Chapter 281: Foresight
Wen Hui smiled and said, "Can't you come to visit your father if you're fine?" ”
Chen Yuanheng smiled and said, "Of course you can come, it's just that I can see that you must have something to ask me." As I mean, I'm going to tell you about it. ”
After saying that, let the people who were waiting around him go out.
Wen Hui said: "What does my father say? ”
Chen Yuanheng said: "That is, what you want to ask, do you want to ask me about the negotiation with the Bai family?" ”
Wen Hui smiled and clapped her hands and said: "Father is really good, I guessed it right at once, I think it must have been a very smooth negotiation, otherwise my father would not be so happy." ”
Chen Yuanheng laughed and said, "You are really smart." Yes, the negotiations went smoothly. The Bai family is very refreshing, in fact, as long as it is a member of the family, the people from the clan land are shrewd and capable, and these families in the capital are stupid and incompetent, and the four families are like this, and I don't know what's wrong? ”
Wen Hui said: "Because there is no danger in the capital and you enjoy the glory, you will naturally be slack, and your ability will naturally decline." The clan has to fight every year in the land, defend against aliens, and live in danger all the time, which is definitely progressive. ”
Chen Yuanheng said: "I think so too, so I plan to let the descendants return to the clan land." Although it is dangerous there, the future generations can maintain the ability to be smart and capable, if they stay in the capital for a long time, relying on the glory of their ancestors to eat and wait for death, they will naturally raise wine bags and rice bags. ”
Wen Hui nodded.
Chen Yuanheng continued: "Bai Yujing and Bai Jiayuan are very smart, and they immediately saw the benefits of developing cotton cultivation in the northwest for them, and they are trying their best to promote this matter, but it is far from here to the northwest, and it will take time to go back and forth before the negotiation can be successful, Lan Shanghan is very happy, his cotton cloth business is about to double." Can you not be happy? ”
Wen Hui said: "These are all expected, how about Liu Yan's appearance? ”
Chen Yuanheng said: "The Four Princes are really geniuses and are the material of an emperor. At a glance, he could see how much benefit this place could bring him, and he immediately put Bai Yujing in an important position. After announcing to the house, the affairs of the house will be managed by Bai Yujing, and now your lobby sister should hate me even more. ”
Liu Yan is really such a person, and women are just his tools to him. Wen Hui said: "What about hate? It's that she can't see clearly, if it really happens in the future, she really won't take me seriously, what's the use of such a person helping her? ”
Chen Yuanheng said: "People have no long-term concerns, but they must have near-term worries." If it can really be done in the future, the fourth prince will do that position, and your lobby sister will be the queen, and that is a position where people can roll their heads with an order. And also. She has given birth to a grandson, this is still the first grandson of the emperor, the emperor is very happy, rewarded a large number of things, and crowned him as the prince. Her position is already unshakable. ”
Wen Hui smiled and said, "That's not necessarily. The queen of the first emperor is not the crown princess, besides, when Liu Yan becomes the crown prince, who is the crown princess is not certain? ”
Chen Yuanheng said: "That's the truth, but." She is the one who has a son now? ”
Wen Hui was about to speak, but Chen Yuanheng continued: "If Bai Yujing also has a child, then we won't count her child, this is the child of the Bai family?" ”
Chen Wenhui said: "Bai Yujing can only cooperate, but she can't be promoted, otherwise wouldn't we be busy for the Bai family?" I have one more candidate. ”
Chen Yuanheng asked, "Who?" ”
Chen Wenhui smiled mysteriously: "Wang Yaozhen." ”
Chen Yuanheng smiled: "I know that Yaozhen is your good friend, and besides, Yaozhen is also pregnant." But first, her status is still too low, just a concubine, it would be better if she was a side concubine. And her background is still too low, and her father is just a merchant. ”
Chen Wenhui said: "I am a concubine now, and it will become a thing in the future, so I can become a good woman by virtue of giving birth to a child, and I can become a concubine in the future." The position of the concubine is not low. Also, she was born as a merchant, but Wan Guifei back then, Concubine Wan De now, the emperor's favorite concubine, and the biological mother of the third prince, what kind of background is that? ”
Chen Yuanheng was shocked, indeed, he didn't expect this, but he was too narrow-minded, and he always considered things from the perspective of the Chen family first. Chen Wenhui is different, Chen Wenhui has been in Jiangnan since she walked through, she really has no sense of belonging to the distant Chen family, and now she says that some of them are all made hard by her own family, and she treats Feiguang Yinhong They all feel closer than the Chen family in the capital and the clan land. Therefore, she will not consider the problem from the perspective of the Chen family, and she will consider how to maximize the interests of her family.
Wang Yaozhen was born in the Wang family, this Wang family was picked up by Chen Yuanheng, this Wang family is Chen Yuanheng's affiliated small family, which is equivalent to his own people, so Wang Yaozhen is equivalent to Chen Yuanheng's family, so why bother to praise Chen Wenfeng, the daughter of the Chen family who looks down on her father? There are people in your own family, why should you praise others?
