ps: Thank you Hong-Luo Yan for the two pink tickets.

Since Chen Wenhui has made up her mind, she will act immediately. She wrote a letter to transfer Wan Shuhui from Nanyang, this kind of thing, she still needs Wan Shuhui, a good helper, to help. Fortunately, the matter on the Nanyang side has come to an end, the construction of the new city has been started, and the people are also in place one after another.

Chen Wenhui is still busy dealing with the affairs of the Wang Family Bank in an all-round way, and the affairs of the East Palace have also come to an end, because there are new things that have diverted everyone's attention. This new thing is that Concubine Zhao De in the palace prayed hard every day because the emperor had been ill for a long time, but the emperor's illness was not cured by her, she herself was seriously ill because of fatigue, and she was a little uncomfortable at first, and then became more and more strict, and now it is said that she has been in a coma for half a day and awake for half a day.

The emperor's body is much better, after knowing, he is very concerned about Concubine Zhao De's body, and sent the imperial doctor to see it, but it has no effect, seeing that Concubine Zhao Defei is about to die, the queen made a statement to the emperor, and Xuan Lao Zhongyi and his wife entered the palace to visit their daughter for the last time.

The emperor was also a little sad, so he made a decree, Xuan Lao Zhongyi and his wife, and the new Zhongyi husband and wife went to the palace to visit Concubine Zhao De for the last time.

The Zhao family couldn't help but cry bitterly when they saw the sick and dying Concubine Zhao, and the emperor and empress were also uncomfortable when they looked at it. When they were all finished, the emperor specially summoned the two loyal and righteous dukes to the imperial study to comfort them.

The old loyal and righteous prince said to the emperor sadly: "Your Majesty, Concubine De is like this now. It's her blessing, please don't be sad about her affairs, so as not to hurt the dragon body. ”

The emperor was very guilty, the old loyal and righteous duke was loyal to the country, the two concubines entered the palace, but they did not end well, and the eldest daughter was jealous before she entered the palace, and was killed by the daughter of the Tian family. Although the second daughter entered the palace and became a concubine, she did not give birth. Now he is seriously ill.

The emperor said, "It's all because of me." It was only when Concubine De was so seriously ill at a young age, I can't help you. ”

Lao Zhongyi hurriedly knelt down and said: "It is the honor of the Zhao family to be loyal to the emperor. It's just that the minister has a request. ”

The emperor hurriedly asked, "What's the matter, the old prince got up and spoke." ”

The old loyal and righteous man did not rise up. Instead, he said sadly: "The minister just visited Niangniang." Although the mother is very sick. But this moment. I still understand it in my heart. met the old husband and wife, and told the ministers that she had been favored in the palace in her life. Brocade clothes and jade food are not in vain, but it is a big crime not to give birth to a boy and half a girl for the emperor. She was afraid that if she died, she would go to hell. Therefore, she wanted to ask that before she died, she would be allowed to become a monk and become a Taoist aunt, to atone for her sins, and to pray that she would not fall into hell after death in the future. ”

Many noble ladies in this era have such a custom, afraid that after death, they will enter the eighteenth layer of hell because of their sins in life and suffer boundless suffering, so before they die, they will become monks and pray for the protection of gods and Buddhas, so that they will not fall into hell after death.

When the emperor heard this, he agreed with him and said, "This is a request for my consent." My noble concubine, Concubine Shu, in order to pray for me, has become a Taoist aunt, and I have given them the title of protector. I also gave Concubine Zhao Defei the title of Protector of the Country. I believe that with my title, she will never go to hell. ”

The old loyal and righteous prince was overjoyed, and he was busy taking Zhao Chongli like the emperor to thank him.

People in this era believe that the emperor is the Ninety-Five, the Son of Heaven, and can command ghosts and gods. The emperor's title, ghosts and gods must obey. If there is a title of protector mage, those ghost clans will definitely not dare to let such a soul enter hell after death.

The emperor said, "But after this monk, it is not good to stay in the palace." ”

Lao Zhongyi said: "Just now the minister and the old wife discussed, our family has a village in the suburbs, it is very clean, suitable for practice, the houses are all built well, originally for the ministers to provide for the elderly, because the emperor gave the farm, now it is not needed, just for the mother to practice." With a little reconstruction, it can become a Taoist temple. The minister's family is willing to worship Niangniang. ”

The emperor nodded and said, "I will discuss with the empress, after all, the harem is in charge of the empress." ”

The old loyal and righteous man is busy thanking.

The next day, the emperor made a decree to crown Concubine Zhao De as Master Joan of Virtue, seal the Master of Protector of the country, enjoy the treatment of Concubine De, and give thousands of acres of land, all of which are imperial villages on the outskirts of the capital. The Taoist temple was built by the Zhao family and enshrined.

The Zhao family had already been prepared, and immediately moved Concubine Zhao De out of the palace and became a Taoist aunt. It's also strange to say, since Concubine Zhao Defei became a Dao aunt, her body has been getting better day by day, and finally she has gotten better. But she can't go back to the palace to be a concubine, and she has to be a Taoist aunt for the rest of her life.

People all over the world say that the emperor is virtuous, and when he was sick, the two concubines became monks and prayed for blessings, and the emperor's illness was cured. Later, Concubine De fell ill and died, and after becoming a monk, her illness was cured. The people of Daomen took the opportunity to publicize, and for a time Daomen flourished.

