When Chen Zhongqian talked to Lin Yuxi about what happened in the capital, the focus was naturally on Chen Zhongda and Miss Song.
She asked curiously, "Is Miss Song really pretty?"
"I don't know, I didn't look carefully."
Lin Yuxi smiled and poked his chest, "If you think I am such a stingy person, it doesn't matter if you look at me."
"I just didn't look at it."
"Okay then." Lin Joy nodded, "What is Zhongda thinking?"
Chen Zhongqian said, "I don't know what he will choose. He seems to be unwilling to let his family control his life, but he can't be so direct. It all depends on his own wishes."
Lin Hexi said with a smile, "I'm a little curious. If Zhongda really gets married, I wonder how angry grandpa will be."
Chen Mingyi wanted to control everything in the family so much. Now that his grandson has become a Jinshi, but wants to escape from his control, what will happen to him?
Chen Zhongqian asked, "What do you think Zhongda should do?"
"It's very simple." She smiled, "If they are really in love, and the Song family really thinks highly of Zhongda, what about marrying him in? In an environment like the Chen family, would Mr. Song be willing to let his daughter marry in?"
"If Zhongda thinks that reputation is more important and doesn't want to be a son-in-law, then he and Miss Song will miss each other. It's just fate."
In the final analysis, what is more important to Chen Zhongda is that no one can make the decision for him.
Chen Mingyi likes to make decisions for others, but Chen Zhongda doesn't want to listen to him now.
Of course she felt that Chen Zhongda should leave the Chen family, but this was not her business, so she was just thinking about it in her mind.
The next day Chen Zhongqian went to talk to Chen Yunzhao and told him what he had seen along the way. The old man was very happy to hear it.
In the middle of the morning, Chen Zhongda also came, and Chen Yunzhao was very happy.
He was seriously ill, and thanks to Lin Yuxi's careful treatment, he was as energetic as he is now. He was thinking about Chen Zhongqian's scientific examination.
Hearing that Chen Zhongda also did well in the exam, he was of course even more happy, "Let Zhongda come in quickly, prepare meals for lunch, and let them eat here."
Mrs. Zhou smiled and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa, that's how we prepared it."
The old man smiled from ear to ear, and when he saw Chen Zhongda, he said, "I know your eldest brother is smart, but now you impress me too. You really shine on our family, great."
Chen Zhongda sat down aside, "Thanks to my elder brother for teaching me, I learned a lot, otherwise I wouldn't be able to achieve such results."
"Since we are brothers, we should help each other." After Chen Yunzhao said a few words, he coughed twice and started coughing again. Chen Zhongqian hurriedly brought him tea.
This is a medicinal tea prepared by Lin Xixi. It moistens the lungs and relieves cough. You will feel better after drinking it. It also adds a little ginseng slices to improve your Qi.
Chen Yunzhao said, "I am really useless now that I am old. Now that I see you two are capable, I am very happy. I can explain to your great-grandfather later."
Chen Zhongda said, "Grandpa Third Grandpa is in good spirits. You don't have to worry so much. When my eldest brother and I send officials, we will take you to see the post."
"That sounds good." Chen Yunzhao sighed, "I only went out when I was young, and then I have been in this world. Seeing you two brothers in high spirits, I also remembered that I was here in the past. Being young is really good.
.”
"But God treats people fairly. Everyone has a time when they are young and full of energy, and there are also times when they are old and realize their destiny. I was young, so what can't I accept now that I am old?"
The two brothers' eyes were filled with tears after hearing this. Chen Yunzhao's condition was different from two years ago. It was difficult to even go out of the house, so where could he go to see Renshang?
After leaving, I don't know when I will come back, and I don't know how much time the old man has left. I'm afraid I won't have much time together.
Chen Yunzhao said, "Zhongda, has your marriage been settled? What are your grandfather's plans?"
Chen Zhongda stood up and said, "I came today just to talk to my great-grandfather about my marriage. I have already decided to move into my sweetheart's home. Grandpa said that I ruined the family's reputation, but I know what I am doing, so I came here."
Please forgive me, Grandpa."
Chen Yunzhao patted the armrest lightly. Chen Zhongda thought he was unwilling and was about to explain. Unexpectedly, he said, "Okay, just know what you are doing. It is not easy to be sober in life. Now that you have thought about it,
Why should you care about what others think? I believe you are not a heartless person. Even if you marry into your family, you will not abandon the Chen family. This is enough."
The main reason is that Chen Mingyi is really not decent. If Chen Zhongda can't control his own marriage, he doesn't know what kind of woman he will marry.
Instead of being confused and unhappy every day, why not obey your own will, become a son-in-law, and marry the person you love? Isn't this a beautiful thing?
Chen Zhongda was so moved that he knelt down and said, "Thank you so much, Grandpa, for understanding Zhongda. Zhongda will never abandon the Chen family and repay the kindness of raising him in his own way."
Chen Yunzhao nodded. It was a good thing for Chen Zhongda to marry into his wife. In this way, it would be difficult for Chen Mingyi to interfere in his affairs. From now on, he could make his own decisions.
He can let the Chen family not worry about food and drink, and can do their own things boldly without being controlled by the Chen family. It is good to think about it this way.
The only question was whether the Yue family he chose was reliable. Chen Yunzhao no longer had the energy to ask these questions. Besides, he couldn't understand the outside world, so he chose to believe in Chen Zhongda's vision.
"Okay." Chen Yunzhao smiled, "You are all okay, so I feel at ease."
Lin Yuxi brought Xiaoduo over for lunch. Chen Yunzhao started to doze off halfway through the meal, so Chen Zhongwen pushed him back to sleep.
After eating, Chen Zhongda said, "Sister-in-law, is my great-grandfather in bad health?"
Lin Joy nodded, "Birth, old age, illness and death are common things in life. Grandpa has reached his age. He is trying hard to make everyone accept it, so everyone should not be so sad."
Chen Zhongda agreed, complaining in his heart why he didn't know how to come over to talk to his great-grandfather from time to time. He was only focused on his own fame. When he looked back, he saw that the old man had already become like this.
"I don't know when I will take office. I'm afraid it won't be easy to come back in the future." Chen Zhongda sighed and must come here more often these days.
Chen Zhongqian's family of three were walking home. He asked, "How long can my great-grandfather's body last?"
Lin Joy shook his head, "I don't know."
What I don't know means is that everyone is already hanging on for dear life. If something bad happened, they would be dead by now, so no one knows how long they can last.
Chen Zhongqian said, "These days I come here a lot to talk to him. In the past few years, I have been focusing on my studies, so I don't come here much."
"Yeah." Lin Yuxi felt quite uncomfortable. He was used to seeing separation between life and death, but when it came to him, he still couldn't control his emotions.
