Chapter 216 2 in 1
"Well, where is my sister going?" Chen Yingchao asked.
Chen Jingxian said, "I just came out of my grandmother's place and was about to go back. At this time, Second Uncle thinks that he just returned home, and Brother has something to do with Second Uncle?"
"It's okay. When my second uncle came back, I happened to meet him, so I came over to have a seat." Chen Yingchao didn't intend to mention it.
Chen Yunxian has two sons and one daughter, the one who most resembles him in temperament is not Chen Yingchao, but Chen Jingxian.
"Brother is lying." Chen Jingxian exposed him with a smile.
Chen Yingchao was not annoyed either, "Why do you see that?"
"My brother intends to participate in this year's big competition, but my father rejected it. My brother came to look for my second uncle, but I want my second uncle to come forward to persuade my father?" No matter how smart Chen Jingxian was, she didn't know the previous situation, so it's not bad to be able to guess these things.
Chen Yingchao smiled and said, "I didn't want my second uncle to come forward to convince my father."
"No?" Chen Jingxian was taken aback, "Then..."
"Go sit in my yard?" Chen Yingchao said.
Chen Jingxian happened to be fine, so she agreed.
The two brothers and sisters came to Chen Yingchao's yard, and Chen Yingchao soaked in the Dahongpao that Chen Yunju had brought back for his younger sister.
"I don't know how Second Uncle's Dahongpao is grown. The scent...is really good." Chen Yingchao said.
Chen Jingxian said, "Second Uncle is proficient in these small ways. As long as I can remember, Second Uncle likes to cook these foods and drinks."
Chen Yingchao also laughed, "I am deeply touched by this."
"Don't gossip too much, brother didn't invite me here for tea, right?" Chen Jingxian smiled.
Chen Yingchao was silent, sighed, and told his sister about the conflict with his father and the conversation with his second uncle.
"Sister, am I really overthinking myself?"
Chen Jingxian was quiet for a while, then asked, "Does brother want to hear the truth?"
Chen Yingchao is very energetic and proud, but he is not stupid.
Tell him this clearly, you just overestimate your capabilities.
Chen Yingchao's expression collapsed.
"It's not that I don't believe in my brother, but my brother has been studying at Baihe Academy all these years, and the time spent with my father is not even as good as mine. My sister's studies are all taught by my father. My father's knowledge is unfathomable, but Brother, you, I understand." Chen Jingxian didn't say much, but her meaning was obvious.
Father's side is unfathomable, but Chen Yingchao's side is something she knows very well.
at a glance...
Chen Yingchao sighed, "I..."
"Father didn't let my brother take the exam, because he didn't want you to be hit and devastated." Chen Jingxian said, "My brother, whether it's the father or the second uncle, never cared what those people outside said, but you cared too much."
As a result, some lost themselves.
Chen Yingchao was silent.
"In this dynasty, only my father and my second uncle won six yuan consecutively, and they all won the first prize at a young age. Brother ask yourself, are you better than your father and second uncle?"
Chen Yingchao was dumbfounded, of course he couldn't compare.
"I can't compare to my father and second uncle, doesn't it mean I can't compare to others?"
Chen Jingxian said, "Brother, if you have any thoughts, you might as well tell Dad directly. Dad is not an unreasonable person. If you speak well, Dad will not stop you."
"Second Uncle has already convinced Daddy." Chen Yingchao said.
Chen Jingxian said, "But it's different, Second Uncle wants to pour cold water on you to calm you down."
Chen Yingchao: "..."
Chen Yun didn't think he could break his father's record.
Chen Yingchao sighed, "Let me think about it again."
"Then my younger sister will go back first. Brother, let's think about it slowly." Chen Jingxian said everything she could say, without any more nonsense, she stood up and said goodbye.
Coming out of Chen Yingchao's courtyard, Chen Jingxian didn't go far when she met Ximo.
"Girl, I invite you to come over."
Chen Jingxian followed Xi Mo away.
