The Heart of the Red Chamber

"Master, I said before that I want to find a good husband for Brother Ren, but you found it?" Another few months have passed, and it is already July, when the weather turns cold, Mrs. Sun thought of listening to him during the day. My son said that he has already read "The Analects of Confucius" and is currently reading "University". He has already read most of the Four Books and Five Classics by himself.It's not that he doesn't believe in his son's self-study level, but, after all, this wild way is different from orthodox ones. The scientific examination is stereotyped essays, and it is always impossible to work behind closed doors. I am afraid that my son will take a detour without a teacher, and Mrs. Sun is already a little anxious.

Wang Ziteng took the face towel handed over by the maid and wiped his hands, and then said: "Even if Madam doesn't mention it, I will tell you about my husband! I have already chosen my husband, Chen Jingrong, Chen Xueshi, the second master of the Chen family! "

"The Chen family?" Mrs. Sun was taken aback.

Wang Ziteng smiled and said: "It's not our in-laws, but Chen Jingyi, the right servant of the Ministry of Officials! Chen Xueshi was the Tanhua Lang back then, and now he is a bachelor in the Imperial Academy, and his knowledge is first-class! Yes, I also told Chen Xueshi, but Chen Xueshi also wants to test Ren'er's knowledge!"

Although Mrs. Sun didn't know much about the court affairs, she also knew that the Chen family was Concubine Shu's natal family and King Cheng's natal family. She hesitated for a moment: "The Chen family is a foreign relative, is it possible?"

Wang Ziteng waved his hand: "Madam, don't worry, being a husband makes sense!"

"I think the master won't harm his own child, so the concubine will not worry about it in vain!" Seeing Wang Ziteng's expression, Mrs. Sun knew that Wang Ziteng had made up her mind, so she didn't say any more.

Wang Ziteng had thought carefully about choosing this teacher for Wang Ren. Since he had made up his mind to join Cheng Wang, it was inevitable to establish a relationship with the Chen family.And the Chen family has always been cautious. Over the years, they have not made any great achievements, but they are also dedicated to their duties. In addition, they are not group or party, and they are loyal to the emperor, which is still a bit important in Jinshang's heart.

And Chen Jingrong himself can be regarded as talented, especially, although he has never held a real job, his shadow can be seen in some of the decisions of the Chen family, which shows how clever he is.And Wang Ziteng's expectation for his son is not to be a leisurely official in the future imperial examinations. He wants his son to be a powerful minister in order to preserve the glory of the Wang family since the founding of the country and go further.

The Chen family seems to be a pure minister, but in fact, they also want to make plans for becoming king. The Chen family did not show it in the original dynasty. In fact, in the previous dynasty, they were a well-known gentry in Shandong. It's too slow, and it won't be reduced to second-rate.But it is rare for the Chen family to have a concubine, and even a prince with real power who is crowned king, so it is natural to plan carefully.

And for so many years in the Chen family, although there are quite a few people who have become officials, they still go around in circles among the civil servants. It is more than enough for you to let these scholars play tricks and tricks in the court. At the extreme of martial arts, military power is still the guarantee for the emperor to secure the throne.

Not to mention how many confidantes the prince has in the generals who have been in business for many years, even Wang Xin and Ping Wang have a tacit understanding with some generals. As for King Ning, he even hooked up with several kings of different surnames who have always held military power.As for becoming a king, he started a bit late, and in order to show a loyal and filial appearance in front of the emperor, he naturally couldn't have any friendship with generals, but at this time, Wang Ziteng extended an olive branch in time. Teng's family members and means, he can stay in his current position for at least ten years, and by then, it's almost time for the dust to settle.

Therefore, even if it was to get Wang Ziteng completely tied to Cheng Wang's boat, the Chen family would not refuse to accept Wang Ren as a disciple.

Of course, Wang Ziteng would not casually tell others about these things, even his first wife. Of course, even if he told Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Sun would probably find it hard to understand. After all, that is the vision of women in the inner house.

