On this day, Bai Lian was called by Lin Wenjuan to go to the Lin Mansion to speak, and she also wondered why Lin Wenjuan had just returned to Chen's house and returned to her parents' house not long after, and just after passing the corridor, she heard crying, scolding, and begging for mercy, making a mess.

Lin Zhang sat on the rose chair, rubbing his temples with his eyes closed, looking unbearable.

Ah Chun dragged Lin Wenjuan desperately to prevent her from going down the steps, the ground was full of broken tea cup vase fragments, she even threw out her shoes, in case she broke her foot, she couldn't afford it.

Ah Yun sat paralyzed on the ground, and after crying, he was already exhausted, staring blankly at the ground, waiting for his fate to come. She didn't know how it was like this, she just whispered a few words to Chen Heng at the door of Lin Wenjuan's bedroom, and Lin Wenjuan found out that she had a problem with Chen Heng, and she couldn't hide the fact that she became a concubine, but Ah Yun never thought of hiding it, Chen Heng said that he would tell Lin Wenjuan in person.

Chen Heng stood not far from them with his hands down, looking at everything that happened just now, and he didn't stop it, and he didn't even ask a word. He was actually thinking about what his mother had told him before, they were still poor now, and he didn't have any official position, marrying an eldest lady was equivalent to bringing all the troubles to the family, and he didn't believe it at first.

Lin Wenjuan is indeed not a gentle girl, so he is like a demon, listening to his mother's instigation, and privately accepting the docile and obedient Ayun as a concubine, as long as he has an official position, the Lin family will not say anything, anyway, aren't these girls all prepared for themselves?

But he forgot that the premise of all this is that he must have an official position.

His eyes were dilated, everything happened very strangely, he did not get the top ten in the big test, but within thirty, the emperor held a banquet on the second day of the seventh month, wanting to reward these students.

But somehow, news came again, saying that the banquet was not going to be held, and asked him to go back and wait for news, but this morning, the school's mansion, his own uncle told him who had just stepped into the house, after the banquet, all the students had arrangements, only him, had a bye! He is no longer proud, but disgraced!

Chen Heng was at a loss and couldn't accept it, but who could he ask for? I had to come early in the morning to meet my father-in-law, but Lin Dongyue is the county magistrate of Hui County, so there should be a way to inquire about some news about himself, right?

Lin Wenjuan looked at the two below, one was aggrieved, and the other was even more aggrieved, and she couldn't wait for everyone to die together, anyway, she couldn't let this dog man and woman be happy! Ah Yun has been by her side since she was a child, and she is the person she relies on and trusts the most, how can she betray herself? Even if she has any crooked thoughts, she can't take her turn? She is so wooden, not as good as Ah He and spicy, not as clever as Ah Chun, how can she be her? She was disgusted at the thought of what had happened to these two people on the way to Xiyue City.

"Chen Heng!" Lin Zhang finally spoke.

"Mother-in-law." Chen Heng still didn't move, and stood in place to salute.

"Ah Yun, this child, I know, there is nothing bad about it, her hands and feet are clean and neat, compared to Ah and Ah Chun, she is also the most secure, don't look at the three of them are orphans, compared to those two, she is the most likable, she doesn't have the slightest idea, but others are always willing to protect her. Originally, I thought, Wen Juan married you, and in a few years, find a good family to arrange them well, it can be regarded as they served Wen Juan carefully, and they can't treat them badly, since you have taken a fancy to them, it is not a bad thing, this fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, after all, she was also raised in the Lin family, this concubine is not a bad treatment for her, and Wen Juan is not a child, they are still sisters. ”

"Mother! Are you crazy! What are you talking about! What a concubine! What sisters! It's clear that the old woman is putting me along! Disgusting me while I'm not at home, why are you really serious? ”

"Shut up! That's your mother-in-law! Lin Zhang shouted with anger suppressed.

Lin Wenjuan looked at Lin Zhang's threatening eyes, and immediately stopped her mouth, and even her heartbeat slowed down. Yes, that was Chen's mother's arrangement, that is, her mother-in-law's arrangement, and the elder's arrangement, how could she question it? She looked at Ah Yun and asked with suppressed anger, "Why?" ”

Seeing that Ah Yun didn't speak, she was full of anger and really wanted to burn her clean, Bai Lian suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled it back hard, there are some things, don't ask so clearly, especially people like Chen Heng, who lost face in the Lin Mansion, and it was Lin Wenjuan who suffered.

