Chapter 130

After Hua Yang finished speaking with his father-in-law, he left.

Mrs. Sun accompanied her husband to send the long princess daughter-in-law out, and when she turned around, she saw her old man's face stretched out, not because she was angry, but as if she had something serious on her mind.

When the couple returned to the house, Mrs. Sun wondered: "What's the matter? Last night you stayed in the study with the fourth child for a while. You didn't sleep well in the middle of the night. You turned over after a while. Today, the long princess is with you again.What did you say?"

Chen Tingjian shook his head absently: "It's about the court."

Sun was startled.

There are too many things going on in the court, Sun's knowledge is limited, she doesn't understand those twists and turns, and rarely inquires, from young to now, if she needs to beware of anything, her husband will tell her in advance, there is no need for her to be blindworry.

"Their young couple, are you talking about the same thing?" After a while, Sun asked speculatively.

Chen Tingjian nodded.

The fourth child speaks bluntly, let him be more polite to the emperor, and don't bully the emperor when he is young.

The long princess spoke euphemistically, hoping that he would not just treat the emperor as a child.

If Chen Tingjian still doubted whether his son’s words last night were because of something leaked in the words of the long princess, now he understands that his son and daughter-in-law actually have their own worries, and his son is worried that he will offend the emperor severely.Following the emperor's possible revenge, the daughter-in-law is worried that he, the Inner Pavilion Chief-of-Staff, is too strong, hurting the emperor's face, causing the emperor to always disobey him like the fourth child, and the monarch and his ministers are at odds.Implementation of the New Deal.

One was for his family, and the other wanted to maintain his personal relationship with the emperor as well as maintain the stability of the overall situation.

Chen Tingjian suddenly sighed.

Sun looked over faintly, she heard the old man sigh a lot last night.

Chen Tingjian pinched his forehead, and smiled wryly at his wife: "As you said, I am used to domineering at home and outside. I have always scolded others, but I really thought that I was perfect and would not make mistakes., Even if the words and deeds are biased, they are all for the sake of the overall situation, which is understandable."

Sun: "So, both the fourth brother and the long princess have scolded you?"

Chen Tingjian: "It's not a training, it's just a lesson for me together."

He hadn't been "taught" in a long time.

Both Emperor Xian and Empress Dowager Qi valued him very much, and treated him with more than courtesy but not with dignity.

The courtiers who supported him only followed his lead, and he only listened to what the courtiers who opposed him said.

Except for the fourth couple, the others in the family are even more submissive to him.

As for Emperor Yuanyou, that was the child that Chen Tingjian had taught since he was three years old. Chen Tingjian was used to treating Emperor Yuanyou as a master and an elder, but he had more than majesty and respect for Emperor Yuanyou.

The long princess hoped that he would not treat Emperor Yuanyou as a child, but he would explain to Empress Dowager Qi in detail what Chen Tingjian did before.Chen Tingjian actually didn't care much about Empress Dowager Qi's decision.What he wants is that the reform can be carried out, and it is enough for Empress Dowager Qi and Emperor Yuanyou to support him.

But Emperor Yuanyou will always grow up, and he will become an adult emperor.

Chen Tingjian was confident that Emperor Yuanyou would always listen to him. The support of the former emperor, the effectiveness of reforms, and his personal power were all enough to do so.

But he is already old, and he will definitely walk ahead of Emperor Yuanyou. By then, will Emperor Yuanyou continue to support his reforms?

If Emperor Yuanyou was like his eldest son, intelligent and caring about the overall situation, Chen Tingjian would naturally be able to leave with peace of mind.

But can he guarantee that Emperor Yuanyou will be like the eldest son?What if Emperor Yuanyou raises a rebellious child like the fourth child, but doesn't have the righteousness of the fourth child, and still sits on the world...

In Chen Tingjian's mind, the faces of the two previous emperors appeared one after another.

Both emperors were diligent when they first came to the throne. It didn't take long for one of them to encounter a traitor and make people's livelihood miserable, and the other for his own lust and push all the big things to the Inner Pavilion.

The Inner Pavilion of the first emperor had him. When he was old or died, what kind of Inner Pavilion would Emperor Yuanyou support? Would he support the reform and serve the public wholeheartedly, or would he oppose the reform and hate him to the bone?

