Yang Zhongyan had seen Zhang Hui's Jinyiwei dress. Due to the Jinyiwei's power, he was naturally polite to Zhang Hui. He Taizhi only knew that he was a child of the Duke's Mansion and a relative of Shou Ge, but he did not feel afraid, but instead made a statement directly. Dissatisfaction: "Since Brother Shou got the news, why didn't he come?"
Zhang Hui looked at Chen Jue's coffin and remembered the past three years ago, his mind was a little confused. After hearing He Taizhi's words, he didn't react for a moment.
Yang Zhongyan had already pulled He Taizhi's arm and whispered: "Zhong'an..."
Shen Rui and Zhang Hui were not familiar with each other for the second time. Even if the guest and the host greeted each other, they could only say Brother Shou
Shen Rui just pretended not to know Brother Shou's identity and followed He Taizhi's words: "I haven't seen Brother Shou for some days. Why did he bother the adults here today?"
Zhang Hui looked at He Taizhi, and saw that he was still angry, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
This young master from the He Xueshu family is really ignorant and fearless. Are you blaming the prince?
"Ge Shou had a serious illness two months ago. After recovering from the illness, his elders at home were strict and it was not cheap to come out, so he asked me to come over." Zhang Hui said.
Shen Rui "heard" of Brother Shou's illness two months ago, and later he also told He Taizhi.
When He Taizhi thought of this, he reduced his complaints and couldn't help but feel sad: "I forgot about this. Fortunately, Brother Shou has been fine. I didn't get any news before, otherwise I should go and explore him..."
Yang Zhongyan considered Shou Ge's age, and combined with Zhang Hui's identity in front of him, an unlikely guess came to his mind.
Zhang Hui asked about gifts in front of Shou Ge, but in addition to the funeral ceremony, there are also sacrifices and incense candles. The sacrifices are good, and they are common; the incense candles are exquisite and look good.
No matter what Brother Shou thought, Zhang Hui could prepare so well, and there was no intention of vagueness, and Shen Rui also appreciated it.
When Zhang Hui finished the sacrifice in front of Shen Jueling, Shen Rui led him to the east room for tea.
At this moment, Chen Quan and Qiao Yongshan came back from the East Courtyard to visit the third master.
Chen Quan had met Zhang Hui. He knew his identity as the King Yiwei and the grandson of the Duke's Mansion, so he brought him a restrained person when he met. Qiao Yongshan didn't know Zhang Hui's identity. He heard that he was coming to worship others on behalf of others, and he was not dressed as a slave, so he thought he was just a gangster in the city. Liu, but looking at the seat rankings of the people in the room and the respect of Yang Zhongyan and Chen Quan, I realized that the difference was different.
When Zhang Hui sat there, everyone was restrained. Shen Rui was so angry that he had no intention of clinging to Zhang Hui, so there was a little distraction in the room.
Zhang Hui talked to Shen Rui without hesitation, and his eyes were also paying attention to the teenagers in the room.
Although he had never had a face covering with everyone before meeting the Gao family, he had heard of the names of the young men and had found out clearly.
Although he doesn't think much of the literati's sourness in his bones, the teenagers in front of him are indeed successful. If he is not in good condition at home or lacks his own talent, even if he has a youthful friendship with the East Palace, it will be two years later. The smoke disappeared; the children of such officials and officials were successful, and once they passed the imperial examination, they would be able to achieve a Jinshi. With the old friendship between the king and the ministers, their future would be golden, no less than that of those of them.
Yang Zhongyan, the little fat man, was too lively, and was curious and inquiry in fear; he was polite and distant in manner, which was in line with the reaction of ordinary literati to the Jinyiwei; although He Taizhi had fame and fortune, his words and deeds were not mature, but his seven emotions were above him. The victory is to be open-minded; the young man in the Qiao family was confused, with a bit of honesty and cautious
In addition, Shen Rui became more and more taciturn because of his loss of his brother, each of the boys in front of him had a personality, but there were no sinister and cunning people.
The emperor turned a blind eye to the "friendship" outside the East Palace, probably because these teenagers are quite good-looking.
Zhang Hui was born into a top noble family in the Ming Dynasty. He grew up watching intrigues since childhood. No matter what he thinks, he is profitable. He thinks that these teenagers have a great future, but their attitude is much more enthusiastic.
He also had a baby face and looked harmless. After a while, everyone forgot his identity as the Jinyiwei.
Needless to say, He Taizhi and Yang Zhongyan were innocent and the other was close to each other. After a few words, they changed their words according to Zhang Hui's words and called each other brothers.
Even the hegemony is much gentler, and he should not be prejudiced. The meritorious children joining the Jinyiwei are a reward for meritorious families. They are all rich young men, and they are well-educated when they are young, so they can be as arrogant as the legendary heroes. Is the insidious Jinyiwei the same?
