Chapter 128: Cousin is loyal

Chun'er burst into tears and said with a hint of shame: "Who can believe your nonsense?"

He said that, but his pitiful little look still made him feel a little more joy.

Chen Ao saw Chun'er laughing, and felt warm, and smiled gently, "Chun'er, why are you unhappy recently? Well, let me guess if you want to get married? Or..." Having said this, I dare not continue to say the following words.

He almost blurted out, "Is it Tiangui here?"

Shan, how could you have such a lewd thought? If you learn bad things or bad things, you must have learned it from your cousin.

Zhou Heng was so sad. If he knew that Chen Ao was slandering him like this, he would be afraid that the fake disease would come true.

When Chun'er heard the word "marriage", she couldn't lift her head and said shyly: "Brother Shen, you're talking nonsense, I'm leaving!"

Having said that, her legs could not move. She knew that Chen Ao was nonsense but found it very interesting. She was clearly by this man, and her gentle and a little bad eyes staring at her, as if she was inexplicably throbbing. But reason told her to escape quickly and regret it if she didn't escape again.

But even though I was about to escape, I seemed to vaguely hope that time would stop, making the gentle eyes and wicked smiles become eternal.

Chun'er couldn't help but look up at Chen Ao, who made her reluctant to leave her eyes. Her face seemed to be covered with a layer of blush. Under the moonlight, the blush was as charming as a rose. She murmured: "Brother Shen, I'm really leaving. You, take good care of yourself."

With a little complexity, a little nervousness, and a little throbbing, Chun'er finally took out her last courage. Before Shen Ao had time to react, she turned around and walked towards the dark place on the other side, and did not dare to look back, and gradually disappeared into the night.

Chen Ao looked at the direction of Chun'er leaving, and Chun'er's shy face appeared in his heart for a long time, and the warmth in his heart became stronger!

In the past few days in the Duke's Mansion, the Duke and his wife also went around to welcome the Fengjia. Even Liu Wen, when he saw Chen Ao, he just said hello from afar and went to work hard again. Chen Ao, because he had to deal with those who came to find out about his illness, was not too leisurely.

The only person who is idle is Master Zhou. However, Master Zhou felt that it was very unfair and they were all "ill". However, there were many people who visited Chen Ao, but few of them were visiting him. His usual friends disappeared all of them.

Chen Ao found him, and when he was free, he taught him to play Goji. When the two of them had nothing to do, they used Goji to pass the time.

Chen Ji came here and was still lukewarm in Chen Ao, but when he took out a stack of reading notes, he betrayed his rigid face. Chen Ji's understanding of the meaning of the Four Books is often more profound than that of ordinary people. After all, he passed the top scorer in the exam, and this note is of great value.

Everyone in the world knows that Chen Ao has become his apprentice, and the fame of the two people has been tied together. Whether it is political ambitions or future career, Chen Ao can be regarded as a continuation of Chen Ji, so he is willing to bring out what he has been in the box.

But he still ignored Chen Ao and said, "Let's see it in your spare time. Whether you can understand it depends on your own luck. If you don't want to see it, burn them all."

Chen Ao thought to himself at that time, if he really burned them, Master Chen would definitely strangle me to death.

When I opened these notes, I saw dense small words, which were piled up in a pile, and there were hundreds of thousands of words. Every sentence of the Four Books and Five Classics had annotations, explanations, and Chen Ji’s personal unique insights. If such notes were sold for hundreds of guan or thousands of guan before the imperial examination, I would probably have no problem.

Chen Ao worships it like a treasure, so he naturally takes it out and checks it out at all times, and then compares the annotations of the Doctor of the Imperial College. He always feels that Chen Ji's notes are more clever.

To put it bluntly, the doctors may still have the ambition to let students learn knowledge, so most of these Four Books and Five Classics are for teaching purposes; however, Chen Ji's notes are almost used to deal with the imperial examinations. Every annotation and every interpretation is boring and boring, but they are of great use for exams.

Exams are just a stepping stone, and Chen Ao naturally does not fully pursue the purpose of seeking knowledge. He has memorized the Four Books and Five Classics and still seeks nothing more. Exams are the bottom line.

I occasionally read books, or find Zhou Heng to catch chess, and when I take time to perfect the unfinished painting, my life will be comfortable.

Zhou Ruo had been here several times, and Chen Ao asked her about Concubine Xian. He was a gossip and always felt that there must be something unspeakable between Concubine Xian and the Duke.

Zhou Heng must be kept in the dark. However, Zhou Ruo seemed to know something, but after Chen Ao repeatedly asked, some truth came out.

It turned out that the Xianfei and the Duke were brothers and sisters of the king. The relationship was originally very good. Later, one time, the concubine of Miss Zhou, who was still Miss Zhou, went out for a walk and met a poor scholar. As the Duke and his brother, Zhou Zheng naturally refused to marry his sister and broke up the marriage with all his might. It happened that the concubine was chosen in the palace. In order to cut off the concubine's mind, he sent her into the palace.

