Anxingfang, Chen family.
After the storm, it appears even more composed.
The Chen family's study remains the place where everyone discusses matters.
It's not too hot in the evening, and it would be very comfortable to put an ice basin in the corner.
Chen Yin is already twenty-three years old and should get married, but Zeng Bing's granddaughter is really not suitable.
The world is so big, why worry about not having a wife?
Chen Yin told his grandfather something: "The Duke of Qi invited me to gamble."
Chen Zuo blinked; his hair seemed to have turned much whiter, a result of his hard work for the family.
Chen Yin hurriedly explained, afraid that his grandfather would misunderstand: "Perhaps it's a bet that the Crown Prince's birth of a son or daughter is too popular?"
Chen Zuo breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Ke followed up with his analysis: "This is not a good thing. How can the royal family become their playground?"
The sage would certainly be furious. As for choosing the Duke of Qi, it probably wasn't something he did on his own.
Chen Ke said, "I'm afraid a lot of funds are also pouring into Sheng'an, practically offering themselves up..."
Considering how eccentric Consort Huan is, how could she possibly refuse? A bet on whether she'll give birth to a son or a daughter? She'd hand over all her gold and silver treasures!
Chen Yin didn't understand for a moment.
Chen Ke had seen other things and thought more deeply: "The Great Zhao has prospered to this day and possesses a great deal of wealth. Regardless of the Dong family, He family, Cui family, or Zhuang family. The Chan Sect is not just in Zichan Mountain; they are accumulating wealth everywhere, and now they have only leveled Zichan Mountain. This wealth will eventually surface. Some people are thinking of seeking opportunities in Sheng'an, and I estimate they will target the military generals."
Chen Shi said, "Could a military general like General Lü lack money?"
Chen Ke said, "Then let's play together! There are so many fun things in this world, plenty that rough men haven't tried. How many of them can control themselves?"
Chen Yin nodded: "People like Fu Dingchen and Huang Dian, these so-called new elites, are all targets. If you throw a lot of money at them, there are few things you can't accomplish."
Chen Ke pondered: "So the casino might just be a facade; who knows how deep the water really is inside."
Chen Shi said, "Casinos are always murky."
Chen Yin understood: "The Duke of Qi wants to go and investigate first? In Sheng'an, basically no one dares to touch him. However, given his previous actions..."
They've already dug up their own house three feet deep, and now they've changed their tune?
Chen Shi thought, "There's no need to investigate too deeply. Some things you just can't find out no matter how hard you try."
Chen Zuo thought his grandsons were good, so he just said, "Find a suitable reason to take action."
The question now is, should the Chen family follow suit?
If it's the Emperor's will, then there's no question. If Xie Yu chooses them to cooperate, then it's indeed what the Chen family needs.
Chen Zuo remained silent.
Chen Shi knew that his grandfather had tacitly agreed.
If the Chen family wants to solidify its position, this won't require much effort from them.
When the time comes, the Imperial Guards will naturally take action. Who else but the Imperial Guards can control the situation?
If Xie Yu dared to gather such a group of people, he estimated that the Duke of Qi's reign would be over.
As for choosing the Chen family, that's naturally due to the Chen family's resources, so the cost wouldn't be too high.
Although not the only survivors, the Chen family, like the Li family, had also been ravaged, so they didn't need to worry about others as much.
If the Dong family were still around, Xie Yu wouldn't need to rely on anyone's help.
As for the past relationship between the Dong family and the Chen family, Xie Qi and the Chen family are now completely open about it, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Everyone has to work together in the court, let alone here.
Chen Zhen asked curiously, "Is Yan Shu going to marry the Duke of Qi?"
Chen Ke said, "The palace is obviously happy to see it succeed. If it doesn't succeed immediately, they'll just drag it out."
Chen Zhen felt that Yan Shu had a tough time. Although she was related to someone and was an elder, almost everyone knew what she was doing at the Duke of Qi's mansion. If the Duke of Qi didn't marry her, she probably wouldn't be able to remarry.
Chen Zuo said, "Princess Guanghua is quite nice."
Although I don't remember her well, she seemed to have a good relationship with the palace.
In this way, at least the relationship between Xie Yu and the palace can be eased, which means that the emperor is willing to give his son a chance.
If there is any danger, the Chen family will definitely stay away.
Making meritorious contributions is secondary; the Chen family is good as long as they can maintain stability now.
Chen Ke originally thought he was flattering people, but he didn't expect that some of the writings were so sincere!
Chen Ke doesn't need to force himself; he should just do things at his own pace.
Chen Yin got ready and went out.
Chen Xi looked at the moonlight.
Chen Zhen looked at her and was reminded of Yan Shu?
Liking someone is fine; Lady Huan never restricts anyone. The premise is this:
For example, if you like Fu Dingchen, you can pursue him.
But Fu Dingchen isn't the best choice. Even if he has a bright future, anything can happen along the way.
Secondly, given his personality, it wouldn't be surprising if he were beaten to death one day.
For example, if she married into the Di family, she could still make a living even after becoming a widow; but if she married into the Fu Dingchen family, she would not be able to make a living even after becoming a widow.
Not everyone is willing to endure hardship, so why should they?
**
Qing'e Palace.
Huan Yue had a very fulfilling birthday today.
Xie Zhou held her as they lay on the couch, as long as she was happy.
The kids seem to be very active now.
Huan Yue always felt that he slept less and was more active than a newborn child.
Perhaps you have someone to rely on in the womb, so you don't have to worry about anything?
The first thing in life is to learn to breathe on your own.
Although you can only play with the umbilical cord and swim in urine in the womb, this kind of fun is something you can't experience after birth.
Perhaps one day a person will be lying in a nutrient pod? How can that cold machine compare to a mother?
If that's the case, then no child is as good as one who grows up in their mother's womb.
A mother's love is something that cannot be replaced.
Fatherly love is also great.
Xie Zhou played with his son for a while, then read to him earnestly.
Huan Yue felt that the scoundrel was flirting with her. If his voice were gentler, no one could resist it.
Huan Yue is about to fall asleep again. He's thinking about what he received today.
She didn't have time to look at it, and the sage rewarded her with a very large jade carving.
That's not the moon shining among the pines, but rather a pair of monkeys and cranes in clear skies.
What kind of artistic conception would it be if monkeys and cranes were accompanied by a bright moon among the pines? Anyway, Huan Yue easily lifted it up.
This jade carving can also sit steadily on her belly, suppressing her son.
Therefore, Xie Zhou should comfort his son and not let him be frightened by a jade carving. His mother likes it and will keep it to keep the second son in the future.
Huan Yue was in a daze when she felt her son kick his father hard.
Xie Zhou got kicked, I'm so happy!
So, what kind of idiotic communication is this?
Xie Zhou's reading was to encourage his son to be refined and continue in this way!
"The Five Periods: First, the year; second, the month; third, the day; fourth, the stars; and fifth, the calendar."
Huan Yue thought her son was so happy that he did another handstand. Was the umbilical cord not a steel pipe but a belt for aerobics? Or a rope for rope aerobics? If she gave him a ball, he could practice ball aerobics.
Xie Zhou resorted to his ultimate move: chanting scriptures for him.
This works!
The mother and son both slept peacefully.
Xie Zhou hugged two people at once, the two most important people to him.
Although his father is important to him, he cannot be hugged casually.
Although I don't know if his father ever held him when he was a child, that's not important.
Xie Zhou was holding his wife, sleeping soundly.
His father taught him how to be a father every day.
As for what Xie Zhou was up to, he didn't care at all. His father was still alive; why should he worry about such things?
Doesn't sleeping soundly?
