The next day, according to Bai's arrangement, Chen Wenhui and Mingzhu took the master of the Hei family and went to the hot spring col in the suburbs by car.

In the evening, Bai told Chen Yuanheng about Chen Wenhui's idea. Chen Yuanheng thought about it, weighed the pros and cons, and said: "That is, Hui'er's brain is bright, and she can come up with such a good method." In fact, the reason why our family can stand firm now is that we have money. Second, the queen mother is in the palace to rely on us. Third, we helped the prince to win the heir, and we had the merit of following the dragon. Fourth, we have Qinghe Restaurant and Cuijin Building as spies, who can get information from all over the world. However, the two places where the information is obtained are the information of the common people, and it is very difficult for the aristocracy, or to influence the aristocracy. ”

Bai nodded.

Chen Yuanheng continued: "But if this Taoist temple of Wen Hui can be successfully opened, it will definitely become an important place for the nobles of the capital to gather. We who are the most masters will definitely get great benefits from it, at least we can get the most information, and we have the most extensive contacts. This is not only good for our Xiao Chen family, but also for the Chen family, the queen's mother, and the crown princess's mother. ”

Bai said: "Especially the two mothers, they were originally in their youth, but they will be lonely for the rest of their lives. Come to think of it, when they entered the palace, it was also the result of us fueling the flames in the back. If their end is too miserable, we can't bear it. Hey, I shudder to think about it. If we hadn't done anything at the beginning, it would have been our family Hui'er who entered the palace. At a young age, our family Hui'er faced the end of being buried and going to the royal temple to practice. Why don't you kill us? Even if you don't enter the palace, but enter the prince's east palace, it's not much better, you don't see, now the situation in the east palace is becoming more and more tense, and it has been divided into five factions, how fierce the struggle is. If Hui'er had gone in at the beginning, wouldn't we have to sit still and follow the process of fighting for the heir again? Where is it better to stand on the dry shore and watch the joke now? Now these are all making the two concubines and concubines suffer. We are really grateful, but we can't bear it. Now that's good. If only this Taoist temple could really be built. The two mothers have something to rely on, and they can still live in prosperity from now on, not lonely, and we can be regarded as worthy of them. ”

Chen Yuanheng smiled and said, "Isn't this your insistence, madam?" At the beginning, I saw that Wen Hui was precocious. According to the old concept of our family. I think this is the best candidate to enter the palace. Maybe it's the next big sister. In the future, our Chen family will definitely be able to carry forward because of Wen Hui. However, you are resolutely unwilling to let your daughter enter the palace, and we have many twists and turns to get to where we are today. Come to think of it, it's like you said. If Wen Hui marries the royal family, where can we have a stable life now? Madame, what a discerning eye. ”

Regarding her husband's sycophancy, Bai accepted it with a smile.

Chen Yuanheng continued: "Our Hui'er did not enter the palace, but the two nieces entered the palace instead of her, and they also became mothers. It is said that the two mothers have really made great contributions to us over the years. For example, Wen Hui entered the palace for us, for example, Wen Hui didn't want to go to the prince's harem back then, and it was also the pillow wind blown by the two mothers in front of the emperor. Later, Wen Hui went to Nanyang, Jun'er, and Lin'er got their respective territories, and the two mothers helped us speak. Also, in the past few years, our overseas territories have been constantly getting people from Dachu to pass, and if it wasn't for these two ladies to help us say good things, the imperial historians would have been reluctant for a long time. Also, some things about our family, such as my political opinions, can exclude dissidents, and our family's power in Huzhou can be preserved forever. I can arrange for those cronies of mine to be officials, these are all girls. If it weren't for the help of three Niangniang in the palace, would everything be so smooth? With such a great contribution from them, we should arrange their future lives. Let's just give the 400,000 taels of silver. ”

Bai said: "It is said that 400,000 taels of silver is not much, and we can take it out if we squeeze it." However, now that the construction of Nanyang Lin'er city is the time to spend money, and Jun'er's Wa Kingdom is constantly in turmoil, and the princes of those places are constantly harassing his territory, and this military suppression is indispensable. As soon as the army moved, it was spent like flowing silver. Now it is really difficult to get these 400,000 taels of silver. ”

Chen Yuanheng couldn't help laughing: "Why didn't Wen Hui spend money at home to build several cities, but the two brothers spent so much money?" ”

Bai Shi also smiled and said: "Their ability to manage finances is already worse than Wen Hui's, plus Wen Hui has a lot of profitable businesses in addition to these cities. Do you think Wen Hui's city has been putting money in it? It's just that she posted the money she made from doing business. Our Jun'er and Lin'er stickers are the money earned by our family's property. ”

Chen Yuanheng smiled bitterly and said: "Hui'er is so good, I don't know if her brothers have pressure in their hearts." ”

