Chen Wenhui said: "Master, since this is the case, you should hurry up and ask someone to bring the pair of brothers and sisters over." By the way, are you going back to Deqing? ”

Wu Lixia said: "Yes, this adoption of an heir is a big deal, and it must be approved by the clan." I'm going to do it myself, and no one else can replace it. I plan to go back to Deqing, and I will ask the lobby brother Wu Dalin to follow, and I will leave the matter of dealing with the clan to him. And my eldest brother knows about this, and now he is the biggest official in our clan, and he is very prestigious, he asked my eldest nephew to follow, and with him to follow, things must be going a lot. What's more, my eldest brother also wrote a letter to the patriarch. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Then the master should hurry up and pack up his things and go." ”

Wu Lixia said: "However, this will be your birthday soon, if I go, I still have to do something, where can I come back." I thought, why don't you wait until your birthday is over, and I'll go back? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Originally, I wanted the master to accompany me for my birthday. However, when I thought of the two brothers and sisters who were still suffering, I couldn't wait to do this thing quickly. My birthday is the eleventh birthday, it's a scattered birthday, it doesn't matter, the master should go and do serious things. ”

Wu Lixia thought for a while, nodded and said, "Since you want to do good, it is indeed better to save the two brothers and sisters." I'll leave tomorrow. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Does the master take the water route or the land route?" ”

Wu Lixia said: "The waterway is naturally more comfortable, but the waterway is too slow, and I am worried that the two children will be able to suffer one day less if they arrive early." Let's go by road. Anyway, my eldest nephew and I are both from kung fu training, and this horseback riding and the like are still not a problem, but my lobby brother is weaker, but I also get acquainted with the body, because I often survey the shops everywhere, this horseback riding and walking by land are also more, so let's go by land. I'll let them know. Get out of the house now. ”

Chen Wenhui laughed: "Master, it's night now." Are you still out of the house? ”

Wu Lixia said: "What are you afraid of, I'll go now." ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Okay, you go." You don't have to worry about buying a house. Anyway, I know what the master likes, this repairs the house. Decoration, buy furniture, the master didn't understand, I did it all together, and the custodian master came back as soon as he was ready. ”

Wu Lixia smiled embarrassedly: "You know I don't know any of this." I'll leave it all to you, and I'll leave it all to you to buy servants, train servants, find housekeepers, and so on, and I don't know anything. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Okay." I know all this, just hand it over to Chen Cai and his wife. Chen Cai's housekeeper helped me buy a house, and Chen Cai's family bought people for you, including housekeepers and cooks. The maid, the groom, and the rough mother-in-law have all done it for you. ”

Wu Lixia smiled.

Chen Wenhui suddenly remembered something: "By the way, the master's eldest maid Nuanyu has followed the master for so many years, and it is okay to have experience, so it is better for me to ask my mother for her deed of sale and give it to the master." From now on, he is considered a member of the master's family, and he manages the inner house for the master, which is very good. ”

Wu Lixia thought for a while and said: "Nuan Yu has been following me for so many years, although she is not very old, but she is careful in her mind, and she is in charge of me now." I really can't live without her. Can you help me ask her if she would like to follow me? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Okay, I'll do all this, master go quickly." ”

Wu Lixia went with a smile.

Chen Wenhui waited until Wu Lixia was about to leave the house, and hurriedly instructed again: "Master." Remember to bring more silver tickets back, and when you go back, ask the master's nephew to take the master to send something to the clan, or donate a little silver to the clan, so that things will be much easier to do. Give a little more silver to the family who wants to pass on, and the stepmother who thinks about coming to that family must be able to talk a lot if she has silver. ”

Wu Lixia nodded.

When Wu Lixia left, Chen Wenhui chatted with Qiu Bi. Qiu Bi said: "The master has also taught us kung fu for so many years, and now that she has an heir, we also have to make a difference." In this way, a few of our maids will go and help Steward Chen Cai buy her a house. ”

Lu Ya said: "Counting it up, there are a lot of maids in our house who follow Master Wu to learn kung fu, and even the nurse follows to learn boxing to strengthen the body." We don't have anything else to help, so let's contact these people who have learned kung fu from Master Wu, and everyone will assign them to embroider some curtains, chairs, and quilts for Master Wu's house. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "Well, very good, you all have hearts." ”

The next day, Chen Wenhui asked Yujin to find Chen Cai and his wife early in the morning, and told Chen Cai and his wife about it.

