The brothers who traveled westward in those years

Chapter 18 0018
Prime Minister Yin's family has three daughters in total, the eldest daughter married far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and the second daughter married a general who was also in Chang'an.Only the third daughter refused to leave the cabinet for a long time, which really made Prime Minister Yin and his wife feel a headache.

They also wanted their youngest daughter to stay with them more at home, but the youngest daughter was born with a thousand charms.She was rated as one of the top ten beauties in Chang'an City when she was a child, and she has been ranked among the top three in the past two years.More than once, she has been in the top ten of the beauty rankings of the Tang Dynasty, and many young people come here to see her beauty.

The threshold of Prime Minister Yin's family was almost leveled by the matchmaker, but he never saw that the youngest daughter was interested in anyone.No matter who she met, she always had the posture of a lady, neither humble nor overbearing, not at all like a girl who just turned [-].

Prime Minister Yin is an important minister in the court, so it is natural that his status is not low to be able to come to his house to propose marriage.Except for the grandsons of generals who were officials in the same dynasty as Yin Cheng, most of them were also big officials who held power in their hands.That one's family background would not humiliate Prime Minister Yin's youngest daughter, but it's a pity that the beauty has never been moved.

Taking advantage of this year's big exam, Prime Minister Yin finally agreed to his youngest daughter's proposal.She wants to throw a hydrangea ball to choose a husband-in-law, no matter who the other party is, as long as she chooses, she will not allow her father to make things difficult for him.

Prime Minister Yin loves his youngest daughter the most, so how could he embarrass her chosen husband-in-law?Immediately sent someone to prepare for it. On the day when the results of the final exam were announced, Prime Minister Yin's youngest daughter, Yin Wenjiao, threw a hydrangea ball at the Yin residence to choose her husband.

One second before, there were quite a few people gathered in front of the imperial list to point and point, and the next second they heard Prime Minister Yin's youngest daughter throwing a hydrangea ball to choose her husband, and they rushed towards Yin's mansion in a swarm.Prime Minister Yin's mansion is naturally magnificent, and there are two stone lions with the height of two people at the gate.This was bestowed by the present Holy Majesty, who personally dotted the eyes of two stone lions.

Ordinary people don't know that Prime Minister Yin rejected the emperor's reward at the beginning.He hoped to place the two stone lions outside the Golden Luan Hall, because they were treasures that were occasionally found overseas.According to the Taoist who brought back the two stone lions at that time, the two stone lions suddenly appeared on their boat at that time.

Prime Minister Yin stood on the second floor, looking at the bustling crowd downstairs.In fact, he shouldn't have appeared at the top of the city, after all, today is the day when his daughter chooses her husband.As the father-in-law, he should wait for the chosen husband-in-law to visit him.It's just that he didn't know what to do, and was worried that there would be troubles, so he came to check for himself.

Prime Minister Yin sent people to infiltrate the crowd outside. Once someone dared to make trouble intentionally, those people would immediately come forward to stop it.Of course, there is another consideration. If Hydrangea is snatched by the younger generation who is really not worthy of his daughter, people will still get rid of him.

The champion of the new subject with the title of the gold list began to parade across the street from the entrance of the examination room.Specially walk the most prosperous street of Chang'an Avenue, so that the new champion can earn a lot of attention on Chang'an Avenue.When passing through one of the streets, he was blocked by a large group of people.It is not allowed to turn back when the new champion crosses the street, so this team can only go forward and not turn back.

The leader went to check the situation and informed Chen Guangrui when he came back.In front is Prime Minister Yin's mansion. This scene is because Prime Minister Yin's youngest daughter is throwing a hydrangea ball to choose a husband.After hearing the words, Chen Guangrui ordered the people to rest where they were, and then stepped forward to check alone.It stands to reason that he should get off his horse and move forward. It's not that he is arrogant because he became the number one scholar.

