Chapter 2: Chen Lin is determined, brothers are united
The people of the Chen Mansion have been very curious these days, because the three young masters of the Chen family have not gone out to fight with others in the past few days, especially the eldest young master and the second young master. In the past few days, I have just played guns and fights with the nursing home every day, and when I am done, I mostly run to the old lady, and the four grandchildren are closed, and I don't know what to do.
After the family finished eating on this day, the old man Chen Li asked Chen Lin: "Lin'er, your mother told me these days that you won't go out to play, but is it true?" The prefectural magistrate was relieved and full of disbelief.
Chen Lin got up, bowed to his parents, and said to his father: "Father, the child has figured it out, in the past, he was mostly playing, not doing his job, and he was ashamed to teach his father and mother. The child wants to ask his father to invite a gentleman for the child, so that he can teach the child to learn the Four Books and the Five Classics, ancient and modern. The child should be the lintel of my Chen family. Next to him, Chen Ze Chen also bowed: "The child is also willing to move forward with the eldest brother and hope that his father will be fulfilled." ”
Chen Li was shocked when he heard this, and the Lin family hid his face and cried, both of them were afraid that they thought that my son had grown up. Chen Li couldn't help nodding, and just kept saying straightforwardly: "My son will eventually become enlightened, no matter what the cause is, but it is a good thing after all." Mr. Lu Yun Lu Zi'an, the county lord of our county, is a well-known Confucian scholar in Anyang County, and there are many county magistrates who are not directors. ”
Chen Lin heard that his father was willing to respond, and no matter who was invited, he bowed to his father again. Chen Li saw that he had fun and turned back, and he had the heart to learn. The mood is good, the family talks and laughs, so warm. Chen Lin also felt something, and secretly swore in his heart that no matter what Grandpa said was true or not, he would do his best to keep his family safe.
It turned out that although Mrs. Chen did not explain to the Chen Lin brothers what "crossing" was that day, she taught the three brothers in a serious manner, and told the Chen Lin brothers some future history as conjecture. This had a great impact on the three Chen brothers, especially Chen Lin, so the three brothers ran to the old lady for a few days. The old lady was also happy to see it, but he didn't want to say too much, so he gave Chen Lin an idea to invite Mr., and in the future, he would rely on his own hard work, and the old lady would continue to enjoy the old age.
At noon on the second day, Chen Lin was fighting with the nursing courtyard in the courtyard to compete in marksmanship. But seeing that the spear was seven or eight feet long, the head of the spear was sharp and cold, the body of the spear was flexible and round, and it danced, the cold stars were dotted, and the silver light shimmered, and the courtyard was * retreated again and again. In an instant, Chen Lin smashed the yellow dragon directly, and the flat gun stabbed forward, the courtyard could not turn back, and he couldn't retreat, he was about to be stabbed, but the head of the spear stopped at the flesh in front of the courtyard. Chen Lin put away his gun and hugged his fist: "Agreed" Next to Chen Ze, Chen Zhi and the two of them were full of worship. The courtyard was also generous, and it seemed that he had lost in the hands of Chen Lin, so of course, he also waved his fist and said: "The eldest young master's marksmanship is getting better and better, I'm afraid that only the captain can fight with you." ”
Chen Lin wanted to say something, but he heard Xiao Si shouting beside him, saying that Chen Li was back and asked Chen Lin to go to the front hall. Chen Lin guessed that this was most likely a response to Mr.'s matter, so he took the two brothers to the front hall. When I arrived in the front hall, I saw Chen Lizheng talking with a person, that person was oily and pot-bellied, about sixty years old, this person was the county Cheng of Anyang County, and also a famous Confucian scholar in Anyang, Lu Yun and Lu Zi'an.
Chen Lin led Chen Zechen to come forward to pay a visit, Chen Lin had seen Lu Yun before, so he recognized it. The old gentleman looked up at the three of them carefully, because the two of them were kneeling on the seat, and Chen Lin and the three of them were really tall, so they had to raise their heads. Chen Lin and the three of them dared to let Mr. look up and hurriedly sat down.
"The Chen family is a good fortune, and he has three sons, all of whom are good-looking talents." This seems to be said to Chen Li, and it seems to be natural to himself. Mr. Lu saw Chen Lin and the others looking at him straightly, and asked, "What do you want to learn?" Chen Lin hurriedly replied: "Mr. Wang taught me the Four Books and Five Classics, through the principles of the past and the present, the boy must study hard, and live up to Mr.'s teachings, so as to make contributions to my Han Dynasty in the future." ”
These words were said modestly, and Mr. Lu was also very satisfied: "Well, well, it's rare that you have this ambition, so the three of you will come to me every day to study for an hour." Seeing that the matter was over, Chen Lin was called back by Chen Li. Exiting the front hall, Chen Lin didn't know what he was thinking, Chen Zhi asked, "Will there be a gentleman tomorrow?" ”
Looking at the two brothers, Chen Lin thought to himself: In the future, there will be a fight, and the most reliable help should be his own brothers, not only to learn more, but also to supervise the growth of the two. Chen Ze is brave and brave, Chen is wise and brave, but if he doesn't hone and hone, how can he become a talent, and he should be an example as a big brother.
Thinking of this, Chen Lin said to the two: "Yes, my three brothers should be as Grandpa said, good men should strive for self-improvement, and our brothers should work together to break the gold, if Grandpa's guess is right, I will do my best to protect my Chen family, and Huzi Leizi will help me?" ”
Chen Ze and Chen were enthusiastic about what Chen Lin said, and they couldn't wait for the troubled times that Grandpa said to be coming soon, so that they could show their strengths and express their ambitions, the two of them held Chen Lin's hand forward, and said firmly in unison: "Protect my Chen family." After all, it is a young man's heart, and he is full of passion, but he doesn't know the misery of troubled times. It is the eldest brother who is determined to be brothers, and who knows how much future the three of them can have.
