Wen Tingkai looked at him carefully and said tentatively: "Brother Chu knows me?"

Chu Yi didn't seem to hear it, stared at him and couldn't wait to ask, "Who are you Wen Tingyun?"

"Wen Tingyun?"

In his memory, there didn't seem to be this person's name in the Wen family.

After a while, Wen Tingkai shook his head and said, "It's not a secret, there is no one in the clan. ”

"Oh!"

Chu Yi was slightly lost.

"Brother Chu, Brother Chu..."Wen Tingkai shouted in a low voice.

Chu Yi woke up in shock, looked at him and said sincerely: "I just heard the three poems recited by Brother Wen, whether it is artistic conception or rhyme, they are all of the highest quality. I admire it to the extreme. ”

Wen Tingkai smiled bitterly and said: "No matter how good the poetry is, what is the use? ”

Chu Yi was puzzled: "Brother Wen is talented, if he should take the entrance examination, he will definitely be in the top three." ”

"Sanjia, my appearance, how to get into the hall of elegance?"

Chu Yi was slightly stunned, and then realized the crux of the problem.

The selection of civil officials in the Southern Tang Dynasty was harsh, especially the official examination, which required passing the four levels of "body, speech, writing, and judgment".

This "body" pays attention to appearance, and it is indeed difficult for a person like Wen Tingkai to pass this level. If this person passes the assessment and is shocked, no one will dare to take this responsibility.

Chu Yi thought that in modern history, it is not uncommon to see ugly-looking founding emperors, and the most famous is not Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.

Judging from the portraits left behind, Zhu Yuanzhang looks very ugly, mostly in the image of a narrow horse face, with improper facial features, so ugly that it doesn't look like a human face.

But no matter how ugly he was, he still couldn't hide his ambition, stood out in the battle in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, and finally founded the Ming Dynasty.

Chu Yi sincerely comforted: "As the saying goes, people can't be good-looking, and the sea can't fight. If the court doesn't choose you, that's a loss for the court. I look at Brother Wen, full of economy, why do I pity myself, hide in the mountains, and sink. Don't you live up to the extraordinary talent that God has given you? ”

Wen Tingkai was stunned and didn't wake up for a while.

Such shocking remarks are simply unheard of.

The court doesn't want him, that's a loss to the court, what arrogance and disdain this is.

"I am born to be useful, and my daughter will come back when I am gone. This is what Brother Wen wants to say and do. ”

I am born to be useful, and my daughter will come back when I am gone.

A word wakes up the dreamer.

Wen Tingkai clenched his fists and bowed, "Thank you, sir, for your teachings." Ting Kai prides himself on being talented, but he didn't realize his wishes, so he lost his heart. Today, when I heard Mr.'s words, it was like thunder in the sky, waking up the person in the dream. ”

Chu Yi smiled: "In this world, you can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep, and you can never touch a person who doesn't love you." I noticed from Brother Wen's poems that he was only slightly drunk, not pretending to be asleep. So, the one who really woke you up is not me, but you. ”

Shame, shame, self-deprecation and other emotions poured in.

He prides himself on being talented, but now he is nothing in front of Chu Yi, making him embarrassed.

At this moment, Qiu Cicada hurriedly ran over and glanced at the ugly-looking Wen Tingkai, with contempt and ridicule in his eyes.

Chu Yi saw it in his eyes, extremely unhappy, and said coldly: "What's the matter?"

Qiu Cicada shuddered, lowered her head, and said tremblingly: "Young Master, the old lady asked you to come over for dinner." ”

Chu Yi waved his hand impatiently and said, "Got it." ”

Since Chu Yi's leg disease was cured, every time Qiu Cicada saw him, his heart was full of fear. She knew that Han Qingya would not clash with Chu Yi head-on for her sake at all, let alone design to get rid of him according to her intentions.

It wasn't until Han Qingya refused to meet her several times that she realized that she was just a pawn in his hands that he could use.

Now that the chess pieces have no use value, they are naturally left behind.

At this time, she only hoped that the Wei family could find her a good family as soon as possible and leave the Chu Mansion first.

But how could Wei let her leave so easily, and still let her stay with the old lady. As the old lady was accustomed to her personal service, she did not rush the matter any longer.

Chu Yi glanced at Qiu Cicada's figure, then looked at Wen Tingkai, and said apologetically:

"Brother Wen, the subordinates don't know how to be polite, so they are abrupt. ”

Wen Tingkai was very grateful in his heart: "Sir, don't blame yourself, I have long been used to it." ”

Chu Yi suddenly hugged Wen Tingkai's shoulder, and said with a smile: "You and I are the same age, and it is too old-fashioned to call Mr. Why don't we chop off the head of the chicken and burn the yellow paper, how about worshiping the brothers?"

Wen Tingkai has been reading sages since he was a child, and he has almost never met people who are a bit gangster, even if he meets those gangsters, he will go around them, let alone worship his brothers.

But today, the gentleman he respected in his heart suddenly transformed into a street gangster.

This person is changing too fast.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Chu Yi wondered if he was in a hurry and scared people. But such a top talent, it is hard to find.

At this time, Wen Tingkai was at war with heaven and man in his heart.

In his thinking, a gentleman is a gentleman, and a student is a student.

Chu Yi had no choice but to use Confucius's "killer weapon": "The master said that if you are a threesome, you must have my teacher." Children can be teachers, brothers can be teachers, and women can be teachers. As long as you have a teacher in your heart, age, seniority, or gender don't matter, don't you say?"

Wen Tingkai was like an electric shock.

Suddenly, the knot that had plagued him for many years dissolved in this instant.

"If you are a threesome, you must have my teacher. Sir, the wise sayings are taken to heart by the students. ”

Chu Yi smiled awkwardly: "I also heard what others said. In short, it's good to have feelings for you. ”

Wen Tingkai was no longer in a dilemma, and said excitedly: "The eldest brother is above, and the younger brother is polite." ”

Chu Yi was happy, his right hand was not controlled, and he slapped it with one palm, almost slapping him down.

"Since you and I are brothers of the opposite sex, we should be blessed and enjoy hardships together. This temple is not a place to live for a long time, and then you will follow me out and enter the city. ”

"This..."Wen Tingkai was a little embarrassed. He knew that Chu Yi's family background should be good, but he seemed to be a little embarrassed to eat and drink with others like this.

What is the difference between getting something for nothing and sending someone under the fence.

Chu Yi saw the scruples in his heart, and said with a smile: "Don't hide it from the virtuous brother, I am preparing for the academy now, and I just lack a teacher Xi." If you don't dislike it, you can go to the academy to teach for the time being, and then we will think about it in the long run. ”

Wen Tingkai was overjoyed in his heart, he didn't want his eldest brother to be so keen on studying, so he opened a academy: "Listen to your eldest brother." ”

Happy, really happy. Unexpectedly, Baiyunguan and his entourage met a genius like Wen Tingyun, and they also worshipped as brothers, which was definitely bad luck.

Chu Yi explained a few more words, and hurried back to the old lady's place.

Wen Tingkai looked at his disappearing back, unconsciously straightened his waist, and his cloudy eyes instantly became clear.
