Chapter 268: Entrance Examination

When I arrived at Mrs. Chen's place, the people in the second room had already come over.

Old Madam Chen was asking Chen Xuan'an and Chen Xuanping about their homework. "Are you used to listening to Mr. Yu's lectures?"

The two originally studied in another courtyard, and Xixi went home to study with Chen Xuanxin after the funeral. Chen Xuanxin's teacher was a bachelor-in-waiting student who retired from Guozijian.

Chen Xuan'an replied with a smile: "Mr. Yu gave a lecture to the eleventh brother before he talked about the "University", and there is no problem in keeping up. ”

Chen Sanye and Gu Jinchao came in, the two of them saluted Mrs. Chen, and several juniors saluted them.

Fourth Master Chen was also here, and Gu Jinchao rarely saw Fourth Master Chen in the inner courtyard. He was wearing a royal blue Hangzhou silk straight jacket, although he was nearly middle-aged, but he did not look old, he showed a little delicate, he told Chen Sanye that he went to Baoxiang Temple to visit Chen Liuye yesterday.

"The sixth child now listens to Master Jianming's chanting every day, and he doesn't get fishy, and he seems to be much more energetic. I think he can calm down, it's better to pick him up early, after all, it's almost winter, and the mountains will be more bitter at that time. ”

Chen Sanye shook his head: "I also know that his temperament can't be changed, I just want him to suffer a little, and he knows how to think twice before doing things in the future." Wait for the Chinese New Year to allow him to come back, but the one-year limit cannot be changed. ”

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she instructed Fourth Master Chen, "You send more cotton clothes and silver frost and carbon over, don't freeze him." ”

Chen Sanye comforted her: "Don't worry, there are so many people in Baoxiang Temple that I won't freeze him." ”

Chen Xuanqing and Chen Xuanxin came over to say goodbye.

Seeing that Gu Jinchao and Chen Sanye were also there, Chen Xuanqing was stunned, after Gu Jinchao was pregnant, it was rare for him to come to greet Mrs. Chen so early.

Mrs. Chen asked Chen Xuanqing to sit beside her, and asked him with a smile: "In half a month, you will be married, are you happy?" ”

Chen Xuanqing didn't know how to answer.

He noticed in his spare eyes that Gu Jinchao was looking at him, but in fact, everyone was looking at him, and his answer was even more vague: "...... Sort of. ”

Wang smiled and said, "If you ask again, the Seventh Young Master should blush." ”

Old Madam Chen pulled him to look left and right, and said, "It's really a little blushing!" ”

Chen Xuanqing pursed his lips, wondering where he blushed.

Chen Sanye saw that others were uncomfortable, so he asked him Chen Xuanxin's homework: "...... How are you doing now that you taught your brother? Which article did you learn from University? ”

Chen Xuanqing replied: "I have learned the fifth chapter, this chapter is the key to enlightenment and goodness, and I have asked him to read it carefully." ”

Chen Sanye beckoned Chen Xuanxin to come over: "Come here, my father will test how well you have learned." ”

Chen Xuanxin didn't dare to exceed the rules in front of his father, and stood straight and replied: "...... The five chapters of the right biography cover the meaning of the knowledge of Gewu, and now it is dead. Idle taste to steal the meaning of Cheng Zi, in order to make up for it: the so-called knowledge of the object, the word wants to know the knowledge, in the matter and exhaust the reason, cover the soul of the human heart, there is no knowledge, and the things in the world are not reasonable. However, there is no end to reason, so there is no end to it. ”

"The so-called knowledge is in the object, the word wants to know the thing, and the thing is exhausted. What do you mean? Chen Sanye asked him casually.

Chen Xuanxin looked at Chen Sanye and was a little nervous, and replied: "It's about 'learning things and reasoning'." In the face of the innumerable heaven and earth, we must see the subtlety of a grass and a tree and an insect, and each has its own reason, and the poor reason must have its stage of "accumulation". ”

Chen Sanye smiled: "Don't be nervous, the answer is acceptable." Go back and read the "Commentary on the Four Books" carefully, and write down the gist of what Zhu Zi said. ”

Old Madam Chen pulled Chen Xuan'an: "It's rare that your third uncle is here, let him guide you too." He also said to Chen Sanye, "Xuan'an's "University" is finished, you can also ask him how he is learning." ”

It is a rare opportunity to have the guidance of the third uncle. I heard that when he was in Zhan Shifu, he also participated in the examination.

Chen Xuanan was standing next to him just now, and he didn't understand what Chen Xuanxin was doing in the face of his father's weakness. When he walked in front of Chen Sanye, he felt that his throat was tight, and the third uncle was very gentle to people, but as long as he looked at his eyes, he couldn't help but feel flustered.

Since it was his mother who said it, Chen Yanyun couldn't refuse, and took the words in the sixth chapter: "The so-called sincere one: don't deceive yourself, like a bad smell, like a lustful one." This is called self-humility. You should have read the "Commentary on the Four Books", how to say it? ”

Chen Xuanan said the general meaning in a hurry, but he couldn't tell the truth. He hadn't read "Commentary on the Four Books" either, and his face turned red for a while. Just now, I boasted in front of my grandmother that I could keep up with Mr. Yu's lecture, but now I can't even answer a question from my third uncle......

Chen Xuan'an also knew in his heart that Chapter 6 was about the foundation of honesty and body, which was much simpler than the question that Chen Sanye asked Chen Xuanxin.

Seeing that he couldn't answer, Fourth Master Chen's face was not good-looking.

Chen Yanyun said: "Maybe I forgot about it after studying for too long, just go back and take a look." ”

Chen Xuan'an saw that his two younger brothers were looking at him, and he felt very embarrassed in his heart, and retreated to Wang's side with a red face.

