Chapter 284 Mission 026
Xiao Yu talked a lot. The more Chen Shaojun listened, the more his expression changed: "What do you mean?"
Xiao Yu sighed: "Actually, I know that you have been hostile to eldest brother these years. But why are you hostile to me? Logically speaking, it should be because I hate you, right?"
Chen Shaojun's face darkened: "I don't understand what brother is talking about!"
Xiao Yu said to himself: "When I was young, your mother had you, so she felt that I, the eldest son of the original wife, was blocking the way, and wanted to get rid of me. Unexpectedly, my grandparents and father found out. Just watching They didn't touch her because of your face, so they felt guilty towards me. They have been doting on me all these years and wanted to make up for it, but I still remember the pain of going through hell when I was young, even if I have to. Speaking of hate, it’s only right that I hate you, why are you hostile to me?”
Chen Shaojun didn't want to believe it and reacted violently: "You are so slanderous! How could my mother..."
Xiao Yu interrupted him: "How is it impossible? If you kill me, you will be the legitimate heir, and the entire Amber Mansion will belong to you and your mother! Why can't she do such a hugely profitable thing? Do you think your mother died before she died? What was the reason for the frequent heart palpitations in those years? Was it because I was always worried about things being revealed? "
Chen Shaojun thought of his mother's worried look before she died, and couldn't help but start to doubt...
Xiao Yu said with a cold expression: "To be honest, if your mother was still alive, I would rather give up my dream than give up my position as the heir of Amber Mansion to you. I hate your mother, but I just don't want to see her proud. ! But she has been dead for many years. You are my biological brother after all. You didn’t know anything about harming me back then, so I won’t take my anger out on you..." His expression became much more relaxed and he sighed. , "I don't want to involve us in the grievances of the previous generation. If you don't believe what I say about the specific truth, you can ask dad directly. I think he will tell you. In the future, my family will have to rely on you more..."
After saying that, Xiao Yu didn't care what Chen Shaojun thought and left.
Afterwards, Xiao Yu also paid attention to the follow-up. After seeing that Chen Shaojun went to find Chen's father to find out the truth, he was really relieved. If Chen Shaojun refused to go and was still stubborn and unwilling to believe him, he would not dare to leave Amber Mansion so easily.
The male protagonist in the original work is full of hatred, paranoid and crazy. He treats Chen's grandparents and Chen's father mercilessly, and the original protagonist is even more miserable.
Now that Xiao Yu was relieved after seeing that the male protagonist was no longer dissatisfied after learning the truth, and even came to him in private to apologize.
But even so, he will not really hand over the entire Amber Mansion to the male protagonist. Over the years, he has secretly cultivated people. Many people in Amber Mansion are his confidants in private development, and many of them have been taken under the male protagonist's command. In fact, it was him behind the scenes.
With this layer of protection, Xiao Yu finally felt relieved about the male protagonist who was being secretly monitored by him. He decided to leave the capital again after he and General Li accepted the emperor's summons.
After traveling through the desert, Xiao Yu suddenly came up with an interesting idea - he wanted to write a travel diary about his travels around the world, and then write a geography book based on the places he visited to provide a better understanding of the world. Chen Shaohua's name will be left to future generations.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
After waiting for nearly a month, the emperor finally summoned Xiao Yu.
When Xiao Yu saw the emperor of this world, he was a little surprised by his fate. He was actually a long-lived and prosperous emperor.
The emperor treated him quite kindly, and asked him carefully about his experience in the desert, and showed that he valued him very much. He also heard that he was already a civil servant, and he was admitted with first place, so he immediately became interested. He was happy to let him take the Jinshi examination and become an official in the court. It is really rare for a noble person to have a son who is so good at reading.
Xiao Yu refused: "Your Majesty, the student wants to travel around the world, draw a map of the entire world for Your Majesty, and write a geography book..."
He said it very beautifully. The emperor thought about his shock when he saw the detailed map of the desert presented by General Li. He thought that if there were such detailed maps everywhere in the world, he felt excited... He immediately agreed to Xiao Yu's offer. Upon request, he was also granted an honorary post on the spot, allowing him to ask local officials to cooperate when necessary.
Xiao Yu didn't expect such an unexpected surprise. After thanking the emperor in a good mood, he took the order and returned to Amber Mansion.
After Chen's father learned what had happened, although he was not happy that his son was running away again, he was very happy to think that his son was traveling around the world on an order.
Even though Mr. Chen and the old lady were reluctant to leave their eldest grandson, they could only suppress their reluctance and tell him to take good care of themselves when they heard that Xiao Yu was doing things according to orders.
In this way, Xiao Yu stayed in the capital for a few months to accompany his elders, then left the capital again and embarked on a journey of travel.
This time he would stay for a long time in every place he visited, and then someone would send the detailed map he drew to the emperor's imperial records in the capital.
