"I'm already satisfied. Naturally, the things that my sister explained will be done. By the way, a few days ago, I met Sister Wen Yuan, and after she was released, she became the wife of the former prince. It looks like the eyebrows and eyes are stretched. She also told me that she was wrong before, always thinking about dealing with her own sisters, but she didn't expect that it was her own sisters who helped her in the end, she was really ashamed. ”

Chen Wenhui Yaoyao said: "These are nothing, where are the sisters who have an overnight feud, our sisters of the Chen family should help each other like this." Seeing that my sisters are doing well, I am also relieved. ”

Zhenyou nodded.

Chen Wenhui said: "I'm about to leave for the northwest, and the affairs of the capital will have to trouble my sisters to worry about." ”

Zhenyou said, "I know this. You have to be careful when you go, after all, it is a bitter cold place, so you can rest assured in the capital. There are two sisters in the people, there are hall sisters and aunts in the palace, and there are three uncles and three aunts in the court. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled.

Chen Wenhui and Zhenyou talked for a while about the construction of the Taoist temple, as well as about the fields around the Taoist temple and the maintenance of the shops. Because the land around the Taoist temple is Chen Wenhui's. Chen Wenhui asked Zhenyou to build some shops in front of the Taoist temple in the future, specializing in selling some rouge gouache, clothes and fabrics commonly used by women. In this way, in the future, if the Taoist temple becomes popular, those noble ladies and noblewomen will come to the Taoist temple to play, and by the way, they can also visit the shops, what era, where, women's money is the best to earn.

The two of them discussed for a while until they were able to eat. They called Lang Xue to go to Joan of Arc and Zhenxian together, and they made peace with the Bai family, and happily ate a meal.

In the evening, Chen Wenhui returned to the house, saw Zhao Chongyi, and said to Zhao Chongyi: "We went to the Taoist temple today. Joan of Arc lived a good life in the Taoist temple. It's just that the daily supply is a little worse than my two cousins. ”

Zhao Chongyi frowned and said, "After all, it's also my sister." Shall we help her? ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said: "Of course I have to help, if it was Zhao Yufei, I wouldn't have helped." However, Zhao Yuwen is a different matter. She used to be arrogant and had no one in her sights, especially under the influence of her mother. It's bad for you. But. Now, after so many years of court life, she is no longer the arrogant and loyal princess, she is already a concubine. Now it's the widow Dogu Joan of Arc again. Ups and downs in the harem for so many years. Pampered. Fall out of favor, out of the palace, widowhood. This is all contributed to her growth. Now she knows how to do it, and she is kind to you, and she knows intimacy with me. ”

Zhao Chongyi nodded and said: "Yes, it is precisely like this, I feel that she is pitiful, although she is a concubine, but this is also equivalent to being poisoned by Mrs. Zhao, since she was a child, she has been envious of vanity since she was a child, and she has to enter the palace and enjoy the glory and wealth, but our family is already a prince's family, where is there a lack of glory and wealth?" Originally, according to my father's wishes, their sisters found someone lower than our family to marry, so as to ensure that their sisters would not be bullied for the rest of their lives. Of course, the father prepared a rich dowry for each of them. It's a pity that their sisters were raised by Mrs. Zhao, and they only envied Ronghua and were bent on going to the palace. ”

"No, the eldest sister was poisoned before she entered the palace. The second sister entered the palace and became a concubine, but what? Have you lived a happy life? How many grievances have you suffered in the palace? How much money does our family contribute to it? However, did Yuwen enjoy the contribution of this money? ”

"Now it's even more miserable, she became a widow at a young age, although she escaped with a life, but after all, she became a Taoist aunt, and it is impossible to remarry in this life, and it is impossible to have any more children, not even to adopt a child. Look at women of her age, such as Mingzhu, who is loved by her husband and has both children and daughters, why don't you feel sorry for her? However, there is no way to do this, after all, the royal etiquette is there, and it is not for us to decide. Then we can only help her live better, dress better, and eat better. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "Yes." In fact, her life is okay now, after all, the emperor once gave her a grange of 2,000 acres of land. However, these are all imperial villages near the capital. You know, the grange near the capital is the most expensive, but the production is not good, plus those people on the Huangzhuang are all black-hearted, and they all know to reach out and ask for money, where will they give you good management. So, this time, I went over and consulted with Joan of Arc about her property. ”

She told me that now, she lives on the dowry shop and Zhuangzi given by her family when she entered the palace before, as well as the two hundred taels of silver given by the Zhongyi Mansion every month. Life is tight. The monthly concubine rule in the palace is very poor, and it can't be used at all, even if the silver can be used improvised, but the silver is the least. So, I have an idea for her, I can get her housekeeper or the married maid's family to train her and manage her property. Sell the 2,000 acres of Huangzhuang that the emperor gave at the beginning, and the money obtained is enough to buy a shop in Shanghai. The monthly rental income is much better than that of Huangzhuang. ”

"However, this Huangzhuang is not meant to be sold. This has to be told to the palace. This point, my mother agreed, she went into the palace to tell the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother spoke, she naturally wanted to sell it. In this way, Joan of Arc was happy, but Zhenyou and Zhenxian were clamoring to sell the Huangzhuang in their hands by the way, and they were naughty enough with the people who ate the imperial food in the Huangzhuang. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Wenhui couldn't help laughing.

