224 Mentions

Chen Houyun's time is undoubtedly extremely precious.

Except for the occasional appointment from a few close friends, he almost never appears in public. Some so-called banquets are also never attended. And he had already spent too much time here in the Shen family, Shen Rouning. From the initial two-month stay in Zhoushan County, to this time going south, to now Shen Rouning's sister and brother still break into Chen Houyun's study every day after returning to the capital......

Chen Houwen felt that since everyone praised Shen Rouning for her intelligence, she didn't even have the consciousness to think about others, and the so-called intelligence was limited. Today he met her again coming out of Chen Houyun's study...... Chen Houwen felt that it was necessary for him to mention Shen Rouning.

If she is wise, she should be able to understand what she means. Chen Houwen thought.

Of course Shen Rouning understood.

She was slightly stunned, and asked pretending to be surprised, "Grandpa really doesn't allow Cousin Wen to disturb your eldest cousin?" Her expression was a little puzzled, and her delicate brows furrowed: "However, my grandfather said to me and Brother Rong, if there is anything we don't understand in our schoolwork, just ask our eldest cousin......" She looked up at Chen Houwen in confusion, as if asking him, if what he said was true, then why did the old man give them a different explanation.

Chen Houwen was immediately embarrassed when he heard this, and his ears were hot.

The old man never told them not to disturb Chen Houyun at all. But Chen Houwen thought in his heart that Chen Houyun was the future pillar of the Chen family, and the imperial examination was the beginning of his career in life.

If it weren't for wanting him to get the crown, why did the old man not let him go all these years!

And if you want to get the top spot, how easy is it?

Chen Houwen took it for granted. Chen Houyun is at this critical moment, except for life events such as getting married, he should study at all other times! Getting married just needs him to be a groom official that day, and he doesn't need to worry about anything else! Chen Houyun At this time, how can he allow people to disturb at will and waste time?

Therefore, not only did he never ask Chen Houyun for his homework, but he also forbade Chen Houqi to go.

As for Old Man Chen, he had mentioned that they should go to Chen Houyun...... Chen Houwen felt in his heart that it was just the old man's casual politeness, and it couldn't be true. Unexpectedly, Shen Rouning took it seriously.

Chen Houwen secretly blamed Shen Rouning in his heart for being ignorant. Thinking about the girl's house is still the girl's house in the end. While calming his mind, he patiently said to Shen Rouning: "Cousin A Ning, what my grandfather said was just kindness. You ......"

He said with a sincere expression. Suddenly, I heard a heavy cough from the side. Chen Houwen paused and followed the voice to look over. It was his father and mother who came, Second Master Chen and Second Mrs. Chen. Chen Houwen hurriedly greeted them respectfully and greeted the two of them.

Shen Rouning also saluted.

Chen Er's character (flow, Chen Er's wife is gorgeous and gentle. The husband and wife came together, and they were like a pair of beautiful people, and the picture was very good-looking. It's a pity that Chen Houwen did not inherit the advantages of these two, and his image is just an ordinary handsome, which looks ordinary. However, Chen Houqi, at a young age, began to have some of his own look, and in a few years, he must be a famous young man in the capital.

"Ah Ning, your second aunt just said that she was going to find a few pots of chrysanthemums to move back to watch, can you accompany her to the flower room?" Second Master Chen's expression was gentle, and he asked Shen Rou Ning.

Shen Rouning nodded in response, stepped forward to hold the arm of Second Mrs. Chen, and walked to the side with a slight force to hug Second Mrs. Chen, who was still a little stunned, and said, "Second Uncle, what kind of chrysanthemum does Second Uncle like?" I went to the flower room a few days ago, and I saw a famous plant that was half-open, and I thought that it was already in full bloom today, and I don't know if it is still there? ”

It wasn't until the two of them walked out a little that Shen Rouning said to Second Mrs. Chen, who frequently turned back to see Second Master Chen, "Second Uncle, Second Uncle has something to say to Cousin Wen." "With Second Master Chen by her side, Second Mrs. Chen is like a different person before. If in the past, whether she thought and acted right, wrong, smart or stupid, or had a little temper, it was all expressing her person. And with Second Master Chen here, all her personalities disappeared immediately, and she had no temperament, and she became like the brocade robe on the hairpin on Second Master Chen's head, and her eyes were full of how Second Master Chen was, and she didn't even have any thoughts about herself.

It's incredible.

"I can't listen to anything?" Second Mrs. Chen was a little unhappy.

"Are they father and son, there must be some special words that are not easy for others to hear." Shen Rouning explained: "Moreover, Cousin Wen is also older, if the second uncle is teaching him, others will definitely feel embarrassed when others hear it." Shen Rouning took Second Mrs. Chen to the flower room, and said with a smile: "Anyway, let's leave them alone, let's go and pick flowers for the second uncle!" The second uncle will definitely be happy when he sees it for a while! ”

When Mrs. Chen heard Shen Rouning say that Second Master Chen would be happy because of the flowers, she immediately stopped thinking about what the father and son were talking about, and took the initiative to speed up her pace with great interest, and talked to Shen Rouning about the flowers in the flower room.

Second Master Chen watched the two of them walk away with a look in his eyes, and then he officially looked at Chen Houwen, motioned for him to follow him while talking, and slowly spoke: "You just wanted to remind Ah Ning not to disturb your eldest brother too much?" ”

Chen Houwen was a little apprehensive, but then calmed down again, nodded and said, "Yes, father." The eldest brother has to prepare for the autumn and spring and palace examinations in one go, which is related to the prosperity and decline of the Chen family for a hundred years, and there is no room for failure. Ah Ning's cousin always disturbed the eldest brother's penance because of some small things. ”

He has no selfish intentions, so he is not afraid to answer.

Second Master Chen was satisfied with his undisguised attitude, bowed slightly, and asked, "Do you think Ah Ning is disturbing Houyun?" ”

Chen Houwen said: "Yes." ”

Second Master Chen sighed lightly, patted his eldest son's shoulder, and said gently, "Brother Wen, relax." ”

Chen Houwen's face turned red and he looked at his father in confusion.

Second Master Chen put his hands behind his back and said, "You are not your eldest brother. Therefore, you don't know how profound his knowledge is, you don't know how thorough his schoolwork is, and you don't know how sure he is about the imperial examination...... You also don't know how he plans his future path and the future path of the Chen family......"

"Because you're not him, you don't know how much he saw, how much he considered, and how much he grasped." Second Master Chen sighed slightly in his heart.

People are born with gaps. You can't admit it. (To be continued......)
