Chapter 201: Catch the Wind (Monthly Pass)

After listening to what my senior brother said, Chen Kaizhi suddenly felt that he still lacked life experience.

But after thinking about it carefully, it is not right. Chen Kaizhi felt that he was a routine for others, but he was full of respect for his mentor, so he rarely used this routine to fool his master.

But when you look at Senior Brother Deng, and think about the various praises from his mentor to him, Chen Kaizhi still has the feeling that he had known this before, so why should he feel like he had been?

Chen Kaizhi suddenly came to his senses and had to bow to Senior Brother Deng and said, "I am confused. I would like to forgive me. Mentor only said that Senior Brother's surname was Deng, but he didn't know the senior brother's surname Gao?"

Senior Brother Deng nodded with satisfaction and then said, "My name is Deng Jian. I passed the Jinshi three years ago. I first observed politics in the Ministry of Revenue. Now I work in the Ministry of War. Oh, let's not mention these. In short, the affairs in the department are very complicated. I will tell you later, don't worry, you are my junior brother. Although I fool my master, I am your senior brother. The elder brother is like a father. The senior brother will take good care of you. When you arrive in the capital, you will be like going back to your own home. Let's go home first."

As he said that, he ordered someone to bow to Chen Kaizhi. There was already a sedan chair wait outside the dock. Deng Jian was very enthusiastic and asked Chen Kaizhi to take the sedan chair and lead Chen Kaizhi into the city.

After passing through the outer city, passing through another gate, we entered the inner city, and we did not stop until we were in a simple courtyard on the edge of the inner city.

Chen Kai got out of the sedan chair and couldn't help but be amazed: "Senior Brother, do you live here?"

"Where can I live in? This is the inner city, every inch of land is valuable. I am just a small hall official. If you want to be corrupt and abuse the law, you have to give it to me." Deng Jian continued with regret: "You can rent a good place in the outer city, but I am on duty every day. If I am in the outer city, I will have to delay a lot of effort on the road. This is already very good. Look, there is a censor next door, and there is a Hanlin at the end of the street. Don't be picky. The Beijing officials are suffering. I want to let them go out, but there is no way."

Senior Brother Deng looked melancholy, his eyebrows frowned, and he used the money to send the sedan chairperson. Only then did Chen Kaizhi realize that even the sedan chairperson was hired, but there was a gatekeeper in this room and an old woman was responsible for boiling water and cooking.

Chen Kaizhi said, "Senior Brother, I don't know if my teacher and sister-in-law are here, so I should go and pay my respects first."

"No." Senior Brother Deng raised his head and said melancholy: "Someone said to the media before, but I looked down on you, but I looked down on you, and I looked down on you. Alas, the matter in Beijing is too complicated. Let's go to the house first."

This is a three-bedroom wing room, but the doorman is too old and not very convenient to hear. Deng Jian shouted at him a few words to cook tea. This is called Lao Liu's doorman, but he nodded repeatedly, but looked confused.

But the old woman was cooking in the kitchen. Senior Brother Deng gritted his teeth and said, "It's not good to buy cheap ones. He even pointed at you to serve me, but I was the one who offered you." So he hurriedly went to make tea.

Chen Kaizhi put down his bag and bookcase. Looking at the environment, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh. In Jinling, everyone thought that Senior Brother Deng must be a group of servants now, and his wife and concubines were beautiful. Who would have thought...

Senior Brother Deng came to cook tea, as if Chabei was hot, and he looked grinning. He rolled up his sleeves and said, "There is nothing else here. The only good thing is convenience. You are going to the school palace in the future, and it is close to the school palace. If you are taking care of other things, you will be studying well. When you pass the Jinshi, your senior brother has some skills. Then you will pass on some experience to you."

Speaking of this, he sighed again: "I was too young at the beginning, I didn't know anything, and I was fooled by others. Hanlin couldn't get in, and I couldn't let it go, so I didn't get up or down. I was so surprised. You should take a break first. The rice is almost ready. At night, my senior brother took you to have fun and see the big scene."

Speaking of the big scene, Senior Brother Deng gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind to spend money.

This made Chen Kaizhi feel very sorry, so he said, "Forget it, there is still no need to go."

Senior Brother Deng's face suddenly fell down: "How can you not go? If you don't go, you won't give your senior brother face. Mentor, I have fooled him for half a lifetime. Since I joined his wall ten years ago, I have fooled him, but he has compiled books to make our senior brothers friendly. Can I still fool this? I am Senior Brother."

Chen Kaizhi was very ashamed and hurriedly took out a few taels of silver from the bag. This time he came to Beijing, he paid thirty taels of silver from the Xun family to use, so he was quite affordable. Chen Kaizhi said sincerely: "Senior brother, I am here..."

Senior Brother Deng glanced at it, but became angry: "What do you mean? Do you think that your senior brother is not worthy? Senior Brother has an official position at least. No matter how shameless you are, can you be sorry for your junior brother? Hurry up and put away your money."

Seeing Senior Brother Deng’s angry look, Chen Kaizhi had to put away the silver and then slowly drank tea.

