"This is the shortcoming of the Hanshi, and the children of the family, who have been clothed and fed since childhood, will naturally not be like this. Therefore, the dynasty rules the world with a family, and only then can it be like a prosperous situation. ”

Chen Shihong's words provoked Siyun's chuckle, and Chen Shihong asked Siyun if he had said something wrong.

"Chen Xianggong, this greed for money is something that everyone has, not to mention the children of the family, even if they are the children of the heavenly family, they will also be greedy for money, this ancient and modern, this prince loves money, and there are fewer people who mess up the world?"

Chen Shihong thought about it for a while and told Siyun that at least the children of the family were more likely to despise money than Han Shi.

"This should be said to be temperamental, but if you really want to talk about it, it's true that the children of the family don't care about money."

Siyun was reluctant to talk about it, but told Chen Shihong that Cao Xixiong arrived in Haining City yesterday, and whether Chen Shihong was going to visit.

"This, what is Cao Xixiong doing here?"

"Of course, it's to visit Uncle Xinwu, Uncle Xinwu visited him last time, and now it is natural that he should visit Uncle Xinwu."

When Siyun said this, he said with a smile: "Chen Xianggong, if you don't take the initiative and find a person who is a vake, then the flower will bloom but it will not be broken, and you will regret it for the rest of your life, wouldn't it be a pity." ”

"Uncle Xin Wu has already rejected this matter, and he must not break his promise."

"Chen Xianggong, Chen Xianggong, you are really messed up, this since ancient times, pay attention to the words of the parents' order matchmaker, now Cao Xixiong's eldest brother is like a father, as long as it makes sense of Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Lin agreed, even if you believe that Uncle Wu is unwilling, what can you do, and when Mrs. Lin plays, I implore the saint to give marriage, Chen Xianggong thinks that the saint will be the beauty of adulthood."

When Chen Shihong heard this, he was flustered and didn't say a word, Siyun continued: "Chen Xianggong, you are a decisive person, how did you encounter this matter, just get up with your mother-in-law, Chen Xianggong, the best way now is to let Xin Wubo come forward and be a matchmaker for you, whether this matter is successful or not, it is not good for Xin Wubo to marry Miss Cao as his wife." ”

"This, this"

Chen Shihong thought that he was sorry for Lin Duowen like this, but it was indeed a good way, he was at war with heaven and man in his heart, and in the end he still had no decision.

At this time, Cao Xixiong had already arrived at the academy and met Chen Jingjing, he first expressed his apologies, saying that when Chen Jingjing was on her birthday, he couldn't get out because of some things, and he couldn't come here to celebrate Chen Jingjing's birthday in person.

Chen Jingjing naturally said that it was okay for Cao Xixiong to have such a mind, and then asked Cao Chifeng about it.

Cao Xixiong was overjoyed, and naturally boasted about his sister's affairs, including going to the Qiu Guanfu to avenge his father's grievances. Saying this, Cao Xixiong noticed that he was talkative, and inadvertently said that his father had impeached Lin Quan, Cao Xixiong hurriedly remedied, saying that his father did not understand the selflessness of Wen Zhenggong at that time, and lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and asked Chen Jingjing for forgiveness.

Chen Jingjing said that she didn't mind, but in her heart she was unhappy with Cao Xixiong talking about her father like this.

After Cao Xixiong finished speaking, Chen Jingjing said a reluctant invitation, saying that after Lin Bingmei left, she would have one less daughter to talk to, and she hoped that Cao Chifeng could go to the academy and comfort herself.

Cao Xixiong knew that this was the unspoken rule of the Yu Dynasty, and letting a woman surnamed her live in his own house meant that he had the heart of marriage.

If Cao Xixiong refuses, then he means that he does not agree to such a marriage.

The advantage of this is that both sides did not name names, and even if they refused, it would be too offensive, after all, both sides saved face.

In addition, after the woman arrives, the mother can also inspect her character, and if she is not satisfied, she can let the woman leave.

This is an extension of the horse ceremony, the March of the horse ceremony, is an inspection between husband and wife, and this is an inspection of parents.

Cao Xixiong naturally would not refuse, saying that it was an honor for their family that his sister could accept Chen Jingjing's teaching.

Chen Jingjing didn't say much, turned around and left, Lin Duowen on the side could finally speak, but he didn't know how to speak.

He didn't know how Chen Jingjing knew about Cao Chifeng, but it was not easy to tell Chen Jingjing about himself and Cao Chifeng, he was worried that with Chen Jingjing's temper, he would think that he had been wronged and would insist on doing it.

Now the entire Lin Mansion is Chen Jingjing's house, and what Chen Jingjing said, they can't disobey it.

Cao Xixiong saw that Lin Duowen didn't speak, thinking that Lin Duowen was holding his own identity and unwilling to reveal his heart, so he spoke first and said: "After the sister arrives, please believe in Uncle Wu, you have more forbearance." ”

"This, this"

"The sister's bad temper is caused by the lack of kindness in her childhood, please believe in Uncle Wu and you can Haihan. As the saying goes, good men don't fight with women, and this prime minister can hold the boat in his belly. ”

Lin Duowen was also extremely conflicted in his heart, so he spoke, and then Cao Xixiong left because he wanted to pick up his sister.

