Chapter 109 The Host (3)
The housekeeper Zhao Qing held the invitation in his hand and stood outside the study, hesitating. This was the invitation sent by someone from the clan house. The eldest wife of the second wife visited her relatives and invited her family to the clan house tomorrow to invite her family members to the clan house. The house was at a banquet. This post was delivered in the morning. The grandson of the gatekeeper, Lao Li, was full moon and went home to have a drink. The servant didn't know the importance of it, so the post was delayed.
Until he saw Zhao Qing, the servant remembered this and gave the post to the butler.
Unexpectedly, when Juren Chen was about to go to the yamen, the housekeeper was unable to cross the master and directly gave the post to Lao An, so he waited for Juren Chen to come back.
Just when he learned that his master had returned, the housekeeper handed the post to the study, he caught up with Juren Chen and Zheng. The housekeeper heard it and immediately avoided it.
The matter of Mr. Chen privately accepting Zhang Sijie can be hidden from others, but Zhao Qing, the housekeeper.
After being a housekeeper for many years, the front yard is in his eyes.
Now looking at this posture, the butler knew that it was "the story of the east window" and how could he dare to wade into this muddy water.
After avoiding it for half a day, seeing that it was almost dusk, the housekeeper remembered this invitation and could not drag it down anymore, so he had to bite the bullet and come to the study again.
After walking around the entrance of the study for a cup of tea, he saw Chunyue coming out of the east wing with a bit of worry on his face.
The housekeeper coughed lightly and walked forward and said, "What are you doing?"
Chunyue was blessed with blessings, and could not hide her worries: "I was tilted on the couch and felt a headache. I looked so angry that I was not allowed to invite the doctor to see it."
When Zheng and Juren Chen were talking in the afternoon, they did not leave their maids in front of him. Chunyue, Dongyue and Zheng's maid Xiaoli were waiting in the yard. It was not until Juren Chen fought and alarmed the outside that everyone dared to come. Looking forward, Chunyue only knew that the master always called Zheng a "poisonous wife", but Zheng looked like he was unrepentant. He didn't know why the husband and concubine turned against each other.
Later, Chen Jin and Zhang Lao'an came one after another, and their maids were also sent out.
After everyone left one after another, Chunyue and Dongyue came to serve the monk Chen.
In the east wing, Juren Chen was in a complicated mood while lying on the bed. When he knew that Zheng was angered at that moment, he felt very distressed. The couple had a happy night of love. He had been having sex with Zhang Sijie for three nights and wanted to have a deep love. Sihai was lying, but when he thought of a delicate little lady who made an appointment with her for life and was willing to serve him in different ways, his heart hurt.
However, he did not deny it. When he knew that Zheng had sold the Zhang sisters and refused to tell them whereabouts, he felt relieved. Otherwise, he would not just scold Zheng and ask whether the Zhang sisters would be in the future. After that, no one was sent out to search.
When he was obsessed with Sister Zhang Si's youthful and tenderness, Chen Juren was not afraid of it, but the man was flirting with and sometimes he didn't care about anything.
Rather than saying that he hated Zheng's selling people, it would be better to say that he hated Zheng's dare to tell Chen Jin about this, and revealed his scandal in front of his son, and did not leave him as my father at all. He has always been filial and guarded. Chen Jin, who was polite, is like a stubborn donkey today, dares to protect Zheng and be hard on himself.
In addition to resentment, Chen Juren also felt a little depressed. When his son grew up and he was old, the mother and son were so unscrupulous.
Hearing the movement outside, Juren Chen turned over and sat up from the couch, stroked his face with both hands, got up and walked to the outside room, and said coldly: "Is Zhao Qing? Haven't you come in yet?"
"It's a villain." The housekeeper responded and came in, holding the invitation in both hands and said, "Master, Zongfang sent someone to send the invitation. The eldest wife of the second wife returned to her hometown to visit her relatives. Tomorrow, she would host a banquet for relatives in Zongfang."
Chen Juren was upset, but when he heard the "Second Housewife's Big Lady" he was stunned: "Second Housewife's Big Lady is back to visit her relatives, when did this happen?"
In order to report this, the housekeeper went out to inquire in the afternoon and said, "I heard that I was in Songjiang the day before yesterday. Yesterday I went to the prefect's office to visit the prefect's wife, and today I went to each room to send invitations."
Juren Chen answered the post and saw that the time was tomorrow afternoon. He said dissatisfied: "What is the rule? The female family treats her not lunch, but lunch, but lunch?
As he said that, he looked out the window again, snorted, and said, "What does it mean to send someone to send an invitation at this time?"
Seeing that he had a dark face, the housekeeper naturally would not say that the post was delayed by the gatekeeper for half a day and was held in his sleeve for half a day, so he remained silent.
When Chen Juren saw the words "family" on the post, he thought of Chen Jin and felt his heart furious. He threw the post on the desk and ordered: "You go to the clan room to reply in person, which means I'm the day. I took my second brother to the banquet. I also took the opportunity to inquire about why the eldest wife of the second wife suddenly came to Songjiang."
The housekeeper responded and left. Chen Juren stood in front of the window, feeling lonely.
The second house master is not a few years older than him and is already a minister; but he accomplished nothing and did not even do a good job in the family. It's so sad.
In the west of the city, there is an inn.
In the second floor suite, the wine and food on the Eight Immortals table were already cold. Zheng and Chen Jin and his son sat at the table, silent.
