Not long after leaving Chen Wenxuan's yard, it was already evening, and the original plan was to accompany the old lady to dinner, because the previous wave of operations was no longer a good time. Knowing the direction in which the bullet may come, there is no reason to hit the muzzle.

After entering February, the weather really warmed up, and a lot of scenery was arranged in the large courtyard of the Chen family's third entrance, which would wake up in the spring breeze. The West Wing, which was originally under the name of Chen Ji, has been deserted and neglected, and it is the most chaotic place in the entire Chen family. After moving back, Chen Ji didn't have time to lead people to clean up, thinking that when the curtain came down on the family matter, he began to work. Now that the old lady is making a fuss, Chen Ji really doesn't dare to stay at home longer. It is estimated that Chen Tongju will be able to come back in May, and it may be better for him to return home at that time.

In front of the major events of life, any major event is just a trivial matter. A certain thought also began to sprout in his heart, and he had to find a way to let his family send him back to his hometown in Dengzhou.

Chen Ji sighed slowly, and it seemed that he had to return to his previous state of being out of tune. The thought that his reputation that had finally improved was about to be buried by his own hands again, he was really uncomfortable.

Not long after returning to the house, Xiao Ran and the three of them walked in from outside, and before the sound of people arrived, the deserted and huge courtyard became a little popular. However, after entering the house, Xu noticed that Chen Ji's face was not very happy, and the three of them immediately stopped talking, and Xiao Ran stepped forward at the instigation of Gui Chun and the others, and timidly reported today's events.

Chen Ji listened carefully for a while, and said with a smile: "You don't have to calculate it so clearly. Go and rest, and I'll have something to tell you tomorrow morning. ”

The three of them looked at each other, didn't say anything more, just a month, they have become accustomed to "listening to the command in everything", in the usual way, Xiao Ran will come forward to ask about dinner.

Chen Ji was helpless, and he missed the clever little girl when he first met. got up and went to the kitchen to find food, and under the slightly misty moonlight, I was inexplicably a little melancholy.

Suddenly there is no 9 to 5 in the morning, working overtime, and I am really not used to it.

During this time, he has found a lot of things to do, but because of his status as a showman, he can only stand by and stare dryly. Chen Ji really didn't understand how it was still a sin to come forward to help.

I also understand why the original old traces are nostalgic for flowers, and if you don't do this, there is really no pastime.

Returned to the west wing again, moved a chair to blow a cool breeze in the yard, the shadows of the trees under the moonlight, the green bamboo in the corner of the courtyard from time to time came the sound of waves, fragmented or a few cat meows, in a huge place, there was no other sound.

The light in the lanterns under the eaves was dim, Chen Ji was not used to going to bed early, and he didn't like the yard to be dark as soon as the sun set, so he asked Shen Qiu to hang more than a dozen lanterns.

In view of these things that happened to him, he was actually worried that the previous Chen Ji would come back to trouble him. When I woke up, I moved out of the West Chamber, and then I thought about it, I am afraid that I also have plans in this regard.

But the front yard is a place of hospitality after all, and it really doesn't matter if he stays there for too long. Although the last courtyard was idle, it was not taken care of for a long time, and it was not very safe to live, Chen Ji did not mention it, and the old lady lived there at first and built a Buddhist hall, and he was reluctant to disturb the cleanliness in the past. If the Bodhisattva had seen his true heels, the result would have been similar to that of "Chen Ji".

The few times he slept here before, Chen Ji had to call someone to serve next to him, Xiao Ran should have been the best candidate, he felt that men and women were different after all, so he pulled Shen Qiu to make a low bunk in the house. Later, he slept convulsively, and switched with Gui Chun again.

In short, he didn't dare to say the little bit of caution in his heart.

It's probably because the days are too leisurely, and the drowsiness is not very obvious, and there is really no way to pass the time, so Chen Ji called the three little guys and sat in the yard to tell stories, and now his stories are normal and much more exciting.

The three little guys also listened carefully, and every time they looked at him, they forgot to peel melon seeds for him.

is also because of this, the three of them probably feel that he likes to read some strange novels, and whenever he goes out, if he sees it, he will secretly buy it back. When he wasn't reading, he kindly hid those little books. Now in his study, there may not be as many career books as Chen Tong's hopes.

However, for the current Chen Ji, the Four Books and Five Classics are also very painstaking in the end, and he feels that even if he works hard, it is probably impossible for him to achieve as great achievements as his father on the way to the imperial examination where thousands of troops and horses cross the single-plank bridge.

