Zhongyi Gong and the prince Zhao Chongli discussed for two days, and finally decided that Mrs. Shizi should go back to help Mrs. Zhao manage the housework, so that Mrs. Zhao, who was severely injured physically and mentally, could rest. But Mrs. Shizi is a woman, and she has to be escorted by competent people. Therefore, he sent Zhao Chongyi to send his sister-in-law back to the capital. By the way, I also reported to the emperor about the situation in the northwest, and after the report, I had to rush back to the northwest, because the northwest really lacked generals.

Zhao Chongyi fought hard, but in front of his iron-blooded father and eldest brother, all the struggles were ineffective, the Zhao family governed the army strictly, and the family was also strict, Zhao Chongyi had no choice, so he had to pack up and send his sister-in-law back to the capital.

It's already May in the capital. The weather is a little hot, Chen Wenhui has already changed into thin clothes, and now it is very popular in the capital to sell silk with Nanyang tropical pattern from the black family's shop, so this summer dress is a big flower pattern.

Chen Wenhui didn't look good-looking, but her family's business still had to be supported, so she picked up a few plain big flower patterns, as well as those silk with seaweed patterns and shell patterns to make clothes, which looked very good.

In the past two months, her newly made friend, it can also be said that Shi Yuesi, a flower friend, finally entered the palace and became a Shi nobleman. Chen Wenhui was a little stunned. However, Chen Wenhui finally met Shi Yuesi's master, Qiu Zijie, the most famous and legendary painter in Da Chu. Wen Hui's painting attainments and spirituality are actually stronger than Shi Yuesi, so Qiu Zijie fell in love with talent at first sight and accepted Wen Hui as an apprentice.

Bai was very happy and specially prepared a rich gift for Qiu Zijie. Qiu Zijie has wandered the rivers and lakes in his life, and has accepted many apprentices, but there are very few who are as rich as Chen Wenhui's family. He only sees two things when he accepts apprentices, one is his love for painting, and the other is talent. Therefore, most of the disciples are from medium-sized families and poor students.

Chen Wenhui became Qiu Zijie's disciple and found that the teacher lived in a small mountain village near the capital. The scenery is picturesque, and the living conditions of the teacher's family are really poor, a small thatched shed, which is still in disrepair. Everywhere the wind is exposed. In fact, this is just one of Qiu Zijie's residences, and he often travels abroad in order to paint, and this dilapidated home is where his old wife and children live.

At first, Chen Wenhui couldn't understand it, because Qiu Zijie was the most famous painter in Dachu, and a painting could often be sold for thousands of taels of silver, why was the family still so poor? After asking, I found out that most of Qiu Zijie's disciples were born in poverty, and Qiu Zijie's money from selling paintings. Most of them were spent on the disciples. He himself is still a celebrity temper, and if he has the right temper, he will give the painting to others, and if he is not in the temper, he will not paint for 10,000 taels. In this way, poverty is inevitable.

Chen Wenhui is very popular with Qiu Zijie. Because Chen Wenhui is very talented in painting. He also loves painting, not to mention, Chen Wenhui also demonstrated his Western painting skills, such as watercolor, sketching, and oil painting skills, to Qiu Zijie. gave Qiu Zijie a great inspiration, and naturally he liked this apprentice very much.

In fact. Like Qiu Zijie has been studying painting all his life, his skills have reached the peak, and it is difficult to make an inch, and now Chen Wenhui gave him another way of thinking, and suddenly pointed out a special path for Qiu Zijie, and Qiu Zijie saw the hope of his own painting progress. Can you not be happy?

Taking advantage of Qiu Zijie's happiness, Chen Wenhui proposed to help Qiu Zijie's family improve the current living environment. In fact, Qiu Zijie is now obsessed with new painting methods, where do you care about that, just say a word, whatever she does.

Chen Wenhui got this sentence. Immediately took out his own silver and bought a lot of land for Qiu Zijie's family in and out of this mountain village, about more than 1,000 acres. In fact, this small mountain village can buy very little land, only more than 100 acres, most of them are in a small basin outside the mountain, there are more than 1,000 acres, just got a Zhuangzi, Chen Wenhui built two residences, one is in this picturesque village, the other is in the place outside the mountain where there is a grange, so that the people of the enemy family can live in their own picturesque small village, or they can live outside the mountain in order to take care of their own grange.

With more than 1,000 acres of land, Qiu Zijie's family finally got rid of poverty and became a somewhat wealthy little rich man. After doing this, Chen Wenhui was still not satisfied, and also equipped the Qiu family's house with comfortable, practical, and generous furniture from the Hei family, and also equipped with three carriages, all of which were produced by the Wind Hall and specially customized. One is the most comfortable, spacious, and equipped with a tea stove, a snack box, and a special folding table for painting, so that when Qiu Zijie travels in the future, he can ride in a comfortable carriage and paint at any time. Of course, this carriage can also be used for three or four people, so that it is convenient for those disciples who follow Qiu Zijie to serve Qiu Zijie.

There are also two carriages, one for Shi Niang, and one for Qiu Zijie's sons to come and take care of the Grange.

