In the evening, after eating, the Bai family took out the things he bought for Chen Yuanheng, Chen Wenjun, and Chen Wenlin to them. and told them that this was something that Chen Wenhui wanted to buy for them. They shouted that their daughter (sister) was intimate. All happily holding things.

Actually, Chen Wenjun and Chen Wenlin still got some things when they were in Beijing, but they were not given by their parents. Chen Wenjun has been smart and handsome since he was a child, and he is very appreciated by his grandfather. His things, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and some clothes, jade hairpins, and the crown of the head, in addition to those issued by the public, were rewarded by the eventful grandfather. There are also some things that grandpa's friends and parents' friends give them as gifts.

Although Chen Wenlin is not as smart as Chen Wenjun, he has been a lively character since he was a child, so he is also very likable and has gained some things. Chen Yuanheng and his wife were in an awkward position in the mansion and had no money to spare, so they had never bought these luxury goods for their children. Now I can't help but feel sad when I see my sons so happy.

When the children are gone, the Chen couple will also be resettled. For a moment, only the two of them were left in the bedroom. Bai told Chen Yuanheng about shopping during the day. At the same time, he told Chen Yuanheng about the many jewelry he bought for Chen Wenhui.

Chen Yuanheng said: "It's all affected by me, Hui'er is so old to buy her jewelry for the first time, besides, we are living better now, we have extra money in our hands, not all of them are brought by Hui'er, it is appropriate to buy more for her." In the future, I will have more jewelry, and I will be able to get a high look at my in-laws. ”

Bai said: "Just thinking about our daughters, our two sons are so old, and it is the first time to buy things for them. Hey, although they grew up in the gate of the mansion, they grew up in brocade clothes and food, and wore gold and silver, but none of them were bought by their parents. The jade pendant given to them this time is very meticulous, but the quality of the jade is much worse than the one given to them by those old ladies. Still, they were pleased. It can be seen that they usually have a hard time in the house. ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "That is, the son of the eldest brother and the second brother is naturally more favored than them. It's just that my father is better, and he treats everyone equally. But the people below have a lot of things to look at their mother-in-law's face, how can they be good to the people in our third room. Anyway, you and your sons and daughters are tired of me. ”

Bai Shi looked at Chen Yuanheng's guilty face and said, "Master doesn't have to blame himself, I am also a concubine, I understand the taste." is to pity our children, in the future, they will be burdened by us, and they will definitely not be able to find everyone's daughter-in-law and son-in-law. The thought of the children having to suffer this after returning to Beijing made me feel uncomfortable. ”

Chen Yuanheng's eyes flashed and said, "Madame, don't worry. I've thought about it a long time ago. In order to prevent my sons and daughters from suffering what we have suffered, I have done everything possible to come out, that is, to make decisions about the marriage of my children. We are far away from the capital, and in a few years, when the children are older, we will give them relatives here, and with my current official position, find a daughter of a big family in the local area or they will climb high. ”

Bai Shi was overjoyed when he heard this: "It's still the master's long-term thinking." Then he thought about it and became worried: "However, this Ancheng is too small, I have almost seen these big local families, many girls are the same age as our Jun'er, are they beautiful, but they are not worse than the girls in the capital, but they are far worse than the girls in the capital." If you marry such a small place, you will have poor knowledge, how will you gain a foothold among the concubines in the future. ”

Chen Yuanheng took Bai's hand and said, "Madam, you are thinking about it very right. If a daughter-in-law like us is not capable, not only will she not be able to help her husband, but she will also drag her husband back. Jun'er and Lin'er are both going to enter the officialdom in the future, and the ladies are also very important in the officialdom. There is a solution to this point. Bai looked at her husband's face shining with wisdom and said, "What way?" Chen Yuanheng said gently: "Madam, do you think, we naturally don't have many people to choose from in Ancheng, what if our official position is raised?" What if we become prefects? What if you get to the provincial capital? ”

Bai's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Yes, we can't be petty officials for the rest of our lives." I believe that the master's ability is much stronger than those officials who die studying, and it is much stronger than those gentlemen from big families. Anyway, our children are still young, so we can postpone our marriage for two years. ”

Chen Yuanheng stretched out his hand and poured himself a cup of tea, and while drinking the tea slowly and methodically, he said to the Bai family: "However, just having strong ability may not necessarily lead to promotion. Some time ago, I had someone send two hundred taels of silver to the prefect. The prefect is very happy, if he sends another 3,000 taels at the end of the year, it is estimated that he will be able to give me an excellent grade. I have done a very good job in the past two years, there are not many lawsuits, there are no big cases, the county is very peaceful, and when the green and yellow are not accepted, I have arranged many female workers to work to subsidize the family, and solve the living problems of the people. However, there is only superiority, but it can't solve the problem, so you can only continue to serve as a county magistrate in Anseong. If you want to upgrade, it's not something that the prefect can solve. I need help from someone in Kyozato. ”

