Chapter Thirty-Six: The Food That Comes

Outside the wood gate, Chen Kaizhi heard someone shouting. The water mist was too heavy, and Chen Kaizhi couldn't see clearly. He waited for his delicate body, wearing a straw raincoat and slowly walked into the courtyard. Chen Kaizhi had just recognized the person, and it was Miss Xun.

When he thought of the relationship between Miss Xun and Zhang Ruyu, Chen Kaizhi leaned his face slightly and said reluctantly: "Hello Miss Xun."

Miss Xun wore a straw hat, her black hair was covered by the hat, and the eaves of the hat covered her beauty, but her face, which was as beautiful as jade and fat, was still unconcealed. She stood in the rain, and fell on her straw raincoat in the raincoat, splashing water on the strawcoat. She raised her eyes, looked at Chen Kaiyi's eyes, and said ashamedly: "I only learned about my cousin a few days ago. It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, my cousin..."

Chen Kaizhi smiled: "I don't blame anyone, I just blame myself for being incompetent. Miss Xun, what's going on?"

"I..." Miss Xun said in a silence: "I have reported to my father about this matter, I must have..."

Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but smile again, but he laughed with self-deprecating: "Zhang Ruyu suffered a loss and went back to find his father; if you have no idea, you can also find your father. Oh, I'm not saying anything sour, but in this world, I'm the only one who is alone, and I can't compare to your young lady's willfulness. If nothing happens, I'm leaving."

Chen Kaizhi wanted to hold up the oil umbrella, but when the umbrella surface was supported, it was a strong wind, which immediately blew the umbrella bones. With a click, the wooden umbrella bones and the umbrella surface of the oil umbrella were folded.

Broken...

Uh... Chen Kaizhi suddenly felt quite embarrassed. He sighed in his heart. As expected, drinking cold water would be stuffed between his teeth.

"I...I have an umbrella." Miss Xun said hurriedly.

Chen Kaizhi shook his head: "Please go back, the students will not eat the food they give to you."

Chen Kaizhi sighed again in his heart, and at this point he had to... He raised his leg and walked into the rain. The rain poured down and his whole body was soaked.

Miss Xun hurriedly said, "I...I have a car..."

Chen Kaizhi said: "Your daughter-in-law is the car."

As he said that, he had already left the yard, and Miss Xun caught up. There were indeed cars and horses and a few people wearing straw raincoats waiting outside. Chen Kaizhi walked in front of him, but Miss Xun had to hurry up and said with grievance: "Can you not be so stingy? I have no grudges and grudges."

Chen Kaizhi walked in the puddle, and although he was soaked in a drool, he couldn't help but pretend to be cool: "But your cousin and I have an irreconcilable grudge..."

Miss Xun immediately said, "What do you do with me in cousin? Okay, even if you have any connection, but you... you... you... are molesting me. Is this considered a leniency?"

"Damn!" Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but stop and looked at Miss Xun with a stern face: "If you do this, do you also say something random?"

Miss Xun couldn't help but look red: "I... mean, many things are difficult to explain clearly. I think everything about you and your cousin is because of me. I should... I should..."

Chen Kaizhi shook his head: "This is my business with Brother Ling, so Miss, don't bother."

Miss Xun sternly said, "But if you walk in the rain like this, you will get sick."

"Miss, see you again." Chen Kaizhi shook his head and disappeared quickly in the rain.

Miss Xun looked at her back and seemed a little lonely and a little down, but with a unique stubbornness, she finally sighed quietly and said nothing.

……………………

When he arrived at Tongzhi Hall, Chen Kaizhi was in a mess, but there were already many sedan chairs and cars and horses in front of the door. Chen Kaizhi looked up and saw the familiar people. Mr. Fang was standing under the eaves waiting.

He held an oil umbrella, but the oil umbrella was obviously much stronger than Chen Kaizhi's umbrella, but there were still water splashes on his big sleeves and Confucian skirt. Chen Kaizhi wiped the rain from his face and saluted him, "Why is the teacher here?"

Mr. Fang looked at him coldly and said coldly: "You have never seen the world before. If I don't come, can you answer the questions in a good way?"

Oh, the master is very skilled, and with just a word, he raised himself up.

Chen Kaizhi had no choice but to say, "Mr., let's go in."

"No hurry." Mr. Fang said: "Waiting for the magistrate Zhu."

Chen Kaizhi thought about it and felt that his mentor was very skilled in dealing with things, which was similar to his own level. Yes, wait for the magistrate Zhu County.

