Chapter 157: Seeds
"Sir, let's go inside, they're all waiting for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chiyun walked over with a dung bucket, "Master." ”
Mr. Lin listened to the familiar voice, and took back his steps, and when he turned his head, he saw Chiyun dressed in coarse clothes, holding a dung bucket in his hand, exuding bursts of stench, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
"Commander Chiyun, what are you?"
"Mrs. Lin, why are you here?" Chiyun was also surprised to see Mr. Lin.
"Hehe, I'm explaining to you later, I'm a groom now, and there's nothing wrong with Chiyun being a farmer" Yan Qinchang smiled, not like he looked deserted in Kyoto.
After hearing this, Mr. Lin also felt reasonable, so he didn't say anything more and strode into the courtyard of the Chu family.
"Mu Jue, why are you here?" As soon as Chu Xinyun entered the house, he saw Mu Jue sitting on a chair drinking tea.
"Yue'er, you're back, sir?"
Before Mu Jue could reply, he saw Bai Rou hurriedly stand up and keep looking behind.
"Mother, what are you anxious about, brother?"
"Your sister-in-law went to call him, I'll be back later."
"Oh."
Mu Jue put down the teacup and coughed lightly, "Yue'er, which gentleman are you invited?" ”
"Mu Jue, I'm really sorry, I'll leave you aside, I'll invite Mr. Lin." Chu Xinyun smiled slightly, with a little apology.
"Mr. Lin?"
Mu Jue was a little surprised, he had seen Mr. Lin as early as when he was studying, he had a strange temper and was uninhibited, although he was knowledgeable, but he rarely educated people, and he really didn't understand that Dean He was willing to raise this gentleman.
"It's the old man, Mu Jue, do you have an opinion?"
At the door, he heard a voice that he hated, Mr. Lin didn't have a good impression of a sanctimonious person like Mu Jue, and his attitude towards him was also angry.
"Sir, what are you talking about, how dare the student?" It was the first time Mu Jue saw such a clean Mr. Lin, who was usually sloppy, but he didn't expect him to be so clean now, with the fragrance of books, which was really a bit surprising.
"Students? You are my student, Mu Xiucai is really tormenting the old man. Mr. Lin didn't seem to hear his flattery, and stood there with a cold face.
Bai Rou and Chu Xinyun's mother and daughter stood there with embarrassed expressions, and they didn't understand why they had become like this.
"Uh...... Mr. Lin, my brother hasn't come back yet, do you want to wait in his room? Chu Xinyun stood there, turned her eyes, walked in front of him, and said respectfully.
"It's fine, lest the air here be unfresh." After speaking, regardless of everyone's faces, he turned around and walked out.
"Qin Chang, you go and lead the way." Seeing him go away, Bai Rou hurriedly ordered Yan Qinchang to follow.
"Yes, ma'am."
Yan Qinchang saw that Mu Jue was also here, his face was also a little unsightly, and he glanced at Chiyun meaningfully, and Chiyun nodded lightly.
"Sir, wait for me."
Yan Qinchang followed behind and followed with a step.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little soothing, Bai Rou smiled lightly and said to Mu Jue: "Child, drink tea." ”
"Okay, thank you, aunt." Mr. Lin has been unpleasant to his eyes for a long time, and he doesn't understand why.
"Yue'er, you accompany him first, I'll go to the kitchen to cook, Mu Jue likes the lotus root noodles and pork ribs I make the most." After Bai Rou finished speaking, she rolled up the sleeves on her wrists and walked to the kitchen.
Chiyun saw that there were only two people left in the room, and he also sat down and drank tea, listening to the two of them talking on the side, interrupting them from time to time.
Mr. Lin and Yan Qinchang were sitting in Chu Xinhai's room drinking tea, and they obviously felt that the atmosphere between them was not right.
"Sir, what's the matter? Doesn't seem to like Mu Jue very much? ”
"Huh, he? A sanctimonious hypocrite, nothing worth mentioning. ”
At the mention of Mu Jue, Mr. Lin's face was a little ugly.