Bai raised his hand to serve tea to Chen Yuanheng, and he was wearing an emerald green bracelet on his white and tender hands, which was very good-looking. Chen Yuanheng couldn't help but grab the pair of jade hands. Bai's face flushed, but he didn't struggle, he just said, "Master, it's serious." Chen Yuanheng said innocently: "I didn't do anything?" ”

Bai took a sip before saying, "Master, can we ask Jingli's father for help?" Chen Yuanheng said: "Now my father is just an idle official. The eldest brother and the second brother are both of high grades, but they are both officials with no real power. At the beginning, I went out of Beijing to get this petty official because I knew a lot of agents, so I had to ask those people for help. Now officials like the prefect can't get them by small brokers. I thought about it for a while, and I could only find someone. ”

Bai Shi hurriedly asked, "Who?" Chen Yuanheng said in a deep voice: "The eldest sister in the palace." Bai Shi understood. asked again: "How can the eldest sister, a ** person, solve this matter?" Chen Yuanheng said: "This lady doesn't know." The eldest sister was promoted to the concubine position because she gave birth to Princess Lichuan, and she was very favored, giving birth to a prince and a concubine. In those years, he was very powerful in the palace, and the queen looked sideways. Our home was also stained. However, within two years, the prince died. The eldest sister is also older, her appearance is no longer what she used to be, and she has fallen out of favor. Our family also declined. My father and brothers rose and fell to idle positions. However, some time ago, I heard the eyeliner left in Beijing say that the eldest sister is up again in the **. ”

Bai Shi was stunned when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "Eldest sister is very old now." How can it get up again? Chen Yuanheng said: "** China is more cruel than the officialdom struggle." When the eldest sister gained power, it hindered the queen's eyes, so the prince also died young, and the eldest sister also fell out of favor. Now, the eldest sister has only one Lichuan princess. Princess Lichuan was born beautiful and intelligent since she was a child, and she was loved by the emperor. The eldest sister who has fallen out of favor over the years would have been unable to survive if it weren't for the princess. Now Princess Lichuan is also married. The lord is the son of the Marquis of Jinghai. Some time ago, the old Marquis Jinghai went, and the prince succeeded to the title of Marquis of Jinghai, which was originally to be reduced by one grade, because the emperor loved the princess, so he did not reduce it. The prince succeeded him as the Marquis of Jinghai. Therefore, the status of the eldest sister in the palace and in the court has risen. Also, because the crown prince born to the queen is now very unpopular with the emperor. However, the three princes born to the concubine are very popular with the emperor. Now the palace is divided into two factions, the queen faction and the concubine faction. The court was also divided into two factions for the sake of the prince, and they fought very much. Now the eldest sister is a concubine, second only to the concubine and the queen, and it is impossible to have a prince anymore, so she can't threaten them, but because of her daughter and son-in-law, she has a high status. Therefore, now the queen and the concubine are courting the eldest sister. The eldest sister was hot all of a sudden. ”

Bai Shi patted his chest when he heard this: "Oh my God, the palace is even more complicated than the inside of our house." Chen Yuanheng smiled coldly: "It's because I've seen too much of these that I don't want to stay in that kind of right and wrong." It's just that now in order to live a better life in the future, I still have to use the hand of the eldest sister. Now that the eldest sister has gained momentum again, it is the time to use things and money, if we can do what we like at this time, we will definitely be able to get the help of the eldest sister. The eldest sister also hopes to get a few more people from our own family in the court, so as to consolidate her power. ”

Bai Shi heard it: "I understand what the master said." Actually, it's easy for us to do what we like. We are in the south of the Yangtze River, and many of the clothes are colors that are not available in Beijing. If you can give the eldest sister some clothes, the eldest sister will definitely like it. It would be nice to add some new jewelry. Hui'er and I went to Wanjiayinlou today and found that their workmanship was first-class, and it was more innovative. It's not as good as the Ministry of Internal Affairs in terms of material. This is also easy to do, anyway, it's still early for the Chinese New Year, so they can find more gems with good color, pearls and the like, and buy a set when the time comes. Also, the satin fabrics of the Lan family we cooperate with are very good, so we can ask the Lan family to find us some good clothes. can't just send it to the eldest sister, but also to Princess Lichuan, as well as the mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and second sister-in-law, so that they all say good things about the lord in front of the eldest sister, and the eldest sister must be more dedicated to the master. ”

Chen Yuanheng was very happy to hear it: "Madame, this idea is very good. I'll go to Lan Shanghan tomorrow to talk to him. The person in charge of Wanjiayinlou here is the younger brother of the head of the Wanjia family, and I know him so I will talk to him another day. Don't worry about money, we have a good business now, and we will definitely be able to save this money by the time of the Chinese New Year. Even if the time comes, I don't need to take the 3,000 taels sent to the prefect from the business, I can get it in the yamen at the end of the year. With the current development, by the end of the year, in addition to the money for gifts, we may have enough money to buy land. It's not too early, so let's settle it quickly. After speaking, he lowered his head and kissed Bai's jade hand. Bai's face turned even redder.
