Back in Dengzhou, the Chen family did not go back to the old house, Chen Xiujie rented a two-entry courtyard in Penglai, and the family lived for the time being. Compared with other officials of the same level, Chen Xiujie's wave is a little shabby. Of course, the family has no opinion on such an arrangement, and for the Songxi Chen family, they don't have any grudges, but they don't like the atmosphere over there at all. The old lady of the Chen family gave up her identity as the eldest daughter-in-law to run the family, and the reason was that she wanted to give Chen Xiujie a better growth environment, so as not to be disturbed by the yin and yang things in the family.

Then again, because of Chen Ji's actions years ago, the ownership of the old mansion is also a little embarrassing. Chen Ji listened to some idleness from Chen Guo, and did not delve too deeply, probably the seventh uncle who now owns part of the contract of his old mansion, has actually found Chen Xiujie in private and expressed his willingness to return the house, but there is also a so-called "favor return" behind this willingness. I also think that the specific Chen Ji will be asked with Chen Xiujie before talking. At least it was a moth in his hand, and he should come forward to make up for it.

And he has always been a good man who respects the old and loves the young.

After talking to the old lady for a while, Chen Wenxuan went out once, and when she came back, there was Lin Yunyi by her side.

Chen Ji used to salute, but he didn't ask anything, he was a junior, and he wanted to put himself in the framework of "ceremony". What's more, for Lin Yunyi, he still respects it in his heart, a woman who is willing to give up her opportunity as a mother for Chen Xiujie and take care of the housework for Chen Xiujie wholeheartedly, should also be respected.

After sitting down again, Chen Ji basically stopped talking, and sat respectfully on the side, holding a plate of melon seeds, which was very fragrant.

At the end of the tea party, Chen Wenxuan accompanied Lin Yunyi to leave first, and Chen Ji deliberately left behind, just in time to remember one thing. So after Chen Wenxuan left, Chen Ji cautiously approached the old lady and asked, "Grandma, has that Sun Jiayu in the south ever come to me?"

The old man didn't think much about it, and although he usually didn't ask about family affairs, he was much more familiar with the name, and said at the moment: "I've been here a few times, but grandma hasn't seen anyone."

Chen Ji sighed.

The old man thought it was a good friend of Chen Ji, but he was afraid that Chen Ji had finally made a friend, because his slightly cold statement would cause a gap, so he added another sentence, saying: "That child will give a gift every festival, and he is a well-behaved child."

Chen Ji sighed again, a little sad.

The old man saw it and asked, "What?" Aren't we friends with him? ”

After all, there are many people who want to climb the Chen family recently.

Chen Ji smiled bitterly: "I'm worried that he doesn't mean to be drunk."

The old man was slightly stunned, and quickly reacted, "Brother Xi'er, you have to have a snack, your sister finally walked out, but you can't fall into it again." ”

Chen Ji nodded solemnly, "I'll say something selfish to my grandmother, don't tell Sister Xuan." ”

The old man laughed, "You say."

"I'm going to have someone help check that guy's details."

Chen Ji looked up at his grandmother, the old man didn't speak, and he continued: "There may be some small temptations."

Seeing that he was so cautious, the old man quipped, "What's the matter? We are not afraid of the heavens and the earth, but now we all know that we are afraid? ”

Chen Ji scratched his head and said, "Eat a trench and grow a wisdom."

The old man rubbed Chen Ji's brain lovingly, and sighed lightly, "Your sister's matter, grandma also wants to help Zhang Luo, but the words of the previous parents' matchmaker ended up harming the child, and in this situation, grandma is guilty." Brother Ji'er, now that you have a claim, let's take a look, this family will be handed over to you sooner or later. ”

Chen Ji bowed, "Grandma is the best." ”

The old man was slightly annoyed, "You kid, can't you smear honey on your mouth?" will say something nice. ”

——

In the front yard, Chen Ji found Chen Wenxuan and said something about the fetus, Chen Ji asked Chen Wenxuan to send Lin Yunyi the soup every day, which itself is to nourish the body, so it can be said that it has been replenished for a long time, although he is pregnant, he should also pay attention to daily nutrition, in short, it is a reasonable diet, not as before, taking too much tonics.

Having a baby at this age is the most terrible thing, if the child absorbs too much nutrients from the mother's body and grows too healthy, the result may not be a good result.

Chen Ji said some key points, Chen Wenxuan was stunned at first, and then Chen Ji found a pen and paper and wrote a bunch of them in an orderly manner, she only believed it a little, and occasionally participated, and now the woman's perspective makes some additions.