"That's it!" Lin Zhang got up, didn't look at Lin Wenjuan, and said to Bai Lian, "Help her in." ”

But she didn't want Lin Wenjuan to shake off Bai Lian and Ah Chun's hands, and sneered: "No matter what your idea is, he is mine!" If I don't agree, you don't want to get even half a step closer to him! Since you are willing to be lowly, I will fulfill you, but from now on, without my consent, you are not allowed to see Chen Heng or talk to him, otherwise, I will definitely sell you to those dark places! Let you survive and die! Do you hear me? ”

Ah Yun trembled for a moment, and replied softly, "Yes." At this moment, she woke up. Even if the eldest lady is still as delicate and willful as in the Lin Mansion? She is still the eldest lady of the county magistrate's family, and Chen Heng will not fall out with the eldest lady because of her, a slave.

And she is not what Lin Zhang said, she has no idea to be moved by Chen Heng's words, she really yearns for this kind of life when she teaches her husband and children, she even thinks that Lin Wenjuan and Chen Heng have a bad relationship, and they will be happy to see her to maintain this relationship, after all, she really has no selfishness.

"Alright." Lin Zhang waved his hand, "Hurry up and take her down." ”

Lin Wenjuan was just about to break free, but Bai Lian hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her hand, and together with Ah Chun, she was pulled out of the yard.

"You can pack your things now and go back first, and you don't have to come back later." Lin Zhang turned his head and stopped looking at Ah Yun.

Ah Yun kowtowed and staggered up, from today on, she is not a member of the Lin family, but a member of Chen Heng, but the lost back did not fall in Chen Heng's eyes.

I only heard Lin Zhang's say: "Wen Juan is a little ignorant, but fortunately, in the Lin family, it will be okay if the anger is gone, you are a man, you have to tolerate her more, when you have an official position, let Wen Juan pick a few more hearty ones for you, this is not a big deal, we as elders also understand in our hearts, you go to the study and wait for your father-in-law, you are a smart child, what to say and what to do, I believe you know better than me." ”

Chen Heng's heart was still thinking, Ah Yun, who was still shy and lovely in his arms last night, was now so depressed, and his heart was aggrieved and unwilling, if, if he had an official position, then would he be able to say something at this moment? At least you won't let Lin Zhang talk to himself so domineeringly?

Before he could come to his senses, the yard was already clean, as if nothing had happened just now. He felt humiliated, but he still had to accept the vexatious trouble from Lin Wenjuan and the contempt of Lin Zhang, and what news would Lin Dongyue bring back? He was really scared.

Geely passed by the small garden, and when he saw Chen Heng who was rushing towards him, he was about to salute, but when he saw Chen Heng, he walked away as if he didn't see him.

When Lin Wenhai heard this, he just shook his head, his willful and reckless sister really agreed to Ah Yun as a concubine, is it true that after marrying, she will put her husband's family first?

Lin Zhang's didn't want to listen to Lin Wenjuan's crying anymore, so he drove her back to his yard that night and didn't see her again. Lin Wenjuan didn't want to, Ah Chun said it badly, and took the risk of being beaten to change everything in the bedroom, inside and out, and asked people to go back to Lin Zhang's family, which coaxed Lin Wenjuan into the room. Thanks to Bai Lian's presence, she went to the kitchen to cook some of her favorite food and served her dinner, which allowed Lin Wenjuan to sleep peacefully.

......

Early the next morning, Lin Wenhai prepared the carriage, and regardless of Lin Wenjuan's crying, he pressed her into the carriage and returned to Chen's house.

Chen Heng was still waiting for Lin Dongyue's news in the study, and when he heard that Lin Wenhai personally sent Lin Wenjuan back, he turned a deaf ear.

It was Ah He, who heard that Lin Wenjuan was back, and ran out of the kitchen no matter how Chen's mother spilled. Ah He, who used to be clever and ingenious, has fair cheeks and hands, but in a month, he has become rough and sallow, and even his body has lost a circle.

Lin Wenhai didn't get off the horse, he was a little angry, although his sister married into the Chen family, but after all, these maids are still surnamed Lin, this Chen's mother is indeed too inferior, and it is no wonder that Lin Wenjuan has been arguing for three days to go back to her parents' house.

"What about Chen Heng?" He opened his mouth to ask Ah He.

"Back to the young master, I am in the study with Ah Yun."

Ah Chun pinched her hard when he heard this, Ah He cried out in pain, but he also understood why. said: "What can't be said, it's no secret, you look at the four spirits in this neighborhood, which one doesn't know what the Chen family has done!" Seeing that our young lady went out to visit relatives, before my uncle went to Xiyue City, she forced Ah Yun to make him a concubine. Ah Yun is also stupid! Her marriage is a major event, not to mention that the young lady is the master for her, but also the lady and the old lady! It's not the Chen family's turn to take care of it! ”

As soon as the words fell, the onlookers began to whisper.