Although he wholeheartedly wanted to imitate other people's fresh clothes and angry horses, he had never really ridden a horse.What's more, it is this kind of war horse of the Tang Dynasty, and it is very difficult for ordinary scholars to get on the horse.At that time, if there was no wooden pier at the bottom, Chen Guangrui would not be able to ride this first-class war horse.Letting him down without any assistance is tantamount to asking for death.

Above the Embroidery Tower, a woman in white is holding a hydrangea ball, her face blocked by a white veil.It is not difficult to see from her graceful figure that this woman must be an all-powerful beauty.Chen Guangrui just glanced at it and couldn't look away, just in time to meet the gaze cast from the embroidery tower.

The four eyes met with affection, and the woman in white holding a hydrangea threw the hydrangea.The hydrangea drew a beautiful arc in the air and just fell into Chen Guangrui's arms.Everyone followed the hydrangea and rushed to Chen Guangrui's side, but they couldn't reach the height of Chen Guangrui at all.People with a discerning eye could see the origin of the horse Chen Guangrui was sitting on. It was a first-class war horse that a wealthy gentry would not dare to raise privately, no matter how rich they were.

Yin Wen, who covered his face, looked shyly at Chen Guangrui who was downstairs. He was so handsome, and his eyes looking at her were so clear and hot.Yin Wenjiao, who had never been attracted to any man, her heartbeat accelerated to the limit at that moment.If it wasn't for the reminder from the servant girl beside her, she might really suffocate.

The maids saw Yin Wenjiao's shy expression, and a group of maids flocked downstairs.He directly invited Chen Guangrui into the mansion, and led Chen Guangrui to Prime Minister Yin in the hall.

Prime Minister Yin is an important minister in the court and the chief examiner of this exam.Although he knew that Chen Guangrui was the number one scholar in the new discipline, he didn't know that standing in front of him was the number one scholar in the imperial list written by him himself.While Prime Minister Yin was chatting with Chen Guangrui, Yin Wenjiao also hurried into the hall.

She is a very independent girl since she was a child. She is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and knows all kinds of poetry and songs.But she is also a kind and filial daughter, and she will never marry anyone without her parents' approval.Even if she really fell in love at first sight, she would consider her parents' opinions.

Just like at this time, Prime Minister Yin was observing Chen Guangrui's words and deeds, and Yin Wenjiao just sat quietly aside and did not interrupt.His father has been an official for decades, and he can tell the other party's seven or eight parts of his character just by his words and demeanor.If he can't pass this level, I'm afraid he won't really win Yin Wenjiao's heart.

Fortunately, Chen Guangrui's answer satisfied Prime Minister Yin.He could hardly find any flaws in Chen Guangrui, if there was one flaw, it would be that he was too serious about death.

Prime Minister Yin asked him which inn he stayed in when he came to Chang'an City these days.He was blunt and told Prime Minister Yin that he was sleeping on the street.He also talked about everything he encountered after leaving home, and even frankly said that no matter where he goes in the future, he will go home first to pick up his mother and go with him.

All good filial piety comes first, and the most filial piety is companionship.Prime Minister Yin approved the husband-in-law chosen by his daughter, and left the hall with a smile.At this moment, only Yin Wenjiao and Chen Guangrui were left in the hall, and Yin Wenjiao took off her veil.Then he asked Chen Guangrui a few questions, but Chen Guangrui's answer was exactly what Yin Wenjiao thought.

It can be said that Chen Guangrui is a double happiness when he falls in love at first sight and gets married.Prime Minister Yin held a wedding ceremony for him. On the day of the wedding, many rich and powerful gentry from Chang'an City came, and of course the ministers of the court and China were indispensable.Prime Minister Yin's popularity is very good, and his son-in-law is the top scholar in the new discipline, even the emperor, who was unable to attend the wedding banquet in person, sent someone to send a congratulatory gift.

After three days of marriage, Chen Guangrui went to the court to worship. After inspecting Chen Guangrui's ability to handle affairs, an imperial decree was issued immediately.Chen Guangrui, the number one scholar in the new department, was conferred the prefect of Jiangzhou, and he left Beijing for his post three days later.

