Chapter 2 Family

Through this period of understanding, Chen Wenhui learned that her father is the boss of a small county town, but this is not the most important thing, the family is not proud of it, they are more proud of their family. Chen Yuanheng is the concubine of the Chen family, a big family in the capital, ranking third, and his mother Bai is also a big family in the capital, of course, she is also a concubine. So the mother and father are all elegant. These are all from large families. For a while, Wen Hui also met the upper-class ladies of Ancheng, a small county town, with her mother, although they were gorgeously dressed and had outstanding appearances, they were vulgar compared to the Bai family, and the elegance of the Bai family was the most envied by the female dependents in Ancheng. Chen Wenhui remembered a sentence, what was said in the book in his previous life: three generations know food, and five generations know how to dress. Although she is proud of her family, listening to the Bai family, she and Chen Yuanheng do not have a high status in the family. thinks so, the concubine and the concubine are not welcomed. However, Bai is a very good person who can plan, and she will definitely be an excellent female CEO in the 21st century. After the Bai family got married, they gave birth to two sons and a daughter. Chen Yuanheng finally won the lift after a few times in the examination room. After the middle move, Chen Yuanheng was very self-aware, and he was not ready to take the Jinshi examination, but through the relationship of Guò's family, he came to Ancheng, a wealthy small county town located in the south of the Yangtze River, and became the magistrate. The magistrate is only an official of the seventh grade, and this little official did not cause waves in the Chen family and the Bai family. You must know that the Chen family and the Bai family are both big families, and there are many officials below the fifth rank in the clan. Chen Yuanheng's eldest brother and second brother are both descendants, the eldest brother Chen Yuanfeng worships the second grade, the second brother Chen Yuanluan worships the fourth grade, and although Chen Yuanheng's father Chen Zhaonan has become a minister, his protégés are all over the world. Chen Yuanheng's eldest sister Chen Yuanqing entered the palace early, and she was already a concubine. Such a family does not value Chen Yuanheng in Dangzhi County, and Chen Yuanfeng and Chen Yuanluan even feel that this younger brother is still well-behaved, knowing that staying away from the capital is not an eyesore. Chen Yuanheng's mother-in-law, the Li family, is the daughter of the Li family of the big family, with a noble status, married into the Chen family, and was lucky to have two sons in a row, with a stable status, and later gave birth to three daughters, so she let go and let the sixth aunt give birth to a concubine, which is Chen Yuanheng. Today, her two sons are in high positions, and her three daughters have married early, except for the eldest daughter who entered the palace as a concubine, the second daughter and the third daughter have joined the Xungui family. The eldest aunt who competed with her for favor in the early years, the second, third, fourth, and fifth aunts have all gone or died, and the sixth aunt, the only one who gave birth to a son, also died early, so the old feudal monarch of the Li family lived a very good life, and he didn't want the only concubine to be an eyesore by his side, so he deliberately pretended to be considerate, and instructed the Bai family to take office with her husband, saying, "I have your sister-in-law here, the second sister-in-law, you don't need to be filial, if you want to be filial, follow San'er to take office, take care of it, don't lose the face of our Chen family." Therefore, Bai was able to lead his children to take office with their husbands. Otherwise, according to the rules of the big family, the concubine leaves the family, and the concubine will often detain his children and wives in the name of filial piety in order to hold the concubine hostage.

Bai Shi left the depressing capital and came to Anseong, although there is no prosperity in Beijing, but as the wife of the county magistrate, she is the head of the group, which is very comfortable. The only regret is that the youngest daughter has been sick since birth because the fetus was unstable. Now, my daughter is getting better, and her life is naturally extremely comfortable. The Bai family brought six maids out of the capital, because the sons and daughters were young, but they only left two purple jade and green frost by their side, and gave the eldest son a blue pattern, the second son a blue water, and the youngest daughter and her health were not good, so they gave two. These six girls are all from Chen's mansion, and their abilities and rules are excellent. Feiguang and Yin Hong served Chen Wenhui very well, Rao is so, Bai still feels that his daughter has been wronged, because in the mansion in Beijing, the lady is four big maids, six second-class, the old lady is eight big maids, twelve second-class, two big maids around the girls, four second-class, and there are wet nurses, rough mothers-in-law and so on. Although Chen Wenhui was also born in a well-off family in her previous life, how could there be such a caring servant in that society where everyone is equal, for this reason, Chen Wenhui sighed very much. The ancients were so extravagant, and one person needed so many people to serve them, no wonder they felt that they were always surrounded when they looked at them. At the same time, I sighed that the novels of those talented and beautiful women are all deceitful, looking at this situation, there are a bunch of people waiting in the toilet, where is the opportunity to date the talented man alone, elopement.

