Chapter 49 (I helped him wipe off the drop of sweat with my
ef.the servant girls waited on her to dress her hair. Yu Xiu sat in front of the dresser and looked at herself in a bride's bun. Thinking of what she had done with Chen Bozong last night, her face flu...when he entered the hall, the three Chen brothers went to salute their parents first.
Chen Jingzong basically stood by, and his two brothers opened their mouths to show their filial piety.
Sun said with a smile, "all right, wash your hands quickly and sit down. The children are already hungry."
Chen Bozong took the lead in saluting and retiring.
Huayang looked at Chen Jingzong coming towards her, looking a little fiercely, looking carefully, as usual, as if she had just read it wrong.
Chaoyun held a warm wet towel and sent it to Ye Ma.
Chen Jingzong wipes his face and hands.
it has been a sunny day recently, the road is dry, and horses gallop past, naturally raising a lot of dust.
but Chen Jingzong rode fast and had little dust on his body, and the dust raised by his horses fell on Chen Bozong and Chen Xiaozong behind him.
the servant girls brought up the food, and the three generations of the Chen family, who had been away from each other for more than a month, had a warm reunion dinner.
Chen Tingshi of the East Hospital did not show up, saying that he had caught a cold.
after dinner, Chen Tingjian looked at his three sons and said, "all of you come with me."
Chen Bozong and Chen Xiaozong immediately followed. Chen Jingzong didn't want to move. Huayang secretly pinched him under the table case, which pinched the man up.
Chen Tingjian took his sons to the study and asked them in turn about their political affairs last month.
he asked in detail, and there was no problem with his sons' response. Chen Tingjian listened silently. If he felt something was wrong, he would give him a point or two.
Chen Bozong and Chen Xiaozong are still young, while Chen Tingjian has worked in the six departments for a period of time, and his rich experience is more than enough to be an officialdom mentor for any son.
this father-son conversation is bound to take some time. Chen Jingzong found himself a chair and sat in.
Chen Tingjian took a whiff out of the corner of his eye, but Chen Bozong and Chen Hsiao-zong just ignored it.
half an hour passed before he knew it. At this time, it was finally Chen Jingzong's turn to answer.
Chen Tingjian drank tea and was about to open his mouth when Chen Jingzong yawned.
Chen Tingjian glared at him and let the third go back first.
Chen Xiaozong knew that something must have happened in the city of Lingzhou. It had something to do with the fourth younger brother, and the eldest brother knew about it.
although he was curious, since his father didn't think it was necessary for him to participate, Chen Xiaozong wisely retired.
Chen Bozong sent his younger brother out of the study. He stood at the door and looked around to make sure that only the loyal servant beside his father guarded the door, looked directly at the other side, and closed the door again.
"have a seat, too." Chen Tingjian pointed to another empty chair and said to the eldest son that there was no reason for the elder brother to stand and watch his younger brother reply.
after riding and standing for half an hour, Chen Bozong was really tired. After thanking his father, he sat down as if nothing had happened.
Chen Tingjian looked at the fourth and said, "the princess has written to the emperor about the king of Xiang."
Chen Jingzong was not surprised that the Don knew about this and said carelessly, "well, the emperor should have seen it when it was sent on the ninth day of the new year."
from Lingzhou to the capital, the family letters of ordinary people will be delayed for about a month, and the ordinary correspondence of officials will take half a month. If there is an urgent report, it can be delivered in three or four days at the earliest.
Huayang's letter to the palace is an official general clerical post.
Chen Tingjian pondered for a moment and asked, "have you read the princess's letter"
Chen Jingzong looked strangely: "Don't you always tell me to abide by inferiority in front of princesses" Then I am a little horse, how can I read her letter to the emperor "
Chen Bozong frowned and said, "if you've seen it, you've seen it. If you haven't seen it, you'll answer it without seeing it. It's less weird."
it's all right to be rude to them. I told my father that he was so unruly. How decent it is!

