Chapter 241: Lady Management

After arriving at the City Lord's Mansion in Shin Kong City, everyone felt that the City Lord's Mansion was really beautiful. In fact, it is not that this city lord's mansion looks extravagant and luxurious, on the contrary, this mansion does not feel like a mansion at all, on the contrary, it is like a large garden, of course, there are many buildings, but these buildings are integrated with nature, very harmonious. This is an eye-opener for the sons and brothers who are used to seeing wealthy mansions.

The protection of this mansion is not very strict, every qiē is very natural, Duan Huaiyu while enjoying the scenery of the mansion, while asking: "This mansion is so big, how to protect it on weekdays?" ”

Chen Wenjun said with a smile: "Our Xinguang City is not Shanghai City, the population here is much smaller, and most of them live in farms outside the city. There are no natives who oppose us here, Yizhou Island has been educated by the black family for nearly a thousand years, and there are no hostile forces for a long time. Therefore, we are all unguarded, just put some guards and patrols in the courtyards where the master lives. Not to mention my mansion, even the city defense of the entire Shinguang City is not what we do, I hired the Black Iron Army of the Black Family. I don't have to worry about that at all. The Hei family is well-trained, and in my opinion, it is stronger than the soldiers and horses of the imperial court. ”

Tian Jingye and the others suddenly realized, this is really a special situation, but Duan Huaiyu is suspicious of the Black Iron Army, can it be more powerful than the army of the imperial court?

Tian Jingye asked: "Such a beautiful mansion must have been designed by the master of the Hei family?" ”

Chen Wenjun laughed and said: "Jingye, you guessed very right, this is the proud work of the master of the Hei family, not only the entire mansion and the garden are designed by the master of the Hei family, but every grass and tree here is cultivated and planted by the people of the Hei family." ”

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at the tropical plants around them and nodded. Chen Wenjun said: "Actually. This is also not something to envy. Yizhou Island is vast and sparsely populated, so I can build such a big house. In the Central Plains, this is impossible. Especially in the capital, where every inch of land is valuable. This house is big, and if it is well designed, it will look beautiful. In the future, you can also ask the master of the Black Family to design the house in your own city on Luzon, and maybe you can build something more beautiful than mine. It doesn't cost much. Even if I don't stay in Nanyang in the future. It is also reserved for the elderly after getting old, anyway, the land here is very cheap, and the labor is also very cheap. It's nothing more than spending some money on materials. ”

Everyone's hearts were moved when he said this. These people are all from a family and are very good at enjoying it, how can they let go of such an opportunity to enjoy.

Duan Huaiyu first said: "I like this place very much. If nothing else, the climate is really good. This midwinter weather. It is really strange that there are flowers in full bloom and fragrant fruits. ”

Everyone watched the fruit trees in the garden bear fruit, and the big flowers were in full bloom. As he was talking, he suddenly smelled a fragrance on his nose, and everyone was shocked. Bai Junyi first said: "This is the fragrance of osmanthus flowers." Osmanthus blooms in August, and it's winter. How can there be the fragrance of osmanthus? ”

Chen Wenjun pointed to the side of the road and said, "Look, isn't that osmanthus?" The climate here is very strange, and the osmanthus flowers bloom in winter. ”

When everyone saw it, it was not a golden cinnamon that was blooming, and it was fragrant. Everyone was amazed.

After a while, I walked to a large hall, where a banquet had been arranged, and at this time everyone found out that Wen Hui was gone, Tian Jingye hurriedly asked: "Sister Wen Hui, why is she not here?" Where did it go? Don't be too big and get lost. ”

Chen Wenjun smiled: "This house is what she participated in the construction, how could she get lost?" She went to the courtyard where she lived to settle down, maybe she had to freshen up, and she wanted to eat with her insiders for this feast, so she wouldn't make trouble with us. ”

Tian Jingye hurriedly said: "How can this work, everyone is actually relatives, where is the use to avoid it, please come over with my sister-in-law, it will be more lively." ”

Chen Wenjun was originally very worried that his sister would lead these children of the family to build Luzon Island, he knew the temperament of these children of the family who were above the top, how could his sister be a little girl? However, everyone respected Wen Hui very much, and even Wen Hui had to be present at the banquet, and suddenly felt a lot of relief.

Chen Wenjun was about to speak, but Chen Wenlin opened his mouth and said, "Brothers, don't be humble, Wen Hui won't come." She had been away from Yizhou Island for a long time, and she was about to talk to her sister-in-law, who were originally close friends, and she might not be able to finish it until dinner in the evening. ”

As he was talking, a maid wearing a lotus-colored gauze skirt and a simple hosta on her head came. Everyone saw that it was the big girl Yujin beside Chen Wenhui. Yujin saluted everyone and said, "Our girl said, please don't wait for her to eat." She has something to do these days, and the sons will be entertained by the eldest young master. Please have a good visit to Shin Kong City, and we will leave in five days. ”

Tian Jingye and the others looked at each other, and Chen Wenlin said with a smile: "Look, I'll just say that as soon as we come to Xinguang City, it is estimated that Wen Hui will not have time to accompany us." She has been away here for a year, and she has a lot of things to deal with, where can she have time to eat and drink with us and visit Xinguang City. Alright, cousins, let's start the feast. In the past few days, I have been bothering my eldest brother to accompany us to visit Xinguang City. ”