And according to his current status as a showman, in fact, he should also go to the house to study, and there are probably the so-called monthly and quarterly exams, and those who fail to pass the assessment will be punished lightly, and they will not be demoted. Chen Ji was reluctant to go to school the year before, and I am afraid this is also the reason.

The little ink in my stomach is not enough in the end.

Now he is also half a catty and eight taels, and he really can't afford to lose Chen Tong's judgment of this person.

When I think about it, I feel that I should read it. The thought came to me again, and my skull began to hurt.

……

Chen Ji didn't call anyone to come over to listen to the story tonight, and made a detailed analysis of the events during this time, and made a plan for the possible reaction of the talker, and has already responded accordingly. Here are a few things that need to be addressed right now.

The top priority is naturally his marriage, and he still wants to take the initiative as much as possible in this matter.

Therefore, it is necessary to distract the attention of the Chen family, and in order to achieve this goal, the most appropriate way is to promote the prosperity of the Chen family's heirs, not to mention his marriage, and even his study has a lot of room for manoeuvre......

Thinking about it carefully, Chen Ji felt that it was necessary to list a "Implementation Rules on the Realization of the Extension of the Chen Family's Incense Stick". After some deliberation, the first fortress to be breached was Lin Yunyi, so Chen Ji finally decided to work with Chen Wenxuan, and it was not easy for him to come forward in this kind of thing. The old lady also has to ventilate there first, and it is best to give Chen Xiujie and his wife a step of "parents' lives cannot be violated".

During this period, he can't put down his homework, he has to read the books that he should read, he has to write the articles that he should write, and he must make some untraceable progress, giving the outside world the illusion that "I have worked really hard, why not eat this bowl of rice", which indirectly supports the major events of the family inheritance.

Once he has a younger brother, he is "the sky is high and the birds fly, and the sea is wide and the fish jumps".

Chen Ji straightened up from the chair, clenched his fists and made a cheering motion, and his fighting spirit was instantly high.

At the end of the summary of the past period of time, although it is not perfect, at least it has been able to have a relatively solid foundation, and Chen Ji feels that he should be able to build a general framework for his future life. As for the small details, how can everything be calculated.

The hour is not early, the wind outside is gradually blowing in, the bamboo waves are hurrying, and there should be bamboo leaves falling down. The moonlight reflects the pond at the corner of the courtyard, and there are light water lines fainting, which is really "the wind rises and blows a pool of spring water".

Chen Ji got up and went back to the house, and the chair looked a little lonely in the yard.

……

……

Early the next morning, Chen Ji woke up early in the morning, Xiao Ran had already prepared hot water to wash his face, and Gui Chun and the two were nowhere to be seen, so they should have gone to the kitchen to help. Since Chen Ji woke up, he has changed his temperament, and every morning at home, he will go to the old lady to say goodbye, have breakfast with him, and say something. Lin Yunyi's side, for the time being, can't find a suitable reason to go over, and it will take a while to get used to it. But every day, Chen Ji instructed Xiao Ran to send some warm porridge over there, if you have the heart to inquire, you can know that they are all "raising children" recipes. It's just that Lin Yunyi didn't ask about it in order to avoid another ripple in the relationship with Chen Ji, which had finally eased a little.

Even if I have lived in this world for more than a month, I am still a little clumsy except for dressing, and I can do other things by myself. Xiao Ran "has a lot of complaints" about this, and muttered "Let the outside know that Xiao Ran did not serve a good son, and want to scold Xiao Ran".

Chen Ji smiled noncommittally, "Isn't this childe feeling sorry for you." ”

Now that she said these misleading words, the little girl didn't blush anymore, said some interesting things she heard outside, helped Chen Ji get dressed, and combed her hair.

Chen Ji grinded east and west, and it was past the usual time to say goodbye, Xiao Ran and reminded: "Childe, you have to pass." ”

Chen Ji sighed leisurely, cried with a sad face, and then raised his hand to scrape the tip of Xiao Ran's nose, "What a sincere girl." ”

Xiao Ran made a shy face, "Childe! ”

Chen Ji had already taken a step, walked towards the door, turned around, and had already gone around to the corridor, and the little dye in the house returned to his senses, and heard the whistle from outside.

