Be a master through ancient times

Chu Ci held a discussion meeting on what the department will do next year. Although the details have not yet been revealed, the purpose is very clear, that is to increase the enrollment rate, improve the enrollment rate, and improve the style of study in Zhangzhou Prefecture.

After the meeting, Chu Ci looked at the sky, roughly estimated the time, and thought it should be around four o'clock.In winter, the days are short and the nights are long, and it is estimated that it will be dark soon.

Chu Ci took out the post sent by the magistrate, rubbed it in his hands twice, then went back to the back hall, changed into casual clothes, and went to the banquet in a carriage.

At the banquet, Chu Ci and several leaders of Zhangzhou Mansion got to know each other.Their attitudes were very enthusiastic, and they began to call each other brothers without saying a few words, and kept toasting Chu Ci.

Anyone who came to Chu Ci would not refuse, as long as the other party gave a reason, he would pick up the wine glass and drink it down.The bold temperament made the other people at the table applaud loudly, and added more wine to Chu Ci amidst the compliments.

Every time Chu Ci got a little drunk, they would ask a few questions on the sidelines. After Chu Ci answered, they started a new round of toasting.

After a few laps, Chu Ci's head was completely dizzy. He stood up and wanted to say goodbye, but fell down on the stool due to too much alcohol, then lay down on the table, and fell asleep soundly.

Seeing this, several other people smiled on their faces.Although they have been drinking with each other all the time, but four of them drink one of them, and it is not enough for them to get drunk too.

"Hey, come in. Master Chu is drunk, so you can take him back to have a rest." The magistrate, who was the lowest at the wine table, opened the door and called Zhang Hu, who was having a banquet outside.

As soon as Zhang Hu heard that the old man was drunk, he rushed inside, squatted down, pulled Chu Ci onto his back, and left.

These adults had never seen such a straightforward and incapable servant, and after watching him leave, they couldn't help but smile.To have such a servant, the master must not be smart.

"I think Mr. Lin is overthinking. This Mr. Chu doesn't seem like a very scheming person." Looking at his appearance on the wine table, he looks like someone who has been in the officialdom all year round. He is clearly a fledgling stunned blue head.

"This kid should not be underestimated. His ability to be feared by Mr. Lin shows that his ability is far more than that."

"So what if he is capable? Since he has come to Zhangzhou Mansion, he must abide by our rules. Even if he is a dragon, he has to be coiled when he comes to our place."

The speaker was very proud, and in his heart, let alone a Chu Ci, even if there were a few more, he would not be afraid.

"Be more careful." Lu Zhifu spoke, and he didn't know if it was an illusion. He always felt that Chu Ci was not such a simple person.

The not-so-simple Chu Ci leaned in the carriage, his face was very rosy from the smell of alcohol, but his eyes were not as blank as before.The heart of defense is indispensable, and Chu Ci's ability to drink one cup after another is naturally something to rely on.In the middle of the banquet, he took a hangover pill under the cover of his sleeve, so he could stay awake throughout the whole scene.

Although Chuci didn't know what kind of medicine they were selling in their gourds, they showed courtesy for nothing--either rape or stealing. Only by staying vigilant and properly suspicious can they stand firm in the officialdom.

……

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve. Early in the morning, officials from the Tixue Division came to the Tixue Hall, put their seals in the box, and handed them to Chu Ci.

Chu Ci put them together with his official seal in a large wooden box, and Xiao Si lit a bunch of incense and distributed it to everyone's hands.

Chu Ci held the incense and stood on the main seat, bowed three times to the box, and other officials followed suit.After saluting, Xiao Wu took the seal, and Chu Ci locked the box, and then put the seal on, and the sealing ceremony was over.

As soon as the ceremony was over, the solemn atmosphere just now turned into a relaxed and lively one. The officials stood together in twos and threes to chat about common matters as if they had unloaded some burden.

Chu Ci was also a little happy in his heart. The official seal was just like when he sent out the last report card before, and he felt much more relaxed physically and mentally.

"The sealing ceremony has been completed, you adults can go home, and come back to open the seal on the seventh day of the first lunar month." As soon as Chu Ci's voice fell, everyone bowed their hands and said goodbye to Chu Ci, and they were waiting for this sentence.

After Chu Ci waited for them to leave, he took Xiao Si and Xiao Wu to inspect the entire Tixue Department, checked every door and window, and called the person who was in charge of the night watch here during the Chinese New Year, and told them to go back if there was anything unusual. church report.After finishing these, Xiaosi Xiaowu also went home.

Chu Ci turned around and walked towards the back hall. When he arrived at the residence, he took off his official uniform and lay down on the bed.In order to hurry these days, he has not had a good rest.As soon as he relaxed at this moment, tiredness hit him immediately, and Chu Ci let himself fall asleep regardless of whether it was still morning.

"Brother Chang Xiao, what's wrong, sir?" Fu Mingan couldn't help but feel a little worried when he saw that he had closed the door tightly as soon as he came back.

Chang Xiao thought for a while, and said, "Master must be tired. When I woke up last night, it was past the third watch, and Master was still sitting at the desk writing something. It seems to be like this for the past few days."

"Then let's keep our voice down and let my husband take a good rest." Fu Mingan said sensiblely. Although he wanted to ask his husband some questions, he would not choose this time.

Chang Xiao nodded and said, "Brother Big Tiger is cooking in the kitchen, let's go over and help. When Mr. Hui wakes up, he can eat directly."

"Ok!"

The two little ones left Chuci's room lightly and headed towards the kitchen...

When Chu Ci woke up, Fu Mingan happened to knock on the door.He only knocked on the door twice and opened it. Looking up, his husband was standing inside with his clothes on and his hair slightly messy, looking at him puzzledly, as if he was asking why he came.

"Sir, it's Shen time now. Every family has to start eating."

Chu Ci was taken aback for a moment, then looked up at the sky, and it was already evening.

"You go first, I will come later."

"Sir, go take a shower first. Today, everyone has to take a shower first, and it will be New Year's Eve when they put on new clothes." Fu Mingan shook his head. He used to do the same at home.

Chu Ci laughed, it really was a child.But seeing the seriousness in his eyes, Chu Ci did as he was.I don't know if it's from his heart, but Chu Ci really has a sense of anticipation for this year.

This is his third year in Dawei.The first Chinese New Year is with the family.At that time, he was just a scholar, relying on the money he earned from illustrations, his family lived happily for a year.

The second Chinese New Year was in Beijing.At that time, there were only him and Dahu.Because the big exam was just around the corner, Chu Ci had no intention of celebrating the New Year at all, and just had a simple meal with Dahu, and made Dahu cry a lot during the period.

The third time is now.Chu Ci decided to avoid that sensitive topic this year, otherwise he would not be able to coax the three of them to cry together this time.

However, some things cannot be avoided.During the dinner, someone recalled the scene of celebrating the New Year at home before, but they haven't described it in detail yet.Fu Mingan was already crying.

He lowered his head and wept silently, looking pitiful and helpless.Chu Ci's heart softened. After all, he was still an 11-year-old child. He left his family alone and followed him, a gentleman, to study in a foreign country. To be able to endure crying until now is considered very strong.

Chu Ci hugged him to his side, spread his arms around him tightly, trying to give him a sense of security.

Fu Mingan snuggled into this not-so-large embrace, and his nose couldn't help becoming sore again. Let him be weak again today.

He will be 12 tomorrow, he is an adult, and he can't cry anymore!