Mrs. Sun heard Wang Ziteng talk about Chen Jingrong's knowledge and insights, but her heart was moved, and she asked: "Master, Brother Qian from Sister Yun's family is just studying in a family school, can you?"

But Wang Ziteng shook his head and said: "Madam, it's not that I don't miss my grandson, it's because my in-laws don't like it!" Speaking of which, he felt a little helpless. After mentioning a few words, they did not dare to get involved in the matter of seizing the heir.

However, if you don't have enough strength, you won't be able to remain neutral. What's more, where is Chen Duanhe's household department? Which prince doesn't want to get involved? Like him, he may be pushed out in the future Being a scapegoat might as well put one's strength into it, not to mention that the odds of winning the king are really not low.

However, Wang Ziteng naturally couldn't tell Mrs. Sun about these things, so as not to worry his wife, but he sighed in his heart. Now it seems that although the Chen family has a simple population and treats their daughter well, after all, their foundation is too weak, their knowledge is shallow, and the key is still pedantic.But that's fine, with his abilities, wouldn't he be able to keep his daughter and granddaughter?As long as he was here, the Chen family would not dare to treat their daughter and grandchildren harshly.

Mrs. Sun saw that Wang Ziteng didn't want to say more, so she didn't ask any more questions. Seeing that his wife's affection was a bit bleak, Wang Ziteng said with a smile: "Brother Ren has been smart since he was a child, and the matter of apprenticeship is very sure, so you are ready to repair it. When the time comes, let Ren'er take it there!"

Mrs. Sun nodded in agreement, thinking of her son, she smiled again. No matter what, even though she really loved her daughter, in the final analysis, her son was her reliance for the rest of her life.

While resting and taking a bath, Wang Ziteng prepared generous gifts, and took Wang Ren to the Chen Mansion in a carriage.

Just after handing over the post to the concierge, the concierge looked at it and hurriedly said: "It turns out that it is Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang. The master and the second master have been waiting for a long time, please come in quickly!"

Saying that, the concierge hurriedly led Wang Ziteng and his son to the mansion.

Chen Jingyi and Chen Jingrong were also informed by the concierge and greeted them at the gate of the main courtyard.

Chen Jingyi and Chen Jingrong are Concubine Shu's elder brothers, they are not young anymore, Chen Jingyi has been in a high position for a long time, even though she has gray hair, she is still hale and hearty, with a dignified and calm demeanor, while Chen Jingrong looks a little younger, but is dressed in a He has the demeanor of a famous celebrity, elegant and unrestrained, and looks almost ten years younger than his compatriot brother.

Wang Ziteng said with a smile: "The two senior brothers came out to meet them in person, which really frustrates me, Mr. Wang! Ren'er, pay your respects to the two senior uncles!"

Hearing this title, one can tell that Wang Ziteng has been hooking up with the Chen family for a long time, and he was able to win the friendship of family friends. God knows, when the Chen family was in its heyday, the ancestors of the Wang family were still facing the loess and back to the sky!Wang Ren slandered in his heart, but there was a smile on his face, and he hurriedly saluted: "Wang Ren pays respects to the two elders, and the two elders are well!"

"Please hurry up! Brother Ziteng, is this your son?" Chen Jingyi glanced at Wang Ren. Wang Ren was wearing a sky blue coat after rain, a pine scarf, and a royal blue embroidered scarf hanging around his waist. Wearing a purse with curly grass patterns, and wearing small powder-soled court boots, he saluted solemnly, like a little adult, and more importantly, facing their brothers, he was not at all uncomfortable, on the contrary, he was calm and calm. A six-year-old child, the Wang family has a successor, and a smile appeared on his face, "Sure enough, he is a good boy with a bright future. Brother Ziteng is so lucky!"

"I'm sorry, Quanzi is too young to be praised by my elder brother!" Wang Ziteng said with a smile.

"Brother, even though it's almost autumn, the sun is still very strong, so it's hard to stay in the yard and talk!" Chen Jingrong laughed.

"I was negligent, brother Ziteng, please come in quickly!"
