Rebirth of First Daughter

Mulan's marriage is scheduled for the sixth day of September. Time is short, but the dowry must be bought.

Although Chen Zhonghe is disgusted with master Chen San, he will not be harsh on his niece's dowry and ask Mrs. Chen San to withdraw five thousand taels of silver from the public.

Mrs. Chen quit: "MuQing is married to the palace, my family Mulan dare not compare with her. But Mudan has a dowry of 7000 taels of silver. Why does my family only have 5000 taels of Mudan? "

Chen Zhonghe said: "the third man didn't accept six thousand taels of silver from the Cai family. You asked him to buy a dowry for Mulan."

Mrs. Chen won't give up. She cried when she saw that Chen Zhong He didn't plan to increase the money.

Chen Zhonghe can't help Cui, but he won't be frightened by third lady Chen: "if you feel aggrieved, I'll let third lady send you back to your mother's home."

Mrs. Chen is the second daughter of a six grade official in the Imperial Academy. Her father is a Hanlin, and most of the Hanlin are poor. Mrs. Chen's family is also very poor. Every time I go back to my mother's house, I have to be smeared with oil. If you want to be sent back, you must be killed by her mother.

So Chen Zhonghe used this threat very effectively. Third lady Chen was too scared to cry.

Cai married Chen Mulan in good faith. All the betrothal gifts are good things. But Mrs. Chen left all the valuable things, such as the golden pig and the silk. Those worthless things were ready to be taken by Mulan. Another 5000 taels of dowry silver, she is only going to take 1000 taels to buy dowry.

At this time, the Chen family grew up in the capital. This is the second son of Chen Ran's elder brother, Chen Yu, who is one year older than Chen Zhonghe's father. When the situation in the capital was turbulent, Chen Ran himself couldn't leave, so he sent his nephew back to Jiangnan. In this way, even if their family didn't survive, the Chen family's direct branch still had roots.

When Chen Zhonghe got the news, he told him to go back. Seeing Chen clan leader, Chen Zhonghe said, "uncle, why don't you tell me in advance when you come to the capital? I'll send someone to pick you up."

Chen Clan chief didn't answer this, but asked: "why didn't you see your daughter-in-law?"

Chen Zhonghe pauses and says, "Huanzhang's mother is ill. She went to Tongzhou to recuperate."

Chen Clan chief frowned and said: "can the doctor of Tongzhou compare with the capital?" The niece and granddaughter are the imperial concubine of youwangfu. They are all invited by the imperial doctors.

Chen Zhonghe said vaguely: "her disease is a little complicated. There is a doctor who is good at treating it in Tongzhou."

Chen people, who are all over 60 years old, know that there is something fishy in it. Thinking of the news he got, Chen Clan chief's face suddenly became ugly.

Chen Zhonghe asked, "uncle, I don't know why you came to Beijing this time." Although the Chen clan leader is healthy, he is also a man in his sixties. If it wasn't for something important, he would never come to the capital.

Chen Clan chief also didn't beat around the bush with Chen Zhonghe, asked: "I heard that Zhongsheng went to gamble and owed a huge amount of gambling debt. Is this true?" Zhongsheng is a taboo of master Chen San.

Although the mouth is to ask, but Chen Clan chief is to believe that this is true, otherwise he will not come to Beijing. Asking Chen Zhonghe is just the usual practice.

Chen Zhonghe lowered his head with a heavy heart and said, "yes. My mother used her private house to help him pay off the gambling debt. " Even if you want to hide it, you can't hide it. It's better to tell the truth.

Chen Clan head cold face says: "our family's son, how can touch gamble.". If we find this, we should punish it severely. But how did you do it? " If it had been severely punished, there would have been no selling girls later.

Although Cui connived at all of these, Chen Zhonghe, as the head of the family, also had an unshirkable responsibility.

"I'm ashamed."

Chen Clan chief looks very calm, to this age, encounter things will not easily angry: "I ask you, how much do you know about Mulan?"

Chen Zhonghe didn't expect that Chen clan leader knew his family's affairs like the palm of his hand: "Lao San received 6000 taels of silver from others, and then betrothed Mulan to each other." He thought that although CAI was old, he didn't care because he was married.

Chen clan leader clenched his crutches in both hands and asked in a cold voice: "old three sells his daughter. How can you connive?"

"I asked him to return the money to cancel the engagement, but he didn't want to," Chen said. He also said that it was his daughter. It was his business who he wanted to marry Mulan. I had no right to interfere. "

When Chen heard this, he was disappointed: "you don't care if Lao San says that." This is reasonable. After all, the wedding is decided by parents. However, the premise must be a single family. Master Chen San's family is supported by Chen Zhonghe. If he wants to manage it, he can also manage it.

