Chapter 287 From Farmer to Prime Minister 15
Chen Yan walked out of the house.
He walked straight towards Chen Erhai's house.
It's not even lunch time yet, and Chen Yan wants to make a quick decision.
Because of this, he soon arrived at the door of Chen Erhai's house.
Taking a closer look, Chen Yan saw that the courtyard door was indeed closed.
Bang, bang!
Chen Yan stepped forward and patted the gate of the yard directly.
At this moment, Chen Nuo was sitting in his room thinking about something when he heard someone knocking on the door.
Subconsciously, Chen Nuo thought it was Chen Erhai and Liu Shi who came back.
Just when he came to the door of the courtyard, opened the door, and saw Chen Yan standing at the door at the moment, Chen Nuo's face instantly turned cold.
This is after Chen Ming went back, the old man Chen's family still didn't give up, so let Chen Yan come over?
"Second brother, you didn't say hello when you saw me? And what kind of eyes do you have?"
Watching Chen Nuo open the courtyard door and stand in front of him, Chen Yan immediately took out the style he used to be in front of Chen Nuo.
Condescendingly, with a strong accusation.
"After Chen Ming went back, he didn't tell you, if you come to me again, I will go to the patriarch?"
A cold light flashed in Chen Nuo's eyes, he looked at Chen Yan and said something coldly.
"Okay, second brother, don't make trouble, you won't be the son of your parents if you adopt it? Hurry up and secretly give me the ginseng, the eldest brother is going to school, and the money will be used. When the eldest brother is elected in the imperial examination next year, he will Take care of you.
Chen Yan spoke impatiently, and immediately reached out and asked for ginseng.
And this is a matter of course, and incomparably greedy, in Chen Nuo's eyes, it makes his face even colder.
Just as he was about to speak, Chen Nuo saw the patriarch walking towards here.
Immediately, Chen Nuo's eyes flickered.
"Patriarch." Chen Nuo spoke directly and called out to the patriarch.
"Patriarch??" Chen Yan's heart jumped, and when he turned to look, he saw the patriarch standing behind him.
"Patriarch, I am now adopted and have nothing to do with their family, but after they knew that I got a ginseng yesterday, they kept coming over to ask for it, and asked the patriarch to support me."
Chen Nuo opened his mouth and said something, which made Chen Yan's face change greatly, and the look in his eyes also became incredible.
He didn't expect that Chen Nuo would tell the patriarch directly.
Is this really not taking him as a family??
Chen Yan's eyes were unbelievable, and his face darkened instantly.
"Second brother, do you know what you're talking about? You..."
Chen Yan was about to speak with a gloomy face.
"Shut up for me!!" But before he finished his words, he was interrupted by the patriarch with a cold face.
"Chen Nuo is now adopted. According to the rules of the clan, Chen Nuo is now Chen Erhai's biological son. It has nothing to do with your family. According to your seniority, you should call Chen Nuo uncle."5
"Also, after the adoption, you must not come to provoke again, but now, you are actually coveting ginseng.
The patriarch had a cold face and was very angry in his heart.
He originally came here to see ginseng, because the last time he saw ginseng was five or six years ago.
So I wanted to come and see it, and at the same time, I was really happy for Chen Nuo and Chen Erhai.
With this ginseng, life will be better.
But he didn't expect to hear Chen Yan directly asking for ginseng as soon as he came over.
This made the patriarch very angry.
"Patriarch, I'm not, I don't, listen to my explanation..." The patriarch's cold face was very intimidating, so Chen Yan panicked for a while, and then he wanted to speak.
"I heard it standing here just now, and you still explain shit!!" The patriarch interrupted Chen Yan simply and rudely.
Then go straight.
"Go back and tell your father, this is the last time, if you let me know again, if you dare to take advantage of Chen Nuo, who has been adopted, then don't ask for the land of your family, and take it back directly to the clan.
The patriarch's face was cold and his words were merciless.
Adoption is protected by the clan, and in order to prevent someone from adopting his son, he continues to come to take advantage of it, so the clan stipulates that if there is such a situation, the patriarch can do whatever he wants.
Right now the imperial power is not going to the countryside.
The rule of the patriarch is the king's law.
