Actually, Wen Hui didn't tell Mingzhu another reason in her heart, that is, she didn't want to owe the fourth prince a favor because of this matter. Wen Hui believed that it was okay if she didn't give Lu Tingshi money, and the other party would automatically consciously calculate the favor debt to the head of the four princes, but she didn't do it, because the favor debt is the most difficult to repay, especially this kind of triangular debt. Wen Hui's experience in her previous life as a white-collar worker is one yard, and she must be clean and neat when doing things. In this way, there will be follow-up development. Of course, this is too advanced for Mingzhu, and Wen Hui didn't talk to Mingzhu for the time being.

Two days later, Chen Wenlin returned. Wen Hui was distressed to find that the second brother had become dark and thin, probably because the sun on the beach was too strong. But Chen Wenlin's spirit is very good and elated, after all, this is the first time he has gone to work alone, and it is a big thing.

Chen Wenlin was very convinced of Chen Wenhui, and when there was no one at night, he found Wenhui and secretly told her about the harbor.

This time, Chen Wenlin visited several natural ports by the sea, of course, under the guidance of a guide. Three places were finally identified. One by one, they are marked on the map. Then explain it to my sister. After listening to Chen Wenlin's explanation and comparing the map, Chen Wenhui vaguely felt that the places Chen Wenlin chose were one in Ningbo in the previous life, one in Lianyungang in the previous life, and the other should be in Shanghai in the previous life.

Thinking of this, Chen Wenhui couldn't help but think of the prosperity of Shanghai in her previous life and the charm of this international metropolis. Chen Wenhui said without thinking about it: "I think this Huating County is very good." ”

Chen Wenlin looked at his sister with a strange expression.

Chen Wenhui couldn't help but widen her eyes and said, "What's wrong?" Second brother, why do you see me like this? ”

Chen Wenlin said: "Sister, do you know that although this Huating County is now a small county seat, those two are both prefectures. However, this Huating County used to be famous, this Huating County was a port to go to sea personally demarcated by Emperor Guanglie of the previous dynasty, and the county was also set up by Emperor Guanglie, and Emperor Guanglie even built a wharf, which can still be used now. ”

Wen Hui's expression was stunned, thinking that this Emperor Guanglie was really a typical colleague of the crossing. If you don't build Shanghai, you won't stop. Of course, it seems that he also has the idea of building Shanghai, probably from that place can't forget Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

Wen Hui said: "That's what I said, I can't deserve anything." I've never been to the beach, so how can I know which port is good? In fact, these are not things that we can decide, naturally there are four princes, families, and princesses to decide. ”

Chen Wenlin thought about it and put it aside. Chen Wenhui continued: "Second brother, I bought some shops for my family these days here, and I didn't buy any other land or anything. I think it's still the shop to make money in Suzhou. Isn't it time for us to go home? It's been out for so long. I miss my father and my mother. ”

Chen Wenlin laughed, although his sister is peerlessly smart, she is a ten-year-old child after all. Of course I miss my parents. He said, "Then let's go home." Anyway, everything that needs to be done is done, and I have to rush to the capital when I go home to meet my parents. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "Yes, you have to tell the four princes about the situation." By the way, I remembered, it just so happened that you came back, do you remember the emperor's milk brother Ma Jingren? I ran into him, and he sent me a post the day before yesterday, asking me to go with Sister Mingzhu to visit his garden in Yangzhou. Just in time you're back, let's go shopping together. Then I went home from Yangzhou. What do you think? ”

Chen Wenlin wondered how Wen Hui could get Ma Jingren's invitation, and Wen Hui told him about the situation that day. Chen Wenlin said: "I understand, this Ma Jingren is a good person, I can probably see my sister's intelligence at a glance, and I think that my sister may become a royal person in the future." So make friends in advance now. By the way, sister, I was about to ask you. I can see that Zhao Chongyi has a love for you, although you are a girl, these words should not be said to you, but, I think you have always been assertive, or do you want to talk to you, and then see what you mean? ”

This Chen Wenhui was not surprised, after all, before parting that day, Zhao Chongyi made a special trip to confess to her. Wen Hui said generously: "Second brother, before they left, that stupid Zhao Chongyi told me, and I told him, I am too young now to be suitable for him, and I am not suitable for talking about this kind of thing." ”

Chen Wenlin was overjoyed and said: "Great, I've always been worried that my sister will like him too." It's just wonderful. ”

Wen Hui was very strange: "Isn't Zhao Chongyi your friend?" Why are you so happy, isn't it good for me to marry your best friend? ”

Chen Wenlin said: "If Zhao Chongyi's family is not so complicated, I must be very much in favor of you marrying him." We've been friends since we were kids, and in fact, he and the eldest brother are better, after all, they are closer in age. At that time, we were both concubines, and our identities were very embarrassing, and we were often bullied by those sisters-in-law in the capital, so we naturally helped each other, and finally became good friends, including the fourth brother. In fact, in terms of character, I am very optimistic about Brother Yi. He is a real person, talented, literary and strategic, and righteous, anyway, he is very good. Especially with me the temper. However, his home is too complicated, and that backyard is a mess. By the way, he is clean and self-conscious, and he has never had a concubine or anything like that. But his father and grandfather were concubines flying all over the sky, and it was very messy. ”

