Be a master through ancient times

Chapter 46 The Hero Is Always Lonely



To make people do things, naturally you can't treat others badly. Chu Ci sent some white hemp to Chen Zifang, and then hinted at the news of the emperor's death.

Chen Zifang was very surprised when he first heard it, but he soon calmed down, thanked him hastily, and went back to his dorm with his things.

Chu Ci picked some white hemp and gave it to Master Qin.He guessed that Master Qin probably didn't know about this matter, at most he knew that His Majesty's body had weakened.

"Teacher, the students came to disturb you again." Chu Ci greeted with a smile, then released his hands and handed the things to Mrs. Qin.

Mrs. Qin looked behind him and found that he came alone, so she asked, "Why didn't you bring Xiaoyuan and Yu'er with you? I have a new candied fruit here, and I asked them to taste it." .Then you can take some with you when you leave later.”

Chu Ci felt that these two little guys seemed to be more popular than him, but after they settled down, they brought them here once, and they gained the love of Mrs. Qin.

But it's true, Mr. Qin's two children are not around all the year round, and the knees are empty. Seeing two lively and cute, Yuxue and smart children, how can we not feel good about them?Even Chu Ci himself, from time to time, would be shuddered by their cuteness.

After Mrs. Qin finished speaking, she was only interested in looking at the things Chu Ci handed over.She has been with Master Qin for many years, and her sensitivity is higher than that of ordinary women. When she saw the white hemp on her hands, she pointed to the sky hesitantly. Chu Ci silently nodded, and she immediately sighed.

"Your husband is not in the academy at the moment, and he will probably come back in the evening. Can you bring Xiaoyuan and Yu'er over for dinner?"

"It's better not to bother my wife. The two of them have recently become obsessed with the new fried small yellow croaker in the cafeteria. They have it again today, and they are eagerly waiting for it."

Chu Ci explained with a smile.

Mrs. Qin was very disappointed when she heard the words. In fact, she can also make fried small yellow croakers!Well, well, maybe I have to learn a little more.

Carrying the candied fruit given by Mrs. Qin, Chu Ci returned to the school dormitory.Today is the first day of March, which is the new moon.Gwangju is the fifteenth day of every month.County schools have to take a day off every lunar month.

He could clearly hear the noise of a fight inside, but when Chu Ci opened the door and walked in, he found that the two boys were sitting on the desk doing their homework.However, upon closer inspection, one could find that Zhong Liyu's hair was crooked, and Chu Xiaoyuan's clothes were also a little messy.It must have been torn together just now.

"Uncle, you're back." Chu Xiaoyuan turned around pretending to be surprised, and gave Chu Ci a flattering smile.

"Uncle Chu." Zhong Liyu also called out sweetly.

"Have you finished your homework?" Chu Ci asked knowingly.

"Uncle, it's still a little short, and I'll definitely be able to finish it before dinner." Xiao Yuan promised.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhong Liyu also nodded.

"That's fine. If you don't finish writing before dinner, you can't eat the little yellow croaker." Chu Ci said with a smile, silenced the two of them for an instant, and then quickly started with the pen in hand.

After all, Chu Ci made a mistake. Even if they finished writing it before dinner, they still couldn't eat the little yellow croaker.Not long ago, the county magistrate notified the news and asked everyone to observe filial piety for His Majesty.The small yellow croakers that had just been fried in the cafeteria had to be dumped on the back mountain, which made it easier for the strong wild cats in the county school to eat, and they didn't have to keep their filial piety.

There was no trace of meat in the dishes at night, not even lard.Chu Xiaoyuan suddenly tasted something homely, and ate happily with a bowl.

Zhong Liyu is small, but loves to eat meat. He has no appetite at all, and he didn't want to see Chu Xiaoyuan eating happily, so he gave him a bowl of rice unknowingly.If Steward Xu sees it, I don't know how relieved he will be.

When Zhong Liyu lost his mother, he was supposed to observe mourning for three years.But his mother cherished it, and said before she died, let him use the month to represent the year, and only keep three months.In just three short months, his face was so thin and sunken.

