    "Chen Xiyuan?" Chen Chuliu lowered his head and thought, then asked: "Heizi, did you bring the post?"

    "But he is here, but he doesn't want to see the young master. It seems that he will see him when he can see him, and forget about it if he can't." Chen Changshui handed over the door sticker, which read: To Shizhong, Minister of Rites, Censor  Knowing political affairs, Chen Yaozuo, a native of Langzhong, Langzhou, worshiped him.  Chen Chuliu was a little curious. Logically speaking, as a new member of politics, others should fawn over him. What was he doing in the Chen family now?  Moreover, this posture was so low, and he was not specifically meeting Chen Chuliu.

    When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Chen Chuliu tossed and turned over and over again, but he couldn't figure out what Chen Yaozuo meant.  When I returned home, I inquired about it and learned that Chen Yaozuo had left.  When asked about Zhou and Chen's father, Chen Shouren hurriedly said: "Son, you just happened to ask about it. I need to consult with you on this matter."

    "What's the matter?"

    "It's a happy event for your brother, Chen Shanxiu." Chen Shouren returned: "Master Chen came to the door. He first gave your mother Gastrodia elata and asked about her health. Then they talked. He came just to catch his son-in-law. He has a daughter who is waiting to be married.  , your brother Shanxiu looks at the time and he will be fifteen years old. So I thought that we would make an appointment to get married, and we would get married when we are old enough."

    "Huh? Our surname is Chen, and his surname is Chen. How can we get married if we have the same surname?"

    "This is too confusing." Chen Shouren shook his head and said, "Mr. Chen, he said that his family lineage is not the same as ours, let alone a branch of ours. Although they have the same surname, they are incompatible with each other. Even if they have something, they are still relatives.  Isn¡¯t it better to get married? Dad thinks that Mr. Chen attaches great importance to such a marriage."

    "It's a marriage. The parents order the matchmaker. What do you think of this marriage?"

    Zhou and Chen Shouren nodded: "Aren't you here to advise me? Why do you suddenly propose marriage to our family because you are involved in politics? It depends on us. If you marry a daughter from a high family, you will marry a daughter-in-law from a low family. I heard that the family has a son.  They are all officials. If Shanxiu marries into his family, will he be wronged? I am afraid that some people will say that Shanxiu is clinging to other people's families."

    Chen Chuliu shook his head and said: "Ya'er is the daughter of the royal family. Doesn't this mean she married a high-ranking family? But after Ya'er entered our house, she never contradicted her parents and was very filial. These two people still have to live with each other.  Love is pleasing to the eye, but forceful melons are not sweet. This kind of thing depends on the meaning of good cultivation."

    "What can he understand? By the time he understands, the day lily will be cold." Chen Shouren coughed lightly: "In terms of family status, our Chen family are relatives of the emperor. We are no worse than their Chen family, but we are a little less Jinshi."

    "Don't be afraid. Doesn't a good cultivator still have an official position? So what if there are many Jinshi in his family, and he doesn't have the number one scholar. His daughter is just a commoner." Mrs. Zhou curled her lips and said: "Marrying into our Chen family is not considered a high ranking.  , but it doesn¡¯t count as getting married. I also heard that although the Chen family has many officials, they don¡¯t have much money.¡±

    Chen Shouren spread his hands: "Your mother thinks that this marriage can be done, but my father thinks that the reason why the Chen family is so eager to propose marriage is because the eldest daughter is unable to get married, or she is too ugly, and she is trying to figure something out. Otherwise this  If you are neither a relative nor an acquaintance, and there is no introduction from a good matchmaker, how can you come here?"

