Qian Jun nodded understandingly: "What's the matter?" Why does Chen Hanlin have so many sons, why haven't he heard of it before? ”

Wang Xingdao: "Chen Hanlin shouldered two shoulders, stood up to his uncle and father, and married two wives. ”

"Oh?"

"His first wife is illustrious, and she is the door of her uncle, the so-called eldest daughter-in-law, so she is relatively strong, and the second wife and children are so pressed that they can't raise their heads, and later they invited themselves to take care of their hometown industry and returned to Maocheng, therefore, many people in the capital don't know."

"No wonder."

In that year, Qian Jun sent a group of people to study abroad, and returned to China one after another over the years, because they not only understood the culture and customs of Jurong, but also knew the mathematics and business ideas that Westerners were good at, and many of them also learned the manufacturing technology of making precision machinery there. and ordnance

Chen Hanlin's family, when he went to stay abroad, there were three children, all born to the second wife, the eldest Chen Shuyi is still a jinshi, because of the suppression of Chen Hanlin's wife, he has no fame, but can not enter the office, so in a rage, went abroad, after returning to China, he first entered the naval shipyard, and later was transferred out by Emperor Taishun, into the Ministry of Industry, this person is versatile, capable, won the blue eyes of the two emperors, and has been continuously promoted, and is already the right waiter of the Ministry of Industry of the third product.

The provocation in the villa is Chen Shuyi's younger brother Chen Shuguo, and his cousin Wang Zhifu, this is the oldest, riding a white horse is Chen Shuguo's friend, Su Yongliang, the younger brother of Su Yongshan, an upstart in the officialdom who was elected with nearly eighty percent of the votes in the recent parliamentary election.

Chen Shuguo didn't speak from beginning to end, he thought he could see mangoes, but later saw that a servant woman was so imposing, and understood that the Nanhai Prince's Mansion had a long reputation, and the delicate eldest girl would not come out to deal with it easily, so he held the mentality of waiting and seeing, and Su Yongliang, the young man who rode a white horse, suspected that he was being calculated when he saw such a situation, and when he saw Chunming coming forward, he was neither humble nor arrogant, polite and courteous, and he also had an inexplicable good impression of the Nanhai Prince's Mansion in his heart, so he came out to speak and calm down.

Chen Shuguo and Su Yongliang both went abroad from Maocheng to the West and only came back not long ago, so many people in the capital didn't know him, and Qian Jun's people mistakenly regarded him as someone who came to Beijing from other places.

Wang Zhifu was because he suddenly grew a beard, and he changed his usual obscene appearance, and the people in the Nanhai Prince's Mansion didn't recognize it for a while.

"Let's go check what these people have with the big girl." It was obviously going to mango that day, Qian Jun thought.

Wang Xing responded: "Yes!" He bowed and stepped back.

Wang Hanlin's home, since the second wife with two sons to live in, the atmosphere has become very treacherous, the eldest wife relies on the mother's family, because of the withering of talents, no longer prominent, and his two sons, far less than the achievements of the second wife and three sons, Wang Hanlin before, because of the need to rely on the eldest wife's maiden family, the wife has a lot of protection, so that the second wife and three sons suffered a lot of grievances, had to go to Maocheng to avoid its edge, now the second wife began to counterattack, the eldest wife often cried in front of the man, helpless Wang Hanlin's mastery of Confucianism, Now it's not popular, the children of the royal family, as long as he enters the palace to give a lecture every ten years, the rest of the time is idle, he himself is depressed and has nowhere to complain, and he can't suppress his second wife and three sons, neither in the mood nor able to support his eldest wife.

But because the second wife has lived in Maocheng for a long time, the eldest wife is still in charge of Zhongkui, she is still holding the last bit of power, wanting to check and balance the second wife, and the second wife will not give an inch, the two women are more ruthless than the other, and some servants in the family, and even the pet cat that the eldest wife used to raise, are unlucky.

However, because it is the Hanlin family, the most decent and ethical, the Chen family is still like a pool of stagnant water on the surface, calm and unwavering, and the five half-brothers will meet outside, and they will affectionately call each other brothers.

Chen Shuguo is the youngest son of Chen Hanlin's second wife, he is an outlier in the Chen family, not as gloomy and ruthless as the previous four brothers, plus he has been in the West for a long time, and he is relatively unfamiliar with the personnel in the capital, Mango doesn't know him at all, how can he provoke him?

Speaking of which, it is also Chen Shuguo's recklessness, Chen Shuhan has always held a grudge in his heart since he was rejected by Mango, but the Nanhai Prince's Mansion is not something he can afford to provoke, and in addition, Mango is always closely protected when he goes out, and he has no way to retaliate.

Chen Hanlin also has a younger sister, married to Wang Huan, a guard in the palace, and later gradually promoted to the chief of the guard, but for some reason, Emperor An He didn't like him very much, and in the first month of pro-government, he handed over his errand to Midnight, Wang Zhifu is Wang Huan's eldest son, one year older than Chen Shuhan, this person is arrogant and debauched, but he also feels good about himself, he also thought about mangoes, but Wang Huan is self-aware, and even the matchmaker did not dare to send it, but reprimanded his son, and hired a colleague's daughter to become a family.

