When the third prince said this, he should treat Chen Junyi with some sincerity. However, his sincerity has already damaged Chen Junyi's appearance, and he can't afford it anymore. His confession will only make Chen Junyi even more sad, and then he will feel disgusting-

He will marry another woman after all. There will soon be many other women around him. This is probably what Chen Junyi, who is proud but flawed, is unwilling to face. Their relationship is no longer pure, even if he says that he will leave her the position of queen.

"After that visit, your mother had your father found and asked him directly if he would like to marry her." Master Chen continued: "Your father is very happy and promises again and again. Your mother made many requests, and he agreed to them all...... Including your mother's statement that as long as you have a marriage certificate and no dowry, he agreed. Even when I heard that your mother wanted to leave the capital, he didn't even participate in the spring festival, and after hastily getting married, the two left the capital. ”

It turned out to be a family affair that Chen Junyi took the initiative to propose.

Shen Rou froze.

"On the day of your mother's wedding, the prince came to congratulate him and drank a lot of wine."

"Later, before the prince officially got married, the noble concubine Niangniang went out and was sent back by the people of the prince's mansion......" The old man looked a little embarrassed, and said: "Later, the prince came to apologize, saying that he was drunk and mistakenly regarded the noble concubine Niangniang as someone else...... I didn't bother to say anything, so I asked him to take the man away. ”

He pursed the corners of his mouth, there was mockery in his smile, but more bitterness, and shook his head: "I have two daughters, but I ......" He pursed his lips, as if he had a thousand words in his heart, and he felt that he couldn't say it in his mouth, or felt that it was meaningless to say it again, so he had to be bitter and silent.

"Your mother probably always complained about me." The old man sighed at the end.

Shen Rouning suddenly felt that Chen Junyi was very undeserved.

Why is she so indifferent to hurt the people who care for her? Why do you always feel that everyone is sorry for her and should tolerate her? Is it because she hurt her face? So you can be justified?

Chen Lao was worried about her behavior. I don't want her to marry into the royal family...... Is he really wrong? If she wants to fight for her feelings, she can show her attitude and fight, instead of accepting the persuasion of her elders on the surface, but acting as usual in private...... So he ended up causing trouble for himself.

The Chen family, especially Chen Lao, loved her so much back then.

If she insists, Chen Lao may not be uncompromising!

Ning'er thought. Mother, she probably just couldn't forgive herself. Shen Rouning couldn't help but comfort Chen Lao Dao: "That's why I used indifference to cover my heart." Or maybe there are other reasons, but in any case, you are not wrong, grandfather. There is no need to blame yourself at all. ”

Old Man Chen smiled when he heard this.

He quickly withdrew from his previous sad emotions, looked at Shen Rouning, and said lovingly: "Ning'er, you tell you these old things. I just hope that you know what to do and not be confused by other people's words. ”

"Old days. Your eldest aunt knows some things, but your second aunt doesn't know any details, but she likes to think blindly. As for the servants in the house, because of the ambush. The two big girls around your mother who were trusted by her were killed on the spot, and even Mama Fan didn't know much, only that your mother had such an old relationship. It's just a matter of nobles. ”

Because I don't know the details, I will guess a lot.

If it is the one with bad intentions. told her conjecture to the little girl Shen Rouning, and the little girl would inevitably be affected by the rumors.

"You can know the old things of your elders, and you don't have to take them to heart all the time." Old Man Chen was afraid that Shen Rou would think about this, so he said kindly: "Your mother, you should take care of it more." ”

"Ning'er understands." Shen Rouning obediently responded.

She could see that the old man was hesitant. He probably couldn't be sure whether telling himself those old things was good or bad. And he will be afraid that his only granddaughter will be influenced by others...... In short, the old man may be knowledgeable and can easily deal with the major affairs of the court and politics, and he also knows how to cultivate his sons and grandchildren, but he does not know how to treat his daughter and the daughter of the foreign scholar.

He was a man, a father and a grandfather, but not a mother and a grandmother. I don't understand, and I can't blame him.

"Well, it's good that Ning'er understands." Old Man Chen waved his hand, as if to put aside other emotions, seeing that his granddaughter was delicate, intelligent and sensible, sitting in front of him obediently and skillfully, more beautiful than anything, he cherished it more in his heart, thought about it, and asked: "Listen to Houji, you like to paint?" ”

"Yes, Ning'er likes to draw very much." Shen Rouning smiled and nodded, not too shy and humble.

Old Man Chen asked her to draw a few strokes on the spot, and she sketched a small portrait of Chen Houqi just now, which turned out to be very vivid and expressive. The old man was very pleased to see her, and took her to the library and showed her his collection.

Since the time of Wendeng Gong, the Chen family has accumulated several generations of illustrious accumulation, and the collection of calligraphy Danqing works does not know how rich, and they are all famous works. Shen Rouning made a rough estimate, relying only on these calligraphy and paintings, I am afraid that I can provide the expenses of the Chen family for several lifetimes.

Old Man Chen himself also has some attainments in Danqing, but it is only a hobby, and he doesn't spend much energy on it, so he is not particularly outstanding. But that doesn't delay him from appreciating.

The grandfather and grandson stayed in the library for a long time, until there was twilight and the light dimmed, and then they walked out unsatisfied.

The library is so precious that no open fire is allowed in it.

"You can accept these fine brush figures, maybe it will be beneficial to your painting level." Old Man Chen casually gave the three painting scrolls to Shen Rouning, regardless of the fact that these paintings are the authentic works of the predecessors, and each one is truly worth a thousand gold.

"I can't wait for my lifetime, this work of Shen Yu can also be hard to find." Old Man Chen was in a good mood and encouraged Shen Rou to connoise: "If you have talent and interest, you must work hard to pursue it, and you must not give up easily for the sake of trivial matters." ”

"Well, Houqi is also very talented in calligraphy." Old Man Chen said: "You are all good children, and the talent is something that God easily refuses to give to mortals, you must know how to cherish it." ”

"Ning'er will." Shen Rouning replied cautiously.

Is there anything more precious in this world that is worth giving up her love for painting? Shen Rouning shook her head resolutely.

When the grandfather and grandson left the library, someone immediately came to ask for instructions: "...... The eldest lady asked, when can the family feast start? ”

"In half an hour." The old man pondered for a moment, and then asked, "How is the residence of my uncle and Miss Cousin arranged?" (To be continued)
