Chen Kaizhi and Zhang Zhong have come out.

Zhang Zhong's face was not good, his body was still weak, and he was a little trembling when he walked, but fortunately he was accompanied by Chen Kaizhi.

Out of the palace, he has been ready to ride, he probably knows the cause and effect before and after, this very abnormal face, showing a little gratitude, to Chen Kai's way: "Chen Xuexue, the grace of saving life, I must remember it, I really don't know how to repay you, but tonight, I will set up a banquet in Honglu Temple, invite Chen Xuexue to ...... together"

Chen Kaizhi felt that the meal he was talking about was not so simple, according to the urine nature of this kind of person, nine times out of ten, after eating, he had to ask himself to take medicine.

Circle and fork, this grandson is not a thing, I saved your life, but you want to feed me medicine?

Chen Kaizhi didn't wait for him to finish, then hurriedly shook his head and said: "Xuehou is now recovering from a serious illness, and it is better to take care of it for a few days, so I will disturb Xuehou's cultivation." ”

Although Chen Kaizhi doesn't have a good impression of Zhang Zhong, after all, he is also the one who spent a lot of effort to save him from the dead, so he couldn't help but remind Zhang Zhong.

After all, Zhang Zhong is also a person who has seen the wind and waves, how could he not hear the hint in Chen Kaizhi's words, after thinking about it, he seemed to feel that there was some truth, so he smiled and said: "Chen Xuezi is reasonable, so if you are free, come to visit again." ”

After just a pause, he suddenly said again: "Chen Xuexue, he will be rewarded one day." ”

He gave Chen Kaizhi a long look, and without too much verbosity, he slowly got on the ride and left.

In fact, a person like Zhang Zhong, although it is not a good thing, can secretly accept bribes from his uncle, secretly, and eat all kinds of magic medicines, life, nine times out of ten, he must be very extravagant, but these are just things in his bones, in appearance, although he is weak, but I don't know if he has been cultivated in the Yansheng Mansion for a long time, but he still has a rare bearing, but he is quite a humble gentleman, gentle as jade.

Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but smile as he watched the ride go away.

Then, he naturally returned to the Hanlin Academy on his own, ordered Mao, and went to the Museum of Culture and History.

As soon as he sat down, Deng Jian came up and lowered his voice and said, "Kaizhi, He Shixue is about to leave Beijing." ”

What is the study?

Chen Kaizhi was slightly stunned, he hadn't received any news before, was this too sudden, so he looked at Deng Jian with a puzzled look.

Deng Jian continued to lower his voice and said: "There is bad news from his family, saying that his father has passed away, and he is ready to return to his hometown for the funeral, and this funeral will take three years. ”

When Chen Kaizhi heard this, he couldn't help but show a look of pity: "It's really a sad thing, He Shixue must be very sad now, right?" ”

"Of course," Deng Jian nodded heavily......

No wonder when Chen Kaizhi came in, he felt that the atmosphere was not quite right, usually the affairs of this museum of culture and history are leisurely, and there are always some Hanlin people who get together to drink tea and chat, pointing out the country, but today, everyone is obediently in their own public house or on the case, all of them are silent.

Obviously, I'm not in the mood to laugh at this time.

As he was talking, a Han Lin came, and said with a smile: "Chen Xiu, Deng Xiu......"

There are three revisions in the Museum of Culture and History, in addition to Deng Jian and Chen Kaizhi, it is this Wang Bao who came, Wang Xiu's age is much older than Chen Kaizhi and Deng Jian, as soon as he came in, he said to them: "He Shixue has encountered bad news, and he will go to the funeral soon, this matter, you know, come, follow the salute, and talk about my intentions to be a lower official." ”

As he spoke, he took out a white fold and came out.

As soon as he heard that it was a courtesy, Chen Kaizhi didn't dare to slack off, when he encountered a white matter, he needed to be courteous, not to mention that this was still his own Shangguan, although this Shangguan was about to return to his hometown to worry about Ding Wei, or Ding Wei for three years, but his mind still had to be done.

Chen Kaizhi bowed his head lightly, and said, "Senior brother and I, let's each give five hundred taels together, please write it down." ”

When Wang Xiu heard this, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and Deng Jian was beside him, already dumbfounded, looking at Chen Kaizhi in disbelief.

"How?" Chen Kaizhi looked left and right, and saw that Deng Jian and the others were shocked, and they looked very puzzled.

Just said suddenly, he realized that he was too generous, this is the stinky problem of rich people!

I think he used to be a good boy who was frugal and frugal, but since he saw Uncle Wucai's big hand and directly throw 300,000 taels of silver into the water, he was gradually damaged by him.

One thousand taels of silver is indeed a huge amount, even for officials, it is enough to scare people to death.

Although Wang Bao was shocked, he quickly came back to his senses, and said to Chen Kaizhi with a smile: "Everyone is following twenty taels, Chen Xiu, are you joking?" ”

Deng Jian looked at Chen Kaizhi even more resentfully, Nima, a thousand taels of silver, how many chickens are this, this shot is too generous.