"Huh? That's not right! Didn't this sister-in-law Chen say that her daughter-in-law returned to her parents' house because of Chen Heng's concubine? ”

"What's the reason for taking a concubine, this Lin family doesn't want to marry the Chen family at all, and the wedding cakes brought are all sour, deliberately making the Chen family ugly, saying that it is because Chen Heng is unwilling to come to the door."

"Money! Sister-in-law Chen looked at Chen Heng as if she was a baby, and when she saw Tian'er, she said that she would become a big official in the future, how could she be rich! Who do you listen to? It's wrong, it's because of the concubine, you said that the daughter-in-law came to the door with three delicate girls, isn't it just to be a concubine. Chen Heng will have a future in the future, what is the value of receiving a house, I think in the future, it is possible to find another wife, doesn't it mean that the county magistrate has started to do business. ”

When Lin Wenjuan ran away in anger, she didn't think about it so much, and she didn't expect that there would be so many unbelievable rumors in the market. Her face was flushed with anger, but it had already happened, and nothing she could say could change the situation.

"Who gave you the audacity to criticize the county magistrate behind your back! Believe it or not, the Lin family has arrested you all and put you in the county jail! "Ah He has heard enough of this nonsense these days.

The sister-in-law didn't follow it, glanced at her, and said: "Ouch, it's worthy of being from the county magistrate's house, it's such a big shelf, I'm so scared, these days, I can be arrested if I don't do anything." ”

"Presumptuous!" Lin Wenhai looked at him coldly, and the sister-in-law stopped talking.

"Alright, sister-in-law. You are living a good life, the eldest brother loves you so much, and the two children are also promising in Taixue, how can you encounter these bad things. If you want me to say, whose life has passed, I haven't seen Sister-in-law Chen's daughter-in-law, but that is called Ah He, but what about a good girl, you forgot, last time in Taixue, your Hu'er and Shun'er were left in the hall by my family, and the time was too late to see the road clearly and fell. ”

"Didn't you send it to the hospital and then send it back?"

"It's someone Ah He, I happened to be passing by."

"That's your son." Ah He said, "It's good, my brother didn't cry when he bleed, and my brother also knows how to find someone to help." ”

The woman was a little embarrassed when she heard her praise her son like this, coughed a few times, and hurriedly left with the green screen next to her. Green Screen is Fu Cheng's daughter-in-law, speaking of which, she is still a concubine with the Chen family's mother-in-law, but Green Screen is usually very popular, but this sister-in-law is the most pungent master in several streets, but it is the best with Green Screen, as soon as the two of them leave, there is no chewing tongue, and the crowd will naturally disperse.

Lin Wenhai said: "Go and call Chen Heng out." ”

Ah He hadn't moved yet, and Chen's mother came.

"It turned out that the eldest young master of the Lin family was here, why, did you send the eldest lady back? Don't lose your temper anymore? ran to her mother's house two times in three days, and did you know whose daughter-in-law she was? It's long since I'm not surnamed Lin, and I'm still so arrogant! ”

"No surname Lin, surname Chen! I said that you old woman just can't understand people! Ah He felt that his patience had reached the limit. Regardless of whether it is Lin Wenjuan's fault or not, Chen's mother-in-law, as a mother-in-law, is not necessarily right, especially when this old lady hit Ah Yun with a crooked idea, and this Ah Yun really agreed obediently.

Lin Wenhai said coldly: "If she can understand people's words, the seat of Fu Cheng should still be occupied by Chen Weilai." She should be a little more ignorant, so that Chen Jiang knows that Chen Heng is her son, and the son has a mother, and he will have a little more worries about the big test. ”

It is said that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, but Chen's sister-in-law is not very kind to the younger brother-in-law, so when Chen Heng's father, Chen Wei was accidentally killed, the new mansion arrived, and after a long time, Chen knew that Chen Jiang had taken Chen Wei's lack of children and was in charge of his son.

Lin Wenhai continued: "Chen Jiang, as the head of the university, always teaches all students to be humble and studious, benevolent and courteous. Now that the results of the big test have been decided, I wonder if Fu Cheng has told you the good news? ”

Ah Chun and Ji Li both felt that the eldest young master was a little different, he used to be the most gentle, he had to be forgiving and forgiving, and he would not embarrass anyone, leaving room for everything. But now, it's a little tougher.

Chen really felt uncomfortable as soon as she heard the name Chen Jiang, and the past was brought up again, she was annoyed, if she knew that this little uncle would be so promising, she would not be so unkind, no, what she didn't expect was that Chen Wei would die early. And she is really anxious and has no foresight.

And what she cares about now is the results of Chen Heng's big test, but Chen Heng just came back last night, and because Lin Wenjuan went back to her parents' house and went to Lin Mansion to pick up people, she didn't have time to ask, "It seems that Young Master Lin has also heard about it?" She raised her head and sneered, if the Lin family looked down on her Chen family's poor life, then her Chen family still looked down on the Lin Mansion as a scholarly family, but doing profiteers' business!

