Chapter 58: Taixue

The weather gradually became colder. When he woke up, the cool breeze poured into the inner room. Chen Ao had a cold war and realized that the window was not closed. He went to close the window dizzyly. Chun'er curled his hands outside and shouted, "Brother Shen, Brother Shen, a monk came to the mansion today, and the wife asked you to come over."

It was Chun'er. Chen Ao poked his head out excitedly and said with a smile: "Chun'er, you're fine, come in and talk."

Chun'er's pretty face blushed to her ears, stamped her feet, bit her lip and said, "Miss tells me to ignore you, let alone enter your room." She turned around and went quickly.

Wow, it hurts people's self-esteem. It's like a tiger. I didn't expect that being arrogant is even more terrifying than being harsh.

Chen Ao went to wear clothes with his shoes, and then he remembered that his stomach was empty and wanted to go to the kitchen to find something to eat, but when his wife was waiting to reply, he could not delay any longer. He rushed to the Buddhist temple and met a few girls on the way. When he saw Chen Ao, he laughed and looked at Chen Ao up and down.

Chen Ao walked over to them and heard their voices whispering: "It was this Chen Shutong who teased Chun'er. Yesterday, I saw Chun'er enter his bedroom with his own eyes. Later, the eldest lady took her out angrily..."

"Yes, yes, Chun'er hasn't talked to anyone for a day since she came out. Even Xiang'er, who is the best friend of her, didn't care. Xiang'er said she cried last night."

This voice came to Chen Ao's ears. Chen Ao looked back and wanted to see who was talking bad things behind the scenes. The girls suddenly scattered like beasts and all ran away. It seemed that Chen Ao's reputation was not very good in the eyes of the girls. It was very bad, and it was similar to the hooligan bad guys on the street.

However, men are not bad, women do not love them. Although these people are pointing fingers, there are clearly a few beautiful people who don’t forget to give Chen Aoan a surprise before leaving.

"It's too bad, too bad." Chen Ao felt very pure in his heart, but he thought of Chun'er, and his emotions were a little depressed. He was a man, so he was naturally not afraid of people saying it, but Chun'er was different. No wonder Chun'er did this today. It seems that he had to quickly eliminate the impact of this matter.

He arrived at the Buddhist temple with a lot of thoughts. Now Shen Ao has a different identity, so naturally no one needs to inform him. When he walked straight in, there were still many people inside. The most eye-catching three bald monks, Chen Ao recognized them, one was Kongjing, the other was Kongding, and the other was Shi Xiaohu, a little monk who was said to be good at martial arts.

The two great monks sat on the cushion, and the little monk sat among them. The great monk was preaching scriptures to his wife, but the little monk held his eyes and did not move, as if he had entered a state of meditation.

The lady was kneeling on the cushion, with a pious look on her face, and nodding her head constantly, echoing the words of the monk. Chun'er stood behind the lady and saw Chen Ao coming in, and hurriedly turned her face over. Chen Ao could clearly see that crystal tears were trembling under her eyelashes.

Chen Ao looked at her with great distress. He was a casual person. He could not have imagined that a small thing would cause her such a great embarrassment. No, he was a man and had to take responsibility. When he found the ring for the Duke, he would settle the matter.

On the other hand, Zhou Ruo, who was sitting on the side of the wife, looked at Chen Ao coldly, and his contempt was revealed. Chen Ao saw it but did not complain. He had to admit his mistakes and stood attentive when he was beaten. He didn't realize the seriousness of the problem yesterday, but just regarded it as a joke. However, when he saw the consequences of today, and looked at the pitiful Chun'er, Chen Ao realized that this was not the time and space where beasts danced around. Although Zhu Zi's false seriousness has not yet made his debut, some things still have taboos.

Seeing Chen Ao come in, the lifeless monk tilted his head and immediately showed joy and said with a smile: "Donor Chen, what about fun things." The little monk has a good memory and still remembers that Chen Ao said he wanted to bring him fun things when he said goodbye last time. Wow, it's so realistic. People who know martial arts are different, and they are so righteous even if they ask for gifts.

Chen Ao laughed and went to see his wife first. The wife said with a smile: "Look, the master is here. The two Zen masters have been waiting for you for a long time. You should sit down quickly. Where is Heng'er? Why haven't you seen others in the past two days? I'll teach him to listen to the principles of the two Zen masters, and his mind is not so wild."

