Chapter 216: Good Things Are Coming
Bai asked Chen Yuanheng: "Master, when you say that, are you talking to the Wan family?" ”
Chen Yuanheng smiled and said, "Yes, I asked Lan Shanghan to talk to Wan Chengyuan about this matter. Wan Chengyuan and Wan Meizhen's father, as soon as their grandfather said it, they agreed. Also, my son is so good, which girl is not crying and shouting to get married? ”
Bai laughed "poof": "The master is not afraid of people's jokes, has he praised his son so much?" ”
Chen Yuanheng said: "Why is it praised? My son is really good. You see that Jun'er is so good, and now he is praised in the clan land. And Lin'er, who can be on his own at such a young age, isn't it good? Also, my daughter is the smartest girl in the Great Chu Dynasty. ”
Liu Jingyuan also smiled and said, "Yes, third uncle, Sister Wen Hui is really the smartest girl in the Great Chu Dynasty." ”
Liu Yan looked at them and laughed, but couldn't help but think in his heart, why Ah Yuan's father loved Ah Yuan so much, and why Chen Yuanheng loved his son so much, is it all because he is a sister-in-law? Since his father disliked his mother's low status at the beginning, why did he give birth to him with his mother?
Here Chen Wenhui and Chen Yuanheng arrived at Wanfu but did not find Wan Meizhen, or Wan Meizhen's eldest maid Chunzhi got the letter and immediately rushed out, wanting to take the Chen brothers and sisters to the workshop to find Meizhen. Chen Wenhui agreed, and went to the workshop in a carriage with Chunzhi.
On the way, Wen Hui asked Chunzhi: "Are you Sister Meizhen's eldest girl?" ”
Chunzhi's long round face and almond eyes are very pleasing: "Yes, girl, our girl has four big girls, in addition to me, there are Chunguang, Chunhong, and Chunshui." ”
Wen Hui smiled and said to her brother: "You look at the name of the maid, and you know that Sister Meizhen is enthusiastic when you hear it." A person whose heart is full of sunshine. ”
When Wen Jun heard his sister say this, his heart moved, and his mind naturally flashed with Meizhen's glamorous appearance. I thought to myself, that Meizhen girl is indeed a special girl. I like such a serious and capable girl very much. This thought made Wen Jun himself startled.
At this time, Wen Hui asked again: "What do you girls do on weekdays?" ”
When Haruka heard this, she smiled and said, "Our girl may have done it." Since the age of ten, I have helped the old lady, and the lady takes care of the housekeeping. Since the age of twelve, he has been in charge of the family's land and shop rent. When I was fourteen years old, the old lady admired my girl's abilities and put her in charge of the management of a silver building. As a result, when the bill is settled at the end of the year. My girl's silver building is the most profitable, and now those who oppose it in the clan have become silent. So, the old lady put the girl in charge of the three silver buildings, and often participated in the affairs of the head office. None of this is too difficult for my girl. My girl, I also invested in building a glass workshop, and even the old lady said that the small jewelry produced was good, and I specially asked people to set up a cabinet in the silver building to sell these glass jewelry. ”
Chen Wenjun was very happy to hear it, such a capable girl. There are not many in the entire Great Chu Dynasty. While listening, Wen Hui secretly looked at her brother's face, and when she saw her brother laughing, she put her heart down and said, "Oh, aren't you girls very rich?" This glass workshop must have brought a lot of silver to your girl. ”
Haruka said happily, "My girl is capable." Therefore, there is a lot of money to be earned. However, my girl doesn't spend much, and a lot of the money she gets is spent on supporting the education of those people who are living in poverty. ”
Wen Hui listened and was curious: "Why?" ”
Harue said, "This slave doesn't know very well. However, once I heard my girl say that it is not enough for our family to be rich, but also to have officials. ”
At this time, Zi Wenhui felt that this Meizhen was better, so she said to her brother: "Brother, you see Sister Meizhen, she is not only capable, smart, does a good job, makes a lot of money, but also has a lot of foresight." This is something that girls don't have, at least in the south of the Yangtze River, I've seen one like this. ”
Wen Jun smiled and said, "There is one more, and my sister." ”
Before Wen Hui could speak, Chunzhi said, "Yes, I heard my girl say, she admires you very much." Say that you are the smartest girl in the Great Chu Dynasty. ”
Wen Hui laughed.
Anyway, the workshop has arrived. Wen Hui got out of the carriage, Chunzhi hurriedly went to report the news, and Wen Hui and her brother visited together. In fact, they have already been to this place last time, and this time, they found that there has been a big change, and it is becoming more and more like a complete workshop, and it seems that Wan Meizhen's work efficiency is still very fast.
Looking at it, Wan Meizhen came with a spring branch and another maid, she was wearing a water-red gown, a green skirt, and an indescribable handsomeness in this early winter weather.
Wen Jun was stunned for a while.
Wen Hui was very happy to greet her and said, "Sister, your speed is really fast, the workshop was built so quickly." ”
Meizhen first greeted them and then invited them to the study. This is where Mi Jin works.