Chen Yuanheng began to think carefully. Chen Wenhui knew that this was a decision-making thing, and this tone was certain, and many plans would have to be changed in the future. Chen Wenhui said goodbye and left, leaving her father to think for himself.
Chen Wenhui went home by herself, and she was about to return to Shanghai City, and she really had a lot of things to bring. Chen Wenhui thought about it, when she came back this time, she already had a few friends who asked her to help. A Yaozhen wants to buy a shop in Shanghai, a Caiyu wants to buy a house in Shanghai, a pearl wants to sell tea, and a Qiaozhen wants to sell porcelain, which is really a lot of things. But this also reflects several things. First, the reputation of Shanghai City has been played, and everyone has the intention of going to Shanghai City to do business. This is a good thing, it seems that the city of Shanghai is really going to prosper. The more prosperous the better, so that you can make more money.
The second is that he is becoming more and more important in the minds of his friends, everyone used to look at Chen Yuanheng's face, but now, everyone values his own duties in Shanghai City more. It can be seen that rights are very useful, at least to help friends.
Third, friends are divided. Some friends are getting closer and closer because of their common values, while others are getting farther and farther apart, or even becoming enemies. For example, Yingyu originally had a good relationship with Wen Hui, but now because of the relationship between her mother-in-law's family, she has become estranged. There is also Shuyu, who directly became an enemy.
Chen Wenhui sighed with emotion and fell asleep. Life is colorful because of change.
The next day, Wen Hui got up early in the morning and ordered someone to hand over a post to the palace, first, to visit the princess Chen Wenfeng and Xiao Shizi, and second, to negotiate with Bai Yujing.
The palace soon sent someone to invite it. Wen Hui went to visit Chen Wenfeng with gifts.
Chen Wenfeng treats her very kindly, without the previous arrogance, but Chen Wenhui is perfunctory with Chen Wenfeng, but she doesn't believe Chen Wenfeng at all in her heart, Wen Hui is not an ordinary eleven-year-old girl, Chen Wenhui is a person who is almost forty years old together in two lifetimes, how can you not understand that people like Wenfeng, when they use you, they are very kind, and when they don't use it, they will have a temperament. This kind of person has a pride in her bones, and looks down on these people who are lower than her.
Chen Wenhui gave Xiao Shizi a gift, a red gold collar inlaid with precious stones, several pairs of gold mules, and two teams of red gold inlaid gemstone bracelets and anklets. Wen Feng didn't expect Wen Hui to be so generous, it seems that it makes sense for Liu Yan to take a fancy to her. The attitude towards Wen Hui became more and more kind.
How does she know, where can these things be in Chen Wenhui's eyes now, in Chen Wenhui's box, there is a big push of these things, they are all exactly the same, they have been bought a long time ago, and they are ready to be given away. After all, now Wen Hui is a character on the scene, and these human relations are indispensable.
Wen Hui exchanged a few words with the lobby sister, and then found an excuse to see Bai Yujing.
Bai Yujing is a generous person, the room is arranged sparsely and generously, it doesn't look like a woman's boudoir at all, the most conspicuous thing is that there are bows and arrows hanging in the room, Wen Hui asked: "Sister Bai, you still have bows and arrows here, do you still shoot arrows?" ”
Bai Yujing smiled and said, "Let my sister see and laugh." Our people in the northwest are not as weak as the people of the Central Plains, and we men and women can bend bows and shoot arrows. I'm not good at archery, it's just for fun. ”
In a few words, Wen Hui yearns for these mysterious clans even more. Wen Hui said: "I also heard my father talk about it, but unfortunately I didn't grow up in the clan land, I was born in the capital, grew up in the south of the Yangtze River, here are all about what kind of woman is not talented is virtuous, it sounds angry, not to mention learning martial arts, even it is difficult to recognize a word." I didn't like that, and my mother found me a master to learn martial arts, but I am not yet old, and the master said that I must be twelve years old to learn horseback riding, archery, and swordsmanship. I really envy my sister. ”
Bai Yujing's eyes flashed when she heard this, she didn't expect Wen Hui to like this, at this time, Bai Yujing's maid came over with a tray, Bai Yujing smiled and said, "Oh, how did I know that my sister likes these?" I've got a welcome gift for my sister here. At Mingzhu's wedding last time, I didn't prepare a meeting gift for my sister when I saw him in a hurry, which was really rude. Now make up for it, don't dislike it. ”
Wen Hui thanked her and opened it to see that it was a very delicate and exotic set of jewelry, a total of nine sets, and the gems inlaid on it were all large.
Bai Yujing said: "These are the ones I brought from the Western Regions, only the Western Regions have such a big gem, and I don't think those gems in the Central Plains are bright enough or big enough." You can look at it. However, I see that you like to learn martial arts so much, and I have something for you. ”
After speaking, he said a word to the maid, and the maid brought a delicate little silver knife. The edge of the knife is also inlaid with many precious stones, and it looks gorgeous. When I opened it, a pool of blue water shone on people's eyebrows, and it turned out to be a high-grade knife.
Wen Hui couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Fusu passed on the forging technique to the Bai family back then? Why is this knife so well made?

The second update, today's exam, I don't know how it is, please bless me.
