Chapter 197: Royal Family (Monthly Pass)
Mr. Fang had just walked to the entrance of the teahouse, but saw a young woman walking to him in the rain. Then, he heard the woman say, "But Mr. Fang?"
"You..." Mr. Fang looked at her, pondered for a moment, and then said, "You are Miss Xun."
Xun Yafeng nodded: "Kaizhi asked his mother to give me a letter. He was going to visit the county school. The one he was most worried about when he went to the capital was his husband. The little woman was Kaizhi's unmarried woman. He told me to take good care of the husband."
Mr. Fang forced a smile, looked up at the drizzle falling down the eaves and soaked in Miss Xun's body. He sighed quietly: "You are here to see him off too?"
Miss Xun only has a slight head.
Mr. Fang said: "It's raining heavily here, come home quickly, I... I have someone to take care of you."
He held up the oil umbrella, but said, "The most difficult thing in the world is Kaizhi. I don't know how many people are going to fight for what he wants to find. Although the future is good, all the successes are broken, and the old and idle clouds and wild cranes are not in conflict with the world. How can anyone worry about it? You should go back soon. If he has a letter, just find a child servant to send it to me for a look."
After saying that, people had already stepped into the rain, stepped on the mud, gradually faded away, and hid into the misty rain of Jinling.
This old man, whose stubborn back was extremely depressed, was the only one under his armpit, who became his last support.
Xun Yan's beautiful eyebrows couldn't help but condense. Looking at Mr. Fang's back as he walked away, she sighed infinitely, but in just a moment, she got into the car silently.
"Let's go."
The coachman asked, "Miss, are you going home?"
Xun Yadu spent a long time, and in this silence, he seemed to have a stubborn force: "No, go to the village outside the city and go to the workshop where refined salt is refined."
The coachman seemed a little puzzled: "Miss, that place..."
Xun Ya interrupted, "Go, you must leave a way out for Kaizhi."
……………………
Along the way, Chen Kaizhi had settled on the official boat. He looked into the distance in the rain. As the countless familiar scenery became farther and farther away, he sighed and returned to the cabin with a little depression.
This is a two-story official boat. The sailors and guards are both on the first floor and at the bottom of the bilge. There are only a few cabins on the second floor. It seems that in addition to Chen Kaizhi, there are others living there.
At noon, someone came to invite Chen Kaizhi: "Young Master, the food is cooked, please go to the dining room for rice."
Chen Kaizhi nodded and then left.
This is obviously not an ordinary official ship. At least even Chen Kaizhi's identity as Jie Yuan is not qualified to ride it. If it weren't for Chen Dexing's care, Chen Kaizhi would not have such luck.
When he arrived at the dining room, he saw someone standing outside holding his hands. The man was bearded and looked like a rash man. But Chen Kaizhi looked at him carefully and saw his temples bulging.
As soon as Chen Kaizhi's footsteps arrived, his eagle-like eyes swept across Chen Kaizhi's body, and these eyes were very sharp.
Chen Kaizhi met such a person for the first time, especially the murderous intent that passed by him, which was like a general who had been through military formations or a killer who had killed countless people.
But, like this, such a person, was just standing at the door and serving as a guard.
It seemed that he did not see any threat from Chen Kaizhi, so he nodded and turned sideways and let Chen Kaizhi in.
Although the cabin is gorgeous, the space is limited after all, here is just a few cases.
I saw that there was only an old man sitting here at this time. The old man had white hair and beard, but he looked very tough. He was holding a silver spoon and slung his head and eating a small bowl of yellow rice porridge.
Although this is yellow rice porridge, it is the cheapest coarse food, this bowl of stewed yellow rice porridge gives Chen Kaizhi a unique feeling. The porridge water seems to have been boiled for a long time, and the porridge is full of fragrance.
Chen Kaizhi has always been a respectful person, so he bowed quietly to the old man, and then knelt down on another desk.
At this time, a maid also brought food to Chen Kaizhi, but the food was rich.
As soon as Chen Kaizhi raised his chopsticks, the old man put down the silver spoon, looked up at Chen Kaizhi's eyes, and said, "Do you dare to ask about your name Gao?"
Chen Kaizhi hurriedly put down his chopsticks and said politely: "The reputation is not worth mentioning, student Chen Kaizhi."
"Chen Kaizhi?" The old man frowned slightly, as if he remembered something, and said, "But is Jie Yuan from the Jinling Provincial Examination in the current Jinling Provincial Examination?"
Chen Kaizhi looked a little humble, and he nodded slightly and said, "That's right."
The old man lowered his head and continued to eat porridge.
Seeing that the old man did not speak anymore, Chen Kaizhi started to eat. He was a little hungry and had a little indecent appearance, and he was not as careful as the old man.
After the old man finished eating the porridge, he suddenly asked, "You wrote the Goddess of Luo, right?"
Chen Kaizhi had no choice but to stop the chopsticks and said, "Yes."
The old man curled his lips: "Is it a dream?"
Chen Kaizhi nodded again.
The old man narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Kaizhi with curiosity.
