Chapter 40: The Proposed Troops

Liu Yan said to Wen Hui: "You come to see your eldest sister, and also see your friend Aunt Wang, right?" She misses you very much, and Keihara's wife has been visiting her less during this time. It may be because I came to the capital and the rules in all aspects are bigger. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Yes, I am managed by my mother at home every day, learning this, learning that, I am annoyed to death." ”

Liu Yan asked with great interest: "Oh, you are such a smart person, what else can't you learn?" ”

Wen Hui said: "It's not just that I can't learn, it's that I don't hope to learn at all, it's how to embroider, how to tailor, how to cook, and there are a lot of rules, hey, the head is big." ”

Liu Yan looked at Wen Hui's beautiful little face seriously and said, "Where is the big head?" I think it's become pretty. ”

Wen Hui's eyes widened and said, "Are you joking?" The four princes of the cold-faced people can actually tell jokes. ”

Liu Yan couldn't help laughing: "Am I a cold-faced person?" ”

Chen Wenhui pouted and said, "Actually, after the Lantern Festival, in addition to visiting my eldest sister, I also have to report to you, and I don't know if I can find time to visit Yaozhen." ”

Liu Yan smiled: "What else do you have to report?" The steward of thy house brings to me every quarter the financial statements which thou hast made. My accounts have praised you for doing a good job in this report, and now the accounts in my house have also learned your methods of making accounts from your accounts, and now the accounts of the palace are made with the methods you taught. ”

Chen Wenhui was a little curious and said, "Where did you learn the account office in your house?" ”

Liu Yan said: "I just told you that the surname of the bookkeeper in my house is Yuan, and you must know." ”

Chen Wenhui suddenly realized: "I see, the surname of the account office is Yuan, it must be the Yuan family, and naturally it is a relative of the general account office in my house, which is understood." ”

Liu Yan continued: "There is no need to report the account, now Shanghai City, Xinguang City, every six months there are dividends distributed to my house, I entrust Jingyuan and the princess to be in charge." Now I'm probably the richest of all the princes. This is a blessing for you. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Don't dare, it should be that I entrusted the blessing of the prince and got a share of the profits to save the dowry for the future." ”

Liu Yan listened to the words of dowry. I couldn't help but ask: "It turns out that my sister already has a crush, I don't know who is so blessed?" ”

Chen Wenhui burst out laughing: "Lord Wang, I'm only ten years old, where did I come from?" My lifelong wish is to sleep until I wake up naturally, count the money until my hands cramp. Now there are many things, but there is a lot of money. In addition to this wish, there is also a wish to walk through the mountains and rivers of Dachu and enjoy the picturesque and beautiful natural beauty of the rivers and mountains. Now I just went to Jiangnan, Yizhou Island. I haven't been to Saiwai, I haven't been to Lingnan, I haven't been to the northwest and northeast, how can I be willing to marry so early? ”

When he said this, Liu Yan said in his heart: "Hmm." If one day I can call the shots, I will definitely let you fulfill these two wishes. ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Then I will thank the prince first." ”

Liu Yan said: "Although I don't need you to report the account, I still want you to inform me when you go to my house, Jing Yuan and I haven't seen you for a long time, and now I think about the scene of going to disaster relief back then, especially vividly, at that time." I, you, Jingyuan, Mingzhu, and Chongyi are running around together, and it's really hard to think about it. This has been going on for years. I became a prince, Jingyuan became a couple, Chongyi went to the battlefield, and you went to Yizhou Island. Now you are back in the capital, although Chongyi has not returned. But the four of us should get together, I don't know if you will appreciate your face and let me be a host? ”

Wen Hui was about to refuse, but when she saw the pleading look on Liu Yan's peerless face, she was extremely sincere, and she also thought about the scene of rushing together to help the disaster back then, so she couldn't help but nod.

Liu Yan was overjoyed, and when he was about to say something, he suddenly heard the music loud, Liu Yan was startled, and looked back: "Oh, it turns out that it's time to dance, we are going to be seated, and my father is going to congratulate him as usual." ”

Wen Hui hurriedly returned to her parents.

This night was spent safely, but after this night, the Chen Mansion was not safe, originally, the Chen Mansion rose, and it was very lively in front of the door, and there were endless exchanges, but the vast majority of them were looking for Chen Zhaonan, Chen Yuanfeng and Chen Yuanheng, and few were looking for a second room. Now these people are actually looking for Chen Yuanluan. Chen Yuanluan was inexplicable, and after receiving a few people, he realized that he was here for his two concubines.

On the Lantern Festival, the two Wenhua sisters shined, and the next day, those who wanted to take the Chen family's big boat came to the door with gifts.

