Although the cold winter is not a good time to travel, since my father gave me instructions, Chen didn't care about these things. He was also angry and sent the housekeeper to prepare his luggage when he came out of the room. He took him to the living yard. Tell us about going to Beijing tomorrow.
Li Shi was surprised when he heard that Chen was going to go to Beijing at this time, but he didn't say much. He was ordered to report the funeral and apologize, but now the clan's house wants to arrange someone to go to Beijing, which must be for Chen Jue's aftermath. Although he still Without taking the initiative to resign, Zong Fang arranged for him to leave with Chen, which was suspected of driving people out of the way, and it was really rude, but Li Shi knew that it was not the time to care about this now.
Chen hurried back to the second house where he lived.
The second grandmother had already received the news. Although she had ordered her maid to prepare her husband's clothes, she didn't want her husband to leave home at this time and was anxious.
Seeing her husband come back, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Honey, why are you going to Beijing at this time? Master, the wife is sick now, how can she leave someone..."
"It was the master's order. The master asked me to pick up Brother Jue back..." Chen said.
When the second grandma heard this, she widened her eyes: "'Come on, how do you answer? Is this the master? "
He nodded and said, "That's what it means, the master wants Brother Jue to return to the clan."
"How could the second wife agree?" The second grandma said worriedly: "It will be the one who is in a dilemma at that time."
Within half a day, everyone knew about the master's incident of sending Chen Shangjing.
Grandma Ji also received the news. When she saw her husband, she asked: "It's almost the end of the New Year. The master is going to send his second uncle to Beijing. Is it too hasty... It's cold now, and I can still warm up after the New Year..."
Shen Ji frowned and said, "Since the master wants to make a fuss, let them go..."
Having said that, he was worried, so he sent someone to invite Shen over.
Chen had already arranged the accompanying staff and sent someone to the yamen to open a road guide. The carriage and other things were also prepared, just waiting for tomorrow to set off.
He heard that the sinking weapon sent someone to invite him, but he was impatient, but it was still over.
Shen Jie said straight to the point: "Since the master asked you to go there, you can go there. They are all clan relatives, and they should have gone on blind dates, but don't mention anything else... The master is sad now, and he can't figure it out, and he will live his own life. You know the severity..."
He frowned and said, "Brother, are you asking me to slander the master's orders?"
Shen Jie said with a dark face: "Are you just looking forward to the breaking of the clan and the second bedroom?"
Shen Zhengse said: "If the elders of the second house know the truth, they will be able to compassionate with the master's love for their son; if the elders of the second house are not incompatible with human nature and therefore become enemies with the clan family, then such tribes and relatives do not interact with each other."
"You?" Shen Ji was exposed by his father just now, and he was already angry. Now that he saw that his younger brother was disobedient, he was furious in his heart and cursed: "Put your shameful little abacus, you jumped up and down, urging the master to do it. What is the so-called "soul"? For the sake of money, you are shameless? In summer, you even flipped your brother's luggage. Now for the sake of industry, you have to make Brother Jue uneasy after his death. You are still Isn't it? If you want to pull Brother Jue out and get a share of your property, you're dreaming of it."
This scolding made Chen scream and was both embarrassed and angry. Although he didn't know about Xia Tian, he had indeed had little thoughts of shame; he was angry that he was sad about his brothers and feet, but was killed by Shen. All belong to selfishness.
Chen stood up suddenly, glared at Shen Ji and said, "That's how big brother looks at me?"
Shen Ji snorted coldly: "I've done it all, but I'm still afraid that people can't say it?"
Seeing that my brother was despicable and had no closeness and respect, I felt cold in my heart. As the second son, I served my parents and managed the family industry for more than ten years. I didn't expect my brother to appreciate it, but I didn't expect it to fall into this. The end.
The dark face also turned dark, and there was a sarcastic corner of his mouth: "It seems that the brother's brother's relationship with Brother Jue is the same. He had taken the initiative to mention Si Xiang before, but now he is worried that Brother Jue will return to the clan and start a new relationship. One room... It turns out that the eldest brother is willing to give up his son, not to be his descendant for Brother Jue, but to be his descendant for the Shangshu Mansion... It's a pity, my father doesn't allow it..."
Shenmao is a clan who is a child. Not to mention brothers of the same generation, even older uncles are more polite. After passing the Jinshi, the family members respect more. Now they are ridiculed by Shenmao, and Shenmao is furious. : "Don't think that if you fool your father, you can do whatever you want. As long as I am here, don't fiddle with those tricks."
Chen sneered: "Then I have to wait and see."
Shen Ji was so angry that his whole body was trembling. He glanced at him and turned around to go out.
The energy of sinking down the machine returned, but still remembered the interests and shouted: "Second, do you want to delay Xiaotong Ge'er's future?"
Chen turned around slowly, Chen Ji felt calm and snorted: "You have no intention of becoming an official, so you can naturally make trouble. Brother Tong will take the imperial examination in the future..."
Chen Qiao said with a lip and said, "Not to mention the second wife's grandfather's life, how old is Xiao Tong Ge'er? When Xiao Tong Ge'er can get out, he should retreat there; he only said that the eldest brother, the eldest uncle, is here, Xiao Tong Ge'er Are you still afraid that no one will be able to lift it?”
"..." Shen's weapon was blocked and couldn't speak, Shen had already picked up the curtain.
