Chapter 682: Provincial Relatives

Another reason why I want to go to Jiaxing is that Concubine Xian's maiden home is in Jiaxing, and this time let her drive with her, which is also one of the purposes.

She was born in a wealthy family, and her ancestors were businessmen in her early years, but by her grandfather's generation, she basically had little talent for business, and the only thing she was more fortunate about was that she had purchased a lot of land, and these two generations did not squander it excessively.

So she has lived happily since she was a child.

A complete and stable family and a growing environment that makes her less keen to compete now.

Since she entered the palace, Chen's status in the local area has suddenly improved.

Five years ago, she gave birth to the third son of the emperor, Zaiyao, which is even more different.

However, unlike Concubine Shen Shu, Concubine Xian often admonishes her mother's family, stating the pros and cons, good and bad, like them, and persuading them to do more good deeds in their hometown and make more good connections.

So Chen's reputation in Jiaxing is very good.

Otherwise, how could Zhu Houzhao let the saint drive through Jiaxing?

I heard that Concubine Xian was going back to her parents' house to save her relatives. In order to create a good atmosphere, the Chen family began to do more good deeds in the local area, such as donating to build a college and a private school.

The porridge shed is not needed, and there are not so many homeless people in Jiaxing.

Now the only ones who are hungry here are the lazy. Otherwise, it is not easy for you to go to Hangzhou and Ningbo, where to find a livelihood? Earn more and earn less, and the rice must be eaten.

When the Son of Heaven really entered Jiaxing City, this place was full of jubilation.

"It's coming, it's coming! The small ones have seen the provincial team! ”

Father Chen heard the report from his subordinates, even if he was so old, he couldn't sit still, but Chen's mother was better than him, just squeezed her hands and looked very nervous.

There are also many relatives in the courtyard, in addition to this daughter, he also has two sons, two daughters, all dressed up and waiting here.

In addition, Chen's father himself has two brothers, in short, a lot of people.

As for the neighbors who are stopped outside, it is even more indispensable.

The virtuous concubine in the sedan chair was a little nervous, the so-called hometown was even more timid, she hadn't seen her parents and brothers since she left her hometown ten years ago......

“…… Many of the people gathered outside were Chen's neighbors, and they had occasionally met them when they were young. Yue'er, you gave them all the money we brought, although it is a little cheesy, but for ordinary people, this is what matters. ”

Concubine Xian felt that if she gave something, the Chen family would have better popularity among the neighbors in the future.

At the same time, it also saved some for the emperor.

Because the southern tour actually costs a lot of money, this point is actually still criticized.

Even if she didn't mention it, she didn't care, she didn't need it that much.

"Yes."

The maidservant obeyed the command, and when she went out, she gathered several people together to do the thing.

Concubine Xian has read books, not those who have not studied and have no knowledge, so they all tell people to say that it is 'given by the emperor and Niangniang'.

In this way, the outside of the Chen Mansion was naturally crowded with enthusiastic people.

And in the house, it is a similar atmosphere.

The family members are thinking that according to their identity, this married daughter is already the emperor's concubine and the biological mother of the prince, and family affection should be taken into account, but etiquette should be taken care of.

However, Concubine Xian felt that her biological father and biological mother were different after all.

And except for this little trouble, everything else is touched by reunion.

……

“…… The identity is different, it can't be like this, it can't be like this. Although Chen's father was moved and wanted to be close, after all, he hadn't seen him for ten years, and he even thought that he might not see him in this life, but his daughter was already the imperial concubine, and he still had to pay attention, not only him, but other men had to pay attention.

It was Mother Chen, who had just calmed down, and when she called Concubine Xian at this time, she couldn't help crying, and she had thought about saying a lot of things, but at this time there was only one sentence, "How have you been doing all these years?" ”

Concubine Xian also had tears in her eyes, "...... Very good, all very good. ”

……

This big family revolves around such a person.

The women's eyes are complicated, some are envious, some are infected and crying, and many of the men are still eagerly looking forward to it.

Concubine Xian looked at a slender girl in a goose yellow dress standing behind her eldest sister, "I'm not mistaken, am I?" When I left, Xiaoying should have been only seven years old? Do you remember the second sister? ”

The difference of ten years is actually a bit of a difference.

