Time Traveling: The Man and Wife Heads the House

On this day, the carriage finally entered Suxian County as planned. There was plenty of time, and it was just past noon.Looking at the neat and spacious streets, Zhang Chi let out a long sigh of relief, "We're finally here!"

Gu Xihe smiled and said, "Yes! There is no danger."

Zhang Chi squeezed his hand, what is near miss?If it weren't for his potential, the two of them wouldn't be able to come to Su County at all!But seeing Gu Xihe's relaxed and joyful look, he also laughed.

Zhang Chi shouted at the old head Liu who was driving the car: "Uncle Liu, let's go to the biggest restaurant in this county and have a good meal!"

Finally arrived at the destination, Old Liu was also very excited.Although the journey was uneven, he got along well with the two young people.After hearing Zhang Chi's words, he also burst out laughing.

"Go and eat, the little old man has to feed the horses!"

Zhang Chi knew that there were distinct classes here, and that Old Liu was sticking to his duty if he didn't go, and he didn't want to go beyond.He tried a few more words of persuasion, but Old Liu was determined not to accept it, so he had no choice but to give up.

"Uncle Liu, then you have to eat something delicious and go to bed early."

"Thank you, Second Young Madam, you have taken good care of me, and I really can't repay you, little old man!"

"Uncle Liu is serious."

Zhang Chi got out of the car and looked up at the best restaurant in Su County, a wooden two-story building with a simple door and low-key luxurious decoration.Just looking at the appearance, people are full of expectations for it.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Xiaoer came forward to greet him, smiling and saluting, "Is the guest officer here for dinner? It's really time, and there happened to be a box vacant. Please come inside."

Zhang Chi and Gu Xihe walked up the steps in front of the restaurant, but they heard someone laughing on top.

"Brother Gu, you're late!"

Zhang Chi raised his head, but saw two young men in robes standing at the door of the restaurant, both of whom looked like scholars.

One of them walked up to Gu Xihe quickly, and held his hand as soon as they met, with eager joy on his face, it was Lu Zixiu.

"Xihe, why did you come? I was here waiting for you yesterday."

Gu Xihe was also very excited and happy to see Lu Zixiu, let him hold his hand, and said with a smile, "Zixiu, I'm sorry, I'm late. Please forgive me."

Lu Zixiu held Gu Xihe's hand, looked him up and down, nodded and said, "You look good, I think you've prepared well for this exam."

Gu Xihe said with a smile: "I dare not say enough, I can only say that since I am here, I must do my best, no matter what the result is, as long as I have worked hard and have no regrets."

A person next to him laughed and walked over, "Long time no see, brother Gu can see more clearly!"

Gu Xihe looked up at the person with surprise in his eyes.

"Brother Zeng! Are you here too?"

Zeng Yu smiled and rubbed his chin, "Yes, I'm here too. How can you not come to join in the excitement of this rare event? Brother Gu, we haven't seen each other for so long, we need to get together. Let's go, I Take you to meet the romantic people here!"

Zeng Yu took Gu Xihe's hand and was about to enter the gate of the restaurant. Gu Xihe gently broke free from his hand, and said with a smile, "Brother Zeng, I haven't introduced you yet, my wife, Zhang Chi."

He turned around and took Zhang Chi's hand, letting him go in with him.

Zeng Yu had seen Zhang Chi a long time ago, and guessed who he was. Now, after hearing Gu Xihe's formal introduction to him, and looking at the two people standing together, his heart suddenly moved. These two people are really suitable for each other. !He secretly looked at Zhang Chi again, and glanced at Lu Zixiu inadvertently. He had to admit that although Zhang Chi in front of him was a twin, his appearance, figure, and imposing manner were not inferior to Lu Zixiu's at all.No wonder Lu Zixiu has been unable to catch up with anyone. With such a rival in love, he probably has no chance of winning.

Zeng Yu was a fine person, so he immediately bowed back and said with a smile, "Brother Gu's wife is indeed a good-looking talent, worthy of you. Come on, let's go in together."

Gu Xihe turned his head and motioned Zhang Chi to follow with his eyes. Zhang Chi smiled and took two steps forward, holding his hand.

Zhang Chi wasn't the kind of person who liked to show off his affection, nor was he a petty person, but Lu Zixiu was by his side, looking at Gu Xihe with such ambiguous and fiery eyes, he felt very uncomfortable, and couldn't help but behave like Gu Xihe. Get closer.

Seeing Zhang Chi's actions, Zeng Yu couldn't help laughing, "Brother Gu and his brother-in-law have a good relationship!"

These words made Lu Zixiu feel sour, Zhang Chi is just the twin of a small family, how can he be worthy of Gu Xihe?

He raised his eyes to look at Gu Xihe, only to see him being held by Zhang Chi, smiling slightly, with a calm expression, but his red ears showed a little shyness.

He couldn't help clenching his fists, why couldn't he be braver?Such a good person actually surrendered.I am really worthless!

