Chapter 370: Relative
In this small turmoil between Zhong Chichun and Wen Chunyi, the two parties did not speak to the outside, and the two elders did not interfere, and soon the turmoil passed quietly. When it came to the day of the release of the list, Zhong Chichun was on the list, ranking in the front, and he had to continue to participate in the palace examination after that. The Zhong family took the initiative to send the news over, and after the palace test, they invited relatives and friends to gather.
On the day of the palace examination, the people of Ancheng were all waiting for the news. Soon the news came out, the top two are Nanjiang talents, both of whom are middle-aged, and only the third place is Zhong Chichun of Anseong, who is just in the prime of his youth. The Zhong family was immediately surrounded by people who congratulated him, and Wen Fu received the news, and Wen Chaohong rushed to the Zhong family with his children and nephews to congratulate him as soon as possible. They came back and said that the gate to enter the Zhong family was protected by the subordinates of the Zhong family, and they desperately squeezed into the door. I heard that the old lady of the Zhong family smiled and bloomed, as if she was many years younger all of a sudden.
The Zhong family was lively for several days, and after that, some gossip came out, saying that Zhong Chichun's family affairs were set too early, and the real happy relationship was mistaken. Wen Xiujun and Wen Xiujie brothers have been to Zhong's house twice, and each time they can see Zhong Chichun's classmates and friends, and bring their little sisters to talk around him, and look at the situation of guests and hosts enjoying each other. After Wen Xiujun's brother came back, he only dared to talk to Wen Xiuyu and his wife in private, Wen Xiujun complained to Wen Xiuyu: "I know that Brother Chi Chun has always been happy with little women, but he has already set a marriage date with Xue Duo, why doesn't he know how to avoid suspicion?" ”
Wen Xiujie defended on the side: "Brother Chi Chun pulled me aside and said, those are his friend's sisters, but everyone is talking in one place." He didn't take care of people too much, and he didn't get along with them in private. Wen Xiujun glared at him angrily and said, "He will only talk to you, a good person, why don't he dare to say such things to me." Does he still want to be with people in private? Wen Xiujie looked at his expression, lowered his head, and whispered: "Brother, you were smiling at that time, in fact, I knew that you were angry, Brother Chi Chun was smarter than me, and he must have known that you were angry."
Brother Chi Chun told me that people come and go. He can't fight with you. It would be too embarrassing for both of them to do that. "Zhong Chichun and Wen Xiujun, two friends, have become more and more incompatible recently because of Wen Chunyi's relationship. Wen Xiuyu and his wife listened to Wen Xiujie's words, and their faces looked slightly better. At least Zhong Chichun has a word of explanation. Wen Xiujun had a bored look on his face. Said to Wen Xiuyu: "Brother." He's the kind of person who is so angry that you can't get out of it. Tell me, what is this thing called? Xueduo's family business is settled. I don't think things have gone well in our room. ”
Wen Xiuyu glared at Wen Xiujun and said, "What nonsense? This family matter has been settled, and if there is any trouble in our four rooms, I see that every day is smooth. Wen Xiujun respected Wen Xiuyu's brother very much, and when he saw him a little angry, he immediately restrained his feelings and whispered: "Brother, I mean I'm not in a good mood." Wen Xiuyu looked at him and whispered advice: "Brother Jun, I know that you are thinking about Xueduo. Your mind is good, but what you did was wrong, the more times like this, the more you have to get close to Chi Chun and help guard against those who have a heart. ”
After the initial lively days passed, the Zhong family quickly refused many guests who came to congratulate them on the grounds that they wanted to prepare for Zhong Chichun's family affairs. Wen Chunyi was in the big room, and after listening to the excitement of the Zhong family, after she came back, she said to the Jin family with a sigh: "Mother, this day is not a job that ordinary people can do. Fortunately, at that time, my family was not so lively. Jin looked at her with a smile and said: "Your brother's ranking in the palace examination is not too high, and our family's home scene is bright, and it can be lively for a few days, which is also the sincerity of relatives and friends."
The Zhong family is different, the old lady of the Zhong family is still in the opposition, he has prestige and fame, and there are many people who welcome him. Besides, the third master of the Zhong family has a wide range of exchanges and knows many friends, and Chi Chun's communication is also wider than that of your brother. Wen Chunyi looked at the Jin family with an admiring expression, quite a bit of a taste of being impressed by the three days. Seeing Wen Chunyi's expression, Jin smiled and stretched out her hand to push Wen Chunyi, and said with a smile: "This is what your father told me, I will convey it to you." On weekdays, I would ask about other people's homes. Your father said that everyone in the world likes to add flowers to the cake, but this kind of icing flowers should also be added to our family. ”
Wen Chunyi laughed when she heard Jin's words, she nodded and said, "Mother is right, if you don't add one or two flowers to such flowers, others will treat us as pedantic and sour people." Knowing the current affairs, advancing and retreating, is the family style of scholars. "Wenfu and the Zhong family were originally relatives, and now they are close to each other, and at such a time, they want to do the icing on the cake. Wen Chunyi has met Zhong Chichun once since that day, and the two have never had a chance to meet since then. However, rumors about Zhong Chichun still come out from time to time.
