Chapter 56: Advance Dowry

Seeing Chen Kaizhi enter the room, Chen Wuji arrived in front of the wooden door and stood blankly. After thinking for a while, he knelt outside the door with a thud and then stopped talking.

The Xun family's sedan chair was still there. Miss Xun rolled up the curtain. She felt resentful. Although she had read some poetry and books since she was a child, she still couldn't understand Chen Kaizhi's unreasonable rejection. She couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable. When she saw Chen Kaizhi, she returned. Miss Xun thought he knew his mistake, so she sat upright in the sedan chair waiting for Chen Kaizhi to admit his mistake. Unexpectedly, this guy went back to the house angrily.

Have you taken the gun medicine?

Miss Xun felt increasingly aggrieved, but she saw a young man kneeling in the mud in front of the door, looking so arrogant that she dared not show off.

Miss Xun couldn't react for a moment.

She called the entourage and gave a few instructions. The entourage went up to ask questions and came back to report.

Chen Kaizhi closed the door to study and calmed down. It was noon that he was busy cooking. He thought to himself that his lint and slutty shirt were not ready, but he was afraid that he would have to find a tailor shop again. He smiled bitterly and shook his head, and went to the yard to find firewood. Unexpectedly, he saw Chen Wuji still kneeling there.

Chen Kaizhi felt soft and said sternly: "Have you eaten?"

"I didn't eat." Seeing that Chen Kaizhi began to pay attention to him, Chen Wuji strengthened his tone: "I didn't eat it early in the morning."

Chen Kaizhi laughed angry and said, "Come in and help me burn firewood."

"Oh." Chen Wuji rolled over and came in hurriedly with a bag.

"Whose thing is this?" Seeing him carrying a bag, Chen Kaizhi frowned.

"It was the lady in the sedan chair who asked me to hand it over to my elder brother, saying it was Lunqian and Confucian sermon. I know you didn't have time to buy it, so..."

"Take me a look."

After taking the bag, I went back to the house to untie it. It turned out to be a set of clothes with excellent materials and meticulous needlework.

Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but shake his head: "What did she say to you?"

Chen Wuji tilted his head and thought for a while before saying, "I just want to give this to you."

Alas... this is a sugar-coated cannonball.

But now it is too late to find a tailor. The most important thing is... poverty!

Chen Kaizhi shook his head and smiled bitterly, but he could also understand Miss Xun's feelings. He said, "Did you thank her?"

"It's not for me." Chen Wuji stumbled. He was obviously a little afraid of Chen Kaizhi.

The words are rough but not rough. Chen Kaizhi can understand it very well. It is already very painful to run errands to others. It is like a funny guy who specializes in sending letters to others in the school. He is already very sad to make wedding dresses for others. Thank you for your yarn.

Chen Kaizhi simply tried his clothes, put his Confucian shirt on his body, put his head on a scarf, and had no bronze mirror at home. He said to Chen Wuji: "Does it fit?"

"It looks good." Chen Wuji exclaimed.

This is the truth. The Lun Scarf and Confucian shirt are well-tailed, and Chen Kaizhi has a good figure and beautiful eyebrows. He is wearing it as graceful as jade when he is worn on his body.

"Oh, I remembered that Miss Xun had another sentence," Chen Wuji said.

Chen Kaizhi felt pretty good, too: "What are you talking about, but it's okay to say it."

"Ms. Xun said that if Brother Chen accepted it, it would be considered as having paid the dowry before it..."

Why not say it earlier?

Chen Kaizhi was stunned and teased me. Is this the dowry?

He couldn't help but glance at Chen Wuji. This guy must have done it on purpose. Why didn't he say it before, and only told him the truth after he tried it.

Chen Wuji looked bitter and revenge in front of others. He was afraid that he would be laughed and scolded a lot. When he arrived in front of Chen Kaizhi, he showed some young people's playfulness. At this time, he hurriedly said tactfully: "I'll go burn firewood."

