Zhao Chongli nodded. This is not the time when they were fighting, at that time the power was in hand, and it was money casually, and now that the old man has retired, he has only gained a foothold in the capital, but fortunately, the second brother does not have to spend the family's money, and he has not even withdrawn the monthly money every month. Sometimes I add things to my home, but what about others? The little sister is a good moneymaker, she makes jewelry today, cuts clothes tomorrow, and will attend a banquet the day after tomorrow, which is really not a fuel-efficient lamp. It's better to be the third brother, and now he follows his father, and when he lives on the farm, he spends more money. It's a lot of money. In addition to these, there is also the one that is dedicated to the mother of the palace, Concubine Zhao De.

Thinking of this, Zhao Chongli felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Before, her mother kept saying that Concubine Zhao Defei was the one who supported the Zhao family, but in fact, Concubine Zhao Defei was able to become a concubine, all of which was earned by their father and son killing enemies on the front line. Also, since Concubine Zhao De entered the palace, she has always been worshiped at home. She spends a lot of money. In the past, her mother was in charge of the house, so naturally everything was offered to her best. However, later, after his wife Han was in charge, she found that there was a huge expenditure in the family every month, and after asking, she learned that it was the monthly purchase expenses for Concubine Zhao De in the palace, which was called huge, accounting for more than half of the entire family expenditure. What a bottomless pit. There was no way, so the Han family could only grit his teeth and continue to support, and he had already complained bitterly.

Now, he has to pay to build a Taoist temple for her. Can the entire Taoist temple be built with a small amount of money? It is impossible to spend 400,000 taels of silver like Chen Wenhui, but 10,000 taels of silver is still needed. That's not a small number either. Zhao Chongli couldn't help but have a headache when he thought of this.

When Han saw her husband's expression, she understood what was going on and said, "Originally." Our family has enough of these major events. First the second brother got married, and then the younger sister got married. There is also the third brother who is also going to get married. Which of these doesn't need fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver? Our family's income is not much now, and the expenses are still the same as before, and they can't support it for a long time. Fortunately, although Chongyi's dowry cost us 50,000 taels of silver to prepare, there is no need to divide his family in the future, which saves a lot of money, and he has never withdrawn the monthly money in the house, but he has asked the little servant to withdraw it on a monthly basis and put it back in the house. Henceforth. After he got married. The whole family lived in the county lord's mansion, and we saved a lot of money at once. Not to mention, the dowry for Chongyi's marriage, the rest of it was from his father's private room. and fifty or sixty thousand pieces of silver. ”

Zhao Chongli nodded.

Han continued: "If Concubine De's affairs can be handled well. She came out of the palace. Our family has lost a lot of money. Although she will have to provide for us in the future. But this is in the Taoist temple, the cost is much less, than in the palace. It's not even a fraction of a fraction. In the future, our family's expenses will be less than that in the palace, and we will be able to save a lot of money. As soon as the second brother and second sister are saved here, our life will be better. ”

Zhao Chongli sighed and said: "Saving is a good thing, but it is better to open source." Even though our younger siblings are married, what about our children? This is all to be prepared in advance. ”

Han frowned and said, "Our family's money was in charge of my mother's money in the past, and most of them bought fields and shops, and did not do business. How much money can you make a year just by rent? So we're having a hard time right now. It's better to go to Xiao Chen's house to find Wen Hui for medicine, and tell her that she is the famous God of Wealth under the throne of the Dragon Girl, maybe she can have a way to help us. Get a business or something. After all, she will also be a part of the Zhao family in the future. Although their husband and wife will live in the county lord's mansion in the future, they are all members of our Zhao family, our branch is not good, can they be okay in the second room? ”

Zhao Chongli smiled and said, "Madame's words are very reasonable. Okay, you can go tomorrow. ”

Han smiled slightly.

Zhao Chongli said with a hippie smile: "How lucky I am to marry a virtuous lady." ”

Han blushed.

The next day, Han sat in the car refreshed, with gifts, and came to Xiao Chen's house, Chen Wenhui had already received the post, and was waiting for her at home early.

Knowing that the Han family had arrived at the door, Chen Wenhui didn't dare to take it, so she hurriedly went to the door to greet her, after all, she was the future sister-in-law, and she couldn't be careless. Besides, Han's relationship with her has always been very good.

Chen Wenhui and Han exchanged pleasantries at the second gate for a while, and Chen Wenhui said: "It's rare that you come over today, let's not talk in the main room, my mother went to the palace, let's go directly to our garden." Today's weather is warm, I have asked someone to make tea, and we drink tea while enjoying the flowers. ”

Han Shi was very happy and said, "Then I am really blessed today." I'm busy all day long, and it's rare to have a spare time with you, thank you in advance. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled, sat in a sedan chair with Han, and went directly to the backyard.

