Chapter 325 Just a thought

Chen Xingyan was stunned for a moment, thinking that it was because his father also wanted Ruyi Workshop to be attached to the Chen family.

"Relying on mountains and mountains, relying on everyone to run. Asking for others is better than asking for yourself."

Chen Ke was a little surprised by his daughter's answer, and looked at her again with a very solemn gaze.

Chen Xingyan was also fearless, and let his father look at him openly.

After a while, Chen Ke nodded slightly and said, "That's right! If you were born a man, your future achievements will definitely not be lower than Lou'er."

"Father, don't praise me. I know how capable I am. I may be smart, but I may not be able to understand great wisdom."

Chen Ke laughed and said, "Your self-effacing words are all weird."

Chen Xingyan also smiled.

"Don't worry, you can do whatever you want. The reason why my father mentioned this to you is to ask you if you intend to get closer to General Weiyuan's mansion. After all, someone wanted to meddle in your business before, or General Song came forward to help block it back. I don't have to let you rush to please anyone, just think of it as an extra way for yourself, okay?"

Chen Xingyan understood this time.

Father was worried that his property would be envied if his property became too large.

These days, the most indispensable thing is to frame this kind of trick.

Now no one dares to touch her, firstly because there is Li County magistrate in Gaoyang County, the parental official covering her, and secondly, as my father said, the hands of the children of the aristocratic families outside were stopped by General Song, so It's safe for the time being.

It's just that she was only helping Young Master Song to heal his illness. With this kind of favor, she can't grow old?

So her father was reminding her to go around with General Weiyuan's mansion a lot, and if there was anything to discuss, there would be someone she could discuss with.

Even if it's pulling the tiger's skin to make a big banner, it can always deter some youngsters.

"I understand, don't worry, father. We don't have any shortage of rituals from General Song. But I heard that General Song is an upright person, so we haven't dared to send too expensive things."

Chen Ke nodded: "I have heard about General Song. Now he is mainly in charge of the security of the capital. It can be said that he is the emperor's confidant general. People like him have never been very good at things like gold and silver. Heavy."

"Father, all daughters are unfilial, and you are always worrying about her when you are tired."

Chen Ke laughed twice, waved his hand and said, "What can I worry about? You are too sensible. Your third brother wrote to me, saying that you sent him a 2000 tael bank note. , is there such a thing?"

Chen Xingyan nodded embarrassedly.

"I'm also worried that my brother has just entered the court, and the Chen family has just experienced some turmoil. If my brother is too cash-strapped, some things will inevitably be hindered by others."

Chen Ke nodded again and again: "Your intentions are good. He has been protecting you since he came. He has never been back to Jiangnan since he learned the news about you in Gaoyang County. He also came to see you during the holidays You brothers and sisters are deeply affectionate, and I am very pleased to see it for my father."

"Father, the third brother is now on an official career. On the surface, he looks good, but inside he is fraught with risks. My brother is alone in Beijing, so I am always a little bit worried."

Chen Ke's face darkened slightly. These days, he is also worrying about this matter.

"Father, did brother mention marriage in his letter?"

Chen Ke came back to his senses, sighed and said: "He did mention it, but what your grandfather meant was to find someone to inquire about the other party's family background and character. Your grandfather was mainly worried about what your brother liked. Is it that Miss Li? After all, she is not in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is not so fast to find out the news."

Chen Xingyan understood that literati still pay much attention to reputation when they get married these days.

In particular, Chen Xinglou is a Jinke Tanhualang, so he must have attracted a lot of attention.

"Your third brother has a good eye, and he has his eyes on Li Daru's daughter. Although this Li Daru is only the head of an academy, he once entered the palace to teach the princes. Not to mention that over the years, he taught Educating people is full of peaches and plums."

Chen Xingyan agreed with her father's opinion. After all, when her brother mentioned Miss Li to her, she also sent someone to investigate.

Although Li Daru has never been an official in the court, he has a very important position in the hearts of the scholars in the world.

What's more, even the current emperor has invited him to give lectures many times. The status of this Li Daru is no worse than that of an important minister in the court.

"Father, if the marriage is settled, there will always be three letters and six ceremonies. Will father go to the capital?"

Thinking about it this way, Chen Ke also had a headache.

Logically speaking, his father is going to come forward.

But he really didn't want Mrs. Liu to go too.

But in name, Mrs. Liu is his aunt after all.

And Mrs. Liu has always been displeased with their brothers and sisters, who knows if she will make any troubles during this time.

"Father is in trouble?"

Chen Ke didn't hide it from her, and expressed his concerns.

This marriage has to be handled by a woman.

It would be a bit awkward if Mrs. Liu was not allowed to go.

Chen Xingyan rolled his eyes and said, "Father, why don't you let third uncle and third aunt go to the capital with you? It just so happens that third uncle has been taking care of the household affairs at home, so going to the capital can also broaden his horizons. It will also be easier to manage the property.”

Chen Ke thought, yes!

How could he forget about the youngest couple!
Let them go together, and when the time comes, the third sibling will take care of the affairs of the new house. As an aunt, this status is completely acceptable.

"That's right, let's do it like this! At that time, we can only say that Mrs. Liu is weak and has to take care of his sick daughter at home, so he can't leave for the capital."

It doesn't matter what others think, what matters is that as long as the Li family has no objection to it.

At the mention of the Liu family, Chen Ke's face darkened again.

"What did your grandmother and your mother tell you to do?"

Chen Xingyan didn't hide anything, he just told the truth.

Since they dared to make plans for their own property, they had to be prepared to suffer the consequences.

Anyway, she has nothing to be afraid of!

Besides, it was so hard to get this cheap father to look forward to, so if you don't let him support you at this time, should you wait for him to go to the capital before writing a letter to complain?

Chen Ke snorted heavily, obviously getting angry.

"Father, remember to let me know in advance when you and your third uncle and aunt will go to the capital. I will prepare a congratulatory gift for my brother."

Chen Ke's complexion became better now, "It's enough to make a point. You have already given him 2000 taels of silver, so there is no need to spend any more. Don't worry, although our Chen family has suffered some blows, it is still better to marry your brother." no problem."
