After lunch, Shen Zhongnan took Shen Wenchang to the Shen Family Ancestral Hall, while Lu Qingyi played with Qiu'er in the front yard.

At the third quarter of the hour, Qiu'er pouted with a flower cut by Lu Qingyi: "Sister-in-law, Qiu'er is going to class."

"Is it time now? Sister-in-law will take you to Mr.'s." Lu Qingyi touched Qiu'er's little face.

"But Qiu'er wants to play with my sister-in-law." Qiu'er looked at Lu Qingyi with her big watery eyes.

This time, the softest part of Lu Qingyi's heart was called out, and she held Qiu'er in her arms and coaxed, "Qiu'er goes to class first, and after class, sister-in-law will play with Qiu'er, okay?"

"Then sister-in-law has to wait for Qiu'er." Qiu'er put her little hand on Lu Qingyi's shoulder.

Lu Qingyi nodded with a smile, stood up, took Qiu'er's hand, and went to the study.

After entering the study, Chen Jiyun was already waiting in the study. When he saw someone coming, he was stunned for a while, and then stepped forward to salute: "I have seen you, Young Madam."

Lu Qingyi nodded in return: "Excuse me, sir."

"Qiu'er has met Mr. Qiu'er." Qiu'er's voice was waxy, and she saluted from the side.

Chen Jiyun returned the salute to the bean-sized Xiaoqiuer: "Miss is polite, please show me your homework from yesterday."

Xiao Qiu'er pursed her mouth and drooped her eyes when she heard the words, she was tired from playing last night, and today she came back from sewing her brother and sister-in-law, had so much fun that she forgot to write.

"Mr. Chen, Qiu'er, will Qiu'er make friends tomorrow?"

Chen Jiyun heard the words and sighed: "Miss, in reading, one must have ambition, second, knowledge, and third, perseverance. If you have ambition, you will never be willing to be obscene. If you have knowledge, you will know that knowledge is endless, and you dare not be self-sufficient; just like He Bo Looking at the sea is like looking at the sky like a frog in a well, all of which have no insight. If you have perseverance, you will never fail to accomplish anything. If you want to study, miss, these three are indispensable."

Lu Qingyi was worried about Qiu'er at the side, but she was shocked after listening to Mrs. Chen's words. The three essentials of reading are clearly written by her and Chen Jiyun when they set up the family rules and family precepts. Mr. Chen actually said every word well, thinking of Qiu'er again I called Mr. Chen, could it be...

"Ma'am, Qiu'er knows his mistake, and Qiu'er is willing to be punished." Qiu'er's childish voice was full of determination.

"Miss is gratified to know her mistakes and correct them." Chen Jiyun said with a smile.

"Master Chen, please excuse me." Lu Qingyi was puzzled. She had just looked at this master just now. His bones were burly, unlike the daughter of the Chen family. "Just now, I heard what Mr. said and thought it made sense. I don't know where it came from?"

Chen Jiyun replied, "This is the family motto left by my ancestors."

Lu Qingyi was shocked, and looked at Mr. Chen carefully. Although Mr. Chen was young, he already had a thin layer of beard on his lips.

"I don't know who the ancestor is?"

Chen Jiyun heard the words and replied: "My ancestors used to be the family of generals. It is said that the young lady may not know that the most famous person in my ancestors is the drunk Chen Gong."

"Chen Jiyun?" Lu Qingyi was surprised, did her descendants live in the house?It's just that this descendant doesn't look like a woman. When she thinks about Chen Siyun, she can tell as soon as she meets her face. Male heir?

"Exactly."

"Oh, so it's a descendant of the Chen family, so I'm sorry." Lu Qingyi suppressed her doubts and nodded to Chen Jiyun.

Upon seeing this, Chen Jiyun replied: "Where, where, the younger generation is not talented, and I am ashamed of the great reputation of the ancestors."