When they arrived at the place, Chen Wenhui and Han joined hands and walked to the pavilion with flowers and willows. Tea sets are already set up there. After waiting for the rockery and sitting in the pavilion, Han found that all the flowers were planted around the rockery. At this time, it is the scene of late spring and early summer, and the flowers are very lively.

Han Shi took a look at Wen Hui and saw that she was wearing a green armor, revealing the moon-white Ayako sleeves inside, and the cuffs were full of embroidery with three thumb-wide embroidery. Below is a Hunan skirt with a hundred butterflies wearing flowers, with a double bun on her head, and no special jewelry, just a few long hairpins, a small step on her forehead, and a tassel hanging down. It looks very refreshing and cute.

Han himself was wearing a formal silver-red sleeved robe, with gold and silver on his head, which was very grand, and Han himself laughed and said: "It's still my sister who is clean here, but I look unbearable when I come here." ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said: "Where am I such an elegant person, I am a person who rolls in the red dust, a layman who thinks about making money every day, I am the vulgar and unbearable." ”

When Han Shi heard this, he was in the middle of it, and hurriedly said some words, which was nothing more than complaining, and after returning to the capital, he took over the affairs of the Guogong Mansion, only to find that the family expenses were huge, especially to deal with the palace, it was simply a bottomless pit. Although it has not affected life now, it will definitely lead to huge sequelae in the future. Although she saves in many ways, it is better to open source than to throttle, and it would be much better if she could have a business to do.

Chen Wenhui thought about it and said: "This business is everywhere, the key is how to do it." Now, there's a good idea. Some time ago, the shopkeeper of the black family told me that he wanted to do business in the northwest. However, the Northwest is not something that anyone can meddle in. The big business is what the Ma family is doing. But the Ma family can't monopolize everything. There are also a lot of small businesses to do. For example, specialties from the Northwest and the like. If your family wants to do it, it's the best, who in Dachu can have your family's power in the northwest? ”

Han Shi was very happy when he heard this, asked a lot, thought about it carefully, and said, "Why don't you think our family and the Hei family cooperate?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "There is no problem with this, one day when you have time, call the loyal and righteous prince to go and talk to the shopkeeper of the black family." I'm in for a treat. ”

Han did not shirk it, and directly made an appointment with Chen Wenhui, and Chen Wenhui also let go of one thing in her heart. The affairs of the northwest have finally been explained to the Hei family. I can also help the Zhao family by the way. After all, this is the family that he will live in the future, and it is not good to watch him decline.

Han Shi talked to Chen Wenhui about the medicine he had said before. Chen Wenhui understands this, last night, after Chen Yuanheng and his wife came back, they had already told her.

She asked for this medicine from the Black Family, and it was already packed in a box. Chen Wenhui said to Han: "Sister Han, you have to take this well, there is still the usage of this medicine in the clip, you must use it according to that method, or it will not be dangerous to the body." ”

Han didn't dare to be careless, and deliberately took a look at this box, it was an inconspicuous small black wooden box the size of a palm, and there was no pattern on it, and he opened the box and took a look, there were three thumb-sized pills in it, and there was an instruction manual. Han read the explanation carefully, and asked Wen Hui for advice. Wen Hui patiently explained to her. Han didn't give it to the maid to hold, but kept it close to him. Only then did he say to Chen Wenhui: "Thank you sister." ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "I didn't expect your family's situation to be so complicated. Why is Concubine De the first of the four concubines now, why do you still rely on the worship of the family? When our family Chen Guifei and Chen Shufei entered the palace, the cost was larger, and later, the emperor continued to give rewards, where did they use the family supply? I heard that Concubine De is still very favored? ”

Speaking of this, the Han family has to complain more in her heart, anyway, Chen Wenhui is not an outsider, and she will also be a member of the Zhao family in the future, she couldn't help but say: "Concubine De's expenses in the palace are big, and the emperor's reward is not enough for her expenses." She herself is an expert in spending money, and in order to gain a foothold in the palace, she has more rewards, and there are a lot of people around her, otherwise, where can she be favored? Bitterness is bitterness for our family. However, it also makes people angry to say, she threw a lot of money in the palace, but there are really few people in the palace who are good to her. Because she is arrogant, it is easy to reward people with money, and she has dealt with a few people, and then she turned around and offended people again, do you say that this money is unjustly spent? ”

Chen Wenhui thought about the number of times she had contact with Concubine Zhao De, and it was really like this. couldn't help laughing, these sisters of Zhao Chongyi are all wonderful. But after thinking about it, it's no wonder, this is all raised by Zhao Chongyi's wonderful mother-in-law, can it not be wonderful? (To be continued......)
