Chapter 29: Spitting
When Zhao Chongyi came back, what he saw was the scene of Chen Wenhui laughing in the company of several big maids in Shuilian. Zhao Chongyi was also very happy to ask: "What are you talking about?" So happy, and it makes me happy to say it? ”
The four of them were busy fetching water, and those who took clothes took clothes, Zhao Chongyi went to the clean room to change into civilian clothes, and saw that only Chen Wenhui was sitting alone on the big kang, looking through the account book, and a little maid next to him was pouring tea, and after pouring it, she also went out.
Zhao Chongyi said: "The four of them are busy? You're laughing at home today? I see that your complexion is very good today, why do you still look at the account book, and you don't take a break. ”
Chen Wenhui said: "Seeing that the New Year is coming, this year, I have been busy with the affairs of Tiebi Pass and Shanhai City, where can I take care of my own affairs?" My workshop, my Nanyang have to be managed, right? When I was free today, I called the four of them over and checked the accounts. By the way, let me tell you something. ”
Chen Wenhui recounted the repetition of Zhao Chongyi's annual care of 100,000 taels of silver and Yangshantang to those comrades, and finally said: "I mean to waive this money." In the future, they can go to hospitals and Yangshantang for anything, and if they want to do business, they can go to the bank for a loan. I told the bank that as long as you were a soldier in the past, or a soldier's survivor, or a soldier now, you can take out a loan in the bank, and the interest rate is the lowest, and it is really difficult, so you can give it interest-free, isn't it better than simply giving a few money? ”
Zhao Chongyi thought for a while and said, "Actually, I already wanted to talk about this some time ago. In the past, I took care of them because we were all in the capital, or on the battlefield. I can't take care of them, so I can only use money to help them. However, now, we are in charge of the northwest, and I also give the highest compensation to the soldiers. We also took care of the bereaved families of the soldiers, and we also opened a sanity hall and a hospital, so the money was meaningless. It's okay to be exempt. ”
"However, what you said about the loan to the soldiers' bank is very important, because it can not only take care of the people who have joined the army before. More importantly, it is very beneficial to the officers and men in the Northwest Army. I'm out on a fight this time. When we are idle, we chat, and many people want to move their families to the iron wall. The development in Tiebiguan is relatively fast. Start a small business or something. They can't starve to death, and they are much stronger than in their hometowns. ”
Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "In this case, we might as well set aside a place every year." The government pays for the construction of a number of houses every year for the military families of the soldiers to live in. In this way, the families of the soldiers can be attracted from their hometowns, and the hearts of the soldiers can be calmed. Anyway, the emperor gives us so much silver every year, and we naturally have to spend all this silver to create welfare for the soldiers and the people. ”
Zhao Chongyi smiled when he heard it and said, "The emperor trusts you, and you spend his money like this?" ”
Chen Wenhui pursed her lips and said: "I spent my money on the people and the soldiers of Dachu, which is much better than him spending all the money on the maiden family of the harem woman." ”
Zhao Chongyi thought about it too, and stopped talking.
Chen Wenhui then told Zhao Chongyi about the water cold. Zhao Chongyi smiled and said, "So you guys were laughing at this just now?" In fact, it is good for Shui Han to marry the account office in our house, so that after the two of them get married, they can continue to help you. By the way, speaking of which, I have something I want to tell you. ”
Chen Wenhui asked strangely: "What's the matter?" ”
Zhao Chongyi said: "One of my subordinates is now a flag boss, I don't know what's wrong, I fell in love with Shui Hong next to you." ”
Chen Wenhui said: "Can anyone around me think about it? How is this person? ”
Zhao Chongyi said: "The person is not bad, he is strong in martial arts, brave in battle, and strategic, but his family situation is average. is a person from Gan Province, and his family is ordinary, with a big brother, sister-in-law, parents, and sisters. Now, he has become the flag chief, so he has moved his entire family back, bought a house here with his savings over the years, and purchased more than 20 acres of land, and that's it. ”
Chen Wenhui then asked in detail about this person's age, appearance, hobbies, character, and family situation, which is simply 100,000 why?
Zhao Chongyi was asked, so he could only bow down and say, "Okay, I don't know these problems either." It's better to do this, another day, I'll let him come into the house to show you all, and if you have any questions, go and ask him yourself. ”
Chen Wenhui thought about it as soon as she thought about it, and said: "Of course I have to take a good look at it, and Shui Hong also has to inspect it personally, after all, she is the person she wants to live a lifetime." ”
Zhao Chongyi shook his head. At this time, Shuilian brought someone to ask for instructions to set the meal.
Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi got up and went to the flower hall to eat.
As soon as she entered the flower hall and saw the table full of food, Chen Wenhui suddenly felt a greasy taste in her heart, and couldn't help but vomit.
This frightened Shuilian and Zhao Chongyi, and hurriedly served Chen Wenhui.
Chen Wenhui vomited in the dark, and intuitively vomited out all the bile. That's it. Shui Lian hurriedly took warm water and rinsed Chen Wenhui's mouth.
After Chen Wenhui cleaned up, she was weak and could only be helped to sit on the Taishi chair.