    Chen Chuliu said with a smile: "In terms of family status, they are indeed a head above us, but ten years later, they may not be able to compare with us in terms of family status. Chen Yaozuo must have taken a fancy to this, so he personally  Came here to catch my son-in-law. In my opinion, this marriage is a perfect match. But I still have to inquire about their daughter¡¯s temperament, so as not to invite a Buddha back and then call the good cultivator to ask him what he wants.¡±

    Chen Shouren nudged Chen Chuliu: "You are his brother. It is most appropriate for you to talk about this matter. Dad and your mother will go and find out the news. If Shanxiu nods and the woman is suitable, we will make arrangements to find an auspicious day and meet together.  Go to Daxiangguo Temple with the Chen family to worship incense and let them meet in person."

    Chen Chuliu naturally agreed. Now that he has some free time, let¡¯s start doing some housework.  Chen Chuliu was still thinking that Chen Yaozuo was also an extraordinary figure in history, and it was impossible for him not to be able to see the current situation clearly.  If Chen Yaozuo really rose to the challenge, then Chen Chuliu would have to admire Chen Yaozuo.

    When others see Chen Chuliu losing power, they can sense that Chen Chuliu will be demoted soon and stay away appropriately. This is considered to have extraordinary eyesight.  A few years later, Chen Chuliu may return as the king.  But Chen Chuliu himself didn't dare to vouch for this kind of thing.  Chen Yaozuo must have seen this step when he "invested" in the Chen family at this time. Such foresight was truly remarkable.

    After dinner, Chen Chuliu came to Chen Shanxiu's study and saw Chen Shanxiu still reading under the candlelight.  When he pushed the door open, the wooden door suddenly creaked. Chen Shanxiu shuddered and quickly put the book down.  It was placed very "naturally", as if I had just finished reading a book.  Chen Shanxiu opened another book, which just covered the original one.  Under the candlelight, Chen Shanxiu was full ofThey are all red.

    Chen Chuliu had a panoramic view of this scene, but although Chen Chuliu was curious, he pretended not to notice. He sat on a chair not far away and asked calmly: "I just read a book after eating. It seems that  Following my father-in-law, my diligent cultivation has improved a lot."

    Chen Shanxiu took his mind off the book and said as if he had just noticed someone coming in, "Huh? The eldest brother came in, yes, yes, my father-in-law held on tightly, and I dare not neglect him."

    Chen Chuliu asked again: "After you return to Linchuan this time, you have to prepare for the county examination. You can finally be admitted to the county school. Don't rely on our family's relationship. Although the level of my father-in-law is much higher than that of the county school."  , but in county school, what you learn is not just book knowledge, but more important, how to behave in society."

    "These brothers certainly know. My father-in-law taught me that understanding human feelings is like writing. Reading a person's words and deeds is better than reading a book of rites."

    "Hmm" Chen Chuliu nodded. It seemed that Li Chengqi's teaching was really good. After chatting for a while, Chen Chuliu asked: "Today, Chen Yaozuo, the counselor and political minister, came to visit. He said that he wanted to teach his daughter a lesson.  Marriage. I've taken a fancy to you and want to arrange a marriage with you. What do you think?"

    "Ah? This, this is not good." Chen Shanxiu was a little embarrassed and shook his head subconsciously: "I am still young, and it is time to study hard. I am not in a hurry to get married. Brother, I must at least wait until I pass the exam.  , Let¡¯s talk about marriage again. Brother, you don¡¯t have to persuade me. "

    "But I heard that the daughter of the Chen family, a fish and a goose, is shy of flowers after closing the moon, has a scholarly family, and is waiting in the boudoir. After passing this village, there is no such shop."

    "Brother!" Chen Shanxiu pouted and said angrily, "Brother, I have to study hard."

    "That's fine, but when someone comes to your door, you have to return the gift, don't you think? The woman may be in love with her, but if you don't go, wouldn't you let her down?"

    "This" Chen Shanxiu nodded and said: "Yes, being polite is a good thing. If you refuse so bluntly, it means you are not showing any kindness at all. For long-term reasons, I'd better go there, right?" (Remember this book)  Website address: www.hlnovel.com
