After Chen Wenhui saw Wu Cheng, she quickly packed up and went to Yangshan Hall, where there were many affairs waiting for her to deal with. was dealing with it, the maid came to report, Chen Yuanheng and Chen Wenlin came back, Chen Wenhui was overjoyed, busy finishing the work at hand quickly, and went home in the car.

When I returned home, I hurriedly went to the middle of the road where the Bai family lived, Qingluan was standing outside, and when she saw Wen Hui coming, she hurriedly opened the curtain of the green yarn, and Wen Hui saw the second brother first as soon as she entered. Chen Wenlin is already a fifteen-year-old boy, the previous baby fat has disappeared, and he has grown a lot taller. Chen Wenhui smiled and said: "Second brother, you have changed a lot, I thought I had grown taller and was about to catch up with you, who knows, you are growing faster, now I want to surpass you more difficult." ”

Chen Wenlin had a good relationship with his sister, but he hadn't seen his sister for a long time, so he was naturally overjoyed, and said, "You, how can a girl compare with me?" Your height is tall among girls, I still think it's not good to be too tall, how will I find my in-laws in the future? ”

Chen Wenhui pouted and said, "Second brother won't come for a long time, and as soon as he comes back, he will make fun of me. ”

Bai and Chen Yuanheng laughed. Chen Yuanheng said: "We had something on the way, we came back a little late, and we missed Hui'er's birthday, but we still prepared a gift for you." Did Madame give you any gifts? ”

Chen Wenhui hurriedly said: "On a loose birthday, what's so good, my mother gave me a lot of good things, clothes, jewelry, and fabrics, I said that I don't need to make new clothes, I will be small soon, why do I do so much, I have a lot of clothes in the cabinet that I can't wear before I have time to wear them, but my mother still makes them for me." And those head and face jewelry. I like it a lot, but it's not good if it's too much, and I don't usually wear it much. It's a pity to collect it in vain, and someone has to take care of it. ”

Bai said: "Other people's girls think that there are too few jewelry. There are too few clothes, but you are good, trying to save trouble, but too much, really. ”

Although it was a complaint, his eyes were full of smiles.

Chen Yuanheng said: "Since Madame has given so many gifts, we can't lag behind, Hui'er." Look, what did your father give you? ”

Chen Wenhui had already seen a blue burden on the table, and she knew that this should be a gift from her father, what is it, it is not small. I was busy opening it, and when I saw it, it was actually two picture scrolls of different lengths, and I was happy in my heart, and my father made a move. It must be a good thing, and when I opened the scroll, I couldn't help but exclaim: "Oops." Could this be the work of Wu Shanren, a great painter of the previous dynasty? ”

Chen Yuanheng said with satisfaction: "Well, I haven't seen you for a few days, but Hui'er's vision is getting better and better, it can be seen that Master Qiu has taught well." This is for my father in Gan Shaanxi accidentally encountered, a large family collection, he did not know the preciousness of this painting, just as an ordinary ancient painting hanging, let me see at a glance. I bought it with a lot of money. Actually, the big guy wanted to give it to me. I couldn't afford to take advantage of him and gave him a lot of money. He was very surprised, he didn't expect this painting to be so valuable, so he cautiously asked me, what is the value of this painting? I told him that this is the work of Wu Shanren, a great painter of the previous dynasty, and there are very few surviving now. So, it's precious. Only then did the big man react and say, he didn't understand this thing, this painting was brought by his grandmother to marry. The grandmother is the daughter of a scholarly family, and she married a total of two paintings, one of which he looked good and hung it out, and the other one was given to his daughter as a dowry. If I like it, I'll find my daughter to come back to this painting. I was very happy when I heard this, and it turned out that there was another one, so I hurriedly sent someone to follow him to the house of the daughter of the big family, and looked for this painting, and when I saw that it was even better than the first, I gave her more silver. The daughter of the big family was very surprised, she didn't expect that a worthless painting given to her by her father was actually the most valuable thing in her marriage. ”

Chen Wenhui was very happy to hear it and said: "Fortunately, my father bought it back, or it would be a terrible thing to give them away, I want to keep one of these two paintings for myself and give one to my master?" ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Well, filial piety is commendable. Father gave it to you, and I don't care who you give it to. However, my father is still very happy to know that you respect your teachers. ”

Chen Wenhui looked at the picture scroll with a smile, a little in love. At this time, Chen Wenlin said with a smile: "Oh, my sister is too rich, and there are also bad things." ”

Chen Wenhui raised her head when she heard this and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Chen Wenlin said: "You are so rich, you don't lack anything, silver, gold, jewelry, head, clothing, it's difficult to give you a birthday gift, fortunately, I have prepared a special thing for you." ”

