Chapter 17: The Son of a Great Family

Gui Hui heard Chu Huayi's question and was stunned, as if this was the issue he was most concerned about, and he didn't speak for a long time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chu Huayi was deeply surprised when he saw his expression, and asked again, "Big brother, what's wrong with you?" ”

When he came back to his senses, Fang Cai's distraction made Gui Hua a little embarrassed, and said: "Fang Cai's gaffe, don't blame Brother Chu!" ”

Chu Huayi doesn't care about his gaffes, he can express the helplessness in his heart with piano music, which shows the importance of what is in his heart to him.

Gui Hui asked inexplicably: "Brother Chu, do you think I am beautiful?" ”

Chu Huayi touched the back of his head and said, "Big brother must be beautiful." The entire county town of Cheung Chau knows you. ”

"Hahaha, brother doesn't know, I just look like a beautiful scenery, but I'm actually lonely and helpless!"

"What's the explanation?" Chu Huayi asked.

"My family is one of the big families in Changzhou County, and I am also a disciple of Wangmen. That's why! ”

Guihua's words made Chu Huayi even more difficult to understand, isn't it good to be a famous family? How many people are eager to become the children of a big family, including when they crossed over, they also complained that they were not the sons and young masters of a certain family. Now that I think about it, if I had become the son of a certain family, I would not have the debt of five hundred taels. The status of the dignitary makes Gui Hui worried, what is the reason? Could it be that his ambition is not to be rich but in the mountains, indifferent to fame and fortune?

Chu Huayi asked: "The eldest brother has a noble status, and no one in Changzhou County does not yearn for it, and no one does not envy it. You can be extravagant, you can do whatever you want, what's there to worry about? ”

"Actually, I made an appointment with Brother Chu today, and I wanted to accompany my brother to confide in me. I have been holding back some words for a long time, and since I saw Brother Chu, I have made Brother Wei very happy! "Gui Hua Dao.

What's wrong with Gui Gongzi? Why do you say such strange things? Chu Huayi thought in his heart and said, "I wonder if my brother can know my identity?" ”

"The famous Changzhou Guigongzi, who doesn't know here? If I don't know him, won't my little brother be lonely and unheard? ”

When Gui Hui heard this, he smiled and said: "Brother only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other. ”

Chu Huayi didn't understand, and asked, "What's the other?" ”

"In addition to being a returning heir, Brother Wei is also a Yi Zhensheng."

Yi Xusheng, the famous city Chu Huayi knows, is a special term in the ancient imperial examination system. This is the name given to the students of the county and the state, and the yi is the elegant name of the literati for the county. Commonly known as Xiucai, that is, shengyuan, is the starting point of the imperial examination.

Chu Huayi was even more puzzled, why should he be worried when he became a showman? As everyone knows, how many people work hard for the name of talent?

"If you are a talent, why are you sad?" Chu Huayi asked.

"It is precisely because of standing at the starting point of fame that I am worried about my brother. Throughout the ages, countless predecessors have pursued fame, and eventually they have a half-official position. And I am in Cheung Chau, which can be described as calling for wind and rain, but I still have to embark on the road of fame. Gui Hui said with some sadness.

"And what do you think?" Chu Huayi asked directly, to the point.

"Shine on the lintel, repeat the ancestral industry." Gui Hua said seriously.

"In this way, big brother, you have to take the road of champions! But isn't it a great family for you to come home here? Chu Huayi asked.

"Brother doesn't know that my scenery in Changzhou County is not the result of my family's voice, but my own first place in the children's examination, and I was praised by everyone as the 'future champion'. That's why I'm haggard! I returned home to my ancestors with a lot of talents, until nearly a hundred years, the family fell in the middle, and there was no champion, so the family's expectations for me were too high, and my brother was not settled. ”

Chu Huayi understood that Guihua's sorrow came from the family's high expectations for him, which caused him to be under too much pressure.

He could only comfort Gui Hua, read well, and prepare for the imperial examination.

In the following time, Gui Hui told him the history of Cheung Chau's homecoming.