Zhou Ruo said: "My father is looking for him everywhere, and he dare not come out."

The secret of heaven was revealed in one sentence, and both the wife and Shen Ao laughed. Chen Ao took the opportunity to glance at Chun'er, and couldn't help but see Chun'er. After all, she was still a girl's character, and no matter how worried she was, she would stretch. Chen Ao blinked at him, and she suddenly panicked again and hid in hiding.

The little monk Shi Xiaohu said again: "Donor Shen, what about fun things." He was unreasonable and full of longing.

It was pitiful to Dingjing. The two monks Dingkong coughed and were so nervous that they couldn't teach this disobedient child in front of their wife, but they could not let go of his face. When they saw that, wow, they were also a master monk, and even the young monk couldn't teach him well, so how could they still be in the monk world?

Chen Ao laughed and said, "I forgot today and I will bring it to you next time. Who knows you suddenly came to me?"

Shi Xiaohu thought about it and nodded seriously, "Okay, I will remember it next time, don't lie to me."

"How dare I lie to you? This book boy is most afraid of violent men." Chen Ao thought to himself, and quickly agreed, not daring to bother him anymore. He said to Dingkong: "Zen Master, I wonder what you are here to do today?"

Kong Ding said, "I am ashamed to say that, this is the case. That day you left behind a magic treasure in the temple. Today, a donor came to the temple. He valued your paintings very much, saying that he wanted to meet the donor."

"See me?" Chen Ao smiled, but then he thought that if this person wants to see me, he would just ask someone to inform him. Lingyin Temple is a large temple issued by the imperial court. It actually worked two Zen masters to ask for someone. This person's identity is extraordinary.

But... Is this book boy who goes there just by saying that he will go there? If he doesn't go, he will come to come by himself. It's dozens of miles away. Do you think a human is a dog? He will come and go there immediately after summoning him.

Chen Ao made up his mind and smiled and said, "If you have any trouble, Zen Master Kongding will tell him, and he will say that I am in peace and will not go." He pursed his lips, smiled, and continued, "If he has something urgent, come to the Duke's Mansion to see me."

The lady also spoke, "This is the reason. This person is too unreasonable. Chen Ao is not a slave. How could he be so troubled? Go back and tell him that he is coming. The Duke's Mansion opens the door to greet him. If he puts on airs, the stone lion in front of the Duke's Mansion will be so shameless?"

The lady means that our Duke’s Mansion is also well-known, and she did not treat Chen Ao nowadays and put it on the side.

Kong Ding was quite embarrassed, and quickly clasped his hands and said, "It's really arrogance. Since the donor doesn't go, I don't have any reason to invite him again. Let's say goodbye now."

Chen Ao stopped him and said, "Since you are here, why bother to leave so quickly."

Kong Ding really wanted to stay here, so it would be nice to discuss calligraphy and painting with Shen Ao here. Last time, Chen Ao left a painting of a monk's poem and painting. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally had some understanding. Recently, he has known his writing skills and wanted to ask Chen Ao for advice. However, when he remembered the guest of Lingyin Temple, this idea was dispelled and said, "If you come to the city next time, I will come to visit you, and I am afraid I will not be able to do it today."

Speaking of this, I could only let them go. The wife personally sent them to the outer palace and turned them back with Chen Ao, saying, "The master liked you very much yesterday. I told you many benefits at night. Chen Ao, you read more these days, maybe..." She smiled and said kindly: "Maybe you don't have to go to the Imperial Academy as a book boy in a few days. The master is active to see if he can win a place for you."

Entering the Imperial Academy is equivalent to being a tribute student, which is equivalent to not having to pass the lower-level scholar exam and being qualified to directly conduct the provincial exam.

At this time, there were a lot of students from Tai students, with thousands of people. Most of them were recruited from officials under the eighth rank or excellent children of ordinary people. In addition, the Imperial College is also called Taixue. The students in it are the same as the Taixue, and they all belong to the category of tribute students, but the students recruited are the children of officials above the seventh rank or noble tribe members. The arrogant Taixue is different from Zhou Hengjin, but the identities are still the same. Ordinary people call them Taixue students.

Chen Ao said gratefully: "I have trouble with Duke Guo and his wife."
