Chapter 102: Can't wait (more)
Many people in Jinling are grateful for Chen Kaizhi's life-saving grace, so the bet between Chen Kaizhi and Wang Zhizheng this time has invisibly touched the hearts of many people.
This gave Chen Kaizhi a convenience, so he simply went to the palace to take a leave of absence. He didn't go out even at home. He just went to bed and got up to eat and drink, but did not dare to go to his mentor's place. He hid and looked at the Wenchang map intently, and then continued to sleep.
The only trouble is that Chen Kaizhi's appetite has increased, and this increase in appetite can even be described as horror.
Because this is so scary that even he can't afford to support himself. He had just eaten two bowls of rice, but he still felt hungry. He usually eats and drinks simple, and it is amazing to be able to eat white rice. If there is no oil and water, this kind of hunger will become even more obvious.
This is not a solution. This... is really a rhythm of losing oneself.
Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but think: "If you really win the jade pendant of the Prince of Dongshan at this time, maybe this situation would be difficult to see."
A few days later, at the turn of autumn and winter, it suddenly rained for several days, with the rain pouring down. Chen Kaizhi stood under the eaves, looking at the rain curtains that looked like waterfalls in front of him, with a calm expression.
Fortunately, it was raining, so no one came to inquire about the bet, and Chen Kaizhi was happy to be idle.
The rain has passed for several days, but the ten-day period is about to pass.
At noon that day, Chen Kaizhi was anxiously waiting for the news, but a carriage came, which turned out to be the carriage of the Prince of Dongshan County. The coachman came to report in the rain: "My highness said that today is the last day of the bet. I would like to ask Chen Sheng to come to the Wang family for a while. After the time passed, it would be easier to fulfill the bet."
Chen Kaizhi shook his head, sighed, and said, "Is Your Highness so urgent?"
"Uh..." The coachman smiled embarrassedly: "Please ask Mr. Chen to get on the car."
Chen Kaizhi was helpless. Although he only met Prince Dongshan once, he knew enough about the character of His Highness. If he didn't go, that guy would definitely bring someone to tie him up immediately. He had to say, "That's so hard."
I left the courtyard in the rain and got on the car. The car was very luxurious. The carriage was difficult to walk and finally arrived at the Wang family on the outskirts of the city. The heavy rain still showed no sign of stopping.
Chen Kaizhi got out of the carriage and entered the Wang family, but saw two familiar figures standing under the front porch of the Wang family.
My mentor and my uncle have also come?
The master and apprentice looked at each other, and Chen Kaizhi stepped forward to greet him. Mr. Fang was frowning and said, "Kaizhi, it's been the tenth day, hey..."
Chen Kaizhi said solemnly: "It is the student's fault that the teacher is worried. I'll forgive me."
Mr. Fang only waved his hand, still looking worried.
But the Prince of Dongshan walked proudly from the other end of the corridor with his hands behind his back, and a big smile appeared on his face and said, "Ha, here, it's just right, well, there are still two hours. After these two hours, the ten-day appointment, even if it expires, Oh, don't worry, maybe... there is really a miracle in this world! Haha, let's go, it's storm here, don't wait here, my mentor is in the monastery in the back garden, why not go to have tea, but I can't wait for that moment."
Chen Kaizhi found out the details of the Prince of Dongshan. His surname was Chen Dexing. Chen Kaizhi was very suspicious. He was not very virtuous and he had to make up for whatever he lacked, so his parents specially gave him such a name.
This guy is actually quite handsome, but as soon as he opens his mouth, he will inevitably have the urge to beat him up.
Chen Kaizhi shook his head and said, "I won't go to the monastery in the back garden, so just sit in the front hall."
Chen Dexing doesn't seem to have much entertainment, so he is very interested in this bet. In order to prevent his mentor from having any bloody disaster, he has done his homework.
In the past ten days, he simply brought the guards of the royal palace to guard here, and was with his mentor every day. Even if his mentor had to go out for two steps, he was afraid of falling.
Now, the merits are finally fulfilled.
Chen Dexing was in a very happy mood and looked at Chen Kaizhi with a smile and said, "It will be interesting later."
After pausing, he said again: "Oh, don't you want to go to the Back Garden Monastery? Well, it's okay, it's okay, I'm very generous, then... just sit in this front hall, I'll accompany you."
After saying that, he led Chen Kaizhi and others to the front hall and asked someone to pour tea. Chen Dexing was holding his feet up, looking very expectant.
Chen Kaizhi looked calm, but he was indeed a little nervous.
The tea was poured up, and Chen Dexing was still looking at Chen Kaizhi secretly, but saw that there was no one around Chen Kaizhi, so he picked up the teacup and drank it.
However, Mr. Fang's psychological quality was not very good, and he kept sighing.
The previous bad comments had a great impact on Chen Kaizhi's life, and there was no need to mention this bet.
Chen Dexing raised his feet and laughed and said, "I ordered someone to report to his mentor."
Chen Kaizhi said: "Your Highness, although there are still two hours left, the bloody disaster of the master has not been resolved. Why don't you invite him to come here to speak."
Chen Dexing was happy, and the answer was about to be revealed anyway. He now had a good temper, so he ordered someone: "Please come and see Chen Shengjun."
The man responded and nodded.
At this time, in the monastery in the backyard of the Wang family, Wang Zhizheng welcomed a different guest.
The guest knelt under the king's stern command and sighed: "The Prince of Beihai ordered the students to take charge of some chores in Jinling. The last time the Tianfan was so lucky. I thought I could take this opportunity to succeed. The Tongzhi of Jinling had already made arrangements. After taking Chen Kaizhi, all the charges would be placed on Chen Kaizhi's head, and then he took the opportunity to point everything at the Empress Dowager. Unexpectedly, Chen Kaizhi, ah... has implicated the gentleman, and now he has to leave the capital and return home."
Wang Zhizheng held the teacup in his hand, but did not bow his head to drink it. He just smiled and said, "If you don't know where, it's better to go back to your hometown. Now that the capital is in a strange way, it's better to come back and be more relaxed and comfortable."
The man said happily again: "Yes, the sir has just returned to his hometown, and the prince of Dongshan has become a teacher. It's really enviable."
Wang Zhizheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "The power of the Dongshan County Prince, the southeast of the Shizhen Town cannot be underestimated. Now the Empress Dowager and King Zhao are fighting fiercely, and they all want to get the support of the Dongshan County Prince. In the past, the Dongshan County Prince's Mansion was ambiguous. However, this time, the Dongshan County Prince was worshipped by my husband's disciple and seemed to have some intentions."
