Chapter 222 The Fuguogong family is back!
Although the Zhao and Chen families were granted a marriage by the Queen, before the wedding date was set, a major incident occurred in which Pan Qiaoyun and her servants beat up Zhao Manman, which immediately became the entertainment headlines in the capital.
The next day, Chen Shengda and his family of three went to the Zhao family like grandsons, saying all the nice things they could and sending a car full of gifts. Finally, the matter was settled.
Pan Qiaoyun was angry. She knew that Chen Shengda must have had an affair with the widow Wei, otherwise it would not have been seen by Pan Hong again and again. But what could she do? Her eldest son was about to take the imperial examination and get married. Could she still make a fuss? Alas!
They could no longer count on Chen Shengda to buy a house for the family. Today, Chen Shengda went to court, his eldest son went to a private school, and his youngest son went to the Imperial College. So Pan Qiaoyun took out the most valuable banknotes from her home and left the Chen Mansion.
His eldest son has already been granted marriage, so he must prepare a new house for the wedding. In their family's house, the eldest son and the youngest son live in a small courtyard, and the younger one can barely move around. If the young lady from the general's mansion marries into the family, where will she live?
Pan Hong took Pan Qiaoyun and took the silver to Guangji Dental Clinic. After looking at three houses, they finally found a house they liked. The house was located in the east of the city. The courtyards in the east of the city were larger. A courtyard with three entrances was very bright, but it was a little expensive, at 25,000 taels!
Pan Qiaoyun had some savings, so she gritted her teeth and bought the house. Since the eldest son was not Chen Shengda's biological son, he naturally would not pay for it!
A three-courtyard house is ideal, except that the house is a bit shabby. But since my son is getting married, it has to be renovated, so that’s not a big deal.
In the afternoon, she went to the government office to handle the transfer of the house deed. After she put the house deed in her pocket, she went to the new house and started packing with several servants.
Pan Hong found a few carpenters, and Pan Qiaoyun arranged the decoration of the main courtyard of her and Chen Shengda. There was no rush for the eldest and youngest sons, as she wanted her sons to come and see how to decorate it themselves.
In order to get her son married, Pan Qiao Yun spent all her savings. It was estimated that it would cost nearly 30,000 taels to buy the house and decorate it. Pan Qiao Yun felt that her wallet was already tight. Alas!
In the evening, Chen Shengda walked into the house with a depressed look. He did not see Pan Qiaoyun and the maids at home. He thought that Pan Qiaoyun might have gone to her parents' home. He asked Chen Kuan, who was still lame when walking, to take the silver and go out to buy some wine and food!
Half an hour later, Chen Shengda and Chen Kuan sat at home to eat. Chen Shengda was in a particularly bad mood because today, Duke Wei Zhendong returned to the capital with his pregnant wife and little daughter!
Didn’t you see that old dog in the Golden Palace, looking very proud and smug? He was rewarded by Emperor Bogu and praised for him and his sons’ loyalty to the country!
Thinking of Widow Wei again, Chen Shengda looked at Chen Kuan and said helplessly: "Chen Kuan, I've thought about it and I think the Wei family can't go on like this.
How about this, Chen Kuan, you divorce Pan Lian'er? Just say she got into a lawsuit and you can't afford her anymore. After you divorce her, I will let you marry the widow Wei, and then live in the backyard of Buzhuangzi!"
Chen Kuan was dumbfounded at the time: "Sir, you mean that after I marry her, you and her will continue, what about me?"
Chen Shengda nodded and said, "My Lord will give you some money to buy a young and beautiful girl as your concubine."
Chen Kuan...
It sounds like a good thing, but why does it feel weird? Am I being cuckolded?
The two were drinking alone at home when they suddenly heard a noise in the yard. Chen Kuan hurried out and ran back: "Madam was brought back by Pan Hong in a carriage!"
Chen Shengda: "Chen Kuan, quickly clean up all the wine and food."
Chen Kuan quickly took the square plate and took away all the food and wine, then ran back to his own room.
Chen Shengda, the actor who won the Golden Man Award, was holding a book and reading it in a respectful manner. Pan Qiaoyun had been busy all day and was exhausted. She followed the maids into the yard. As soon as she entered the main room, she saw a man sitting there.
