Silly Scholar's Wife

As soon as Zhao Huan and the others went out, Xu Daru got up quickly, picked up the books on the desk and was about to throw them on the ground, he was already furious at this moment, wishing to smash everything in front of him to get out of the sullen feeling in his heart.

After all, he is still a scholar, and he has been with books for most of his life. When the books are about to be sold, he wakes up and puts them back in a hurry.

Looking at the inkstone on the desk, and then at the pen and paper on the table, he was unwilling to damage any of them, and was so angry that he turned around on the ground, his chest heaving and unable to vent his anger.

He just felt that he had never been questioned like this in his life, let alone being pointed at his nose and said that he was trying to gain fame. He absolutely couldn't bear this, so he had no choice but to kick the seat resentfully.

"Hiss." A sharp pain came from his toes, and he hopped his feet on the ground, his posture was funny and ridiculous.

"Hahaha." Hearing that the person had already left, Jiang Haohai turned out from the screen, and saw Xu Daru's face was livid, his eyes were burning like flames about to erupt, and he kicked the seat on the seat in a funny gesture, and immediately burst out into a rage. laugh.

"You, you still read jokes." Xu Daru's expression was distorted. He has not made as many ugliness in his life as he does today, and was seen by his old friends. , They must be questioned today.”

"If you want to question the crime, why would you let them go so easily after debating the truth." Jiang Haohai suppressed the smile on his face and looked at him with evil eyes, "You can't bear it too, but because of the rules and etiquette, you refused."

He walked over and sat down, picked up the copper pot on the small stove beside him, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank the tea without saying a word.

Xu Daru's face froze when he said it, he knew that his mind was seen through, but his old friend took care of his face, he didn't worry about trouble but just said it on his face.

He had some sympathy for Mu Chenxi, but it was a pity that Yiliang was so annihilated.But if he said he wanted to help him and leave Mu Chenxi to teach in the academy, he didn't want to do it. The reason was just that he was afraid of trouble.

Xu Daru also went over to sit down, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip and said: "Everyone has their own circumstances, it is not everyone's responsibility to have his misfortune related to others, and there is no need for anyone to actively help."

"There are so many injustices in the world, don't you want to go and get justice for them one by one?" Seeing that he didn't answer, Xu Daru said to himself: "Who is not wise and protects himself? If everything goes wrong, how can Brother Ning Rijiang be wrong?" To set foot in the officialdom is not just to find a pure land, we are all like-minded people, and we have dedicated our lives to teaching knowledge."

"Yeah." Jiang Haohai nodded and looked up at him, "Why does Brother Xu study and teach?"

"Reading is to develop one's lifelong ambitions, and teaching people knowledge is to enlighten people to be wise and rational, and to choose their talents to cultivate pillars for the great glory." Xu Daru said.

But when he said these words, Jiang Haohai shook his head and smiled wryly, and then just drank tea silently, noncommittal to his words.

"Could it be that what I said is wrong?" Xu Daru hadn't escaped from Zhao Huan's sharp questioning just now, and the old friend's expression immediately became a little annoyed, "Which one of my generation didn't think this way, didn't Brother Jiang think the same way back then words and deeds."

…………

When Zhao Huan and the others came out, Chen Mingrui raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, he was really frightened just now, if the head of the mountain became angry, none of them would want to run away.

Mu Chenxi was ignorant and fearless, why did Zhao Huan question her so loudly.Seeing that he was always gentle and courteous, Chen Mingrui couldn't understand why he was so impulsive and reckless today.

"I'm sorry, Brother Chen." Zhao Huan apologized to him. Today's matter was not thoughtful, and almost caused Chen Mingrui, "Today, my words and deeds are too much. After getting involved with the mountain chief, I may have opinions on Brother Chen. It is our fault."

"It's okay, it's okay." Chen Mingrui waved his hands again and again, he was not worried about this, "I'm afraid that you will anger the mountain chief and hinder Chen Xi's fame."

Not to mention being a great Confucian, with the current position of the head of the academy, if he wants to plan to deprive Mu Chenxi of his fame, it will be a piece of cake.

It is rare to achieve such an achievement after studying hard for many years. It would be a pity if Mu Chenxi lost her reputation.Not only the benefits that benefited his family and clan were gone, but the impact on himself was not so great.

Although he won't do scientific research in the future, his reputation as a man will be ruined, and no one will be able to stand it. This is Chen Mingrui's idea.

It was also he who was sweating nervously at the head of the mountain just now, tremblingly begging the head of the mountain not to get angry, but to be broad-minded and benevolent.

"Fame is earned by Chen Xi's hard work. Although it is not the most important thing, we will not lose it easily." Zhao Huan said.

Only now did he recall the great appeal of scholars in ancient times, and they came forward to crusade against them. Anyone who could not get along with scholars would have to accept the test of verbal and written criticism.

If Xu Daru was a narrow-minded person, what they did today would definitely not please him.But according to Zhao Huan's keen eye for seeing people, he sensed that he was not that kind of person. The reason why he asked the question with pleasure was a little bit to vent his boredom, and also a little bit exciting.

These things he said inconveniently and Chen Mingrui, their thoughts were very different, their thoughts and deeds were different, so there was no need to talk about it.