Bai Shi snorted and laughed and said, "How could it not be? Especially the daughters-in-law, they are very stressed. Although I, as a mother-in-law, never put pressure on them, they still feel a lot of pressure. Therefore, the two daughters-in-law are really busy managing affairs, and I feel distressed when I look at it. ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "But, look at our Hui'er, she still has a business and a city, and she hasn't been busy like this? ”

Bai said, "Can that be the same?" First, Hui'er's talent is indeed stronger. Second, Hui'er's people are very strong, not to mention anything else, you see her personal big girls, all of them are strong. Which one is not a good hand that can defend the cause of a party? Especially the Wan Shuhui she subdued, who was just an aunt of the assassin at the beginning, after being taken in by her, she has cultivated in many ways, and now she can fully help Hui'er control the affairs of Nanyang. This is what can make Hui'er have kung fu to play. ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Anyway, our daughter is excellent. By the way, we all think that if we don't have this money to take it out, can Hui'er take it out? ”

Bai said: "I have been busy these days, and I haven't had time to tell the master. That day, Hui'er and I went to Hei's shop. Before, all the money Hui'er earned was posted to urban construction. So, she doesn't have much money either. However, as soon as she went to the black family, it turned out that the black family still had a few years of dividends there, do you know how much it was? ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "In the past few years, the head office and branches of the Heijia store have made a lot of money, and the business is very good. There should be no less. ”

Bai said: "The business of the head office is the best, and the dividends of more than 100,000 taels every year are sent to Hui'er to go to Nanyang to build a city every year. As for the dividends of the branches, although they are less, they are not more branches, and they have not taken them for a few years, and they have accumulated 800,000 taels of silver. ”

Chen Yuanheng couldn't help but widen his eyes: "800,000 taels of silver." Why is Hui'er saving so much money? Could it be that she had already thought of spending it when she got married? There is really this possibility, our Hui'er has always been prepared for a rainy day, and it is normal to have already calculated the money. However, as parents, isn't it too useless for us to let our daughters prepare for their own marriage? ”

Bai smiled and said, "How come? We only have such a daughter, her two brothers got married, and we spent more than 100,000 taels of silver, and Wenlin spent the most, spending us 200,000 taels of silver. The only daughter we had married, and that could be less. Besides, have you forgotten the previous situation of our family? It's not Wen Hui's idea over the years, it's a restaurant, a garment factory, a farming, a spice factory, and a sea trade that she has made the most contribution. If we didn't have her, we could have amassed so much wealth? Can you become the richest person in Da Chu? Now that she is married, it is not an exaggeration to accompany her whole family. Her two older brothers will not complain. ”

Chen Yuanheng nodded and said, "Hui'er, has made the greatest contribution to our family. ”

Bai said: "My county lord's mansion was given to her. But the garden part, she said she would have to pay for it herself. I roughly calculated it today, if you want to be as beautiful as Wen Hui demands, it will cost at least 50,000 taels of silver. If she gives this money, she will give it. But her dowry is still good from us. Over the years, I have been preparing one after another, but I have gained a lot of good things. It can add up to four or five hundred thousand taels of silver. Although it is more than her two brothers, her two brothers are sensible people, and they all know that Wen Hui has made great contributions, so they will not have an opinion. Her two sisters-in-law are virtuous people and will not have an opinion. ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "I have seen many of the things you prepared for her. Four and a half hundred thousand taels of silver is worth it. The point is that there are a lot of things that money can't buy. It's kind of good. ”

Bai Shi smiled bitterly and said, "But, master, do you know? I have prepared so much for her, it is already better than the princess's dowry. But she also prepared a dowry for herself. Everything is prepared in Nanyang Qingchun City. There are several large ships of things, all of which are walking on the road, and they have not yet arrived in the capital. Fortunately, her county lord's mansion is large, otherwise, there would be no place to put these things alone. ”

Chen Yuanheng was stunned for a moment and said: "It seems that no one dares to say that Wen Hui's dowry will come later, but it is certain that there are no ancients before." That's all for these things, the key is that she still has three cities. ”

Bai said, "But isn't it? As a mother-in-law, it is not a happy thing to have such a rich, powerful, and capable daughter-in-law. ”

After speaking, I told Chen Yuanheng what Chen Wenhui said today to deal with Mrs. Zhao.

Chen Yuanheng was stunned for a moment, laughed and said, "This is my Hui'er, where is there anyone who doesn't fight back when he is beaten." I just said, don't be embarrassed or worried about Hui'er's affairs at her in-law's house, she will definitely be able to handle it. It seems that we don't have to worry about Hui'er, just worry about that Mrs. Zhao. Hahaha. ”

Bai smiled bitterly. Mrs. Zhao, you can only ask for more blessings. (To be continued......)
