farming female castellan

Chapter 337
Before the banquet started, everyone was chatting in twos and threes.

An official walked to Chen Fan's desk, and Chen Fan and the others stood up immediately.

The man made a salute: "I have met Changping Township Lord, I am He Zhongsheng, the servant of the household department."

The four returned a gift, and Chen Fan introduced: "Sisters Chen Yue, Chen Ying and Chen Xiu."

He Zhongsheng had accompanied the prince to Changping Township, but this time it seemed like they met for the first time.

"Why didn't your husband come?" He Zhongsheng skipped the chatter and asked questions as soon as he came up.

"My husband stayed in the village to deal with affairs, this time I brought my younger sisters here."

He Zhongsheng squeezed out a smile: "Changping Township hides dragons and crouching tigers. All 15 people passed the provincial examination, and Chungui won five Jinshi again, which caused a sensation in the capital. I heard that your husband is the dean of the academy. He must be full of knowledge and talent."

Chen Fan smiled: "My lord servant, those scholars are all immigrants from outside. They have their own talents and learning. The academy just provides them with a place to study. They are teaching children to read in the academy. Changping Academy can develop, and they are indispensable."

"Xiangjun is humble. If Mr. Zhang is not talented enough, how can he convince those students? It's a pity that he has such an amazing talent, but he didn't take part in the imperial examination."

Chen Fan didn't answer.The people nearby also stopped talking and looked over.

He Zhongsheng didn't care whether she spoke or not, and continued on his own: "A man should make contributions, but Mr. Zhang missed the imperial examination because he became a married woman, and he will not be able to be an official for life. It is really sad and deplorable."

Chen Fan still didn't answer.Only He Zhongsheng's voice rang in the whole hall.

He Zhongsheng raised his voice a bit: "Many of the applicants who enter Beijing to take the exam are from poor families. Many wealthy families will support their studies and betroth their daughters to him. If they stay in high school, the whole family will be honored. But the township ruler asked Mr. Zhang to marry him, burying his talents. It is really unworthy and unvirtuous."

Chen Fan still didn't speak.

"Are you speechless? Women should regard their husbands as their gods. You are humiliating Mr. Zhang by suppressing such an amazingly talented husband. You have also deprived him of the right to inherit incense and made him bear the crime of unfilial piety. You should make peace with him, let him be free, let him display his talents, and honor his ancestors." He Zhongsheng's voice became louder, echoing in the hall.

Seeing that he didn't speak for a few seconds, Chen Fan replied, "What's the matter, Qianqing?"

"Puchi..." Some people couldn't help laughing out loud, while others suppressed their laughter.

In fact, Chen Fan really wanted to say "None of your business", but vulgar words are easy to be criticized by others.

He Zhongsheng became angry from embarrassment: "You don't distinguish between right and wrong, and you don't abide by the three obediences and four virtues, which is a woman's shame."

Chen Fan still said: "I am proud and ashamed, what do you want to do?" This He Zhongsheng always stared at Changping Township to make troubles, and today he publicly accused and humiliated Sipin Township Lord, what exactly did he want to do?
Seeing that he didn't speak for a while, Chen Fan continued: "I bought a field to build a house and set up a female household, which is in line with the court's law. Mr. Zhang asked me to marry me, it is his affection for me. Did Mr. He give a gift to Mr. Zhang, or did he buy the land and buy a house? Are you interfering like this?"

The hall was quiet, but the sound of He Zhongsheng's panting was very clear.

"If he was an ordinary person, it would be fine to marry him, but he is so talented, it's a pity that he was buried."

Chen Fan laughed: "I established Changping Academy just after I was named Xiangjun, and he served as the dean of the academy. Isn't this supporting him to display his talents? You can check the entire Daxiang Dynasty, how many women have established an academy for your husband?"

He Zhongsheng remained silent.

"Changping Academy took the exam for the first time and passed out fifteen candidates. They are famous all over the world. Are you afraid that he, the head of the academy, will not be famous?"