Just for this, Concubine Xian held a grudge for ten years.

Chen Ao immediately noticed two things. The first is that this Xianfei Concubine must have a deep love affair with the poor scholar; the second is that Xianfei is too petty and has a little narrow-minded attitude.

It seems that I should be careful on New Year’s Eve and have less interaction with this virtuous concubine. If I suffer from her hatred, I will easily suffer losses.

Chen Ao's heart was shaking and he secretly warned himself.

Seeing that the five-day holiday was about to end, the wife finally got nothing and called Chen Ao and Zhou Heng. She was a little haggard these days. She thought she was a little afraid of this sister-in-law who came back from the palace to visit her relatives. She had experienced and personally dealt with the affairs of the whole mansion, for fear of any omissions.

Seeing Chen Ao, Zhou Heng went in, his wife finally got better and asked them to sit down. She said angrily: "I can't learn well, but I'm pretending to be sick and skipping school. If you two children don't care, I don't know what else to do in the future!"

The lady turned her eyes on Zhou Heng and said reproachfully: "It's not necessary to say that this must be your idea. Chen Ao is not so irregular."

Zhou Heng died unjustly. It was his cousin who called him off. Although he had made his own decision and took five days off in one go, this was not all his idea!

Zhou Heng was very angry, but finally failed to shake Chen Ao out.

Chen Ao showed some self-blame and said, "Auntie, I can't blame my cousin for this matter. I took it."

Huh? Zhou Heng looked at Chen Ao. When did my cousin be so loyal? Is the sun coming out to the west today?

But the lady only smiled slightly and thought to herself: "What does Heng'er look like? Could it be that I don't know? Chen Ao just wanted to come forward and be this bad guy for him. This child is so kind-hearted."

Chen Ao smiled secretly. He understood the wife's thoughts too well. The more he took the responsibility, the more his wife believed that it was made by Master Zhou!

Haha, it’s so bad. It’s loyal and good, and it’s a good deal. It’s both cheap.

The lady sighed in her heart, and did not continue to talk about pretending to be sick and asking for leave. She smiled and talked about Mrs. Shi. In fact, Mrs. Shi has been here several times these days, and her relationship with her is closer. Her wife usually has no one to accompany her and is quite resentful about her background. Now she is so arrogant that she has made her lively here.

"This Mrs. Shi is really concerned about Chen Ao's affairs. Every time she comes, she chooses a lady she is suitable for, but I politely declined." The lady said with a chuckling.

Chen Ao hurriedly said, "Yes, getting married so early has affected my development."

What development is, the lady doesn’t understand, but she always wants to find a marriage for Chen Ao to calm down. In fact, in her heart, she doesn’t want Chen Ao to get married so early!

Such a good nephew, with outstanding character and knowledge, cannot be easily agreed to the marriage.

Then, after a moment of conversation, they asked about the two of them about studying; Chen Ao and Zhou Heng answered one by one; just as soon as Miss Zhou came in, saw Chen Ao, she pursed her lips, and sat next to Zhou's mother.

The lady seemed to have something to worry about and sighed, "You will go to the Imperial College to study tomorrow. In a few days, it will be the twelfth lunar month. New Year's Eve is approaching, and I always feel a little uneasy."

Chen Ao thought and said, "Is the aunt worried about the matter of Concubine Xian?"

The lady nodded: "My sister-in-law is now the fourth wife in the palace. She doesn't even have any news, but this year she suddenly said she wanted to go home to visit her husband. She and her husband both have a straightforward temper, but they are afraid that when they visit her husband, they will start to have a fuss. The city of Bianjing is only so big, so don't make people laugh. And I don't know what the sister-in-law is thinking. If she wants to get back together, it's fine. But if she has other thoughts and disagrees with her husband, she will be hit."

Chen Ao understood the wife's feelings. A sister-in-law who had not seen her for ten years suddenly came. Who knew whether to come up with old accounts or reminisce about the old ones? People with status were not afraid of anything, but were afraid of making jokes.

The lady pondered, "It would be great if I asked someone to go into the palace to inquire. Ruoer, didn't Princess Qinghe come to find you to play last time? She often came to the palace, but was there any whim coming out?"

Zhou Ruo's face, which was originally cold and frosty, suddenly stretched out, gaze from Princess Qinghe's mouth? I'm afraid only her mother could think of this. Her temper was more strange than her daughter. She was full of painting and painting, so how could she count on her?

Chen Ao also laughed. Seeing the reaction between the two of them, the lady felt strange and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Chen Ao quickly said seriously: "This princess has a weird temper. I'm afraid she can't find anything. Instead of doing this, it's better to ask a father-in-law in the palace to ask."

The lady sighed again: "I think so too! But you know the man's temper, and he will never ask; we are worried about him here, but he is fine."

Zhou Ruo encouraged his wife and said, "It's better to do this. My cousin and Princess Qinghe have a close relationship! I will always hear back when I ask my cousin to inquire."
