Chapter 54: In exchange for riches

Chen Guifei said to Princess Lichuan: "However, I have an idea about buying land in Nanyang as you said. ”

Princess Lichuan asked, "What does the mother think?" Do you want to buy land in Nanyang? ”

Chen Guifei said: "What do I want to do with those lands? I'm the only one with you, and you're so rich now, where can you still use my money, why should I bother to earn that money? I have to spend my whole life in this palace, where can I shorten my usefulness. It's you, now is the heyday, don't you let the people buy some land in Nanyang, anyway, you can't spend so much silver, why do you put it in vain? It is better to buy a piece of industry in Nanyang, so that there is a way out in the future. ”

Princess Lichuan fell silent when she said this. After a while, he said: "The concubine is very worried, and after a while, I will go to Shanghai City, and I will go with the horse to deal with this matter." Actually, the mother concubine didn't talk about it today, and I have been thinking about it all the time. Because, I saw that the sister of the concubine was married to Princess Jingzhen's family. Princess Jingzhen was very powerful back then, but you see, since the princess died, the life of the Qi family has become increasingly difficult, and it is chilling to watch, I am really afraid that I will be in one day, and my father will love me, if my father is a hundred years old, it will naturally be my brothers who ascend the throne, even if it is not my own brother, but I am also the eldest princess, and I can naturally bless the health of Xufu. Even if the sons of my brothers ascend the throne, I am not afraid, then I am their aunt, and naturally I can enjoy wealth and prosperity, but if I am gone, just like Princess Jingzhen's family, then what will my children and grandchildren fall into? I can't think about it. Therefore, as soon as Wen Hui talked about buying land in Nanyang that day, I thought that it would be better to buy an industry in Nanyang, which is far away from the Central Plains, and in the future, the children and grandchildren will not be able to mix in the Central Plains, so they can go to Nanyang and be a rich man. ”

Chen Guifei nodded, stroked her daughter's hair lovingly, and said, "Lichuan, your worries are very right. This is the principle of being prepared for danger in times of peace. Now that you've thought of it, hurry up and do it. ”

Princess Lichuan nodded. At this time, the palace maid Yu'er came to report: "Niangniang, princess." It has just been reported that the emperor asked someone to draw up his will early this morning, and asked someone to send it to Chen's house to read it. It was for the six girls to be named the county lord. Canonized as the county lord of Simin. ”

Princess Lichuan and Concubine Chen Guifei glanced at each other, and Princess Lichuan said, "Why did my father make up his mind." Now, according to the regulations of our royal family, there are canonized county lords, and county lords can live freely outside, and they can even go out separately. In the future, Sister Wen Hui can officially follow me to play in the social circle, and she can do things for our Yangshan Hall and hospital. You can also help us do business, mother, don't you know, she is really the best at settling accounts. ”

Chen Guifei smiled, but said, "There must be something in this that we don't know." A few days ago, I heard the palace maids who served your father and emperor also said that your father was a little undecided, and he originally wanted to let Wen Hui enter the palace, because I made a decree to let Wen Hua and Wen Juan enter the palace, and your father would not let Wen Hui enter the palace. In this way, your father thought. There is Wen Feng in the Fourth Prince's Mansion, and he manages the palace very well, but his favorite Third Prince's Mansion is a mess because there is no woman with good housekeeping ability, so he wants Wen Hui to enter the Third Prince's Mansion. ”

Princess Lichuan looked surprised: "Oh my God, if the third brother's messy mansion goes in." Wen Hui's life is ruined. ”

Chen Guifei nodded and said, "Yes, no matter how you say it, she is also my own niece, how can I watch her become an enemy and ruin her life." Besides, if she really entered the Three Princes' Mansion. Then your third uncle will definitely turn to support the third prince, isn't this going to fight with us? I can't allow that to happen. These days, I've been thinking about how to get your father to dispel this idea, and how do you know that it will be solved today, which is really a good thing. ”

Princess Lichuan laughed. It doesn't matter what the reason is, as long as the wish is fulfilled.

In the evening, Chen Guifei suddenly received news that the emperor was going to eat in her palace, and Chen Guifei was busy asking someone to prepare.

The emperor arrived as promised. After dinner, the emperor did not leave in a hurry, Princess Lichuan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the concubine heard from the people who served in the house that the emperor ordered Qian Concubine today, right?" Let's ask the emperor to drive over. Don't let Sister Qian wait in a hurry. ”

The emperor smiled and said, "You are such virtuous, you can't do it after the abolition." Well, I'll go for a while, and I want to talk to you. ”

Chen Guifei listened, sat down very meekly, listener.

