Chapter 70: Promotion
As soon as I walked into the yard, I heard Mingzhu still scolding there. Wen Hui hurriedly entered the house, and when she saw Mingzhu scolding angrily, and a few maids were persuading, she said, "Sister, what are you doing?" I know everything, do you think pearls are angry, and I still think pearls are pitiful? ”
One sentence said Mingzhu: "Where is the pearl pitiful?" In the past, she was shameless, and she was ready to seduce Lord Chen, but now she is even more shameless, and she went directly to be a concubine for the old man? ”
Wen Hui said as she pulled Mingzhu to sit down: "Sister, what do you think, which daughter's family doesn't want to marry a handsome lover, who wants to be a concubine?" Isn't this your father's work? Otherwise, she is a deep daughter, where does she have the ability to go to the provincial capital to meet Lord Thorn Shi? ”
When Mingzhu heard it, he thought about it and said: "It's still Xu Zhijie who is bad, not only ignoring my mother and me, but also treating Pearl." ”
Wen Hui handed a cup of tea to Mingzhu and said: "No matter how bad he is, he is also the father who gave birth to you, you must not call him by his name in front of people in the future, if you dislike him, just call him Lord Xu." It's still you who won't suffer. ”
Mingzhu hurriedly said: "I know this, but I am in a hurry." Besides, aren't there no outsiders? ”
Wen Hui smiled: "I know that you are still measured." Sister, do you want to think that you didn't follow Aunt Hu out, but stayed in the Xu family, then Lord Xu can first exchange the pearl for the official position, and then take the pearl for the official position, who will be next? ”
Mingzhu immediately said, "Will it be me next?" ”
Wen Hui smiled and didn't answer, just looked at Mingzhu. Mingzhu thinks about it, Xu Zhijie is really a person who can do this kind of thing.
Mingzhu drank the tea slowly, and said while thinking: "I'm afraid that Lord Xu has already had such a heart, otherwise, why did he spend money to hire someone to teach Pearl and Baozhu to dance since he was a child, play the piano, play the piano, and dance is not something that ordinary people will teach their daughters." Also, when we were so young, our father asked us to go to the party. Although I was among the female dependents, I saw that the other families were brought out by their wives, but our sisters came out by themselves, and I used to think that it was because he hated my mother, and it seemed that even if he doted on my mother, he would let us come out alone. That's a chance. ”
Wen Hui still didn't speak. Mingzhu's eyes gradually became wet, and then fell into the teacup one by one.
Wen Hui got up and snatched the teacup from Mingzhu's hand, held Mingzhu's hand, and said, "Sister, now you know why Aunt Hu has to leave, right?" ”
Mingzhu cried even harder: "Sister, I'm really stupid, I always thought it was because my mother couldn't get by, but now I know it's for me." ”
Wen Hui said: "Actually, Aunt Hu is very strong, when Lord Xu tortured her, she didn't flinch, when her mother-in-law tortured her, she didn't flinch, and even broke off relations with her mother's family, she did it, and later Lord Xu spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, she also endured it, why did she have to divorce at that time?" ”
Mingzhu shouted softly: "It's for me, it's for me, my mother saw that Lord Xu could exchange pearls and jewels for official positions, and she would use me in the future, so she resolutely reconciled." ”
Chen Wenhui patted Mingzhu lightly and said: "It's good that my sister knows, don't worry about the affairs of the Xu family, fortunately, you have come out, and you are doing well, you are not short of food and clothing now, and Aunt Hu is also living freely, no matter what they do, besides, I tell you, Lord Xu's abacus is about to fail, my father is about to be promoted, and he is going to become the prefect of Deqing City." The county order of Ancheng is not the turn of Lord Xu, and it has already been decided that it is Lord Huang's. ”
Mingzhu hurriedly asked: "Is it Yu Yan's sister's house?" ”
Chen Wenhui nodded.
Mingzhu burst into tears and smiled again: "This is good, it's really an eye-opener." ”
Chen Wenhui said again: "Do you think it's as simple as Lord Xu just didn't get the county order position? ”
Mingzhu wondered: "What else could there be?" ”
Chen Wenhui smiled: "Sister, do you want to enter the mansion of Lord Thorn Shi with the temperament of Pearl, I heard that there are many concubines in Lord Thorn Shi's back house, what do you say will happen to Pearl?" ”
Mingzhu laughed: "Yes, Pearl is arrogant, has no brains, and is just a little bit, if she becomes a wife and is taken care of by her father, it is nothing, now, I'm afraid it's a bad time." Don't think about her, we live ours, Hengzhu has nothing to do with us, by the way, your family went to Deqing, what should we do? ”
Chen Wenhui was very happy to see Mingzhu regain her senses, it seems that Mingzhu is still very kind. Pearl used to bully her so much, but she still thought about her father's sake, and was unhappy for her to be a concubine, and now she has the opportunity to see pearl jokes, and ordinary people must find a way to inquire about Pearl's house fight, but she gently exposed it. It seems that he didn't look at the wrong person at the beginning.
