Chapter 169: The Shen Family Branch

Chen Muke left the gate of the three-bedroom courtyard and asked someone to invite two brothers to Xuanziyuan. Chen Muke knew very well that being impeached by the censor would affect his future. He walked all the way to Xuanziyuan and came up with a solution.

Chen's mother drank the sober soup and napped on the soft couch. The maid informed the third master that he had come. She was stunned for a moment. What's wrong with the third brother coming here at this time?

Chen Muke hurried in, raised his hand to signal the maids to retreat, and whispered: "Mother, something happened."

Chen's mother widened her eyes in shock. What would happen to this happy day? She thought so, so she asked. Chen Muke snorted coldly and asked, "Didn't my mother see that the food and food at the wedding banquet today are too sumptuous?"

When the eldest grandson married, Chen's mother was too excited and did not pay attention to the inappropriate food. After Chen Muke reminded her, her face suddenly changed and she cursed: "What's the idiot, what's the matter? Idiot, I know how to do this."

"Mother, don't be angry first. The eldest brother and the second brother are here later. We must discuss it carefully. We cannot be impeached by the censor because of such a thing and affect the career of the officialdom." Chen Muke rubbed his forehead and looked very distressed.

Chen's mother beat the soft couch in anger and muttered to Zhou a few more words; she regretted that she was shallow in the past and cared about the little affection that made this idiot enter the door.

After waiting for a while, Chen Muzai and Shen Mushi, both of them drank wine at noon, their eyes were red and drunk. Chen Mushi asked unhappily when he entered the door: "What big thing happened to the third brother? I'm so anxious to call me here." His son was the groom today. He took advantage of Zhou's busyness to clone him and pulled a maid next to her whom he had coveted for several months onto the bed. He was preparing to be the groom in broad daylight, but as soon as he was about to enter the alley, someone came to report that the old lady had invited her, and almost got angry to death.

"Isn't it just a big deal!" Chen's mother roared angrily.

"Mother, what big thing happened?" Chen Muzai and Shen Mushi were yelled and asked in unison.

In order to achieve his goal, Chen Muke made the matter serious, and took the case of the old lady of Cheng'en Hou's life traits during the reign of Emperor Taizong and being punished by the whole family as an example. Chen Muzai immediately changed his face. His rank was not as high as Chen Muke, and his foundation was naturally not as deep as him. I am afraid that the censors would choose soft-selling and lose his official position first.

"Mother, there are so many people coming to the wedding banquet today. This matter is not easy to cover up and will be circulated." Chen Muzai sighed.

Chen's mother frowned and looked at her three sons, pondered for a moment and asked, "Third brother, you have always had many ideas. What should you do if you think this matter is done?"

"Brother Kuan is married, and I am also happy as an uncle. I can understand my second sister-in-law's kind heart, but this matter is too much. Did the second sister-in-law... Did the second sister-in-law treat us as a family? Just by just taking care of Brother Kuan, I never thought about the situation between my elder brother and me." Chen Muke hugged his head, "Mother, no matter how you argue about this, you can't tell me. Brother and my official position are all over the end. We are sorry for my father's expectations."

Obediently and listened to the voice, Chen Muzai understood the subtle voice of Chen Muke, raised the corners of his lips and said, "Mother, we are a mother and brother. If we can't make a difference, we won't make a difference. My third brother and I will admit defeat. In the future, we three families will live a poor life by guarding our ancestral property. I hope that Brother Kuan and his brothers can be successful and shine the lintel of the Shen family."

"Don't say something discouraged, things have not reached that point yet." Chen's mother said with a cold face.

The three sons looked at Chen's mother with a gaze and asked her for a solution. Chen's mother looked at the dependent eyes of the three sons, remembering that when they were young, their hearts of protecting their calf increased greatly and they were still a little proud. Who said that they were old and their mother could not help? Look, her three sons were waiting for her to make a decision. Chen's mother pondered for a moment and said, "Split up the family, so the matter of the second house will not involve the big house and the third house."

A trace of joy flashed in Chen Muzai's eyes, but he tried his best to object, "Mother, how can this be done? You are still here, how can we brothers separate? No, we cannot separate."

"Mother, I don't agree with using this method to solve the problem. We cannot abandon our second brother's family and ignore it. Mother, let's think of other ways." Chen Muke also echoed Shen Muzai's words hypocritically.

The two brothers had long wanted to separate their families, but they showed a deep brotherly affection on their faces. Shen Mushi used all his heart and eyes to get on the fun of the grass and teasing birds. He was moved by them and burst into tears. He said, "Brother, third brother, my mother said this method well. As the saying goes, "Trees are divided into branches, and people are divided into families." Zhou did not know the importance of doing this. If you do such a thing, you can no longer implicate you. I have no character or position. Even if you are a presumptuous person, you can only listen to a few gossips at most. It's no big deal."

Chen Mushi's words hit Chen Muzai and Shen Muke's thoughts. The two hypocritically shirked a few more words. Under the insistence of Shen's mother and Shen Mushi, they were "forced to helplessly" agree to split up. In order to settle the property of Shen's Duke overnight before impeachment by the censor, they settled the property of Shen's Duke overnight. After the newcomer Gongcha to recognize his relatives tomorrow, they immediately packed up their things and moved out of the Shen's old house after looking for a house.

