Two days later, Chen Wenhui still didn't get the news of Zhao Chongyi's majesty, and her master Wu Lixia came back. There are two children who came back with Wu Lixia, the eldest one is a boy, eight years old, his name is Wu Jun, and the younger one is a girl's name is Wu Fen, who is five years old. Both children have big eyes, and they look good, but their eyes are a little melancholy.

As soon as Wu Lixia saw Wen Hui, she said, "Why have I only been gone for so long, and the girl has encountered wolves?" How dangerous, next time the girl wants to go out, she must bring more guards. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Well, I think so too, although I am lucky this time and am unscathed, but next time I may not be so lucky." Master, it just so happens that you are back, do you want to send another letter to your friends in the rivers and lakes, I still want to recruit some more guards. ”

Anyway, I made so much money, it's a pity not to spend it, I still have to improve the combat power around me, so that I can better survive. That wolf pack incident left a big shadow on Chen Wenhui.

Wu Lixia immediately said: "Well, I'll write a letter when I go back." Our family's guards have a high monthly income, and the girls treat the guards well, this has spread in the rivers and lakes, and many people want to come to our house as guards. Of course, I won't recruit casually, I must have a good hand and a good character. ”

Wen Hui smiled: "I'm very relieved that the master will do this." Money is not a problem, I will ask Qiu Bi to get you 20,000 taels of silver first. ”

Wu Lixia nodded.

Chen Wenhui looked at the two children following Wu Lixia, smiled and said, "Master, this is your child?" That's my younger siblings, too. Junior brothers, junior sisters, what's your name? How old are you? ”

Wu Lixia immediately pushed the two children out and said, "You all hurry up and see the girl." Girl, they're a little scared. One name is Wu Jun, eight years old, and the other name is Wu Fen. Five years old. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Don't call it a girl, it's weird." Just call my sister. I was the youngest in the family, and I have always been a younger sister, and now I am finally an older sister. Master, it's just right, I've prepared your house for you, and Steward Chen has taken care of everything well. The furniture and decoration at home were all arranged by Chen Cai's family and the big girls in the house, those bedding. Door curtains, curtains, chairs and the like are all made by the maids in the house, who have learned kung fu from the master, and they can be regarded as doing their best for the master. ”

Wu Lixia smiled and said, "Then what's embarrassing?" I'm going to thank them one by one. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Thank you for the trouble one by one, just like this, the master chooses an auspicious day, moves to a new house, let's go to congratulate together, and the master takes the opportunity to invite everyone to have a meal." Even if it's a thank you. ”

Wu Lixia said: "This is good, I will definitely invite everyone to dinner." I really have to ask someone from Qinghelou to help cook. I give the silver. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "This is not necessary, I have prepared a subordinate for the master's house." They are all personally selected by Chen Cai's family, bought them, and carefully trained, the cooks in the master's house are neat and capable, and I have tried all the meals cooked, and they are still very good. There is also a housekeeper for the master, who is also very capable, and the master only needs to give the money to the housekeeper. The housekeeper and the cook must have done a good job. By the way, I haven't told the master yet. I will give the deed of sale of Nuan Yu who serves the master to the master, I have already ordered her to be the housekeeper in your house. She takes care of your housekeeping. The master doesn't have to worry about it. Including younger brothers and sisters, I also prepared a little maid and maid, and I must take good care of them. ”

Wu Lixia was very grateful and said, "The girl is too thoughtful. Let's let Qiubi calculate the accounts, and I'll give the silver to the girl. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Master, do I still have silver?" These are all things that I honor my master. The master's money was kept, and he first bought some land or bought a shop, so that he could have some family property to support his children, and he would have an inheritance to leave to his children in the future. Also, this boy will marry a daughter-in-law in the future, and the girl will marry someone in the future, and this marriage will cost money, so the master's money should be kept for later use. ”

Wu Lixia knew that Chen Wenhui was not short of money, which was also her heart, so she said, "Then I will thank the girl." ”

Chen Wenhui said: "The master first asked Qiu Bi to lead the younger brothers and sisters out for some snacks, let's talk for a while, and the mother should come back, or lead the younger brothers and sisters to see the mother, and the master will take them back to the courtyard where the master lives to rest." ”

Wu Lixia felt that Chen Wenhui had arranged it very well, so she said softly to a pair of children: "Children, follow Sister Qiubi over to have a snack." The girl's dim sum here is the most delicious. ”

When Wu Jun and Wu Fen heard that there was something to eat, their eyes flashed with longing, and obediently followed Qiu Bi to the ear room next to them to eat.

