In the next few days, Chen Yuanheng and his wife were not idle, taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, they continued to visit relatives and friends, not only did they visit others, but they also came to visit them.

After walking around like this, Chen Wenhui realized that there were really many relatives in the Chen family. There are relatives of the Chen family, relatives of the Bai family, Chen Yuanheng's new colleagues, new subordinates, new bosses, and Chen Yuanheng's classmates, friends, and teachers. There is also Bai's handkerchief, the ladies who used to be together.

Chen Wenhui couldn't help complaining: "Father, mother, we are more tired than when we were in Huzhou, when we were in Huzhou, we were only walking around with Aunt Hu's family, and some of my father's bureaucratic subordinates, and my brother and I were even more relaxed when we were on Yizhou Island, only a few patriarchs of big families walked around, and the people of the Hei family walked around, and the rest were gone. The singing and dancing performances of these big families, when you first started watching them, they were okay, but after watching too much, they were the same, and it was hard for you to watch them for decades and still enjoy them. ”

Bai Shi laughed and said, "What is this, we still have few relatives." Compared with ordinary families, we have three kinds of relatives missing, one is your father's foreign family, and the other is my foreign family, this is because our biological mother died early, her status is low, and I don't know if there is a foreign family. Also, your sister-in-law's maiden family is also our serious relative, but your sister-in-law's maiden family is in Huzhou, because it is far away, so there is no need to move around, if your sister-in-law is also from the capital, our relatives are not more? ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it, her parents were all concubines, and her biological mother was a concubine, so naturally she had no foreign family. In fact, strictly speaking, their mother-in-law's family is their foreign family, but Chen Yuanheng and the Bai family have a general relationship with their mother-in-law, and those families don't recognize them very much. Therefore, it is also saved to move around.

Chen Wenhui said to the Bai family: "It's just that today I am really lazy, Mingzhu also came to the capital, except for the day I came to you to pay New Year's greetings, I haven't seen her." and Yaozhen also entered the capital with the four princes, I have never seen her, I want to invite her out for a party with Mingzhu. ”

Bai Shi frowned and said: "I used to be in the way in Huzhou, but now I am in the capital, you always play with the concubines of the four princes, but it is not very good, after all, she is a concubine for a day, and her status is low, you are the concubine of our Xiao Chen family, and you can't lower your status at will." Not to mention, Mingzhu is now the official's wife. There is a court seal, how can you interact with a concubine. Also, the four princes are now cautious and low-key, how can they let the concubines go out to play. What if the imperial history knows that he is a copy? ”

Chen Wenhui was a little dumbfounded: "A woman goes out to play, and the imperial history also has something to say?" ”

Bai laughed: "Hey, those imperial histories are like this, they can't be polite at every turn, and there is no way." ”

Chen Wenhui could only stop fighting. Seeing that his daughter's love was sluggish, Bai had to say gently: "Hui'er, you have been outside for the past few years. I'm used to being alone, and when I come back to the capital this time, it's me and your father, who think that you have grown up and have to take care of it, after all, girls are going to get married. Where can you run around outside as an adult? ”

Chen Wenhui bowed her head and was silent. Bai continued: "You have always done things according to your own preferences, and did not consider these rules and customs, but, you know? One day we are in this world, we are to follow these rituals one day. Especially women, if they don't follow the etiquette, it will be difficult to move an inch. After the festival, you are the county lord rewarded by the imperial court, and you are also a person with a seal, every movement and silence are under the supervision of the imperial history, if you do not agree with the ceremony, you will naturally be participated in by the imperial history. At that time, it was only because of the disagreement with the etiquette and the law, then it would be troublesome. You're so smart, you don't need me to say more, you must be able to understand, right? ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it, her parents really worried about her. In the past, she was young, far away from the capital, and was in Jiangnan, at that time, the biggest official in Jiangnan was her father, so she could naturally cover the sky with one hand and protect herself. But now in the capital, his father, a second-class official, is not small, but there are countless older than his officials. Therefore, it is better to follow the etiquette yourself.

