Chapter 148: Going Out
Chen Wenfeng knew that Liu Yan was going to Jiangnan for disaster relief, and he was happy and sad at the same time. Happily, the emperor finally began to give Liu Yan a chance to show his face, which was one step closer to his goal. The sad thing is that Liu Yan is going to go far now, and it seems that the time will be very long. In fact, since they got married at the end of last year, Chen Wenfeng and Liu Yan have always been very affectionate and together every day. This kind of sweet life is going to end because of Liu's performance, how can it not make Chen Wenfeng feel sad.
But Chen Wenfeng is not an ordinary woman, she was born in a big family, she has been taught to understand the general situation since she was a child, take care of the overall situation, and in addition, Chen Wenfeng knows the importance of this trip to Jiangnan for her, therefore, Chen Wenfeng can only turn her love for her husband into careful preparation, and she must be safe.
Chen Wenfeng was preparing clothes, shoes and socks, commonly used pills, and some daily odds and ends. At this time, Liu Yan entered the door. Chen Wenfeng hurriedly got up to greet him. Liu Yan still looked cold, but there was more joy between his eyebrows: "Princess, Brother Lin and your third uncle have agreed to go to Jiangnan with me this time." ”
Chen Wenfeng was overjoyed. This cousin originally Chen Wenfeng didn't pay much attention to it, after all, Chen Wenlin was the son of the third uncle Chen Yuanheng. Chen Yuanheng is a concubine, and he has always been unpopular in the house. Chen Wenfeng, as the daughter of the long house, is very strange to this third uncle, even the third aunt does not have much intersection, although they lived in the same house before, but the concubine is different, the long house and the third room are not on the same level, so Chen Wenfeng has never taken the third uncle's family to heart.
Who knew that later, the third uncle, who first went to Jiangnan to take up his post, brought gifts to the people in the house, and also gave her some new and beautiful yarns, which were not even available in the capital. Chen Wenfeng made many beautiful clothes with those beautiful yarns, adding luster to her beauty. Of course, these are only small benefits. As the daughter of a big family, Chen Wenfeng has received a lot of family support, so she has never been short of money, let alone silk and satin clothing and jewelry. If it's just general fabric. Chen Wenfeng won't pay attention to it at all. But these are different, these are all new goods that are not available in the capital, and these yarns make Chen Wenfeng have a good impression of Sanfang, and it is just a good impression.
Later, there was more and more news about the third uncle, and the third uncle made many political achievements in Jiangnan, especially the rescue of disaster victims, which made Chen Wenfeng curious about the third uncle, because this third uncle was too good compared to his father and second uncle. These undoubtedly increased Chen Wenfeng's good impression of this third uncle.
Afterward. She was given marriage to Liu Yan. The second uncle and his wife really made a fuss about her dowry. Reluctant to give her more. This didn't make her very angry, because it was expected, and the second uncle's family had always been at odds with them. But what saddened her was her biological father. didn't give her any private money. She has been in charge of the affairs of the house for many years, although the power is in the hands of the second aunt, and Chen Wenfeng is only assisting from the side, but with Chen Wenfeng's intelligence, she has long mastered the property input and expenditure of the Chen mansion. She knew that her father had money in his hands. However, the father would rather buy jewelry for the concubines, and would rather go to the Qinglou to spend a lot of money on the red-card girl than spend a penny as a dowry for his biological daughter.
On the contrary, the third uncle, who had always been ignored by her, actually took out 20,000 taels of silver as her dowry. And it wasn't to buy something, but to send someone to hand over 20,000 taels directly to her and let her buy it herself. This made Chen Wenfeng very moved.
Later, she got married. Although she married the prince, she was very envious of the officials in the capital. However, the children of the family don't attach importance to this, because the fourth prince is an unpopular prince, and he has no biological mother, but he is only named the king of the county, and everyone does not think that he is related to the throne, even if the Chen family publicly supports him, no one is optimistic about him.
Her own brothers in the family, including several brothers in the second room, have never been guests. Even her brother-in-law did not come to make friends with Liu Yan, which made Chen Wenfeng very complaining. But at this time, she found that Chen Wenlin, the cousin of the third room, had known Liu Yan for a long time, and they were still very good friends, and they supported Liu Yan wholeheartedly, which made Chen Wenfeng's good impression of this cousin suddenly surpassed that of his own brother-in-law.
Therefore, now Chen Wenfeng is also very happy to hear that Chen Wenlin can go with Liu Yan. Chen Wenfeng said: "That's a good dare, Brother Lin has been in Jiangnan for many years, and he is also smart, when he was in Jiangnan before, Brother Lin told me that he assisted my third uncle to rescue the victims, and for disaster relief, I'm afraid you people will count him as a little bit better." With him going, I'm more relieved. Besides, if you go this time, the third uncle will definitely support you. ”
Liu Yan nodded.
