Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 231

Chen Fuzi seemed to be frozen, unable to speak a word for a while.Mrs. Chen felt strange, she got up immediately, and asked anxiously: "What's the matter, what is written in this letter?"

Master Chen pointed at the paper, opened and closed his mouth, not knowing where to start!I saw him walking around the room with the letter, and finally went around the table, poured a cup of tea, Gululu poured it down with his head up, and finally calmed down with a long sigh, but his hand was still slightly Some trembling.

"Chengxintang paper, this is Chengxintang paper!!" Master Chen said, "When I left the capital for my husband, I was lucky enough to be given ten pieces by Qin Guogong. I dare not write any more, for fear of staining the paper. This paper is so crafty. Nearly lost, the price is worth a thousand gold."

Mrs. Chen was secretly startled when she heard this, "How could shopkeeper Xia like this..."

Master Chen shook his head.Put away the previous contempt for Xia Junyan, and carefully looked at the two lines of short sentences on the letter paper.These are the two sentences Zigong asked Confucius.

"If this letter is written by Shopkeeper Xia himself and not by someone else..." Mrs. Chen said seriously, "It seems that I should congratulate my wife for finding a high-ranking apprentice!"

Mrs. Chen took the letter paper, and the questioning on the letter made her secretly ashamed.She claims to be a heroine among women, but she is blinded by rumors.

"The master said: 'It's not as good as the good people in the village. I like it, and the bad ones hate it'" Mrs. Chen shook her head and sighed softly, "I think I have a high self-esteem, and I think I have already read the scriptures, but I am not as good as the girls in this small town. The shopkeeper sees it clearly."

"A sage only teaches 72 sages throughout his life, and his wife runs a women's school. The female students are not so expensive." Master Chen said, "Women in this world don't need to take scientific exams, so naturally their minds are not on books. This shopkeeper Xia is a strange person. Not to mention that she has such a clear heart, just these two sentences, whether she is defending herself or thinking quickly, how could she be like this if she hadn't already been familiar with the scriptures? Use it." Master Chen waved the folding fan in his hand and paced slowly in the room, as if he was thinking about something.Finally, with a snap, the folding fan was put away, and he said with a smile, "My husband wants to meet this little Miss Xia in person."

Mrs. Chen knew that her master loved talents, so she said, "She shouldn't be far away now, I'll ask Rui Zhu to call her here. Is the master going to teach you something?"

"No, no, no." Master Chen said, "I'll go to the restaurant to see in person." After that, he changed into a set of scholar's uniform, put on a scholar's square scarf, and called the scholar boy. After everything was ready, he rode on mule away.

Xia Jishi is spread out in Dongshou Lane, which is close to the most prosperous Dongshi Street in the town, and most of the shops here are popular with ordinary people.In ancient times, horses were equivalent to Rolls Royce, mules were equivalent to Lexus, and donkeys were equivalent to Volkswagen Nissan.Mr. Chen, who was riding a Lexus, thought about it and decided to park his mule farther away.After explaining a few words to the book boy, he walked into the alley alone.

It was one of the busiest times of the day in the alley, and many men who worked at the docks came here to have a big meal in their spare time at noon.Master Chen walked a few steps, and was very grateful for his decision just now. Such a narrow road is indeed not suitable for riding.Looking up at the shop signboard all the way, I finally saw the word "Xia", and immediately pushed forward excitedly. Unexpectedly, a big man around shouted in a rough voice: "Who is so unruly! Didn't see Do you want to line up!!"

Master Chen was so startled that he had to cover his ears.

Many men also shouted: "Line in line!! Didn't you see the wooden pillars here?!"
