Chen Kan can't talk about ghosts and gods, and he can't talk about not believing it.

To worship the City God Temple is to seek peace of mind.

However, the peace of the world is the truest thought in Chen Kan's heart.

When he came to Daming, Chen Kan originally wanted to mix up the identity of a scholar doctor, make some small money, and then start to retire for the elderly.

However, Daming is like this in this world.

Everyone is fighting, and if you don't fight, you have to die.

If you really want to dig deeper, it is actually the times that have coerced Chen Kan to get to where he is today.

There is no way, who let Chen Kan, who is accustomed to the life of everything convenient in later generations, come to Daming.

In order to continue to live a salted fish life, Chen Kan had no choice but to turn the world into what he imagined.

Zhu Yuelan's expression was much more pious than Chen Kan's, not only closed his eyes and bowed three times to most of the statues of the old man Chenghuang, but also intimately cleaned up a blank space in the incense bottle and inserted sandalwood on it seriously.

Then they bowed together.

After Zhu Yuelan finished worshipping, Chen Kan took out a handkerchief from his sleeve to wipe the incense ash on her hands, and asked with a smile: "It's just a clay sculpture, why bother?" ”

Zhu Yuelan shook his head: "The City God Temple slanders the City God Lord, beware of the Lord Blame." ”

Chen Kan smiled indifferently, took Zhu Yuelan's little hand and said, "Let's go, don't let them wait." ”

Exiting the Temple through another gate of the Temple, the two of them squeezed through the crowd and walked forward.

Just as he squeezed into the crowd, he heard a commotion in front of him.

"Where did you come from, little bastard, you can't afford to collide with our master, get out."

"Bold, how can you speak?"

The noise reached Chen Kan's ears, and his expression changed instantly.

Because there is a voice in it that belongs to Zhu Zhanji.

Chen Kan hurriedly squeezed through the crowd, and sure enough, he saw a clearing, and Zhu Zhanji stretched out his little hand to stop in front of Hua Shi.

And Hua Shi fell to the ground, with a stubborn expression on his little face, and he held back his tears from coming out.

Opposite the two children were several men dressed as family members, cursing the two of them, and behind them was a carriage.

"You are still bold, I think you are bold, where are the adults of your family, this is the street in front of the temple, how can you be allowed to make a fool of yourself."

Chen Kan finally squeezed through the crowd. and heard the other party's questioning.

You don't have to think about Chen Kan to guess, it must be Zhu Zhanji who ran into the crowd while Fang Xu and Zhang San were not paying attention to pulling the flowers.

"Here, I'm their elder, what's going on?"

Chen Kan took three steps and two steps to Zhu Zhanji's side, while Zhu Yuelan hurriedly pulled up the flower sitting on the ground and asked if he was injured.

And Zhu Zhanji's eyes kept rolling after he saw Chen Kan appear, and Chen Kan wanted to teach him a hard lesson.

And after the other party's subordinates saw a young man come forward to claim to be an elder, they couldn't help but say arrogantly: "Your children are running around on the street in front of the temple, and they almost disturbed our master." ”

As soon as the next person's voice fell, he heard Zhu Zhanji retort: "Obviously, you were riding horses on the street in front of the temple and scared us. ”

As soon as he heard the little fat dun quibble, Chen Kan couldn't help but have a black line.

There are so many people on Miaoqian Street, people can't even indulge in horses even if they want to, this kid can't even make up excuses, what's the matter.

slapped Zhu Zhanji on the head, signaling him not to speak, Chen Kan hurriedly threw his hand towards the carriage: "The discipline is not strict, so that the children in the family collide with Your Excellency, and I ask Your Excellency for forgiveness." ”

"Uncle, why do you want to apologize to him?"

Zhu Zhanji was immediately unconvinced.

But Chen Kan didn't want to be embarrassed here, he just wanted to end this matter quickly.

What's more, an apology won't be a piece of meat.

Glaring at him, Chen Kan turned his head to look at the carriage.

After a while, an old voice came from the carriage: "It's okay, it's just that there are so many people gathered in this temple street today, and it's better to watch at any time if you have children." ”

"Teachable!"

Hearing what the other party said, Chen Kan once again bowed his hand to the carriage, and then pulled a child with Chang Ning and squeezed into the crowd.

Because Chen Kan had already seen Fang Xu's anxious face.

And the person in the carriage, who had never shown up, lifted the curtain after Chen Kan walked away.

It was a very incongruous face, forty or fifty years old, but the gray hair and beard looked like it was seventy or eighty years old.

He stared in Chen Kan's direction, with a look of contemplation in his eyes.

"Sir."

The servant called him, and the old man withdrew his gaze: "Let's go, go and worship the city god." ”

After taking the two little children and Fang Xu and the others together, Chen Kan scolded the little fat boy with his head and face.

Xiao Chubby Dun also knew that he was at a loss, but he stubbornly pursed his mouth and didn't dare to refute.

Hua Shi carefully pulled Chen Kan's robe, and said in a low voice: "Master Hou, I secretly ran out of the street in front of the temple by asking His Highness to sneak out." ”

Hearing that Hua Shi took the initiative to take responsibility, Zhu Zhanji's eyes lit up instantly.

Then he looked at Chen Kan confidently: "Hua Shi has admitted it, why don't you scold him." ”

Hearing this, Chen Kan suddenly had a black line.

