Be a master through ancient times

Chu Ci had never seen Kou Jing lose his temper before, and when he first heard this voice, he was still a little inexplicable, not knowing who he was talking to.

Based on the principle that eavesdropping is not good, Chu Ci knocked on the courtyard door first, and then walked in openly, he wanted to listen openly!

When Kou Jing saw him coming in, the expression on his face instantly turned soft, he took two steps forward and lifted the things in Chu Ci's hands, and said in a low voice: "Huaijin, you go inside to have a rest first, I'll go in right away. "

Chu Ci looked at the slightly nervous expression on his face, did not follow his words, but turned his head and looked at the other person in the yard.Looking at it this way, it's incredible.

The man in the courtyard was dressed in white, handsome and handsome, with a mature charm accumulated over the years. When he saw Chu Ci looking over, he smiled at him in a gentle manner. A feeling like spring breeze.

This is a person who can make people feel good when they meet.Chu Ci made a judgment in his heart.However, he didn't have the slightest affection for this person.

Kou Jing has never been an aimless person. There must be a reason for him to be so angry. The person in front of him is the chief culprit of his anger.

"Brother, as the owner of this courtyard, how can Chu Ci hide in the house alone and not entertain guests when there are guests coming? Dare I ask your surname Gao, what is your business here today?" Chu Ci She also smiled at him, but there was no kindness in the words that came out of her mouth.

"This is Chu Siye, right? My surname is Zhongli, and I have a single name of love. I am Jinger's brother-in-law, and today I want to invite Jinger to my humble house. On the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival, we should have a reunion every two months." " Zhong Liqing said with a smile.

Is he that scumbag? !Xiao Yu'er's biological father, the husband of sister Kou's sister, that scholar who has climbed to the top?Chu Ci couldn't help sighing, no wonder, he could make the elder sister of the Kou family, who is well-read in poetry and books, secretly agree, and also make the daughter of the dignified county lord fall in love with him at first sight. His appearance is absolutely unfavorable in front of girls.

"I heard that Mr. Zhongli has another wife, why don't you stay at home with his wife and young son, and have a family reunion? What's more, Brother Jing saw that I was helpless in this capital, and he had already agreed to celebrate the festival with me. I'm afraid Mr. Zhongli's trip was in vain." Chu Ci gestured to see off the guests.

Zhong Liqing frowned slightly, and said: "Even though Chu Siye is the owner of this yard and Jing'er's sworn brother, he shouldn't make the decision for Jing'er. My father-in-law and Rou'er are both dead. It's far away in Xijiang Province, and now in the capital, Jing'er has only me as a relative, why does Chu Siye want to prevent me from being reunited?"

Hearing what he said, it seems that Chu Ci is a villain. Chu Ci chuckled and said: "Mr. Zhongli's words are wrong. There are several people from the Kou family who are also in the capital. They are all in the same spirit, so what Will you be the only family member? Just out of brotherhood, Brother Jing decided to stay with me. Do you want him to be an unrighteous person by saying this?"

Zhong Liqing was taken aback for a moment, then smiled again: "I don't mean that, actually, I also thought of this point, and originally planned to invite Chu Siye to go to the humble house together for the festival. In this way, you and Jing'er will not be separated, we will Being able to reunite with Jing'er, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds, I don't know what Chu Siye intends?"

"I'm sorry, you and I have no relatives and no reason. Chu is a cautious person. If I go to the mansion, I'm afraid I won't even be able to eat. It's better to come here in this simple courtyard." Chu Ci raised his eyebrows and said directly He refused, and he didn't even bother to think of excuses.

"Since Chu Siye won't go, I won't force you. Jing'er, what about you? Rou'er left a lot of things in the courtyard in the past. I originally thought that I would invite you to celebrate the festival together and then hand them over to you. " Zhong Liqing turned to face Kou Jing, with a natural smile in his brows and eyes, but the hint in his words was extremely strong.

Chu Ci was annoyed that this villain actually used Kou Jing's deceased sister's belongings to persecute him.Forget it, face is something you can't eat, so just don't want it.Just as Chu Ci was about to change his words and say that he still decided to go to him, Kou Jing hugged him in front of him, preventing him from opening his mouth.

"I won't go there. Sister has always been a free and easy person, and never takes those dead things to heart. As far as she is concerned, as long as Yu'er and I live well, she is satisfied. Other things, don't mind What's more, sister would never want me to step into that place. As a younger brother, I should obey the last wish of the deceased and not accompany you. Please!"

Kou Jing's low voice rang in Chu Ci's ears, and his expression seemed very calm, but Chu Ci knew that he must feel uncomfortable when mentioning the dead sister.

Zhong Liqing's expression finally changed, becoming sad and sad.He stared at Kou Jing for a long time, finally sighed and left.

