Hidden golden branches

Chapter 8 Choosing a Son-in-law
  Because of Sun Yi's divorce, Mrs. Yun was deeply afraid that her daughter would leave the house to find Sun Yi, and she would have nothing to do but suffer.

In the past, it was not the case. As for this daughter, she had to choose her own husband.

Now the person she chooses would rather not have an official position than break off the engagement with her. This shows Sun Yi's determination.

There has been a lot of noise outside, and she can no longer let her do whatever she wants.

The Chen family cannot afford to be embarrassed.

Therefore, people were warned not to leave home. The day after Sun Yi returned in triumph and openly broke off the engagement, Chen Rong was guarded by her mother in Jinxiuyuan, so Chen Rong could not leave the house at will in the past few days.

Right under Yun's nose, Chen Rong couldn't get a chance even if he wanted to sneak out of the house.

Not only that, Yun would come to Jinxiuyuan several times during the day to look after her, fearing that she would not think about things, eat or drink, and harm her body.

On this day, Yun Man simply took Chen Rong to Fu'an Hall, so as not to worry about having to go to Jinxiu Court every day to take care of him.

"Madam, girl, the master is here." Mingzhu, who was wearing a pea-green brocade coat and skirt, came over and replied to the mother and daughter, who were staring at each other.

A familiar and somewhat magnetic voice came from outside. After hearing this, Chen Rong jumped down from the black rattan armchair next to Yun.

Her father, Chen Youyu, wore a light cocoon-yellow-edged pine smoke poplin robe with a watery yellow sash around her waist. She was as warm and moist as jade, white and elegant, her eyebrows were flat and generous, her nose was straight and delicate, her thin lips were elegant and handsome, and her beard was trimmed meticulously, showing elegance and majesty. , a whole body of righteousness. Before he even stepped into the hall of Jinxiu Garden, he saw his precious daughter trotting towards him, looking up and saying pitifully: "Dad, mother has kept your daughter at home for a long time, and she is going to be suffocated to death!"

When Chen Youyu heard her daughter's soft complaints, her heart suddenly softened. How can I still have the thought of blaming my daughter when I first entered the courtyard? He looked down at Chen Rong and smiled: "Your temper should be dealt with by your mother. You run out all the time. You are wild and wild. How can you look like a little girl raised in the backyard of a deep house?" It is like a mellow wine brewed over many years, with a rich and long aftertaste.

Chen Rong pushed him away from his "rebellious" father, stood up straight and said coquettishly: "I am the head of the county, not some little girl raised in the back house."

"Okay, okay, you are the county boss, not a little girl." Chen Youyu dealt with Chen Rong's entanglement in a conniving and perfunctory manner. He looked up and saw Yun Man walking out of the hall, looking a little sad.

"No matter what she does, her temper is getting louder and louder, and she doesn't know who she is following." Yun also frowned angrily.

Chen Youyu looked at his daughter's cute little face with a frown and a pout, and then at his wife's frown and displeasure.

Who needs to ask?
  Chen Youyu wiped her nose with her index finger and decided not to be a rat in the bellows. She only asked Yun Man whether the Yun family's festival day would be the same as in previous years.

Yun Man nodded and said: "No need to prepare anything else, my sister-in-law has already arranged everything."

"I want to go too." Chen Rong said positively when he got the chance.

Although Yun Man knew what her daughter had in mind, she still said angrily: "Of course you will go to your grandfather's memorial day, but if you are dishonest outside, I will have a harder time than you when you come back."

snort! It's nothing more than being punished by copying books.

Chen Rong lowered his head and thought to himself that Cuizhu was already used to following her anyway, so no one could tell.

Yun Man personally brewed a pot of Yunwu Mountain tea that Chen Youyu loved to drink, poured it into a green glazed porcelain tea cup and handed it to him: "Master, drink tea."

