Unconsciously, my husband and wife are actually going to create a family, what a big thing.

Chen Yuanheng said: "Of course, the new family, in addition to having territory, population, army, and wealth, must also have internal assistance in the court and a good reputation among the people of Great Chu. There must also be a family that can help. First of all, it is said that this can help the family. As you know, families have always intermarried with each other. ”

"Let's take our family as an example, I belong to the Chen family, and your mother is from the Bai family. My mother-in-law is from the Li family. My eldest brother married the daughter of the Wang family, and my second brother married the daughter of the Li family. You see, it's our family, it's the four great families. However, what is the use of such intermarriages? Now that the four great families are in harmony, if one of them is in trouble, the other families will definitely stand by and watch. ”

"However, our Xiao Chen family is different from your Zhao family. Our Xiao Chen family is a branch of the Chen family, and it can be said that we are a family with the Chen family. If our Xiao Chen family has something, or it is the resolution of our Xiao Chen family, the Chen family will definitely support it and give help. And your Zhao family, needless to say, you two are my daughters and sons-in-law, you have something, or something you support, will we support it? ”

"In other words, will you not help or support the affairs of our Xiao Chen family? Therefore, the Chen family, the Zhao family, and the Xiao Chen family are actually one family, advancing and retreating together, which is not found in the four major families. Except for the three of us. In the future, if Nanjiang is attacked, according to the agreement between the emperor and Mu Li Gongzi, Mu Li Gongzi will relocate the entire Bai tribe's strength to Nanyang. will also establish their own territory. Is he your brother-in-law, not your ally? The three of us have resolutions, and if there are difficulties, he won't support it and won't help? ”

"There is another power in Nanyang, which is Princess Lichuan of Siam City. That's Wen Hui's cousin, my niece, and it was with the support of Wen Hui and us that she was able to gain a foothold in Nanyang. Her Xu family will also be a big family in the future. This Xu family will also be our ally in the future. You said. We have gathered so many powers. Can it be compared to the other four great families? ”

"Let's talk about the support of the court. Needless to say, the power of the Chen family will definitely support the Xiao Chen family, the Zhao family, and the Xu family. These are all branches from the Chen family. In addition to the Chen family's power in the imperial court. The Zhao family is loyal and righteous. Forces in the military. Protégés, colleagues, subordinates. There are too many of them, but this power is not big? Not to mention the in-laws of a scholar family like the Han family, the maiden family of the Duchess of Zhongyi, Mrs. Han, the natural power is more extensive. ”

"There are also those subsidiary families that I cultivated before, such as the Yan family, it is better to say the Huang family, such as your sister-in-law's maiden family, the Wan family, your second sister-in-law's maiden family, the Mei family, these forces are not small when they are gathered."

"Except for the power of these imperial courts. Let's talk about our reputation among the people. It can be said that among the people, our Xiao Chen family, your family of two, is already very prestigious. ”

"How much do we invest in philanthropy each year? Yangzendo, Hospital, Maternity Hospital, School, which one does not have our participation? Will the people forget? Are these things that can be compared to those who are not benevolent to the rich? ”

"So, you say, you're not a family yet? The daughters of your Zhao family, I am afraid that they are more sought-after than the daughters of the Bai family. ”

"In the future, the concubine of the Zhao family will sit in the position of queen, and the backers behind her will definitely be more stable than the Wang family, the Bai family, and the Li family. You say, why can't she be a queen? ”

Zhao Chongyi and Chen Wenhui were dumbfounded. Come to think of it, what Chen Yuanheng said is very reasonable.

In the future, the Zhao family is really stronger than the Bai family.

Chen Wenhui thought for a while and said, "So, my father and mother are in favor of the Zhao family's concubine becoming the eldest prince's concubine?" ”

Bai Shi and Chen Yuanheng nodded slowly.

Chen Wenhui was silent.

Chen Yuanheng said: "If we all go to Nanyang, the queen will not talk about it, and we will have a stable position." Even if the queen mother has a mistake, with the friendship between Chongyi and the emperor, our position is also stable. But what about the new king in the future? Xinjun has nothing to do with us. If we can make the daughter of the Zhao family the next queen, then at least the next dynasty, and even the next emperor, will have something to do with us, then we will still be stable. With the development of the Three Dynasties, I think that our overseas territories can really prosper and not be afraid of anyone. ”

Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi glanced at each other and did not say anything.

In the middle of the ring, Zhao Chongyi said: "Since this is the case, then I will go to a secret letter to the eldest brother and sister-in-law and ask their opinions." If they are really willing to let their daughter enter the palace, then I can only fully support this path. ”

Chen Yuanheng smiled slightly, took out a letter from his arms and said, "When you came, your eldest brother had already written a letter. Look. ”

Zhao Chongyi was taken aback, hurriedly took the letter, and read it, and sure enough, it was written by his eldest brother Zhao Chongli.

In the letter, after Zhao Chongli greeted him, he said that he wanted to send his daughter into the palace. I want my daughter to become the concubine of the eldest prince. I also hope that my brother and daughter-in-law can support her.