Leaving aside the grief in Lu Zixiu's heart, Zeng Yu took Gu Xihe and Zhang Chi up to the second floor and opened a private room.

There were four people sitting in the private room, all of them were dressed as scholars, with one blue, two white and one gray long gowns.The three men are younger, just passed the weak crown; one is older, and seems to be on the mend.

When the three young men saw Zeng Yu enter the door, they all stood up, and their eyes fell on Gu Xihe who was behind.

When Zeng Yu and Lu Zixiu walked into the room together, the middle-aged man stood up with a half-smile on his face, "What kind of person did I think it was? It turned out that Brother Zeng and Brother Lu were going to pick up people outside the door. It turned out to be Second Young Master Gu. Rich People are arrogant! Let us wait!"

Zhang Chi heard these harsh words, and couldn't help but look at the man.

The man looked to be in his 40s. He was dressed in a gray robe, which had been washed white. He had a slightly thin body, with sunken cheeks, prominent cheekbones, slender eyes, thin lips, and obvious fine lines.He squinted at Gu Xihe with a look of disdain.

Zhang Chi was furious, Xihe didn't ask you to wait, didn't ask you to pick it up, so why are you talking sarcasticly now?

Zhang Chi took Gu Xihe's hand, leaned into his ear and whispered: "Xihe, this man's talk is really annoying, why don't we go to eat somewhere else?"

Gu Xihe smiled at Zhang Chi, and said in a low voice: "Song Lian has always looked down on rich people, Brother Chi, don't take it to heart, let's just look at Brother Zeng and Brother Lu's face!"

Zhang Chi snorted coldly and lowered his head.

Song Lian snorted again, "Speak out loud if you have something to say, how rude it is to whisper in front of so many people!"

Hearing this, Zhang Chi's suppressed anger immediately surged up, and when he looked at Gu Xihe, his face was already blushing.

Lu Zixiu frowned. This Song Lian was almost forty years old, and he was still a scholar, but he was very arrogant, and there were not many people he could fall in love with.Moreover, his speech has always been harsh, and few people associate with him.Because Zeng Yu had been his neighbor, so he had some friendship, so he invited him, but he did not expect him to be so rude.

He glanced at Zeng Yu, and before he stepped forward to make a rescue, he heard Zhang Chi sneer and say, "I'm whispering something to my husband, do you want everyone to know? I'm willing to say, are you willing to listen?"

At this moment, Lu Zixiu also interjected: "Everyone, let me introduce to you, Mr. Zhang Chi Zhang is Xihe's wife."

The other three also felt that Song Lian's words were too unpleasant, so they nodded together, clasped their fists at Zhang Chi and saluted, saying "Thanks for your hard work" and "Nice to meet you".

Song Lian didn't expect that Zhang Chi and Gu Xihe were a couple. They were embarrassed for a while, but they were unwilling to lose face in front of so many people.

He snorted coldly, "When two children are married, they should abide by women's morals, what's the proper way to show their faces?"

His words were still ugly, and Zhang Chi's voice was as cold as ice.

"What does it mean to show your face? Does Shuang'er lose face after marrying someone? Is he not a human being? You can't even go out? Did the big name say something that Shuang'er can't go out when married?"

"... "

There really wasn't such a rule in the Daming Law, Song Lian's face turned red immediately, his eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to look at the aggressive Zhang Chi.

Seeing that Zhang Chi was angry, Gu Xihe couldn't help stretching out his hand, and quietly held his hand.

Zhang Chi turned his head and glanced at him, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and there was warmth in his eyes.

Chen Chun and the Wang brothers could not get used to this Song Lian for a long time, and now they were very happy to see him deflated.

Chen Chun deliberately said: "Brother Zhang, don't blame Brother Song. Don't look at Brother Song is so old and hasn't married a wife yet! He naturally doesn't know these rules of Daming Law."

Song Lian heard Chen Chun's cynicism, his face turned red and white, and he couldn't sit still.

He flicked his sleeves and cupped his fists at Zeng Yu, "Brother Zeng, you didn't talk too much, so I'm sorry today."

After speaking, lift your legs and leave.

Zeng Yu knew that Song Lian was weird, but he didn't expect him to be so defiant.It's better not to have too much contact with him in the future, and let him offend all his friends.

He hurriedly apologized to everyone, "I'm sorry everyone, I didn't expect him to be such a person. Brother Gu, brother Zhang, brother can't help you guys."

After hearing what Zhang Chi said just now, he felt that calling him brother-in-law was wronging him.This person is not only good-looking and talented, but he also speaks with a loud voice. Gu Xihe has indeed not been wronged.

Gu Xihe hurriedly said: "Brother Zeng, you are being serious. It's okay."

Seeing that Zeng Yu was a sensible person, Zhang Chi didn't bother with him anymore.

Everyone sat down, and Zeng Yu introduced three other scholars to Zhang Chi and Gu Xihe. The man who spoke just now was Chen Chun in blue, and the two men in white were brothers. The older brother was called Wang Ji, and the younger brother was Wang Zhe.The elder brother is calm and the younger brother is lively, and they are not difficult to get along with.