Chen Jingzong leaned on the back of his chair with his hands behind his head, closed his eyes for a while, and simply repeated Huayang's letter.
Chen Bozong is still worried that the emperor will blame the princess for making a mountain out of a molehill. The kings of various clans have done something illegal, and enslaving soldiers to build a garden is really not a big crime. At least no emperor in this dynasty will convict the king for this reason.
the fourth younger brother was only criticized. What happened was carried by the family together, but they did not want to affect the relationship between the princess and the emperor because of their own affairs.
Chen Tingjian waved his hand and said, "the emperor is the most protective of his weaknesses. If the princess is sued, the emperor will only hate the king of Xiang."
although the emperor is greedy, he is still a wise king on the whole, and he can tell who is right and who is wrong.
but Chen Tingjian warned the fourth: "No matter how you act in the Wei office, and no matter what trouble you encounter, you must not involve the princess."
Chen Jingzong replied that he had sent a gift from the king of Xiang to Huayang. Otherwise, he would not have asked her for it if he was no longer short of money.
Chen Tingjian continued to ask his son about the situation in the health center.
Chen Jingzong: "Spring ploughing is coming soon. According to the initial division of military fields, I am going to recover all the fields occupied by others and distribute them to military households."
military fields are used to support troops, which is sufficient to ensure adequate food and clothing for military families. At present, the fields of military families are occupied by the king of Hunan and local officials, and the soldiers have no land to support themselves, nor do they receive military pay, and they cannot even meet the basic food and clothing, so how can they have the strength to train.
Chen Tingjian: "when people swallow the fat in their stomach, how can they spit it out easily"
Chen Jingzong: "of course it doesn't work for others to urge me. Who am I, with a father in the cabinet and a princess wife next to me who dare not give me face"
Chen Tingjian:.
he thought his son had some clever tricks, but in the end he still relied on the identity of the master of the horse.
"everything is done according to the rules, and don't give others a handle."
it is obvious that it is the youngest son's side of the matter that is the most difficult to solve, but the youngest son is lucky to be a horse and gets twice the result with half the effort, but he does not need Chen Tingjian's help to give advice.
Chen Jingzong left first.
Chen Bozong added a bowl of tea to his father and whispered, "Father, although the fourth younger brother is a little reckless, his heart is right, not to mention that at least a thousand soldiers enslaved by the king of Xiang have now returned to Wei for training. Xiang Baoshan and those people have tried to win over the fourth younger brother with beauty. The fourth younger brother is determined and has not been bewitched."
Chen Tingjian hummed: "if he didn't even have this merit, I would rather resist the order than let him marry the princess."
Chen Bozong: "the princess is willing to cooperate with the fourth younger brother in this play, maybe she doesn't have a crush on the fourth younger brother."
Chen Tingjian: "the princess is kind-hearted. She only wants to help the soldiers in the health office. It has nothing to do with the affair of her children."
Chen Bozong was silent for a moment and said, "the fourth younger brother seems to be cynical, but in fact he treats the princess with great respect. On that day I just reminded him that the emperor might misunderstand the princess's indulgence and willfulness. The fourth younger brother was furious and refuted me one by one."
"really how did he retort"
Chen Bozong told the truth.
Chen Tingjian sighed: "it is indeed too aggrieved for the princess to marry into the Chen family because she is not conceited but knows the big picture and takes care of the overall situation."
Chen Bozong:.
as a son and eldest brother, he has really tried his best to ease the relationship between his father and his fourth younger brother.

Chen Jingzong came back so late that Huayang almost fell asleep.
sleepy, watching Chen Jingzong stand by the clothes hanger and take off his robe, Huayang warned: "Don't forget to take a bath."zong asked in her ear.Huayang holds the table with one hand and beats him with the other.Chen Jingzong grabbed her hand and buckled it on the edge of the window."do you think there are fairies on the...