Qiao Yongshan was curious about Zhang Hui's identity, but he was not very familiar with everyone, so he honestly became an audience.
When Zhang Hui said goodbye, Shen Rui personally sent it out again. Qiao Yongshan couldn't help but ask Chen Quan: "Brother Quan, which is the visitor? Why do we all call Dabin, also known as 'Sir,'"
Chen Quandao: "He is the eldest grandson of the British Duke's Mansion, and now he serves in the Jinyiwei."
Qiao Yongshan couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this. For old people in the capital like the Qiao family, the British Duke's Mansion was a behemoth.
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there have been many Dukes and Bosses, but there are many people who have passed on to a hundred years later. Many of them have long been far away from the center even if they are still named Hou Bosses, but the British Duke's Mansion is step by step. He has risen and reproduced to this day, and is still a confidant of the emperor.
Although Empress Zhang’s mother’s family is now one family and two marquises, it is extremely glorious in the eyes of the people in the capital, but compared with the Duke of England’s mansion, it is nothing.
Qiao Yongshan has been paying attention to Zhang Hui just now, and found that Zhang Hui is okay to others, but he is more polite to Shen Rui. Is this the reason? Is it because Shen Rui is behind Shangshu Mansion? If that happens, Yang Zhongyan's identity is also bad. Not much.
Qiao Yongshan was puzzled and brought it out when he returned home.
When Master Qiao San saw this, he asked, "What's wrong? But the Shen family has neglected you?"
"No, it's my son's doubt." Qiao Yongshan shook his head quickly and said what happened during the day.
Master Qiao San listened and took a serious look on his face: "Who would say that he was worshiping on behalf of others, who did he do?
Qiao Yongshan said: "I heard that he is Brother Rui's good friend and I know Brother Jue, and I got the news. However, because of my poor health, I was sick a few days ago and was detained at home, so I asked my cousin to come."
Hearing the word "cousin", Master Qiao San's eyes showed disappointment and immediately lost the interest in inquiring.
The British Duke's Mansion has contacted many Duke's and Marquis' mansions and relatives. Now the old Duke is still alive, with many children and grandchildren, and there are more than a dozen in-laws. This must be because of a young man who has had a friendship with Shen Rui, so he cannot be filial to him for some reason. Just asking Zhang Hui to come forward to make face, it was just a child's trick.
"You have been in the Shen family for two days, but I heard people mention your aunt? Today is the fourth day, and a few days after the funeral, and the Shen family has not arranged to pick up your aunt?" Mr. Qiao San remembered this and asked. road.
Qiao Yongshan shook his head and said, "The child has never heard of it..." Speaking of this, he hesitated and said, "Dad, the third cousin seems to blame Brother Jue's death on his aunt. He has complained a lot about his aunt, and he has never concealed it in front of the child.
Mr. Qiao San said with a dark face: "I heard that he was talking nonsense that they were negligent and did not take good care of their nephews, and they still had the face to push them on your aunt? If you really want to talk about it, you should think that your aunt is pursuing them."
Qiao Yongshan was in Shen's house for two consecutive days, and naturally knew the original state of Chen Jue's sorrow.
Although Mr. Chen San is a little arrogant, he is not a lie. Even if his father rejects it, Qiao Yongshan is not sure about his aunt's behavior. Thinking of this, he is really shameless to go to the Shen family as if nothing had happened. He said, "Dad, there are no foreign visitors in the Shen family these days, and there is no need for help. The child wants to stay at home to read books tomorrow."
Mr. Qiao San frowned and said, "How can you read a book to death? Human relationships and worldly affairs are also true. Since Brother Jue was adopted by your aunt, he is your own cousin. You should do your best. How could you not go at that time?”
Qiao Yongshan sighed in his heart, and could only honestly change his words according to Master Qiao San's words.
When Chen Cangluoya returned, Xu also mentioned the matter of Qiao to her husband.
"Not to mention him in the south, my second aunt is in the middle of the capital. Do you need to send someone to pick her up?" Xu asked.
Chen Canghan said with a face: "I am so humble. Since she is 'sick, how can she continue to recuperate after she is in the funeral?'
"But there is the Qiao family?" Xu was a little hesitant.
It’s not that she is soft-hearted and does not remember the revenge of Qiao, nor is she afraid of the Qiao family. It’s just that Chen Jue is the son of a young man after all, and Qiao is his heir of his mother.
Qiao had gone to Zhuangzi to "rehabilitate" before, but there was no accurate information outside. Even if others had speculations, they were just speculations. When Chen Jue was in funeral, Qiao had not yet appeared, which made people think more and more. In addition, before being sent to Zhuangzi, There are some signs of madness. Although I haven't heard of her going crazy for half a year in the village, I really have to take it back, and it is hard to guarantee that I will cause any trouble.
Although Xu felt that he shouldn't have taken Qiao back, he thought about the reputation of the Shen family and had to ask her husband a question.