"Go in, I've already had someone prepare meals. Didn't you mention that you wanted to eat crabs during the Mid-Autumn Festival last time? I asked someone to prepare a basket, steamed a few today, and kept the rest in the lotus vat." Kou Jing let go of her hand and took a slight step back.

"Really? My friend and I were talking about crabs today." Seeing that he was pretending to be nonchalant, Chu Ci stopped mentioning it. "Why hasn't Dumb come back from the car? I'll go and call him."

"No, he's here." Kou Jing signaled Chu Ci to look at the gate of the courtyard. After a few breaths, he saw Zhang Hu walking in while turning his head.

As soon as Zhang Hu entered, he saw Chu Ci and Kou Jing staring at him, and he was at a loss for what to do.He straightened his clothes and straightened his hair, for fear that there was something wrong with him.

Kou Jing suddenly laughed, which made Zhang Hu more restrained. He looked down at his clothes, looking for any stains.

Chu Ci didn't understand at the beginning, but after seeing Kou Jing's narrow eyes, he suddenly understood.Kou Jing is laughing at how Duhu arranges his clothes, which is very similar to his usual appearance when he is out of the house.

"What's so funny, only maintaining a dignified demeanor outside can leave a good impression on people. Dahu, you are right, and you will continue to do so in the future!" Chu Ci glared at Kou Jing, turned and walked in.

Kou Jing couldn't help but beckoned to Zhang Hu, and walked in, leaving the bewildered Duhu standing on the spot and asking "Ah" to express his doubts. , totally forgot.

The rare richness on the table today, none of them are extravagant people, they usually eat from the canteen.It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and everyone in the dining hall had gone back, so Kou Jing booked such a table at a huge price, plus the extra prepared crabs and the roast duck brought back by Chu Ci, it looked exciting.

After the three of Chu Ci sat down, they raised their glasses and drank the sweet-scented osmanthus wine before starting to eat.The crab has a round belly, tied with straw and steamed in a steamer until its whole body is red.

Zhang Hu grabbed a crab, gnawed on it, and began to cry.

"Dahu, what's wrong with you?" Chu Ci was a little strange and asked with concern. Could it be that he was hurt by the crab claws?

"I miss my father..." Zhang Hu said with tears, since he followed the master to Beijing last year, he hadn't seen them again.Now eating crabs, I can't help but think of my hometown.At that time, their family was poor and they couldn't eat, so they always went to the rubble near the pier to catch small crabs and cook them in a big pot. Although it didn't taste very good, it was very happy for the family to eat together.

Chu Ci had no choice but to comfort him, telling him to find a boat for a while and let him go home and have a look.Unexpectedly, Zhang Hu refused straight away: "No, my father told me to follow the master. I won't leave until the master leaves!" He wiped away his tears vigorously, and began to chew the crab again.

Well, it really is a child's heart, cry as soon as you say, just say yes, and live a simple life is not bad.Chu Ci smiled, also picked up a crab, broke off a leg, and slowly began to eat the meat. His manner was gentle, and he looked much better than Zhang Hu.

However, all this was overshadowed by the eight pieces of crab that Kou Jing took out.Seeing that Chu Ci was not able to eat meat, he took a crab, fiddled with it smoothly, and picked out a plate full of crab meat and crab roe.He adjusted some ginger vinegar, and pushed the picked crab meat in front of Chu Ci.

Seeing that Chu Ci hadn't moved for a long time, he raised his head.Both Chu Ci and Zhang Hu looked at him with their mouths slightly open in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Kou Jing was puzzled.

"How do you use these things so proficiently?" Chu Ci always felt that Yi Koujing's character should not be such a particular person.

"When my father was around, he liked crabs the most. After autumn, he would eat them every few days." Kou Jing said. He put the crab shells in front of him together, but found that he couldn't eat them no matter what. With such a complete crab shell, every time it is put together, it seems that it has never been opened.

Chu Ci fell silent, the two of them thought of their father, one was separated in life and the other in death.As for him, life and death count.

His modern relatives will never be seen again, and the relatives here cannot be reunited because of the long distance. They can only look at the full moon in the sky and express their thoughts from afar.

Chu Ci misses them in his heart, so why don't they miss Chu Ci?

……

In Yuanshan County, Brother Chu hinted at Chu Xiaoyuan with his eyes, and Chu Xiaoyuan understood, and brought a piece of meat to Chu's mother's mouth: "Grandma, you eat, this meat is delicious."

Mother Chu came back to her senses, withdrew her eyes from staring outside, opened her mouth to take the piece of meat that Chu Xiaoyuan had picked up, smiled wrinkled her face, and said with relief, "Xiaoyuan is so good."

