The ladies in the palace are constantly fighting, but Chen Wenhui is very happy, because there are two things that make her happy recently, one is that the disciples of the Hei family have finally arrived, and the other is that the father and mother have finally found a house, that is, the house near the palace. Chen Yuanheng is wealthy, and he is also an official of the Ministry of Industry, after this Spring Festival, he and those colleagues, visit each other, party, mingle, those officials are surprised to see that Chen Yuanheng is already a waiter, and the real power figure in the Ministry of Industry is second only to Shangshu, and he is so close to his subordinate colleagues, they are very surprised. Besides, what kind of identity is Chen Yuanheng, he is a member of the Chen family, a wealthy family, and the brother of the concubine, such characters are far from being comparable to these ordinary officials. Everyone thought that he would inevitably hold a noble status, but who knew that Chen Yuanheng was so approachable and willing to contact him.

This time, he took a fancy to this house, and it was not bad for money, so naturally these officials of the Ministry of Industry turned to him, and finally sold the house to the Chen family at a price of 500,000 taels of silver.

Chen Yuanheng is very happy to buy such a satisfactory house, this is the beginning of his self-reliance, and it is the basis for his family. Bai and Chen Wenhui are also very happy, because with their own house, they can get rid of the complicated personnel in this mansion and live their own small life.

Especially the Bai family, who is used to being the housewife, now comes to send people under the fence, and has to serve her mother-in-law, and deal with the intrigues and tricks of the second lady, she has long been bored, and now she can have her own place and be the master of the house, and this happy mood can't be hidden.

Bai was so happy, he took the silver ticket to Chen Yuanheng early, and asked Chen Yuanheng to go through the formalities quickly, and when it was done, Bai took Chen Wenhui to see the house in a car.

Looking at this, Chen Wenhui was dumbfounded, it was really magnificent. Carved beams and paintings, originally, the queen advocated luxury, so. Her private home is gorgeously furnished. Later, relying on the power of the queen, she either bought the courtyards around the house where she was married, or forcibly occupied them, and finally made it into a big mansion, which was even more poor and luxurious, and later came to Ren's hands, although Ren's family is very low-key, but after all, it is the family of the crown princess. There are more people who are stammering, so this house is better built.

Chen Wenhui couldn't help but feel that the housing conditions of the ancients were really good.

Bai Shi was still not satisfied, and while watching, he asked the housekeeper Chen Cai to write it down. A lot of places to be changed, to be built. For example, a glass conservatory should be built in the middle of the flower dock, so that you can enjoy the flowers in winter. There is also a natural wood pavilion in the bamboo forest, and it is also elegant to enjoy the bamboo and listen to the wind. It's important that the wood is still with bark, so that it's wild.

Bai said to Wen Hui: "The appreciation level of this queen and the former crown princess is also too poor. If you make a house red and willow green, it doesn't look like the atmosphere that a nobleman should have, but like a nouveau riche. Alas, how can I get rid of all these flowery and willow green decorations to calm down. ”

Chen Cai smiled and said, "This is easy to do." Those colors have to be whitewashed every year, and we don't need those big red and green colors when we paint them next year. Switch to a light shade and you're good to go. It's less effort and money than redrawing. Actually, it's time to re-whitewash this year, after all. This house has also been delayed for more than half a year without whitewashing. ”

Bai said: "You're right, while we haven't moved here yet, you first called the craftsmen to repaint it, and get rid of these troublesome big flowers and purple ones and replace them with elegant patterns." As much as I can, I want to move here sooner. ”

Chen Cai said: "It's not difficult, but the furniture in the house has to be replaced." The house is not furnished. The original furniture has already been sold. ”

Bai Shi frowned. Wen Hui said: "This is easy, first pick up a few yards and pay for the furniture, we will live first, and do the rest slowly, anyway, our family has a small population, where can we use all the houses in this house at once." First of all, I'm going to live in that Fragrance Pavilion. The fragrance is overflowing, the flowers are in full bloom, the house is quiet, the house is also large, and the storeroom and cover room at the back are complete. There are also study rooms, hugging buildings, and flower halls, which are convenient for me to discuss with the stewards and receive friends. ”

Bai Shi smiled and said: "You have a good eye, just like that, Steward Chen, pay for the furniture of Yixiang Pavilion as soon as possible, it must be the most exquisite, so that it can be used by the girl." ”

Chen Cai hurriedly smiled and said: "The old slave must have done his best to make the girl's boudoir the most elegant and beautiful." ”

