Chapter 68: Provocation

Because he values ​​Chen Kaizhi, County Magistrate Zhu had specially checked Chen Kaizhi's information before.

Now when Eunuch Zhang asked, the county magistrate Zhu knew everything, and said: "It is said that he had always been adopted in the mountains. He was a little older. Because his adoptive father died, he had just gone down the mountain. In this world, he had no relatives, but this son was rich in education..."

Eunuch Zhang's eyes were already lit up, and the origin was unknown... He was sixteen years old and could barely match him. Could the person who adopted him be Eunuch Yang? It is very likely that Eunuch Yang is dead? He had just come down the mountain. Logically speaking, Your Highness should be fourteen years old now, but Eunuch Yang was as cunning as a fox. In order to cover up, he falsely claimed his age. This person named Chen Kaizhi was afraid he didn't know.

It's possible, very likely...

Eunuch Zhang didn't care about the so-called talent of County Magistrate Zhu. His mind began to think wildly. It was too suspicious. How could ordinary people live in the mountains? How could ordinary people not have a relative in this world? His surname is Chen? Did Eunuch Yang deliberately miss his surname? Kaizhi... Kaizhi... Kaizhi means returning with triumphant success. Could it be that Eunuch Yang hoped that one day the prince would return to the palace, so he gave such a name?

Eunuch Zhang's eyes flashed and he fell into long thoughts.

"Father-in-law...father-in-law..."

"Ah..." Eunuch Zhang came back to his senses, turned his eyes to look at County Magistrate Zhu, and smiled and said, "This Chen Kaizhi is very interesting. We feel that we are destined to be with him at first glance."

County Magistrate Zhu was stunned.

Eunuch Zhang said simply: "Let him choose the prince consort."

County Magistrate Zhu was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm afraid he may not be willing to do so, he can only study in his heart..."

Eunuch Zhang smiled and suddenly felt much more happy. The fatigue on the journey was wiped out, saying, "No matter whether he comes or not, if he reports this name, you don't have to worry about the selection of the first few levels. If he passes directly, we will leave this matter to you. In short, he has been selected, not only selected, but also... he has also entered the final election. At that time, we will select some young handsome men and decide the candidate for the Jinling prince consort from them."

County Magistrate Zhu was really shocked by this sudden situation. He didn't know whether to be happy or sad. He consciously said that Chen Kaizhi was an extremely ambitious person with good knowledge. Even if he relied on the imperial examination, he would have some achievements in the future. However, if he became a princess, he would be reluctant to do anything. Although His Royal Highness became a royal relative, he might not be his ambition.

County Magistrate Zhu said in embarrassment: "For this matter, the official will still be with him..."

Eunuch Zhang's face was stern and said unquestionably: "This is the Empress Dowager's meaning. Brother Zhu, when we arrive in Jinling, we come to you directly because the Empress Dowager favors you. You can't let the Empress Dowager down."

"Even if this matter is decided, we have to check it out again. Oh, for the selection matter, all the county magistrates from each county are invited here and all the aspiring Toshihiko come to register."

After Eunuch Zhang gave the order, he suppressed the joy in his heart and lowered his head to continue to check his school status, but left behind a bitter face of Magistrate Zhu.

…………

It was already summer, and the summer breeze was blowing. Even though he was wearing a sweatshirt, Chen Kaizhi still felt a sense of stuffiness.

The school is on the way.

Chen Kaizhi had to go to the county school first to study with Mr. Fang, and also to study in the prefecture school. Fortunately, Jiangning was originally the prefecture, so the distance between the county school and the prefecture school was not far.

Mr. Fang always has to be happy every early month, but today, he dare not show his happiness. During the last marriage proposal, Mr. Fang felt that the blow to Chen Kaizhi was too big. He wanted to squeeze out the kid's talent and let him compose a few new songs to satisfy his cravings, but he finally gave up. The young man must not be in this mood when he encountered such a blow.

