Chapter 111: Peace of mind

Here, Chen Wenhui was busy checking out everywhere, and Huang Yuyan and Wan Qiaozhen in the middle all came to visit Chen Wenhui. Huang Yuyan was the first to get the news, after all, Zhao Chongyi went to find her father Huang Tingzhen.

Wan Qiaozhen didn't leave Qingyang City either, and after Huang Yuyan told her, she also hurriedly came to Zhuangzi to meet Chen Wenhui.

Chen Wenhui didn't hide it from them, but just said that the two of them actually went to southern Xinjiang on the orders of the emperor. Moreover, they brought back a lot of things from southern Xinjiang for everyone.

Huang Yuyan and Wan Qiaozhen were very happy to see these rare things, and pestered Chen Wenhui to talk about their trip to southern Xinjiang.

Chen Wenhui naturally said it again, of course, a lot of important information can't be said, Chen Wenhui didn't say it. When Huang Yuyan and Wan Qiaozhen heard that there is another ethnic group in southern Xinjiang where women are in power, and the person in power in southern Xinjiang is the queen, they were very surprised.

After listening, Huang Yuyan's eyes lit up and said, "Wen Hui, hearing what you said, I also want to go out and see it." I used to follow my father in office, and I didn't go to places less. However, since I came to Qingyang City, especially after I got married, I have been trapped in that small courtyard all day long, and I am worried to death. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled slightly.

Huang Yuyan said: "Wen Hui, I want to tell you that our family discussed the proposal you gave us last time, and finally my father-in-law wrote a letter back, agreeing that our husband and wife would go to Nanyang, and gave us 10,000 taels of silver to buy a house there." When my mother heard the news, she also supported us and gave me 10,000 taels of silver in private. Add to that our husband and wife's own self-esteem. And my dowry can be used in the middle, and I can probably make up 30,000 taels of silver, Wen Hui, do you think we can go to Nanyang enough? ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said: "Of course it's enough, many people who go to Nanyang have a hundred taels of silver on them, and now they have become a rich man." Moreover, you will have thirty thousand taels of silver. Your father-in-law is magnificent, but your mother also feels sorry for you and gives you so much money in private. ”

Huang Yuyan smiled.

Chen Wenhui said: "We can buy an acre of flat land for one tael of silver. Three acres of mountainous land. How much land can you buy for 30,000 taels of silver? Of course, such land is wasteland, and it needs to be cleared. If you buy a farmed by someone. A little farther away may be two or three taels of silver per acre. Closer to the city. But it was less than five taels of silver. Tell me, how much can you buy? Not chewy enough? ”

Huang Yuyan covered her mouth in surprise and said, "If we can buy so much, won't we become big landlords?" ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "You can't use all this money to buy land." Don't these lands need to be cultivated? Therefore, in addition to the silver, it is better for you to bring more helpers, stewards and so on, and it is better to have children and be faithful. In this way, when you get to Nanyang, you can pay more money to buy more Japanese people to farm, and that's it. If it's not easy for you to take care of it, it doesn't matter, you buy the Zhuangzi and give it to the workshops that specialize in taking care of the Zhuangzi. They automatically hand over a certain amount of profit to you every year. Although less, it is better not to worry. ”

Huang Yuyan asked strangely: "Isn't that a tenant?" ”

Chen Wenhui smiled: "This is not a tenant, he may be richer than you." They specialize in farming. There are specialized machines and there are a lot of manpower. I won't be able to explain these things for a while, but you'll know when you get to Nanyang. Your 30,000 taels of silver, I suggest, take out 20,000 taels of silver to buy a grange, and you don't need to buy Japanese people to farm the land, and then you can hand it over to the kind of workshop that specializes in farming, which is enough for your family to eat. It's better not to worry about it, and to make sure you make it. ”

Huang Yuyan listened.

Chen Wenhui continued: "The remaining 10,000 taels of silver, see what good business is done there." Either partner with others to open a workshop, or teach your family to open a workshop. If you really can't do it, you can take the 10,000 taels of silver to buy a few shops, and you can also collect some rent. As for both of you, you both have jobs to do. Yan Boxuan, who is in charge of your house, can become my official, and you can also become my official. I see that you are very talented in judging cases, and the law and the like are very talented. It just so happens that I don't have that kind of talent there. You must help me. My officer, Yu Lu is very good. Better than Da Chu. The two of you can live well without a tael of silver. ”

Huang Yuyan was a little stunned, she is also an official?

Chen Wenhui said: "You still have to buy a house, my houses there are all uniformly planned, you can pick up the good ones and buy them, and buy the kind of house with several entrances before and after, enough for people and children to live in." There are also garden ones. ”

Huang Yuyan hadn't reacted yet, and asked half-loudly: "I can also be an official?" I'm a daughter. ”

Chen Wenhui was unhappy and said, "Am I not a daughter? ”

Huang Yuyan thought about it.

Chen Wenhui said: "I'll talk about these later, you can prepare first, this person must bring enough." Especially the trusted mama, be sure to bring it. Why don't you give your child to whom? ”

Huang Yuyan thought about it for a while, and this matter will be talked about later.

