After listening to his senior brother's words, Chen Kaizhi suddenly felt that he still lacked life experience.

But if you think about it carefully, it's not right, Chen Kaizhi thinks that it is a routine for others, but for his teacher, his heart is full of respect, so he rarely uses this routine to fool the master.

can look at Senior Brother Deng, and then think about the various praises that his teacher usually praises him, Chen Kaizhi still can't help but have a feeling that he knew this was the case, so why bother at the beginning.

Chen Kaizhi suddenly came back to his senses, and had to bow to Senior Brother Deng and said: "It's me who is confused, and I ask my senior brother to forgive me, my teacher only said that my senior brother's surname is Deng, but I don't know my senior brother's surname?" ”

Senior Brother Deng nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "My name is Deng Jian, three years ago, I was a Jinshi, I first watched the government in the household department, and now I am working in the military department, hey, don't mention these, in short, the things in the ministry are very complicated, I will tell you later, you can rest assured, you are my junior brother, although I fooled the master, but I am your senior brother, the eldest brother is like a father, the senior brother will take good care of you, when you arrive in Beijing, you will be like returning to your own home, go, go home first." ”

Saying that, he ordered someone to salute Chen Kaizhi's back, and there was already a sedan chair driver waiting outside the dock, Deng Jian was very enthusiastic, let Chen Kai get on the sedan chair, and led Chen Kaizhi all the way into the city.

After passing through the outer city, passing through another city gate, and entering the inner city, it did not stop until it stopped at a simple courtyard on the edge of the inner city.

Chen Kai got off the sedan chair and couldn't help but speak: "Senior brother, do you live here?" ”

"Where else can I stay? This is the inner city, every inch of land is expensive, I'm just a small court official, I want to be corrupt and bend the law, and I want others to give it away. Deng Jian continued with a regretful face: "You can go to the outer city to rent a good place, but I am on duty every day, if I am in the outer city, I will have to delay a lot of work on the road, this is already very good, you see, this next door is a royal history, there is a Hanlin at the end of the street, you don't have to pick and choose, the Beijing official is bitter, I want to go out, but there is no way." ”

Senior Brother Deng looked melancholy, his eyebrows were twisted, and he took the money and sent the sedan chair man, Chen Kaizhi realized that even the sedan chair man was hired, but in this room, there was a porter, and an old woman was responsible for boiling water and cooking.

Chen Kaizhi said: "Senior brother, I don't know if my sister-in-law is here, I should go to pay my respects first." ”

"Nope." Senior Brother Deng raised his head and said melancholy: "There were people who came to the matchmaker before, but I couldn't look down on it, but if I did, I couldn't look down on me, hey, the things in Beijing are too complicated, let's go to the house first." ”

This is a three-room wing, but the porter is too old, and the ears and eyes are not very convenient, Deng Jian yelled at him to make tea, this is called Lao Liu's porter, but he nodded again and again, but he was at a loss.

And the old woman was cooking in the kitchen, Senior Brother Deng gritted his teeth and said: "It's cheap, it's not good, and I still pointed to you to serve me, but I didn't expect that I would provide for you." So I was busy making tea.

Chen Kaizhi put down his burden and bookcase, looking at the environment, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, in Jinling, everyone thought that Senior Brother Deng must be a group of servants now, and his wife and concubine were beautiful, who would have ......

Senior Brother Deng burned tea, as if because the tea was hot, grinning his teeth, rolled up his sleeves, and said: "Nothing else is appropriate here, the only good thing is convenience, you will go to the school palace in the future, this is close to the school palace, and other things, there is a senior brother to take care of, you are a good student to study, and when you get into the jinshi, the senior brother has a doorway, and then I will teach you some experience." ”

Speaking of this, he sighed again: "At the beginning, I was too young, I didn't understand anything, I was fooled, Hanlin couldn't get in, I couldn't release it, I couldn't go up, I couldn't go up, so it was like this, you take a rest first, the meal is almost ready, and the senior brother will take you to have fun at night and see the big scene." ”

Speaking of the appearance of the big scene, Senior Brother Deng gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind to break the bank.

This made Chen Kaizhi very upset, so he said: "Forget it, you still don't have to go." ”

Senior Brother Deng's face suddenly fell: "How can you not go?" If you don't go, you don't give face to your brother, that old fellow, I fooled him for half my life, since ten years ago, I worshiped him and began to fool him, but he repaired books to make our brothers and sisters love, can I still fool him? I'm a senior brother. ”

Chen Kaizhi was very embarrassed, and hurriedly took out a few taels of silver from his coat, this time when he came to Beijing, he spent thirty taels of silver at Xun's house to use, so he had plenty of money, Chen Kaizhi said very sincerely: "Senior brother, I ...... here"

Senior Brother Deng glanced at it, but he was angry: "What do you mean by this, look at Senior Brother can't afford it?" Senior brother is so official, no matter how shameless he is, can he be sorry for his junior brother? Put away your money. ”

Seeing Senior Brother Deng's angry appearance, Chen Kaizhi had no choice but to put away the silver, and then slowly drank tea.

After a while, Senior Brother Deng asked Chen Kaizhi to go to dinner, and sure enough, it was a dust washing banquet, with a lot of wine and food, and he deliberately killed a chicken.

