On the 16th day of the twelfth lunar month, the female family members of the Cen family went to the Emperor's Temple to burn incense. Because this day was the birthday of their old man, he often came to this temple during his lifetime. After his death, the temple specially dedicated a Buddha to him.
There is a bright lantern in front of the temple. Therefore, every year on the occasion of the old lady’s birthday or memorial day, the lady would come with her family members to offer incense.
As the only granddaughter in the family, Cen Yunchu naturally also went along.
The eldest son of the Cen family is a concubine, but their relationship has always been good, so the eldest wife and several daughters-in-law came.
There is only one female dependent in the second room, Cen Yunchu, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the third room are also following her, and there is a large group of people cheering.
Because the incense was burned on the first pillar, I came very early.
When they came out of home, no one had eaten.
The temple also knew about it and had already prepared a vegetarian meal.
Everyone had a meal in the temple and came out after paying enough for incense.
At this time, the sun has risen very high, and more people are entering the temple.
When I came out of the door, I happened to have a fight with a young man.
The young man stopped first and then followed.
Everyone here was about to get on the bus when they suddenly heard someone say: "Everyone, please stay! Please forgive me for being presumptuous. It's just because the matter is so important that I have to tell the truth."
Everyone was stunned, and when they looked back, it was the young master.
The eldest lady couldn't help but ask: "I wonder which family this young man belongs to? What's the reason for stopping us?"
The young master returned the gift and said, "My surname is Chen Mingsi Wen, and my father is Rong Jinhou."
Everyone present was stunned when they heard this and said, "It turns out he is the seventh young master of the Chen family."
Cen Yunchu listened and knew the identity of this person.
It turned out that he was Chen Sijing's younger brother, Mr. Chen Qi, whose name was never seen.
Cen Yun had met Chen Sijing at first, and he had helped Xu Chunjun and the others to rescue them from the siege.
Chen Siwen is somewhat similar to him in appearance, but his appearance is more handsome and his temperament is colder.
Hearing what the eldest lady said, Chen Siwen nodded slightly as a response. He then said: "Forgive me for being blunt, I just met the old lady of your house. I found that the old lady's steps were a little crooked and her face was gloomy. I'm afraid there is something wrong with her.
It is a sign of wind paralysis. It must not be taken lightly, and it is better to deal with it as soon as possible.”
The third wife then said: "Thank you very much, Young Master Seven, for reminding me. It's just that the day before yesterday we asked Jin Wuzhen, a famous doctor in the capital, to perform a Ping'an pulse on my old lady. At that time, he said that the old lady's body was very strong and she had nothing serious. As long as she works and rests regularly and doesn't get angry.
If you don't worry, nothing will happen."
The theory of Jin Wu Zhen mentioned by the third wife is the most famous among the doctors in the capital. Compared to Chen Siwen's suggestion, the Cen family naturally prefers Jin Wu Zhen's theory.
Chen Si, after hearing what the third wife said, was not upset, and still said very gently: "According to my judgment, the old lady's rheumatism is different from ordinary people. It should start in the legs, and then it will inevitably go up to the head. If it is timely,
Diagnosis and treatment will definitely make the symptoms of rheumatism milder than those of ordinary rheumatism, and leave no hidden dangers."
The old lady of the Cen family listened for a long time and said: "Old lady, I'm old, so I naturally stagger when I walk. It's because I didn't sleep well yesterday, so my face doesn't look good. I appreciate Mr. Chen's kindness, and I think you came here to do the same."
Those who offer incense, please come in quickly! Don’t delay."
The implication was that she didn't believe what Chen Siwen said, and then asked the maid to help her get into the car.
The whole family knew that the old lady had the toughest temper. She stood here and listened for a long time, already showing great patience.
The old lady got on the bus, and the rest of the younger generation naturally got on the bus one after another.
Cen Yunchu's carriage is at the end.
After getting in the car, Fulan and Linxi couldn't help but talk about Chen Sixen.
One said: "It is said that Mr. Chen Qi is more reserved than ordinary ladies. Why did he suddenly get involved in his own business today? It's really inexplicable!"
"I heard that he stayed in seclusion to study medical books, but after so many years, I haven't heard of him treating anyone. Why did I bump into our old lady today and actually say such a thing? It's a bit rude.
No wonder the old lady is unhappy."
"I think he probably has less than half a bucket sloshing around. How can we judge a person's illness by looking at a person's gait and complexion? Besides, isn't Jin Wuzhen's medical skills better than his?"
As he spoke, Linxi opened the car curtain and took a look outside the car. He couldn't help being startled and said, "Look, why is Mr. Chen Qi following our car?"
Fulan also raised the car curtain and looked back, and saw that Chen Siwen was indeed riding a horse, not far behind their car.
The two maids couldn't help but get angry and said: "Isn't he going to the temple to burn incense? Why did he follow us here instead? It seems that he is a drunkard who is not interested in drinking. He pretends to be shocking, but in fact it is just a dream.
He's just a profligate prodigal!"
These two maids felt that the reason why Chen Siwen stopped everyone in the Cen family and said such words and then followed them closely was because he was attracted by Cen Yunchu's beauty. They had long been accustomed to this kind of behavior. They couldn't help but feel that Chen Siwen was a
Sanctimonious hypocrite.
But Cen Yunchu didn't care and said, "Don't pay attention to him. This road doesn't belong to our family. Just let him go."
Fulan and Linxi lowered the car curtains, pretending they couldn't see them.
When everyone got off the bus at the gate of the mansion, Chen Siwen was still following behind.
The second grandmother of the Cen family saw it and whispered, "This is really outrageous."
So he called the housekeeper over and asked him to drive Chen Sikwen away so as not to attract criticism here.
When everyone entered the house, the housekeeper came over and said to Chen Sixen politely: "Master, I wonder what you do in front of our house?"
"Don't get me wrong, steward. Our young master has good intentions." Chen Siwen's entourage stepped forward and explained, "Your old lady is afraid that she is going to get sick, so you should be careful."
The housekeeper was naturally unhappy after hearing this, and said: "I have lived in the capital for forty or fifty years, and I never knew there was a miracle doctor like you. Our old lady has always had a strong body, and she asks the Golden Sage to come over every half month to diagnose her pulse. Where?
Are you about to get sick? You are celebrating the New Year, so don’t say unlucky words here. You seem to be respectable people, so I’ll give you some face, don’t be shameless! Go away quickly!”
Chen Siwen's entourage wanted to say something else, but Chen Siwen stopped him and said, "Forget it, there's no need to argue here, let's just retreat further.
"
The attendant took the horse and walked for a short distance to the other side of the street, and then stopped.
The housekeeper of the Cen Mansion looked at it and couldn't help but said angrily: "This is really a bug that comes out of eating melon seeds. It can be found in everyone. Is it possible that our family will be blamed for this?"
However, the road did not belong to their home, and Chen Siwen did not block the door of their home. Although the housekeeper was unhappy, he did not go up to argue with him.
