The girl was wearing a pink brocade dress, with a bun up, and she looked pretty, she followed behind Chen Junzhe, raised her head and glanced at Su Zhan quickly, a touch of shyness flashed on her face.

Su Zhan: "?? "What's going on? He's really just coming back to visit a relative!

Su Yun came to see Su Zhan's expression of resistance, and he already understood Wei's idea in his heart, and couldn't help but feel very funny.

"Zhe'er, Shan'er, come and see your cousin!" Wei greeted with a smile, and then said to Su Zhan: "This is your cousin, cousin, you are all a family, you have to move around more in the future, and support each other!" ”

This girl is Chen Junzhe's sister Chen Cuishan.

Chen Junzhe is fifteen years old this year, and his appearance has inherited the handsome appearance of the Chen family, but when he heard Wei's words, a trace of disapproval flashed on his face, and finally under Wei's warning gaze, he said reluctantly: "Then please ask my cousin to teach more!" ”

Having said that, there was a hint of provocation in his tone.

Su Zhan smiled slightly: "Gongzi Chen is polite, since Mrs. Chen found me and asked me to 'give advice', I will naturally not let down her painstaking efforts, otherwise wouldn't I be too sorry for Mrs. Chen's trust in me." ”

Chen Junzhe's expression distorted, and he glared at Su Zhan fiercely.

Webster was very satisfied with this: "Next door is your grandfather's study, which is just right for you to discuss your homework!" Zhe'er, you have to talk to your cousin about it! His knowledge is praised even by Mrs. Yang! After a pause, she said to Su Zhan again: "Zhan'er, please also point out your cousin, he is also good at reading, and he is still thinking about trying it next year, and he doesn't expect to be famous, he just wants to see the world." ”

Su Zhan and Chen Junzhe went to the study on the side, Wei looked at their backs with satisfaction, turned his head to Chen and said, "This is Shan'er, Huixin, you haven't seen it for many years, right?" When you left Beijing, she was still a child, and now she has grown into a big girl, and it's time to talk about others. ”

Chen Cuishan smiled at Chen with some flattery and a little shyness: "I've seen my aunt." ”

Chen nodded detachedly, but still asked Mama Lan to give her a purse as a meeting gift.

"Huixin, I know, you have a deep misunderstanding of me and your father, but after all, we are all a family, and we can't write two words in one stroke, although you are a married daughter, but the prosperity of your mother's family is also related to your status in your husband's family, only if your mother's family is good, you will have more confidence in your husband's family, you say, is this the truth?" Webster said bitterly.

Chen didn't speak, just wanted to see her purpose.

"Zhan'er has a chance, it also came out of your belly, and now he has the blue eyes of Mrs. Yang, that is also your anger and gave birth to a good son!" Wei continued: "Even with them, the four rooms of the Su family were stained, I heard that the fifth young master of the Su family went to Guozijian to study through Zhan'er?" That's a great creation! But Huixin, you can't just take care of your husband's family, you also have to help your mother's family, right? ”

Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then you say, how can you be regarded as helping your mother's family?" ”

The smile on Wei's face deepened a little: "Our Zhe'er, I don't expect him to be able to enter the national prison with Young Master Su, I just hope that Zhan'er can help his cousin, and when I go to Mrs. Yang's mansion to discuss his homework, I will show up with him, and I will be content!" ”

Su Yunlai couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips, this old man Chen's illness is really not in vain, not only for silver, but also for the benefit of his grandson.

"Mrs. Chen is afraid that it is a misunderstanding, my fifth brother can enter the Guozijian to study, it is because of his own strength, he is already talented, and he has the praise of Mrs. Yang, so he was recommended to enter the Guozijian, not because of my third brother." Su Yunlai said.

