Chapter 141: Grinding Time

Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongli got off the carriage, got off the horse, walked slowly in the Zhuangzi together, and also enjoyed the beautiful scenery in the garden in spring.

The husband and wife walked while enjoying the scenery, and chatted with Zhao Chongli and his wife from time to time, so they slowly walked through the front yard, and a little maid came over and said that the old man was waiting for them in Cuifeng Pavilion.

These four people had to speed up their pace, bypass the main hall, and go directly to Cuifeng Pavilion, only to see that the backyard in this courtyard is even more beautiful, a piece of mountains and rivers are beautiful, Cuifeng Pavilion is an attic on a high slope, three stories high, you can look at the distant mountains, you can also see the outline of the capital. On weekdays, Lao Zhongyi likes to drink tea here.

The four of them entered the Cuifeng Building and went up to the third floor, and sure enough, Lao Zhongyi was drinking tea, and when he saw the arrival of his two sons and two daughters-in-law, he was very happy, and he looked at them with a smile and saluted, and let everyone sit down and taste tea.

Zhao Chongyi and Lao Zhongyi talked about the trip to southern Xinjiang, but some things such as planting people in southern Xinjiang were not said, and the princess of southern Xinjiang wanted to marry Chongyi did not say anything about the plot. However, I probably said that I went to do things for the emperor in southern Xinjiang, and after I finished it, I returned to Jiangnan, and checked the situation of some officials in Jiangnan, and reported it to the emperor, and some officials in Jiangnan have been investigated, and some are being investigated.

Zhao Chongli and Lao Zhongyi were very interested in not asking Zhao Chongyi and his wife what to do in southern Xinjiang, but Han and Zhao Chongli affirmed in their hearts that the emperor valued his good brother Zhao Chongyi very much, and in the future, the relationship with Zhao Chongyi should be better.

Zhao Chongyi greeted the old loyal and righteous father. Chen Wenhui found that the old loyal and righteous prince was better than the last time they met. It's a little older, indeed. Thinking about it, it has only been half a year, and there have been such big changes, it can be seen that the death of the former emperor still has a great impact on the old loyal and righteous father. Actually, although Chen Wenhui doesn't have much affection for the old loyal and righteous father, she doesn't hate it, and. She knows. This is Zhao Chongyi's most valued relative, and he has always respected his father. Although there are many old loyal and righteous women, the backyard is complicated, but. It's still good to love my son.

Lao Zhongyi said: "My body is okay. Since moving to this garden. Every day is to enjoy flowers, watch birds, and sometimes go hunting in the back mountains. Most of the time in tea, fishing. So it's very well raised. But your mother, who has been in bad health lately. Yesterday I heard that you were coming, and I was very happy, and I wanted to struggle to get up, but I couldn't. After a while, Chongli and Chongyi will accompany me to drink tea here, and the eldest daughter-in-law and the county lord will go to visit your mother together. ”

Zhao Chongyi was thinking about this, thinking in his heart, his father still understands himself. But after thinking about it, Wen Hui still had to face Mrs. Zhao, and couldn't help but be a little worried, so she glanced at Chen Wenhui.

Chen Wenhui didn't want to see Mrs. Zhao either, but she was not afraid of Mrs. Zhao, believing that the last time the cook incident had taught her mother-in-law a lesson. There is also the recent rectification of Mrs. Zhao's mother's family, which will definitely make Mrs. Zhao restrain herself. Therefore, Chen Wenhui was not afraid, gave Zhao Chongyi a reassuring look, and went to the main house where Mrs. Zhao lived with Han.

Chen Wenhui and Han's together, under the leadership of the maid, divided the flowers and brushed the willows, and walked slowly. The two of them were talking and laughing while enjoying the spring scenery in the garden. This scene has already been told to Mrs. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao was already sick in bed, and in the past six months, her life has been too bad.

The two beautiful cooks in the family are gentle, beautiful, and very elegant, after all, they are from a noble background, and this general temperament is more like a lady in the main room than her. Angry her half to death.

Not to mention, her mother's family had accidents one after another, and seeing that she couldn't even do business in the capital, her mother's family came to her every day, which made her annoyed.

In addition, the first emperor died, and she was still tired from entering the palace at an old age, so she naturally fell ill. Later, although the illness was better, but the root of the disease was removed, and every three or five times there was going to be a disease, just a few days, and some cough, dizziness, there was nothing, but as soon as she heard that Chen Wenhui was going to visit her, she suddenly got angry again, simply lay down, waiting for Chen Wenhui to come to greet her.

However, after waiting for a long time, no one came, the maids went to take a look, and when they came back, they said that Chen Wenhui and Han were talking and laughing while enjoying the scenery of the house, and walked over slowly, it seemed that it would take some time.

This is not the capital, Zhao Chongyi and the others have to go back to the capital, and if the city gate is closed late, they can't go back, so when Zhao Chongyi and Zhao Chongli finished chatting with Lao Zhongyigong, they will inevitably send someone to pick up Han and Chen Wenhui back. When the time comes, she will not be able to force her to stay. Then when Chen Wenhui and Han could come to visit and serve her, it became fixed.

With such a limited time, the two of them didn't say come over quickly, but went to enjoy the scenery when their mother-in-law was lying down, didn't this make Mrs. Zhao vomit blood?