Giggled: "Childe is also in a good mood today." ”

The sunlight popped out mischievously from outside the courtyard wall, lengthening the shadow of the teenager and bringing a lot of warmth. Passing through the nine-curved corridor, the water in the pool is rippling, and occasionally watching a few goldfish scurrying around, stirring up a little splash. The lotus leaves on the surface of the pond do not grow as well as the south side. The bamboo waves are gusting, and the breeze lingers. Passing the Moon Gate, the young man stopped, tilted his head slightly, took a deep breath, pursed his lips and said, "It's not bad." ”

……

At noon, Lin Yunyi called someone to come to the West Chamber to spread the word, and Chen Ji took Xiao Ran over with him. After the first few words were not like the polite greetings between family members, Lin Yunyi took a letter from the table and handed it over, and said at the same time: "This is a letter from the master, explaining that Brother Ji should go to the house to study." ”

Chen Ji took it respectfully, he was really afraid of something, he couldn't understand this matter for a while, and the procrastination trick might not be very good. Chen Xiujie is not at home, and this Aunt Lin in front of her will inevitably unswervingly support Chen Xiujie's decision, and she will tie him up and send him to the school.

Chen Ji was so anxious that he couldn't wait to kneel down and call his mother.

Seeing Lin Yunyi's determined expression, Chen Ji sighed in his heart, "The letter said that the school opened on the seventh day of the first month of March, so I don't ...... in a hurry" and said respectfully, "I should use the school utensils for the house, and ask my aunt to help prepare it." ”

The other side smiled and looked at him, as if he had penetrated his heart.

Chen Ji couldn't make it up, "There is Aunt Lao." ”

Lin Yunyi said: "It's February 27 today, and it doesn't take long until the seventh day of the first month of March. ”

There are probably ardent hopes such as "Brother Ji went out of the Tongju Mansion after all, and he can't let people see jokes". Lin Yunyi didn't say it, Chen Ji knew it.

So he sat upright and respectfully responded.

Lin Yunyi nodded, and then conveyed some of Chen Xiujie's instructions, and then it was over. Then he added: "After a while, Brother Ji went to the house to study, and the master is not at home, I'm afraid I won't see him for a while, so Brother Ji will still send a letter to the master." ”

Chen Ji bowed down again and said, "I'll write it, and I'll send it over with my aunt early in the morning." ”

Lin Yunyi was slightly stunned, and knew that she couldn't reveal her "heart" in front of the juniors, so she suppressed the gloom in her heart at the last moment and sent Chen Ji away.

From time to time, Chen Ji's wail of "This is going to kill you" came back, Lin Yunyi smiled, her eyes fell on the soup bowl on the table, and she sighed leisurely, but she couldn't open her mouth to ask. If you want to say that it is really the so-called warm tonic decoction, it makes no sense to change its appearance.

It's just that Chen Xiujie is not at home for these things, and he has the identity of a "stepmother", so it's not easy to ask. Thinking about it in the letter to the lord this time, this matter should be mentioned! Then he shook his head, probably thinking that he was suspected of "suing the complaint". can't help but feel a little melancholy, it's really rare for a stepmother to do something like her. Why can't you learn from the stepmother who has been mentioned in the gossip outside the world as "very fierce, very fierce, very fierce".

I really owe this family in my last life.

……

Chen Ji, who had just walked out of the small courtyard, was like a lost soul, Xiao Ran looked at it behind him, and his heart ached.

The Chen family usually pays attention to the education of the servants in the family, and it seems that Xiao Ran also knows a few words, and it is very painful for them to recognize a few words, but the son shoulders the responsibility of carrying forward the Chen family, and he must learn more than them. But looking at the appearance of her former son, the little girl was also full of empathy. I can't help but be a little glad that I am a daughter's family and don't have to read so many books.

Soon the little girl realized that such an idea was inappropriate, so she pulled Gui Chun and Shen Qiu in, blaming both of them for not helping their sons to share the burden, she heard that other children's children are very good at accompanying their own sons to study. Look at Gui Chun and Shen Qiu again, if you don't accompany your son to study, forget it, and encourage your son to play all day long.

As soon as she thought of this, the little girl felt that she should not give those two guys a good face in the future.

Chen Ji didn't know what Xiao Ran was thinking, but now he had woken up from his initial fright, and before he knew it, he had walked to the pond with wilting lotus leaves. At first glance, he and the lotus leaf in the eye are not in the same disease.

With a long sigh, he stuffed the letter in his hand to Xiao Ran, lifted the hem of his clothes and went to the railing, and under Xiao Ran's gaze, which didn't know what was going on, Chen Ji jumped and fell into the pond.

A few big bubbles bubbled, and there was no life.

In the corridor, the little girl held the letter and cried silently.
