Ding Youwei stood in the patio, the lights of the wooden building behind her were reflected, outlining her tall silhouette, in the dark, her eyes were like stars.

Chen Caozhi sent the Ding brothers back and asked, "Sister-in-law, where are Zongzhi and Run'er?" ”

Ding Youwei said: "I fell asleep, the two little things didn't care about reading and learning words today, and they were always asking when Uncle Ugly would come back?" Has Uncle Ugly entered the product? Asked dozens of times. ”

Chen Caoyi smiled: "It's very annoying, how did the sister-in-law answer?" ”

Ding Youwei turned around and entered the building, and said with a smile: "I naturally said that you want to enter the product, but Run'er asked how many products to enter, she also knew that there were nine products, and knew that her father was the seventh product back then, and said that the ugly uncle was best to be nine products, and the nine products were the largest." ”

Chen Caozhi smiled: "Then I'm going to disappoint Run'er, my character is younger than my brother." ”

"Oh?" Ding Youwei turned his head back, his eyes flashing with surprise: "How many products do you always serve?" ”

Chen Caozhi said: "The sixth grade." ”

Ding Youwei was excited, the sixth grade, that is the highest grade that a scholar from the Hanmen Shu clan can obtain, Qingzhi was promoted to the seventh grade by Lu Na at the age of eighteen has already caused a sensation in the counties of Wu County, and Cao Zhi is only fifteen years old now, and the official product will only be sixteen years old next year, and the nine-grade official law has been implemented for more than 100 years, and there are not a few children of the poor family who have been rated as the sixth grade, but the sixteen-year-old is listed as the sixth grade is definitely unprecedented.

Chen Caozhi followed his sister-in-law to the study to sit down, Qingzhi and Yuyan took care of Zong Zhi and Run'er in the bedroom to sleep, Xiaochan and A Xiu waited in the study, the two pretty maids were full of joy, and Cao Xiaolangjun was in the product, they were all happy, especially Xiaochan, who almost laughed out of their hearts.

Chen Caozhi told the story of Qiyun Mountain's elegant gathering, and Ding Youwei knew that there were still people who intended to ruin Caozhi's reputation, and Ding Chunqiu also kicked over the food box she prepared for Caozhi-

Ding Youwei said apologetically: ", it's my sister-in-law who made you feel wronged." ”

Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "Even if it wasn't for my sister-in-law, I wouldn't have anything to do with Ding Chunqiu, there's no need, if I take a quick moment and expose his bad deeds in front of all the permanent servants, it will be of no benefit to me, and I will just make enemies in vain." ”

Ding Youwei felt very relieved, Xiaolang was steady and calm, he really didn't look like a fifteen-year-old boy, and said: "I know him in the Spring and Autumn Period, he is frivolous and reckless, but he will not harm people behind his back, he is still very arrogant - do you guess who is going to frame you, is it Chen Liu?" ”

Chen Caozhi said: "It is very clear that it is Chen Liu, Master Lu, and the Qian Tang Yu clan behind them. ”

Ding Youwei was afraid and said: "It's really dangerous, if you didn't handle this matter properly at that time, I was afraid that it would be ruined for the rest of your life, and the scholars of the Xuan clan could indulge, but the Han clan of the Confucian scholars must be polite, I am afraid that they will not give up, and they will spread rumors to slander you." ”

Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "Sister-in-law relax, the rumors stop at the wise, I am only fifteen years old, what bad things can I do, no one will believe the rumors that are too outrageous, I am filial to my mother, respect my sister-in-law, love my young nephew, respect my teacher, what can they do to me?" ”

Ding Youwei relieved his worries and smiled, nodded vigorously, and said: "Cao Zhi is right, those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid, and those villains will eat the consequences sooner or later." ”

Xiaochan on the side smiled and said: "I like to see Cao Zhi Xiao Langjun speak calmly and unhurriedly, in my opinion, Zongzhi's little adult appearance is learned from Cao Zhi Xiao Langjun." ”

……

Chen Caozhi originally planned to go into the city in two days to meet Feng Mengxiong Feng's uncle and thank him for his care, but unexpectedly, on the evening of the 11th, Lai Zhen rushed from Chenjiawu and said that Ge Xianweng had sent Jing Nu back to summon Xiao Langjun to the Taoist Academy, saying that he had important things to explain.

Master Ge was called, Chen Caozhi did not dare to delay, bid farewell to his sister-in-law Ding Youwei early the next morning, took Zongzhi and Run'er back to Chenjiawu, and sent Laifu to Feng's mansion to thank Feng Mengxiong on his behalf.

