Chapter 155: Removing obstacles in advance
Zhao Chongyi asked in disbelief: "What's the matter, why didn't you convince her but were persuaded by her?" ”
Chen Wenhui couldn't help but smile when she saw Zhao Chongyi like this: "You are really interested in making snow, why don't you see that you care so much about Zhao Yufei and Zhao Yuwen?" Although the two of them are not born of the same mother as you, aren't they the same father? Or is it because you hate Mrs. Zhao? ”
Chen Wenhui never called Mrs. Zhao's mother, or her mother-in-law, and Zhao Chongyi also let her do this: "Where can I be because of Mrs. Zhao?" Aren't the eldest brother and third brother also from Mrs. Zhao? Why do I have such a good relationship with them? It's really because Yuwen, Yufei, and the deceased Yuman were all brought out by Mrs. Zhao, proud and arrogant, don't say I don't like it, you ask, how many people like them in the capital? ”
Chen Wenhui thought about it for a while, otherwise, Yuman would not have been poisoned before entering the palace.
Chen Wenhui sat down for a while, took a sip of tea, and slowly told Zhao Chongyi about the conversation between her and Rong Xue.
After Zhao Chongyi heard this, he was not anxious, but his brows were deeply locked.
Chen Wenhui understood Zhao Chongyi's thoughts and said: "Lang Xue's love for Mu Li Gongzi is deep-rooted, and this is also fate. In that case, we might as well fulfill them. Have you forgotten that when we first got married, my parents and two older brothers were not very in favor of this marriage? ”
Zhao Chongyi smiled when he heard this: "They don't approve, it's not that they hate me, it's because we have Mrs. Zhao in our family, and I'm afraid that you will be angry with your mother-in-law in the future." ”
Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "Yes." Now the two of us don't hate Mu Li Gongzi, but also because Mu Li Gongzi's future is uncertain, and there is a queen who is eyeing Mu Li Gong there, listening to Mu Li Gongzi's meaning, it seems that he suspects that the queen is the murderer of his biological mother, so that they will still encounter great danger in the future. In addition, we are reluctant to marry far away. Rongxue has been wronged since she was a child and did not follow you. It's been just over a year since your brother and sister got to know each other. In the future, I will marry far away. Maybe you won't see each other for the rest of your life, so you can't bear it? ”
"But have you thought about it? Ordinary women are married. How many times can my mother's family see me? Even if you marry her to someone in the capital. We're going to the northwest now. After a few years, I came back from the northwest and had to go back to Nanyang. That's not and you won't see her for the rest of your life. Besides, we have also discussed before that we will find her a home in Nanyang. However, the people of Nanyang must be in front of us? Can we see each other? ”
Zhao Chongyi said: "What you said also makes sense. ”
Chen Wenhui said: "You also know that my family did not agree to the marriage of the two of us at the beginning, all because the situation in the Zhongyi Mansion was too complicated, but in the end I got married, was I affected by those?" My parents worked hard to give me a lot of work for my future. For example, I was given the status of a county lord to open a mansion on my own, and I built such a beautiful mansion for us to live in. In this way, we don't have to crowd in the Zhongyi Mansion, face those annoying relationships, and don't have to serve our mother-in-law. ”
"Also, my family has won for me the right to marry in our own mansion, didn't it also avoid Mrs. Zhao's persecution of us? Since my parents were able to do it for us. How can we not do it for snow? You also said that Rong Xue is your favorite sister, different from the life of the Zhao sisters since childhood, when Rong Xue was a child, she had a very difficult life, and you always wanted to compensate her and make her live better than the Zhao sisters. This is worthy of your mother who died early. In this case, let's put more effort into making her live as much as she wants, so as to make up for the suffering she suffered when she was a child. ”
Saying this, Zhao Chongyi's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Chen Wenhui said: "For example, we are not short of money, we can give more dowry to Langxue, and the woman has a rich dowry in her hands, not to mention in southern Xinjiang, even in the gate of the mansion in the capital." We've done that. Before, she gave Langxue those fields, shops, and business income enough for her to spend. This time, I bought all the 100,000 taels of silver you earned in the ring in southern Xinjiang, and I sold half of it in Jiangnan, and I have already recovered 200,000 taels of silver, which is four times the profit. I took 200,000 taels of silver and bought some Jiangnan specialties, brought them all back, and handed them over to her. She has her own shop, if she runs it well, how can she earn back more than 400,000 taels of silver. If you get it right, you can have an income of five or six hundred thousand taels of silver, and it is possible. ”
"We don't have that much, even if it's 400,000 taels of silver. With such a large amount of dowry, it is not enough to spend a few lifetimes in southern Xinjiang? Can you still be wronged? ”