Chen Ji didn't really understand these things, but based on the knowledge of later generations, starting from the current medical environment, he made some early warnings. Therefore, do not forget to repeat during the period" can be used as a reference, but you still have to listen to the doctor. ”

Chen Wenxuan can discern herself.

Chen Ji noticed the loneliness on his sister's face, and knew that his sister remembered her lost child, so she didn't say anything anymore, but told a story about a certain time and space.

Chen Wenxuan finally shook his head and said: "If you are in your twenties and haven't gotten married, don't you want to poke people in the back?"

Chen Ji smiled: "In short, Sister Xuan, you must know that your age is the most youthful time for women."

Chen Wenxuan snorted, and poked it with a finger, "Poor mouth." ”

Chen Ji smirked.

Chen Wenxuan put aside the knot in her heart, probably unwilling to waste her brother's intention to make up a story to coax herself.

——

At dinner, the family gathered together and had a serious meal, although Chen Xiujie had not come back yet.

After the meal, Chen Ji pulled a small stool and sat in the courtyard, looking at the door stupidly.

When night fell, Chen Xiujie came with his hands in his hands. When he arrived at the door, he was obviously stunned for a moment, Chen Ji had already gotten up to greet him, went around to the back of his father, looked behind him for a while, and sighed: "I am the prefect, how can it be a bridge with eight lifts, a four-horse car, the two gongs in front of me are knocking, and the yacha is holding a quiet and evasive big sign to open the way, and the left and right civil and military champions are waiting...... How did you get here, everything is so simple? Just stared at the hem of Lao Chen's clothes, "Don't you always think you're young?" Decent foot strength? ”

Chen Xiujie raised his hand and patted it, "Foul language." ”

Chen Ji dodged back, "You don't hurt me anymore as an aunt?" Can I see you hit me? ”

Chen Xiujie's old face was stunned for a while, and she scolded: "Stinky boy, it's getting more and more unlooking."

Chen Ji turned around and closed the door, Chen Xiujie had already asked, "Have you seen it all?"

"Well, I've seen it, the good and the bad, I've counted them."

Chen Xiujie bowed his head and said, "This time you came here suddenly, really just to see me?"

"Of course not? It mainly depends on grandma and Sister Xuan. ”

Chen Xiujie scratched her forehead, she didn't feel that her son was so "eloquent" before, the point was that he was not so brazen. Ke is right, it's cheeky.

Chen Ji didn't know that his father gave him such a pertinent evaluation.

"I don't ask about your affairs in the officialdom, and you don't have a good time asking about my affairs, some involvement, I'm afraid it won't be smooth for your career."

Chen Xiujie sighed, "Look at what you can, do you really think that your cheekiness can earn you a cabinet minister?" ”

Chen Ji obviously knows how to climb up the ladder very well, and should be: "It's not impossible, when you have money in the future, you can buy one." I've read in books that presidents can buy it. ”

"The president? How big is that? I haven't heard of it, I'm afraid it's a bad official......"

Chen Ji sighed twice.

Chen Xiujie's eyes plucked over, "What?" ”

"Nothing? Lao Chen has insight. ”

Chen Xiujie almost couldn't resist kicking over, and thought that he would definitely hide from that kid, so he took it back. I was thinking about how to surprise and give a kick.

He said with concern: "I told you a long time ago, don't read those messy books, the remarks of so many famous people in the subset of classics and history, which one is not a hundred times better than the one you read?" Our old Chen family, shameless? ”

Chen Ji said bitterly: "It's not that your old man is too powerful, even if you take the Jinshi exam, your ranking is still so high!"

"Yo, is it wrong for Lao Tzu to read well?"

Chen Ji grabbed his ears and tugged, "My fault, my fault, how can you not?" ”

Lao Chen's eyes were quick, and he kicked out, Chen Ji tilted his butt and fell to the side, "It seems that I have to talk to you about family law." ”

Chen Ji wanted to cry without tears, and said back: "Insidious."

Chen Xiujie got up, looked at Chen Ji for a while, and sighed: "The years are unforgiving, you are so old in a blink of an eye, your mother left early, she failed to beat your part, I am a father, I should make up for it!" Hey, when I am a father and a mother, the palms and backs of my hands are just meat, but as the old saying goes, filial piety comes out under the stick, I have been studying for decades, and I have never doubted the words of the sage......"