Chen Cai said: "It just so happens that I am looking for a house for Mrs. Hu these days, and I have also seen a number of houses, one of which is next to us, just behind our house, if you go out from the back door, walk fifty steps, it is very close, a small house, that is, three entrances, five houses, there are three rooms on both sides, there is a group room behind, there are seven or eight rooms, just can be used as a residence for the next person." It's a pity that there is no garden. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "That's right, this place is good, close to the house, so it is convenient for Master Wu to take care of me." There is no garden out of the way, and Master Wu lives in our house most of the time. The garden in our house is beautiful. As for the two children, they didn't care if they had a garden or not. Master Wu originally said that it was enough to ask for a two-entry house, but I thought that because it was a man and a woman with two children, there was a difference between men and women, and it was better for girls to live in the backyard. In this way, the best three entrances are for boys, the middle is the master's residence, and finally for girls. Just right. How much does it cost? Is the house old? How to repair it, and how long will it take? ”

Chen Cai said: "The house is eighty percent new, it was originally a foreign merchant's house, and now if you want to go back, you have to sell the house." Because there are people living all the time, the house is still very well preserved, and you can live in it with a little repair. The price is not cheap, so it has not been sold yet. ”

Chen Wenhui asked, "How much?" ”

Chen Caijia said: "Such a small house costs 20,000 taels of silver." Furniture is not included. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "There is no problem with 20,000 taels, as for the furniture, even if he wants to give it to us, we don't want it." Our furniture is made to order the latest furniture from the black shop, and we also use the finest wood. By the way, there is no need to buy those chairs and curtains in this house, Qiu Bi and Lu Ya said that they have all learned kung fu from their masters, and they want to take this opportunity to enter filial piety and do it by themselves. ”

Chen Caijia smiled and said: "That's good, but it costs 20,000 taels to buy a house, and I estimate that I can talk about it for another 1,000 taels of silver, and the furniture and items for this house will cost about 5,000 taels." This is also because we took the purchase price from the black family. ”

Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "No problem, Qiu Bi will give you a silver ticket in a while, you hurry up." By the way, there is also the repair of the house, not sloppy, although the house is in good condition, I want to be beautiful and exquisite, I invited a craftsman, repair from the new, this floor tiles, bluestone road, flowers and plants planted in the yard, stone benches, seats, by the way, there is also a swing frame where the backyard girl lives. There is also a verandah built so that you can walk around the house even when it rains. And the beams of the house must be painted, and the bricks must be carved. Do you understand? This is for Master Wu, you can't be sloppy, don't be afraid of spending money, I asked Qiu Bi to get you 40,000 taels of silver, don't be afraid of spending money. ”

Chen Cai hurriedly agreed and said, "The girl is really filial piety, Master Wu must be very moved when she comes back." ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said to Chen Cai's family: "Chen Cai's family, I want to trouble you to buy maids, servants, cooks, housekeepers, grooms and other subordinates now, and put them in our house for training first." ”

Chen Caijia said: "Girl rest assured, the slave maid also learned boxing with Master Wu, since the daily boxing, the body is a lot stronger, the slave maid must do this thing with heart, personally trained, must be prepared for Master Wu intimate, understand the rules, can do things, diligent subordinates." ”

Chen Wenhui nodded and said, "I'll ask Qiu Bi to withdraw 10,000 taels of silver for you in a while, don't be afraid to spend money, use the best, it's best to prepare both horses and carriages." The furniture in this room, as well as bedding, chairs, curtains, curtains, etc., Qiu Bi and they will help you get them together, and they must be comfortable, beautiful, generous and exquisite. ”

Chen Cai's family agreed.

Chen Wenhui nodded, she had other things, so she asked Chen Cai and his wife to go back, and she herself went to ask the Bai family to say goodbye, briefly said this matter, and went out. She hasn't completely let go yet, and she has to check the accounts of the hospital and the Sanshin Hall every day. I also have to find Tang Guanghui of the black family to discuss the construction of the painting hall.

Bai listened to Chen Cai's report, and also listened to the arrangement of his daughter, and said very satisfied: "Hui'er is a kind-hearted child, and she knows how to repay her kindness, Master Wu has paid so much for so many years, Hui'er is to spend some money, and it is also appropriate to make some efforts, and it is her duty to respect the teacher." It's just that she thinks so thoughtfully, I don't have any room to exert my strength. ”

Chen Caijia laughed.

While he was talking here, a messenger suddenly came to the palace and invited the Bai family to enter the palace to meet the imperial concubine. Bai hurriedly dressed up, asked the red carp to take the things, and followed the messenger in the palace into the palace.

Speaking of which, recently, the imperial concubine Niangniang often called the Bai family into the palace. In comparison, among the three concubines of the Chen family, the imperial concubine Niangniang admires the Bai family the most, because the Bai family is smart and atmospheric, which is much stronger than the Wang family's petty family spirit and the Li family's selfishness.

The imperial concubine Niangniang originally relied on Princess Lichuan to grasp the movements of the foreign wife, but now that Lichuan has gone to Shanghai City, she naturally relies on the Bai family to help her grasp the movements of the foreign woman.

When the Bai family arrived at the palace of the imperial concubine, they found that Shi Guiren was also there, and they were a little surprised, and after greeting each other, Shi Guiren said to the Bai family: "Mrs. Chen, I don't know what Wen Hui is busy with now, are you learning to paint with the teacher?" ”

ps：

Finally kicked out today, and now it's still in the process of catching up, because there is a parent-teacher meeting in the child's kindergarten on Friday, and you can't code words, so you have to rush out in advance, it's really hard.
