Chapter 212. The tree returns to its roots (2)
The waiter came up to deliver tea, saw Chen Zhu standing at the door of the guest room, and bowed and said, "This young man..."
Chen Zhu snorted lightly and pushed the door into the guest room.
Seeing Chen Zhu come in, the guest room suddenly became quiet. Shen Rui got up from his seat. Chen Jue took him a little reluctantly, but also got up.
Chen Zhu didn't even look at Shen Rui, and Chen Jue said to Chen Quan: "Brother Quan..."
Chen Quan nodded and said, "Fortunately, I met you, otherwise I don't know you are going back to Songjiang..."
Chen Zhu said: "It's a haste. Brother Quan San wants to bring a letter to his family?"
Chen Quan shook his head and said, "I won't take it anymore... My master and wife have gone to Beijing, and the second uncle of Suizhou are on the same journey. This time, Brother Sui Rui and Brother Jue came out to pick them up..."
Chen Yong saw Shen Rui and Chen Jue and two respects, but Chen Zhu was so arrogant and frowned and said, "Brother Jiu"
Seeing that he was annoyed, Chen Zhu looked at Shen Rui reluctantly, and Chen Jue said, "You two brothers are here too..."
"Brother Zhu Jiu..." Shen Rui saw the greeting lukewarmly.
Even if you don’t like it, you still have to keep the etiquette you should keep. Otherwise, if you fall into the eyes of others, the one who is rude will be yours.
Chen Jue obviously understood this and called out reluctantly.
Chen Zhu looked at Chen Jue's appearance, and it was a bit interesting. He raised his eyebrows and said, "You call me Brother Jiu, why should I call you? Brother Rui, Brother Jue has become the queen, and his parents have changed. , Shouldn't it be time to change your name?
His words and his sarcastic tone were very annoying.
Shen Rui's expression became a little cold, while Chen Jue laughed furiously and said, "What is my second brother and I named me in the future? There is no need for Brother Zhu Jiu to worry about it. After all, it's different whether we can meet again in the future. …”
When Chen Zhu heard this, he couldn't help but change his face.
Chen Jue, Chen Jue is in Beijing, and Chen Zhu returns to Songjiang. When everyone meets again, Chen Zhu goes to Beijing to take the examination of the Ministry of Rites. Is this a curse that he cannot take the initiative?
Chen Jue stopped looking at Chen Zhu and said to Chen Quan: "Brother Third, should we go to the dock to have a look..."
Chen Quan and Chen Zhu are just face-saving now. Since they visited Chen Yong, they had no intention of staying there, so they stood up and said, "It's time to go and see..."
Seeing this, Chen Yong stood up and said, "I should go over and welcome him..."
Chen Quan hurriedly said: "Uncle Yong Er, please stay. It's still hard to say when the official ship will arrive in Beijing... When the dock there, it's not too late for Uncle Yong Er to go there..."
Chen Yong knew the tact, but he didn't force himself, and said, "And remember to send someone to say..."
Chen Quan agreed, nodded with Chen Zhu, took Shen Rui and Chen Jue and left.
Chen Zhu had no place to move, and Chen Yong personally took it to the inn door. Seeing Chen Quan and others walking away, they turned back to the guest room.
"Uncle Second is an elder, why are you so kind to be so attentive?" Chen Zhu frowned.
Looking at Chen Zhu's face, Chen Yong thought about the letter he received the day before yesterday, and even the intention of teaching Chen Zhu was gone. He just rubbed his forehead and said, "I'm a little tired, fall down first and then tilt it. , Brother Jiu took his own leave." After that, he turned into the inner room.
The sinking beads were left in the local area, with a blue face and a white moment. He leaned on his feet and threw the door out.
In the inner room, Chen Yong opened his eyes and looked very ugly.
The day before yesterday, there were three letters from home, one written by the old man, one written by the fourth master, and the other written by Shen Ling.
Three letters of family are pieced together, and Chen Yong knows clearly the causes and consequences of the three houses' accidents.
In recent years, there have been waves between brothers. There have been frictions. Chen Yong persuaded the ones above and comforted the ones below, which made the three rooms not disperse.
He had always been worried that the third master would make a fuss. After all, the third master was a concubine and was separated from the other masters.
Unexpectedly, the purpose of this rebellion was the eldest master and the fourth master, two brothers.
Chen Yong had known that this family would not last for a few years, but because he did not want to make the old man angry, he was worried that his brother and sister-in-law would be together, so he broke up.
After all, he is not a saint, otherwise he would not have bought a private property like the third master or the fourth master.
Now that this is the case, Chen Yong felt a little embarrassed, and he felt heartbroken when he saw his brothers becoming enemies.
The brother, sister-in-law and grandchildren were all supported by their brothers, but they became ungrateful wolves.
The three families of the Shen family are rich, and the servants are like clouds. The little brother is the eldest grandson of the eldest family. He is surrounded by his mother. How could the maid leave? If no one gives instructions in private, they would dare to let the little brother play with a stick in his hand? He still watched him helplessly. Beat someone?
What I don’t have now is the small belly of the fourth wife, and the fourth master hates it like this; if the fifteenth brother is really gone, can this revenge be resolved?
The fifteenth brother is only two years old. How cruel should the person who does this game be able to do it?
Where is this a relative?
Thinking of this, Chen Yong closed his eyes and his heart began to harden.
The Chenhu couple had shallow eyes, and they were eager to separate the family, because they were concerned about the industries they bought after Gongzhong.
It is a delusion to want to take over or take over the big one... Even if he doesn't look at those, he will not be in vain...
On the pier, people were surging.
Although it is not the time for grain to enter Beijing now, there are many official ships and merchant ships traveling from south to north.
Various smells mixed in one place, which smelled very bad.
