Chen Wenhui didn't have time to pay attention to the grievances of these little girls' families, and after she came back from the northwest, she was not idle, because she had to deal with a lot of things and prepare for a big thing. That is, to strike at the Bai family in order to prepare for war.

After being busy for many days, the dust had settled on the major event of marriage in the capital, so Chen Wenhui took the time to take the children to the Taoist temple outside the city.

Along the way, Zhao Honglie and Zhao Hongling were very excited. When they were in the northwest, they were all wild. It's really unaccustomed to being locked up in the city like this now.

Now that they are in the suburbs and can breathe fresh air, the two children are very happy.

Chen Wenhui is also in a much better mood, and secretly made up her mind that no matter how busy she is at work in the future, she must also ensure that she will take her children to the suburbs every once in a while to get close to nature.

After sitting in the car for a while, out of the city, Zhao Honglie was already impatient, so he directly changed his pony and rode away.

Zhao Hongling was very envious, but she was too young to ride a horse alone, so she could only look at her brother.

Chen Wenhui said pitifully: "In a few years, when Ling'er is older, her mother will also get a pony for Ling'er, okay?" ”

Zhao Hongling's eyes lit up and said, "Ling'er wants to be white, and it looks better than my brother's." ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Okay, no problem." ”

The mother and daughter were talking, and soon arrived at the Taoist temple. Approaching the Taoist temple, Chen Wenhui couldn't believe it, where is this still the deserted Taoist temple back then? It's a bustling place with people selling everything in the market. Restaurants, inns, ready-to-wear shops, silver buildings, silk shops, everything.

Chen Wenhui couldn't help laughing, and when she arrived at the Taoist temple, Chen Wenhua's sisters and Zhao Yuwen had already greeted her early.

They were very happy to see each other.

Chen Wenhui found that Zhao Yuwen was much richer and plumper than before. The face is ruddy. The robe on his body is apricot yellow, embroidered with large flowers, and it looks like there is another sense of fashion.

Look again, two cousins. One is wearing a moon-white robe. One was wearing a cyan robe. There are no large embroideries on the robe, but there are complex light and dark embroidery. There is an understated luxury.

Chen Wenhui thinks that the three of them should have a good life here.

With the three national teachers walking around together, worshipping the gods, and offering incense, Chen Wenhui was invited to a place called Yingyuxuan to drink tea.

Chen Wenhui said: "Sisters, when I left, the Taoist temple had not yet been fully completed, and now it has been completed, which is really beautiful. The black master's handwriting will not disappoint. ”

Zhao Yuwen hurriedly said: "No, every grass and tree, every brick and tile of this Taoist temple is unique. It's really a change of scenery, and it's already a famous garden in the whole Chu. It's nice to be able to live here. It's all thanks to my sister. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled.

The Chen Wenhua sisters also thanked them.

Chen Wenhui said a few words of humility.

Zhao Yuwen has been practicing in the Taoist temple in the past few years, with a pair of eyes, she is very good at seeing people and things, and she knows at a glance that Chen Wenhui has something to say to Chen Wenhua, so she smiled and said: "Yesterday, I knew the news, my sister is coming over today." So, I fed a pot of mushroom soup early in the morning, and it was very delicious. I'll go over and have a look, and in a moment, I'll ask my sister to go to my place for lunch anyway. ”

Chen Wenhui postponed it once, but there was no result, so she could only agree. Zhao Yuwen walked out with a smile.

Chen Wenhua said to his sister: "You go and get busy with you first, I just have me to take care of the sixth sister here." ”

Wait until everyone is gone.

Chen Wenhua said to Chen Wenhui: "Sister, you have also seen that the Taoist temple is now very prosperous, which is all a blessing for my sister." ”

Chen Wenhui said: "It's also my sister who has a good business. I've looked at the books you give me every year, and now, you don't have to pay me every year. You have the harvest of thousands of acres of land around here, plus the expenses of those who come to the Taoist temple to rejoice, eat, feast, enjoy flowers, and enjoy the scenery, that is, there is no land harvest enough. ”

Chen Wenhua said: "Yes. Now the harvest of the land is minimal. The most profitable thing for us is to sell a number of houses that rely on Taoist temples, which are very profitable, and we have earned back half of the money we used to build this Taoist temple. ”

"And then there's the street market that you see when you come. Because the Taoist temple is now a place where dignitaries and nobles in the capital often come, correspondingly, there are more things for food, clothing, housing and transportation. The rent of the shop is rising every year, and now the rent of the three streets in front of the Taoist temple alone is enough for us to spend a year. ”

"Not to mention, the Taoist temple can still rely on the money collected by the reception of dignitaries every year. For example, renting our courtyard and pavilion, eating and fasting with us, worshipping the gods and making wishes, there is still a lot of surplus. All of these add up, and we have calculated it, and last year, for example, we can win more than 50,000 or 60,000 taels of silver. 50,000 or 60,000 yuan a year, 5 or 600,000 yuan in ten years, you take it first, and soon the capital you invested back then will be returned. ”

