Chapter 278: Population
At this time, the door was opened, and a voice came and said, "Oh my God, which one is this?" How can the girl's family say that? This pearl is going to get married tomorrow, how can you say this at this time? β
Wen Hui and Mingzhu were shocked, this place is guarded by the maid, who will come? Only Yaozhen's face was happy, and she quickly stood up and said, "Sister-in-law." β
Sure enough, what came in was a colorful jade full of pearls. Wen Hui and Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief, and Wen Hui said, "I'll just say it?" I want Qiubi to stay outside, how can I let irrelevant people in. β
Caiyu came in and didn't speak, Qiaozhen also came in, and said with a smile on her head: "Oh, that Qiubi of yours is shrewd and capable, can you let irrelevant people in?" It's so strong, who can come in but us. Wen Hui, you too, what time is it, hurry up and let Mingzhu out, this is her big day, what should those ladies do if they come in to add makeup and can't see her? We'll just have to talk here for a while. β
Wen Hui thought about it too, and hurriedly urged Mingzhu to go out. The remaining few chatted together, now that Yaozhen is pregnant, it is the focus of everyone, Caiyu and Qiaozhen are very concerned and ask a lot of questions, especially Caiyu, who has already given birth, and is Yaozhen's sister-in-law, so she naturally instructed many precautions.
After chatting for a while, everyone hurriedly went out. After all, they all came with their mother-in-law, so it was not good to stay for too long. Yaozhen also honestly returned to Concubine Bai's side. Bai Yujing glanced at Wen Hui and specially asked the maid to bring a pestle for Yaozhen to sit on. Originally, there was no seat in the concubine's room, but Bai Yujing was specially rewarded for Wen Hui's face. tickled Li Shuyu's teeth on the side.
was in a hurry, and came down to report that Mingzhu's uncle was here. I brought a lot of makeup. Attract everyone to see it. I took a breath at a glance, there were twelve lifts, and there was a dowry Zhuangzi on the edge of the capital, and a house in the capital. That's a valuable thing. There are many silks, clothes, jewelry, and some precious furniture from the rest of the palace. There are many bookcases such as huanghuali and red sandalwood. The workmanship is excellent, and the craftsmanship is much better than that of Jiangnan. Everyone praised it, this Pearl girl is really blessed, the foreign family is so pampered, the stepmother is so loved, with the Chen family and the Hu family taking care of it, the backstage of the Pearl girl is very thick.
The next day was the wedding, and the scene was grand. Liu Jingyuan was very pitiful, first when he came to destroy the makeup, he was rectified by Wen Hui's two brothers, and finally passed Wen Lin, Wen Jun's level, and met Wen Hui, who was even more narrow, and Liu Jingyuan had the heart to cry. Fortunately, in the end, Mingzhu felt sorry for him, and asked the maid to give Wen Hui a letter, and let Liu Jingyuan pass the test. Liu Jingyuan's clothes were soaked with sweat.
Next is the cumbersome wedding ceremony, the most sensational thing in Qingyang City is the dowry team of Mingzhu's ten miles of red makeup, there are one hundred and twenty dowries, and they are all real, the boxes are all tall and large, and one of them has more things than the three of ordinary people. There are not a lot of clothes, of course, enough for Mingzhu to wear for three years. Most of them are all kinds of silks, precious medicinal herbs, all kinds of precious jewelry, and well-made furniture. They are all sour branches, yellow pear, red sandalwood and other precious woods. There is no ordinary wood at all. The most striking thing is the first shop and the grange.
Liu Jingyuan's mother is not a person with a small vision, she originally thought that her son had a bright future, but she married the daughter of a divorced woman, and she was a little unhappy, but now she was stunned when she saw the red makeup for ten miles, and secretly said to Master Liu: "Master, how can this Hu family have so much property, doesn't it mean that she gave all the family property to her mother's family?" How can I buy so many dowries, I calculate that it may be more than 100,000 taels of silver. Even if there is a dowry of 50,000 taels from our family, she has to come up with 50,000 taels, where did she get so much money? β
Master Liu smiled and said, "Madam, you don't know this, right?" I inquired before, it seems that this Mrs. Hu is a friend of Mrs. Thorn Shi, and Mrs. Thorn Shi took Mrs. Hu to do some business, several of which are investment in real estate, and they are all doubled to earn money, so it is normal to have this money. Also, the Hu family in the capital regards Mingzhu as a girl from their own family, not only surnamed Hu, but also prepared a dowry according to the specifications of marrying their own girl, in addition to these, Master Hu and Mrs. Hu also added makeup to their granddaughter, and several uncles also added makeup, not to mention, there are officials all over the city, rich businessmen are rushing to add makeup, and ah, this assassin has added the most. The dowry of 100,000 taels you mentioned is less, and I estimate that it is at least 200,000 taels."
