Wen Family Has a Wife

"Mother! Is this really our home?" Wen Yuanzhen muttered, her eyes dull.

Wen Yuanjing clutched his heart and swallowed hard, "Is there enough room to live in?"

Her words expressed Wen Yuanzhen's heart, and Wen Yuanzhen sighed: "Don't talk about it, just cleaning is enough!"

Mrs. Ding said respectfully, "Don't worry, miss, the servants can clean up immediately with the red yarn and Hongling. Where do you think you need to clean first?"

Wen Yuanzhen came back to her senses and looked at Chen Ningya, "Mother, where do we live?"

Wen Yuanliang came over from behind and said unhurriedly: "Dad and the others lived in the left and right wing of the main courtyard before. I just checked and the ash inside is almost a foot thick. I guess Daddy won't live here this year. I don't even know where they live here."

When Chen Ningya thought of the two villages in Fucheng, she probably knew that she didn't want Wen Yuanliang to keep entangled with this issue, so she said, "Let's live in the courtyard closest to the main courtyard next to the second courtyard, you sisters can also choose one for yourself. Clean up the yard you like, and it will be your room in the future."

The two looked at each other, jumped up in surprise, and looked at Wen Yuanliang, "Brother, where do you live?"

Wen Yuanhao looked at the two younger sisters with a smile, and said truthfully, "I used to live in Mr. Ji's place. First, it's convenient to study, and there are no idle people in Mr. Ji's place. It's clean, and secondly, this house is too big. It's not very comfortable to live here, and now Dad and the others don't live here, you can choose which yard you want."

In the end, both sisters chose the second courtyard, Chen Ningya lived in the east wing of the main courtyard, and Wen Yuanliang lived in the second courtyard like the two younger sisters.

The two girls were very excited to have their own small courtyard. They even rolled up their sleeves to help with the cleaning, and Chen Ningya didn't care.

It took most of the group of people a long time to clean up the room they were staying in. Madam Ding looked at the sky and hurried to cook. After traveling for several days, everyone was exhausted. After eating and washing, they lay down.

The next day, Wen Yuanliang went to Mr. Ji's place early, and Chen Ningya brought her two daughters to let the coachman set up the carriage to go to Zhuangzi in the suburbs.

Zhuangzi's steward was promoted from the county seat, and his name was Changgui.

Let him be this steward because this person is kind, prudent, tight-lipped, flexible, and can take care of Zhuangzi. Of course, the most important point is loyalty. Their family's sales contracts are all in the Wen family, so Changgui and his wife He came to Fucheng to take care of Zhuangzi, and his children all stayed in the county town and the country.

When the carriage entered Zhuangzi, Changgui hurried over. When he saw that it was the master's carriage, he was shocked. The master had just set off with the motorcade for a while, and it was impossible for him to come back. Could it be the eldest young master?

After thinking about it, Chen Ningya got off the carriage, stood still, and looked at Changgui, "Long time no see, Changgui!"

"Madam!" Chang Gui was so shocked that his jaw was about to fall, and he couldn't turn his head for a while, and he actually knelt down with a plop.

Immediately after getting off the carriage, the two sisters Wen Yuanzhen exclaimed, "Hey! Aren't you the servant of our family? Could it be that my father is here?"

Wen Yuanzhen's eyes lit up, looked around, and found that this place was similar to the countryside over there, with mountains, farmland, and many farmhouses. The most conspicuous one was probably that house, which was the architectural style of the Fucheng side.

Chang Gui hurriedly said, "I have seen the eldest and the second, the master has already set off with the caravan, he is not here."

"Then what is this place? Didn't you follow my father's caravan?" Wen Yuanjing asked suspiciously.

Changgui didn't know about it, and replied honestly: "This is the Zhuangzi bought by the master. This year, the master came to Fucheng and lived here."

Wen Yuanzhen was shocked, "Mother! We still have Zhuangzi in Fucheng? All of this?"

Chen Ningya glanced at it and said hesitantly, "It should be, okay, don't kneel, get up and answer."

Only then did Chang Gui get up, patted the soil on his body, and explained, "Miss,

This Zhuangzi has a total of 200 acres, all of which you have seen are from Zhuangzi,”

Wen Yuanzhen and Wen Yuanjing had lost the strength to be amazed. They were more frightened. They didn't understand when their father and mother did these beatings. Even their eldest brother didn't know about it, so the sisters began to supplement their brains.

However, Chen Ningya asked, "Why didn't the master come here this time to live in a house in the city, but live here, knowing that it is inconvenient to live here for delivery."

Changgui looked at the two young ladies, and said in a dignified whisper, "It's because something happened to the prefect at the end of the year. It is said that it was corruption and bribery. A number of imperial envoys came along, and they slapped the prefect's Wusha hat on the spot, and the whole family was escorted to Beijing for investigation.

Corruption and bribery are naturally impossible to catch only one family, pull out the radish and bring out the mud, and many officials and wealthy businessmen in the city have been affected. I heard that a total of more than a dozen companies have been copied. This is still a big fish. , at least half of the rich will suffer.

At the time of the New Year, everyone was afraid to go out. It was not until Niangen gradually recovered. After the Spring Festival, ordinary people had to go out and set up stalls to make a living. After they found out that everything was fine, those shops also opened one after another. gradually recovered.

It's just that some of the merchants that we cooperated with still had an accident. The master brought more goods, so we had to find another cooperative merchant. Fortunately, everything went smoothly. The caravan stayed in Fucheng for more than ten days and then left. , I guess I will come back here in the summer. "

Chen Ningya nodded slightly and lowered her voice, "It's a big matter, I'm afraid it won't pass so quickly, but ordinary people won't be affected. It's enough to sell all the goods, but it's better to keep a low profile, it seems that this Zhuangzi bought at the right time."

There was a Zhuangzi in the outskirts, and the caravans did not need to enter the city in the future. They directly put the goods here, and delivered them to the city in batches, so as not to cause any trouble.

Chang Gui nodded again and again, hehe smiled and said: "It's still the old man and his wife who have the foresight. Not only is this place convenient for transit, but it is also comfortable for people to live in. The people in the caravan are big gentlemen, and they are not used to living in houses. There is a row of houses at the foot of the mountain, specially for the people of the caravan, so that they can live here if they want to go up the mountain or down the river, and they are more comfortable."

The house on Zhuangzi is on a higher terrain, some distance from the farmland, and all fruit trees are planted around. When they come here, they rarely encounter ripe fruit, so they can only stare at the trunk of the fruit trees. Strangely tiring.
