Before Chen Yuan returned home, it was the middle of the night again. Looking up at the gilded Chen Mansion on the door, and looking down at the stone lion under the bright lantern, peaceful at night. made a gesture of stretching his waist, socializing, it was difficult, to support this family, it was the middle of the night when I went home.

I surprisingly didn't see Chunhua today, the old Liu Tou, who was guarding the door, was sixty years old, with a thin face and a very short beard, forming a handful, wearing a blue single coat, and was drowsy in the gatekeeping room.

The door was open, and Chen Yuan didn't wake him up. Go in by yourself, close the door, and wash yourself.

Along the way, I saw that no one was moving, only a few dim lanterns were lit, and winter came. The bug makes its last hoarse cry. Chen Yuan quietly came directly to Dong Mingyan's residence.

Chen Yuan knocked lightly on the door, there was no movement, presumably his wife was asleep, he stretched out his hand and pushed, the door opened, gently closed the door, and walked in slowly.

This is their wedding room, and in front of the wedding room is the study. Dong Mingyan is a sophisticated woman, there is a quiet and elegant feeling in the room, there are several volumes of calligraphy and paintings scattered on the bookcase with curly ears and openwork, and there are two simple inkstones. There are more than a dozen purple hairs hanging from thick to thin on the pen stand, and there is a big-bellied and wide-mouthed green lotus urn next to the desk, and more than a dozen scrolls are inserted in it.

On the pillars of the wall, there are two powerful couplets with the words "Heaven". The upper link is: the half-window moon falls and there is no shadow.

The next link is: the three paths of the wind come to the bamboo sound.

On the shelf near the window, there are four lilies scattered in the thin-necked vase, a "spring breeze map" painted by the Song people is hung on the snow-white wall, and there are several banners and vertical stickers of celebrities, revealing a smell of books.

This was specially prepared by Dong Mingyan for Chen Yuan, although he didn't have a real high school jinshi, and he wasn't even a showman. But all the dignitaries and nobles will decorate it, make a full belly and decorate an elegant other room.

Chen Yuan disagreed.

"Xianggong, you are now a person with status, and you can't be casual at home and let your subordinates see jokes. You are friendly and easy to get along with, that is your person, but the decoration of the home should be styled, scattered, neat and elegant, the family, mother, and helper will not act arbitrarily, know that the house is solemn, and follow the rules. ”

Chen Yuan nodded, yes, it is still the eldest wife who thinks about it thoroughly, he was born in a peasant family, he didn't expect this layer, the official eunuch's house, there must always be a rule, there is no rule. And the necessary decoration is necessary. It's like a person in a messy place, you can throw things at will. In a clean place, there will be some scruples.

So the study let the eldest wife pretend to be presentable.

Chen Yuan stood up for a while, then turned into the bedroom behind the screen, there was a diamond flower bronze mirror on the dressing table, and a jewelry box with red lacquer carved plum blossoms was opened, containing a few step shakes and pearl earrings, and next to it was rouge gouache.

Opposite the dressing table is a boudoir couch, on which a white gauze tent hangs from the sandalwood bed.

Walking over, gently lifting the gauze tent, I saw the eldest wife lying on her side on the couch, her slender body lying on her side like a bow, with a royal blue cloud silk thin jacket around her waist, her eyes closed, exhaling softly, and she seemed to be asleep.

Chen Yuan carefully removed the embroidered satin shoes, sat down next to her, and gently put his hand on her graceful waist - "Uh-huh......"

Dong Mingyan was awakened, and her delicate body moved.

She turned her head and saw that it was Chen Yuanzheng looking at her with a slight smile, and her tense delicate body relaxed, glared at her husband with disgust, and said in a nickname: "Xianggong, why didn't you break in without saying a word, it scared people!" ”

Chen Yuan kicked off his boots and lay down next to her body, Dong Mingyan wanted to turn around, but when Xiang Gong was so tightly pressed, he couldn't turn around, twisted his waist, and wanted to make some space for him inside, but he tightly hugged his waist and couldn't move, so he seemed to take the initiative to stick the two people together.

