Chapter 46: Asking for help

"Look at me now, can I go to class?" Cheng Xu pointed to his leg and said to Da Su disappreciatively, "When you see Mr. Zhang, tell the truth, saying that I was punished by my grandmother and was not good at acting, so I can only go to the clan school class in the afternoon." Although Mr. Zhang is strict, he is not the kind of unreasonable person, if you go and ask me for leave, he will definitely agree. ”

Dasu was still a little hesitant.

Cheng Xu has already said: "If you don't go quickly-there will be classes in two quarters of an hour, and even if you go to help me ask for leave, according to the regulations of the clan studies, I will be considered absent from class." Mr. Zhang has always enforced the law impartially, and he won't care why I took a leave of absence when the time comes! ”

The regulations in the genealogy are more familiar to Da Su than Cheng Xu.

He didn't dare to delay, so he had to respond "yes" and rushed to the clan school.

Huanxi was so frightened that he trembled, and said, "Uncle, are you really not going to go to class this morning?" If my wife found out, she would definitely sweep me away......"

Cheng Xu glanced at him contemptuously and said, "If you make me unhappy, believe it or not, I'll sweep you out of the house now?" Don't wait for Madame to know! ”

"Faith, faith, faith!" Huanxi cried and said with a sad face, "I'm not afraid that Madame will know...... So where do we go now? Back to Duojia Pavilion Jasper, the girl will definitely report to Mrs. Ventilation, Mrs. knows, Mrs. Tai will know. Why don't you go to Chunzexuan? There are still guests at home who have not left, and the ancestor of the second room likes it there the most, so he is afraid that his old man will entertain guests there...... If you don't go to listen to the pine wind, no, no, the uncle of the second room often goes in and out there, if you go, the little guy who serves there will definitely sue him, and he will definitely sue Mrs. SΓΉ if he has the opportunity...... Where else can I go......"

Cheng Xu slapped him angrily and said, "What nonsense? Of course, we're going back to Duojiaxuan. When my mother heard that I didn't go to class, she would only worry about my legs, so where would she think that I didn't go to class? It doesn't matter if my grandmother knows, don't look at her old man's straight face, in fact, her heart is the softest, knowing that I didn't go to class because of leg pain, she will definitely send someone to come to see me quietly...... The most dangerous place is the safest place, and there are many more places to learn! ”

"Why don't everyone praise Uncle for being smart!" Huanxi Dogleg said, "My mother said that I followed the uncle, and this brain is better than before." ”

"Be careful of the horse's ass slapping the horse's leg." Cheng Xu laughed, and then said in a low voice, "Hey, let me ask you, if you offend a girl's family, is there any way to make her stop being angry with you?" ”

Huanxi was stunned.

He is half a year younger than Cheng Xu, because he is serving by Cheng Xu's side, which of those maids is not smiling when they see him on weekdays...... Offence...... That's when someone else offended him.

Huanxi thought about it carefully, it seemed that he really hadn't offended anyone!

Even if there is, who would dare to give him a look.

Does anyone dare to show the uncle's face?

Huanxi remembered what he overheard outside Yuru's house a few days ago.

Uncle, wouldn't you really like Miss Zhou's second cousin?

Thinking about it this way, he felt that it should be.

Miss Zhou's second cousin is so beautiful, who doesn't like it when she sees it!

He also saw the side branch Cheng Ju on the other side of the fifth room secretly hiding in the woods to peep at the second cousin of the Zhou family!

However, how to please the second cousin of the Zhou family, he really doesn't know.

The second cousin of the Zhou family is a daughter, she can't be like Xiao Liu who sweeps the floor in the front yard, she offended her, and spent five big money to buy two packs of melon seeds, and Xiao Liu rejoiced with herself again......

Thinking of this, he said tentatively: "Why don't you buy something for Miss Zhou's second cousin?" ”

This time it was Cheng Xu's turn to be stunned.

He knocked on Huanxi's head and said, "How do you know that I offended Miss Zhou Family's second cousin?" β€œ

"This, this," Huanxi couldn't say that he heard Yuru and Biru talking privately, and in a hurry, he had an idea and said, "These young ladies in the family, I thought about it, except for the second cousin of the Zhou family, you can't offend other people?" ”

Cheng Xu knew that he might have heard some rumors.

The thought flashed, and his mouth opened wide.

Even the joy was guessed, grandmother...... I must have guessed it......

But his grandmother saved him from a coma from now on.

In other words, it is forbidden for him to meet Zhou Shaojin...... What can I do?

Cheng Xu suddenly felt like he was on pins and needles.

He thought for a while, shouted "joy", and said, "Let's go to the fourth uncle!" ”

Huanxi listened and flinched, and said, "Go, go to the fourth master?" ”

"yes!" Cheng Xu muttered.

Zhou Shaojin strayed into Sanzhixuan, but it was her fourth uncle Cheng Chi who helped her out of the siege.

His own thoughts, the fourth uncle must know.

Since he was a child, he has admired his fourth uncle very much.

When others were studying hard in the cold window, he was outside to play in the mountains and rivers, visiting the Tao to find immortals; When others were struggling to write in the examination room, he was wandering and lingering in the **Chu Pavilion...... It stands to reason that in a family like them, even if the fourth uncle is not sent out of the house, he will be punished and reprimanded, but whether it is a father or a grandmother, it seems that they can't control the fourth uncle, so they can only coax him with good words. Even Cheng Xu, the ancestor of the second room, has no way to take the fourth uncle - five years ago, the fourth uncle decided to go to the scientific examination, and everyone thought this matter was very funny at that time, and Uncle Yi of the third room even ridiculed: "If Shiro can be named on the gold list, then wouldn't all of us who have studied hard for ten years have to jump to Mochou Lake!" ”

No one expected that in just three years, the fourth uncle would go from Xiucai to Renren, all the way to Chunqiu, and became the two Jinshi of the Renchen Branch in the fifteenth year of Zhide.

