In the next few days, Chen Wenhui has been entertaining the official eunuch families in Jiangnan, famous families, and those ladies and girls. Of course, the gift is soft.

Among them, the gifts sent by the Wen family are the most precious. The Wen family received a promise from Chen Wenhui, who was passed back from the Wen family, and, within two days, officials from Nanyang came over and signed an agreement with the Wen family. really gave the management rights of Huzhou Province and Heyang Province, which are the top silk in the South Seas, to the Wen family. This really made the Wen family overjoyed.

In addition to being happy, the Wen family not only further thanked the Wen family for marrying a daughter, but also sent Chen Wenhui a thank you gift that the Wen family had prepared a long time ago through the Wen family.

When the Wen family sent the thank you gift prepared by the Wen family to Chen Wenhui, Chen Wenhui couldn't help but be moved. Because the Wen family prepared too richly. There are 500,000 taels of silver tickets alone. 100 pieces of fine silk with fresh patterns in the south of the Yangtze River, 100 pieces of yarn with fresh patterns, and 100 horses of high-quality water light silk, which is a specialty of Huzhou and has been newly developed. It's very beautiful, and it looks like waves of water from a distance.

In addition to these, there are also 20 precious pictures of the former dynasty. Chen Wenhui couldn't help but admire the Wen family, this is really capable, because these twenty ancient paintings can't be bought with money. It takes a lot of effort to collect. For this, Chen Wenhui was very satisfied, and let the water lotus solemnly collect it. Think about it, there are some new things to add to the calligraphy and painting hall in the capital, and with these things, I think that my teacher, Master Qiu, will definitely smile.

In addition to the huge value of the Wen family, the Lan family and the Cao family are counted. The things sent are the most valuable, but the Lan family pays tribute to the Xiao Chen family every year, so they don't send silver tickets. Because the Cao family had already sent 300,000 taels of silver tickets before, they did not send silver tickets this time. However, the things sent by these two companies are very precious things, and the value is also huge.

Zhao Chongyi also laughed at Chen Wenhui once, saying that Chen Wenhui returned with a full load.

Here, Chen Wenhui and her sisters said goodbye, and finally left the Jiangnan where spring flowers bloomed when the grass grew and the warbler flew. Ride the boat slowly and leisurely towards the capital.

And the results of Zhao Chongyi's investigation. It was already sent to the capital as soon as possible, and the emperor Liu Yan in the capital soon had a will. Gangnam will be cleaned this spring.

At the bow of the boat, Zhao Chongyi and Chen Wenhui are enjoying the beautiful scenery on the shore. Zhao Chongyi said: "We have two days to reach the capital. There was also a great tremor in the capital. Because this time the events in Jiangnan officialdom also have an impact on the officialdom in the capital. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "This time the emperor's action is really huge, and. It was faster than I thought. However, after this incident, the officialdom of the capital and the situation in the palace have changed dramatically. When we returned to the capital, we were probably in the middle of a whirlpool. ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "Yes, the fire in the south of the Yangtze River has begun to burn to the capital. At this time, we went back, we were in the cracks, I was not good at dealing with these, Keihara wrote to me, saying that he was anxious, I don't want to do this, so, I thought, after we go back, we should hurry up and prepare to go to the northwest, to avoid this whirlpool? ”

Chen Wenhui was overjoyed and said, "You just happened to be with me." Let's just say so. When I go back, I'm going to go to the northwest. Actually, there is nothing to prepare for. I estimate that a month after returning to the capital, we will probably be ready, and we can go to the northwest. After all, I've done a lot of work upfront. ”

Zhao Chongyi happily held Chen Wenhui's little hand and said, "I am really blessed to have found such a virtuous and capable wife." ”

Chen Wenhui said: "It's good if you don't dislike me for being too capable." Most men in this world can't tolerate women's abilities. ”

Zhao Chongyi laughed and said, "But my friends around me like capable women." For example, my two brothers-in-law, and Keihara, of course, first of all, my father-in-law. ”

Chen Wenhui couldn't help but laugh when she thought about it.

When the two were in love, Mingzhu came out of the cabin and said, "You two are really in love." ”

Chen Wenhui blushed with shame. Zhao Chongyi was thick-skinned, and Chen Wenhui hurriedly beckoned Mingzhu to talk together.

