Chapter 129: Preparation for the Snow
Chen Wenhui asked, "Sister, what difficulties have you encountered?" ”
Chen Wenhua smiled bitterly and said: "Our sisters are now raising in this Taoist temple that is more beautiful than the palace, eating, and using, none of which is worse than the palace, that is, we can't wear palace clothes, but if you look at our Taoist robe, it is also very fashionable, very good-looking, and has another kind of bearing." Although we don't need to comb those Wangxian buns and the like, our Dao crowns are either gold or jade, and they are also very beautiful. ”
"Yilai stretches out his hand to eat and open his mouth, a bunch of people are waiting, eating in different patterns every day, and every day after eating, he goes to various scenic spots to wander around, wandering between the mountains and rivers. No need to flatter, no need to invite pets, no worries about falling out of favor, no worries about being murdered. If you talk about power, although you don't have real power, it's not okay. We are all familiar with the ladies in the capital, they all like to come to us, and whoever I give them face, they will return the favor to me in the future. Besides, we are the concubines of the first emperor, and later, the first emperor was given the title of national teacher, who dares to underestimate it? ”
"Not to mention that the queen mother is still our sister, who dares to be disrespectful? What we want to do is just a matter of words. It's not even difficult to find a position for someone to assassinate history. This is more powerful than when we were in the harem, sister, you say, this is not a fairy-like life? ”
Chen Wenhui nodded. This life really can't be compared to the life of the palace. It can be said that just enjoyment, less obligation is pitiful. However, this kind of life is indeed what she wants to give to her cousins. After all, they married a bad old man of the grade for the sake of their family. It's not easy. You can't let the hero shed blood and then shed tears.
Chen Wenhua said: "However, since our Taoist temple has flourished, we have made some money and have a lot of money in our hands. As a result, the relatives who had given up on us before surrounded us again. Zhao Yuwen was her biological mother, Mrs. Zhao. Come to think of it, you should have heard of it. For this, Zhao Yuwen was not less angry. She also lost her temper at Mrs. Zhao many times. However, Mrs. Zhao just didn't change, she was her mother. How can it be? ”
"For a while. Your eldest uncle, Zhongyi and his wife, came together to persuade her, and she was still like that. This is already giving us a headache. The funny thing is that our Chen family, my father. My sister's second uncle. The sister-in-law of the Chen family. It's actually the same as Mrs. Zhao, who has no knowledge. Hum. ”
When she said this, Chen Wenhua looked angry, and Chen Wenhui was surprised when she heard it, and she asked, "Why is the second uncle looking for you?" ”
Chen Wenhua said: "My sister is my own family. It doesn't hurt to say that. You know about our second room. Everything is in charge of the mother-in-law. Why is she in charge? Because my grandmother is the daughter of the Li family, the second lady of our second room is also from the Li family. has a grandmother to support her mother-in-law, and she is naturally in charge of the second room. ”
"She didn't give birth to a son herself, she only had a daughter, and she had no choice but to take a concubine for my father, which is why I have my aunts. However, not every one of these people she let out a son. Like my aunt, who gave birth to our two girls, she doesn't have anything yet. There are a few who gave birth to boys, and she killed all the mothers and children. Therefore, the people in our second room are not prosperous. There is only one who is her dowry, loyal, and she saw that she had no hope of having a son, so she let go and gave birth to our younger brother. Otherwise, our second room may be extinct. ”
"Can my father not know anything about these things? Can she hide it for a while, can she hide it for a lifetime? Now, without the protection of my grandmother, the second room is separated again. My father is the head of the family, and he doesn't know what to think, so he actually got a few outer rooms out and really gave birth to a son. ”
Chen Wenhui was surprised and almost called out, she didn't know about this. It is estimated that the Bai family knows, but the Bai family did not say it in the past few years in the northwest, after all, it is not good to say that the second uncle is not behind his back.
Chen Wenhui said: "Can the second aunt agree? ”
Chen Wenhua said: "Naturally, I disagreed. She had a big fight with my father, and in the end, she kicked him out of the house. ”
Chen Wenhui asked strangely: "Why did you get out of the house?" Isn't that home the second uncle's? ”
Chen Wenhua said: "My mother-in-law has managed the housework of the mansion for decades, and she has nothing to do. Everything was ready a long time ago. When I shared the property with the big house, the big house didn't take advantage of it at all. Silver tickets, antiques, valuable things, everything was taken away by my grandmother. In all the shops, the cash on the Zhuangzi was scraped away by my mother-in-law. When the big house was just taken over, it was a hole that had been filled for a few years. In the past two years, things have gotten better. ”
Chen Wenhui knows about this. Back then, the separation of the family was too troublesome.