Chen Ji took a sip and got up, "If you are a son, please be a father!" ”

……

On the fifth day of the second lunar month, Chen Ji finally finished taking care of his family's affairs and had to go to Dengzhou Port to see his new water weaver. Although he came with Song Qingming, because of the temporary change of itinerary, Chen Ji was more than half a month behind, and then he arrived in Dengzhou, and in the past few days, he has spent time comforting the elders in the family, and now he has made time to go to Dengzhou Port.

Song Qingming has been more annoying these days, and the difficulty of carrying out work is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also because of the embarrassing things he has to face at this embarrassing age. I don't know which bastard threw out his news, and lately people have been coming to his door to tell him stories. Don't forget to ask him if he has a favorite object. Among these people, many of them are the hosts of Dengzhou, who are either rich or noble, and even these local clans, including the Chen family.

Song Qingming had a headache, and he didn't know how many times he scolded in his heart, he really couldn't be regarded as a person, not a son of man.

Song Qingming's current official residence, located on the north bank of the port, was originally a fish mill, and is currently allocated to the Denglai Sailor as a residence. Except for some of the original fishmongers who were willing to join the sailors, the others had been cleared out and resettled. Song Qingming has the identity of a hundred households, and he can have a small mansion here, of course, now there are few soldiers in the entire water division except for officials, and the huge place is also up to them.

At present, the entire Thousand Households of the Third Brother of the Water Master are still in ruins, and only the one subordinate to Fang Jingyu has already pulled up the framework. As the head of the guard of a hundred households, even if there is frequent chaos in this temporary residence, no one who is not long-sighted dares to come and fight with him.

As the best commander, Fang Jingyu didn't seem to have any way to deal with these situations, so he could only let them go.

In this way, it naturally encourages the evil thoughts of some people.

Song Qingming's current main task is actually to keep an eye on these guys, and when the real sailor pulls them up, of course, some of them will be stripped off like carrion. A pamphlet has now been written. Song Qingming felt that he was really a little uncertain about himself.

The few flag officers on duty under him, of course, secretly also hold the position of 100 households, all of which are Fang Jingyu's colleagues on the battlefield in Liaodong, saying that they are temporarily assigned to help train sailors, but in fact, everyone knows that this is just a chance to give Fang Jingyu a chance to help.

A few old men came over, and they may have been a little resentful at first, but now they think it's very interesting. In the smoky place of Denglai Water Division, they are all under the name of "supervising the war", and there will be no less fun. As for the relationship behind these second ancestors, as far as these veterans who came down from the most tragic battlefield are all alone, how can they dare not pick them up?

Therefore, after Fang Jingyu explained this task, they all gladly accepted the order, but for Song Qingming, the direct commander, they must still have ideas for a while.

Since its establishment, few people have come over several times.

Song Qingming was not annoyed, and still wrote it down in a small notebook. Later, whether it was thrown to Fang Jingyu or Chen Ji, in short, he didn't have to worry about Song Qingming.

The days are still good, but the fishy smell is too strong, and if you want to get used to it, I'm afraid it's difficult.

There was a commotion outside the wooden fence, Song Qingming got up and went out, and the previous voice had already reached him.

Chen Ji sighed twice, "It's really as deep as the sea, it's so difficult to see you." ”

Song Qingming waved his hand and sent away the soldiers who were blocking the road, who were currently members of his sailor division, and were practicing Chen Ji's training system, starting from the most basic standing guard.

"I already know the general situation, you're doing a good job here, since you have an excuse, why give those guys a chance? You're not going to learn from those guys who beat the sticks? Look at how powerful people are! ”

Song Qingming sighed, "It's really amazing, how do you know?" ”

"It's a rumor."

"You believe it?"

"Believe it or not, it's the same, in short, they were beaten with a stick, those guys were angry, but they didn't have the courage to stop the rumors, this is what people are capable of."

"It's not a gentleman's doing."

"Good girl, Grand Gentleman Song, do you know how much silver you have spent on me in just one month?"

Song Qingming turned around and entered the house, not wanting to pick up this stubble.

Chen Ji chased after him, "I know that the old saying says that if you want a horse to run, you have to give the horse grazing, but now the horse is patronizing and grazing, but he doesn't take two steps." ”

"Recruits need to train on land for the time being.".

". Do you look at your office conditions here? Training is not only about tactical formations, but also about infrastructure, so you won't take someone to do it here? In the future, this will be a military port, just like this? Aren't you ashamed? I wish you kid used that lot of money to build the port, and when it comes to it in the future, it will be magnificent, and it will look beautiful, and Lao Tzu will have the confidence to ask Xu Guogong for money, right? ”

Song Qingming plucked out his ears, it was really noisy.
