Wen Qian on behalf of Qiantang County ordered less than half a year to expand the county with the official treasury money of 2 million, and the Chu family did not intend to hide it in this matter, because the crime of expanding the county house is very light, that is, the removal of officials, and it has little impact on the Chu family. So even people like the Lu family have become scholars, it's really a big joke in the world, such a big case Wu County Chenglang Chu Jian didn't report to the state office, and the case was hastily closed, there must be another secret in it, and it was very urgent to track down and collect evidence-

Chu Jian's heart was shocked, he knew that if the Chu family fell into the quagmire of the Lu family's impostoring of the scholar registration case, then the entire family would completely collapse, maybe the scholar status would be deprived, Chu Jian must not sit back and watch the family fall to that step of the field, Gou Jian can taste the in the Golden Palace, Han Xin forbears the humiliation of **, how can he Chu Wenqian not be quiet, wait to get through the current difficulties, and then plan later?

On April 11, the drizzle continued, Chu Jian took his nephew Chu Wenqian and son Chu Wenbin to Chenjiawu in the rain to ask to see Chen Xian, the patriarch of the Chen clan.

After all, the Chu family is a big family, Chu Jian is a six-grade Chenglang, Jiwei is still there, Chen Xian, Chen Man, and Chen Shang dare not slack off, please enter the ancestral hall to talk.

Chu Jian was heartbroken, and reprimanded his nephew Chu Wenqian and son Chu Wenbin in front of Chen Xian and others, and tried to say that the contradiction between the two of them and Chen Caozhi was a misunderstanding, and then put all the other blame on the head of the dead Master Lu Chen Liu's evil deeds were all instigated by Master Lu, Chu Jian's voice was full of emotion, and he said in a low voice: "——Cao Zhi is in Wu County, Chu has also recommended him in many ways, saying that Cao Zhi is my Qian Tang young talent, and the celebrities of Wu County have to hear the name of Cao, which is really from Chu Mou, and he is also a townsman, and it is incumbent on him to reward the backwards, but there are many misunderstandings afterwards, To this day, the Chen family, the Chu family is the water and fire family, and the Chu family are all Qian and Tang clans, and they should get along with each other, these days, because of the case of the expansion of the county house by the nephew, Chu is worried, and now Shangguan has investigated the case of Lu's naturalization of the Lu family last year, and the family has been confiscated from the family's wealth and property, and the clan is in a miserable situation, and now the old case is retried, I am afraid that it will arouse the great resentment of the Lu clan, and the Chen's new entry into the scholar should still be on good terms with the county Shishu, and there should be no incident, what does Chen Gong think? ”

Chen Xian said vaguely: "Chu Chenglang is right. ”

Chen Shang said lightly: "The thorough investigation of the Lu clan's impostor case was jointly requested by other scholars in this county, how can it be said that my Chen clan caused an incident?" ”

Chu Jian hurriedly accompanied: "Chu doesn't mean this, Chu is saying that the reputation of Chen's new entry into the scholar is growing, and it should play a pivotal role in the affairs of this county, this Lu case is too wide, and the big trouble has a very bad impact on the reputation of my Qian Tang clan, Wang Neishi attaches great importance to it, and it should be for the benefit of Xiangzi, and lobby Wang Neishi Mo to investigate this case again, so that the reputation of Caozhi in this county will be unmatched——"

Speaking of this, Chu clapped his hands and an entourage came in with a stack of books.

Chu Jian said: "Chen's new entry into the scholarhood, there is nothing to congratulate, here is the contract and book of ten hectares of fertile land, and Chu Mou gave away these twenty hectares of fertile land. ”

Chen Xian and Chen were shocked. They looked at each other and saw the fertile fields. This congratulatory gift is extremely heavy, and the land and land obtained by the Tang Chen family this time are only twenty hectares. Chu Jian raised his hand and gave away 20 acres of land, which can be described as magnificent.

Chen Man's eyes were eager. whispered to his brother Chen Xian: "The fourth brother is quiet. Both phases benefit. Wouldn't it be good? ”

Chen Xian is generous. felt that Chu Jianken was so humble and courteous to talk to Chen. I can't afford to refuse it. But I felt that it was inappropriate to receive Chu's generous gifts in this way. He hesitated and did not answer.

Chen Shangdao: "Daddy, sixth uncle." This has to be consulted by the sixteenth brother. After all, this is to ask the sixteenth brother to go to the king's internal history to talk about the land. ”

Chen Xian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. "Yes." The matter is still up to the decided. ”

Chu Jian knew that Chen Caozhi was the person who could really get ideas from Qian Tang Chen. Chen Xian passed this pass. I'm afraid Chen Caozhi didn't have such a good place to talk. Then he said: "Chu is about to visit Chen Caozhi, the great sage of this county. Annoyed Chen Gong to go with me. ”

Chen Shangdao: "There is a Bali Road to the Jade Emperor Mountain, and the family is strict, so let Chu Chenglang and the two Chu Langjun go down." ”

Chu Jian looked at Chen Xian and said deeply: "Chen Gong-" is quite pitiful.

Chen Xian saw that Chu Jian, who had always been arrogant, was humble and humble, and hurriedly said: "Okay, the old man will accompany Chu Chenglang, these field books can't be collected, Chu Chenglang will take it back first." ”

The drizzle is continuous, the road is muddy, Chu Jian takes an ox cart, but he drinks his son Chu Wenbin to walk in the rain, Chu Wenqian, for the time being, is still the head of a county, although he is also walking, and he wears an embroidered hat, so as not to be too embarrassed, Chu Wenbin is drenched, his face is like soil, and the tips are dripping down, and a strong sense of humiliation is suppressed in his heart, hating Qian Tang Chen's family and hating Chen Caozhi to the extreme.

