broken!

Chen Ji's pupils suddenly shrank, his biological father in this body was right in front of him, but he didn't recognize him!

No wonder the other party looked at me frequently just now, no wonder the other party asked in surprise, "You call me Sir."

How should this be rounded?

In this era of feudal superstition, if you don't even recognize your father, you will be burned to death as a dirty thing...

I saw Chen Liqin in front of me, wearing a blue official robe and a leather belt around his waist. His face was tanned from working on the river embankment for several months in a row.

Different from Zhang Zhuo's rosy complexion, Chen Liqin did not look like a civil official at this time, but more like a military general.

Prince Jing looked at Chen Liqin and asked curiously: "Master Chen, did you teach Chen Ji his chess skills? I believe Master Chen's chess skills are also very good."

Chen Liqin cupped his hands and replied humbly: "He is in a humble position and is not good at chess. I have never taught him chess. A dog can't climb a wall with mud. If he can beat you, I think you gave in to him."

Hearing the word "dog", Chen Ji recalled his deceased father.

The father was humble, but when the thirteen-year-old Chen Ji was taken to participate in a Go competition and won the second prize, the father would smile and say to everyone, "This kid just plays chess in his spare time, otherwise you wouldn't be the best."

His opponent", which made the other chess players very angry.

Zhang Zhuo said with a smile: "Your Majesty, your chess skills have long been perfected. I remember seven years ago at the Jiangnan Cultural Conference, when you played against the host of Famen Temple, Monk Huitong settled on the 137th move and thought you knew how to play chess."

Unfortunately, he didn't even have the concentration to meditate, and his complacency was written all over his face. But he didn't expect that what was waiting for him was your one hundred and thirty-eight hands, which made all his plans come true.

All your previous efforts have been wasted. I guess the boy from the Chen family must have won against you, so you gave in, right?"

Prince Jing heard this and said with a smile: "I did give up Chen Ji's two sons, but only for one round. Even if I didn't give up later, I would lose several rounds in a row."

"Huh?" Zhang Zhuo and Chen Liqin looked at Chen Ji together.

Prince Jing picked up a chess piece and explained: "Chen Ji is a very talented chess player. You will understand if you play with him when you have time in the future... Mr. Chen, I don't think you and your son have any similarities. I have never met him."

Say hello, I just called you sir, not father."

Chen Ji's hanging heart also died together with the prince and Bai Li.

He thought everyone's attention had shifted to Go, so why was there still a last-hitting attack?

Chen Liqin glanced at Chen Ji and turned to Prince Jing, cupping his hands and saying, "Reporting to the prince, I don't know what's going on. The dog just looked at me like a stranger, which surprised me."

Prince Jing looked at Chen Ji and asked with a smile, "Why, you can't even recognize your father?"

There are traces of hesitation.

Just when he was thinking about how to answer, he heard old man Yao sneer at Chen Liqin: "Your Chen family sent Chen Ji to me as an apprentice, but you don't get a gift during the holidays. Now you are delaying even the study of silver.

It's normal that he doesn't want to recognize you. We literati talk about kings, kings, ministers, fathers and sons every day, but if the father is not kind, the son naturally does not need to be filial."

When Chen Ji heard his master speak, he suddenly turned to look at him in surprise.

In the medical clinic, Chen Liqin was startled for a moment: "Doctor Yao, please don't talk nonsense. I told my servants when I sent Chen Ji to the medical clinic that the monthly banknotes must be delivered on time, and I will prepare some small gifts for you during the holidays.

The Chen family’s book etiquette is passed down from generation to generation, so you won’t understand these rules.”

Old Man Yao said lightly: "Oh, am I lying? Anyway, I haven't seen many gifts from your Chen family. Moreover, your Chen family is so rich, why do you only give Chen Ji three hundred coins a month? It's really worthy

It's not your status as the Chen family. Otherwise, there will be no need for the Chen family to pay student money anymore. I will accept Chen Ji as my 'disciple'. From now on, I will take care of his food, clothing, housing and transportation, and he will provide for me until the end of his life."

Zhang Zhuo put his hands in the sleeves of his official robe. When he heard "three hundred articles", he looked at Chen Liqin doubtfully.

The patchwork on the chest and back robe of Chen Liqin's official uniform alone is probably worth a hundred times as much as the "three hundred coins".

Official bunzi in the Ning Dynasty were given as gifts by the court, but many officials felt that the bunzi issued by the court were not delicate and bright enough, so they asked embroiderers to re-embroider them with gold and silver colored threads, and even gradually formed a trend of "buzi consumption"

.

A piece of money is thirty taels of silver, but only three hundred cents a month is given to his son. Is there some deep hatred between father and son?

Chen Liqin stopped arguing with Old Man Yao, and he also sensed that something was wrong.

He was silent for a moment and asked: "Physician Yao, during this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, I specifically asked the housekeeper to send gifts and gifts. He said that he had sent his servants to deliver them to you. Have you received them?"

Old Yao stroked his beard: "You mean the hundred cents sent by your servant? Yes, I received it. Thank you for the three melons and two dates."

Chen Liqin: "..."

