Four hundred and twentieth nine chapters do not wait for me (five)
When Chen Cang woke up, it was already before dinner. When he heard that Chen Zhou was back, he immediately sent someone to invite him.
Chenzhou received the news and rushed over.
"I'm finally back!" Chen Cang's face was filled with joy when he saw his younger brother.
Although he is not afraid of death, he is also afraid that he will not be at ease after death. This younger brother has made him worry for the rest of his life, but he is the elder brother after all. Even if he complains, he still hopes that he will be fine.
Now Xiaochang has a pair of filial children and daughters, the couple in the third house are affectionate and the fourth brother in the second house. What is the second house?
At this point, although Chenzhou suffered from his own consequences, his fortune was also difficult (jiǎn, pronunciation is simple, lame, difficult to walk; slow, unsuccessful).
Chen Zhou said ashamed: "It's me that I'm not good. I've been delayed on the road. I should have come back a few days earlier..."
"I'll go to the Ministry of Personnel tomorrow and ask someone to write to Shangshu Ma later. The fact of offering wine cannot be delayed..." Chen Cang said.
When Chen Zhou heard this, his face turned pale: "Is this urgent?"
Although he was unwilling to leave Beijing, after hearing the words of the Third Master and knowing that there was something about Mr. He, Chen Zhou refused to endure it.
Chen Cang nodded and said, "Urgent! The wine sacrificial period is empty for three months... If it weren't for waiting for you to come back, the dust would have been settled... I made a reservation earlier, so you should leave Beijing earlier... ”
Otherwise, if Chenzhou is about to leave, it is not good if he doesn't leave.
Only then did we meet each other and mention separation. Moreover, in Chen Cang's situation, it is now a separation of life and death.
Chen Zhou was confused: "Brother, it's almost the end of the year. Can I go to office again next year?"
Chen Cangfurrowed (cù pronunciation jealous, frowned, shrinked) brows and said, "What stupid words are you saying? Is this a joke?"
Chen Zhou lowered his head, revealing a little reluctant.
Chen Cang laughed in anger: "What kind of thing do you think? You are forty-nine this year, not nineteen, and you don't know which one is more important?"
Chen Zhou turned his head and said a little stubbornly: "I don't want to leave Beijing at this time..."
My parents were gone early, and there were only three relatives in this world, and the third master was separated by a layer.
Chen Cang frowned and said, "Brother Rui, the fourth brother is still young. In the future, you will be the care of your elders. You will be demoted back to Beijing. Your previous outing will be in vain... I have no other wishes, I just hope you can Going further, protect a wife and scholar..."
This was like explaining the funeral. Chen Zhou was so heartbroken that he endured it and nodded casually, saying, "The family is a family, filial to brothers and sisters-in-law, take care of the third brother and nephew, I am the one who is my nieces. of……"
Chen Cang's face was better, he waved his hand to send his maids down and whispered: "I didn't want you to leave the capital for no reason, but since the Empress Dowager died, Your Majesty's situation was not good. When the golden turtle fell, , This capital city must be messed up..."
Chen Zhou's face changed and he hurriedly said, "Since that's the case, shouldn't I stay in Beijing and take care of the family and the young?"
Chen Cang shook his head and said, "You stay in Beijing, it's a target, reminding people of the Shen family's relatives and old friends, and they may be forced to win over. If you follow him, you will lose your character. If you don't follow him, you will put yourself in danger with your family... Only Only when you are outside can you avoid being affected and protect yourself... The third brother and Rui Geer are left, a juren who has not yet entered the officialdom, and a young student, who is closed at home, will no longer take the Shen family seriously..."
Chen Cang said calmly, but Chen Zhou was thrilling and his expression changed drastically: "Even if... the name of the Eastern Palace was decided early, would it be so dangerous?"
"One day, the emperor and another day... The three elders have been in power for a long time, and they are not one or two who want to make progress..." Chen Cang said.
Chen Zhou then realized that his elder brother arranged for him to go to Nanjing to avoid disaster. He went there hesitated and nodded, "I'll listen to my elder brother..."
The two brothers talked, and the third master and Shen Rui received news. Knowing that Chen Cang had woken up, he came over.
Both uncle and nephew tacitly did not mention the news that the palace envoy came to the door. Xu arranged for the kitchen to welcome Chenzhou.
When he finished dinner and came out of the main courtyard, Chen Zhou said to Xu privately: "Sister-in-law, let Brother Rui write a thank-you note on behalf of Brother?"
The news that the Imperial Doctor sent over can be hidden from Chen Cang, but the king's kindness is ahead, and the Shen family must be grateful and cry. This is the right thing to do.
The news of the imperial physician envoy arrived at the imperial court. Regardless of whether the position of Minister of Justice could be removed or not, the emperor always had to think about "give kindness". Chen Zhou hoped that his nephew's name could be sent directly to the imperial court, "remind" that the emperor Shen's family still had a wife and a child who needed togive kindness.
Xu hesitated for a moment and said, "Since the second uncle is back, these things should be the second uncle come forward, but now it is time for the court to recommend it, so let Brother Rui write it..."
Otherwise, if Chen Zhou gave a memorial to the emperor for his behalf and the emperor was enthusiastic and left Chen Zhou in Beijing to give me kindness, it would be a "by chance".

Maozhai looked at his son who had lost weight after looking at his dusty son. Mrs. Mao felt so distressed that she pulled her son's arm and looked up and down. Seeing that although her son was tired of his face, his eyes were bright, he looked calmer. After a little, he still complained: "You are so bold. You ride a horse to Beijing along the way. At this time, the cold wind is so cold that you will suffer..."