"Daughter-in-law, look at the chrysanthemums that are in full bloom. Let's pick a few and take them home." Mu Chenxi, with a childlike heart, looked around at the beautiful scenery of the courtyard happily, admiring it.

"Well, it's very beautiful." Zhao Huan looked at the chrysanthemums in full bloom, all of them competing for beauty, and he was also full of joy, "This is the chrysanthemum of the academy, which is reserved for everyone to appreciate, we can't pick it back."

"If you like it, we can plant some at home, and we can enjoy it for a long time." Zhao Huan taught patiently, not to take it for himself just because he likes it, and must instill correct thoughts in him, "Besides, we can also enjoy the fun of planting, Chenxi, do you want to plant chrysanthemums with me?"

"Of course, we will plant it when we go back." Mu Chenxi nodded happily. He likes to work with Zhao Huan. "We plant a whole yard, and let others appreciate it together."

"Actually, Chen Xi doesn't need to go out to study, as long as you can teach her at home." Chen Mingrui couldn't help but said from the side.

"I can only teach him to behave in the world, teach him to be reasonable, and let him know right from wrong." Zhao Huan said, but he knew nothing about academic matters. Forgetting the past cannot restore memory, and one must have a mind and the ability to survive independently."

"However." Zhao Huan changed his style of painting, looked at Mu Chenxi with gentle eyebrows, "If he can't, there is me."

"Yes, what are you afraid of if you have a daughter-in-law?" Mu Chenxi raised her head, responding to Zhao Huan's words, "A daughter-in-law also has me, we are not afraid."

"Yes, I have Chenxi!" Zhao Huan smiled, and led him forward, "Let's go home."

They can always depend on each other in the future, even if one person's thoughts are chaotic, and the other is clear, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Life in this world does not have the hardships and hardships of the past, and there are not so many setbacks and tribulations. The two of them cuddle together freely, and who can say that there will be too many regrets in this life.

At this moment, Zhao Huan suddenly became enlightened. I used to think narrowly and set up a predicament for myself.Since we all like our current life and being close to each other, why bother trying to change.

Don't talk about himself, he is nostalgic for his current satisfaction and reluctance.Judging from Mu Chenxi's current state, she is also very attached to him, and will look for him if she can't see him for a while.

Grasping the present is the main thing, so why bother to dwell on the unknown, to think about those unattainable or imagine those unfavorable situations, it is simply mediocre.

"Brother Chen, let's take our leave." Zhao Huan led the mule cart, with a completely relieved smile on his face, "If you have time to play with us in the future, please don't see outsiders."

"Yes, brother Mingrui can go often." Mu Chenxi cupped his hands to bid farewell to Chen Mingrui, then tilted his head to remember something, and said to Zhao Huan: "Daughter-in-law, if the head of the mountain treats brother Mingrui badly, let him go. Is our shop doing well?"

"Of course, it's Chenxi's thoughtfulness." It's not that Zhao Huan didn't think about it, but he just felt that he was a bit of a villain. Now it's better for Mu Chenxi to bluntly say, "If Brother Chen doesn't like to stay in the academy in the future, he can open his own school. It’s better than going to our place.”

His words are to the point, I believe Chen Mingrui can understand the meaning, it is not beautiful to talk too much.

"Thank you for your kindness first." Chen Mingrui smiled, with a warm heart, "In the future, if there is a chance, I will work in your shop or open a school by myself. Chenxi will come to help."

"It's a deal." Mu Chenxi happily got into the car and left with Zhao Huan.

Chen Mingrui stood on the official road for a long time, he was not afraid that he would not be able to stay in the academy.Not to mention that the head of the mountain may not necessarily anger him, even if he leaves here, he can have a place anywhere with his fame.

It's just that it's not what he wants, so he doesn't make do with it.Who doesn't have a passion in their hearts, who doesn't want to show off their ambitions, saying that they are not going to enter the official career after the scientific examination, but it's just difficult to do it right now.

If he had the chance, he would give it a try, otherwise he wouldn't be a master in the academy.I also want to keep improving while teaching knowledge. If I can accumulate more knowledge and improve my knowledge, I still have to enter Rongdu for the scientific examination.

"Woo." Several fast horses approached from far to near, and stopped not far from Chen Mingrui.

Chen Mingrui turned his head to look, and saw that they were coming from the direction of the county seat. Several people were sitting astride their horses, all dressed in strong attire, with a murderous look on their faces.

"Excuse me, this is Yuanyang Academy." One of the young people asked, clasping hands.

"Hehe." Chen Mingrui laughed out loud, raised his hand and pointed not far away and said: "Is it written on the plaque, Yuanyang Academy?"

How blind this eye is, I can't see those four big characters clearly at such a close distance.Seeing that he was not very old, only in his 20s, Chen Mingrui rolled his eyes around his face.

"Hey, I can't read." The young man smiled innocently, without blushing at all, and said, "My family is poor and I can't afford to read."

"Sorry." Chen Mingrui immediately put away the smile on his face. Although he didn't mean to take it lightly, he did mean to make fun of it just now, "I'm sorry, I just wonder why you don't look at the plaque, there is no other meaning."

He bowed and saluted, expressing his apologies.How could he look down on people? He also came from a poor background. It is a blessing to be able to read and write, and he will never have the thought of being superior to others.

"Let's go." The young man who was surrounded by several people took a look at Chen Mingrui, left without saying a word.
