Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 600 A Rich Lady Married a Poor Scholar
When mentioning the second son Wen Kan, anyone could hear the pride in Wen Tiren's tone.

Although his second son's achievements in fame and fame are mediocre, he has shown superior talent in practice.

Wen Kan will personally do everything in the affairs of Sinong Temple. If he doesn't understand, he will look for books or ask experts for advice. He never puts on airs when dealing with subordinates or even farmers. He doesn't have the arrogance of Mr. Shoufu , This low-key and simple style has won unanimous praise from the people of Sinong Temple.

"It's still the Holy One who has a great vision. Employing people doesn't just look at their knowledge, but pays more attention to their talents and conduct. The selection of talents and abilities does not just stay in the mouth. Only in this way can there be officials who are as capable as my son and have places to display their talents.

If things go on like this, in the future, such capable officials will either serve as local officials or hold high positions in the temple. Their pragmatic style will definitely make my emperor's appearance look completely new. The scene that the Holy Majesty said is far beyond the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties is not far away!Hehehe! "

Maybe it's because of getting older, the normally cautious, gentle and benevolent talk more, and chatting with Wen Yuan during the hall and courtyard.

"The master is on duty? My concubine and Mrs. Sun congratulate the master on his birthday! May the master be healthy, free from disease and disaster, and prolong his life!"

Wen Tiren was sent to the door of Sijin's house, Wen Yuan returned to the front yard with salute, Wen Tiren waddled into the inner house, the old wife Hu and his concubine Sun were already standing in front of the hall of the main house. After her husband came in, the two women and several maidservants squatted down to salute.

"Well, my family doesn't need to be too polite. You two will have a drink with the old man tonight. You two have suffered a lot of grievances with the old man over the years. The Wen family has given a lot to this point. The old man knows it in his heart!"

Seeing the silver-haired, sixty-year-old wife, and the concubine who had passed her destiny, Wen Tiren was filled with emotion. He wanted to say a few more warm words, but due to the presence of outsiders, he finally Slightly comforted, then stepped into the house.

"Master, the concubine has sent someone to inform Yan'er and Ji'er, and they will come to greet the master later.

Since today is a happy birthday, the master will have to drink a few more glasses later.The concubine knows that the master doesn't like ostentation, Yan'er planned to go outside and invite a troupe to come to the house to sing, but the concubine blocked it, and it's better for our family to have a lively meal together! "

Hu and Sun helped Wen Tiren take off his official uniform and boots, and put on a loose and comfortable Taoist robe and casual boots, while chatting with Wen Tiren about homework, Wen Tiren changed his serious and upright demeanor outside, With a smile on her face, she let the old wife chatter and babble, without any sign of impatience.

Back then when he was a penniless and poor scholar, his wife who came from a wealthy family resolutely married him, and then she gave out her dowry to support him in studying the imperial examinations. This kindness will be remembered in his heart all his life.

"The sixth day of the next month is your birthday. At that time, ask Yan'er to invite the theater troupe to the mansion. Let's have a good time. Over the years, I have loved you!"

After changing into his robe and boots, Wen Tiren looked at his old wife's face with age spots, his eyes were full of warmth.

"This can't be done. The master is the head of the family, and this birthday is held in such a deserted manner, how can the concubine have the right to be more grand than the master.

If the master has this kind of intention, the concubine is content.When you and I are a husband and wife, we should support each other. How can you say that you are born, master, don't say that.The concubine is old and doesn't like to make noise, so the master should let it go! "

Hearing Wen Tiren's words, Hu frantically waved his hands and refused.

"There is no need to discuss this matter again, the old man has his own concerns. It's getting late, has the meal been prepared?"

Wen Tiren had made up his mind, so he changed the topic with a smile.

"Master, my sister is planning the time when the master will return home. Just now, I took my concubine to the kitchen and cooked a few special dishes. They are warming up in the steamer. Master is going to eat now?"

The always taciturn Sun asked with a smile.

At this moment, Wen Yan and Wen Ji brought their wives, concubines and children into the main courtyard respectively, and Wen Kan's wives and concubines followed.