Chen Shuguo's age has also reached the age of marriage, and his brother is in a high position, Chen Hanlin's second wife feels that her son is handsome and extraordinary, and he can be matched with a high-ranking lady in the capital, so she wants to find a daughter-in-law in Beijing.

Chen Shuhan knew that Wang Zhifu had always been obsessed with mangoes, on this day, he specially prepared a small wine, drank with his cousin, and waited for the other party to be slightly drunk, so he led the topic to mangoes, and sure enough, the evil thoughts in Wang Zhifu's heart were hooked, the wine banquet was dispersed, Wang Zhifu did not go home, but went to the gate of the South China Sea Prince's Mansion with the intention of drinking, and was broken by the night patrol.

Wang Zhifu's wine woke up and he slipped home. Chen Shuguo was ordered by his mother to visit his cousin, Wang Zhifu didn't dare to tell the truth, but scolded Mango again and again, saying that she was a goblin who seduced people, showed mercy everywhere, and pretended to be high, and said that grapes were sour when she couldn't eat grapes, anyway, if he could slander him, he said it again.

Chen Shuguo's half-brother Chen Shuyun once had a crush on mango, but at that time, Chen Hanlin was bent on letting Chen Shuhan cling to this high-ranking family, and he never planned for Chen Shuyun at all.

Chen Shuhan bought off Chen Shuguo's mother, and when he heard that Chen Shuguo scolded Mango, he immediately had an idea to instigate Chen Shuguo to find trouble with Mango.

Chen Shuguo is the most brainless person in the Chen family, and he made an appointment with Wang Zhifu at that time to make mangoes look good.

On this day, Mango went out, Chen Shuguo sent a subordinate near the Nanhai Prince's Mansion to fly to report, Su Yongliang, who happened to stay with him, was also present, Wang Zhifu saw it, and even coaxed and lied, saying that the three of them went to enjoy the scenery and picnic together.

Su Yongliang's family is relatively simple, although his mother is a continuation, his father's ex-wife has no children, and his grandfather has no concubines, the family has only one uncle, and he has a good relationship with his father.

Besides, Su Yongliang, when he came home from a break with his friends that day, he came back to his senses and knew that he had been used, he was secretly glad that he had said good things at that time, which was regarded as a statement of position, but his brother stood in a high position, and his family's every move would have an impact on him to some extent, so when the Su family had dinner together, he still looked for an opportunity to tell the eldest brother the matter in a few words.

Su Yongshan was very busy, so he only said to his younger brother: "I know, be careful in the future, don't have a bad relationship with the people of the Prince of Nanhai's Mansion." Then he hurried away.

Mrs. Su is a continuation, although now her children and grandchildren are full, and her son is out again, but she is still cautious, lest something go wrong, she heard that Xiao'er was in trouble, so she discussed with Old Man Su how to apologize to the Nanhai Prince's Mansion.

Mrs. Su used to be a Taoist in Jiangnan Province, and later offended Dong Jincai, and the whole family settled in Maocheng after resigning, Su Yongshan was seventeen years old, shocking the neighbors, and said that the Su family would be a big man.

Mrs. Su sensed that something was wrong with her eldest son, and asked him, Su Yongshan refused to tell the truth, so she asked her younger son Su Yongliang to follow the eldest brother, found something wrong, and hurried back to report, who knew that Su Yongshan was even brought abroad with his youngest son, Mrs. Su was so angry that he beat his chest and stomped his feet, tears were shed, his younger brother Su Erye has been doing trade with Fanzi, he saw that his brother was so sad, so he took a large number of goods, went to the West, according to the address, worked hard, and found the eldest nephew, it was already a year later.

After Su Yongshan was impulsive, he also missed his parents' hometown, and when he saw his second uncle, he cried with joy, but since he had come to this point, he must learn something.

Coincidentally, Su Yongshan and Chen Shuyi both entered the shipyard to study, and both of them also brought ***, so the relationship was even closer. The second old lady Su saw that Jurong's goods were selling very well in the West and the price was very high, so she lived overseas, one was to take care of her nephew, but to specialize in the sale of goods from China. So, Mrs. Su purchased in China, and Mrs. Su sold in the West, and after a few years, the Su family became one of the few wealthy families in Maocheng. Chen Shuyi returned to China in three years, but Su Yongshan stayed for six years, he was interested in Western shipbuilding at first, but later he preferred mathematics and philosophy, combined with his understanding of Jurong political affairs, Su Yongshan was more, but he was thinking, if Jurong took the advantages of Western government affairs for his own use, how great progress would be made in society, he came out of the shipyard, and through his uncle, he worked as a civil servant in the government of Western countries for two years, systematically studied Western philosophical thoughts, and mathematical knowledge, and then returned to China. Chen Shuyi had already won the appreciation of Emperor Taishun at this time, and he recommended Su Yongshan to take over his position in the Navy Shipyard.
