Be a master through ancient times

"Quickly, kick over, kick over!" A teenager shouted while rushing forward.

"How can I be kicked when I'm blocked by two or three people! Come and help me stop people!" Another boy said angrily.

As soon as the others heard this, they hurriedly ran towards this side, and then stopped those who stood in front of the boy.

"Look at Grandpa's kick at the goal!" The boy escaped from the encirclement, and instead of passing the ball to anyone else, he shot directly at the Merry Eye on the goal net.

Unfortunately, he missed the shot and the ball flew directly towards the outer wall.As soon as Chu Ci and Zhang Hu turned the corner, they saw a ball flying towards them.

Even if it is a modern hollow football, it is very dangerous to hit someone.This ancient cuju is made of leather on the outside and rice bran on the inside. If Chuci, the five scumbags of Zhan, was hit by this ball, he would probably have a concussion.

It was too late to say it, but Zhang Hu from behind suddenly raised his leg and kicked the flying Cuju hard, and the thing flew away in an instant.

Chu Ci breathed a sigh of relief, and patted Zhang Hu on the shoulder: "Da Hu, thanks to you."

Zhang Hu smiled and said, "Master, this is what I should do."

The boy over there was originally a little embarrassed because he almost kicked someone, but seeing that he was fine, he ran over to pick up the Cuju on the ground.

However, when he ran to Cuju who was kicked away, he was suddenly dumbfounded.

"Hey, Shiro! Why don't you pick up the Cuju?" His companions shouted in the distance.

"Come and see for yourself!" Jiang Xian was extremely depressed.

The other boys ran over laughing and laughing, and they were also dumbfounded.This Cuju was actually broken, and the rice bran inside also came out.

"This, this, this, I just bought this yesterday! It's made of high-quality leather, and the store said it won't break after a long time of kicking! I'll find him later!" The one who spoke was the boy who called Chuanqiu just now, His name is Zhu Feng.

"Stupid, do you think it looks like we kicked it? The thread on it is broken, this is a silver thread, and the leather is often broken, but this thing is still tight!"

"Then, is that what that person kicked like that just now?" The person took a breath, and then looked at Zhang Hu with fearful eyes.

Seeing that there was no need to kick Cuju, the others dispersed with a coaxing sound.In the huge field, only Jiang Xian and the others were left in an instant.They ignored the broken Cuju on the ground, and surrounded Zhang Hu one after another, watching Zhang Hu so hard that he couldn't help but hide behind Chu Ci.

"Are you a new student?" Jiang Xian saw Chu Ci's tender face, so he asked.

Chu Ci smiled but said nothing, Jiang Xian said again: "You should be in the inner court, why did you come to the outer court?"

"Is the outer court not good?" Chu Ci asked.

"Okay, it's okay." Jiang Xian smiled mockingly.

"That's all right, then I've come to the right place." Chu Ci also smiled.

"Hey, Shiro, this cuju is broken, what shall we play again?" Wu Guang interrupted them directly, looking bored.

"Why don't you climb over the wall and go out for a stroll?" Someone suggested.

Chu Ci took a look and found that the surrounding walls were almost three meters high, "This wall is so high, how did you get over it?"

"Isn't that simple?" said the student who suggested it just now. He was a little fat, and he had a wicked smile. "You come with me."

Chu Ci followed him to the wall, and saw the fat man fiddled with the wall a few times, and took out several bricks one by one.The originally airtight wall turned into a straight ladder in an instant.

He grabbed the top with his hands, kicked and kicked, and immediately climbed up.

The other three people also gathered around and said, "Old Zhu, what's the matter with you? How can you tell others our secret?"

"What kind of secret is this, and isn't he from the outer courtyard? Know what this is! Could it be that he would have someone seal this place?" Zhu Mingyue said indifferently while riding on the wall, because he liked this person very much.Zhu Mingyue's name sounded a bit like a girl's, so he never let them be called by their names.

Chu Ci touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed, he really had to have this place sealed off.

"When I came over just now, I saw that the old master in the teaching dormitory seemed to be waking up soon, do you want to go out?" Chu Ci said.

"Hey, don't be afraid. Old Master Zhang has already put calming soup in the tea he drank. Will he wake up in the afternoon?" Zhu Feng grinned. This soothing soup was drunk by his grandfather. He stole a bag from home, and as long as he put a little in Old Master Zhang's tea bowl, they would be able to enjoy themselves all afternoon.

"Oh, that's how it is." Chu Ci nodded, "Aren't you afraid of drinking Master Zhang to death?"

