Extra two: The third master (1)
Chen Yanyun still remembers the scene when he first met Jiang Wanqing.
She wore a very plain white background red plum short gown, goose yellow dress, stood slim in front of her mother, and answered quietly.
At that time, Mrs. Chen took him to the Jiang family as a guest, sat outside the flower hall and looked at the hall from afar, and nodded with a smile: "Look at this child, he has this calmness at a young age, and he must be quite smart and sensible when he grows up." β
Chen Yanyun was only fifteen years old at the time, and he was about to try it out. Thinking about what the uncle told him to read, he didn't speak seriously to his mother.
Mrs. Chen waved her hand: "Okay, I see that you have passed the test very well, it is rare to come out once, my mother is to take you to relax, don't worry about those things!" People may not be able to pass the exam if they get to thirty or forty. β
Chen Yanyun studied diligently at that time, so he smiled and said, "My son always has to work hard." β
Mrs. Jiang finished talking to her daughter and walked out of the hall with her.
The two families are world friends, and Mrs. Jiang did not let her daughter avoid it.
Jiang Wanqing was far away, and saw Chen Yanyun at a glance, he was standing behind Mrs. Chen, wearing a blue straight jacket. When he was young, he was not as good-looking as he was later, but between his eyebrows was quite soft and elegant, his skin was good, and he looked like jade.
Jiang Wanqing bowed to Mrs. Chen and stood behind Mrs. Jiang, very polite.
Mrs. Jiang introduced to her daughter: "This is Third Young Master Chen, Xie Yuanlang, who is famous in the north and Zhili!" β
Chen Yanyun just smiled: "Madame is overblowing." Yan Yun is just a scholar, with neither fame nor attainments, and he can't talk about fame. β
Jiang Wanqing always listened with his head bowed and his eyebrows furrowed.
Mrs. Jiang talked to Mrs. Chen, and let Jiang Wanqing go down first.
Chen Yanyun wanted to go to Jiang Pinghai to borrow a copy of Song Ke, so Mrs. Jiang ordered a subordinate to lead him and slowly walked towards the front yard.
He passed by a clump of brown bamboo, but heard the voice of a girl talking inside. "Biluo, do you think this magnolia flower is good? It didn't smell like a fragrance, so we picked it back and made dried flowers, which looked good in the house. β
I heard the girl's voice again: "Third Miss, this tree looks high, I'm afraid I won't be able to pick ......"
The girl comforted her and said, "I'm looking down at you, and you'll be fine." β
Chen Yanyun felt that there was trouble after thinking about it, just in case, he whispered to Mama Zheng behind him to go over and take a look.
He stood outside the palm bamboo and asked the little guy who led the way, "Which young lady is your third lady?" β
The little girl replied, "It's our Miss Chang." β
As far as he knew, Mrs. Jiang only had one girl, the one he had seen just now. How do you feel that this young lady is still immature?
As soon as Chen Yanyun thought of this, he heard the sound of something heavy falling. He walked over a few steps and saw that Mama Zheng was already comforting the scared little girl. Jiang Wanqing was standing next to her, holding a magnolia flower in her hand, and the other two girls who accompanied her were only thirteen or fourteen, and they were stupid when they saw people falling. Jiang Wanqing saw Chen Yanyun coming over, and she didn't even raise her head, she was a little embarrassed.
Chen Yanyun called Mama Zheng over to ask, and Mama Zheng said, "...... The slave just looked at it, there was nothing wrong, she was just scared. β
He nodded and said to Jiang Wanqing with a smile: "Just now, Mrs. Jiang praised the third lady for being smart and decent, and it turned out that she was about to show her original form. Third Miss, be careful, your mother can't see it. β
Jiang Wanqing muttered thank you and hurriedly took the girl down.
For Chen Yanyun, this matter is just a trivial matter. Soon he will be taking the exam.
In February of the 38th year of Jiajing, Chen Yanyun was awarded the tribute. In the March temple examination, the saint appointed the list and awarded the Hanlin Academy for editing.
The champion is Yuan Zhongru, who has long been famous.
Chen Yanyun's reputation is really loud, he has not yet decided to marry, and the person who said that he is close has broken the threshold.
Mrs. Chen didn't agree to any of them, and turned back to Master Chen and said, "I have already fallen in love with the third lady of the Jiang family, and she looks very well-behaved. If you agree, let's find a matchmaker! I think Mrs. Jiang also means this. β
Master Chen believes in Mrs. Chen's vision: "To start a family, the third child should also start a family first, and then go to the official career." When the third child got married, the fourth and sixth children continued to say goodbye. Just do it. β
Mrs. Chen was very happy after hearing this, and went to Baoding to invite a very famous aunt of the Chen family to say goodbye.
Mrs. Chen came to ask her son's opinion again, and Chen Yanyun could still vaguely remember Jiang Wanqing's appearance, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with it, she had to marry anyway. Mrs. Chen was even happier to see that her son did not object. In fact, it was useless for her son to object, she even invited the matchmaker to say goodbye. He has to agree if he doesn't agree, and besides, there is nothing bad about the girl of the Jiang family, she has seen the big one since she was a child, and she is very relieved.
At the end of the year, Jiang Wanqing got married.
She is looking forward to it in her heart, what girl is not looking forward to getting married. What's more, the person who married is still Chen Yanyun.
In fact, when he talked to her that day, she never forgot him.