Mrs. Zhao held back the anger in her heart and waited patiently for Han and Chen Wenhui to come over.

After waiting for a long time, finally, Han and Chen Wenhui came to Mrs. Zhao's courtyard.

The two of them came to Mrs. Zhao's couch, saluted respectfully, and greeted Mrs. Zhao.

Mrs. Zhao looked at Han's family, Chen Wenhui was not good at wearing Chinese clothes during the national funeral, so she wore a silver spring shirt, rolling emerald green lace, a jade skirt underneath, and no gorgeous outfit, just a few hairpins with white jade on her head, which looked very elegant and beautiful, Mrs. Zhao was even more angry, and said: "You guys are idle, I'm sick and dying here." Well, you'd better stay and serve the sick, right? ”

As soon as he said this, Han's face changed slightly. However, Chen Wenhui still looked calm, and said: "My mother is sick, and it is natural for us to serve the sick as daughters-in-law, but the emperor also assigned me a task, and it doesn't matter much, so let's do it, I will give the emperor a last time, ask for a period of leave, and come to serve the sick well." ”

Mrs. Zhao was angry. Which family's daughter-in-law is like Chen Wenhui, still holding an official position, and wants to do things for the emperor? This heaven and earth are big, and the emperor is the biggest, if she really asks her daughter-in-law not to run errands for the emperor and come to serve her, this imperial history must first refer to her. That's a big crime.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhao looked at Han.

Han was thinking that this time there was no way out, so he could only stay and let his mother-in-law suffer.

Where do you know, Chen Wenhui opened her mouth again and said: "Mother, my sister-in-law has to take care of the many affairs of the Zhongyi Mansion and the Zhao family in the city, a clan woman has a lot of responsibilities, and it is not good to live in the suburbs for a long time, so let me come." Shuilian, you put down the gift for your mother, and then go to ask your sister in your mother's room for a piece of pen and ink, I can write a fold, you will go to the palace today to send it. I won't go back, you and Shui Hong can just go back to the house and bring my clothes and utensils by the way. ”

As he spoke, his body did not move, and he stood steadily.

Mrs. Zhao held back her anger. What you said is good, not only did you not let the Han family get sick, but you also threatened to show it to the emperor. Forget it, are you really sick? If you don't even move your hand, how can you serve the sick, is it just here?

Han's stomach was about to burst with laughter, but his face still maintained an expressionless look.

Mrs. Zhao said only after half a salary: "Okay, I still have someone to serve, so I don't need you." You're all busy, and I'm just an old woman idle. ”

Chen Wenhui and Han Shi listened to this, and they didn't refute it, but just stood with their eyes and nose and nose and heart.

Mrs. Zhao was about to say a few more ugly words, when suddenly a maid arrived, Mrs. Zhao recognized the person in front of the old Zhongyigong, she came in and said, the old Zhongyi Gong had something important to ask the county lord and the eldest lady to go.

As soon as she said this, Mrs. Zhao became even more angry, these two daughters-in-law, who were there to watch the flowers and enjoy the spring, rubbed the time, and it was only a while, and the words had not been said yet, and the old loyal and righteous father was invited to have something important to say, where did she have time to grind her daughter-in-law?

However, Han and Chen Wenhui ignored this, listened to the maid's words, and hurriedly saluted, Chen Wenhui also said to Mrs. Zhao's maids in front of Mrs. Zhao: "We have something, come back in a while, you serve your mother with your heart, water lotus, reward the people who serve in your mother's house, first-class maids, one person has a small golden hairpin, second-class maids, one person has a set of gold and three things." Four housekeepers, one with a pair of red gold bracelets. The whole courtyard, no matter how high or low, was given a reward of two taels of silver. ”

As soon as she said this, the people who served around Mrs. Zhao were full of joy, not to mention that the maids were happy, they were all over the yard, and the monthly money was only a few hundred dollars a month. Since Mrs. Zhao left the capital and came to live in the farm, these people around Mrs. Zhao no longer have the power in their hands, after all, they have left the Zhongyi Mansion. The reward received was also much less, so everyone was very happy with Chen Wenhui's reward.

The courtyard was full of laughter, Mrs. Zhao fell ill on the bed, but it can't be said that Chen Wenhui is not good, after all, people are not beating their own servants, but rewarding, so, hearing this, Mrs. Zhao is even more angry. It's just that there is no place to send it.

Chen Wenhui stood up straight, and said with an extraordinary bearing: "You serve the old lady with your heart, serve well, and there will be rewards when you turn back, if you don't care, beware of your skin." ”

After speaking, he saluted Han and went out.

Mrs. Zhao trembled angrily, and said to the grandmother beside her: "This Chen Wenhui, what does she want to do?" Now that I am in charge of my yard, I am in charge? ”

It's a pity that the grandmother next to her is also waiting for the reward of Chen Wenhui's red gold bracelet, and she is not in the mood to answer Mrs. Zhao's words.

Mrs. Zhao was even more angry.

Here, what does Mrs. Zhao think, Chen Wenhui doesn't care, she is going to Cuifeng Pavilion with Han in a sedan chair, this time there is no time, this time it is summoned by the old Zhongyi Gong, and she can't be lazy. (To be continued......)