"Is this good enough to drink?" Zhu Feng's eyes widened, "This is prescribed by Imperial Doctor Qian for my grandfather to drink as tea at night, unless he wants to kill him!"

Chu Ci pondered his words carefully, it sounds like this student has an unusual family background.

"Do you still want to go out?" Zhu Ming, who was riding on the wall, became a little impatient.

"Go out, get out! Lao Zhu, you step aside." Zhu Feng said, and climbed up in twos and twos, and then Wu Guang climbed up the wall.

"Silang, why don't you come up?" The three of them sat on the wall and looked at Jiang Xian.

Jiang Xian looked at Chu Ci: "Do you want to go with us?" He made it clear that he wanted to drag Chu Ci into the water, and as long as he also went, he could not complain.

Chu Ci shrugged his shoulders, can he succeed if he doesn't go?It is necessary to find out the route of these brats playing truant.He pinned the fan around his waist, grabbed the hole in the wall with his hands, and slowly climbed up.Jiang Xian, who was beside him, gave him a contemptuous look, then grabbed a hole in the wall, kicked his feet, lightened his body, and stood on top of the wall.

He jumped down first, and then called the others to go down.After Chu Ci climbed up, he realized that there was a wooden ladder leaning against the wall, and he could just go down the wooden ladder when he climbed to the top of the wall.

No wonder they kept calling Shiro!It turned out that no one dared to go down!

He stepped on the ladder carefully and climbed down, followed by Zhang Hu.Zhang Hu's chest was bulging, and he didn't know what it was filled with.

"Let's go! Master invites you to go to the opera!" Zhu Feng shook the purse in his hand and said tremblingly.

Chu Ci followed behind them and took a detour from a small road behind the Imperial College, without going through the mountain gate at all, but had to cross a river when going down the mountain.

Just as Chu Ci was about to ask, Wu Guang and Zhu Mingyue dragged a wooden plank from somewhere familiarly, and when they put it on it, they walked over.

Good guy, just to skip school, why go to such lengths?Those who didn't know thought there were some monsters and ghosts in it!Chu Ci sometimes really doesn't understand what these students think. Isn't learning a happy thing?

After crossing the river, the group walked for a while, and came to a street in the north. There was a lot of people here, and there were customers in the shops on both sides.Compared with Wenxingfang where Chuci lives, this place is much more lively.

Zhu Feng and the others walked into a theater called "Changyin Pavilion", threw an ingot of ingots there, and asked for a private room to sit in.

He is obviously a teenager, but he is very mature and sophisticated when doing these things, completely different from those young people in Chu Ci's hometown.

"Hey, it's your first day here. Let me order a play first. By the way, what's your name?" Zhu Feng suddenly remembered that the student who came with them with a smile in front of him didn't even tell them his name.

"My surname is Chu. You can call me Brother Chu. I don't know your names yet."

"Is a name worth hiding? You are so unhappy! My name is Zhu Feng, his name is Zhu Mingyue, you can only call him Lao Zhu. He is Wu Guang, you can call him Ah Guang. He is Jiang Xian, we all call him Shiro." Zhu Feng was obviously a talkative person, he had despised Chu Ci for refusing to reveal their names before, but later he said all of them's names.

"It's a pleasure meeting everyone. You will know my name tomorrow, so don't be too surprised then." Chu Ci smiled mysteriously.

"The one whose surname is Chu?" Zhu Feng and the others looked at each other. Are there any dignitaries in the capital whose surname is Chu?They thought for a while, and they thought that Chu Ci's father was probably a certain feudal official who had just been transferred back to the capital.

Chu Ci sat with the group of fur kids and listened to a few plays, which made him want to doze off.To be honest, in terms of music, Chu Ci has never had much appreciation.

The furry kids also looked a bit lacking in interest. They leaned back on the chairs, drinking tea and eating snacks, occasionally shaking their heads to follow the drama below, with a pale and empty expression on their faces.How much do fifteen or sixteen-year-olds like listening to opera?They just don't know how to pass the time, they can only imitate those dandies outside, and stay in the theater all day long, ignoring the outside world.

……

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the flood in Xi County has gradually receded, and the local people have begun to use work as relief to rebuild their homes."

"Love ministers have worked hard these days. These days I get up early and stay late to deal with these matters. Tomorrow, I will allow you to rest for a day and not go to court." Tianhe Emperor looked at the black and blue eyes of the officials from the Ministry of Industry and Housekeeping, and felt a little bit unbearable in his heart.

"Your Majesty, you are the hardest one. You have to deal with floods and other affairs. You work so hard for the country and the people, how can we dare to say that we are tired?" the Minister of the Household Department said.