After using the meal, Chen Wuji took the initiative to help wash the dishes. Chen Kaizhi's anger had disappeared. When Chen Wuji's pleasing appearance came to him, Chen Kaizhi said, "What are your plans?"

"I...I...I want to follow Brother Chen." Chen Wuji's face looked a little nervous.

Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Follow me? You should know that I'm poor."

"It doesn't matter, I can work." Chen Wuji looked at Chen Kaizhi pitifully: "I have nowhere to go, everyone bullies me."

Chen Kaizhi felt soft-hearted again. The boy was not bad, but his situation was bad. He thought to himself that after the Panfu was completed, he would be considered a scholar. The government would increase his money and food, and his life would be more abundant than before.

He said, "Okay, you'll live here for the time being. But there is one thing: A gentleman does something and does not do. Even if a knife is placed on his neck, he cannot do it. Even if millions of people obstruct you, he must do it. I don't ask you to be a gentleman. I hope you abide by the law. Do you know? Have you read a book?"

When Chen Kaizhi was willing to take him in, Chen Wuji was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "I have read some. When Taoist Yang was there, he taught me to recognize words. Unfortunately... he passed away a few years ago."

Chen Kaizhi sighed and said, "Then don't go to work anymore. I'll think of a way. You can read here first. I'll supervise your homework."

Chen Wuji said, "Yes, everything is listened to Brother Chen."

Chen Kaizhi asked him to clean up, and then went out to buy a bedding. The identity of the head of the case was very useful. Everyone in the neighborhood knew that Chen Kaizhi was the head of the case. Chen Kaizhi only said that he would give money for some days, but the other party didn't mind, and just said, "Young husband, don't rush to pay it back."

Chen Wuji lived here, so he opened a bed in the hall. He usually got up early. When Chen Kaizhi got up, he had already started to burn firewood and rice, which made Chen Kaizhi feel a little embarrassed.

Three days later, Chen Kaizhi arrived at the palace school. At this time, the new scholars were all wearing lumberjacks and Confucian shirts, all looking confident. But when Chen Kaiyi came, everyone felt ashamed.

The head of the case is the head of the case, not to mention that Chen Kai was young and had a good face, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, a beautiful face like a jade crown, and a graceful style.

Everyone came to see the ceremony, and of course there were also jealous people. Chen Kaiyi replied with a smile. When Xuezheng came out, he gathered people. Then there was a gong opening. A group of new scholars, led by the school officials, went straight to the temple. There were naturally people watching along the way, which was very lively.

Because Chen Kaizhi was the leader of the case, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he walked in front of the team. This kind of monkey-like exhibition really made him feel a little uncomfortable.

When they arrived at the Xue Temple and Xue Zheng was the main priest, the students crossed the Panchi and gave the disciple ceremony to Saint Kong. A big gift came down and it was already sunset. Master Xue Zheng bowed and said, "The road is long and arduous."

Everyone agreed: "I should search for it from top to bottom."

Xuezheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Put the fish bag."

The so-called fish bag is the symbol of my husband. Most of the senior officials in the court wear jade fish bags. Most of the ordinary officials are goldfish bags. If they are juren, they are silverfish bags. The young scholars are not very qualified. Of course, since they have been officially admitted to school, they are all children of Saint Kong. This is like another world. If you worship your elder brother, even if you are just a parking brother, no matter how inconspicuous he is, you will give you a token.

The fish bag is a token, although it is very copper.

A civil servant took the fish bag first and sent it to Chen Kaizhi. The fish bag also engraved with his identity, age and physical characteristics of admission.

Chen Kaizhi took it, tied it around his waist, and walked backwards in the world. This is an identity. He has no food to eat. With this, he can still get some help from scholars. He can even go to the Confucian Temple to ask for some rice. If he encounters a lawsuit, he can also find some compatibility in the local government.

Of course, scholars will not ask for rice. Generally, the government will distribute rice and grain, and there are tax-free places. In short, although they cannot be rich and powerful, they can still do it without worries about food and clothing.

The scholars all wore fish bags and then they dispersed.