As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Shanshan, who was sitting next to her and wrapped in a red jacket like a little Fuwa, tugged at the corner of her clothes and looked at her with big eyes.

"Okay, Shanshan is good too." Mother Chu touched her little head, and put a spoonful of custard into her mouth.

"Mother, let me feed you. You can eat by yourself first." Shen Xiuniang wanted to carry Chu Shanshan over.

"No need, I'm old and can't eat too much. You guys eat, I'll just feed Shanshan." Mother Chu shook her head, telling her not to hug her.

Chu Guang looked at the untouched rice in her bowl, sighed, and said, "Mother, what can you do if you only eat so much? If Xiao Er knows, he will blame me and his sister-in-law for not taking good care of you, so that you can't take care of me." You are all skinny. Do you still remember the clothes that Xiaoer sent back? It doesn’t look good when you’re skinny.”

Mother Chu gave him a reproachful look: "Since when did you learn to be as glib as Xiaoer?"

Chu Guang suddenly scratched his head in embarrassment: "You can see it. It's not because I see that you miss Xiaoer too much, so I just imitate him to make you happy."

"He is him, you are you, you don't need to imitate him, both of you are mother's good children. Xiao Er is alone, mother must worry a little more, especially on such a day, I will I'm afraid he'll be alone and helpless." When Chu's mother thought of this, her nose turned sour.

"Grandma Chu, don't be sad. My uncle is with me. My uncle is a great general. He is very powerful!" Seeing that she wanted to cry, Zhong Liyu comforted her.

"Yes, grandma. Brother Qin is also there, as well as Uncle Yu'er, Uncle Dahu, Brother Qiao Nan, they will all be with my uncle!" Chu Xiaoyuan also hurriedly said, Chu Ci's letter always It was conveyed by him, he knew the situation of my uncle very well.

Chu's mother wiped away her tears with a smile, and nodded again and again: "Yes, we, Ah Ci, with the help of noble people, no matter where he is, he will have a good life. Let's have dinner. Such a large table of dishes can't be eaten in previous years." Here we go!"

After hearing what she said, everyone began to eat happily again.

At night, the round moon hangs in the sky, covering the earth with a layer of brilliance.Chu Xiaoyuan held the pen, leaned on the table, and wrote seriously:

"My dear uncle, it's like seeing words: Although I only received the letter and things you sent back not long ago, I still feel that I miss you very much. This may be taught by my husband. It is like three autumns after not seeing each other. Speaking of Sir, I have to say, Mr. Shen will prepare for the provincial examination a year later, so he will not teach us anymore. The new master is very fierce, and if he can’t recite the book, he will slap his palms, which hurts! But Yu’er and I have never I haven't been beaten before, hehe... Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Grandma misses you so much that I want to cry. I want to cry too, but a man is a man. I will take good care of grandma and not let my uncle down. Grandma I made you a new padded jacket, and my mother will also give it to you..." Chu Xiaoyuan scratched his head, and asked Zhong Liyu in a low voice, "Yu'er, how do you write the character Na on the sole of the shoe?"

Zhong Liyu took the pen and wrote the character Na on the letter paper.Chu Xiaoyuan was satisfied, and then wrote:

"...I bought a few pairs of soles. She said that my uncle likes thicker ones, so I bought more than a dozen layers! Now, uncle, you don't have to worry about running out of shoes... Shanshan can already speak, but she Very lazy, not talkative at all. I heard from the aunt next door that if the little girl is so lazy, she will not be able to find her husband’s family. I am very worried. Well, it seems that I will study hard in the future and earn more money. Then Shanshan won't be afraid if she doesn't get married, who calls me a brother..."

Zhong Liyu counted the pages and reminded: "Already wrote almost five sheets. Grandpa Qin won't let you write so much. He said that if you write so much nonsense, you won't send it for you next time."

Chu Xiaoyuan was very angry: "He himself writes seven or eight sheets every time, and the characters are so small! This is clearly... just..."

"Only the state officials are allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps?" Zhong Liyu guessed.

"Yes!" Chu Xiaoyuan nodded his head heavily, and then continued to write: "Uncle, that's all I wrote. The master won't let me write more than five, so I have to write again next time. You have to take care of yourself outside, don't I'm sick! Nephew Xiaoyuan."

The next day, Master Qin got the letter that Chu Xiaoyuan asked him to send.Master Qin didn't open the letter he wrote for Mother Chu, Brother Chu, but Master Qin opened the letter he wrote himself without mercy.Because he knew that every time this little brat wrote a letter, he would sue his apprentice.

Sure enough, I said it again this time.Master Qin was so angry that he opened his letter again and added a few lines at the end.

"This son has a lot of gossip, and this move is also to make his articles more and more incisive. The old man thinks five is a bit much, what do you think, Ah Ci?"
