The development of Tiebiguan is getting better and better. Chen Wenhui is also getting busier. However, there are more and more differences between her and Zhao Chongyi. Since the beginning of spring, the two of them have gathered less and left more, Chen Wenhui is in charge of the affairs of the city, and Zhao Chongyi is leading the army to go around to conquer those disobedient tribes.

The results were very encouraging. It is precisely with the support of such a powerful force as Zhao Chongyi that Tiebi Pass and Shanhai City are so peaceful.

It's just that two people get together less and leave more, and lovesickness is inevitable. Zhao Chongyi is fighting outside, and Chen Wenhui is also worried. In addition, the climate in Tiebiguan is very bad, and Chen Wenhui often gets sick.

On this day, the first snow finally fell, and Chen Wenhui was about to spend the second winter in Tiebiguan. This winter, Chen Wenhui has made more adequate preparations, and the entire garden has been basically built. In particular, the long glass corridor that surrounds the entire mansion keeps the cold wind out, allowing Chen Wenhui to take a warm walk in the cold winter.

At this time, the Northwest Army also returned, and this time it was also a triumphant return, Chen Wenhui and the officials of Mancheng held a grand celebration banquet for Zhao Chongyi's Northwest Army.

After the banquet, the two returned to their living room.

In winter, Chen Wenhui does not like to live in the main house, but prefers to live in a place named Lucui Pavilion. This is in the large garden of the mansion, which is extra warm because it is backed by mountain rocks and blocks the cold north wind.

Chen Wenhui and his family returned to their own house, and naturally they had endless words. Chen Wenhui inquired in detail about this campaign, and Zhao Chongyi comforted Chen Wenhui. And make sure that you are not injured at all.

The two have been separated for more than two months, and this meeting is naturally a love affair.

The next day, the two sat in front of the window with each other in their arms, admiring the snowy scene. Zhao Chongyi said: "This year has made you hard, and one person has supported so many affairs. It'll be fine next year. Now those tribes, under our grace and power, no longer dare to be inferior to us. The thorns have been pulled out. From this winter onwards, we should not need to send in a large army. I can finally join you in the Iron Wall. ”

"I'll take over your business, you can give birth to your body, you see. I've lost a lot of weight lately. It's also easy to get sick. You must take care of your body. ”

As soon as Chen Wenhui heard that Zhao Chongyi didn't have to go to war, he immediately became happy. said to Zhao Chongyi: "Tired is not very tired. Yan Shupeng and his wife have helped me a lot. Fortunately, we went to Jiangnan before coming to the northwest and met Yan Shupeng and his wife. Except for the two of them. And my four big girls. Water lotus. They also shared most of the work for me. I'm not tired. It's just that I worry about your safety every day. ”

This Zhao Chongyi understood, and couldn't help but feel very sorry. Gently hugged Chen Wenhui.

Chen Wenhui said: "Okay now, you don't have to go out. Together, we can rule the iron wall. Haven't you noticed that Tiebi Pass and Shanhai City have changed a lot now? ”

Zhao Chongyi smiled and said, "You are really a talented person. It's only been a long time, but it's just over a year, and you've made such a big change in Tiebi Pass. There are a lot more people in the city now. Shops also flourished. The number of workers in the city also increased, and the number of workshops increased. Now the lives of the people in Tiebiguan and the families of my comrades are much better. In the army, sometimes we chatted, and those soldiers felt that it was a good thing to stay even if they didn't return to their hometowns in the future. Therefore, when the war starts, it is more desperate. Those who didn't move their families to Tiebi Pass are thinking about thinking about bringing their families over in the future. ”

"Not to mention, the Xiongcheng on the grassland outside the city, Shanhai City, people of all ethnic groups live there, the market is prosperous, the transaction volume is huge, and our tax alone has surprised the emperor of the capital. How many times has the emperor rewarded us? ”

Chen Wenhui pursed her lips and said, "What's so great about rewarding us." Are the silks, and the gold, and the silver, and the wine, which he gave us, rare to me? It's just that it's more face-saving. ”

Zhao Chongyi smiled and said, "It's all for me." I know. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled.