Zhao Chongyi was so frightened that he kept asking, "What's wrong?" What did you eat today? Why did you vomit so badly, I didn't do it before? Did you invite a doctor? ”
Shuilian said: "I have already asked the little girl to invite the resident doctor in the house to come over." ”
After a while, the doctor came. asked Chen Wenhui for a pulse, and she didn't make a sound.
After reading it with his right hand and looking at his left hand, Zhao Chongyi was so nervous that he was about to sweat.
At this time, the doctor was able to finish reading, and he said with a smile: "Congratulations to the grandfather, congratulations to the county lord." ”
Zhao Chongyi was anxious and said, "Congratulations on what?" County Lord, what's wrong? Why did you vomit so much? ”
The doctor smiled and said, "The county lord is happy, of course I have to congratulate you." ”
This news was like an earth-shattering shock, and it suddenly shocked Chen Wenhui and his wife. Still Shuilian reacted and asked, "Doctor, what you said is true?" ”
The doctor hurriedly said, "What's a joke about this? ”
Shui Lian was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Congratulations to the grandfather, congratulations to the county lord." ”
For a while, the little maids around me were constantly congratulating.
At this time, Chen Wenhui and his wife reacted.
Chen Wenhui couldn't help but grab Zhao Chongyi's hand tightly and said, "Chongyi, are we going to have children?" ”
Zhao Chongyi was so happy that he didn't know how to get better, and said: "Hui'er, Hui'er, we're going to have a child, this is really, really, hey, I'm so happy." By the way, doctor, thank you. Water lotus, quickly give the doctor a double copy of the red seal. ”
Shui Lian hurriedly came down, turned around and went to the room, and after a while, took out two big red envelopes, each of which was a silver ticket of one hundred taels of silver.
The doctor was very happy.
Shuilian asked the doctor to write the precautions before the doctor left.
When Shuilian came back from a busy time, she saw that Zhao Chongyi and Chen Wenhui were still holding hands tightly and looking at each other.
Shui Lian couldn't help laughing and said, "Grandpa, county lord, do you want the county lord to rest first, wait until you feel better for a while, what you want to eat, and then ask the small kitchen to make it again." ”
A sentence reminded Zhao Chongyi, Zhao Chongyi hurriedly and carefully supported Chen Wenhui, as if Chen Wenhui was made of glass, and said, "You have to rest well." Let's go back to our room first. ”
Chen Wenhui couldn't help but be amused again, and said angrily: "I don't have anything, it's just that I had an uncomfortable appetite just now, and I vomited, everything else is fine, and it's not that I can't walk, what are you doing?" ”
Although she said this, Chen Wenhui still enjoyed Zhao Chongyi's gentle care.
The two of them walked into the room hand in hand.
Shui Lian came in and said, "Grandpa, county lord, is there a reward for such a big happy event in our house?" Also, is there a report from the capital? The affairs of the yamen will also be reassigned in the future, and the county lord will not take care of so many things in the future, and take care of the fetus. ”
Zhao Chongyi hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, what Shuilian said is that we are all dizzy with joy, and we didn't expect this." ”
Shuilian continued: "Although we have been serving the county lord, however, we are all leading errands, and we have no experience, now we are in the northwest again, Mrs. in-laws and Mrs. Zhao are not there, did we call Mama Su over, she has a lot of experience in the elderly, in the future, the county lord will be taken care of by her, and we all listen to Mama Su?" ”
Zhao Chongyi was very right when he heard it, and Chen Wenhui had already spoken: "Shuilian is right, you went and invited Mama Su to come over." and Mama Zhao also came over. In the future, Mama Zhao will take care of the affairs of the house, and Mama Su will take care of me. ”
The water lotus is busy.
After a while, two grandmothers came over. Congratulations to the owner first. Zhao Chongyi smiled and personally helped the two grandmothers up and said, "It's the first time we've experienced this kind of thing. There is no experience, and the two old ladies are not around. Or ask the two grandmothers to help more. ”
Mama Su said with a smile on her face: "Please rest assured, the slave and maid will do their best." ”
Chen Wenhui said: "I am like this now, I can't take care of the affairs of the yamen, so I can only hand it over to the four of them." There are a few maids by my side, and they are almost experienced. It's all under Mama Su's control. In the future, Mama Zhao will be in charge of the affairs in the house, and Mama Su will be in charge of the affairs of my grandfather and me. ”
The two grandmothers hurriedly came down.
Water Lotus gave the pair to Mama Zhao and Mama Su.
Mama Su hurriedly said, "First of all, I want to get some delicious food for the county lord to eat." If you are pregnant with a child, you will vomit. However, vomit should also be eaten, so that the child can be raised well. ”
Chen Wenhui nodded.
On this day, the entire county lord's mansion was full of joy. All the servants were rewarded.
When the news reached the capital, Bai and Chen Yuanheng in the capital were so happy that they asked someone to bring a few carts of things to the northwest, with food, drink, and use. also specially rewarded all the people who served in Chen Wenhui's mansion with one or two pieces of silver each. Among them, the steward rewarded five taels of silver, the people in Chen Wenhui's house were ten taels of silver each, and Mama Su and Mama Zhao were two people, each with one hundred taels of silver.