Yan Qinchang wanted to ask a few more questions, but he heard Chu Xinhai's voice sound from outside the door.
"Qin Chang."
"Mianhai, this is the gentleman Yue'er invited for you."
Yan Qinchang stood up and sat down for him to introduce.
"Courtesy, sir." Chu Xinhai saluted respectfully, although he had been stupid for a few years, but the basic etiquette, Chu Xinyun had already told himself.
Mr. Lin touched his beard, and his cloudy eyes looked Chu Xinhai up and down with a glimmer of light, his appearance was dignified and his temperament was extraordinary, but he was more noble than those noble sons and daughters in Kyoto.
It's also a manufacturable material, and he kept nodding.
"Hmm...... Have you ever been literate? What books have you read? Mr. Lin sat on the chair, picked up the teacup and took a sip gently.
"This ...... To tell you the truth, I was stupid for a few years and couldn't read, but it was only in the past year that my sister taught me to read, and I also learned a thousand words. ”
Chu Xinhai opened his mouth a little embarrassed, and his heart was a little up and down, afraid that he would give up on himself because he was a fool.
"Oh?" Although Mr. Lin was suspicious, his eyes looked at Yan Qinchang beside him, wanting to ask if it was true or not.
Seeing this, Yan Qinchang nodded lightly.
Seeing this, Mr. Lin hesitated slightly, raised his eyes to look at Chu Xinhai, who was nervous, and there must be something outstanding that could make the prince favor.
"Since you are so determined, then the old man will accept you."
"Really?" Chu Xinhai raised his head and looked at him in disbelief, his uneasy face changed to joy, and Liu Jing also stood beside him, holding his arm, with the same joy.
"Well, but I have one condition, and the place of teaching is up to me." Mr. Lin nodded affirmatively.
Mr. Lin is like this, since he has agreed to teach, he will definitely teach well.
"Yes, listen to you." Chu Xinhai hurriedly agreed.
"Well, that's good, you guys go out first, I have something to say to him, besides, I'll eat here for lunch, don't call me if Mu Jue doesn't leave."
said to Liu Jing.
"Yes." Liu Jing bowed slightly, and walked out, and Yan Qinchang also followed behind.
The two of them were the only ones left in the room.
"Chu Xinhai, you kneel."
Chu Xinhai didn't know why, but he still obeyed the order and knelt on the ground.
"Today, in the name of Confucius, I teach and educate people, and when he is named on the gold list, he will definitely serve the imperial court, and you can't hide things that pervert the law, and you can't do things that are disloyal to the emperor, can you do it?"
Mr. Lin had a straight face and looked at Chu Xinhai who was kneeling on the ground expressionlessly.
Hearing this, Chu Xinhai put away the smile on his face, knelt on the ground respectfully, straightened the expression on his face, and raised three fingers in his right hand.
"In the name of Confucius, I will definitely keep in mind the teachings of Mr.
Every word and sentence is sonorous and powerful, shocking and soul-stirring.
"Well, don't forget your words today." Mr. Lin nodded with satisfaction, walked up to him, and helped him up.
"You sit down first." Mr. Lin touched his beard and sat down in front of him.
"These are the books I prepared yesterday, you have to take a good look at them tonight, and tomorrow I will ask questions, and you can understand as much as you can."
Chu Xinhai looked at the books on the table, his eyes gradually blurred, covered with a layer of mist, for so many years, Chu Dacang would only scold himself, and never taught him to read and write.
Now I can touch the book in the open, with a little excitement in my heart, and my eyes are also misty, and I am stroking the book in my hand over and over again.
"Thank you, sir."
"Well, study hard, your sister told me once that you will definitely get ahead, you must not lose her face." Mr. Lin touched the beard on his chin, thinking about the stubborn little face in his mind.
"Hehe, Mu Jue, eat quickly, you're welcome, this is what you like to eat." Bai Rou gently picked up the chopsticks and picked up the wine-stuffed meatballs he liked to eat, and put them in Mu Jue's bowl.
