Chapter 783

Not long after seeing Chen's father waking up, Chen A hurriedly ran away from home. Good things never go out, but bad things spread far and wide. Everyone in the village knows his reputation as a gambler. What's more, now that Chen Xin has made a statement, the village will definitely compare the two of them. Chen A has been jealous of his younger brother's books since he was a child. The thing he hates the most is hearing how talented Chen Xin is from others. He has read a lot of poetry and books, and his character is precious. Naturally, he couldn't bear others to mock him with Chen Xin, so he ran out of the village overnight and disappeared.

After Mrs. Chen heard the news, she cried and made noises, and used all the tricks of hanging herself into a well, but Chen's father and Chen mother were immersed in the days when their youngest son was revered, and they went out to be sought after by others, and they didn't pay much attention to her.

The imperial court rewarded Chen Xin with 100 taels of silver this time. After going around, the 200 taels of silver returned to Chen Xin. Chen Xin was waiting to get out of bed, so he wanted to visit Liu Funeng. Although Liu Funeng, who was recuperating from his wounds, would visit him in the future, he also sent a lot of tonics.

As soon as Chen Xin stepped out of the door, he saw Li Xiruo standing outside the door, and seeing her turn her head and smiled at him, he asked her, "I'm going to visit the teacher, and the girl wants to go with me."

Li Xiruo nodded: "Naturally, I'm still waiting for your husband to call me Mr."

Chen Xin couldn't help laughing when he heard this, thinking about the scene, it must be something interesting.

Walking beside Li Xiruo, Chen Xin passed through some field ridges, and saw that the farmers in the field suddenly stopped and looked in his direction, which reminded him of his bad feelings in the village or when everyone shouted and beat them like rats crossing the street. good memory.

He covered his face with his sleeve, and was about to leave in a hurry, but Li Xiruo pulled his cover off, making him at a loss.

But those farmers shouted enthusiastically to him: "Chen Xiucai, is your injury healed? This one has been injured for a hundred days. Don't run around casually, it will hurt your body."

"Yes, take a good rest first. In the evening, I will ask my wife to bring you some fruits we just picked. It's so sweet."

"That's right, Chen Xiucai, why do you have free time? We are all thinking about whether you can run a private school or something. We can rest assured that we can teach our children to you."

This sudden kindness made Chen Xin a little stunned. Although he was admitted as a scholar before, but because of the Su family's resignation, the people in the village always treated him strangely. , or the first time.

Chen Xin replied a few words one by one, and walked to the other side with Li Xiruo, Li Xiruo looked at him with a smile and said: "Nowadays, the imperial court spends money to build roads and provides a lot of work for the peasants in the village. It is your credit for discovering Xianquan."

Chen Xin pursed his lips: "But you discovered Xianquan first."

Speaking of this matter, Chen Xin felt guilty, obviously the rewards and praises should belong to Li Xiruo, but Li Xiruo didn't seem to care, instead he let himself get all the fame and fortune.

Li Xiruo looked at Chen Xin pretending to be puzzled at this time: "Are you confused by illness, you discovered Xianquan, how could it be me, not to mention you killed dragons and snakes, everything is wrong It is thanks to your eagerness to save your father. From now on, stop talking nonsense just now."

Chen Xin knew that it was Li Xiruo who didn't want to cause trouble, so he nodded in agreement, but secretly vowed in his heart that on the day of his high school champion, he must return these favors to Li Xiruo.

Chen Xin and Li Xiruo arrived at Liu's house, and the servants led them to meet Liu Funeng. Liu Funeng looked at Li Xiruo, his expression became uncomfortable, and he immediately preemptively said: "The cleansing you said is actually Let Chen Xin gouge out the flesh, have you thought about it, it might be fatal."

Li Xiruo blinked: "Master Liu should understand the truth of misfortune and blessing."

Liu Funeng snorted coldly: "A dangerous move by soldiers is not a long-term strategy."

"If you can't solve the current predicament, then naturally there won't be a long time to go. What's more, someone said before that if I am cleared of Chen Xin's crime of unfilial piety, they should call me sir."

Liu Funeng was choked up immediately: "I'll call you Mrs. Female..."

"I'm here." Li Xiruo immediately agreed before he finished speaking.

Liu Funeng was so angry that he almost couldn't catch his breath. He was used to the high position. When he was taken advantage of by the juniors, he flicked his long sleeves and wanted to reprimand Li Xiruo. Thanks to Miss Li, I can survive the catastrophe."

Liu Fu Neng glanced at him, then changed his mind and said, "Then tell me how you learned that this dragon and snake can cure wind diseases? If the former emperor was in good health, you would be a great hero."

Chen Xin gave a salute, and replied: "Miss Li's ancestors once left a legend about dragons and snakes. It was also a chance to teach me to kill dragons and snakes to save my father."

"Since the dragon snake is such a treasure, how did you know where it is? Besides, I heard that Xianquan is also outside the cave. The terrain is remote and there are often beasts infesting it. Since the village was built here, no one has ever been there. That place deep in the mountains. How did you find it?"

For the first time, Li Xiruo felt that this old pedant had so many questions. With her ability, Xianquan was nothing, but she couldn't show herself in front of this group of people.

Chen Xin glanced at Li Xiruo out of the corner of his eye, and seeing that she seemed bored, he took the lead in replying, "I don't know if you have heard the story about Bailu Yinquan."