Wei Shi glanced at her with disgust: "You kid, you are still too naïve to look at things, if it weren't for your third brother, how could Mrs. Yang notice the fifth young master, in the final analysis, it is still the fifth young master who has inherited your third brother's love!" Your grandfather and I only have one grandson, Zhe'er, and we don't expect him to glorify our ancestors, as long as he can have a career and support the lintel of the Chen family, my lord and I will be content. ”

Chen was unmoved: "If you can get Mrs. Yang's blue eyes, it is based on real talent and real learning, if Zhe'er really has the ability, even if there is no Mrs. Yang, you can still get ahead." ”

Wei's expression froze, and a trace of annoyance flashed in her eyes, she never thought that the stepdaughter who was begging for a living under her in front of her would dare to disobey her so much!

She has already said all the good things, and she still doesn't give this face.

Wei Shi tried to suppress the anger in his heart, and continued: "We Shan'er, gentle and considerate, virtuous and virtuous, not that I boast, there are many people who inquire about her, and the threshold is about to be broken, but your father and I have been reluctant to keep her for two more years." ”

This is very straightforward, because the woman is a girl's family, she has to be reserved to increase her value, and there are only a few people who are so bold as the Du family, so Webster will stop and wait for Chen to continue.

Chen nodded: "The family affairs of the girl's family really need to be cautious, and the elders need to check it, after all, it is a major event related to a lifetime, such as the marriage of Zhan'er, it is up to the old lady of our family to make the decision, and no one else can say anything!" ”

In fact, Chen is still kind in the end, and he didn't refuse directly, but just said that she couldn't make the decision about Su Zhan's marriage, in fact, this is already a euphemistic refusal, if Wei is smart, he knows that it should be stopped.

But Webster suffered a loss in the hands of Chen's today, and he didn't take advantage of it at all, especially because it was her stepdaughter who she didn't look at before, which made Webster very angry.

What do you mean by that? You are his mother-in-law, as long as you say a word, even the old lady of the Su family will consider it, not to mention that our family is gentle and virtuous, why is it not worthy of your illness...... Your son can't make it? Webster's face was completely cold.

Although Webster's voice changed quickly, Chen still heard her unfinished meaning, and his face couldn't help but sink.

"The girl of the Chen family is good, but to be my daughter-in-law, it is not enough to be gentle and virtuous." Chen said proudly: "If Mrs. Chen loves her granddaughter so much, it is better to keep her for two more years." ”

"Master, look at it, now that Huixin has grown up, she can no longer look down on our Chen family, a small family, and she doesn't even want her mother's family!" When Wei Shi heard this, he trembled with anger, turned his head and cried to Chen Yu again.

Chen Yu immediately glared at Chen: "You unfilial daughter! When you get married, you forget your last name? took so much dowry from the Chen family, and now you don't want to do such a trivial matter! I, I'm going to sue you for unfilial piety! ”

Chen's face suddenly turned extremely cold, and just as she was about to speak, Su Yunlai pressed her hand.

"Mrs. Chen, my mother didn't mean that!" Su Yunlai immediately said: "Since my mother is already married, she is a member of the Su family, the so-called marriage and husband, it is this truth, Mrs. Chen loves Miss Chen very much, and must have taught her this truth, after all, this is the most basic code for women." ”

"Sir! You see, now even a junior dares to talk to an elder like this? If this is preached, what face will I have! Wei said and cried again: "I'm not all for this family, Zhan'er and Shan'er are cousins, why not let them kiss each other?" I don't dislike that her son is short-lived, she is good, but she dislikes us Shan'er! This makes us how to be a person in the future! ”

Chen's face immediately became gloomy, and just as she was about to speak, a little maid hurriedly ran in from outside.

"Master, madam, it's not good, the young master and the young master have quarreled!" The little maid said anxiously.

Chen was shocked when he heard this, and he didn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly stood up and walked out.

Walking outside the study, he heard a snapping sound from inside, Su Yunlai was shocked, after all, if he did it, Su Zhan had no advantage.

Chen pushed the door open, and saw Chen Junzhe glaring at Su Zhan with a grim face, Su Zhan was fine, he couldn't see his emotions, and there was a fragment of a teacup on the ground.

