Lang Jun is coming

Among the contemporaries of the Chen family, Chen Juncong ranked sixth, so his nickname was "Liulang".

The corners of Chen Juncong's lips trembled and he asked, "How is your mother? How are your brother and sister-in-law doing in recent years? Have you received everything you sent?"

He asked a little eagerly, with a lot of concern.Chen Junming responded with a smile, "It's all good, and mother told you to save some money for yourself. The capital city is not comparable to Shunchang Mansion, and the expenses are always high."

As he spoke, he looked around at his younger brother again, and the more he looked at him, the more proud he became, especially when he was wearing a crimson official robe.He even praised without hesitation, "Our Liu Lang is really promising to be an official in the capital. It looks more imposing than at home. He is a handsome gentleman."

Unlike this younger brother, although Chen Junming had also studied, but because of his mediocre qualifications, he failed the provincial examination.He can take it easy, and honestly guards his wife, children and family property.But the only Jinshi in the Chen family was his younger brother, who was also an official in the capital.During festivals and festivals, relatives must boast.

Infected by his brother's mood, Chen Juncong finally stretched his eyebrows and laughed out loud.

"Brother is coaxing me."

"Where is coaxing, clearly tell the truth."

Chen Junming blamed the other party for saying this intentionally, and refuted it very frankly.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, they remembered that there was still a little one.

Things in the adult world are much more boring, and the anticipation of seeing my uncle has long been eaten up by sleepy bugs.Ning Ge'er was drooling while sleeping on the wooden table, with innocence on his immature face.

"This child has fallen asleep."

Chen Junming blamed, but his eyes were full of love and pity.

Leaning down and gently pinching his nephew's white and tender face, Chen Juncong asked the servants to carry him back to the guest room to rest quietly.

"Brother, why did you bring Ning Ge'er? Shunchang Mansion is far away from the capital, so it's not easy to suffer from the bumps."

Speaking of this matter, Chen Junming sat down slowly, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then he was a little confused: "Brother Ning has reached the age of enlightenment, and my brother has found a few teachers, either embroidered pillows, or too pedantic .Your sister-in-law and I thought about it and thought why we should go far away, and we wanted you to take Ning Geer to study. You were a first-class Jinshi back then, and it would be a blessing for Ning Geer to follow you."

In fact, there is another sentence that Chen Junming didn't say.

I didn't know if Brother Ning was worthy of this student.

His younger brother is Jinshi No. 4. Except that he does not have the scenery of the first three wearing silk flowers on his head and stepping on stirrups to parade through the street, he is indeed the one who hangs the Jinshi and No. [-] pennants, beats gongs and drums, and is congratulated for his title on the gold list.Not to mention other places, even in Huaijing, there are many younger generations of Ning Geer's age waiting in line to be students.

Thinking of this, Chen Junming frowned and continued: "It's just that you are so busy with trivial matters in the capital that you won't be able to spare time for fear of hurting you, so you want to come here in person, if you really..."

"Brother!"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Juncong with a sullen face. Chen Junming's heart "thumped", and he stopped what he wanted to say without thinking about it, but he felt a little lost.However, before that point of loss could expand in the future, the other party spoke again, with a slightly reproachful tone.

"My younger brother has only been away from home for three years. Is it necessary for my elder brother to talk to me like this? You and I are blood relatives, so we should support each other, not to mention that I love Brother Ning very much."

Chen Junming was taken aback for a moment, then he suddenly understood and apologized: "It's actually brother who is confused, Liu Lang don't take it to heart."

Seeing that he was clear, Chen Juncong's expression returned to mild.How could he not know that his elder brother just thought too much and entered a dead end instead, he didn't really alienate himself.

But after a while, Chen Juncong joked again, "Brother is relieved to be the shopkeeper and go back to Shunchang Mansion. In the future, brother Ning will cry and look for his father, and brother will not become a living person."

"Hey."

The person in front of him hadn't changed much from his poor-mouthed brother when he was young, Chen Jun was overjoyed, suddenly felt as close as ever, he waved his hand very generously.

"Don't be soft-hearted. This kid is naughty at home, running around like crazy all day long, and his mouth is full of tricky nonsense, brother can't control it."

This time I came to Beijing, apart from the matter of Brother Ning, I also wanted to see if my only younger brother was doing well in the capital.The two brothers hadn't seen each other for three years, and they went to sleep with their feet full, and there were many things they wanted to say.

I don't know what time it is, the conversation is going around, and suddenly it turns to marriage.

"You and Chen Runniang should have performed the husband and wife ceremony a long time ago, but it was only delayed for three years because of her father's death. Now that the filial piety period has expired, there is no longer any delay."

In the darkness, only the moonlight shines into the room, and the chirping of insects can be faintly heard outside the window.Chen Juncong, who was relaxed and already a little sleepy, immediately tensed up all over, resisting this topic.

Chen Junming couldn't see the change in his expression, so naturally he didn't notice the abnormality, and continued to care: "Brother, it's too late, but at your age, Brother Ning can walk."

Chen Juncong also remembers without needing to be reminded by his brother.When he left home and went to Beijing, Brother Ning was still a little kid who could only pull the corner of his clothes and call "Uncle" in a milky voice.

After waiting for a long time without hearing a response, Chen Junming wondered if the other party was asleep.Just as he was about to close his eyes, the gentle voice belonging to his younger brother sounded in the silent room.

"After the roll call in the palace examination, my younger brother will go home to handle the marriage."

Chen Juncong frowned and said the words that he had been thinking about for many days, but he no longer wanted to talk, turned over and said: "It's getting late, brother, let's rest."

Chen Junming felt that this sentence was a bit strange.One is why wait until after the roll call in the palace examination?But he is an ordinary person, and Liu Lang is an official in the imperial court, maybe he is delayed by official affairs.The second is the choice of words. He thought about the word "handling" for a while, but it seemed stiff and abrupt when used in marriage.But Chen Junming didn't doubt him, Liu Lang had rules in everything since he was a child, and he was quite obedient.

Because of the drowsiness and the trust that I get with my younger brother day and night, these worries are gone.

However, at the moment when Chen Junming died in depression, he still couldn't figure out how his younger brother, who had always been obedient and uncompromising, would do such a disobedient and irresistible thing. In the end, he became estranged from the clan and almost broke away from him.
