Chapter 46: A soldier is a grass head king

Chen Jitai, whose courtesy name was Donglai, was born in the 28th year of Wanli. He was a native of Guangzhou. He was fond of martial arts since he was a child. He was admitted to the martial arts Jinshi at the age of 19 and entered the Qingyuanwei as the deputy Qianhu.

There has been no war in Guangdong, but the Chen family is a giant in Guangzhou, with wealthy family. With their connections, they gradually climbed to the high position of the commander commander of the Guangdong Commander Commander. The two dynasties, Longwu and Shaowu, were both trusted and named as the governor and the Prime Minister.

Chen Jitai had four confidant generals, namely Li Desi, Yang Dali, Yan Shuli, and Luo Zhaocheng. He often proudly claimed to the public that these four people were his "Four Great Hells".

Of course, what he valued the most was his master Ruan Youwen.

Ruan Youwen, whose courtesy name is Mingli, is Pan Duoshou's distant cousin, and is nearly fortunate. He is rarely talented. When he was seventeen, he was promoted to study as the "College Leader" and became a scholar. After winning the scholar, he was especially successful in the first place. Ruan Youwen regarded himself as talented and ambitious, and thought that it was easy to do in the Guiban and Xingban high school. Unfortunately, he participated in six consecutive provincial examinations and failed each time.

For nearly twenty years, he fell before the provincial examination. Ruan Youwen gradually became discouraged and cursed the examiner for being blind. After resolutely giving up the path of the scientific examination. With the recommendation of his uncle Pan Duoshou, he became a division master for Chen Jitai and was responsible for handling military official documents.

Although Ruan Youwen's journey in the scientific examination was not smooth, he was indeed a little talented and knowledgeable, especially his wisdom. In addition, with Pan Duoshou's relationship, he gradually gained the trust of Chen Jitai.

Defeating Lin Jiading was his plan.

...

"Hahaha..., I, Chen Donglai, have become my uncle, and the emperor treats me well."

As soon as the envoy passed the order left, Chen Jitai excitedly showed off to the "Four Great Hells".

"Mr.com, congratulations."

"General, we will benefit from it with you in the future."

"Yes, Commander-in-chief, is it a wine to celebrate?"

...

The "Four Great Hells" all gathered together, and no one was willing to fall behind. However, Yang Dali, Yan Shuli, and Luo Zhaocheng were truly happy. As the leader of the four generals, Li Desi felt a little uncomfortable. Although he was speaking auspicious words of congratulations, a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Ruan Youwen sat aside with a secret face, without any sign of happiness. He saw everyone's expressions and sighed slightly in his heart.

"Old Ruan, the commander-in-chief is Feng Zhongyong. This is a great joy. What does it mean to have a donkey face? Isn't it just that I'm not raising it? It's all day long to hang it on my face?" Yang Dali turned his head and saw Ruan Youwen's appearance, and started joking with him.

The words "old soft" and "not lifting" have a deep meaning. One is to mock him for not winning the imperial examination, and the other is to mock him for not having any offspring for more than 20 years of marriage.

These two things are the most shameful things that Ruan Youwen feels. It’s okay if he won the imperial examination. Wen Zhang hates his fate. Not only are he the ones who fall in front of the imperial examination. He can give himself a reason for “bad fate”. No matter how bad he is, he can scold the examiner for “no eyes” to talk about **.

But it was a big taboo for him to never have any offspring, and he had no way to complain about others.

"Yang Hang, you are a rough man! Whether you don't pick it up or have a family, Ruan always has a bad fate. There is a saying that goes, "Summer insects cannot be talked about in the ice." Ruan is not as shallow as you, so you should care more about your own life." A hint of anger flashed in Ruan Youwen's eyes, but the two of them are used to jokes and are not easy to turn against each other, so they can only retort.

He is a literati and will not speak swear words like Yang Dali. He just combines his two words "Dali" into "ram", even if it is a small counterattack.

In fact, Ruan Youwen didn’t say anything: “I was the old master’s minister yesterday, and now I am the new emperor’s favor. Even though I was rewarded by the new emperor, the old master just died. Are you so happy and not thinking about the old master’s kindness at all? It’s better to be a little reserved.”

But he didn't dare to say this.

"Tsk, old man, don't do anything that cannot be used. I, Old Yang, are so tough, you don't have to worry about eating carrots. Tell me, why are you so unhappy? Is it still your 'good fortune and misfortune'?" Yang Dali, imitating Ruan Youwen's appearance, shook his head and said.

"Hahaha... Dali, stop being fooled. Youwen, Dali is right, why are you unhappy? Is there anything wrong with it? You have something to say?" Chen Jitai smiled.

"Bo Ye, Youwen is of course happy for Bo Ye, but he has always been cold and so he has not shown it. However, from today on, should the four generals give up their original title and change it to Bo Ye?" Ruan Youwen stood up and said.

"Yes, yes, Lao Ruan is right. You can't call him the commander-in-chief anymore. You should call him Uncle." Yang Dali said hurriedly.

"Yes, yes, Master Ruan is right, it's because we were negligent." Yan Shuli said in conjunction.

"I think it's still a good thing to call the commander-in-chief." Li Desi didn't like Ruan Youwen. It doesn't matter if you flatter me, don't step on us, so he said disapprovingly.

"Desi is right. We are all old brothers, so we don't have to be so formal in private." Chen Jitai waved his hand and said casually.

You can't call me privately, but you have to change it in formal occasions. - This is Chen Jitai's subtext.

"Yes, Master is right." Li Desi naturally heard the voice-over, and immediately bowed and changed his mouth.

"Okay, you four are going down first. I have something to say to Youwen." Chen Jitai said.

He naturally saw that Ruan Youwen's classical Chinese was not sincere, and some words were probably inconvenient to say in front of everyone.

The four bowed and retreated.

"Youwen, is there anything wrong with it?" Chen Jitai asked.

"Master, you regard your literature as your nephew, and you are so kind to me. If you have literature, you dare not hide anything. It's just that it's important, please leave your left and right." Ruan Youwen answered solemnly.

"Oh? So serious?" Chen Jitai was stunned when he heard this. What important thing is that he still has to hold his back?

However, he had always trusted Ruan Youwen and knew that he would never speak lightly, so he took it seriously at the moment.

He waved his hand and the personal soldiers serving in the reconciliation said, "Get out, don't get close within ten steps outside the tent."

"Abide by the order!"

The personal soldiers gave gifts and left the account.

"Tell me."

"Yes, Master, please forgive me for saying frankly that you are in trouble!" Ruan Youwen raised his head and looked directly at Chen Jitai.
