Be a master through ancient times

After the Lu Ming banquet, Chu Ci and other new imperial examination candidates were received by the governor's yamen and the magistrate's yamen.

The magistrate was a little unnatural when he saw Chu Ci. After all, Chu Ci was arrested and imprisoned by him last year, but this year he became his guest again.

But the people in the government have always been good at dancing, even if there is a gap in their hearts, they can stir up the atmosphere.Chu Ci didn't take it seriously, after all, the original owner was not wronged by him, and the fraud in the imperial examination was a major case, so he just fulfilled the responsibility of the magistrate.

Moreover, he is still just a small juren now, if he wants to smack his nose against a fourth-rank official based on this little achievement, that would be a little tender.

Zhu Tixue had already rushed back from other provinces.As a province, he was studying, so he naturally wanted to go to other provinces to be the deputy chief examiner.

During the dinner, he shared such an interesting story with everyone. He said that on the way back, he met the deputy chief examiner of Ludong Province, and the deputy chief examiner dragged Zhu Tixue and let out a long sigh.Zhu Tixue didn't understand what was going on at first, but later found out that when he was grading papers, he insisted that Chu Ci had studied in Eastern Shandong Province, but he didn't know it when he asked, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Everyone laughed. Since ancient times, talented people have always been looked up to by others. Nowadays, even the provincial officials in eastern Shandong Province, who have a large imperial examination, are optimistic about Chu Ci, which shows that he is really a talent.

"Mo Tixue, you have done a great job in cultivating the local style of study. I would like to offer you a toast." Zhu Tixue first praised Chu Ci for his mastery, then suddenly raised his cup and said to Ganzhou Prefecture Tixue Mo Huaigu.

Mo Huaigu stood up immediately, raised his glass with both hands, and said, "My lord, I'm sorry I don't agree with you. Everyone knows that you were the official of the Ganzhou government before you took office. If it weren't for your earnestness before Jiaohua, how can the Ganzhou government have a clear and simple style of study, and even take the lead and produce a Xie Yuanlang? Now you are promoted to Zhengti School, and I am a latecomer. I am really ashamed. This cup, should I respect the adults." After finishing speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Other Fu Tixue and Juzi also stood up and toasted Zhu Tixue.

While drinking, Chu Ci thought, the words of growing old and becoming fine are really right, Zhu Tixue is so happy to say these words.Thinking about it, as long as he is in office, the resources of Ganzhou Prefecture will be the best, and the resources of Yuanshan County in Ganzhou Prefecture will be even better.

This can be regarded as his contribution to his hometown with his own strength, right?

After the banquet, Chu Ci stumbled back to the mansion with Xu Zheng. During the banquet, the two did not communicate much, which was what Xu Zheng meant.He said that if the two of them communicated frequently during the banquet, and then the name of the professional teacher was made public, it would be suspected of overwhelming the host, which would not be beautiful.

Chu Ci agreed at the time, but he felt in his heart that he still had a long way to go in his official career.

The carriage staggered all the way and arrived at the Xu Mansion.The groom drove the carriage in through the back door, and then stopped near the Qiushuang courtyard, and the carriage would not be easy to go any further.

With Xu Mu's support, Xu Zheng got out of the carriage, looked back at the carriage helplessly, and said, "I'll go in by myself, there's a little drunk inside, you help him into the yard first, let the servant girl take care of him, and then Just go and rest yourself."

"Yes." Xu Mu agreed, then entered the carriage, and helped Chu Ci up who was stupefied with drunkenness.

At the Luming Banquet last time, there were literati at the table, and the wines they drank were all wines with nice names, such as Plum Blossom Winter Snow, Summer Bamboo Green and so on.This kind of alcoholic has a reputation for alcohol, but his strength is very low. Even though Chu Ci is Xie Yuanlang, many people toast him, he is only slightly drunk.

This time the banquet was full of officials, and they drank Nurhong and the like. Although the strength was not as good as modern wines, Chu Ci was still overwhelmed by the soup after a night of drinking, and came back drunk all the way.

Xu Mu gritted his teeth and walked all the way to his yard with the limp Chu Ci.Unexpectedly, when the cold wind blows, it wakes up the drowsy Chu Ci.He opened his eyelids and saw that it was getting dark, and muttered that he wanted to sleep, so he began to struggle and play tricks, refusing to leave, insisting on sleeping here.

Xu Mu's stature is not tall, and his strength is naturally inferior to that of a drunk person. After several pulls, not only did he not pull Chu Ci up, but he made himself sweat profusely.

"My good young master, get up, you'll be in the courtyard soon, let's go back to sleep again?" Xu Mu almost called him ancestor.

Chu Ci pushed his face away in disgust, and Gu Zi slept soundly.

Xu Mu really couldn't move him, and he was afraid that it would be too long, Chuci was caught in the wind and cold, so he gritted his teeth and ran to the night duty station in the mansion, thinking of calling two more people to come over and carry him back.

