Walking to the front, Zhao found that the style of these two mansions was a little peculiar, according to common sense, each house is relatively independent, divided into two or three road structures, but these two courtyards are like a three-way structure of the courtyard was cut in half, separated from it, each built a mansion gate, and became two houses.

"Childe, this is the Chen Mansion!" Tan Fei came over and said.

"Oh, both mansions have the doors of the Chen Mansion hanging on them, which one is it?" Zhao looked at the two adjacent gates and asked with a smile.

"This ...... This, how has it changed, there was only one door, and in the past, my family lived in the same house with my uncle's family. Chen Shu was also a little dazed, and the door was closed, he couldn't tell the difference, and muttered.

"I guess it's the west side!" Zhao saw that Chen Shu's confused appearance was a little ridiculous, and touched his chin and said. In fact, he had already guessed that Chen Zeweng and Chen Renweng brothers did not separate, and the two brothers also lived in the same house when they were in Qiongzhou, so that they could take care of each other, and they thought it was still the case after entering Beijing.

It's just that the elder brother was a scholar in the past, and later the younger brother also became a scholar, and it was inconvenient to enter and exit the same door, so it was rebuilt into two mansions, so it became a house with two books. At first glance, it seems that the brothers are harmonious, and there are differences because they are all promoted to high-ranking officials, but under careful consideration, there is a lot of low-key show-off meaning. In ancient times, the east was respected, and the west was naturally Chen Renweng's residence.

"It should be good!" Chen Shu thought about it, felt that it made sense, and nodded.

'Bang, bang...... Zhao motioned for Wang De to call the door, he patted the door, and there was a crisp sound under the impact, which spread far away in the long alley.

"Who's the door?" The side door opened, and a middle-aged man leaned out and asked with some dissatisfaction.

"May I ask Chen Shangshu to be in the house, my Huang Gongzi is visiting!" The main gate is for the host or distinguished guests to enter and exit, you come up and knock on the door, people are naturally dissatisfied, Wang De also realized his mistake, and said with a smile.

"May I ask which Huang Gongzi it is? There are door stickers! The porter looked at the few people under the stairs, although they looked extraordinary, they were all very young, and they couldn't remember which Huang Gongzi it was for a while, so they asked again.

"I have some door stickers when I get home, open the door quickly, let's go in!" Seeing that the porter was asking questions and asking, but he was blocking the door and not letting him in, Chen Shu was a little anxious, and hurriedly stepped forward to lift the veil hanging from his hat and said.

"Yes...... Is it a sissy? The porter was startled when he heard the sound, and he didn't know what to call it for a while, and when he reacted, he hurriedly bowed to him.

"Open the door and don't let outsiders see it!" Chen Shu pulled it up and urged urgently.

"Mother's ...... Did you sneak out of the palace? Hearing Chen Shu say this, the porter was taken aback, mistakenly thinking that he had run out of the palace secretly, he knew that the female son in the mansion had been very bold since he was a child, and often did something out of the ordinary. And sneaking out of the palace is not as simple as being naughty, if you don't get it and affect the whole family, I don't know whether to let her in or turn her away.

"What nonsense, Your Majesty is here, get out of the way!" Chen Shu pushed it away and beckoned everyone to enter the door.

"The little one should be damned, I don't know Long Yan......" The porter was frightened and knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor.

"I came abruptly, don't blame those who don't know!" Zhao picked him up and motioned for Wang De to give a reward.

"Don't go and report it yet!" Chen Shu looked at the porter who was busy with Shane, and said angrily.

"Yes, sis!" The porter hurriedly got up and ran as he shouted.

"This guy is really damned, I have already told him that he secretly left the palace, wouldn't everyone know about such a trouble." Seeing this, Chen Shu was so angry that she stomped her feet again and again.

Zhao Xiaoxiao, who is this wishing, how can this situation occur if you talk well. He didn't have to guess, at this moment, the house must be chickens and dogs, busy driving. And the others also hid and avoided it, and no one paid attention to it for a while, but he couldn't always stand at the door, and he couldn't go in immediately, which made people embarrassed, so he had to pretend to appreciate it and move forward slowly.

The house is really as he thought, except for the gate is double, the inside is still the same, there is only one main hall, which is divided into two roads, left and right, and the rest are shared. Looking at the pattern, it should be a four-entry courtyard, divided into the front hall and the back house, which looks not small, but think about the population of these two families. Only Chen Zeweng has eight sons, all of whom are married and have grandchildren, and Chen Renweng also has three sons, all of whom have not been separated to live. The living situation can be imagined, and it is certainly not relaxed.

