Chapter Eighty-Six: Confidant
As soon as she asked this, Mei Ying's cheeks, which had just recovered to a normal complexion, turned red again.
Mei Ying asked, "What are you asking for?" ”
Chen Wenlin said: "Don't hide it from the girl, two years ago, I fell in love with the girl. The girl is a person who is not afraid of the powerful, considerate, and intelligent. I'm afraid that you will marry me because you were forced by your family. Don't worry, as long as the girl says it, even if it is a royal marriage, I have a way to help the girl regain her freedom. ”
Speaking of the future, Chen Wenlin's voice already carried a trace of pain.
When Mei Ying heard Chen Wenlin's confession, her heart was suddenly sweet, and she knew that her guess was right. It turned out that he liked himself. It's just that after hearing it, I can't help but scold him in my heart ≈≤wan≈≤shu≈≤ba, a○nshub⊕a., what a fool, doesn't he like him, does he have to endure the pain of cutting his love? However, from this point of view, Chen Wenlin really loves her. In order to make her happy, in order to let her live according to her own wishes, he did not hesitate to suffer herself.
Mei Ying was secretly glad in her heart, sure enough, she didn't have anyone to trust, her vision was still good, and the person she liked was really a good man who stood up to the sky and was kind-hearted.
Mei Ying took a sip and said, "What are you thinking about?" I think you know a little bit about my temper. If I don't want to, I wasn't afraid of Concubine Wan's nephew at the beginning, but am I afraid of the queen's nephew now? ”
Chen Wenlin didn't understand it at first, but after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly understood that the beauty had already had herself in her heart. Thank goodness for that. Chen Wenlin only felt as sweet as drinking honey water, and the sky suddenly turned blue. The wild flowers in the pavilion suddenly became gorgeous, it turned out that life was so beautiful, it turned out that he was so lucky, Chen Wenlin was so happy and just wanted to scream.
Mei Ying looked at Chen Wenlin for a long time and didn't speak, a little strange, quietly raised her head to look, only to see Chen Wenlin's face in ecstasy, and couldn't help laughing and said: "You fool, what else to say, I still have something." This is the time to go. ”
Chen Wenlin heard that the beautiful woman was leaving. Hurriedly took out a small purse from his arms and said, "I asked my sister to make this purse for me." The contents are made by my own hands. I made a total of two. One for my sister and one for here. However, this one is better than the one for my sister. Actually, it's not worth anything, but it's just a piece of my heart. ”
Mei Ying didn't want to take it. But. She wasn't alone in hearing it. It's the same as Miss Chen. And. This purse is still made by Miss Chen, and if she doesn't follow, I'm afraid that Chen Wenhui's face will be ruined, so I have to go next.
Mei Ying said: "If there is nothing to do. I have to go. ”
After speaking, he walked down in three steps and two steps, and floated away with the painting. Chen Wenlin stood in the small pavilion, looking at the back of the beautiful woman in the distance, and couldn't help but be stunned and happy.
This qiē has been secretly watched by Mei Jizu and others hiding in a small room near the small garden. Although he promised to let the two of them meet. However, after all, this is unreasonable, and they are all worried about it, for fear of what will happen to these two people.
Now I just gave one thing and said two words. Of course, the distance was too far away, and the words of the two people, they did not hear. But they are all from the past, just look at the expressions of the two people, you can know that they must have a good relationship.
After seeing Mei Ying leave again, Chen Wenlin looked at Mei Ying's back stupidly, and the Mei family was even happier. even felt that Mei Ying was really suitable for marrying into the Chen family. Mrs. Chen loves Mei Ying very much, and Chen Wenlin is also deeply in love with Mei Ying. It is foreseeable that in the future, the husband and wife will be very harmonious. They followed to Luzon and had something to rely on. The clever Zhuo was even thinking about what to bring to Nanyang. When he arrived in Nanyang, looking at this, Chen Wenlin, the city lord, should have given his husband an official position. Then you can't be idle in the inner house with your children, so you have to do something anyway. I heard that the land in Nanyang is very cheap, and the climate is very good, and it can be harvested twice a year, or even three times. That kind of grain is much better than growing grain in Qingzhou. It seems that we should bring more money, buy more land, and bring more domestic slaves who are good at managing the crops to help manage the farms. In addition to these, you should also see if you can get a business to do in Nanyang, no business is not rich, if you want to make money, you still have to rely on business. This good management house slave also has to bring a few with him. Zhuo's family is already thinking about his family background in his heart.
Mei Jizu and the three of them were also very happy. It seems that his brothers will definitely be able to get important when they go to Nanyang. Thinking that he has been studying for so many years, he has always been stuck in Xiucai and lifting people, and he has gone to Beijing to take the exam several times, but he can't get into the Jinshi, and the road to becoming an official in this imperial examination is so difficult. However, if you follow Chen Wenlin to Luzon, you should be able to get an official position as soon as you go, even if it is a Jiupin official, it is a good start. Thinking of this, the hearts of the three people were on fire.