While Xiao Yu was writing travel notes, he was also drawing maps and writing geography books. Because of the emperor's support, although the map and geography book were put away by the emperor, the travel notes alone were enough to make Xiao Yu famous.
More than ten years have passed, Xiao Yu has traveled almost the entire country, and he returned to the capital.
Xiao Yu, who is already thirty years old, looks nothing like a person who has been exposed to wind and rain all year round. His face is still handsome and his posture is still upright. He looks like a young man in his twenties, and he does not look old at all.
After he returned to Anbo Mansion, he met Chen Shaojun, who was several years younger than him but looked more like his brother with a beard. At this time, Chen's father was old. He retired and lived in the courtyard where Mr. Chen and his wife lived in their old age, leaving the main courtyard to Chen Shaojun who married and had children and inherited the title.
Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen, who loved their grandson very much, had passed away five years ago. Xiao Yan rushed back to see the two elders for the last time and mourned for a year before leaving the capital again.
Now when he comes back, Chen Shaojun's youngest son is more than three years old.
Xiao Yan looked at Chen Shaojun, his wife and his eldest son, and sighed in his heart, everything is different! Chen Shaojun's wife is not the heroine. His wife is a well-matched lady chosen by Mrs. Chen for him before her death. Over the years, the couple has lived a good life and has three children.
The heroine still fights with her family members at home as in the original plot, but the hero does have some good feelings for her after meeting her. However, after learning about her family affairs and the heroine's methods against her vicious stepmother, the hero actually avoids her, probably because he thinks of his mother and elder brother Chen Shaohua.
When Xiao Ying was away from home, he also learned about these from the people he arranged in the Anbo Mansion in the capital. He was surprised and had no other thoughts. After all, he didn't need to attack the heroine now.
Later, the hero honestly married a wife of equal status according to his grandmother's wishes, had children, inherited the title, entered the officialdom, and supported the Anbo Mansion.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
When Xiao Ying saw the much older father Chen, he felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't tell the feeling.
Father Chen was very happy to see his eldest son whom he hadn't seen for many years, especially when he saw that his son hadn't changed much.
But when people get old, they start to nag, asking him why he hasn't married and had children yet...
Xiao Ying smiled as always and said, "Haven't you met someone you like yet? Let's talk about it when you meet someone..."
But this time, Chen's father was not fooled by him. Chen's father glared angrily, "You say this every time you come back. You are over 30 years old. Do you want to marry when you are 70 or 80 years old?"
Xiao Ying was helpless: "Dad, I run all over the country. How can I have time to take care of the family? Isn't marrying a wife a living widow?"
Chen's father didn't listen: "Then what if you don't have a son? You are an unfilial son! How can I go down to see your grandfather without a son!"
There are three kinds of unfilial behavior, and the worst is to have no descendants. Xiao Ying had no way to deal with the stubborn thinking of the ancients. Just as he was thinking about how to convince Chen's father, he suddenly saw Chen Shaojun coming with his wife, and he had an idea in his mind.
He said to Chen Shaojun: "Second brother, big brother asks you for a favor. Please adopt your youngest son to big brother!"
Chen Shaojun's wife's face changed immediately. She gave birth to three children, two sons and one daughter. The youngest son was her dearest. How could she bear to adopt the youngest son out?
However, before she could say anything, Chen Shaojun readily agreed: "Okay!"
Seeing the ugly face of Chen Shaojun's wife, Xiao Yan smiled and comforted her: "I know that my sister-in-law is reluctant to give up her son, but I adopted this child just to have someone to inherit the incense after my death. Just change the family tree. The child will still be raised by my second brother and sister-in-law. I run around outside every day and have no time to raise my son. I will give him my title and property in the future!"
Although the title of Anbo Mansion was inherited by Chen Shaojun, Xiao Yan, as the eldest son, still got 70% of the property when the family property was divided. In addition, he was granted the title by the emperor for his many merits.
When Chen Shaojun's wife heard that her youngest son would not have to leave her and would inherit the title and property in the future, she was no longer reluctant.
Xiao Ying did not stay in the capital for long this time. He adopted a son for Chen Shaohua, then went to the palace to report to the emperor once, and left again.
This time he went directly overseas.
Ten years later, he came back from overseas, but brought back many precious overseas specialties and overseas maps.
When Xiao Ying showed the emperor the vast map of overseas, it immediately aroused the interest of this wise ruler in overseas lands.
From then on, Chen Shaohua's life was basically spent exploring overseas maps. The travel notes, maps and geography books he left behind became extremely precious and important documentary materials at that time and in later generations.
The travel notes he left behind are beautifully written and moving, and have great literary value. Not only does it contain various geographical knowledge, but it also contains the characteristics of the humanities and history era, which is an important material for later generations to study history.
Chen Shaohua was called a great writer, historian and geographer by later generations.
Since then, Chen Shaohua's name has been passed down through the ages.