However, the Chen family is a scholarly family after all, and the front yard is very elegant, carrying low trees along the road, and placing a few pots of flowers and plants, and there is no nouveau riche publicity, which makes people look very comfortable. If you only look at the courtyard, no one would have thought that there are two scholars living in this mansion, the current abbots. Zhao is very satisfied with the Chen family being so low-key.

"Chen Zeweng, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, Chen Renweng, the secretary of the Ministry of Ministers, ordered the family to knock to see Your Majesty and the concubine!" Walking to the front of the hall, a group of people hurriedly came from above, and in front of the emperor, Hulala knelt and saluted.

"Aiqing, don't be polite, please get up quickly!" Zhao was secretly happy in his heart when he saw this, and felt that the Chen family must have received military training, and it was neat enough to change into court clothes in such a short time. You must know that according to the control of the Great Song Dynasty, the wives and mothers of officials are all sealed, that is to say, they are no longer ordinary people, but those with official status, and they also have to change into ceremonial clothes to welcome them. But he couldn't laugh at the moment, he took two steps forward, and pulled a Chen Shangshu in one hand. And Chen Shu also hurriedly stepped forward to pick up her grandmother and mother and other elders.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Despite this, the elders and children of the Chen family still got up after thanking them and made way for His Majesty and the concubine to go first.

"The ministers didn't know that His Majesty and the concubine had arrived, and they couldn't greet each other, so please atone for your sins!" With his brother here, Chen Renweng, the official national abbot, also gave way, took a step back, and Chen Zeweng saluted again.

"Chen Shangshu is polite, it's all abrupt from me, but it disturbed the two of you and your family, I'm really embarrassed!" Zhao replied, and rushed to the others to apologize.

"Your Majesty's arrival in the cold house is the glory of the ministers, how dare you ......" Chen Zeweng said and knelt down again.

"Excuse me, excuse me, it's hot, don't let the old lady get contaminated with the heat, otherwise it's all my sin!" Zhao hurriedly grabbed Mrs. Chen, who was about to follow the salute, and waved her hand.

"Your Majesty, please!" Chen Zeweng has followed His Majesty for many years, so he naturally knows the temper of the little emperor, and he is no longer polite, leading the way.

Entering the main hall and sitting down, the Chen brothers let the children and wives and concubines of the officials according to their elders and young give gifts again, which is actually equivalent to the current meeting, so that everyone can get to know each other, and Zhao also asked a few words, nothing more than the age and where he served, and the small ones asked if they could go to school and what books they had read. I also asked Mrs. Tai and how her health was.

After the polite greetings, Zhao Cai remembered that he was bringing Lilly, and let Wang De hold it again, but it was not easy for so many people to give them points in person, and although they met, they couldn't tell who was who. In particular, there is a lot of age difference between the Chen brothers, and it is inevitable that there will be grandsons on crutches and grandfathers with diapers, and everyone will be embarrassed if they make mistakes.

"Your Majesty is so generous, the minister really doesn't dare to be it!" Everyone began to see only a small box, thinking that there would not be many valuable things, but as soon as they opened it, it was brilliant and colorful.

"Eh, Zheng Yong came back a few days ago, saying that it was something brought back from the West, I don't know whether it's good or bad, I think it's all my own family, I won't dislike it, where do I dare to be a generous gift." Zhao smiled and turned his face to Chen Shu again, "Concubine, I bother you to share it with your ladies to create jewelry, and make some accessories that can still be used." He simply handed it over to Chen Shu for him to deal with, which also showed that he had face in front of the emperor. And when he married someone else's daughter into the palace, he didn't give a penny of the bride price, and let the family paste the dowry upside down, and he felt that there was nothing wrong with the ceremony.

"The concubine has thanked Your Majesty!" Chen Shu thanked her, let people hold the box, said goodbye to the female dependents, and went to the back hall to talk to her mother and sisters in a private room.

"Tan Fei, I've arrived in the mansion, you don't have to accompany me anymore, just be casual!" Zhao watched everyone withdraw as well, leaving only the Chen brothers and a few older children in the hall to accompany him, and he said to Tan Fei and a few guards who were standing behind him.

"Yiwu, accompany Commander Xie to the side hall to rest, and don't slack off!" When Chen Zeweng heard this, he hurriedly called his sixth son, Chen Jishi, to accompany him and arrange for them to rest.

"It's hard work!" Tan Fei saluted Chen Jishi. Thinking that this is the maiden home of the noble concubine, and the Chen brothers are His Majesty's old ministers, they will never have the intention of murder, and besides, they are suddenly visiting, and they have no time to prepare for misdeeds, even so he still left a guard on duty outside the hall in case of accidents.