"That's what I thought, so I told you a long time ago to send you all the surplus to the northwest, but you just refused, just took the profits from the sale of the house. Let's donate the rest. In this way, you have been with half of your money for so many years, not to mention making money. What to do? ”

Chen Wenhui said with a smile: "When I built this Taoist temple, I didn't think of recovering the cost. It's a lot of money, but to me, it's really nothing. As long as my sisters can have a happy life, and can provide me with some convenience and some news, then the money is worth it. What's more, the last time I sold the house, half of it was already recycled. Wouldn't that be a better deal for me? ”

"The rest, even if it is counted, tens of thousands of taels of silver, I am not short of it, so if the Taoist temple can do some charitable things for me and help the people, I feel that the money is worth it."

"Silver is a trivial matter, the key is that my sisters have helped our Xiao Chen family, Chen family, and Zhao family in the capital, and even the queen mother also relies on you to help her. I've been in the Northwest for so many years, and I've been able to hear and see clearly, but it's not the news you gave? Also, over the years, the money and things that the imperial court has given to the northwest have been able to arrive smoothly without hindrance, and they are all the result of your maneuvering, how can I forget? ”

"So, I want to tell my sister that if you have any money in the future, you don't have to send it to me, and you can directly subsidize it to the three sisters. If you have any surplus, invest more, such as buying more land, buying two more shops, etc. This is the accumulation of grain to prevent hunger. ”

Chen Wenhua understood. Nodding his head, he said, "I understand." Then I'm not welcome to my sister. ”

Chen Wenhua smiled and nodded.

Chen Wenhui then asked: "Sister, I heard that Zhao Yuwen is here, and Mrs. Zhao is also here, that is my mother-in-law, I better pay a visit." ”

Chen Wenhua couldn't help but pouted and said, "She, in a year, she spends most of the year in our Taoist temple. Now, as soon as I heard that you were coming, I was busy smearing oil on the soles of my feet and went back. ”

Chen Wenhui couldn't help but laugh.

Chen Wenhua also smiled and said: "It has always been a daughter-in-law who is afraid of her mother-in-law, but you are good, and your mother-in-law is afraid of your daughter-in-law." ”

Chen Wenhui understood that before going to the northwest, her parents' parents saw Mrs. Zhao repeatedly bullying her and calculating her, so they simply took action against Mrs. Zhao's mother's family, and Mrs. Zhao's mother's family has not recovered from that blow.

Chen Wenhui has been married to the Zhao family for almost ten years, but most of the time is spent outside, such as Jiangnan, southern Xinjiang, and northwest. In the capital for a few days, Mrs. Zhao calculated Chen Wenhui, Chen Wenhui did not suffer a loss, and also made two cooks from the Japanese Kingdom for Zhongyi Gong, and made her backyard a mess. made Mrs. Zhao suffer a dark loss.

Even if this is the case, it doesn't count, Chen Wenhui didn't suffer a loss, Xiao Chen's family took care of her shortcomings, and dealt with Mrs. Zhao's maiden family, you say, if Chen Wenhui really suffers a loss, Xiao Chen's family won't destroy Mrs. Zhao?

Can Mrs. Zhao not be afraid?

Chen Wenhui said: "Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door." She has a ghost in her heart. ”

Chen Wenhua sighed when he heard this and said, "Speaking of which, I was just about to tell you." Back then, we were also in the palace with infinite scenery, but the first emperor was seriously ill and finally died, what are our sisters? It's just a surviving man. Although the family came forward and thought of a way to avoid being buried and going to the royal temple to suffer, there is no future in life, and we are destined to live a life of the walking dead. ”

"However, later, my sister gave us this Taoist temple, and she planned the Taoist temple so well. Now the Taoist temple is very lively, and our sisters are accompanied by people every day, and they still go out of the social circle of noblewomen in the capital every day. He also has no worries about food and clothing, and his status is transcendent. It's all thanks to my sister. However, my sister didn't ask us what we wanted. ”

"However, some people, who are still our closest relatives, saw that we were lively here, and they stared at it again. Before, we held a funeral for the emperor, and the Taoist temple only worshiped God every day, and when it was not open to the public, why didn't they come, why didn't they come to talk about flesh and blood, and why didn't they come to see if we were short of food and clothing? ”

"Now, looking at the prosperity, there are benefits to be made, and Baba has come up. I wanted to ignore these people, but these people are indeed close relatives, and it would be against filial piety to ignore them. We also don't want to smear the face of the Chen family girl and the Zhao family girl. Hey, but, just take care of it, these people are insatiable, and it's really annoying to make people angry. ”

Chen Wenhui is a little strange now. Previously, I heard Mrs. Han say that Mrs. Zhao came to Zhao Yuwen to collect money in Zhao Yuwen's name, but how can Chen Wenhua also have this trouble? (To be continued.) )
