Two days later, Chen Wenhui and his wife went to Xiao Chen's house. and Chen Yuanheng, the parents of the Xiao Chen family, discussed the matter of returning to Nanyang.

Chen Yuanheng groaned. Bai said: "How long have you been back, it's less than a year, and now that there is a war going on in southern Xinjiang, it's almost the New Year, why do you have to go out?" ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said to her mother, "We must have to leave after the New Year." Although the war against southern Xinjiang went smoothly, after all, southern Xinjiang has been in business for many years, and it will not end within a year. It will take a few years to fight. We can't wait forever. Besides, we will take advantage of this opportunity to settle the prisoners of war who have been sent to Nanyang in a steady stream of people and prisoners of war that we have bought. Now our four cities are populated enough. If you don't hurry up to create a new city, where can it be accommodated. This creates a new city, there are a lot of things, what if we don't go back? ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "What Hui'er said makes sense. Let's go first. Just talk to the emperor. Anyway, we're going to Yizhou Island soon. When the time comes, let's meet again in Nanyang. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled happily.

Bai said: "Then you will leave after the New Year, won't you be able to catch up with Zhenzhen's wedding?" ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it for a while, and said: "We didn't give a wedding to the snow, otherwise, before we leave, I will go to the treasury to select some rare treasures to send to Zhenzhen, even if it is to add makeup in advance, I will not give her a wedding in person." ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "I'm afraid that my eldest brother and sister-in-law will be a little disappointed, but next year, they have a lot of things, and Zhenzhen is going to get married." Honggang wants to get married. I'm afraid I'll be busy. You might even be a little tight. ”

Bai said: "The big head is Zhenzhen's marriage, and this is ready." They seem to have prepared something for 200,000 taels of silver, and your father-in-law gave 200,000 taels of silver. You have given five hundred thousand taels of silver. Many things were also given, which was enough. There weren't so many of Wang Yaozhen back then. Jane Jane is more than her aunts. As for Zhao Honggang, it will take less to marry a daughter-in-law, and the silver may be tens of thousands of taels, or even no more than 30,000 taels. With this little money, your eldest brother's family still has no problem. ”

"However, this dowry requires something precious. You can help with that. ”

Chen Wenhui hurriedly said: "Then when I choose something." Also pick some for the eldest brother and sister-in-law to send. It can be regarded as blessing Honggang in advance. In this way, the eldest brother and sister-in-law will not be embarrassed. We are more at ease even if we go to Nanyang. ”

Bai nodded. Zhao Chongyi thought about it too, so he nodded.

Chen Yuanheng said: "Retire after success, and worship righteousness." You're right. Now. The situation is not bad, and there is nothing in the capital that makes us feel uneasy. You Zhao family. Your eldest brother has already gained a foothold in the capital and is the leader of the imperial court's military generals. And. The daughter married the future crown prince, and the son married the Chen family. is the niece and son-in-law of the queen's mother, and your Zhao family should be stable. Our Chen family, Wen Qi has already experienced well, and after I give office, Wen Qi can just take over. ”

"We can go to Nanyang with peace of mind, I can work for a few more years, and give more to Wen Lin and Wen Jun. As for your mothers, you don't have to do all the heavy lifting anymore. Wen Lin, Wen Jun has more children, and when they are older, I can educate boys, and your mother can educate good spirits and girls. Cultivating more talents for the Xiao Chen family is the foundation of our foothold. ”

Chen Wenhui felt that what her father said was very true, and said, "Mother, if that's the case, I want to hand over Hongling to you to raise." ”

Bai Shi smiled and said: "Of course it's good, it's just that I will either live in Xinguang City or Tianshui City in the future." Can you give up your child? ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it, in this world, but there is no such thing as an airplane, distance is a big problem, and her beloved daughter is reluctant to stay away for a long time. After thinking for a while, Chen Wenhui said: "In this way, if my mother is in Tianshui City, I will send Hongling to Tianshui City." We should be living in Qingchun City for a long time. It is still very convenient to get from Qingchun City to Tianshui City. The distance is also close and the roads are well built. You can take a boat, you can take a horse-drawn carriage. ”

Bai said: "I haven't discussed with your eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, I am ready to live in Xinguang City for half a year and Tianshui City for half a year." In this way, when I was in Tianshui City, you sent the child. Half a year later, your father and I went back to Shinguang City, and it wouldn't be good for you to pick up the child again. ”

Chen Wenhui was happy and said, "This is good, this is good, so that I can send Honglie to my father to raise him." Honglie is a boy, half a year with Chongyi, Chongyi taught some art of war, martial arts, half a year with my father, learn some governance, learning and the like. How nice. ”

Chen Yuanheng nodded.

Within a few days, Zhao Chongyi submitted a request to the emperor to resign from his post and return to Nanyang with his wife and children.

