Chen Xing hesitated for a while and said, "Yun Gongzi is. It's his own choice, if he wants to go back to the capital, he can go back to be the son of the world at any time, I. I'm not the same. ”

Congxi still stared at Chen Xing's gaze, and said word by word: "Brother Chen, since the other roads are impassable, the only remaining road at present should be regarded as your own choice, isn't it?" Just like Yun Xian, during the time you get along with him, in addition to making a living, Brother Chen may be able to learn some other things, or you may benefit a lot. ”

Chen Xing's eyes trembled, as if he was confused, as if he was touched, as if he had scruples, as if he wanted to be naturally obedient, but also seemed to be too unwilling, so he couldn't help but contemplate.

Congxi sighed, glanced at Qu Zaichen and said: "I'll continue to introduce, this is Qu Zaichen, my current . Husband. ”

Chen Xing was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly raised his hand to Qu Zaichen and said, "I've seen it. Qu Er Gongzi. ”

Qu Zaichen nodded slightly, looked at Congxi and said, "Madame has too many ambiguities in her words, which makes Chen Gongzi think too much." ”

Chen Xing was stunned for a moment, not understanding the meaning of Qu Zaichen.

Congxi said casually: "Brother Chen didn't think much about it, it's because you are too careful, I just expressed it accurately, the names of brothers and sisters, parents and relatives are set, and it is difficult to change in a lifetime." But my husband is not immutable, in case you divorce me one day, I can't find another husband? After you divorced me, you don't want to marry a beautiful wife again? ”

Qu Zaichen: "Madam should be really honest, if I don't stop you, you will be able to stop changing your husband?" ”

Congxi blurted out, "I don't need to think about this, do I?" Assumptions that can't be true, why should I waste my mind trying to answer them. ”

didn't wait for Qu Zaichen to answer again, and looked at Chen Xingdao again: "Brother Chen, do you know that Qu Zaichen was an official in the capital before?" He has been a very big official, it's not me who brags about my husband, even if Brother Chen is named on the gold list, you may not be able to catch up with his official rank if you work hard in officialdom for ten years, but he still resigned and returned to Jinzhou to become a businessman, do you know why? ”

Chen Xing glanced at Qu Zaichen, then looked at Congxi and shook his head.

Qu Zaichen couldn't help but look at Congxi, his eyes were slightly cold, and he didn't know what Congxi wanted to say to Chen Xing.

Congxi said: "No matter what the reason is, Qu Zaichen has finally resigned, and he has to resign." There are many people in the officialdom, in addition to the entanglement of official affairs of the court, the people around them are constantly intertwined and emerge from time to time. No matter how good an official is a corrupt official, to survive in the ups and downs of the sea, you must not only have wisdom and intelligence, but also be knowledgeable in personnel, see through people's hearts, and understand the world. It is necessary to have scheming means, when it is done, when it is broken, it is broken.

Otherwise, one step will be a catastrophe, like the former Jinzhou prefect who was just taken away by the Criminal Department, and can only die a tragic guillotine. With all due respect, Brother Chen, you are smart and talented, and you may lack understanding of the world and human affairs, even if you successfully enter the officialdom, the future is still unpredictable.

Moreover, for the performance and promotion of officialdom, it is inevitable that you will fight and fight, and you will live and die. ”

When Chen Xing heard Congxi's words, he was stunned for a moment, lowered his head in contemplation, and did not speak again.

Looking at Chen Xing's flashing gaze, he couldn't help but bow his head and drink porridge, sighed secretly, and said silently, I have said all the things that should be said. Whether Chen Xing can let go of this, concentrate on talking to Yun Xian about his skills, and be a merchant in a down-to-earth manner, depends on where his mind stops.

A few days later, in the afternoon, there is a stone platform in the flower garden of Qufu Garden, more than a dozen pots of flowers and trees are placed on the stone platform, the flowers and trees are of different kinds, the flowers compete to open, colorful, delicate.

Chen Xing stood alone in front of the stone platform, bent over, carefully studied the colors and shapes of each flower, turned slightly from time to time, and raised his eyes to look around. Seeing that there was no one around, Chen Xing suddenly stretched out his hand to pick up a pot of flowers and trees on the far left, and slammed it on the ground, the flower pot fell to the ground and shattered, the potting soil was scattered, and the flower roots appeared out of the soil, which seemed to be undamaged and unbroken. Chen Xing glanced around again, but there was still no one around, so he hurriedly squatted down, picked up a broken pot, and smashed it at the root of the flower plant, and the flower stem broke immediately. Chen Xing threw down the stones, picked up the broken rootless flowers, stood up, and looked around a few times, but there was no one. Leaned over to pick up the flower plants and hurriedly walked towards Youyun Garden.

Chen Xinggang walked to the path next to the small lake in the garden, and met Mrs. Qu, Qu Miaozhi, Sister-in-law Wu, and Ling'er who came towards him. Qu Miaoyi saw the broken flower plant in Chen Xing's hand, immediately reached out and grabbed it, took a closer look at the flower plant, raised his head and shouted angrily: "My Tianyouxiang, why did it become like this?" Qu Miaozhi pointed at Chen Xing and shouted: "You, it was you who destroyed my Tianyouxiang, which lowly thing are you, you are impatient, do you know how expensive my Tianyouxiang is?" You can't afford to pay for it in the next life, you dare to destroy my flowers, you should die. ”

Qu Miaozhi was still angry after scolding, and reached out and pushed Chen Xing fiercely.

