Keisuke Extra (88)

The Chen family handed over 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, so don't go out, stay and accompany the guests."

Hong Po smiled and said, "Okay." He knew that Chen Huanzhang worshiped Mr. Tang, a famous Confucian in the south of the Yangtze River. You must know that of the four students that Mr. Tang accepted before, two of them entered the officialdom and their careers were very smooth, and the other two were also well-known celebrities all over the world, and Chen Huanzhang was his closed disciple. It is conceivable that it must be excellent.

Because of this, Hong Po is under a lot of pressure. I'm afraid that when I get married, my brother-in-law will make it difficult for me to live in the inner courtyard to welcome my relatives. Fortunately, Hong Lang promised to be the best man and bring two helpers, otherwise he would really be worried.

On the second day, Chen Huanzhang came to visit.

When Hong Po saw her brother-in-law, she couldn't help but yelled inwardly, he looks good.

I saw Chen Huanzhang wearing a blue cloth, and his hair was tied up with a black wooden hairpin. Wearing a string of sandalwood Buddha beads on her wrist and no other accessories, she looks like a book in her weak years, and her appearance is worthy of the four words of bright moon. The only bad thing is that it is a little thin.

After meeting Han Jingjing and Hong Po, Chen Huanzhang said apologetically, "The last time the grandson came to visit, Zhou's mother was always worried about the lack of hospitality in the house, so I asked Bo Yuan to come and apologize to the grandson and grandson." Bo Yuan, It is Chen Huanzhang's word.

Han Jingjing smiled and said, "My family, it's outrageous to say that."

Hong Po said that the last visit was very pleasant and not at all unhappy.

Han Jingjing asked: "Bo Yuan, are you going back to Jiangnan after returning to Beijing this time?"

Chen Huanzhang nodded and said, "I'm going back to Jiangnan after seeing my eldest sister off."

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

Chen Huanzhang smiled and said: "Sir, let me leave next year, I have to go back early to make preparations." Up to now, Chen Huanzhang is still in vain, not because he is not talented enough, but because Mr. Tang is suppressing him.

After chatting for a few words, Han Jingjing asked Hong Po to accompany Chen Huanzhang, and she went to deal with other matters.

Chen Huanzhang had a good talk with Hong Po, and they went home after lunch in Chen's residence.

Hongpo sent Chen Huanzhang to the door, and said to him: "If you encounter any embarrassment, just tell me, and I will help you solve it." He also thought that Chen Huanzhang would not cause any major troubles, and he would definitely be able to solve ordinary things .

Chen Huanzhang smiled and said, "Bo Yuan thanked brother-in-law here.

"Although he can solve problems by himself, he is still very happy that his brother-in-law has such a heart in the future.

After sending people away, Hong Po returned home.

Han Jingjing smiled and said: "This kid is really nice." She was gentle, courteous, quiet and introverted, so she got engaged, otherwise the proposer would have to break through the threshold of their house.

Hong Po also agreed with this, but he was very puzzled: "My father-in-law, mother-in-law and brother-in-law are all very nice, why is their old lady so weird?"

Han Jingjing smiled and said, "Mrs. Cui is the stepmother."

Hong Po was surprised: "It turned out to be a stepmother? Why haven't I heard of it?" Generally, the conditions for remarriage are much lower. Therefore, many of the successors are not on the stage.

Han Jingjing smiled and said: "It all happened decades ago, and Mrs. Chen's original spouse didn't leave any children, so no one mentioned it." The older generation also knows that the younger generation doesn't deliberately I don't know if I ask about it.

Hong Po frowned and said, "Even so, given the status of the Chen family, a woman with such poor character shouldn't be allowed in." This Cui family looked like the kind of person who wanted others to surround her. Such people are generally more selfish and cold.

Han Jingjing said: "Grandpa Chen's original partner, Yan Shi, was childhood sweetheart with him. The two are both talented and beautiful, and they like each other. They are truly a match made in heaven. After getting married, they love each other. Unfortunately, this Yan family is relatively weak. Two dead bodies. The old man Chen has been decadent for a long time." Therefore, the daughter-in-law here must not choose a weak body.

Oh, so there is such a story.

Han Jingjing said: "Once Mrs. Chen ran into Mrs. Cui by accident when he was away on a business trip, and found that he looked a lot like Mrs. Yan and wanted to marry her. Although the Cui family could not compare with the Chen family, there were two Scholars. It can be regarded as a family of scholars. Mrs. Cui is the successor of Mrs. Chen, and she is barely worthy. But Chen Shangshu and his wife objected to this marriage after seeing Mrs. Cui, but Mrs. Chen insisted on marrying him. He even let go, Said that if he is not allowed to marry the Cui family, he will never marry a wife again in this life. Chen Shangshu and his wife have no choice but to allow this marriage."

Hong Po said, "Fortunately, my father-in-law is not like him."

"Although your father-in-law was brought up by the Cui family, he was moved to the front yard when he was four years old." After finishing speaking, Han Jingjing shook her head and said, "When Chen Shangshu was with his wife, the Cui family lived peacefully. You can wait for the two After the old man passed away, there was no one to suppress the Cui family, and the backyard became her world. You may not know that your father-in-law and mother-in-law were very affectionate at first, and it was because of her intervention that the husband and wife became strangers."

As the old saying goes, an old family is like a treasure. Like their family, the two ancestors are treasures. But the Cui family of the Chen family is simply a shit stick, making a century-old scholarly family into a mess. Except for Chen Muqing and Chen Huanzhang, none of the next generation of the Chen family could do anything.