The sedan chair of the county magistrate Zhu came late, and when the sedan chair fell from the eaves, Mr. Fang said to Chen Kaizhi: "Go up and see him."

Chen Kaizhi touched his head: "My teacher... Actually... I understand all this."

Mr. Fang's face was still and he looked like a boy was silent. It seemed that his mentor was very worried about today's teaching exam.

Chen Kaizhi walked forward in the rain, went to the sedan chair, bowed to the county magistrate Zhu in the sedan chair, and said, "Students have met the county magistrate."

The sedan chair was hanging down, and a man had already held up an umbrella for County Magistrate Zhu. County Magistrate Zhu rolled out the curtain, glanced at Chen Kaiyi, and said solemnly: "Oh, it's Kaizhi, it's raining heavily outside, go in."

He didn't say much, but Chen Kaizhi was a little surprised.

At least, this county magistrate should ask how he was preparing. It should be noted that the key to the confrontation between the county magistrate and Yang Tongzhi this time is his own knowledge. If Yang Tongzhi's teaching examination cannot pass, Yang Tongzhi can take the opportunity to attack, and the excuse that County magistrate Zhu protects a self who is ignorant, so this teaching examination is crucial.

But...why is it as calm as the county magistrate?

Chen Kai's jaw head: "Yes."

County Magistrate Zhu arrived at the eaves and greeted Mr. Fang, and finally led Chen Kaizhi into Tongzhi Hall.

…………

Tongzhi Hall back hall flower hall.

Teacher Wu was waiting here uneasyly. He waited anxiously for a stick of incense before he saw Yang Tongzhi coming. He was wearing court uniforms and looked energetic. Teacher Wu hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "I have met the lord."

Yang Tongzhi only looked slightly: "Teacher Wu has come long ago? I'm working."

Teacher Wu smiled and said, "If you want to be a minister, this is the right time. It's not too late, should you be promoted to the church?"

"No hurry." Yang Tongzhi sat down instead, looking lightly: "Let them wait a moment."

Teacher Wu felt like a mirror in his heart. In the front hall, all the officials of our dean were all invited. Some local gentry and celebrities were invited. However, no matter what, before the prefect took office, Yang Tongzhi was the lord of Jinling Prefecture. This time, Jiangning County provoked the authority of Tongzhi, so Yang Tongzhi had to put on an airs.

Teacher Wu smiled apologized: "That's right, it's okay to let them wait."

However, Yang Tongzhi raised his legs and sat firmly. He ordered someone to serve tea. After taking a sip of tea, he said carelessly: "A few days ago, the news you provided was correct, right?"

Teacher Wu hurriedly said: "Yes, Chen Kaizhi is a student in this county, so there will be no mistakes. When it comes to articles, this person has written the Goddess of Luo, which is very extraordinary..."

When talking about the Goddess of Luo River, Yang Tongzhi showed disdain: "I must have copied it from somewhere."

Wu Teaching Yu smiled and continued, "But this kind of thing is always wrong, so you must be careful. As for the Four Books and Five Classics, the officials read it, there is no need to take the exam. This person can actually recite the Four Books and Five Classics backwards. I would like to ask him, but this is not a problem. However, his mentor, who is the one with the surname Fang, always sighs that he is unbearable and only knows how to study hard, but has no talent."

Yang Tongzhi held the teacup and smiled: "It's good that's right, so I will feel at ease."

Then, he sat leisurely with his eyes closed, his belly was like a mountain, with a chair on the official hat and chair. Teacher Wu, who was standing with him, seemed embarrassed, but he did not dare to disturb him.

After a while, a clerk came and said, "Sir, Zhu Zihe, Jiangning County Magistrate, please go to the hall."

Yang Tongzhi seemed to be asleep, but he didn't move at all.

The clerk was bored and rushed to reply.

After half an hour, the thunderstorm outside became even stronger. The clerk came again and said, "The masters in the front hall are waiting anxiously."

Yang Tongzhi opened his eyes suddenly and said angrily: "I'm afraid the one with the surname Zhu and the one with the surname Chen are anxious. Haha, there is no etiquette." He then grew up and said lazily: "Let's go, go to the hall."

Yang Tongzhi came to the front hall surrounded by clerks, and saw that there were already a lot of people in the hall. The people present stood up and bowed to him: "I have met you."

Yang Tongzhi was proud of the spring breeze, and his eyes looked slanted towards the direction of County Magistrate Zhu, but he saw that County Magistrate Zhu was still sitting high, and Mr. Fang was also on the side, as if he was napping, and Chen Kaizhi bowed with a smile.