At that time, the eyes of the family fell to the ground.

But what is even more surprising is that the fourth uncle did not participate in the selection of the Jishi of the Hanlin Academy after winning the Jinshi, and went back to Jinling City directly after the Qionglin banquet, as if he went to take the Jinshi exam, just to block the mouths of the old ancestors of the second room and others, so that they would no longer control him.

Then, he still wanted to do whatever he wanted...... For a while, he even wore a Taoist bun and wore a Taoist robe, which made his grandmother afraid that he was going to become a monk and become a Taoist priest.

Such a character, in Cheng Xu's eyes, is like a chivalrous man who walks the world with a sword in Zhanghui's novel, happy and uninhibited, which makes him yearn for it.

If the matter between him and Zhou Shaojin can convince the fourth uncle, then the father and grandmother will ...... You can definitely get twice the result with half the effort!

Although he has had less contact with his fourth uncle since his enlightenment, he still remembers that when he was a child, his fourth uncle often took him around to play...... The fourth uncle will definitely help him!

Cheng Xu felt that his future was full of hope for a while.

He pulled his legs and went to Cheng Chi's house "Xiaoshan Conggui" located on the east side of Jiuru Lane, and said happily as he walked: "Why does the fourth uncle live in such a remote place, and what is it called 'Xiaoshan Conggui'?" There are a lot of small hills made of stones in Taihu Lake, but there is not a single osmanthus tree to be seen. Could it be that a single osmanthus tree was planted before, and then it was all cut down? But why cut it? Qin Zi'an in our ethnology is the tall and thin guy, it is said that their family planted more than 100 osmanthus trees, and they became a wealthy family in the village, which shows that this osmanthus tree is also very valuable...... Since the osmanthus trees have been cut down, why not change the name? I don't know when the name was taken? Who took the name ......"

The hill is at the junction of the long house and the second room, the northernmost part of the garden, and only separated by a wall from the back street of Jiuru Lane.

He babbled, but no one responded.

Cheng Xu turned around and saw Huanxi following him with some trepidation.

"What's wrong with you?" Cheng Xuqi said, "Look like a dead mother? ”

Huanxi muttered with a bitter face: "When I die, my mother and son can only take care of the funeral...... What am I afraid of! ”

"What do you mean by that?" Cheng Xu stopped and looked at him with frowning.

Huanxi only felt a cold neck, and said: "You don't know, last time the Wufang Wen lord Duofu helped the Wen lord to put the money in the name of the Cheng family, and then it went to the fourth master, the fourth master pressed Duofu to the ground and beat him half to death, the Wen lord not only didn't dare to say a word for Duofu, but also had to accompany the smiling face on the side, and afterwards he had to invite the fourth master to dinner......"

"What's your business? Didn't hit you again? Cheng Xu was slightly stunned and said, "What's more, the fourth uncle is in charge of the housework, this kind of person doesn't beat him to death and kills the chicken to show the monkey, do you have to wait until others report to the official office and then help Uncle Wen clean up the mess?" ”

The problem is that afterwards, he was called by the fourth master to ask, "I heard that Huanqing is your brother", and he was hung in the study...... It took almost two hours to come out.

If it weren't for the big girl Nanping next to the fourth master who reminded him, "If it weren't for the people around the uncle in this matter, the fourth master of our family wouldn't have taken care of it", he didn't know that the fourth master was warning him!

Huanxi never dared to tell Cheng Xu.

At that time, Duofu handed over a message to their personal servants in several rooms, and asked them to follow their own share and distribute it together if they have wealth. His brother, who was in charge of the carriage and horses in the outer court, celebrated and joined in his name without informing him......

What he didn't know, the fourth master knew.

In the past few years, he has been hanging like a sword above his head, and he has not done anything to break the rules.

When I met the fourth master, I don't know if the fourth master will remember the events of the year......

Huanxi's calves trembled, and he followed Cheng Xu to the small mountain Conggui Courtyard.

The place where the fourth master lives is not for everyone.

The last time I came Huanxi, I was uneasy, and when I left, I was honestly afraid, and I didn't notice what the hill was like. This time, Cheng Xu swept the formation, and he felt a little calmer in his heart, so he dared to look at the surrounding scenery.

As Uncle Cheng Xu said, there are a lot of mountains made of Taihu Lake in Guiyuan, a group of mountains in the east, a bunch of them in the west, different forms, exquisite, heavy, lightweight, simple, plus the big trees are towering, the weeds are overgrown, and the clear spring is flowing in the meantime, people who don't know still think that they have gone to the deep mountains and old forests, but they have not seen an osmanthus tree.

As soon as they stepped on the bluestone path in the courtyard, Qingfeng, the little guy beside the fourth master, appeared on the path in a cyan robe.

"Uncle!" He saluted the two of them, "Why are you here?" Please go to the flower hall for tea, and I'll go to Sister Nanping. ”

Cheng Xu stopped and said, "Isn't the fourth uncle here?" ”

Otherwise, why let Nanping come to entertain guests.

Qingfeng said with a smile: "The fourth master and the sixth master Gu went to Jiming Mountain, saying that they would only come back after tomorrow." ”

Cheng Xu was disappointed and said, "Okay, when the fourth uncle comes back, you can send someone to tell me, I want to find the fourth uncle." I'm not going in today. ”

Qingfeng smiled and responded "yes", and sent Cheng Xu and Huanxi out of the small mountain Cong Guiyuan.
