Chapter Seventy-Four: Three Cities Built Together

When spring came, the whole Tiebi Pass was in a state of excitement. The three cities were built together, how much business was there at this time, and a large number of workers poured into Tiebi Pass, Shanhai City.

Chen Wenhui also began to work normally, and with the addition of Chen Wenhui, the progress of the work has been much faster. However, Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi are busy every day, and they get along with their child Zhao Honglie a lot. However, Zhao Honglie's growth is still very good.

can eat and sleep, even if you get sick occasionally, there is a big hand Mrs. Hu here, and it is easy to solve it.

At such a time, the county lord's mansion has another happy event, Chen Wenhui's eldest maid Shui Lian, Shui Hong, and Shui Liu are going to marry together.

These four big girls are Chen Wenhui's wedding maids, but since Chen Wenhui came to Tiebi Pass, these four big girls have become much less when they serve Chen Wenhui, but Chen Wenhui has brought up eight big maids around him to take care of Chen Wenhui's house.

In addition to these newly promoted maids, Chen Wenhui also has the help of Mama Zhao and Mama Su, two experienced people, so Chen Wenhui's side affairs are handled properly.

Chen Wenhui's four-water maid, Shui Han was the first to marry. Later, Chen Wenhui introduced the objects to Shuilian and others, some of whom were young and promising stewards in the city, and some were officers in Zhao Chongyi's Northwest Army.

After these three pairs got along for a period of time, their relationship was getting better and better, so Chen Wenhui proposed it and simply let them get married together.

After getting married, they also became Chen Wenhui's subordinates, just like Shui Han. Without the status of a slave, he is much freer, and of course, the rights and monthly income are also higher.

This happy event made everyone in the house very happy, because everyone got a reward again. Chen Wenhui is also very happy, she is also happy to see that the people around her have a good home.

Actually, in the South Seas. Her other big girls. They are all the lords of a city, and they are all married, and after they get married, they are still working diligently.

Chen Wenhui is too far away. He can only give a large amount of things and silver.

A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance. Chen Wenhui watched the three maids put on their wedding dresses. The beautiful marriage, how happy she was in her heart, she said to Zhao Chongyi: "Chongyi." I feel like we're having a good time now. Women like me are worth it. ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "Since I married you, I have lived a very happy life, and I will be even happier in the future. At that time, we lived in the capital for a while, and then we went to Nanyang to live a fairy-like life, okay? ”

Chen Wenhui was happy in her heart and nodded.

Suddenly, she remembered and said, "Count the days, the snow should have reached southern Xinjiang, right?" She's probably married to Mulley. I don't know how it happened? Speaking of which, your sister is the closest to you. We have lived together in the capital for so long again, and we have a relationship. However, we didn't marry her personally, and I was really upset. ”

Zhao Chongyi was silent for a while and said: "My mother left me and her two bloodlines, and she looks so similar to my mother, I really love her." I don't give her a dowry, and I'm sorry. Otherwise, in the future, we will go to Nanyang, where will we go to her first and visit her, okay? ”

Chen Wenhui said happily: "Okay, I think so too." ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "Lang Xue has a huge dowry from us, there are enough manpower, and the identity of the county lord given by the emperor, Prince Mu Li treats her very well, and she is also very smart." Compared with ordinary noblewomen, she has been bumpy since she was a child, but she is more able to adapt to the life of southern Xinjiang. I think she's going to be fine? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Yes, I think so too. ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "Jing Yuan also told me about the situation in the capital. Now that the emperor has secured the throne, although the first prince has not recovered his title, he has been able to move freely in the capital. It's just that first, he can't go out of the capital. Second, his body is no longer good. To tell the truth, when he was released, there were still people in the court who were ready to move. However, after he appeared in public for the first time, everyone's hearts were cold, and with such a body, I don't know how long he can live? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Isn't that also living for so many years? ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "I have already received the news that the former prince has been diagnosed and treated by the doctor for so many years, and the former prince has also reached the time when the oil runs out and the lamp is dry, which is probably a matter of the past few months." ”

Chen Wenhui paused for a moment and said, "My second cousin, just a few years after Fuzheng, is about to become a widow?" ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "Be quiet, how can you say those two words on a big day like today?" Not afraid of taboos? ”

Chen Wenhui hurriedly covered her mouth and laughed.