Chen Xian didn't want to go, and said to Chu Jian: "Chu Chenglang, let Ling Lang take the car, and Chu Fujun, this is not a system." ”

Chu Jian said: "Let them walk, it's good to suffer some hardships, they have had with them before, and they should be punished." ”

Near noon, Chen Caozhi was in the grass shed for Ran Sheng

The burly Ran Sheng sat there motionless, smiling and posing for self-recognition, but under Chen Caozhi's brush, the young Ran Sheng was with horizontal eyebrows and muscles-

Chen Caozhi smiled and said, "Xiao Sheng, I'll draw some beards for you." ”

Ran Sheng was shocked: "Don't, I don't want a beard." ”

Chen Caozhi said: "With your majestic physique, if you don't draw a beard, you always feel that something is missing, anyway, after two years, you will definitely be full of beard." ”

Ran Sheng touched his chin and said with a sad face: "Little lady Run'er said that if I have a beard, let me stay away from her." ”

Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "If you are far away, you will be far away, you are still children now, and when you grow up, you will naturally have a difference between men and women." ”

Chu's uncle and nephew arrived at the eaves of the grass shed at this time, Chu Wenqian's clothes were wet except for his head, Chu Wenbin was even more rainy, his face was blue, and the hem of the white silk shirt was full of mud spots-

Ran Sheng and Laide opened their mouths wide, and looked at Chu's uncle and nephew in a daze, not understanding what they were doing with such an embarrassed appearance!

Chen Caozhi's brows: frowned, then stretched out, and said politely: "It turned out to be Chu Chenglang, Chu Fujun, and Brother Wen Bin, I don't know what you are doing here?" ”

Chu Jian saw Chen Caozhi, who was sloppy and handsome, and couldn't help but be a little more humble, and said with a smile: "Chu Mou has come to ask for sin, and I hope to bear with him in the past, after all, they are both townspeople, and they get along in harmony." He said to Chen Xian again: "Gong Chen, please say a few good words for me Chu in front of my nephew, Chu is sincere and sincere to take the blame." ”

Chen Xian hurriedly said: "How dare you dare, Chu Chenglang is serious." The loyal and kind old patriarch invited the three of the Chu family to sit down in the grass shed, and explained his intention to Chen Caozhi on behalf of Chu Jian.

Chen Caozhi was silent, looking at Chu Jian, Chu Wenqian, and Chu Wenbin's demeanor, Chu Jianpi didn't smile, Chu Wenqian's face was full of frustration, and Chu Wenbin's embarrassment occasionally showed resentment——

Knowing Chu's intention, Chen Cao said: "Why should Chu Chenglang be so humble, ask me how to ask for the history of the king, I and the history of the king are only one side, I am a body of filial piety, how can I speak in front of the history of the king." ”

Chu Jian said: "You only need to say to the king Shi Guan on behalf of the virtuous nephew of Cao, whether it is successful or not, Chu is the same acknowledgement."

”

Chen Caozhi couldn't help but feel disgusted when he heard Chu Jian call his virtuous nephew, and said lightly: "Zi said, 'repay grievances with directness, repay virtue with virtue', what does Chu Chenglang think of this statement?" ”

Chu Jian was stunned, a touch of lust flashed away, and said with a smile: "Since the virtuous nephew of Cao is unwilling to forgive, then Chu will not say more, and the virtuous nephew is willing to repay his grievances directly, which shows Shengde." Although Chen Caozhi refused, he did not leave immediately, and talked with Chen Caozhi until the rain stopped more than half an hour later.

Chen Xianzhong is long, feel that Chu Jian is so good, but he doesn't appreciate it at all, he is a little sorry, and personally sent Chu Jian and the three of them down the mountain, and went back to Chenjiawu for lunch together. ”

Chen Xian was not good at prevarication, and watched Chu Jian leave the land book contract and leave.

Chen Man was greedy for money and advocated accepting Chu's kindness, but Chen Shang said that he could not accept Chu's land and gifts, and should send someone back.

Chen Xian said: "Let's go and ask Caozhi-"

Chen Man said dissatisfiedly: "You have to ask about everything, this is not a big deal, the fourth brother and I are the eldest people in the clan, so we can't decide?" ”

Chen Xian said unhappily: "Sixth brother, twenty hectares of land is by no means a trivial matter, our Qian Tang Chen clan can have today, almost because of the strength of one person, it is stable and strategic, this matter naturally has to be consulted with him." ”

Chen Man stopped talking, and at this moment, Chen Xian's youngest son, Chen Tan, came to report that the sixteenth brother had returned.

Chen Caozhi rushed back to congratulate his sister-in-law and Run'er on their birthdays, April 11 is Ding Youwei and Run'er's birthday, Ding Youwei is twenty-eight years old this year, Run'er is eight years old, and the mother and daughter are twenty years apart, but they were born on the same month and day-

Chen Caozhi heard that the fourth uncle had an urgent call, so he did not go back to the West Building, first came to the ancestral hall, heard that Chu Jian insisted on sending Chen's twenty hectares of fertile land, smiled, and said: "Fourth uncle, sixth uncle, Chu Jian is uneasy and kind, I have already refused to say for him, why do you still give us such a generous gift?" These deeds and books can't be kept, third brother, you work hard, and immediately send them to the Wang's internal history, please don't make a noise about the king's internal history for the time being, and see how the Chu family behaves! ”