When the children had passed, Chen Wenhui asked, "Can the master's line be smooth?" I see that my younger brothers and sisters are so concerned about eating, they must have suffered a lot of grievances at home, right? ”

Wu Lixia said: "Hey, it's still early for me to get home, if it is two days later, I think that this pair of such good children will be tortured to death by their parents who have no conscience." ”

Chen Wenhui frowned and said, "Is it so strict?" ”

Wu Lixia said: "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it. When I got home, I told the elders about it. The elders said that it was a good thing for me to do this, not only that I would have a lifelong dependence on in the future, but more importantly, that I had saved the lives of these two children. They said that the two children, who had been tortured by their father and stepmother, were so inhuman that they were now denied food. The families living next to them took pity on the two children, and some secretly gave the child food, but they were all scolded back by the child's stepmother, apparently intent on killing the child. When I heard this, I was very anxious, and quickly asked the patriarch to take my nephew to talk to the cousin. Or my nephew, who is well-informed, came up with an idea to ask me to bring some gifts to visit the cousin-in-law, and as long as the cousin-in-law agrees, the matter is half done. My nephew went to the patriarch with a gift and a letter from my eldest brother, so that the two could be done as quickly as possible, and the children would be punished. I thought my nephew's words made a lot of sense, so I did it. Fortunately, when I set off to go home, the girl said that she wanted to give more gifts, so I prepared a lot of things, some of which were prepared by my sister-in-law who helped me open the wedding shop, and they were all things used by some women in the shop, including rouge gouache, handkerchiefs with delicate embroidery, and some of the finest silk and satin that I got in the house. I sorted these things out and brought eight-colored gifts to the child's stepmother, my cousin-in-law. As soon as I entered the door, I saw that the two children who were punished were kneeling there, and they were already dying, which was really pitiful. When the two of them saw someone coming, staring at me with fawn-like eyes, my heart was about to break. “

Speaking of this, Wu Lixia couldn't help but shed tears, Chen Wenhui gritted her teeth and said, "Why do you want your younger brothers and sisters to kneel?" ”

Wu Lixia said: "When I saw this scene, I didn't want to talk to that cousin-in-law anymore. You know, I'm not good at words in the first place, and when I see such a wicked person, I don't want to speak. Fortunately, my nephew invited an aunt from our family to follow me when I went. Because the aunt is an elder, the child's stepmother also has to be respected, the aunt asked her why, she said, these two children have made mistakes, they must be corrected, or what if they grow up in the future and are not filial to their brothers? When she said this, the child belongs to her family, and she educates her own child, where can others interject. Fortunately, my sister-in-law is very eloquent, so let me send the gift first. Moreover, my sister-in-law praised my status in the capital. He also opened the eight-colored gifts and introduced them to her one by one. She was originally from a small family, where have she seen these good things, she has long been dazzled, as soon as she heard the aunt introduce the benefits of these gifts, for example, the rouge gouache, the aunt said that it was the most popular in the capital, and one cost one or two silver. There are also those silk satins, and my aunt even took them out and compared them to my cousin-in-law. I was very impatient, thinking to myself, why didn't my aunt talk about the topic, it was useless to say this, and I was a little impatient, but thinking that she was an elder, I could only wait patiently. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Master, your nephew is a well-versed person, the method he arranged is good, and the elder he arranged for you is even more wonderful, your aunt is a talent, this is to achieve the goal quietly, it is much better than saying it directly." ”

Wu Lixia smiled and said: "Hui'er is smart, I only figured it out later, you will understand it as soon as you hear it." ”

Chen Wenhui thought to herself, the master is an honest man, he doesn't talk much, where is the opponent to deal with such a shrew-like woman, if he comes up rashly and says that he wants to have a stepchild, he can't guarantee it, this stepmother will ask for a sky-high price. In this way, let this stepmother move to her advantage first, and then it is time to intimidate and scare.

Sure enough, Wu Lixia said: "I was impatient, when the child's stepmother was happily watching those gifts, my aunt suddenly said that my brother is now an official of the fourth grade." The head of Huzhou Province, although he is no longer done, but the successor head of the capital is my brother's apprentice, and he is obedient to my brother, and not to mention Huzhou Province, because now my brother is a Beijing official, in charge of the world's officials, shop, and it is trivial to deal with a small common people. If anyone upsets him, he will live to the end. I'm a little confused, why is my aunt so exaggerated? ”

Chen Wenhui was already laughing and fell. (To be continued)