Chen Ji: "..."

My master's mouth is really damaged, as if it has been poisoned from the inside out.

Chen Liqin frowned and bowed to Imperial Physician Yao: "Physician Yao, I will find out about this matter and give you an explanation."

Prince Jing smiled and smoothed things over: "There must be some misunderstanding about the Chen family's affairs, and it must be a mistake made by a servant. The Chen family has been ringing bells, eating dishes, writing poems and writing hairpins for generations, so they would not lose etiquette on such matters. Looking back on those days, I still remember

When I was in the capital, I often went to the Chen Mansion with my second uncle as a guest. The Chen family was hospitable and polite, which is still fresh in my memory... I remember that Mr. Chen had just finished attending the Autumn Palace at that time, right?"

Chen Liqin cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you remember correctly."

Prince Jing waved his hand: "Okay, I still have family matters to deal with. Everyone, please go back and come back to Jing'an Hall tomorrow to discuss business matters."

Chen Liqin looked at Chen Ji: "Chen Ji, you come with me back home, and I will find out the truth for you today."

But Chen Ji remained silent.

He didn't want to go back to Chen Mansion.

Although Chen Liqin is related to him by blood, he only has one father in his heart and has no intention of adding another.

The right and wrong of Chen's house had nothing to do with it from the moment he laid down three hundred copper coins in front of Chen's house.

In a quiet atmosphere, Chen Ji stood behind the mahogany counter and raised his hands to Chen Liqin: "Please come back, Mr. Chen. I still have my homework to review. I will not return to the Chen Mansion until I finish my studies."

"Master Chen?"

As soon as these words came out, Bai Li and the Crown Prince's eyes widened at the same time.

In this era, the education received by everyone is that the king, the minister, the minister, the father, the son, and no one dares to rebel against his or her own father. Once the reputation of unfilial piety spreads, the upper class society will not tolerate you, and the officialdom will not tolerate you either.

But Chenji, after all, does not belong to this era.

Chen Liqin's face darkened: "If you feel that you have been wronged about Xueyin, I will find out the matter for you today. If you blame me for sending you to the hospital, think about what you have done. Is it still possible?"

Do you want me, a father, to apologize to you?"

Chen Ji thought for a moment and finally did not take out Chen Wenxiao's confession.

He just smiled and said: "Master Chen misunderstood, I have not suffered any grievances. Now I am living a good life in the hospital, my master takes good care of me, my brothers and sisters are very harmonious, and my life is very fulfilling. Please go back, there is already someone outside the door

Patients are queuing up, so don’t delay the patient’s diagnosis.”

Chen Liqin opened his mouth again and again but stopped talking.

Because Prince Jing couldn't get angry on the spot, he had no choice but to walk away: "Just take care of yourself!"

…

…

Dozens of official sedans left slowly, and Taiping Medical Center became deserted again.

Prince Jing played with the chess pieces and looked at Chen Ji: "The Chen family's status is beyond the reach of many people. You are still young, so you don't know what you are giving up."

"It's good to have simple meals." Chen Ji looked at Old Yao and said, "Master, thank you."

Old Man Yao sneered: "You don't have to thank me, you still have to pay the student bank."

Chen Ji: "...Okay."

While speaking, Prince Jing looked at the Crown Prince again: "I just interrupted, and I haven't said anything about you. How do you think you should be punished?"

The Crown Prince cautiously asked, "You are not allowed to eat for one day?"

Prince Jing suddenly darkened his face: "From today on, your relationship with Bai Li will be broken. You will have to kneel in Mingzheng Tower for three days without being allowed to eat, and you will not be allowed to leave the palace for half a year!"

The prince's face changed drastically: "Dad, isn't half a year too long?!"

Bai Li was also anxious: "Dad, just lock up my brother. Can you not lock me up?"

Prince Jing laughed angrily: "You guys are very loyal."

Chen Ji discovered that Prince Jing was very patient in other matters, but in front of his children, he seemed like an ordinary old father who might irritably pull out his belt at any time.

At this time, Bai Li and the Crown Prince winked at Chen Ji, signaling him to help him think of a solution.

If they really don't go out for half a year, they won't be able to attend the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival, or go on an outing in the spring, or they will die in the palace.

Chen Ji said: "Your Majesty..."

Prince Jing raised his hand and said in a solemn voice: "Don't say anything. You are also involved in this matter. If it weren't for the sake of Imperial Physician Yao, you would also be punished."

Imperial Physician Yao had just prepared medicine for Prince Jing when he saw him wrapping the yellow paper with hemp rope and saying slowly: "Don't look at my face."

Chen Ji suddenly said: "Your Majesty, let's play another game of chess. If I win, you will listen to what I have to say and give the prince and princess a chance to make meritorious deeds."

"Oh?" Prince Jing turned to look at Chen Ji: "Your art of treating orphans no longer works on me, are you still sure you can win against me?"

Chen Ji gently rolled up his sleeves and said seriously: "Try it."

Prince Jing became interested: "It seems that I still have some tricks to press the bottom of the box, let's take a guess!"

After that, he held a few chess pieces in his hands and guessed: "Odd number."
