When Han Jingjing saw Chen Muqing's eyes were red, she knew she had cried.
Han Jingjing comforted her and said, "If Hongpo performs well, he will be able to enter the Imperial Forest Army in at most two years."
Going to the Imperial Forest Army is actually gilded. Hong Po stayed inside for two or three years, and if he was released outside, he had to be at least a fifth-rank military officer. If the performance is good, it may be the fifth grade.
This is also the reason why civil servants can't get used to the royal family and the children of noble families. As long as they work hard, their starting point will be very high.
Chen Muqing was a little embarrassed and said: "I don't know what happened, but I feel uncomfortable."
Han Jingjing also came here like that, so she can understand Chen Muqing's feelings: "Persons who are pregnant are especially easy to get sentimental."
With Hong Po not around, Chen Muqing couldn't go out because of her big belly, so she felt at ease at home raising her baby.
In July, the weather is extremely hot, and Chen Muqing is pregnant, so she is even more afraid of the heat. Han Jingjing asked her to move to the coolest place in the house. It's also because she is a month old, otherwise it would be best to go to the Summer Resort.
On this day, Han Jingjing went out to attend a banquet. Chen Huansheng asked the palace for something, but the person in charge didn't dare to make up his own mind and asked someone to report to Chen Muqing.
Hearing that Cui Shi was unconscious, Chen Muqing asked, "Why is grandma unconscious?"
Hearing this, Chen Huansheng said helplessly: "The third uncle promised Mulan to a merchant, and got 6,000 taels of silver from that merchant. Don't you know, elder sister, that merchant is already thirty-two this year. Grandma fainted from anger when she found out, Still haven't woken up yet."
As soon as Chen Muqing heard this, she knew there was something hidden. With Cui's temperament, she would definitely be unhappy if she knew about this, but it was absolutely impossible to be so angry that she would faint.
However, she didn't want to ask too many questions, so she just said to the manager: "I took the brand of the Wangfu and went to the Imperial Hospital to invite Imperial Physician Qin." Over the years, even his family members have never heard him talk about the secrets of the patient's family.
Chen Huansheng looked at her big belly, and said with some guilt: "Sister, you should take good care of your baby now, and you shouldn't worry about these things."
Chen Muqing said: "It's okay. My mother-in-law is out for entertainment, so it's not convenient for me to go back today. Tomorrow, I will go back to visit my grandmother." At home, there must be someone in charge.
In the afternoon, Han Jingjing came back. Hearing about Cui's accident, Han Jingjing said: "I should go back and visit." Cui's grandmother is the first line, and her granddaughter is in the capital, how can she not visit her.
It's also because it's too hot outside.
The sun is like a stove, and Chen Muqing has a big belly. Otherwise, Han Jingjing would have asked her to go back and visit now. But it is also a special situation, and outsiders will not pick it up if they know it.
Early the next morning, Chen Muqing returned to the Chen Mansion. I don't know why, but after coming back this time, she felt that the Chen residence was very deserted.
At the gate of the Upper Court, Chen Muqing was stunned when he saw the people coming out, and then called out: "Father." Married girls can go back to their mother's house to live for a period of time according to the rules. But Mrs. Chen wasn't here, so Chen Muqing didn't go back to her mother's house.
Chen Zhonghe saw that Chen Muqing's pregnant complexion was better than that at her mother's house, so she knew that she was living a very good life in Prince You's Mansion: "Your grandmother woke up in the middle of the night yesterday, and she will fall asleep now! Muqing, you are not healthy now. It's not convenient, go in and have a look at her and go back!" The wife is right, no matter whether the daughter is married to the Mo family or the Cui family, it is impossible for her to live so well.
Since Mrs. Chen went to Tongzhou, Chen Zhonghe has been thinking about why the couple came to this point. Back then, their husband and wife loved and cared for their children, and their official careers were smooth. But now, the husband and wife are turning against each other, and the children are divorced, and their official career is not going well. All things, nothing goes well.
After entering the room, she smelled a strange smell, and Chen Muqing was so uncomfortable that she almost vomited, but she still resisted and walked in.
Cui was lying on the bed, even when she was asleep, her brows were furrowed, as if she had endless worries.
After looking at the people, Chen Muqing hurried out. After going out of the house to breathe the air outside, she felt a little better.
Chen Zhonghe saw that her expression was not right, and asked anxiously: "Mu Qing, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong, may I call a doctor for you?"
Hearing Chen Zhonghe's concerned voice, Chen Muqing's dissatisfaction with him also dissipated a little: "The smell in the room is too bad, I'm not used to it. But it will be fine if you come out."
Chen Zhonghe heard the words: "It's inconvenient for you to have a big belly. You don't have to come back if you haven't sent someone to call you back."
The smell in the room was too bad, Chen Muqing didn't want to smell it again: "Okay."
After thinking for a while, Chen Muqing asked in a low voice, "Father, what are you going to do with the third uncle?"
Chen Zhonghe hesitated for a while, and after waving away from the crowd, he said to her: "I originally wanted to separate him, but your grandmother didn't agree, and even fainted because of it." So the plan to separate the third child was in vain.
Chen Muqing said in silence: "Father, I'm going back." As a married woman, she is not qualified to take care of her natal family affairs.
Chen Zhonghe sent Chen Muqing out, helped her into the carriage and said, "Muqing, if there's anything wrong, send someone to tell me."
Chen Muqing nodded.