"Haha, the matter of flood control depends entirely on Zhuangyuanlang's article, and I still have to think of a reward for him. If I remember correctly, his name seems to be included in the article on snow disaster control back then. Now that I think about it , maybe the article at that time was also written by him."

"Congratulations to Your Majesty for getting this talented person, this is indeed His Majesty's good fortune." Minister of the Ministry of Industry said immediately.

"Haha, the number one scholar has indeed made some achievements in this matter. By the way, can the number one scholar go to the Imperial Academy? It will be Duanyang soon, let him write a sacrificial oration."

"Well, I have been worrying about the flood recently, but I didn't pay attention to the whereabouts of the champion. This matter is under the management of the Ministry of Officials, so it's better for your majesty to call the Minister of the Ministry of Officials to ask about it." The Minister of the Household Department suggested.

Don't say they really don't know the whereabouts of Zhuangyuanlang.Even if you know it, you can't say it!The emperor is a suspicious creature. If he thinks about it one day, he will think, well, you have a household department and a work department that are in charge, and even have a hand in the appointment of officials by the imperial court!Do you think they will be wronged by then?

Sure enough, the emperor was not angry at all, he just said that it was late today, and he would stay and ask questions after the court tomorrow morning.

The next day, Minister of the Ministry of Officials stayed tremblingly. Hearing that His Majesty was asking about this matter, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked someone to send up the roster of this year's dispatched officials.

At the top of the roster, the name Chu Ci is written.What followed behind him was not the editor of the Imperial Academy, but the Secretary of the Imperial Academy.

"Why did he go to the Imperial College?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials explained: "This is the place that Zhuangyuanlang himself chose. I heard from the people below that Zhuangyuanlang seems to want to imitate the sages and have peaches and plums all over the world, so he chose this place."

"Absurd, how can the imperial court officials be chosen by themselves? If he wants to change his place one day, is it up to him to decide!" The emperor couldn't help coughing loudly when he said the excitement, and the eunuch next to him quickly patted his back Give him tea to help him relax.

"Call him for me, I want to ask him personally." Tianhe Emperor calmly ordered after recovering.

When the Minister of the Ministry of Officials heard it, he suddenly became ill.When the number one scholar came to the Ministry of Officials, he hid on purpose, in order to disassociate this matter from him.If he is called now, if he says something unpleasant, wouldn't he suffer?

"Well, Your Majesty, I heard that there is some misunderstanding between the number one scholar and the First Prince..."

"You bastard!" The emperor was furious, this is how you talk to smart people, you never need to break the topic, it's easy to understand.

"You go down first! Come on, tell the eldest prince!"

If the Minister of the Ministry of Officials was granted an amnesty, he immediately fled with his tail between his legs.Not long after, a figure walked unsteadily towards this side.

He entered the imperial study room and saluted casually, "Father, what is the matter for you to call my son here?"

"You bastard, where did your etiquette go?" Seeing his foolish look, the emperor felt angry.

"Father, didn't you say that our private relationship is the same as in the palace? Why do you want your sons and ministers to talk about etiquette now?" On the contrary, the eldest prince also looked aggrieved.

"You!" The emperor swallowed hard and asked, "Why did you meddle in the appointment of officials by the bureaucracy? Who gave you the right to interfere in state affairs!"

"Isn't it a slave when it comes to important national affairs? It doesn't matter where you go to work." He said indifferently.

"Shut up! You bastard, who told you to confuse a courtier with a slave? Go back to Chengqian Palace, copy the national law ten times, and don't come out until you finish copying!" The emperor grabbed the teacup and went He slammed past his feet.

"Hmph! If you don't come out, you won't come out! You and the queen mother have changed!" The eldest prince was also indignant. Over the past year, he has been scolded more than in the previous 20 years!

The emperor was so angry that he trembled. After he left, he asked the eunuch next to him with a wry smile.

"Yuande, tell me, did Zhen and the queen spoil him?"

"Your Majesty, the First Prince is still young."

"He's still young? Well, not to mention comparing with the second child, even the fourth child's heart, he can't compare to him!" The emperor sighed, "Forget it, let's wrong the number one scholar for now, and we will treat him later." Transfer to the Imperial Academy. By the way, this time he has made meritorious contributions, and the reward will be given to him twice as usual."

"The slave obeys."

……

Chu Ci didn't know that there would be a large wave of rewards coming towards him. He was wearing an official uniform and was heading towards the outer courtyard under the leadership of Wang Jijiu.

At this time, more than 200 students and more than 20 doctoral students in the outer courtyard were standing under the sun, waiting for the newly appointed Lord Si Ye to come and give lectures.
