The Red Mansion's Doting Wife Maniac

Chen Yunxian's chess skills have been praised by the national player Xu Chengye, and he even wanted to take him as an apprentice, but Chen Yunxian declined.

Even so, Chen Yunxian's chess skills are also top-notch among his peers, and even the older generation, only a national player can say that he can definitely beat him.

Chen Yunxian's grandfather, Chen Puhe, loved playing chess the most. He taught Chen Yunxian chess at the beginning, but after Chen Yunxian learned it, Chen Yunxian's grandfather never beat him again.

Ever since Chen Yunjian said that he wanted to learn how to play chess, Chen Yunxian's interest in playing chess has increased again. After finishing the official duties of the government office every day, he will rush home as soon as possible, set up the chessboard and wait for his younger brother to play chess with him.

Chen Yunjue is really not good at chess, no matter how Chen Yunxian teaches him, he only understands the surface.

After studying for a month, Chen Yunxian was no different.

"Yuan, everyone has their own strengths, maybe your strengths are not in chess, how about I teach you how to play the piano?"

Chen Yunxian couldn't bear it when he saw the disheveled Chen Yunzhun after losing more than ten rounds in a row.

Chen Yunjue: "..."

It's not like I can't afford to lose without taking care of my self-esteem like this.

After confirming that he was a stinky chess player and would never learn how to play chess, Chen Yunjuan no longer struggled with learning how to play chess.

"I won't learn anymore." Chen Yunjue finally resigned to his fate.

Chen Yunxian also heaved a sigh of relief, he had never expected to torture his younger brother for a month.

He learned to play chess at the beginning, but after half a month of learning, he can master it.

"Does Yunyu want to learn the piano? Although I am the best at playing the flute, my piano skills are not bad." Chen Yunxian said.

Chen Yun excused, "I don't want to learn the piano, can my elder brother play the flute?"

"The flute is similar to the flute, and I know it too. Do you want to learn how to play the flute?" Chen Yunxian was a little surprised.

Chen Yun borrowed, "Yes."

The sound of the flute is round and soft, quiet and elegant, and it can also be played with the qin.

Dizi already had his elder brother Zhuyu in front of him. Although Chen Yunjuan was not afraid of being compared with his elder brother, he knew that his elder brother didn't like others, so he didn't think he was unworthy, but he was afraid that he would be pressured.

The same is true for him learning Xiao, Xiao and flute are actually the same kind of musical instrument.

Chen Yunxian asked Qin Yan to go to the warehouse to get two flutes, one for Chen Yun to borrow, and one for himself to lend to Chen Yun as a demonstration.

It is probably because Chen Yun has a bit of musical talent, he learned the xiao very quickly, he could master every single point, and within half a month, he was able to play a complete piece of music by himself.

Chen Yun had just learned a little bit, and entered the twelfth lunar month, and when Baihe Academy was about to close, Chen Yun temporarily shelved his plan to learn Xiao in order to prepare for the academy's year-end exam.

After the exams are over on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, the academy officially closes.

Chen Yun also had an extra item in his daily itinerary to learn the flute from his elder brother.

On the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Chen Yunxian's eldest son, Chen Yingchao, turned one year old. There was a big feast in the mansion, and Zhou etiquette was also attached great importance to.

The eldest nephew was very upbeat, and grabbed the seal in his hand during the Zhou Catch Ceremony.

There was a lot of congratulations around, because grabbing the seal meant that he would become an official in the future.

Of course, this so-called moral is just a blessing.

Chen Yunxian was quite satisfied with what his son caught.

Looking ahead, it is another New Year's Eve. Compared with last year, this year's New Year's Eve is obviously much more stable.

Turning over the new year, it is to open an ancestral hall to worship the ancestors. Chen Yunjuan already has experience, and nothing went wrong.

Then they went to the relatives to pay New Year's greetings, and the first one to go was of course the grandparents' house.

Last year, Chen Yunjuan's mother intentionally took him to the Lin Mansion to pay New Year's greetings to his cousin. However, Chen Yunjuan had to go back to his hometown to take the exam, so he went early and didn't have time. When he came back, the Dragon Boat Festival was over.

This time it was added.

"I haven't seen my virtuous nephew for a long time, and I've grown a lot taller." Although it was a New Year's greeting, but Chen Yun was already twelve this year, so he had to avoid this inner courtyard, so it was Lin Ruhai who saw him.

Chen Yun said with a smile, "Uncle Lin is also getting younger and younger."

That body-cultivating jade pendant is really miraculous.

Lin Ruhai laughed loudly, "Nephew's mouth seems to have been smeared with honey."

Chen Yun excused, "This junior is not lying."

"I heard that you passed the county examination and the government examination last year, and won the first place. When do you plan to take the college examination and come back as a scholar?" Lin Ruhai liked this young but humble child very much, Can't wait to be his own son.

Chen Yun could also feel Lin Ruhai's love, he smiled and said, "Brother asked me to study for two more years before taking the exam."

At his current level, it is actually not difficult to be a scholar, the hard thing is to be the first in the exam.

Chen Yunxian wanted his younger brother to copy his way. If he couldn't do it, he could get five yuan if he didn't get six yuan in the exam.

In short, he can't be too bad.

Chen Yun still remembers what his brother said.

It is said that there are many disadvantages in the imperial examination. Even if you are the number one scholar in the exam, you can only say that you can read books, not that you can be an official. Two to three hundred Jinshi are selected every three years.

But less than one tenth of them are able to be officials. Most of them spend their days in the Hanlin Academy, or they are sent to a county magistrate to be the "Emperor of Earth" in a small county town.

Chen Yunxian hoped that his younger brother would be serious about being an official rather than a scholar. He could read these books and understand the meaning, that's all.You don't need to be a canon, just be yourself.

