Chapter 345: Spending the New Year Outside

After listening to Aaron's story, Chen Wenhui thought to herself, this may be the ethnic integration mentioned in the history books. In fact, these natives are also part of the Chinese nation, and a female singer that Chen Wenhui liked very much in her previous life was from the indigenous tribe of Yizhou Island.

From that day on, Chen Wenhui often chatted with Arun to learn about the aborigines of Yizhou Island and the disciples of the Hei family. Aaron also often asked Wen Hui about academic matters. What made Chen Wenhui feel funny was that Zhou Maocai copied a set of the three books of mathematics, chemistry, and physics and gave them to Alun. Therefore, when the three of Aaron studied together, there were many natural problems, there was nothing to do on the ship, and Chen Wenhui was also happy to give advice. Alun's rapid progress made Chen Wenhui sigh that this Alun is really a talented and intelligent person, and he is even more determined to take Alun for his own use.

The days passed quickly, and after sailing for five or six days, they arrived at the port of Xinguang City, which had entered the wax moon at this time, and was approaching the New Year. There were many fewer ships in the port of Xinguang City, because those merchants had also gone home for the New Year, which reminded Chen Wenhui of the Spring Festival in his previous life. No matter where Chinese go, they attach great importance to the concept of home.

Chen Wenhui got off the ship, everything on the ship, the loading and unloading of the goods, etc., were all handed over to Alun and Chen Wenjun to manage, she was fed up with the life on the ship, and couldn't wait to miss her family's house in Xinguang City in the car. Along the way from the port, through the curtains of the car windows, Chen Wenhui found that the smell of the New Year in Xinguang City was very strong, and there were more New Year's goods sold on the street. Do the math, I've been walking for almost two months, Xinguang City has changed a lot, the city's planning is more reasonable, it seems that the black family has played a role, and there are more pedestrians on the street. Most of these people have settled here. The merchants of the Central Plains have already returned.

Chen Wenhui thought, it seems that where did the Central Plains send people to Xinguang City, could it be that there is another disaster in the Central Plains?

Just as he was thinking, the carriage had stopped. Chen Wenhui saw that she had already arrived home. Chen Wenhui traveled all the way with great interest, and her house had begun to take shape, and there were more servants in the house. It is no longer desolate. is admiring, the upper room has arrived, this upper room is for Chen Wenjun and his wife, and the sister-in-law Wan Meizhen has already welcomed out.

Chen Wenhui and her sister-in-law chatted for a few words, Wan Meizhen saw the tired look on Chen Wenhui's little face, she was very distressed, and quickly pulled Chen Wenhui to Chen Wenhui's yard and forced Chen Wenhui to rest quickly.

Wan Meizhen waited for Chen Wenhui to clean up, rested, and instructed Chen Wenhui's maids to wait for her life. Then he returned to his yard. She also has a lot of things, and during the period of Chen Wenjun's absence, she has always been dealing with the affairs of the city, so she is very busy.

It's time to have lunch. Chen Wenjun just came back, and as soon as he came back, he asked his wife, how is his body during this period of time? Wan Meizhen smiled and said that it was okay, Chen Wenjun asked: "Why didn't you see my sister, she came back early?" ”

Wan Meizhen said with a smile: "She came back a long time ago and said a few words to me, and I saw that her little face was full of wind and frost and tiredness." was distressed, so she was asked to rest. Although Hui'er is very smart and capable, she is an eleven-year-old girl after all, and the girls of the ordinary family are still fighting grass and playing at this age, but she is running around all year round. It's really hard. ”

Chen Wenjun paused, thought for a while and said: "Well, ordinary ladies are still coquettish in their mother's arms at this age, she is already running around and taking care of the family's affairs." It's not easy, and it's too hard. In fact, she is a girl who can do better than me and my second brother, and sometimes I feel ashamed when I think about it. On the way back, I saw that Xinguang City was already very New Year's flavor, count the days, there are still a few days before the New Year, I have forgotten, it is no wonder, the climate here is very warm, and there is no snow, where is the feeling of the cold winter New Year? Have you prepared all the New Year's goods? This is the first time my sister has spent the New Year outside, and I don't know what my mother thinks of her at home? ”

Wan Meizhen said: "It's all ready, don't work these days, let's let Hui'er have a good rest, play, people say, every festival is more than home, I'm afraid that this is the New Year, Hui'er will miss her mother-in-law." ”

Here Chen Wenjun and Wan Meizhen are talking about the New Year, in Qingyang City, Huzhou, Jiangnan, the Bai family has already prepared the things for the New Year, and the whitewash and brushing have been organized to be done, and the gifts to each family, including those in the palace, the family in the capital, the second son in the clan, the relatives in the clan, those friends and relatives in the capital, and the people in Jiangnan who get along well have all been sent out.

There were also a lot of gifts for Chen Yuanheng, and the Bai family classified them one by one and gave gifts back to others. In this regard, Bai's has done a good job and does not leak.

