Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 255
Chen Wenyi frowned slightly, and said to Guo Luo Luo Mingyuan: "I'll let the servant take you out through the corner gate."

In front of Chen Wenxin, Guo Luo and Luo Mingyuan didn't dare to say too much.

She nodded slightly, and left with the servant.

After she left, Chen Wenxin looked at the displeased Chen Wenyi, and stuck out her tongue.

"Well, I admit I heard everything."

Even if she didn't say anything, Chen Wenyi would probably be able to guess it, so he might as well confess obediently.

"I knew it when you just walked out the window, but I just didn't want to expose you."

Chen Wenyi walked back to the house as if nothing had happened.

Chen Wenxin followed behind him, wondering: "Then you still let me be bumped into, why can't you give me a hint to avoid it?"

"What's wrong with bumping into each other, if you bump into her once, she will be more restrained."

What Chen Wenyi said was not because he thought Guo Luo Luo Mingyuan was annoying, but more because he didn't want a girl's reputation to be ruined by him.

"However," he thought for a while and then said, "Anyway, she is going to get married, so I won't bother her again."

He lifted the teapot, uncovered a teacup with one hand, and placed it in front of Chen Wenxin.

The clear fragrance of tea overflowed from the mouth of the pot, Chen Wenxin sat down on her own, and looked at him playfully.

"It is said that the second brother became famous as a young man, a generation of famous generals, but there are times when he is so stupid?"

Chen Wenyi put down the teapot and glanced at her, "How do you say that?"

"Do you think she really wants to marry when she says she wants to marry? It's just a violent method."

Chen Wenxin is a girl, and she understands girls' thoughts best.

"She sees you as Liu Xiahui, not moving at all. She has no choice but to let go of such cruel words, hoping that you will be swayed. Who knows that you really have no affection for her, alas."

However, one thing Chen Wenyi said was true, Guo Luo and Luo Mingyuan presumably would not pester Chen Wenyi again for a long time.

No matter how brave and daring a woman is, facing such a direct and decisive rejection, it is difficult to recover in a short time.

Chen Wenyi thought about it carefully, "That's the truth, but I was confused for a while. According to the Guo Luoluo family's style of handling things, how could they marry their daughter when the family is at its lowest? At this time, you can't marry a powerful family."

Chen Wenxin looked at him, and the two looked at each other with sighs in their eyes.

Guo Luo Luo Mingyuan's nature is not bad, born in such a family, she doesn't know what will happen in the future.

"By the way, second brother."

She changed the subject, "Now it's convenient for me to live in Changchun Garden. In the past, the wives and ladies of various families always liked to send posts to our house and Yikun Palace. Why don't you take advantage of this time and let me host the banquet."

The female family members of those officials' families took the initiative to get close to the Chen family, just for Chen Wenyi.

Regardless of whether the post is in the name of the wife or the post in the name of the old lady, it is all for the ladies in the final analysis.

If Chen Wenxin wants to have an elegant banquet, the ladies from various families must participate.

Those Yingyingyanyans are noisy, hasn't Chen Wenxin seen enough in the palace?

I have to hold such a banquet by myself to find guilt.

"Since when have you been interested in these ladies in Beijing? If it's for my marriage, I advise you not to."

Chen Wenyi thought of this sensitively, he had already been overwhelmed by Zheng's urging marriage at home.

If Chen Wenxin had the same thoughts as Zheng Shi, he would really be overwhelmed.

"You are beautiful."

Chen Wenxin said angrily, "I don't care about your marriage, I am a noble lady, can I still be your matchmaker?"

"I have recently learned how to shoot a gun with some success, and I want to show them."

Chen Wenxin raised his eyebrows, as if looking forward to it.

"Cough cough..."

Chen Wenyi choked on a sip of tea, turned his back and coughed uncontrollably.

Bai Lu hurriedly stepped forward to pat him on the back, so that he could calm down.

Chen Wen felt a little ashamed, and the emperor often drank tea and listened to her, and then burst out laughing.

It seems that she should be more careful when she speaks in the future. It is better not to talk nonsense when others are drinking tea.

But she felt that what she just said was not wrong, how could Chen Wenyi laugh like this?
Chen Wenyi slowed down, turned around and said, "If you said to show it to the soldiers of the Green Battalion, even if you showed it to the soldiers of the Eight Banners, I would not be so surprised."

What is it to show spear skills to a noble lady in the capital?
Looking at the slight redness on Chen Wenyi's fair face, he presumably coughed from choking just now.

She said: "Those noble ladies in the capital are all here for second brother. Second brother is short of military expenses and lacks guns..."

Chen Wenyi is a smart person, and she knows everything, so she doesn't need to go any further.

What she meant was to gather these noble ladies of the capital into one place and let them see Chen Wenxin's spear skills.

This will lead to rumors that the shotgun team is short of guns, and find ways to raise military expenses from these noble ladies in the capital...

They may not have anything else, but they must have money.