"I'm ashamed to have taken the liberty of coming and disturbing everyone!" As soon as he came, the two families who tossed were not at peace, but Zhao still felt unbearable and apologized again.

"Your Majesty's arrival at our house is the glory of the ministers, so how can you be disturbed!" Chen Zeweng waved his hand again and again. As far as he knew, after moving back to Lin'an, the little emperor visited the minister's mansion for the first time, saying that he had lost face.

"Your Majesty is tired every day, busy with state affairs, and being able to come to the house in your spare time is a good thing that your subordinates can't ask for!" Chen Renweng has always regarded himself as the emperor's retainer in the past, and although he is now the ruler, he has not changed his name.

"I chatted with Minwu today, saying that the house was feasting today, so I came uninvited to join in the fun and beg for a glass of wine!" Zhao knew that his sudden visit made the Chen brothers scratch their heads, and he must have muttered in his heart, so he simply made it clear, so as not to make them uneasy.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to be a lady...... It must be her idea to protect the concubine, Your Majesty must not spoil and lose the royal courtesy! Chen Renweng didn't believe it. If the emperor came alone, it would be explained, but his own daughter came with him, so he couldn't help but be suspicious. Of course, his own children understand that Chen Shu is used to being rude at home, and has bullied the emperor since he was a child, thinking that it must be the emperor who is pestering him but only waiting for him to sneak out of the palace, and the emperor said this to cover for his daughter and excuse her.

"This is really wronging the concubine, I don't believe it, I'll find out when Minwu comes back and asks. I thought that the concubine had not returned home for a long time, so I brought her with me. Zhao Xiaoxiao said.

"Eh, the concubine is also ignorant, there are so many people in the palace, and the queen has never gone home to visit, so it's a lot of trouble!" Chen Renweng still doesn't believe in authenticity.

"Linzhou, the courtesy of the monarch and the minister must not be forgotten, don't talk nonsense!" At this time, Chen Zeweng glared at his brother and reminded.

"This ...... Brother taught me a lesson! Chen Renweng thought about it, his daughter is a concubine, and she occupies the position of the king, so he naturally can't teach a lesson casually, although it is for the emperor's good.

"It doesn't matter, even if she is a concubine, she is also your niece, and the lesson should be taught." Zhao Lian waved his hand.

"Your Majesty, the courtesy of the monarch and the minister must not be wasted, otherwise it will not break the rules!" Chen Zeweng really refused, and said politely.

"Hehe, today's summer solstice is the time when the heat is unbearable, but you are wearing court clothes, isn't it hot?" looked at the few people sitting in the hall, all dressed tightly, sweating profusely, and didn't dare to fan. Zhao looked at the heat for them, and he was afraid that if he continued like this, he would have to cover his prickly heat if he didn't suffer from heat stroke.

"This ......" is false to say that it is not hot, the emperor asked so, Chen Zeweng laughed and didn't know how to answer.

"You are still the same outsiders, you are like the previous dynasty, you don't have to be like this, everyone is casual when you change into regular clothes!" Zhao said with a smile.

"Brother, I said that there is no need to be like this, in Qiongzhou back then, His Majesty and we were also practicing shirtless, squatting on the deck and eating, and I didn't see anyone disrespectful to Your Majesty, but more and more respectful!" Chen Renweng's back was soaked with sweat, and he couldn't help complaining.

"It's okay, just follow Your Majesty!" Chen Zeweng was also uncomfortable with the heat, and when he thought about it, he just got off the donkey, but he made a reluctant look.

"Don't get hot, go change into your regular clothes!" Chen Renweng saw that his brother agreed, but several nephews still didn't dare to move, he was afraid of the eldest brother, but he was not afraid of them, and said sharply.

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty!" Only then did a few people dare to get up and retire and change clothes with their father.

"It seems that Mr. Ruizhou's family education is very strict, and no one dares to make a mistake!" Zhao looked at Chen Zeweng's eldest son and second son who were about the same age as Chen Renweng, but he didn't dare to be dissatisfied with his reprimand, and they were all as honest as cats.

"Your Majesty doesn't know something, my subordinates grew up with my brother, and since I was a child, he has often reprimanded me, even at the moment!" Chen Renweng didn't have the consciousness of being an old man, and watched his brother's back disappear outside the hall, so he complained to his son-in-law in a low voice.

"It's also a blessing to have my brother by my side to take care of me from time to time. The seven of my brothers were either taken away by the Tartars or died early, leaving me alone and struggling to support the court, not even a person to talk to! Zhao heard that he knew that he was sick when he sat down, but when no one reprimanded him, he would be uncomfortable. Thinking about himself again, he couldn't help but smile bitterly...... 2k reading web