"Sir, teaching and educating people has not humiliated the ancestors, so there is no need to be humble. Don't bother Mr., Mr. go to class." After Lu Qingyi said, he touched Qiu'er's little head, "Take a good class, and your sister-in-law will pick you up after class."

After Lu Qingyi finished speaking, she turned and left.

"It's really strange." Lu Qingyi went out of the study and muttered to herself. From the monastic training that she could say, she should undoubtedly be a descendant of the Chen family, but this identity?Could it be that some people in the later generations followed the example of the He family and adopted male babies?

"What are you thinking about?" After Shen Wenchang returned to the mansion, as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw his wife standing there meditating.

Lu Qingyi trembled, and when she turned her head to see that it was Shen Wenchang, she breathed a sigh of relief, and stepped forward to put her arms around Shen Wenchang's arm: "You're back, where is father-in-law?"

"Father went to the shop, what's the matter with you, you look so out of your mind."

"Think about something, but I can't figure it out, and when I think about it again, I find it's not important." Lu Qingyi couldn't figure out what happened to Chen Jiyun. After thinking about it, she didn't need to figure it out. After several generations, life and death, what's important ?

Lu Qingyi decided not to think about it anymore, looked at Shen Wenchang and raised an eyebrow and asked, "It's you, who finally went back to Nantong, why don't you go play with Fugui and the others, are you willing to come back now?"

"Forget it, Cheng Yi and Jinwen went to Beijing. Fugui said that Cheng Yi was going for the top prize, and he said he made a bet with Meng Ke and the others." Shen Wenchang said, looking Lu Qingyi up and down, "I went to Cheng's house Looking at Mrs. Cheng, I found a strange thing."

Lu Qingyi asked suspiciously after hearing the words: "What's so strange?"

"Why is Liniang pregnant? It is said that she is more than four months pregnant." Shen Wenchang squinted his eyes and stared at his wife's eyes.

"Did you read it wrong?" Lu Qingyi's face flashed with panic, could it be that Liniang told this friend that this friend likes children so much in this life, it would be strange if he didn't ask her to have children if he knew the truth.

"How could I get it wrong with such a big belly? Besides, what Li Niang and Mrs. Cheng said about four months." Shen Wenchang leaned closer to Lu Qingyi, "Li Niang also said that it was Cheng Yi's own flesh and blood, and most importantly, the one who gave birth The recipe, she said..."

"I remembered. Qiu'er was listening to a class in the study and asked me to change her pen. I'll go find her a pen first." Lu Qingyi panicked and wanted to run away.

Shen Wenchang quickly grabbed Lu Qingyi's hand, and with a little force, he hugged her into his arms.

"It's not too late to get the pen later. What's strange to me is, my lady, you have this secret recipe, and you are willing to give it to Liniang and Cheng Yi. Why, you don't know how to give it to us?"

Lu Qingyi selfishly wanted to have a baby after Shen Wenchang remembered.

"Didn't we just get married? Besides, I don't want to have a baby so early."

Shen Wenchang heard the words and said puzzledly: "Then, how can you make sure that it was you who gave birth and not me? You see, we are all women, and it is possible to give birth after taking medicine. In the end, it will be me who gave birth, my parents and you Will parents be scared to death? Should we find a secret place to raise the baby before we give birth?"

Lu Qingyi opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

"Oh, look, Cheng Yi and Liniang are really brave. If Cheng Yisheng is found out, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor. They dare to try. They are so courageous." Shen Wenchang nodded in a serious manner. , I admire Cheng Yi and Liniang's courage.

"I'm hungry." Lu Qingyi left Shen Wenchang's arms, slipped away, and quickly walked up the corridor. She couldn't help laughing where Shen Wenchang couldn't see it. Fortunately, Liniang didn't explain how to use it. This person actually thought that the medicine worked. Which of the two is born according to God's will, this is good, saving her a lot of talking.

"Cheng Yi is a bull. If he wins the number one prize in the capital, he will be able to hold the child when he comes back, tsk tsk." Shen Wenchang stood there and sighed.

