Chapter 196: Matters of the Heart
A few people chatted for a while, and then went back to their rooms. Chen Wenhui waited for them to leave before she said, "Mother, is this okay?" ”
Bai Shi smiled and said: "You little monkey, this heart and eyes are so much, you have come up with such a way to make money in such a while, with your method, the money for building a house and building a road in the manor this year has come out." ”
Chen Yuanheng said with a smile: "I knew that Hui'er was so good at telling them all this, and it must be profitable to write it to them, it turned out to be the idea of selling seeds." No one can calculate my good daughter. ”
Wen Hui smiled proudly and said, "Look, in this way, maybe the money we paid for the land can come out." I have follow-up plans, and I don't want to tell them just now. Because it's also useless for them. ”
Bai said, "What are you going to do?" ”
Wen Hui said: "I told Ziyu that wheat has been planted this season, and after the wheat is harvested, a large part of it will be planted with sweet potatoes, because of this high yield, I also asked people to build a vermicelli workshop, if there is a sweet potato workshop, how to start work." There is also a small part, I asked Ziyu to study it and see if I can grow medicinal herbs. ”
Bai Shi was surprised: "How to grow medicinal herbs?" ”
Wen Hui said: "In fact, there are some commonly used medicinal materials that need to be used in large quantities are grown by the people themselves, but there are not many of them. This is comparable to growing grain to make money. For example, we saw a kind of big green root in Zixiazhuang. We can grow too. If you want to plant a large area next year, of course, you have to try it this year, what is the most profitable, the most trouble-free, accumulate experience and then plant a large area next year, so that we have two seasons, one season is wheat seeds, one season is medicinal materials, and the income is worth a few acres of people. Hahaha"
Bai Shi also smiled: "Just you are a shrewd monkey." It is also good to plant these commonly used medicinal herbs, such as peppermint, large green root, medicinal peony, and medicinal peony. Honeysuckle, forsythia, etc., there are too many, let's plant a little bit of each of them and try which one is the best. That's good, when people grow wheat and rice, we plant rice and soybeans, and people also learn to grow soybeans. We planted corn again. Plant sweet potatoes. Planting cotton, and when these things are also promoted, we will start planting medicinal herbs again. ”
Wen Hui smiled and said, "Where can I make money by following the crowd?" You have to be on the cusp of trends. ”
Chen Yuanheng said: "Where did you get this, but it's also very appropriate." Isn't that the cutting edge of the trend? ”
Bai Shi remembered something and said, "Hui'er, why aren't you happy to see the fourth prince?" Isn't there any contradiction with him? I think you're very good to the little brother of the Liu family. ”
Wen Hui's face immediately pulled down and said: "Hmph, of course Brother Liu is different, Brother Liu is Sister Mingzhu's sweetheart, they are about to get married, of course I am good to my brother-in-law." But the four princes are different. ”
Chen Yuanheng was surprised: "The fourth prince is also your cousin-in-law?" ”
Wen Hui snorted coldly and said, "It's because he's my cousin-in-law that I don't like him." You see, Sister Wen Feng has worked hard for him, and he is still shameless in thinking about me. Could it be that all the men in the world are dead, and our Chen family's sisters can only marry him Liu Yan? Isn't it just a little better-looking? A little white face, no masculinity, no taste. ”
When Chen Yuanheng heard that this was the reason, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Could it be that the good-looking is a little white face?" Dare to say that the prince of the Great Chu Dynasty is a little white-faced. You're the first one. In fact, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Especially the prince, as a member of the royal family, the most important thing is not to run errands, not to seek benefits for the people, but to have more sons, which is called spreading branches and expanding the royal family. As for running errands, it is the business of our ministers. Therefore, the four princes will definitely have a group of wives and concubines in the future. Your lobby sister has long understood this. If our efforts succeed, he will really sit in that position in the future, and that will be even more. Haven't you heard of the harem beauties three thousand? Actually, not only 3,000, 30,000 is normal. ”
Wen Hui looked at her father and said, "I don't care about others, my father is now a big official, can't he have three wives and four concubines?" ”
Chen Yuanheng was startled, only then did he realize that he had slipped his mouth, and when he looked back, his wife was looking at him with a pair of wonderful eyes, and this time he was scared out of the sweat, and said with a smile: "Madam, I'm talking about someone else, I definitely won't." Don't say that this is just a third-grade official, even if I will be a marquis in the future, I will only guard Mrs. You. You see we have children, where can I still have that heart? ”
Bai smiled like a flower and said: "Husband, I am not a jealous person, if you meet a confidante, you must tell me." I'll definitely accept it with a smile. As for my sons and daughters, they are all big and their wings are stiff, and I can't take care of them, so don't have a headache when the time comes. ”
Chen Yuanheng couldn't wait to slap himself in the mouth, and was busy coaxing his wife in a low voice. Chen Wenhui's stomach hurt with a smile, and she decided not to disturb their father to settle the score, and went back to the room by herself. After so many days of hard work, I have long missed my boudoir.
