Be a master through ancient times

Chuci held a farewell banquet in Youcaoju to see off Mr. Xu, and invited Mr. Qin to come to reminisce about the old days.

At the banquet, Mr. Xu and Master Qin fought openly and secretly, and kept showing off what Chu Ci had done for them.

This one said, "Peaches and plums are all over the world", and the other said, "Geometric spiral diagram", which made Chu Ci, who was caught in the middle, very embarrassed, and he had to use all his strength to calm them down.

Master Qin finally took a step back, after all, the old man surnamed Xu was leaving soon.He pretended to be drunk, and took the lead back to the county school with the help of his servants.

Mr. Xu handed Chu Ci a bunch of keys and said, "This is the key to my yard. If you have nothing to do, you can go there and have a look. It contains the books I have collected for most of my life. Ordinary people do not have this blessing."

He emphasized on the three words of ordinary people.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your kindness, the students will remember it in their hearts, and will never forget it." Chu Ci blew a rainbow fart familiarly, and just about to take the key, Mr. Xu's face sank, and he took it back.

"This old man has never accepted an apprentice, nor has he taught others what he has learned in his life. Now you have learned what I have learned, but you don't even call yourself a master, and you don't even call yourself a disciple. I think I can't do that. People who are full of peaches and plums!"

Chu Ci was taken aback for a moment, it was obvious that you refused to be called master and apprentice, then he suddenly understood, poured a cup of tea immediately, and fell to his knees with a plop.

"Sir, please accept disciple Chu Ci's respect." He knelt down respectfully, Xu Zhengyong looked at him suspiciously for a while, but couldn't find any reluctance in him, so he snorted and went on. Guo Chuci took a sip of the tea in his hand, and let him kowtow.

"On weekdays, I can be regarded as clever, but now I have no eyesight. If others know that I have recruited disciples and come by myself, wouldn't it be a joke?"

Xu Zheng was still a little upset. Although he didn't intend to accept apprentices at first, but he taught so seriously later, didn't he just accept apprentices by default?This bastard didn't move at all, he was really mad at him!

"Mister, please forgive me for being stupid. I always thought that my husband disliked me. Even though I had already regarded you as a mentor in my heart, I didn't dare to reveal anything in my mouth. I was afraid that you would blame me. Today, it is my disciple who took advantage of the situation. How dare I talk nonsense."

"You're smart. It's not too early, you go to the county school yourself, someone will come to pick me up later." Xu Zheng didn't like the scene of the eighteenth handing him off.

"Don't be busy, I have a gift for my husband. I made it myself. I hope my husband will like it."

"What is it?" Xu Zheng remembered the picture from last time.

Chu Ci smiled slightly, and took out something from the bag, a square one, divided into many small pieces, each with a different color, arranged in a chaotic manner, Xu Zheng wanted to curse.

Seeing his reaction, Chu Ci quickly lowered his head, and the moment he saw it, he secretly screamed in his heart, it must be Xiaoyuan and Yu'er who messed up the color of this thing.

"Sir, don't worry, it's up to the disciples." After Chu Ci finished speaking, he twisted the thing quickly with both hands. His ten fingers were long and slender, flying up and down. In less than a moment, he restored the thing, and the color of each side was the same. , It is a square of the same size, which makes people look very comfortable.

Xu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and became interested in Chu Ci's actions just now. He asked, "What is this thing called?"

"Mr. Hui, this object is called Rubik's Cube."

What Chu Ci made was a third-order Rubik's cube, the most common one on the market with nine squares on each side.When he was in high school, the top student in his class also had mild obsessive-compulsive disorder. Once he felt impatient, he would take out the Rubik's Cube that he carried with him and fiddle with it. Every time he solved it, his mood would improve.But what he played was not this elementary level.

"The Rubik's Cube?" Xu Zheng took it, fiddled with it a few times, and when he tried to get it back, he found that it became more and more messy.He could only hand the Rubik's Cube to Chu Ci, and watched him solve it quickly.

"It looked interesting, so the old man accepted it. Remember to complete your homework on time, and you must know that the Leaving Examination is only less than three months away."

"Disciple would like to follow the teacher's instruction!" Chu Ci bowed, then got up, and helped Xu Zheng go downstairs, the carriage below was already waiting.

"Sir, take care all the way, forgive me for not sending you far away."

Xu Zheng was a little drunk, he waved at Chu Ci, and then got into the carriage.

……

Synodic day

Chu Ci took Chu Xiaoyuan and Zhong Liyu out of the carriage and walked directly towards his aunt's house.

Because Shen Xiuniang gave birth here, Chu's mother and Chu Guang are also here now.Chu's mother asked Chu Guang to buy a lot of chicken, duck and fish, and asked the An family to eat with them. Aunt Chu's two sisters-in-law originally complained, but now they wished that Shen Xiuniang could live here forever and raise the child. .

Chu Ci raised his head to confirm that this was the Anjia from his memory, then knocked on the courtyard door, and stood aside, waiting for someone to open the door.

"Oh, Mr. Xiucai is finally here? Come in, come in and have a seat! Peach Blossom, hurry up and make a pot of tea for your cousin of the Chu family!" An aunt with high cheekbones who opened the door saw Chu Ci and immediately yelled , the obvious flattery in the words was about to overflow.

Peach blossom?Chu Ci frowned.He remembered that there were only cousins ​​Xinxin and Cousin Rongrong in his aunt's family. How could there be another cousin named Taohua?

