Chapter 140: Knowledge
The next day, Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi went out early in the morning to a farm on the outskirts of the capital, accompanied by Zhao Chongli, a loyal and righteous duke, and his wife Han.
The two brothers, Zhao Chongli and Zhao Chongyi, have not seen each other for a long time, and they are very happy to meet. The two of them chatted together and rode horses, slowly walking towards the outside of the city.
Han and Chen Wenhui sat in Chen Wenhui's carriage.
Han said to Chen Wenhui with a smile: "The county lord went out to do things for the emperor this time, and he worked hard for so fast for half a year, but he did not damage his appearance, but became more and more delicate. ”
Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Sister-in-law praised it. I've been out of Beijing for so long, I don't know what's going on at home? ”
Han Shi understood and hurriedly said: "The family is still like that, originally, Yu Fei was ready to get married, but this is not just in time for the death of the emperor, naturally the people, and the noble family will stop marrying, which delays the marriage again." ”
Chen Wenhui smiled, originally, this sister-in-law was unconscious, and the Han family was probably looking forward to sending the sister-in-law out of the door, but this time it was a national funeral, there was no way, and it had to be dragged back, there was really no way to get angry.
Chen Wenhui said: "Although Yufei sometimes has no brains and is a little arrogant, after all, it is a girl's family, but the sister-in-law spends a little more silver, gives her a few more sets of jewelry, makes a few more clothes, and allows her to go to more parties." If she is busy, she won't be naughty at home. ”
The Zhao family was originally a wealthy family, but later Zhao Chongyi got married, and he didn't spend any money on the family, saving the Han family. Later, Zhao Chongli followed Chen Wenhui's eldest brother to fight in the Wa Kingdom. Although the time is short. The Wa Kingdom was pacified, but Zhao Chongli also made a lot of money, and life in the house was even better.
Therefore, Han also agreed with Chen Wenhui's idea, Han knew Chen Wenhui's temper and didn't like to beat around the bush, so he said directly: "What the county lord said is very true." You also know that our grandfather followed the eldest brother of the county lord, Chen Dacheng, in the Wa Kingdom. The war went. This time, the grandfather has gained a lot, and Lord Chen is also a generous person. Thank you so much. Now that the family has money, I have bought more properties. There are those around the capital. There are Jiangnan's. There are also some industries in Nanyang, and some industries have also been purchased in the Wa Kingdom, and people have been sent to manage them. These industries also make a lot of money every year. It's no problem to give Yu Fei some more expenses. ”
It seems that Zhao Chongli gained fame and fortune during the trip to the Japanese Kingdom, Chen Wenhui said with a smile: "My eldest brother, my father wrote to me and said that I would like to thank my grandfather and eldest brother for helping us pacify the Japanese Kingdom so quickly." The sister-in-law is well-known for being virtuous and able to run the family, so it is very safe to turn those floating wealth into an industry, so that she can accumulate the family business. With money, it doesn't hurt to spend more. By the way, we're about to leave the city, so I wonder how my parents have been doing lately? ”
Han said: "When my father died of the emperor, he was sad for a long time. I have always been blessed with those two Japanese chefs before. ”
Speaking of this, Han Shi looked at Chen Wenhui's face and found that Chen Wenhui had no expression at all, so he had to continue: "At that time, my mother-in-law didn't quarrel with my father less, and the trouble in Zhuangzi was not very decent. We can't interject either. Later, something happened to her mother-in-law's mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law was even more anxious and had a serious illness. After her mother-in-law recovered, the emperor died. Where does my father still have the heart to spoil his concubine? I don't have the heart to quarrel with my mother. My mother is a wife, and I have to go to the palace every day to cry and mourn, so naturally I don't have time to quarrel with my father. “
Chen Wenhui wanted to laugh a little, but held back.
Han continued: "Later, after the national funeral, my father was in a bad mood all the time, and he looked a lot older, and he didn't care about the concubines in the backyard, and my mother naturally got a lot better. I'm busy with my mother's affairs, and I can't care about going to the capital to find fault with me. “
The sister-in-law can talk like this, Chen Wenhui can't help but be a little surprised, you know, Han is a well-known good wife and mother, and she has never said bad things about her mother-in-law outside, this time she said this, and she really hated the annoying Mrs. Zhao. Second, Han knew that Chen Wenhui and Mrs. Zhao had a lot of grievances, that is, the troubles of Mrs. Zhao's mother's family were all caused by the Chen family. Therefore, she deliberately said this in front of Chen Wenhui, so as to show that she was on the same front as Chen Wenhui.
Chen Wenhui is still very satisfied with Han's behavior of showing goodwill. It seems that the last time I gave my eldest brother Zhao Chongli two concubines from the Japanese Kingdom, the Han family learned to be obedient.
Regarding Han's journey, Chen Wenhui was very happy and said: "Maybe today, my mother-in-law will not embarrass us when she sees us?" ”
For Chen Wenhui's intimate tone, Han secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Chen Wenhui didn't care about the previous things and began to restore the relationship with Han. That's a good thing.
