Chapter Ninety-Six: Landscape Dwelling

Chen Wenhui took Mei Ying to sit in the carriage. Mei Ying looked at the carriage and had to say that the people of the Chen family were very good at enjoying it. When she was in the capital, Mei Ying discovered that the Chen family's carriages were all produced by the Swift Wind Hall, which were not only spacious, but also comfortable, and they were all equipped with something called a spring. It's not as bumpy as a normal horse-drawn carriage.

Not to mention, the people of the Chen family are very low-key, the outside of the carriage is ordinary, but the inside is really comfortable, and the mattress made of brocade cotton bales is soft, smooth and beautiful. There were also small tables, small cabinets, all nailed to the carriage and not shaking at all. There are books, portable pen, ink, paper, inkstone, small plates, small bowls, pastries, and insulated tea. It's so enjoyable. Mrs. Mei followed her back to the carriage of the Chen family and fell in love, but unfortunately the cost of such a carriage was too high, and Mrs. Mei could not afford it at all.

Now Mei Ying is sitting in Chen Wenhui's carriage and finds that it is even better than the carriage in the capital. There is no bump at all, the carriage in the capital is still a little stiff, this carriage is really comfortable. Mei Ying was a little surprised.

Chen Wenhui immediately noticed it and said, "Second sister-in-law, but do you think this carriage is actually more comfortable than the carriage in the capital Swift Wind Hall?" ”

Mei Ying hurriedly said: "Yes, but you have made improvements again?" ”

Chen Wenhui smiled: "You must have been in contact with the people of the Hei family, and you know that I have a lot of new ideas, and I always change the things around me." I made a change. Not only did the carriage have springs, but it also had wheels made of stainless steel, and a ring of tires around the wheels. This is probably the world's first tire, right? I had to study these things for three years before I could study them. Now there's only one of them. But. This one is made of rubber. In the future, the rubber trees we planted will be able to harvest rubber, and this thing will be popularized. At that time, many people will be able to sit in such a comfortable carriage. The carriages of those dignitaries in the capital are going to be replaced with new ones. This should bring us a lot of income. ”

Mei Ying frowned and said, "Rubber? But it's something from a rubber tree. My second brother said that our four cities are encouraging people to grow rubber. Anyone who grows rubber trees can get more loans, right? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Yes, this thing is produced by rubber trees. However, in general, it takes six or seven years for rubber trees to be harvested. Now the first batch has only been planted for two or three years, and it is still early to be harvested. But. I had a lot of wild rubber trees found. I cut some rubber and asked the children of the Hei family to study it, and they studied it for three years before they made this tire. So. Now only my carriage has it. Wait for the future. When our rubber trees mature, we can make more tires. At that time, it was time for the carriage revolution. ”

Mei Ying couldn't help but admire and said, "Hui'er." It's really impressive how you have so many ideas. ”

Chen Wenhui laughed and said: "It's nothing, in fact, I'm a very simple person, I just want to enjoy and like to make money." Actually, another reason why we are so comfortable in this carriage now is that the road I built for you in Tianshui City is very good. In fact, these roads have been almost repaired by the second brother, but in the past six months, I have improved them again, because the road surface is smoother than the road surface in the capital, so the carriage is more comfortable to sit on. By the way, I said that I would introduce you to Tianshui City, let's open the curtain and look outside, and I'll tell you. After that, you will be alone most of the time. You have to be as familiar as possible. ”

Mei Ying hesitated.

Chen Wenhui said: "This is not the capital, this is Nanyang, there are not so many rules, here you and the second brother have the largest official positions, and the whole city is yours." What's the point of lifting a curtain? Listen to the eldest brother and the second brother, in the clan land of the Chen family in our northeast, the daughter of the Chen family is not only a housekeeper, but also can go to the battlefield to fight. ”

This Chen Wenlin told Mei Ying. Therefore, Mei Ying decisively opened the curtain. The carriage is galloping, and the scenery outside is very good, a tropical idyllic scenery. Chen Wenhui kept introducing.

The speed of the carriage was very fast, and it didn't take long for it to enter the city, and the city was a prosperous scene, which was different from what Mei Ying had imagined before. This city is much smaller than the capital, but the density of this population is not small at all. However, the streets are clean, neat, and smooth, and there are various fruit trees planted on both sides of the street, and the smell of flowers and fruits wafts in. The houses on the roadside are very neat, and I heard that they are all built uniformly, and then the people only need to pay for them.

There are many shops and pedestrians on the street, but they are all in a hurry. Mei Ying felt that the city was very vibrant, and she immediately fell in love with this beautiful city.

