What Chen You said, it's not surprising that Xie Zuo didn't understand, after all, he is not from this era. However, for the old butler who often served Master Xie, the deep meaning implied in Mr. Xuzhi's words could not be clearer.

In this era of paying attention to origin, the court is controlled by the gate valve, and it is difficult for ordinary families to reach the sky if they want to be in a high position. The Xie family is congenitally deficient, and it is difficult to develop, and the only way is to worship under the famous teacher, so there is a slight possibility of mixing in the temple.

Chen You himself is a white body, he has never been an official, and he has no reputation in school, if he lets Xie Zuo recognize him as a teacher, it is tantamount to taking Xie Zuo's path to death, and there is no room for turning around in the future.

For this reason, Chen You was willing to surrender his identity and deigned to be a guest in the Xie Mansion. If Xie Zuo really has the heart to learn, this self-confidence can still give some pointers. If he doesn't want to, it doesn't matter, he is also happy to be free, continue his life of idle clouds and wild cranes, and enjoy it as well.

Therefore, the old housekeeper can be said to be both pity and admiration for Chen You, and he can only bow down to the ground and talk about his heart.

In this regard, Chen You accepted this gift very calmly.

And on this side, Xie Zuo is still competing with himself. In fact, he didn't have much ill feelings towards Chen You, a gentleman who suddenly popped up, but he was just a little awkward about the sudden appearance of a person who was in charge of himself in his head. But speaking from the heart, the person in front of me is actually the first real scholar he has met since he came to this era, and he still has some awe in his heart.

By the time Chen You said that he didn't want to be a teacher and only lived in Keqing, the little dissatisfaction in Xie Zuo's heart had long since disappeared. But in the end, it is to save face, just now I was not a nose or an eye to other people's noses, and now I am rushing to shoot people's feet, which seems a little deliberate. So, I had to play alone on the sidelines.

Chen You is a master who is not a bad person, stretched his waist, and patted the back of the green donkey next to him:

"I have been running around for days, and I have not slept and eaten for more than ten days, and today I can finally rest well. There is good wine and good food, and I can't say I want to drink it in the evening. ”

The old housekeeper stroked his palms and laughed when he heard this: "But it's a coincidence, there happens to be a guest in the house today, and the young master is in charge, so I will satisfy Mr." ”

Chen You said curiously, and looked at Xie Zuo: "Xiao Zuo, is it still going to serve the diet?" ”

When asked about himself, of course Xie Zuo couldn't pretend to be quails anymore. However, it seems that this Mr. Chen is really not that kind of Taoist gentleman, at least he does not have any blame for his "close cooking" in his words, so he sneered:

"Occasionally, I have to peek at the remedies, just the trail."

Chen You smiled, didn't ask again, and turned his head to talk to the old housekeeper. But for some reason, Xie Zuo always felt that Chen You's attitude towards himself was strange, and his eyes didn't look like he was looking at a junior, but he felt like a child.

Chen You was welcomed into the mansion and arranged a rest house not to mention for the time being. Now that Mr. Chen is his own family, of course his family needs to share weal and sorrow, so naturally, in the front hall, the old housekeeper told Chen You in detail about the recent crisis encountered by Xie Fu.

To Xie Zuo's disappointment, in the face of hearing that he was about to face the disaster, Chen You was neither indignant nor panicked, but only half-squinted, and there was no joy or anger on his face. It wasn't until the old housekeeper described the coping method completely, that he stroked his long beard with one hand and said slowly:

"The old man knows it. Today, this matter will be discussed later. ”

Looking at his appearance as the old god was there, to be honest, Xie Zuo wanted to punch him in the face. The point is that his expression is so annoying, and we are so busy jumping up and down for this matter, you are here to watch the monkey show, right?

In the end, Xie Zuo couldn't do it. Not to mention that the person still holds the title of half of the teacher, he didn't run away at the moment when he heard that the catastrophe was coming, at least he still paid attention to some righteousness. Well, let's raise a bookkeeper! Although, the Xie family doesn't seem to have any accounts at present.

