Chapter 137: War
The Great Elder sighed and said, "Okay, the clansmen of your clan have indeed made great contributions to the Chen clan. Since you all intercede for him, then I can show mercy outside the law. ”
All the people present rejoiced.
But the Great Elder said again: "But the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime is unforgivable, in order to set an example, in order to teach a lesson to all of you in the capital, Chen Yuanluan cannot stay in the capital." Chen Yuanluan's property was temporarily handed over to his son Chen Wenhao to manage. Chen Yuanluan is going to be brought back to the clan land to live. Moreover, it is to monitor life, and the range of activities cannot exceed two miles around the house. We will give him a place for his clan to live, buy a house, and provide for his son Chen Wenhao every day. For a period of five years. ”
Chen Yuanluan was stunned for a moment, although he was unhappy, but it was much better than death and imprisonment. This is also one of the ways in which the clan often deals with clansmen who make small mistakes, and Chen Yuanluan is very clear.
Thinking about it, his son is okay, plus there is an eldest brother, the third brother is taking care of him in the capital, and his son Chen Wenhao does not dare not respect him, thinking that he will buy him a big mansion in the future, with the production of his own house, he should be able to live a good life for himself. The range of activities is two miles away, and you can also go around the city every day, drink tea, and yo-yo birds.
It's impossible to just think about living a glamorous life, after all, you're a sinner.
Chen Yuanluan hurriedly knelt down to thank Elder Xie.
Chen Wenhao and his wife were stunned for a moment, and they were also busy thanking, not only the Great Elder, but also all the uncles, brothers and sisters and aunts who interceded for his father.
In addition to him, there are also Chen Wenhua sisters who are also grateful.
After the noise. The Grand Elder closed the meeting.
Chen Wenhui followed her parents to prepare to go back.
At this time, I heard Chen Wenhua say to Chen Wenhao: "Brother, brother-in-law, my father's house in the clan land will be purchased by our sisters." We are also doing our filial piety, daily supply, you have to pay more attention. There is also a lot of management of the property in the house, study more, study, exercise, and strive to contribute to the imperial court. Glorious lintel for our second room. ”
Chen Wenhao and his wife reacted at this time.
It turns out that the family property of Erfang Nuoda is all returned to him at once? Although only for five years. My father will be back in five years, but these five years can change a lot of things. Five years later, my father was also old. Maybe I won't be in charge anymore. And. Listen to this tone. Father's concubines born in the outer room will not be recognized. The two elder sisters are richer than themselves and are supported by the imperial court. There are also Taoist temples, and they don't look down on their own family property at all. Isn't that the future also your own?
It's a huge bliss. However, it is really not a problem to provide for the father as well. Even if he buys a house by himself, provides his father with the best, eats well, and wears well, he is placed under residential surveillance, and he can't gamble or go to the Qinglou, how can he spend money? The money in the past five years is really a drop in the bucket for the family property. What's more, now I don't even have to buy a house, but my two sisters have bought it.
It's such a blessing.
Chen Wenhao hasn't reacted yet, and his wife has already said: "It's not easy for us to refuse the kindness of our sisters." We will definitely provide for our father well in the future, and we will take care of the house, and when my father comes back, it will be an orderly home. ”
Sister Chen Wenhua was satisfied.
Chen Wenhui smiled slightly after hearing this, did not pause in her footsteps, and followed her parents out.
In the evening, Chen Wenhui returned home and told Zhao Chongyi about it.
Zhao Chongyi sighed: "Why is a family a family? Because they have institutions like the Law Enforcement Hall to restrain their clansmen. Our future Zhao family must also have such an institution. Otherwise, what if the clan is not virtuous? ”
Chen Wenhui thought about it seriously, it was really a problem. She said: "Okay, in this regard, I think we can refer to how the four great families set the family rules, how they set the punishment, and how they are implemented. Let's go away and set our rules. ”
Zhao Chongyi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Before this, shouldn't we have a few more sons to strengthen our family?" ”
Chen Wenhui blushed with shame.
The autumn is not over yet, and Chen Yuanluan has already gone to live in the clan land in the northeast. There are two daughters who bought him a spacious and beautiful, whitewashed house, a silver coin for his son's support, tens of thousands of taels of his own private money, and all kinds of things that his daughters bought for him, from towels, silk, clothes, bedding, curtains, curtains, window screens, chairs, door curtains to furniture, porcelain, tea, wine, books, all kinds of luxury items, of course, Aunt Sun, who gave birth to two daughters of the national teacher, also followed Chen Yuanluan.
Although Chen Yuanluan's life in the next five years is a bit monotonous, it should not be sad. In fact, Chen Yuanluan lives very well in the clan land, eating and drinking well every day, drinking tea and walking birds. Every New Year's Day, his son Chen Wenhao will send him silver, and the two daughters will send many things, including jewelry for their biological mother, clothes for their father and mother, all of which are the most trendy styles in Beijing. There are also some daily necessities, such as porcelain, such as silk, such as novelty furniture.
