happy rebirth

The reason why Mr. Chen called Ke Qi to his home was not because he wanted to give Ke Qi some advice on homework, but because he wanted to take this opportunity to get close to Ke Qi. Give Ke Qi a little guidance.He has been the head of the mountain all his life, and he is also Ke Qi's elder from the Qingyang Houfu, and he is old enough to be Ke Qi's great-grandfather. He has this kind of mentality and he is not a Canadian.

Before this, Mr. Chen had never met Ke Qi.But the old man has a wide range of contacts, and a few things about Xie Jinhua or Ke Qi can always reach his ears.He has always admired these two young people.Until Mr. Chen learned that Ke Qi was the one who initiated the emperor's summoning of the world's famous doctors, he felt a little worried.He worried that young Ke Qi was too eager for quick success.If you are too aggressive, you will hurt others and yourself one day.

That's why Chen Lao planned to have a good talk with Ke Qi.

The reason why Mr. Chen has such an elder heart is because he has always doubted Xie Jinhua's life experience.The old man thought that he was too old and didn't want to get to the bottom of this matter, so he just pretended that he didn't know anything, but hoped that Xie Jinhua and Ke Qi could protect themselves.

Besides, about Xie Jinhua's life experience, Mr. Chen had some vague guesses, but the guesses were always guesses. In fact, he didn't have any evidence, and he didn't intend to express his doubts.The old man can only be sure of one thing, he firmly believes that Xie Jinhua was definitely not born to his son-in-law.

Xie Hou Ye was the second son in his family when he was young, and it was not his turn to take the position of the eldest son, nor his turn to take care of the ancestral foundation, so he was able to leave home to study at Yifeng Academy when he was young.Chen Lao watched his conduct and took him in as a disciple.Xie Houye was able to grow up with the Chen family's daughter childhood sweetheart.

In the decades before and after the end of the dynasty, there was a lot of strife in the officialdom.At that time, the penultimate emperor of the Yan clan was in power, and the Qingyang Hou Mansion didn't know what trouble it caused. Xie Houye's father and elder brother died very strangely, so Xie Houye inherited it like a duck on the shelf. The entire Hou Mansion.

It is said that a son-in-law is like a son-in-law, because Marquis Xie grew up in front of Mr. Chen, so his son-in-law is no different from a son.

Mr. Chen never regretted betrotting his daughter to Lord Xie Hou.Although Hou Ye's son-in-law remarried later, and there was a concubine in the house, Mr. Chen saw that Hou Ye's son-in-law remarried several years later, and arranged for the two children left by his daughter very carefully. There is no dissatisfaction.

Xie Hou Ye has a wife and a concubine.The concubine was originally used by Zhang to give birth to a child after giving birth to three daughters in a row and felt that there was no hope of having a child.

Times are different, and many people's ideas are also different.

For men in later generations, if they have wives, they still have to do three things and four things, that is a big scumbag.But for a man at this time, on the basis that his wife has made it clear that she must have a son, if you don't sleep with the woman she is preparing, it will be disrespectful to his wife.

Zhang is the most traditional kind of woman in this era.In her opinion, a son is much more important than a husband. She can not abuse the son left by her original spouse, but she feels that the son of her original spouse cannot be close to herself, so she just wants a son to be recorded in her name.But Marquis Xie has always respected his stepmother.Of course, after the concubine gave birth to Xie Er, Zhang became pregnant again and finally gave birth to Xie San, so it goes without saying.

In short, as a traditional man born and raised in this era, Mr. Xie Houye did not insist on defending his wife after his death for many years, but he is definitely not the kind of man who pretends to be affectionate while treating her A person who has a ruthless stepmother and accepts beautiful concubines at the same time.

His daughter has been dead for many years, Mr. Chen actually doesn't care if there are many concubines or less concubines in Master Xie's room, but based on Mr. Chen's understanding of Master Hou's son-in-law, Mr. Xie will never pretend to be unforgettable. Under the banner of accepting a concubine who looks similar to the original spouse, this is humiliating the original spouse!

Although, if this kind of behavior of finding a substitute is spread, judging by the mainstream values ​​at the time, most people will still praise Xie Houye for his affectionate words.But when he was young, Lord Xie had stayed with Mr. Chen for ten years, and it was impossible for Mr. Chen to misread the mind of Mr. Hou and his son-in-law.

From this, Mr. Chen guessed that there was something hidden about Xie Jinhua's life experience.

However, it's rare to be confused when one is old. As long as the juniors are safe, Old Chen doesn't intend to talk about it.

Let’s go back to the matter of Mr. Chen’s meeting with Ke Qi. Mr. Chen originally thought that Ke Qi must have some arrogance. After all, this child is indeed smarter than others, and most young people at this age want to show themselves eagerly to prove themselves. ability.Mr. Chen wanted to sharpen Ke Qi's temper.However, after being lightly spoiled by Ke Qi with a tolerant attitude, Mr. Chen knew that his worries were all unfounded.

Seeing that the old man really felt sorry for the fallen beard, Ke Qi thought for a while and said, "Sir, your name is not good!" Seeing what he said, it seems that naming a beard is a common thing for him. What happened, even accompanied the old man to discuss whether to choose a name.

"What's wrong with this name?" Mr. Chen felt that Ke Qi's words were doubting his professionalism. What's wrong with Qiu Nian's name? Does the name need to use some allusion?"

Ke Qi said very sincerely: "The name you chose is really elegant, but... so that my husband knows that there has always been a folk saying that humble names are easy to support. If you want to keep them for a long time, such an elegant Names are not enough, why not give them some... nicknames."

