The Bookish Scholar of the Red Mansion

It was rainy and windy last night, and although the ground in front of the bed was a little messy, it did not affect the young couple's rest. It was about the time when the sky was getting brighter that Zicuckoo led the snow geese over. The two of them held washing utensils and Daiyu's clothes in their hands respectively.

In addition to these two maids, the Lin family's dowry also includes two capable and experienced nannies and four or five young servants. The Chen family doesn't have much knowledge on this matter, and having people like these from the Lin family here can make things easier for the family.

As soon as Zijuan and Xueyan arrived outside Chen Heng's house, Qingwen had already arrived first. When the three of them met in the corridor, they all chuckled in a tacit understanding. Not only because of the two people sleeping soundly in the room, but also because of each other's fate.

They all came from Jia's family and were trained by Jia's mother. They have a close relationship with Yuanyang. I just did the front and back feet, not much contact with each other. But now the two of them, one serving Mrs. Chen and the other following Mr. Chen, will inevitably interact with each other in the future.

Sister Qingwen. Zijuan is as smart and polite as her young lady. As soon as she opened her mouth, she decided that the relationship between the two would be based on the Chen family. Qingwen entered the Chen family before her, so it was not a bad idea to call her sister.

Qingwen is also playful. When others treat her with courtesy, she reciprocates the favor and says in return: Sister Zijuan, sister Xueyan.

The three people met each other, and then all became silent, so as not to disturb Chen Heng and Daiyu's rest. All three of them had a slightly funny look in their eyes.

Chen Heng didn't wake up from bed until the sky was brighter than before. Today is Daiyu's first day as a married woman, and it is ritual to serve tea to her elders. Even though my grandparents said last night, let the young couple just rest peacefully. But Chen Heng knew that if they just wanted to sleep peacefully, Daiyu would blame herself afterwards.

With things on his mind, he slept a little uneasily. When he opened his eyes, he looked at the beauty in his arms. Daiyu's figure has always been light, and Jia Min is willing to take care of her, but her daughter doesn't gain weight on her own.

Putting one hand around his wife's waist, feeling the peace and contentment of having a beautiful lady in his arms, Chen Heng took a closer look at Daiyu's sleeping face. The torment last night made the beauty frown slightly in her dream. The scattered hair on the temples was entangled with some of his own hair. Seeing Yu'er's eyelashes trembling slightly, Chen Heng couldn't help but tilt his head and kissed her on the forehead.

Yu'er, it's time to get up.

Daiyu was half asleep and half awake, as if she hadn't reacted yet when someone suddenly appeared on her pillow. Opening his eyes drowsily, he saw Chen Heng's half-smiling smile, and remembered the absurdities last night, and his face turned visibly red.

Seeing that this girl seemed to be retracting under the quilt and pretending to be asleep, Chen Heng quickly stretched out his hand and held the beauty in his arms. He smiled and said, I want to serve tea to my grandparents today. How about we continue sleeping when we get back?

Daiyu suddenly realized it and stood up in panic, saying, What time is it?

Zijuan's laughter came from outside the house, and Zijuan said: Madam, it's the first moment of Mao hour.

Acridine. Daiyu exclaimed and struggled to get up from the bed. She almost overslept.

Chen Heng laughed, pulled her back to the bed, kissed her again, and then said: Lie down on the bed well first, and when I get dressed and go out, you can just take a shower.

When the young couple finished their work and walked out of the yard, it was daylight. The warm breeze in the morning blew the branches and leaves in the courtyard, and the golden-red halo illuminated the spots in the forest on the path in front of the pair of wall figures.

Chen Heng's clothes today were chosen by Daiyu, and tied around his waist was a jade pendant given by Jia Min. Daiyu's clothes are all her favorite clothes she brought from home. Only the hair accessories on the head are all sent by Zhou and Gu. Although these things are ordinary, they cannot stop Yu'er's stunning beauty.

The couple walked along the path to the main hall together, and saw that the elders in the family had received the news and were waiting here early. We served morning tea one by one and got to know the people of the old Chen family again.

The greetings between relatives are naturally warm and affectionate. Old Zhou looked at Daiyu and still couldn't believe that such a beautiful girl had married her eldest grandson. She whispered to Mrs. Gu, Heng'er's child is blessed. Such a beautiful mother will definitely give birth to a golden boy and a beautiful girl.