Zhao Chongyi said: "How is it in the capital? Is there any news delivered? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Everything is fine in our house. Snow management is well organized. Her business is also very good, and the goods we brought from southern Xinjiang have made her shop a lot of money and fixed many customers. Moreover, she slowly sold some of her property and bought some things. It seems that she is determined to go to southern Xinjiang. The steward of my house wrote to me and asked me that I wanted to buy some industries in the south of the Yangtze River near Lingnan, most of which were fields and shops. I also want to open an inn. ”

"I told my steward to help with the snow as much as I could. Now the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in Rongxue's hand have probably become some fields and shops in the south of the Yangtze River, and two inns have been set up on the road from southern Xinjiang to Lingnan. ”

Zhao Chongyi frowned and said, "Is she determined to marry Mu Li Gongzi?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Yes. There is also news from Mr. Muli's side. He and our uncle's business is very prosperous, and he will give us a dividend of 300,000 taels of silver this year. After Muli returned to southern Xinjiang, it is said that the queen was very happy and held a grand welcome ceremony for Muli's son. After a few days, he also sealed the younger brother of Mu Li Gongzi to a place near the sea in Mindi as the leader, which was considered to be a fief. He also had a fief for the son of Muli. However, the younger brother of Mu Li Gongzi went to the fiefdom, but Mu Li Gongzi was left behind to deal with some trade matters. ”

"Now, Mu Li has officially entered the political arena in southern Xinjiang, and I heard that he is still very supported by some nobles. After all, the prestige and popularity of the patriarch of the old Bai clan are there. ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "In this way, the emperor is estimated to be even happier, the more important the son of Muli is in southern Xinjiang, the more he will be able to help us in the future." However, the more dangerous it is for Mulli. You say, in this way, can I still marry Rongxue to him? ”

Spying isn't easy. Since the prince has chosen to rebel against the queen, this is undoubtedly dancing on the tip of the knife. In the future, if you follow him, won't you always encounter danger?

Chen Wenhui also understood this truth, she sighed and said: "This is everyone's fate. When we made love, you were fighting in the northwest, facing the barbarians, how dangerous was it? After we got married, we came to the northwest, not to mention the hard work, aren't you still leading the army to fight, isn't it dangerous? My parents don't know these things, how can they be willing to let me marry you? Don't you want to say that you can't resist me? Two people, this affection is the most important. There are lovers, and they are not afraid of any difficulties. His bear's paw, my arsenic. Everyone's choices are different, and their pursuits are different. We had to go down the slope of the snow. ”

Saying this, Zhao Chongyi sighed and understood.

Chen Wenhui said: "Master Mu Li originally planned to come to Dachu this year to ask for marriage. However, because he became a figure in the political arena of southern Xinjiang and was still in charge of errands, he couldn't go out easily. So, he's still planning it. However, he sent us a letter through his uncle, and he had already made a thorough plan, and probably would personally go to the capital next spring with the queen's will to ask for marriage. ”

Zhao Chongyi raised his eyebrows and said, "Before, he didn't plan to hide it from the queen and ask to marry Langxue first. When the emperor gave him a marriage, the queen had to accept it, and if she didn't accept it, she had to accept it, either she would disobey the holy decree or give Da Chu the opportunity to attack southern Xinjiang. Why have you changed your plans now? Do you want to get the Queen's consent first? There must be a story in this. However, if this thing is really done, it means that Master Mu Li is indeed capable. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "After reading the letter, I thought the same thing. Mr. Mu Li is indeed a talent. As soon as you get the opportunity, you immediately show your talent. We don't care about that, it's better. The queen asked him to come and ask for a marriage. In this way, in the future, if she marries Xue, the queen will not be able to bully her in the open. According to the agreement with you, the emperor will give Langxue a title such as a county lord, and then give a marriage, then the queen will not be able to play in front of Rongxue. Aren't we more at ease? ”

Speaking of this, Chen Wenhui could already imagine that the queen was deflated by herself, and couldn't help laughing.

Zhao Chongyi also understood that Chen Wenhui was laughing because of something. He didn't have a good impression of the queen, especially the queen's daughter who didn't know what to call it, and he couldn't help laughing when he imagined the future queen being deflated.

Chen Wenhui said: "Originally, if Mu Li Gongzi asked to marry this year, we would go back to the capital. But we are here at a critical moment, how to get out of the way? Now it's okay, Master Mu Li has to postpone, and we can go back to the capital later. If we go back next spring, we will be much more relaxed. ”

Zhao Chongyi smiled and said, "It's good." We can arrange it calmly, but you have to go back to the capital to see your father-in-law and mother-in-law later. ”

Chen Wenhui thought of Chen Yuanheng and Bai, and felt sad in her heart. It's been a long time since I've seen them. Especially after getting married, I feel that I will miss my parents a lot. Speaking of which, my daughter is really unfilial, it seems that she has been running outside all the time, and the time she really spends with her parents is really pitiful.

Zhao Chongyi saw that Chen Wenhui was in the middle of missing his parents, and couldn't help but blame himself very much, and said to Chen Wenhui: "We will make good arrangements now, and strive to go back to the capital next spring." ”

Chen Wenhui couldn't help laughing. While the two were still chatting, Shui Lian suddenly came in, and she said, "Tell the county lord, grandfather, there is news from the capital." ”

As he spoke, he brought a note from a carrier pigeon.

Zhao Chongyi and Chen Wenhui couldn't help but look closely. After reading it, I couldn't help but sigh for a long time. (To be continued......)