Chen Yuanluan's life has caused a trend in the clan land. may be accustomed to this kind of life in the clan land, and later, after Chen Yuanluan returned to the capital, he lived at home, everything in the family was handed over to his son, and his daughter-in-law took care of it, and he hugged the beautiful little girl every day and lived an idle life. Of course, these beautiful little girls, he no longer dares to look for them outside, these are his own maids, and they are very reliable.
As for Mrs. Li, after negotiations between the Chen family and the Li family, the Li family did not dare to say anything in front of the evidence, but just took Mrs. Li back. Mrs. Li has no money, only some jewelry, utensils, antiques and the like, and her life is not bad, but compared with the previous luxury life, it is really a heaven and an earth.
Chen Wenhui's mother and daughter also felt open-minded, and this revenge was finally avenged.
Chen Wenjin and his wife were found out by the clan and really wanted to defect to the Li clan, so they were naturally punished. Because he has not yet succeeded in escaping, the capital crime can be exempted, but Chen Wenjin, who has no property, has had a very difficult time with the confiscation of family property and the removal of official positions.
Chen Wenhui didn't have any sympathy for her, so she didn't bother to pay attention to it. Anyway, the clan land won't let her starve to death.
As for Chen Yuanluan's outer rooms, they were all sent and sold, and no one paid attention to that concubine, and was taken away by his mother.
The Chen family's affairs came to an end. A letter from Nanyang was sent to the Zhao family in the capital, Mrs. Zhao, Zhao Yuwen, Zhao Chongyi, and Zhao Chongli all received a letter from their father, and the old Zhongyi said that no one served him, so he asked Mrs. Zhao to be sent to Nanyang. Although Mrs. Zhao was extremely unwilling, the children still sent her away.
After that, Mrs. Zhao never had the opportunity to return to the capital in her life. She didn't take care of the old loyal father. Lao Zhongyi has a lot of delicate maids around him to take care of. She is not needed. She has always been left in a city in Nanyang by Lao Zhongyigong, of course, it is not in Chen Wenhui's city, but in an acropolis in Tongren City. There is a quiet life, a boring and boring life. Every year, Zhongyi Gong or other children will visit her once, except for Zhao Chongyi, of course.
She had no worries about food and clothing, and was bored in captivity until the end of her life, to be exact, when the old loyal and righteous father died. The old loyal and righteous father also took her away.
Without these disturbing troubles, the lives of the three national teachers in the Taoist temple are much better. Mrs. Han of the Zhongyi Mansion in the capital is also more and more satisfied with her daughter's progress, and she is also satisfied with her full control of the mansion, and her daughter's dowry is also very well prepared. What made her even happier was that her son had finally settled on a family affair, and the object was Chen Wenqi's eldest daughter.
Mrs. Han admires the virtuous name of the Chen family's daughter very much. Seeing that the Zhao family once again ushered in a daughter of the Chen family, Mrs. Han was in a good mood. Chen Wenhui was also very happy, after all, that was her niece.
What's even happier is that the world's number one beauty has finally appeared, that is, Princess Huichuan. Princess Huichuan's marriage has been decided, and she is Chen Wenqi's eldest son. The eldest son of the Chen family, such an identity is also worthy of Princess Shanghuichuan. At the same time, the queen mother in the palace was also very satisfied with Concubine Shi's choice, which undoubtedly added weight to her son.
However, these emperors didn't care, he was happy that this late autumn, after two months of cotton battles, the Bai family finally collapsed. The head of the Bai family admitted defeat to the emperor.
The emperor and the Bai family patriarch discussed several things in private. The first is the future war against southern Xinjiang, and the Bai family will send 50,000 soldiers with their own weapons and armor. Of course, military pay is a big one. Second, Bai Guifei was degraded and confined to the cold palace. Third, the emperor would remove many of the Bai family's related official positions.
This was a great purge, and there was turmoil in Da Chu's officialdom for a while, and then it was passed safely. The price of cotton became normal, and the Bai family began to recuperate.
The four major families, including the Chen family, were all vigilant.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the emperor issued a requisition order to the other three families, the Chen family, the Wang family, and the Li family, and requisitioned their soldiers to fight in southern Xinjiang. Among them, the Wang family sent 50,000 troops, but afterwards, the emperor promised to give the Wang family a southern Xinjiang region close to the Wang family's land as compensation. The Li family sent 5,000 troops, and the Chen family sent 5,000 troops.
The Xiao Chen family and the Zhao family, although the Xu family of Princess Lichuan is not yet a family, but they have territories overseas and have to send some things to this war.
Among them, Xiao Chen's family paid a huge five million taels of silver. The Zhao family, that is, Chen Wenhui and his wife, invested 10 million taels of silver. The Xu family has the least, and there are also one million taels of silver. Afterwards, the emperor would give them a certain number of people.
Agreements were reached. All the families know what they are out of and what they get, and they all feel that there is no opinion, and the emperor is still very good at assigning them.
Finally, in this winter, the war against southern Xinjiang began. (To be continued.) )
