Chapter Fifty-Three: Behind Closed Doors

Thanks to karlking for the reward and the wall, Mo Mo Da~

Xia Chen didn't care about changing some dirty clothes, so he took the letter handed by Yueniang and opened it to read.

Yueniang asked curiously on the side: "What is written in the letter?" How are they doing? ”

Xia Chen smiled happily: "The letter said that Sister Susu's uncle took good care of the two of them, and Brother Lu decided not to return to his hometown after the children's exam, regardless of whether he was in the test or not, and stayed in the small hotel to help." ”

Yueniang said: "That's good, I also think that it is better to do a small business than farming like the two of them." ”

"Well, Yueniang asked Hong'er to prepare water for me, I want to take a bath."

"Okay."

While taking a bath in Xia Chen, I thought that I could finally go away tomorrow, should I go to see Cen Shaoze first, or should I go to see Lu Ji's current situation first.

The air was particularly fresh in the morning after the rain, and when he came to the academy, Xia Chen went to the academy to listen to Mr. Wu's lectures as usual. When it was time to read and write on his own, Mr. Wu walked up to her with a stern face: "Chen'er, come with me and the study." ”

Looking at Mr. Wu's posture, many students looked at Xia Chen with a gloating expression.

Leaving the school, Mr. Wu smiled and said, "Go through the West Corner Gate, the horse is ready, try not to let the people of the academy see it." I'll say punish you for being late yesterday {endorse in the study and come back before school.} ”

Xia Chen smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wu, I will come back before school." ”

This horse is very tame, and Xia Chen can't help but think of Jie Chen. Counting the time, Han Ran should not have set off yet.

She decided to go to see Cen Shaoze first, although Lu Ji settled down. But after all, he is under the fence, and he still has to prepare for the scientific examination, so it is useless to talk about what she plans now.

Coming to Cen Mansion, Xia Chen's heart was indescribably excited, according to Mr. Wu's words, the emperor has been saying that he is sick lately, and a Hanlin scholar like Cen Shaoze is compiling a ceremony. Because they have their own division of labor, they don't have to go to Hallym Temple most of the time.

Xia Chen looked at the closed door, and suddenly felt a little worried in case Cen Shaoze happened to be not at home. She had run for nothing. It's not close from the academy here.

After knocking on the door knocker a few times, the door slowly opened a crack after a while, and a middle-aged man leaned out half of his body and looked Xia Chen up and down, and said in a not very polite tone: "Who are you looking for?" ”

Xia Chen secretly wondered. Why is this Cen Mansion like it is afraid that people will come to collect debts.

"Is Master Shum at home? Trouble spreads. Let's just say that Xia Chen visited. ”

The middle-aged man ignored her, turned back to the door, and slammed the door shut.

"Hey! Why is this servant of the Cen Mansion so rude. Xia Chen muttered angrily and funny.

After waiting for a while and no one came out, Xia Chen stepped forward and slapped the door vigorously, obviously the servant didn't talk to him.

This time the door opened much more quickly, and it opened half wide, and the middle-aged man stood at the door and said loudly: "I said, why don't you leave?" ”

Xia Chen said: "Is your Cen Mansion so hospitable? I'll let you pass it on, can you at least give me a message back? ”

The middle-aged man continued to roar: "I want to pass it on to everyone. If I broke my leg, my son-in-law would have to be annoyed to death! Let's go. My son-in-law is gone. ”

"Didn't you say it earlier when you didn't see the guests? You will pay for wasting so much of my time! I'm going to reason with your son-in-law! "Then I'm going to go in.

The middle-aged man stretched out his hand to stop her: "I haven't met you so uninteresting, what kind of official and what position are you looking for my son-in-law?" ”

Xia Chen said: "I have no official or position, you go to sue SΓΉ Cen Shaoze, just say that his brother Chen came to see him." ”

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then pushed Xia Chen on his shoulder: "You dare to call my son-in-law by his name, and you are ashamed to call me a brother, you are so bluffing?" ”

Xia Chen was furious, and he really wanted to kick the middle-aged man to his knees and rush in.

At this time, a younger man leaned in and asked, "What's the noise?" ”

The middle-aged man said: "There are more and more people who want to see our son-in-law, and this one actually claims to be the younger brother of our son-in-law." ”

"Ignore him! Close the door! ”

Xia Chen thought he could come and know something, but he didn't expect it to be even more hateful. "Hey, I said you ......" kicked the door that had been closed twice, she was almost angry, she came to see Cen Shaoze with joy, and she was actually closed.

It's bearable, I can't bear it! She retreated to the road and looked left and right, the wall of Cen Mansion was almost two times taller than her, and it was difficult to get started with the glazed tile eaves on the wall, and there was not even a brick under the wall that could be used to step on.

led the horse along the wall for a halfway around, and found that there was a willow and some branches poking out of the wall, Xia Chen showed a smile on his face, this is it.

She untied the reins of her horse, tied a leash, and threw two flicks at a thicker branch.

"Hit!" Xia Chen tugged at the rope, thinking that the fork could bear her weight, and then she pulled the horse to the wall, clicked her foot on the horse's pedal, and then stepped on the saddle, jumping up the wall with the power of the rope.

At this time, a gust of wind blew, the branches shook violently, and the eaves of the wall were not flat and slippery, Xia Chen's body lost its center of gravity.

