When Chen Wenlin arrived in the capital, it was already almost August. The capital is still hot. At the end of June, Chen Wenlin took Chen Wenhui to Tianshui City, and after handing over everything to Chen Wenhui, he left Tianshui City happily. When leaving, looking at his sister's wrinkled little face, Chen Wenlin laughed happily, and when he came back with Mei Ying, he thought that his sister had already helped him build a beautiful house. Thinking about living in such a beautiful mansion with Mei Ying in the future, I feel overjoyed.

After almost a month of trekking, Chen Wenlin finally arrived in the capital. In fact, I could have returned to the capital half a month earlier. However, Chen Wenlin stayed in Xinguang City for a while, mainly to trade Japanese slaves for the Four Cities and Xinguang City. Later, he stayed in Shanghai City for a period of time, mainly to promote the latest new products produced in the four cities to those merchants in Shanghai City. Needless to say, there are more businessmen who want to buy routes to the four cities of Luzon in Shanghai now. Princess Lichuan was very satisfied, and pulled Chen Wenlin to ask a lot about the situation in Nanyang, it seems that she was very moved by Chen Wenhui's ± Wan ± book ± Ba, A↑ns←⊕m came out to build a city in Nanyang.

After such a stop-and-go, Chen Wenlin finally came to the capital. When he arrived in the capital, because he was an official of the imperial court, he could not go home immediately, and he was busy going to the palace to ask the emperor for his majesty.

The emperor soon received him, and when he saw the emperor, he found that the crown prince Liu Yan was also present. After Chen Wenlin saluted, the emperor was very happy, ordered him to sit down, and inquired for nearly two hours. It was said that it was lunch time, and the emperor was still unsatisfied, so he specially gave lunch, after dinner. I asked for a long time, and then the emperor was a little sleepy, so he let Chen Wenlin go home.

As soon as Chen Wenlin returned to the house, he saw his mother and father waiting anxiously, and he hurriedly asked his parents for peace.

The three of them sat down and just said a few words, all of them were Bai asking about Chen Wenlin's physical condition, Chen Wenhui's condition, the situation of Chen Wenjun's family in Xinguang City, and the situation of Chen's family and grandchildren. Wan gave birth to her second child this year. This time it's a son. The Chen family was very happy.

Chen Wenlin didn't care about drinking tea, and simply talked about everyone's recent situation. At this time, Steward Chen Cai suddenly came to report that the holy decree had come. The Chen family was busy receiving orders. The emperor praised Chen Wenlin. Many things were rewarded. The Chen family was busy thanking. received the decree, and greeted the eunuch who came to deliver the decree, and sealed a big red envelope.

Wait until one qiē is done. It's dinner time.

Chen Wenlin still felt that the food at home was the best, so he ate a lot.

After the meal, the family sits together and drinks tea. Chen Yuanheng stepped down from the people around him and asked Chen Wenlin in detail what he said to the emperor and what the emperor said when he faced the saint today. This was said in the middle of the night.

Chen Yuanheng was also a little distressed when he saw his tired second son, so he sent Chen Wenlin to rest.

Chen Wenlin returned to his courtyard. Bai's housework management is a first-class level, Chen Wenlin has not lived at home for two years, but his small yard is still in order, Chen Wenlin sleeps in his bed, very comfortable, although he has been busy for a day, plus he was in a hurry before, he was very tired, but he couldn't help but be a little excited when he thought of living in a city with his sweetheart. Do the math, I haven't seen Mei Ying for a year or two, and I don't know how she is now. It's a pity that although in a city, we still can't meet. It's all this hateful rule, if you can meet before marriage and give Mei Ying a shell bracelet made by yourself, how nice it would be. No, it's still more than a month before you get married, so you must want to meet your sweetheart.

Determined down, Chen Wenlin had a headache again, he was not a person who was good at planning, when he thought that Mei Ying was in the deep boudoir, where could it be so easy to see, Chen Wenlin was also at a loss. Suddenly, Chen Wenlin thought of the prince Liu Yan who had been looking at him and listening carefully to him when he was facing the saint during the day, although he didn't say anything. Thinking of Liu Yan, I naturally thought of my good friend Liu Jingyuan. Liu Jingyuan is a first-class smart. I can't say it, I must find an opportunity to find Liu Jingyuan and let him think of ideas for himself, and it is best to meet Mei Ying.

Liu Jingyuan had already slept with Mingzhu in his own house, and suddenly sneezed inexplicably.

Mei family, Mei Ying is embroidering a dowry in the boudoir. Although her cousin and sister-in-law have purchased her dowry very completely, these wedding dresses and underwear, including clothes to be given to her in-laws' relatives, shoes and socks, are still made by Mei Ying herself. Fortunately, her needlework skills are very good, and she does it quickly and well, Rao is so, because the wedding date is approaching, and she has to get up early every day to do the work in the dark.

Mei Ying is now embroidering a pair of embroidered shoes of her future mother-in-law, blue embroidered shoes with patterns all over the ground, which are very good-looking and are almost finished. Mei Ying's eyes felt astringent, so she had to stop and rest.