Senior Brother Deng took two chicken legs down, stuffed them into Chen Kaizhi's bowl and said: "Eat, eat, eat more, oh, by the way, when you repair the book to the teacher, don't speak ill of the senior brother, our senior brother, if there is anything to say behind closed doors, when the time comes, I will repair the book to the teacher, and say that I am here, in addition to being on duty, I will read and play the piano after duty." ”

As he spoke, he unscrewed the chicken butt with chopsticks, and ate it as if he had never seen meat for many days.

Chen Kaizhi gave him a chicken leg, and Deng Jian shook his head: "You eat, it's for you to catch the wind, I often eat chicken, but it's not at home, it's when Shangguan ordered to go to patrol the camp." ”

In the end, Deng Jianshang was still holding a chicken bone that had been eaten almost completely, desperately picking the meat, as if he had a grudge against the chicken, and even a piece of meat had to be eaten clean.

Chen Kaizhi was dumbfounded, he was very poor at the beginning, and it was rare to eat some meat at that time, so every time he encountered meat, he cherished it very much, but he didn't expect that his senior brother seemed to be better than him.

After eating and drinking, Senior Brother Deng's mood became happy, touching his belly, and he had to put on a little senior brother's appearance: "Kaizhi, the water in this capital is deep, you can enter the school palace well, study hard, don't pay attention to the things outside, what is the matter, discuss it with the senior brother first." ”

Then he sighed: "I didn't expect you to be Xie Yuan." ”

Chen Kaizhi quickly adapted to this Senior Brother Deng, who was completely different from his original cognition, simply packed up his salute, rested in the room, and suddenly became refreshed again.

When he got out of the wing, he saw Deng Jian squatting on the patio in front of the house and washing his clothes.

Chen Kaizhi hurriedly stepped forward, star-like eyes star-like looked at Deng Jian, and asked with doubts, "Senior brother, what are you ...... What does it do? ”

Chen Kaizhi recognized that this shirt was changed by him all the way by boat.

Deng Jian put down the clothes in his hand and said with a depressed face: "Hey, there was an old woman who did the laundry, but she went out to buy things, and she was idle, so I helped you wash the clothes, you don't have good clothes on you, wear my clothes later, I'll take you to see the world, senior brother rarely has a Mu Xiu, and I happen to have a spare ...... today."

Of course, Chen Kaizhi knew that Deng Jian wanted to take him to the black Internet café, and seeing his sweaty appearance, he was also depressed, and hurriedly said, "I'll wash it." ”

Deng Jian was annoyed instantly, his sword eyebrows twisted deeply, and he looked at Chen Kaizhi unhappily: "Usually senior brothers rarely do the laundry in person, isn't it because you came?" I know that you are also hard, the teacher came to repair the book, saying that you are poor, the family is surrounded by walls, and it is very hard to come to Jinling, and you usually don't do less laundry, right? But this time, Senior Brother will help you wash it first. ”

Chen Kaizhi sneered: "Uh...... In fact...... I don't usually do laundry at home. ”

"Huh?" Deng Jian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, his teacher said that his family was surrounded by four walls, why didn't he have to do his own laundry?

Deng Jian looked at Chen Kaizhi intently with a pair of eyes, and asked suspiciously, "Could it be that you also hired a woman?" ”

Chen Kaizhi scratched his head, couldn't bear to lie to him, and said with a sneer: "Actually...... It was the singer next door who helped me with the laundry. ”

"And such a thing?" Deng Jian was so angry that he jumped to his feet, Fang Cai has always pitied Chen Kaizhi for living a harder life than himself, who would have thought that this guy would ......

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, so he said: "Okay, it's very good, come on, take that bamboo pole and dry clothes." ”

Chen Kaizhi suddenly remembered something, and said: "At night, I won't go out, I understand the kindness of my senior brother, but it's better to review my homework at home, those fireworks and willow alleys, it's not good for me to go now, if it is known, the school palace will definitely punish it." ”

"Kaizhi, you don't know, and now the atmosphere is different from my early years." Deng Jian wanted to persuade him, but it can be seen that Chen Kaizhi shook his head vigorously, obviously he had made up his mind, and in the end he had no choice but to continue persuading, so he hurriedly changed his words: "That's fine, getting fame is more important than anything else, you study hard, if you don't understand anything, come to find senior brother." ”

Chen Kaizhi just smiled and nodded, and went back to the house to read.

When he came to Luoyang, he took some books from his teacher, and when he had nothing to do in the boat, he took them out and read them, these are all articles by Chen Hongru, and he recently read a Caotang notebook, Chen Kaizhi got a lot of inspiration.

However, for this newcomer, Chen Kaizhi is still a little curious.

Although it is still spring, the air in this Jingshi is obviously drier, and it is not as smoky as Jinling.

Passing through the inner city is a tributary of Luoshui, and only when you are in it can you know the grandeur of this place. After Chen Kaizhi had dinner, he went out for a few steps, and was impressed by this thousand-year-old capital.

After walking around the neighborhood, it can be regarded as having a preliminary understanding, and seeing that the sky is getting dark, I returned to my home with the green light, opened my bookcase, and started to read.
