Chapter 1: High Profile

In the blink of an eye, Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi have been in the Northwest Tiebi Pass for two months. When I left the capital, it was still an early summer scene, but now in Tiebi Pass, it has entered a bleak autumn.

The autumn of Tiebiguan came particularly early, at this time, but in September, the capital, should already be a scene of maple leaves red, and Jiangnan should still be the autumn tiger raging, Nanyang is a sweaty summer hot weather, but, in the northwest, it is already to put on a cotton jacket, as far as the eye can see, the grassland is already a withered yellow scene.

Chen Wenhui and they walked on the road for more than two months, this is because Chen Wenhui and his wife carried a heavy burden along the way, and they were originally walking slowly, but Chen Wenhui and they were still handing over their parents and officials from the capital to Tiebi Pass in the northwest along the way.

Basically, every prefecture and county has to stop at one stop, and every time you stop, you have to make friends with local officials. Although it was the time of the state funeral, you could not feast and drink, but you also had to eat a hot meal.

Chen Wenhui and his wife are now the hottest magnates in Dachu, not to mention the officials in these remote places, even the officials in the capital are also desperately stammering. Chen Wenhui and his wife were in the county lord's mansion in the capital, and there was a lot of traffic every day, and many officials handed over posts, gave gifts, and got on the pole, but Chen Wenhui and his wife all blocked the car and didn't even see each other.

Since Zhao Chongyi's position as the Duke of the Northwest came down, it is rare for him to be crowned a duke at such a young age, and most of the officials in the court have seen that the husband and wife have not seen guests since the Holy Decree came down. speculated that the husband and wife were absolutely loyal to the emperor, and now they are extremely popular ministers, they must be arrogant and be a lonely minister, or they will arouse the suspicion of all parties.

However, to everyone's surprise, the couple was not like that when they left the capital. Begin to stop and stop, and hand over local officials attentively. Originally, the imperial court had a decree. Frontier officials were not allowed to make friends with these local magistrates.

But Chen Wenhui and his wife did this. Such a high profile really made all the courtiers fall through their glasses. However, then, the emperor's approach made everyone fall through the glasses. The imperial history played the impeachment of Chen Wenhui and his wife. Previously. When the emperor died. There is a royal history to impeach Chen Wenhui and his wife for staying in Jiangnan. Don't come back to mourn. However, the emperor stayed in the middle and did not send it. This has already made the courtiers see the emperor's trust and favor for Chen Wenhui and his wife.

Now, Yu Shi has once again impeached Chen Wenhui and his wife. This time, the emperor no longer stayed in the middle of the country, but directly punished the crime of the imperial history. found out the relationship between this imperial history and the Wang family of the bank and the Li family of the academy, punished this imperial history, and sent him to prison. This time, the officials in the capital all saw that the feelings, Chen Wenhui and his wife had made friends all the way to the past because they were instructed by the emperor. Although the emperor said to the outside world that this imperial history was arrested because of corruption and bribery. But who can't read it? The culpability of that imperial history must have been in the hands of the emperor for a long time.

It's just that I've been holding back and not coming out. However, as soon as this official stopped the emperor's words, the emperor immediately revealed the materials in his hand and justifiably arrested the person. This imperial history angered the emperor this time, wasn't it because of the impeachment of Chen Wenhui and his wife?

Also, the emperor really has unlimited trust in Chen Wenhui and his wife, and whoever dares to attack Chen Wenhui and his wife will be unlucky.

This incident has two implications. On the one hand, everyone is at risk. It can be seen that the emperor was a caring person when he was the crown prince, or even when he was the prince, collecting all kinds of information, maybe in the hands of the emperor, there was the privacy of every official, but the emperor did not have a seizure. If you are not careful, you may also follow in the footsteps of this imperial history.

On the other hand, it proves that the holy family of Chen Wenhui and his wife is really good. In this case, Chen Wenhui and his wife can't be brought down, so they naturally want to make friends. Therefore, those local officials, when they saw that Chen Wenhui and his wife took the initiative to make friends, were naturally willing to climb up the pole.

For more than two months along the way, Chen Wenhui and his wife got to know many magistrates, and the couple came forward to get acquainted with the magistrates. Their men are not idle. Under Zhao Chongyi, there is a secret department, which specializes in listening to the situation and privacy of local officials, including all kinds of intelligence in this place.

Chen Wenhui's subordinates made friends with businessmen in each place, and paid attention to local specialties, crops, economy, and population.

It was so slow, and by the time I got to the Iron Wall Pass, it was already more than two months later. When he arrived at Tiebi Pass, Chen Wenhui couldn't help but sigh, it was really a heroic city, and the city wall was even taller than the city wall of the capital. And scarred. This iron wall pass has always been the first line of defense to block the barbarian attack, and it is naturally baptized by war.

