Mrs. Chen Er almost fell to the ground when she heard that her son's close-knit maid was three months pregnant. It was the maid who had quick eyes and quick hands and held her back.
After a while, Mrs. Chen Er asked with red eyes: "Does the second master and Huansheng know about this?"
Shu Shi shook his head and said: "They don't know." If they knew, how could they send people away so smoothly.
Hearing this, Mrs. Chen Er breathed a sigh of relief. The husband knows that he is not afraid. Not only will he not talk outside, but he will hold it tightly, because he can't afford to lose his face. If my son doesn't know, he is not afraid of making trouble.
Mrs. Chen Er looked at Shu Shi with a grateful look, and said, "Sister-in-law, thank you." If this thing goes out, even if his son is selected as a scholar in the future, he will not be able to say a satisfactory marriage in the capital.
Shu Shi said: "I will be on my dowry Zhuangzi, and I will hand it to you in two days." How to deal with it is Mrs. Chen's business.
Mrs. Chen Er shook her head and said, "Sister-in-law, when they go to Jiangnan, you will give them to me again!" As a son, Chen Zhongxuan must also help the spirit back to his hometown. Waiting for the second master to leave her to deal with the matter, there is no worries.
Shu Shih said, "Okay."
Back in her yard, Mrs. Chen's second wife saw Chen Zhongxuan break in before she was hot.
Chen Zhongxuan stared at her angrily and asked, "What are you going to do with your sister-in-law?"
"I'm asking my sister-in-law what to do, there is no need to tell you." Even though she tore her face, Mrs. Chen Er didn't save him face.
Seeing Chen Zhongxuan approaching, Mrs. Chen said viciously: "If you dare to touch my finger again, I will go to the yamen and sue you to pet your concubine and destroy your wife."
Chen Zhongxuan said angrily: "Dare you?"
"Try it and see if I dare."
The official who hates to spoil concubines and destroy wives the most in today's sage, once confirmed, they have to take off their black hats. Chen Zhongxuan didn't dare to do anything, just scolded: "What do you want to do? Are you happy if you have to disturb this family?"
Mrs. Chen Er sneered: "Do you think of me as your wife? I'm afraid it's in your heart. That bastard is your wife, and I'm just a decoration."
"What nonsense are you talking about. Cheng is just a concubine, how can he compare with you." Only Chen Zhongxuan knows whether this is true or not.
Mrs. Chen Er now no longer believes Chen Zhongxuan's words: "I used to be stupid to believe your words. Chen Zhongxuan, I don't care how you want to spoil the Cheng. But if you come to provoke me, don't blame me for trying to kill me."
Seeing Madam Chen Er with a fierce face, Chen Zhongxuan was really a little scared: "I think you are really very sick."
Before Chen Zhonghe slept until noon and didn't wake up, Chen Huanzhang went to ask him to get up for dinner, only to find that his face was flushed. Chen Huanzhang touched his forehead and found it was boiling hot.
Shu Shi heard Chen Huanzhang yelling to invite the doctor outside, and hurriedly walked in and asked, "What's the matter?"
Chen Huanzhang said anxiously: "Mother, father has a fever, and his forehead is hot."
Shu Shi asked Pearl to fetch water, and then put a wet towel dipped in water on his forehead.
Seeing that Chen Huanzhang's eyes were red, Shu Shi hurriedly comforted him and said, "Don't worry, Zhang'er, your father is probably too tired recently to rest, so he got sick." Chen Zhonghe hasn't had a good night's sleep these days. Sleeping, and now being hit by this again, the iron man can't stand it either.
Seeing Mrs. Chen not worrying at all, Chen Huanzhang couldn't help but said: "Mother, I know that Dad has many problems. But he used to treat you well and loved my eldest sister. Mother, would you give Dad a chance?" I just hope that the family can be as happy as before.
Shu Shi ignored the latter sentence, but did not hear: "Well, your sister and brother will be filial to him in the future."
Chen Huanzhang sighed secretly when he heard the words, and said nothing more.
The doctor came quickly, and what she said was basically the same as what Mrs. Chen thought. Chen Zhonghe was exhausted and overwhelmed, and was irritated, which made him unbearable and fell ill.
After the prescription, the doctor left.
Chen Zhonghe didn't wake up until midnight, and he opened his eyes and saw Chen Huanzhang by the bed.
When Chen Huanzhang saw him wake up, he was pleasantly surprised: "Father, you are awake."
The first sentence Chen Zhonghe asked was: "Where is your mother?"
Chen Zhonghe's eyes went dark when he heard Shu's going to rest. If I was sick before, my wife would be by my side. But now, he was in a coma for so long and left him alone.
Chen Huanzhang asked with concern: "Father, are you hungry? I'll ask someone to bring you millet porridge."
After eating a bowl of millet porridge, Chen Zhonghe felt a lot more comfortable: "Zhang'er, go to bed too! If something happens, I'll be a maid."
Chen Huanzhang walked away at ease: "Father, I will sleep next to you, call me if you have something to do!"
When Chen Zhonghe was asleep, Shu Shi came over: "Zhang'er, go and rest, I'll guard here." If it's not for her son, she doesn't care about Chen Zhonghe.
Chen Huanzhang smiled and said, "Okay."
The next morning, Chen Zhongxuan came to visit Chen Zhonghe, but was stopped by Shu Shi.
When things broke up, Shu's words were not so polite: "The doctor said that your eldest brother is too sad to fall ill. Second master, I hope you can make my master feel at ease to recuperate." This is bad. It is directly said that Chen Zhongxuan caused Chen Zhonghe to fall ill.
Chen Zhongxuan blushed and said, "Sister-in-law, if the older brother is in better health, please send someone to let me know." After speaking, he left in embarrassment.
