On the way back from the palace, Chen Wenhui was still thinking about staying with the little princess when she was dining in the palace of the imperial concubine Shi Yuesi.

Compared with Shi Yuesi's gentle and helpless, the little princess exudes self-confidence, personality, and hard character at a young age. Chen Wenhui couldn't help but think that when she grew up in the future, this little princess who was loved by thousands of people would definitely become a princess who could do better than her sister Princess Lichuan.

When Chen Wenhui returned home, she found that she had returned from making snow, and she looked very good. She couldn't help but ask, "How?" Did you meet new friends at today's party? ”

Rong Xue said with a smile: "Not only did I know a few girls from the Han family, but I also got to know a few girls from the Han family's in-laws, not to mention a few girls from the Shen family I saw last time, a few girls from the Li family who I hadn't seen before, and a few girls from the Zeng family, there are more than a dozen." We also wrote poems. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Needless to say, you must have won the championship." ”

Rong Xue smiled embarrassedly and said, "That's not it, it's me and the five girls of the Zeng family who are tied for the top." The five girls of the Zeng family are really talented, they write excellent poems, and they are quick to think, and I am ashamed of myself. Actually, she should be the first, and I should be the second. However, a few of them may have given me the joint first place in order to take care of me, a newcomer. ”

Chen Wenhui was a little surprised, she knew about the talent of making snow, and only the legendary Daiyu could compare with it. There are actually noble girls in this world who also have such talents, Chen Wenhui couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Are you humble." Don't I know your talents? But. There are girls in this world who are on a par with you, but it really makes me curious. Did you bring a manuscript of her poems? Show me. ”

Although Chen Wenhui can't write poetry, as a high-achieving student who has worn from the modern era, he still has this level of appreciation.

Lang Xue hurriedly went to bring the manuscript of the poem and showed it to Chen Wenhui. Chen Wenhui saw that she had a heart to make the snow, this time she copied all the poems of all the people, and after reading more than a dozen poems, Chen Wenhui saw at a glance that two of them were indeed of the best level. There is a sense of vicissitudes in the song, needless to say that it is snowy. One song is absolutely fresh. This should be the work of that Zeng girl. Come to think of it. An aristocratic maiden. can only write such a small and fresh work. However, the talent revealed between the lines cannot be hidden.

Chen Wenhui couldn't help but be amazed, this girl is really talented, Chen Wenhui asked: "This girl from the Zeng family is really talented." But. You don't have to be humble. In my opinion, your poetry is still above her level, after all. She has no social experience, and she still piles up a lot of things to write. ”

Luo Xue nodded, she suddenly remembered something and said, "Sister-in-law, in fact, she still has something to do with her sister-in-law." ”

Chen Wenhui couldn't help but wonder: "Oh? What relationship? ”

Lang Xue said with a smile: "I heard a girl joke that she knew that this Zeng Wu girl was only thirteen years old, but she had already been married, and she would get married in two years, because the man was the second son of the Mei family, the second sister-in-law of the sister-in-law." Isn't it also related to my sister-in-law? ”

Chen Wenhui suddenly realized, it turned out to be like this, it really had something to do with her. Chen Wenhui couldn't help but think of her second sister-in-law, Mei Ying.

At this moment, Mei Ying is a guest with Chen Wenlin at Mei's house. It has been two years since Mei Ying left the Mei family. I am also very happy to return home today, Chen Wenlin has been called to the study by his father-in-law Mei Hanlin to talk. At this moment, Mei Ying's second brother is accompanied by Mei Ying's second brother and several younger brothers and sisters born to her stepmother, as well as several younger brothers and sisters born to her aunt, and her stepmother is also accompanied.

Today, Mei Ying is also different. Mei Ying is already the most distinguished guest of the Mei family. Mei Ying's stepmother, Mrs. Mei, carefully accompanied Mei Ying.

Mei Ying looked at the blue and white porcelain bowl in her hand, this is an official kiln thing, the depiction is exquisite, smooth and transparent, the tire glaze is slightly shiny blue, and it is slightly light blue in the warmth, which is a fine product at a glance. Nowadays, the price of such good porcelain is not low, and it is much better than the previous use at home. The tea leaves in the gaiwan are also a flag and a gun, and it is a high-quality tea. Take a sip of your lips and teeth, and it can be seen that the life of your mother's family has improved a lot.

Mei Ying said: "I have seen it very well at home, this time the second brother can marry the Zeng family, I am also very happy, I heard that although the fifth girl of the Zeng family is only thirteen years old, she is already famous in the capital." ”

As soon as she said this, Mrs. Mei consciously realized that she had made a lot of contributions, and said with a smile on her face: "Yes, I don't know if my aunt and grandmother have seen the five girls of the Zeng family?" Not only is he famous, but he also looks good. The Zeng family has been scholarly for generations, and the second son was able to marry her, but I had a lot of twists and turns at that time. ”

Although I don't like my stepmother's face, I have to say that my stepmother has made great progress in recent years, especially in the treatment of the two younger brothers, but it is much better, it is better to say that the marriage of the eldest brother was very good before, and the eldest brother's daughter-in-law chose it well, although it was chosen by someone from the Mei family, and all the money for the wedding was made by Mei Ying, but it was already very satisfying that the stepmother could show Xiàn so well.