Chen Lin pressed the excitement in his heart and said to the two: "You wait and go to the Huang Nursing Institute to learn more tricks, and you can defend yourself in the future, I will go and talk to Grandpa, and there will be a gentleman tomorrow." ”
The Huang Nursing Home in Chen Lin's mouth is the current captain of the Chen family's nursing home, surnamed Huang Minglong, Tianshou, over forty years old, a Chinese-style bracelet and a tiger with a knife, a two-stone big iron bow on his shoulder, a steady and witty person, otherwise he would not be the head of the Chen family's nursing home.
Huang Long is an orphan bought by the old lady for more than 20 years, not only Huang Long, most of the Chen family's nursing homes and older family members have followed the old lady for many years, these people have made great contributions to the rise of the Chen family, so some of them have been rewarded by the old lady, and some have also become families.
Huang Long is one of them, Huang Long has a son, named Yan, who is 13 years old and is also a member of the Chen family. Like Huang Long, the old man of the Chen family, he is absolutely loyal to the old lady Chen, they only listen to the old lady's orders, and when necessary, they can even ignore Chen Li's words, unless the old lady speaks.
Chen Lin knocked on the door of the old lady Chen and made it in front of the old lady's bed.
"Your father is also well-intentioned, and invited Lu Zi'an to be Mr. for your brother, this Lu Zi'an is a Confucian master, and there is no one in this Anyang realm, and this is the best gentleman in a hurry. In this year, if you don't learn Confucianism, you can't become a scholar, and if you want to be an official in the future, you can only learn this Confucianism well, otherwise you can only be a martial artist, and you are not ashamed of being a scholar, and your career is not good. Old Lady Chen squinted and said.
Without waiting for Chen Lin to respond, Old Lady Chen said: "The Chen family has risen for decades, and although it is not as good as the Yuan family and the Zhou family in Runan County, it is also quite influential. Your father was engaged in Yuzhou, and then I also said to him, I would rather be the head of the chicken than the tail of the ox, so I came to Anyang as the county order. Now in Anyang County, except for the Zhang family who disobeys my Chen family, the rest are fine. ”
After Mrs. Chen finished speaking, she smiled at Chen Lin and continued, it seems that she has a lot of words today: "I am also fifteen years old this year, it's time to arrange a family affair for you, what do you think of the daughter of the Zhang family?" ”
Chen Lin was taken aback, not to mention that this little girl of the Zhang family had never even seen it, but only heard Zhang Ba, the boy of the Zhang family, say it a few times. Just said that the Zhang family is the only opponent of the Chen family in Anyang, and this will marry the daughter of the Zhang family again, which is ......
Old Lady Chen seemed to understand what Chen Lin was thinking: "Hehehe, I know what you are worried about, how can there be an eternal enemy in this world." The Zhang family only has a son and a daughter, the son Zhang Ba has a reckless personality, and he will not be your opponent in the future, which he Zhang family also understands, he is not afraid that the Zhang family's foundation will be taken by my Chen family in the future. ”
Chen Lin responded: "But it will be fulfilled by Grandpa." He stopped talking, he knew that Grandpa should have a lot to say to her today, he was the grandson of the Chen family, the future head of the family, and many things had to be considered for the Chen family. Besides, Chen Lin has too many things that he doesn't know and understand, his father Chen Li is dedicated to being an official, and the family affairs are still controlled by the old lady. Now the old lady may feel that she is getting old and has to slowly confess to Chen Lin. This is Chen Lin's obligation.
Old Lady Chen continued: "Most of the house slaves of the Chen family are my help over the years, and they are loyal to my Chen family, but many people are as old and powerful as Grandpa, and Huang Tianshou and several housekeepers in the nursing home can be trusted. ”
"Although there are some loyal servants of the Chen family, but the servants are servants after all, they are not as good as their own brothers, Huzi Leizi is your most solid help, you must remember not to suspect your brothers."
"Grandpa will give you a big gift, I want people to find hundreds of teenagers in various places, all of them are homeless orphans, and they are very clever. Now arranged in the countryside farm, in a few days, I will Tianshou and Yishan go to the countryside, and teach these children of the same age as you well, so that they can run and do things for you in the future. ”
This Tianshou is the Huanglong Nursing Hospital, and Yishan is the big housekeeper Chen Bao. Old lady Chen asked the most important scholar of the Chen Mansion to teach this group of teenagers, which shows the importance attached to Chen Lin's future team, and Chen Lin also understood that he was about to cry if he couldn't stop it, but he couldn't hold back after all.
"Lin Er, you are bold and unconventional, but you can be polite, very good, but remember not to let the world restrict your actions, remember to remember. Okay, I'm tired, you go out. ”
Chen Lin withdrew and was full of Grandpa's words, how can there be an eternal enemy in the world, don't let the world restrict your actions...... Chen Lin knew that there were too many things for him to learn. He knew that the old lady was completely paving the way for him now, whether it was marriage, entrusting him with his old family's slaves, or cultivating his own cronies, all of this was for Chen Lin to grow into a qualified leader quickly.
Thinking of this, Chen Lin clenched his fists and secretly swore that Grandpa, don't worry, Lin Er will not let you down. At this moment, Chen Lin's whole person's momentum is completely different, if it is said that the past is proud, Chen Lin will be more majestic in the future.