Looking at the balls in the bowl, Mu Jue smiled, "Thank you, aunt, I haven't tasted your craft for a long time." As he spoke, he picked up a pair of chopsticks and put them in his mouth to chew, leaving a fragrance on his lips and teeth.
"If you like it, eat more." Bai Rou smiled lightly and put other dishes in his bowl.
"Strange, how did you see Mr. Lin?" Chu Xinyun looked at Liu Jing suspiciously.
"Mr. and Mianhai ate in the room, didn't come out, and went straight to class after eating." Liu Jing glanced at Mu Jue without a trace, and his words were not too straightforward.
"Oh."
"Yue'er, look at why you don't eat, eat quickly, I remember that you like to eat meat the most." Mu Jue saw that her bowl was empty, so she picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in her bowl.
Seeing this, Yan Qinchang squinted his eyes slightly, picked up a piece of fish meat and put it in the bowl, "Yue'er has been unwell these days, so she shouldn't eat too greasy, this meat is still for Chiyun to eat." ”
After that, she stretched out her chopsticks and sandwiched the meat of Mu Jue's marriage to Chu Xinyun from her bowl into Chiyun's bowl, with a hint of disgust.
Seeing this, Chiyun paused the chopsticks in his hand, looked at his own prince with a bitter face, and secretly complained in his heart.
I don't like him for picking up vegetables.
Forced by his obscenity, he didn't dare to say much, so he had to swallow it silently.
"Uh...... Hehe, Mu Jue eat quickly, Yue'er's body is not refreshing these days, it is indeed not suitable for eating greasy, you are welcome, eat quickly. ”
Bai Rou talked on the side.
"Hehe, it's my negligence, rashly picking up vegetables, it's not mine, Yue'er, don't you mind." Mu Jue's hand on the table shook it, forcibly suppressed the displeasure in his heart, and pretended to ease the atmosphere.
Bai Rou saw Mu Jue's mind like this, and couldn't help nodding.
"It's okay, it's okay." Chu Xinyun smiled slightly, turned his head and glanced at Yan Qinchang, with a threatening look in his eyes, asking him to stop.
Yan Qinchang really wanted to see it, and still went his own way, Mu Jue took the vegetables away, and stuffed Chiyun on the side for various reasons.
The meal was also 'delicious', and seeing that in the afternoon, Mu Jue put down the teacup and was about to get up and say goodbye.
"You're leaving?" Bai Rou looked at the sky outside and wanted to stay with him for a while.
"There are other things going on at home, so I'll bother you another day." Mu Jue said and bowed.
"In that case, then I'll send you." Seeing this, Chu Xinyun didn't hold back too much, and made a gesture of please.
When I walked into the courtyard, I heard the sound of reading aloud from Chu Xinhai's room, which had a bit of charm.
After Mu Jue heard this, he looked sideways in the direction of the room and couldn't help but smile.
"Mianhai really has a bit of the momentum of a scholar, and it will definitely be unlimited in the future." Mu Jue said flattering words, and looked at Chu Xinyun behind him.
"Hehe, no matter what happens to my brother in the future, it's always good to read some books." Chu Xinyun smiled.
"Hmm." Mu Jue nodded and walked towards the door, "Brother Qin Chang doesn't seem to like me very much. ”
"He's like that, he often glares at others, don't care." Chu Xinyun also secretly slandered in his heart, after all, he was his friend, no matter how bad it was, he had to defend it, right?
Mu Jue glanced at the end of his eyes, and then looked at the surrounding vegetable fields, wild vegetables were in groups, green, and the vista was very beautiful.
"Did you grow these wild vegetables?"
"Well, it's just a breadwinner." Chu Xinyun also followed his gaze to the wild vegetable field.
"Are there only wild vegetables?"
"Well, I wanted something else, but I didn't know what to plant." I have thought more than once, the wild vegetables are not very long, and they can't be sold after autumn, and I still think that some winter vegetables are good.