At this time, suddenly, Zhuo came to her yard. Now, the Mei Mansion has bought the houses on the left and right, and after a little rest, it can be occupied. The house is bigger, and the children of the Mei family can be assigned their own rooms. Mei Ying is the most extravagant because she wants to get married, and she occupies a small courtyard by herself. Therefore, Mei Ying is very comfortable living now. However, because she was preparing a dowry, soon, all the wings of the small courtyard were occupied by those dowries, and Mei Ying could only live in the three main rooms.

Zhuo Shi smiled when he entered the door and said, "Big girl, I'm very happy." My uncle is back. As soon as he entered Beijing, he went to face the saint. The emperor valued him very much, and I heard that he was summoned all at once in the morning, and in the afternoon, even lunch was eaten with the emperor. When I returned home in the afternoon, I soon received the emperor's reward, not only rewarding my uncle, but also rewarding a lot of things. ”

Mei Ying was embarrassed when she heard this, so she lowered her head and didn't speak. Zhuo Shi smiled and said, "These are all what my uncle said to your lobby brother in front of me just now. I'll hurry up and report the news to you, you still don't thank me, at least give my sister-in-law a cup of tea, right? ”

Mei Ying said shyly: "Where is there a sister-in-law like you, who teases me all day long, let alone tea, there is not a drop of water." ”

Having said that, Mei Ying still asked the maid to pour tea. Zhuo Shi was also not polite, sat down at the table and said, "Don't give me those ordinary teas in the house, I want the kind of snow buds that Mrs. Chen sent you a few days ago to drink." ”

Mei Ying said with a smile: "Knowing that my sister-in-law is a person who can taste tea, I am the snow bud that makes people brew." ”

Zhuo nodded with satisfaction, turned his head and saw Mei Yingxiu's shoes, and couldn't help but pick them up and look at them carefully, "This should be for Mrs. Chen's shoes, right?" How bright this flower is embroidered, it's not that I praise my sister, your craftsmanship, it's not easy to find a second one in the capital. ”

Mei Ying smiled and said: "This sister-in-law is wrong, you didn't see the silver-edged thread-picking flower skirt that Mrs. Chen gave me some time ago, that embroidery is really amazing, I have never seen such meticulous work." ”

Zhuo Shi hurriedly asked, "Really?" ”

Mei Ying smiled and asked the maid to open the box and take it out, Zhuo Shi was fascinated at a glance, this is a snow-blue skirt, the material is indescribably soft, the hem is a circle of silver edges, densely embroidered with all kinds of flowers, there are small wine cup sizes, and even lotus seeds, these flowers are different sizes, different colors, different postures, but it looks extremely coordinated, each flower is like a living one, as if you can still smell the fragrance.

Zhuo couldn't help but be amazed.

Mei Ying said: "Originally, I was very confident in my embroidery work, but when I saw this skirt, I really didn't have any confidence at all." People say that the embroiderers used by Mrs. Chen are the top, and the embroiderers in the palace are not comparable. This time I saw it. I didn't want to embroider anymore, but when I thought about it, it was my own heart, so I embroidered it again. ”

Zhuo Shi smiled and said: "Mrs. Chen is extremely rich and rich, and she uses the best, I see, the queen may not have her to enjoy." Therefore, we don't compare technology with others, we compare this mind. I think Mrs. Chen really likes you, and you see that she has been sending you things for the past three days. It's not fruit, it's snacks, it's not tea, it's not clothes, it's jewelry, it's not spices. There are so many that no one can't think of. For example, this snow bud tea, I heard that these snow buds are twenty taels of silver a tael, which is really more expensive than gold. Hey, I'm a tael of gold right now. Look at Mrs. Chen, she gave you two catties. It's really not to take money as money, this is also the rich Chen family, if it is an ordinary family, where can you eat and drink. This is envy. Big girl, not only can you enjoy wealth and glory when you marry in the future, but the relationship between this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law must be good. ”

Mei Ying lowered her head shyly.

Zhuo said: "I haven't seen my uncle's appearance, I heard that he is extremely handsome. However, the last time I went to Chen's house, I saw Mrs. Chen, she was really beautiful, and the child I wanted to give birth to in the future must be handsome. ”

Mei Ying couldn't help but think of Chen Wenlin's appearance, and her heart was sweet.

Zhuo said: "Uncle is not only handsome, but also has a good future, you see, where can there be a courtier who can be summoned by the emperor for such a long time." Big girl, you have suffered before, but now you are willing to suffer, I am afraid that our family will follow you. ”

Mei Ying thinks about her sweetheart, and the one in her heart is called sweetness. Thinking about it, he is now in the same city as himself, not thousands of miles away, and when he thinks about it, he can't help but miss it.

But when you think about it, what about being in a city? It's not that we can't see each other yet, I'm afraid we won't be able to meet until the day we get married, and it's still more than a month, it's really difficult.

As soon as Mei Ying had this idea, she was shocked, how could she think like this, she was really ashamed. (To be continued......)