Chen Yuan laughed softly: "What is there to be afraid of, in your place, apart from me, is anyone else daring to break into?" ”

Dong Mingyan arched him with her ass angrily, and couldn't help but be quiet: "You, you're a busy person, waiting for you until midnight every day, yawning, people are sleepy, so they have to rest!" ”

Chen Yuan smiled and said in her ear: "Madam, it's all my fault, I'm here to make amends!" ”

Dong Mingyan swept a trace of worry slightly, she turned her back to Chen Yuan: "Xianggong, when I was in contact with my relatives and sisters, everyone was discussing Xianggong, saying that many people in the court hated Xianggong, and Xianggong was vacillating between the prince and the king of Han, I was afraid that no one would be able to please him, Xianggong, isn't that so?" ”

Chen Yuan's heart sank when he heard this, this is really a tree that wants to be quiet and the wind doesn't know. The battle between the prince and the king of Han is heating up, and this kind of rumor has reached the ears of his wife, and if he is not handled properly, he will affect his family.

He suddenly wanted to let go, he didn't want to get involved. However, Zhu Di will not allow it. Zhu Di asked himself twice and again how King Han was, he had already cultivated himself to be this chess piece.

The Zhu family is not easy to mess with, he has always wanted to stay out of the matter, but he is getting more and more involved.

Although he asked his family to refuse to welcome guests, as soon as he went out, there was no man in charge of the house. The old lady and wife can't see it, they are not the opponents of those old foxes, and they come to visit twice in three days. You can't keep rejecting others from the door, sometimes others leave when they put things down, and they don't ask Chen Yuan to do anything.

Only Chen Yuan knows that these are all official dealings, intricate, and they are all in the hands of others.

It's cold in the heights.

In the eyes of others, they thought that the ancient high-ranking officials were glorious and wealthy, and the sea of blessings was boundless. In fact, officials in ancient times were high-risk occupations, and almost less than half of officials could die a prosperous death until retirement.

Receiving gifts with the left hand, embezzling with the right hand? Think it's seamless? In fact, it's just not the right time, these are all handles, and this is a handle for yourself. When he fell, he made a wedding dress for someone else.

If you want to live a hard and long-term life, you must walk right and live a proper life, and don't think about those things that are corrupt, bribery, and gifts.

Chen Yuan was silent for a moment, and said calmly: "Madam, don't worry, I have my own measure." ”

Dong Mingyan shook her shoulders, turned around, and said solemnly: "Xianggong, I am a woman, I don't know the major affairs of the court, the concubine only hopes that the concubine will be fair and safe, and our whole family is fine." ”

Chen Yuan patted her on the shoulder.

She gently knelt into his arms, hugged his body tightly, and said with some concern: "The prime minister only needs to do his own thing, it is best to ask less about those national affairs, today, even if it is the clan, the princes, and the prime ministers, once they are involved, it is easy to give their lives, and the concubines know in the people, I don't know how many important ministers who have leaned towards the government and the opposition over the years have lost their heads, and the prince's struggle is not easily involved." ”

Chen Yuan was secretly startled, and his expression was solemn: "Who said these words to you?" ”

"Xianggong, you don't care who said this, you just need to know that this is reasonable, the concubine used to be very envious of high-ranking officials and those noble ladies. But now with all this, the concubine is afraid, often trembling, afraid that when she wakes up, she will be a flower in the mirror. ”

Chen Yuanyou walked among the forces of all parties, and there were indeed some left and right. Now everyone thinks that he is closer to King Zhao, and he is also secretly communicating with the two forces of the crown prince and the king of Han. Who noticed something strange and told his wife about it?

Chen Yuan hugged her and comforted her softly: "Madam, don't worry, I can't afford to go to this troubled water, and I won't go, we still expect you to spread the branches and leaves for us." ”

Speaking of this, Dong Mingyan pounded the big pig's head: "Who sleeps like a dead pig at night." ”

Chen Yuan laughed, and there was no need to say anything more about the content after that.

The next day, Chen Yuan packed up his things at home.

The servants of the house were in a hurry, packing things and cleaning up the garbage.

Fan Niangzi kept commanding them: "Move, this has to be moved, yes, that's it, blue and white vase, you first transport some things to the north, you can't move them all at once, transport them a few more times, it is not easy to come back in the future, you can use it in Shuntian decoration, how expensive it is to buy it again." Ouch, Li Si, be careful, if you break it, I'll let you work for a long time. ”

Fan Niangzi commanded, but Chen Yuan had nothing to do. When the autumn harvest was over, he went to take out the grain seeds brought from Annam and dried them so that they would not become wet and moldy.

"Chen Yuan, you come out for me."

Just when Chen Yuan used a rake to disperse the grain, an uninvited guest came from outside the door.