Chen Wenhui is very happy. Bai suddenly remembered one thing and asked: "Actually, in terms of it, the craftsmanship of the Hei family is very good, and the craftsmen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Industry are the best." We can't talk about the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but the Craftsman Division is from the Ministry of Works, and it's just a matter of your father's words, but I still think it's best for the Black Family to come and make these furniture for us. Didn't you say that the people of the Black Family were coming? Why don't we wait for them to arrive and make furniture for our house first? In this way, the craftsman and the black family come together, and our furniture is built faster. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "This is true. The people of the Black Family will be there in about four or five days. This time, it was Tang Guanghui, the owner of Jinmingpu, who came with many disciples. Originally, Zhou Mao, the hall master of Heigetang, was only coming, but some places in Nanyang had recently discovered mineral deposits, and he was busy taking people to see them. If it were true, we would have transported the Japanese slaves who opened the mines, and they were responsible for the mines, and we would have made more profits. This is not the income of the big guys in Xinguang City, but the real income of our family. If he doesn't come, it's the Tang shop owner of Jinming Shop. I was thinking, how can they settle so many people? This is not right, settled in our heart house, while working, I arrange for them to study, and they can live again. However, when we moved in, they would not be able to live in it, and we had to buy them a new house. This money is not from us, it is from the Hei family itself, and the Hei family is very powerful. ”

Bai Shi listened and said: "Actually, this matter of buying a house is also easy to do, didn't you receive donations from many ladies at the donation meeting?" Many of them donated their houses, among which the noble concubine donated her dowry, which is also a good house, very close to here. Because back then, when each family prepared dowries for the good women who were going to enter the prince's mansion, they all wanted to be close to the palace, so the dowry houses of the Wang family, the Li family, the Bai family, and the Chen family were all crowded together. This Wang family's house is the one we are looking at now, and the house that our Chen family prepared for Niangniang is in the alley next to it. Although it's not as big as this house, it's not small, it's enough for the black family, and we're close, you can still help the mother sell the house into silver, isn't it? ”

Wen Hui was very happy when she heard this and said, "I don't know about this. I really want to get a pillow for sleepy. Actually, in addition to the problem of housing, I also want to buy a few more shops for the Hei family, because Tang Guanghui said in his letter to me that he wanted to do the Hei family's business in the capital. Actually, this is a good thing, but I'm going to help him find a house. As soon as my mother said this, I remembered that there were several shops in my aunt's dowry, and they were also nearby, so I sold them together to the Hei family, so that the eldest aunt's property could be quickly realized and invested in the construction of our hospital and Yangshan Hall, and the Hei family also got the house and shop they wanted. Anyway, the black family is not short of money now. ”

Bai laughed and asked, "What business are the Hei family going to do?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "The Tang shopkeeper told me in a letter that he wanted to sell some of the specialties of Yizhou Island to the capital. For example, the best sugar, this is not the sugar that those maritime traders bought from the four major families of Yizhou Island, but the snowflake candy that has been finely processed by the black family. It should be easy to sell, and there are patterns from the black family, brocades with strange weaving techniques, and furniture made of precious wood. ”

Bai said: "That's good. It's just that my daughter knows how to see business opportunities the most, and you don't want to meddle in such a good business? ”

Chen Wenhui smiled embarrassedly and said: "My mother still understands me, I just want to cooperate with the black family to do business, I thought of a few businesses, one is the business of high-end jewelry." Nowadays, the jewelry used by everyone is made in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The private ones are good for the business of a few big silver buildings. We have supported Wanjia Yinlou for several years, but we have never been able to occupy the market of high-end jewelry. I thought about it for a while, probably because there are no particularly good craftsmen in Wanjia, and this jewelry is inseparable from profound skills. The black family happens to have very good technology, and with my design drawings, it will definitely be able to occupy the high-end market and not rob the business of Wanjiayinlou. Wanjia Yinlou is mainly for the business of the common people, and our Heijia Yinlou is for the business of noblewomen. Isn't that good? ”

Bai nodded.

Chen Wenhui said again: "Actually, this snowflake candy was made by the Hei family, which was the refining recipe I came up with, so this snowflake candy business originally had my shares." I also want to send some of the disciples of the Alchemy Hall to the Tai Hospital to study, and some to Sister Mingzhu's pharmacy, so that our pill business will be better." Of course, I also have to give a part to the father to promote the new species. Those disciples who are studying in Tai Hospital can also come to our hospital and Yangshantang to help in their spare time, which can solve the shortage of doctors on the one hand, and gain practical experience on the other hand. In addition to these, there is also a new instrument store that is to partner with the black family. In this new appliance shop, there are a lot of new utensils made by the black family, and there are also some new utensils made by the method I gave, such as multi-functional furniture, such as my bed where I lie down and wash my hair, as well as sharp scissors, and there are many paring knives that can be peeled lightly, and I will know it when I show it to my mother. ”

Bai laughed: "Okay, you are the best at making money, I'll just wait to help you count the money." ”

Wen Hui didn't follow: "Mother, you laugh at me again." ”