When she arrived at her father's study, she saw her father and second uncle there.
After seeing the ceremony, her father asked her to sit down.
"Have you talked to your brother?"
Chen Jingxian nodded, "Yes."
"How did he say?"
Chen Jingxian sighed, "Brother is a little confused."
Chen Yunxian asked carefully again, then said, "If he doesn't give up, let him go."
Chen Jingxian did not speak.
"Little girl, your brother is not that fragile." Chen Yun said with a smile.
Chen Jingxian looked at Chen Yunjue, "Second Uncle..."
"I watched your brother grow up. He has lost his temper in the past two years. He needs to be beaten and beaten, but he won't get frustrated after a setback."
Chen Jingxian settled down, "Thank you, Second Uncle."
"You don't need to thank me." Chen Yun smiled, "Your brother has been doted on since he was a child, because your father is in a high position, and there are quite a few people around him who praise him. It is not easy to maintain such a disposition over the years. "
Not everyone, like Chen Yunju, has lived two lifetimes.
After Chen Yingchao left from Chen Yunjue, Chen Yunjuan followed him. He never expected that Chen Yingchao would meet Chen Jingxian.
The two brothers and sisters went back to whisper, Chen Yun thought about it and went to Chen Yunxian's place.
Chen Yunxian learned that Chen Jingxian was called by Chen Yingchao, so she asked Ximo to wait.
His daughter's temperament is like him, and also like his wife.
He has a gentle personality, but his cleverness follows him.
Chen Yunxian didn't want her to get into trouble because she was worried about Chen Yingchao.
Calling her over is also a solution to her.
The treatment of daughters and sons is of course different.
After seeing off Chen Jingxian, Chen Yunxian sighed, "Chao'er never let me worry about it since I was a child."
"Young mind." Chen Yun borrowed a sip of tea and said.
Chen Yunxian said, "Among brothers and nephews, you are the most temperamental."
It's best not to say that Chen Yun is mild-tempered, but that he likes it.
Cousin Chen Yunheng is a nerd, Chen Yunxian will not treat him badly, but if you say how close he is, that's not the case.
The cousin of the third uncle's family is lively, but his age is too different from Chen Yunxian's, so we can't talk to each other.
Chen Yunjue knew from birth that he discovered it, and he didn't tell anyone about it, and Chen Yunjue's temperament was also very suitable for Chen Yunxian's appetite.
For so many years, Chen Yunxian has protected Chen Yunjue and doted on him very much, not only because he is his younger brother.
Also because their thinking patterns are very similar.
No matter what was said, Chen Yunjue could understand and support it.
"Chao'er is young and can't stand provocation, so just teach her well, but it's not good if you really want to screw it up." Chen Yun excused.
Fifteen or sixteen years old is the time of rebellion.
Chen Yunxian sighed, "I hope your method is useful."
"Even if he refuses to listen and insists on ending, I don't think it's a bad thing." Chen Yun excused.
Chen Yunxian paused, "Yes."
"It's getting late, and I have to go back to play with my son, so I'll go back first."
"Go."
Chen Yun excused himself to leave and went back to Mingxin Courtyard, playing with building blocks with his son.
Go to bed when you are tired.
After two days, the mansion was calm.
Just after Daiyu's birthday, within two days, when Chen Yun returned home, he was stopped by Xi Mo.
"Second Master, I invite you to come over."
Chen Yuncheng didn't intend to go to Chen Yunxian today, but was stopped by Xi Mo, so he had no choice but to go.
"Brother, are you looking for me?"
When the voice fell, Chen Yun entered the door, and only after entering the door did he find that Chen Yunxian was not the only one in the room.
And - Chen Yingchao.
"Second Uncle." Chen Yingchao bowed his hands.
Chen Yun raised his eyebrows, "This is?"
"You can ask him." Chen Yunxian smiled.
"I want to study in the south." Without waiting for Chen Yun to ask, Chen Yingchao cut straight to the point.