"So, what article did you get from your pilot this year? That mountain is not high, and it was also what you got from your dream?"
this……
Of course, Chen Kaizhi cannot admit that it was from a dream. If it was an article from a dream, wouldn’t he be gone?
Chen Kaizhi shook his head quickly and said seriously: "This is a student's malicious work."
The old man returned to his normal sex, but he sneered.
"These two articles are both very literary. Since the mountain is not high, it is yours, and the poem "The Goddess of Luo River must be yours. How can you say that you dream? You are so young and have too much fame and fortune. I am afraid that the poem "The Goddess of Luo River is just to use the current situation today to make a fortune?"
In this world of clear streams as numerous as dogs, people say they want to make a fortune, which is almost like pointing at the nose and cursing people.
Chen Kaizhi just smiled and did not answer.
He did not refute because he did not want to cause trouble and did not speak ill of others, but because he respected the elderly. As for explanation, why should he explain these to someone he didn't know? There is no need.
When the old man saw that Chen Kaizhi did not answer, he got up. He walked a few steps, reached the cabin door, and looked back: "It is because there are too many people in the world who are greedy for fame and fortune that there are such troubles. You are a talented person, so you should be more indifferent."
As he said that, the person had already left the dining room.
Chen Kaizhi obviously saw that as soon as he walked, there seemed to be a few pairs of eyes outside the door and he also took them down.
This guy not only has extraordinary people protecting the hatch door, but also in secret, it seems that there are also people who silently follow him.
But... those who can board the official boat are either rich or noble.
Chen Kaizhi didn't care much. He had enough food and drink, so he went back to his cabin.
Back in this quiet cabin, bored, he took out the Wenchang map from his bag and recited it silently.
In the evening, the rain had stopped. In the dim sky, a rainbow hangs.
When Chen Kaizhi left the cabin, he saw the rainbow light outside, and the boat was still wet, but the afterglow of the sunset brought him a completely different enjoyment.
The old man was standing on the deck, and the bearded man was still following the old man with his hands in his arms.
The old man seemed to be raising his eyes to admire the beautiful scenery in the sky, as if he heard the movement. When he looked back, he saw that it was Chen Kaizhi, but he smiled at Chen Kaizhi.
This smile gives people a very strange feeling. It is obviously a sign of good intentions, but it is also full of indescribable nobility.
At this time, he only heard him say, "The mountain is no longer high, but it is a bit indifferent, which is enough to make people applaud. Unfortunately, it is still a bit pretentious. I think it is you who did it for the exam, not your real feeling."
This person is so weird. Is it interesting to judge other people's articles if you have something to do?
However, Chen Kaizhi was not angry. He said he could say anything and smiled at him: "Get taught."
After saying that, Chen Kaizhi turned around and left. He hadn't eaten yet. At this time, he naturally had to go to eat.
Halfway through Chen Kaizhi's meal, the old man came again and suddenly said kindly: "Your name is Chen Kaizhi, and your surname is Chen. I don't know where Chen's family?"
Chen Kaizhi answered truthfully: "Hometown is in Yingchuan."
"Yingchuan?" The old man looked at him with a smile, but did not continue.
Someone brought him millet porridge, but he took the silver spoon, but suddenly said: "The Chen family in Yingchuan are all royal families, are you also royal families?"
Chen Kaizhi was as meticulous as a man, but he focused on what he said, "You are also surnamed Chen". Could it be that this person's surname is also surnamed Chen?
His surname is Chen. Look at his posture, and his official boat and style, is he the royal family?
Chen Kaizhi shook his head and said, "No, I just heard from my elders that the origin of his ancestors came from Yingchuan. Perhaps it may be that the elders are far-fetched."
The old man did not continue to ask questions, so he lowered his head and ate porridge quietly.
When Chen Kaizhi had eaten and was about to leave, the old man suddenly said, "I went to the capital, what are your plans?"
Chen Kaizhi felt a little strange. This old man was really meddling in other people's business and said, "Take the exam."
"What then?" The old man's eyes looked faint, and deep in his eyes seemed to be ridiculed.
Chen Kaizhi said: "If there is a chance, the court will grant students official positions."
"What's next?" The old man continued with a smile: "If you want to be beautiful, then you have a beautiful wife and concubine, you have unparalleled blessings, right?"
Chen Kaizhi thought for a while and said, "This is one, the second is also to realize his ambitions."
"What ambition do you have?" The old man looked very interested, staring at him seriously, as if he wanted to see him through.
Chen Kaizhi didn't mind the old man's eyes at all, but just pondered a little: "It's hard to say now. In the eyes of the students, the greater the power he has, the greater the responsibility he has."
The old man smiled and said, "Every juren who came to Beijing from all the prefectures in the world is like this. But when he really entered the career of officialdom, he forgot all these things. I see you, and there is no difference between you and them."
Chen Kaizhi was a little annoyed. The old man was really full of bones and said, "Why?"
The old man put down the silver spoon and looked indifferent: "Because anyone who pursues fame and fortune has been the same since ancient times, so what is the reason?"
