Zhao Chongyi was shocked: "Why is Sister Hui'er going to Nanyang?" How can this man who has traveled far and wide be able to do it? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "I am going to go to Nanyang with my second brother, I think it is too boring to stay in the capital, and I still have to go to Nanyang to give full play to my ability." Don't you think it's a bit of a waste for me to stay in the capital all day long and follow those ladies and girls to chant poems, enjoy flowers and drink tea? ”

Zhao Chongyi grinned and said, "Well, this is indeed a bit of a waste. ”

Bai glanced at Zhao Chongyi in surprise and said: "However, this is a woman's life, no matter how capable we are, we women can't take the imperial examination, and we can't be officials, we can only marry and have children, teach husbands and children, manage housework, and help husbands take care of the industry. ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "However, Sister Hui'er is not an ordinary girl, she is so smart and wise, how can she waste it in the back house?" Even if you can't be an official, you can still help manage affairs? Hasn't Sister Hui'er always done well? In the past, I helped Mrs. Chen manage household chores and manage industries, and later helped us with disaster relief, and later, he even went to Shanghai City to help Wenjun build Shanghai City and Xinguang City. Even during this period of time in the capital, she was not idle, she was not still in charge of the construction of the hospital, the Yangshan Hall, and the construction of the painting hall for Master Qiu. ”

Bai said: "Hey, that's because she is in her mother's house, her father and I dote on her, her brother lets her, and her sister-in-law also loves her and follows her heart." However, girls always have to get married, and when they come to other people's homes in the future, can they still let her show her face like this? Besides, even if you want to, but. What man has no self-esteem, can he want his wife to be so capable and cover up his husband's demeanor? ”

Chen Yuanheng glanced at his wife in surprise. Why did Mrs. say such a thing today, talking about her daughter's marriage in front of an outsider. It's not easy.

Zhao Chongyi didn't think about it so much, he quickly said: "How can there be no man who is willing to let his wife come out to do things?" The women in our family are very capable. My mother-in-law, although I don't like her, but she takes care of the home and the outside, and she manages the property, my father and eldest brother are on the battlefield all year round. Where do you know how to manage this? There is also my sister-in-law, she not only manages the housework and industry, but also follows us to Tiebi Pass, in order to manage the families in the army, manage the logistics affairs, organize the women to wash the clothes for the soldiers, make clothes, and take care of the wounded, my father said. Without my sister-in-law, we would not have been able to win such a battle. ”

Chen Wenhui's eyes rippled: "Really? It turns out that Sister Han is so capable? By the way, when you were killing wolves that day. My feet are weak and I vomited, but Sister Han is still as refreshing and graceful as if she is in a flower bush when the blood is flowing all over the ground. ”

Bai nodded with satisfaction. Chen Yuanheng suddenly had a hint of realization in his heart.

Chen Wenlin didn't understand, he said: "Sister, when you go to Nanyang, I will first pay tribute to Brother Yi, Brother Yi charged into battle and made great achievements." They are already four-grade generals and models for their generation. ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "Brother Lin." Don't be presumptuous, don't I know? You Chen have attracted the main force of the barbarians to the past. We can win the battle, and Brother Lin also went to the battlefield in person, which is also worthy of my admiration. ”

Chen Yuanheng laughed and said: "You two are good, the tiger of the gate, the glory of the ancestors, our fathers are proud of you." They are all good men of Da Chu, and Da Chu will definitely be more brilliant in the future with you. Come and have a toast with us. ”

Everyone had a great time drinking this night. After eating, the Bai family sent people and cars to send Zhao Chongyi back to the Zhongyi Mansion.

In the evening, originally, Bai wanted to talk to Chen Yuanheng about something, but Chen Yuanheng was too drunk, so Bai had to give up. The next day, Chen Yuanheng went to the palace early in the morning to see the emperor and report the progress of the promotion of new varieties this time, and then went to the yamen, where a lot of work was piled up waiting for him to do, so it was very late to go to the yamen.

When it was time for dinner, Chen Yuanheng returned home, and as soon as he entered the Bai family's main room, he asked, "Madam, where are the two children?" ”

While serving Chen Yuanheng, Bai took off his official uniform and changed into homely clothes, and complained: "Hey, the children have grown up, the eldest son is far away on Yizhou Island, and the younger son is easy to come back, and he also went out early in the morning to meet friends." I was about to call her over early in the morning to talk, but she had already gone to Yangzendo, saying that there was an urgent matter for her to deal with, and that she had gone out early in the morning with someone and had not yet returned. ”

Chen Yuanheng laughed.