The eldest sister Xiaohui pushed the little girl out, "Didn't you say that you miss your second sister?" Called the second sister? ”

The little girl has big eyes and dark pupils, she was born with crystal clear eyes, her face and skin are unique to the fairness of a Jiangnan woman, her eyebrows are as elegant as distant mountains, slender and curved, which matches her eyes just right, adding a bit of beauty. The lips are small and slightly cherry-colored, and when you smile, your cheeks reveal a faint pear vortex, which makes people feel pity.

"Second sister."

"Hey. Come here. "Concubine Xian can still recognize it, although it has changed a lot, but it has the appearance of the past.

In addition to this, she has two older brothers.

The men thought more, but they didn't dare to mention it themselves.

They are all begging Chen's mother to see if there are any opportunities or something.

So in the past few days at home, Chen's mother has talked about it in private, just to see if she can ask the emperor for an errand or something.

Concubine Xian didn't agree after hearing this, nor did she disagree, and then she inquired with her innocent third sister and asked, "What have the eldest brother and second brother been doing all these years?" ”

"Big brother...... It's to help my father take care of the family's farmland. ”

"Where's the second brother?"

"The second brother is amazing, he has won the show, and now he is ready to take the exam! He said he would definitely be able to win next time! ”

Concubine Xian herself is in her twenties, her second brother is basically nearly thirty, and Zhongxiu is what she had when she was there, which is equivalent to failing to pass several township exams.

Actually, that's what most people do.

But in this case, if she really wants to ask for an envoy, it will be difficult for her to talk to the emperor.

Xiaoying didn't know how worried, she asked timidly, "Second sister, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Nothing."

"Second sister,"

"Huh?"

"May I ask you a question?"

"What?"

Xiaoying smiled, showing the innocence of a young girl, "The palace, what does it look like?" Isn't it big, big? ”

Concubine Xian laughed, "It's big. ”

"How big? Is it the size of ten of our family? ”

"Estimated...... There will be fifty of them. ”

"With so many rooms, how can the emperor sleep well?"

Concubine Xian stared at her, "Don't be too jumpy, disrespectful to the emperor." ”

"The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life. The little woman admires you the most, and if you lose your words for a while, don't blame it. She muttered to herself for a while, and then asked, "Second sister, what does the emperor look like?" I've heard people say that the emperor is amazing, and besides, is the emperor good to you? What about the child you gave birth to, why don't you bring it back, my little sister still wants to play with him. ”

"Which one do you want me to answer?"

The girl stuck out her tongue, "I'm talking too much." ”

“…… The emperor treats me very well, but not because of me, the emperor has a gentle personality and treats everyone well. ”

……

The next day, Concubine Xian went to find her parents.

“…… The daughter knows the thoughts of the eldest uncle and the second uncle and the two elder brothers, and she also understands her father and mother. Originally, it was not impossible, the daughter was the emperor's concubine, and it was appropriate for the Chen family to serve the emperor more, but it was always appropriate. ”

Father Chen was a little overwhelmed when he heard this, "This ...... Isn't it appropriate? ”

"With all due respect to my daughter, what will happen to the eldest brother and the second brother? Not to mention the eldest uncle and the second uncle, they are roaring urgently, just to get an official appearance. ”

Chen's mother asked, "Is it the emperor's order?" ”

Concubine Xian shook her head, "Not really. The emperor is a generous and benevolent monarch, and he loves and cherishes talents, if he is really capable, it is much easier to do. ”

They are still understanding of their daughter's parents, and since they have spoken about it, they don't force it. It's just that there will be some people in the family who will be disappointed.

Concubine Xian actually couldn't bear it, she racked her brains and tried her best to think about it, "Mother, the son of the uncle's family...... Didn't you say you could read? Why didn't you see you this time? ”

"Chaorui, right?" Chen's father patted his thigh, "I really can't pass the exam, I can't stand it at home, I went to sea with the caravan, and there has been no news for three years." Life and death are uncertain now......"

Concubine Xian felt in her heart, "That's a pity, my daughter thinks he is still a little arrogant." ”

"If you want talent in a peaceful and prosperous world, what kind of arrogance do you want? It turned out that when I was at home, I gathered a group of friends from nowhere, and almost ate your uncle's house. Although it is a little smart, it is not the right way in the end. ”

Father Chen's words are not wrong.

There was no way for the virtuous concubine, she couldn't open her mouth to the emperor about these people.