Mingzhu looked at the spring light on the shore and said: "When I think of returning to the capital, I can see my mother and my children, and I can't wait, but when I think of the chaos in the capital, especially the chaos in the palace, I have a headache. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said: "No, you are my lobby sister, the person that the queen mother relies on, and she relies on you for many palace affairs, just like the queen mother trusted my mother at the beginning." ”

Mingzhu smiled bitterly and said, "I haven't returned to the capital yet, and the letter from the capital has arrived." The Queen Mother gave me a handwritten letter. In the letter, she hoped that I would go back and help her. The palace is now in chaos. Li Chongyi's maiden family reached mold, and the Li family of Jiangnan scholars was exterminated by the emperor. It's different from the Wang family's affairs. The affairs of the Wang family did not involve other officials and Concubine Wang Xian in the palace. However, the Li family is full of peach and plums all over the world, and the Li family has the most people implicated, and there are many officials in the Jiangnan officialdom and even in the Beijing officialdom who are implicated, either demoted, transferred, or dismissed, and even if the circumstances are serious, they are also exterminated. Li Chongyi in the palace was also given white silk by the emperor. ”

"Li Chongyi's death put everyone in the palace in danger. In the past, Concubine Wang Xian's mother's family had an accident, but Concubine Wang Xian still sealed the concubine and was not implicated. This made the palace concubines feel that their mother's family could not threaten them even if something happened, but Li Chongyi's death made them realize that an accident in their mother's family would also affect them, do you say they would be afraid. Afraid, he began to mess around and take refuge in the mountains in order to protect himself. Therefore, the palace is also a mess. ”

Chen Wenhui asked: "This situation just makes the queen mother accept a few more people, why is it bad?" ”

Mingzhu smiled bitterly and said, "You have always been indifferent to the affairs in the palace. When Li Chongyi came from the county king's mansion, he took refuge with the queen's mother. For so many years, the reason why Li Chongyi relied on the identity of an unfavored concubine in the palace, later in the East Palace, and then entered the palace to live very well, isn't it all the reason why the queen mother takes care of her? Now, something happened to Li Chongyi's family, and Li Chongyi was also given white silk, can the queen's face look good? ”

Chen Wenhui frowned, as if there was such a thing. She thought about it and said, "Sister Mingzhu, Li Shuyu's family won't be a gift for the queen, right?" ”

Mingzhu saw that there were no outsiders here, so she had to say: "It's not easy to live in the palace. In the past, the queen took care of the entire palace, and she had to confront Concubine Ma Shu and Bai Guifei from time to time, and there was a very rich concubine at home, Wang Yaozhen. You said that the queen mother was forced to spend more money. Later, when I arrived at the East Palace, it cost more. It wasn't until after the queen mother was canonized and in charge of the six palaces that the situation was better. Before this, half of the queen's money was provided by the Li family. You say, can you not protect the Li family? Can you not protect Li Shuyu? ”

Chen Wenhui sneered and said, "My lobby sister is also a fool. Our Chen family's daughter-in-law still has to rely on the support of a local academy family, and it is really a shame for our Chen family to say it. She's short of money, can't she tell my parents? Our Xiao Chen family is better than the Li family's academy when they pluck their hair casually. Our Xiao Chen family's money is much cleaner than the money of the Li family's academy. Li Family Academy, a small academy, a scholarly family, where did the money come from? With a little brain, you can know that this money is not a good way to come, and this kind of money will cause trouble sooner or later. It's stupid. ”

Mingzhu smiled bitterly and said: "No, I have persuaded the queen mother countless times before, and the queen mother also feels inappropriate, especially after she became the queen, she deliberately alienated the Li family, so she was not too implicated, otherwise, maybe it was not only Li Shuyu who gave Bai Aya this time, although the queen mother was not given Bai Aya by the emperor, but the position may not be guaranteed." ”

Chen Wenhui snorted coldly and said, "Stupid." ”

Mingzhu said: "No, there is no way, the queen mother is very anxious now, and hurriedly urged me to go back." I was a little scared at the thought of going back and facing so many things. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Sister, don't worry, the queen mother is not much involved, you go back and comfort the queen mother." Since the emperor gave Li Shuyu Bai Aya, that is the meaning of putting all the sins on Li Shuyu, and the queen mother only needs to be cautious in the future. I will also talk to my father and the clan, so that they can regularly worship the queen mother and the prince born by the queen mother in the future, and the queen mother of the province will be contaminated with right and wrong because of money. ”

Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good if that's the case, and in the future, I will have to worry less." ”

Chen Wenhui said: "The queen is difficult to fall back this time, so Bai Guifei and Concubine Ma Shu are not in a hurry, step by step?" ”

Mingzhu said with a strange face: "There are indeed people in the palace who are pressing Niangniang, but they are not Bai Guifei and Ma Shufei." Bai Guifei was also implicated by her mother's family this time, and so was Concubine Ma Shu. Among the people Chongyi checked this time, only one of Li Shuyu's family was the queen's mother, and the remaining half were from the Bai family and half were from the Ma family. Therefore, Bai Guifei and Ma Shufei were also punished by the emperor. The princes of the two of them were sent to the prince's office, and only the princess remained. Now, in the palace, there are the prince's concubines, and only the queen mother is raising the prince herself. This also made the courtiers understand a lot, which is a good thing for the queen. ”

Chen Wenhui asked: "Then who else persecuted the queen?" ”

Mingzhu's face became even more strange, and she said: "It's a new concubine who has entered the palace, a princess from the Wang family." (To be continued......)