The emperor was very upset, and he categorically disagreed. Zhao Chongyi privately talked to the emperor for a long time, Liu Jingyuan also found the emperor to intercede, and in the end, the emperor reluctantly agreed, and after Zhao Chongyi's New Year, the family went back to Nanyang. In order to make the emperor make up his mind as soon as possible, Chen Wenhui specially sent armor and weapons worth one million taels of silver made by the Hei family to the imperial army that was attacking southern Xinjiang.

The emperor was very satisfied with Chen Wenhui's intellectual interest.

In the palace, Chen Wenfeng was summoning Chen Wenhui to speak: "It's so easy for our sisters to get together, why are you so alive and want to leave?" ”

Chen Wenhui smiled bitterly and said: "My Nanyang city has been gone for more than ten years and ignored it. Queen Mother, you say, can I not return to my heart like an arrow? ”

When Queen Chen Wenfeng heard this, she pinched her fingers and counted, and sure enough, she couldn't help but sigh: "Time flies, time is fleeting, I didn't expect that ten years will pass in a blink of an eye." Why do I still think your wedding was like yesterday? ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Niangniang, my son can already ride a horse and draw a bow." I also remember that when my mother was pregnant, it was in Jiangnan, and I was also in Jiangnan. However, now, the eldest prince is about to get married. ”

The queen thought about it and said with a smile: "None of us are old, it is the children who have made us old." ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Niangniang is not old, Niangniang is still the harem of Yanguan. ”

The queen smiled and said, "Don't be so polite to your own sisters. Where am I in the Yanguan harem, and the harem of the crown is almost the same. Anyway, I am already a mother-in-law, the emperor trusts me, the family is prosperous, and the future of the eldest prince is also very good. Am I still going to compete for favor like those little girls? I'll live my life well, and I'll be the queen of the main palace. Virtuous and virtuous, when she met a virtuous beauty, she accepted it to the emperor. If there is a favorite concubine with different intentions, I will get another one more beautiful and younger to come back and take away the emperor. If I am more beautiful and younger in two years, and I have a different heart, I will make a girl who is more beautiful and young than this one enter the palace. Anyway, I'm steady. ”

"This is what makes you the southeast and northwest wind, and I stand still."

Chen Wenhui said: "Niangniang, this is wisdom. ”

The queen smiled bitterly and said, "What wisdom, it's helpless." Who can be like you, a couple for the rest of your life? My sister is very envious. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled.

The queen said: "Don't worry, you go to Nanyang, and I will take good care of the Wenhua women here in the capital." Even if it's your sister-in-law, Gen Joan of Arc, I'll take care of it. ”

Chen Wenhui hurriedly thanked her.

Coming out of the queen's palace, Chen Wenhui was a little embarrassed. This is the woman in the palace.

After going back, Chen Wenhui was counting the warehouse at home, packing up some precious things, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and painting, silk, furniture, utensils, jade, four scholarly things and other things. In addition to these, she also checked out some things that were not the most precious, ordinary things, and prepared to give them to some friends and relatives before leaving. was busy here, and the water lotus came to report that the pearl was coming.

Chen Wenhui was overjoyed and hurriedly greeted him.

Mingzhu and Chen Wenhui sat down and said, "I really envy you, I can pack up and wait to get out of Beijing." When you get to Nanyang, you have to write to me quickly. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Do you still need to talk about this?" Let's take a sip of tea first. This is the new fruit tea I asked someone to make this year, and it is the most nourishing and nourishing for the skin. ”

Mingzhu took a sip and said, "It tastes good, I'll wrap it for me when I leave later." ”

Chen Wenhui laughed, this is her best friend She said, "Don't worry, it's already ready." ”

Mingzhu said: "In a while, there will be another person who will also come, you must be very happy." ”

Chen Wenhui hurriedly asked, "Who?" ”

Mingzhu said: "Sister Caiyu. ”

Chen Wenhui was overjoyed and said, "But seriously, she came to the capital?" It's going to be the New Year now, why did she come to the capital? ”

Mingzhu said: "She has some business matters, she came to the capital, she couldn't stay for a few days, and she just heard that you were back, and she came to meet you." Tomorrow, she will go back to Jiangnan. ”

Chen Wenhui hurriedly called Shuilian to prepare the banquet, which was in the glass flower room in the mansion. I'm used to staying in the northwest, and when I return to the capital, I really don't get used to it without a glass flower house. One was built. It's even more beautiful than the one in the northwest.

As they were arranged, Shui Hong had already come in and said, "County Lord, Mrs. Lan is here." ”

Chen Wenhui hurriedly went out with Mingzhu to greet him.

As soon as I went out, I saw that Lan Caiyu had just come in, and I saw that she was wearing a royal blue feather satin cloak, and several pieces of jade jewelry on her head, all of which were hairpins and the like, and she didn't shake it, and she looked very clean and neat.

Lan Caiyu saw Mingzhu and Chen Wenhui hurriedly walking over and holding Mingzhu and Chen Wenhui's hands. The sisters have not seen each other for many years, and they are very happy. (To be continued.) )
