Chapter 157: Interference in Politics
Chen Yuanheng's words were immediately opposed by the Bai family: "No, Hui'er is a girl's family, and she is so small." ”
Chen Yuanheng said: "Madam, Mingzhu is also a girl's family, Mingzhu is also our daughter, not to mention Lin'er and Mrs. Hu." ”
Bai thought that Hu would follow, and he could rest assured, so he didn't say anything.
Chen Wenhui was very surprised at first, and after thinking about it, she understood that her father wanted to let him follow Liu Yan as a staff officer.
Chen Wenhui had doubts in her heart but did not speak. Liu Yan and Zhao Chongyi on the side were overjoyed. It's just that Liu Yan is happy in his heart, and his face is still the same as usual. Zhao Chongyi was already dancing.
Chen Yuanheng said: "I have seen that the holy decree is coming down in two days, and we still have a lot of things to prepare, so let's hurry up and prepare." Madam, Lin'er and Hui'er are going to go far away, you work harder, prepare more things, anyway, you are going by boat, you can bring more things. ”
Bai Shi hurriedly agreed, and he had already begun to make a list in his mind. By this time, it was already late, and everyone said goodbye and went back to rest. Chen Wenhui deliberately walked at the end, and when everyone was gone, Wen Hui returned to the room, and when she saw her father sitting there waiting, she pursed her lips and smiled, "Father, what do you mean by letting me go?" ”
Chen Yuanheng said: "I knew you were going to come back and ask." This time, the four princes have a lot to do with disaster relief, and the family, the concubine Niangniang has made a heavy bet, and if it succeeds, our Chen family will be able to take advantage of this glory, if not, we may be silent for fifty years or even longer. Therefore, there must be no mistakes. Through the contact these days, I think that although the four princes are intelligent, bearing, and ambitious, they are the best among the princes, but after all, they have not been raised by their biological mothers since they were children, and they are raised in the deep palace, and they don't know much about many things, so I am very uneasy, so I can only let you go. ”
Chen Wenhui said: "Father. Is it a good thing that I exposed my talent at such a young age? ”
Chen Yuanheng smiled and said, "Hui'er, you are ten years old. If you keep your head, you're not a child. At your age, the children of ordinary families are still children, but the girls of our noble families have begun to learn to be housekeepers. ”
Chen Wenhui pouted: "I've been learning housekeeping for a long time." ”
Chen Yuanheng said: "You only learned to manage the affairs of the inner house before. If our status was not high in the past, these would be enough, but now I am the elder of the family, and I am not an unpopular concubine, of course, your status is equivalent to those concubines in the family. The cultivation of the daughters of the family is different. ”
This Chen Wenhui was confused. Bai sighed and said: "I don't understand any of this, because I am a concubine, but I know that the sisters and sisters in the family not only have four personal maids. There is a mother. Mother-in-law. What's more important is to have your own guard. ”
Chen Wenhui was taken aback: "Guard, what do girls want to guard?" ”
Chen Yuanheng said: "The guards are the sons and daughters of the family. I didn't have it as a concubine. So neither did your brothers. But now all three of you brothers and sisters are going to have it. Because you are about to enter the ranks of the family's concubines, of course, you just want to become. It's not to become, it depends on whether we help the four princes deal with disaster relief. If this matter is dealt with, the four princes will be valued by the emperor, and they will become powerful princes, or even princes. Then I must also become an elder of the family, and you will be able to become a concubine by that time. ”
Chen Wenhui is from modern times, of course, she has no feelings for these concubines, but seeing the excited appearance of Bai and Chen Yuanheng, she also knows that this matter is too important.
Chen Yuanheng continued: "Although you are not concubines yet. However, we need to prepare now, first to equip you and your brothers with escorts. This is for us to recruit ourselves, and of course we have to spend our own money. Now many of the sons and daughters of the family have lost because of the decline of the branch they belong to, and they have no money to equip them with. Even with it, he couldn't even keep his status as a son-in-law. We don't have zài now. We have no shortage of silver now, so I am ready to equip you with the best and finest guards. You don't have to worry about this, you just need to do good things, and I'll prepare for this. ”
Chen Wenhui was strange and asked, "I can understand that my sister-in-law needs to be protected, but why does my sister-in-law need it?" ”
Chen Yuanheng said with a smile: "The daughters of our Chen family are all married to the royal family or other big families as clan wives, or they become the clan wives of the nobles. For example, your eldest aunt became the crown prince at that time, and now she is a concubine. The second aunt married the son of Linhai Boshi, and the third aunt married the second son of the eldest princess. It is not an easy thing to become the wife of a big family, and you have to deal with a lot of things, so you must have a guard, which can protect your status in your in-law's family. ”
Now Chen Wenhui understood. He said, "But father, mother, I don't want to marry the sons of those big families, I like a quiet life, and I don't want to be stuck in a fight all my life." I hate backyard fights. ”
Chen Yuanheng smiled bitterly, and the Bai family said: "Hui'er, we won't let you marry into a big family, we plan to wait for a few years when you grow up, we will find you a person with good character and a small family, but we still have to have what we should have, so you will be dismissed for the matter of guarding, let your father buy it." ”
Chen Yuanheng continued: "Before the concubines get married, in addition to learning the affairs of the inner court, they also have to communicate, and they must learn to understand the affairs of the court. ”
Now Chen Wenhui understands, think about it, the eldest aunt in her own family can control the government, and the eldest aunt's daughter Princess Lichuan also has her own power in the court, or if she opens a store in the capital at home, how can she find Princess Lichuan as a backer.