The two brothers parted in disagreement.
The next day, Chen Zao got up early and went to the room to say goodbye to his parents.
The eldest wife knew her husband's decision and did not say anything. She just told Chen to take care of herself when she went out and not let her parents care about her.
As for the master of the Zongfang, he wrote a letter to his second son and ordered: "No matter what he said there, he will bring your brother back... He said it was what I said, and I want to die before Reunion of flesh and blood…”
He was already in his sixties, and now he was indulging in the pain of losing his son, and he was even more aging. At first glance, he looked like he was in his twilight years.
Chen was sad and hurriedly said, "Dad, don't worry, when did your son have not done his best? I just wait until my younger brother comes home, all kinds of things are still complicated. Even if I want to tell you about my relatives, I have to start asking for someone, right? My brother is not familiar with these common affairs, so he must worry more about you, Dad, in order to be able to do everything right..."
After hearing this, the master of the Zongfang family was indeed very thoughtful and nodded, "Yes, you are not at home, I won't take care of Brother Jue's marriage, who will take care of..."
The marriage mentioned here is naturally a "ghost marriage". In order to prevent the children from being alone after their death, there is incense to serve them, and many people have held "ghost marriages".
After saying goodbye to his parents, Shen was relatively speechless when facing his brothers' sinking weapons.
The day was cloudy, covered by dark clouds, and the north wind was bleak.
Li Shi was sitting in the carriage, with the sound of wheels in his ears, but he sighed. Now that the clan house has rushed to Beijing, Chen has brought a lot of managers and servants, is he going to "suppose the crime"?
Nanchang, a sunken house.
As the letter from the capital reported his death, the originally relaxed and pleasant atmosphere in the sunken house immediately came to an abrupt end.
Chen Zhou did not vomit blood like the master of the Zongfang family, but he lost his son and was in a bad mood. He did not show off. He sent Shen Ling to sue for a few days off and locked himself in the study.
Although Chen Jue is not as good as Chen Luo, he is his biological son, but his father and son have already been together for two years. It would be fake to say that there is no love.
Even if he decided to let Chen Jue stay in the capital, Chen Zhou was also considering his future, and he didn't want to be a father and son farewell forever.
In addition to the pain, Chenzhou was also a little confused.
In the past few years, Chenzhou has experienced a lot without his brothers to help him. Although he is smart, he has been in the Hanlin Academy for more than 20 years and has not come to the place. Although he is now just an auxiliary official, he is also a sensible official. It was quite difficult. Fortunately, Chen Cang had thought carefully before and hired several staff members who needed to be useful and followed him, so he did not show his fear.
Chen Zhou was secretly ashamed, but he also focused on his errands and learned a lot of truths.
It was late at night and when he thought of the past, he also mocked himself for "no father is better than son", but he was a little unwilling to do so, but he still hoped that he could make some political achievements and not really become a mediocre person who his father called mediocre.
Unexpectedly, I became familiar with the work of the errands, and something like this happened to my family again.
The bloodline is cut off and there is no child to end. This is a great punishment for a man.
Chen Zhou was in a trance and remembered the four words "karma and effect".
Thirty years ago, Chen Zhou was angry and unable to understand things, and he could understand them as time passed.
If Grandma Sun had not saved him, his grandfather would have died at the hands of a water bandit on his way to Beijing, and would not have been able to marry and have children later, let alone descendants of his children. Such a life-saving grace is really willing to give up a son to go out as a son-in-law. What's nothing.
If it were the current Chenzhou, it would have done this step.
Grandpa Sun was not trembling, accepted calmly, and there was no surprise. Not to mention that the two families had a favor before, it was said that Grandpa Sun had only one only daughter and was rich in a dowry, so it was not difficult to find a decent son-in-law. All of them look down on merchants, but they really want to be successful in the officialdom, and there are a few who do not have the help of wealthy businessmen?
Grandpa Sun had to leave all his wealth to his daughter and son-in-law. If he really wanted to discuss it, the Shen family still took advantage.
He was a man of self-superiority and was very knowledgeable. He was young and arrogant. He only criticized Mr. Sun's humble origins and left all his kindness aside.
Being unfaithful, breaking the contract, retreating to advance, being aggressive.
Although he was honest and obedient in front of his father, he did not hide his impatience and despise when he apologized in front of Grandpa Sun.
Grandpa Sun looked so shocked and helpless at that time. Chen Zhou remembered it clearly, and he felt a sense of pleasure at that time. As for the warm scenes that were carried by Grandpa Sun on his shoulders and held in his arms when he was a child, he had already left behind his head. The remaining young people are proud and full of ambitions in their careers.
When Grandpa Sun quietly left Beijing, Chen Zhou was relieved until the bad news came later.
"Is this retribution?" Chen Zhou murmured to himself: "I was ungrateful in the past. I was sorry to Grand Master Sun. Now I ended up like Grand Master Sun..."
He had a knot in his heart, and died because Chen Luo fell off a horse, and Chen Jue died because of Fenghan. Thinking of Grand Master Sun's sudden death, he felt more and more that he had committed a sin.
A few days later, the second letter from home in the capital came over, mentioning the news that Qiao had caused Shen Rui to suffer a stroke and was paralyzed. Chen Zhou was not surprised. He talked about the letter from home and whispered to himself: "God is watching, who is it? Can't escape..."