Mother and son are separated, naturally reluctantly, Run'er said: "Mother, next year Run'er and Brother, and Uncle Ugly will come to see you again, don't be sad, we will bring the best gift to my mother every time I come." ”

Ding Youwei smiled with tears, leaned over to kiss his beloved daughter, told the little brother and sister a few words, and said to Chen Caozhi: "Xiaolang, you will go to Wu County to accept the evaluation of the state Zhongzheng after the year, come to your sister-in-law before you go, and your sister-in-law has something to give you." ”

Chen Caozhi bowed down and said, "I remember, sister-in-law, take care of yourself, see you next year." ”

Chen Caozhi's uncle and nephew, as well as Xiaochan, Qingzhi, Lai Zhen, Laide and Ran Sheng, it was already late afternoon when he returned to Chenjiawu, Chen Caozhi greeted his mother, reported about the Yaji of Qiyun Mountain, and when he was talking, Zeng Yuhuan went upstairs and said that the patriarch wanted to see Cao Zhixiao Langjun.

Chen's mother, Li Shi, said happily: "Your fourth uncle has just come to say hello to me, he already knows that you have been appreciated by the whole attendant and have been promoted, and now he heard that you are back, so he came again." "Let Chen Caozhi go and invite the fourth uncle to come up and sit.

When the patriarch Chen Xian saw Chen Caozhi, he actually shed tears, but his expression was very happy, and said: "Caozhi, go to the ancestral hall with my uncle, today is the day of great joy for my Qian Tang Chen family, and I want to comfort the spirits of the ancestors and ancestors in the sky." ”

Chen Xian received a report from the county office in the morning, asking the patriarch of the Qian Tang Chen clan to go to the county office on the 15th of this month to discuss the ten scholars selected by the county this year, and Chen Caozhi of the Qian Tang Chen clan was temporarily listed as the sixth grade.

In addition to Chen Cao, another student from the poor family is named Liu Shangwei, ranking the ninth grade, and the lowest of the eight scholars are the sixth grade, Ding Chunqiu is the fifth grade, and Yu Wenbin is the sixth grade.

But for the Qian Tang Chen clan, this sixth grade is a great joy, just like the children of the scholar clan are listed as the highest second grade, which is a supreme honor.

The whole clan of the Qiantang Chen clan worshiped their ancestors in the ancestral hall, and when the patriarch Chen Xian knelt down to the ancestors of the Chen family, he cried with joy.

After worshipping the ancestors, it was already the beginning of the Shen time, Chen Caozhi's mother was going to Baobao Mountain to meet Master Ge, because it was not early, and she would rest in the Taoist courtyard at night, and she would come back tomorrow, please don't worry about her mother.

When Chen Caozhi took Laide and Ran Sheng to the Balcony Daoyuan of Geling Chu, it was already dark, but he saw a carriage parked under the mountain, and the coachman was sleeping in the carriage.

There is a shortage of horses in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, carriages are rare, Chen Caozhi is strange in his heart, and when he enters the Taoist courtyard of the early balcony, he sees that the Taoist and the waiter are packing their luggage, and it seems that they are going to travel far away.

Ge Hong was writing a letter in the study, and when he saw Chen Caozhi coming at this time, he said happily: "If you don't come again, Lao Dao can't wait, and he is about to leave a book to say goodbye to you——"

Chen Caozhi asked in surprise: "Where is Master Ge going?" ”

Ge Hong said: "The old way wants to go back to Lingnan." ”

Ge Hong has lived in seclusion in Luofu Mountain in Lingnan for more than 20 years, and now he doesn't know why he has to travel thousands of miles to Lingnan. ”

Ge Hong said: "Three years at most, one year at least." ”

Chen Caozhi was saddened, and said compassionately: "The boy Meng Ge Shi will not give up, he will always serve left and right, he will be taught more, and he will be attached to Master Ge like a father, once he travels far away, how can he be embarrassed!" ”

In Ge Hong's eyes, Chen Caozhi is also like his children and grandchildren, now seeing Chen Caozhi's true feelings, his heart is also very moved, and he comforted: ", life parting, since ancient times, you don't have to be too sad, and listen to the old way, you are famous in September Jiuqi Yunshan Yaji, I already know, this is the beginning of your life change, but you want to be among the high-level nobles, it can be said that the road is blocked and long, and it is reluctant!" ”

Saying that, Ge Hong handed over the two letters written on the case to Chen Caozhi, and said: "This is the letter from the old Taoist to Wu County Taishou Lu Na recommending you, and the other is written to Xu Zao, a doctor of Chinese studies in Wu County, the old Tao and Xu Chengzhi, the father of Xu Zao, have an old relationship, you can take the letter of the old Tao to Wu County to see Dr. Xu, worship him as a teacher, Xu Zao Confucianism and Xuantong, rich knowledge, its wonderful solution "Zhuangzi", the old way is not as good, and the most important thing is that Xu Zao is proficient in Luoyang Zhengyin, you are a southerner, you will not know Luoyang dialect, in the future to Jiankang, you will be made fun of by Wang, Xie These northern scholars, You must study - also, the collection of books in this Taoist courtyard, except for the manuscripts and Taoist scriptures written by Lao Dao to be taken away, the rest are left here, you can come and borrow them at any time, there are two Taoists left behind in the Taoist courtyard, and Lao Dao has ordered them to ......"

Chen Caozhi listened to Ge Hong's words one by one, and tears dripped on the placket of his robe.
