The Chen family handed the post to Prince You's Mansion.
In the evening, Han Jingjing and Hong Po said: "Tomorrow your brother-in-law will come to the house as a guest. Don't go out and stay with the guests."
Hong Po smiled and said, "Okay." He knew that Chen Huanzhang was under the name of Mr. Tang, a famous scholar in the south of the Yangtze River. We must know that of the four students Mr. Tang previously accepted, two of them went smoothly in officialdom, and the other two were also well-known celebrities in the world, and Chen Huanzhang was his closed disciple. As you can imagine, it must be excellent.
Because of this, Hongpo is under great pressure. I'm afraid that when I get married, my brother-in-law will find it difficult to live in the inner courtyard to welcome my relatives. Fortunately, Hong Lang promised to be bridesmaid and would bring two helpers, otherwise he would really worry.
On the second day, Chen Huanzhang came to visit.
Seeing his brother-in-law, Hong Po couldn't help but scream in secret, good-looking.
I saw Chen Huanzhang wearing a blue cloth, and his hair was raised with an ink-colored wooden hairpin. Wearing a string of sandalwood Buddhist beads on his wrists, there are no other ornaments, but he has the smell of scrolls in his weak crown, and his appearance is worthy of the four characters of Haoyue Zhiming. The only bad thing is that she is a little thin.
After giving a gift to Han Jingjing and Hongpo, Chen Huanzhang said apologetically: "Last time the grandson came to visit, the family's mother was uneasy when he was hospitalized in the house, and Bo Yuan came to apologize to his concubines and concubines." Bo Yuan, It is the word of Chen Huanzhang.
Han Jingjing smiled and said, "Family, it's ridiculous to say this."
Hong Po said that the last time he visited the door was very pleasant, not the least unpleasant.
Han Jingjing asked, "Boyuan, will you return to Jiangnan this time when you return to Beijing?"
Chen Huanzhang nodded and said: "After sending my eldest sister out, I will return to Jiangnan."
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
Chen Huanzhang smiled and said: "Mr. Let me go off next year, I have to go back early to make preparations." Up to now, Chen Huanzhang is still in white body, not that he has not learned enough, but Mr. Tang pressed him down.
After chatting for a few words, Han Jingjing asked Hong Po to accompany Chen Huanzhang, and she went to deal with other things.
Chen Huanzhang and Hong Po had a very happy conversation, and went home after having lunch in the Chen Mansion.
Hong Po sent Chen Huanzhang to the door and said to him: "If you encounter any difficulties, just tell me, I will help you solve them." He also thinks that Chen Huanzhang will not cause major incidents, and he can definitely solve ordinary things. .
Chen Huanzhang smiled and said, "Bo Yuan thanked his brother-in-law here." Although he can solve the problem himself, he is still very happy that his brother-in-law has this heart in the future.
After sending the people away, Hong Po returned home.
Han Jingjing smiled and said, "This kid is really nice." Gentle, polite, calm and introverted, he decided to kiss him, otherwise he would have to break the threshold of their house.
Hong Po agreed with this, but he was puzzled: "My father-in-law and my brother-in-law are very good, why is their old lady so weird?"
Han Jingjing smiled and said, "Cui's is the successor."
Hong Po was surprised: "It turned out to be a successor? Why haven't I heard of it?" Generally, the conditions for renewing the marriage are much lower. Therefore, many of the following rooms are not allowed on the table.
Han Jingjing smiled and said: "It was all decades ago, plus the original wife of Mrs. Chen did not leave a child, so naturally no one mentioned it." The older generation also knows that the younger generation does not deliberately. I don't know if I go to inquire.
Hong Po frowned and said, "Even so, the Chen family shouldn't let a woman with such a bad character come in." This Cui family seemed to be the kind of person who wanted others to circle her. Such people are generally more selfish and cool.
Han Jingjing said: "Old Mrs. Chen's original partner, Yan clan, is a childhood sweetheart with him. The two men are talented men and women, and they like each other. They are a true match made in heaven. After marriage, the two are kind and affectionate. It is a pity that the Yan clan is relatively weak. The corpse has two lives. Mrs. Chen has been decadent for this for a long time." So, this daughter-in-law must not choose the weak one.
Oh, there is still such a story.
Han Jingjing said: "Once, Mrs. Chen accidentally ran into the Cui family on a business trip, and found that he looked a lot like the Yan family and wanted to marry her. Although the Cui family can’t compare with the Chen family, they have also had two Jinshi. It’s also considered a scholar. The Cui family was a successor to the old man, and he was barely worthy of it. But Chen Shangshu and his wife opposed the marriage after they met Cui, but the old man insisted on marrying. He also let go. Said that if he is not allowed to marry the Cui family, he will never marry a wife in his life. Chen Shangshu and his wife have no choice but to allow this family."
Hong Po said: "Fortunately, my father-in-law is not like him."
"Although your father-in-law was brought up by Cui's family, he was moved to the front yard at the age of four." After speaking, Han Jingjing shook his head and said, "Cui's family was separated when Chen Shangshu was with his wife. But wait for the two. After the old man passed away, no one suppressed the Cui family, and the backyard became her world. You may not know that your father-in-law and mother-in-law began to be very affectionate because of her intervention, making the couple become strangers."
As the old saying goes, an old family is like a treasure. Like their home, the two ancestors are treasures. But the Cui clan of the Chen family was simply a dung stick, making a century-old scholarly family home smoky. In the next generation of the Chen family, apart from Chen Muqing and Chen Huanzhang, none of them were able to come up with it.
