Four hundred and seventieth chapters brothers together (2)
Why didn't the capital city Zhu Chen not know about the news that Chen Jin and Chen Hong and his wife got off the ship? There was only one reason: After two days of rest in Tianjin Port, Chen Hong and his wife did not return to the capital city, but hired a merchant ship and set off again on the water route. Songjiang went. However, it was because of the merchant ship that they were delayed when passing the checkpoint, which made them get further and further away from the sinking ship.
Although Chen Hong was sick, he was the leader of the family. At this time, he was worried about his children and grandchildren and forced himself to breathe, and the symptoms of seasickness were much less. However, Guo's side seemed strong, but he was a kind mother, less than a day. Songjiang, I can't feel at ease for a day, and I see the slightest decline.
Chen Jin saw it and couldn't help but think of his biological mother, Zheng, and his heart was turbulent and he walked to Class A. Although there was a house in the capital, Zheng refused to slander his son because of his identity as a concubine. He was willing to move back to the capital, but he was still in charge of the brothers of Baoding Mansion. Although Chen Jin was worried, he was helpless. This time there was something wrong with Songjiang. Chen Jin left Beijing in a hurry and forgot to send someone to Baoding to deliver a letter. He had a few houses in the same five rooms. Compared to me, my filial piety seems to be a little shallow.
Thinking of this, Chen Jin was a little stunned. Of course, he was different from them. Although he was born in a illegitimate family, he had two mothers, his legitimate mother and his biological mother. Now he was registered under the name of his legitimate mother. What about that year? His memory after enlightenment was clearer. Most of them are the impression of the biological mother's earnest teachings; before the enlightenment, I rode a Trojan horse and played with Chen Quan in the yard in front of the main room, next to it was the jokes of Sun and Guo.
When did it change? Is it because my brother was born in the legitimate place, or did I hear the legitimate son and the illegitimate son after entering school, or did my uncle first pass the imperial examination and then pass the same Jinshi, and my biological mother's back became more and more straight. What about me back then? I really didn't Do you mind the identity of a concubine's son, really not jealous of the legitimate brother? My mother died of illness and was sad, so I was relieved. She even looked at the sick legitimate brother, but she looked down at her heart. .
At this moment, Chen Jin couldn't help but blush his eyes. He could no longer deceive himself. He pushed all the mistakes of that year on his father and felt that he was completely innocent. Only by comparing the true love between husband and wife in the five-bedroom house, can he know the fourth bedroom. The ridiculous mistakes that came out of the past.
Guo happened to come up to get some breath. Seeing that Chen Jin looked wrong, he said, "Is this Brother Xinrui? With your brother of the six clans here, don't worry."
She had disliked Chen Jin because of Zheng's reasons, but in the past few days, only Chen Jin was there, taking care of her inside and outside. She had to admit that even if Chen Jin sometimes seemed less sincere, she could not find anything in her life. , my old couple has indeed been taken care of by him these days.
Chen Jin said embarrassedly: "I am not worried about my second brother, but I remembered when I was a child. My mother was still there, and my third brother and I have not yet entered school. I was very troubled, which made my mother and aunt worry."
Guo narrowed his eyes, his expression was a little dazed, and he fell into distant memories.
There are dozens of sisters-in-law in the clan, and the one Guo admires the most is Sun. It is not that Sun is so amazing, but that kind of complacent and calm attitude, and the kind of kindness and kindness that is kind and kind and generous. Kindness is not something that ordinary women can do. After being married for several years without children, Sun did not take away his son and rob the eldest son of the concubine. After having a biological child, he was not afraid to suppress the eldest son of the concubine. It should be delayed Shi Yan, you should teach. If not, Guo would not hate Chen Yuan and Zheng. He was deeply disgusted with Chen Jin's behavior of "obscene wolf" who ignored the kindness of his mother and kept close to his biological mother.
Seeing that Chen Jin regretted his behavior back then, Guo felt more relieved and sighed: "Since you know the difficulty of your mother, I will take care of Brother Rui more in the future. Your mother has gone, and the only thing that I can't rest assured is You brothers.”
Chen Jin said seriously: "No need for the aunt's instructions, my nephew only has Brother Rui, who should fulfill his responsibilities as his elder brother."
Guo clarified his life in his heart and said, "They are almost in Songjiang, and I don't know what's going on now?"
Chen Jin comforted: "We have arrived in just a few days. I can't say that the time has been done. What I should have done with my sixth brother, don't worry, aunt." He said this, but the fist in his sleeve was clenched, and on the merchant ship The news is not as convenient as the official ship. Although there are a few rumors, they are all in the east and west, and they are not accurate. Chen Jin dared to tell Chen Hong and his wife about the news that is not light or heavy, and he would kill them. The killing of those was hidden. Although some news sounded exaggerated and unreliable, the real and false also hid the news that Songjiang Prefecture was indeed robbed by Japanese pirates.

Songjiang Wharf, Shen Rui walked to the ground and his footsteps were a little weak. Because he was riding a fast boat, he arrived in Songjiang in less than a month. It was because the boat was fast, so it was not as stable as the slow boats. Even Shen Rui and others were all green. In my prime, I was shaken to eat and sleep well in the end. I felt drowsy every day, and until I stepped onto the ground, I habitually felt that the ground was a little shaken.