Thinking of this, he smiled and said to Mingzhu: "You don't have to worry about this." Your stepmother and Aunt Hu have just discussed. ”
After speaking, he told Mingzhu about the results of the discussion between the Hu family and the Bai family just now. Mingzhu clapped her hands happily when she heard this. In this way, their family can also go to Deqing, they don't have to be separated from the Bai family and Wen Hui, and Deqing City is a capital city, I heard that it is bigger than Ancheng and more prosperous than Ancheng, she has long wanted to go shopping, and now she can live there, how good.
was happy and suddenly remembered something and said: "We are still together, but these friends of ours, like Sister Yaozhen, Sister Caiyu, Sister Yingyu, Sister Shuyu, Sister Yuyan, and Sister Qiaozhen, can't we see each other?" ”
When Chen Wenhui heard this, she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
Chen Wenhui stayed at Hu's house until dinner before going home, and when she returned home, she went to Bai's upper room first. It just so happened that Chen Yuanheng was also there.
Chen Yuanheng said to Chen Wenhui with a happy face: "Hui'er, I told Wang Yihe and Lan Shanghan about my promotion today, and asked them about their plans. In the afternoon, they gave me a reply. They all have to go to Deqing with me. ”
Chen Wenhui was overjoyed when she heard it, this is good, she was still sad about separating from her little sisters during the day, but now she is fine, it is really an unexpected joy, and she is busy asking what is going on.
Chen Yuanheng said: "Wang Yihe said that his business is mainly the business of grain trading and money farming, and the grain trading is very good, all over the province, and the head office is located in Ancheng or Deqing, which is better in Deqing, after all, it is Fucheng." Qian Zhuang must have a backstage, so it can only be opened in Anseong, and now I am willing to do it for him, of course he wants to expand his business and open Qian Zhuang to Deqing. Besides, it didn't take much effort for them to move, they originally had granges and houses in Deqing and Ancheng, but they just sent someone to clean up and the whole family moved, which was easier than us. ”
Chen Wenhui was happy when she heard it: "Father, the Wang family opened the money village in Deqing, which is better, and in the future, where can my father do it without money in Deqing, this is not equivalent to taking office with the God of Wealth, how can there be a reason to do badly." ”
Chen Yuanheng said with a smile: "What Hui'er said is yes." Ha ha. There is also the Lan family, the Lan family's business is already bigger than the Wang family, and they are richer than the Wang family. After all, the most important specialties in Jiangnan are silk and tea, and the richest merchants are also tea merchants and cloth merchants. The Lan family originally had their store in Deqing, but now it is very easy to move their family to Deqing, because their home is in Ancheng, Deqing, and even claim that Qingyang City has a house and a grange, just clean it. It's just that the Lan family is the largest cloth merchant in Ancheng, but it is not the largest in Deqing City, and now with my support, he may become the largest cloth merchant in Deqing. ”
Bai Shi smiled and said, "That's a good feeling, I still want to find his house to buy silk." Not only for their own use, but also for gifts, as well as our Cuijin Building, a year is not old or young. ”
Chen Wenhui thought more about this time and said: "Does my father remember the quilt I made last year? ”
Chen Yuanheng wondered why his daughter was doing this at this time, but he still replied: "Of course I remember, thanks to that quilt last winter, it was much warmer." ”
Bai said: "Yes, we had a lot of seeds in cotton last year, and I asked Ziyu to plant them this year, and now I think I can harvest them." This year, everyone in our entire house can have a quilt cover, this thing is expensive to buy, it is really self-grown but it doesn't cost anything, so we will make quilts for everyone in the house, and make cotton jackets for everyone in the house. We also made a few more outfits, and made a few outfits for each of the Hu family. ”
Chen Wenhui smiled: "Mother, we can't wear it even if we can't finish it, we have planted so much." There are more than 300 acres. How much cotton you have to harvest? ”
Bai smiled: "Yes, it is to plant all the seeds, so that there will be more seeds when the autumn harvest is made, which is conducive to promotion in the coming year." ”
Chen Wenhui said: "Yes, it's a matter of promotion. In fact, cotton can not only be made into quilts and cotton jackets, but also can be spun and weaved, cotton cloth has many uses, warm, wear-resistant, and widely planted, the price will be cheaper than silk, but our people have one more kind of clothing to choose from. The hemp, kudzu are too rough, and they are not warm, where is the cotton good. ”
Chen Yuanheng was in his heart: "Is what Hui'er said true?" ”
Chen Wenhui said: "When we wait for our cotton to be harvested, you ask your mother to settle the account for you, and cotton will be cheaper than silk." Now he is a person who can weave cloth, and he can just teach the Lan family to do it. I think that in the future, cotton weaving will bring us more money, and it can also bring great achievements and honors to my father. ”
At this moment, Bai and Chen Yuanheng were moved. The husband and wife glanced at each other, and Chen Yuanheng said: "The autumn harvest will be soon, and when the autumn harvest comes, let's all go to the Zhuangzi to have a look." ”
Bai Shi hurriedly said yes. Chen Wenhui likes to go to Zhuangzi the most. Hearing this, he hurriedly said: "Okay, we got a lot of good seeds last year, and we should harvest them all this year, so let's take a look." ”
It's about to be on the shelves, ask for recommendation tickets, ask for collections.