After a while, Senior Brother Deng asked Chen Kaizhi to have a meal. It was indeed a dust banquet, with a lot of wine and food, and he even killed a chicken.

Senior Brother Deng picked up two chicken legs and stuffed them into Chen Kaizhi's bowl and said, "Eat, eat more, oh, by the way, when you study books for your mentor, don't say bad things about your senior brother. If you have anything to do, we brothers will close the door and talk about it yourself. When you study books for your mentor, you will say that I am here, except on duty, and when you are on duty, you will read and play the piano."

As he said that, he twisted off the chicken's butt with chopsticks, and ate it whole like he had never seen any meat in many days.

Chen Kaizhi gave him a chicken leg, and Deng Jian shook his head: "You eat it to welcome you. I often eat chicken, but it's not at home, but when Shangguan ordered him to go to the camp."

The two brothers and brothers, a gust of wind swept the clouds and quickly ate them clean. In the end, Deng Jianshang was holding a chicken bone that had almost eaten, desperately picking the meat, as if he had a grudge against the chicken, and even had to eat a piece of meat.

Chen Kaizhi was stunned. He was very poor at the time, and it was rare to eat some meat at that time, so every time he encountered meat, he would cherish it extremely. Unexpectedly, his senior brother seemed to be better than him.

After eating and drinking, Senior Brother Deng became happy. When he touched his belly, he had to show off his senior brother's appearance: "Kaizhi, the water in the capital is deep. You can go to the school and study hard. Don't pay attention to the matters outside. If you have any questions, discuss with Senior Brother first."

Then he sighed: "I didn't expect you to be Jie Yuan."

Chen Kaizhi quickly adapted to this Senior Brother Deng, who was completely different from his understanding at the beginning. He simply packed up his greetings and rested in the house, and suddenly became refreshed again.

After leaving the wing room, Deng Jian was squatting in the patio in front of the house, washing his clothes.

Chen Kaizhi hurried forward, staring at Deng Jian with his bright eyes, and asked in confusion: "Senior Brother, what are you doing?"

Chen Kaizhi recognized that he had replaced the clothes all the way.

Deng Jian put down the clothes in his hand and said with a depressed look: "Hey, there was an old woman who was doing laundry, but she went out to buy things. She was idle and was idle. I helped you wash your clothes. You didn't have any clothes on you. I'll wear my clothes later. I'll take you to see the world. Senior brother rarely has a rest, and today I'm free..."

Of course, Chen Kaizhi knew that Deng Jian wanted to take him to a black Internet cafe. Seeing him sweating profusely, he was also very depressed and hurriedly said, "I'll take a shower."

Deng Jian was annoyed in an instant, his sword eyebrows flicked deeply, and he looked at Chen Kaizhi unhappily: "Often brothers rarely do laundry in person, isn't it because you are here? I know you have worked hard too. My mentor came to study books and said that you are poor and have a lot of home. I think it was very hard when I was in Jinling, so I didn't do laundry less? But this time, my senior brother will help you wash it first."

Chen Kaizhi said embarrassedly: "Uh... Actually... I don't wash clothes at home."

"Hmm?" Deng Jian couldn't help but be stunned. His mentor said that his family's pride was so he didn't have to wash his own clothes?

Deng Jian looked at Chen Kaizhi with his eyes intently, and asked in surprise: "Did you hire a woman?"

Chen Kaizhi scratched his head, couldn't bear to lie to him, and said embarrassedly: "Actually... it was the singer next door who helped me wash my laundry."

"There is such a thing?" Deng Jian was so angry that he jumped up. He had just been pitying Chen Kaizhi for a harder life than he did. Who would have thought this guy...

Thinking of this, I couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed and said, "Okay, it's so good. Come on, come on, take that bamboo pole and hang your clothes."

Chen Kaizhi suddenly remembered something and said, "I won't go out at night. I appreciate my kindness from my senior brother, but I'd better study my homework at home. It's not good for me to go there now. If someone knows, the school will definitely punish you."

"Kaizhi, you don't know now. Now the atmosphere is different from my early years." Deng Jian wanted to persuade him, but Chen Kaizhi kept shaking his head. Obviously, he had decided, so he had to not continue to persuade him. He quickly changed his subject: "It's good, if you get fame, it's more important than anything else. You should study hard. If you don't understand, come and find your senior brother."

Chen Kaizhi just smiled and nodded, then went back to the house to read a book.

When he came to Luoyang, he took some books from his mentor and took them out to read them without any trouble on the boat. These were all articles by Chen Hongru. Recently, he read a note from a herb cottage, and Chen Kaizhi got a lot of inspiration.

However, Chen Kaizhi was somewhat curious about this new place.

Although it is still spring now, the air in the capital is obviously dryer, not as smoke as fog as Jinling.

The inner city is a tributary of the Luoshui River. Only in it did you realize the magnificence of this place. After dinner, Chen Kaizhi went out to walk a few steps, and was impressed by this capital that has stood for thousands of years.