After Xu Mu left, Chu Ci lay on the ground alone.A gust of cold wind hit him, and he shivered a bit, then he fumbled around, trying to pull the quilt cover.

Unexpectedly, the quilt was not touched, but Chu Ci felt light on his body, and a pair of big hands picked him up from the ground and hugged him into his arms.Sensing the warmth, Chu Ci couldn't help pressing his face against it, sighed comfortably, and couldn't help rubbing against the warm "wall" in front of him.

……

"Young Master Kou, what's wrong with Young Master Chu?" Xingzi was a little afraid of Kou Jing, but when he saw him go out for a while, he hugged Chu Ci back, she couldn't help worrying, so she plucked up courage and asked.

"It's nothing, it's just drunk. You go get a basin of hot water and wipe him off."

Xingzi hurriedly nodded and went out.

He arrived in the evening, because the time for the grand tourney is approaching, so he has become more and more busy recently.The congratulations on the title of the Chu Ci Guibang, which was agreed before, has been delayed again and again.He finally had free time tomorrow, and he couldn't stay for a moment, so he came over after an errand.

Unfortunately, the prefect had a banquet today, so he could only wait in the mansion.In this way, Xu Qiaonan took advantage of it. He dragged Kou Jing to make gestures until it was dark, and then went back contentedly with his injuries.

Kou Jing was fidgeting in the room, seeing that they had not returned for a long time, she decided to go out to pick them up.Not long after he walked out of the yard, he saw something wriggling on the ground in front of him. He took a closer look, strode over quickly, and picked up the person who was groping around on the ground.

"Young Master Kou, I brought the water, you put the young master down, let me wipe it for him?" Xingzi brought the water, and it was a little strange that Kou Jing was standing there holding Chu Ci.

"I can't let it go." Kou Jing was a little helpless, maybe the bed was not warm, and as soon as Chu Ci touched the bed, he pulled hard on the arm he was holding, and hummed dissatisfiedly.

"Then what should I do?" Xingzi felt that she couldn't help Master Chu wipe off his hands.

Kou Jing thought for a while, found a chair and sat down. Chu Ci lay in his arms, perhaps feeling more comfortable, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a dimple.

"Give me the veil."

Kou Jing saw that Xingzi wrung out the handkerchief and was about to wipe it off Chu Ci's face. He blocked it with his hands unconsciously, and then said.

Xingzi didn't dare to refuse, so she had to hand the handkerchief to Kou Jing, and watched him gently wipe Chu Ci's face.Just as light as when she was about to wipe Grandpa's favorite bottle.

He obviously had a serious and serious appearance, but he was extremely careful at this moment. This somewhat disobedient appearance became very harmonious because of the tenderness in his eyes.

Kou Jing wiped his face, neck and hands for him, and then wanted to help Chu Ci take off his dirty clothes.After he undid the two buttons, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when he looked up, the little girl Xingzi was still standing in the room looking at him curiously.

"You go out first." Kou Jing ordered.

"Oh." Xingzi replied, walked out with some regrets, and gently closed the door behind her.As for what she regretted, she didn't quite know.

Kou Jing took off Chu Ci's coat, carefully helped him take off his shoes and socks, then carried him to the bedside, and put him down.

Chu Ci's middle coat was slightly pulled up, and his exposed waist suddenly touched the silk quilt, and he couldn't help shivering from the cold.He immediately stretched out his hands to wrap around Kou Jing's neck, refusing to go down no matter what, if he wanted to pull it hard, he would utter a strange scream again.

Kou Jing gritted her teeth, she had to sit on the head of the bed first, let Chu Ci sleep on top of him, then pulled the quilt to wrap Chu Ci who was only in her middle coat.

Chu Ci was warm from top to bottom, sighed comfortably again, and then fell into a deep sleep.

……

When Chu Ci woke up, his head was still aching. He had just yelled "headache" twice when he pressed a hand on his temple and kneaded it gently.

He subconsciously thanked him, and then suddenly felt the body under him rising and falling with his breathing, and his whole body froze.No wonder he dreamed of taking a boat all night, wouldn't he be jumped by a fairy?

Chu Ci exclaimed, then bounced off the man, almost falling off the bed.Fortunately, Kou Jing grabbed him with a big hand and hugged him back again.

"Brother Ci, it's me." Kou Jing hurriedly identified himself.

"Kou Jingjing?!" Chu Ci recognized Kou Jing's voice, and blurted out the name he had been calling secretly in his heart.

Kou Jing: "..."

Chu Ci: "..."

The two looked at each other, and after a dead silence, Chu Ci climbed off Kou Jing, lay on the side with the quilt rolled up, and then muffled "I'm sorry" from under the quilt, Chu Ci suddenly felt that Xie Yuan Lang's demeanor has been completely lost by him at this time.