When they are all done, their hearts begin to grow wildly with their children. On this day, Chen Yuanheng came back from outside in a cold air, and as soon as the door curtain was lifted, a gust of wind and snow came in, Bai quickly stood up to greet him, Chen Yuanheng said while unbuttoning his cloak and handing it to his wife: "It's snowing lightly outside, what are you doing at home?" ”

Bai Shi smiled sadly and said, "What else can you do?" I'm reading the letter written by Hui'er. Hey, this child, a girl's family is not home all day long, and she has gone so far away that she can't come back for the New Year. Speaking of which, we have three children, two sons, and a daughter, and now the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and none of them are around. ”

Tears are about to flow out of her eyes.

Chen Yuanheng silently hugged his wife and said: "You should be happy, our sons and daughters are so good, when other children are still spoiled in front of their parents at this time, our children have already gone out to make contributions." You see that our Hui'er, Lin'er, and Jun'er helped the princess take care of Shanghai City so well, and she was unanimously praised by the court. Now this battle is so smooth, and it has a lot to do with the fact that Shanghai City has made so much money and got so much food. Now it's even more powerful, our eldest son has become the city lord of Xinguang City, and the two brothers and sisters have gone to expand the territory of our Great Chu, which is a great cause that has urged the ages. We should be happy as parents. ”

Bai still couldn't lift his spirits: "I hope they are all ordinary and can surround me." It's going to be the New Year now, and I don't know how Hui'er is doing there? Have you prepared anything for the New Year, have you cut new clothes, have you added new jewelry, is there anyone to accompany her, is it cold or not, can you eat anything there? ”

Chen Yuanheng laughed and said, "Madam, your worries are unnecessary. There is no winter on Yizhou Island, and it doesn't snow, so it's not cold at all, and she probably doesn't even need to wear a padded jacket. Besides, these clothes, jewelry, food, and housing are all taken care of by her sister-in-law, I think the eldest daughter-in-law is very disciplined, and she is good friends with Hui'er, so she will not let Hui'er be wronged. What else are you worried about? ”

Bai Shi thought about it, but his longing diluted a little: "What the master said is that it's just that I, as a mother, can't help but worry." I want Wanshi to take good care of her. There is also Wen Jun watching. The two of them have loved their sister since they were young, and Hui'er was weak when she was a child, and every time she was sick, her brother and son stayed at the bedside. ”

Chen Yuanheng nodded and said: "Yes, Jun'er has done a good job in Xinguang City, and now he has subdued the black family, the biggest force on Yizhou Island, which is equivalent to taking the entire Yizhou Island into his hands." Jun'er also said in the letter that a route to Nanyang will be developed in the spring of next year, which is of great value. The South Seas are rich in spices, and there are many mineral deposits, and it is said that there are also gold mines. What a cornucopia. Our family business is getting bigger and bigger. ”

Bai smiled and said, "Do we still lack that little money now?" But it's all about planning for the future, and we want to be able to ask for it back in the future like those who owe us. ”

After saying the last sentence, Bai's face sank.

Chen Yuanheng said: "Mother Li, the second brother and the two sons, and the two eldest brothers owe us, we all have to come back." Now let them rejoice for a few days, but I will never forget the scene when your life was on the line. ”

Bai said: "That's okay, I just hate, how much did Hui'er suffer when she was a child, before she was six years old?" Every day is sick, I take more medicine than I eat, and I have been fighting life and death several times, how can I forget that kind of torment. When other children play innocently, our Hui'er has been suffering from illness, how can we forget it? Now Wen Feng's girl has come to me for three days and two times, hum, is this so, have I forgotten the poisonous hands that her parents did to us back then? There is also the second brother and his family who poisoned us with their own hands, can this hatred be forgotten? ”

Chen Yuanheng nodded and said: "It's not too late to take revenge, we can't startle the snakes, we have to follow them for the time being, after all, we are not yet the time to tear our faces." Our children also understand, don't you see? Wen Hui took the initiative to send Cui Qiao to serve Aunt Wang, the fourth prince, this is for the future, we must take the future in our hands, so that we can take revenge completely, otherwise, once the imperial power or the patriarch interferes, everything will come to naught. ”

Bai Shi nodded and said, "I woke up with this, but Yaozhen's child has also changed now, does Hui'er know?" Still so sincere to her? ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Madam, you are a fan of the authorities, Hui'er is shrewd? Can Aunt Wang's idea be hidden from Hui'er? Now it's just taking advantage of each other. Hui'er had long been aware of Wang Yihe's family's dissent. Didn't you see that Hui'er deliberately set up a bank by herself? It's like singing against Wang Yihe. This is beating Wang Yihe, and it is also beating Aunt Wang. Let them all understand that even if they climb the high branches, they will not be able to stand firm without our support from behind. ”