This time, she also handled the second brother's marriage very well, and the choice of this brother's daughter-in-law was very satisfactory to Mei Ying. Mei Ying smiled and said, "Mother has worked hard. Wenlin and I are in Nanyang all the year round, and we don't have time to come back to fulfill our filial piety, and we have to bring our eldest brother and eldest brother-in-law to Nanyang, so that my mother has no daughter-in-law to serve in front of us, so we don't want to go. ”

After speaking, he asked the maid to bring a clip, which contained the contract of the shop.

Mrs. Mei suddenly smiled, the eldest girl marrying into Xiao Chen's family is really too good, since she got married, the family's income has been increasing, and life has gradually gotten much better.

Mrs. Mei didn't postpone it, took it directly, and said with a smile: "Oh, my uncle has a heart, you must thank my uncle for me." Oops, you just said that my aunt's family bought it? Then is your mother-in-law unhappy? After all, it is to take the money of the mother-in-law's family to the mother's house, which mother-in-law will be happy. ”

Mei Ying looked down on her stepmother's face, she said, "You also know my mother-in-law." Is she that kind of person? Besides, in the eyes of our Xiao Chen family, these shops are nothing. In Nanyang, there are two cities in my charge alone, not counting the cities that help my sister-in-law manage, which city does not have thousands of shops and eight hundred? ”

Only then did Mrs. Mei think about it, this is indeed the truth, the Xiao Chen family is really rich, and the little leakage in her hand is enough for the Mei family.

Mei Ying didn't bother to talk to her stepmother, and turned her head to look at her second brother, this is the younger brother of her mother's compatriots, Mei Ying's face couldn't help but become gentle: "This girl from the Zeng family, have you seen it?" ”

Mei Ying's second brother turned red, and hurriedly said, "I have met once, and it really looks good." ”

Mei Ying was very happy to hear this, and it seemed that the second brother was also very satisfied with this marriage.

Mei Ying said: "Well, in the future, when you get married, I may not be able to come back, but I will let the people of the Chen family get back the cost of your marriage." You can rest assured, you will definitely not be wronged by the talented daughter of the Zeng family. You have to be kind to others in the future. Also, since you are married, you have to pay attention, your future daughter-in-law is a talented woman, you must also study hard, pay more attention to economics, and only then can you have the ability to help me in Nanyang in the future. Men must make contributions so that they will not be looked down upon by their wives. ”

Mei Ying's second brother hurriedly said solemnly: "What the eldest sister taught is that the younger brother must keep it in mind. ”

Mrs. Mei smiled and said: "When the second son gets married, naturally the family pays for it, where can I still use my aunt and grandmother to pay for it?" How embarrassed is it to ask someone from Xiao Chen's family to bring it? ”

Mei Ying said: "I have this ability, you know, my mother-in-law is a generous person, she has always favored me, as long as it is for her younger brothers to marry, how much money is spent, she is not distressed by the old man." Not only will I cover the marriage of my second brother in the future, but I will also add a generous portion of the dowry of several younger sisters. ”

As soon as she said this, Mei Ying's sisters, whether they were from their stepmother or from their concubines, all smiled.

Especially the sister of her stepmother, she didn't bully Mei Ying less before, and she was a little uneasy in her heart, afraid that Mei Ying would retaliate after gaining power, no matter her, then she would suffer a big loss. I didn't expect my sister to ignore her past suspicions, and she was ready to add generous gifts to her future wedding.

With Mei Ying's character, she said that it was a generous gift, and it must be very rich, and it may be worth more than the dowry prepared for her by her parents. This is great news, with such a rich dowry, you will definitely be able to find a better in-law.

The younger sisters were also very happy. Originally, their futures were very bleak, because with their mother's temperament, where were they willing to take the money out to buy them a dowry? Coupled with their status as concubines, it is difficult to find a good in-law. But now it's good, with this generous gift from the eldest sister, I can also take out my hand if I want to, which is considered a rich dowry, and when I look for my in-law's family in the future, I have more room to choose. There is also some more security in the future.

Therefore, the whole Mei family rejoiced.

Compared with Mei Ying, Wan Meizhen's life in the capital does not have so many worries. Her maiden family is in Huzhou, of course, now half of the clansmen of the Wanjia family are in Xinguang City. She doesn't have many relatives in the capital, but she is not idle. Because she is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xiao Chen family and the patriarch of the Xiao Chen family, it is also a great thing to socialize in the capital.

Her mother-in-law attaches great importance to her, and she has been busy taking her around among the noblewomen in the capital in the past few days, and has met many people. Fortunately, Wan Meizhen has good means, and she copes with it without leakage, but it has won her a good name.

The ladies in the capital gradually admired Xiao Chen's wife Bai, and the two daughters-in-law she chose were the most criticized and were not of high origin. Among them, the eldest daughter-in-law, as a clan wife, turned out to be a businessman, and she was not discussed behind the backs of the noblewomen in the capital. However, when I saw the real person now, I found that Wan Meizhen was not only extremely beautiful, but also the best one in words and deeds, which couldn't help but make the ladies in the capital gain insight and admire Bai's vision.