"Of course I know!" Lin Wenhai suddenly laughed, and showed no mercy at all, and said word by word: "He has a bye." ”

Chen didn't understand what the bye meant, but looking at Lin Wenhai's appearance, it didn't seem to be a good result, and the whole person was stunned.

saw Lin Wenhai instructing the next person: "Ah Chun, help Miss in." Ah He, the Lin family has bought several courtyards adjacent to the Chen family, and today's craftsmen will come to repair them, and from now on, you will be the steward of this courtyard, and the rules that should be in the house will be erected together. He motioned to Geely, and Geely then took out a bag of silver and handed it to her, "Go buy two mothers-in-law first, and then buy a little girl to follow Aunt Yun." Pick a few more sensible people to serve Mrs. Chen, and if there is nothing to do in the future, don't get together. Also, if you encounter anything, you must remember that you are from the Lin Mansion, don't lose your identity. ”

Ah He hid his rough hands in his sleeves and answered in a low voice.

...

As early as when Chen Heng went to the Lin Mansion to propose, Lin Zhang's family said that the Chen family is now a little shabby, and he is afraid that Lin Wenjuan will be wronged, so he will prepare a new courtyard for them, but Chen Heng has his own self-esteem, which is a kind of arrogance from the cold window students, Lin Dongyue has an appreciative attitude, and Lin Zhang's family will naturally not refuse.

But what is Chen Heng's self-esteem now? He had a bye in the big test! If there is no result, he will have to rely on the Lin family's snort to live! He can't really trample the Lin family under his feet as his mother said, and now he doesn't even have the capital to look at the Lin family.

Chen grabbed Chen Heng's sleeve and asked in a whimper: "What is a bye, is everything over?" ”

Chen Heng couldn't say it, in fact, early this morning, when his uncle Chen Jiang came to tell him the news, he only remembered another sentence that Chen Jiang said in his mind, and there would be a chance in the future. But Chen Heng knew in his heart that even if he had the opportunity, it would be for those who had received the emperor's promise, and when the body healed, or after the mourning period, it would be arranged by the Zhishi Academy and the Imperial Academy.

But he didn't even see the face of the emperor at all, so how could he talk about a chance? He had been preparing for a whole decade, and this opportunity was going around him, how could he possibly have this opportunity?

"You say!" Chen slapped him on the chest, and continued to ask with a collapsed emotion: "Is it that Ayun's cheap hooves are delaying you?" She made you wrong? So you didn't do well in the exam? ”

Chen Heng hung his head, how could this be possible? His knowledge is the best in the academy, and even his uncle Chen Jiang, who has a discordant relationship with his mother, looks at him differently, how can he fail the exam? He has worked hard for ten years, in order to reach the sky in one step, how can he be destroyed by a woman?

That's not right! He suddenly remembered what his father-in-law Lin Dongyue had told him, and the news that he came back from inquiring was that he missed the time of the banquet and did not go, so he missed the reward! Why? Obviously, someone from the palace came to tell him that the banquet was canceled, didn't it? There is also the news that Chen Jiang brought to himself, he didn't see the emperor, why did he have a bye? It should have been removed directly, telling myself that I had a bye, but I wanted to be so annoyed and helpless now.

Chen Shi looked at his beloved baby son stunned and said nothing, stomped his feet, and shouted: "I must want Ah Yun to know how good I am!" ”

But at the moment when he didn't step out of the door, he heard Chen Heng shouting: "It's none of Ah Yun's business!" It's me, I don't know who I've offended, that's like this! ”

When Chen heard this, her face turned white, no matter how foolish she was, she also knew that when Chen Heng went to participate in the big test, the people she saw were either rich or expensive, as the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, even a little ghost can't be messed with! She burst into tears, grabbed Chen Heng's arm and cried: "Who the hell is it!" Who is so ruthless! ”

"I don't know!" Chen Heng's eyes slowly focused, fixed on Chen's face that had experienced vicissitudes, how much suffering his mother had suffered for himself! He squatted on the ground for a while, howling and crying, he really didn't know what he had done wrong, he had been abiding by etiquette for a few days in the big test, who could he offend!

Chen thumped his chest and shouted heartbreakingly, "!" Harm my son's future! I'm not afraid of being struck to death by lightning! ”

The movement of the small study quickly spread to the gate, and at this time the craftsman had already entered, and Lin Wenjuan was about to take Ah Chun to the courtyard next to him, when he heard such a cry, he only scolded in a low voice: He deserves it.

Isn't it just deserved? At this time, Lin Wenjuan, who had been speaking for Chen Heng, did not sympathize with him anymore.

Chen asked Chen Heng to go to Lin Wenjuan's room that night, and the night of the cave room after getting married was late.
