Chapter 261 Old friends get together
...
After the court session.
He Chen made an appointment to visit the Meng residence.
He also brought gifts.
The good brothers back then are now married with two children.
He had been concentrating on preparing for the exam, and finally passed the exam, and originally had a fiancée.
However, his fiancée's family actually believed the words of Fairy Liu, saying that they were not suitable for each other, and broke off the engagement.
He Chen was completely confused.
It would have been fine if this uncle had beaten him up for no reason when he returned to Beijing.
This Fairy Liu, he later met her, and it turned out to be Miss Jiang Wan.
Why did she want to ruin his marriage?
But it was broken off anyway.
For such a person who would believe what others said casually, it would have been better not to get married. Fortunately, the engagement was broken off, which saved his life.
Originally, he had so many confidantes, and thought he would get married and have children early.
But he didn't expect that Brother Meng would get there first.
He also heard rumors in the capital that Shao Xia was bewitched by a woman who looked as beautiful as Daji, and he didn't even want to go home.
He actually thought it was funny, but it was difficult to refute the rumors. After all, he couldn't comment on the appearance of his friend's wife behind her back.
Arriving at the Meng family,
He Chen sat in the reception room drinking tea, waiting for Shao Xia to come.
Thinking of reuniting with old friends, he was a little excited.
The tea he drank tasted particularly fragrant.
No, it seemed to be quite fragrant.
The tea quality of the Meng family has improved.
When I came to Brother Meng's house before, I felt that their requirements for tea were also very ordinary.
I couldn't taste good.
But now, even when I am just a guest and waiting, I can
still smell the fragrance of the tea. When a fat and broad man came out, He Chen thought he was a retainer of the Meng Mansion.
But when he came closer,
He Chen reacted.
Damn!
"Shao Xia?" He called out hesitantly.
Meng Shao Xia had a blessed face.
The handsome square-faced boy back then, now looks very blessed.
He Chen didn't recognize him at first sight.
"Brother He, congratulations, you won the third place in the imperial examination, and your wish has come true."
"Shao Xia, congratulations, you got married and became a father, and your wish has come true."
The two complimented each other and then hugged each other. They
patted each other's shoulders and backs heavily.
Both of them have changed in appearance.
In Meng Shao Xia's eyes, it was also surprising.
Brother He has aged a lot. He used to be a romantic young man, but now his hairline is much higher and there are wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. It's true that reading too much makes you age easily.
But when hugging, he felt that the other party had not changed.
Sure enough, they were still the same as when they traveled around the world together.
The feelings have not changed.
The two hadn't seen each other for a long time and had endless things to talk about.
They chatted for an hour.
Meng Shaoxia wanted to keep him for dinner, and then took him to see his two children.
The two little fat kids, with clear eyes, stared at you blankly.
He Chen looked incredible. It was
really unexpected.
The twins didn't look alike at all.
One had a square face and the other had a round face.
But it was so painful to put them together.
He wanted to hug them, but didn't dare to.
He still remembered that he had hugged Brother Meng's sister-in-law many years ago and drooled the whole time.
Encouraged by Brother Meng, He Chen also hugged the two little guys.
Nicknamed them Big Goose and Little Goose.
He hugged them one by one, and they were raised so well and weighed a lot.
They grinned when he held them, and looked at him quietly when he put them down.
He Chen was overjoyed.
In an instant, he wanted to get married and have children.
No wonder Brother Meng looked so satisfied.
At dinner time, we had the Meng family's dinner.
Now under the guidance of Aunt Yin.
Jiang Yu is in charge of the Meng family's catering.
The whole family is well behaved.
Madam Meng and Old Madam Meng have gained a pound or two in the past few days.
It's so delicious.
Meng Qingshe has also gained weight.
The whole family is showing signs of gaining weight. With
delicious food in front of them, it's unstoppable.
He Chen's eyes were filled with tears while eating the Meng family's meal.
It was so delicious that he almost bit his tongue.
Brother Meng is so lucky.
He met the girl who was abducted that year. Now she is more generous. Although she is not the Daji that people outside say, she is very dignified and generous, and looks very friendly.
After dinner, He Chen chatted with Meng Shaoxia for a long time, and only said goodbye when Meng Shaoxia said she was going to take care of the baby.
The streets of the capital are wide, and the carriages are rolling. He Chen sighed in his heart, feeling somewhat satisfied and somewhat disappointed. Looking at the dark night outside the window, he was mostly satisfied.
After all, old friends can still get together, and it's good enough if everyone is well.
...
It gets dark early in winter.
After leaving the court, Jiang Changtian did not go out to socialize.
He stayed at home with his wife and children.
