He Taizhi knocked Chen Jue off his hand, rubbed his face, and said, "Cousin Jue, don't move if you are not polite."
"Haha" Chen Jue laughed so hard: "What's wrong with pinching you? You've been pinching less when you were young?"
He Taizhi had a tense face and said seriously: "I am no longer a child, so cousin Jue should respect it."
Chen Jueyuan wanted to joke with him twice, but when he saw him with a small face tense and looking like a little adult, he curled his lips: "I know, you are all children, you are not an ordinary child."
He Taizhi blinked, as if he was puzzled. Is this child a normal child still in the same way?
Seeing that Chen Jue was sour again, Shen Rui said in a different way: "Will we go there too if we are going to have a banquet tomorrow?"
Chen Jue nodded and said, "You have to go, the post says the family. Aunt Cang rarely comes to Songjiang, so he naturally meets the juniors of the clan. Anyway, what you are preparing is food, so you will go there after class in the school. It doesn't delay anything."
The two of them spoke without lowering their voices. After hearing this, Chen Qin, Chen Bao and others gathered around and talked about the party banquet tomorrow.
Guo Sheng and other relatives of relatives of foreign surnames are not related to this matter, but Xu is the highest-ranking imperial decree of the Shen family. Now that they are returning home, even their children of other relatives have heard of each other, and they all listen with their ears.
Although everyone knows that Xu's incident is mostly coming to choose his heirs when he goes south, and he is also curious, but He Taizhi is not easy to mention this, so he talks about it from the side.
Chen Qin said: "It's winter moon now, and it's rare for Uncle Cang to return home. Do you have to wait for the New Year's Eve festival to leave?"
He Taizhi shook his head and said, "How could it take so long? After my aunt's banquet tomorrow, she will almost have to go back to Suzhou."
Except for Shen Rui, who had already known about this, the others changed their faces.
Chen Bao hurriedly said, "How could it be so hasty? Why don't you stay for a few days?"
He Taizhi smiled and said, "If Cousin Bao is reluctant to give up his wishes, just follow us to Suzhou."
When Chen Bao heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, and then he dimmed again, grabbed the back of his head and said, "Teacher is going to prepare for the exam, where can I disturb you?"
He Taizhi rolled his eyes and said, "It's now the thirteenth year of Hongzhi. Last year's spring exam, the next exam will be in the next year, but there are still two years left. Even if you follow Suzhou, will you have to live for two years? ”
Chen Bao's chubby face immediately shines, but he still said with a little twist: "The teacher has not mentioned this matter. As a disciple, I am not good enough to follow with thick face.
He Taizhi patted his chest and said, "Pack to me. If my cousin Zhu doesn't speak, I will ask you to accompany me to Suzhou. The talented man in Suzhou is not only Zhu's cousin, but also the name of Tang Jieyuan in Suzhou. I know that he is a close friend of my cousin, with great talent and great calligraphy and painting."
A land of Zhili in Nanzhili only released a Jie Yuan in three years. Shilin paid attention to it, but it was just a matter of attention. However, Jie Yuan, who was unlucky like Tang Yin, took the lawsuit when he participated in the Ministry of Rites for the first time, and in addition to the Shi It is really rare to be a member of the country. In the past two years, Tang Yin’s Daming has already caught up with several top scholars from Nanzhili.
Although he was involved in the fraud case of the imperial examination, no one questioned that he would cheat. If he had to cheat when he had been saving Jieyuan to take the imperial examination, what should he do if he was a regular candidate?
Everyone just thinks that Tang Jieyuan is too unlucky, so why did he choose such a bad friend to join the Beijing and place him in another place? He is so involved, it is really a disaster.
Of course, the people in the Shilin people are concerned that he has not only his official status, but also his future is cut off, while ordinary people are willing to listen to some interesting stories about the wind and moon. This Tang Jieyuan not only lost his fame, but also heard that even Tang Madam disliked him. The couple divorced.
He brought his dowry and remarried another Suzhou Jinshi. When it comes to this matter, some despised Mrs. Tang and were unfaithful, while others envied the new Jinshi. So what if he was suppressed during the provincial examination? He was the one who was famous on the list in the last place.
Even Jie Yuan’s wife recognized him.
After all, Suzhou and Songjiang followed hundreds of miles, and the news that came here became more and more distorted, and Tang Yin was called a talented man, the most miserable person in ancient and modern times.
Seeing that He Taizhi mentioned Tang Yin, everyone became interested and started to inquire.
He Taizhi followed his aunt to the south and lived in Suzhou for a few days, but because Xu's parents' family were in Suzhou, most of the sisters were married to Suzhou, so they had to visit relatives and friends. He Taizhi met Tang Yin twice and came to him and said
Just say that, but obviously he highly praised Tang Yin, and the news he got from his cousin showed off in front of everyone.
"Tang Jieyuan passed the hospital examination at the age of 16, and was the head of the case that year. If it weren't for the death of his parents and relatives, and the filial piety was delayed, he wouldn't have been discussing for many years." Speaking of this, He Taizhi thought of his cousin, and seemed to have also been doing so because of the fact that he had also been unable to do so."
After missing several provincial examinations, Zhou Xiao missed several subjects and sighed: "That's true. If the Tang Jieyuan family did not die of illness, they would not have to take up their karma early, and the examination would not have to suffer such a great disaster."
Shen Huan said curiously: "Has Madam Tang really remarried?"
