Seeing Chen Kaizhi enter the house, Chen Wuji arrived in front of the chai door, stood in a daze, thought for a moment, knelt outside the door with a puff, and then stopped talking. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The sedan chair of the Xun family is still parked there, Miss Xun rolled up the curtain, she also has resentment in her heart, although she has read some poetry books since she was a child, but she still can't understand Chen Kaizhi's unwarranted refusal, she can't help but feel a little uncomfortable, seeing Chen Kaizhi go and return, Miss Xun also when he knew his mistake, so he sat in the sedan chair and waited for Chen Kaizhi to admit his mistake, who expected this guy to go back to the house angrily.

Did you eat gunpowder?

Miss Xun felt more and more aggrieved in her heart, but she saw a young man kneeling in the mud in front of the door, and he didn't dare to come out.

Miss Xun couldn't react for a while.

She called her attendant and gave a few orders, and the attendant went forward to ask questions, and then came back to give her a message.

Chen Kaizhi closed the door to study, but he also calmed down. At noon, he was busy cooking, and thought to himself, his scarf and Confucian shirt had not yet been prepared, but he was afraid that he would have to find another tailor shop, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, went to the courtyard to look for firewood, and saw Chen Wouji still kneeling there.

Chen Kaizhi's heart softened, and he said sharply: "Have you eaten?" ”

"Didn't eat it." Chen Wuji saw that Chen Kaizhi began to take care of him, and then accentuated his tone: "I didn't eat early in the morning." ”

Chen Kaizhi was angry and laughed: "Come in and help me burn firewood." ”

"Oh." Chen Wuji rolled over and got up, but he hurriedly came in with his baggage.

"Whose stuff is this?" Seeing him carrying the burden, Chen Kaizhi frowned.

"It was the young lady in the sedan chair just now who told me to hand it over to the eldest brother, saying that it was a scarf and a Confucian shirt. I know you didn't do it, and I'm afraid it's too late, so ......"

"Take a look at me."

I took the burden and went back to the house to untie it, and sure enough, it was a set of clothes with excellent materials and meticulous needlework.

Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but shake his head: "What did she say to you?" ”

Chen Wuji tilted his head and thought for a while before he said, "I just said I'll give this to you." ”

Ay...... It's sugar-coated cannonballs.

But now it's too late to find a tailor, and the most important thing is ...... Poor!

Chen Kaizhi shook his head and smiled bitterly, but he could also understand Miss Xun's intentions, he said, "Did you thank her?" ”

"It wasn't for me." Chen Wuji snorted, he was obviously a little afraid of Chen Kaizhi.

The words are not rough, Chen Kaizhi can understand it very well, it is already very bitter to run errands for people, this is like the last world, the little joke in the school that specializes in sending letters to people, it is already very sad to make wedding dresses for people, thank you for a yarn.

Chen Kaizhi simply tried on his clothes, draped the Confucian shirt on his body, wore a scarf on his head, and there was no bronze mirror at home, and said to Chen Wuji: "Does it fit?" ”

"Beautiful." Chen Wou-Ki exclaimed.

This is the truth, this scarf and Confucian shirt are well cut, Chen Kaizhi's figure is good, his eyebrows are clear, and he is wearing it on his body at this time, dancing like jade.

"Oh, I remembered that Miss Xun also confessed." Chen Wuji said.

Chen Kaizhi also feels pretty good: "What a word, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"Miss Xun said that if Brother Chen accepted it, it would be regarded as an advance of the dowry......"

Why didn't you say it sooner?

Chen Kaizhi was dumbfounded, teasing me, this is a dowry?

He couldn't help but glance at Chen Wuji, this guy must have done it on purpose, why didn't he say it before, and he didn't tell the truth until he tried it.

Chen Wuji looked bitter and hateful in front of others, I was afraid that he would be laughed at and scolded by others, and when he arrived in front of Chen Kaizhi, he showed the playfulness of some young people, and then he was busy with interest: "I'll go burn firewood." ”

After eating, Chen Wuji took the initiative to help wash the dishes and chopsticks, Chen Kaizhi's anger had disappeared, and when Chen Wuji's flattering appearance came to him, Chen Kaizhi said, "What are your plans?" ”

"I ...... I...... I want to follow Brother Chen. Chen Wouji's face looked a little apprehensive.

Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Follow me? You should know I'm poor. ”

"It doesn't matter, I can work." Chen Wuji looked at Chen Kaizhi pitifully: "I have nowhere to go, everyone bullies me." ”

Chen Kaizhi felt soft-hearted again, this young man is actually not bad, but he is in a bad situation, he thought to himself, after the completion of the entrance ceremony, he will be regarded as a talent, and the government will increase a lot of money and food for him, and his life will be more comfortable than before.

He said: "Okay, you can live here temporarily, but there is one thing, the gentleman has something to do and something not to do, what should not be done, even if the knife is on the neck, and what should be done, even if tens of millions of people obstruct it, it must be done." I don't ask you to be a gentleman, but I hope you obey the law, you know? Have you read a book? ”

Hearing that Chen Kaizhi was willing to take him in, Chen Wuji was overjoyed and said busily: "I've read some, when Daoist Yang was here, he taught me to read and write, but it's a pity that ...... He died a few years ago. ”

Chen Kaizhi sighed and said, "Then don't go to work, I want to find a way, you study here first, and I will supervise your homework." ”

Chen Wuji said: "Yes, everything is up to Brother Chen." ”

Chen Kaizhi asked him to freshen up, and then went out to get a futon on credit, the identity of the head of the case is very useful, the people in the neighborhood know that Chen Kaizhi is the head of the case, Chen Kaizhi only said that he would give money in a few days, and the other party didn't mind, only said: "The little minister doesn't have to be in a hurry to pay it back." ”

Chen Wuji lived here, he opened a bed in the hall, and usually got up early, when Chen Kaizhi got up, he had already started to burn firewood and rice, which made Chen Kaizhi a little embarrassed.

Three days later, Chen Kaizhi arrived at the school, at this time, the new talents were wearing scarves and Confucian shirts, and they were full of ambition, but when Chen Kai came, everyone was ashamed of themselves.

The head of the case is the head of the case, not to mention that Chen Kaizhi is young, and he was born with a good skin, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a face like a crown of jade, and a beautiful demeanor.

Everyone came to see the ceremony, of course, there were not no jealous people, Chen Kai returned the salute with a smile, and waited until Xuezheng came out, gathered people, and then the gong opened the way, a line of new talents, under the leadership of the school official, went straight to the school temple, and naturally there were people watching along the way, and it was very lively.

Chen Kaizhi was the head of the case, walking in front of the team, he couldn't help but look a little embarrassed, this kind of monkey-like exhibition, it really made him a little uncomfortable.

Wait until the temple of learning, the main sacrifice of learning, all living beings crossed the Pan Pond, then to the Confucian saint disciple salute, a big ceremony down, has reached the sunset, the Lord Xuezheng sang: "The road is long. ”

The crowd echoed: "I should seek up and down." ”

Xuezheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Put the fish bag." ”

The so-called fish bag is a sign of Xianggong, most of the senior officials in the court, most of them wear jade fish bags, ordinary officials, most of them are goldfish bags, if they lift people, it is a silver fish bag, and the small show talent is not too high, of course, since it has been officially enrolled, everyone is the son of the Confucian saint, this is like another world, you worship the eldest brother, even if it is just a parking brother, no matter how inconspicuous, it will give you a token.

The fish bag is a token, although it is copper.

A scribe took the fish bag first and sent it to Chen Kaizhi, and the fish bag was also engraved with his identity, as well as the age and physical characteristics of the school.

Chen Kaizhi took it, tied it around his waist, and walked backwards in the rivers and lakes, this is an identity, there is no food to eat, relying on this, you can still get the help of some scholars, and you can even go to the Temple of Literature to ask for some rice.

Of course, Xiucai will not beg for rice, the general government will distribute rice grain, and there are tax-free quotas, in short, although you can't be rich and expensive, you can still do it without worrying about food and clothing.

The talents all wore the fish bags well, and then dispersed.

Chen Kaizhi's mood is still very good, his identity has improved, and his quality of life has also reached a higher level.