Hong Po couldn't help cursing: "What an old witch." Like his great-grandparents, they all look forward to the love and beauty of their children and grandchildren. It's not like such an old hag, making her son and daughter-in-law estranged.

Han Jingjing also looked down on Cui's actions, so she stopped scolding Hong Po.

Hong Po asked: "Grandpa Chen passed away a few years ago, and the Chen family was made into a mess by Cui, so he doesn't care about it."

Han Jingjing shook her head and said, "Old Master Chen has been in poor health since Chen Shangshu and his wife passed away. Even if you know what Cui Shi did, you can't control it. However, one year before he died of illness, he sent your brother-in-law to Jiangnan, and let him pay his respects. I'm under Mr. Tang's sect." Before Mr. Tang accepted Chen Huanzhang, he let go of his words and would not accept any more disciples. Come to think of it, Mrs. Chen paid a lot of money to let Mrs. Tang let go.

Send the eldest grandson to the south of the Yangtze River so that he can avoid the Cui family and the rest of the Chen family. This can be regarded as my last hope for the Chen family.

Seeing Chen Huanzhang, I have to say that Mr. Chen's painstaking efforts were not in vain.

Hearing this, Hong Po nodded and said: "I said that a person who can be a minister would marry such a poor wife to his son. That's why."

After finishing speaking, Hong Po felt a little strange, and asked, "Mother, how do you know so clearly what happened decades ago?"

"I want to know, of course there is a way." Mrs. Chen's two younger sisters-in-law are now housekeepers of the Chen family, and the two are fighting openly and secretly. As a result, the servants in the mansion are also flustered. It's not easy to know something about the past of the Chen family.

Hong Po smiled.

Han Jingjing said earnestly: "Your great-grandfather often said something, you must keep it in your heart."

Hong Po said cheerfully: "Mother, is it true that marrying a wife is not good and will bring disaster to three generations?"

"Yes, that's what I said." Looking at Hong Po's grinning face, Han Jingjing said with a straight face: "Don't be a loser. In the future, you must choose your daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law carefully. Especially if the eldest daughter-in-law is not selected well, it is really worth it. Disaster affects three generations."

Hong Po smiled and said, "Mother, I know." If his great-grandfather hadn't married his great-grandmother, he wouldn't be able to be the ruler of the world. Therefore, the sons of the Yun family all know the importance of marrying a good wife.

Fearing that Hong Po didn't take it to heart, Han Jingjing said worriedly, "You see, the reason our family is so harmonious now is because the eldest daughters-in-law of several palaces have been well chosen." , There are minor problems, but there are no problems in general.

Hong Po smiled and said, "That's because the grandmothers have good eyesight and will pick out wives."

Han Jingjing smiled: "When it comes to choosing a daughter-in-law, there is no one stronger than your great-grandmother."

When Chen Huanzhang returned home, he went to the main courtyard. And Mrs. Chen and Chen Muqing have been waiting for him.

Mrs. Chen looked at Chen Huanzhang's happy expression, and she knew that her son's visit to Prince You's Mansion had a good talk this time.

Chen Huanzhang said with a smile: "Mother, eldest sister, Princess You and brother-in-law are very easy to get along with. Especially brother-in-law, he 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 Per is a grandson. When I came back, I changed my name to brother-in-law. This shows that he recognized Hong Po.

Chen Muqing blushed and said: "Brother, you don't need to say these things to ease my heart." Learning is almost okay, anyway, he won't be an official in the future.

Although the siblings rarely get along with each other, Chen Muqing communicates with Chen Huanzhang every month. Therefore, the relationship between the siblings is very good.

Chen Huanzhang smiled and said, "Sister, I didn't mean to ease your heart. I haven't heard many things that Shisun said before."

Mrs. Chen heard the words and said: "The grandson stayed in front of the emperor and the queen mother for three years. The queen mother is very knowledgeable and has toured half of the world. Many great scholars in the world can't compare with her. After being influenced by her ears and eyes, the grandson's knowledge must be a lot of people. They are all incomparable." Yuxi wrote more than a dozen books, which were widely circulated. If she hadn't been too famous, she would have become the first Confucian with a female surname.

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Chen looked at her son with a look of relief and said, "In the future, you will interact more with your grandchildren. Not only will you increase your knowledge, but you will also get to know more people." It might be helpful for my son in the future. Of course, it would be even better if I could get to know the grandson.

Chen Huanzhang nodded and said, "When I return to Beijing, I will spend more time with my descendants."

Hearing this, Chen Muqing's heart skipped a beat, and he said tentatively, "Brother, can you not return to Jiangnan?"

Chen Huanzhang shook his head and said, "Sir, let me quit next year. If I want to go back to Beijing, I have to pass the exam before I can go back." His ancestral home is in Jiangnan, and children have to go back to Jiangnan for the provincial examination.

Chen Muqing looked disappointed.

Tang Daru is not a pedantic person, he will also teach Chen Huanzhang about human affairs.

Knowing Chen Muqing's worry, Chen Huanzhang said: "My hometown will worship the ancestors in April next year, and the family must send someone there. I will persuade my father to let my mother go to the south of the Yangtze River with me."

Mrs. Chen shook her head and said: "Your marriage is settled, but your concubine's marriage has not yet been settled. Your grandmother will definitely use this as an excuse not to let me go to Jiangnan. Zhang Er, you just go back to Jiangnan to study with peace of mind. Mother is so I've been waiting for many years, so I don't mind waiting two more years." As long as my son is promising, it doesn't matter if I wait two more years.