Bai Shi saw that there was a look of understanding on his daughter's face, and said with joy in his heart: "You and Yaozhen are in love, naturally extraordinary, this mother is from the past, how can you not understand." I think I was also from a bad background at the beginning, and I had some handkerchiefs, which were also concubines, but now, most of these people are not doing well, some have become the concubines of the powerful, and some have even fallen into the dust. Will I be able to continue to associate with them? If they have any difficulties and need my help, I will definitely help if they remember the old relationship, but if there is nothing to do, it is better to stay away. After all, the difference in identity is not something that one or two of us can change. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Mother's words are very reasonable, although this is more ruthless and powerful, but the little arms can't twist the thighs, how can we fight with the law of etiquette and law?" ”

Bai Shi was overjoyed when he heard it and said, "Hui'er, it's good that you understand this truth." Actually, about Yaozhen, I think you also know it in your heart. She's not your friend anymore, she's changed since she entered the palace, you treat her sincerely, but what about her? Do you really want to treat you? Their Wang family has grown from an ordinary businessman in a small county town to a banking magnate and a wealthy family, and she has become the prince's concubine, what does this rely on? We don't take credit, they have come to this day because of their own efforts, but there are many people who work hard, how many of them are as successful as their family? However, you look at the table after their success. The Wang family got carried away and wanted to climb the high branches and become relatives of the palace. It's ridiculous, what can a concubine of the palace do? Is our family still the princess's maiden family? Although they have become relatives of the palace since they have been the same to us, they have already disobeyed your father's orders, and you know that they treat their in-laws, the Lan family, and they have fought for Lan Caiyu. In order to curb the Wang family's dominance in the bank, you even opened your own bank. Your father came forward and knocked them on the side again, and they became honest. At that time, Yaozhen was already focusing on her own interests, and she was in the palace against her wife and princess, and secretly gave the princess a son, relying on the support of you and Mingzhu, forming a great force in the palace, and openly confronting the side concubine and the princess, and after leaving her son, she was even more arrogant. Of course, that's what I know from eyeliner. From this point of view, her future life will not be smooth, if the four princes gain power in the future, she will be the concubine in the palace, then the Wang family will no longer be suppressed by our family, when the time comes, what will it develop into is not necessarily, she is so arrogant, she gave birth to a son, and may set off a big wave in the palace in the future, and she has no talent, what if it fails and affects you and Mingzhu? ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it, it seemed that she was too naïve. She said: "Mother, I used to think too simply, I just wanted us to help the four princes succeed, but although Concubine Zheng is my lobby sister, the big room and our three rooms have always been mediocre, and it is certain for her to take care of the Chen family in the future, but it is not necessary to take care of our family." Besides, she has always considered herself a concubine, and when the Chen family is unhappy, she doesn't even appear as the concubine of the Chen family, and she always appears as the niece of the Wang family in the social scene, can such a person expect her to shelter us? Although Concubine Bai is friendly with us at the moment, it is because the Bai family and us have exchanged interests. If she gains power, it must be towards the Bai family, what is the matter with our family? In this way, Yaozhen is cultivated by us, how can it be regarded as a member of our family, she gave birth to a son, if we support her son to succeed to the throne in the future, we will have shelter. Now it seems that she is not acting magnificently, I am afraid that the possibility of causing trouble in the future is greater than the possibility of success, how can it be successful? ”

Bai laughed: "Your father and I just guessed that you were going to do so. It's hard for you to think so far-reaching at such a young age. You can think of it, how could we not think of it? Don't worry, in the future, your father has already made a plan in his heart, don't worry, now, you are your famous daughter, when you are idle, help your mother take care of the family business, and find a good person to marry in the future, your father and I will naturally rest assured. In fact, wealth and glory are not important to us, the most important thing is that you and your brothers can be safe and happy. ”

This also makes sense, Bai and Chen Yuanheng are professional politicians, much better than people like Chen Wenhui who have only watched a few palace dramas, so professional things should be done by professionals, and unprofessional politicians like Chen Wenhui should rest if they think of a method full of loopholes.

However, Chen Wenhui's heart was warm when Bai's words of loving children were warm, and she couldn't help but fall into Bai's arms and coquettishly: "Mother, I know that my father and mother love us the most." I think the same way, as long as the family is safe and happy. ”

Bai smiled and hugged his daughter and said, "Silly boy, fortunately there is no one here, if I don't see you like this, I won't laugh at you." On weekdays, he is like a little adult, but in fact, he is still coquettish and stupid in his mother's arms. ”

Chen Wenhui was very thick-skinned and said: "What's the matter, I'm only ten years old, and it's normal to be coquettish in my mother's arms." ”

Bai smiled: "You, don't say you're ten years old, it's twenty or thirty, and you are all the mother's favorite child here." ”

Wen Hui's heart was warm.