Lengxiangyuan is named because of the planting of many plum blossoms, it is not far from the side of Bai's upper room, it is only autumn at the moment, and the plum blossoms have not moved. Liu Yan and Liu Jingyuan lived in this courtyard. Liu Yan went straight back to his room, but Liu Jingyuan did not return to his room, but followed Liu Yan's room. As soon as he turned around and closed the door, all the maids in the house let him down.
Liu Yan was a little surprised and asked, "Ah Yuan, do you have something to say to me?" ”
Liu Jingyuan asked sternly: "Fourth, you are very wrong today, do you have thoughts about Wen Hui?" ”
Liu Yan frowned and didn't make a sound. When Liu Jingyuan saw it, he knew that he had guessed correctly, and said: "Fourth, we are not brothers, we are better than brothers, don't you know that Ayi is the one who loves the curtain?" ”
Liu Yan was a little excited and said: "Why can he love Wen Hui, I can't, we met Wen Hui together?" Originally, as you said, because I love Wen Hui because of Ayi, I have been suppressing this feeling, even if I feel uncomfortable, I also suppress it, I hope my good brother will live well and find his crush. However, Wen Hui rejected Ayi, isn't there any hope for me? ”
Liu Jingyuan said: "Yes, Wen Hui rejected Ayi, but Wen Hui is still Brother Lin, Ah Jun's sister, Brother Lin, Ah Jun is also our good friend?" If you don't get married, then you and Wen Hui are really the best pair. Wen Hui is intelligent, kind, generous, and beautiful. We are all familiar with her parents, and they are simply the smartest and most capable people in the Great Chu Dynasty. We can have half of today's reliance on the noble concubine, and half on Chen Yuanheng and Lord Chen. Wouldn't it be better if you remarried his daughter? However, you met late, and you already have a concubine. Do you think Lord Chen will marry his most precious daughter to you as a side concubine? Do you think Ah Jun and Brother Lin will tolerate their sister becoming a concubine? Don't say any of this, you also know that Wen Hui is different from ordinary boudoir girls, she is so assertive, so independent, so smart, can such a girl be a concubine? Putting these aside, have you thought about it, have you thought about your concubine, Chen Wenfeng. She has always loved you, how much has she helped you since marrying you? Keep your mansion in order, the whole royal family, the whole capital who is not praised. If you marry her cousin as a side concubine, have you thought about what she would think? ”
Liu Yan's face turned pale. In fact, he had already understood Liu Jingyuan's words and thought about it repeatedly, but since he knew that Chen Wenhui had rejected Zhao Chongyi, he began to lose control of his heart, and this feeling was very sad.
Liu Jingyuan was also very sympathetic when he saw Liu Yan's painful appearance, and said in a slow voice: "I have experienced the word love, I understand your current feelings, the beloved is close at hand, but I have no chance for myself, this feeling is the most uncomfortable." ”
Liu Yanqing's cold face turned pale and said: "I hate myself, why am I born in the royal family, why did I marry a wife first when I didn't meet the person I loved, why can't I let go and keep cutting?" I've tried many ways, but I can't get rid of it, and this has become a demon in my heart. ”
Liu Jingyuan said: "You have to restrain yourself, this is what every man will experience." Fortunately, Wen Hui is only ten years old now, and it is still a long time before she gets married, we can still watch her, if there is really a fate in the future, it is not good to say, if there is no fate, you just let go and let her go to be with her beloved, isn't it better? ”
Liu Yan took a deep breath and said, "That's the only way." This is the most fortunate thing for me now, I am glad that she is still young, she has no crush on someone, and I still have time. ”
Liu Jingyuan said: "Hey, it's no wonder that this Wen Hui seems to have a mysterious aura on her body, completely different from ordinary boudoir women, she is so confident, so radiant, so shrewd and capable, it is simply incompatible with this world." She is so kind and wise, that people can't help but get close to her. So, both you and Ayi are caught up in it, and we can't extricate ourselves. Ayi is also so painful. Back in the capital, his love has always been very low. He was happy to hear that he could come to Jiangnan together, but in a blink of an eye, he began to suffer from gains and losses again, and he was afraid of being rejected. I can imagine that if Pearl rejected me when I told Pearl that day, I must have been like him. Therefore, later his father asked him to go to the Northwest Army, but he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went, probably because he wanted to see Wen Hui and was afraid to see Wen Hui. ”
Liu Yan was stunned when he heard this. After a while, he came back to his senses and said, "Forget it, don't talk about it, I'm just thinking about doing my errand well, avoiding the struggle in the capital, and developing my own power." By the way, how are things going with you and Mingzhu? ”
Liu Jingyuan smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Our affairs are also in trouble." ”