Sure enough, children still want to play with children.

The two children finished eating, but in the end it was Chu Ci who couldn't eat it himself.Looking at the extra food in the Chu Ci food box, the two primary school students looked at each other in blank dismay, and then they carried Mi Nong tacitly.

Chu Ci swallowed the food with tears in his eyes.Alas, persuading people to be vegetarian will eventually lead to reaping the consequences.

……

Master Qin came back at night.When Chu Ci arrived, he was eating, and there was no meat in the meal, but there was a jug of wine beside him.

Chu Ci was startled, and just about to persuade him, he found out that the flagon was actually filled with water.

"Well, 12 years ago, Your Majesty made a tour to the south. At that time, I was studying in the government school, and I was chosen as the student representative to greet me. At that time, I was lucky enough to see Tian Yan, but my legs trembled, and I almost lost the face of the government school. Your Majesty is a dragon and a tiger He is fierce, and his aura is terrifying. But he is very kind, even for ordinary students like us, he is very gentle. I still remember that His Majesty said to me at that time, "The day you learn the article is the time to serve the court. You students should work hard on themselves and become the pillars of the country as soon as possible', the words are still ringing in my ears, but the man has passed away."

"At the beginning, I was exhausted before I even set foot on the palace test. After all, I failed His Majesty's good intentions. Now His Majesty is going west by crane, and I have no hope of going to the capital to face the Holy Spirit in this life."

Master Qin seemed to be confiding to Chu Ci, but also seemed to vent on his own.Chu Ci sat beside him silently, only pouring a glass of water for Master Qin occasionally.

He can't understand people's family and country feelings in this era, it seems to be more intense and profound than later ones?After all, in the age of endless wars, a person who can lead them to a stable and peaceful life is very important.

Knowing the emperor's death today, he just guessed whether the new emperor who is about to take over is the second prince who issued the "edict of guilt" on his majesty's behalf, or there will be a palace coup and blood will flow like a river?

Other scholars may also feel a little sad, and this kind of sadness usually lasts until the next emperor ascends the throne, as if they have another backbone.

……

The county magistrate summoned teachers from the county school and other academies to go to the county government office to discuss matters.It turned out that when the late emperor passed away, every county had to issue a hundred sacrificial rites a day, burn them and pray for the late emperor to reach bliss sooner.

This sacrificial letter was made in duplicate, one was burned and the other was archived for later inspection.

In other words, there will be no teacher in class for these fifteen days.The county school gave everyone a choice. They could stay and review their homework, or they could go home first. After the national funeral, the new emperor would come again after he ascended the throne.

Chu Ci chose to go home. He first asked Chu Xiaoyuan and Zhong Liyu for leave, and then went to ask Mr. Qin for leave.

Master Qin's emotions were no longer as erratic as yesterday, and he regained his previous calmness and self-control.

"After the new emperor ascends the throne, Enke will be added according to the usual practice. You will have the opportunity to play in August this year. I see that you are not as diligent in your studies as before, so I have assigned you some homework. You take it back and do it well, and you will learn it in the county. On the reopening day, show it to me."

"Yes!" Chu Ci was also very cautious. Originally, he had three years to prepare, so naturally he could take the lead.But now the opportunity is in front of him, and there are only five months left for the home test. He must cheer up and prepare for the test actively.

First send Zhong Liyu back to the Kou Mansion, butler Xu came out to greet them, and earnestly persuaded them to have lunch before leaving.After being gently but firmly rejected by Chu Ci, he asked someone to arrange a carriage to send Chu Ci and Chu Xiaoyuan home.

This saves the matter of Chu Ci, he didn't want to disturb Zhang Fang and the two, so he thought of renting a car from a car dealer.But if they found out later, they would definitely blame him for being too outsider. Now that Butler Xu helped him solve this matter, Chu Ci was naturally grateful.

Zhong Liyu watched the two of them getting into the car eagerly. In just half a month, he had already treated them as family members, and he was somewhat reluctant to leave them.

"Yu'er, remember to complete your homework every day. When you go back to the county school, you have to show it to me for inspection." Chu Ci seemed to have a feeling, and opened the curtain to add.

