Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Reluctant Invitation
Old Man Chen's house was in the west of the city, and Yi An walked for about half an hour, and he was almost there.
The other party is also a celebrity in Hangzhou City, so it is naturally not difficult to inquire about the mansion.
Yi An knocked on the door a few times, and it was Master Chen who opened the door, which made Yi An a little surprised, and the other party could greet him in person, which was a bit too solemn.
Master Chen said with a kind face: "The virtuous nephew is finally here, I have been waiting for a long time, don't mind if I call him like this." ”
"Naturally, I don't mind, I just received an invitation from Master Chen, and I came non-stop. Yi An said.
Originally, Yi An was suspicious, but now that he looked at the other party, he always felt that Master Chen had nothing to do, and he was either a traitor or a thief.
He is just an ordinary student, even if he wins the first place in the Wenhui, it will not make Master Chen value it so much, after all, before he grows up, everything is in vain.
And Master Chen himself is quite famous, even if the prefect of Hangzhou sees it, he has to give him some face.
Even if he can really make a career in the future, it will only be the icing on the cake for Master Chen.
Could it be that the other party saw through the relationship between him and Mr. Yinshan and flattered him?
"Virtuous nephew, please come in, and, don't Master Chen, Master Chen's call, if you can afford me, you might as well call me uncle." Master Chen made a gesture and said with a smile.
Yi An couldn't help but be speechless for a while, but the other party's words had come to this point, and he couldn't shirk it.
Compared with Wei Liang, Master Chen's mansion is much larger, there are dozens of houses, and even the subordinates have hundreds, Yi An can't help but sigh, a famous scholar can have a lot of money, what kind of scene should the home of those big officials be.
When I came to the welcome living room, after the two sides sat down, there was a maid who immediately sent fragrant tea.
Master Chen said: "In a few days, it will be the township test, I don't know how the virtuous nephew is prepared?"
"Thanks to Uncle Chen's concern, I have been reading through the scriptures at home during this time, and I don't think it's a big problem. Yi An responded.
"Then I wish my nephew a victory. Master Chen said.
A few more polite words to Mr. Chen, but the other party never got into the topic.
Seeing that the other party looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, Yi An couldn't help but say, "Uncle Chen might as well say it directly." ”
Master Chen smiled and glanced at Yi An gratefully, he didn't know how to speak, and the other party took the initiative to resolve his embarrassment.
"That...... In fact, inviting the virtuous nephew to come here today is one thing, and on the other hand... There is something that wants to trouble the virtuous nephew. ”
Seeing that the other party finally stepped into the topic, Yi An couldn't help but feel a mood that was really like this, he knew that there was no good banquet, just stretched out his hand and didn't hit the smiling person, if the other party's request was not excessive, he agreed, but it was okay, and he should have a good fate.
Although Uncle Chen said that as long as he can do what he can, he will not shirk. ”
"Then I'll just say, the virtuous nephew doesn't know, I have an unsuccessful son, and I have always been able to break my heart, not long ago, the other party was infatuated with a girl in a green building, and I no longer had the heart to study. Master Chen sighed, and he had a big quarrel with his son about this matter.
His son Chen Qingwen has a reputation for being a talented man, and he has always been carefully taught by Master Chen, and he is also a little famous in the surrounding area.
Chen Qingwen has a few catties and a few taels, and Master Chen knows it in his heart, so he doesn't expect too much.
He is not young, and he has a few more years to live.
His only wish is to hope that Chen Qingwen can take on the family, at least to get a famous person, so that he will not fall into the middle of the family.
Yi An was stunned, originally thinking that the other party was coming for Wei Liang, but now it seems that the other party obviously has other plans.
Especially when he heard what Old Man Chen said, Yi An wanted to say: Your son is obsessed, and even you, your father, can't persuade him to come back.
However, seeing Master Chen's sincere appearance, he still couldn't bear to say this, pitying the hearts of his parents all over the world.
Master Chen sighed again and said, "I have tried almost everything, but that rebel still goes his own way, as if his soul has been swept away, I really have no choice." ”
"You haven't tried to start from the root, for example, buy the Qinglou woman and let the other party take the initiative to leave, so that even if the noble son is unwilling, it will be fine after a while. Yi An proposed.
He didn't believe that the Qinglou woman had no desires, as long as the other party had something to ask for, it would be easy to do.
"If that's the case, then it's good, but that Qinglou woman is from Drunken Hualou......" Master Chen smiled bitterly, he is not a stupid person, how could he not have thought of this method, but it is just related to Drunken Hualou, so he can't be treated cautiously.
Outsiders don't know, but he knows the background of Zuihualou very well, not to mention the red cherry girl, even the prefect has an inextricable connection with Zuihualou.
If Chen Qingwen's fall is compared to a slow death, then if he offends the prefect, he will die on the spot.
When Yi An heard this, his heart jumped.
The name of Drunken Flower Building, this is not the first time he has heard it, and it has something to do with the red cherry girl, if there is nothing strange about this matter, then he will never believe it.
"That drunken flower building, is there any origin?" Yi An's eyes flashed, and he knocked on the side.
"I can't say if there is a reason for it, but remember that if there is no conflict of interest, try to avoid them if you can. Master Chen didn't say it explicitly, and his answer was rather vague, he believed that with Yi An's intelligence, he could understand the meaning.
Yi An nodded, it seems that the drunken flower building is not small, and even Master Chen wants to retreat.
Master Chen's face was full of sadness, and he sighed: "Hey, I'll just say it directly, my bastard son, when he came back yesterday, he told me that he wanted to ask you for poetry, and I also know that this matter is a bit difficult for strong people, after all, you have to be busy with the township test." ”
"So you might as well do this, after the township tries, when you ask for poetry through Qingwen, you help me enlighten him by the way, what I say, he can't listen to a word, if it happens, the old man is grateful, even if it doesn't work, then you can only blame him for being too deep in the devil." ”
As I said just now, Chen Qingwen had no intention of learning anymore since he was obsessed, until he proposed to ask Yi An for poetry and writing, which made Master Chen see a little hope again.
As long as there is a little hope, Master Chen will not let it go, so he took advantage of the appointment of the last Wenhui to invite Yi An over.
As long as Chen Qingwen can get better, then it doesn't matter if he doesn't want to let go of this old face.