Looking at Chen Muqing's sleepy look, Mai Mai said, "Grandma, why don't you tell the master to go to Tongzhou to pick up your wife?"
"What do you do when you take it back? Continue to be angry with grandma? Or help take care of this mess?" With the Chen family like this, she didn't want Shu Shi back at all.
Mai Mai was startled to realize that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said, "It's all because the slaves talk too much."
Chen Muqing shook her head and said: "Huanzhang will return to Beijing at the end of next year, and mother will naturally come back by then." But when she thought about all the troubles of the Chen family, she suddenly felt bad again.
When I got home, I heard Yuan Yi begging to see her. Chen Muqing was very surprised and said, "Let him in." Yuan Yi is Hong Po's confidant, but Hong Po doesn't need anyone to serve him when he goes to the barracks. Therefore, he left Yuan Yi to Chen Muqing.
Yuan Yi asked for an interview this time because he had something very important to tell Chen Muqing: "Grandma, that person surnamed Cai has a wife and child in his hometown."
Pregnant people, most of the reactions are slower. Therefore, Chen Muqing didn't understand for a while: "What?"
Yuan Yi said: "This person surnamed Cai is the merchant who wants to marry the third girl."
Chen Muqing stood up in shock: "What did you say? That person surnamed Cai has a wife and child?"
Yuan nodded and said: "Yes." Hong Po used to be a tyrant in the capital, and Yuan Yi, as his confidant, naturally knew many people of all levels. Someone found out about this by accident and told Yuan Yi the news.
"sure?"
Yuan nodded and said: "After I got the news, I was afraid of making a mistake, so I bought an old servant of the Cai family. The old servant said that the surnamed Cai did have a wife and children in his hometown. The older one is fifteen years old."
Chen Muqing's face suddenly turned livid: "It's so daring to cheat on marriage." This person surnamed Cai has a wife and children, so Mulan is not a wife but a concubine if she marries him. If the Chen family had a concubine girl, their Chen family would no longer be qualified to be called a family of scholars.
Yuan Yi hesitated and said, "Grandma, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. That person surnamed Cai is just a merchant, how could he have the guts to plot against the Chen family?" Once the incident happened, the Chen family would definitely let this person surnamed Cai die without burial. place. So he felt that this must have been instigated by someone.
Chen Muqing thought that both his great-grandfather and grandfather were high-ranking officials, so they must have made some enemies. These people couldn't count on her father, so they plotted against her useless third uncle. And this move was really ruthless, because Master Chen San took six thousand taels of silver from the surname Cai, and after Mulan married, he would expose the matter. Others would not believe that the Chen family was cheated, they would only think that the Chen family sold their daughters as concubines. The century-old reputation of the Chen family will be destroyed in one day.
Chen Muqing wanted to go to Chen Zhonghe and tell him about it, but she thought that Master Chen San got into trouble several times because of her grandmother's protection and finally nothing happened. For a moment, she hesitated.
After thinking for a long time, Chen Muqing said, "Mai, how do you think about this matter?"
"Tell the master, let the master handle it?"
Chen Muqing sneered and said: "What's the use of telling my father? He must have dissolved the marriage, but this time he sold Mulan as his concubine for 6,000 taels of silver. Who knows what outrageous things he will do in the future Come." Mulan is the eldest daughter of Sanfang. His own daughter can be sold for money, so what bottom line can you expect from such a bastard.
Mai Mai didn't have any good ideas, but she made a suggestion: "Grandma, why don't you ask the prince. The prince has a lot of experience, so he should be able to give you a good idea."
Those things about the Chen family are known to everyone in Prince You's Mansion, so even if you tell your grandfather about it, there is nothing shameful about it.
After listening to what Chen Muqing said, Qiyou asked, "How do you want to deal with this matter?"
Chen Muqing shook her head. It was because she didn't know how to solve this that she was so upset.
Qiyou said: "If you can't make up your mind, write to your brother and let him solve it."
Chen Muqing was stunned and said: "Grandfather, my brother is still young." She didn't want to drag Chen Huanzhang into these messy things.
"You have to be clear, your younger brother is the next head of the Chen family. It is his job to take care of the Chen family's affairs." After a pause, Qiyou said: "Your father has good character and talent, but he lacks courage. Indecisive, has been wasted until now."
Chen Muqing felt a little uncomfortable, and said, "But my younger brother is only fifteen years old this year."
"That can't be helped, who let him meet such an indecisive father!"
Seeing that Chen Muqing's eyes were red, Qiyou said: "Some things should be constantly disturbed. If you don't use this incident to severely punish him, your Chen family will never have peace. It is difficult for your brother to deal with this incident. But it’s a kind of training for him.”
Thinking of what Han Jingjing said before, boys can grow up faster by going through more things. Chen Muqing made up his mind, wiped away his tears and said, "Grandfather, I know what to do."
Qiyou reminded: "Your brother is the future head of the family, no matter what he decides, your father can't blame him."
Chen Muqing understood the meaning of Qiyou's words, she was a married woman and couldn't get involved in these matters. Otherwise, inside and outside are not people.
After returning home, Chen Muqing wrote a letter, asking Master Chen San to eat free food in her name until he owed a huge amount of gambling debts, and then betrothed Mulan to Cai with 6,000 taels of silver. The person surnamed Cai has a wife and son in his hometown.
After sending the letter, Chen Muqing felt a little regretful, and asked Mai Mai: "Tell me, what do you think Huanzhang will do?"
This, how can wheat know.