After equipping these, Chen Wenhui bought a piece of land next to the Qiu family's house and built a painting hall, which was kept for Qiu Zijie to teach his disciples in the future. Of course, this painting hall is a bit large, divided into two floors, the upper and lower floors. After Qiu Zijie visited, he didn't understand and asked: "Hui'er, why is this still divided into two floors, and why is the lower floor divided into several large rooms, and each room is equipped with so many paintings and seats, where do we have so many people?" ”

Chen Wenhui said with a smile: "The teacher has been painting all his life, and the disciples have also received a lot, but many of the senior brothers and sisters have no occupation and are also poor people. Therefore, I have set up several classrooms on this lower floor, which are specially used by the senior brothers and sisters to recruit disciples, so that if the children of rich families want to learn to paint, they have to pay high tuition fees, and the children of poor families want to come to learn painting, they will be given free of charge. And the senior brothers and sisters who have taught the apprentices have bundles to take, so that, firstly, our painting can be carried forward, and secondly, the senior brothers and sisters can also have a stable income. ”

Qiu Zijie was very happy, he didn't expect that his lifelong wish would be fulfilled by this female disciple in his later years. Being able to carry forward the painting road makes him happier than Chen Wenhui buying her land, building a house, and matching a carriage.

The name of a senior brother next to him is Wu Renying, his family is poor, but his paintings are very good, and he has studied painting with Qiu Zijie all the year round. Because he was born in poverty, this name was given by Qiu Zijie. At this time, he asked: "But, little sister, this poor child doesn't need tuition, so where does the money come from for the teachers in our painting hall?" ”

Chen Wenhui said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, I have already asked people to buy a grange in the Gyeonggi area, about more than 3,000 acres of land, and all the income of this village is used to pay for the school." We have a lot of expenses in this school, the teachers' constraints, as well as the students' painting tools, paper, paints, and every year the teachers have to take the students out to travel, only by seeing more about the mountains and rivers can we draw good paintings, which all need money, but I think that the income of more than 3,000 acres of land should be enough. It's just that one senior brother is responsible for managing this expense, and one senior brother is dedicated to managing the Grange, so that's fine. ”

Although Qiu Zijie is a celebrity, he is not uncannibalistic, and he is a little worried at this time: "Hui'er, you are buying me land, building a house for me, equipping furniture, carriages, building a painting hall, and buying 3,000 acres of land for the painting hall, how much does this cost?" ”

Wu Ziying said: "I know that someone once said that the Chen family is the richest family in Dachu, but how can the little junior sister take so much money from the family at such a young age?" Don't let people gossip. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "What gossip can you say? Do you say that some of you adults lied to me, a child from a rich family? Sue you, this money is not my family's money, it is my own money, I have a lot of property, I earn it myself, I spend my own money, who will say? ”

Qiu Zijie and Wu Renying's eyes widened: "Your own money, where does you have so much money as a little girl?" Or did you earn it yourself? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Where can this be regarded as a lot of money? It's just that the 3,000-mu Zhuangzi in the Gyeonggi area is a little more expensive, and it actually costs 20 taels of silver per mu, which is really not cost-effective. If you can buy two acres of land for one or two taels of silver in Nanyang, or even three or four acres of land. It cost me 60,000 or 70,000 taels of silver to buy the Zhuangzi, because I also built a house for the tenants of the long-term workers and a house for the future housekeeper to live in. And then there are these houses, because there are skilled craftsmen of the Hei family to work for us, so the master's house and painting hall did not cost much money, even wood, stone and the like, and did not cost 10,000 taels. There are also furniture, horse-drawn carriages and the like, which are also about 10,000 taels. Then there is the grange of the master's family, this more than 1,000 acres is not as expensive as it is outside because it is in the mountains, on average, it is 13 taels of silver per acre, and it costs more than 10,000 taels of silver. This is a total of 100,000 taels of silver, which is nothing. ”

Wu Renying has never heard of so much money in his life, 100,000 taels of silver, it's really an astronomical amount.

Chen Wenhui felt very funny when she saw Wu Renying's widening eyes: "This is nothing, does Senior Brother know that the Hei family has recently opened four shops in the capital?" ”

Wu Renying said: "I know this, and I've been to see it, our carriage was personally rushed back to the Wind Hall." The things there are all high-quality and expensive. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Three of the four shops have my shares, and the shares of these three shops have brought me more than 40,000 taels of income in the past two months. Say, "What is my spending of a hundred thousand taels of silver?" But a few months of hard work can earn it back. ”

Wu Renying and Qiu Zijie only felt dizzy, such four money-making shops actually belonged to Wen Hui, a little girl, no, it can't be regarded as Wen Hui's, but she has shares in it. But this is also very remarkable, ordinary girl's family, where are these industries? Also, this is not the Chen family's industry, it is Wen Hui's own industry. When he first accepted Chen Wenhui, Qiu Zijie knew that the Chen family was rich, but he never expected that Chen Wenhui, a little girl, would be so rich.

It seems that the painting is going to flourish in Chen Wenhui's hands.
