Chapter 135: Old Friends
This newcomer is Chen Wenlin, who has already arrived in the capital and settled down. He and Zhao Chongyi, Liu Yan knew each other when he was a child and were good friends. Chen Wenjun and Chen Wenlin became friends with Zhao Chongyi, and Zhao Chongyi and Liu Yan became friends, these four people used to be best friends, but later Liu Yan and Zhao Chongyi entered Taixue. The two brothers of the Chen family went to Jiangnan.
At this moment, old friends got together and were very happy, Chen Wenlin was originally an enthusiastic character, and soon became friends with Liu Jingyuan. Five young people gather around the fireplace for a drink. Of course, he drank the jade ice roast that Chen Wenlin brought his family.
Chen Wenlin said with a smile: "I didn't expect the fourth brother to become my cousin-in-law." ”
Liu Yan smiled slightly.
Zhao Chongyi said: "There are no outsiders here, so I'll just say it directly, in fact, this matter is very unexpected, no one thought that Aunt Ling Chen Guifei would actually take a fancy to the fourth child, and did not accept the fourth child as a righteous son, but let the fourth child become the son-in-law of your Chen family." ”
Liu Jingyuan said: "The noble concubine Niangniang's move is wonderful, how many people's glasses in the capital have been broken." ”
Chen Wenlin became triumphant when he heard this: "You don't know this, my eldest aunt was originally the smartest person in our family, but unfortunately the luck was not good, and the little prince who gave birth to was not kept, otherwise it is not certain who is the queen's seat today." Rao is so, and my eldest aunt is now a queen without the name of a queen. ”
Liu Yan nodded, in front of his brothers, he was not so cold and said: "Guifei Niangniang is a person with great wisdom, and she has deep connections in the palace and a deep business, you can't imagine it." I don't understand why my mother would take a fancy to me, this thing is always weird. ”
Liu Jingyuan and Zhao Chongyi both nodded. They had discussed this matter many times a long time ago, but they couldn't get the point.
Chen Wenlin laughed out loud and said, "No matter how much you want to break your head, you will never think that this idea is my sister suing my father, and my father told my aunt." Hahahaha. ”
"What?"
Liu Yan and Zhao Chongyi were both shocked. Liu Jingyuan didn't react much when he arrived, because he never knew Chen Wenhui. But Liu Yan and Zhao Chongyi are close friends of the Chen brothers, where would they not know the sister of the Chen brothers who are regarded as treasures.
Zhao Chongyi said: "Brother Lin, you didn't deceive people, right? How old is Sister Hui this year, what can a girl who is less than ten years old understand. I'm afraid you don't even have your hair back, do you?"
Chen Wenlin said with a proud face: "This can only be known to a few of our brothers, but don't spread it, my parents don't want outsiders to know about my sister's precocious wisdom." Let me tell you about my family's affairs in Jiangnan in the past few years, and you will know. ”
After speaking, in the past few years, their family has made a fortune in Jiangnan, built restaurants, garment shops, loans to the people, and built roads. Build a market. Build a trade fair. The matter of promoting new seeds and helping the victims was briefly explained, and the idea that Chen Wenhui came up with in the middle was also said.
I can only hear Liu Yan. Zhao Chongyi and Liu Jingyuan were dumbfounded. They never imagined that there were really such smart people in the world, but there were so many ideas that could change the fate of a family and the people in a place.
Zhao Chongyi waited for Chen Wenlin to finish speaking, and then said with a long voice: "I remember that your sister has not been weak and sick since she was born?" Even the imperial doctor in the capital said that she would not live to be six years old. ”
Chen Wenlin snorted and said, "What a bullshit quack, my sister is in good health now, and she rarely even has a headache and cold." That's right. When I was a child, I was frail and sick, which child is not like this, people like us, the child is taken care of too well after birth, so it is naturally a little sicker. It's good to grow up. Now my sister is less than ten years old, but she is very tall, taller than the average girl of the same age, she looks like an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, but she doesn't have hair, but she is already a little beauty, and when she grows up, she will definitely be captivating. ”
Zhao Chongyi laughed: "Everyone in the capital knows that you and Brother Jun are crazy about your sister, and when your sister was two years old, you two brothers boasted every day that your sister was a peerless beauty who was not born in the world." As a result, my fourth child and I ran to take a look, hey, it's just a milk doll, and she still has two tubes of snot, her hair is yellow, and her face is pale. Laughing, my fourth child and I had a stomachache. Now you're blowing again. ”
Chen Wenlin "exhaled" and swung Zhao Chongyi's face door with a punch, Zhao Chongyi was defenseless, he was beaten firmly, and his face was swollen all of a sudden. But Zhao Chongyi was not angry at all, but said excitedly: "Brother Lin, your kung fu has improved, let's practice." ”
Chen Wenlin was about to agree, but Liu Yan said: "Okay, don't make trouble, I said Brother Lin, so, my marriage is still because of a word from your sister who is far away in Jiangnan?" ”
Chen Wenlin said: "Actually, I can't say that, my sister just built yì my eldest aunt to pay attention to you and support you, but I didn't expect that my eldest aunt didn't recognize you as a righteous son, but recruited you to be my cousin-in-law, which is unexpected." ”
Liu Yan looked into the distance and said, "I really want to see your sister now, I haven't seen you for a few years, the eighteenth year of the female college has changed, maybe your sister can really surprise me." ”
Chen Wenlin was happy when he heard this and said: "The fourth brother is still smart, and he knows that he can't measure my sister by what she looked like when she was two years old, and my sister is beautiful and smart now." Then Zhao Chongyi and the three of them were bombarded by Chen Wenlin's tea time, which was nothing more than repeating how beautiful his sister was, how smart she was, and how she behaved. Anyway, it's unique in heaven and on earth.