Mei Ying stayed in the small mansion for a while and then went back, returned to her small courtyard, and sat at the desk, Mei Ying still felt that her face was red and her steps were weak. Half a ring, only to ease up, I couldn't help but take out the small purse and look at it, only to see that it was a small water-green purse, on the shining silk face, embroidered with a lovely pattern, not an ordinary plum orchid chrysanthemum, but a lovely animal that has never been seen. Although I don't know what this animal is, it looks cute, just because the pattern is very special, the key is that the embroidery is also very exquisite, making the pattern look very three-dimensional, and you want to jump out.
Mei Ying liked it immediately. I can't help but take a closer look. This look is even more surprising. This small purse is really exquisitely embroidered, using the method of light and dark embroidery, which is very durable. Mei Ying originally thought that she was good at embroidering among the officials. Of course, it can't be compared with those top embroiderers. However, compared to the average lady, it is really a lot stronger. However, Mei Ying felt that compared with Chen Wenhui, who embroidered purses, it was really 108,000 miles behind.
Mei Ying couldn't help but feel worried. This sister-in-law is the richest sister-in-law in Da Chu. What is the most terrible thing about a girl's family getting married, not a husband, but a mother-in-law. The most terrible thing besides the mother-in-law is the sister-in-law. Now, she is not worried about her mother-in-law, Mei Ying has more contact with Mrs. Chen Bai than Chen Wenlin. Mrs. Chen treated Mei Ying really well. Everyone in the capital knows this.
However, this future sister-in-law, Mei Ying had only seen her from a distance before. At that time, she was an inconspicuous ordinary lady, Chen Wenhui was a noble daughter among noblewomen, not only noble, but also powerful, although she was just a child, she was the county lord of the emperor. Not to mention, he is in charge of the family's business inside, and he is in charge of the four cities of Luzon Island in the South Seas outside. I heard that the emperor said that she was the richest girl in Dachu.
When Mei Ying saw Chen Wenhui at the beginning, Chen Wenhui was with Princess Lichuan, the lord of Shuyuan County, the top lady of Dachu, she didn't even look at it, Mei Ying was already a little psychologically weak, and now she looks at the purse made by Chen Wenhui, such a good needle and thread, it is really discouraged, such a capable sister-in-law, how to please it in the future.
Thinking of this, Mei Ying recalled what Chen Wenlin said. He seemed to say that the gift he gave was made by him personally, and he only made two copies, one for himself and one for Chen Wenhui. It can be seen that Chen Wenlin loves his sister very much.
In the past, she seemed to have heard that Chen Wenhui had a very high status in the Xiao Chen family. In addition to her parents who love her very much, her two older brothers are even more fond of her. I also heard that although the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family was born in a businessman, she was very favored by her mother-in-law, and an important reason was that Chen Wenhui and her sister-in-law were handkerchiefs in the boudoir.
Thinking of this, Mei Ying couldn't help but think, since Chen Wenhui has a good relationship with her sister-in-law, she doesn't know if she won't like herself. Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly saw a beautiful red gold head on the dressing table. The gem above sparkled a little. Mei Ying immediately thought of it, this seemed to be something that Mrs. Chen gave her at the beginning, and Chen Wenhui added makeup to her. Those things are all good things made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, with a red gold base and inlaid with treasures. There is nothing to say about styling and craftsmanship. The most rare thing is that if Chen Wenhui sends something, he should generally send gems or jewelry produced in Nanyang. Now the capital is very popular in the Nanyang Qingchun City jewelry, gemstones. Isn't Qingchun City Chen Wenhui's city? Since you want to give your own things, it is the most cost-effective to give your own products. However, the things sent by Chen Wenhui are very much head and face jewelry, and there are many small gold pieces that will be used to reward people in the future, all of which are produced by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. For what, because Chen Wenhui wanted Mei Ying to put these things in the dowry to save face for Mei Ying.
If it is produced by Nanyang, people will know that it was purchased by the Chen family at a glance, what face does the Mei family have? But the Ministry of Internal Affairs made it, and that is the face of the Mei family. Mei Ying thought of this, and couldn't help but feel that Chen Wenhui is a warm-hearted, kind-hearted, and thoughtful girl, and she should be able to get along well in the future.
After thinking about it so much, Mei Ying remembered that she hadn't opened her purse yet, so she couldn't help but open her purse, and there was a necklace inside. The necklace is decorated with a lot of shells, all kinds, very exquisite, Mei Ying can't help but be attracted. After looking at it carefully, I found that this shell necklace is very rough or simple in terms of workmanship, polishing, and shape. Mei Ying suddenly remembered that Chen Wenlin said that this necklace was made by him.
It's no wonder that such a coarse handiwork turned out to be from Chen Wenlin's hands. Mei Ying couldn't help but feel very sweet, only that all the gold, silver and jewelry that she had come into contact with in preparation for the dowry during this period of time were not as precious as her necklace.