Chen Yun was slightly surprised, "Aren't you going to participate in the competition?"
"Nephew is not a person who doesn't know good and bad. Second uncle's words are all for that. If I still persist in my obsession, won't I have failed my second uncle's cultivation over the years?" Chen Yingchao laughed.
In fact, when Chen Yingchao was young, he and Chen Yun borrowed more time together.
Because Chen Yunxian was going to the Yamen, apart from staying with his mother, Chen Yingchao was taken by Chen Yun to play with him.
But Chen Yun took him not just for fun, but also taught him to read, trying to arouse his interest in reading.
Because, as Chen Yunxian's eldest son, Chen Yingchao will become the head of the Chen family in the future, and he will be responsible for the future of the Chen family.
These burdens are not something ordinary people can afford.
Fortunately, Chen Yingchao is not an ordinary child, he is wise.
Both Chen Yunju and Chen Yunxian have high hopes for him.
"Why did you suddenly think of going on a study tour?" Chen Yun sat down next to his elder brother and asked with a smile.
Chen Yingchao also laughed, "Father and second uncle both traveled to study in the past, and Tang Shu and the others also went south to study. Isn't this the rule of our family?"
"I can't talk about the rules, it's just that study tours are good for increasing knowledge." Chen Yun borrowed.
Chen Yingchao said, "Didn't Second Uncle think that I'm not knowledgeable enough?"
"I don't think you don't have enough knowledge, I just think you need to settle down." Chen Yun borrowed.
Chen Yingchao said, "No matter what, I understand Second Uncle's intentions. I came to find my father just to study in the south."
"Where do you want to go?" Chen Yun asked.
If it was just a study tour, Chen Yunxian would not have stopped him.
Chen Yunxian took over the conversation, "He's going to Huguang."
Chen Yun was stunned, "Huguang?"
That's where Chen Yun borrowed to experiment with new types of rice.
"You..." Chen Yun still hesitated.
Chen Yingchao said, "Second Uncle is right."
Chen Yun raised his eyebrows, "Do you want to participate in rice promotion?"
"No, I'm just going to have a look." Chen Yingchao said.
Chen Yun was thoughtful, and after a while, he smiled and said, "Then you go, I will write you a letter to Uncle Han, and he will take you."
Uncle Han is Han Xiuwen.
"Thank you second uncle."
Since he wanted to go south to study, it was better sooner rather than later. Within two days, an auspicious day was selected, and Chen Yingchao left the capital by boat with his father and the people given by his second uncle.
"The one who studied abroad was guided by you, or he brought it up by himself?" After seeing off his nephew, Chen Yun borrowed it to ask Chen Yunxian.
Chen Yunxian raised his eyebrows, "He mentioned it himself."
"It really impressed me." Chen Yun said with a smile.
Chen Yunxian said, "At least it didn't disappoint me."
Chen Yingchao is his first son, and his high hopes for Chen Yingchao can be seen from this name.
Although his son was flattered that he didn't know the north, south, east, and west, it made him a little angry, but as long as he could wake up, it wouldn't be a bad thing.
After Chen Yingchao left Beijing, he would stay for a while wherever he went.
Although he wanted to go to Huguang to experience the cultivation of new-style rice, but after all, he studied in the south, not specifically to see the rice cultivated by his second uncle.
He would write down what he saw and heard on the way, and then send it back to the capital.
After Chen Yunxian had seen it, he would call Chen Yun over and let him watch it.
At first, Chen Yunjue was a little confused, but after reading Chen Yingchao's notes, he could see his growth, but he seriously praised him a few times.
Later Chen Yun discovered that his elder brother just wanted to hear him praise Chen Yingchao.
Chen Yunjue: "..."
What's wrong?
Do you have a son?
When Chen Yun went back, he asked Daiyu for comfort.
"What's the matter?" Daiyu was very surprised.
Chen Yun borrowed Chen Yunxian's bad taste, "I don't know what's wrong, I always like to let me praise Chao'er."