Chen Wenhui hurriedly asked, "What is it?" ”

Chen Wenlin took out a box, which was not big, Chen Wenhui hurriedly opened it and saw that it was a booklet. When I opened it, I immediately said, "Is this the work of Mrs. Jiawei, a female calligrapher in the court?" ”

Chen Wenlin said: "Mrs. Jiawei, a female calligrapher of the former dynasty, was implicated because of the turmoil in her family, and was sent to the northeast. Therefore, many of her works have been left in the clan land. I've bothered to collect three copies, and it's good for you to see. ”

Chen Wenhui was overjoyed and said: "I didn't know that Mrs. Wei was taken in by our Chen family, so in addition to these three volumes of posts, she must have a large number of works in existence, which can no longer be found in the Central Plains." I even read it once at the master's place, and according to the master, Ouchi has a volume, and he has a copy there, so he is very proud of it. Now I'm a lot more than him, look at what he looks like, hehe, he must be salivating. No, if you have time, you must go to the clan land to collect it. ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "In fact, many calligraphers and painters were persecuted by the imperial court, some were distributed, some were exiled, and such people were very miserable, but once they arrived at the clan land of each family, it would be good, and each family would take money out to support them, and they could all spend their old age in peace." Therefore, the clans of each family have accumulated some good calligraphy and painting works over the years. We have a lot of them in the Chen family, we can send someone to collect them, and it won't cost much anyway. ”

Chen Wenhui immediately said: "This is a good idea. By the way, father, I want to help my master build a painting hall. ”

After speaking, he told the idea of the painting hall again, but he didn't say anything about the secret realm. After finishing speaking, Chen Wenhui said: "Father, why don't we buy these works in the Bai family and the Chen family's clan land and put them in the painting hall, so that the people in the painting hall can observe and improve their painting skills." ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "You are really broad-minded. Ordinary people get these things, and they cherish them and keep them secret. You're good, you just want to take it out for everyone to enjoy. Still, you're a good idea. We have a lot of things, all of which are very good, but everyone keeps them secret, doesn't pass them on, and once something happens, they lose it, which is a pity. If everyone is not selfish, this is taken out for everyone to see, and there will definitely be better works. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled, in her previous life, there was a special art museum for everyone to enjoy, and most of them did not charge tickets. Chen Yuanheng said: "I'll tell the people of our family in the clan field, let them pay attention to it, and collect some." As for the Bai family, I will talk to the Bai family's capital family, and I believe they still sell me this face. ”

Chen Wenhui clapped her hands and said, "Great, great." ”

Chen Wenlin said: "I lived in the capital for a period of time, about a month or so, I was ready to go to Xinguang City on Yizhou Island, my eldest brother wrote a letter to urge me several times, asking me to go over to help, he is now sitting in Xinguang City on Yizhou Island, but the construction of the new city in Nanyang has no energy to manage, so the progress of the new city is very slow, and he is going to die in a hurry." Also, the territory we established in the Wa Kingdom has also undergone some changes, because that territory has grown little by little, and now it has one-tenth of the land area of the Wa Kingdom. And they are all good areas, we moved some people to the area, and they farmed and lived. All of this has caught the attention of the royal family of the Wa Kingdom, and they seem to be plotting something that may be used against us. Although this matter is in charge of Shanghai City, I believe that the imperial court will also send troops, after all, where are our people, but the eldest brother is still very worried, because the eldest brother has arranged a lot of manpower there, I am afraid that this matter will affect our interests in the Japanese country. So, big brother needs manpower very much now. ”

Chen Wenhui frowned and said, "Then the second brother really has to hurry up." Big brother is really short of manpower. I'm going to let my master's nephew Wu Cheng come over, but he can only do small things, and he can't take charge of it on his own now. ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "During the Chinese New Year, your second aunt's cousin Pei Jingzheng, your third aunt's cousin Tian Jingye, and your second uncle's cousin Bai Junda and Bai Junyi all want to go to Yizhou Island to follow your eldest brother to make contributions. I'm still thinking about whether to let these young people go, and they are also a helper for your eldest brother. ”

These are not things that Chen Wenhui can consider, so she didn't speak. Bai said: "Pei Jingzheng can't go, he is the son of Uncle Linhai, and he has already been crowned the son, how can he leave home?" But Tian Jingye can, originally his father was the second son, and it won't be his turn to inherit the title in the future, but he can, and he is very smart and meticulous in doing things, very much like his father, and the eldest princess's beloved grandson, it should be okay. As for Bai Junda, Bai Junyi, let's see which son the second sister-in-law will let go. I think it should be the second son, Bai Junyi. In this way, Jun'er can have two more helpers.
