Chapter 356: Thunderbolt from the Clear
Qingshuang's marriage was finally decided on a sunny day, and the wedding procedure was begins. Bai Shi is also idle, these days she has seen the stitches, and kept instilling all kinds of prenatal education and child raising secrets to Wan Meizhen.
On this day, Wen Hui took the Bai family to watch the subtropical scenery of Yizhou Island, and suddenly a person ran over quickly, Wen Hui saw that it was the green sprouts who stayed at home, and hurriedly asked: "Green sprouts, what's wrong?" ”
Lu Ya hurriedly said: "The eldest young master is back, please ask the lady and the girl to hurry home." ”
Wen Hui chuckled in her heart, knowing that it was not good. This time the eldest brother has been away from home for too long. Originally, there were several small-scale wars in the Wa State, and some prisoners of war were produced, all of which were transported to Yizhou Island, and some were also transferred to the South Seas, but the Wa people were not stupid, and some people saw through the people of Da Chu who were stirring, so they began to mediate with several small families who started the war, and unanimously to the outside world, and began to form a coalition army violently, and marched towards the territory of Da Chu, and the garrison in the territory hurriedly reported that Shanghai City was close to it, so they sent some naval forces and land forces to resist the coalition forces. Now the war started, and Da Chu was at a disadvantage, but after just more than 20 days, the army of the Japanese State began to be unstable, after all, it was a rabble, and it was arrogant at the beginning, but after a long time, all kinds of contradictions broke out, and the two sides were in a tie stage.
At this moment, the Ma family and the Xu family can't spare time, so they can only send Wenjun to deal with this matter. Wen Jun brought with him the sharp weapons made by the Hei family, as well as some war machinery, such as trebuchets, etc., and also brought the Black Iron Army and some indigenous soldiers recruited by Wen Jun on Yizhou Island this year. Chen Wenjun did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but made it to the negotiating table with the representatives of the Japanese state.
These are all things that Wen Jun said in a letter to Wen Hui some time ago, Wen Hui calculated that her brother's negotiations should go more smoothly and she would be back soon. But. Until the mother came back, the elder brother did not come back, and now the mother has lived for so long, and the eldest brother has not returned. Chen Wenhui was beating a drum in her heart, what was it that stumbled her brother's feet? There shouldn't be anything going on there in the short term?
Now that the eldest brother has come back suddenly, he should rush here to see his mother immediately, how can he send someone to tell them to go back? It can be seen that the eldest brother is very busy, and being busy as soon as he comes back means that something happens again.
Wen Hui could think of it, and the smart Bai family also thought of it, Bai was very calm, and immediately urged Wen Hui to hurry up and prepare the car back. The place is very close to the house, and it will take a while. Chen Wenjun was not in the upper room, Wen Hui asked, it was in the study.
Wen Hui and Bai immediately went to the study. When she arrived at the study, she saw that Wen Jun was assigning things with a few powerful subordinates, and Wen Hui carefully looked at her brother's face. Ruddy, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, there should be no problem.
Bai Shi and Wen Hui found a place to sit down, and after Wen Jun finished explaining a few words, he hurried over to greet his mother. Bai hadn't seen his son for a long time, and he was very excited, but he was even more worried that something was going on, so he said, "Hurry up and don't salute." Tell me what happened first? ”
Wen Jun smiled slightly and said: "Something big happened, the prince rebelled, was discovered by the emperor, and was already convicted, handed over to the Zongren Mansion to take care of, and the queen was deposed." Many officials in the capital who have been implicated have been uprooted, many families have been exiled, and there are still those who have been beheaded, and now many positions are vacant. The government was unstable, the emperor urgently recruited the fourth prince Liu Yan into Beijing, and my father was also summoned to the capital. This is a letter sent by my father. ”
This is really a bolt from the blue, although she has been planning for a long time, Wen Hui has also thought about pulling the prince off the horse, but there will definitely be a fight to the death, but these are not what you have to do now, because Liu Yan's power is still too fragile. Unexpectedly, before Liu Yan acted, the prince was so stupid that he was looking for death.
Bai Shi steadied his mind for a moment, took the letter and read it. After a while, after reading it, I handed it to Wen Jun and Wen Hui to see. Wen Hui saw that his father's letter said that the holy decree asked him to enter Beijing to serve as the Si Nong Shilang of the Ministry of Official Industry of Erpinjing, and he wanted to enter Beijing immediately, and Huang Tingzhen, the prefect of Deqing, was appointed as the assassin of Huzhou. He couldn't wait for the Bai family to come back, so he had already asked the housekeeper to sort out everything and enter Beijing first. Let the Bai family come back early and meet in the capital. In addition, the letter said that Liu Yan's family had returned to the capital, and Liu Jingyuan was also transferred to the capital and served as an official in the household department. also took Mingzhu back to the capital. Because Mingzhu was still pregnant, Hu Shi was not at ease, so he also followed.
