Chapter 256: Marrying the Right Person
In the past two days, Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi have faced each other day and night, never leaving each other, where does Zhao Chongyi have the time and effort to prepare gifts?
Zhao Chongyi said proudly: "You don't know this, right?" Actually, I was ready for a long time, and I was ready when you didn't return to the capital. Most of these things were brought back from the northwest, and the rest were purchased when I spent some time in the capital, wandering around every day and finding suitable things. How about you take a look? ”
Chen Wenhui took a look, and sure enough, most of them were things with northwest characteristics, such as gemstones, such as the muslin cloth produced by the Bai family in the northwest, such as antiques in the barbarian royal court, jade ornaments, scimitars inlaid with gems, and knives used to cut meat with silver scabbards. There are also some things in the capital, such as good inkstones, fine paper, antique washes, fine porcelain, and new silks.
Chen Wenhui was moved in her heart.
Zhao Chongyi said: "I am not a second ancestor, I also have merit, an official position, money, and a money-making industry that my good wife took care of for me, so this time I only know how to let my father prepare for me, and how can I show my sincerity, so that the people of your Chen family and the people of the world know that the world-famous Lord Wenhui did not marry the wrong person." ”
Chen Wenhui said gently: "Chongyi, I didn't marry the wrong person, marrying you is my greatest happiness." ”
Zhao Chongyi opened his mouth happily.
The next day, the two of them set off directly from the county lord's mansion, with rich gifts, prepared by the Zhongyi Mansion and Zhao Chongyi in advance, and went to Xiao Chen's house together.
When they arrived at Xiao Chen's house, the Chen family, relatives, and many officials and eunuchs in the capital, the families were all financially together, and most of the guests were arranged by the Chen family to go to the place where the banquet was placed to eat wine, and Zhao Chongyi was pulled to the banquet by Chen Wenjun and Chen Wenlin as soon as he arrived at the Chen family.
Chen Wenhui, under the leadership of her two sisters-in-law, went to kowtow to her grandmother, mother, and aunts.
When Bai saw Chen Wenhui, he couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.
Grandmother Li asked amiably: "Wen Hui, how are you living in the Zhao family?" ”
The corners of the mouth of the second lady Li and the eldest lady Wang on the side involuntarily twitched, and the two of them thought at the same time, can this be called a good life in the Zhao family? Chen Wenhui has never lived in the Zhao family at all? Chen Wenhui and his family even got married in their own mansion. The two of them are in their own mansions, just two masters, a large number of servants waiting, looking at the fairyland-like beauty, living in a house with carved beams and paintings, and a newlywed Yan'er, can you not be comfortable? Just look at Chen Wenhui's red face and happy appearance. At present, among all the daughters of the Chen family who have married, it is really the first one to enjoy happiness like Chen Wenhui.
Sure enough, Chen Wenhui said: "Grandmother Lao is worried, Wenhui lives very well in her mother-in-law's house." My father-in-law and mother-in-law treat each other well. The husband is also very good, and the sister-in-law also treats each other very well. The clansmen of the Zhao family also saw it, and they quickly became familiar with Wen Hui. A few families also asked Wen Hui to go to their house to sit in the future. ”
The eldest lady Wang and the second lady Li couldn't help pouting, thinking to themselves, the people in the capital have spread all over the city, and your tens of thousands of taels of silver will be scattered, from the clansmen, to the masters of the Zhao family, to the servants of the Zhao family, they have all received gifts and rewards, can they treat you badly? Who can't get along with money?
The old lady Li said happily: "That's good, our Chen family's daughter is famous for her virtue. You can't lose the reputation of the Chen family's daughter. ”
Chen Wenhui hurriedly agreed.
The old lady Li gave a few more instructions, and began to bring the ladies into the table.
Bai took a moment, took Chen Wenhui to her room, took Chen Wenhui's hand and asked, "How is it?" How is Chongyi treating you? ”
Chen Wenhui's face turned red, and Bai had already seen that her daughter's pink face was full of spring and shyness, but the feeling of happiness filled her whole body and looked radiant, and this feeling could not be pretended. I can't help but feel relieved, it seems that this son-in-law is still very right.
