When Chen Yunzhao passed away, most people in the village were sad. Although the old man had a bad temper, he was very popular.
Obviously he likes to criticize people when he sees them. If he thinks you are wrong, he will not care about his face and will be angry no matter what.
But it will make you convinced. Most of the young people in the village thank him. If Mr. Chen hadn't given him some advice, he might have gone astray.
If you think about it carefully, it's probably because of his sincerity. His words may not sound nice, but he is really doing it for your own good, and everyone can feel it.
Chen Yunzhao was old and grew up with the elders of many families in the village. His good friends from childhood had passed away long ago, so he regarded their children and grandchildren as his own descendants.
If a junior does something wrong, it's a good thing if he doesn't encounter him, but he will always teach him a lesson if he encounters him.
Some people may not be convinced at the time, but now that they think about it, they just feel moved.
Of course Chen Yunzhao's funeral must be handled well. Chen Mingyang said that everyone in the village would go wherever they are willing to go. If everyone can go and see him off, the old man must be very happy.
Chen Zhongqian was silent for a long time, still unable to accept that there is no such person as Third Grandpa in this world anymore, and he doesn't know what to say to him in the future.
But if it’s gone, it’s gone. Adults must have the courage to face it, otherwise the Third Grandpa will not feel at ease.
The day for the funeral had been planned, and after seven days, news from the capital was received the next day, asking him to take up his post immediately.
The place of employment is about three hundred miles away from home, which is actually not too far. It is actually better than I expected.
Chen Zhongqian said, "If an elder in the family dies, he has to wait for the funeral before taking up his post."
The person who came to deliver the message sneered coldly, "Tanhua Lang is really arrogant. Nowadays it is hard to find an official position. You have such a good place but don't know how to cherish it. Then go to Jiangzhou."
Jiangzhou is close to the frontier. The war is raging and the people are in dire straits, so it’s not a good place to go there.
"Let me ask you, are you really unwilling to take office immediately?"
Chen Zhongqian nodded, "My elder has passed away and the funeral has not yet arrived. How can I leave home at this time? Please allow me, sir."
The man smiled and said, "Okay, I will report the truth truthfully. Don't blame me."
No matter how much I ask, Chen Zhongqian refuses to leave home before the funeral. This is the last trip to see Grandpa Third, and he must not miss it.
Lin Huiyi also supported him. Anyway, it was just like that in their imagination. It didn't matter if they actually went.
If in a person's heart, his close relatives are not as important as his future, even if he gets temporary glory, his life will not be better.
Besides, they are a family, and she should support Chen Zhongqian's decision, as should the children.
The Chen family was having a funeral, but Yue Ye was about to leave to take office. He came to the Chen family and knew that Chen Zhongqian was sad, so he didn't say anything more.
When he arrived at Chen's house and offered a stick of incense, Chen Zhongqian sent him out and asked, "When are you leaving?"
"tomorrow."
Yue Ye always spoke with a playful smile, but today he couldn't smile at all.
After taking two steps, he turned back and said, "Zhong Qian, I know that you can't say anything reluctant to let go, but can you nod towards me and let me know that you also can't let go of my good brother?"
Chen Zhongqian said, "I can't bear to leave you. I hope we can each live freely and freely in our own worlds."
He actually said it.
Yue was also very moved and nodded, "Zhong Qian, can we meet again?"
Chen Zhongqian reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "Of course."
Seeing Yue Ye walking further and further away, Chen Zhongqian felt strangely uncomfortable. It seemed like just yesterday they had stayed up late reading together, but today they had to go their separate ways.
It turned out that I tried my best to move forward, but in the end it was just to say goodbye.
My great-great-grandfather has left, and so have my good brothers. The laughter and laughter of the past have finally become a memory.
From now on, I don’t know if I will get used to it without Yue nagging in my ears.
Chen Zhongda and Liu Zhaofei also had somewhere to go, probably with the help of Mr. Song. They were unwilling to spend money, so they had a good place to go.
Chen Zhongqian thought that Mr. Song probably helped him, otherwise the man wouldn't have said such things.
But now it seems that he can only live up to it.
Chen Zhongda also had to stay at home to wait for Chen Yunzhao's funeral, but he would soon become Mr. Song's son-in-law, so he was not embarrassed.
Liu Zhaofei was also about to take office immediately. After coming to Chen's house to say goodbye, he had to go back to prepare. The whole family was going, and he would not feel at ease if no one was left at home.
The place where Chen Zhongda was to take office was more than 200 miles away from his home, which he thought was very good.
But several other members of the Chen family didn't think so.
Yang was the most dissatisfied, "I thought I would be an official in the capital. Aren't these the sons-in-law of Mr. Futai? Why go to such a remote place? Didn't the in-laws spend some money to move around?"
Chen Zhongda said, "The world is unstable and corrupt officials are emerging. If it were not for Mr. Song's intimidation, people like us from small families would have been squeezed out. This is already very good."
Yang curled her lips and said, "Isn't it just to get some benefits when I get involved with the Song family? How can this be enough? At least you should be made a capital official."
"Mom, if that's the case, would it be fair to others?"
Yang didn't say anything, but what she was thinking was that it was none of my business whether it was fair or not, as long as my son got the benefit.
Chen Mingyi was not very satisfied either, but he knew that he could not offend Mr. Song at this time, so he did not say anything unpleasant.
Furthermore, Chen Yunzhao passed away two days ago and there has not been a funeral yet. This is a big deal now. It would be unseemly if there was a lot of noise at home.
As long as he spoke, Wu and Yang did not dare to say anything more, and the matter was settled.
After the funeral was completed, Chen Zhongqian also waited for the final result and was appointed as the magistrate of Yun'an County, Jiangzhou. That place was not close to home.
The road along the way is rugged, and it takes about ten days and a half to get there.
Chen Mingyi was quite concerned about where Chen Zhongqian would take office. After knowing the result, his attitude changed instantly.
"Zhongda will leave tomorrow, and there are many things waiting to be arranged at home, so I can't take care of you."
Chen Zhongqian nodded, "Grandpa doesn't need to worry."
Chen Mingyi said nothing and turned around to go home. In his opinion, Chen Zhongqian would never be able to turn around in that place.
There were constant wars at the border fortress, and it was so close and the people were in dire straits. How could the imperial court care about the lives of the people in a county?
There have been more and more conscriptions in recent years. In places close by, all the young and strong people are gone. Relying on a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, no matter how hard you work, how good can it be?
Once I go there, I'm afraid I'll never see him again in this lifetime. It's so dangerous there that it's hard to say whether we can save our lives.
In this case, there is no need for him to show his concern, it will be useless anyway.
