Chapter 130 Maverick
Chapter 130: Maverick
After all, Chen Si was worried that his father was too entangled, so he followed Chen Jing back.
As soon as he came back, the matchmaker came up with a shy face and said in a shiny way: "Oh, I said Mr. Chen is really a talented and beautiful person, even if he is from all over the country, he can't pick one."
"Go out!" Chen Si didn't even look at her, and said coldly: "Chen An!"
Chen An rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward, pushing the old pious woman out.
Chen Jing also went out, and only Chen He and Shen Mo were left in the room.
Looking at the restless father, his silent face was as calm as water. He gently lifted his collar and slowly knelt down and said, "Father, it's all the child's fault. Don't be angry."
Chen He hurried forward and wanted to help him up, but Chen's knees were like a root, and he couldn't even pull them up. He held his father's hands and whispered: "Unfilial autism, if you stand, you will feel even more uncomfortable."
Chen He's eyes were red and said, "Son, don't do this, you let your father feel ashamed. Our family is upside down. Your father lives like a human being, isn't it all because of you?"
Chen Si shook his head slightly and said, "One code is the same. The child is not a person who is arrogant because of his merits. It is really unreasonable for me to talk about this."
"You make sense, I should tell you in advance." Chen He's face turned red and said, "This matter was told by the people in the yamen. I also felt that the age difference was a bit big, and I was really ashamed to talk to you. Unexpectedly, those people actually gave me all the betrothal gifts on my back. I was so embarrassed to go back and discuss with the master. He agreed to call Chen Jing and talk to you together." As he said that, he quickly explained, "Master, it's purely for the sake of our father-in-law. Don't let him blame him."
"No one is wrong in this matter, but I am the only one who is wrong." Chen Si shook his head and said softly: "My father has been widowed for three years and should be reunited. Even if he wants to marry a widow, his husband and his parents will not agree. So the child figured it out that no one can blame you for your pursuit of happiness, including me."
After hearing what he said, Chen Heru said with relief: "Then don't you blame me anymore?"
"No more." Silent nodded and said with a forced smile.
Chen He wiped the corners of his eyes, Zhan Yan smiled and said, "I've decided to marry your wife first, and then talk about me, so that you won't be embarrassed." Then he went to help him again.
Silence still couldn't get up, but said firmly: "There are two things for me, please understand my father."
"I understand what you said," Chen He laughed. If Chen Si insisted not to allow it, he really didn't know what to do.
"One is that after the father reopens the strings, the child will be inconvenient at home." Chen Si said softly: "Please allow the child to choose another place to live and concentrate on his work."
Chen He didn't want to separate from his baby son, but Chen Mo insisted on moving out. He thought about it and said that there was a buffer, otherwise it would be a bit embarrassing, so he reluctantly nodded and said, "It's better to stay for a while, but you have to come back to see me often."
"You can't pay your respects every three days." Silently nodded, "The second thing is to ask your father not to rush to tell your child about his dear."
"Do you have a woman you like?" Chen He said with his own heart.
"No, I just don't want to do it now." Chen Si smiled faintly: "Maybe I will think about it next year, maybe the next year, so my father doesn't have to worry."
Chen He thought that his son was only sixteen years old anyway, so he didn't have to worry, so he agreed and said, "I'll quit the Iceman now."
This small storm passed.
I moved to live with Xu Wei in silence. Seeing that the college entrance examination was still one month away, I began to concentrate on studying and prepare carefully for the exam.
Under his infection, Xu Wei also began to write some "dry and squat articles" that he used to disdain. He was shocked by reading a few articles silently: "Even the art of the King of Tang, it's just like this!" He has a vision now, and he doesn't believe such articles, and he won't even win the provincial examination.
So he asked Xu Wei what was going on at that time.
Xu Wei now talked to him, so he talked about the situation and was silent. There is no doubt that Xu Wei was a genius, and everyone believed in this, including himself. When he first participated in the provincial examination, his article was short and concise and refreshing, and he also thought that he would be on the list this time and glorious.
However, he forgot that writing in the current text requires more than 500 words. Therefore, the examiner saw that he had not finished a page of paper, so he didn't read it. He wrote the word "too short" and wrote back his paper.
Three years later, Xu Wei made a comeback. Unexpectedly, it was the examiner who invigilated the exam again. When his enemies were narrow, Xu Wei's fire came up, so he simply let go of his talents and spoiled freely, and wrote the disadvantages of the examination. It was not enough to finish the paper, and it was filled with tables and chairs. When he handed over the paper, he carried the tables and chairs. The examiner was shocked and said, "A gentleman should not act."
Xu Wei said: 'Don't you think I'm short? I'll write a long one for you.'
The outcome can be imagined, and it is even worse - he was shot out on the charge of "scrambling the exam room", and he was not even qualified to give the examiner a review.
