Chapter 184: Secret Conversation in the Study (1)
Qin Huai said: "Senior Brother Chen, please go and see how the tea is prepared." ”
"There is Senior Brother Lao Qin. Chen Jingzhi arched his hand towards Qin Huai, and then led Dong Ruyi in.
After Dong Ruyi crossed the threshold of the study, Chen Jingzhi let go of Dong Ruyi's little hand, he took a deep breath, and walked straight inside.
Chen Jingzhi's mood is quite heavy at the moment, he not only has to make decisions for Sister Ru today, but also to protect his father's reputation.
Dong Ruyi, who entered the door, did not follow directly, she turned her head sideways, looked at Qin Huai who was about to close the door and smiled slightly, then stood up straight and bowed.
"Dong Ru has discussed Uncle Qin, Uncle An. Her voice was quiet, and she turned and went into the inner hall of the study.
Qin Huai's hand closed the door for a moment, and when he saw that someone had already entered, he directly closed the door of the study.
He was about to turn around and leave, when he suddenly froze in place and muttered, "Dong Ruyi... Dong Ruyi..."
Then his eyes widened, he turned his head to look at the study door that had just been closed, and exclaimed: "He turned out to be the famous female talent Dong Ruyi!"
In the study, Chen Jingzhi looked at his father, who was full of gray hair and lowered his head to sort out the letters, and bowed, "Father has worked hard all the way, and my son wants to share his father's worries." ”
Chen Shuo stopped what he was doing, looked up at Chen Jingzhi, then put down the letter, picked up the pen, and wrote something.
"Sit down, come before you are quiet, what is the matter?"
Chen Jingzhi didn't sit down, he bowed his head and said, "My son took it upon himself to bring Sister Ru over." ”
Dong Ruyi was standing at the moon gate in the study at this moment, waiting for the summons of the people in the house.
The pen in Chen Shuo's hand paused, and the ink was suddenly rendered on the rice paper.
Chen Shuo said in his heart: "It's fast enough, but it's too fast." ”
He put down the pen in his hand and said to the outside: "Since everyone is here, why are you hiding?"
Dong Ruyi didn't get angry when she heard Chen Shuo's words, she walked out of the moon gate generously.
She was still dressed in men's clothes, striding to the middle, bent her knees successively, knelt on the ground, and arched her hand: "Great-granddaughter Dong Ruyi kowtowed to her great-grandfather, and I wish my great-grandfather good health." She said with a knock.
Chen Shuo looked at Dong Ruyi's unmistakable meeting gift, he didn't let her get up immediately, and only said after a while, "Get up." ”
Dong Ruyi's body didn't move for a moment, she kept kowtowing, and when she heard Chen Shuo ask her to get up, she slowly got up.
She walked to Chen Jingzhi's side, took half a step back, and then looked at Chen Shuo, the whole process was neither humble nor arrogant.
Chen Shuo looked at Dong Ruyi like this, and was very satisfied, thinking in his heart, "It seems that my son has put a lot of effort into him, and this apprentice is really good at discipline." ”
From the moment Dong Ruyi entered the door, there was no trace of mistake or timidity. At this moment, Chen Shuo has completely ignored Dong Ruyi's gender.
Chen Shuo, Chen Jingzhi, Dong Ruyi, and the three of them looked at each other like this, and no one spoke first.
Dong Ruyi laughed in her heart, this great-grandfather was waiting for her to be breathless, but she was the least anxious person here.
Seeing that there are still five days to be released, she can't wait to stand on the list for five days, and see who has the ability to win her first place when the time comes.
As time passed, Chen Jingzhi's forehead sweated, and he said in his heart: "It's not a way to stand like this, it's just to persuade my father, how can he speak?"
He thought about Chen Shuo's temper, and the sweat on his forehead became more, he didn't want to anger his father on the first day he came home in the thirteenth year.
And Chen Shuo at this moment is not much better, although he is sitting, but he looks at the room that is gradually darkening, and his heart is also starting to be a little anxious, his letter has not been written yet, and it has not been sent out.
Just like Qin Huai thought, at first, Chen Shuo just thought that if Dong Ruyi won the first place, then the first and second places could be reversed, after all, the top three articles would not be too different.
What's more, he still has Dong Ruyi's handwriting in his hand, whether it is sealing his name or transcribing the test papers, he can do tricks.
Be careful to make the Wannian ship, so he also hurried to prevent Dong Ruyi from entering the examination room.
Although he didn't catch up, he was also relieved with Wei Zhongxian's arrangement.
Sui Cheng thought that when he returned to Chen's house, there was a secret letter like that on the table, "There is no test paper with Dong Ruyi's handwriting in all the test papers in Jiangnan." ”
This really caught him off guard, and it looked like it was less than five days before the release of the list.
In the course of his conversation with Qin Huai just now, Chen Shuo had already come up with three plans, but they hadn't been written yet.
The first plan is to copy the top five test papers, and Chen Shuo will personally read the papers, and the articles written at Dong Ruyi's age must be very different from the articles written by the same batch of judges, and in the end, as long as Dong Ruyi is not the first name.
It's just that this plan is very time-consuming, and it takes time to transcribe and mark the papers.
So he made the second plan, he had already arranged for the Huo family to pick up Dong Ruyi tomorrow, as long as Dong Ruyi arrived, he would move with emotion and reason, and tell Dong Ruyi what to do and what not to do. Then let her write the article of the township test in the handwriting of the township test, find Dong Ruyi's test paper, and then make further plans.
If Dong Ruyi is unwilling to write the essay on the test paper, and the first plan is too late, then the third plan can only be used.
Plan three, just like Qin Huai said, make a decision.
Chen Shuo could only use the privilege in his hand to change the top five test papers, but in this way, the impact was quite great. In case of the East Window incident, he and Wei Zhongxian will both be in great trouble.
It's just that compared with the people of Limin, he has always thought that he is insignificant.
The plan that had been thought of was broken by Dong Ruyi's door-to-door visit.
Chen Shuo also discovered at this moment that it seemed that the child in front of him liked to play cards out of common sense.
Dong Ruyi was already standing in front of him at this moment, and Chen Shuo couldn't help but think about it too much.
The main reason is how Dong Ruyi knew that she was back? Did she come to listen to the rumors, or did she come here for something? Or did she already know that she had interfered in the imperial examination this time?
Obviously, this can't be notified by the Chen family when they go to Dong's house, they have been together just now, and even if they were notified, this time is not enough.
If not, then is she standing here at the moment, is it the meaning of this four-year-old child, or the meaning of the master behind her?
Obviously, at this moment, Chen Shuo no longer believes that all this is designed and controlled by Dong Ruyi, he thinks that there is someone behind Dong Ruyi, so what is the purpose of that person?
