Chapter 205: Shabu! Shabu! Shabu!

After having a lunch at the eldest son's house that was ignorant, Chen Jing said goodbye and hurried home. He saw several personal soldiers hanging lanterns and pasting window flowers under the command of Chunhua, laughing and joking, and a festive atmosphere.

Seeing Chen Si coming in, everyone quickly stopped their work and greeted the adults. Chen Si nodded with his face and called Chunhua into the study room in the backyard.

Everyone thought that it was pretty good when they got off the boat, but why did they come back like this? So they grabbed Chen An and asked, but he scolded him in anger: "Eat salty radish and worry about it, and stick to your window flowers!"

There was no brazier in the backyard study room, as cold as an ice cave. I was silent but felt hot all over, staring at Chunhua, who was trembling and said, "What is my father's attitude?"

Chunhua lowered her head and whispered: "Master, what you mean is that it depends on what you mean by your opinion..."

"Will it get such a field?" Chen Si picked up the teacup and wanted to take a sip, but it seemed like he was licking the iron fool. He made him 'oh' and smashed the teacup from Jingdezhen to pieces. The tea splashed all over him. He couldn't help but scolded in anger: "How do you work? This water is just right to burn your feet!" The teacup that Rou Niang brought to him could always be drunk directly.

Chunhua said aggrievedly: "Will you wait for the cold to drink..."

Chen Ji then remembered that she was a rough maid, how could she compare to Rou Niang? So she sighed and stopped talking, "Since my father said that, why did he still get this point?"

Chunhua bit her lip and whispered: "There is a rumor outside that the master took the initiative to propose marriage, which is wrong. In fact, Grandpa Lu personally asked the master to become a family of children. Because he also asked the prefect Tang to help him talk, the master was not willing to refuse it at once." Speaking of these gossips, she said: "I said I would wait for the young master to come back before talking. County Magistrate Tang said, let's see if the two of them have a compatible horoscope first. If they are in conflict, don't make any more effort."

"What happened later?" I heard that it wasn't my father who sold him, so I felt much better in my heart.

"The master is a real person, so he believed the two adults and finally found Zhou Banxian, the most famous person in the city, to see it," Chunhua said with a solemn look: "Young master, you and that Miss Lu are..."

"'Golden and jade are a marriage made by heaven', right?" Chen Shu said angrily: "You can believe fortune telling, and sows can climb trees."

"No, no," Chunhua shook her head quickly and said, "Zhou Banxian said, Young Master, your fate is both prominent and dangerous. You may also be the first-rank official, rich and powerful, or you may be ruined and ruin your descendants. You also advise Grandpa Lu to consider it carefully."

Silently, anyone who is involved in the officialdom, except for the most mediocre people, may not escape these two fates... Fortune-telling people are indeed well versed in the way of mistreating people. So Chunhua continued: "I heard from the master that Grandpa Lu was not very happy at that time. It was better for the prefect Tang to say, 'Let's look at Miss Lu's horoscope again.' Then Zhou Banxian calculated for a while and praised Miss Lu's fate for the rest of her life, saying that she was a noble man Yinan Yijia. If you marry her, you will definitely be able to die in the face of the glory and be glorious for the rest of your life."

After hearing this silently, he laughed in anger and said, "Then my father believed it?"

"The master had already drunk too much that day and was frightened by the fortune teller. When he heard that the young master had to go to Miss Lu before he could be killed, Cheng Xiang changed his mind and in turn he ordered Grandpa Lu to form this marriage."

He closed his eyes silently and helplessly. He knew that his stupid father had been fooled by County Magistrate Lu and even Tang Shunzhi. He found a fortune teller and cooperated with a fancy act, so he asked him to come back and beg for marriage...

‘He has been in the public office for several years, why is it so easy to fool?’ Chen Si moaned weakly in his heart. He found that he was extremely passive. He stood up and shouted: “At worst, I will become a monk and become a real monk. I will see who can plot against me again!”

All afternoon, Chen Si locked himself in the house until the lights were held. Chen An asked to come out when he finished the meal and asked with a dark face: "Have you not come back yet?"

"The master sent a message back," Chen An said with a smile: "The official business in the yamen is busy, so he won't come back today."

"It's been holidaying at noon today, so why are you still busy?" Chen Si said angrily: "Prepare the car and go to the government office."

Chen An knew that he would never touch the young master's bad intentions at this time, so he quickly went to the back to prepare the car, and soon took Chen Si to Fuqian Street with Chen Qian.