Chen Guifei and Chen Shufei in the palace saw that Concubine Zhao Defei was still late when she left home, but she had already moved out of the palace, and they couldn't sit still, and they also asked to go to the Taoist temple in the suburbs to pray for the emperor. Wen Hui has built a quarter of the Taoist temple, which is enough for two concubines to live. The emperor was very pleased, rewarded a bunch of things, and allowed Chen Guifei and Chen Shufei to move out of the palace and live in the Taoist temple.

The affairs in the palace have just come to an end, and the day when the Zhao family has set a dowry for the Chen family has arrived. With the help of the Ministry of Rites, the Zhao family carried the rich dowry to the Chen family, a full one hundred and twenty lifts, which made the people in the capital talk about it, and they all praised the wealth of the Zhao family, as well as the importance of the Chen family's county lord. You must know that when the Zhao family married the daughter-in-law of the Han family, the dowry was only sixty lifts. It's really unexpected that I'm suddenly ahead of a generation.

The Zhao family invited a matchmaker, and relatives helped to send a dowry. There were many guests of the Chen family, including relatives of the Chen family, as well as officials in the capital who came to flatter them.

The Xiao Chen family is becoming more and more grand, and the Zhao family is also a powerful family, and the marriage of these two families is naturally a major event that alarms the capital.

Surrounded by a group of noble ladies, the Bai family saw that the Zhao family brought a dowry, and all of these noblewomen praised this dowry for being really extravagant, the first in the capital.

Bai's vanity was greatly satisfied.

On the contrary, Chen Wenhui was idle, and she didn't have to come forward, she just sat in the boudoir and pretended to be shy.

Mingzhu took the time to come to Chen Wenhui's embroidery building and joked to Chen Wenhui: "Your dowry is a shock to the capital." Everyone said that it was the first one in the capital. The Zhao family has made a lot of money this time. ”

Chen Wenhui pouted and said, "It's not because their family has begged our family, otherwise, do you think Mrs. Zhao can give Chongyi these things?" In fact, Chongyi can afford these things himself, originally, he wanted to prepare them himself. But Lao Zhongyi had to be prepared by the Zhao family, and he had no choice but to let them prepare. Actually, are we the ones who care about these things? ”

Mingzhu smiled and said, "No, although these things are valuable, they are not as much as your dowry." However, I just looked at it in the front yard, and I thought that the Zhao family was going to prepare some flashy things, but who knows, after reading it, they are all really good things. The silk is all high-quality in-house, or a new pattern in the south of the Yangtze River, thick and tight, like water. The fancy is not old, it is all new. And the jewelry, the materials on it are very real. Red gold inlaid with gemstones and pearls are all big and have good water heads. There is no gilt or silver thing. There are also jade ornaments, which are also treasures, and there is no miscellaneous jade rushing in them. ”

Chen Wenhui thought about it and said: "I really want to hear Chongyi say that this seems to have been prepared by the Han family, so it is so real." If Mrs. Zhao had prepared it, she would have used the old goods in the treasury that had not been used for 800 years. Speaking of which, I really want to accept Han's favor. People are like this, people respect me, and I also respect her, so that everyone can get along well in the future. Don't worry, the Zhao family has paid so much money for me, I won't let the Zhao family lose money. After all, the Zhao family has a large population, and there is a younger brother and a younger sister who have not started a family, and I will not embarrass the housekeeper Han in the future. Also, when Han's children get married in the future, I won't let her suffer. ”

Mingzhu smiled and said, "I believe this, a little leakage between your fingers is enough for them to spend." ”

Chen Wenhui said: "The sedan chair carries people, they are good to me, I am naturally good to them, and we can't afford it." There are also many people in the Zhao family, and it just so happens that we are short of people, if those who are not in the same stream as Mrs. Zhao and are willing to lean on us, we are naturally willing to help. ”

Mingzhu said: "No, but you also have to be careful, your mother-in-law is not a fuel-efficient lamp." Also, your sisters-in-law are not good people. That Zhao Yufei doesn't have a good reputation in the capital. Originally, she should have come to talk to you today, but when you look at her, she didn't even show her face, maybe she was holding some bad water, waiting for you to enter the door so that she could give you a ride. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Sisters, can I still not know?" I also dealt with that Zhao Yufei. Don't worry, if I really want to deal with her, there is a way. ”

Mingzhu said: "Anyway, I am relieved of you." Okay, get your good snacks out and let's have tea and snacks. Just have a stepmother outside. We're having fun. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "You bad daughter, it was when you helped your mother, but you came to hide from it." ”

Mingzhu said with a smile: "Whoever makes the stepmother have great ability, there are many capable people around her." This time, didn't you see that the few capable people in your family are here? Yinhong, Feiguang, Qingshuang, Purple Jade, Biwen, and Bishui all came back to help their stepmother. They have long been one-sided figures, and it can be said that one person can control the overall situation. Now that they're all here, what's not good to arrange? Besides, the big girl red carp next to her stepmother is also an expert, and in the past few years, she has been doing everything around her stepmother. Attentive and thoughtful. The stepmother couldn't leave her for a moment, and she was reluctant to marry her. However, she is also old, and she has promised others, and she is the steward of your house. In the future, she will also be a housekeeper, and her stepmother said that she would continue to be a grandmother in her stepmother's house after she got married, and she would also be in charge of the big mess of her stepmother. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "Mother is a person who can regulate people." ”

Mingzhu smiled. (To be continued......)