"Patriarch..."
Chen Yan was even more panicked. He did not expect that not only did he not ask for ginseng, but he also received a severe warning from the patriarch.
Land repossession??
How is that going to work!!
He enjoys playing in the town, but he points to the twenty acres of land at home.
"Have you heard what I said?" The patriarch looked at Chen Yan with a cold face.
"Listen...I heard." Chen Yan nodded with an ugly face.
He knew that ginseng was really not going to come.
That is ginseng that can be sold for twenty-five taels!!
But compared with the land at home, it is obviously not comparable.
"When you hear it, go back and tell your father, remember my words, and next time, don't ask for the land in your family."
After the patriarch finished speaking, he didn't want to look at Chen Yan again, he took Chen Nuo's hand and walked into the yard.
"If they dare to come to you again in the future and want to take advantage, you can tell me.
"Good. 35
Chen Nuo nodded directly, followed by the two of them as they approached the courtyard.
Only Chen Yan with a gloomy expression remained.
"What did you say? The patriarch saw that you went to the second son to ask for ginseng? And he also said that if our family dares to find Chen Nuo again in the future, we will take back our family's land??"
After listening to Chen Yan's words after returning, the old man Chen suddenly looked ugly.
On the side, Chen's face was also ugly.
"This second child, I really misunderstood him, and actually complained to the patriarch, he really forgot who is his biological father and mother!!
Chen's expression was indignant, accompanied by an ugly face.
"The second child is a white-eyed wolf, but I thought he was the most filial and sensible before, but I was so blind to think so!!
The old man Chen sullenly said something.
The couple are very angry right now.
Because in their hearts, Chen Nuo has always been regarded as the most obedient son, who listens to everything they say.
but now……
"Father and mother, can't we really get this ginseng?" The third child, Chen Ming, asked anxiously.
If he didn't have this ginseng, wouldn't he have to continue working in the fields??
"Nonsense! Of course I can't get it. Didn't you hear what your elder brother said? The patriarch didn't joke with our family. If our family really finds Chen Nuo again, the land will really be taken back."
The old man Chen sullenly scolded Chen Ming mercilessly.
Because he was very upset, he didn't care that Chen Ming was his usual favorite young son.
"Father, these lands are all hard-earned by our ancestors, why should the patriarch take it back if he wants to take it back?
Chen Ming asked a little unwillingly.
But as soon as these words were said, the expressions of Old Man Chen and Mrs. Chen changed.
"Third, what nonsense are you talking about!! 99
"Shut up daddy!!
Old Man Chen and Mrs. Chen changed their expressions and reprimanded directly.
Seeing this in Chen Ming's eyes made him startled.
Because the old man Chen and the Chen family have never spoken to him like this.
"Third, you remember, in our village, the patriarch is the biggest rule, you just said this at home, if you dare to go out and say it, I will break your leg!!
The old man Chen spoke sternly, and although the Chen family beside him felt sorry for Chen Ming, he did not speak.
Because this is a very serious thing.
"I... I understand." Chen Mingnuo said with a pinch.
Seeing this, Old Man Chen and Mrs. Chen were relieved.
Then, Old Man Chen looked at his eldest son, Chen Yan.
"Don't think about this ginseng, we really want to make the patriarch angry, our land really needs to be taken back, but it's okay, we don't want this ginseng, our family still has money and land."9
The old man Chen opened his mouth, but his eyes were full of unwillingness as he spoke.
Although you can live without ginseng.
But obviously with ginseng, the living standard will be higher.
"However, our patriarch is too partial to Chen Nuo and Chen Erhai, and after you succeed in the imperial examination next year, you must take care of this patriarch and see if he dares to be partial.
The old man Chen lowered his voice with dissatisfaction.
"Yes, as long as my son is admitted to Juren, the patriarch has to be respectful to our family."
Chen shi was on the side and said directly.
"Don't worry, Mom and Dad, I will definitely be able to pass the exam next year." Chen Yan nodded without thinking.
It's just that the old man Chen and the Chen family didn't find out. When Chen Yan said this, he was obviously a little guilty.
After all, Chen Yan knew that his academic performance was the last in the school all the year round.
Not to mention judging people, even Tong Sheng could not be admitted.