"Goodbye, Uncle Chu! Goodbye, Brother Xiaoyuan!" Zhong Liyu immediately waved goodbye.

Chu Xiaoyuan snorted in response.

"Xiaoyuan, why do I feel that you are a little unfriendly to Yu'er?" Chu Ci asked on the way.

On weekdays, he observed it and found that Zhong Liyu tended to curry favor with Chu Xiaoyuan more often, while Chu Xiaoyuan was a little ignorant of him.Everyone was there at that time, so it was not easy for him to ask, but seeing him responding to Zhong Liyu like this now, he remembered it.

"Where is it?" Chu Xiaoyuan replied awkwardly.

"It's everywhere." Chuci laughed, "Do you think my uncle treats him too well, and it's a bit tasteful?"

"No way!!" Chu Xiaoyuan's voice became louder, eager to deny Chu Ci's conjecture.

"Okay, okay, no, then why don't you like him so much?"

Seeing that Chu Ci asked seriously, Chu Xiaoyuan said, "I think he's limp, not like a boy, and I don't like playing with him."

A boy of this age admires force, and likes friends who can make troubles, make mistakes and get beaten together. Most of his playmates in the village are like this.

"Xiao Yuan, don't say that about others. Yu'er is gentle and polite, how can you say soft?"

"He is! He doesn't dare to speak when others hide his things, and he dare not speak out when others bully him." Chu Xiaoyuan said with a bit of resentment.

"What's going on here? Why haven't I heard you talk about it?" Chu Ci's expression was serious. It sounded like Zhong Liyu was being bullied by the campus. If he let it go, it would inevitably cause more harm.

Chu Xiaoyuan was a little puzzled, "But, it's okay to call back, why did you tell your lord, it's too embarrassing."

Therefore, when Zhong Liyu just found out that his brush was missing, he would see Chu Xiaoyuan slapping the brush on his desk with a look of disdain.When he was deliberately knocked down by someone, that person would cry and apologize in a blink of an eye.This kind of thing happens often, Zhong Liyu, a little sweet, never realizes that she has been bullied.

After hearing Chu Xiaoyuan's explanation, Chu Ci was a little bit dumbfounded.Well, facing Chu Xiaoyuan who might bully others, Chu Ci didn't know how to explain the harm of campus bullying to him at all.

As I said before, those who can enter the county school Mengtong Hall are the respectable families in the county town. After all, two taels of Shuxiu a month is not something ordinary families can afford.

The children from this kind of family are all white and tender like a little rabbit like Zhong Liyu. At most, they have a domineering personality, but their force value is the five scum of war.

Chu Xiaoyuan is different. He has been mowing grass with a bamboo basket since he was a child, and his strength is much stronger than that of ordinary children.Later, because of the slingshot, he formed a deep friendship with Qin Zhao.In the past, when Chu Ci was not at home, every time Qin Zhao went to Changxi Village, he would play with Chu Xiaoyuan, and he taught him some kung fu.

This kind of Chu Xiaoyuan entered the county school, like a little wolf who broke into a rabbit's nest, everyone could only let him be rubbed and flattened, and they didn't dare to provoke him at all.

The children in the Mengtong Hall are also very wronged. They all live in the school. After getting along for a long time, the relationship is better in secret. Naturally, I don’t like the only exception. Why can they go home when everyone has to live in the hall? ?

They didn't dare to bully Chu Yuan, so they naturally turned their attention to Zhong Liyu.It's a pity that every time they make a move, Chu Yuan will find out and punish them.

Even if I report this matter to my husband, it will not work. They are not very good at lying, and my husband can find out the cause and effect with a little trick.

Chu Ci was a little powerless, he could only tell Chu Xiaoyuan over and over again that if others didn't bully them first, they must not bully others, let alone hit them with a slingshot.You must stand on the commanding heights of morality at all times in order to remain invincible.

Chu Xiaoyuan nodded repeatedly, but thought in his heart: They are not worthy of letting him use a slingshot at all. Maybe, this is what Brother Qin said, heroes are always lonely, right?