Chen Yuanheng said: "Therefore, if you travel with the Four Princes this time, others will only think that the Chen family will support the Four Princes and will not stand out in the slightest." ”
It turned out that Chen Wenhui wanted to be left, she didn't want to be too showy when she came to ancient times as a woman, but she didn't expect that girls in this era were very showy, so it would be bad if she was too low-key. After figuring it out, Chen Wenhui agreed to travel with the four princes. After chatting with my parents for a few more words, I said goodbye and went back to rest.
When Chen Wenhui left, there were only Chen and his wife left in the house, and Bai said: "Master, do you see it, Liu Jingyuan's little brother seems to be interested in our pearl." ”
Chen Yuanheng said with a smile: "I'm very optimistic about them, this is the fate of meeting thousands of miles away." It just so happens that Mrs. Hu is also going this time, you remind Mrs. Hu and let her take this opportunity to take a good look at Brother Liu. ”
Bai agreed with a smile. After a while, Bai Shi remembered something again, frowned and said, "Master, I always think that the little brother of the Zhao family is also interesting to our Hui'er." ”
Chen Yuanheng frowned when he heard this: "The Zhao family is not a good place. Now that the loyal and righteous soldiers are in power, it is hot, and there is a mess in the backyard, which is really famous in the entire capital. Zhao Chongyi is a concubine, I don't want Hui'er to be a concubine's daughter-in-law. ”
Bai Shi remembered the life he had lived in the Chen Mansion in the capital before, shuddered, and said, "I can't let Hui'er live like that. ”
Chen Yuanheng said: "Fortunately, our Hui'er is still young, don't worry, Zhao Chongyi will be thrown away after two years, how can he wait so long." ”
Bai thought about the age difference between them, and put his mind at ease. Then discuss with Chen Yuanheng what things to prepare.
The next day, several boys and girls were busy, and there were a lot of preparations before leaving, and Chen Wenhui made a regular list by herself. I went out with Mingzhu early in the morning.
And after two days, the decree really came. The first to arrive was Concubine De's letter to Liu Yan and Chen Yuanheng. The letter said that this time the emperor was very pleased with the achievements of the four princes, praised them several times, and of course also praised the three princes, and the three princes did a very good job in the three eastern states. punished a group of corrupt officials, distributed food for disaster relief, and was praised by the people, and even the umbrellas sent by the people were sent to the court.
The second prince made the emperor furious. After the second prince arrived in the three states to the west, he was warmly received by the local officials, and the second prince also distributed some relief food, but most of the time was spent on the local green building. This news was brought to the court by someone with a heart, and the emperor lost his temper, so he withdrew the second prince and locked him up in the palace to let him reflect on it. The three states in the west were replaced by a prince of the royal family and the emperor's contemporary, and Prince Zheng went.
A few people knew as soon as they heard that the second prince was eliminated, and now the fierce rival is the third prince.
The ensuing decree caused several people to look at each other. Because the first breaking news in the holy decree was that Chen Yuanheng was promoted again, this time he was promoted two levels in a row, and it became the history of Huzhou. Yan Songbai, the original Huzhou Thorn Shi, was transferred to the capital. The prefect of Deqing was succeeded by Huang Tingzhen, the county magistrate of Anseong.
Chen Yuanheng had already guessed that he was going to be promoted, after all, if he did a good job in Deqing this disaster relief, he would definitely be rewarded by the emperor, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, the promotion and promotion of ordinary officials was at the end of the year, this is the middle of the year, half a year in advance, and it was promoted two levels in a row, which became a thorn in history. Chen Yuanheng originally thought that this time he could be promoted to a higher level, serve in Qingyang City, and become a direct subordinate of the Thorn History, and when the time came, he would drink the Thorn Shi Yan Songbai Dou, for this A few years in advance, Chen Yuanheng began to arrange, opened a branch in Qingyang City, and arranged manpower. But he really went to Qingyang City to serve, but he was not an ordinary subordinate official, but the biggest official assassin in Huzhou. Yan Songbai went to the capital, and he couldn't fight now.