Chen Yuanluan was suddenly immersed in happiness, a little at a loss, and hurriedly ran to his wife's room, the second lady had already learned about this from the maid and mother-in-law, and was depressed. She had already been mentally prepared, Chen Wenhui dressed up the two concubines so well, she would definitely attract the people who proposed marriage, so she just sold the two concubines for a good price. Who knows, this suitor is here, but there are too many people, think about it, before her daughter got married, there were many fewer people who proposed marriage. For this reason, she felt that she couldn't save face, and that Aunt Sun might be hiding somewhere to laugh at herself.

At this time, Chen Yuanluan entered the house, and as soon as he came in, he said, "Madam, do you know? I received four families this morning, all of whom came to marry our family Wenhua and Wenjuan. You see, these gifts are all given by these people. ”

The second lady looked at the big boxes of gifts, and then looked at the post in Chen Yuanluan's hand, although she was depressed, she still put on a smile and said, "Master, this is a great thing, we must choose it for them." ”

Chen Yuanluan was very satisfied when he heard it, this wife is knowledgeable, sensible, and capable, although she did not give birth to a son, but she worked hard for this family and the second room, which really satisfied him.

Chen Yuanluan said: "Madam, you see, this is the second son of Dong Hanlin's family from the Hanlin Academy. This is the king of Jingjiang asking for his concubine to marry. King Jingjiang is a clan relative, although he is only the prince of the county now, and he is at home, but after all, he is a clan. There is also this one that General Fuyuan's family asks for his concubine, and this one is Ruyi Hou who asks for his concubine. ”

The second lady looked at it, nodded and said, "These families are fine, but although King Jingjiang is rich, he has no real power and can't help us." And he is asking for a marriage for his concubine, who has heard that he is not welcomed in the house, what can he help us in the future? General Fuyuan has military power in his hands and has been stationed in the south for a long time, and his wife is taking care of his family at home, I heard that his sister-in-law is very promising, this concubine is not famous, don't be pushed out by his mother-in-law to help his son-in-law, right? So they still want us to help, how can they help us in turn? There is also this wishful waiting, I heard that he participated in the rebellion of the former prince, really, there is not enough evidence yet, for a while, the emperor has not convicted him, such a person, we are too late to get rid of it, where can we marry him. ”

Chen Yuanluan groaned: "What Mrs. said is reasonable, such an analysis does make sense." We'll have to think about it. ”

The second lady nodded and said: "The rest of this Dong Hanlin family, hey, their family is sincere, it is to ask for the second son to marry, and the identity is also noble, it is a Hanlin, and in the future, it may be possible to build momentum in Shilin, so that the master can be reactivated as an official." I'll keep this one for now and see if there's anything better. ”

Chen Yuanluan Yixi said: "What Mrs. said is very reasonable, let's save this and see if there is anything better." ”

As he was talking, he heard a relative announcing outside: "Second master, the slave here has some posts to present to the master, and they are all inviting the master to dinner." ”

Chen Yuanluan was happy in his heart, and hurriedly asked the maid to go outside the door to bring it in, and when he saw the post, he said to the second lady: "Madam, these families have invited me to drink and talk about their children's family affairs." I had to take a trip and compare those people to the better. ”

The second lady nodded, and hurriedly asked the maid to wait for the change of clothes, and asked the relatives to go with him to prepare the carriage, and the second master was going to the banquet.

The lively scene of the second room also reached Dafang's ears, at this moment, Chen Yuanfeng and Chen Wenqi were talking, hearing the news, Chen Yuanfeng said to Chen Wenqi: "Qi'er, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Chen Wenqi said: "With the temperament of the second uncle and the second aunt, I will definitely choose the two families that can best help the second room for the two younger sisters." In this way, the power of the second room has risen sharply. ”

Chen Yuanfeng nodded and said: "Yes, because my father is incompetent, and the power in the mansion is down, it should have been the big house in charge of the affairs of the mansion, but it was pointed out by your grandmother to your second aunt to be in charge." This matter is also related to your mother, who is indeed far worse than your second aunt in handling housework. ”

This is the truth, but Chen Wenqi, as a son of man, how can he say bad things about his mother, so he can only be silent.

Chen Yuanfeng continued: "However, it is different now, now that your sister has become a princess, it may go further in the future, our family's power has risen greatly, and you have married a good daughter-in-law." I think your daughter-in-law is not only stronger than your mother in terms of housekeepers, but also stronger than your second aunt. We have a great opportunity. It's a pity that the two concubines in your second uncle's family are also so beautiful, if you find two good helpers for him, it will be really difficult to do. ”

Chen Wenqi said: "If you talk about the housekeeping skills of the female dependents, the third aunt in the third room is the strongest." ”

Chen Yuanfeng smiled and said, "Qi'er, you are still young, how could your grandmother hand over the rights of the housekeeper to the daughter-in-law of the concubine." Besides, your third aunt doesn't look down on this mess? You forget, we still have her money in our house. Your third uncle's family is a wealthy family. Moreover, they are always ready to move out, they have already left the Chen family and become the Xiao Chen family. ”

Wen Qi was stunned.