Chen Zhonghe was in his prime of life, and after taking medicine and lying down for a day, he was better off.
Seeing him about to get up, Shu's said coldly: "The doctor said that you were overworked and fell ill. You need a good rest during this time."
Chen Zhonghe continued and said, "I'm fine."
Shu's face said blankly: "If you die, Huan Zhang will have to observe filial piety for another three years. At that time, let alone scientific research, the daughter-in-law will not be able to marry." Generally speaking, grandsons keep filial piety for one year. Of course, the so-called one year is actually nine months. However, Chen Huanzhang is the eldest grandson and the heir to the family. According to the etiquette, he has to observe filial piety for three years or 27 months. Therefore, he will not be able to participate in the next year's rural examination.
Chen Zhonghe looked at Shu Shi and asked, "Ning Niang, do you hate me so? You don't even care about my life or death." When he said this, he felt sad.
Shu Shi shook her head and said, "If there is love, there will be hate. Where does the hate come from if there is no love." This means that she does not hate Chen Zhonghe.
Chen Zhonghe's heart was sore. The husband and wife quarreled to this point because he caused it alone. To blame, he can only blame himself, who made him follow his mother.
It was already five days after Chen Zhonghe recovered. In the past few days, Mrs. Chen forbids Chen Huanzhang to do things outside the house, and throws them all to Chen Zhongxuan. It saves Chen Zhongxuan that it's okay, thinking about how to calculate their big room. Therefore, in the past few days, Chen Zhongxuan has not even had the time to breathe.
Chief Chen heard that Chen Zhonghe said he wanted to help the spirit back to Jiangnan, and said with some worry: "Does your body survive? Neutralization, the body is more important. If your body can't stand it, you can help the spirit back next year in the spring of next year!" He had to take a step back to his hometown. He is used to staying in Jiangnan, and he has not adapted to the climate here.
Chen Zhonghe smiled and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I'm already healed."
Two days later, the brothers Chen Zhonghe and Chen Zhongxuan returned to Jiangnan. As soon as the two brothers left, the entire Chen Mansion was deserted in an instant.
Mrs. Chen Er took the opportunity to get rid of the child in Biyu's belly. Then, she was assigned to a widower of Zhuangzi.
Not selling it in the building, but rationing it to a childless young widower, is considered merciful.
Shu's knew about this, and he threw away his brows without frowning, and asked his confidant, "Are everything ready?" Because Qiqi is Shigetiao who can't put brightly colored things at home, she didn't give it to her grandson. Buy gifts. Now, they have to make up.
Pearl smiled and said, "It's all set."
On the second day, Shu's took Chen Huanzhang to Prince You's Mansion. Because he said hello in advance, the child was at home today.
Brother Yuan was wearing a big red dress, and he was chubby, not to mention how cute.
Shu Shi couldn't bear to let go when he was holding Brother Yuan.
Chen Huanzhang waited a little anxiously and couldn't help but said: "Mother, let me hug you!"
Shu Shi handed him the child. I was afraid that he could not hold it well, but I didn't expect it to look like he would hold it.
Chen Muqing asked in surprise: "Huanzhang, have you ever held a child before?" The movements are so familiar, he must have held the child.
Chen Huanzhang laughed and said, "The grandson who has held her husband several times..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Brother Yuan showing a brilliant smile at him.
Chen Huanzhang shouted as if he had picked up gold ingots: "Mother, eldest sister, Yuan brother laughed at me." Unfortunately, after finishing speaking, Yuan brother stopped smiling.
Shu Shi said funny: "How can such a small child smile at you. He laughed just now, it was all unconscious."
Regardless of what Shu's and Chen Muqing said, Chen Huanzhang decided that his nephew had just laughed at him.
It's rare to see such a childish side of Chen Huanzhang, Chen Muqing couldn't do it with joy.
After talking about a short conversation, Chen Muqing asked with concern: "Huanzhang, you can't take the township examination next year, what are your plans?"
Chen Huanzhang said: "My husband meant that I should go to the Baitan Academy next year." During the period of filial piety, I cannot take the scientific examination, but there is no restriction that I cannot take the examination. Tang Daru meant that Chen Huanzhang went to Baitan Academy to study for a few years, and there were many famous teachers in it. Studying there for a few years will not only increase your knowledge, but also get to know more people and expand your network. In the future, these classmates will be resources.
Chen Muqing thinks that Tang Daru is very considerate: "Then you will study hard during this time, and try to get a good ranking next year." With her brother's talents, she will definitely be admitted to Baitan Academy without accident. I just don't know if I can get into the top three.
Chen Huanzhang smiled and said, "Sister, I won't let you and my mother down."
Chen Muqing was very pleased.
After Shu Shi asked Chen Huanzhang to carry the child out, he asked, "Mu Qing, how about your health?"
Chen Muqing smiled and nodded and said: "The imperial doctor said that I am raising well. But my mother-in-law said that if the child is too close, it is difficult to discipline, so I will have a second child in two years."
Shu Shi actually wanted to tell Chen Muqing not to get pregnant again within a year, and when she heard Han Jingjing say that she would have nothing to say after two years. The concubine is really a generous mother-in-law.
Chen Muqing smiled and said: "Mother, you don't have to worry about me. I don't understand, I will ask my mother-in-law. But Huanzhang has to prepare for the provincial examination after he has finished his filial piety, and he will not be married until he is in his twenties. "
Shu Shi smiled and said: "The Mu's family is not unreasonable. Moreover, the Mu's girl is three months older than your brother. The marriage date of the two must be set after your brother's township exam."
Now Chen Muqing was also worried about Chen Huanzhang's younger brother, and she was relieved when she heard this.