She hurriedly wrapped the reins around her arms, and kicked her feet into the wall, but she was unsteady in her momentum, and the landing was inevitably out of par, and the reins were hung by other branches once or twice, and she was like a chain ball with a broken thread, and she did not fly at all according to the expected landing point.

Xia Chen tried his best to control his body, but he didn't fall to the ground after he had practiced, but it was almost the same - on all fours!

"No need to make such a big gift." A voice with a bit of surprise and ridicule came from overhead.

Xia Chen found out that she pressed one hand on a person's shoe. She jerked to her feet, and a man she never dreamed of standing in front of her, looking at her with a smirk on his face. Those thin lips and pointed chin - Wei Han!

"Why are you here?" Did you climb the wrong wall?

Wei Han didn't answer Xia Chen, but exaggeratedly stroked the hair that slipped in front of him: "You dare to jump on such a high wall!" Luckily, I was able to hide quickly. Otherwise, you will be seriously injured. "This is the garden of Cen Mansion, and he just happened to have something to find Cen Shaoze today, but Cen Shaoze was proofreading an article. So he went to the garden for a walk and waited. It happened that there was a clump of thin bamboo on the side of the wall, and he wanted to come over to pick a few leaves to make tea, but he didn't want to witness the whole process of Xia Chen from jumping on the wall to landing on the ground.

Xia Chen glared at him fiercely: "It's really a shame!" "If he hadn't had two blows before he would have been seriously injured, he wouldn't have said that he would help himself, which was really unloving.

Wei Han said a little aggrievedly: "There's nothing wrong with sparing your life, right?" Hey, I said you didn't have classes at the academy but came here and climbed over the wall to get in. Do you want to steal ......?"

Xia Chen swung out with a punch: "Steal your head!" I came to find Brother Cen, but the doorman didn't let me in. ”

Wei Han dodged her fist: "Don't steal my head!" Then a shock appeared on his face: "Which brother Cen are you talking about?" Cen Shaoze or Cen Shaoyou? He asked like this, but in his heart he wondered if Xia Chen was a relative of the Cen family. How could the doorman not let him in?

Xia Chen knew that Cen Shaoyou was Cen Shaoze's eldest brother, but it had nothing to do with her, she patted the dust off her hands: "I'm looking for Cen Shaoze, do you know where he is." Take me to him. ”

"Brother Chen!" A familiar and friendly voice sounded. Then Xia Chen was hugged by someone.

Xia Chen pushed him away and said with a smile: "Brother Cen, why don't you come to this set." ”

Wei Han added: "I also found out, and I will do the same next time." His words were exchanged for two pairs of white eyes.

Cen Shaoze patted Xia Chen's shoulder and smiled: "Brother Chen, my brother is thinking about you, but I don't want you to come." You seem to have grown a lot taller. ”

Xia Chen shrugged his shoulders: "I can't help but think." ”

"Well, who else is so affectionate with you?" Cen Shaoze remembered these words.

Before Xia Chen could speak, Wei Han said, "Shaoze, that Fengyue boy is similar to you. Saying that, he gave Xia Chen a bear hug. Learn Hua Manlou's tone: "Brother Chen, I want to die as a brother." ”

Xia Chen stomped on his feet: "You are looking for death." ”

Cen Shaoze's expression flashed with a hint of displeasure: "Fengyue Gongzi? Brother Chen. How did you come to know him? ”

Xia Chen said: "It's a long story. Brother Cen, why did your doorman refuse guests? I had to climb over the wall. By the way, my horse is still outside the wall, you can order someone to lead him to the carriage and stable, if he loses it, I can't explain it to Mr. Wu. ”

Cen Shaoze didn't ask any more questions, and called a servant to tell him to lead the horse and ask him to call the doorman.

The three of them came to the gazebo in the garden, where tea was boiling on the stove, and Wei Han poured the tea for them as if he were the master.

Xia Chen looked at Cen Shaoze, who was much calmer and more introverted than before, it seems that this officialdom is really exercising. And through the understanding of this period of time, Xia Chen understood why the ancients would say: The hero is a teenager. In modern times, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child is just a junior high school or a student who has just entered high school, and in ancient times, many of them began to take charge of the family business, and some were even engaged.

Adults are also very strict with their children's education, and let them exercise and do things from the time the child is sensible, so they mature early, and because of this, although she is only nine years old, many people don't think she is a hairy child.

Cen Shaoze asked, "Brother Cen when did you come to Anyang?" ”

Xia Chen thought for a moment: "It's almost half a month." ”

"Then why did you come to me?"

Xia Chen said: "As soon as I came, I was sent to the official school, and I didn't have time." I came to see you today or Mr. Wu helped me skip school. ”

Wei Han chuckled: "You can actually ask Mr. Wu to help you skip school?" It's really powerful. "He also studied under Mr. Wu, and I haven't heard of anyone who dares to skip school, let alone Mr. Wu who helped him escape.

Xia Chen glanced at him: "It's really strange that you're here, why didn't you go to the girl to drink flower wine?" ”

Wei Han smiled dryly: "Those are just entertainment, don't think that I am the same as Yan Gongzi and them." ”

"Hmph, I think you and them are the same thing!"

Cen Shaoze said: "Brother Chen, although Wei Han is fun, he is not as bad as you think. ”

Xia Chen rolled his eyelids: "Brother Cen, you don't know, I almost let him die." ”

Cen Shaoze frowned: "What's the matter?" (To be continued......)