Hong Po couldn't help cursing: "Really an old witch." Like his great-grandparents, they all looked forward to the love and beauty of their children and grandchildren. It's like such an old witch, making her son and daughter-in-law confuse her.
Han Jingjing also didn't look down on Cui's actions, so she didn't scold Hong Po any more.
Hong Po asked: "Old Mrs. Chen passed away a few years ago, and the Chen family was smoggy by the Cui clan, so he doesn't care."
Han Jingjing shook his head and said: "Old Mrs. Chen has been in poor health since the death of Chen Shangshu and his wife. Even if he knew what Cui was doing, he couldn't control it. However, he sent your brother-in-law to Jiangnan a year before he died and asked him to worship. Under Tang's sect." Before Tang took Chen Huanzhang, he let out his words and would not accept disciples. Thinking about it, Mrs. Chen paid a lot of money to let Tang Lao let go.
Send the eldest grandson to Jiangnan, let him avoid the Cui family and the others in the Chen family. This can be regarded as my last hope for the Chen family.
Seeing Chen Huanzhang, I have to say that Mrs. Chen's hard work was not in vain.
Hearing this, Hong Po nodded and said: "I said that someone who can be a scholar, how could he marry his son such a terrible daughter-in-law, that's how it is."
After speaking, Hong Po was a little strange, and asked: "Mother, how did you know so clearly about things decades ago?"
"I want to know, naturally there is a way." The Chen family is now the housekeeper of Mrs. Chen's two sister-in-laws, and the two are fighting in secret. As a result, the subordinates in the mansion are also very popular. It is not easy to know something about the Chen family's past.
Hong Po smiled.
Han Jingjing said earnestly: "Your great-grandfather often says something, you must keep it in mind."
Hong Po said cheerfully, "Mother, do you mean to marry a wife and not be evil for three generations."
"Yes, that's what I said." Looking at Hong Po's grinning expression, Han Jingjing said with a stern face: "Don't be right. In the future, you must choose your daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law. Especially if the eldest daughter-in-law is not chosen well, it is really true. Three generations are harmed."
Hong Po smiled and said, "Mother, I know." If his great-grandfather had not married his great-grandmother, he would not be the lord of the world. So their son-in-law of the Yun family knows the importance of marrying a good wife.
Han Jingjing was afraid that Hongpo wouldn't take it to heart, and said uneasy: "You see our family can be so harmonious now, because the eldest daughter-in-law of several palaces are selected well." From Yunsheng to Yunxu's eldest son's daughter-in-law. , There are minor problems, but all aspects are fine.
Hong Po smiled and said, "That's why a few grandmothers have a good eye and will pick a wife."
Han Jingjing smiled: "When it comes to picking a daughter-in-law, there is nothing stronger than your great-grandmother."
When Chen Huanzhang returned home, he went to the main courtyard. And Madam Chen and Chen Muqing have been waiting for him.
Madam Chen looked at Chen Huanzhang with a happy expression, and knew that this time her son went to Youwangfu to have a good talk.
Chen Huanzhang smiled and said: "Mother, eldest sister, You Wang Shi Zifei and brother-in-law are very good. Especially the brother-in-law, who has a lot of knowledge. I have benefited a lot from talking with him this time." Before going to the palace, he also called Hong Hong Amber is the grandson of the world. After coming back, he changed his name to brother-in-law. This shows that he recognized Hongpo.
Chen Muqing blushed and said: "Die, you don't have to say these things to ease my heart." Learning is almost OK, anyway, he won't be admitted to the imperial examination.
Although the two siblings have few opportunities to get along, Chen Muqing communicates with Chen Huanzhang every month. Therefore, the two brothers and sisters have a very good relationship.
Chen Huanzhang smiled and said: "Sister, I am not trying to relax your heart. I have never heard of many things that Shi Sun said before."
Mrs. Chen heard the words: "The grandson stayed in front of the Emperor and the Queen Mother for three years. The empress dowager was very knowledgeable and visited more than half of the world. Many great scholars in the world can't compare to her. Under the influence of the ears and eyes, the knowledge of the grandson must be a lot of people. It's incomparable." Yuxi wrote more than a dozen books, which were widely circulated. Had it not been for her reputation to be too prominent, she would have become the first big scholar with a female surname.
After speaking, Mrs. Chen looked at her son and said with satisfaction: "You will not only increase your knowledge, but also get to know some people." Those who interact with the generations and grandchildren are either rich or expensive, and associate with these people. It may be helpful to my son in the future. Of course, it would be even better if you could get to know Taisun.
Chen Huanzhang nodded and said, "When I return to Beijing, I will walk more with my grandson."
Chen Muqing's heart burst upon hearing this, and tentatively said: "Di, can you not return to Jiangnan?"
Chen Huanzhang shook his head and said, "Mr. will let me end next year. If you want to return to Beijing, you have to pass the test before you can return."
Chen Muqing looked disappointed.
Tang Daru is not a pedantic person, and will teach Chen Huanzhang about accidents.
Chen Huanzhang knew Chen Muqing's worries, and said: "Next April, I will worship the ancestors in my hometown, and my family must send someone to go. I will persuade my father to let my mother go to Jiangnan with me."
Mrs. Chen shook her head and said: "Your marriage is settled, but your concubine and their marriage have not yet settled. Your grandmother will definitely use this as an excuse not to let me go to Jiangnan. Zhang'er, you can go back to Jiangnan to study. I have been waiting for many years, and I don’t care about waiting for two more years.