He Taizhi gritted his teeth and said, "Don't mention that villain, he is a close friend of Tang Jieyuan, but he doesn't remember the reason why he is a friend's wife and can't play tricks. He held a banquet and married Tang Lady as a house. I wish my cousin has already given me
He cut off his robe and broke off diplomatic relations, and the scholars in Suzhou were also ashamed to be with him."
Shen Gui said: "Since he dares to serve wine, he is obviously not afraid of offending others. I think so, if he passes the Jinshi, he has to choose an official position. He has to be in his sixties before returning home.
He Taizhi sneered: "This person is talented but not virtuous, and he can't grow up in the capital. Not one or two officials from Suzhou serve as officials in the capital. He was rampant for a while and was too proud. He was afraid that he would be beaten back to his original form in a short time."
Shen Rui looked at He Taiyi. This was obviously not something he could say. He must have heard adults talk about this.
However, the Jinshi was indeed inappropriate. Most of the old men in the officialdom took the imperial examinations and walked step by step, and several of them had never failed. After a Jinshi was frustrated in the imperial examination, he took his wife.
If he breaks his family, this violates the bottom line of literati fighting, it will definitely arouse everyone's desire to share the same hatred of the enemy. It would be strange if the outcome is better.
Even the Jinshi who passed the exam for more than ten years and twenty years can't stand the trouble, let alone Shen Yuan, a mere juren.
Shen Rui was a little curious, not knowing how Zheng would deal with Shen Juren's "absurdity". Before coming out in the morning, I sent Changshou to stare at the other side, not knowing how he was staring at him.
He thought that in order not to let Shen Jin be distracted, Zheng would not let Shen Jin know about the matter, so he had yesterday's remarks and wanted to urge Zheng to finish the matter.
Unexpectedly, before get out of class was over in the afternoon, Changshou rushed over, and Shen Rui realized that Shen Rui was really poor this time.
Changshou has been staring at Zheng since Shen Rui left in the morning. Although Shen Rui did not explain the specific reason, he told Changshou that he would let Zheng do it. If she had any inconveniences, she would secretly help.
Zheng went to the study to report to Juren Chen in the morning, and used the excuse to purchase winter clothes for Chen Jin. He left the Shen family and went directly to the prefecture to find Chen Jin.
The mother and son stayed in the teahouse in front of the Fuxue School for half an hour before coming out. I don’t know what he said, Chen Jin’s face looked ugly, and the mother and son seemed to have a dispute.
Next, Zheng went to Yinlou, Nanjie Street, bought two pairs of faces, and then returned to the Shen family.
At noon, when Juren Chen and Uncle Zhang made a contract in the yamen, Zheng took Zhang Sanjie and Zhang Sijie to the carriage and waited outside the yamen.
When Juren Chen and Uncle Zhang came out, Uncle Zhang went to his own house. The rest of the group went to Nancheng and entered a restaurant near the Yin Building where Zheng had gone before.
After lunch, Juren Chen went to the house first. Zheng took Zhang Sanjie and Zhang Sijie to the Yinlou.
Next, there was a change. When Zheng came out, there was only one person, and there was no one in Zhang Sanjie and Zhang Sijie.
Then, somehow, Zheng and Juren Chen started arguing in the study, and even Juren Chen took action. Chen Jin happened to help Zhang Lao'an come over and then stopped him.
Next, I believe in the scene. After Shen Rui came home from school, Hao's mother took the time to go to the cross-age room to tell the story secretly.
Because Uncle Zhang came here today, the temporary premium was temporarily unanimous. Juren Chen had promised to give him 600 taels, but he also agreed with Uncle Zhang yesterday. However, Uncle Zhang was beaten by his son last night. My wife encouraged her and changed her words to ask for 1,000 taels of silver today.
Juren Shen gritted his teeth and agreed to come out with 600 taels of silver, as if he had already cut his flesh. Now that Uncle Zhang is backfiring again, he naturally furious.
On one side is his own son and on the other side is his own younger brother. Zhang Lao'an only had two ways to comfort him.
If it weren't for Sister Zhang's eyes staring at him, Juren Chen would have left with Buddha's sleeves long ago.
Therefore, until Zheng came, Uncle Zhang and Juren Chen were in a stalemate in Lao'an's room.
Zheng received the news and gave Zhang Sanjie and Zhang Sijie as a gift. When he saw this scene, he smiled and said, "These two granddaughters are like flowers and jade. I can't blame my uncle and great-grandson. It's just that our master wants to accept it. As a daughter, this uncle always mentions money, but it is a big deal."
After all, I have been with Chen Juren for twenty years, and I can speak in Chen Juren’s heart in one sentence.
In the view of Juren Shen, Zhang Sanjie and Zhang Sijie were delayed because they had no dowry and marriage. They were kind-hearted and wanted to accept them as their daughters and handle marriages for them. The Zhang family only had to be grateful and should be satisfied with how much money they got. Where can there be a premium? reason.
Besides, Zhang Sanjie and Zhang Sijie couldn’t fight for money, so they added 400 taels when they opened their mouths?
Uncle Zhang knew that Zheng was the second wife of Chen Juren. When Chen Jin saw her being kind, he said bitterly: "You can't have two sisters who come into the Shen family to eat and drink delicious food, and everyone else starves to death. Now the family really can't get along. , I still hope that my third sister and fourth sister will hire you as a daughter. In the future, their sisters are indeed no match for the Zhang family..."
Zheng said: "I don't want to..."
Uncle Zhang hurriedly said, "Yes, yes... If life is better, they won't delay their sisters until now. The third sister is already eighteen miles away.
