Chapter 70: The Chen Family
The entire inner courtyard of the palace, on both sides of the wide gold brick road, even the path is washed clean. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The golden spring, the green calyx, the red plum, and the different shades of cyclamen, the white narcissus, and the phoenix letter are either resting on the high platform or placed between the mountains and rocks, and are placed in a staggered manner.
The palace people changed into new clothes, and the palace maids who came and went looked festively happy, all wearing a long armor with a pink background and a moon-white pinched tooth cotton skirt with a vermilion bead pattern.
The air was clear but comfortable, Murong Wei breathed happily the cold fragrance of plum, took Murong Hui's soft little hand, and walked on the road leading to Fengluan Palace.
The fragrance of flowers was refreshing, and she straightened the garnet-red cloak for her sister, took a deep breath, and looked at the surrounding scenery almost greedily, feeling that every day of rebirth was so beautiful.
Chen Rujun's family arrived in Beijing on the 29th of the lunar month, slightly dressed up, washed off the dust, and came to face the saint first on Chinese New Year's Eve.
Chen Rujun instructed his subordinates to settle their luggage first, and he took his wife and children, as well as his eldest daughter-in-law, to enter the palace directly.
The Chen family had an old house in Guishu Hutong back then, and when Chen's mother died, the family left Beijing in a hurry, so they hung up the house and sold it very cheaply.
The holy decree to return to Beijing was issued in a hurry, and Chen Rujun had no time to buy an official residence. Emperor Chongming explained to his brother-in-law in a private letter that they would be temporarily placed in the Hubu Shilang Mansion that year.
Shilang's Mansion is a small house close to the three, the lintel is not big, not far from Guishu Hutong, but far from the scenery of Guishu Hutong.
Emperor Chongming entered the capital at the beginning of that year, and he was not familiar with the place, so Chen Rujun bought this house for him, and originally thought that he would marry and then change to a larger mansion in a few years.
I didn't think that Emperor Chongming did not marry a wife, but the second princess, and lived directly in the princess's mansion, and the Shilang Mansion became idle.
In a hurry, there was no good arrangement, Emperor Chongming had to apologize again and again, temporarily wronged his sister, and the family crowded into the small courtyard of Sanjin, preparing to buy a house for his sister in the spring of next year.
Murong Wei went to the imperial study to deliver porridge and accidentally learned about his father's arrangement.
In the previous life, I disappointed my aunt's family a lot, and I was also sorry in my heart. She was bent on doing a good deed for her aunt, so she asked Xia Yuzhi for help.
The position of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is not high, but he is well-informed in Beijing. Xia Yuzhi explained the matter to Xiao Luochen, and Xiao Luochen naturally did it beautifully. On that day, Xia Lanxin came to deliver a letter, and the letter was attached to a paper deed in the courtyard of the Shilang Mansion.
Murong Wei thought about the deed that she had received in the dormitory, and she was secretly happy in her heart, and gently called her sister to go and see her aunt quickly.
In the small flower hall of Fengluan Palace, the earth dragon is burning vigorously, and the faint fragrance of flowers is wafting on the smoked cage, which is very pleasant.
Banxia passed in first, then opened the curtains, and invited the two princesses in.
Raising her feet to enter, Murong Wei saw the queen mother holding her aunt Murong Ling's hand, happily sitting on the auspicious cloud-patterned rosewood arhat bed in the middle, and the two were talking.
On the next rosewood rose chair, there are two cousins, and a pregnant lady, presumably the eldest cousin.
Murong Ling is very attractive, she is a few years older than Queen Chu, Rong Chang's face is white and ruddy, and a few faint fine lines have been added to the corners of her eyes.
Murong Wei looked at it slightly, and then led her sister to salute her aunt first, Murong Ling was about to stand up, Queen Chu had already grasped her hand, and said with a smile: "Only pay attention to family etiquette here, they are juniors, and my sister just sits." ”
Having said that, Murong Ling refused with a smile, where was he willing to accept the courtesy of the two sisters, and only said to Queen Chu: "The first national salute is the only family salute, the mother is so polite, how dare the courtiers be." ”
"Sister", Queen Chu's eyes were bright, and she was very moved when she spoke: "Brother-in-law and Murong have a half-teacher friendship, and if my sister talks like this, she is born." ”
Sister Murong Wei didn't wait for her mother's orders, so she had already bowed to her aunt. Murong Wei greeted her aunt with a smile: "Under the New Year's Day, my uncle and aunt have worked hard all the way. ”
Murong Ling received the full salute, looked a little uncomfortable, and beckoned to Sister Murong Wei with a smile: "Good boy, let my aunt see it recently, after a few years of hard work, I have grown into an adult." ”
The two obeyed, took a few steps forward, and stood still in front of Murong Ling, and when her aunt looked at herself, Murong Wei was also looking at her aunt.
Murong Ling wore a long veil with dark patterns of stone blue cloud brocade and jujube red Fangsheng today, embroidered a few green bamboos on the placket instead of flowers, and the neckline and cuffs were also entwined with bamboo patterns.
Uncles and aunts respect each other like guests, and the two sons and three daughters are all grandchildren. Thinking about it, most of my uncle's wave of arms was to protect my aunt, and I would rather be broken than broken, just like the green bamboo on my aunt's skirt.
Empress Chu's admiration for her sister does not stop there.
In his early years, her husband was in the middle of Tanhualang, and he once described his life experience in detail.
The Chen family and the Murong family were both considered families back then, and they also intended to marry Qin and Jin.
The Chen family has been smooth sailing, with many talents, and has become a local Wang family. However, the Murong family is in the middle of the road, and the children and grandchildren are withered.
When her husband was young, both parents died, and only his sister depended on him. In order to seek refuge, his sister took him to take refuge in the clan.
The Chen family did not forget the original intention, Chen Rujun showed his talents first, and then raised people. When he was young and talented, and his future was limitless, Chen's father and his son begged for marriage.
My sister is a woman, afraid that she will have no one to take care of her younger brother after she gets married, and she is afraid of delaying Chen Rujun's future, so she politely refused the marriage.
Chen's father lived up to the friendship of his old friend back then, and took his son to meet the patriarch of the Murong Yi clan.
After listening to Chen's father's account of the whole story, he greatly admired Chen's father and Chen Rujun's people, and used the strength of the entire Murong clan to add makeup to his sister, and asked his sister to marry beautifully.
My sister had an appointment in advance and married her younger brother, but the Chen family did not dislike it, and treated her husband and her children and grandchildren as well.
Chen Rujun was ten years old when Emperor Chongming was elder, and after his wife got married, Chen Rujun took on the responsibility of a half-father, not only let his wife and brother study in the clan, but also carefully taught his wife and brother every day, and had a half-teacher friendship with his wife and brother.
Chongming Emperor can explore flowers in high school, thanks to the Chen family's profound knowledge, and more often from Chen Rujun's teaching. After high school, the two became officials in the court together, which was also a good story back then.
Chen Rujun was worried about her mother at home, and Queen Chu was really sorry for her sister's family, just because her husband couldn't afford to use the Su family, she didn't mention the Chen family.