"According to Qiao's evil deeds, he did not receive a divorce letter, it was because she had given birth to Brother Luo. Even though she knew that she was a crazy woman, she still wanted her to come back and continue to harm her family? If the Qiao family is there, it is If you have something to say, the lady just pushes it on me. Brother Jue is in good health. If Qiao hadn't done evil last year, how could he have damaged his foundation? She didn't let her pay for Brother Jue's life. She was already kind-hearted, and she still wanted to come back to be a wife. Can't it be done?" Chen Cang's face was full of disgust when he mentioned Qiao.
He is now in charge of the Ministry of Justice, and his habit of looking at things is combined with the causes and consequences.
Chen Jue's sorrow, his relatives are negligent and take 30% of the mistakes. Chen Jue doesn't care about his health, and he still goes to school when he is sick, but he also takes 30% of the money. The remaining 40% will be "attributed" and Joe's
There is no medicine for regret in this matter, and no one can turn back time. However, the conversation between Qiao and the end, this master Chen Cang can still do it now.
Chen Jue has died, and the second wife has broken up again. Chen Cang and his wife know this, but no one mentioned this.
Although Qiao's selfish and confused behavior is annoying, the second master's behavior of indulging his wife first and then pushing her to her brother and sister-in-law also made Chen Cang and Xu dissatisfied.
Chen Cang has been the elder brother for most of his life and can afford the four words "elder brother is like a father". In his eyes, he was afraid that two brothers would be placed in front of him, and Xu's first wife would be left behind; these few After more years, Chen Cang also let go of his hands and feet.
The second master is in his fifth year, and the third master is in his thirties. He, the eldest brother, has taken care of the two brothers for half his life. Even if he gets underground, he can still give an explanation to his father.
For the rest of the days, these two brothers should also be independent.
Chen Cang didn't want to join the bloodline of his wife at all.
"I shouldn't have made any decisions for the second wife three years ago..." Chen Cang smiled bitterly: "This time I let my second brother do whatever he wants, he will bear it himself."
Xu sighed: "Uncle Second has been away from Beijing for more than two years, and I only hope that he can truly stand up this time...
Chenzhou will be in office next year, but there is no suitable lack in Beijing. Chen Cang is staring at Nanjing.
Jiangxi is a province, and it is also a high promotion when transferred to Nanjing Yamen. Although Nanjing Yamen is a place for elderly care, it is also a good place to maintain seniority.
Chen Cang'en decided not to care about the second master's affairs anymore, but the matter related to the second master's future, he couldn't really ignore it, and he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.
Chen Cang said in a muffled voice: "Everyone says that children are debt collectors from their parents. Although the second child is just my younger brother, he is also a debt collector. I owe him in my previous life..."
Eastern Palace, Warm Pavilion.
Brother Shou sat on the smoked cage, holding a cup of ginger tea in his hand.
Although the heavy snow outside the house stopped, it was colder than when the snow was set a few days ago because of melting ice. Brother Shou was a person who couldn't stay in the house. Even if his companions around him advised him, he would turn outside every day. lock up.
Shou Ge was most disgusted with ginger tea earlier, but today he took it with pleasure. He just tried a little harder to drink it. He frowned and took a long time to drink it.
Zhang Hui went to the Shen family to celebrate his sacrifice today. If Brother Shou wanted to know the news about the people outside the palace, he made a special trip to wait for Zhang Hui to come back.
"The incense candle was lit directly, and the sacrificial candle was hung... Although Shen Rui didn't say anything, he didn't leave His Highness in his words." Zhang Hui replied.
"Is the funeral busy? Did Shen Rui cry?" The thing was prepared by Brother Shou. Seeing that he gave the right gift, he was a little proud and curious.
Zhang Hui shook his head and said, "Today is not a good day, but I don't see any foreign guests. Only one relative of the Shen family and a few in-laws are there. Shen Rui didn't cry, but it didn't look good... I heard that he and Chen Jue were fighting. If you grow up, you will have to wait a few days before you can get excited..."
Brother Shou was concerned about the news outside. He listened to the brotherly love between Shen Rui and Chen Jue and said, "Clan relatives? In-law boy? But Chen Quan, He Taizhi and Yang Zhongyan and others?"
"There is another Qiao Liu, who is the family of the second wife of the Shen family..." Zhang Hui said.
When Brother Shou heard that he didn't know him, he threw him aside and asked about the other three people only.
Zhang Hui smiled and said, "Chen Quan and Yang Erlang are quite polite, but Erlang of the He family is annoyed and even scolds His Highness for not showing up after getting the news. I explained that he is better."
Shou Ge did not think it was offended, but instead felt that with his two years of friendship with Shen Rui and his friendship with other teenagers, it was really not good to not show up like this.
He stood up, walked around the ground for two rounds, and said, "He Taizhi should be angry, he should be friends, and he should be sent to Chen Jue for a ride..."