"Zhan'er, how are you? Is there something wrong? Chen asked anxiously.

Su Yunlai also frowned and looked over, Su Zhan gave them a reassuring look, and then said: "Mother, I'm fine, don't worry, it's just that Chen Gongzi's qualifications are really mediocre, and his son's ability is limited, I'm afraid I can't guide him." After a pause, Su Zhan looked at Wei Shi, and sincerely suggested: "Mrs. Chen is also dead of this heart, with the level of Cousin Chen, even if he is in front of Mrs. Yang, I am afraid that he will not even be scolded, so don't let him humiliate himself." ”

To say it sincerely, Su Zhan said this really for the sake of Chen Junzhe, with the reputation of Mrs. Yang, if he evaluates Chen Junzhe, I am afraid that no one will dare to teach him in the future.

Su Zhan is actually a reminder, but the words are not very polite.

However, it is clear that Chen Junzhe and Webster cannot accept Su Zhan's kindness.

"Shut up! I'm just for Mrs. Yang's sake, to give you a little face, but I didn't expect to condone you so rampant! Like you, even if you have talent, I'm afraid you won't be able to enjoy it! Webster said with a grim face.

Chen raised his head and looked at Wei, his eyes were gloomy and cold, Wei's heart shrank, but he still looked at it coldly as an elder: "What are you looking at?" I'm your elder anyway, and I'm the wife your father is marrying! As for the rules, you still have to call me mother! Giving you a little face to make you so presumptuous, this is not the upbringing of the Chen family! ”

Su Yunlai's brows sank, she glanced at Su Zhan, Su Zhan understood, suddenly covered her chest, trembling all over, Chen was so frightened that she hurriedly went to support him: "Zhan'er, how are you, don't scare your mother!" ”

Su Yunlai hurriedly shouted, "Third brother! Third brother, don't be angry, take care of your body, Mrs. Yang sends people over every day to care about your body, if you have something, it will be a waste of his hard work! ”

Wei Shi was taken aback, if Mrs. Yang knew that Su Zhan was in her mansion, then Chen Junzhe's future would be over.

"Quick, call the doctor!"

The farce of the Chen family ended in Su Zhan fainting.

When he got out of Chen's mansion, Su Zhan's face immediately improved, and Chen was stunned.

"Zhan'er, you ......" Chen was shocked, he didn't expect his son to pretend to be sick.

"Otherwise, how can we get out?" Su Zhan said confidently.

After speaking, he glanced at Su Yunlai, and he was still very kind and did not confess to the person who came up with the idea.

Chen opened his mouth, but he was still reluctant to blame his son Hu Lai.

Mama Lan said: "Thanks to the young master's alertness today, otherwise our wife would have suffered!" After a pause, she was worried again: "It's just that this is not a long-term solution, after all, the master is an elder, if he accuses his wife of being unfilial, I am afraid it will damage his wife's reputation." ”

The father-daughter relationship between Chen and Chen Yu doomed her to be on the weak side, no matter what her parents did, as long as she was disobedient, she would be unfilial.

Not only the reputation of the Chen family, but also Su Zhan and Su Yunlai will be affected, and even their marriage will be hindered in the future.

Chen herself is not afraid, but she can't affect a pair of children.

Chen blamed himself: "It's all bad mother, but it has affected you." ”

Su Yunlai said with a smile: "Mother, look at what you said, this is not a big deal, even if you want to affect us, I am afraid that you can't!" ”

When Mama Lan heard Su Yunlai say this, her originally worried heart immediately calmed down a little, "Miss Seven, what is the best way?" ”

Su Yunlai hooked the corners of her lips, and her deep eyes fell on Mama Lan's face, she was not very old next year, but she already had a sense of majesty.

"Mama Lan, you go and check the family that put the money with Mrs. Chen." Su Yunlai commanded.