Chen Kaizhi finally realized one thing, if there were many people now, he would be suspected of pretending to be a big money.

So he coughed desperately to hide his embarrassment, so he said, "Then, let's be like everyone else." ”

Wang Bao smiled and said, "Then Wang wrote it down." He made a note on the white fold, nodded to the two of them, and then went.

As soon as Wang Bao left, Deng Jian glared at Chen Kaizhi, looking like he was trying hard to resist the urge to strangle Chen Kaizhi, you are so rich, but don't break everyone's rules, everyone is twenty taels, but you are raising the price on the ground, mention the price of this market, do you want to live?

Even if it was twenty taels, Deng Jian felt that it was enough pain, after all, his monthly salary was not much.

Chen Kaizhi looked at Deng Jian's depressed face, and said to Deng Jian: "Senior brother, this is a courtesy, I will come out for you." ”

"Not necessarily." Deng Jian shook his head stubbornly, and refuted Chen Kaizhi very persistently: "My mind, why do you want to come out?" ”

Chen Kaizhi sighed in his heart, the senior brother's one-year income is only a hundred taels of silver, this time, two months' income is gone, no wonder he has a hard time, but Deng Jian's temperament is like this, he would rather hide at home and eat the nest than take advantage of half of the people.

"What are you sighing about?" Deng Jian looked at Chen Kaizhi sideways, and seemed to feel that Chen Kaizhi's sigh contained deep meaning, so he couldn't help but say, "I can afford it." ”

He remembered something again, and then lowered his voice and said: "This Wang Bao is very concerned, as soon as he heard that He Shixue was going to run for his father's funeral, he took the initiative to come out and run for him, and the contact person was courteous, I think he hoped that He Shixue could speak well for him before he left Beijing." ”

Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but be stunned, and then he remembered the key to He Shixue's worries.

He Shixue's departure is three years, and in these three years, who will be responsible for the Museum of Culture and History?

It is nothing more than the transfer of someone from other places in the Hanlin Academy, or the selection of a successor from the Museum of Culture and History.

If it's the latter, then who has the best chance? Under the waiting, waiting, it is revision, others are not qualified enough, but in this museum of literature and history, there are three revisions, of course, Wang Bao has the deepest qualifications, he has been in the revision for six or seven years, and this time is the most promising to take over.

Now that he is so attentive, I am afraid that as Deng Jian said, I hope that He Shijiao can say some good things for him before leaving.

Chen Kaizhi suddenly paid attention, but he was silent, and when it was time to get off duty, Chen Kaizhi deliberately was a little late, and then pulled Deng Jian to leave, as usual, Chen Kaizhi was going to go to the signing room and take a roll call, at this time, the people in the Hanlin Courtyard were roughly empty, and the scribes here were almost gone, and only one scribe was on duty here.

Seeing Chen Kaizhi and Deng Jian coming together, the scribe hurriedly greeted and saluted cordially.

Chen Kaizhi smiled at him, signed his name on the roster, and said to the clerk without a match: "It is really sad that he serves the death of his father." ”

The scribe hurriedly said: "Yes, the student went to see the scholar with red and swollen eyes today, and it is really a pity that Bachelor Wu comforted him." ”

Chen Kai's way: "Everyone should follow the courtesy, talk about the ...... of their hearts"

When the scribe heard this, he understood: "This is a matter of course, Chen Xiushu and Deng Xiushu are only afraid that the cost is not small, it is said that even the editors of the Museum of Culture and History, each of them have paid thirty taels." ”

"What?" Deng Jian was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes turned cold: "Thirty taels? ”

"How not?" The scribe smiled and said, "It's a student, and it's also out of three taels." ”

Deng Jian wanted to say something, but Chen Kaizhi pulled him out.

Coming out of the signing room, Deng Jian was filled with anger in his heart, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "That Wang Xiu, keep talking to us about twenty taels, who would have thought that even the editors at the bottom are thirty taels, Wang Xiu, at least fifty taels, he is very clever, if the list of gifts is reported, you and I are all editors, but the gifts given are not as good as small edits, what will others think of us?" This Wang Bao just wants to succeed, but he really wants to succeed and wants to go crazy, so he uses our senior brothers as stepping stones. ”

Chen Kaizhi actually suspected that this was the case for a long time, so he ran to ask the scribe in the signing room, most people are very taboo about the number of gifts, they are not very familiar with you, and they will not mention it to you at all.

Otherwise, how much silver you have given yourself as a gift, and you are still shouting around, if it is well known, it will inevitably give people a bad impression.

The scribes in the signing room are different, they are not officials after all, and they don't want to make progress, and the people in this signing room are mixed, and they are all clear about the things in the Hanlin Courtyard, Chen Kaizhi is usually very polite to them, and they also know everything about Chen Kaizhi.

This is also the reason why Chen Kaizhi is extremely polite to the scribe.

In this Hanlin Academy, it is actually a small society, and Wang Xiushu obviously realized that his biggest competitors were Chen Kaizhi and Deng Jian, so he changed hands and pitted them as two brothers.