At this time, the girl came up with a few plates of dim sum, and Mrs. Chen beckoned everyone to eat dim sum.

Chen Xuanxin pulled Chen Xuanqing's sleeve and spoke to him in a low voice. A plate of sour jujube cake was placed next to Chen Xuanqing, and Mrs. Chen said to him: "Hand the sour jujube cake to your mother, she loves to eat sour now." ”

Chen Xuanqing didn't look in the direction of Gu Jinchao from beginning to end. Wen Yan sighed in his heart, and had to pick up the plate of sour jujube cake and hand it to her, seeing Gu Jinchao smiling and thanking him, his face reflecting the sun, as white as jade...... He quickly turned his head away. said to Chen Xuanxin: "Then I'll go and see it with you, so that I won't see it for a while." ”

Chen Xuanxin was very happy: "That's okay, let's go now!" Pulling Chen Xuanqing to retire and leave.

Gu Jinchao felt that Chen Xuanqing was weird, thinking that he was still angry in his heart, so he ignored him.

In fact, since she was pregnant, her taste has not changed much, and she still doesn't like sour things, so she is afraid of brushing Mrs. Chen's face, so she eats two pieces.

Chen Sanye saw it in his eyes, and whispered to her: "If you don't like to eat, forget it, don't force ......" put the sour jujube cake aside, handed her a handful of freshly peeled walnuts, and carried the temperature of his palm.

No one touched the plate of sour jujube cake again.

……

When he returned from Old Madam Chen, Fourth Master Chen began to have a cold face.

Wang asked him what was wrong, and Chen Siye couldn't help but start counting her, saying that she didn't teach Chen Xuan'an well.

Wang still listened to him at first, but in the end he couldn't help it, and ridiculed him: "Can you blame me for this!" I said earlier that he should follow his second brother to study in Guozijian, but you refused. I said let him study with Xixi, who was invited by Sanfang, but you refused! I just want to find a husband in the other courtyard to teach him. I rarely see him all year round, how do I know how he learned! ”

Chen Siye sneered: "He is your son, will you not know?" If you can't read well, forget it, and let me lose face in front of my third brother. Don't you even know what I ate at Aunt You's? ”

Wang was not to be outdone: "You even sent bear's paw deer antler velvet to her, can I not know?" You are also a dignified two-list jinshi, the second master and the third master are all officials in the court, but you want to do a copper smell business, you have the ability, why don't you become an official! ”

After hearing this, Fourth Master Chen frowned tightly and scolded her: "Shut up, what do you make the second brother and third brother think when this word spreads!" ”

…… The quarrel made the girls of the Wang family feel weak, and hurriedly withdrew, letting the people around them avoid it.

Wang's eyes were red with anger: "I'm hiding, I'll help you hide everything." The girl and the little guy next to you secretly make a tune, you are ashamed, it's not that I got people out of the house. I feel wronged, and no one can say ......"

Chen Yanwen didn't want to say more to her, so he looked at her coldly: "Do you know in your heart that being a wife is three from four virtues?" The ugliness of the family should not be publicized, you look at you, I can't wait for the whole world to know. I asked Chen Xuanan to study in another hospital, not because I thought he could make a good name in the exam, I was busy outside all day, and you were the only one watching at home. If he doesn't read well, aren't you responsible? Think it through for yourself! After speaking, he ignored the Wang family, went out and instructed the girl to find Chen Xuan'an.

Wang fell on the pillow and began to cry.

After a while, he called Pomegranate to come in and fetch water to wash his face. Pomegranate was very worried, and comforted her: "Madam, don't worry about that girl, everyone is dead anyway." No matter how angry you are with the fourth master, you have to follow him...... The fourth master is so angry, he must have ignored you for several months. ”

Wang only felt that the fog in front of him was vast, and he felt a feeling of being top-heavy, afraid that it was cold.

Covering her sweat towel and sneezing, she turned around and asked Pomegranate, "You say...... Is Baoyue dead? ”

Pomegranate nodded: "I hanged myself, you said that this person is too." At first, I cried and shouted to live, but when I went out, I hanged myself......"

Wang's eyebrows were furrowed, and he somehow felt a chill in his heart.

Pomegranate whispered, "You know that the fourth master holds the most grudges...... Whoever says he has a bad word will remember it for a few years. Don't be angry with the fourth master. ”

Wang nodded unconsciously, and Chen Yanwen's slightly feminine face couldn't help but appear in his heart.

……

Gu Jinchao received a letter from Daxing in the morning and told Mrs. Chen. The second lady and Gu Lian only arrived in Wanping the next day.

Gu Lian came to the Chen family for the first time, but she didn't expect the Chen family to be so big, and the guards guarding the door were not the courtyard, but the guards wearing Cheng Ziyi. Isn't that Jin Wuwei's person, who should serve the emperor...... How could you be on an errand in the Chen family?

Gu Lian wanted to ask Mother Sun who came to pick them up, but she was afraid that she would appear to be uninformed, so she still held back and didn't speak.

The carriage entered the weeping flower gate, but it had not stopped, and Mother Sun explained with a smile: "...... The road to the inner courtyard is too long, so that it will not be difficult for the two of them to walk. ”

The carriage walked along the wide and flat bluestone road, first walked through the rockery stacked with stones of Taihu Lake, there was a clear spring flowing into the small pond from above, and after passing the white marble arch bridge on the pool, only to see a three-entry courtyard in the distance. Driving along the pink wall, the scenery on the road is very elegant, and it is not quite similar to the traditional architectural pattern of Beizhili. 1152