Chen Guangrui and his wife stayed in the Yin Mansion for three days, and then set off to rush back to their hometown.When he left home, he was alone and poor, and walked thousands of miles on foot for three months.When he returned, he was furious in fresh clothes and accompanied by a beautiful woman.Chen Guangrui's life has been fulfilled, and he has everything he deserves.

Chen Guangrui, who returned home, was stopped when he arrived at the county town.The county officials hosted a banquet for him, and it was no longer the face that sneered at him at the beginning.Chen Guangrui, who wanted to refuse, listened to his wife's words. Official entertainment is normal, and he will not be able to return to his hometown after not giving face.

Standing in front of his thatched hut, Chen Guangrui knelt on the ground and kowtowed to his mother.His wife, Yin Wenjiao, also knelt on the ground and offered tea to her mother-in-law to say hello.The old woman burst into tears, helped her daughter-in-law and dragged her towards the house.This was a wish she had been looking forward to for many years, but she never expected it to come true all of a sudden.

The son was promising and was admitted to the top prize.My son is also very lucky to marry such a beautiful and sensible daughter-in-law.The old lady was so happy that she didn't know what to say.I got into the kitchen to cook, took out the meat for the New Year, and then went to the village to buy some vegetables.

She can endure hardships but not her son, she can live frugally but she cannot wrong her daughter-in-law.The old woman has never been to school, so she doesn't know much about it.In her opinion, everything is taken for granted. As a mother, she should love her son, and as a mother-in-law, she should love her daughter-in-law.

"Mother, please sit down and rest. I will do all the work in the future." Yin Wenjiao stopped the old woman who was about to wash the vegetables, and smiled and asked the old woman to rest.Then she squatted on the ground and started to wash the vegetables. Her hands were hot from the cold water.

Chen Guangrui came to help his wife up and let her rest on the side with his mother.From now on, he will take care of these tasks by himself, and his mother and wife are not allowed to intervene.

A well-educated woman is a good daughter-in-law, a son who knows how to love his mother is a good son, and a husband who knows how to make his wife and mother live in harmony is a good husband.Chen Guangrui has lived up to his mother's teachings these years, he has become a good young man.

After staying in his hometown for two days, Chen Guangrui decided to get up and go to Jiangzhou to take up his post.Unexpectedly, my mother got a sudden illness. Although it was not serious, she needed rest and recuperation.With her current physical condition, she couldn't bear the bumpy journey for a long time.If he didn't go to the post, he would be resisting the decree, and he was worried about his sick mother if he went to the post.

Chen Guangrui decided to let his wife Yin Wenjiao stay to take care of his mother, and when his mother recuperated, he also settled everything in Jiangzhou.At that time, he will come to pick them up again, this arrangement can make Chen Guangrui completely at ease.

But my mother didn't agree with Chen Guangrui's proposal at all, it was his first time as an official.Moreover, it is also the magistrate of a state, who is in charge of the livelihood of thousands of households.A new official must have a lot of things to do when he takes office, and he can't do without someone around him who knows what's hot and what's hot.The mother insisted on letting her daughter-in-law go to the post with her son, and went to find them after a few days of raising her at home.

In the end, Chen Guangrui agreed with his mother's decision, and asked the neighbors to take care of his mother.When he settles down in Jiangzhou, he will definitely come back to pick up his mother as soon as possible.

Leaving their hometown and renting a boat, Chen Guangrui and Yin Wenjiao finally embarked on the journey to Jiangzhou.It's just that the two of them never imagined in their dreams that this trip turned out to be a disaster.Not only did Chen Guangrui never see his mother again, even Yin Wenjiao almost never saw Chen Guangrui again.

The story of a pair of gifted man and beautiful woman, love at first sight sets a lifetime.Chen Guangrui was approved by Prime Minister Yin, and also received the blessing of his mother.But on the way to Jiangzhou, it was not smooth sailing.