Now that the eldest daughter and son-in-law are not at home, there are a little fewer people at home.
But with the addition of Xiao Cong, the population shortage was slightly made up.
Xiu Qichi and Jiang Feng went back to their hometown in Jiangzhou.
They cannot bring too many people into the capital, and they are currently planning to resettle them in Jiangzhou.
Xiu Qichi and Jiang Feng went to resettle the population.
There are only Jiang Changtian, Qin Luoxia, Mianmian and Zi Congheng at home.
Mianmian is very interested in what the emperor looks like.
After all, he is the number one big boss of the dynasty, and it would be amazing if she could see him.
Thinking about her family, it is really amazing that they have reached the point where they can see the top leader, which is awesome.
Zi Congheng was not curious, he didn't care about the outside world at all.
But Mianmian was very curious.
Mianmian grabbed Chong Ge and participated in family life together.
"The emperor looks very kind, I will take you to see him next time I have a chance."
Jiang Changtian said.
Jiang Mianmian felt that her father was perfunctory to her.
It's better to just do it perfunctorily than to test her on her academic performance.
As she was thinking this, her father started to test her on her academic performance in the afternoon.
Fortunately, Chong Ge was there to accompany her.
For the whole afternoon, Jiang Mianmian just watched her father praise Chong Ge.
It feels terrible to study with a super academic master.
He understands everything, but you are still confused about the meaning of the first question.
Mianmian is drowsy.
In the quiet study.
Leaning on the big single sofa, Mianmian is holding a book in her hand, pretending to be serious.
The advantage of having two students is that you don't have to be called all the time, and it's easy to sleep.
I'm really sleepy.
The study is actually very quiet in the afternoon.
Jiang Changtian and Zi Congheng are asking and answering questions.
Jiang Changtian was obviously testing his knowledge, but suddenly he asked, "Is Zi Lu's original name Chu Heng?"
Zi Congheng was stunned for a moment and nodded.
It was a very important and secret matter, but to Jiang Er, it was like opening a book and reading the answer.
He read it out.
The former prince died suddenly, and Zi Lu also died suddenly, at a similar time.
Normally, no one would be so crazy to connect the two people.
Just like normal people would only feel friendly and friendly when seeing similar faces, instead of thinking that they were holding the wrong person.
Zi Congheng's eyes were as dark as ink, staring at Jiang Er.
Jiang Er also looked at him.
Mianmian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly she was a little sober.
She saw that Brother Chong actually nodded.
It seemed that they were talking about how much this dish cost per pound.
Suddenly they talked about the legend that the bully on this street had a huge background.
Even if she didn't have common sense, she knew that Chu Heng was the former crown prince.
He died a while ago, and a national funeral was held.
Now that she thought about it, Zi Lu died at about the same time as the former crown prince.
And Zi Lu's identity was strange, he appeared out of nowhere.
He had a strong foundation, but he had no origin.
Qi Qi, a top scholar, was willing to serve him.
And Zi Congheng was the son of the crown prince, and a legitimate grandson of the emperor?
Jiang Mianmian stared at Brother Chong with wide eyes.
She never expected that the former crown prince, who was thought to be imprisoned, would rebel outside with a full beard, and he was rebelling against his father.
Her brother Chong was actually a legitimate grandson of the emperor. If there hadn't been such a messy accident, he might have been the next grandson of the emperor.
But thinking of Chong Ge's temper, being the emperor is a bit too difficult for him.
It's too difficult for the ministers.
The emperor doesn't want to talk, and the ministers have to play the game of "you draw, I guess" every day. It's too difficult.
Suddenly, she felt that her brother was noble and behaved elegantly.
Mianmian quickly leaned over and rubbed his head.
Zi Congheng: ...
Jiang Changtian: "Mianmian, what are you doing?"
"Rubbing a little noble." Jiang Mianmian said.
"Don't be naughty."
"I have had a headache since I was a child, and I was afraid that I would not live long. My father felt sorry for my short life and was trapped in the mansion, so he escaped. He wanted to cure my illness, so he rebelled. When I lived in your house when I was a child, I felt that my headache seemed to be cured after I returned, but I didn't expect that my father also had a headache, but he never told me. Later, his headache flared up and he died suddenly. He died very suddenly." Zi Congheng told this story calmly.
His cold temperament was also due to his headache. He didn't dare to be too happy or too unhappy.
He didn't dare to accept others or like others. He
was worried that one day, he would have a headache flare up like his father and die suddenly.
He was not depressed.
He was just panicking, closed, and escaping.
"Don't think too much. The past is just like passing clouds. Live well in the present and every day. Every day is good. Add them together and you have a good life." Jiang Changtian said.