Chen Li looked at the swordsman not far away and looked back at the dock. Susong is a major grain-producing mansion and has the task of transporting "white grain" to the capital. Therefore, the dock is repaired quite magnificently and can accommodate ten at the same time. There have been loading and unloading several large ships, and there have been patrol handles for the garrison. They can go to the place but there are not as many people as there are now, nor are they solemn. The bustling docks in the past are now deserted, with only a few ships parked at the docks.
Chen Quan and Shen Rui also noticed something strange on the wharf. Chen Quan felt heavy in his heart, and he became more worried about his brother and was as if he was returning home.
Shen Rui couldn't help but look at the patrol officers on and off the civilian boat, thinking about something.
Seeing this, Chen Li said, "What did Brother Rui think of?"
Shen Rui said: "Although there are no signs of fighting on the pier, if the 'Japanese pirates' come ashore to rob, this is the best place."
"Huh? Why did Brother Rui think so? This is not the seaside. If the Japanese pirates get ashore here, they have to pass through Jiangkou. There is a thousand households stationed there." Chen Quan listened and said in surprise.
Shen Rui said: "If the garrison is useful, there will be no such thing. There are garrisons outside Songjiang Prefecture."
Chen Quan was still a little unaware. Chen Li sent the housekeeper who rented a car and horse back. The clan brothers got in and the group went to the city.
The housekeeper was riding a horse and said, "Master, the villain asked, "The Japanese pirates came ashore on May 29th. I always heard that there were five big ships, four or five hundred thieves, sent people to drug them first, which fascinated them. The side wharf took turns to the general and his twenty-seven men, and then quietly entered the city, looting many large households, 55 people were killed, 134 people were injured, and 19 soldiers and 19 runners were killed. People plundered eighty-five women and children.”
Although it is not as good as the rumors, there are thousands of people who are moving, but now the peace is now, and more than 200 casualties and civilians are also a shocking case. The brothers of the clan looked at each other, and their faces were pale. The Japanese pirates came ashore for the sake of plunder, and the gentry was rich. Naturally, the first choice is the Shen family. The Shen family is a large family in Songjiang, and the five-bedroom house is the richest one. No matter how you think about it, it is hard to escape.
On the way that followed, the clan brothers were silent.
When he arrived at the city gate, Shen Rui lifted up the curtain and looked at the city gate. Unlike the pier, the Songjiang Prefecture Gate was burned. Even though it had been more than a month, the walls and ground near the city gate were all dark. , brought a little disgrace. The officials and the people entering and leaving the city gates no longer had the rich smiles they used to be, and they were a little anxious.
The official family came forward to show the documents. When the guards saw the official positions and names above, they did not meet the officials' respect in routine, but looked a little depressed and angry.
Shen Rui saw it and secretly exclaimed.
Since the documents were met, the city gate guards let the carriage go directly to Shenjiafang.
Seeing that the shops passing by were no longer prosperous, either burned or smashed, the brothers of the clan could think of the tragic situation at that time and dared not take any luck.
Shen Li urged the carriage to go quickly, while Shen Quan's heart was raised to his throat, and he only cursed in his heart and sweared to hope for peace for his brother's family.
After two quarters of an hour, the carriage finally drove to Shenjiafang on the back street of the Fuyaya.
When the patriarch got off at the gate of the clan leader's house, he looked at the intact door and breathed a sigh of relief. However, the door was closed. It was not until the butler came forward to knock on the door that the doorman looked out and looked at it with a little nervous look on his face. careful.
The doorman is not old. Chen Li and Chen Jin have been away from Songjiang for several years, so they don’t know each other. They just looked at Chen Quan and looked familiar and asked in a low voice: “Is the one who comes here?”
Chen Quan nodded and said, "I heard about the incident in Songjiang. My second brother Rui and I followed my sixth clan brother south and came to Songjiang today to visit the clan leader and uncle. I'll bother to report."
The doorman was full of excitement and hurriedly pushed open the door: "It's been here. The master has been waiting long ago. Please come in quickly, some uncles, please come in!" While welcoming everyone in, he ordered the servant to pass the message inside.
The servant ran to pass the message like a flying man, and several people followed the doorman to the living room.
When we were about to arrive in the living room, we saw Chen Haizhu tremblingly coming over.
Seeing Chen Hai's gray hair, the clan brothers were shocked. Although Chen Hai was over 60 years old, he had always been pampered. Even though he was the head of the clan, he could leave most common affairs to his second son Chen Jun to take care of everything. I don’t like to worry and pay attention to maintenance the most. In the past few years, I looked like I was only in my forties, but now I have become an old man.
The three of them came forward to greet him, and Chen Hai didn't care about Chen Quan. Shen Rui and the other two held Chen Li's hand and burst into tears: "I finally brought Liu Langpan back!" They were excited and couldn't stand their body. .
Chen Li hurriedly helped Chen Hai and sat down, and said, "But there are people in the tribe who are injured or killed?"
Since I was doing this, I only hoped for the safety of Dingkou. As for foreign wealth, I didn’t care about it.
Chen Hai beat his chest and cried loudly: "It hurts so much! Good grandson, my good grandson!"
The diligent mind trembled and he hurriedly said, "Uncle, what's going on?"
Chen Hai cried, "Damn Japanese pirates, Brother Dong asked them to rob them!"