Mama Lan was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Su Yunlai would let her investigate such a seemingly inconsequential person, but she still hid the suspicion in her heart and nodded: "Yes, the slave will do it." ”

Mama Lan came out of the Chen family, and it was much easier to know about the Chen family, but in the evening, she came back to talk.

"The slave maid inquired clearly, and it was the Yin family who put the seal with Mrs. Chen. The head lady of the Yin family is Mrs. Chen's handkerchief, this Yin master is an editor of the Hanlin Academy, although the Hanlin Academy is noble, but also poor, so this Mrs. Yin put the money outside to supplement the family, Mrs. Yin and Mrs. Chen's personal relationship is very strong, and the marriage of Young Master Chen is the granddaughter of Mrs. Yin. Mama Lan quickly made the results of the investigation clear.

Su Yunlai sat upright on the small collapse, and after listening to her words, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Oh? Have you decided to have a family affair? Her eyes flashed, and the corners of her mouth hooked up into a smile: "Oh, then this relationship is close enough." ”

Mama Lan glanced at the smile on her face, and inexplicably felt a little chilled: "Miss? ”

"You go, check the places that this Young Master Yin goes to most often on weekdays, and then write a letter to the Young Master of the Chen family in the name of my third brother, and then ......" Su Yunlai leaned into Mama Lan's ear and whispered two commands.

Mama Lan listened to Su Yunlai's words, nodded again and again, and finally her eyes lit up instantly, "Slave maid, let's arrange it!" ”

Yin Peng, the young master of the Yin family, likes to go to a restaurant called Sijichun in the capital on weekdays, Sijichun is elegantly decorated, only entertaining literati and elegant guests, so he is quite famous among scholars, and many scholars like to come here to discuss homework and drink for fun.

Today, Yin Peng came to the Four Seasons Spring again, but the atmosphere in today's Four Seasons Spring seemed a little depressing, and many scholars got together, all whispering, looking mysterious.

Yin Peng saw the scholar he met and sat down: "What's wrong?" What's wrong, why is the atmosphere so strange? ”

"You don't know yet, huh? Someone reported to Mrs. Yang, saying that someone in the capital was putting money in the print, I heard that Mrs. Yang had reported the matter to the emperor, and the emperor was furious and was about to start a thorough investigation! ”

"I also heard that the emperor has begun to send someone down to investigate thoroughly!"

Yin Peng's face changed, but he remained silent: "Why did you suddenly remember to check this matter, and I don't know who reported it?" ”

"I don't know about that."

Although there is an explicit prohibition on officials from putting seals, there are really a lot of people who do it secretly, and there are too many people involved, so no one really puts this matter on the surface.

But if someone really mentions this matter, then this matter is a serious crime, and it is clearly stipulated that the person who put the seal will cancel the qualification of the children of the three clans for scientific examination, which is a very serious matter.

Yin Peng felt that he couldn't sit still, so he was about to go out, and when he raised his head, he saw Chen Junzhe and Su Zhan walking together in the Four Seasons Spring, looking very close.

Yin Peng knew Su Zhan, although the third young master Su was not in good health and did not show up often, but his reputation as a prodigy resounded throughout the capital, as a child of other people's families, he used to be a nightmare for many scholars in their childhood.

Yin Peng followed quietly, until he saw the two of them 'hooking their shoulders and walking into the private room,' as Yin Peng saw this scene, Third Young Master Su had something to say.

It's hard to be a brother, my sister has to calculate people, and when I am a brother, I have to make a cameo in friendship, but what can I do, being a brother is a hard life.

Third Young Master Su complained wildly in his heart, which showed that he still had to maintain an indifferent and elegant smile on the surface.

Yin Peng found the little guy: "Recently, has Young Master Chen often come over with Third Young Master Su?" ”

Xiao Er smiled: "Then how can it?" Third Young Master Su is a rare figure, this is the first time to come, I heard that the Su family and the Chen family are interested in marrying, the two young masters naturally began to move around. ”

Marriage? Yin Peng's face was unpredictable, the relationship between Su Zhan and Mrs. Yang was unknown to no one in the whole world, thinking of the news he had just heard from downstairs, and then thinking of Chen Junzhe and Su Zhan suddenly starting to move around, he felt as if he understood something.