Shen Rui walked a few steps and stopped walking. Seeing a weeping willow tree by the river in the distance, he greeted Chen Jue, and Chen Quan and two went to cover the shade.
Chen Jue shook his fan hard and said, "The summer in this capital is too hot..."
Chen Quan wiped his sweat with a veil and said, "I think it's better than Songjiang. Now I'm outside, so I have no choice... If I'm in the house, at least there's ice... Songjiang, except for every day Take a bath twice more, but there is no way to reduce heat..."
Shen Rui said: "I don't know if Uncle Hong and Aunt Hong will adapt to the climate in Beijing... It's a bit of a headache at this time, but it's better than at the end of September. It's too cold to go to Beijing at that time..."
Before we got the news, several people talked about the days when the eldest son of the fifth house went to Beijing, and they guessed that they either came with Chenzhou or were with Chen Liu and others who went to Beijing for the exam.
With Chenzhou, it will not be too late to come to Beijing. After all, Chenzhou is an official and the days to take leave are limited; if the latter follows, you will have to wait until the provincial examination is over before you can set off in Beijing.
As the few people were talking, they saw more than a dozen riders coming from afar. The horse was wearing armor and embroidered with embroidered spring swords, which was dressed as the Jinyiwei.
"The noble man travels, the idle man forces him to retreat." Several Jinyiwei School shouted loudly, dispersing the pedestrians on the road.
Behind them was the yamen runner wearing round neck shirts who were cleaning the streets with clear water.
"It's so loud," Chen Jue said: "Where is this momentum that the vassal kings enter the capital?"
Shen Rui shook his head and said, "The Jinyiwei is the personal guard of the emperor. The vassal king should be the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the clan's office coming to Beijing..."
With the retreating crowd, the second housekeeper who had originally taken a few servants to the dock to wait for the official boat also retreated from the dock.
Seeing Shen Rui and others under the tree, the second housekeeper came over and reported, "Mr. Rui, Master Jue, Master Quan, Mr. Chang Guotai returned from visiting relatives, sent envoys to welcome him, and people were chased from the dock..."
Mrs. Changguo Tai, the mother-in-law of the saint, and the birth mother of the queen, Jin.
Always called "Madam" and that the husband is noble and the wife is prominent. If the mother is noble, the son is noble. For example, if the Jin family is not granted a title, the imperial decree should be the wife of the Duke of Changguo or the Taishi of the Duke of Shouning Hou, and the emperor is born. He was honored with his relatives and was granted the title of "Lady of Changguo" in the 11th year of Hongzhi. He followed his husband, Duke Luan of Changguo.
In addition to the title of "Madam Changguo Tai", Jin also stayed in the palace. It is not rare to send envoys to welcome him in the palace.
Where Shen Rui and the others are, there is still a distance from the official road, so there is no need to avoid it.
Chen Jue frowned and said, "It's their family, a relative of the foreigners, who is so powerful..."
Before he could speak, he was interrupted by Shen Rui: "Brother Jue is careful of his words."
Chen Jue muttered, "Just because Uncle Cang posted the edge of their house, the Shangshu almost disappeared..."
Because Chen Cang went to Jianchang Bo Mansion to "appoint" in the first month of the year, he was impeached by the censor after he opened the yamen. In March, when the yamen was pushed, he was criticized and almost missed the position of the Minister of Justice.
Shen Rui said: "The culprit is Shen Zhu, who caused trouble."
Civil officials look down on foreign relatives and nobles, but civil officials who can truly climb to a high position cannot offend the real power of foreign relatives and nobles.
In the accident in the first month of the year, Chen Cang could not bow his head in a noble way. He would gain a reputation in the scholars, and then there would be an enemy, which would make it difficult to make progress in the officialdom.
It is a small matter, but Chen Cang comes forward and becomes a small matter; if Chen Cang doesn't come forward, he will just sweep the faces of the Zhang brothers, and becomes a small matter.
Chen Cang has been in office for thirty years, so of course he knows which one is more important.
The Zhang family is not a nominal royal relative, the empress's mother's family, and the prince's foreign family. Not to mention that Chen Cang was only a third-rank official at that time, even if the cabinet ministers and the Zhang family were not good, it would be better if they met with each other?
Not far away, Mrs. Chang Guotai's full guard of ceremonial guards had slowly come.
Shen Rui and others also stopped talking and looked at the honor of Mrs. Chang Guotai.
In addition to the Jinyiwei, there were several middle-aged officials wearing red clothes, and another one was riding a horse and accompanying the Taima’s frame. He was in his early twenties and wearing a rash suit. This dress, at this age, should be the second son of the Jin family. , Jianchang Bo Zhang Yanling.
Even if the scholars and people on both sides of the official road did not need to kneel down to greet each other, they held their breath, fearing that they would accidentally bump into the noble person.
At this time, a young man suddenly came out of the crowd on one side and was about to approach the frame, but was stopped by the Jinyiwei who was accompanying him.
"Second uncle, grandmother..." the young man shouted loudly in a gorgeous dress.
Not only did the Jinyiwei who stopped him show hesitation, but even Shen Rui and Chen Jue, who stopped and looked into the distance, were shocked when they heard this sentence.
Isn’t the grandson of Mrs. Changguo’s wife and the nephew of Jianchangbao the Prince of the East Palace the prince?
Then I felt something was wrong. The prince of the East Palace seemed to be only in his teens. The young man looked like he was thirteen and fourteen years old.
The Jinyiwei, who had been hesitant, obviously also thought of this and stopped the young man again.
Because of the young man's blocking the road, Mrs. Chang Guotai's frame was still stopped.
Jianchang Bo Zhang Yanling rode his horse over and looked down at the boy condescendingly.