At this time, Cheng Yi in the capital was writing a fuss in the tribute courtyard. Today is the first day of the general examination. The general examination will take three days. After the three days, he will stay in the capital to wait for the list. If he wins the tribute, he will have to stay in the capital , Waiting for when the imperial court will open the palace examination.The palace examination takes one day, and the ranking is determined on the same day. If the palace examination wins Jinshi, or the top three tripods, you have to stay in the capital and wait for the Ministry of Officials to arrange an official position. If you are lucky, you will be able to leave the capital after three months. Waiting for four months or five months is also common.

Cheng Yi in the cubicle was writing quickly. Feeling sweat on his forehead, he stopped writing quickly and took out a handkerchief to wipe off the sweat. This winter exam will suffer, and summer exam will suffer even more. If the sweat drips on the paper and stains the handwriting, To be invalidated, the surface of the scroll must be clean, not even a drop of ink.

Here Cheng Yi pretends to be a scientific research officer, while another descendant of the Chen family is changing clothes in his room.

"Miss Lan, do you think it's okay for me to wear this blue plaid robe?" Chen Siyun gestured with the clothes on her body.

Lan Yatou was speechless: "Master, Madame just asked you to accompany her to the nunnery to offer incense. What are you doing so handsomely?"

Chen Siyun paused when she heard the movement of her hands, yes, after half a month, how could it be possible that Miss He is still in the nunnery?When Chen Siyun thought about it, she was discouraged. She and Miss He would never see each other again, Fu County?Fu County said it was not big, but it was not small. Even if she went to Fu County every day, she might not be able to meet her.

Seeing her young master's expression, Lan girl rolled her eyes twice, and said to the young master who was wearing a robe: "Master, there is nothing wrong with dressing handsomely. I think there are some pretty young nuns in the nunnery."

"What?" Chen Siyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Are you asking your young master to seduce the little nun? They all devote themselves to cultivating Buddhism. Wouldn't it be a blasphemy to the Buddha if they moved their mortal hearts? Besides, with my conditions, I won't be able to hook up with the little nun helplessly." Bar."

"Then young master, are you hooking up with a young lady?" Lan Yatou said with a smile.

"Miss? Forget it, Miss's temper, Yan Wang's pen, if you are sentenced to death, you will die, forget it." Chen Siyun waved his hand and smiled.

"Master, Madam is pressing ahead." Ran'er ran into the room, panting.

"Oh, good." Chen Siyun put on his belt, walked a few steps and stopped, turned around and said to Lan girl: "Oh, yes, Lan girl, what is the name of the pretty little nun you mentioned? What? Look, I forgot again, what if the one you take back from the wrong bridge is not the one you like?"

Lan girl opened her mouth when she heard the words, in disbelief, just about to say something, her ears hurt.

"Don't, don't, Ran'er, don't listen to the young master's nonsense, how could I?" Lan girl cried out.

"Oh, look at me, I shouldn't have asked you when Ran'er was around, come on, well, I'll go to the nunnery to find out for you." Chen Siyun ran out holding back a smile after speaking.

"Young man!!! Woo~~~~~~~~~~"

Chen Siyun ignored the howling from behind, ran to the gate, and got into the carriage panting.

"Let's go." Chen Siyun patted the servant who was afraid of driving the carriage, and got into the carriage.

"What's the wind blowing today? In the past, when I asked you to accompany me to fast, you pushed back and forth. How did you agree so readily this time?" Mrs. Chen looked at her daughter, full of doubts.

"Well, didn't I think that I was a man when I was outside? It's not good to accompany my mother to fast and live in a nunnery." Chen Siyun laughed.

Mrs. Chen naturally didn't believe such a lame reason: "Hehe, what about lying, you are not a man now? Besides, you are old, don't you find it more inconvenient?"

"Hehe, when I grow up, it means that I have become more and more filial. Honoring my mother should be the first priority. What else, don't care if you don't care." Chen Siyun turned back the words.

