I kindly recommend it as a collection

....................

"Childe, the adults and the ladies are gone." was not selected among the accompanying maids, Qiu'er also stayed in the mansion, watched the Chu family and his party gradually move away, and hurriedly reported to Chu Zhi to know.

"Got it." Chu Zhen said noncommittally, without any expression on his face.

Qiu'er just wanted to tell Chu Zhen that Chu Luo seemed to be very angry when he saw him off just now, but seeing Chu Qian's attitude, he didn't say anything more, sighed softly in his heart, and his pretty and cute little face swept up with sorrow, and he comforted him softly, and then retired, although the master's family went out to visit relatives, but the servants and maids in the house could not be idle, and there were still many things to do during the Dragon Boat Festival.

After sitting for a while, Chu Zhen only felt a burst of irritability in his chest, remembering that he had to pass a level at the end of the month before he could return to Baique Academy, and easily went to the book "The Mean" from the bookcase, turned a few pages, read it carefully, and after memorizing a few sentences of scripture and meaning, the turmoil in his heart was even worse, and it was difficult to concentrate.

The words crossed in his eyes, and he didn't leave an impression in his mind at all, knowing that he was not in a state at all now, Chu Zhi reluctantly closed the book in his hand, and saw the neatly placed pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the bookcase, so he simply changed his mind, put the book in his hand back to its original place, spread the paper and grind the ink, lifted the pen and lightly touched the ink, condensed his emotions, and found that he couldn't calm down, the tip of the pen had been pointed on the paper, and Chu Zhi couldn't scruple so much.

Wrote more than a dozen static words, the paper was stained with ink, and he couldn't find a blank space, Chu Zhi put down the brush and seriously appreciated his results, well, a line of cursive writing, although he understood what he wrote, but carefully looked at it one stroke at a time, Chu Zhileng couldn't recognize it, if He Shi saw this twilight, he would definitely not believe his eyes, and he would not believe that Chu had the potential to become a calligrapher.

Looking at his work for a moment, there was a feeling of annoyance and anger, regardless of the fact that the ink had not dried, Chu Zhi picked up the paper, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it to the bottom of the garbage basket, the stuffiness in his chest disappeared a little, he sat back in the chair angrily, and thought for a while, Chu Zhi understood why he was so angry, in the end, it was the previous memory that was at fault.

found the root cause, the anger in Chu Qian's heart gradually subsided, and carefully recalled the mood just now, even if it was irritable and angry, this was obviously an infinite grievance in the heart of a child who was not favored by his parents.

Chu Zhi smiled freely, and analyzed with interest the status of "himself" in the Chu Mansion, Chu Luo had four sons, the eldest son Chu Jian was eighteen years old, although he was born to a concubine, but he was admitted to Xiucai as early as a year ago, and he was gentle and respectful of his elders since he was a child, and he hoped to be lifted in this year's township examination, and he was deeply valued by Chu Luo.

The third son, Chu Jue, his mother is Chu Luo's wife Wang, his son-in-law is Chu Luo's rightful heir, and in the future, 100% of the Chu family's family business will fall to him, and he can also rely on Chu Luo's grace to obtain an official and a half-position from the imperial court, besides, Chu Jue has been smart and clever since he was a child, and his homework and knowledge are no less than Chu Jian, and he knows how to be motivated, how can he not be loved by Chu Luo.

The fourth son Chu Jue, also the son of the concubine, is less than four years old this year, he looks like a tiger, clever and cute, but since ancient times, human nature has the habit of favoring young sons, if Chu Luo treats the eldest son Chu Jian and the third son Chu Jue with pampering to describe it, then the fourth son Chu Jue must use doting to express his feelings.

As for "myself", he is not a concubine, but he is not a concubine, he has no relationship with the eldest son, and he is not a young son, although he is the second son of the Chu family, he is just in a position that is not embarrassing or embarrassing, I don't know when it started, his father Chu Luo's care seems to have been exhausted on the other three sons, leaving "himself" with only endless majesty.

Exhaled heavily, pouring out the boredom in his chest, Chu Zhi felt that he should go out and watch how the ancient people celebrated the Dragon Boat Festival, and at the same time, it was better to change his mood, otherwise he would be depressed to death if he stayed in the room, as for Chu Luo's instructions to stay at home and reflect, it had been left behind by Chu Qian.

It's better to act than to move, find dozens of copper coins under the pillow on the bed, hide them closely, tidy up your clothes, open the door, Chu Zhi walked to the back door leisurely, ignoring the fact that he met a few servants with strange colors on the way, and walked to the back door of Chu Mansion in a blink of an eye, the servants guarding the back door are not qualified to know Chu Luo's admonition to let Chu Zhen stay at home for reflection, and when he saw the second son coming, he felt very strange, but he still obediently stepped forward and saluted and opened the door.

Out of the back door of the Chu Mansion, Chu Zhi went all the way without purpose, only to listen to the sound of selling flowers in the streets and alleys, the wormwood was lit in front of every house, looking at it, it seemed that Bianliang City was shrouded in the lingering fragrant clouds, smelling the rich aroma, Chu Zhi strolled to the most prosperous and lively East Cross Street in the east of the city, only to see thousands of people here, light cars flying covers, converging into a rolling torrent, flowing to all parts of Bianliang City, sending out a scorching heat wave like volcanic lava.

Rubbing shoulders one after another, sweating like rain, squeezing for a long time and finally freed from the vast sea of people at the crossroads, Chu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat beads on his face with a wry smile, looked at the crowd behind him with palpitations, strode forward, and deliberately looked for a secluded alley halfway, and came to a place with fewer people, which made him feel much more refreshed.

After wandering around the secluded alley for a long time, Chu Zhen quietly found that he seemed to be lost, but Chu Zhen was not in a hurry, even if Bianliang City was bigger than the sky, as long as he had a mouth, he would not be able to find a way out, but at this time, Chu Zhen was not in the mood to ask someone, listening to the laughter and laughter coming from both sides of the alley, he felt a little dazed.

Thinking of the time when I spent the holiday with my parents and siblings at home before I crossed over, although there was no joy of the festival in the modern industrial society, the family gathered together, and now I think about it, I have a warm meaning in my heart, which is better than being alone now, and my heart is cold and lonely and no one knows.

"Hey, what are you doing here?"

A crisp and translucent voice like a pearl falling to the ground sounded, Chu Zhi followed the prestige, in front of an elegant courtyard, a pretty girl about fifteen years old stood at the door with a delicate little face, her skin was brighter than snow, and her eyes were like a pool of clear water, but her bright eyes like water seemed to be flashing with a little cold light, staring at herself fiercely.

Chu Zhi paused, turned around and looked around, from the footprints on the ground for the next year, it turned out that when he was at a loss, unconsciously, he had been wandering around in front of the door for a long time, Chu Zhen smiled apologetically at the girl, turned around and prepared to leave.