After sitting down, Meizhen said, "I'm all ready here, just waiting for your recipe, have you brought it?" ”
Wen Hui smiled and took out a stack of paper from her arms and said, "Sister is really a neat person, this is the recipe for making zuò mirrors." This is a recipe for making high-quality glass. According to this recipe, you can make crystal clear glass. ”
Meizhen was a little puzzled and said: "Glass has been made for hundreds of years, but it still can't be made into crystal clear glass, most of them are green, gray, yellow glass, and there are very few of Bai's, even if the price is very high when it is made occasionally." Is it really possible to make glass that is crystal clearer than white and as transparent as water? If we can really make it, then we can really sell sky-high glass products. That's a big market. It's also very profitable. ”
Wen Hui said confidently: "It will definitely work, you can follow this recipe and let the craftsman go to the real thing." I'm still waiting for the dividends. By the way, I went to Suzhou City this time to take care of my family's shop, and left a shop as a store for Baojingfang to sell products in Suzhou City. However, Qingyang City also needs to have a storefront. Does my sister have a good introduction? ”
Meizhen immediately said: "I have thought of this a long time ago, and I have a few places here for you to choose." ”
After speaking, he asked the maid to take out a piece of paper, and then discussed it with Wen Hui and Wen Jun.
After discussing it, Wen Hui asked Meizhen to take out the account book, looked at the cost of starting the workshop, and finally calculated it. Wen Hui should have paid six thousand taels of silver. Wen Hui said, go back and ask the maid to send it.
At this time, Wen Hui was already late when she saw the sky. He asked the eldest brother to invite the two of them to dinner. Of course, Wen Jun has no opinion. Mi-jin had already had dinner with them once, and this time it wasn't postponed. The three of them went to Qinghe Tower for a good meal. During the banquet, Wen Jun talked and laughed, Wen Hui made jokes, and Meizhen enjoyed it very much.
When the two siblings returned home and found that only their parents were in their mother's room, Wen Jun asked, "Have they all gone back to rest?" Why is it so early? ”
Wen Hui received her mother's eyes at this time and hurriedly said, "I'm also tired when I say this, I want to go back to my room to rest." ”
When Moon Jun was about to say goodbye. Bai said: "Jun'er, you stay, I have something to say to you." ”
Wen Jun had no choice but to stay.
Bai Shi looked at Chen Yuanheng. Chen Yuanheng coughed and said, "Well, Jun'er." You're seventeen years old now, and you'll be eighteen next year. I was married to your mother when I was your age. Do you have someone in mind? ”
As soon as Chen Wenjun heard the word "person", he didn't know what was wrong, and Wan Meizhen's face appeared in his mind. But he said, "No." ”
Bai was a little disappointed. Chen Yuanheng said: "Since this is the case, your mother and I have taken a good look at a girl for you." Very good girl, Wan Meizhen of the Wan family, you also know. ”
Chen Wenjun immediately smiled when he heard this, but he didn't expect his parents to say what was on his mind. Bai Shi saw his son's smile, and his heart settled.
Chen Yuanheng also said happily: "I have already talked to the head of the Wan family. That is, Meizhen's grandfather said that he would choose an auspicious day to marry. You still have to go to Huating County, and your family must also prepare, and her family must also prepare a dowry, so that you can get married next year? ”
Chen Wenjun's face turned red.
Chen Yuanheng said: "You dare to kill the enemy on the battlefield, but you are shy about marrying a daughter-in-law." ”
Bai Shi hurriedly asked: "How to kill the enemy?" When did Juna go to war? Did you go to the battlefield in the clan land? ”
Chen Yuanheng saw that he had missed something, and hurriedly changed the topic and said, "You are married, and your mother and I plan to give you 100,000 taels of silver." For the sake of fairness, I will give your sister and brother a hundred thousand taels as well. In the same way, how much money will be spent when they get married, you will also be given how much money. ”
Chen Wenjun hurriedly said: "I don't need this, where can I use so much money." ”
Chen Yuanheng was very pleased, and said to the Bai family: "Madam, you see that in other people's homes, in order to compete for money, they can even make trouble, and our family, children are all vying to push out. ”
Bai Shi also laughed, his son and girlfriend love, what could be happier than this.
Wen Hui returned to the room and knew that her parents should have told her eldest brother about the marriage at this time. I don't know if the eldest brother agrees, but looking at the way the eldest brother looks at Meizhen, he should agree. This is great, there will soon be many sisters-in-law in the family, and they are still the sisters-in-law they like. That's great.
Thinking of Wan Meizhen, Wen Hui couldn't help but think of her own money again. Poor Wen Hui had just gotten a silver ticket of 10,000 taels from her mother, and in the blink of an eye, she spent 6,000 taels, not counting the clothes, weapons, armor, and monthly money for settling those guards in the past few days, which added up to more than 7,000 taels. Not only did these ten thousand taels go in, but they were not enough. Fortunately, Wen Hui has saved some money in the past few years, such as monthly money, which has always been more than half left, and during festivals, birthdays, etc., her father and mother will give big red envelopes, from the initial one hundred taels to the later one thousand taels, Chen Wenhui has saved seven or eight thousand taels of silver in the past few years. But all of a sudden, they all went out. Now that Wen Hui calculates, she probably has about 4,000 taels of silver left. However, this glass workshop has just been established, and the place where it will cost money is still to come, and the guards don't have to buy weapons next month, but the monthly money and winter clothes will be issued. It's going to be a real headache.