There are seven people at a table, all of whom are young people, and they are all talents who have come to try. Naturally, they have a common language, and those who talk a lot don't have time to eat.

Zhang Chi was meeting them for the first time, and he didn't take the exam, so when they were talking, he was eating with his head down.While eating by himself, he gave it to Gu Xihe.When Gu Xihe lowered his head to hold the water glass, he found that the plates in front of him were full, and his face blushed immediately.

He tugged at Zhang Chi, and said in a low voice, "Brother Chi, just eat by yourself."

Zhang Chi remained calm, still going his own way.

Wang Zhe is young, watching the interaction between Zhang Chi and Gu Xihe, enviously said: "Brother Gu, you and Mrs. Sister-in-law are really in love. Let me be envious!"

Zeng Yu also said: "I didn't see Xihe in the last exam, so I felt sorry for you. You can come this time, and I'm really happy for you. I heard that you are willing to come to the exam, and it's also thanks to my brother-in-law. Brother Zhang , I want to respect you with this glass of wine!"

After speaking, Zeng Yu raised his wine glass.

Gu Xihe looked at Zhang Chi with a blushing face. He knew Zhang Chi's drinking capacity, but he didn't know if Zhang Chi would drink. After all, what Song Lian said just now made him angry.

Zhang Chi knew that Gu Xihe and these few were friends, even though what Song Lian said just now was harsh, he didn't take it to heart.It's not worth being angry about someone like that.He didn't want to drink at first, after all, he didn't have any friendship with the people present, but at this moment Zeng Yu raised the wine to respect him, he wanted to give Gu Xi some face.

He picked up the wine glass in front of Gu Xihe and stood up, and said loudly: "Guys, although we are meeting for the first time, I can see that you are good friends with Xihe, and you also protect him very much. I thank you on Xihe's behalf. Come on, I'll finish this cup, you can do whatever you want!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Chi raised his head and drank a full glass of wine.

Zeng Yu praised: "Brother Zhang is really bold. I admire you!"

He turned his head to look at Lu Zixiu, seeing Lu Zixiu looking at Zhang Chi with shock and unwillingness in his eyes, he sighed secretly.

"Zixiu, since Brother Zhang did it, let's have a good time too!"

Lu Zixiu's eyes darkened, and he raised his hand to drink the wine in his glass.

Since Zhang Chi drank, he didn't let Gu Xihe drink, no one could persuade him.

He only had one excuse, "Xihe is in poor health and cannot drink. If you want to respect him, I will drink for him."

Unconvinced, five people came to drink his wine together.

After a round of drinking, Zhang Chi's complexion remained unchanged, but the corners of his eyes were a little red.

He laughed and said, "It's too boring for us to drink like this. Why don't we talk about poetry. Whoever doesn't match up will be punished with a drink. How about that? Of course, I'll drink Xihe's wine. I think Xihe won't lose."

Everyone is a scholar, and after hearing Zhang Chi's proposal, they naturally agreed.

Chen Chun was the first to ask: "Brother Zhang, how do you answer the poem?"

Zhang Chi had an idea long ago, but after thinking about it, he said: "Let's stipulate a word, and require that this word must be included in the poem. One line of poetry is enough. Of course, the source of the right poem must be known. If it is on the spot Made it up, it doesn’t count!”

Zeng Yu rubbed his chin, "This proposal is not bad, it sounds quite interesting."

Wang Zhe had already blushed after drinking two glasses of wine, and was a little excited.

He hurriedly asked: "Which character should be specified? If there are too few poems written on it, it will be troublesome."

Wang Ji lowered his head, saw the wine in front of him, and suddenly said: "Let's use the word "wine" right!"

"Okay." After Lu Zixiu drank the wine, his face seemed to be paler than before, "Just use the word "wine". I'll come first." With a knife to cut off the water, the water flowed more, and he raised his glass to relieve his worries. ""

Zeng Yu glanced at him, shook his head secretly, but praised: "Good poem! Mine is" I advise you to finish another glass of wine, and go west to Yangguan without acquaintance. ""

Gu Xihe continued, ""May I ask where the restaurant is, and the shepherd boy pointed to Xinghua Village."

Zhang Chi: "" Singing to wine, what is life like? ""

Chen Chun: ""Kaixuan noodle garden, talk wine about mulberry."

Wang Ji: ""Listen to a song of Junge today, let's drink wine to keep your spirit alive. ""

Wang Zhe: "" Grape wine luminous cup, if you want to drink the pipa, immediately urge it. ""

"... "

After several rounds of poetry, Chen Chun lost in the end. He accepted the punishment honestly and drank a large glass of wine.

Zeng Yu laughed and said: "Brother Zhang's wine order is really novel, come on, let's do it again! This time we will use the word "flower" to be right!"

After several rounds of poetry, Zhang Chi came to a conclusion that the history here only goes to the Tang Dynasty, and after the Tang Dynasty, it is the current Daming Dynasty.