Mr. Chen: "..."

A humble name is indeed auspicious, but a great Confucian hugging his beard and shouting "dog leftover" and "cat egg", can this be heard?So, this topic was put aside for the time being, and the old man said something else without changing his face.Ke Qi smiled, and followed the new topic with insight.

Ke Qi chatted with Mr. Chen all over the world for a long time.

When he got home, Xie Jinhua couldn't wait to ask: "What did the old man teach you? Did he give you some proverbs? He must appreciate you very much, right? He..." Xie Jinhua was always happy for Ke Qi, but He also knows that the old man is unlikely to accept Ke Qi as his apprentice, because Lord Xie is his apprentice, if he accepts Ke Qi again, it will be a wrong generation, and Ke Qi and Lord Xie cannot be called brothers Bar?

"You asked so many questions, which question do you want me to answer first?" Ke Qi asked with a smile.

"Then speak slowly. I'll pour you tea." Xie Jinhua said, turning around to pick up the teapot.

Ke Qi took Xie Jinhua's hand decisively, and said, "Don't...how about this, I will talk to you slowly when I go to bed at night."

Xie Jinhua doesn't understand, is there anything that can't be said now, and must be kept until night when he goes to bed?But since Ke Qi has expressed his position like this, he has no choice but to suppress his curiosity.Fortunately, it is already evening, so Xie Jinhua planned to go to bed earlier today.

It was dark and the bed curtains were drawn down.

The husband and wife were lying on the bed, and Xie Jinhua waited expectantly for Ke Qi to share the insights he had heard from the Great Confucianism, but Ke Qi pinched Xie Jinhua's stomach and said, "I didn't say anything serious today... Instead, we talked about the knowledge of naming. Come, let me give you a name."

"What, what?" Xie Jinhua didn't quite understand this sentence.

Ke Qi hugged Xie Jinhua tightly, touched Xie Jinhua's neck first, and said viciously: "The neck is as long as a goose's neck, I think it can be called Baihong. No, no, it has to be called... Shaoer Right. There are red plums hidden in the snow on the chest. I remember that there is a set of porcelain plates in our house that is the same color, so let’s call it a plate. The belly is firm... This belly feels so good. I will touch it again and get a good one Name, I think it's better to call it..."

Xie Jinhua's whole body became hot from Ke Qi's touch, and said, "What are you doing!"

"Practice what you have learned! The old man taught me how to name it, and I can apply it to you." Ke Qi said pretending to be innocent.

"You nonsense! How could sir teach you such unscrupulous things!"

"Why are you not serious? I haven't touched the spout of the teapot yet..."

The metaphor of the teapot spout is very vivid, Xie Jinhua immediately understood what Ke Qi was talking about, he just felt the blood all over his body rushing to his face.Ke Qi was still unwilling to let him go, and said, "Do you know what the teapot spout is called? But that thing is bigger than the teapot spout..."

"Shut up, shut up, shut up!" In the darkness, Xie Jinhua took the initiative to move over and blocked Ke Qi's mouth with his own.

Ke Qi enjoyed the hugs from brother Xie.Well, naming this game can be played forever!

Chinese New Year is coming soon, Ke Qi will often go to Chen's house, and spend the rest of the time at home studying.Because of Xie Chunying's absence, Lord Xie used his dislike for excitement as an excuse to reduce the number of banquets held in the mansion as much as possible.Now that the crown prince's position is unstable, the Xie family should really keep a low profile.

When people are busy, they always feel that time flies very fast.

Soon it was time for the exam again, and it was still cold. Although Ke Qi was not as afraid of the cold as Xie Jinhua, he was also afraid that he might get sick in the exam room, so he brought several packets of dried ginger powder, ready to cook Ginger soup poured down for himself.Ke Qi is not picky about food, but that doesn't mean he likes to drink ginger soup.When he left the examination room, he felt that he had become a piece of walking ginger.Candidates at this time are really working too hard!

After several exams, Ke Qi had a good sleep.When he had a rest, Mr. Chen told him to silence the paper.

Both previous and recent juren are eligible to participate in the general examination, and in each provincial examination, hundreds of juren will be produced in each province.Therefore, the number of references for the examination has remained high, while the number of admitted students is always around 300.The admission rate is very low.Ke Qi performed fairly well, so he silently sent the paper to Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen felt that he had a high chance of passing the exam, but he didn't know what ranking he would get.

Even though he had great confidence in Ke Qi, Mr. Chen was still taken aback when the results came out.

Ke Qi is on the list, ranking seventh!

Mr. Chen said to himself: "It can be seen how important it is to have a good handwriting!" When correcting the test papers, the subjective influence of the chief examiner is too much. The top 10, but the name, or No.[-], depends on what the examiner thinks in his heart, but he didn't expect Ke Qi to take the seventh place firmly!His handwriting definitely gave him extra points.

You know, since Chongxi entered Xie's mansion, Ke Qi had to practice calligraphy every day, and he never missed a single day.

It's not that Ke Qi's seventh place is all because of his calligraphy.But in the case of no first text, good writing can really add points.In the time and space before Ke Qi traveled, there was a candidate who was selected as the number one scholar by Kangxi because of his good handwriting.

Ke Qi's article was originally well done, but his poetry was a little short, but he made up for it with his words.

"The old man was thinking about it before. How can a young man who can calm down and practice calligraphy be the kind of person who rushes forward?" Old Chen's evaluation of Ke Qi became higher and higher, and he touched it carefully. Touch your whiskers, grab one of them and say, "Is that so, stinky?"
