Chapter 127 The joy of housewarming

Chapter 127: Happy Moving

On the eighth day of the lunar month, Mr. Shen took Chen Jing and prepared gifts, and took a bus to the old house of Chen's house on the west side of Yongchangfang.

Chen Jing has never been here since the New Year. He can still remember that the roof of the house was covered with grass, and the flour peeled off the walls, revealing the yellow adobe inside. The door was also broken and shaky, making people worried that it would fall down at any time.

But when he helped his father get out of the car, he could no longer find the dilapidated scene in his memory... The grassy adobe wall disappeared, replaced by blue bricks, black tiles and pink walls; the dilapidated door was no longer there, and it was replaced by a solemn and thick black painted door. Looking at the new stone hoop door frame, the stone steps were all taller and larger than other people's.

Others can only stare at me because only the scholar's family allows the door to be raised.

A servant in brand new green clothes stood at the door. When they saw them, they greeted them with a smile on their faces and said, "I wish you good health, I don't know that Taifu Xian Township is easy to come in and report..." Before he finished speaking, someone kicked him and said, "Chen An, don't you let you drop your book bag?"

"Young Master is here." Chen An covered his pp and turned around and smiled, "The master said, 'Our family is a scholarly family', and we should be gentle as servants."

He rubbed his eyebrows helplessly and saluted Master Shen respectfully and said, "Uncle, you are laughing."

Mr. Shen laughed and said, "It's okay, I think this kid is very interesting."

Chen Si shook his head and smiled, "I still need discipline, it will be fine after a while." Then he invited the two of them in.

When Mr. Shen entered the door, he saw a five-bedroom house facing north and south. The walls were painted white and clean. A row of long lattice windows were framed on the bluestone window sills, bringing bright sunshine to the house.

Look at the yard five feet square, the ground is paved with blue bricks, and it is spotlessly washed. Apart from a tall soapberry tree in the north corner and the stone tables and benches under the tree, there are no other extra items, which looks very spacious.

Mr. Shen was used to seeing the finely crafted and tightly scattered Jiangnan houses. When he suddenly saw such a grand and neat house, he felt refreshed and said three times.

But Chen He, who was greeted, was so happy that he bowed to Mr. Shen and smiled humbly: "Brother, I'm sorry."

Mr. Shen was about to say 'Don't be too humble', but Chen He pulled him back and walked: "The front yard is full of clumsy words. I will take you to the back and take a look. Where is my hard work."

Mr. Shen had no choice but to laugh with him through the Yuemen Cave and arrived at the garden where he was second. As soon as he entered, he saw a rockery built close to the east wall. Flowers and trees were planted on the hillside. Although it was only a small area, it also had a natural wonder. Look at the garden planting green bamboos, which were blown by the breeze, and the bamboo shadows were swaying. There were pebbles paths in the garden, and bananas, pomegranates and grapes were planted all over the four corners, as well as orchids, daylily and many bonsais. It is indeed very different from the front yard style.

Chen He smiled proudly and said, "These flower trees were transplanted from other places last month. Can't you see them?"

Mr. Shen was finally surprised and said, "Can you be so green?" After a closer look, there was no wilt in it. He couldn't help but sigh, "The Feng Shui in this house has begun."

Following Chen He through the small bamboo forest, he suddenly opened his eyes and saw a row of houses in the second place. There was a small pool with a small pool with clear water and golden scales swimming. Next to the pool was a big tree with green branches and trunks and a canopy.

Under the thick shade, there were already a table of Eight Immortals and four chairs of the Grand Master. Two Yixing sand teapots were placed on the table, with hair tips and mustard slices soaked, and four extremely delicate kiln cups placed at the four corners of the table. Among them were seven or eight small plates - containing crystal dumplings, sautés, mung bean cakes, lentil cakes, honey orange cakes, leek boxes, and spring rolls. There was also a maid standing next to it.

Chen He invited Mr. Shen to attend the seat and took the initiative to accompany him. Chen Jing also sat down in silence, and the maid started making tea. After seeing the earth-shaking changes in his family, Mr. Shen said happily for the two of them: "Brother Yu saw you two with your own eyes, step by step, and it is really... not easy."

After hearing this, Chen He couldn't help but remember the situation when he lived in a straw shed and borrowed the attic. At that time, he didn't even have money to see a doctor. He never dared to think about what he is today. He sighed and said, "Yes, the changes are so big." As he said that, his eyes turned red and he choked up, "It's a pity that his grandparents didn't look at it."

Seeing that the old uncle was about to cry, Chen Jing quickly interrupted: "For such a big good thing, we should invite more relatives and friends, and we should celebrate together."

Chen Si nodded and smiled, "I think it's okay to be happy, but my father said he couldn't do it, so he had to give up."