When Mrs. Gu heard this, she felt indescribably happy. She pulled Daiyu, looked at her again and again, and then said, Mom, I don't know much about literacy. You just have to make the decision if anything happens at home.

Daiyu blushed and said softly that she didn't dare, saying that she was a bride and needed the guidance of her elders. After hearing these words, Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Gu also smiled happily. The two of them were also afraid, after all, this daughter-in-law was from a famous family.

Sister-in-law.

Sister-in-law.

Brothers and sisters.

Several elder sisters and younger brothers had met Daiyu and praised her highly. After drinking tea, it is inevitable to have breakfast together. This word can only be used after Daiyu gets married. Humanely, it was Daiyu who wanted to stand beside her elders and help them prepare food.

Old Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Gu felt uncomfortable all over. Their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had not had this problem for decades. After several words of advice, Daiyu did not dare to listen. The elders had no choice but to wait for Chen Heng to take a look.

The No. 1 scholar laughed so much that he stood up and pulled his wife to sit next to him. He then picked up a few chopsticks of his favorite dishes and put them in Yu'er's bowl.

Being arranged by her husband in this way, Daiyu had no choice but to obey the order, and left the chores of cloth to Zicuckoo.

how to say? After eating this meal, Chen Gaishan and Lao Zhou really wanted to go back to Yangzhou. Although the two families had a good relationship with Qin and Jin, they were indeed very different in their living habits.

As a new daughter-in-law, Daiyu wanted to take good care of the elders in her family, so she naturally had good intentions. But Chen Heng knew that his family had never enjoyed anything in their life, and farmers always preferred to use their own hands.

Fortunately, a group of juniors interrupted the chat, and the atmosphere at the table was definitely not bad. Just waiting for everyone to finish eating and go back to their houses. Chen Heng took Daiyu and hid in his room before telling her his thoughts with a smile.

Daiyu realized that she had done the wrong thing with good intentions, and hurriedly asked: What should I do?

Chen Hengduo was the one who had an idea and said directly: It's easy to handle. Let the sisters help us find out and we will find out. Don't be afraid. The eldest sister has always been the one with the most ideas and decisiveness. I guarantee that the eldest sister can handle this matter.

Things turned out as Chen Heng expected. The eldest sister Chen Qingcai came forward to find out what the old Zhou and Gu were thinking. The latter hoped to sit down and have a meal with his grandson-in-law like ordinary people.

After a while, the second sister Chen Xian came to send a message again, saying that each room would eat in the house at noon. After saying that, she looked at her siblings again and said with a smile: Grandma said that you don't look good, and it seems that you haven't slept enough. Grandma asked you to recuperate your energy first, they don't need anyone to take care of them. After comforting the siblings, the two The elder sister looked at Chen Heng again, Brother, please don't tease your younger sister. Let her have a good rest.

Chen Heng laughed. Although he was a newbie on the battlefield, he was not a layman who knew the taste. He hurriedly said: Sister, don't worry, I saved it.

After the second sister warned me like this, I left with peace of mind. The young couple were left sitting across from each other on the soft couch, looking at each other before laughing.

After a while, Daiyu made a mistake and asked, Why is your husband laughing?

Only after last night, Daiyu was no longer shy when she called her husband. A different kind of intimacy lingered in their hearts. Chen Heng didn't answer. He just stood up and took a book from the bookshelf. He crossed his legs on the couch and said, Go and have a rest. Don't ruin your good reputation.

Daiyu laughed, unable to bear this man's teasing. She stood up slowly with a red face and made a girlish face, I don't believe this.

Chen Heng shook his head, asked Qingwen and Zicuckoo in the room to close the doors and windows slightly, and then retreated first. Then he comforted Daiyu: Sleep peacefully, I will read to you here.

Daiyu, who was already lying on the bed, blinked her bright eyes and looked at Chen Heng happily, Mr. sir, read it quickly and I will listen.

Chen Heng pursed his lips and smiled, then turned the page and read softly while feeling the passage of time. After a long time, he saw that there was no movement in the room, so he took a careful look at Daiyu. But he found that the other party was still lying on the bedside with his face pillowed on his arms, looking at him with joy.

You've asked me to read for so long, why don't you sleep? Chen Heng deliberately made a serious face and smiled again, But this book is not good?