"If you really want to be filial to your mother, let's start a family. My mother still likes your cousin, but if you have someone else who likes you, as long as you can handle it yourself, mother will not stop her." Really think about it.

"Mother, who can say for sure about fate." Chen Siyun thought of Miss He, and was really troubled. Although she felt uncomfortable when Miss He left, she didn't feel that she had to form a good relationship with someone, but half of her At the end of the month, she really couldn't control herself. She read books during the day and dreamed at night.She just remembered involuntarily, she almost suspected that she was lovesick.

Mrs. Chen was silent when she heard the words, she scolded her deceased husband over and over again in her heart, leaving the mother and daughter to depend on each other.

"Ma'am, we're at the foot of the nunnery." Madam Wu put down the footstool and said to Mrs. Chen in the carriage.

Mrs. Chen sighed slightly when she heard the words, recently she kept dreaming about her dead friend, and today she came to the nunnery to offer incense and stay for a few days to resolve her grievances.

Chen Siyun got out of the carriage and helped her mother up the mountain.

The mountain was covered with green pines and green grass, and mountain flowers everywhere. After walking on the mountain for a while, Mrs. Chen was already sweating a little. It was already mid-June, and the warm wind blew in, adding to the irritability and stuffiness.

Although Chen Siyun was better than her mother, but her flushed face was full of heat. As she walked, she let go of her mother's hand, took out her fan, and tugged at the neckline irritably. My own mother slapped fiercely.

After walking for half a stick of incense, the mother and daughter, Mama Wu and Pin'er girl finally came to the gate of the nunnery, and Pin'er stepped forward to knock on the door.

The little nun who opened the door saw that she was a regular visitor, so she opened the door of the nunnery.

"Amitabha, Mrs. Chen, please come inside."

Mrs. Chen clasped her hands together towards the little nun, walked into the nunnery with her skirt in her hand, walked a few steps and said to the little nun, "Master Huiyuan, my son plans to stay with me in the nunnery for a while, I don't know if there is a place for her ?”

Little master Huiyuan stopped when he heard the words, looked at Chen Siyun with a glance and said: "There are two more rooms outside, so there is a place to live in, but I just want you not to go to the back to provoke those little masters on weekdays."

"It's natural. I dare not say anything else. My son is very disciplined about this." Mrs. Chen said with a smile.

Mrs. Chen is willing to bring her daughter here because firstly, she is indeed a daughter, secondly, her daughter has always behaved well, and thirdly, she is confident that her daughter will not be so hungry and thirsty as to contaminate Buddhist women, so she dares to promise Huiyuan.

"So, Mrs. Chen, Mr. Chen, please come to the main hall to burn incense." Hui Yuan led the people to the main hall, and when he arrived at the main hall, Hui Yuan took three incense sticks from the incense table, lit them, and handed them to Mrs. Chen.

"Huiyin, go tell Mrs. Mingjing that Mrs. Chen from Bian County is here and wants to stay in the nunnery." Huiyuan greeted the little nun who was lighting sesame oil.

"Yes, Senior Sister Huiyuan." The little nun who lit the sesame oil put down the glazed lamp, turned around and faced a face that seemed to have seen a ghost, the little nun gave a slight salute to Chen Siyun who was too surprised to speak, and left quickly.

"Siyun?" Mrs. Chen knelt on the futon, looked back at her stunned daughter, "Siyun?"

"Ah, ah?" Chen Siyun looked at his mother, the shock on his face hadn't completely faded away.

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Chen sensed something was wrong with her daughter.

"No, nothing." Chen Siyun shook his head.

"Why don't you come here and worship the Bodhisattva?" After Madam Chen said, she straightened her back, clasped her hands together, and moved her lips slightly, not knowing what she was praying for.

Chen Siyun went to the futon and knelt down, still in a state of shock in her heart, she should have read it right just now, the little nun was clearly Miss He from that day.Chen Siyun turned her head and looked out, then at her pious mother, stood up quietly, and tiptoed out.