Chen Xing was scolded angrily by Qu Miaoyi, his face was full of panic, and he kept retreating, but he didn't realize that he had retreated to the edge of the lake. was pushed violently by Qu Miaozhi, and unconsciously took a step back, and actually stepped on the air. Chen Xing was startled, and in a panic, he couldn't help but open his hand to grab Qu Miaozhi's arm and climb hard. Chen Xing is a man after all, even if he is thin, his strength is greater than Qu Miaozhi, Chen Xing dragged Qu Miaozhi and fell to the lake. Mrs. Qu saw Qu Miaozhi falling towards the lake, and hurriedly reached out and grabbed Qu Miaozhi's other arm, trying to rescue Qu Miaozhi, but below was the strength of Qu Miaozhi and Chen Xing, Mrs. Qu couldn't stand the gravity, and fell into the lake with Chen Xing and Qu Miaozhi.

Mrs. Qu, Qu Miaozhi, and Chen Xing couldn't swim in the water, and immediately struggled and fluttered in the lake, shouting for help. Sister-in-law Wu and Ling'er on the shore couldn't swim in the water, and when they saw Mrs. Qu and Qu Miaozhi falling into the lake, they shouted around in a panic: "Come on, come on, Mrs. and Miss Three have fallen into the lake, come on, come on, Mrs. and Miss Three have fallen into the lake." ”

After half a ring, several servants arrived one after another, and hurriedly went down to the lake to drag Mrs. Qu, Qu Miaozhi, and Chen Xing ashore, and the three of them were already half-full in the lake.

Mrs. Qu and Qu Miaozhi sat on the shore and gasped for half a sound, they all glared at Chen Xing angrily, Chen Xing met the eyes of Mrs. Qu and Qu Miaozhi, lowered his eyes in panic, and just wanted to speak, Qu Miaozhi shouted: "You are so bold, you are really tired, not only ruined my Tianyouxiang, but also dared to pull me down to the lake, I will let you go to see the king of Hades now, and let you go to the eighteenth layer of hell." Qu Miaozhi turned his head to look at the two servants beside him: "Throw him into the water, and you are not allowed to save him again." ”

The two servants hesitated, and looked at Mrs. Qu at the same time, Mrs. Qu took a breath and said: "What to do in a daze, just do what the third lady says, you should let him suffer some hardships, and he actually caused me to drink so much lake water, he deserves to die." ”

The two servants were stunned for a moment, and Qu Miaozhi was furious: "Don't go quickly, you two also want to die." ”

The two servants no longer hesitated and walked towards Chen Xing, Chen Xing panicked and wanted to get up and run away, but the two servants had already grabbed Chen Xing's arms from left to right and threw him into the lake again.

Chen Xing kept fluttering in the lake, shouting for help, and on the shore, Mrs. Qu and Qu Miaozhi watched angrily, indifferent, and only felt a little relieved. Several servants couldn't bear it and wanted to open their mouths to persuade them, but they didn't dare to open their mouths.

Chen Xing's fluttering strength gradually weakened, his head sank into the water, only his fingers flashed on the surface of the lake, and a servant was about to speak, when suddenly the voice of Congxi sounded: "Sister Lan, save people quickly." ”

Suddenly an orchid shadow flashed in front of him, and the orchid shadow jumped onto the lake, reached into the water, grabbed Chen Xing's arm, pulled Chen Xing out of the water, jumped up again, and flew back to the shore in a blink of an eye.

Everyone took a closer look, Chen Xing was in a coma, lying quietly on the shore, Lan Chu was squatting beside Chen Xing, stretched out his hand to check Chen Xing's pulse, and hurried to Chen Xing's side, squatted down, looked at Lan Chu and said, "Sister Lan, how is it?" ”

Lan Chu said: "There is still breath, but he has fluid in his abdomen, and his breathing is extremely weak, so I am afraid that it will be dangerous if he continues like this." ”

Cong hurriedly stretched out his hands, pressed Chen Xing's abdominal cavity hard, and shouted: "Chen Xing, you wake me up, your parents and sister are waiting for you at home, what should they do if you die, Chen Xing?" Chen Xing? ”

Without seeing the slightest effect, Chen Xing's aura became weaker. I remembered that I had heard others say that the person who fell into the water could be rescued by blowing air, so he hurriedly stopped and leaned over, approached Chen Xing's face, and the lip flap was close to Chen Xing's lip flap, wanting to blow into Chen Xing's mouth. Nearby Mrs. Qu, Qu Miaozhi and all the servants were shocked. Cong Ran and Lan Chu reached out at the same time to hold Cong Xi, and Cong Ran hurriedly said, "Sister, I'll come." ”

Lan Chu said: "Let me try first, I may be able to save him." ”

Standing up from the hurriedness, Lan Chu reached out to help Chen Xing sit up, held Chen Xing with his left hand, and hit Chen Xing the back with his right hand. Chen Xing's body trembled violently after being hit, his head was raised high and fell down, and there was still no sign of consciousness. Lan Chu was lucky again, and hit Chen Xing's back even harder, and said hurriedly: "Sister Lan, will you kill it..."