Tian Jingye had to say: "Okay, it's really embarrassing, Sister Wen Hui is a girl, much busier than us." This is really a lot of hard work. Okay, we'll trouble Brother Wen Jun. It's really Brother Wen Jun who is now the lord of the city, with a high position and power, there must be a lot of things to be busy, where is there so much leisure time to accompany us? It would be better to send a steward to accompany us. Everyone is their own brother, so don't talk about false texts, and focus on official business. ”

Chen Wenjun smiled and said: "This doesn't matter, in fact, my wife manages more of the affairs of Xinguang City than me, and I can still spare time in the past few days." It's been a long time since we've been together, and today we're still not drunk. ”

Now Chen Wenqi is a little curious, he has never seen this daughter-in-law of his cousin, and he doesn't look down on it in the mansion, his grandmother has said countless times in front of them, especially his wife Bai Yuying, the eldest daughter-in-law that the third lady is looking for is really not very good, how can she find a daughter of a businessman who has no foundation? Such a woman is not qualified to be a concubine for a disciple of the family, how can she be a sect wife. Although she is only a small sect woman, she needs a noble-born and well-educated woman to take on it. even threatened that such a granddaughter-in-law was not worthy of entering the door of the Chen family's mansion.

However, such a younger brother and sister who was criticized by his grandmother, mother, and even his wife, now Chen Wenjun told everyone that most of Xinguang City's affairs were managed by her. At this moment, not only Chen Wenqi was very curious, everyone was curious, only Chen Wenlin's face was as usual, as if this was a normal thing.

You must know that this world is a man's world, women can only live in the inner house, and even women who are illiterate can only have children. The family is slightly better, the women are literate, and they can manage the affairs of the house, but no woman can manage the affairs of the court. is the empress who is deeply trusted by the emperor, and the eldest princess is only influencing the government through some people, and she has never managed government affairs by herself.

There are also some jokes in the officialdom, saying that an official has no ability, on the contrary, his wife is very capable, he has to tell his wife everything to get an idea, of course, it is all secret, but once it is known by everyone, it will be passed on as a laughing stock.

However, Chen Wenjun said so generously that the affairs of Xinguang City are managed by Mrs. Wang, and now everyone doesn't know what to say, and the scene suddenly became a little cold.

Chen Wenjun is a very smart person, and he immediately knew the reason for the coldness, and he smiled and invited everyone to sit at the table, while explaining: "Actually, this woman manages government affairs very often, didn't the emperor appoint Wen Hui as the governor of Nanyang?" Ruling over the four cities of the South Seas? Not to mention, isn't the financial officer of Shanghai City Wan Shuhui? Is that also a woman, or a woman who used to be a concubine? ”

Everyone was a little relieved when they heard this, this is true, their top boss is the little girl Chen Wenhui, but after this period of contact, Chen Wenhui's intelligence and ability have subverted everyone's common sense, no one regards Chen Wenhui as a little girl, and even looks at her face, looking at him for him.

Even if you don't talk about Wen Hui, Wan Shuhui still knows it. Although I didn't meet Wan Shuhui this time, but back then, when Wan Shuhui opened a bank in the capital, she went in and out of major banquet venues and mansions of wealthy families, everyone had seen it, and people could not only do the bank's business well, but also were promoted by Princess Lichuan to be the financial officer of Shanghai City and the court official of Zhengsanpin.

Thinking about it this way, everyone doesn't feel so abrupt about Wan's management of Xinguang City's affairs. Chen Wenjun continued: "My wife is very capable, she is a good businessman, after marrying me, she learned very quickly, and when she was in Shanghai City, she had already assisted Princess Lichuan in managing some affairs in Shanghai City, so she was very familiar with it, and after coming to Xinguang City, she was also very handy in management." In addition, I have a lot of affairs, not only to manage the affairs of Xinguang City, but also to manage the entire Yizhou Island, and even some affairs of the Wa Kingdom, and also to take care of our Chen family's fleet and business, naturally I don't have so much time and energy to manage the affairs of Xinguang City, so I can only leave it to my wife to take care of. Fortunately, Mrs. is very capable and manages very well, so I'll take you around Xinguang City and you'll know. ”

Everyone sat down one after another, looking at Chen Wenjun's proud look for his wife, they were all a little speechless, and at the same time they felt a little touched in their hearts. (To be continued)

ps: Thank you for subscribing, I was about to lose my passion for writing these days, because the subscriptions were pitiful. However, it is also appropriate to think about it. I didn't keep a double shift for three months, or even broke a shift. There's no way, it's not what I originally thought. Because of the three times in between, one was to take the children out to play for more than half a month in the summer. One time was when my husband's grandmother died suddenly and went home for a few days. This time it's because of the Chinese New Year, and the relatives are here, and they have been busy for a long time. In this case, I am embarrassed to ask everyone for subscriptions and tickets. Can only be silently renewed to ask for forgiveness.

However, today I turned on the computer and saw that I had subscribed so much, and I was really moved, so I didn't say anything, but I could only continue to code words.