When dealing with Chen Kaizhi, he also felt a little more kind of gentle, but he always had his eyebrows locked, looking very worried about Chen Kaizhi.

It was still dawn of Tiangang. Mr. Fang talked about some of the contents of "Shangshu". Chen Kaizhi was about to get up and say goodbye, and he was about to go to the official school to study.

He bowed and said, "Mr., don't the senior brother send a letter every early in the month?"

He also found it strange that his mentor was always frowning these days.

"Ah... is here..." Mr. Fang made a bitter face.

You are still crying when you come? Chen Kaizhi shook his head in his heart and said, "I wonder what the senior brother said in his letter?"

Mr. Fang's expression became strange. I wonder if he should smile. It's not appropriate. The disciple who closed down suffered a big blow. How could he laugh? Don't laugh...

Mr. Fang said: "Your senior brother heard that the mountains and flowing waters were composed by you. He was very happy for you. He said that if you enter the Beijing imperial examination in the future, you will definitely meet you well. You are Boya and he is Zhong Ziqi."

Boya and Zhong Ziqi are a couple of friends that have been passed down through the ages. Boya is good at playing and Zhong Ziqi is good at appreciating. After that, Zhong Ziqi died of illness. Boya was extremely sad and believed that no matter how ignorant there was in the world, no one in the world could understand the artistic conception of his playing like Zhong Ziqi. Therefore, he "breaked the strings of the piano", smashed his favorite piano and stopped playing the piano for the rest of his life.

Chen Kaizhi smiled and said, "If you have the chance, students must pay a good visit to their senior brother."

But Mr. Fang's heart was bleeding, and he couldn't help but think that I want to be Zhong Ziqi even more.

Unfortunately, he couldn't say these words, and waved his hand unenergizedly, "You go, the government school can't delay it."

Chen Kaizhi nodded, then packed his bookcase and said goodbye.

…………

The prefecture school covers a much larger area than the county school. There are special student dormitories here, which are provided for students from other counties. Chen Kaizhiben also wanted to move here, but unfortunately, because there was a Chen Wuji around him, he simply lived in his original residence.

It was time for class to start, and the students gathered in Minglun Hall in groups of three or three. Chen Kaizhi had been to take classes several times and had a good impression of them. Although there were competition among classmates, Chen Kaizhi was a childlike comparison for the worldly-schooled Chen Kaizhi, so he always seemed very humble, and his classmates also loved to deal with him.

However, today Chen Kaizhi entered Minglun Hall and found that an uninvited guest came here.

But when Zhang Ruyu was joking with several students, he glanced at Chen Kaizhi coming, and laughed: "Our Chen Caizi is here."

The tone in this sentence is obviously ridiculous and also has the meaning of sowing discord.

Some students feel uncomfortable, no one is the first in literature and no one is the second in martial arts. It is very common for literati to be inferior to each other, let alone all young students.

Seeing the faces of all the classmates, Chen Kaizhi silently came to his desk and put down the bookcase.

Zhang Ruyu seemed very proud and continued, "Chen Caizi, you and I were classmates in the county school, but how did you forget me today? Oh, you are so unrighteous. I am a student in the prison. In a few days, I will go to study in the Imperial College. There are many friends here. Today, I will take this opportunity to visit you."

He seemed very enthusiastic and everyone saw it. If Chen Kaizhi seemed too arrogant at this time, it would probably trigger other people's guesses.

Chen Kaizhi thought to himself, boy, you are still young when you play this trick with me.

Chen Kaizhi smiled slightly. His smile was not as hypocritical as Zhang Ruyu. He stood up and bowed to Zhang Ruyu and said, "I am worried about Brother Zhang, Chen is lucky in his three lives."

You're welcome to be polite.

Chen Kaizhi likes to stab people in the back. Instead of having verbal disputes with such people, it is better to go around him and give him a little bit of a head.

Zhang Ruyu originally wanted to anger Chen Kaizhi so that the boy would be angry and make people look at the boy's ugly appearance.