The days after marrying in are a little different from what she thought. The initial freshness has passed, and the days have become boring, not to mention that Chen Yanyun cares more about his career than her.
It wasn't until later that her baby was born.
Jiang Wanqing's first child was a boy, which obviously cemented her position in the Chen family. Not only is she happy, but everyone around is happy for her. The child was pampered from top to bottom. She still remembers that on the day she gave birth, Chen Yanyun was still in the Hanlin Courtyard, and after giving birth, the family was busy, Mrs. Chen hugged her grandson, and hurriedly instructed Mama: "Quickly let people set the horse, go and tell the third child that he is a father!" β
Jiang Wanqing leaned on the pillow and saw the child in Mrs. Chen's arms, and couldn't help but think of Chen Yanyun's reaction.
When he came back in the evening, she was sleeping against the bed. There is a little one in the house, and the movement is different. When she heard a baby crying, she opened her eyes and saw Chen Yanyun holding the child, not holding it well, the child was crying, and Mama was next to him to guide him how to hold it, he was a little at a loss.
She couldn't help but smile.
Chen Yanyun looked back and saw that she was smiling, so she explained: "This little thing is too soft, I'm afraid of hurting him......"
Jiang Wanqing knew that he still had something to do.
He learned how to take care of the children, and he also learned to sing nursery rhymes to the children, although there was no tune, but fortunately, his voice was low and soft, and he was always able to lull the children to sleep. The child was very close to him until he was half a year old, and he giggled when he saw him.
The child grew up when he saw the wind, and when he was four years old, his grandfather led him to study. Because of this incident, Chen Yanyun also had a conflict with Master Chen, he felt that it was better for Chen Xuanqing to study with his uncle, but Master Chen never gave in, and the child was hugged to him.
After becoming a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy, Chen Yanyun studied with Master Zhang, who was then a waiter in the ministry.
The relationship between husband and wife gradually became more flat. Sometimes Chen Yanyun had dinner at Jiang Wanqing's, and the two of them had nothing to say for a long time. Fortunately, he was also accustomed to silence, and he lit the candlestick and read a book. She focused on needlework, or learned from Mrs. Chen to be a housekeeper.
Except for the eldest son, the two have never had children.
One day, Jiang Wanqing suddenly said to him: "Xue Rong, the girl who serves you, has also reached the age of being released from the house." I've discussed it with my mother, and I'm going to give you an aunt, what do you think? β
Chen Yanyun thought for a while, closed the book and asked her, "Is this what my mother meant, or what you mean?" β
Jiang Wanqing said: "It's the meaning of the concubine." β
"yes, I see." He said lightly, "Just do it." β
Jiang Wanqing pinched the thimble in his hand when he spoke, and he didn't realize that he had pinched it very tightly. After she let go, she was a little stunned. smiled and said, "Seeing that it's getting late, the concubine will ask the girl to come in and serve you to wash." β
It was Xue Rong who came in, looking a little apprehensive than usual. Chen Yanyun didn't feel anything, and calmly got up and went to the clean room.
Chen Yanyun didn't know what Jiang Wanqing was thinking, but if his heirs were thin, he would have to take a concubine according to the rules. Jiang Wanqing didn't mention the matter of taking a concubine, I was afraid that others would also mention it to her, she should have wanted to say it herself, so as not to bring it up to Mrs. Chen, she would be more passive. Jiang Wanqing's temperament is also very strong.
Half a year after carrying Xue Rong, Jiang Wanqing accepted the Lu family as a concubine for him. This can be regarded as her counterbalance technique, the two aunts have quarrels and grabbing, and they have conflicts with each other, which is easier to control than a single one.
When the Xue family gave birth to a boy, he was taken to Jiang Wanqing to raise. The Xue family moved to Xianyu Pavilion, and the children were not very close to her.
Chen Yanyun can also see Jiang's actions clearly.
Anyway, it's all a small fight in the back house, and besides, the Jiang family is doing it normally, and there is nothing wrong with it, he never interferes. It's just that the Jiang family loves Chen Xuanxin too much, and when he thinks it's not good, he will say a few more words.
Zhang Julian valued him more and more, and wanted to promote him to be the young Zhan of the Zhan Mansion. Chen Yanyun could see that Zhang Julian wanted to really reuse him, there were many protΓ©gΓ©s under Zhang Julian, but there were only a few who really valued him, and this opportunity was quite important. If it weren't for the uncle who helped Zhang Julian when he was down in the early years, I'm afraid he wouldn't have Zhang Julian's mentorship today.
Chen Yanyun successfully entered the Zhan Mansion, and he was on the rise in officialdom, but he didn't have time to be happy. The Chen family was born in vain, and the old man Chen had a serious disease, bedsores on his buttocks, and he lost weight rapidly in three months.
When he was seriously ill, he held Chen Yanyun's hand and told him: "...... Chen family, you have to hold on in the future. Father can't control you anymore, you still follow your uncle......" He choked in his throat, "It's right not to listen to your father, you are very good now, very good!" β
Chen Yanyun burst into tears, took the lead and half-knelt on the ground, and heard a female dependent crying behind him, feeling powerless for the first time.
Life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky. Sometimes manpower is so weak, no matter how smart he is, he can't come back to life.
Chen Yanyun thought that he didn't grow up with his father, and he wouldn't be too sad when his father died.
But in fact, blood is thicker than water, 1152