Mao Cheng had already returned from the yamen, sat by the kang, looking at his son's clothes and clothes, and said with great relief, "I finally went back in vain. It's great, very good..."
Mao Chi set out to return to his hometown in Kunshan after the Mid-Autumn Festival in the 15th year of Hongzhi. In the 16th year of Hongzhi, he won the "little three yuan" in a row. This year, he directly participated in the provincial examination and won 61st in the provincial examination in the Nanzhili province.
In total, there were 135 scholars in Nanzhili, and these 61 were not up or down, which could only be considered medium, which hit Mao Chi, who had achieved a "little three yuan" in the boy test, and was greatly hit.
Mao Chi said with shame: "It's because his writing skills are limited. Although my father did not pick Jie Yuan back then, he was the Five Classics Principles..."
"Hmph, how old are you? I still wonder if you are 'Great'? When I was in the village, I was about to become a year... If you can wait for another ten years to come, you can still get Jingkui..." Mao Cheng was very pleased, but he didn't want him to be proud, so he snorted.
What is Nanzhili? How many talented men in the world have failed here on the road to the imperial examination? It is Mao Cheng himself, although he won the top scorer in the spring exam, he failed the provincial examination twice in his early years.
Seeing that her husband was about to scold her son again, Mrs. Mao hurriedly stood up and said, "I have arrived at home only at the age of 100. I haven't had to wash up yet. If the master wants to scold people, he has to wait..."
From Nanjing to Beijing for 2,000 miles, Maochi traveled north by land, and he had to travel a hundred miles a day. He was tired and dirty, so he went back to his room to wash away.
Seeing that his son was gone, Mrs. Mao complained a little, "The master passed the juren back then, and then I visited the same year. The teacher was serious and lively for more than half a month. Poor Chi'er, because of the master's letter, he only passed the Luming Banquet.
, I hurried north... "
Mao Cheng glanced at his wife and said, "Would it be better to have a hard time, or should I marry my wife three years later? I made it clear to Baisui in the letter that he could come back in a hurry, which shows that he was willing to marry soon..."
After hearing her husband's words, Mrs. Mao kept silent.
The son is nineteen years old the next year, so Mrs. Mao naturally hopes that her daughter-in-law will enter as soon as possible. Mao Chi is the only son of the couple, and she only gets this son after giving birth to several daughters. Now the couple is also forty years old.
The people who are in Wu have long wanted to hold their grandson.
"Then please help Uncle Wang to ask tomorrow?" Mrs. Mao said.
Mao Cheng said: "We are marrying a wife, not a daughter, so why are we reserved? I sent someone to send Brother Chi to post tomorrow morning. After falling into the yamen, I will go there in person..."
If we really want to marry before the New Year, we will have to start now. Mrs. Mao had no objection and just whispered: "I just hope that the in-laws can recover as soon as possible..."
Even if you don’t recover, you have to last for three or two months. Not only will the bride come in, but it will be said that her grandson will also become pregnant.
The next day, Mao Chi came to the Shen family with his father's post in his hand.
Shen Rui received the news and was so busy that he would greet him.
Although scholars value their promises, there are many people in this world who are treacherous of their faith. Mao Cheng can urge his son to return early, and Mao Chi can return to Beijing immediately after passing the imperial examination. This can all show that the Mao family and son are in the marriage between Mao and Shen families.
Pay attention to.
This is Yu Jie'er's husband's family in the future. Shen Rui is naturally very grateful to them if they can value the Shen family. However, he was also nervous. The imperial physician envoy said clearly that Shen Cang's body was just ten months old.
During this time, it may not be too late to organize Yu Jie'er's marriage before.
"Congratulations to Brother Shi for winning the osmanthus in the Chan Palace!" Shen Rui bowed to his hands when he saw Mao Chi.
Mao Chi quickly waved his hand and said, "It's barely acclaimed on the list, Hengyun should not laugh at me..."
Shen Rui said: "It's finally a success. It's boring for Brother Shi to care about anything else..."
Mao Chi realized it later and remembered that Shen Ruishiji had no end. He was afraid that he would feel unhappy and said in a different way: "I haven't been in the capital for a long time. I should go to pay my respects to Uncle Shi, and Aunt Shi..."
Shen Rui nodded and said, "A few days ago, the Nanzhili Township Examination Record was reported to Beijing. My father and mother also mentioned their deceased brother..."
Shen Rui first led Mao Chi to the living room, and then sent the servant to the main room to pass the message.
After a while, the servant came back and said, "Master, the wife heard that Master Mao is coming, so she asked the second brother to bring people over..."
Shen Rui and Mao Chi got up and moved to the main room.
Yu Jie'er was following Xu. When she heard that Mao was coming, she wanted to avoid him immediately, but was kept by Xu: "The elders are all here, what's the matter with each other? Mao'er is also very proud, but only ten
At the age of eight, he is already a juren…”
Just like Shen Rui was worried, Xu was both relieved and worried about Mao’s return sooner or later.
However, Shen Cang was very pleased and said to Xu: "Since Mao Chi comes back, Mr. Mao will come to the door... The matter of Sister Yu has been arranged..."
Although Yu Jie'er was determined to meet her future husband, she saw her elders mentioning the marriage event, which was not something she could hear, so she hurriedly avoided her side. However, she was not ashamed as she bit her teeth lightly and her face was full of her face.
concern.
Yu Jie'er knew the news that the imperial physician sent over, and she became more and more worried about Chen Cang and Xu. She said in front of Xu that she didn't want to marry, but it was not a false statement, but a heartfelt statement.
But the fiancé is the only son and her in-laws are old. The Mao family has long been looking forward to the bride's entry, and Yu Jie'er has long heard clearly from Mrs. Mao's words...