Wen Hui blushed and said, "Second brother, why are you talking about this?" ”

Chen Wenlin also felt that these should not be talked about by his young sister, which was to say bald lips for a while. Chen Wenlin was embarrassed for a while, suddenly remembered a question, and asked excitedly: "Sister, you don't like Brother Yi, do you like Brother Four?" Oh my God, what can I do? I know that women like the face of the fourth brother, what can I do? The fourth brother has two concubines in the family, the most important thing is that the fourth brother has already married a wife, or our eldest sister, what should I do? ”

Chen Wenlin was anxious, Wen Hui angrily raised his hand and knocked on the second brother's head: "What are you thinking about all day long?" Who likes that demon? It's really unlucky for a woman to like him, he is not destined to be a man with only one woman, I just don't like him if I'm blind. ”

Although Chen Wenlin was knocked on the head by his sister, he happily picked up his sister and turned around, saying: "Great, great, I know that my sister is the smartest, how can she have the same vision as ordinary women." Sure enough, it is worthy of my Chen Wenlin's sister. ”

Chen Wenhui was dizzy by Chen Wenlin, and after landing on the ground, she was angry and said, "Okay, second brother, are you really crazy?" Let's not talk about this, I'm still so young, where is the time to think about this? Now let's consider not going to Yangzhou for a while. ”

Chen Wenlin was in a good mood at this time, and said without hesitation: "Go, of course go, I have such a beautiful and smart sister who can go anywhere in the world." ”

Chen Wenhui rolled her eyes weakly.

The next day, Chen Wenlin, Chen Wenhui and Mingzhu went to Yangzhou City. It's a day's boat ride away. After arriving in Yangzhou City, Ma Jingren had already sent a housekeeper and a housekeeper's wife to the dock to pick them up.

After changing the carriage of the Ma family, Chen Wenhui and Mingzhu talked quietly. Mingzhu said: "Sister, didn't you say that this Ma Jingren is the emperor's milk brother?" It's really different, where are the servants and women of ordinary merchants' families, not to mention wearing silk and satin, their bearing and etiquette are not picky, neither humble nor arrogant, and they are also close to each other. That's what training is all about. I see, it's a little better than all of you. ”

Wen Hui was also looking at it carefully, and after hearing this, she laughed and said, "Sister, the seventh rank official in front of the prime minister, this is the emperor's milk brother, how many rank officials do you say?" Besides, if this Ma Jingren's mother can milk the emperor, it must be in the palace, Ma Jingren must have grown up with him in the palace, and he can't train servants? ”

Mingzhu said: "Yes, the palace is a place where the laws of the world are strict. When I was in the capital, my maternal grandfather's house invited a nurturing grandmother, who came out of the palace to teach my cousin who was going to get married. My mother even let me follow along, and it almost scared me to death. Fortunately, I came back later, or I really wouldn't have been able to escape. ”

Wen Hui's classic appearance immediately appeared in her mind, and she also shivered.

Mingzhu said again: "Sister, this Ma family's things are really low-key luxury, you still taught me this, you haven't seen it?" ”

Wen Hui said: "Why didn't you see it? Think about it, this Ma family is the largest salt merchant in Yangzhou, that is, the largest salt merchant in the Great Chu Dynasty, how rich is this? Although, I estimate that most of them must have been given to the emperor, but the leakage between the fingers is not comparable to ordinary people. Look at this carriage, it looks ordinary from the outside, but from the inside, it turns out to be a high-quality nanmu. There are also refreshments in this carriage, you look at the porcelain plates, this is the white porcelain of the Ru kiln, and this dim sum, this is the best mille-feuille cake, how good it is, ah, it melts in the mouth, but the skin is crispy and refreshing, it is really delicious. The cooking in my restaurant must be the first in the Great Chu Dynasty, but this dim sum is average. At least that's a far cry from that. ”

Mingzhu saw that Wen Hui had already eaten it, and she was busy eating a piece, but this piece was another variety, it should be osmanthus cake, with a sweet aroma, and it was really delicious. He said, "You try this, this is osmanthus cake, and this, this is plum blossom cake, and this, this is mung bean cake, and this, this should be puff pastry, oh my God, this little carriage is actually accompanied by such delicious snacks, well, choked, drink tea, tea is also very good." This Ma family is really extraordinary. The two little girls began to eat and drink at the same time, and by accident, they ate a round belly.

As he spoke, the carriage had stopped, and the housekeeper outside said, "Two girls, this has arrived, please get off the carriage." ”

Chen Wenhui and Mingzhu only reacted, they went to Mafu for a while, and they still had to eat, but how could they eat? Also, when the servants pack up the wagon, they find that the pastries are gone, what will they think? It's a shame.

ps：

It wasn't until this point that it came out.
