The reception banquet of the clan house will be dispersed until dusk.
Juren Chen was already drunk, with heavy eyelids and unsteady walking. He was helped by Chen Jin to get on the carriage.
If a person feels happy when he is happy, is he considered a "double happiness"?
After the carriage left the clan room, Chen Juren slowly opened his eyes, looked at Chen Jin and said, "How sure are you sure about the provincial examination in this year?"
Chen Jin heard this and was silent for a while and said, "If I talk about the Four Books, my son only felt that he had learned it thoroughly... But the examination room was unpredictable, and my son didn't know what the specific result could be..."
Chen Juren also came through the provincial examination, so he didn't know how fierce the competition was. Especially in Jiangnan, the literary style has always been popular, and there are many people studying, making it even more difficult to pursue a career.
"The relationship has been revealed. Brother Rui is still young now, and your brothers have not had much time together before. When you arrive in Beijing in the future, you brothers must get along well." After that, Juren Chen closed his eyes again Then, then
If Chen Jin had been unable to enter Beijing for ten years and eight years, he would have to think of another way.
Chen Jin was confused and wanted to ask why he agreed to follow Shen Rui, but he swallowed it again when he said something.
What benefits can Shen Rui bring to the fourth house if he doesn’t leave his inheritance and stays at home? Perhaps in the eyes of his elders, it is a lucky thing for Shen Rui to bring the fourth house to the most prominent second house in the clan.
Could it be that no one except him thinks of Sun?
Sun married into a 4th house for thirty years and was a "virtuous woman" who had been for so many years. Now he can't even enjoy the sacrifice of his own son...
Chen Jin was wrong. Zhang Lao'an frowned and was muttering to Sun in his heart.
The second wife, how could the eldest wife choose Shen Rui? They couldn't know the Sun family's background, that is, they guessed the origin of the Sun family wrongly
Zhang Lao'an only felt his scalp numb, and he really thought about his grandson who was far away in the capital. She was the eldest daughter of her mother's family, and married into the fourth wife of the Shen family, so she naturally attached more importance to her descendants.
Before, he had just misunderstood the Sun family and thought that Shen Rui was the root of the disaster, so he felt disgusted and could not get close to him. Now that he knew that there might be misunderstandings in this, Zhang Lao'an was very regretful.
When he heard that Chen Juren and his son came back, Zhang Laoan immediately sent someone to invite Chen Juren.
When Chen Juren saw the wind after drinking, he felt a headache.
However, as soon as Zhang Lao'an met, he asked in a slight manner: "Has the second wife mentioned the matter of inheritance? Brother Jue is fine, he is the youngest son of the clan, so he will succeed; Brother Rui is different , He is the fourth wife, how can he adopt others? In that case, the fourth wife will have a broken incense?”
Seeing that the old lady was not ready for a bowl of sober soup, she kept nagging when she came up. She was very impatient and rubbed her temples and said, "Why did my mother's mind change in a while? When Brother Rui didn't come to Beijing a few years ago, Mom Are you still looking forward to Brother Rui going to the second wife to be his heir? You also said a few days ago that today, what I want is done, why have you changed your mind again?"
Zhang Laoan was speechless when he was choked. After a while, he said with a stern face: "Aren't you afraid that others would stab the backbone before, but now are you willing?"
Chen Juren nodded and said, "This is a good thing that no one else can hope for. Why don't you want to do it? The fourth house has only this little family background. He Wuniang will come in tomorrow. In the future, the branches and leaves will spread. Brother Rui can separate the property of different brothers. , I can still get a second-hand property, this is a good thing."
Zhang Laoan frowned and said, "If you have a stepmother, you have a stepfather. Just for the sake of your stepmother, you will have a stepmother's son. You are so cruel. Don't you care about your flesh and blood?"
Chen Juren was angry when he was said and said angrily: "I don't care about my flesh and blood? What's wrong with Brother Rui? Lao Anren was embarrassed to say that he arranged Brother Rui in a remote yard back then, and no one was allowed to give him the Which one is Brother Rui having? Is it too late for Lao An to be Grandmother Ci now?"
Zhang Lao'an was so angry that he shivered all over and stared at Chen Juren and said, "Are you blaming me? Who is spoiling concubines and destroying the rules of the family? Now even Zheng doesn't care about you, and he would rather return home than return. Continue to stay in the Shen family, this is just a waste of money.”
The thing that Juren Chen hated the most this year was Zheng's departure.
The concubine who had originally relied on him actually broke out loudly. What's the matter?
Although no one laughed at Chen Juren on this matter in public, Chen Juren thought that Zheng's charm was still there, and he felt that the top of his head was about to change color.
Zheng didn't even care about Chen Jin's biological flesh and blood, and was determined to leave the Shen family. Is it just to go back to his parents' home to see his younger siblings and nephews' faces? Maybe he had his own plans.
Chen Juren has shit in his heart, but he looks like shit when he sees others, and he even has suspicion about Chen Jin.
"It's not that the good grandson taught by Lao Anren to instigate Zheng's family to leave. In the final analysis, it's just a complaint that I didn't support Zheng's family... The evil seed is the evil seed, and the desires are unsatisfied. How can the legitimate and illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate illegitimate …" Chen Juren snorted coldly and snorted. Then, then
Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Lao An had already shouted: "Shut up and I'm really filling too much yellow soup. You're talking about everything... It's a good news to Brother Jin's ears. Do you still want this father-son relationship?"