Xie Zuo left the front hall with some anger, and went to the back kitchen to check the meal preparation, leaving only Chen You and the old housekeeper in the hall. Seeing Xie Zuo walking away, Chen You suddenly jumped out without a head and a sentence:

"Qingjun...... Have you ever delivered something to him? ”

The old butler seemed to understand, and was silent for a long time, and finally said astringently: "No." ”

When Chen You heard this, he seemed a little disappointed, and seemed to have a sense of relief, and muttered, "That's fine." If you have put it down, you will not mention it......"

When the couple arrived at the Xie Mansion at about the end of the time, Xie Zuo and the old housekeeper personally greeted the couple and invited the couple into the house. Now Zhan Yu is the commander of the Xie Mansion's number one force guarantee guard, and it is impossible to be too polite. The husband and wife don't carry many things, and together they only have two or three packages. Counting the time, they were quite fast, from the beginning of the intention to leave, to pay homage to the old mother, and to pack up, the result only took a total of four or five hours, in this society without modern tools, it can be described as amazing. And this, from another aspect, also shows the importance of this person's affection and righteousness. In order to repay the gratitude, they are racing against time, what is this not a matter of affection?

That night, everyone in the Xie Mansion gathered, Xie Zuo, the old housekeeper, and Xie Qingyi represented the main family to hold a banquet to entertain the Zhan Poultry couple and Mr. Chen Youchen, who came from afar.

It is said that the old housekeeper, Xie Qingyi, and Zhan Niangzi are not qualified to attend, but Xie Zuo has so many of them, and he dragged them to the table. Fortunately, neither Zhan Yu nor Chen Yu are people who eat the ancients, so naturally they will not have any opinions.

This dinner party can be regarded as Xie Zuo's personal serving. Two lotus leaves wrapped in lotus leaves, buried in the soil and roasted soft and fragrant, a pot of pig's trotter soup stewed to a sparse extent, an iron plate lamb loin made on a giant kitchen knife, plus the mutton shabu directly used as a pot in a copper kettle and dipped in sauce, with the fruit wine provided by Zhan Niangzi, a meal was hearty and enjoyable. And Xie Zuo is even more full of inner cows: how many days have passed, and it is not easy to finally eat a decent meal!

After the meal, when he was full of wine and food, the old housekeeper asked Xie Qingyi to lead the Zhan Lady to rest, and he and Xie Zuo led Chen You and Zhan Yu to the study.

The study room in Xie Mansion is very large and very distinctive. From the beginning, there are full of bamboo bookshelves, which are stacked on top of each other, leaving only the middle of the room blank, which is quite the ideology of later libraries. There seem to be a lot of books on the shelves, but most of them are made of bamboo slips or wooden slips, and there are only a few silk books and Jibei paper books. According to Xie Zuo's estimate, this room has a collection of books, which looks scary, but in fact, the total number of words is only twenty or thirty thousand words.

After everyone sat down and the servants served the boiled tea and left, the old housekeeper walked to the center of the study and bowed deeply to Chen and Zhan:

"Xie Fu is in danger, thanks to the two high righteousness, the old decay is here to thank you in advance!"

Seeing this, Zhan Yu hurriedly left the table to return the salute, saying that he did not dare. But Chen You sat still, and the old god picked up the teacup on the ground and rinsed his mouth, and then said slowly:

"Brother Qin doesn't need to be like this, since there is a plan, according to the old man's opinion, this matter may not be dangerous."

Hearing this, the old housekeeper bowed again: "Mr. Chen is highly talented." Since the gentleman said that there is nothing to do, the old man is at peace! ”

Chen You shook his head, stroked his long beard, and said leisurely:

"Although the strategy of driving away the wolf and devouring the tiger is wonderful, it is not a dangerous situation, but it is not perfect. Fortunately, there is still time, and only a little remedy is needed, and it may not be irreparable. ”