He, Chen Tingjian, is dead. It doesn't matter whether future generations praise or abuse him, but he can't leave a mess to the whole family.

At dusk, Chen Jingzong hurried back to Chen's residence.

Hua Yang sat in the yard to enjoy the cool air, and there was a small table next to the wicker chair, full of melons and fruits.

After wearing white for a year, today she finally changed into a long dress with light pink peony embroidery. Although compared with her usual clothes, she still looks plain, but it also shows the change of her mood, like a beautiful and unparalleled white peonyFinally tired of the whiteness, the petals began to be dyed light red, and gradually evolved into a graceful and unparalleled red petal peony.

Chen Jingzong sat down beside her skillfully, and now Chaoyun and the others are also very good at serving the son-in-law, so they set up a rattan chair early.

Hua Yang held a round fan in his hand, and while fanning it gently, he glanced at Chen Jingzong: "Have you gone to greet your parents?"

Chen Jingzong: "I saw you last night, why should I greet you?"

Hua Yang frowned: "How long has it been since you came back, father can often see you outside, where is mother?"

Chen Jingzong: "If I was only seven or eight years old, she would really miss me if I haven't seen her for so long. Now that I am this age, she has children and grandchildren around her, how much can she miss me? Besides, sons are different from daughtersA daughter can cuddle and act coquettishly when she sees her mother, but what can I say when I see my mother? I don’t know how to speak sweetly, and if I choke her a few words, it will make her unhappy.”

Hua Yang: "I don't care, you go over there after dinner, lest mother misunderstand that I control you too tightly and don't allow you to be filial."

A woman marries to her husband’s house, and often has to go back to her mother’s house because it’s close. Chen Jingzong moved to Eldest Princess’s Residence with her, and he doesn’t care about his parents at all. What will the people in Chen’s house think?

Even if the mother-in-law is kind-hearted, Hua Yang does not want to become the "daughter-in-law" in "I forget my mother when I have a daughter-in-law" when others chat.

Chen Jingzong was not afraid of Lao Tzu and his mother, but Hua Yang took care of him, and he dared not refuse to listen.

In fact, it is daring, but if you offend Hua Yang, you have to sleep by yourself at night, and it’s no big deal to go to Chunhetang.

After dinner, Chen Jingzong strode to Chunhetang.

Night had fallen, but Chen Tingjian was still in the study, not knowing what to do, and Mrs. Sun didn't want to go to bed too early, sitting on the couch, talking to the maid beside her.

Sun was talking about her fourth son, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, and the servant girl coaxed her: "The long princess is gone, and she will come back to stay with her son-in-law in the future. Not only will you be able to see her son-in-law often, maybe you will have more fat grandchildren soon."It's over."

Mrs. Sun waved her hand and said in a low voice, "Don't mention this, the child will come naturally when fate comes. Don't worry if he doesn't come."

It is already a great blessing for the fourth child to marry the long princess. My family can't force the long princess to have a child. Mrs. Sun only hopes that the young couple will have a good relationship, and nothing else matters.

The maid just casually said something auspicious, and seeing the old lady like this, she changed the subject.

Chen Jingzong is here.

Sun wondered, "It's getting dark, what are you doing here?"

Chen Jingzong: "I'm not your good daughter-in-law, I blame me for not coming to say hello to you as soon as I got back home, I insist on making it up."

Mrs. Sun smiled, nodded and said: "That's right, the morning and evening Dingxing rules have to be set up for you."

Chen Jingzong: "Okay, she is your son, and I am your daughter-in-law."

"Nonsense, how decent!"

The door curtain was opened, and Chen Tingjian stepped in with a straight face.

How could he be the Inner Pavilion Chief-of-Staff? It was clearly a harsh winter wind, which froze the smiles on the faces of Mrs. Sun and Chen Jingzong when they entered the door.

Sun stared at him and said, "I was joking with my son, what are you doing here?"

Chen Tingjian looked at his son who was sitting next to his wife. It was obvious that his son had something to do at this time, so could he come and have a look?

Chen Jingzong: "Since you guys are going to rest, I'm leaving too."