When the third exam was held, although he answered the questions in a regular manner, he could not help but complain, resentment, and his infamy, and his reputation spread among the examiners, all regarded him as a disaster, so he beat him back again.
After listening to Xu Wei's story, he smiled silently and said, "I said to Brother Wen, since you are angry, don't participate in the imperial examination; since you are participating in the imperial examination, you have to put away your anger, otherwise you will not be able to pass the next time and you will continue to torture."
Xu Wei smiled bitterly and said, "How can I not understand this principle? It's just that the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change. Once that time comes, I will be angry!"
"Don't read Shiwen anymore, just cultivate yourself first." Silently said seriously.
Xu Wei was interested and said, "Do you have any good solutions?"
He smiled silently and said, "Every day, clean the house, cook, water the flowers, and feed the dogs, you will naturally be calm."
Xu Wei smiled and scolded: "I just knew you were not a good person!"
While he was joking, the knock on the door rang out, and Xu Wei shouted: "The door is not closed. If you want to enter, you can enter. If you don't want to enter, please help close it."
A giggle sounded, and the man walked in with a strong fragrance. After a silent look, it was the matchmaker I saw last time. He couldn't help but turn green and said in surprise: "Why are you chasing me here?"
The matchmaker was shocked when she saw him, but soon she turned her face down and said to him with her big nostrils: "I'm not here to find Mr. Chen," and said as she said, "I'm here to find Mr. Xu."
Xu Wei smiled and said, "Didn't you tell me to kiss me too?"
The matchmaker covered his mouth with a flower handkerchief and smiled: "Mr. Xu is famous and a talented man who can't be picked out in all villages. How can he leave the room empty? I have a beautiful baby here, who is the dignified magistrate... niece, 28 years old, and is waiting for the name of the boudoir, the magistrate... and admires Mr. Xu's literary name and intends to marry you as your second wife. If you have this idea, I will meet you tomorrow."
He smiled silently and said, "This is the right truth. I also feel that there should be a woman to take care of you, otherwise I will die of sloppy sooner or later."
Seeing that he was helping him this time, the matchmaker changed into the most sincere smile and said to the silence, making Xu Wei dizzy and confused, so he agreed.
The next day, he kept silent and accompanied him. The two of them changed into glamor. Under the leadership of the matchmaker, they took a boat out of the city and went to Lanting Town where the prefect lived... the younger brother lived.
When I arrived at the place, it was indeed a wealthy family. There were many big houses in my house, and countless servants and wives were there. The younger brother of the prefect was Xu Wei's admirer. Seeing that he could come in person, he naturally welcomed him warmly. The two sides chatted and laughed happily until dusk.
On the way back, he smiled silently and said, "I look good."
"No, absolutely not." Xu Wei was determined to cut the railway.
"Why?" Chen Si said in surprise.
"Because he is the same surname as the traitor!" Xu Weiyi said righteously: "I, Xu Wei, will not marry a woman with the surname Yan."
"I think you're really stuck in the door!" Siren was once again overwhelmed by his weird thinking.
No matter how he persuaded him, Xu Wei refused. The two of them whispered outside the city. When they were about to enter, they saw a team of officers and soldiers, who were carrying swords and guns, and drove out of the city. The number of people was small, and there must be thousands.
The two of them were lying their heads and were discovered by the government army. They immediately took it down as Japanese spies. The silent hero did not suffer any loss in front of him. He quickly said loudly: "I am the junior nephew of the magistrate Tang, and I came to see him off." Xu Wei also shouted: "I am the junior brother of the magistrate Tang, and I also came to see him off." Chen Si glared at him and said, "You take advantage of me." "Is that true?" Xu Wei laughed.
A passing village man recognized them and said, "This is Mr. Xu, our great talent in Shanyin." "This is Mr. Chen, our greater talent in Kuaiji."
The patrol scout felt relieved and took them to the Central Military Office.
Tang Shunzhi was discussing affairs with the governor. When he heard that they were coming, he accused him of the crime and came out to meet him.
When they saw that it was indeed them, Tang Shunzhi felt relieved and said, "You can't find it everywhere, but you've met it before you set off."
"Sir, where are you going?" Xu Wei asked anxiously.
"This is not a place to speak." Tang Shunzhi whispered, then pulled them to a place where no one was left, and then whispered: "The battle situation in Taining is tight, and tens of thousands of Japanese pirates are siegeing the city. Prefect Tan and General Yu are about to be unable to withstand it. Lord Zhongcheng gathers the soldiers of each government to support the front line."
"What should I do when Shaoxing?" asked silently.
"As long as Taizhou Ningbo can be kept, there will be no danger in Shaoxing." Tang Shunzhi said softly.
"What if the Japanese/pirates come around the defense line?" asked silently.
"At most, a small group of Japanese pirates came over, and there was a security team in every village," Tang Shunzhi said solemnly: "I have left five hundred township heroes in the city and handed them over to the commander of Judge Xue Tong. Both of them are talented people, please help me at that time."
