Chapter 189 Runan Chen Family
Like Chen Yanzhi's family, most of the members of the Chen family have been farming and studying for generations. Those who are lucky can become small officials, and those who are unlucky can only be literate and become accountants.

But more people make a living by farming and selling coolies.

What is rare is that the Chen family has a clean and upright family style and lives in a remote place. Even though no one has made any achievements in studying and becoming an official for many years, they still think of ways to send gifted children in the family to continue their studies.

Chen Fulin specially sent someone to investigate and was very clear about this.

So since last year, she asked her father to take out a large sum of silver and sent a large number of treasured classics to the Chen family.

Many of them are books used by her grandfather, as well as Chen Yanzhi and Chen Zhuolin brothers. These things are the savings of three generations of the most promising old Chen family, and are more precious than the new books sent.

He also established a school based on the Chen clan, inviting famous teachers, and all the children of the Chen clan can enroll for free.

The Chen family has been trying to find a way to connect with the capital these years, so they have always kept in touch with the Liu family.

The Liu family also helped them a lot. The caravans and shops of the Liu family gave them many opportunities to make a living.

Unexpectedly, the Chen family of Youzhou contacted them with great joy, and even sent them such a precious gift!

Dozens of boxes of books! ! !

These are all priceless things in the market. Those who cultivate the land, the annual yield can only be used for a family to chew, and can only be used for a child's pen and ink.

As for the collection of books, there are only those passed down from generation to generation in the family, and there are not so many books added up.

The children in the clan are only the best among the best, so they are eligible to copy books in the clan, and they have to guarantee that the books will not be damaged, and they will be returned after copying.

These things sent by the Chen family of Youzhou are undoubtedly a great kindness to their clan!

The old patriarch who had been studying with his clan all his life panicked when he encountered such a thing.

Hastily summoned several clan elders to discuss the matter.

Elder of the conspiracy theory family: "There is a daughter of the Chen family in Youzhou who is the prince Liangdi, who gave birth to the prince's only two children, and she only dotes on the East Palace... Could it be that they need manpower for what they want to do?"

The crown prince is going to be enthroned as emperor in the future. A favored concubine needs a big family behind him.

The Chen family of Youzhou is still cousins ​​with their fathers, and the grandfather of the patriarch Chen Yanzhi of Youzhou is still buried in the back mountain of their old Chen family!
Therefore, the relationship between the two sects is neither far nor close.

The patriarch drooped his eyelids to cover the dim look in his eyes: "Then what do you think we can do to help them?"

farming?

It's not that he looks down on himself, these people, if they can't make a living, they can't be successful. If it's really useful, they can only make up the number of people, or farm the land.

The Chen family of Youzhou supports them, it is puzzling no matter how you look at it...

A group of elders discussed for a long time, but nothing came out of the discussion.

As a result, a few days later, several boxes of books were sent from Shangjing, which turned out to be even more precious books with the annotations of the Chen family and his son!
A letter written by Chen Yanzhi is also attached. In the letter, Chen Yanzhi speaks earnestly, telling how they left home from Runan these years, but due to limited conditions, they had to cut off contact with the main family, and also said that his father's long-cherished wish It is the soul returning to the hometown and so on.

That sad history and difficult years were narrated in Chen Yanzhi's letter. Those who read the letter cried, and those who listened to the letter also cried.

In the end, Chen Yanzhi also said, now that their team has finally managed to look like a human being, and with so much spare energy, they will naturally not forget these clansmen, so they have prepared these things for everyone.

He also said that the current situation in the court is changing, His Majesty is benevolent, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is working hard to rule, and the future of Dajing can be expected. Their old Chen family has a lot to do, and they also hope to help the clan.
The letter also attached a thousand taels of silver, asking the patriarch to establish ethnology in the clan, and agreed that the Chen family in Youzhou would donate a thousand taels of silver every year in the future for the children of the clan to study.

Finally, and what excited everyone the most, was Chen Yanzhi's promise that every three years, the most outstanding of the Chen family's children could go to Beijing, where he would personally inspect and arrange their future...

A thick stack of letter paper.

First count the hardships and hardships of those years, talk about the hard work, expressing that he never forgets the well digger, and then changed his voice, from low to high, telling the children of the Chen family that the future can be expected, which aroused the enthusiasm in everyone's hearts.

And with the Chen family of Youzhou giving them a clue, why should they worry about not being able to make a living? !
After the members of Old Chen's family read this letter, the whole clan was overwhelmed!

They want to read!
They are going to Beijing!

They want to join in the grand event!
They want to create the glory of Dajing tomorrow!

The old patriarch with drooping eyelids raised his eyelids and glanced at each of the clansmen who had been bloodied, and couldn't bear to tell them to look at their weight.

People said that every three years, the best one has to pass the examination.

A group of silly roe deer don't know why they are so happy...

That's it.

fair enough.

Dajing's official system is still the inspection system. If no one appreciates or recommends you, no matter how talented you are, you will have nowhere to display them.

Those who are even worse than them are like this, let alone a group of old farmers like them?
Now, with the strength of the whole family, they can only confess a small official of the county government.

The old patriarch had met Chen Yanzhi's grandfather and father, and when that branch left, he personally sent it away.

Later, the boy sent his father's coffin back to the family for burial. He had seen it before, but he didn't expect that this man would have such great promise.

The Liu family still has vision!

A merchant girl who has become the court's court wife, and the Liu family's first-class merchant has now also caught up with the prince...

**
Runan has arrived.

I don't know what His Royal Highness and His Majesty said, they will stay here for two days.

Chen Fulin thought, should she and her elder brother take this opportunity to worship her grandfather on behalf of her father?
Then I have to visit my grandmother and uncle.

There are also people from the Chen clan to deal with.

I don't know if I can use this day's effort...

As soon as the imperial boat docked, she called someone to find Chen Zhuolin, and asked Hu Qi to send someone to get off the boat first to buy paper money for incense sticks.

With her eldest brother around, she has nothing to shy away from going to the clan to pay homage to her grandfather, and it is up to him to deal with matters with the Chen clan.

After all, she is the future suzerain of their branch, and this is what her elder brother should do.

Their previous communication with Runan was all letters, and they don't know if the clan's school building has been done well, and how effective it is now...

Did they take their money away from business, and whether there are any available people in the clan, so I can go and see during this trip.
