Seeing that several sons and brothers on the opposite side were about to step forward, there were a few inappropriate sounds from outside the crowd, and the crowd suddenly got out of the way, and a team of sword-carrying servants pushed and walked over.

Chen Ji shook his head, "Chengguan nose." ”

Shen Qiu looked over suspiciously, and whispered: "Childe, it's someone from the government......"

Chen Ji bowed his head and had already walked over, just when everyone thought he was about to run away, he asked him to pin the small folding fan into the belt, and his tone was flattering: "The water washed the Dragon King Temple, and his family ...... his own family" A pair of hands naturally stretched out, and he was about to grab the hand of the foreman and the officer.

That kind energy, Shen Qiu is embarrassed.

The foreman was also taken aback, quickly retreated half a step, and immediately held the handle of the knife with the hand that passed by Chen Ji, and reminded: "Don't move if you stand there." ”

Chen Ji nodded, and really stood still.

The foreman swept around, his eyelids jumped, and the most disturbing thing about patrolling the street was the situation in front of him, who was wearing a green shirt and a scarf that could not afford to offend.

He cleared his throat and asked, "How many sons are students?" ”

Chen Ji shook his head and fell in the eyes of others, which was really a shame for the reader. As for the scholars on the other side, they were polite but neither humble nor arrogant.

"Since they are all government students, why do they gather to block the road?" In the end, it was the head of the government that came out, and the momentum was still a little good, turned his head, and said to the official behind him, "Disperse everyone." ”

The rest of the servants turned around and began to disperse the crowd, and the team leader said: "What's unpleasant about the sons, why don't you talk about it in another place?" ”

Chen Ji said bitterly: "That's not possible, just now I said in front of many people that I was going to beat people, and now I have left without witnessing, if these people beat people up another day, they won't rely on me?" After all, he is a scholar, and his reputation can't be bad. ”

This is obviously inconsistent.

Chen Ji seemed to see everyone's "doubts", and quickly added: "The temper comes up and puts a few cruel words to make money, but I don't necessarily really want to do it, they are all readers, and Sven is the most important." ”

After a few words, the team leader didn't know how to answer, and his eyes fell on a few scholars in the back, meaning to come out and make a statement.

At that moment, a friend of the person concerned stood up, "Just now my friend was in a hurry, and he didn't mean to offend ......"

Chen Ji turned around and said slowly: "This is apologizing to me?" ”

The scholar who spoke bowed slightly.

Chen Ji smiled: "Are you his father?" Or is he your father? ”

Shen Qiu stepped forward and dragged Chen Ji, but was pushed away. The faces of the people on the other side changed and changed.

The scholar who spoke straightened up and said coldly: "Is Childe insisting on not being able to wait with me?" ”

Chen Ji said innocently: "How dare you." It's just that since you're not his father, and he's not your father, what qualifications do you have to apologize for him? Chen Ji didn't give the other side a chance to speak, and turned his head to the foreman and said, "Chen Ji, the son of the general judge in Xiaqingzhou, is now going to sue the official." ”

There was a burst of boos from all around. The faces of the people on the other side turned completely pale.

The official was helpless, he had seen it with his fists, and his face was not much better, "Who is Gongzi Chen going to sue?" Why did you sue the official? ”

"I sued them for insulting my personality and causing irreparable damage to my reputation."

Shen Qiu scraped his forehead with his fingernails, and said in his heart, "Childe, what kind of trouble are you going to make here?" ”

The foreman was stunned, he didn't know what the so-called "insulting personality" meant, as for reputation, where did the son of the Chen family in front of him have any reputation. If not, where would you do such a thing?

turned his head and judged that the adult was not worth it, how could such a good official who served the country and the people suffer such a son.

"Chen Gongzi ......"

Before the words fell, the third wave of people who interrupted the course of events had appeared, a total of three people came, the first one was an old man in a Confucian shirt, his beard was white, and his spirit was quite good, especially a pair of eyes like eagle eyes, staring at people's brains hurt. Behind him were two relatively young middle-aged uncles, their faces were a little pale, and they looked at Chen Ji with a very unkind expression.

"You are all students in this term?" When the old man arrived, his voice was low, which naturally gave people a sense of majesty.

Chen Ji caged his sleeves, smiled kindly, and did not step forward to answer, he couldn't "come out" at this time. Shen Qiu took small steps, leaned behind Chen Ji, and said in a suppressed voice: "Childe, the old man may be a professor of Fuxue. ”

Chen Ji nodded, Shen Qiu didn't say anything, and someone on the other side also told him. When the three scholars saw the old man, they had already stepped forward to greet the students and responded to the previous questioning.

The old man immediately looked at Chen Ji and said coldly: "It seems that Chen Tongju is busy with political affairs, and he is really negligent in disciplining Chen Gongzi." ”

Chen Ji was polite, probably thinking that he would have to mix under the hands of people in the next two years, and in the end he had to talk about "respecting teachers and valuing education", so he was taught with a face: "Mr. Mingjian, my father is very strict with students on weekdays, but the students are stubborn, and whenever my father is not in front of him, his nature is exposed......"

