Chapter 1674: Happy events and funeral events

The second year of Yuanding, between spring and summer.

Chen Mengzhao got married!

Emperor Yuanding sent a big gift, but he smashed a set of porcelain in the palace to vent the anger in his heart.

The union of the Hou Fu and the Xie family could not be stopped.

Chen Guanfu, as the father-in-law, never considered for Empress Chen, nor for the First Prince, and even less for him, the Emperor. He kept saying he was sharing worries for the court and the Emperor, but in reality, it was all family interests.

Emperor Yuanding was furious, but helpless.

Although his situation seemed to have improved, he still couldn't shake the powerful Secretariat, couldn't shake Xie Changling and that group of people. The Prime Minister's power still suppressed the Imperial power, pressing him until he couldn't breathe.

With nowhere to vent, he could only go to the inner palace to find fun.

He first went to the Fengzao Palace, mocked Empress Chen, and seeing Empress Chen's aggrieved and stimulated expression, he left satisfied. He went to find his beloved concubine to indulge in pleasure!

Once the Emperor left, Empress Chen put away her weak and aggrieved expression, with a look of disdain and disgust.

Watching her little daughter walk crookedly, she laughed out loud.

She didn't care about the Emperor's attitude at all.

As long as the Hou Fu didn't fall for a day, no one could threaten her position.

Chen Mengzhao got married, and Chen Guanlou sent a thick gift.

Chen Mengzhao was already a big young man, having been tempered in the Northwest for several years, becoming much more mature and steady, worthy of the status of the Hou Fu's clan son.

"Are you going back to the Northwest after the wedding?" Chen Guanlou asked him.

Chen Mengzhao shook his head and nodded. "Father said that after I have descendants, it won't be too late to go to the Northwest. Grandfather also means this. Grandfather said he can still guard for a few years."

"How much of the military power in the Northwest have you mastered?"

"Uncle Lou doesn't need to worry about me. If one day Grandfather is gone, I have the confidence to control the situation."

"If you need help, just squeak. One family doesn't speak two families' words."

"I was just waiting for Uncle Lou's words." Chen Mengzhao pulled Chen Guanlou and whispered, "Grandmother decided that after my wedding, she would separate the concubines and married illegitimate sons in the backyard. Father thinks it shouldn't be so impatient, and can slow down. But Grandmother is unwilling to slow down. Uncle Lou, can you go and persuade Grandmother?"

"You want me to persuade your Grandmother?" Chen Guanlou's eyes were strange. "Why don't you let me persuade your father?"

"Father wants face! I'm afraid he will be angry from embarrassment." Chen Mengzhao secretly edited his own father.

Chen Guanlou chuckled. "Your father already loosened his mouth before, why is he going back on his word now?"

"Not going back on his word, just saying to slow down, wait until the end of the year. At least wait until this year's harvest is settled before separating the family."

Chen Guanlou considered that today was his wedding day, not easy to take action, so he endured his temper and said: "This matter can't help you. The Marquis agreed to it, your father has no reason to stop it. Yes, he wants face. But you have to think about your Grandmother, a person in her seventies, not many days to live, what's wrong with wanting to live a few happy days? Who is in the way?"

Early or late doesn't make a difference to you, but to the old lady, that is the happy day she has been looking forward to for a long time and dreaming of. The old lady is getting older, how many years can she have? If you are really filial, you should go and persuade your father!"

Chen Mengzhao was ashamed and very ashamed.

Chen Guanlou patted him on the shoulder. "You should be glad that today is your wedding day, otherwise I would definitely let you feel the fistful of love! Teach you a lesson for your Grandmother!"

Chen Mengzhao was immediately afraid.

Uncle Lou's fistful of love, he couldn't bear it.

Goodbye!

After Chen Guanlou finished the wine banquet, he went to see the old lady.

The old lady was eating the health-preserving pills of the Yuquan Palace, and her spirit was quite good. It's just that people were obviously older.

"Old lady, worry less, children and grandchildren have their own blessings." Chen Guanlou sat on the lower left, accompanying her to talk.

The weather was getting hot, young people wished they could strip naked, but the old lady still covered her legs with a blanket.

Chen Guanlou took the opportunity to explore the old lady's breath and vitality, still okay, belonging to the normal situation of her age, and her lifespan had not yet arrived.

The old lady laughed happily. "This old body can't worry for a few days. The old immortal, old in age but not in heart, caused me so much trouble. I won't be able to clean him up in this life. You help me keep an eye on the old man and see when he breathes his last."

The old immortal in the old lady's mouth naturally refers to Marquis Pingjiang.

Marquis Pingjiang, since the time of Emperor Taixing, has been promoted for ten or twenty years, taking countless concubines and giving birth to countless little cubs, and those who sent women were all accepted. All thrown to the old lady.

The old lady was angry, which is understandable.

And, in the Northwest, there is a pile of descendants. But those don't need the old lady to worry, it is Chen Guanfu's concern.

"Old lady, live a hundred years, definitely walking in the back." Chen Guanlou said with a smile, completely without taboo about life and death.

Marquis Pingjiang has many hidden injuries, under normal circumstances, his lifespan should not be better than the old lady's.

"Borrow your auspicious words! Tomorrow when the mansion is quiet, you come again, this old body has treasures left for you."

"Then I will take it seriously. If the things are not good, I won't want them."

The old lady laughed loudly. "Rest assured, it must be a treasure."

At this time, the women came to pay their respects.

Chen Guanlou consciously got up to say goodbye.

Marquis Pingjiang made up his mind, even if he died, he would not return to the capital. Even if he died, he would die in the Northwest.

Emperor Yuanding finally realized this.

He gave up on Marquis Pingjiang and began to aim at Chen Guanfu, at the Hou Fu, at the Chen clan.

Less than a month after Chen Mengzhao's wedding, the second old man of the second branch passed away, dying with eyes wide open, leaving very unwillingly.

It is said that his eyes couldn't close, and the coffin lid couldn't be covered.

Finally, after discussion within the clan, Chen Guanlou was invited out.

He is a Ninth Rank martial artist, able to deter the living, and presumably able to deter the dead.

It was based on the principle of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

When Chen Guanlou arrived at the mourning hall, reached out his hand, forcibly made the old man close his eyes, and covered the coffin, the clan members shouted one after another, it was really spiritual.

"A Ninth Rank martial artist is indeed extraordinary, even the dead will be afraid."

"It's just that his brain is not good, and the children he gave birth to are not surnamed Chen."

"Hush! Keep your voice down! Be careful he hears you and deals with you."

Chen Guanlou swept his eyes over everyone inside and outside the mourning hall without changing his expression, lit a stick of incense, and muttered: "Old man, go well! Since you are dead, don't make trouble anymore. If rumors spread, even if you are dead, I can dig you up and whip your corpse!"

A gust of cold wind passed through the hall, and everyone shivered together.

Could it be that the old man manifested his spirit and was dissatisfied?

Chen Guanlou's face sank, a palm wind swept past, and the temperature in the mourning hall was restored. No more cold wind!

This deterrent power, even ghosts are afraid.

According to the brothers of the second branch, the funeral should be simple!

Fortunately, Chen Guanfu had foresight, knowing that the brothers of the second branch could not be relied on, and made preparations in advance, intercepting a sum of money when separating the family to serve as funeral expenses.

Taking out this funeral expense, the old man's funeral was held extremely grandly and decently.

It's just that the brothers of the second branch all had expressions of heartache; the money was wasted! ===== CHAPTER 1675 =====