Wen Hui read the letter and didn't speak, Wen Jun said, "Mother, you better quickly pack up and go to meet your father." Originally, I was supposed to send you back to the capital, but the holy decree officially sealed me as the city lord of Xinguang City, so it is inconvenient for me to go around casually in the future. ”
Bai Shi was taken aback: "How can I give you a holy decree?" ”
Wen Jun said: "The holy decree is sent down to Shanghai City, and at the same time, there are also horses, and they are also the city lords of Shanghai City. ”
Wen Hui sneered and said, "The emperor is really generous, he gave a first-class official all of a sudden." ”
Wen Jun said: "We can't say anything about this, we can only wait for the patriarch of the Chen clan to go and talk to the emperor, for the time being, it can only be like this, I still have to be the city lord of this first-class official, and I can't disobey the holy decree." ”
Wen Hui said: "Well, the eldest brother is actually older than his father's official son now? ”
Wen Jun said: "Who is rare? We have spent so much energy, and it is really cost-effective for the imperial court to turn this into the territory of Dachu with an official position of a first-class product. ”
Wen Hui shook her head and said, "Wait, the city lord of Shanghai City should be able to be officially decided, but you, the city lord of Xinguang City, may not be." The Chen family will not be willing to suffer. Our Xinguang City on Yizhou Island is shouldering the heavy responsibility of providing food and supplies to the clan land. ”
Bai said: "No matter what, we must come according to the holy decree, Jun'er, you and your daughter-in-law will be the lord of the city." Your sister and I went back first. Let's go to Shanghai City first, and then I'll go to Beijing, and your sister will go to Huzhou to deal with it first, and then go to Beijing to make peace with us. I plan to buy a bigger house and move out to live alone after I move in Beijing. ”
Wen Hui and Wen Jun glanced at each other, knowing that their mother had been too comfortable in the past few years, and they didn't want to go back to the old mansion to suffer. They all nodded.
Just as Wan Meizhen came in, Wen Hui told Wan Meizhen about the matter. Wan Meizhen was very surprised, Wen Hui smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, your current grade is older than your mother, and you are all first-class Mrs. Fate." ”
Wan Meizhen was dumbfounded, although she was less sensitive, she could also detect the difference in this qiē.
The Chen family is a decisive person, they will act when they say it, and they will soon clean up and stop, Chen Wenjun organized some goods to travel with his mother and sister by boat, and they can't waste it, bring some goods, so that they can earn a travel fee.
During the sea voyage, Bai and Wen Hui were restless, the mother and daughter said a lot, after discussion, Bai decided to return to the capital, or to buy a big house, put it first, see the situation, a thought of returning to the old mansion in the capital, to face the eldest lady, the second lady, and the old lady, as well as those big houses, the concubines of the second room, Bai had a headache, Wen Hui said: "Mother, I heard the eldest brother say, you can't add me any more brothers and sisters, I was sick when I was a child, my grandmother and the second lady made it, right?" ”
Bai Shi was taken aback, looked at his daughter, and saw that his daughter's white face had a pair of eyes showing firmness, so he nodded and said, "You know everything?" Also, you can build this foundation with your eldest brother outside, how can I still hide these things from you. It's true. At that time, your grandmother was afraid that if I had sons in succession, she would guide your father to take her son's place. After all, her son only has a son-in-law in the big room, and although he has a son in the second room, he is a concubine. Besides, this matter is a trivial matter in their eyes, why is your grandfather only your father a concubine, because this medicine in your grandmother's hand has helped her deal with countless aunts, and only your father was born by luck. Therefore, she always regards your father as a thorn in her side, and as long as she is given the opportunity, she will definitely get rid of your father. Your father suffered a lot as a child. Later, when your father grew up, we got married, and with your two older brothers, we thought she would stop, after all, we were all ready to separate. But I didn't expect that she still poisoned us, and when I thought of the sins you suffered when you were a child, your father and I hated it, and this revenge must be avenged. ”
Wen Hui thought to herself, she really wanted revenge, but in fact, their daughter had been killed, and she occupied this body, so she should be repaid, and she also wanted to help the deity avenge this revenge.
Wen Hui's heart ignited a fighting spirit: "Mother, we must find a chance to avenge this when we go back." Now you go back first to help your father stabilize the dìng, I will stay in Shanghai City now, deal with the affairs of Shanghai City, and then go to Qingyang City to deal with the affairs of our Qingyang City, those workshops, restaurants are also handed over to the stewards to manage, but the real estate shops and the like will be dealt with. I think it's very unsafe, you see, the emperor came down with a holy decree, gave the eldest brother a reward, became a first-class official, and took Xinguang City as his own. I don't worry about our family business, we can still sell everything we can sell, take the money to invest in Nanyang, whether it is to buy land, build a city, occupy land as the king, how happy it is, no matter how long Da Chu's hand is, it can't reach there. ”
Bai nodded deeply and said: "Don't be in a hurry about selling the industry, for example, don't sell our fields first, just sell the shops in Deqing, Ancheng, and Qingyang City, and don't move in Suzhou City." The three big Zhuangzi in Heyang should not be moved. Because it has always been normal for officials to sell their shops in office after leaving office, there are not many people who sell their fields, and Suzhou and Heyang Prefecture are not under your father's jurisdiction, so they can't be moved yet. Wait for it to be drawn slowly. It must not arouse the suspicion of the emperor. ”
Chen Wenhui nodded. Looking in the direction of the capital in the distance, I thought to myself that maybe the comfortable life of the past would be gone forever.
ps:
The accumulation part is complete, and now it's going to be the capital.
