People are born with gaps. You can't admit it.

Chen Houwen's innate talent is much worse than Chen Houyun's. And under the cultivation of the old man, the gap between them is getting farther and wider, so that the two brothers, although they are not much older, are already two levels of people.

Therefore, Chen Houwen couldn't understand Chen Houyun's level, but used his own level to figure out Chen Houyun, which was very lamentable and ridiculous in the eyes of Second Master Chen. And because Chen Houwen is his own son, everything he does is also out of kindness, so Second Master Chen is not ready to reprimand him, but chooses to persuade him.

"Learning has reached the point of your eldest brother, and the imperial examination is no longer too difficult for him. For example, if you are a child, no matter what, you can't catch up with a running rabbit, but an adult can make some effort to catch the rabbit, and in the eyes of a sharpshooter or martial arts master, catching a rabbit is really a small thing not worth mentioning. Second Master Chen looked at Chen Houwen: "Do you understand?" ”

Sweat broke out on Chen Houwen's forehead.

He suddenly understood that his father was comparing the imperial examination to a prey rabbit, and he Chen Houwen was barely the kind of rabbit that could catch the rabbit through hard work and effort, while Chen Houji was the kind of archer who was in the same category.

The imperial examination is just a small matter for Chen Houyun.

Although it is significant, no one can ignore it.

In this way, how ridiculous his previous thoughts were, and how stupid he seemed to be! Chen Houwen blushed and said, "Father." I ......, "It's embarrassing!" Fortunately, when he "reminded" Shen Rouning, no outsiders knew!

Second Master Chen patted him on the shoulder again and said, "Chen Houyun's kind can be said to be no longer in the category of mortals. He has grown to a level comparable to the old man, whether it is me or your eldest uncle, we are already behind him, not to mention you who are younger brothers. ”

"Big brother...... Is it really that powerful? Chen Houwen's eyes were a little dazed.

He used to know that Chen Houyun was very smart and very good at reading, and he was also proud to have such a big brother...... But in his heart, he is just that Chen Houyun is the most powerful among the young people, and no one can match him...... Chen Houwen couldn't have imagined that Chen Houyun could actually compare to the old man!

A big man of the DPRK and China at the age of the old man. Which one has not experienced the experience of the world for half a lifetime. Little by little, we have today's wisdom!

And what about Chen Houyun? He has just reached the crown, and he is about to get married...... Compared to this, how could Chen Houwen not be in a trance.

"Yes. That's how good that kid is. If you are not convinced, you can't. Second Master Chen laughed heartily. The smile is full of relief and pride! His smile also corrected Chen Houwen's mentality, and his eyes lit up with excitement.

Second Master Chen saw him like this. put his mind at ease, and said casually: "So, if you and Houqi don't understand anything, just ask your eldest brother!" He was now not so much studying behind closed doors as he was idling and wondering what he was pondering! ”

At the same time, brother, Second Master Chen is very afraid that Chen Houwen will be under pressure because of Chen Houyun's excellence. And once compared, the pressure generated is enough to crush Chen Houwen! Now that he has elevated Chen Houyun to the level of being on par with the old man, Chen Houwen can only admire him and will not think about catching up!

What to chase?

Do you let a man go after the eagles in the sky? That's definitely exhausting! And it's useless to be tired!

Second Master Chen only has two sons, how can he be willing to let his eldest son do this indifferent chase? Besides, Chen Houwen's qualifications are not bad, if he studies hard step by step, he will be able to get a jinshi at most when he is thirty years old. If you can take the Jinshi exam in the year of establishment, what's the difference! Therefore, you must not compare with those who cannot be compared!

In the years to come, even if Second Mrs. Chen sometimes complains that he is useless and not as good as Chen Houyun, he is calm and not angry at all. He followed his own steps, followed Chen Houyun's advice, walked very steadily step by step, and finally had his own achievements. Not to mention that.

The next day, Chen Houwen found Shen Rouning and apologized to Shen Rouning cautiously and sincerely: "...... Cousin A-Ning, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. ”

"Why did Cousin Wen say that?" Shen Rouning was a little surprised.

In the late autumn morning light, her eyes were as clear as the lake between the mountains and forests. She was fiddling with a pot of chrysanthemums to wash the dust off the trays and leaves. The huge flower plates are rich and golden, like small suns hanging on the branches.

Such beauty.

Chen Houwen's heart suddenly beat abnormally, and he felt very flustered, his mouth was dry, and he couldn't speak.

"Cousin Wen, what's wrong with you?" Shen Rouning's confusion became even stronger.

"I, I'm fine." Chen Houwen took half a step back, and finally relieved his sudden panic a little, and said in his mouth: "Anyway, I blamed my cousin for yesterday." Well, I still have something to do, I'll go first. After that, he didn't dare to stay longer, and hurried away.

Yesterday......

It should refer to the scene where he reminded himself not to disturb Chen Houyun. It seems that Second Master Chen has talked a lot with him. Shen Rouning shook her head without thinking much, and gently sprinkled water on the flower plate again.

This variety of chrysanthemum is very easy to cultivate, the flowers are huge and colorful, and many nobles will think that it is unassuming and vulgar and difficult to put on the stage and do not like it. In the past, Shen Rouning didn't like such flowers, but this time, she liked it, warm and wanton, how enjoyable.

Shen Rouning suddenly found that Chen Houwen seemed to be vaguely avoiding her. He no longer chatted with her, even if Chen Houqi was together, and after he couldn't say a few words, he would leave in a hurry. Shen Rouning felt that he was probably embarrassed because of the misunderstanding before? However, there is nothing to worry about, and she doesn't have to deliberately chase Chen Houwen to explain that she doesn't care about that little misunderstanding.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day to go to Leiyin Temple.

Chen Houwen made an excuse and said he wouldn't go.

So, Chen Houyun led Shen Rouning, Shen Duanrong, and Chen Houqi to set off together. The carriage walked out of the east gate of the capital not far away, and under Chen Houyun's signal, the carriage walked more and more slowly, as if it was moving.

"Why are you walking so slowly?" Shen Duanrong couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, Brother Rong, why are you so stupid?" The weather was fine, after leaving the city, the field of vision was broad, Shen Rouning was very good in her heart, looked at Chen Houyun who was escorting on horseback with a smile, and replied to Shen Duanrong: "Of course we have to wait for the carriage of the Huang family's sister!"