The emperor looked at Chen Guifei and said, "I heard that your house and shop have been sold?" It's for the people of the black family, right? The black family is really wealthy, right? ”

Chen Guifei smiled slightly and said, "I was about to tell the emperor that it was sold to the Hei family." It was sold by the niece of the concubine, and I heard that the emperor had given her the title of county lord. And thank the emperor for his grace. This house and shop were sold for a total of 600,000 taels of silver. ”

The emperor was also a little surprised: "Why, are there so many?" Didn't the Chen family only prepare 100,000 taels of silver in this regard? The other 100,000 taels are clothes, jewelry, treasures, cloth, and two farms in Gyeonggi. ”

Chen Guifei said affectionately: "It turns out that the emperor still remembers such a long time." Yes, that's how it was prepared. However, has the emperor forgotten jì? At that time, we were all in the Prince's Mansion, and the emperor encountered a big crisis, and several of our sisters took out their respective dowries to the emperor, even the crown princess Sister Li. It just so happens that several of us have a private house for marriage on the edge of the imperial city. The emperor said that it is not necessary to use so much silver, those treasures and the like are not easy to sell, and it will also make people realize that these houses, the geographical location is very good, and they are not big, so they should be sold very well, and those treasures, cloths, and jewelry are all used by our sisters every day, and the shops and fields can be profitable, which can be used by our sisters. Only these houses are left in vain, so it is better to sell these houses. The emperor also said to a few of us, husband and wife are of the same heart, and their profits are broken, and our family will work together to get through the difficulties, and if we have the world in the future, we will definitely repay us. ”

A few words brought the emperor to those years, it was a precarious time, but the house was peaceful, and everyone worked together to face every crisis. Thinking of this, the emperor said: "Well, I seem to see the face of the crown princess Li, she is still so young and beautiful, she is my wife, and I am my cousin, how can I forget her?" There is also Bai Liangdi, who is also gentle and kind, and of course, there is the intelligent and atmospheric Yuanqing, and ......"

The emperor suddenly stopped and said nothing.

Chen Guifei sneered in her heart, what else, why don't you say it, and the Wang family, it has been abolished. and the emperor's most beloved Ying, who has long been kicked out. What else does it say that husband and wife are of the same heart, and their profits are gold, they are just stepping stones for the emperor to climb up. Of course, back then, they decisively took out all the dowries to the emperor, exchanging the dowry for wealth, where is the husband and wife concentric? Husband and wife, husband and wife, monogamy, but how many women were there in the prince's mansion at that time, and which one was a wife? The crown princess, or the four Liangdi, or the emperor's concubines, or the emperor's favorite and favorite Ying's family?

Thinking like this in her heart, Chen Guifei's face was still intoxicated and affectionate and said: "Later, the emperor ascended to the big treasure, and we all entered the palace as concubines. It was really a small house that was sold at the beginning, and when it was bought, the emperor merged the houses of the officials who committed crimes next to the house into our small house. So our house is much bigger. In the inner city, where every inch of land is at a premium, every house can also have a garden and a lake. The emperor also sent people from the Ministry of Industry very intimately to renovate the house, and the decoration inside was also extremely luxurious. It's all useful stuff. After the new house was built, the emperor also led us out of the palace to see our respective houses, and in those days, we feasted and drank in the new house every day, which was very happy. So, later, my situation was not good, and many things around me were used, but only that small house was not willing to sell, because there were many beautiful and sweet memories there. ”

The emperor was also very emotional when he heard this, and held Chen Guifei's hand, unable to speak for a while.

Chen Guifei said: "For so many years, the house I have been cherishing has now been taken out and exchanged for silver, does the emperor know why?" ”

The emperor said: "I understand the heart of the concubine. Concubine Ai said that it was for our premature emperor, of course, this is part of the reason, in fact, it is mainly for me. Before I ascended the throne, I had great ambitions, and first, the four major families in the world have held power for too long, and I want to change this. Second, the people of this world are too miserable, and I want to let them live a good life. However, after I ascended the throne, I found that the four major families were intertwined, and they could move wherever they wanted. Forget this, even for the benefit of the people, I didn't do it. Because of the constant fighting of the barbarians, we are constantly fighting, and the people have been enduring heavy taxes. Officials at all levels only care about themselves, where do they care about the lives and deaths of the people? In order to help me fulfill my wish, Concubine Ai took out all the money to do things for the people? Isn't it? However, I am confused, I was used after being abolished a few years ago, and I have always been bad to my concubine, and I have suffered for many years. Now that I have been imprisoned after the abolition, I will definitely be good to my concubine in the future, and I must compensate for everything I owe to my concubine. ”

Chen Guifei didn't speak, just looked at the emperor affectionately.

Today's two shifts are too difficult, and the backstage is too difficult to enter.