"Brother thinks highly of you." Daiyu said with a smile.
Chen Yunjue was not comforted.
"What about Shuo'er and the others?"
"Go to the west courtyard."
"Going to the west courtyard again?"
"The two little guys are smart. They know that their grandfather treats them well, and they also want to accompany their grandparents."
"It's filial piety..." Chen Yun smiled, "Have they behaved lately? Did they bother you?"
"Grandfather taught them very well." Daiyu laughed.
Chen Yun nodded, "That's good."
"About going to school..." Daiyu looked at Chen Yunjue.
Chen Yun excused, "I've already passed the school exams, their foundation is very solid, and their grandfather teaches them every day, so they won't be bad."
"Then you won't go to school this year?" Daiyu asked.
Chen Yun excused, "I'm only five years old, don't worry, it doesn't matter if it's a year later."
"That's not okay, let them go to school next year." Daiyu said.
Chen Yun borrowed, "What's wrong?"
"The children are all grown up and need friends," Daiyu said.
What does it look like to stay at home?
Chen Yun understood what Daiyu meant, "They all go to school, don't you feel lonely?"
He has to go to the yamen every day, and the children often go to the west courtyard to study with their grandfather. Although Daiyu can go to see Mrs. Shen, she can't come to the door every day.
Daiyu said, "That's not the case."
"If you feel bored at home, just tell me, don't hold it in your heart." Chen Yun excused.
"I saved it."
At night, Shuo'er and Sheng'er stayed in the west courtyard and did not come back, while Chen Yunjue and Daiyu slept peacefully.
Chen Yun was about to fall asleep, but he felt someone touching his ear.
He opened his eyes, tilted his head and kissed her, "What's the matter? You haven't slept so late."
"Sister Yingying has been married to Xie's family for seven or eight years, and there is no pregnancy letter yet. I went to Xie's house to visit Sister Yingying two days ago. I saw... Sister Yingying's complexion is not very good." Daiyu said softly.
Chen Yun frowned slightly, "Didn't you invite the imperial physician?"
"Of course I did, but the imperial doctor said there is no problem." Daiyu said.
Chen Yingying is also a good friend of Daiyu's boudoir, and now she is her eldest sister-in-law, so the relationship is naturally closer.
Zhu Yingjing and Liang Xinyi were not in the capital, so Daiyu didn't have many friends who could walk around.
"Where is Xie Zijing, have you asked the imperial physician to see him?" Chen Yun asked.
Daiyu blushed, "I didn't ask too much about that."
"Hmm..." Chen Yun pondered for a moment, "I'll go find him tomorrow."
"You should pay attention."
Now that Chen Yingying has married into Xie's family, she has not been pregnant for so many years. This woman will be looked down upon in her husband's family because she has no children.
Chen Yun raised his eyebrows, "What am I paying attention to?"
"Sister Yingying is already a member of the Xie family, so don't say anything harsh, as it will be difficult for Sister Yingying to be a good person." Daiyu said.
Chen Yun smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I know it well."
He covered Daiyu's eyes, "Okay, you're tired today, go to sleep."
Daiyu heard this and gave him a thump, "Speak well."
"Don't I care about you?"
Chen Yun was woken up by her, and made another noise at night, and fell asleep even later.
The next day, Chen Yun was too lazy to get up and practice martial arts with the warmth and nephrite in his arms.
After lying on the bed for a while, Chen Yun borrowed to get up and cook to keep people warm, then ate a little, changed clothes and went to the yamen.
Chen Yun was the chief officer of the first department. After finishing the important matters at hand, he assigned other matters to the adjutants to do, and then made time to go to Yunyu Tower.
In the morning, he had already asked Qing Mo to inform Xie Zijing to meet him in Yunyu Tower.
Xie Zijing also came in time.
"clear."
Mingming is a word borrowed by Chen Yun.
Chen Yun smiled slightly, "Please sit down."