But there is no need to say this.
The big deal is to wait until next year, and say that the year after that can be admitted.
Anyway, there is land at home.
Chen Yan thought about it in his heart, and his eyes were a little proud.
"Okay, it's still my son who has the ability, hehe, I'll see if the patriarch can be biased next year, and the second child is a bastard. He forgot about our family as soon as he adopted it. When you take the exam next year, the second child will definitely be Regret to die!!99
The old man Chen snorted coldly, and he had already started to imagine the death of the patriarch and Chen Nuo that they regretted together.
"..Yes, let the second child regret to die! I originally thought that the second child is your younger brother after all, even if you adopt it, that's the same, I still want to let you help, now look at it, help him to regret it go.""
Chen Shi also said something next to him.
As for the third child, Chen Ming, he did not speak, because he was immersed in the sorrow that he would continue to work in the fields.
Why is this different from what he thought?
Blame Chen Nuo!!
I should have sent the ginseng directly!!
Thinking of this, Chen Ming is full of resentment towards Chen Nuo!!
"Father and mother, since this ginseng can't come, let the third brother hurry to work in the field, there is still some time, don't delay the farm work in the field. 35
Chen Yan suddenly spoke, causing Chen Ming's complexion to change suddenly.
"Well, you're right, the third child, you go to work in the field first, don't worry, you will be relieved when your eldest brother succeeds in the imperial examination next year.
The old man Chen didn't think much about it and just said a word.
"I see." Chen Ming lowered his head and gritted his teeth.
But he could only pick up his hoe and prepare to work in the field.
As soon as he walked out of the courtyard door, the hot sun above his head shone on his body, making Chen Ming's legs a little immobile.
Noon.
Chen Erhai and Liu Shi, who had gone to the fields to do farm work, came back, and when they saw the patriarch at home, they hurried over to greet them.
"Brother, why are you here?"
"Yes, brother."
Chen Erhai and Liu looked at the patriarch and asked a question curiously.
Chen Erhai's father and the patriarch's father are cousins.
In Chen Erhai's generation, the relationship is still very close.
Still cousins.
This is also the reason why the patriarch is so towards Chen Erhai and Chen Nuo.
The patriarch clearly remembered that when his father died, he still grabbed his hand and told him to take good care of this cousin.
"It's not that I heard that you picked a ginseng yesterday, and I came here to see how rare it is.
After the patriarch smiled (of Wang Zhao's), he spoke.
"Okay, I'll go get it now." After nodding, Mrs Liu approached the room.
After a while, Mrs. Liu took out the ginseng.
"This product is really good, I feel like it can sell for more than twenty-five taels of silver.
The patriarch looked at the ginseng and sighed.
"Okay, don't say it, Xiaonuo brought luck with him after he adopted it. Such good ginseng is rare, and you don't have to worry about your family's life in the future."
As the patriarch spoke, he glanced at Chen Nuo with admiration and distress in his eyes.
What a good boy.
The eccentric things of the old man Chen's family.
For the sake of the eldest son who is studying, he ruined the second son so much.
There was a cold light in the patriarch's eyes. He regarded people very seriously. As for Chen Yan, the eldest son of Chen Laohan, it would be hell if he could enter the imperial examination.
The patriarch was talking to Chen Erhai, but he didn't mention the matter that the old man Chen's family came to look for during the whole process.
This was proposed by Chen Nuo, who was afraid that Chen Erhai would be worried.
The patriarch also thinks it makes sense.
Anyway, if he was there, he would give the old man Chen's family a hundred courage, and they wouldn't dare to come over to find him again.
Do you really think his patriarch is a decoration??
Although he does not oppress the clan, but if the clan is disobedient, he will not show mercy.
The patriarch left after lunch.
After Chen Erhai and Liu Shi rested for a while after eating, they continued to go down to the ground.
However, because of the confidence brought by ginseng, the two of them will rest for a while from time to time, but they are not tired.
One day passed quickly.
Early the next morning, Chen Erhai did not go to work in the field anymore, but prepared to take Chen Nuo to town.
On the one hand, he sold ginseng for silver, and on the other hand, he wanted to take Chen Nuo to see the school in the town.