Zhu Zhanji also seemed to find that what he said was inappropriate.

Immediately, the girl was ready to escape.

In the next second, Chen Kanpu's fan-sized slap slapped towards his ass.

"Ah~"

On the street, Zhu Zhanji's screams like killing pigs instantly sounded.

slapped Zhu Zhanji a few times, and Chen Kan stretched out his claws to Hua Shi again.

"You are not allowed to play him sloppy in the future, let alone lie."

Hua Shijie slapped Chen Kan a few times, and nodded a little aggrievedly: "Got it." ”

But Zhu Zhanji on the side threw a buddy's interesting look at him.

Chen Kan couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand, and he suddenly found that these two little children had the potential to be faint kings and traitors.

It's okay, if they continue to get along like this, they won't be embarrassed?

"Okay, in a few days I will write to Your Majesty, let Your Majesty put you under my name, and I will teach you to read."

Zhu Zhanji's eyes lit up: "Is it okay not to go back to the palace?" ”

Chen Kan nodded: "Theoretically, yes." ”

Zhu Zhanji's eyes instantly dimmed: "That's not good." ”

Chen Kan pouted: "I will ask Your Majesty to allow you to live in the Hou Mansion." ”

With Chen Kan's current status and reputation in Shilin, coupled with the blessing of Fang Xiaoru's aura as a disciple, he proposed to accept Zhu Zhanji as an apprentice, and Zhu Di would definitely agree.

I didn't mention it before because Zhu Gaochi was in Beijing.

Although Xiao Chubby Dun was raised by Zhu Di and Queen Xu, he is Zhu Gaochi's son after all, Zhu Gaochi does not nod, even if Zhu Di agrees.

But in a few days, Zhu Fatpang will rush to Nanjing.

When the time comes, I will mention it to him, with Zhu Chubby's temper and the friendship between the brothers and sisters back then, he has no reason to disagree.

Moreover, Queen Xu threw the little fat dun on Chen Kan's mansion, and she didn't have the idea of supporting her eldest son.

As we all know, Zhu Di has been vacillating between being the eldest or the second.

But the complete tearing between the eldest and the second child began after the death of Queen Xu.

This is not difficult to remind people of the old things of Zhenguan.

In history, whether it was Li Shimin or Zhu Di, when their queen was alive, the matter of competing for the crown was never brought to the table.

But as soon as their queen died, the prince under them quickly fought to the death, and it is really difficult to be convincing to say that there is no clue behind this.

As for why he didn't let a great Confucian like Fang Xiaoru teach the emperor and grandson, it was because he was inferior.

The Ming Dynasty pays attention to the orderly growth of the people, and now the prince has not yet established himself to find a teacher for the emperor and grandson. It is inevitably misleading to spread the word.

Giving Zhu Zhanji a little hope, Chen Kan turned his head to look at the flowers and asked, "One of the Benhou sects is also a sect, and two are also sects, are you willing to worship under the Benhou sect?" ”

Hua Shi was a little stunned, even if he was young, he knew what it meant to worship under Chen Kan's door.

His face suddenly became solemn, and he was about to kneel as soon as his knees went limp.

Chen Kan's eyes were quick, he grabbed him, and scolded: "Where do you have so many rules for a little child, you go back another day and ask your mother, if your mother agrees, I will let Yuncheng take you to live in the house." ”

Chen Kan has never participated in the imperial examination and has no fame.

The marquis on his head is also obtained by assisting Sheji, so Chen Kan does not have the mentality of a scholar.

What kind of apprenticeship must be carried on the shelf, and the apprenticeship ceremony must be held.

Those metaphysical things, Chen Kan doesn't like.

Fang Xiaoru also did not participate in the imperial examination, and no one questioned his status as a leader of Confucianism.

Therefore, Chen Kan's acceptance of apprentices is so simple, and it is considered to be an apprentice when he says it.

Hua Shi was still a little at a loss, he remembered that when his mother invited him to Mr., Mr. was very arrogant, not only did the Hua family prepare the six ceremonies, but also had to prepare a place for Mr. to eat and live.

Zhu Zhanji broke free of Chen Kan's hand, put one hand on Hua Shi's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Hehe, little junior brother, call senior brother to listen." ”

Hua Shi hesitated a little: "Your Highness, I am older than you." ”

"That's right, but my uncle said to accept me first, and then he will accept you, so you have to call me senior brother."

After listening to Zhu Zhanji's coherent nonsense, Hua Shi looked at Chen Kan with a pleading look.

Then Chen Kan spread his hands very skillfully: "His majesty is respected, His Royal Highness the Emperor is now reading the "Analects" and "The Book of Filial Piety", and has reached the stage of reasoning, you are still in the stage of learning, on learning, you can't compare to him, as for fist and foot kung fu, I estimate that you can't beat him, so ah, it's good to rank a seat." ”

Hua Shi shouted in a daze: "Senior brother." ”

"Huh."

The little chubby dun responded, and immediately burst into laughter.

After such a toss, the time has unconsciously reached the time of the sun.

Seeing that each guard was already full of all kinds of gadgets and snacks on his hands, Chen Kan had no interest in shopping any further.

"Let's go home first, and then go out to visit the lantern festival after eating."

As soon as Chen Kan gave the order, a group of people began to go home.