Who could blame the book for not reading well? Daiyu couldn't help but smile and said, I can't sleep without someone around me.

Chen Heng had a serious look on his face when he heard this, Such a big thing... He immediately put down his book, undressed and said, My lady should have told you earlier.

The two of them laughed and hugged each other on the bed, entangled each other's hair, and fell asleep hugging each other.

In the next two days, Daiyu did not continue to help the elders in the family with the dishes. She only took some time to sit in the old Zhou family's house and chat with her grandma. Chen Heng taught her this method: Yu'er, you don't have to say anything deliberately, just sit in front of grandma for a while, and she will already like it.

Dayong gave Chen Heng five days of marriage leave, and the last day happened to be the day Daiyu returned home on the third day.

The couple informed their family early in the morning, and Mrs. Zhou specially asked Daiyu to bring some gifts back to express her gratitude to the Lin family for marrying their beloved daughter.

The driver was Xinda, and there were two cars in front and behind him. Zicuckoo and Snow Goose were also traveling with him. The group of people arrived at the door of Lin Mansion. The housekeepers had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Chen Mansion's carriage stopped, they all came forward and said, Uncle, Miss, the master and his wife are waiting for you in the hall.

There was also a servant from the porter who ran to the main hall of the house earlier to tell Lin Ruhai and Jia Min the good news. Hearing that her son-in-law and daughter had finally returned, Jia Min's thoughts arose again. Daiyu had only been married for three days, and she was worried every day that the child would not be able to eat well and live well.

Now that she is finally waiting for the results, Jia Min can't help but feel a little embarrassed. After waiting for a while, Chen Heng walked in holding Daiyu with a smiling face. Jia Min's mind suddenly felt at ease. She knew that her daughter must be marrying the right person.

A person's spirit cannot lie to others. If she couldn't eat well or sleep well, Daiyu would definitely not look so energetic.

As soon as the mother-in-law was relieved, she looked at her son-in-law with admiration that she couldn't hide. Jia Min saw that Chen Heng's clothes were made by Daiyu herself. I even feel that these two children are really in love with each other and they are a perfect match.

Father-in-law and mother-in-law. As soon as Chen Heng entered the house, he pulled Daiyu to greet the elders. Lin Ruhai couldn't help but nodded and chuckled. Although his observations were not as detailed as Jia Min's. But one look at the smile on the corner of Daiyu's mouth, and she knew that her precious daughter was doing well.

Get up quickly. Lin Ruhai stretched out his hand to signal the two children to get up quickly. Jia Min also stepped forward to hold her daughter, looked at her again and again, and then said to her son-in-law, You two are chatting for now. What do you want to eat for lunch? Mom will ask the chef to cook it for you.

At this point, Daiyu felt more confident. Just tell me a few dish names, including my own preferences and my husband’s favorites. After giving these instructions, she followed Jia Min to the back house. Lin Ruhai didn't plan to meet her son-in-law in the main hall, so she directly took Chen Heng to the study.

These two men don't get along for a short period of one or two years. Over a long period of time, there has been a relationship between teacher and student, and now the relationship between father-in-law and son-in-law is entangled. The two of them now get along with each other in a more casual way. Lin Ruhai even showed much less dislike on the chessboard.

It's time to go to court tomorrow.

Yes, father-in-law. After Chen Heng answered, Lin Ruhai smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed. This term, father-in-law, sounds better than teacher.

Brother Wei also has a happy event in August. The groom happens to be the same year as you. We will go together then.

I know, father-in-law. Chen Heng secretly said something strange. In the past, teachers usually asked him questions, either to test their knowledge or to provide some official insights. Why are we just chatting like this today?

He was lost in thought when Lin Ruhai suddenly said: Silly boy, you made the wrong move.

Oh oh oh. Chen Heng came back to his senses and patted his thigh and said, What should I do?

Unexpectedly, Lin Ruhai took the initiative to pick up the chess pieces for him and smiled nonchalantly: Play again, play again.

Today, there was actually the treatment of regretting chess. Chen Heng didn't know whether he had entered the wrong house or recognized the wrong person.

…………

…………

Jia Min, who lives in the back house, also keeps talking to Daiyu. The two of them chattered about the Chen family. After hearing about the Zhou family and Gu family's behavior, they finally felt relieved and said, I can finally feel at ease about what I fear most.

