Chapter 41: Gambling Friends Get Together
Lu Caiyun hurriedly comforted his father-in-law, "Daddy, you don't have to frown, maybe those officials know that Daddy is a clean official, and they will never dare to be a traitor again." ”
Chen Bo also echoed: "Daddy, what Xiaoyun said makes sense, you should be happy that you have been promoted to an official position now." ”
"Yes, sir, we should celebrate." Mrs. Chen said.
Chen Qing shook his head and said, "Don't be extravagant and wasteful!" Surely we have just enough silver to spend. ”
"Master, how can you say it's a waste, the officials who have been promoted in your officialdom don't hold banquets and entertain colleagues, didn't Li Shangshu also send an invitation last year, let us go to congratulate? I also used a bracelet as a bracelet, and I pooled the money to buy a jade Ruyi, and we gave it to him together. ”
Chen Bo looked at Chen Qing and said, "Daddy, since we have all given them congratulatory gifts, we should also feast them and receive their congratulatory gifts, otherwise our silver will not be wasted." ”
Chen Qing said embarrassedly: "It's not that I don't want to invite them, but where did we get the money to put on a feast?" ”
"We can be something valuable, and redeem it when we have money, last time I was a jade bracelet, this time I will also take the other one." Mrs. Chen looked at Chen Bo after speaking.
Chen Bo saw his mother glaring at him with her eyes, and hurriedly said, "Mother, don't look at me all the time, I have nothing to do, and it's not worth a few taels of silver to treat me as a fool." ”
Lu Caiyun knew that Mrs. Chen was waiting for her to speak, so she took off two jade bracelets from her hands and put them on the table in front of Chen Qing, "Daddy, this is the bracelet that my mother gave me, you can take it!" ”
"Xiaoyun, you take it back, this is the dowry that your mother gave you. This is not to be done. ”
"Just take it! Daddy, when we have the silver taels, we will redeem them. Chen Bo looked at Lu Caiyun and said to Chen Qing.
Chen Qing put away the two bracelets and said to Lu Caiyun: "It's okay, even if Daddy owes you, when you have the silver, Daddy will definitely redeem it and hand it over to you in person." ”
"Daddy, the feast will be booked in four days! By then, the wound on my face will be almost healed, and I can help you call those officials. Chen Bojian said.
"It's okay, when I go to the study to write the invitations, send them out one by one." Chen Qing walked out of the guest room after speaking.
Caiyun saw Chen Qing go out, and also got up to leave, and then heard Mrs. Chen suddenly point to Caiyun and say: "You all listen to me, the master is now an official of the imperial court, but it is not as good as before, you have to be more reserved outside, especially you, a woman's family, show up all day long, what kind of system has become." ”
"Mother, what are you talking about, where did Caiyun provoke you?" Chen Bo said unfairly for Caiyun, he really couldn't figure it out, why couldn't such a good daughter-in-law look down on him.
"You will only favor your daughter-in-law, my mother and I will teach her to understand etiquette and law, they are businessmen, and they have no knowledge. I don't know how to know Shudali. Mrs. Chen pursed her lips and said.
"The lesson of my mother is that my daughter-in-law still has something to do, so I will retire first." Caiyun didn't want to listen to the vicious mother-in-law's nagging anymore, so she got up to say goodbye and went back to her residence.
"Mother, I also have something, so I'll go first." Chen Bo got up and left the room.
Seeing Chen Bo leave, Mrs. Chen scolded: "This white-eyed wolf, I have raised him for so many years in vain, this is really marrying a daughter-in-law and forgetting my mother."
"Old lady, you are angry, the young master is still confused by her, and one day he will understand your hard work." Xiaoqing on the side persuaded.
Chen Die came in from outside, saw Mrs. Chen's angry appearance and asked, "Mother, who are you angry with?" ”
"Who else can there be, it's not your white-eyed wolf brother, you married a daughter-in-law and forgot your mother, you are married, but you have to come back often to see your mother, don't be like him."
"Got my mother, what about my father? I heard that my father was made a high-ranking official by the emperor? ”
Mrs. Chen said with a smile: "Yes, yes, your father is now the imperial history of Kyoto, a second-rank official, and you will have the opportunity to contact the sons of those high-ranking officials in the future, and the rich and powerful sons are not at your disposal." ”
In the past few days, the Chen Mansion has been busy setting up banquets, the Chen Mansion is lit up inside and out, and the plaque on the door has also been replaced with the three big characters of the Imperial History Mansion.
In the past few days, Caiyun has also been busy with Zhuangzi's affairs, and has no time to take care of Chen Bo, and the injury on Chen Bo's face is almost as good as possible.
On the day of the banquet, the Chen Mansion was jubilant, and the officials of Kyoto, all of whom came to congratulate, must know that this Inspectorate is directly led by the emperor and specializes in supervising the place of Beijing officials.
On this day, Chen's father and son were specially outside the gate, greeting distinguished guests, Li Shangshu took his son Li Fugui to Chen's mansion first, a few days ago I saw Chen Bo, and Li Fugui, who was arrogant and unreasonable, saw Chen's father and son this time, nodded from afar, first called Uncle Chen, and then took out a pair of jade Ruyi hands to offer, to see that Chen Bo did not take the jade Ruyi handed over by Li Fugui. Li Shangshu hurriedly stepped forward: "Congratulations to Brother Chen on his promotion to the position of imperial history, a small and thin gift is not a tribute, and I hope that Brother Chen will accept it." ”
"The little nephew has thanked Uncle Li here." Chen Bo was no longer polite, took the pair of jade ruyi handed over by Li Fugui, and handed them to the housekeeper.
Seeing that Chen Bo accepted the congratulatory gift. Li Fugui took Chen Bo's hand, "Why haven't these **** seen Brother Chen on the street?" What are you busy in the house? ”
Chen Bo smiled: "I'm not busy with anything, I just opened a silk and satin village with my lady and was busy running it." ”
"It seems that Brother Chen knows how to run a house, it must be his sister-in-law who is well-disciplined!" Li Fugui said with a wicked smile.
At this time, Song Taishou led his son Song Yuan, and also stepped forward, Brother Chen was promoted to the position of imperial history, and congratulated his brother for coming. Song Yuan took out a golden Buddha the size of a human head and handed it to Chen Bo, and said in his mouth: "Brother Chen, it was wrong to be a brother in the past, you have a lot of adults, and we will still be good friends from now on."
Chen Bo also took the Golden Buddha unceremoniously: "Where did Brother Song say it, we have always been brothers. "Chen Bo will not forget jì, in the past, this Song Yuan bullied himself a lot, relying on his father to be too guarded, and a group of gangsters, changing the law to rectify himself.
"Brother Chen heard that your lady is as beautiful as a flower, why don't you call forward and let Brother Wei have a glimpse of her face." Song Yuan laughed.
"She's not in the house today, she's helping out in Zhuangzi." Chen Bo said angrily, he didn't want Song Yuan to see Caiyun, you must know that this Song Yuan is famous for his lust in Kyoto-