At the time of the Tang Dynasty, Yizong Xiantong began to return home and ascend to the stage of the imperial examination. Quy Nhon Shao and Thu Nhon Ze opened the door to returning home. Followed by the two of Zhaozong's Gui Di and Gui Yu, as well as the return of Emperor Wai, they all won the top prize. In ancient times, champions had the opportunity to become concubines, and no one in the world did not want to have a relationship with the royal bloodline.

But when he returned home to the Ming Dynasty, he began to decline, although he occupied a big house and guarded a lot of wealth, he was just a small landlord in a place, and sooner or later he would be wiped out! This is also the reason why Gui Hua is worried, he wants to make the family champion again, and shine on the lintel, but he is powerless!

The glory of a family is related to future generations, and it is not something that can be changed by him by painting one person.

He was very depressed and worried.

At this moment, I confided in Chu Huayi, and I felt an unprecedented sense of comfort rising from the bottom of my heart, and I was refreshed!

Take a long breath and finally release the tiredness in one's heart.

Chu Huayi looked at him sideways, still with that handsome face, but it was a different feeling, not as Ling Ran's aura as three days ago.

"Big brother, I really didn't expect you to be under so much pressure?" Chu Huayi said softly.

"Confide in Brother Chu, it's so easy at the moment, maybe this is what I want the most!" Gui Hui smiled.

"Now that I know what is in your heart, should I drink this wine?" Chu Huayi asked with a smile.

"Haha, I just sensationalized and forgot about the wine, come, drink! If you don't get drunk today, you won't go home. ”

"Okay, don't get drunk and don't go home."

In fact, this is just the rhetoric of a drinker, there is a pot of wine on the table, where does it come from not getting drunk and not returning?

The two of you have a glass, and I drink each other, and I only drink wine in my heart, as if what happened just now is like a dream, accompanied by a glass of wine.

A pot of wine, slowly bottoming out. Gui Hui poured a cup of Chu Huayi, and his own cup was no longer full, and he was a little embarrassed for a while. It seems that he is worried about not being able to confront Brother Chu anymore.

Seeing this, Chu Huayi smiled lightly, picked up his wine glass, gently poured half of it into the Guihui cup, raised his glass and said, "Gui brother, respect you." Please! ”

Gui Hui saw it in his eyes and smiled: "Please! ”

Half a glass of wine, the two of them were already six or seven points drunk, and Gui Hui suddenly asked, "Why did my brother go to the drunken guest house to do a fight?" ”

It's really not because of your arrogance that you ordered a table of expensive dishes, and finally I came to pay, but he couldn't say this, and said with a smile: "Because I met Brother Gui that day, I was very happy." When I was drunk, the shopkeeper asked me to go to her, and she turned out to be looking for me. also ordered a table of dishes, but there was no money, so he worked to pay off his debts. ”

When Gui Hui heard this, he said with a smile: "A real penny is difficult for a hero, and Brother Chu actually worked hard for the drunken guest building." "The more I think about it, the more funny it gets.

Chu Huayi saw it in his eyes and thought to himself, you are embarrassed to laugh, if it weren't for the table of dishes you ordered, would I owe five hundred taels? "Sometimes, it's just so ingenious, it's good to get used to it. ”

"Brother, how much do you owe? A few hundred taels of silver? ”

A few hundred taels of silver? How do you feel that this guy knows the price of the food on that table? I was still uncomfortable for him just now, at this moment, this prince is like this, how do you feel that he deliberately cheated himself that day?

Chu Huayi said: "It's not much, it's only five hundred taels." ”

"Then you guess you'll be working there for four or five years."

Chu Huayi thought to himself, can I tell you the truth? Said: "Big brother is serious. ”

Gui Hui laughed and said, "How about that brother and I go to the Humble House to stay for a few days?" ”

Hearing this, Chu Huayi thought to himself, Humble House? Stay? This is too modestly outrageous, a big family, a small landlord, and tens of millions of family backgrounds! I don't feel deeply: the ancient culture is terrible! Said: "Since the eldest brother is graciously invited, how can the younger brother not go?" ”

"Alright, let's go immediately."

The two of them went down the stairs side by side, and they didn't care about the things on the table, someone would clean them up anyway.

After entering the West City Gate, the two of them went straight home.

Chu Huayi doesn't know what will happen in the next moment? It has been some time since I came to the Ming Dynasty, and I have to take one step at a time!
