This time the banquet was very successful, after lunch, everyone said goodbye, most of these ladies by the habit of napping, many people want to go back to take a nap, Mrs. Chen Bai also has to take two daughters-in-law back, Chen Wenhui stayed for a while, said goodbye to everyone, sent these ladies out, each went home.

Chen Wenhui felt very tired, she was still not used to participating in this kind of gathering between ladies after all, and she felt that it was much harder than managing the city. So when everyone left, he went back to his main room, rested for a while, and when he woke up, it was already late, and when he asked, he knew that Zhao Chongyi had not come back, Chen Wenhui was a little strange, and asked someone to ask for snow, and went to Chen Wenhui's office and Yiranju together.

There, Chen Wenhui and Lang Xue looked at a few accounts together, Chen Wenhui dealt with some things about the construction of Taoist temples and the recruitment of people in Nanyang City, and Lang Xue dealt with some follow-up matters of today's banquet, such as those utensils were stored in the warehouse, how to deal with the chrysanthemums that had been enjoyed, and the gifts sent by the ladies of each family had to be recorded one by one, so that they would be good to repay favors in the future.

The two of them were busy with their own work, and they were busy for a while, and when it was almost time for dinner, Zhao Chongyi came back. As soon as he came back and changed his clothes, he came to Yiranju and saw his wife and sister looking at their own accounts, and couldn't help but laugh.

Chen Wenhui just took care of everything, stood up and asked, "Why did you go for so long today?" ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "Today, the prince stayed and I said a lot of things, so I came back late. I just came from the main room, and Mama Su said that the meal had been set. It's in the flower hall of the main house, let's go over and eat first. While eating, you told me how the banquet was going today. Get the snow, those accounts will be done in the evening, will you come back and get them? ”

Lang Xue hurriedly agreed, and went to the flower hall of the main house with her brother and sister-in-law to eat. During the banquet, Chen Wenhui and Lang Xue told Zhao Chongyi about the success of today's banquet. Especially when it comes to making Xue famous once, he has been recognized by many famous ladies and joined the poetry club. And was named a talented woman. It is appreciated by most of the ladies.

Zhao Chongyi was very happy after hearing this. said: "Langxue, you are really angry with your brother and sister-in-law." However, this is also thanks to Hui'er for your planning to make snow. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "I made a little effort. However, it is still talented in making snow itself. to be so smooth. But. I also learned a lot today. ”

After speaking, Chen Wenhui told her about selling Nanyang to these noble ladies. After speaking, Chen Wenhui concluded: "Look. Today, the eunuchs in the aristocratic circle of the capital can't sleep, and they must be discussing the matter of taking that road to Nanyang to make a fortune. Anyway, no matter which path they choose, we're all winners. With the addition of these nobles from Dachu, my Nanyang will definitely be able to develop more rapidly. ”

Zhao Chongyi laughed and said, "I knew that you didn't lose money." You have made such a grand banquet, you are buying flowers, you are feasting, you have spent so much money, how can you not earn it back a thousand times? ”

Chen Wenhui smiled proudly. There's really nothing wrong with choosing someone yourself. For what she does, she is always supportive, tolerant, and appreciative.

Lang Xue also figured it out and said, "I didn't know that my sister-in-law had done such a heavy thing." I and a few girls have been in the backyard to appreciate chrysanthemum poems, I didn't expect that after such a while, my sister-in-law will achieve such great achievements, I really admire, I still have a lot to learn in the future. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded and said: "You have to learn these things in the future, but in this regard, I am far from my mother, you will have to be free in the future, go to my mother's house more, get my mother's guidance, you will be inexhaustible." I'm going to go back to my parents' house tomorrow to discuss things with my parents, brother and sister-in-law. You might as well come with me. ”

Lang Xue hurriedly said: "That relationship is good." I like to go to Xiao Chen's house the most. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled.

Lang Xue said again: "However, the day after tomorrow, I have promised the girl of the Han family to be a guest at her house, and she will introduce several of her sisters to me." We have made an appointment to see the osmanthus flowers in their homes. ”

Chen Wenhui thought for a while and said, "I have an impression of the girl from the Han family, she looks good. There you go. Tomorrow, ask Mama Qian to follow, the Han family's family style is very positive, there should be no problem. You should bring a few more sets of clothes to change in, and also, prepare some more gifts. There is still an old lady in the Han family, and she wants an old lady to give gifts, and the five-room ladies of the Han family go around and give gifts. I'll tell Mama Qian to prepare these in a moment. You also bring more gifts, and when the time comes, you can reward the servants of the Han family and the maids around Miss Han. I also brought some more valuable things to give to a few girls of the Han family. By the way, it's not appropriate for the little girls to give too valuable. I have a new kind of silk flowers just made here, you take a few clips, how many girls in their family, each person will send a clip of silk flowers, twelve, many, and practical, the little girls like it the most. ”

Zhao Chongyi smiled and said: "You are careful and thoughtful, but you always say how about other people's little girls, and you are not a little girl yourself?" You're smaller than snow. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Although I am younger than her, I am also a sister-in-law. ”

Zhao Chongyi laughed.