It's like the concubines in the harem competing to donate money, hoping to get the favor of the emperor.

It's also like the ministers of the DPRK and China wearing plain clothes and donating their salaries, hoping to show their diligence and thrift for the people.

For the sake of Chen Wenyi, these aristocratic ladies in the capital are also willing to spend their small coffers.

What's more, this matter is not for his own selfishness, but for the construction of the army, which is a major event that benefits the country and the people.

I think there will be a good response.

Chen Wenyi clicked his tongue twice, but did not speak.

"Why, second brother, do you think this idea is bad?"

She thinks it's very good, since it makes those noble girls in the capital happy that they can get close to him, it can also solve his current lack of funds in the army.

The emperor will also be happy that the shotgun team can train normally without spending money from the treasury.

If it's the best of both worlds, she can't figure out what's wrong.

Chen Wenyi sighed: "It's not bad, I'm just feeling emotional. I was still in Horqin before, and I heard that you donated the birthday money allocated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to military expenses."

"I was thinking at that time, when did Miss Jiao of our family become so sensible?"

Chen Wenxin is not a wasteful person, but when it comes to which palace spends the most money in the palace, it is undoubtedly the Yikun Palace.

Aside from other things, Yikun Palace enjoyed the status of concubine when Chen Wenxin was still a concubine.

When she was promoted to the concubine position, the emperor simply gave her the title of noble concubine.

Yikun Palace will always be the first to pay tribute to the silk clothing materials from the south of the Yangtze River.There are countless fresh melons and fruits.

She also likes delicate food, whenever she thinks of something new, the small kitchen can always get the precious ingredients from the Imperial Dining Room to make it.

People in the palace have always been generous in rewards, and the servants in their own palace are even better fed and well-clothed, and they are more decent than the masters with lower ranks...

Not to mention that the Yikun Palace is gorgeously decorated and exquisite everywhere, and how much money was spent.

Although she didn't intend to be extravagant and wasteful, it was a fact that she spent a lot.

Fortunately, the emperor's rewards are many, which is enough for her to be so pampered.

Unexpectedly, she would think of donating her birthday money to military expenditures, which opened a precedent for the harem.

Such an unintentional act of kindness shows a sincere heart.

Chen Wenxin said proudly: "No way, I've always been sensible, it's just that my second brother didn't notice."

She didn't lack a grand birthday banquet to show her appearance. When she was 15 years old, the fiery red kite was the best birthday in her heart.

Putting those money into the army, although her strength alone is small, she can drive the entire front court and harem with the emperor's promotion.

It makes more sense than anything.

If this war continues, I am afraid that there will still be more places that need money.

Chen Wenyi said: "Then it's up to you, but you should tell the emperor about this matter."

"Don't worry, I think there is no disagreement with the emperor through my mouth."

He looked at Chen Wenxin's complacent look, and couldn't help laughing, "You and the emperor are what the common people say, they are landlords. The concubines have been picked up by you, and the courtiers have been picked up again. Now even these young ladies are not spared." .”

When Chen Wenyi said this, she also found it funny.

"What kind of landlord, if this is put in the folk, the emperor and I are also gods... male and female heroes."

She originally wanted to say The Legend of Condor Heroes.

"This is robbing the rich and helping the poor, not seeking the riches of the people. Those adults all have a lot of money, and donating it is for the country and the people."

Chen Wenyi was thoughtful, "If you want to say that the richest officials are definitely not those in the capital. After three years of clearing the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes silver. Especially in the affluent areas in the south of the Yangtze River, the local officials there are called rich."

Chen Wenxin recalled what he saw all the way during his southern tour, nodded and said: "The local officials have high positions and powers. It is not unusual to go to the capital. In the local area, they are the emperors. Do you still remember when you were in Suqian?"

The emperor stayed in Suqian for a few days because of river regulation.

Unexpectedly, in a small Suqian, there are many private houses of local officials.

Jin Fu was already considered a clean and honest official, and his private house was where the emperor and Chen Wenxin lived for a few days.

Although the place is not big, it is very chic and bright.

This is not bad among the places where they stayed during their southern tour.

But those Governors of Liangjiang and his ilk still disliked Jin Fu Jianbo for neglecting the emperor.

The emperor walked along the embankment to Taoyuan County, and when he stayed in Taoyuan County at night, the house was obviously several times better than Jin Fu's.

That is the private residence of Governor Liangjiang.

A private house that dares to be exposed to the emperor is so luxurious, those things that dare not be exposed to the emperor, don't know how amazing it is?
It's a pity that the emperor took the lead in simple clothes, followed by officials from Beijing, and those who donated money were also officials from Beijing.

Those local officials who are extremely rich have not moved.

Chen Wenxin put these words in his heart, let's think about the banquet first.

These are all benefactors, but they are all interested in Chen Wenyi, and it is not easy to get together.

What if we get together and start a fight?
Where there are many women, there are many right and wrong, she has to think about it.
