Be a master through ancient times

Chapter 98 Quiet Service



The door for leaving is different from the door for entering. The door several meters wide is open for them to go out at will.

Chu Ci walked out with everyone, and suddenly felt like walking on the road to the underworld.Because the students beside him all had black eyes and sloppy footsteps, like groups of ghosts.

Chu Ci felt that he was okay, but he was actually a little weak in his hands and feet, as if he had stepped on cotton on his feet.If he didn't still want to insist on maintaining his demeanor in front of everyone, he would also want to walk out with a hunchback and dragging his hands.

There are many people waiting outside, all of them looking forward to it, their faces full of hope.Generally, as soon as a student steps out of the door, his family will immediately help him into a carriage or ox cart.

If something went wrong and was carried out, the family members would rush up crying.Chu Ci also saw a Xu Shi whose family was relatively poor. When that student's elder brother and younger brother came to pick him up, they carried him back directly.

He couldn't help but think of Chu Guang. If he was waiting for him outside the door, he would probably go away with his back behind his back.

Chu Ci thought while stepping out the door.He was thinking about the agreement with Kou Jing, and was about to find a secluded place to wait for someone to come over, when he suddenly heard Xu Mu calling loudly.

Chu Ci responded, and Xu Mu hurried over and snatched the basket from Chu Ci's hand.

"Young Master Chu has worked hard. Come back with me now. Madam has already ordered the kitchen to prepare hot water and meals. You can enjoy them when you go back. You should take a good rest after using it!"

"Thank you, little brother Xu, but I'm making an appointment with my friends, so it's not easy to go back for a while." Chu Ci refused because Kou Jing asked him to wait for him.

Xu Mu smiled clearly, seeing that Chu Ci was puzzled, he whispered in his ear and said, "There is an old man visiting in the car, young master Chu, don't you want to take a look?"

As soon as Chu Ci heard this, he followed him to the place where the carriage was parked.The carriage was parked outside an alley, and as soon as he stepped into the carriage, a powerful hand stretched out from behind the curtain, grabbed his hand and dragged him in.

Chu Ci staggered, his feet were weak, and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Kou Jing reached out to hug him in time, so Chu Ci fell into Kou Jing's arms, and immediately felt embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, Brother Ci, I was reckless." Kou Jing quickly apologized after straightening him up.

"It's okay." Chu Ci shook his head to express that it's okay, then sat down next to Kou Jing, and stretched without any image.

"After staying in that small room for three days, I felt my whole body was stiff, especially my shoulders and neck, which was so sore. Brother Mo, you are so tall and strong, and this room is too small for you. How did you survive these nine days?"

Chu Ci complained while beating his shoulders.Seeing this, Kou Jing asked Chu Ci to turn his body slightly, and kneaded his shoulder and neck with his rough and powerful hands.

Chu Ci sighed comfortably, and Kou Jingjing's hands were moderately strong, and all he massaged were his sore parts. Presumably, the modern horse killing chickens is at this level, right?

"I was like that too."

"Really? I also feel very uncomfortable. There are still six days to come. It's hard to think about it. By the way, brother Mo, why did you appear on the carriage? I thought you would wait for me outside." Chu Ci turned his back to Kou Jing and asked questions while enjoying his massage.

"I was looking for a hiding place. I happened to see Brother Xu standing beside the carriage. I thought he was waiting for you, so I told him."

Kou Jing once visited Xu Zheng with Chu Ci, and it is normal to know Xu Mu.

"Oh, then why did you show up in the examination room?"

Kou Jing explained to him how the governor dispatched manpower, because he is the chief instructor, so he is much more leisurely than others.If he didn't want to see Chu Ci, so he took over the matter of delivering water, originally he only needed to make overall arrangements.

While the two were chatting, the carriage headed all the way towards Xu's mansion, and finally arrived at Xu's mansion.Chu Ci hurriedly got out of the car to solve major life issues, and then took a shower and changed clothes.Kou Jing went to visit Mrs. Xu with a gift.He originally planned to come with him after meeting Chu Ci.

After taking a bath and changing clothes, he felt much more relaxed. He was trapped in such a small room for three days, and only now could he smell a lot of peculiar smells on his clothes.Presumably, when he was in the car just now, his whole body was rotten, and it was hard for Kou Jing to sit tightly next to him.

After coming out of the inner room, Chu Ci saw that Kou Jing had come back and was sitting at the desk, reading a book in his hand.

Kou Jing turned around when she heard the sound, and saw that Chu Ci's hair was still dripping and came out, so she immediately went to get a cloth towel to help him wipe his hair.

Since there are people serving, Chu Ci will not hypocritically say that he does not need it.On the contrary, the relationship between him and Kou Jing has reached the level of close friends, and they have both slept on their feet, so why are they afraid of rubbing their hair?

After his hair was dry, Mrs. Xu sent someone over to invite him.

The food on the table was not such big meat as Chuci imagined, but some light and delicious dishes.Because he still has two exams to come, he ate porridge for a few days before, and then he ate big meat all at once, which would easily damage his stomach, and it would be bad for him to have diarrhea.

At the dinner table, Kou Jing didn't eat much by herself, but kept sending things to Chu Ci's bowl with serving chopsticks.Chu Ci ate without raising his head, and his chopsticks couldn't reach an inch.