Zhao Chongyi laughed when he heard it, Liu Jingyuan smiled and didn't speak, but Liu Yan's eyes were blurred, and he was really interested in Chen Wenhui, what a smart girl this is, she is not yet ten years old, and she thinks more than those treacherous and cunning ministers in the court.
The next day, a few of them went to Chen Wenlin's house next to Taixue to have a visit. Zhao Chongyi said: "You kid is really comfortable, you occupy this three-entry house alone, are you done living?" ”
Chen Wenlin said with a smile: "When I left home, my mother said to buy me a small house to live in by myself, and save people to be angry under the fence in the gate of the Chen Mansion, you know this." Unexpectedly, the people bought me such a big house all of a sudden, where can I live there? Why don't you let someone clean up a few yards and give you all a room here to make it easier for you to live, how about it? ”
Liu Yan smiled and didn't answer, Liu Jingyuan said: "If there are more Lin brothers, I won't need it, my home is in the capital, and my parents don't like me to stay overnight." I don't think the fourth child needs to be used, he has such a big county palace. ”
Chen Wenlin thinks about it. Only Zhao Chongyi was very excited: "They don't want it, I want it, in fact, I live in the county king's mansion for half a month in a month, but after a while, the fourth child is about to get married, after the princess of the county comes, it is not convenient for me to live, I am worried, now it's okay, I'll live here with Brother Lin, and I can learn from Brother Lin sooner or later." ”
Chen Wenlin was ecstatic, he was worried that he had no companion, this is good, among these friends, Zhao Chongyi is a warm and straightforward character, and Chen Wenlin wants to do it the most, and he is even happier to live together now.
After a few people played, they ate and drank again, and Zhao Chongyi moved to Chen Wenlin's house.
In the Chen Mansion in the capital, the eldest girl Chen Wenfeng is actively preparing her dowry. This time she got 10,000 taels of silver from her family, the third uncle gave 20,000 taels of silver, and the clan gave 100,000 taels. That's a huge amount, and it made her father covet it for a long time. Helplessly, Chen Wenfeng was very strict, spent the money very well, bought things, and helped her cousin Princess Lichuan, the second aunt, and the third aunt buy many shops in the capital, as well as the grange. These are all the things that Chen Wenfeng relied on after she got married in the future, and the energy continued to bring her money.
To Chen Wenfeng's surprise, the royal family gave the dowry and dowry money. According to the usual practice, these things given by the royal family are flashy, and Chen Wenfeng didn't expect these things to come in handy. But I didn't expect that these were all internal affairs that belonged to the palace, and now the internal affairs are under the control of Chen Guifei. After Chen Guifei asked the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites to bring the money for management, she did not hand it over to the internal affairs office in the palace to buy it, but used her own people to purchase it herself, and the things were all practical, such as high-quality furniture, jewelry, clothing, and also gave it to two imperial villages. This made Chen Wenfeng very happy.
The dowry is so smooth that Chen Wenfeng is in a good mood and full of hope for his future life. She had no idea what awaited her in the future.
In the second room of the Chen family, the second lady Li's face was very ugly, and when she heard her confidant Ruixue report to her what the palace had given as Chen Wenfeng's dowry, the handkerchief in Li's hand was crumpled into a ball. Li Shi had a gloomy face and said, "Okay, I know everything." This time the big girl's dowry is very beautiful? The fourth prince is good now, he was originally a poor bastard, and he was really lucky to bump into a golden phoenix all of a sudden. It's just that I'm not angry, my daughter is not as good as Wen Feng, I want to marry Wen Feng to the fourth prince, you must know that Wen Feng is one year older than the fourth prince, but my Wen Jin is just right, two years younger than the fourth prince, isn't this just right? I really don't know what the concubine thinks, I'd rather want the granddaughter of the Wang family than the granddaughter of my Li family. ”
Rui Xue hurriedly said: "Second lady, don't be angry, if you want me to say, what's good about marrying the fourth prince, looking at the scenery now, but what about in the future?" The fourth prince is a person without a concubine, this is a wanderer without a foundation, and the emperor doesn't like him very much, he will definitely have nothing to do with the throne in the future, I think it's not as good as the third prince. The three princes are the most favored by the emperor, the mother of the three princes, Wan Niangniang, used to be a concubine, although she has now been demoted to Zhaoyi, but the emperor still loves the three princes very much. Now that the third prince has not married, it is a good opportunity, why don't you think about the second lady and marry a royal family, maybe our Chen family can still have a queen. ”
Li's heart moved, he didn't make a sound, and lowered his head in thought.
ps:
Moved, I got up early in the morning and saw the two pink tickets given by li1394268487, as well as the lovely rewards, I was really happy.
