Although Hu and Mingzhu moved away, because the two mansions were too close, they still dealt with affairs together in the morning every day, and Hu took the two girls to study in the afternoon. The days were quiet.

That afternoon, Hu Shi was a little uncomfortable, so he didn't give them a lesson, Mingzhu was busy taking care of her mother, and Wen Hui accompanied her mother to talk in the upper room. Bai said: "I just saw that your Aunt Hu is a little cold, and I guess it will be good to take two medicines." If you're fine, go and see more. Help. ”

Chen Wenhui hurriedly agreed.

At this time, Chen Yuanheng came back from outside, but he was not wearing an official uniform, just a homely royal blue Fushou pattern robe. When Bai Shi saw it, he hurriedly stood up and asked, "Why did the master come back at this time?" ”

Chen Yuanheng said to the maids in the house: "You guys stand down, I have something to say to my wife." ”

The maids all retreated, and Chen Wenhui was about to leave, but Chen Yuanheng said: "Hui'er will stay, and help my father take a look." Chen Wenhui was a little curious, so she sat and waited honestly.

Chen Yuanheng sat down and said to the Bai family: "Madam, I got a piece of news that it is said that the prefect has done evil to Shangfeng and may be transferred. ”

Bai Shi hurriedly said: "Really? Chen Yuanheng said: "It should be true. ”

Chen Wenhui was curious: "How did my father know?" “

Chen Yuanheng said: "Does Hui'er remember that we also opened a restaurant and a ready-to-wear shop in Deqing City? “

Chen Wenhui said: "I know, I read that my mother's account said that the restaurant has been built and opened, and the business is very good. “

Chen Yuanheng smiled when he heard it: "That's right, it's thanks to your good idea." You said earlier that the reputation of our Qinghe Building has gone out, and many people from Deqing City have come to Ancheng to eat. So this time you don't need to find a good location to open a restaurant in Deqing City, it's generally OK, so you can save some money. However, the price of Deqing City is very expensive, we are looking for a place that deviates from the downtown area, firstly, the place is bigger, and secondly, the money is cheaper than the downtown one. Rao is so, and it cost 178,000. However, this restaurant is larger than our Anseong, and there are eight water pavilions. So, if you can sell more every day, you can make more money. It's not long after it opened, but it's full every day. “

Chen Wenhui was surprised: "What does this have to do with my father's news?" “

Chen Yuanheng smiled: "Look at me, I didn't make it clear." Do you know why I handled affairs so well during my year in Anseong? Because I have a lot of information, and this news comes from our Qinghe Building. "Oh," Chen Wenhui understood. Indeed, the restaurant teahouse was originally the place with the most news, it seems that my father is really smart, not only making money by opening a restaurant, but also knowing how to use the restaurant to collect news. It seems that my father has a plan. No wonder you have to borrow money to quickly open a restaurant in Deqing City, just to put your eyes and ears in.

Chen Yuanheng looked at Chen Wenhui's clear expression and said with relief: "It seems that Hui'er has understood, she is really smart." In fact, in addition to the restaurant can find out the news, there are also ready-to-wear shops. Our seamstresses shuttled around the homes of our ladies and naturally got the inside scoop. After I learned the news from the restaurant, I specially asked Feiguang to inquire when I went to customize clothes for the female dependents, and now it is confirmed that it is true news. “

Bai said: "It's just that our term of office hasn't expired yet, if he goes quickly, won't we be able to catch up with this position?" “

Only then did Chen Wenhui know her parents' abacus. Come to think of it, the family business is booming now, but this is covered by a county magistrate. If my father could go further, the family's business would be better.

Chen Yuanheng said: "But don't worry about this, it's just the beginning of the New Year, and most of the official positions are transferred every time after the New Year, and this prefect can stay for a while, after all, a person who is transferred from the peak also has to apply to the Ministry of Officials, and when the approval comes down, how can he get the New Year." During this time, we got the news first, should we strike first? “

Bai Shi listened and hurriedly said: "What the master said is very true, does the master want to ask the one in the palace to help?" “

When Chen Wenhui heard this, she immediately thought of her eldest aunt Concubine De, who had only given a gift to Concubine De a few years ago, and heard her father say that Concubine De was very happy. ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Exactly, I thought that this time I wouldn't tell my parents in the house, and I wouldn't tell my eldest brother about them, and I would go directly to Princess Guò Lichuan to find Concubine De Niangniang, so it would be better to be quiet and not alarming." ”

When Bai heard this, he said, "That's good, do we want to prepare some gifts." ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Last time, the eldest sister and Princess Lichuan both liked those satins, I think I can choose fresh colors and send them again." It's just that these are still a little less, and something should be added. ”

Bai said: "And you can only add some jewelry." It's just that the eldest sister is in the palace, and the jewelry used is all internal, where can the people make it. ”

When Chen Wenhui heard this, she had an idea and said: "Father, I have a good relationship with Wan Qiaozhen of Wanjia Yinlou, she said that there are many skilled craftsmen in their shop, and my father can find some precious gems and the like, I will draw some patterns, and I will ensure that others have not seen them, and I will take them to Wanjia Yinlou to do." It should be able to impress the eldest aunt. ”

Chen Yuanheng was suspicious. I thought that my daughter always had a wonderful idea, so I just tried it, anyway, there is still time now. I agreed.