"Uncle, I really can't control it. Every time a tube, my mother would... "Later words, he swallowed back not to say.

Cui's recent quarrel with him will make him faint. Last time I just said that I wanted to separate my family. I was so angry that I was in a coma for a day. If Cui is so angry, he will be unfilial. In desperation, he had to compromise.

Chen Clan chief sneered and said: "you are filial, but you know that our Chen family's hundred year reputation is almost destroyed in the hands of your mother and son."

In recent years, there have been some scholars in the Chen family. But when these clansmen became the biggest officials, they were only four grades. So the Chen family has been relying on Chen Ran for decades. If this one is abandoned, the Chen family will have to break their bones and muscles.

Chen Zhonghe's face changed: "uncle, why did you say that?"

Chen said coldly, "do you know that merchant has a wife and a son at home, and his eldest son is 15 years old. When Mulan entered his house, he was not a wife but a concubine. Our Chen family sold a girl as a concubine. After hearing this, Chen Zhonghe turned blue and purple.

Chen Clan long cold face says: "so big matter, why didn't Mu Qing tell you for the first time? Have you thought about the reasons for that? "

Chen Zhonghe was very upset. His wife left home, his daughter distrusted him, and his son alienated him. He didn't know why he was mixed up like this.

Chen said: "since Mu Qing said that Cai had a wife and a son in his family, he must have evidence in his hand. Go to Youwang's house and bring back the evidence. "

After half silence, Chen Zhonghe said, "OK."

When Chen MuQing knew that the Chen family leader had arrived in Beijing, he asked Chen Zhonghe, "is the clan leader here for Mulan's business?"

"Why don't you tell me such a big thing?" This is a question, but also with disappointment and sadness.

Chen MuQing was silent and said, "Dad, if I tell you about this, it will be over in the end. He can sell Mulan to a merchant for 6000 taels of silver. Who knows what he will do next time? "

Chen Zhonghe said, "your third uncle certainly didn't know that Cai Derui had a wife in his family."

Chen MuQing chuckled, and the smile was full of sarcasm: "Dad, I believe it's useless. At this time, once it comes out, outsiders will not believe it. They will only think that the Chen family sells their daughters as concubines and is not worthy of being called a scholarly family. "

Chen Zhonghe was embarrassed, but he couldn't refute it. He had to be silent.

Chen MuQing stares at Chen Zhonghe and says, "Dad, do you really want to destroy the Chen family for the sake of your grandmother and third uncle?"

"I'll take care of it," Chen said

Chen MuQing has a personal card and is the companion of CAI Derui's wife. Anyway, it's not going to the Yamen. It's enough to have a personal certificate.

When Cai Derui saw his wife's house, he knew it was a failure. He immediately said that it was inconvenient for him to do business in the capital, so he wanted to marry a wife to take care of his diet.

Chen Clan long hears this excuse, eyebrow does not lift.

Cui almost fainted when he heard this: "you have a wife and children in your hometown. What kind of wife did you marry?"

In case of an accident, Cai Derui wrote a letter of divorce a month ago and sent it to his hometown.

Chen Zhonghe said with a smile: "your wife has been filial to her father-in-law. She belongs to the family of seven. The government won't accept your divorce. "

With that, Chen Zhonghe sends Cai Derui to the Yamen in the name of cheating marriage.

Although the Chen family is not as prominent as before, it's easy to kill a groundless Cai Derui.

Chen Clan chief didn't pay attention to a merchant at all. He came to the capital mainly to solve the disaster of master Chen San.

Although Cui is used to domineering in Chen's backyard, he is also timid in the face of Chen clan leader: "big brother, Zhongsheng is also kept in the dark."

Master Chen San cried and said, "uncle, I really didn't know his wife was still alive. He told me that his wife passed away three years ago, and now he wants to marry another one. " He was also obsessed with money. When he heard that the other party was willing to give him 6000 taels of silver, he was confused and agreed.

Chen clan leader didn't look at Cui and Chen San. He said to Chen Zhonghe, "according to the clan rules, we must get rid of the clan."

This is like a bolt from the blue for Cui and master Chen.

Master Chen San was so scared that he began to cry: "uncle, I really don't know about this." If he wants to be deposed, he will have to die.

Seeing that Chen clan leader was not moved, he begged Chen Zhonghe: "elder brother, elder brother, please help me. Brother, I'm your brother! "

Chen Zhonghe, like a pine, stood motionless in the middle.

Chen Clan chief thinks he is very hindrance, command attendant way: "drag him out."

Cui knew it was useless to ask Chen clan leader. She looked at Chen Zhonghe and said, "if you divide the old three, I will die in front of you."

Chen clan leader said without expression: "if you let Zhonghe bear the reputation of unfilial, I will never let you into our Chen family's ancestral grave."