Zhao Chongyi was a little surprised and said: "How can there be so much, with so much silver, but what is it enough." ”
Chen Wenhui continued: "In addition to these, we can also use the past few years to train some people for Langxue. For example, there are more powerful guards, and the snow can be raised anyway. Also, capable maids, capable grandmothers, now, the eight big maids around Rongxue are already very capable, but these people are all prepared for the future, Rongxue will marry into the mansion, and they don't know much about the situation in southern Xinjiang. It doesn't matter, we have time to train. Also, we can also give some well-trained female guards to make snow, and good maids to serve you close to make snow. Prepare a few more powerful doctors for Langxue, and I'm really not afraid to go anywhere. ”
Zhao Chongyi nodded and said, "You think very thoughtfully." ”
Chen Wenhui continued: "Besides, ten years later, the emperor will definitely attack southern Xinjiang. If all goes well, Mu Li Gongzi has the merit and will get the full power of the Bai clan with his younger brother. Didn't the emperor still promise to give the prince of Mu Li a place to occupy the city? Mu Li Gongzi has the strength of the Bai clan, and with the help of Da Chu, it should be no problem to conquer the city, even if he can't beat it all, it is still easy to conquer some coastal territory. It's a big deal, when the time comes, we will support him again, food, weapons, men and horses, and the generals who lead the army, which one do we lack? Isn't it easy to help your sister? ”
"When the time comes, they will get the territory of Zhancheng, and we will help them build a city, isn't it the same as living with us in Nanyang? This is also equivalent to marrying into Nanyang. However, at that time, Rongxue and Muli will be equivalent to leaving a legacy for future generations, aren't they also your nephews? ”
"Our forces in Nanyang can be more united. It's good for us, it's good for getting snow. ”
Zhao Chongyi thought for a while and said, "You are right. However, there are still several problems. One is, if they return to southern Xinjiang after getting married, what if the queen grinds and makes snow? The second is, if the war really starts, where is the snow, how can she be safe, she is a Da Chu person after all. ”
Chen Wenhui said: "I also thought of this. Don't we have the Zhao family firm? In this way, it means that we have people operating in Nanjiang all year round, and my Nanyang manpower is also there to trade and trade, so that as long as the war starts, it should be our Dachu who will do it first, and we can get the snow and her family to Nanyang or Yizhou Island by sea in advance, can there still be danger? Just like us. ”
Zhao Chongyi thought about it.
Chen Wenhui said: "The difficult thing is that in the past ten years, if you live in the queen's city, you may be bullied by the queen. This requires us to give Langxue an identity. If this identity can be obtained, the queen will not dare to touch her. She can open a mansion like me and live alone in her own mansion without having to go to the queen's palace to crowd in. ”
Zhao Chongyi's mind flashed and said, "You mean to tell the emperor about this?" ”
Chen Wenhui nodded.
Zhao Chongyi thought for a while and said: "If this is the case, the emperor must be very happy, maybe he will be a county lord or something like that, in this way, after Langxue marries, it will be equivalent to making a marriage." Rongxue represents Da Chu, and the queen really doesn't dare to treat Rongxue like an ordinary daughter-in-law. ”
Chen Wenhui smiled slightly and said, "You say so, but the emperor is actually not at ease with Master Muli?" ”
Zhao Chongyi was a little embarrassed and said: "I don't know what's wrong, maybe it's because of that position, I always feel that the emperor is very suspicious now." ”
Chen Wenhui said coldly: "The reason why he is not sitting in that position, he has always been such a person." You also know that many things in the court now, many of them are problems that have accumulated in the past, but some of them are because of him. For example, the Wang family of the bank, for example, the Li family of the academy you dealt with this time, aren't they all the mother's family of his inner palace concubines? ”
"At the beginning, he had no power and needed to use these two families to provide him with money and connections, how much he doted on Wang Yaozhen and Li Shuyu. However, now, he has ascended to this position, and there is no need for the two of them, so he decisively eliminated the Wang family and the Li family. He is not only suspicious, but also cold-hearted. It's just that you're his friend and you've always covered it up for him. Forget it, let's not mention him. You find an opportunity to reveal this matter to the emperor. Everything will be easy to do. Even if Mrs. Zhao wants to do something about the marriage of Lang Xue, the marriage given by the royal gift, she doesn't have the courage. ”
Thinking of Mrs. Zhao, who was full of malice towards them, Zhao Chongyi pursed his mouth.
Chen Wenhui said: "These are no longer problems, but there is one of the most important problems? ”
Zhao Chongyi couldn't help asking: "We have already thought about it in detail and thoughtfully, what other questions can there be?" (To be continued......)