Now Chen Wenhui and his wife are different from before. In the past, her husband was the prince of the house, and she was the wife of the prince, Zhao Chongyi was just a concubine who was bullied by her mother-in-law, and she and her husband took care of Zhao Chongyi is love.
However, now, Zhao Chongyi is no longer the concubine who was bullied by his mother-in-law. Not to mention that his Yue family is the prominent Xiao Chen family, just to say that his friend is now the emperor, he knows that the future is Zhao Chongyi's world.
As for Zhao Chongli, although he is loyal and righteous, he has a general relationship with the emperor, and he is still stained with Zhao Chongyi's light, so he has slowly begun to grasp some real power from an idle noble. After returning from the Wa Kingdom, the emperor praised the loyal and righteous family, rewarded some things, and transferred Zhao Chongli to serve in the Imperial Forest Army, becoming a guard to protect the Son of Heaven.
Therefore, Han knows very well that now is the time for his husband and wife to rely on Zhao Chongyi and his wife to take care of them. At this time, it is necessary to bow your head when it is time to bow your head. In addition, Chen Wenhui's methods, she has also experienced it, and if she was a little unsatisfactory, she sent two concubines from the Japanese Kingdom over, which gave the Han family a headache for a while.
Han didn't want that to happen a second time. In addition to this, Han also knows that her mother-in-law has been hit harder than her. Not only did there be two more beautiful and noble concubines in the backyard, but her mother's family was also hit hard, and it looked like it was about to be cleared out of the capital. Han didn't want to follow in her mother-in-law's footsteps.
Therefore, Han's overture was accepted by Chen Wenhui, and Han's heart was happy.
Han then told Chen Wenhui in detail about some things about Mrs. Zhao. For example, what happened to her mother's family, how she was excluded now, how she fought with those concubines in the backyard, and what was the attitude of the old loyal and righteous father.
And the most important thing, the luxurious and beautiful manor that the emperor began to build for the old Zhongyi Gong was finally built, and the old Zhongyi Gong also moved in. Because this place is vast, Lao Zhongyi arranged a spacious and beautiful residence for each concubine, which made Mrs. Zhao angry with her teeth.
Chen Wenhui pursed her lips and smiled: "Such a beautiful manor, we have to appreciate it today." ”
Han Shi hurriedly said: "I have already seen it when I went to help my mother-in-law move, and it is indeed ingenious and beautiful. The place is big, and it is more luxurious than the Zhongyi Mansion in our capital, but it is not as luxurious as the county lord's mansion. ”
Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "That's good near the capital." However, my father couldn't enjoy such a beautiful manor for long. ”
When Han Shi heard this, he was surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Why is this?" "According to the meaning of the emperor, this Zhuangzi is for the old loyal and righteous fathers to support the elderly. The old loyal and righteous prince will not have much time to come out of this Zhuangzi in his life. Although this Zhuangzi is beautiful, it is equivalent to a golden cage built by the royal family for the old Zhongyigong, who only wastes his ambition here in order to show his loyalty. It is said that it is impossible to come out until the old loyal and righteous man dies. But why did the county lord say this? His father-in-law is still in good health, and according to Han's opinion, there should be no problem if he lives for another twenty years.
Chen Wenhui smiled and told the emperor about the emperor's intention to let the old loyal and righteous prince go to Nanyang.
Han was shocked. Although this matter has been said for a long time, the first emperor said it, but at that time, the first emperor did not agree, and now, the emperor has ascended the throne, and he is really a friend of Zhao Chongyi, and he has no suspicion of the Zhao family, and he is actually going to use his father-in-law.
That's a big deal. First, his husband has a good position and has gained a foothold in the capital, and second, his father-in-law went to Nanyang to grasp the military power, so the Zhao family can be brilliant again. Third, after the father-in-law leaves, the mother-in-law will definitely not live alone in the farm, and when the time comes, I am afraid that she will have to return to the mansion to live. Wouldn't he have an extra boss?
For a while, Han's heart was mixed, and he had no interest in speaking.
Chen Wenhui understood Han's thoughts, and did not bother, just at this time, the carriage had already left the capital, and when it reached the suburbs, there were not so many people, and it had begun to gallop. Chen Wenhui rested on the pillow, last night, she was troubled by Zhao Chongyi for a long time, and she was really tired.
Because the carriage ran fast, and in addition, now Lao Zhongyi lived not in the manor of the Zhao family, but the manor given by the emperor, which was still closer to the capital, so they quickly arrived at this manor. There is a hot spring in the manor, which is very pleasant, so the emperor specially gave this manor a name, Yijing Garden.
Chen Wenhui arrived at Yijing Garden, and now she has taken a look, and it is really a very good place, with mountains and rivers in the background, quiet scenery and elegant architecture. What a place to go. It's just that this Zhuangzi will soon be uninhabited, but it's a pity, maybe, you can take advantage of it, Chen Wenhui had an idea in his mind. (To be continued......)
