Chapter 141: The Little Family
After a few people giggled for a while, Chen Wenhui said: "Sisters, now that you are all out of slavery, you must have saved a lot of money in your hands in the past few years?" Do you have a plan? ”
Feiguang said: "I have been eating and living in the house all these years, and there are ten taels of silver every month, but I can't spend it, save it, and there are rewards at home during the New Year's holidays, sometimes it is jewelry, sometimes it is clothes, sometimes it is food, and the most is silver, plus the business of the shop has been very good in recent years, and there are hundreds of taels and thousands of taels of dividends at the end of the year." I have saved all of these, deposited them in the zài bank, and I still have a little interest a year. At home in the capital, it is enough for me to let people carry about twenty taels a year. In fact, my sons and mothers all have errands in the house, and my brothers and sisters also have errands in the house, even if I don't have this money, I can do my best, and my money is just to make their lives better. Chen Fu is also like this. The girl in Zheng's mother's family knows, where is Chen Fu subsidized? Therefore, Chen Fu also saved two or three thousand taels of silver, plus this time we got married and did not spend any money, it was all purchased by our wife, and because of the wedding, many people brought congratulatory gifts, in addition to things, we earned four or five hundred taels of silver alone. ”
Yin Hong said, "The situation on my side is the same as that of Feiguang. ”
Chen Wenhui said: "Your small family has a deposit of several thousand taels of silver, and you are all good citizens with household registration now, so don't let the money sit idle in the bank, you should buy some properties." You don't have the time and energy to do business, so you can buy some land and shops or houses, which can collect rent and subsidize the family in the future. ”
Feiguang said with a smile: "The girl's idea is really not like a child, like an old mother who has been accumulating for years, but the girl is right, let's do this, it is estimated that Ziyu and Bishui's family are similar to us, so let's just take the money to Li Huan and entrust him to buy us a property." ”
Chen Wenhui said with a smile: "I used my brother-in-law so quickly." That's right, so be it. I'm glad to see that you're doing well. Our days will definitely get better and better in the future, sisters have to work hard, I still want you to help me when I grow up in the future, just like Chen Cai's family, you see how much my parents rely on them. ”
Feiguang and Yinhong both said solemnly: "Don't worry, girl, we will definitely take care of the girl in the future." ”
Wen Hui smiled: "Don't talk about this now, why are you so strict, I'm still young, these are all things for the future." More on that later. Let's enjoy the present first. ”
The sound of a girl croaking came from the room again. This said. Sister, the red gold hairpin you wore when you got married was very beautiful, and the one said, sister, the embroidered shoes when you got married were really beautiful.
In the capital. Liu Yan and his wife spent nine days in harmony, and it was time to return to the door. According to the rules, the gift for returning to the door is prepared by the man's family. Liu Yan has no mother, and his father is the emperor, and the emperor will not personally ask about these things, and they are all handed over to the internal affairs office and the people who manage the palace affairs. It's just that now it is Chen Guifei who is in charge of palace affairs, and when she takes things for her mother's family, Chen Guifei naturally picks them up, is generous, and dignified.
When the list is in front of the emperor. The emperor not only did not say badly, but said: "The concubine is really good at management, you look at this list, and it does not exceed the prince's regulations, and looks generous." Not weak royal face. I seem to remember that the queen didn't buy it for the second child back then. ”
The big eunuch next to him came to Qing Gonggong and said: "Yes, the noble concubine Niangniang acts generously and does not exceed the rules, which is really not picky." ”
The emperor became more and more happy when he heard this, and said: "Spread my will, and then add thirty percent of the return gift to the fourth, I want the fourth child to return to the door this time, the people of the province said that our fourth child married the noble daughter of the Chen family is rich overnight, and my son is a dragon, where can I use my wife's dowry." ”
Father-in-law came to Qing and hurriedly agreed, and the decree went.
As a result, this list of out-of-the-box cases soon spread everywhere. First of all, the queen's face was iron-blue, and then the concubine's smile trembled, and when the two carts of things arrived at the Jinjun Palace, Liu Yan and Chen Wenfeng were dumbfounded.
A trace of doubt flashed on Liu Yan's cold face: "Princess, why did my father raise my regulations, this is much higher than the second brother back then, and it is almost higher than the crown prince." ”
Chen Wenfeng thought for a while and laughed: "Lord Wang, if I guessed correctly, my father was afraid that my dowry would be too much, and life would weigh on you in the future and make your life difficult, so I deliberately gave you a strong face, so that I and our Chen family don't look down on you." ”
Liu Yan's expression became strange when he heard this. Chen Wenfeng laughed and said, "Okay, Lord Wang, don't guess, this is just right, we can return to the door in style, the prince's face is also good-looking, and my face is also good-looking." ”
Liu Yan could only give up and went back to the door with Chen Wenfeng.