Chen Wenhua said: "My father has nothing in his hands, only a few thousand taels of silver, and the house he bought for the outer room is recorded in the name of the outer room, so he still has a place to settle down, but my father is the son of a family, and he is used to spending money in this life, where can he be poor?" However, Yiying's fields and shops are all in the hands of his mother-in-law. My father had no choice but to come to me and the like. ”
Chen Wenhui asked strangely: "It turns out that the second uncle is here." ”
Chen Wenhua said: "He is not here today. He often comes, though. He is more ruthless than Mrs. Zhao, after all, he is from a family, he is well-informed, and he has been an official, he knows a lot, and he often runs for those petty officials and gets some money, and he has tens of thousands of taels in the past two years. ”
Chen Wenhui raised her eyebrows and said, "So many? It's a lot of money. ”
Chen Wenhua was so embarrassed that his face was flushed and said, "Sister, don't make fun of me." My father is like this, do you have a good face? Our sisters are going to die of sorrow. You see, our sisters have a father here, and Zhao Yuwen has a Mrs. Zhao there, you say, how can we get away with it? ”
Chen Wenhui thought about it, these two people were too disgusting. She thought for a while and said, "This matter can't be ignored, it involves the reputation of the Chen family and the Zhao family." Mrs. Zhao is my mother-in-law, I can't control it, and my uncle and sister-in-law can't take care of it, but fortunately, my father-in-law is still there, as long as my father-in-law makes a statement, my mother-in-law will not dare to disobey. When I went back, I asked Chongyi to write a letter to my father-in-law. Come to think of it, you will definitely be able to control Mrs. Zhao. ”
"But the second uncle, it's troublesome. I'm going to have to talk to my father and mother about this and see if they can do anything good. ”
Chen Wenhua said with joy on his face: "That's good, as long as the third uncle and the third aunt are willing to come forward, they will definitely be able to solve it." Thank you in advance for my sister. ”
Chen Wenhui smiled.
Then Chen Wenhui asked in detail about the situation in the capital, who got close to whom, and who recently married whom. I talked about it for most of the day. When it was time to eat, Zhao Yuwen had already sent someone to invite her.
Chen Wenhua smiled and said, "Okay, since Master Joan of Arc is so gracious, I won't leave my sister to eat." ”
Chen Wenhua sent Chen Wenhui to the door, and Chen Wenhui led someone to follow Zhao Yuwen's little aunt to Zhao Yuwen's courtyard. Her yard is a three-story building next to the lake, which is very cool in the summer.
After Chen Wenhui entered, she took a look, and sure enough, she was still as luxurious as before, and Zhao Yuwen's temperament would not change for the rest of her life.
Zhao Yuwen very warmly entertained Chen Wenhui, not only grateful to Chen Wenhui, but also embarrassed to tell Mrs. Zhao about it.
Chen Wenhui was prepared this time and was not surprised, so she said the previous method with a smile.
Zhao Yuwen felt that it was appropriate to do so. solemnly asked Chen Wenhui. At the same time, he also said: "My father has been wandering on the battlefield in the South Seas, and we don't know where to send things, and we, as children, must also do a little filial piety, so I will pawn some things and bring them to you, and I will personally repair a book for my father, which is good." ”
Chen Wenhui hurriedly said: "There is no problem with this. When is Gen Joan of Arc ready, send someone to tell me in my mansion, and naturally someone in my mansion will come to pick up things and letters. ”
Zhao Yuwen nodded.
More warmly entertained Chen Wenhui for dinner.
After the meal, the two of them drank tea, Zhao Yuwen wanted to speak and stopped, Chen Wenhui found out and asked, "Master Joan of Arc has anything to say?" ”
Zhao Yuwen had no choice but to say: "A while ago, I heard that the concubine who originally married the eldest prince was the white frost of the Bai family, but now, I don't know what's wrong, it has actually become a treasure of our family." Zhenzhen is a good child, good-looking, generous, and intelligent. However, I suffered a loss in the palace back then, and I couldn't bear to ask Zhenzhen to go to the palace again. ”
Chen Wenhui is strange now. Back then, the sisters of the Zhao family cried and shouted that they were going to enter the palace. How did this change in thinking?
However, this change is still very gratifying to Chen Wenhui, she feels that Zhao Yuwen now has some flavor. She said: "Zhenzhen's road ahead will not be smooth. If we had a choice, we wouldn't want her to be in the palace. However, right now, when our Zhao family is starting a business, we need our own people in the future palace. However, if we let her be an ordinary concubine, we are not willing to do it. Or let her marry the eldest prince. In the future, the eldest prince, our Zhao family, Xiao Chen family, and Chen family will all support it, and strive to make the eldest prince the crown prince, and in the future, we will sit in that position. ”
"At that time, our Zhenzhen will be the queen of the world. I believe that with Zhenzhen's cleverness, what she has learned in the past few years, and the support of the three of us, she will definitely win in the end. ”
Zhao Yuwen was dumbfounded, only feeling in a trance. I have been in the palace for so many years, struggling, and experiencing many ups and downs, before I got to the position of Concubine De. The position of the queen, however, did not dare to think about it. However, in the future, how exciting it is for his niece to be the queen.
Zhao Yuwen made up her mind almost instantly. (To be continued.) )