Wen Chunyi often felt that everyone held Zhong Chichun too high at this time, and in the future, Zhong Chichun walked down from a high place, and for a while, I was afraid that I would feel a little uncomfortable. However, she could not say such words, nor could she say them at this time. A person like the old lady of the Zhong family, how could he not know this, he could let it go, and now Wen Chunyi, a semi-outsider, would not say much. After the temple test, after a period of rest, the students on the list will be assigned errands by the above. Zhong Chichun's errand, Wen Chunyi only heard that the eldest lady mentioned it casually, and it was said that he would still stay in Ancheng.
Soon Zhong Chi Chun's errand was arranged, and he was arranged to be an official at the Anseong South City Office. Such an arrangement was beyond everyone's expectations, but Wen Xiuyu said to the people in the fourth room: "Chi Chun is doing a good job in Nancheng, it is easier to get results than doing errands in various subordinate departments of the DPRK and China, and no one dares to take his credit." Wen Chunyi heard that Xiuyu had popularized the knowledge of officialdom well, and quickly understood, looking at the above, there was no obvious reuse of Zhong Chichun, in fact, secretly, the governor of the officialdom knew that it was the ladder given to you from above, and your governor climbed the ladder along the ladder, which was more likely to be promoted than ordinary people.
Halfway through May, Wen Chunyi woke up, and June 6 was getting more and more up, and her family affairs were imminent. Wen Thirteen's young grandmother has taken over the four-room housekeeper, and after cleaning up Wen Chunyi's dowry again, she discussed with the Jin family that she would buy a courtyard for Wen Chunyi outside the city. Jin was willing to treat her daughter-in-law generously, so she arranged it. Wen Chunyi was in the big room every morning and accompanied the Jin family in the afternoon to do the finishing work of the dowry, but he didn't pay attention to the movements of Wen Thirteen Young Grandma, until Jin later said that after Wen Chunyi said goodbye, Wen Chunyi immediately rejected Wen Thirteen Young Grandma's good intentions.
In the case of four rooms, she is unwilling to spend more money on her dowry. After Wen Thirteen's young grandmother purchased a courtyard outside the city, the fourth room was restored to a clean and innocent family. After hearing Wen Chunyi's truth, Wen Thirteen Young Grandmother said with a smile: "I heard your brother say that when my sister got married, she also paid all the dowry for the fourth room. Now it's your turn, I see that the situation at home is much better than when my sister was there, so you can take it. It's a big deal, if you have any ideas for idle books in the future, you go back to your parents' house and continue to drag your brothers to earn money. ”
Wen Chunyi couldn't refuse this intention, so he could only add it to the dowry by Wen Thirteen's young grandmother. After Zhong Chichun's errand came down, he came to Wenfu, and he and Wen Chunyi said a few words in front of everyone. Zhong Chichun said: "A while ago, there were many people in the family, and it was inconvenient for my family to come to the door, and it was inconvenient for me to come to your house, and it was even more inconvenient to deliver the letter to you, don't mind." I'm on an errand now, I can earn money to support my family, you can rest assured, I will do things with peace of mind. Wen Chunyi faced Zhong Chichun, who looked cautious, and his heart softened, he was an immature person who had just come out of society after all.
Wen Chunyi glanced at everyone's expressions, and she said calmly: "You have just entered the industry, and you have heard more about everything." There are many uses for silver, and there are many benefits for less. I am not a greedy person, as long as it is clean silver, I will use it with peace of mind. Wen Chunyi looked at everyone's expressions, she really couldn't think of anything extra to say to Zhong Chichun, and finally squeezed out a sentence: "Those big things, I don't understand, you can't talk nonsense, anyway, if you listen to the words of the elders, you can't be wrong, they won't hurt you to go the wrong way." Although they were far away, they listened to some of the words in the wind.
Mrs. Wen later muttered to Grandma Wen: "You say, eighteen is such a solid-eyed person, and when you meet Zhong Chichun, a person with a lot of eyes, how will you live this life." She married into the Zhong family, can she match your third aunt? When the young grandmother heard the words of the eldest lady, she suddenly had a feeling that the future of her marriage was bleak, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat speechless for a long time. On the contrary, after Wen Xiuhua came back, after hearing the words of the eldest young grandmother, he laughed and said: "If Eighteen is as smart and clever as Chi Chun, Chi Chun may not be able to look down on her, and Eighteen will not have a chance to enter Chi Chun's heart."
That kind of person just wants to choose a person who doesn't have many eyes, who can relax when he goes home, and will be supported by him in the future. No matter how capable the third aunt is, she can't always fight with her little daughter-in-law, it's too obvious. What's more, although Eighteen is a straightforward person, she is not a person without rules, and she will not give her third aunt a chance to calculate her in the big picture. You and your mother are too worried, you haven't thought about it, everyone has their own rules of conduct, and I believe that the Eighteenth Society will live well in the Zhong family. Wen Xiuyu felt that Mrs. Wen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cared too much, and her heart was too chaotic, so she thought about it a little. (To be continued......)
