Returning to the main room from her daughter, Mrs. Han stepped back from the left and right, and talked to Zhao Chongli, she said: "Our daughter is so obedient and sensible, when I think of her going to that place and facing so many difficulties, I really can't bear it." ”

Zhao Chongli is not so sentimental, he said: "The child can have such a good future, we should support her, this is a big opportunity, others want to ask for it." By the way, aren't the general concubines all the daughters of the family? For example, the previous Queen Wang, the later Queen Mother, and the current Queen Chen. Although our Zhao family has a good family background, it is still not comparable to the family. ”

Mrs. Han looked at her husband with a complicated expression and said, "Zhenzhen, as our daughter, is just Xungui's concubine, and she really can't reach that position. Back then, our sister just wanted Xiao to enter the palace as a palace concubine, and Yuwen finally became a concubine, also relying on her father's credit. ”

Zhao Chongli nodded, his expression full of doubts.

Mrs. Han sighed and said, "However, Zhenzhen is not only our daughter, she is also surnamed Zhao, her uncle is the Duke of Northwest, and her aunt is the county lord of Wenhui. In the future, the Northwest Duke and the Lord of Wenhui will inevitably establish a new Zhao family, the Zhao family. The clan land is a few cities in the South Seas. ”

Zhao Chongli suddenly understood. In fact, the world has long admitted that there are no longer the four major families in the family, because there are two more families recently, these two families are the Xiao Chen family and the Zhao family. This Zhao family is not the loyal and righteous Zhao family, but the Zhao family of Zhao Chongyi and Wen Hui.

If you want to become a family, you must have a territory. The four great families all have their own clan lands. Recently, the territory of these two families is no smaller than that of the four great families. For example, Xiao Chen's family. The territory is the largest, Yizhou Island, Waguo, Nanyang four cities.

Zhao Chongyi, Chen Wenhui's Zhao family also has four cities in Nanyang. Although these four cities may sound like a lot less, they cover a large area, Mindanao, Luzon, the Spice Islands, and Sumatra. It's all in her sphere of influence. If this is true. I'm afraid that the clan land of the four major families is not as vast as hers.

Not to mention the big ones, these cities are very prosperous, especially Qingchun City, which is already recognized. You can catch up with the existence of Suzhou City. That is, it is not as good as Shanghai City.

When it comes to money. That's like mountains and seas, is there anyone in the world who is richer than Lord Wenhui? Well, there may be. That is, the maiden family of the county lord of Wen Hui, and the Xiao Chen family is also so rich.

In addition, there is an army, and the county lord of Wenhui has a Nanyang guard. That escort army is now led by his father, Lao Zhongyigong, and has been built into a powerful army that is not inferior to the Northwest Army.

After all, Zhao Chongli is the most familiar with the construction of the army. There are two points that are most important, the first is to have good generals. Needless to say, his father is definitely the best in the world in this aspect. The second is to have money. Because the army is the most money-burning. The treatment of soldiers, armor, weapons, in this regard, the Zhao family of the county lord of Wenhui has two advantages, the first is that the county lord of Wenhui is really rich. The second is that the lord of Wenhui County has the minerals of Nanyang and the superb forging technology of the Hei family, so in terms of equipment, the escort army of Nanyang has surpassed the strongest Northwest Army of Great Chu.

If this is not a family, or is it a family?

In fact, in addition to these two new families, the courtiers are still saying that there is a third family that is about to be born. It is the Xu family of Princess Lichuan. Her family has already established Siam City in Nanyang. However, because it is the first city, when she also builds more cities in the future, it will also be a family.

Mrs. Han said: "Empress Chen is the daughter of the Chen family, so naturally the daughter of the Chen family can no longer be the princess and concubine." The remaining Wang family, the Li family, has declined, and Queen Chen eliminated these two. The rest, Xiao Chen's family, is also her family. In fact, the eldest daughter of Chen Wenjun of the Xiao Chen family, Shanling Girl, is very suitable, and the queen also likes it. However, the blood relationship is too close, and it will definitely not work. In this way, the Zhao family and the Xu family are left. The Xu family had great hopes. After all, the relationship between the queen mother and Princess Lichuan as cousins was the best. However, the eldest daughter of the Xu family is already a princess. It was sealed when the emperor was the first emperor, so naturally she couldn't be a royal daughter-in-law. ”

"In this way, we are left with the Zhao family. If the second brother gave birth to a daughter, perhaps, the queen mother is willing to wait a few more years. However, the second brother gave birth to a son, so our daughter is naturally the best choice. Of course, the Bai family is also very suitable, and they are not so close to each other, and they are also the daughters of the family, but the grievances between the queen mother and Bai Guifei are known to the entire Da Chu. She definitely doesn't like the Bai family daughter to be her daughter-in-law. From this point of view, among the families, only our new Zhao family is the most suitable. ”

Zhao Chongli nodded and said, "No wonder Old Madam Bai is willing to teach Zhenzhen in person." Wouldn't Zhenzhen represent the interests of the Zhao family and the Xiao Chen family in the future, and the Chen family? ”

Mrs. Han nodded.