Mom, what are you worried about? Daiyu was a little curious.

You kid, you don't know that there are some mothers-in-law in this world who suddenly marry a high-ranking daughter-in-law. She wants to set rules for her daughter-in-law so that she can handle them easily in the future. Jia Min shook her head. Is there anything wrong with the handkerchief she handed in when she was a child? Because of this, few people live in dire straits.

For them to treat you like this, your father is really right. Jia Min laughed to herself. Daiyu asked again what her father had said.

Jia Mincai brought out the betrothal gift given by the Chen family that day. Your father said: If your family is getting married for the first time, you are a real person if you don't make a fool of yourself because of your family's reputation. If you can go all out to prepare, it shows that they attach great importance to this marriage. He said that if you get married, You will definitely not be wronged.”

Whether the future will be good or bad depends on your own luck. Jia Min held Daiyu's hand, Although your parents can make decisions for you, you are no longer a little girl. You should keep the truth in mind when dealing with others. The identity of the parent’s daughter-in-law.”

Daiyu was also dumbfounded and didn't know what to say. Jia Min saw that her daughter's reaction was really funny, so she curiously asked why. Unexpectedly, my daughter smiled and said nothing. Zicuckoo couldn't hold back her laughter, so she came up to the old lady and said, Madam, my uncle also told the young lady what you said two days ago.

Oh?! Jia Min suddenly became interested and was ready to get to the bottom of things.

My uncle said: Let's live a good life, take good care of our elders, and be kind to our brothers and sisters. This is an example for our younger brothers. All other principles are false. In the future, if others use excuses to pressure you, just let them Just come to me.

When Chen Heng said this, Qingwen and Zijuan were mending their clothes back home with Daiyu, so they had to listen to everything. When Jia Min heard this, she looked at Daiyu proudly and said, Look, the person Mom picked for you is pretty good.

Daiyu laughed and fell directly into Jia Min's arms. The two women didn't know what they asked after that, but what they said made Daiyu blush and shake her head. They thought it was just a private conversation, so there was no need to say more.

When it was time to have lunch, Jia Min became even closer to Chen Heng, and even Lin Jue was left aside. It doesn't matter that this kid is here. He just begs his brother-in-law to take him back. He wants to study with Qingyue.

There was no way he could deceive Lin Ruhai with these words. He was just joining in the fun. However, Lin Ruhai didn't mention him either. The two families lived so close to each other. As long as Heng'er was in the capital in the future, he would definitely have to travel around.

On the first day of August, the Jia family will celebrate the old lady's eightieth birthday. Jia Min suddenly remembered something and gave instructions to the family at the dinner table, Heng'er, you don't have to prepare anything when the time comes. The family will give it to you. Get ready.

After all, we are related, so it is not good to say not to go. Chen Heng nodded and counted the days in his mind, and found that there were only a few days left.

Then when my husband-in-law and I go home, we will ride there with my parents in the car? Daiyu asked.

That's good. Lin Ruhai was overjoyed and felt more energetic about eating.

Jia Min glanced at her husband, then smiled and asked when the elders of the Chen family would respond. She heard that it was the end of July, and asked Daiyu to bring more gifts from home.

…………

…………

On July 29th, not long after Chen Heng got married, the old Chen family had to rush back to Yangzhou. They had no choice but to arrange a wedding for their eldest son. The preparations for the six rituals over there haven't started yet.

Fortunately, this time, they brought Li Zhi's imperial edict back. With it, it can block the gossip of countless neighbors.

When his family traveled far away, Chen Heng was already on duty at the Hanlin Academy. He was really helpless, so he had to ask Xinda to do the work for him.

Chen Heng is working as a recordkeeper next to Li Zhi today, responsible for recording His Majesty's daily life. When he was only halfway through his work, he heard Li Zhi's angry voice coming from Linjing Hall. He was writing while feeling flustered by the contents of his writing.

Something happened to the Maritime Affairs Department, and many nobles including the Jia family, Wang family, Feng family, Wei family, Shi family, etc. were all involved. There are also many officials from the Sixth Department who are deeply involved.

A big case seems to be coming.

My head hurts a bit today, so I’ll update normally and calm down my body. There have been a lot of outbreaks recently...please vote