Seeing their parents standing in the room talking, Wen Yan and Wen Ji rushed forward and knelt down on the ground, Hu and Sun avoided the side, and Wen Tiren turned around and sat on the rosewood chair.

"Boy wish father and lord evergreen pines and cypresses, good luck and good health!"

Wen Yan and Wen Ji knelt on the ground to congratulate Wen Tiren with clasped fists, and then kowtowed three times. Wen Tiren smiled and ordered the two to get up, and then all the grandchildren came forward and kowtowed, saying auspicious words of blessing, In the end, the wives and concubines of several people stepped forward and bowed.

The eldest son, Wen Yan, who is nearly fifty years old this year, has been weak since he was a child, and rarely goes out for activities on weekdays. After being admitted to the middle school in his twenties, he rested at home and recuperated. So far nothing has been done.

In the third year of Chongzhen, Wen Tiren designed to drive away Zhou Yanru, and finally sat on the throne of the first assistant as he wished, but because he was concerned about his bad reputation in the court, he could not arrange the future of his three sons well. It was only in the seventh year of Chongzhen that the second son Wen Kan was added to the cabinet and became a member of Zhongshu Sheren, and the other two sons were still idle at home.

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, under Zhu Youjian's intervention, Wen Yan and Wen Ji were placed in Taichang Temple and Guanglu Temple respectively. It can be regarded as a solution to Wen Tiren's heart disease.

"Currently, Kan'er is running around in the Jingxiang area, guiding local farmers and related immigrants to reclaim fields and build embankments according to the plan. If there is no accident, this year's festival will also be spent in Hubei Province.

This official duty was appointed by the Holy Majesty, so officials at all levels from the governor of Hubei to the next level should focus on building embankments and embankments. It is better for the Lin family not to feel resentful.

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Wu often go to Mrs. Lin's place when they are free to see if there is anything that needs help. If there is a big problem, you can tell your mother and you, everything is up to the old man! "

Wen Tiren looked around at the children and grandchildren and said slowly.

"Father, please be at ease. My sister-in-law and younger siblings often come to help my slave's house, and there are no major incidents at home. If there are people who come and go between the capital and Hubei, I hope my father will tell my husband that everything is fine at home, so that he can do business for the court with peace of mind. Mr. I have been away all year round, and there is no one to take care of me, so I need to pay attention to everything.”

Hearing Wen Tiren's explanation, Lin hurriedly stood up and squatted down to salute Wen Tiren, then replied softly.

The Lin family also came from a scholarly family. His father, Lin Youlun, was originally a director of the Ministry of Rites. Now, under the honor of Wen Tiren, he was transferred from the Ministry of Rites to Guanglu Temple and took the position of Shaoqing.Although he doesn't have much authority, at least his rank has been raised, and his monthly salary is much higher than before, which makes Lin Youlun, who has no ambitions, very grateful.

"Well, it's hard for you to know the general situation so well.

Kaner's trip to Hubei this time seems to have suffered hardships, but in fact it is laying a solid foundation for the future. Once the comprehensive development of the Jinghu area achieves good results, Kaner will definitely be in the forefront of the meritorious service album, and my Wen family will also There is one more member in scarlet robe! "

Wen Tiren's words made Lin's and Wen Kan's two concubines burst into joy, while Wen Yan and Wen Ji's wives and concubines were both envious and jealous.

But my family knows my own family affairs, and the wives and concubines of the two know it well, so it is no wonder that the master is biased towards the second family every day. My husband's talent is really mediocre, even if the master wants to be promoted, he will not be able to work hard at all.It seems that from now on, it is even more necessary to curry favor with Mrs. Lin. After the master retires, the future of his own child may depend entirely on the second child.

Wen Yan and Wen Ji are happy to see their second son's success. The three brothers are usually friendly to each other. Hearing that Wen Kan has a bright future, the two People are also happy from the heart.

Just as Wen Tiren got up and was about to go to the restaurant to take a seat, a familiar yet unfamiliar face suddenly appeared at the foot of the steps outside the house. Wen Tiren was shocked when he saw it: Why is he here?