The Shen family's purpose was Tao's goal, but she didn't expect things to go so smoothly. In her dream, something happened to Chen Muzai next year. In order not to find out the loss of official silver by the superiors, he needed a large amount of silver to fill it. Chen's mother was reluctant to sell the Shen family's ancestral property, so she tried to force her to take out the gold bars for the box. She had already made up her mind to stay away from these people, but she had never found a suitable opportunity. This time, Zhou gave her a good opportunity. If she didn't seize it, she would waste her chances.

The next day, the Shen family was waiting for a couple of newcomers to come to worship tea and recognize their relatives in Guangyao Hall, but when they waited, no one came. Chen's mother, who was smiling, looked dark. Zhou was anxious and kept looking out. Waiting for Lin, she frowned, and Tao shook her head. The new wife was late for tea to worship on the first day, which was too ignorant of the rules.

At the beginning of the Si hour, the Shen family finally waited for a couple in red clothes. After last night's wedding night, Wei Mudan added a bit of a woman's charm. Shen Bokuan beside her raised her head and looked satisfied and proud.

"You are finally here, and you are still thinking about whether to ask someone." Lin said with a smile.

Shen Baikuan and Wei Mudan didn't hear what she meant. Most people heard it, because they thought they were late. Shen's mother stared at Lin with warning and said, "Give me a tea!"

Shen Baikuan led Wei Mudan to kneel on the brocade mat placed by the maid on the ground, took the dragon and phoenix tea bowl brought by the maid, and raised it high above his head, "Grandma, please have tea."

Chen's mother loved Shen Baikuan, and Wei Mudan was married again, so she naturally would not make things difficult for her. She took a sip of tea and said, "Good child, you must get along well and spread the branches and leaves for our Shen family." The gift she met with Wei Mudan was a pair of red gold bracelets.

Then the two of them offered tea to Chen Mushi and Zhou. Their meeting ceremony was a pair of gilded flower hairpins. Zhou looked at Wei Mudan with a smile and said, "Self-serving the eldest young master from now on." Lin and Tao both said, "I will marry a legitimate wife, not a maid, so I really can't speak.

Wei Mudan didn't understand or looked down on her, but did not respond. Instead, she asked the maid to carry the box over and give Chen Mushi and Zhou a gift. Each of them had a set of clothes and two pairs of shoes. Zhou took it over and took it carefully, let Wei Mudan kneel in front of her without calling it. Seeing her picky appearance, Chen's mother almost fainted from anger and coughed heavily, "Is there anyone who makes things difficult for her own son and daughter-in-law?"

Zhou wanted to establish his authority in front of his daughter-in-law, turned a deaf ear to Chen's cough, put down his clothes and picked up his shoes, Chen's mother spoke helplessly: "It's getting late, let them recognize their relatives."

Zhou was afraid of Chen's majesty, so he had to laugh dryly and let Wei Mudan get up. He was very dissatisfied with Chen's mother who defended Wei Mudan.

Chen's mother accompanied Madam Fang to support Wei Mudan and introduced to her: "Grandma Big Young Master, this is the master, this is the master, this is the third master, this is the third master, this is the second master, this is the third master..."

Shen Baikuan accompanied Wei Mudan to the four elders in turn and accepted the meeting gifts; Shen Bomi and his younger brothers came forward to salute the two, and accepted the meeting gifts prepared by Wei Mudan for everyone; Wei Mudan's meeting gifts were prepared by her personally, and the six younger brothers were each set of four treasures in the study, and the sisters all had a gilded peony head and face.

Chen Danwei frowned slightly. She didn't want to think too much, but the meaning seemed too obvious. Peony is the main flower, peony is the flower, and Wei Mudan means to suppress all her sister-in-law? Chen Danxia doesn't have so many thoughts. She won't wear the head and face given by others anyway.

The younger brothers and sisters were either smart, honest or timid, but they did not make things difficult for the eldest sister-in-law. They took the meeting gift from Wei Mudan and returned to their original position. After Shen Baikuan's marriage, the matter of dividing the family was put on the table.

Wei Mudan suddenly became unhappy, stared at Shen Baikuan with wide eyes, shouting: "What does your family mean? Is it dissatisfied with me when I just entered the door?"

"I don't know what's going on. My grandmother is still here. Who would have thought that my grandmother would agree to split up? Don't think too much, no one will be dissatisfied with you. I'll ask my mother what's going on later." Shen Baikuan hugged her waist and put her mouth on her face. She just got married and was fresh. Shen Baikuan was patient and had a lot of temper.

Wei Mudan pushed him away and said, "Go and ask quickly. If you really have to separate the family, we should get the second house. We must get the score. We can't afford the big house and the third house, do you know?"

"I know, I know." Although Shen Baikuan wanted to get Wei Mudan to bed and be intimate, he also knew that if he didn't understand the separation, Wei Mudan would not let him get close to him, so he had to endure it and go to the second bedroom main courtyard to find his mother first.

In the third room, Shen Bomi and his sister were also shocked when they learned about this, "Mother, why did they suddenly split up?"

"Jiu'er, you go back to your room first." Tao said with a faint smile.

"Mom, I'm not a child anymore, I want to listen." Chen Danxia got into Tao's arms and played tricks, "Tell me! Mom."

"Okay, okay, let me tell you, let me tell you." Tao's pampered his daughter and obeyed her in everything, so how could he resist her trick?