Because the other party was also an elder after all, Chu Ci could only follow her to the main room to sit down.

The well-dressed Tao Hua came out with a pot of tea from the kitchen, and when she was about to walk to the door, she deliberately imitated the girls in the city, moving in small steps, her face shy and timid, looking at Chu Ci's His eyes seemed to be on hooks.

Chu Ci's expression turned cold: "Whether a man or a woman can kiss each other, please respect yourself, don't lean on me again. I have been familiar with the books of sages since I was a child, and I dare not go beyond the rules for a moment."

"They're all relatives, Chu Xiucai, what are you afraid of? Peach Blossom, come here quickly, and pour tea for cousin Chu!"

The girl named Taohua, who was said by Chu Ci earlier, immediately had tears in her eyes, and now she listened to her mother's order, and hurriedly walked towards this side.When she was almost in front of Chu Ci, she staggered and was about to fall on Chu Ci's body. The pot of tea in her hand was about to splash on both of them.

Before long, a small figure stepped forward and pushed suddenly, and the peach blossom fell to the ground on the other side, pouring a pot of tea all over her body, looking extremely embarrassed.

"Don't look at evil!" Chu Ci hurriedly stood up, and then ran out with two small hands.

"Yu'er, it was thanks to you for pushing her just now, otherwise I would have been wronged for nothing today!" Chu Ci sneered.

Lonely men and widows fell into a ball, and their clothes were all wet, sticking together, and it would be hard to tell why.

Chu Xiaoyuan looked at Chu Ci, then at Zhong Liyu, completely confused about what happened just now.Didn't Yu'er push people?Why does my uncle still praise him?

"A Ci, what's the matter?" Aunt Chu heard the voice and walked over from the kitchen.The family settled in the courtyard with two entrances, and Aunt Chu and the others lived in a few wing rooms at the back.This is also one of the capitals that Anjia is proud of, although the yard has been around for decades.

Chu Ci told the whole story of what happened just now, Aunt Chu trembled with anger after listening.

Since she married and settled down in the family, she has always abided by women's morals, served her parents-in-law, respected her husband, loved her sister-in-law, and raised her children.Even though her mother-in-law complained about her, her sister-in-law deceived her to be submissive and often pushed things to her, but she never said anything.But today, her second sister-in-law was too much!

Ah Ci had just received an award from the imperial court, if it was reported that he was contemptuous of women, it would definitely damage his reputation.For the sake of Chu Ci's reputation, the Chu family had no choice but to knock out their teeth and swallow blood, marry that peach blossom, and complied with her wishes.

Her family, Ah Ci, is a dragon among men, with a bright future, what kind of good girl is not worthy of her?If it was destroyed by Peach Blossom, even if she died, she would have no face to see her parents and elder brother underground!

Aunt Chu pulled the coarse cloth tied around her waist, and rushed towards the front yard, picking up An Taohua who was sitting on a chair and crying, and slapped her across the face.

"Usually, your parents are useless, and you are used to being so lazy and ignorant of etiquette! Today, as an aunt, I must teach you what a big girl should do and what not to do." Do!"

An Taohua was stunned by the slap, and her mother was taken aback by Aunt Chu, who had always been gentle and soft-spoken.

After the two came back to their senses, An Taohua cried even louder, as if trying to break through the roof.Mrs. Chen also yelled: "Her third aunt is so temperamental! She beat peach blossoms in front of me, and her parents are not dead yet! Why is it your turn to teach her?"

Aunt Chu scolded: "Just because I am also from the An family, I can't watch her ruin the reputation of the An family! A big girl's family has a foreigner who doesn't want to hide in the room and avoid it. Hurry up and get closer, anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly what she is thinking! You are her mother, and you will not teach her when you are next to her, but I, my aunt, will not teach her!"

"Wow, you Chu Yun! I said you are a hidden traitor. You can't beat a fart with three sticks, but now you speak in a different way! Mother, come out and take a look, this Chu Yun She's going to rebel, she relies on her uncle to go to work in the county and bully me, my sister-in-law..."

Chen clapped her legs and burst into tears, making the word shrew concrete in Chu Ci's heart.

"Oh, second brother and sister, why are you sitting on the ground? There are still peach blossoms, why are you still sitting on the ground with your clothes wet? I look at your little face, ouch, it's all swollen!" A short and fat woman He walked in with a look of surprise on his face.

"Sister-in-law, come and judge! Her nephew from Chu Yun's natal family came to the door, and I invited him in without saying a word, and even made tea to entertain guests. It can be said that I have fulfilled my duty as a host! Who knows that Chu Xiu is not It’s okay to appreciate it, and let that little bastard give my peach blossom a push. That’s not counting, and then this Chu Yun walked in without saying a word, and slapped our peach blossom! My mother feels distressed when I look at that Tell me, isn’t she just relying on my uncle to work in the county government office? She’s almost riding on us!”

Crying with tears and a lot of snot, Mrs. Chen said that the Chu family's aunt and nephew did not know good and bad, and bullied others.

The eldest sister-in-law Yang said with a bit of embarrassment on her face, "Third siblings, this is your fault. Not to mention that there are no nephews and daughters-in-law who are confinement at the aunt's house, and now their whole family is here. The second sibling I also entertained you with all my heart, you just don't appreciate it, how can you beat someone?"
