reborn wife

During the New Year's Eve, it was supposed to be a time of joy for the whole family, and this year was Wen Zhiru's first time to celebrate the New Year at home as the young master of the Wen family, so there were more various entertainments than in previous years.

Wen Zhiru originally thought that he should wait until after the New Year's Eve to go to Mu Yunying's invitation, but he was thinking about the various changes in the capital since he left the capital, and the matter that he agreed to Wen Xi to help her enter the palace. Son, decided to find an excuse to leave the house early.

Because it was Chinese New Year, anyone with a family in the capital was busy with his wife and children, and the business of Yun Jian Que was naturally not as lively as it used to be.

Wen Zhiru sent someone secretly to send out the message, and got a reply very quickly, and the time was around the afternoon of the next day.

Rumors that the eldest son of the first assistant's family in the capital lingered in Yunjian Que's gentle hometown were unacceptable, so the place for the invitation was chosen in a chess club outside the east gate of the capital.

The capital city in the first month is the coldest season of the year, and there will be heavy snowfall from time to time. Wen Zhiru is the most afraid of the cold after his rebirth. He almost fell ill on the way to Shanxi Mansion before, and now he has to go out Even more cautious.

Clothes and leather jackets were tightly wrapped inside and out, and even the traveling carriage was covered with thick mattresses and a heater.

But even so, when the carriage finally arrived at the chess club, the moment Wen Zhiru lifted the curtain of the carriage, a gust of cold wind hit his face, which made him shiver uncontrollably.

It was naturally inconvenient to bring the two chattering little girls by his side to meet Mu Yunying, so it was naturally Leng Feng and Leng Yun who traveled with Wen Zhiru this time.

Seeing that Wen Zhiru shrunk his neck from the cold, the cold wind quickly stepped forward and lifted the cotton curtain at the door for Wen Zhiru, "Master, it's cold outside, come in quickly!"

The first emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty loved chess very much, which attracted scholars and scholars all over the country to follow suit. There are many chess clubs, large and small. There are also some princes and nobles who come to learn chess.

There are naturally fewer people coming during the New Year's Day, but it is not awkward for a young official like Wen Zhiru to come and go here even if he is seen by others.

When Wen Zhiru walked in, Mu Yunying was already waiting for him in a private room in the back hall. Just like when we first met, there was already freshly brewed hot tea on the table, and some were lit in the incense burner next to it. Refreshing incense.

It has been nearly half a year since I saw Mu Yunying last time. During this period, Wen Zhiru has experienced a lot and grown a lot. She is no longer the ignorant young man she was back then. Calm and calm.

He sat down opposite Mu Yunying and took a sip of tea.

Although this tea is not as expensive and exquisite as the tribute given by the emperor, it has a unique fragrance, which can make people's whole body and mind calm down.

Seeing Wen Zhiru's doubts, Mu Yunying poured new tea into the cup in front of him, "This tea was specially added with some herbs when it was roasted, but in order to prevent the tea drinkers from drinking , so I specially chose some with a light and fragrant smell. The effect of calming down is the best, and it seems that you should like it."

"Yes, it's quite special." Wen Zhiru couldn't help but drank two more glasses.

In the past few days, I was a little bored by the relatives and guests coming and going at home, but now I feel very calm.

"If you need it, I can have someone pack it for you and take it home."

Wen Zhiru originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, this is not a rare thing that makes money, and it is said to be a calming tea, but he feels that it is not only the only one who can make Mu Yunying entertain guests like this. Such a simple effect.

He nodded as a thank you, "Then it's not disrespectful."

Skipping the initial greetings, Mu Yunying finally got down to business with Wen Zhiru. He took out a dozen banknotes and some contract land deeds and pushed them in front of Wen Zhiru, "What I promised you last time, this It’s the profit of the past few months, and this is the land deed and deed of sale to help you buy fields and hire workers.”

Wen Zhiru is actually not very savvy when it comes to money. After all, it was not his turn to routinely spend in the palace in his previous life. However, after counting the bank notes, he was surprised to find that there were 20 taels.

Counting the time it took for Mu Yunying to send people to the local area and then hire people to start the work, it may not take two months to actually mine the gold mines. Is there already so much money?

"This is only the initial stage. Many mining workers still need more professional training, and the scale will gradually increase in the future, and the price can be raised a little bit."

Wen Zhiru roughly calculated according to Mu Yunying's explanation. Does this mean that in the next two years, he might become the number one richest businessman in the Dajin Dynasty?

This surprised Wen Zhiru so much that he couldn't hide his emotions.

Mu Yunying also saw that Wen Zhiru was still young, but calm, but compared to other teenagers of this age, he was already pretty good, so she kindly reminded: "In my opinion, it shouldn't be too ostentatious. I hope Mr. Wen will forgive me for revealing the boss behind the gold mine to anyone."

"Yes, Mr. Ying is thoughtful, I will keep it in mind."

Originally, he didn't intend to tell others these things lightly. After all, the forces in Wen's Mansion, Xian Wang's Mansion, and the court are all complicated now.

"That's the end of what I want to explain. I wonder if Mr. Wen has any other orders?"

Before, Mu Yunying sent someone to send a letter to Wen Zhiru, just to inform him that the matter of buying land and mining in Guizhou has been completed and the progress is going well. If Wen Zhiru has time to meet with him during the New Year It's nothing at all, you can also send trustworthy subordinates such as bank notes and land deeds to directly hand over to the shadow guards around Wen Zhiru.

But Wen Zhiru directly asked him to meet today, presumably there is still something else to say.

"The news on the twelfth floor is well-informed, and besides, it has always been inseparable from the court. Young Master Ying should naturally know that after the beginning of spring, the Empress Dowager intends to choose a group of beautiful women with outstanding family backgrounds to accompany her in the palace."

"It's true that I have heard about it, but the twelfth floor has never been involved in the affairs of the emperor's harem. Mr. Wen should also know."

"Originally, the Empress Dowager took a fancy to Wen Yan, the third daughter of our Wen family, but you know how Qian, as the main wife, would not give such a great opportunity to her own daughter, and Zhi Yan is more suitable in terms of status. , I am afraid that something will happen."

Of course Mu Yunying knew what Wen Zhiru was referring to, but she didn't change her expression: "Why is Mr. Wen starting to care about the friendship between sisters?"

"Friendship and so on are all things to come. Mr. Ying should know better than me who is behind Qian Linmo, Qian's elder brother. If her daughter becomes a concubine, it will only cause harm to my father but no benefit. "

Wen Zhiru didn't intend to hide Mu Yunying's thoughts on this matter, originally these were her own family affairs, and it was inappropriate to bother an outsider, but he is indeed short of manpower now, Wen Yu was grounded, and Zhi Yan entered the palace Seeing the queen mother is almost a certainty, but it is not so easy to make the old queen mother change her mind and choose Zhiyan as concubine instead of Wen concubine.

But the fact that the Wen family wanted to elect a concubine might not be able to change. He was not sure whether the Qian family would take the risk and do something outrageous to Wen Pei.

From Mr. Feng, he knew that the master behind Mu Yunying was actually his own father, so if it was something that endangered Wen Yanfeng, there was no reason for Mu Yunying not to take action.