Kou Jing suddenly smiled, his smile was very bright, the corners of his eyes were curved, his lips were raised, he always had a shallow smile, this time he suddenly smiled, making him look younger and more energetic, but unfortunately Chu Ci was hiding under the quilt ,I did not see it.

He has always known that Brother Ci has a temperament like a little fox, cunning and intelligent, but he never thought that he would always call him that in his heart.

Kou Jing didn't feel offended at all by being called by her first name, but felt that it was a sign of Chu Ci's closeness to him.

"Farewell brother, it's okay. Brother Wei, why would you worry about this matter? After you were drunk last night, it was so inconvenient, brother Wei will sleep with you, it's fine."

Kou Jing leaned down and lay on the raised part of the bed, comforting her in a low voice.Of course, if there was no smile in his words, I'm afraid Chu Ci would be more natural.

The embarrassment of waking up in the morning continued until breakfast time.Chu Ci first confessed to his husband and his wife, and then sat down to eat under the teasing eyes of the two.

After Xu Mu came back from looking for someone last night, he didn't see Chu Ci and looked around. Fortunately, he ran into Xingzi who came out to fetch water, and only then did he know that Chu Ci was carried back by Kou Jing.

So early in the morning, after Xu Zheng asked, Xu Mu honestly explained how Chu Ci stayed on the ground yesterday and how he was carried back by Kou Jing.

Kou Jing didn't think there was anything wrong. When she ate something delicious, she would take some serving chopsticks and put some in the Chuci bowl.

Chu Ci was fidgeting, always feeling that the gentleman's man-ru-feng-ru-feng-man-setting that he had maintained so tightly was about to collapse.Fortunately, Xu Qiaonan's arrival rescued him.Because he released a big news as soon as he came.

"Grandfather, grandmother, I want to join the army with Uncle Kou Shi."

Everyone looked at him in surprise, including Kou Jing herself. After all, Xu Qiaonan didn't say that he was going to join the army yesterday.

"Grandfather and grandmother, I thought about it for a long time yesterday. My grandson, I am not as powerful as the older brothers above me. I have always been incompetent. If I hadn't come from a better background, I am afraid that even beggars will dislike me when I walk on the road. Yes. When I was in Chuzhou Mansion, some people secretly said that I was the second generation ancestor of a playboy. In this Yangxin Mansion, people still call me that."

He had a sad face on his face: "Grandson doesn't want to be looked down upon by others all the time, and he doesn't want to be shadowed by his grandparents and brothers all the time. I really can't do it all the way to study, but I am full of yearning for defending my family and the country. Please grandparents."

He knelt down in front of the table and looked at Xu Zheng expectantly.

Xu Zheng's face was not moved at all: "Who helped you think of the words this time? Ah Wen or Ah Wu? You have an idea every day, and a few days ago you said that you want to be a hero, and wander around the world relying on a few sets of self-created boxing techniques , How did you become a soldier again?"

Xu Qiaonan stopped pretending, and got up from the ground with a smile: "The grandson just said, if my grandfather won't let me go, I will also sneak away. My grandson is 16 years old this year, and it's okay to put it in someone else's house." I have to be self-reliant. Ever since Kou Shishu showed his hand last time, my grandson has admired him very much. After returning to the room, I also read a lot of books and learned about some things about the military camp."

"I really want to be a soldier!"

Xu Zheng stared at Xu Qiaonan with sharp eyes, seeing that when he said this, his slightly youthful face was no longer casual and full of solemnity, so he knew that he was really interested.

"Go if you want." Xu Zheng didn't speak yet, but Mrs. Xu spoke first.

"lady?"

"When the child grows up, he can't stay at home all the time. The Xu family has never had a dude. Let him stay at home and don't go out to practice. One day he will get into trouble. It's better to let him experience it. The world is suffering. It happened that I met Marshal Qi, so Mr. Kou was in a difficult situation. I will write a letter later and ask Mr. Kou to pass it on. Take him with you when you return to the camp today."

It was only then that Chu Ci knew that Mrs. Xu, who looked gentle and kind and never spoke loudly, was born in the general family.This is too exciting.

"Thank you grandma!" Xu Qiaonan's eyes lit up excitedly. He knew that since grandma agreed, even if his parents objected, it would be useless. It's done!

In an instant, the shocking scene of "drunk and golden armor dancing, thunder agitating mountains and rivers", and the heroic spirit of "the yellow sand wears golden armor in all battles, and if you don't break Loulan, you will never return it" are all displayed in front of his eyes.

Grandpa is going to be a general!

Chu Ci looked at his radiant expression, and at Mrs. Xu, who was smiling and mysterious, and couldn't help but sweat in his heart for this simple nephew.

In his heart, he admired this teacher's wife very much.At the beginning, he thought Mrs. Xu would love Xu Qiaonan like Jia's mother loved Jia Baoyu, but he didn't know that "drowning a child is like killing a child", and blindly protecting him in an airtight manner was the only way to harm him.

As the saying goes: Parents who love their children have far-reaching plans.