"My mother knows best the virtues of these people in the imperial village who eat the imperial grain in the capital, so she agreed. In this way, the three of them can realize a sum of money. I gave them an idea, the money they used to sell the imperial village, as well as some of the money they had saved in their hands, should not go to the capital, but go to Shanghai to buy a shop. Simply build the street at the entrance of the Taoist temple, and make it into a shop, or a shop with a yard and a warehouse, and there must be three floors, and there is a private room inside. In this way, in the future, this street will be dedicated to the business of those noble ladies and ladies who come to Taoist temples to make incense, selling rouge gouache, clothes and fabrics, food and other things, and the income will definitely get better and better in the future. It's good to manage, and it's much easier to take care of than buying shops in Beijing and Shanghai. ”

As soon as they heard it, they thought it was a good idea, and they were ready to do it. Therefore, in the future, Joan of Arc's life can live very well just by relying on the rent collection of these shops. However, the current year or two is not easy. It doesn't matter if Zhenxian and Zhenyou are there, they have two supplies every month, my mother and the Chen family's mansion. But Joan of Arc was in trouble. I promised to say that our house would supply Joan of Arc with two hundred taels of silver every month, and six horses of the finest and freshest Nanyang silk every quarter. It has been supplied for two years, and after two years, the Taoist temple has been built, and there are more people coming, so naturally the business of the shops in front of the door will be good. At that time, Joan of Arc could live well without our supply. So Joan of Arc was very happy. ”

"But, at first thought, we were about to leave the capital, and Joan of Arc was worried about her supply. At that time, the snow was also there, and the snow was very generous in front of my mother, as well as Zhenxian, Zhenyou said, the middle feed in our house is taking care of the snow, and after we left, the snow will ensure that the supply is on time, not deducted, and the quality is superior. At the time, Joan of Arc was embarrassed to hear this. took Langxue's hand and apologized to Rongxue, saying that he was a villain's heart and a gentleman's belly. ”

When Zhao Chongyi heard this, he was also happy and said: "They can get along well, and I am also happy, although Mrs. Zhao is the enemy of me and Rong Xue, but this is a sin created by Mrs. Zhao, and it has nothing to do with Mrs. Zhao's children. ”

Hearing Zhao Chongyi say this, Chen Wenhui was very happy, which showed that Zhao Chongyi could treat those past hatreds normally. She has always been afraid that those past things will cause a shadow in Zhao Chongyi's heart, but now it seems that she will not.

Chen Wenhui said: "The affairs of the house, I will arrange the snow tomorrow, and now, the snow will also be prepared to marry in southern Xinjiang in the future, and other things and the like are better to say, this manpower aspect is the most critical, and it must be cultivated from now on." ”

Zhao Chongyi smiled and said: "I am most relieved that you arrange these things." We are also about to set off, and the emperor asked Qin Tianjian to choose the day for us to be the sixth day of the next month. Probably the day after tomorrow, the will for the two of us will be given, and we will have to prepare it when the time comes. After making the will, I am afraid that some relatives and friends will come to congratulate them, and these will also be explained to Langxue to cook. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "I will do this." But do you know what kind of will it is? "With the close relationship between Zhao Chongyi and the emperor, the emperor most likely solicited Zhao Chongyi's opinion.

Sure enough, Zhao Chongyi said with a smile: "The emperor has appointed me as a first-class feudal official, the Duke of the Northwest, the military and political power in the Northwest, the civil and military officials in the Northwest Tiebi Pass, the Northwest Army, the three western provinces, and the prairie left by the barbarians we fought down are all under my jurisdiction." After I can go, I can gradually build a new province, and I can set up civil and military officials at all levels, as long as I report to the officials of the capital when the time comes. You also know that the Ministry of Officials is already in the hands of Jing Yuan, and when the time comes, will my request be agreed? There is only one deputy position below me, and that is you, the county lord of Wenhui, the governor of Nanyang, and the deputy governor of the northwest. Hahaha. ”

Seeing Zhao Chongyi's smug face, Chen Wenhui said helplessly: "But the emperor is afraid that you will be bullied by me?" (To be continued......)