"My wife went to Xie's house to visit my sister the other day..." Chen Yun took a sip of tea, "Xie Zijing, you should know what I want you for."
Xie Zijing lowered his eyes, "I know."
"Do you remember what you promised at the beginning? Do you count?" Chen Yun asked with a cold face.
Xie Zijing raised his eyes, "Of course it counts."
"My sister didn't have a pregnancy letter for seven or eight years, so you don't have any ideas?" Chen Yun asked with a light smile, but his eyes were very cold.
No matter how Xie Zijing answered this question, Chen Yunjuan would not be satisfied.
Because if Xie Zijing really fulfilled his original promise, a girl as bright as Chen Yingying would not be what she is now.
Xie Zijing was a little embarrassed when asked, "I..."
"Tell me honestly, what's going on?" Chen Yun asked with a cold face.
Xie Zijing's expression turned ugly, "I...I don't know either."
"Then shall I invite an imperial physician to show you?" Chen Yun said with a sneer.
Xie Zijing choked, took a deep breath, "Okay."
He could agree, but it relieved Chen Yun's anger a bit.
"Qing Mo, please come over here, Imperial Physician Qin."
Qing Mo took the order to go down.
While drinking, Chen Yun ignored Xie Zijing.
But Xie Zijing was restless, "It's clear."
"If you have anything to say, wait until the imperial physician comes." Chen Yun said calmly.
Xie Zijing choked and closed his mouth.
He knew that Chen Yun was dissatisfied with him.
After Chen Yingying got married, Chen Yunjuan married Daiyu. Not long after, she won the first prize in the examination and was admitted to the Ministry of Industry. Hou.
Such a magnificent record, even Chen Yunxian did not achieve it.
And what about Xie Zijing?
He is the same age as Chen Yunjue, and Chen Yunjue has already been a first-rank minister and a super-rank protector.
And he is just a candidate, he failed the exam last time, and this year he failed again, and the exam has not yet been released.
But he didn't have much confidence, because he was under a lot of pressure and the article was not finished, so the probability of failing the ranking was very high.
It's not that Chen Yunju didn't help Xie Zijing, he also copied a copy of his brother's notes for Xie Zijing.
But Xie Zijing...failed...
Chen Yunjue didn't think that his brother's notes were omnipotent, and he could pass the exam by reading them.
But Xie Zijing's knowledge is not bad, why does he always fail the exam?
There was silence in the private room.
Not long after, Imperial Physician Qin came.
"Hello, Lord Hou." Imperial Physician Qin greeted with a smile.
Chen Yunjue also smiled and cupped his hands, "Doctor Qin doesn't need to be polite, what's your name, Lord Hou, just call me Yunjue..." After a pause, "I invited Imperial Physician Qin here today to ask the imperial physician to give my brother-in-law a pulse. Let's see if he's in good health."
Physician Qin raised his eyebrows, "Are you in good health?"
"Of course you can't hide your illness from a doctor..." Chen Yun took a look at Xie Zijing, "What do you say?"
Xie Zijing bit the bullet and said, "Qin Imperial Physician, my wife has been married to me for many years, and there has been no pregnancy letter, and the family is also very anxious. I also asked the imperial physician to take a pulse. My wife is healthy, so..."
"Oh, the old man understands." Imperial Physician Qin also knew that this kind of thing was difficult to talk about, so Xie Zijing was willing to speak up, which was already very good.
Imperial Physician Qin asked Xie Zijing to stretch out his hand, Xie Zijing did not hesitate, and stretched out his hand for Imperial Physician Qin to diagnose the pulse.
This era has always been harsh on women. If a woman does not conceive for a long time after marriage, it is regarded as a woman with physical problems and unable to bear children.
When Chen Yunzhuan left Beijing two years ago, the situation was not too bad, because the old lady of the Xie family died of illness.
Because of what happened back then, it was luck that the old lady took so long to pass away.