As for the imperial examination, Tongsheng Examination completely tests your mastery of the Four Books and Five Classics. As long as your memory is good enough, there is no big problem if you pass the exam.

The rural examination, general examination and palace examination are different.

Chen Yunxian clearly told his younger brother that he would help bet on the questions, so there is no need to feel that he is cheating, because there are many people who bet on the questions every year, and it all depends on whether they can win the bet.

Since getting his brother's guarantee, Chen Yunju didn't feel too much pressure on Daiyu's special task.

He vaguely realized that he was not as ordinary as he thought.

Lin Ruhai called Chen Yun into the study room, took the exam, and pondered, "Nephew's current level, it's not a problem to be a scholar. Why does your elder brother want you to study for two more years?"

Chen Yun borrowed, "That's what I mean too."

He didn't intend to explain the reason to Lin Ruhai, as long as he and his brother knew about some things.

Lin Ruhai is also an old man, so of course it could be seen that Chen Yun didn't want to talk about it, so he was sensible and didn't ask any more questions.

After returning from Lin's house, Chen Yunjue's daily routine did not change much.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Baihe Academy started, and Chen Yun was admitted to Class A without any suspense in the entrance examination.

Apart from going to and from school every day, Chen Yuntzu's life consisted of waking up in the morning to practice gymnastics, learning riding and archery from Uncle Qin after school, playing the flute from his elder brother, and coping with his endless exam questions.

Looking forward to the second day of February, last year Chen Yunzhu's birthday was on the way to the exam, but this year he was at home.

On the contrary, he received a lot of congratulatory gifts. Although it was just an ordinary birthday, Chen Yunjue still felt the care of his family.

Chen Yunxian's birthday gift to his younger brother was a white jade + hole flute, the quality of the jade was very good, and he might not be able to get one without 2000 taels of silver. Among all the birthday gifts, Chen Yunxian's was the most precious.

That night, Chen Yun was dragged to Daiyu's room by the system.

Lin Daiyu also prepared a birthday present for him. It was a robe she made herself, with bamboo embroidered on it, and the material was also of high quality.

In fact, a robe is not worth much, but what is rare is the willingness to do it yourself.

"I like it very much." Chen Yun touched his robe, smiled and rolled his eyes, "Brother didn't hurt you for nothing."

Daiyu glared at him, "Stop making trouble."

Chen Yun held the clothes and sat opposite Daiyu, "You have prepared such a birthday gift for me so carefully, why don't you ask me to prepare something for you?"

Compared with Daiyu's intentions, what to buy for Daiyu seems a bit vulgar.

"You are good at studying. For me, it is the best birthday present." Daiyu said pointedly.

Chen Yun blinked and understood that Daiyu was implying that special mission.

He smiled and said, "This can't be used to offset your birthday gift, I'll think about it when I go back."

Daiyu looked at him with a smile, but did not refuse.

Because it was night and the light was not very good, Chen Yunjuan hadn't noticed Daiyu's complexion before, but now that he looked carefully, he could see something was wrong.

"Why is your face so tired? But for my birthday gift?" Chen Yun frowned.

Daiyu shook her head, "It's just a piece of clothing, so I won't be tired. My mother is about to give birth, and now I'm in charge of all the big and small affairs of the house. There are so many things going on, so it's hard to avoid."

He said with a sigh, "If I hadn't taken over the management myself, I would have never known how difficult it is for my mother to be housekeeper. I have only taken over for a month or two, and I am already devastated."

After hearing the words, Chen Yun counted the days, and it seemed that Tang Auntie's due date was in the middle of this month.

He can't help with this kind of thing, "Thank you for your hard work."

With a flash of inspiration, he took out the Lingzhu from his bosom, poured a glass of water for Daiyu, and put the Lingzhu in, "Spiritual water can not only nourish the body, but also relieve fatigue, I'll make you a glass for a while. "

When Daiyu heard this, her heart warmed up, "I almost forgot about this, it's hard for you to remember."

"Last time, the system rewarded me with perfect cooking skills. I don't need to practice. My current cooking skills are no worse than those of the royal chefs in the palace. Usually when I cook, I will convert ordinary water into spiritual water Cook it again, it will taste better than usual..."

Speaking of a meal here, "Do you want to eat? If you want to eat, I will send some pastries back."

Daiyu was slightly taken aback, "This..."

"Don't worry, I'll send it in the name of my mother, say it's for my aunt, and you can eat some, too. The pastry made with this spirit water is harmless to your body." Chen Yun excused.

Daiyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "How can the pastry made by Lingshui be harmful to the body?"

"Then I'll finish it later, and someone will deliver it." Chen Yun said with a smile.

Seeing that Chen Yun was very interested, Dai Yu didn't refuse.

She was also really curious about the effect of Chen Yun's culinary proficiency.

Because it was already very late, Chen Yun didn't stay long, and was sent back by the system. Because the dress was in his hand, Chen Yun also took it back.

Daiyu looked at the empty opposite and blinked.

Sure enough, the clothes were taken away.

"System, can you send me to Brother Yunyu next time? I'm ashamed to always let him come to my place and run around." Daiyu whispered to the system.

system:……

[After receiving the wishes of the host, the meeting rules are changed to one person once. 】

Daiyu was a little dazed, "One time per person?"

[That is, this time Mr. Chen will come over, and the next time, the host will go over.Cycle, reciprocate. 】

Daiyu blinked, "Then, can you send me there on my birthday next time?"

Although Daiyu pushed her forward again and again, the system... still agreed.

【Can. 】

Daiyu smiled and rolled her eyes, thinking about what Chen Yun will look like next time she sees her in her room.

The more she thought about it, the more interesting she felt, and the more she looked forward to it.