Pan Qiaoyun said with a tired look on her face: "My husband is back? Pan Hong asked the kitchen to make some more delicious food tonight. We will go pick up the second young master later. When the eldest young master comes back, we will start eating!"
Chen Shengda just sat there reading without even looking at his wife. When night fell, the eldest son and the second son came back, and the maids brought up the food. Eight main dishes were cooked at home tonight.
Chen Shengda looked at the food on the table and suddenly felt a little regretful. He and Chen Kuan were only eight-tenths full, and it would be a pity to waste the food now!
Pan Qiaoyun looked at her two sons with a smile, then looked up at her husband and said, "My husband went to the court today to do his work, and the sons went to study. I was thinking about it at home. Our Wentong has already been engaged to the daughter of the general's mansion.
We are just waiting for General Zhao to return to the capital, then we can set the wedding date and send the engagement gift over. It may be too late for us to prepare the new house by then!
Today I took out the money that had been saved in our family's savings box and went to the east of the city to buy a large house with three entrances. Although it cost about 30,000 taels including the decoration, our family can't always stay in this small Chen Mansion. When our sons grow up and get married, they need to live in a large courtyard. Our family can't have such a small house!"
Chen Shengda was suddenly shocked that his wife actually took out 30,000 taels to buy a house and renovate it. It seemed that she had taken out all the money she had saved.
Chen Wentong was very moved. He stood up excitedly and bowed deeply to his mother: "Thank you, mother. Thank you for taking care of me!"
Chen Wenyi imitated his brother's greeting: "Mom, our family is going to move to a bigger house, right? Then will I have my own yard?
Great! Finally I don’t have to live in the same yard with my elder brother anymore. He always controls me…”
Pan Qiao Yun smiled lovingly. No matter how rough a woman she was, she treated her son with great love.
The woman smiled and said, "Wentong and Wenyi, you will all have your own yards after you move in. Wentong's yard will be bigger, especially. You can start decorating your yard after you arrange it. You can go and have a look after school tomorrow. If there is anything you want to change, just tell the carpenters!"
Husband, when you get off duty early, we can go together to see how our main courtyard should be decorated!"
Chen Shengda's expression finally softened. He looked at his wife and sighed helplessly: "Madam, we are both an old couple. We will both be the parents-in-law in the future. No matter what you do in the future, you must trust your husband and don't do something shameful that will make the sons in the family lose their heads. Do you understand?"
Pan Qiaoyun nodded somewhat aggrievedly: "Husband, isn't it because I love you? Our son is already so big, and I'm worried that you don't want us mother and son anymore..."
Chen Wentong deliberately said: "Mother, you are definitely wrong this time, don't just believe everything you hear."
Chen Shengda nodded in satisfaction: "Alright! Don't blame your mother, she's also working hard, Madam, you've worked hard today, let's eat!"
Besides, it was a time for the whole family to reunite in the Mansion of the Duke of Fuguo. The old lady of the Wei family prepared more than a dozen dishes tonight, and there was no room on the table. The old lady was very happy tonight, and she held her daughter-in-law's hand and showed her concern.
"County Lady, have you felt uncomfortable on the way? Zhendong is careless and sent the child to Shunjing Prefecture without telling the family."
Wei Zhendong was standing aside, gnashing his teeth and eating meat and vegetables in big mouthfuls. Shen Ruyi helped her mother pick up the meat and vegetables, and then picked up some vegetables for her grandmother.
The little guy Wei Wanqian stuck close to his sister, pouring soup into her bowl, and loved her so much.
"Sister, can you take Wanqian with you when you go out next time?
Wanqian cried several times at home, just because you didn't take Wanqian with you!"
Shen Ruyi happily put her cheek close to her brother: "Wanqian, how is your study recently? Do you have any exams?"
"Hehehe! I had the exam today, and I got first place. I was first in both classes!
Chen Wenyi has been showing off these days. His brother Chen Wentong was given a marriage by the Queen to a daughter of the General's Mansion. Chen Wenyi is showing off like he has a wife! "
Shen Ruyi's mouth twitched: "What? Chen Wentong was granted marriage by the Queen?"
She couldn't help but think in her heart, could this be what her cousin meant?