Mother Liu was taken aback, and said with some sorrow: "Oh, how good is this, I originally thought that her dowry was not much, I was so good, even the princes and nobles of the capital can't take out such a dowry, how can I discipline my daughter-in-law in the future?" β
Master Liu said: "Also, in addition to money, this pearl girl is the righteous daughter of Chen Tingshi, you look at this posture, everything does not need our in-laws to show up, the Chen family is doing it, you know, this Chen Tingshi will be the pearl's dependence in the future." This is a three-grade master. This is not to mention, you see that the Hu family attaches great importance to Cheng dΓΉ, we know it in the capital, and the Hu family has also married a few girls, but none of them attach so much importance to this and give more things, this Hu family has a first-class member, and several uncles of Mingzhu are also five-grade and fourth-grade officials. In our family, there is only one Wupin Ah Yuan. β
Liu Mu was completely worried: "Isn't this just rich and powerful?" What to do? Do I have to look at my daughter-in-law's face in the future? β
Master Liu said with a smile: "Madam, you are drilling the horns again, no matter how rich and powerful this daughter-in-law is, she is a junior, you are all a mother-in-law, she can't violate filial piety." As long as you don't torture your daughter-in-law, your daughter-in-law will definitely treat you well, there is a way, people's hearts are flesh and blood, we treat her well, will she treat us badly? β
Mother Liu thought about it, she didn't have the heart to bully her daughter-in-law, and she would definitely be able to get along well in the future. Besides, the daughter-in-law is rich and powerful, isn't it? It's all cheap for my own son. Thinking of this, Liu Mu liked Mingzhu more and more.
Master Liu said: "We have been to Qingyang City twice, and we also know a little about this place, don't you know that your in-laws are a kind person?" A person who is called a living bodhisattva by the people of Qingyang City, can the daughter raised by such a person be bad? Moreover, I heard that Mingzhu is very capable, takes care of his own business, and takes care of it very well, and the pills we eat are all made by Mingzhu's own pharmaceutical factory, and every year the profit from this can catch up with our tea shop. Therefore, I plan to let Mingzhu take care of our tea mountains and tea farms in Jiangnan. β
Liu's mother was not good at these, but after listening to it, she agreed very much and said: "This is the best, it's just that they are a young couple, and Ah Yuan is busy with official business, just relying on Mingzhu, are you tired?" β
Master Liu smiled: "You, I'm starting to feel sorry for my daughter-in-law after a while." What a good mother-in-law. Don't worry, those who can work hard, this thing will not be difficult for her. I have a hunch that our tea mountain tea field will definitely be carried forward in the hands of Mingzhu. β
Liu's mother has always been convinced by her husband's words, and after listening to it, she likes Mingzhu even more.
After busy with Mingzhu's wedding, Wen Hui was temporarily idle, but the Bai family was not idle, but was actively preparing for Mingzhu's return ceremony, which was the highlight of her mother's family. Wen Hui had no choice but to help her mother take care of it.
There was a little spare time in the middle, Wen Hui and her brothers talked to their father about the recent development of Shanghai City.
Chen Yuanheng was very satisfied with the talents of his son and daughter, and also told them about the recent government affairs in Huzhou. The officials in Huzhou who were hindered were all killed or transferred away during the drought, so Chen Yuanheng was very handy in handling government affairs. Huzhou is very well managed, and the annual tax is completed smoothly, the market is prosperous, and it has been rewarded by the emperor many times. The new seeds have long been implemented in Huzhou Province, this autumn harvest, the Lan family is the happiest, this time there are a total of two provinces of cotton ripe, this time it is enough for him to open all the looms for a year. Moreover, the cotton cloth of the Lan family has begun to open up the market, and the low price is not only quickly accepted by the people, but also exported overseas, and it is very popular in the Wa Kingdom and Goguryeo, and Silla. Now the Lan family makes a lot of money, and it will surpass the Wang family.
The Wang family has been very obedient recently, Wang Yihe, the head of the Wang family, came to Chen Yuanheng in person, admitted his mistake, and swore allegiance to Chen Yuanheng, this time Chen Yuanheng did not postpone it, and accepted it very happily.
The Chen family's current economic situation is very good, first the one million taels of silver were taken back, and then 90,000 taels of silver were divided, and the Lan family's cotton cloth business was also very popular.
Wen Hui was very happy to hear it. After listening, Wen Hui said to Chen Yuanheng: "Father, with the success of our brother's HNA in the future, we will want to get the family industry overseas, which will require a large number of people. We should not only train more manpower, but also encourage the people of Huzhou to produce more, and only when we have more Han people can we occupy more vast lands overseas. β
Chen Yuanheng pondered and said: "Hui'er, what you said makes sense, but now the population of Huzhou is already very large, and there are many people in many places. β
Chen Wenjun said happily: "Father, we have found a lot of land overseas, such as the shrimp pancreatic island of the Wa Kingdom, where the land is vast and the population is small, we can occupy a lot of land, and the Wa Kingdom, we have bought a lord's land, which can allow some of our people of Dachu to go, so that with our land can we really occupy this place." Father, you should hurry up and encourage the population, and it is better to get some people to go with me to the Wa Kingdom. β
Chen Wenhui looked at the eldest brother and thought, is this the rhythm of starting the colony? It's a good start to start with the Wa Kingdom.