After eating and drinking, the three of them sat on the table and chatted for a while. Chu Ci chatted and couldn't help showing sleepiness.Although he was able to fall asleep in room No. [-], the bed was very hard and short, which was not as comfortable as lying on the bed in his own room.

Seeing this, the two asked Chu Ci to go back to his room to rest.Kou Jing and Chu Ci resigned together.Because it was broad daylight, it was not easy to go to bed, so Chu Ci lay on the soft couch outside, talking to Kou Jing while closing his eyes to rest his mind.

After Kou Jing said a word, she didn’t get a response for a long time, so she looked away from the book and turned to look at Chu Ci, but she couldn’t help laughing. The person who just claimed to close his eyes to rest his mind has already slept soundly up.

He carried a thin quilt from the inside, and gently covered Chu Ci's body, tucking the corners of the quilt around him to protect him from the wind and cold.

He read Chu Ci quietly for a while, then turned his head to read the book again.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside, Kou Jing frowned, put her hands on the table, a kite turned over and went out of the window, and landed lightly on the ground.

"Who are you? Why are you in my uncle's room?" Xu Qiaonan stared at Kou Jing with shining eyes. He just saw that this man was really handsome.

"I am his eldest brother, but you are the young master of the Xu family?"

"Yes, I heard that Uncle Shi is back, and I want to ask him about martial arts."

"Ci Di doesn't know martial arts at all, so please don't make any noise, so as not to disturb Ci Di Qingmeng."

"Are you asleep?" Xu Qiaonan felt a little reconciled, but he also knew that he couldn't bother him anymore.He turned around and wanted to leave, but suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said: "Uncle Shi doesn't know martial arts, but I see you seem to be able to, why don't you play two tricks with me? Otherwise, I will call Uncle Shi up."

He concluded that Uncle Shi, the eldest brother, would never want to wake Uncle Shi up.

"..." Seeing the young master's reluctance, Kou Jing also wanted to teach him a lesson, presumably he must have disturbed his younger brother a lot, so he said, "Lead the way, stay away from here."

Xu Qiaonan chuckled, he was worried that no one would use the sets of punches he created.The servants in the mansion did not dare to fight him, and the friends outside could only be beaten.

Then, there was a burst of crying and howling in Xu's residence. Xu Qiaonan was beaten up by Kou Jing with his punching skills, and he lay on the ground with a blue nose and swollen eyes.

In the Qiushuang courtyard, Madam Xu stood outside the courtyard gate, listening to the howling outside: "Miss, why don't the old slave go out and let that Mr. Kou deal with it more lightly, how can the young master bear it if this goes on like this?"

Mrs. Xu was playing chess with Huaiqiu, she smiled and said: "It's okay, I think that Mr. Kou is a prudent person, at most he suffers a little skin trauma, it's nothing. This kid should be taught a lesson. "

Taking advantage of Xu Zheng's absence, Xu Qiaonan jumped up and down all day long, and yesterday even fed her favorite pair of koi to death.

"Uncle Kou, your martial arts are really good! Can I learn martial arts from you?" Xu Qiaonan stuck to him with a swollen face and a smile. He was a little unconvinced at first, but then he asked two strong young men to join him I have never beaten Kou Jing before, so I am convinced.

Kou Jing: "..."

Chu Ci fell into a deep sleep, and when he woke up, it was already afternoon.Kou Jing still maintained his posture before going to bed, sitting at the desk reading a book.Chu Ci called Brother Mo, and smiled at him when he turned his head.

Chu Ci just woke up, and his body was in a lazy state. Seeing his smile, Kou Jing suddenly felt a little throbbing, and an indescribable taste came to his heart, and he felt his entire chest was full.

……

On the early morning of the [-]th, it was time to play again.This morning, Chu Ci went to the examination room early as before.

There seemed to be a lot fewer people waiting outside this time than last time, probably because some of them knew that their official career was hopeless after the first exam, so they simply stopped coming.

The gate of the examination room was opened, and the students entered in order according to the region.There is still a body search this time, but it is not as strict as last time.

Chuci learned his lesson this time. He cut the steamed buns into slices and brought them in. There was absolutely nothing hidden inside.So the guards just looked at it casually, and didn't touch it with their hands.

After going through a series of complicated procedures, Chu Ci sat back in the examination room.

On the morning of the thirteenth, there was the second round of the exam. There was one question about the Five Classics, and one each of Zhao, Judgment, Biao, and Gao, plus a five-character and eight-rhyme poem.

This imperial edict refers to the imperial edict issued by the emperor, the verdict is the verdict issued by the government, the table is the memorial played by the court officials, and the imperial edict is the notice to be posted by the government.

Because Mr. Xu is an official, there are many official documents in his mansion, such as those that do not need to be taboo, he showed them to Chu Ci, and also taught him a lot of unspoken rules and precautions when writing these things in the official mansion little details.

So Chu Ci doesn't need to worry, just need to adapt according to the topic.

The first test in the second round was the Five Classics questions and verses. This time it was slightly different from the Five Classics questions in the first round.If you don't win Jingkui, you can't win Jieyuan, so Chu Ci decided that he must use all his strength to answer this question, and he must make the fellow examiner of Chunqiufang applaud!