After a while, Chen Jin raised his head, his eyes full of pain and said, "What's Er Niang's decision to do? Didn't your son say that, just leave everything to his son?"
"Brother just need to study hard and be a good person. How can I bear to let you get dirty with such dirty things?" Zheng sighed and said, "If you must give someone a bad person, I will do it. I can do it for you. That's all."
"Second Mother..." Chen Jin choked and tears fell: "Why do you have to do this... Why do you have to force yourself..."
Zheng did not cry, but smiled a little: "Good brother, don't cry, you should be happy for me. A precious concubine is also a concubine. I am a businessman. Only by leaving the Shen family can we be a human being. .In the future, you don’t have to call me second mother again, you can change your words and call me mother..."
Chen Jin only raised his heart like a knife and knelt on Zheng's knees. The seventeen-year-old boy cried like a child: "Mom...Mom... Is there anything wrong with my son... Why bother with my son Don't even want it? If my mother doesn't want to stay at home, her son will go to the village outside the city to live. He doesn't even want his son..."
Zheng looked at her son, feeling like a needle. She was born from ten months of pregnancy, and the flesh fell from her body. Seeing him growing up from such a small group, her son couldn't bear to leave her, so how could she give up But she knew that the new wife was about to enter the house. In order for Chen Jin to be not subject to the inner house in the future, it would be best for her to leave at this time. Even if her son said she was kinship, she would have less biological mother and mother-in-law, and the marriage would be smoother.
She reached out, gently stroked Chen Jin's head, and said softly: "Good brother, you have grown up, don't be a childlike person again..."
Chen Jin raised his head and cried, "If my mother wants to leave, I will take my son with me..."
Zheng paused his hand and smiled bitterly: "You are a child of the Shen family, and the Shen family is your root. Where can you survive without the root?"
Chen Jin wanted to say something more, Zheng said solemnly: "I am also a forty person. Do you have to wait for the newcomer to enter the door to establish rules? What is the concubine? I am a daughter, and I have to save the mistress. I have to make a bed and fold a quilt, I have to serve and wash, I have to wait for three meals to serve the eldest lady. I love peace. I don’t go to her and I have to be upset. I have to do it in two ways. Who knows that the newcomer has a very tough temper, and you just need to follow the rules. I If the rules are stricter, I will have to be punished by them at this age... Then, even if you can't see them, what can I do? Although you are my biological child, I remember now In the name of the eldest lady, where is the right to speak for me? Or do you expect me to be jealous of the seventeen or eight-year-old lady and let the master support me?"
Speaking of this, she paused and said, "Okay, I am the only brother of your uncle. I have been beaten to be an official since I was a rank of an official, and I have not been able to see you for more than ten years. Now, while I can still move, I want to see your uncle too. …” After saying that, he had already softened his words: “It’s not that I won’t come back after I’m going there. I’ll wait for a year or two and stay there, so I’ll still have to come back. Then I will follow what you said, go to you The placement of the village under his name has also been a wife-in-law."
Even if Chen Jin couldn't bear to leave, he would not keep his biological mother wronged for his reluctance.
It’s just that Zheng said it was easy. Going to Shanxi to visit Zheng Xiaowei, an official, but how easy is it for a woman to go out?
Chen Jin thought for a while and said, "Where will my son send his mother to see his uncle?"
Zheng frowned and said, "It takes half a year to make trouble. You will take part in the provincial examination next year. How can you delay it? If you are willing, please recite your books with all your heart. After the provincial examination, get up early and leave for Beijing. You can, I took a detour to Shanxi. I could still borrow the light of my elder brother and follow me to the capital to see it."
Chen Jin listened to the front, but when he heard it, he felt full of anticipation: "What mother said is true? If my son passed the provincial examination next year, will he really follow his son to Beijing?"
Zheng smiled and said, "Why do you want to coax your elder brother? You just take care of your elder brother for the exam. If your elder brother is on the list, your mother will follow your elder brother to serve as the old Fengjun; if your elder brother fails, you will accompany you to the next exam in the capital."
Chen Jin felt extremely desperate, so he was so painful. Seeing that the mother and son had hope for each other, he became more energetic and nodded vigorously.
At this moment, neither mother nor son mentioned what would happen in the future, and what would happen in the future between Juren and Zhang Lao'an...
Shen family, cross-age hospital.
After dinner, Shen Rui took the lights early and sat in the study to draw the remaining half set of boxing. After taking the gelatin and cotton rope, he bound the boxing broaches. Shen Rui went to organize the notes again, and they were scattered. There are seven or eight volumes of notes. After sorting out these, Shen Rui picked up a pen and wrote a text message, mentioning that something happened at home tomorrow, the Old Testament was cancelled, and the boxing guide was presented to Dong Shuang for trial. A box of new books is used as a journey of Dong Shuang's return home. The mountains are high and the road is far away. I will meet again in the boudoir in the spring of the future.
As soon as I finished tidying up the things, I heard a female voice outside saying, "Are you here, brother? The master sent me a maid to pass the message..."
Shen Rui picked out the curtain and saw a maid standing in the yard, standing with a lamp.
Shen Rui said: "What are the instructions for the master?"
It was Chunyue who came here. Because I saw the changes in the study in the past few days, I had not been able to show off my previous life. When I saw Shen Rui coming out, I respectfully blessed my body: "The master asked me to come to my second brother at noon tomorrow. I will go home at noon tomorrow.