Because of filial piety, Chen Yingying's life is not difficult.
But after Chen Yunjue left Beijing, the filial piety period passed not long after, and there was still no pregnancy letter, which would inevitably make people suspicious.
But the descendants of the Chen family are prosperous, there is no Ji concubine, and the children are born one after another. Obviously, there is nothing wrong with their bodies.
Chen Yingying is not one to show weakness, but whenever someone speaks sourly, she will directly ask the imperial physician to diagnose the pulse.
However, no matter what the imperial physician said, these people outside had something to say.
Because Chen Yunxian is an official of the Ministry of Officials.
Even if the imperial physician said that Chen Yingying's health was fine, these people with pink eyes would say behind their backs that the imperial physician was afraid of Chen Yunxian's power and did not dare to tell the truth.
Either way, they are right.
The Xie family did not intend to let Xie Zijing take a concubine, and they were kind to Chen Yingying.
But the more this happened, the more depressed Chen Yingying became.
She wanted the imperial doctor to show Xie Zijing a look, but her mother-in-law refused, saying that his son must be fine.
Whether this is a problem or not, it is not said.
But the mother-in-law was unwilling, and Chen Yingying couldn't forcefully ask Xie Zijing to invite the imperial physician.
This matter was delayed.
Until now, when Chen Yun came back, he passed Xie's house and called Xie Zijing directly.
With the level of ancient medical skills, it is really not easy to check whether a man is fertile or not.
As long as there is no problem in that aspect, generally speaking, it will be assumed that this person is fine.
But Chen Yun still knew that this was not the case.
However, it is impossible for him to take Xie Zijing across the modern era for a comprehensive inspection.
Doctor Qin finished his pulse diagnosis, "Can I ask Mr. Xie to go to the cubicle for a check?"
"As you please." Chen Yun took a look at Xie Zijing and said.
Xie Zijing sighed, got up and followed the imperial physician to the cubicle.
Chen Yun could probably guess what the imperial physician was going to check, and he sighed silently.
If Xie Zijing had a problem with that, how could his sister have suffered such a dull loss?It's been a long time coming.
So... There is a high probability that Xie Zijing has no problem.
After waiting for a while, Imperial Physician Qin and the disheveled Xie Zijing came back.
"How about it, imperial doctor?" Chen Yun ignored Xie Zijing.
Let his sister suffer such a great grievance, but if he suffers a little grievance from him, it should be regarded as collecting interest.
Physician Qin stroked his beard and frowned, "There is no problem with this...."
"What's the problem with Imperial Physician Qin?" Chen Yun asked after seeing Imperial Physician Qin frown, took a breath.
Doctor Qin sighed, and said, "I also took your sister's pulse. Both of them have no physical problems. I'm not sure why there is no pregnancy letter..." After a pause, "Some couples are over half a hundred years old. It is also possible to give birth to a child."
Chen Yun choked, "..."
Over fifty?His sister is going to be buried, how much humiliation will he have to suffer?
"Mr. Qin, you and I have known each other for many years. If you have any thoughts, you may as well speak up." Chen Yun said with an ugly expression.
Imperial Physician Qin sighed again, and said in embarrassment, "This..."
"Doctor, my sister is already 26." In a few years, she will be thirty.
If she is over 30 years old, even if she is pregnant, she will be an advanced maternal age, so how can Chen Yunjue rest assured?
Chen Yingying's current age is the best age for pregnancy.
It can't be delayed any longer.
If Xie Zijing really had any problems, Chen Yun would say anything to get his sister out of the sea of suffering.
Xie Zijing opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.
He could probably guess what Chen Yunjue was thinking.
But if it was really his problem, what face did he have to make Chen Yun borrow the idea of taking Chen Yingying away?
Doctor Qin took a deep breath and said, "Master Hou, you still remember that a few years ago, you gave me some medical books, and it was recorded in it that men's fertility... is weak. It's not that there is no way to solve it, why don't I prescribe a prescription first?"