As the age of years approaches, there are few people on the street and the car is running very fast. In less than a quarter of an hour, the personal soldiers came forward to knock on the door. It took a long time for an old servant to open the side door. After silently reporting to the door, the old man at the door smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao Shen is here. Mr. Shen is in the doorman and insists on pulling the old man to drink, so that I can't even go home."

Chen Silently smiled and said, "I'll take him back now." Then he followed the old man in the door and pushed open the door to take a look. He saw that it was steaming inside. Before he could see the person clearly, he heard Chen He's voice saying, "If you don't come back, you'll be old..."

Chen Si raised his hand and asked the old man and his personal soldiers to retreat, but he dragged the bench and sat down in front of Shen He.

Chen He heard that it was abnormal, and then he leaned over from behind the hot pot with white air. When he saw that it was him, he immediately said "Ouch" and covered his old face with both hands.

He laughed silently and said, "Is this the invisibility method you learned by Lao Xin?"

Chen He also felt that his actions were childish and couldn't help but smile embarrassedly: "Aren't I afraid of seeing you?"

"Am I that scary?" Chen Shun said angrily: "Dad, you don't go home during the New Year, and come to have hot pot with the old man in the door." He said a little annoyed: "If others know, you might even poke my backbone."

"I'm not trying to hide from you." Chen He smiled and said, "I just think about something first, and then go home after I think about it."

"Do you feel that you can't explain it?" Chen Si sneered: "Everyone in the city knows, what else can I explain?"

Chen He sighed and said, "Son, I blame Dad for being confused about this for a while, but when I turned around, I woke up." He said, patted his chest and said, "Didn't you just drag it all the time? You didn't even give a betrothal gift? I'll just wait for you to come back."

"Is that right?" said quietly and smiled, "Why did you hear that? It was because County Magistrate Lu insisted on asking me to go to Shanyin to hire me, so I have been delayed until now?"

Chen He blushed and said, "So you've found out clearly..." and said, "I'm so stupid. If you're angry, just scold your father. You can't run away from home again."

Looking at my father's anxious look, he sighed silently: "If you run away from home can solve the problem, I will have traveled as far as I can!"

Chen He was frowning there, but Chen Si took a pair of clean bowls and chopsticks, took out a bowl of mutton from the hot pot, and dipped it in leek sauce to eat it. Chen He saw it and hurriedly said, "These are old, I'll give you some fresh ones."

Silent but not caring, he lowered his head and kept eating hard. Under the reflection of the charcoal fire, his face was still a bit ferocious, throwing all his usual demeanor to Java.

Seeing that his son was eating happily, Chen He simply left his worries and ate them hard with him. The father and son were so happy to eat. It was really ‘red copper cauldron, boiled soup and boiled meat. Small ingredients were shrimp oil and red fermented bean curd, sweating profusely.’

After a while of gluttony, his silent belly was filled with mutton hotpot, and there were also many fish balls, shrimp balls, conch meat, and fresh mushrooms. The anger he had been suppressing was numb by the feeling of fullness. It seemed that "turning grief and anger into appetite" was indeed the most righteous thing in the world. As long as people eat enough, their anger will become dull...

But if you drink some more wine, it will become a 'spoken word after drinking'. And while Siren was drinking a small jar of old wine during the meal, his face gradually became rosy, his eyes began to shine, and his words gradually became more and more: "Someone in the court plotted against Zhang Butang, in order to seize control of the Southeast and gain greater power; but why did he plot against us as a "mung bean fly"? Could it be that his daughter could not get married, and he had to use such despicable means?"

Chen He was also a little drunk. He laughed and said, "This means that my son is so popular. They all want to take the first place. Can you benefit from it with you?"

"Get rid of the light? Go dream!" Chen Si laughed and said, "Even Zhang Butang, the head of the dynasty, could collapse overnight, and he almost couldn't even save his life. This Ming Dynasty official is extremely boring!" Obviously, the fall of Governor Zhang had a great impact on his belief in silence.

Chen He heard the slap in his son's tone and asked with concern: "What are you going to do?"

"I won't play anymore, I won't play anymore." Chen Si shook his head and said, "This Ming Dynasty officialdom is too dangerous, especially in the current Southeast, which has become a battlefield for the struggle between officials in the court. Honor, disgrace, rise and fall are not something I can control..." He said, "I seem to be profitable this time, but who knows whether I will live or die next time the earthquake?"

Chen He's concern for his son himself is far better than passing on his family and glorifying his ancestors. He repeatedly said after hearing this: "Then after the New Year, we will go back to the palace to report, prepare for the imperial examinations, wait for the high school Jinshi, and jump out of the southeastern place."