He Zhongsheng remained silent.

This kind of person is probably looking forward to changing the owner of Changping Township every day, seeing that she has nothing.He couldn't make a fuss about the name of the township monarch, so he used her marriage method to attack her and ruin her reputation.

Tell her to make peace with Zhang Ci, and then what?Zhang Ci definitely didn't want to marry her, I don't know what the hell idea is.

He Zhongsheng sneered: "Women should be gentle and refined, and the Lord should set an example. Why are you so loud?"

"He Shilang accuses and humiliates me in front of me, is it the behavior of a gentleman?"

Someone laughed again.

He Zhongsheng flung his sleeves and walked away, the hall was still very quiet.

Chen Fan shook the hands of the sisters on both sides, and everyone sat down together.Some of the others sat down, and some continued to stand, whispering to each other.

Chen Yue whispered to Chen Xiu: "He looks arrogant, but he doesn't forget his appearance, and he never said anything disrespectful." She raised her fingers slightly.

Chen Xiu nodded: "He only targets the eldest sister."

Chen Fan and Chen Ying sat quietly.With He Zhongsheng making such a fuss today, it is estimated that many people think of her as domineering and Zhang Ci as cowardly and soft-fed, and put some kind of label on the boys and girls of the Chen family.hateful!
The Feng family did not come, and neither did the Yan family and the Yu family. They probably all had the same considerations.

Not long after, the prince and princess arrived, and the concubines of the palace arrived. After a while, the eunuch sang the newspaper, and the emperor and queen walked into the banquet hall.

The emperor made a short speech, and everyone sat down in thanks.The maids and eunuchs began to serve food, and the singing and dancing performances also began.

The soup was similar to whitebait soup, Chen Fan touched the bowl with his fingers, it was hot.She took a sip of the soup and it was delicious.A dish of cold dishes, crisp and refreshing, sour and very appetizing.It seems that the dishes on this palace banquet are not just for show.

Chen Fan poured a glass of wine for each of his sisters and said, "Toast."

The first dance ends and the dancers leave.The prince and princess got up to celebrate their birthday.Then the second princess, Princess Yongning, stood up: "I wish my father and emperor a long life, and I wish my dynasty a prosperous future." After speaking, he drank the wine in the glass.

The emperor took a sip cheerfully.

Princess Yongning's voice was very sweet, and her tone was very coquettish: "Father, all the young ladies prepare talents every year, and I want them to perform for Father's birthday earlier this year."

The Emperor nodded in agreement.

So, several ladies from all over the world took turns to perform on stage, and the prince, princess and ministers took turns to congratulate the emperor on his birthday. The scene was very lively.

Princess Yongning looked at the field and said: "I have heard the name of the Lord of Changping for a long time, and I am very grateful to the Lord for his great contribution to our dynasty's harvest. I believe that the talent show in Changping Township will also convey the meaning of Changping."

Making things difficult is so lofty.

Chen Fan didn't intend to perform at first, but he doesn't have to be afraid if he gets picked on.She looked back at Chu Sheng, and Chu Sheng walked out.

Chen Fan got up and walked to the center of the venue, and saluted: "Changping Township has been deeply favored by the emperor, and has a bumper harvest year after year. We would like to present songs and dances, and wish the Holy One a long life and good fortune. I will be prosperous and the people will be prosperous, and the mountains and rivers will be safe."

oh?Many people straightened their bodies.The empress's smile also deepened.

Chen Fan said: "This dance requires two swords, the kind used for performance. Can I borrow them from someone?"

The emperor waved his hand, and eunuchs immediately went to prepare.

After the eunuch found two swords and handed them to the emperor for inspection, they passed them to Chen Fan. Chu Sheng also took Feng Yiqin and handed them to Chen Ying.

Yan Qiong had a flute and a flute on her body, which she gave to Chen Yue and Chen Xiu respectively.

When those who knew the goods saw the qin, they exclaimed in unison: "Fengyi?"