After Zhao Chongyi read it, he was silent and handed the letter to Chen Wenhui to read.

After Chen Wenhui finished reading it, she frowned.

Bai Shi looked at the expressions of the two people, sighed and said, "Since things are already like this, Miss Zhao's entry into the palace is something that is beneficial to herself, her parents, and both of us, so let's just support them." We all have our own aspirations, and we are willing to live happily in this way, but what they are after is obviously something else. It's better to respect them. ”

Zhao Chongyi thought for a while and said, "Since it is their choice, we naturally support it." ”

Chen Yuanheng and Bai Shi were overjoyed and said: "This matter, when we came, in private, the queen also asked us to ask the opinions of the two of you. If you agree, she will definitely support Miss Zhao in choosing the eldest prince's concubine. ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "Thank you, Queen Mother." Hui'er, you will write a letter to the queen mother later, thank the queen mother, and ask her to take care of our eldest girl more. I asked my mother-in-law to bring this letter back. ”

Bai nodded.

Zhao Chongyi is a very decisive person, after all, he is a soldier, once he makes up his mind, he will go all out.

He said, "I will also repair a book and give it to Jingyuan." Ask him to say to the emperor and support my niece's selection. I could have said it to the emperor myself, but it's better to say it to Jingyuan, so I'd better avoid suspicion. When the time comes, please ask my father-in-law to help me bring this letter back. ”

Chen Yuanheng nodded with satisfaction.

Chen Wenhui thought for a while and said: "There are still a lot of good things in my princess's mansion in the capital, I will go back and ask people to draw up a list and send some good things to my eldest niece, which can't be compared to other girls from other families." Also, the dowry in the future should be the best. At least it can't be less than when the lobby sister married the emperor. ”

Bai said: "Back then, when the queen mother married the emperor, our family took out 20,000 taels of silver, and the clan took out 100,000 taels of silver. Plus part of what your grandfather took out. There were more than a hundred thousand taels of silver. It's ten miles of red makeup. However, at that time, the emperor was not the emperor, although he was also a prince, but he was just a prince with a low status and no one to see, and the title of knight was not a prince, but only a county king. ”

"The eldest prince is the eldest prince, the future prince, the future emperor, if it is only a dowry of 100,000 taels of silver, I am afraid it will be simple. In the future, I will be laughed at by those side concubines and the like. ”

Zhao Chongyi thought for a while and said, "I know my eldest brother's family background. He attaches so much importance to this matter, my sister-in-law Han is good at managing family finances, and she is also an understanding person, so she should buy a dowry of more than 100,000 taels of silver for her niece. My father is a person who understands the overall situation, he will definitely not sit idly by, I estimate, he will also give a dowry of about 100,000 taels of silver to his eldest niece. ”

Chen Wenhui thought for a while and said, "Then we will also give 100,000 taels of silver to the eldest niece, and I will give her some silk, treasures and other things." What do you think? ”

Zhao Chongyi thought about it and said: "There is a dowry of three or four hundred thousand taels of silver, how do the father-in-law and mother-in-law look?" ”

Bai smiled and said, "It's enough." If the Zhao family can produce so much dowry, this alone will compare the Bai family's daughters. How could the daughter of the Bai family come up with so much money? The Bai family thinks it is a dowry of more than 100,000 taels of silver. Even if you have high hopes, it will only be 200,000 taels of silver. ”

Chen Wenhui frowned and said, "The Bai family is an old family after all. After my mother went back, I was more careful, and if the Bai family had more money, she would directly give more to my sister-in-law for me. Anyway, it has to be twice as much as the Bai family. It can't be more than 120,000, it's not interesting, and if you want to win, you have to win overwhelmingly. ”

Bai is right to think about it.

Zhao Chongyi was a little embarrassed. How can you ask your father-in-law and mother-in-law to pay? After all, it is the daughter of the Zhao family.

Chen Wenhui looked at Zhao Chongyi's expression, and then understood, and said, "Everything with money is easy to handle." I don't need my mother to come out. I have everything in my mansion in the capital. My mother just helped me take it out of the storeroom and give it to my sister-in-law. As for the silver, it is easier to do. I Dachu Bank, Beijing Branch, how much money is not? Let the Beijing branch give it first, and at the end of the year, when the Beijing branch pays the profits, just give less. ”

Now Zhao Chongyi was happy.

Bai also understood it, and smiled, it is also a good thing that this son-in-law wants to save face so much. She said, "Do what you say." ”

"That's not enough. Mother, since we have decided, I will write a letter to my sister-in-law, and ask my mother to bring the child with me and teach her carefully. Although the sister-in-law is a virtuous duchess, she still doesn't understand much about the palace fight. Let's ask my mother to teach me herself. In the days to come, the eldest niece was naïve and was calculated by the daughters of those families. ”

When Zhao Chongyi heard it, it made sense, and he hurriedly gave his mother-in-law a big gift. (To be continued......)