Mrs. Sun grabbed her son's arm and sent Chen Tingjian to say: "Fourth brother, come and honor me, it has nothing to do with you, go back to your study!"

Chen Tingjian: ...

The unpopular Chief-of-Staff had no choice but to leave with a straight face.

Mrs. Sun saved up a lot of questions to ask her son, including last year's serious question but didn't get a serious answer: "Did you get injured on the battlefield?"

Chen Jingzong: "Even if I have a broken leg, I can take care of it for half a year. Do you still care about it?"

Sun: "I'm just thinking about it, you quickly take off the clothes on top and check it for me, otherwise I'm thinking about it for the rest of my life!"

There were only the mother and wife in the room, and Chen Jingzong reluctantly took off his outer robe and middle coat.

Sun looked at the front chest and then the back. The wound had already healed, but there were long and short scars left, which made Sun teary-eyed.

Chen Jingzong put on his clothes again, and said in a low voice: "Okay, so many people have not been able to come back, and your son still has to be full, please be content."

Sun: "I know what a fool. Once you become a military officer, you will be a military officer for the rest of your life. You will run away from now on!"

Chen Jingzong: "Run and run. My son has learned this martial art for the purpose of going to the battlefield. With the eldest brother and third brother guarding you, my son can rest assured wherever he goes."

Sun: "I'm a bad old woman, of course you are willing, but what about the long princess, are you willing to let her worry about it?"

Chen Jingzong smiled: "My mother, I am willing to make her worry, what is a daughter-in-law, I should miss me when I get married."

Sun laughed through tears, and slapped her son on the broad back: "Pretend to be a master in front of me, but in front of your daughter-in-law, you don't even dare to fart."

Chen Jingzong: ...

Mrs. Sun was wiping away her tears, but she didn't notice the temporary strangeness on her son's face.

After shedding tears this time, Sun felt relieved and urged: "Okay, let's go back, we have to hurry tomorrow morning."

Chen Jingzong just left.

Si Yitang.

Hua Yang was already lying on the Babu bed. Chen Jingzong stood outside and looked in. He saw a lotus flower bowl on the dressing table and smiled.

Hua Yang couldn't see how proud he was, and asked, "Where did you get it from?"

This lotus bowl is different from the lotus bowl they used to put in Eldest Princess’s Residence at the moment.

Chen Jingzong: "I asked the craftsmen to do the same as yours, so as to avoid the trouble of moving it around in the future, including the treasure. I have also found a way, and I don't need to ask the eldest princess to spend money in the future."

Hua Yang frowned: "You did it yourself?"

Chen Jingzong: "How could I be that stupid? Even if Jin Yiwei went to check the buyer, he wouldn't be able to find the two of us."

Hua Yang: ...

Should she praise him for his promise?

Seeing that she had nothing else to ask, Chen Jingzong went to the washstand and wiped it again with a wet towel.

In June, the weather was hot, and he was sweating again on his trip to and from Chunhetang.

Because the lotus bowl was not used a few times during the entire mourning period, Chen Jingzong took a lot of effort to make his delicate ancestor reluctantly accept all his offerings.

"It can be seen that this matter cannot be neglected, and it is almost time to catch up with the first marriage."

Chen Jingzong pressed against Hua Yang's ear, half complaining and half happy.

And the proud long princess simply ignored him because she couldn't speak a complete sentence.

It was almost the second watch, and the tent returned to calm.

Hua Yang likes to sleep with Chen Jingzong in the same bed in winter, but in summer he can't wait to let him lie on the ground.

She was wrapped in a thin quilt and slept on the innermost side, keeping the distance from Chen Jingzong.

Chen Jingzong doubted: "I am young now, you still need me, when I am old, will you separate the room with me?"

Hua Yang ignored his gag, and before the drowsiness came over him, he asked, "When you go to see your mother tonight, what did your father say?"

Chen Jingzong: "When he showed his face, his mother drove him to the study."

Hua Yang was relieved.

The father-in-law and Chen Jingzong had never had a flirtatious conversation, even if she used Chen Jingzong as a cover, the father-in-law would not insist on confronting Chen Jingzong.

What's more, Chen Jingzong refused to accept his father-in-law, which is obvious to all.