At this time, Chen Wenhui said again: "Father, how can you be sure that your aunt can help you get this position?" Isn't the eldest aunt in **, can't she participate in politics? ”

Chen Yuanheng immediately explained to his daughter: "This Hui'er doesn't understand, although all dynasties and dynasties are not allowed to interfere in politics, but all dynasties and dynasties are all **." For example, now the emperor has been on the throne for more than ten years. For the first ten years, the Li family, the mother family of the Queen Mother, was in power. It's your grandmother's family, and it's the founding nobles. Now that the queen is in power, the queen's mother's family is the Wang family, which is your aunt's maiden family, and she is also the founding noble. The queen has a son and has been the crown prince for many years, but now she is not happy by the emperor. On the contrary, it is the three princes of the Guifei Wan clan who are the most favored. Wan Guifei is said to be the most beautiful concubine in the palace, the most favored by the emperor, and her status is higher than that of the concubines, which is close to the queen, and the three princes born are virtuous, so now many ministers in the court have taken refuge in the Wanjia. Now the struggle between the Wan family and the Wang family is very strong. ”

Chen Wenhui understood, this is Gong Dou. In my previous life, I watched too much TV in this area, which is really not unusual.

Chen Yuanheng said again: "Although the Wan family has the support of the noble concubine, it rose too late, and it can't compare to a century-old family like the Wang family. Although the Wang family is a big family and the most noble queen in the **, it is not favored by the emperor, so now the two families are evenly matched. Behind your aunt is our Chen family, and the Chen family is also a century-old family, and its power is not small. Your eldest aunt is the third concubine in the palace. The best thing is that your eldest aunt doesn't have a prince and doesn't participate in the fight for a seat, so those two families are desperately trying to win her over. She is also smart, and now she has a neutral attitude, and neither family dares to offend. Last time, she sent me a secret letter, asking me to be an official well, she had already greeted the officials, and because my loan plan was very successful, she specially told me before the emperor, so now if the position of the prefect is vacant, your eldest aunt is willing to help, it must be mine. ”

Chen Wenhui understood now: "Father, I know what my aunt means, she is also unwilling to wait for her, and wants her father to accumulate strength and help her in the court in the future." ”

As soon as this sentence was said, Chen Yuanheng and Bai were taken aback. The husband and wife glanced at each other, and Chen Yuanheng said: "I also guess so, but my current official position is too small." How can you help the eldest sister? ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Although I don't know about the affairs of the imperial court, I can guess a few points of the emperor's thoughts. First, the emperor is now in the prime of life, but the prince is already an adult, and the prince is from the royal family, which must make the emperor unhappy. ”

Chen Yuanheng was surprised: "Why is this unhappy, the emperor's mother's family is also a big family." ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Father just said that the emperor's mother's family is the Li family, and the Li family has been prosperous for ten years, which means that the emperor has been subject to the Li family for ten years before he ascended the throne. ”

At this moment, Chen Yuanheng was even more surprised: "You know Hui'er, no, you weren't born at that time." ”

Chen Wenhui smiled: "I'm just speculating that no emperor likes the dictatorship of his relatives, but his mother's family is not a small family, it is the Li family, and he can't move lightly, so he is naturally annoying." No one likes to see their uncles pointing fingers at the court. He must have struck a blow after a few years of forbearance. ”

Chen Yuanheng thought for a moment and said: "It's true, Hui'er seems to have seen it with her own eyes, at the beginning, the Li family had three phases, one prime minister in the court, four deputy ministers, and the Li family accounted for three, the emperor was indeed unhappy, and then they all found a reason to let them become officials." In order to fight against the Li family, he also deliberately supported the queen mother's family, the Wang family, who were also big families. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "That's it, the emperor helped the Wang family to fight and defeated the Li family, now the Wang family is useless, but it will hinder him, and he will naturally have to help a new family to deal with the Wang family." It's just that this time his position has been stabilized, and he doesn't need the help of the big family, so he directly supports a small family, which is this ten thousand families. Wanjia has no background, all Qiē are from the emperor, so it is best to control zhì, the emperor must be biased towards Wanjia in everything, suppressing the Wang family. ”

Chen Yuanheng closed his mouth in surprise: "Yes, that's true, to give you an analysis, I also understand, I used to think that the emperor was because of the reason for favoring the concubine, and many imperial histories also wrote that the emperor loved sex, so it turned out to be like this." ”

Chen Wenhui said again: "If an emperor wants to be a stable position, of course there can be no threat, in the past, the Li family threatened him, he fought down the Li family, and now the Wang family is a big threat, especially the prince is an adult again, this threat is bigger than the Li family back then, he must be even more intolerable." Therefore, he has to help up the ten thousand families and the three princes, and the prince is estimated to be unable to do it. ”