"I'm afraid Zhao'er won't be able to come back in time to worship at my grandfather's house this year." Chen Youyu took the tea cup from Yun Man and said. Yun Man replied uncertainly: "Yes, the letter said he will be back in the next few days."

Chen Zhao, the eldest young master of the Chen family who won the title this year, was selected as a Tanhualang after taking the exam last year. More than a month ago, he went to Tongzhou to provide disaster relief with An Guogong's crown prince, the number one scholar, Ji Yuxian.

If nothing else happens, he will return to the capital in the next few days.

However, after he returned to Beijing, he had to go to the palace to report on his duties. I also have to deal with the official duties that he delayed, so I'm afraid I won't have time to pay homage to the renter.

Chen Zhao, like Ji Yuxian, did not enter the Hanlin Academy. Instead, he was assigned to serve in the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Sixth Ministry, and held the post of chief official of the sixth grade.

In other words, although Chen Zhao had the post of editor of the Hanlin Academy, it was only in name only. In fact, he had been directly given a full-time job.

However, Chen Zhao and Ji Yuxian still retained their positions as editors and editors in the Hanlin Academy.

The emperor gave the two Hanlin Academy editors and editors, and the editors were also retained, so the qualifications of the Hanlin Academy are still there.

This was a double plan made by the emperor. Just in case, these two people had no achievements in their positions and were even incompetent, then they would have to return to the Hanlin Academy and continue to do their duties as editors and editors.
  This is an honor given by the emperor. Generally speaking, as long as the candidates pass the exam, there are very few who will be promoted to official positions immediately. Although the official position is not big, it has a motivating effect. Generally, after the palace examination, the number one scholar will be assigned to the Hanlin Academy for editing, starting from the sixth rank. The No. 2 and No. 3 winners are both compiled and are in the seventh grade. Although he was awarded an official position, he still had to study in the Hanlin Academy for another three years to become familiar with the business before he could serve in various ministries.

The new champion Ji Yuxian is the eldest son of the old general Anguo Gong Ji Linyuan.

Xiao Xuan saw that An Guogong had been adhering to the border for many years and had achieved great results through hard work. He did not ask his only legitimate son Ji Yuxian to enter the Imperial Academy as an editor. Instead, he entered the Dali Temple and accepted the post of deputy of the sixth-rank Dali Temple.

However, the emperor also took a fancy to Ji Yuxian's ability and hoped that he would train more in Dali Temple so that he could take on important responsibilities in the future.

Otherwise, how could the emperor send two young men to the same continent thousands of miles away to provide disaster relief?
  Sending Ji Yuxian and Chen Zhao to provide disaster relief this time can be regarded as training the two young people.

Unexpectedly, a memorandum passed from Tongzhou stated that the two young people handling the disaster and settling the victims were not inferior to the older officials in settling the victims afterwards.

Xiao Xuan was overjoyed when he saw the memorial
  Besides, Chen Youyu and his wife looked at each other eye to eye. Both husband and wife knew that their son's most precious sister was his.

When he comes back and finds out that Sun Yi, a wolf-hearted guy, broke off his engagement with Rong Er, he will definitely not be able to spare him.
  So on the day of the Yun family's memorial day, Chen Rong, who was wearing a simple and elegant soft undershirt with tea white embroidered with pink peach blossoms and woven with gold, took the eldest maid Cuizhu and the sacrificial items beside her, and went with the Yun family lightly. The Yun family is located in a small mountain forest near the ancestral graveyard in the suburbs.

Chen Rong completed all the etiquette and etiquette required by Yun's family, and her heart that had been ready to move for many days became alive again.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to go to Yun Mansion after paying homage to the ancestors at the cemetery, Chen Rong slipped out of the back door of the cemetery with Cuizhu.

As soon as he came out, he went straight to Sun Mansion.

　Yunman: What kind of fiancée do you want to choose?

　　Chen Rong: Hum, I want to ask him personally why he broke off the engagement?
  　　Xiao Zi: The plot requires it. If you don’t discard the fish eyes, how can you see the pearl?