Chen Juren sneered: "I don't understand what Lao An said. I am his son, why can't I scold him? Is it because he is a young student and has a bright future? I still have to be a good person now. Can he do it? If he is the real eldest son, I will not say anything. He is just a young woman born in a illegitimate family. I am still alive, so it is not his turn to support the door."
When Zhang Laoan saw that Chen Juren was full of alcohol, he became more and more crooked as he spoke, and he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
Outside the door, Chen Jin held a bowl of sobering soup, turned around and left with an expression...
Capital city, sunken house, three bedrooms.
The third master was holding a house drawing and spread it out in front of the third wife with a smile.
The third wife leaned over and saw the new paper. The house painted on it was similar to the ones that the third master had brought back, and there were a few different places. The house, moon gate, screen wall and so on were painted on it. Small condensed image
"Is this a new drawing drawn by the master?" asked the third wife.
The third master smiled and shook his head and said, "It was not what I painted, it was painted by Brother Bao... Construction started in the front of the east house, only the back garden is here. I went to ask my sister-in-law for instructions, but my sister-in-law said that the family was busy and she didn't care about it. Let's discuss this…”
Upon hearing this, the third wife said, "But is there any news from the Ministry of Personnel?"
Although this year is the year of "Beijing Inspection", in fact, the various political achievements of Beijing officials are recorded every year, and you only need to check them in the booklet.
The promoted officials and the dismissed officials did not wait until the "Beijing Inspection" was completed and they were appointed and removed together.
Since February, Beijing officials have been promoted and declined with the beginning of the "Beijing Inspection".
Whether it is from qualifications or political achievements, the master has reached his or her age and should be promoted this year. However, the premise is that someone has to free up the gap, otherwise there will be no gaps in the capital, so he or she will be released.
The master has passed the year of knowing his destiny, and everyone in the second room naturally does not want him to leave him out.
Besides, the highest rank of civil servants in the local area is only the second rank, while the Minister of Rites and the Censor of the Left and the Censor of the Left and Duke are the second rank.
The third master said, "Today my sister-in-law mentioned that the Ministry of Justice seemed to have found some inappropriate parts a few days ago, and it seems that the Secretariat and the two ministers should have something wrong."
Even if the third wife is an inner wife, she can marry into the second wife for many years and knows some things in the officialdom.
Like the Ministry of Justice, it is not uncommon for the chief officer to be thrown into a trap during the "Beijing Inspection" year.
In addition to the country's important weapons, the Ministry of Personnel and Ministry of Revenue, other officials, soldiers, punishments and laborers, every year when the "Beijing Inspection" period, the chief official was dismissed, and there was a precedent. If they did not move, how could the people behind them move.
What's more?
If the front moves, you can follow the next one, which is related to the future of many people from top to bottom.
As for the position of the Minister of Personnel and the Minister of Revenue, there are naturally some people who are concerned about it. If the four Ministers behind him do not want to be defeated, they can only grit their teeth and run hard in front of them.
However, under normal circumstances, the two important positions of Minister of Personnel and Minister of Revenue are mostly held by cabinet ministers, and ordinary people cannot shake it.
The third wife breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that there is news, but the Ministry of Justice is too far away from home. In the future, the eldest brother will have to go around half of the capital when he goes to the yamen..."
The Ministry of Justice is not in Zhengyang Gate like other departments, but in Tongdali Temple and the Censorate is in Xicheng.
Among the officials of the six ministries, even if the ranks are the same, they are divided into orders at the court meeting. For example, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, among the twelve ministers of the six ministries, the ranking is only behind the two ministers of the Ministry of Personnel.
If the master really enters the Ministry of Justice, he will rank fifth among the six ministers, only ahead of the Minister of Works. However, the third rank to the second rank is a major obstacle in the officialdom. As long as he can be promoted, he will be promoted to the second rank.
, it can also benefit the descendants of the family...
Nine Ru Curie, study room.
Shen Jue looked at Shen Rui and was eager to try his best.
Shen Rui gave him a blank look and said, "Unless you promise to go out with a hat and cover your face tightly, it will be useless to beg me."
Shen Jue said bitterly: "I'm not a big girl, I'm going out with a hat and I'll make people laugh and die."
His face was scabbed and fell at the end of the first month of the year, with light pink marks underneath.
Xu hired an imperial physician and found a beauty care prescription that flowed out of the palace, and made pearl ointment. He asked people to stare at Shen Jue every day to remove scars for him.
As the weather gets warmer and the sun gets more and more poisonous, Xu says he doesn't allow Shen Jue to go out again.
After such a month and a half of maintenance, the scars on Shen Jue's face faded a lot, but he couldn't hold it in.
Shen Rui said: "Being laughed at a few times is better than being laughed at by others for a lifetime. If your uncle doesn't stop you, you dare to do whatever you want? If you really want to fall scars, it's not a joke."
Shen Jue picked up a hand mirror, frowned and looked at it, "Isn't this all good?"
Shen Rui said: "There is another way, that is, you don't have to continue to clean up this face and let these marks keep it. When you go out to meet people in the future, remember to apply powder..."
Shen Jue was stunned when he heard this, then reacted and said with a giggle: "Really, even Tu Fan wants to come out tomorrow, let's take me out with me, I'll wear a veil..."
The third master gives them a day off every ten days, and tomorrow is the day off.
Xu will take Shen Rui to the temple outside the city to worship Buddha, which is an external saying. In fact, Xu will take Shen Rui to the cemetery of Sun Taiye tomorrow.
Grandpa Sun celebrates his birthday in these few days...