When she arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, Chen Wenhui said: "Second sister-in-law, let's not get out of the car, the City Lord's Mansion is too big, we will be very tired, or sit in the car, take a lap from the main road, I will introduce it to you, as for the future, it will be your and the second brother's own business." ”

Mei Ying hurriedly agreed. But in my heart, I was thinking, is this mansion bigger than the mansion of the Xiao Chen family in the capital? The mansion of Xiao Chen's family in the capital also covers an area of 30 acres. But on weekdays, I only walk, and I don't ride in a carriage.

However, before she could ask this question, Mei Ying was attracted by this beautiful mansion. This mansion is actually like a large park, renovated on the basis of the original waterholes, lakes, and hills, and it would be a big price if the rocks were stacked into mountains and ponds were dug into lakes like in the capital. Fortunately, when this mansion was first selected, there was a hill in it and a small lake. The master of the black family, according to the natural appearance, trimmed the hill, replanted flowers and trees, paved the road, and dug a cave, and that's it. As for the lake, it's even simpler. Just clean the lake, then trim the shore, use stones to build up the patchwork, build some embankments, pavilions, and plant flowers and trees, and it's done. Then draw the water out and walk around the garden in a zigzag circle, can this scenery be bad? This big scenery must be good, that is, around these scenes, planting trees, paving roads, planting flowers, and covering yards, halls, pavilions and pavilions of various scenery. Now the main part has been completed.

Mei Ying immediately liked the place. At this time, although it is already the wax moon, the tropical climate is still very warm, and many flowers are blooming, and the scene of spring flowers is even more overjoyed.

Chen Wenhui explained to her while enjoying the scenery, and finally said: "Now, the main part has been built, and you can all live in it now." I've got you covered with the furnishings. If you don't like it, you can change it later, and it's very easy. It's just that I'm a good person, but the level of naming is really poor. I didn't even name the names of the pavilions and pavilions. I think you are from a scholarly family, and my second brother is also full of poetry and books, you enjoy the beautiful scenery in the garden in your leisure time, while chanting poems against each other, and get these names and couplets right, it doesn't take anything, I don't want to worry about it. ”

Mei Ying smiled and said, "No wonder your second brother always says that you like to be lazy." ”

Chen Wenhui said with a smile: "My second brother must have said bad things about me, don't listen to him." He saw that I was good with my sister-in-law, and I helped my sister-in-law take care of my eldest brother to death, so he was scared, so he separated us, afraid that if the two of us joined forces again, he would end up like the eldest brother. We don't care about him, the two of us belong to the sister-in-law, but we hit it off at first sight, you are also a cool person, and I am also a straight intestine. We will dissolve the alliance now, not only will we form an alliance, but if you want to stay in Xinguang City for so long, you must get along well with your sister-in-law, then the three of us will form an alliance, and in the future, we will govern the Chen family together. ”

Mei Ying hurriedly said: "Listen to you." ”

At this time, Chen Wenlin had already rushed to the carriage and said, "Listen to Wen Hui for everything?" ”

Chen Wenhui looked outside, it turned out that she had already arrived at the main courtyard, and said: "Second sister-in-law, you and your eldest brother have arrived in the main courtyard, I gave this a name first, called Shanshui Ju, what do you think, if it is not good, change it." ”

Mei Ying hurriedly followed Chen Wenhui out of the carriage, and said, "Why is it not good, it couldn't be more appropriate." I like the name, it's much better than those palaces, and it's very elegant. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "If you like it, it's fine." Now my task of introducing the scenery is complete. Let's go to your main house and deal with the government affairs that have been piling up for a while. Second brother, you also come here, during this period of time, I have made some reforms to Tianshui City, and now I want to talk to you. Because you have been delayed in Xinguang City for a long time, I still have a lot of things to do in Qingchun City, so I can only accompany you for five more days and explain the things at hand clearly, and I will go back to Qingchun City. ”

Chen Wenlin hurriedly said: "No, no, five days is too little, why do you have to teach your second sister-in-law." Your second sister-in-law has very little experience in politics, and she is not familiar with the affairs of Tianshui City, so you have to teach for at least a month. ”

Chen Wenhui immediately jumped up and said, "Second brother, what do you think?" It's been a month, and it's been the end of the New Year. Didn't you say that my parents were going to my Qingchun City for the New Year this year? There are also Liu Jingyuan's brother, Mingzhu's sister, as well as the eldest brother and sister-in-law. Even if I don't care about the affairs of Qingchun City, I have to prepare to welcome them? ”

Chen Wenlin thought about it and said a little embarrassed: "This is true, but five days is too little." So let's do it for twenty days. In this way, you can go back and have three or two days to prepare for the New Year. ”

Chen Wenhui jumped up again and said, "Three or two days? Will my parents come on the day of the Chinese New Year? Don't come early? Okay, let's not talk to you anymore, just ten days. ”

Chen Wenlin calculated, it was okay, and he could only agree.

Mei Ying couldn't stop laughing at this strange brother and sister. (To be continued......)