Chen Jing wiped his eyes and smiled embarrassedly: "My words hit the top of the two tests. After the hospital examination next month, you must hold a banquet. If you also show it this time, it will be too close to you twice, and it seems to be showing off."

Mr. Shen nodded in praise and said, "Our family is a scholar, so we should be more low-key."

Chen He nodded and responded. Several people ate tea for a while. Mr. Shen put down the teacup, looked at Chen He and said, "I'm here today. I want to ask you two about your opinion."

The father and son nodded and smiled, "Please speak."

Mr. Shen smiled and looked at Chen Jing and said, "You'd better tell me."

Chen Jing looked at Chen Silently with a smile: "Chaosheng, what my father means is, do you mind having a stepmother?"

Chen Mo was drinking water. Hearing this, he quickly turned his head and said 'puff', almost spraying it on the table. He quickly wiped his mouth with a towel, apologized and smiled at Mr. Shen, and then glared at Chen Jing and said, "What the hell is going on?"

Mr. Shen took the conversation and laughed: "Human ethics is a big deal! I am going to help your father re-string, are you willing?"

He said silently: 'Of course I don't want it anymore.' The two of them lived well, and suddenly a little outsider came in. No one would want to change. He glanced at his father, and saw that he looked at him pitifully, and suddenly realized: "So you three are colluding!"

The three of them laughed and didn't say anything, obviously he was right.

Chen He looked at Chen He who was begging on his face silently, and sighed in his heart: 'Youdao is a man's forty-one flowers, a car, a house and a money, which is the true portrayal of the old man now.' Then he sighed and said, "Let me tell me who the other person is." In fact, since Chen He made a personal appearance, he knew that this day would come sooner or later.

"Tell you the truth. Uncle is interested in the second daughter of Hu Baotian's family in Chenghuangmiao Street, and the serious daughter of the serious family. I will just nod and go to the hiring for you."

"How old?" Chen Shun asked with his eyes narrowed.

"I'm very old." Chen He whispered.

“How big is it?”

"It will be eighteen next month." Chen He lowered his head. It is extremely rare for women to marry in this era to be unable to marry in the eighteenth, so it makes sense for him to say this.

But silent couldn't stand this truth. When I heard it, I almost got the same age as myself. My head buzzed and pulled my face down for the first time and said, "You are willing to find a wife, but I don't want to find a mother!" As he said that, he turned his face angrily.

Chen Heshao blushed and lowered his head and refused to speak. Mr. Shen had to persuade him with great sincerity: "You are a sensible child. Think about it, your father is only 36 years old this year, so you can't be a widower for the rest of your life, right?" He said, "Besides, it's a sure thing for you to pass the Jinshi exam. At that time, you can go to another place to become an official and throw your father away alone. Can you feel at ease?"

After hearing Mr. Shen's words, he remained silent for a moment and said softly: "I also feel that I understand the truth and can't let my father have no companion for the rest of his life." As he said that, he looked at his family and said: "But at least you can find someone who is right?" One is three or six, and the other is eighteen, which is exactly twice as different.

"What does it mean to be right?" Chen He asked carefully.

"The widower is very good at widows." Chen Shu said angrily: "If you find someone, I will admit it even if you are in trouble."

Chen He then raised his head and said, "We are from a scholarly family, how can we marry a widow? It ruined the family style in vain."

Silent rolled his eyes and said, "The widower can remarry, but the widow cannot remarry. This rule is really nonsense." He touched his nose hard and said in a muffled voice: "Then look for it and see who has an old girl."

"You can't beat my uncle!" Chen Jing said while speaking: "What uncle wants, why should we marry someone who can't get married?"

"If the relationship is not the eldest daughter of Huanghua, will not marry?" Chen Chen hugged his chest with his hands, with no expression on his face.

Chen He nodded, and said like a mosquito, "You will be a high-ranking official in the future, and you can't embarrass you, right?" He said with a flattering smile and said, "You don't need to call me, just call me aunt. Your aunt is very good and will not treat you badly."

"Just treat you badly." Silently waved his hand and said, "You can watch it, I don't care." Then he stopped talking.

After sitting for a while, he took the excuse to find Xu Wei and left the table.

Looking at his back without looking back, Chen He smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect that he would react so much, and I didn't usually see that he was so generous."

Mr. Shen comforted: "Maybe it can't be accepted for a while, just look back and think about it."

"Impossible." Chen Jing shook his head and said, "Chaosheng has decided on the matter and has never changed it once, so don't expect him to pay attention."

"What should I do? The betrothal gifts have been given." Chen He said anxiously, and it turned out that he was still talking casually just now.

"Don't worry, I'll think about it..." Chen Jing scratched his head hard, and the bad idea gushed out and said, "If you have it, find him a wife."

Chen He was an ancient man after all, and it was inevitable that he would have made such a choice and conform to the customs of the time, which was in fact nothing wrong with it.
