Chapter 14: The Chen Family

Pei Xuanshu still didn't reply, Li Shaoyan looked at the two of them left and right, didn't wait for what the fifth prince was saying, and said loudly: "Pei San, what the hell are you doing?" You called us here, but you didn't say a word, what do you mean? ”

Pei Xuanshu turned around at this time, and it didn't look like he had encountered something difficult. "Yuqi, do you want to fly snow?"

The fifth prince didn't know what Third Brother Pei meant, but he wanted Feixue to be true, and after listening to Third Brother Pei's words, he immediately nodded, "Yes!" I've been talking to you all night here, and you don't pay any attention to me! ”

"Then I'll send you!"

"Really?" The fifth prince asked with some uncertainty.

"Of course, when did I lie to you! Blizzard is just a fast horse for me, you like it, you give it to you, but you have to treat her well! ”

After Pei Xuanshu finished speaking, he glanced at Li Shaoyan, and sure enough, he saw that the other party was also signaling what he was doing with his eyes.

"Third brother, you are so good to me! I'm going to see the snow! The five princes didn't care about that, and after hearing this, they rushed out directly.

Pei Xuanshu motioned for Qiao Yu to follow, Qiao Yu was a little reluctant but didn't say anything, hesitated, but still followed.

After Pei Xuanshu and Li Shaoyan were still left in the house, Li Shaoyan asked: "Feixue was rewarded by the emperor, and you gave it to His Royal Highness like this, is it really okay?" ”

"It's okay, give it to me is equivalent to giving it to him, it's just a lot of hands, don't worry! There will be no problem. Pei Xuanshu said and walked out.

"Yes, alas! Where are you going? Li Shaoyan asked, but the person had already followed him out of the room, "You really didn't just come to send Feixue out today, right?" ”

The two walked forward side by side, passing by the place where the scholars held a poetry meeting before, Pei Xuanshu glanced in that direction, "Naturally not!"

"What's the matter?" Li Shaoyan glanced at the thoughtful Pei Xuanshu and asked, "Isn't it something that even I can't know?" ”

"No, I was actually thinking of a reason this night!" Pei Xuanshu smiled lightly.

The two have been friends for many years, and sometimes you can know what the other party wants to do with one look, looking at Pei Xuanshu's expression, it seems that he has thought of it, so he quipped: "What reason?" Still with what you want for a night? ”

"You'll find out in a few days!"

"Cut!" Li Shaoyan said that he was not uncommon to know.

As soon as the two of them went downstairs, they heard the voice of the fifth prince coming from afar: "Third brother, I'm one step ahead of Feixue!" Without waiting for the two of them to answer, the fifth prince and Qiao Yu were no longer visible.

Out of the gate of Qingyuan, Pei Li and the two of them led the horse and followed behind the two.

"Shaoyan?"

The two turned around, and four people came out of the Qing Garden, one of whom took two steps to Li Shaoyan.

"It's really you, I just said upstairs that I seemed to see you, Chen San and they also said that I drank too much, you see, I didn't drink too much!" As he spoke, several people followed. Yuan Haocang pointed to the few people who followed behind, and then pointed to Li Shaoyan and Pei Xuanshu beside Li Shaoyan.

It was obvious that he had drunk a little too much.

Li Shaoyan grabbed Yuan Haocang's arm and asked with a smile, "Haocang, how much have you drunk?" ”

"I didn't drink too much, look, I didn't mistake you, I didn't drink too much!" Yuan Haocang's arm was clamped, and he didn't give up, so he had to go to Pei Xuanshu's side, Pei Xuanshu frowned and took a step back.

It happened that several people followed behind, and one person came up and grabbed Yuan Haocang's other arm, which made him more honest.

"Young Master Li, I'm sorry for you, I'll come!" Chen Yanyun first saluted, and then came up to take Yuan Haocang from Li Shaoyan's hand.

"Third Young Master Chen, you and I are half classmates, so you really don't have to be so polite!" Li Shaoyan took the opportunity to hand Yuan Haocang into the hands of the other party.

Several people saluted one after another, and when they came to Pei Xuanshu, because they hadn't seen it, and Li Shaoyan didn't introduce it, a few people only nodded.

A few people exchanged a few words of greeting, and then hurriedly said goodbye.

After a few people left, Pei Xuanshu asked, "Old Prime Minister Chen's family?" ”

"Hmmm! When did Yuan Haocang get so close to Chen San? Li Shaoyan thought about what a few people said just now, Chen San and a few of them are going to prepare for the end this autumn, so they will return to their hometowns in a few days, and this Qingyuan poetry meeting is to practice for these people.

"However, Prime Minister Chen passed away a few years ago, and now it should be the Chen family of the Ministry of Officials!" Li Shaoyan corrected.

"Oh? Listen to this Chen family! Pei Xuanshu seemed to be interested.

The Chen family is also a century-old family.

At that time, the Chen family lived in Kongxin Lane, and when it came to the Chen family in Kongxin Lane, I was afraid that even a peasant woman who had lived in the mountains for a long time could say a few words.

In the heyday of the previous dynasty, the Chen family had two prime ministers and a noble concubine. There are more than 20 children of the Chen family who are officials in the court, and they are above the fifth grade.

Even now, when it comes to the Chen family in Kongxin Lane, Jiangnan didn't say that he didn't know.

It was only later that the Chen family in Kong Xin Lane was involved in the battle for the throne, and the children of the family also suffered a lot of losses because of this, so they gradually lost.

In the Taizu period of this dynasty, the Chen family spent a national son sacrificial wine, and the Chen family slowly returned to its former appearance in a hundred years.

However, when the first emperor was still in power, Chen Weizheng, who was born as the son of the Chen family, moved from Kongxin Lane to today's Jinzhou City with his younger brother Chen Weiyu. There is also an ancestral hall and a family tree, and the Chen family, which was originally one, was divided into two families.

Five years ago, Chen Weizheng, the old lady of the Chen family who was the prime minister at the time, died of illness. The Chen family returned to their hometown, and everyone said that the Chen family in Jinzhou was afraid that they would be defeated! Who wants to keep the system just over, Chen Shaoyuan, the eldest master of the Chen family, was reinstated, and in less than two years, he achieved the current secretary of the ministry, which is really a beautiful slap in the face to those who want to see jokes.

Pei Xuanshu is not the only one who is interested in listening to the old affairs of the Chen family, but Li Qin also wants to know more.

I saw Li'er pick up the tea bowl, drank it, wiped the corners of his mouth, and continued.

Since then, the Chen family in Jinzhou has had an iron law, and only men in the Chen family can take concubines if they are forty and childless.

Now the Chen family has a simple population, the eldest master Chen has two daughters and two sons, the eldest girl Chen Yanfen, and the second girl Chen Yanqiu, both of whom are now married, and the fourth young master Chen Yanbang is studying in Guozijian.

The second master Chen has three sons and one daughter, and the third young master Chen Yanyun is in Beijing with the eldest master, and now he is also studying in Guozijian. The fifth young master, Chen Yanqing, did not like to read like his two elder brothers, and only liked to dance with guns and sticks, so he did not stay in Kyoto like his elder brother.