Chen Wenhui thought in her heart that maybe Huang Yuyan's husband would be a little resistant to Huang Yuyan being an official, but when he arrived in Nanyang, he couldn't help it, with Wan Shuhui in charge, Nanyang was in such an atmosphere, and Yan Boxuan couldn't hold it.

Chen Wenhui was overjoyed, Huang Yuyan was absent-minded, Wan Qiaozhen looked at the two of them, and could only divert the topic and said, "Wenhui, I heard that Sister Mingzhu is coming back?" ”

Chen Wenhui hurriedly said: "Yes, isn't it an amnesty for the world, and Sister Mingzhu's father is also pardoned?" His old man has been taken to live in the Zhuangzi next door to us. As you know, the Zhuangzi where I live now belongs to my mother. When she was in Qingyang City, she bought three Zhuangzi, one for my mother's own use, one for Aunt Hu, and one for Sister Mingzhu. Later, she became the dowry of Mingzhu's sister. ”

"Now, Master Xu has been taken out, he has long since reconciled with Aunt Hu, so naturally he can't live in Aunt Hu's Zhuangzi, but only in his daughter's Zhuangzi. Chongyi and I went to visit him yesterday. He looked very young, still reading and writing. ”

Huang Yuyan said: "Although he has been in prison for several years, because he has always been taken care of, he has not suffered at all, but he can calm down and study, and he has become a famous Confucian in the south of the Yangtze River." It's just that the Shilin squadron has a mixed reputation. After all, he is a sinner, but his knowledge is indeed admirable. I heard that he had been released from prison under amnesty, and many small academies wanted to invite him to teach. However, he politely refused. ”

Chen Wenhui said with a smile: "Although he has been released from prison by amnesty, after all, he is a sinner in Dachu and is not suitable for teaching and educating people." When Chongyi and I went to visit him yesterday, we asked him about his plans. He said that now that his wife is separated and he has no home, he originally only wanted to read books and books, but now that he has freedom and wants to travel the world, anyway, the offerings that Mingzhu gives him every year are enough for him to travel. When you are tired of walking, go back to this small village on the edge of Qingyang City to live for a while. ”

Huang Yuyan said: "That's fine." ”

Chen Wenhui said: "I think it's a bit wasteful. So, yesterday, I invited him to Nanyang. He is a sinner in Dachu, but he doesn't care about these things in Nanyang. His talent is okay to be a petty official in Nanyang, and it is okay to teach and educate people in the school. ”

Huang Yuyan was surprised again and said: "Such a person with a criminal record can also be an official in Nanyang?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "His case is not serious, in a situation like his, there have been officials in all dynasties and dynasties, and he has all met the conditions for reinstatement, and he can be an official in Dachu, not to mention just being an official in my Nanyang." Our Nanyang is under construction, and there is a shortage of not only the people, but also the herdsmen and officials. ”

Huang Yuyan was silent, there were many such situations in previous dynasties, just like Chen Wenhui said, you can continue to be an official in Dachu, and there is no problem in Nanyang.

Wan Qiaozhen said: "We can't control Master Xu's problem, but Sister Mingzhu came back this time, I don't know how long we can stay, we haven't seen her for many years." ”

Chen Wenhui said: "I received a letter from her, she said that seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, she wants to accompany her old father for the New Year, and then go back after the New Year." Besides, she has long wanted to come to Jiangnan, because her family has a lot of tea farms in Jiangnan, she has long wanted to come and see, but there are too many things in the capital, she can't leave, this time when she comes back, in addition to visiting her old father, she also has to take a look at the tea field by the way, so she should go back with us next spring. ”

Huang Yuyan and Wan Qiaozhen were happy when they heard it: "It's good now, we can reunite more." ”

Chen Wenhui asked: "Sister Qiaozhen, don't you have to go back to the clan for the New Year?" ”

Wan Qiaozhen smiled and said, "I was going back." However, if you celebrate the New Year in Qingyang City, and Sister Mingzhu also celebrates the New Year in Qingyang City, my mother-in-law, a shrewd person, won't let me stay? What a great opportunity this is? How could you miss it. We have to hold Wen Hui's thighs and not let go. and Sister Mingzhu's husband is currently a very human minister, and others can't stutter, how can our family miss it? ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it and laughed.

Wan Qiaozhen said: "I didn't like to stay in the clan, there are many people, there is no worry-free thing, thanks to my mother-in-law, she can handle everything in an orderly manner, and it will definitely not work if it is me." ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said: "You are a blessed life, in the future, if your mother-in-law is a hundred years old, what will you do?" ”

Wan Qiaozhen said with a distracted look: "My mother-in-law is in good health, I don't think there will be a problem in managing things for a few more years." By the time my mother-in-law is a hundred years old, or she is too old to take care of it, my daughter-in-law should have already married into the door. When the time comes, I will pick a capable daughter-in-law, and as soon as I enter the door, I will give her the power of housekeeping. She's happy, too, and I'm worry-free, how good? ”

Everyone laughed. (To be continued......)