Chen Wenfeng said again: "Lord Wang, there are some things I haven't told you all along. ”
Liu Yan asked strangely, "What's the matter?" ”
Chen Wenfeng said: "The prince also knows that I am the daughter of the Chen family, and my mother is also the daughter of the Wang family, so I eat very well in the Chen family and the Wang family." My grandparents loved me since I was a child, and I entered the circle of noble ladies at an early age, so the offerings that my family gave me were the best. Even sometimes more than my big brother. ”
Liu Yan didn't say anything. He knows, looking at this period of time, Chen Wenfeng will know that he has single-handedly brought him into the upper class.
Chen Wenfeng continued: "However, I have not been welcomed in our long room. The main thing is that he is not treated well by his father. My father liked my mother very much, and even married my mother despite the opposition of everyone in the family. But later, my father empathized and began to marry aunts one after another, and he doted on them very much, they were very arrogant, and often bullied our mother and daughter. Big brother, they don't dare. The eldest brother is the eldest son, and he was personally led by his grandfather. But we are much more oppressed. So, later, after I became famous and had the support of my family, I secretly cultivated my own people. ”
Liu Yan still didn't say anything, Chen Wenfeng said: "At first, I just trained some maids and took care of things. These maids, the steward later used the money I gave me to buy Zhuangzi and give me business property, because I was familiar with people in the capital, so I got a lot of opportunities to make money, so that I had more money in my hands, and I began to raise a group of skilled Jianghu people. ”
Hearing this, Liu Yan was shocked. Stared at Chen Wenfeng with wide eyes. Chen Wenfeng didn't look at Liu Yan, but just said to himself: "Of course, I am a woman, and I don't raise many people, some of these people have been brought into the palace and served as a guard." Some are still on Zhuangzi. ”
Liu Yan said at this time: "There are many powerful people in the capital who raise people from the rivers and lakes, which the general court will not manage, but there are not many women who raise these." ”
Chen Wenfeng smiled bitterly and said: "Lord Wang, you only see ordinary eunuchs, you have not really interacted with the nobles of the family, in fact, the nobles of the nobles of the family have such secret guards. It's just a matter of quantity. After all, these noble girls are going to marry into various big families as grandmothers in the future, if they don't have their own manpower, how can they deal with some of the means of their in-laws, how can they stand on their feet. I can only be regarded as average, compared to the top ones, the quantity and quality are much worse. ”
Liu Yan's understanding of the nobles of the family has risen to a higher level, and he thinks to himself, no wonder his father hates the family so much, the family is really a threat to the rule.
Thinking of this, Liu Yan suddenly remembered something and said, "Is the person who saved me that time your private guard?" ”
Chen Wenfeng blushed and said, "Yes." That person is still the captain of the Chen Mansion's guard, and no one else knows that he is actually my man. He was specially planted in my house. You also know that I am in the Chen Mansion, and the situation is not particularly good. ”
Liu Yan nodded, and a ray of warmth suddenly appeared on his cold face and said, "Thank you, princess." ”
Chen Wenfeng's face turned even redder and said: "The prince said that this is a part, we are husband and wife, and I have always loved you." You know that. ”
When Liu Yan heard this, he couldn't help but move in his heart, and gently hugged Chen Wenfeng.
Chen Wenfeng felt the warmth of her husband's chest, and was a little intoxicated for a while, and after a while, she remembered that there was still something to say, so she restrained herself, sorted out her thoughts and said: "Lord Wang, when you go out of Beijing this time, I am afraid that you will encounter danger, and besides, you and Brother Lin are young and have little experience after all, so it is better to bring more people, so it is convenient for you to go on business." I have prepared two butlers for you, both of whom are experts and can do things for the prince. There are also twenty guards prepared, all of whom are from our house. Good skills. There are also twenty secret guards, these people do not follow your brigade, but only follow you secretly, these people are all from Zhuangzi, no one knows them. I used to walk through darts, I was familiar with all kinds of rivers and lakes, and I had trained in Zhuangzi for many years, and my skills were better than the guards. With these people, you can be safe. As for the people on the surface, they are all there to help you do things. Especially the two housekeepers, who have been to foreign offices for officials before, are more familiar with the cats in the officialdom, and they will definitely be able to help the prince. ”
Liu Yan was even more moved when he heard it, but he was not very good at expressing his feelings by nature, so he had to silently hug Chen Wenfeng. At this time, Chen Wenfeng only felt that every qiē was worth it, this person was the person she loved the most, she was very glad to be able to marry him, and she was also glad that she had prepared before, and now she can help him. For a time, the indoor warmth was charming.
Two days later, Liu Yan set off with his men and went to Jiangnan. The second prince went to the northwest, it was not a good place, when he went out of Beijing, the second prince was angry, and the third prince went to Zhili, Shandong, which is the closest place to the capital, and it is better than the place where Liu Yan went, so the third prince is the capital with a proud face.
ps:
The love between husband and wife is deep, but this relationship is too unreliable, and it is the most affectionate emperor's family.