After entering Tiebi Pass, I found that the population inside was not much, but it was equivalent to the amount of a county town in the south of the Yangtze River. So, everybody's homes are huge. Chen Wenhui's subordinates had already agreed to the requirements of the emperor at that time, or the crown prince, before the holy decree was issued, and were ready to come to the northwest, that is, when Chen Wenhui and his wife had just gotten married, and before they went to Jiangnan, they took the designer and the silver ticket to Tiebi Pass, spent a lot of money, bought a large area next to the yamen, and began to build a new county lord's mansion. It's been almost a year since construction began.

In fact, Chen Wenhui and his wife did not plan to stay in the northwest for a lifetime, but only for ten years. Just live in the city lord's mansion. However, who is Chen Wenhui? The richest person in Da Chu is so rich, why should he grieve himself to live in the old and dilapidated official office.

Therefore, Chen Wenhui sent someone to Tiebiguan to buy land and build a house early. Even in this bitter cold place, Chen Wenhui has to live comfortably. After all, what is so much money for? Chen Wenhui has believed since his previous life that money is for spending. Therefore, Chen Wenhui is not stingy at all for this.

By the time the large army of Chen Wenhui and his wife slowly shook for more than two months before they arrived at Tiebi Pass, a beautiful and huge county lord's mansion next to the official office had already been built. At least the main courtyard is already inhabitable. This main courtyard has been under construction since last year. Now not only is it basically built, but it has been left for a few months, and there is no smell at all.

Therefore, Chen Wenhui didn't live in the official office for a day, and directly took people to live in his mansion. Chen Wenhui's subordinates are very capable, and in their own mansion, Shui Lian and others quickly arranged the main courtyard, Chen Wenhui lived a luxurious life even in this bitter cold place.

It's just that the climate in Tiebiguan is too bad, it's only September, and it's already so cold, full of desolate scenery.

Chen Wenhui stood in front of the window and looked at the already bare trees in the yard, sighed, the water lotus was very considerate to put a cloud shoulder on Chen Wenhui, and stuffed a hand stove over.

Chen Wenhui asked, "Is the second master back?" ”

Shuilian said: "I just heard that we will have to stay for a while before coming back, do we have to wait for the second master to come back before starting the meal?" ”

Chen Wenhui said with a smile: "Yes, I, the deputy city lord, have not been able to get up in the past few days because of the bad weather and my body, so I have not gone to the yamen to ask about things, and I have handed everything over to the second master, so that he is so tired, and if he doesn't wait for him to eat, isn't it too unrighteous?" ”

Shuilian smiled and said, "Okay, I'll inform the kitchen and let them heat up the meal." ”

As soon as the words fell, a maid came in and told her that the second master had gone down to the yamen. Chen Wenhui was overjoyed, and hurriedly walked to the window, the door curtain had been opened, and there was a cold wind on his face, and it was Zhao Chongyi who entered the house. As soon as he entered the house, he asked, "Hui'er, how are you feeling today?" Is it better? Why are you standing at the door on such a cold day? ”

Before Chen Wenhui could speak, Shui Lian had already said, "Isn't our county lord distressed by the second master?" Originally, he was standing by the window, but when he heard that the second master was back, he hurriedly walked to the door to greet him. ”

Zhao Chongyi said distressedly: "What are you doing to greet me?" Carefully pounce on the cold wind. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "You just listen to Shuilian." Shuilian, you still don't ask someone to set the meal? also asked someone to fetch water and wait for the second master to freshen up. ”

Shui Lian hurriedly agreed, went out, and Shui Hanying, who was waiting in the ear room on the side, came in with water.

Zhao Chongyi freshened up, changed into homely clothes, sat on the hot kang, and the meal was already on the table. These cooks were all brought by Chen Wenhui from the capital, so the craftsmanship is very good, and the color and flavor are complete. There are only six dishes and two soups. However, they are all boutiques.

Chen Wenhui has never been economical in eating, and has always used the best ingredients and the best cooking. However, she did not use more than 100 dishes per meal like those powerful people of this era, which was a pure waste. How can it be finished eating, each dish is already full after tasting a bite, so Chen Wenhui stipulates that each breakfast is four side dishes, two kinds of dim sum, and the same staple food. At noon and in the evening, there are six dishes and two soups, which are small and delicate.

The husband and wife sat on the hot kang to eat affectionately. Naturally, there are maids waiting on the side. The two of them are not restrained in etiquette in this place, and they generally let Shui Lian and Shui Han wait, and the people who are waiting for Shui Hong also choose two to sit at the same table while serving.

Chen Wenhui always feels that the more people, the better the appetite.

When they eat, they don't pay attention to food and don't talk like ordinary big families, but chat while eating. Today, it is the water lotus and the water cold on duty. Chen Wenhui and his wife sat opposite each other, Shui Han and Shui Lian played horizontally, while eating by themselves, they had to pay attention to Chen Wenhui and his wife, serving tea for a while, picking vegetables for a while, making soup for a while, and filling rice for a while. However, when the four of them ate, it was more fragrant, and Chen Wenhui also ate a lot unconsciously. (To be continued......)