Zhao Chongli frowned.

Mrs. Han said: "The more backers behind you, the stronger the better." No matter how many backers she has, Zhenzhen is always our daughter. ”

Saying this, Zhao Chongli was relieved again.

Mrs. Han said: "In addition to letting Old Madam Bai train Zhenzhen, there are many things we have to prepare. ”

Zhao Chongli hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Mrs. Han said: "It's not enough to increase your own power, you also need to have manpower to help." There must be people who can serve Zhenzhen, who can embroider female celebrities, take care of children, understand medicinal properties, know how to eat, know how to manage the industry, know how to manage people, know how to make friends, and know how to find out the news. Therefore, several of Zhenzhen's maids also had to follow Zhenzhen to Xiao Chen's house. The Xiao Chen family also has to train them. That's not enough. I also want to choose a few more clever people to send to Xiao Chen's house for training together. You must know that the maids of the Xiao Chen family are notoriously capable, you see that the second brother and sister were several big girls back then, and now they are all city lords and deputy city lords in Nanyang, and they are all big people who stand alone. ”

"In addition to these attendants, we also have to train a few stewards to manage the property for Zhenzhen in the future. If you want to sit in that position, you can't do it without money. The queen is the daughter of the Chen family? Back then, it was also ten miles of red makeup, and the marriage was a hundred thousand taels of silver and Zhuangzi, shops, and things. However, you see, in order to make money a few years ago, she was affected by the affairs of the Li family, and she almost couldn't keep her position. In the past few years, it has stopped, because she got the silver of the princess Wang Xian in the palace, and I heard that there are more than two million taels of silver. It can be seen that even the queen can't lack silver, not to mention that we are not going to be queens, now we are just a princess, this road is still long, and there are many places where money is needed. ”

Zhao Chongli hurriedly said: "This is true, the dowry we originally prepared for each concubine was 20,000 taels of silver. However, now the situation is different, do we want to add some to Zhenzhen? I think we'll prepare a hundred thousand taels of silver. In addition, the properties we have purchased in private, haven't our parents taken care of them very well in recent years? Let's sell some and give Zhenzhen enough for a dowry of 200,000 taels of silver, what do you think? ”

Mrs. Han was very happy, she originally thought that her husband would prepare these for her daughter, and sure enough, her husband did not disappoint her.

Zhao Chongli said: "The dowry of 200,000 taels of silver is already ten miles of red makeup, but it is far from enough. I went to write a letter to my father, who still had a lot of things in his hands, and besides, in the past few years, he had fought in the South Seas, but he had made a lot of money. I believe that my father will also give a share. When Chongyi got married, his father did not use the money from the public school to give Chongyi, and the things he gave in private were almost 100,000 taels of silver. If our Zhenzhen had such a good future, my father would definitely be happy. I estimate that he will have to give at least 100,000 taels of silver. ”

Mrs. Han was even happier. But he also asked with some hesitation: "What happened to Yuman back then made my father very sad, he didn't approve of Yuman, Yuwen and their entry into the palace." What if he doesn't approve of Zhenzhen's affairs either? “

Zhao Chongli said: "You don't understand this, Yuman, Yuwen entered the palace as a concubine, that's a nice saying, in fact, it's really not a concubine for the emperor." Our Zhao family's concubine goes to be a concubine, can my father be happy? But Zhenzhen is different, this is the concubine of the eldest prince, can my father object? Naturally, I must be willing. This is a glorious lintel, if Zhenzhen becomes the queen in the future, our Zhao family will be the descendants. How honorable. I'm going to write to my father. ”

Zhao Chongli was about to go outside, but Mrs. Han grabbed Zhao Chongli again and said, "There is another important thing, I haven't told my husband yet, didn't Mrs. Bai talk to me alone just now?" Actually, I was given a gift list. ”

Zhao Chongli asked strangely: "Why did you give us a gift list?" We begged her, should we give her something for the old man? ”

Mrs. Han smiled bitterly and said, "This gift list was not given to us by Old Madam Bai. It's just that Old Madam Bai handed it over to us. This gift list was given to us by the second brother and the county lord of Wen Hui. Look at it, these are all things from the capital county lord's mansion. ”

Zhao Chongli opened it and looked at it, and was dumbfounded, pearls and gems, silk, wool, wool, brocade, silk, cotton, tea, porcelain, wood, jade, antiques, calligraphy and painting, there are as many as three pages on the gift list alone.

Zhao Chongli was used to seeing the big scene and was a little worried, he said: "Brother and sister, this is also too much, right?" ”

Mrs. Han smiled bitterly and said, "This has shocked me a lot, and there are even more shocking ones. ”

After speaking, he took out a small purse and opened it, only a thin piece of paper, which was the silver ticket of Dachu Bank. This is something that everyone sees every day. But this silver ticket is indeed the most surprising silver ticket that Zhao Chongli has ever seen in his life.

Because the silver ticket clearly said the denomination, 500,000 taels of silver. (To be continued......)
