Chapter 124 Why did he go to the Hanlin Academy?
Duke Chen didn't come back until dinner. Chen Lianghui wanted to talk to him first and then announce it during dinner, but when Duke Chen came back, the old lady asked someone to arrange the meal.
Jinning came out for the first time to have a meal tonight. She had been having a small meal at the Lihuayuan before.
Chen Lianghui looked at her gratefully, knowing that she was here to boost her courage.
Although Duke Chen was a little surprised when he saw Jin Ning coming out, he didn't say anything.
Chen Jinxian felt a little uncomfortable tonight, so she didn't come out for dinner. Everyone except her was all.
Changsun and Chen Jinrui have been really low-key recently, not causing trouble or talking. They have been to visit the old lady every morning and evening, and they are accompanied by their side to cook dishes for the old lady.
When she first entered the mansion, she was her daily job.
Later, Zhen died and she became a wife. As long as the old lady was still in the mansion, she would do the job.
I made sweet and sour fish in the kitchen tonight. The old lady loves fish, which made Changsun a bitter taste.
She had to carefully pick fishbones for the old lady. The carp had a lot of thorns. She picked a piece and put it in the old lady's bowl. The old lady finished eating it in one bite and said, "Not bad."
Changsun has to continue to choose again.
This meal was just about picking on the thorns, and everyone else was about to eat it, but Changsun didn't even eat a bite of rice.
Finally, the old lady put down her chopsticks, and Changsun breathed a sigh of relief. When she picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat the food, Yuan suddenly said, "Sister-in-law, pick up a piece of ribs in front of you. It's too far away. I can't pick up it.
Changsun was extremely angry. They almost finished the meal, but she hadn't eaten a bite yet, so she was using her as a slave.
She stared at Yuan, who looked gloomy, but said innocently: "I'm sorry, sister-in-law."
Changsun slowly picked up the chopsticks, his hands trembling with anger.
Chen Jinrui looked indifferent. She would not offend Yuan, she would also rely on the old lady and Yuan to turn things around.
A plate of ribs suddenly fell heavily in front of Yuan, "Second Auntie likes to eat, so let's put it in front of you."
Changsun was stunned and looked at Jinning. He didn't expect that the one who stood up for her would be this little bitch.
Jinning is not standing up for her, she just sees that everyone is eating the same food, and Brother Hui should talk about the serious business.
These two people were intriguing, and they had some other tricks. If they had caught a conflict, Brother Hui would be unable to say it.
Therefore, she made her debut for the Changsun family.
Yuan said angrily: "You have brought it over, what else can my sister-in-law eat?"
What annoying thing!
Jinning picked up the chopsticks, picked up a few pieces into Yuan's bowl, then put the ribs back in front of Changsun, and asked Yuan again, "What else do you want to eat in Second Aunt? I'll cook for you!"
After saying that, the chopsticks were placed heavily on the table.
Yuan did not dare to offend her now, so he had to pick up chopsticks and eat them. The ribs were not what she liked to eat, but she wanted to humiliate Changsun.
However, she still looked at the old lady unwillingly, hoping that the old lady would stand up for her.
But the old lady lowered her eyes, looking like she was overeating, and she had no intention of saying anything at all, so she had to give up and eat angrily.
Seeing this, Changsun quickly picked up rice and picked up food.
Seeing that they were not making trouble, Jinning winked at Chen Lianghui and signaled that he should say it.
Chen Lianghui nodded slightly and saw the servant bringing mouthwash to the old lady. He had to wait a moment before talking until the old lady finished rinsing her mouth.
But after the old lady rinsed her mouth, she was about to get up. Chen Lianghui became anxious and stood up suddenly, "Grandmother, grandson has something to say."
The old lady looked at him in surprise, "If you have something to say, what are you doing with fuss?"
Everyone's eyes fell on Chen Lianghui's face in unison.
Chen Lianghui took a deep breath, lowered his head and did not dare to look at anyone, saying, "My grandson will report to the Hanlin Academy tomorrow."
Yuan put the bowl heavily on the table and said shrillly: "Don't you not let you go? Do you dare to disobey grandmother's words?"
Chen Lianghui was startled by Yuan's reaction and said in a daze: "Son...son wants to go."
Yuan looked at the old lady suddenly, "Mother, he doesn't even listen to your words."
The old lady glared at her and signaled her to restrain her behavior.
Then, she looked at Chen Lianghui with sharp eyes and said in a deep voice: "Push!"
It wasn't that he asked why he agreed, and there was no room for improvement, so he just said it!
Chen Lianghui originally thought that his grandmother was angry at most, but if he asked what he meant, he would agree.
After all, in front of my uncle, she would not be so tough.
This is why he chose to announce this matter during dinner.
He felt a little cold, and slowly sat down and tried to fight the final struggle: "The grandson really wants to go, and the grandson wants to try it. If it doesn't work, the grandson will come back wholeheartedly."
The old lady looked at him disappointedly and said in a cold voice: "I took you to see the store before and gave you the capital. It seems that this thought has been wasted."
Chen Lianghui lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything else.
The struggle came step by step. Jinning knew that he had made progress in his bold statement tonight.
Just as he was about to speak, Duke Chen asked strangely: "Hanlin Academy is very good, why not go?"
Chen Lianghui suddenly looked up and looked at Duke Chen with hope and gratitude.
But the old lady said coldly: "The Chen family cannot do something about the second time that the concubine's son is stronger than the legitimate son."
As soon as they said this, everyone calmed down.
Duke Chen looked at the old lady with a pale face.
The old lady also knew that this was not right, especially at this critical moment, but she could not let Chen Lianghui go. Once he went there and had a future, Qi'er, who had a legitimate relationship, had to look at the face of the big house.
She knew that after saying this, Duke Chen would not speak out again.
Sure enough, he smiled and said lightly: "I have something to do, my mother can use it slowly."
After saying that, he left the seat.
Jinning sneered in his heart, "The dignified Duke, that's the only future."
She looked at Chen Lianghui, thinking that he had to give up.
He certainly dared not say anything more when he said this.
However, Jinning did not expect that the old lady's words touched Chen Lianghui's pain. Since childhood, the grievances he suffered were all due to the illegitimate birth.
He looked at the old lady with a firm look and said word by word: "Whether grandmother opposes or agrees, Hanlin Academy, I'm going to make a decision!"
After saying that, he strode out in full view of everyone.
Jinning could hardly help but jump up and clap his hands, so bold.
Yuan was so angry that he smashed the bowl hard on the ground and said angrily: "I'm against it, I'm against it!"
The old lady was also so angry that her face turned blue, but she didn't say anything, but just reached out to let the old lady help her leave.
Changsun and Chen Jinrui did not rush to leave, but instead ate the dishes slowly, looking like they were waiting to watch the fun.