Zhao Chongyi said again: "However, the struggle in the palace has calmed down a lot, it may be the scene of the death of Concubine Wang Xian, which gives those concubines a vigilance, so many things have been transferred underground." The queen mother is in charge of the harem, but she manages it very well. By the way, your eldest aunt, did the Queen Mother also write to you recently? ”

Chen Wenhui hurriedly said: "Yes, my aunt is living well in Siam City, living with Princess Lichuan's family, she is the lord of the city, and she is the master of a small country, can you not be happy?" I think she is more comfortable than being the queen mother. It's just a little bit bad. It's too hot in Nanyang, not only hot, but also humid, and there are many mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are fine, they can be smoked with medicine, and Cousin Lichuan will not be wronged by the Queen Mother. That's her own mother. Besides, Cousin Lichuan is very rich now, can she still care about the money of the Queen Mother? The emperor has nothing to say at this point, the queen mother is very dedicated, the queen mother is far away in Nanyang, and the emperor often rewards things and sends money over, so the queen mother is very comfortable. ”

"But this damp heat has no way. I gave her an idea. Didn't I ask Sister Lan Caiyu to find a merchant in Jiangnan and store ice cubes like us? I asked the Hei family and my shipyard in Nanyang to produce a new type of fast ship, which only took three days and three nights to reach Siam from the coast of Jiangnan. Ice cubes can be sold to Siam. Although the price is high, since Sister Lichuan came out, the Queen Mother has ice cubes to use, and her life is even better. ”

Zhao Chongyi couldn't help but speak, and said, "It's really a luxury, transporting ice cubes from Jiangnan to Siam to use it." You want to figure it out if you lose. It's too extravagant. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "What are you asking for money? Nature is for spending and enjoyment, but I'm not a miser. ”

Zhao Chongyi couldn't help but be happy when he looked at his wife's delicate appearance.

Zhao Chongyi said: "By the way, I have a good news here, the three national teachers of our Great Chu Dynasty are now famous in the capital. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Wenhui smiled and said: "This is true, the first emperor has passed away for so long, and the Taoist temple has been all built, and the three Taoist aunts are now living very well in it, and in a short period of time, it has become the longest leisure place for the ladies and ladies of the capital." Now I don't need to invest money in you, and now it is said that in a short period of time, you will be able to take care of your own profits and losses. ”

"In a few years, maybe you can make some money and come back? However, I don't expect this to make money, when the time comes, after making a profit, I will let the three national teachers and Taoist aunts divide the money and buy some industries in each of them, so as to ensure that there will be no worries in the future. Then, all the profits are transferred to charity. ”

"These are secondary. The most important thing is that through this Taoist temple, the lives of the three Taoist aunts have been enriched a lot. Now as the masters of the Taoist temple, they often hold various poetry clubs, garden parties, flower viewing parties, and banquets with the nobles and ladies of the capital. But I was very happy. ”

"They got a lot of information out of that. In the circle of noblewomen in the capital. As the masters of the Taoist temple, they are originally transcendent, plus their maiden family, they are still the concubines of the first emperor, and the current queen also likes them very much, often summons them, and often rewards them. Therefore, they have become more and more prominent in the circle of noblewomen in the capital, and they control many noblewomen. So the news I got and the ability to do things became more and more powerful. Haven't you noticed that the money, grain, and materials given by the imperial court to the northwest are now much faster and better than before? ”

Zhao Chongyi nodded and said, "Indeed." ”

Chen Wenhui said: "My original idea was very successful. By the way, let me tell you about Nanyang, because Da Chu has adopted a policy of stimulating the birth of children for more than ten years, and now the population is much larger. There are more people going to Nanyang and Yizhou Island. I see, in a few years, I will be able to build a new city in Nanyang. ”

"By the way, speaking of which, I also want to talk about your father, he is really powerful, leading my Nanyang Escort Army, cleaning up the tribes of those large and small countries in Nanyang, so that there have been more captives in recent years. Construction is also getting faster. ”

Zhao Chongyi smiled and said: "I said a long time ago that my father was born an excellent general, and only one such a warrior will come out in hundreds of years, or even thousands of years. What do you think? Actually, I'm not bad, in the past few years, I have guarded the northwest properly. The tribes of thorns are all obedient to me. ”

Chen Wenhui looked at Zhao Chongyi's proud appearance and smiled and said, "You, you just love pride." ”

Zhao Chongyi laughed.

At this time, Zhao Chonglie was reported by the nurse, with a pair of big bright eyes, still staring at the wedding team in the house.

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "This kid, I don't know who this curious person is with?" ”

Zhao Chongyi took over his son and laughed: "Who else can you follow?" Me, of course. Son, you grow up quickly, and when you grow up, your father takes you to ride a horse? Good no good? ”

Of course, little Zhao Honglie didn't understand, but he liked his father holding him very much, and he giggled. (To be continued......)