Bai snorted and said, "How can the master be so happy? ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "There are many young masters who only know how to play concubines and play at home in the capital, but they stay at home every day, do you want that kind of son?" Our son has made great achievements at a young age, and he can be in charge of his own affairs, which is a blessing that many people envy. Let's talk about daughters, our daughter is the county lord, which of our county lords in Dachu is locked up in the embroidery building to do needlework? I dare to say that Princess Lichuan may not have embroidered a purse in her life. There is also the eldest princess, who must have never tied a knot in her life. It's those county lords, and the county lords have never stayed at home all day. But what can they do? It's just drinking tea and appreciating flowers, but our daughter has created a career at a young age, better than her brothers, and Mrs. is not blessed in the blessing. ”

Bai Shi sighed and said, "What the master said is the same, it's just that I am a woman who knows it, and I still want my children to be by my side." Seeing that my daughter is going to Nanyang in a hurry, master, what do you think? ”

Chen Yuanheng frowned and said, "I must be reluctant to let my baby daughter leave home so far." However, I think she is really restrained and panicked in the capital. Moreover, today I went to the court, entered the palace to meet the emperor, and chatted with the officials in the ministry, I think there will be a big action in the court again. ”

Bai immediately became nervous and asked, "What big action?" The queen has been abolished, I heard that she is seriously ill and dying, and it is impossible to come back, and the prince is also in captivity, what else can she do? ”

Chen Yuanheng retreated left and right, and said to the Bai family: "I see that the officials in the court have begun to stand in line. It is divided into the Jin King faction and the Qi King faction. It's a terrible struggle. Also, I always feel that there is an undercurrent manipulating in the middle, which makes people confused, but this undercurrent has already grasped the power, and it is really difficult to say what will happen in the future. ”

The Bai family originally had something in his heart, and as soon as he heard it, he immediately told him about the secret realm that he had heard from Chen Wenhui. After finishing speaking, she said that she went to the palace to talk about this matter to the imperial concubine, but the imperial concubine said a lot of strange things, and told Chen Yuanheng those words one by one.

Chen Yuanheng frowned and thought for a while and said, "So, the imperial concubine told you that you want to monitor the movements of the officials in the capital on behalf of Princess Lichuan?" ”

Bai said, "Yes." I've been doing this lately, and even the affairs of the government and our property are under the management of Wen Hui. ”

Chen Yuanheng nodded and said: "If I am not mistaken, the situation you mentioned, combined with the current situation in the imperial court, must be the remnants of the previous dynasty who are causing trouble." I think the emperor is also starting to be vigilant. Such a situation is very hindering for the imperial concubine Niangniang and the king of Jin to become the crown prince. ”

Bai Shi was shocked and said, "Could it be that this power comes from the harem?" There are remnants of the previous dynasty in this harem? ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "That's what I guessed, think about it, the death of this Tian Shangshu family is very strange, because a granddaughter who has not left the cabinet kills the daughter of the loyal and righteous father, and can raid the family and wipe out the family?" It's not such a big crime for the granddaughter of the Tian family to kill the palace concubine? What's more, a woman who has not yet entered the palace and has not been favored by the emperor? If you want to say that the emperor wants to be kind to the loyal and righteous father, he doesn't need to bury the whole Tian family? ”

Bai said: "Yes, those ladies and girls in the capital are all talking about it? It is said that how did this girl of the Zhao family get the favor of the emperor so much, and she actually buried all the first-class Shangshu family for her. The eldest girl of the Zhao family is named Zhao Yuman, everyone is common, she is a beauty, but she is just an ordinary beauty, if she arrives in the palace, she will definitely not be ranked. Not to mention anything else, our concubines are all more beautiful than her. ”

Chen Yuanheng smiled slightly and said: "You women just know how to compare appearance, you know, appearance is not the most important thing, this Miss Zhao is just an excuse for the emperor, the emperor must know the inside story." ”

Bai said: "Well, when the lord said this, I also think so, not only the emperor knows the inside story, but even the imperial concubine also knows, so it must be when the emperor is still the prince." Could it be that the prince favored the concubine back then? ”

Chen Yuanheng glanced at Bai Shi deeply and said, "I just have this worry." I'm afraid that we have worked hard for so long to make the imperial concubine the queen, and we have defeated Wan Guifei and the king of Qi, but the fruits of victory have been taken away by the remnants of the previous dynasty, so what should we do? ”

Bai Shi was taken aback: "Impossible, it is impossible for the emperor to let the remnants of the previous dynasty be the queen." ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "You don't know men, as the emperor, what he likes is the favorite concubine, because he couldn't keep that person because of resistance, and now the emperor has been on the throne for many years, and he is shocked that no force or anyone can interfere with his success." As for the identity of a woman, as a supreme, she will not put the remnants of the previous dynasty in her eyes, in his eyes, it is just a woman he loves, this is a man's self-esteem and self-confidence.