After the meal, Rong Xue knew that her brother and sister-in-law had something to say, so she took the maids to continue the accounting.

Zhao Chongyi helped Chen Wenhui to the main room and sat down, Zhao Chongyi saw that there were only a few of Chen Wenhui's personal maids waiting around him, and there were no outsiders, so he said: "I went to the prince's mansion today, and the prince mentioned that he wanted me to go to the northwest again." Wen Hui, what do you think? ”

Chen Wenhui smiled slightly, this was in her consideration, she said: "We are courtiers, we will go wherever the prince tells us to go." However, I think, once along, the Northwest really needs us. Second, the crown prince and the emperor must think that my Nanyang is developing too fast, and they want to slow me down. ”

Zhao Chongyi said apologetically on his face: "Hey, I dragged you down." If it weren't for me, they wouldn't have been able to handle you. ”

Chen Wenhui hurriedly said, "What's the matter with you?" They are the imperial power, no matter how powerful our Xiao Chen family is, they can't deal with the imperial power? Even without you, they would have other tricks against me. Deal with our Xiao Chen family. It has always been a normal thing for a cunning rabbit to die and a lackey to cook. Our family has known this for a long time. ”

Zhao Chongyi nodded.

Chen Wenhui said: "However, it is impossible for them to want me to comply so easily, I want to talk to them about the conditions." Also, there's nothing wrong with going to the Northwest. I've long admired the light of the desert steppe, and I want to see it. Now there's a chance. Also, aren't they trying to slow me down? I'm going to build a fourth city for them now, speak with facts, and enclose the nobles in the capital, so that what else can they do, I want them to watch, not only will my pace not be slowed down, but also move faster. ”

Zhao Chongyi thought about it and couldn't help laughing. He knew that Chen Wenhui was not so easy to talk to, and it was not easy for the emperor and the crown prince to deal with her.

Chen Wenhui continued: "However, our Nanyang development is too fast. The reason why I am in such a hurry to build this fourth city is also to occupy the new island, so that I can complete the layout of my island chain in the South Seas. After the completion of the fourth city, it will enter a slow period, and Nanyang will need to settle for a few years. At this time, we went to the Northwest for a few years. When we come back from the northwest, just as the precipitation period of the South China Sea has also passed, we will go to the South China Sea again, at that time, the sky is high and the birds can fly, and the sea is wide and the fish jumps. ”

Zhao Chongyi looked at Chen Wenhui with appreciation, such a wise, wise, and broad-minded Chen Wenhui is his favorite.

Chen Wenhui was a little embarrassed by him, and asked, "You have been in the Prince's East Palace for so long, is there such a thing?" ”

Zhao Chongyi came back to his senses and said, "In addition to the matter of our trip to the northwest, the prince also told us about the recent affairs of the imperial court. The most important thing is that the eldest princess's health is getting worse and worse, and I heard that it has been a matter of the past few days. The eldest prince is mainly a stinger, and there is a national funeral. There are many things to prepare. In addition to this, the emperor's body is also getting worse and worse, and the prince is worried that once the eldest princess dies, the emperor's sadness will make the dragon body even worse. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded and said: "This is true, the eldest princess is the emperor's own sister, how many ups and downs have she experienced with the emperor, and how much has she contributed to the stability of the emperor's dynasty?" But it is said that it is the pillar of the country, once she is gone, there will be a great shock in the court, not to mention, the new eldest princess must also be selected early. The emperor's body will also be affected. If there is a case, the court will really be in turmoil. At that time, the prince needs you and Jingyuan even more. Of course, the queen mother will also support the prince, my father, and the Chen family will support the prince. ”

Zhao Chongyi nodded.

Chen Wenhui said: "If you don't have anything to do tomorrow, let's go back to my mother's house, meet my father, and talk about how to deal with the situation in the court in the future." I also have to discuss with my two brothers about the construction of Nanyang. ”

Zhao Chongyi nodded and said, "In this case, let's rest early." ”

Chen Wenhui couldn't help but blush, the two of them were newly married Yan'er, it was when they were in love, Zhao Chongyi wanted Chen Wenhui every night, Chen Wenhui was a little overwhelmed, and when she heard Zhao Chongyi say this again, she couldn't help but take a sip.

Zhao Chongyi smiled and pulled Chen Wenhui to the bed. Chen Wenhui's several maids who were waiting all smiled and walked out quickly. Leave a room of beauty. (To be continued......)