Yin Peng didn't have the heart to go to the restaurant, so he immediately went home and reported the matter to Mrs. Yin.

Mrs. Yin was in the backyard, the news was not so well-informed, and she was also frightened when she heard the news, she put the seal to hide it from Lord Yin, Lord Yin is a typical scholar, with the arrogance of a literati, if he lets him know that he put the seal, the relationship between the two is afraid that it will be over.

"Mother, this Chen family is too unkind, why didn't they feel like a prickly hand when they took the silver, and now that something happens, they can't wait to sell us! It just doesn't make sense! Yin Peng said angrily.

Mrs. Yin's face was a little ugly, she and Mrs. Chen were handkerchiefs, and she knew what she had done, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Chen would also put her together today.

"Don't be angry, this Chen family is not clean, and it is not so easy to step on our family to climb high branches, I am afraid that she will fall!" Mrs. Yin said with a sneer.

"I heard that the Chen family is starting to talk about marriage with the Su family, mother, this Chen family is simply too deceitful!" Yin Peng said angrily.

Mrs. Yin's brows also frowned, she squinted, and then said, "Peng'er, you don't have to worry about this matter, my mother will handle it herself." ”

Yin Peng looked at Mrs. Yin's calm face, and his face eased slightly.

Just when the matter of releasing the seal was spreading, the Chen family's wife became the first sinner with conclusive evidence, for this matter, the Chen family needed to pay a large sum of money to settle the matter, which was not the most important thing, Chen Junzhe's qualification for next year's imperial examination was also cancelled.

When Su Yun came to get the news, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.

Jun Yao looked at her girl's indifferent look, and almost knelt down to hug her thighs with adoration in her eyes.

"Miss, it's okay now, see if they dare to bully our wife!" Jun Yao said triumphantly: "Now that Young Master Chen is useless even if he has talent, he has been disqualified from the imperial examination, see if he dares to calculate our young master!" ”

Mama Lan was a little worried: "But will this matter affect Mrs., as well as the young lady?" ”

Su Yunlai comforted: "Mama rest assured, my mother is already a married daughter, married to her husband, and Mrs. Chen is a stepfamily, it will not affect her." ”

"But the old lady ...... there," Mama Lan was still not at ease.

There is a sentence Mrs. Chen is right, the status of her mother's family is related to the confidence of a woman in her mother-in-law's family, if the Chen family has been ruined, she is worried that the Chen family will be bullied.

Knowing Mama Lan's worries, Su Yunlai only coldly hooked the corners of his lips: "If it is put on the fourth and fifth aunts, I am afraid that I will have to worry for a while, my mother, don't worry about it at all." ”

Because for Mrs. Su, she wished that the Chen family's maiden family would not be able to borrow it, and if the Chen family was powerful, she would be worried.

The Chen family's maiden family has no children and nephews, so only her children and grandchildren can get Su Zhan's help, and Mrs. Su can't wait for it.

Therefore, the rise and fall of the Chen family will not affect the status of the Chen family in the Su family at all.

Mama Lan thought for a moment, lowered her head, and fell silent.

At this time, the Chen family was all shrouded in gloomy clouds.

This time, Chen Yu was not stunned, it was related to Chen Junzhe's future, he reprimanded Mrs. Chen fiercely, and Chen Junzhe's mother also had a lot of criticism of her mother-in-law, and she no longer respected her as in the past.

Mrs. Chen actually reached the point of betraying her relatives and leaving her, and washed her face with tears in her room all day long.

This is not the most important thing, in order to escape punishment, the Chen family has to pay a huge fine, which is a huge amount of money for the Chen family, which is now thin.

So, the Chen family sent someone to the door again.