The old man stared at the gossip, and the street made people gossip, and he really lost his face, and said to both parties at the moment: "Go back with me." ”

Shen Qiu's heart was put down for the time being, and his face was sad, "Childe, you will suffer in the future." ”

Chen Ji snorted and said in a low voice, "I don't know if the old gentleman will kick me out, I'm worried that I won't be bored in the future......"

"Huh?"

Chen Ji turned around and apologized to the foreman and said: "Now that Mr. Fuxue has come forward, forget about the matter of suing the official, I don't care about disturbing a few public facts, I will take a break another day, and invite a few people to have a drink!" ”

The foreman was so happy that he had nothing to do, and when he heard the last sentence, he couldn't cry or laugh again.

The wine table of Chen Dagongzi in Qingzhou Mansion is almost everyone who is afraid to avoid it.

At that moment, he returned the salute with his fists and left with the servants. That's when the crowd really dispersed.

In the private room on the third floor of a restaurant on the street, the young scholar standing by the window retreated, and the handsome scholar on the table in the room raised his eyes and asked with a smile: "Is there a fight?" ”

"Almost." The scholar replied and sat down, his brows furrowed, "Zichang, do you think our eldest son Chen is really stupid?" Or is it for others to see? ”

The scholar on the other side twisted the teacup and pursed his lips and said, "Who knows." ”

——

On the Minglun Hall, Chen Ji and the three scholars facing each other on the street stood on one side, Shen Qiu was not allowed to enter this kind of sacred place, so it seemed that Chen Ji was alone, it was really a little pitiful, and more hateful.

The old gentleman who was fighting on the street was now standing at the forefront, and behind him hung the portrait of the Holy Master, solemn and solemn. After tea, a scholar in a Confucian shirt walked in one after another, and under the guidance of a black-clothed teacher at the door, the whole occasion was as solemn as a "college entrance examination room".

No matter how big Chen Xixin was, he didn't dare to make any small movements, he stood upright, his hands naturally drooped against the "trouser seams", and all the small expressions on his face were put away, a bit like "seeing the head teacher".

After everyone had arrived, the old professor cleared his throat and began to "go to class". Chen Ji didn't understand much, maybe there were too many "sages" on this occasion, which temporarily exceeded his comprehension. But in the final analysis, it is nothing more than "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith". Converted into the familiar set of Chen Ji, it is the eternal "concern" of the "class teacher's lecture" in later generations, so he probably listened to the old professor's "ancient text", and he silently followed the "translation" of the vernacular text in his heart. After all, it is the occupational disease of students that is not so easy to eliminate.

Chen Ji thought about this, and suddenly heard that he was named, and when he raised his eyes, the old professor had an extra ring ruler in his hand at some point, and he was staring at him directly, and said solemnly: "Come out." ”

Chen Ji took a step forward.

The old professor scolded again, "Kneel." ”

Chen Ji then faced the Holy Master and knelt down sincerely.

The old professor stepped forward, his eyes swept over the many scholars present, and he said seriously: "You are all new students this time, and I called you here so that you can abide by the teachings of the sages, work hard, and cultivate your self......"

There was another burst of polite official words, and Chen Ji already felt a tingling sensation in his knees.

Finally, the old professor set his mind on him. It was clearly intended to set him up as a negative teaching material to warn the new students present.

The old professor announced Chen Ji's "sin" in public, and then slapped his palms twenty times with a ring ruler, and then ordered a black-clothed priest standing next to him, and then sent Chen Ji to the Jinshen Hall to think overnight, and he had to copy the "Book of Filial Piety" ten times.

As for the other three people involved, none of them slapped their hands five times.

Chen Ji doesn't think that this kind of "ridicule in public" has anything, and it is the first step to earn back his reputation, which of his generation of students was not beaten by the teacher, not so squeamish, as for copying books, it is also a very experienced thing. It's just that the pain in his knee is really uncomfortable, and he is very depressed at the moment!

After the old professor finished training everyone, he walked up to him and asked, "Do you have any grievances?" ”

"Students are at fault, don't dare to complain!"

"Will you ignore the friendship of your classmates and retaliate afterwards?"

"Students don't dare."

"Don't dare, not won't? So there is still a grudge? ”

Chen Ji wanted to praise, "You are really a logical genius", and raised his eyes to look at the portrait of the Holy Master in the hall, "Students dare not deceive the Holy Master." ”

The old professor didn't ask, nodded and said, "Get up." ”

Chen Ji stood up and recovered briefly before returning to the queue, and the old professor began to speak at length again, sounding like a "pledge meeting" before admission. Chen Ji was soothing his injured knee with his thoughts, but he didn't listen to anything.

It's good to say, it's over after all, Chen Ji is hungry, and then he knows that it's time to eat. However, as soon as he left Minglun Hall, there was already a black-clothed sect waiting for him.

Chen Ji's face was bitter, "Don't you eat any food?" ”

The other party bows his head, and the words are like gold.

"I'm growing my body, and I'm not going to grow taller if I don't eat?"

The other side shook his head, "Have you eaten enough, and have you thought about it?" The sage said, 'Heaven will descend on the people, and the people will ......'"

Chen Ji immediately bowed down and said, "Please lead the way." ”