The previous generation of the Chen family married the royal aunt and grandmother, and now the noble concubine Niangniang, who married the prince as a good woman, so she did not return to the door, this time she married the royal family is a big girl, and she is the wife of the prince, and the gifts of the return door are full of the courtyard of the Chen family, and each piece is a fine product, those exquisite jade carvings, shining satin, precious antiques, and elegant calligraphy and paintings, which have aroused the admiration of all the descendants of the Chen family. These subordinates are all talking about it, and they all say that although the second aunt and the third aunt were married to the Xungui family before, there are not so many return gifts, and they are not so exquisite, and they are still royal pomp.
Relatives and friends who came to the Chen family to congratulate him also praised the gift, and they all thought that it was a symbol of the emperor's favor for the four princes.
Chen Yuanluan, the second room, looked at the things all over the ground, and Li said: "It's not that I haven't seen the world, and it's not that there is no better return gift than this in the capital, there is no royal dignity, if only we Jin'er also had this glory." ”
Chen Yuanluan nodded, deeply feeling that what his wife said was very reasonable.
Aunt Cai, who was in the big room far away, looked at the elated eldest lady, her eyes were full of fire, and she whispered: "Isn't it just that my daughter is married to the royal family?" The fourth prince is not a son-in-law, and he is a person without a biological mother, what's the big deal, I must find a better one for my Wen Yuan. My Mandarin is much more beautiful than the big girl. ”
Wen Yuan, who is standing next to him, is indeed more beautiful than the gorgeous Wen Feng, this kind of beauty is not the same as the flamboyance of Wen Feng's atmosphere, this beauty is the same as the goblin, that is, Wen Yuan's age is not very old now, only fifteen years old, if he is a few years older, he must be a stunner who is about twenty years old.
At this moment, Wen Yuan bit her red lip and said: "Mother, don't think about it, even if your father spoils you, it is impossible to marry me to the prince as a princess, I am the daughter of the Chen family, but I am a concubine." ”
Aunt Cai's beautiful big eyes turned and said: "Wen Yuan, don't give up on yourself, we still have a chance, think about it, who is more powerful than the fourth prince, that is the prince, although the prince has a concubine, isn't there no good Di?" According to common sense, the prince should have four good women. Don't be wronged, when your eldest aunt and today's concubine Niangniang married the emperor, she was the prince Liangdi, so ah, I don't humiliate you, with your appearance, as long as the prince likes and pampers you, when the prince succeeds to the throne in the future, you are the princess, and it is possible to even become the queen, and the current queen is also the prince Liangdi of the year. Both the imperial concubine and the queen are much stronger than a princess of a county. ”
After saying something, Chen Wenyuan's eyes were full of hope.
Chen Wenyuan looked at the eldest sister's gorgeous princess dress, and said, "But, how can we let the prince marry me?" ”
Aunt Cai said proudly: "I have a way to do this, I know a person, her husband is the prince's staff, I can let her think of letting the prince meet you by chance, I believe that as soon as the prince sees you, he will definitely not be able to hold it." ”
Chen Wenyuan lowered his head shyly, his eyes flashing with light.
Chen Wenfeng didn't know anything about the reaction of his family, and was immersed in the happiness of his newlyweds. After returning to the door, Liu Yan and her returned to their palace and lived a peaceful life behind closed doors. Chen Wenfeng gradually mastered the housekeeping of the family and kept the palace in order, while Liu Yan still followed his four good friends to Taixue every day to go to school or party with friends.
After Chen Wenfeng took care of the housework, it was also the New Year, after the New Year, Liu Yanhui went to school, Chen Wenfeng sent her husband out every day, and began normal social activities, either to attend the tea party held by the ladies, or to go to the Lichuan Princess Mansion to play, now Chen Wenfeng and Princess Lichuan have the best relationship. During this period, Chen Wenfeng also held several tea parties, all of which were very successful, and the ladies in the capital all talked about the tea party in the palace of Jin County and exquisite, elegant and elegant, and soon gathered popularity in the upper class, and even the social circle with the four princes became wider.
Chen Wenfeng also encouraged Liu Yan to invite some literati and scholars to come to the palace to participate in the poetry meeting, and sometimes invited some young people in the capital to come to the palace to participate in the banquet, and gradually Liu Yan became famous in the literati circle, and also had a good name in the circle of officials and nobles.
Liu Jingyuan called Liu Yan a shit luck and found a good daughter-in-law, and shouted that he would find such a capable daughter-in-law in the future. Chen Wenlin was proud, and took the theory that the daughters of the Chen family are all high-quality products, of course, the best is his sister. Zhao Chongyi and the others couldn't get used to Chen Wenlin's face, and kept hitting him, including Liu Yan, they didn't believe that there was a better Chen family girl than Chen Wenfeng, and she was still so young.