Cao Xixiong returned to Hailan City and told Cao Chifeng about it, and after Cao Chifeng heard it, he sighed and said, "It seems that brother, you insist on doing this." ”

"Sister, it is your blessing that you can be received by Mrs. Lin, many ladies are eager to marry into the Lin Mansion, but they don't have that blessing. I'm an older brother for your own good. Think about it, that Li Sheng, compared to Xinwu Bo, is really different from stone and jade. ”

Cao Chifeng thought that Cao Xixiong's words were right, but Li Sheng was jade, and Xinwubo was stone.

However, Cao Chifeng and a woman can't be the master, so she can only take a carriage and go to the academy.

On the way, Cao Chifeng missed Li Shenglai, and thought in his heart that it was impossible for him to be with him after all, and when Li Sheng came back from high school, he was afraid that he would have married into the Lin Mansion.

With sorrow, when I arrived at the academy, I entered through the back door of the academy, and the academy was also properly arranged, and a road was built with a screen at the back door, so that Cao Chifeng would not be seen by the scholars of the academy.

This arrived at the show building where Lin Bingmei was, after going upstairs, Cao Chifeng saw Chen Jingjing and Yuan Lihua, Cao Chifeng saluted respectfully and said: "The folk girl Cao Chifeng has seen two ladies, and the two ladies are auspicious. ”

Chen Jingjing and Yuan Lihua nodded, thinking that Lin Duowen's vision was good, and this Cao Chifeng's appearance and temperament were all the best choice.

Yuan Lihua and Cao Chifeng exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then inspected Cao Chifeng's education.

Cao Chifeng was still a little sad at first, but when she talked about poetry with Yuan Lihua, she had some admiration in her heart.

Yuan Lihua talks about poetry, not into the norm, often has amazing insights.

Cao Chifeng is also a person who loves poetry, and when he met Yuan Lihua, a good player, he was naturally overjoyed and forgot about it.

The two sides talked for an hour, and Cao Chifeng sighed: "Mrs. Lin, I didn't expect that your views on the way of poetry are comparable to those of Wen Zhenggong. ”

At this time, Chen Jingjing covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, my father's kung fu in poetry is not as good as my sister, and what the poems of the three dynasties are actually written by her, but they are only included in my father's collection." ”

After Cao Chifeng heard this, he was shocked and couldn't believe it.

Yuan Lihua said that it was just because Lin Quan was busy with the economy, so he naturally neglected this poetic path.

Cao Chifeng knew that Lin Duowen was the son of Mrs. Lin, and sighed in his heart, he was really a tiger father and a dog, Lin Duowen's parents were both masters of poetry, and Lin Duowen couldn't even make a proposition poem.

Cao Chifeng, of course, this is prejudice, no matter how bad Lin Duowen is, there is still no problem in writing a limerick poem or a poem of Yinghe, but he panicked that day, and he wanted to satisfy Cao Chifeng, so he didn't write it.

Yuan Lihua looked at Cao Chifeng's eyes and knew Cao Chifeng's thoughts.

Lin Duowen's poetry level, her mother-in-law naturally knows it, in a group of sons and brothers, it is enough, if it is put in Shilin, it is really not enough.

Yuan Lihua didn't mention Lin Duowen, and continued to chat with Cao Chifeng, so that when it was time for dinner, she also asked the servant to send the dinner to Xiu Lou.

After dinner, Yuan Lihua said goodbye to Chen Jingjing, and after going downstairs, Chen Jingjing quipped: "Sister, this daughter-in-law, are you still satisfied." ”

"At that time, it was just my sister as rumored, and now I'm worried that Duowen won't be worthy of her."

"Sister, you're talking nonsense, what's wrong with smelling more."

Yuan Lihua didn't talk much, and when Lin Duowen came to ask for peace, Yuan Lihua asked: "My son, I'll ask you something, and you have to answer honestly." ”

"Mother, please speak."

"Do you like this Miss Cao?"

After Lin Duo heard this, he couldn't help blushing and didn't dare to speak.

"That's it, I understand your thoughts, it's just that this matter is a little difficult to do, this girl of the Cao family, without you in my heart, if you have your father's knowledge, then you don't have to embarrass me."

"If the child is not good, please punish the mother." Lin Duowen knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.

"Get up, people who are so big, just like when they were children, confess their sins at every turn. Alas, whoever called you my son, I will naturally help you deal with this matter. ”

When Lin Duo heard this, he hesitated, but still said the matter of replying to the letter.

After hearing this, Lin Duo asked again: "Mother, the child does not know what to do, and I ask my mother to give a lecture." ”

"You, you, this matter has nothing to do with you, leave everything to me. I hope that after you get married, you will be able to study hard and put away your past playfulness. Your eldest brother is now studying under your cousin of the Ye family, and his daily knowledge record has also been sent, and his knowledge has grown a lot. ”

Lin Duowen said that he would definitely concentrate on studying and would not be idle. It's just that he still has some regrets about marrying Cao Chifeng.

Yuan Lihua said that they would arrange this matter, Lin Duowen didn't have to think too much, when Lin Duowen retreated, Yuan Lihua looked at Lin Duowen's back, and thought of herself at the beginning, if it was before, she would never do this, but helplessly, this Lin Duowen is his own flesh and blood after all, and he can only wronged Cao Chifeng.