Tong Guò understands that Chen Wenhui knows that in this county magistrate's mansion in Ancheng, the housekeeper's name is Chen Cai, who was originally Chen Yuanheng's servant, and the housekeeper in the inner house is Chen Cai's wife, who was originally Bai's dowry maid. Chen Wenhui couldn't help but sigh again at the old lady Bai's methods. The old lady of the Chen family is still alive, so there is no separation, Chen Yuanheng naturally has no property, fortunately, the Bai family was okay to marry back then, before coming to Ancheng, he had already quietly sold a qiē and brought the money to Ancheng, and then bought 200 acres of fertile land and two mountains and forests in the suburbs of Ancheng. A year's income is enough for the house. It's just that if Daddy Chen Yuanheng wants to be promoted, he has to spend money in Beijing, which is not possible. This is the only regret of Bai and Chen Yuanheng at present. When the two of them talked together, they mentioned it many times, and they could only shake their heads and sigh. Because Chen Wenhui was still young, neither of them avoided her. Chen Wenhui secretly made up her mind that with her thousands of years of wisdom and knowledge, she must help her parents achieve their wishes and return to the capital one day.

Chen Wenhui found that her family was not surprised that she was literate. It turns out that even if it is a girl in a large family, the enlightenment is very early, and she has to start reciting at the age of three and so on. Originally, Chen Wenhui also wanted to surprise her family that she was a prodigy. Now the hope is dashed. However, there is also the advantage that you can borrow books to read openly. Chen Yuanheng has a study room, which has a lot of books. Chen Wenhui was bored during her illness, so Bai often read to her. Occasionally, she reads books on her own. Therefore, there are a lot of books in Chen Wenhui's room. The inner house of this county government is actually not small. Because this is a wealthy county, after several constructions, the county government is a big house in Sanjin. In front is his father's office, his mother Bai lives in the middle house, and Chen Wenhui and his two older brothers live in the backyard. Because his brother is not an adult, he and Wen Hui both live in the backyard. The eldest brother lives in the main house, and Wen Hui and the second brother live in two compartments. Wen Hui's residence has a bedroom, a hall, an ear room, and a maid's back room. This made Wen Hui, who came out of the place where people were squeezed to death in the 21st century, very satisfied. Most of the furniture in Chen Wenhui's bedroom was left by her predecessor, although the texture is good, and it is also mahogany, but it has long been old. After the Chen family moved here, they had already rushed to whitewash the furniture in the house, so it looked okay. Compared with furniture, Chen Wenhui's bedroom supplies, such as quilts, bed sheets, tents, and window screens, are luxurious, showing the characteristics of wealthy families, either yarn or satin, and they are all embroidered with flowers and plants, and the embroidery is outstanding. For example, the tent is topped with blue yarn, and Feiguang sues her, this is called smoke shadow yarn, which is really like a burst of green smoke, but there are many insects on the yarn tent, butterflies with wings, praying mantises, crickets, textile niang, and many other insects that Wen Hui can't name, all of which are lifelike, and they are all embroidered. The breeze blew, the green yarn was like a puff of green smoke, and in the smoke, those butterflies and insects kept floating, as if they were real. The pillow is made of aqua green satin, with a smooth center, and only pink peach blossoms are embroidered on the four sides, which is elegant and romantic. Wen Hui slept in this tent as if she were a princess. Because Wen Hui is a girl, she doesn't have a separate study, but just a desk under the south window of the bedroom. On the desk, there is a pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and a large brush wash of blue and white porcelain. There is a large flower bag with a one-person high white porcelain plum pattern on the ground next to the desk, and there are no flower arrangements, but many painting scrolls are inserted in a staggered manner. Come to think of it, Wen Hui is young and reads more paintings than books. On the other side is a mahogany drum bench with a pot of orchids on it, but it is not in bloom now, but the tender green leaves are also beautiful. Wen Hui began to like the world, she had read all the books in her room, and borrowed a lot of books from her father and brothers' rooms. I finally figured out that this world was originally the same as my own world development, but the history of the Qin Dynasty suddenly changed, the Qin Dynasty was no longer the second, but lasted for more than 800 years, and the second Qin was not Huhai, but Fusu. This Fusu is different from the Fusu described in Chen Wenhui's books in her previous life. This Fusu changed the script, which is the simplified Chinese character used now, and established the imperial examination system. In Chen Wenhui's previous life, the imperial examination should have started in the Sui and Tang dynasties, nearly a thousand years in advance. Chen Wenhui's current dynasty is the Great Chu Dynasty. The royal family surname is Liu. But the founding emperor was not Liu Bang, nor was he the imperial power established by the princes after the peasant uprising, because he married his daughter to the emperor and then his father-in-law seized power. Therefore, the imperial power was supported by all the courtiers. Since then, the new dynasty has paid great attention to the family. The family also began to rise on the cliff. Seeing this, Chen Wenhui laughed, history is really a joke, the surname Liu founded the Chu Dynasty. also responded, the proverb of destroying Qin Bichu. However, this Fusu is very suspicious, if it is not too long from this world, many of them are no longer examinable, Chen Wenhui must study it carefully. It is very likely that this Fusu is a fellow villager who came from the wear. Because there are too many traces, for example, simplified characters, glass windows, these things with an obvious modern atmosphere, everywhere show the suspicion of Fusu. Chen Wenhui didn't believe in crossing in her previous life, and now she is a living example. Naturally, I believed it. Since Fusu, a fellow countryman, can change history, it is always possible for Chen Wenhui to use the knowledge of his previous life to change his life. Thinking of this, Chen Wenhui was already a little eager to try.