Liu Funeng has read many poems and books, so he naturally knows that the Bailu Yinquan is a legend of the Wuxian Kingdom in the Bayu area. According to legend, there was a hunter chasing the white deer at that time. It was too salty, so the hunter brought the water back and showed it to the local knowledgeable people to check, only to find that it was brine, which could be used to make salt.

"You also know that Ms. Li was born as a hunter. She invited me to go hunting together. We came across a white deer, and we kept chasing it. We found that cave, but there are many ferocious animals in that place. We just waited and watched for a while before going down the mountain. Later, Ms. Li found that the place coincided with the place where dragons and snakes hibernated as her ancestors said, so she took me to the mountain again. I remembered the allusion of Bailu Yinquan, so I took a sip of spring water out of curiosity, and then discovered Xianquan."

Liu Fu Neng stroked his beard with a pensive face. Seeing him, Li Xiruo might have doubts about this story and was thinking of other reasons. Unexpectedly, Liu Fu Neng clasped his hands together and worshiped to the sky: "Look! It turns out that God sent a white deer to guide those who are destined to find the treasure here, God bless me."

Li Xiruo glanced at the cloudless sky, thinking that if Liu Fu was able to worship the sky, he was also worshiping himself.

The smile that could not be concealed on her face was caught by Liu Fu Neng, who snorted coldly: "If Chen Xin was not very knowledgeable, how could some people discover Xianquan, and they are ashamed to give the credit to themselves Take it on your body."

Chen Xin's face turned red when he heard this, Li Xiruo raised his eyebrows but he didn't argue, Chen Xin hurriedly brought up the topic, and didn't want Liu Fu to continue talking.

Chen Xin talked with Liu Funeng for a while, and then he remembered the business of today. He took out the purse from his sleeve, and handed it to Liu Funeng respectfully: "This is the Shuxiu that the students should give to the teacher."

Liu Funeng had never accepted a student before, and Chen Xin didn't know how much he weighed in his heart, so he followed the rules and gave it to Shu Xiu, the most knowledgeable master, and only hoped that Liu Fu would not dislike it.

Liu Fu Neng was originally a wealthy family, and he didn't care about money, but there must be etiquette. In the past, these Shuxiu referred to gifts such as meat. Later, Shuxiu became a tuition fee, which is a must when apprenticeship Little part of the tribute.

Chen Xin's path to study was quite bumpy before, but now he managed to get the cloud to see the moon, so he hurriedly made up for it and completely completed the ceremony of apprenticeship.

Liu Funeng and Chen Xin discussed some homework, while Li Xiruo was sitting on the side bored, and wanted to slip away, but he didn't expect that the servants of Liu's family came to report, and Lin Shang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, actually came to visit.

Liu Fu Neng glanced at Li Xiruo. He knew why Lin Shang came here. To put it bluntly, it was for women. Otherwise, how could this small temple of his own be able to house Lin Shang, a big Buddha.

He asked Lin Shang to come in, and as expected, Lin Shang didn't miss Li Xiruo as soon as he came, greeted him casually, and ran to Li Xiruo's side.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xin couldn't help frowning again, thinking that Lin Shang's behavior and words are becoming more and more presumptuous now, and he has been pestering Li Xiruo regardless of etiquette.

Lin Shang looked at Li Xiruo and said, "The last time the girl proposed charity, I have already made some preparations, and I plan to donate the rest of the money to Beitian Nursing Center, but I think there is also a girl's intentions in it, so I want to ask the girl to go with me."

Doing charity can also be regarded as a merit, although now that she has become a saint, the merit is dispensable to her, but it is still a good thing in the end, and there is no reason to shirk it.

Seeing Li Xiruo nodding in agreement, Lin Shang was overjoyed, and was about to say goodbye to Liu Funeng, when Chen Xin suddenly stood up and looked at Lin Shang and said, "I have something to do and I want to go to the county seat. convenient."

Liu Funeng snorted coldly: "What are you going to do in the county again? Don't you think the schoolwork you have delayed is not enough?"

Lin Shang immediately echoed: "Mr. Liu is very right, Chen Xiucai should read more."

Chen Xin bowed to Liu Fu Neng and said: "A few days ago, the county magistrate Mr. Xu sent someone to call, but the student's injury was not recovered, so he shirked it. Now I think it's time to visit Mr. Xu."

Hearing Xu Zhiyong's summons, Liu Funeng's complexion improved a bit. It would be great to have a good relationship with the county magistrate. Chen Xin's filial piety still needs these people in the bureaucracy to spread it to the ears of the higher authorities.

Lin Shang was very dissatisfied with Chen Xin's actions, but he didn't dare to say no in front of Li Xiruo. He invited Li Xiruo to go out first, and deliberately left Chen Xin behind. Chen Xin looked at Li Xiruo not knowing Looking at the world, I was a little angry in my heart, secretly blaming her for not knowing how to be more on guard against Lin Shang, what if he had evil intentions towards her.

Just as Chen Xin wanted to chase him out, Liu Funeng stopped him from behind and said meaningfully: "A gentleman doesn't take what others like. Since you want to make friends with Lin Shang, there are some things that you shouldn't fight about."

Chen Xin pursed his lips, knowing what Liu Funeng was referring to, but he didn't reply in the end, and just followed him out.
