Not only children, walking on the street, many people recognize Chen Guhong. They saluted one after another and called Chen Xianggong. No one regards Chen Guhong as a child anymore.

In this atmosphere, Chen Guhong entered the county government under the leadership of the officials.

Chen Yuan cares very much about the talents from this county, and soon after Chen Guhong came back from the Huangshan Poetry Society, he was found by Chen Yuan, encouraged a few words, and sent some silver taels and some meat.

He also said that this was the concern of the elders and a private gift.

After that, Chen Guhong also went in and out of the county government several times, and made chapters and sentences in front of Chen Yuan, which won Chen Yuan's love. This time I came skillfully, and soon I came to the back office.

In the courtyard, Chen Yuan was dressed in a Confucian shirt, standing tall, in his thirties, very graceful. There was a beautiful woman standing beside her, with a graceful figure, snow-white skin, and she looked very soft.

Chen Yuan was an official in other places, and his wife was frail and sick, so he didn't bring it. This is the concubine's room.

The people in the yamen are called Mrs. Teng.

"The students have met the teachers. ”

Chen Guhong stepped forward to greet Dao, and then said to Mrs. Teng, "Mrs. Teng." Mrs. Teng smiled slightly, returned the salute, and said, "Ziyu." ”

"I'm going to make tea. Immediately, Mrs. Teng said to Chen Yuan.

"Good. Chen Yuanxian nodded at Chen Guhong with a smile, and then said to Mrs. Teng. At this time, there were several seats in the courtyard. Chen Yuan said to Chen Guhong: "Sit." ”

"Sit down. ”

Chen Guhong answered and knelt down.

"Do you know what the old man is looking for you today?" After sitting down, Chen Yuan asked, his face a little straight.

"I don't know. Chen Guhong shook his head honestly.

"I heard that you have recently opened your door to communicate with readers from all walks of life?" asked Chen Yuan.

"Exactly. Chen Guhong still nodded honestly.

"Then do you know that the county exam is in March?" Chen Yuan's tone became a little stern.

Chen Guhong suddenly felt in his heart, but he was worried that the county exam was approaching, and I communicated and met with readers frequently, which affected my studies. couldn't help but feel a little warm, "This county commander is indeed a heart of love for me." Thinking of this, Chen Guhong respectfully said to his elders: "Back to the teacher, just now the student pasted a piece of paper on the door, which said to prepare for the county exam, and closed the door to thank the guests." ”

"The children can be taught. Chen Yuan's face slowed down when he heard this, and he exclaimed.

"Tea!"

At this time, Mrs. Teng turned back, followed by a beautiful maid, holding two cups of good tea. Mrs. Teng successively took tea and put it on the desk in front of Chen Yuan and Chen Guhong.

"Thank you, ma'am. Chen Guhong said.

"You're welcome. Mrs. Teng smiled, and then retreated behind Chen Yuan.

After taking a sip of tea, Chen Yuan's face showed a comfortable look, and after reminiscing, he asked, "How are the chapters and sentences written?"

"Back to the teacher, it was very smooth. Chen Guhong replied.

"That's good. Chen Yuan showed a look of satisfaction, and then exclaimed: "Your chapters and sentences are definitely good, even if they are placed in the general examination and the palace examination, they are also outstanding." As long as you are not negligent, and the examiner of the county exam is an old man, you can definitely pass. But because of this, your goal should not be on the small showman, but on the lifting of people, or even the jinshi. ”

After finishing speaking, Chen Yuan sighed: "The old man was twenty-eight years old before he was admitted to the Jinshi, and his ranking was low, and he Chinese New Year's Eve was two years old today, and he boiled up the county orders of the two places, although he got the official body, but he did not achieve much in the future." If you have talent, the sooner you get into the Jinshi, the future is limitless. ”

"Yes. ”

Chen Guhong didn't have any official status at all, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense in front of the county commander, so he respectfully agreed. After that, Chen Yuan encouraged and nagged a few words, and Chen Guhong listened.

In the end, Chen Yuan ordered someone to prepare some food and sent Chen Guhong away.

Out of the yamen, Chen Guhong kept two catties of pork and a basket of eggs, revealing a leisurely look.

"I have the county commander as a backer, and I have done a good job. Isn't Xiucai still handy?" Haha laughed, Chen Guhong walked while wandering back home.

The brain is born of the primordial spirit, and the mystery is intelligent. is really confident, after returning home, Chen Guhong is impatient to do chapters and sentences, look left and right, idle and have nothing to do, and see that there is a small vacant lot in his own house.

As soon as his brain was opened, he took a hoe to reclaim the field.

"Childe, why did you pick up the hoe?" Seeing Chen Guhong farming, Yuanyuan covered his mouth in surprise.

"Don't you know that cultivating and studying is an elegant thing?" Chen Guhong said dissatisfied, in fact, he was just passing the time.

"Never heard of it. Yuan Yuan shook his head.

"Short-sighted. Chen Guhong snorted, then concentrated on farming, and ordered Yuanyuan to buy seeds, personally carry water, bury rapeseed seeds in the soil, scoop up water, and water the ground spoonful.

One afternoon, the vacant land in the courtyard of the house was turned into a small vegetable garden. Chen Guhong looked very satisfied.

"I want Zhuge Kongming to plough in Nanyang and hug his knees and roar in the mountains and forests, which is really enjoyable. On the contrary, after Liu Bei came out, he died of hard work. It's really not worth it for him. ”

Today's sister and brother-in-law are not at home, and they will come back in the evening. I was also surprised when I saw the fields in the house, especially my sister, who scolded Chen Guhong for a lot of things.

It's almost the words dog and mouse.

scolded Chen Guhong very innocently, so he could talk about it, and he prevaricated with elegant things, so he got through the trick. Keep this errand at home.

In this way, Chen Guhong wrote at the door the words "Preparing for the county test" and closing the door to thank the guests. But he didn't study, he just took farming for fun, and as time passed, the vegetables on the field grew well.

It is green and lush, very strong, and it looks beautiful and delicious, which makes the mouth water.

When the vegetables grew up, Chen Guhong personally pulled out a few plants, ordered Yuanyuan to cook, ate a few bites, and praised the refreshing taste. It's another big pleasure.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed. There are still fifty or sixty days before the county test, and Chen Guhong's family can't finish the vegetables he grows, and many of them are sent to his neighbors by his sister.

Chen Guhong couldn't plant anymore, so he couldn't stay at home. The sun was shining brightly, but it was not scorching. The spring and summer seasons are a good time to go green.

Chen Guhong couldn't bear it, put on a thin Confucian shirt, put on cloth shoes, put on a raw scarf, called the naughty Yuanyuan, brought an umbrella, and went out with some dry food.

Walking in the green, looking at the grass and smelling the fragrance. In this city, it is a place of tacky philistines, and it has nothing to do with going green. Therefore, Chen Guhong's goal is the south of the city.

About twenty miles south of Chengyang Chengxian County, there is a big river. The Great River flows into the sea to the east and is called the Hongjiang River.

You can fish on the riverside, you can float boats on the river, and there are hills nearby, which is really a good place to go for spring.