Bai said: "It seems that Chongyi treats you very well. ”
Chen Wenhui said: "Yes, we have had a good time in the past two days. ”
After speaking, I told the deeds of the two people in the past two days. Especially when she talked about what happened during the tea ceremony, how she embarrassed her mother-in-law who found fault. Bai Shi listened to the willow eyebrows and said, "What you said is very good. We don't want to be angry with her as a shrew. Hmph, I have to pinch my daughter-in-law on the first day I enter the door, and my heart is too anxious, and my appearance is too ugly. It seems that it is better to give her something powerful. ”
Chen Wenhui said: "Mother doesn't need to be angry, don't I have nothing to do?" Don't worry, she won't be able to deal with me. She can't beat me, she can't beat me, don't forget what my guards do. She doesn't have as much money as me, and I can kill her if I take the money. Why are you angry for her? Mother is talking to me here, what about the ladies and sisters in front of me? ”
Bai Shi smiled and said, "Don't worry, your two sisters-in-law are very capable, they have already gone to entertain, just don't need me to show up." My daughter-in-law came back to realize the benefits of being a mother-in-law. The two capable daughters-in-law picked up a qiē, and I was idle. ”
Chen Wenhui said with a smile: "Of course, my two sisters-in-law are good talents who can take care of a city, and they can't cope with the banquet of the ladies in the capital?" ”
Bai Shi nodded and said, "Yes." Your mother-in-law is like this, although we are not afraid of her, but she finds fault like this every day, which is still not good for your reputation in the future. She must be waiting for you now, you hid yesterday, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no thousand days to prevent thieves. We still have to figure out a way. ”
Chen Wenhui said: "The brain grows on her head, she wants to deal with me, what should I do?" Is it wronged to seek perfection, convince people with virtue, serve her, move her, and let her give up automatically. ”
She has always disapproved of such a little white flower behavior, and she is unwilling to do it.
Bai Shi smiled and said, "Where is the need to beg her so lowly." We're the daughters of a family. Don't worry, I've done it a long time ago, it's just that if she doesn't do anything excessive, I'll be useless all the time, now, on the first day of her tea, she dares to target you, then don't blame me for being ruthless, doesn't she want to fight? Then I'll let her see the real house fight, and our family girl is also smarter than her, a village woman. ”
Chen Wenhui has always known that her mother is a master of house fighting. Moreover, the women of the family are much stronger than a grassroots lady like Mrs. Zhao, after all, the women of the family who learned art from the palace at the highest level of house fighting when they were children are all powerful. Especially his mother, who is a master. Look at the mother-in-law's attitude, the mother had expected it a long time ago, and the mother had been prepared, but she didn't know what it was, she asked curiously: "Mother, what kind of method is it?" ”
Bai said: "It's nothing to say it, she is not alone in this world, she always has someone to worry about." She is your mother-in-law, we can't move her, but we can move the people she cares about. For example, her mother's family, those people are all attached to her in this country, and the duchess is living in the capital. Some are petty officials, some are doing some business in the capital, and some have recently wanted to marry some official families. As long as we do it, they won't be able to eat and walk around, when the time comes, the career will encounter difficulties, the business will not be done, the marriage will fail, hum, when the time comes, they can only run to your mother-in-law to cry, and your mother-in-law will know the consequences of provoking our family. Hmph, delusional to deal with you like the Han family, who was born in the Qingliu family, is really blinding her. ”
Chen Wenhui was speechless, is this called bullying? Well, come out and mix, there is a day as it should be. This world is originally a world of the jungle, and her mother-in-law who can't figure it out dares to find fault, so let her taste the bitter fruit.
Chen Wenhui said with a smile: "I think she is unlucky this time." Okay, Mother, let's not talk about this unlucky Mrs. Zhao. Let's talk about something happy. Mother, have you seen my return list? ”
Bai Shi smiled and said: "Well, Mrs. Zhao can't figure it out, but your father-in-law, Lao Zhongyi, is still a smart man, and he has prepared a lot for you, which really gives us parents a face." You didn't see the face of your second aunt. This return gift is even richer than when Wen Jin returned to the door, and she married the son of the Hou Ye back then. ”
Chen Wenhui said happily: "No, my father-in-law still has nothing to say to me." However, I always feel that he has his own intentions, so let's wait and see later. As long as it's not too much, for the sake of him being Chongyi's father, I'm still willing to help him. But, Mother, you know what? The reason why this return gift is so generous is not only because my father-in-law prepared a lot for me, but also because Chongyi prepared it himself. ”
At this moment, the Bai family asked strangely: "How come there is Chongyi who prepared it himself?" ”
Chen Wenhui said what Zhao Chongyi said before, and then took out a list, which was the one prepared by Zhao Chongyi. Bai Shi read it and was very moved in his heart and said, "You really found a good husband." Chongyi's child is so lovely, in the future, your father and I will treat him as if he were his own son. ”
Chen Wenhui smiled happily.
The mother and daughter talked for a while, and then went out with them, after all, it was not good to make the guests wait too long. On this day, Zhao Chongyi was poured too much, when Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi went back to the county lord's mansion, Zhao Chongyi was still asleep, Chen Wenhui waited for most of the night, and later, after Zhao Chongyi woke up, he was distressed and swore to the sky that he would definitely control drinking in the future, and he couldn't let Chen Wenhui worry so much.
Chen Wenhui stared at the dark circles under her eyes and smiled. R1152
