Be a master through ancient times
Chapter 227
Chu Ci was drinking ginger soup, the dining room should use old ginger, the taste is very offensive.Chu Ci held it in both hands, and just after taking a sip, he showed a disgusted expression.
Seeing this, Kou Jing quickly handed over the stack of plums, and asked Chu Ci to eat one and press it down.Chu Ci didn't go to get it, but opened his mouth slightly at Kou Jing and said "ah".
Kou Jing was taken aback for a moment, looked at Chu Ci's hand, showing a suddenly realized expression, then carefully picked up a plum and placed it in front of Chu Ci.
Chu Ci's mouth accidentally touched his hand when he swallowed it.Kou Jing immediately withdrew her hand like an electric shock, causing the plum to fall to the ground.
"...I'm sorry." Kou Jing apologized, and it was hard for Chidi to treat him so affectionately again, but he messed it up.
"I'm sorry, it's just a plum. If you take another one, my mouth will be bitter." After Chu Ci finished speaking, he opened his mouth again, waiting for him to feed it.
Kou Jing picked up a plum again and put it into Chu Ci's mouth, this time he touched his lips again, and it was soft to the touch.Kou Jing withdrew her hand and put it behind her back, her ears turned red quietly.
Chu Ci ate plums, his eyes flicked across his face, and he couldn't help smiling. He felt that Kou Jingjing was too innocent.After finishing a bowl of ginger soup in this way, Chu Ci opened the food box, filled another bowl of ginger soup from the earthen pot, and pushed it in front of Kou Jing.
"You haven't drunk it yet, right? You soaked it longer than me, and you have to drink all the rest!" Chu Ci's words were more effective to Kou Jing than the imperial decree, not to mention that he asked him to drink all the ginger soup After that, even if there is poison in front of him, he will be willing to take it.
Kou Jing grabbed the bowl with one hand and tilted her head upside down, her posture was bold as if she was drinking alcohol. Fortunately, the ginger soup was not so hot at this time, otherwise it would definitely be scalding.After he finished drinking, he poured what was left in the crock into a bowl, and drank it all with one head raised.
After drinking, Kou Jing wanted to ask Chu Ci for credit, only then did she see Chu Ci holding a plum between her fingers and holding it straight forward, as if she wanted to feed it to him.
Deep remorse emerges from the bottom of her heart. If Kou Jing knew that he also had this benefit, she would definitely eat it slowly with a spoon like those little ladies.
Chu Ci was also a little disappointed, what a motherfucker!He slowly retracted his hand holding the plum, thinking he should eat it by himself.At this time, Kou Jing suddenly reached out and took the plum in his hand away.
Seeing Chu Ci's bewildered expression, Kou Jing knew what she was doing in a fever.
"Uh... the ginger soup is a bit bitter." He said solemnly, trying to convince Chu Ci.
Chu Ci was stunned for a while, then laughed out loud, and then, under Kou Jing's somewhat embarrassed expression, he nodded seriously: "Yes, it's too bitter."
The two were looking at each other harmoniously, when shopkeeper Meng suddenly barged in from the outside. Seeing the two of them turning their heads to stare at him, he thought he was interrupting some important conversation, so he waved his hands repeatedly.
"Patriarch, Chu Siye, I didn't want to break in, it was outside, someone came from outside!" Shopkeeper Meng wanted to cry but had no tears, so he had sent Ah Mao and Ah Cai here if he had known.
"Who's here?" Chu Ci was a little surprised.
"It's Mr. Taifu, as well as His Highness the Third Prince and the Sixth Prince!" Treasurer Meng said excitedly.
After hearing this, Chu Ci and Kou Jing didn't dare to sit any longer, straightened their clothes, and then came to the front hall.
Taifu Wen was sitting on a chair at this time, looking at the clothes in the store with great interest.His Highness Jiujiu held His Highness the Third Highness's hand and kept looking inside. When he saw Chu Ci coming out of the backyard, he immediately stretched out his hand to beckon him.
"My minister Kou Jing, Chu Ci, I have seen your Highnesses, and I have seen the Grand Tutor." People from the palace and soldiers from the patrol battalion were still standing outside, and they could not lose their courtesy.
Mrs. Wen obviously thought the same way, after receiving their gift, the third prince called out.
"Teacher Wen, shouldn't you be eating right now? I wonder what orders you have come here?" Eunuch Quan should be able to prepare a good meal.
"We've already eaten. It was His Highness the Sixth Highness who heard that you fell into the water and wanted to come and see you. As the elder brother, the Third Highness should accompany you. The old man is worried that they will come out alone, and since Chu Siye's business is very important, the old man will also Followed." Mrs. Wen said with a smile.
"Thank you Mrs. Wen for your concern. It's not a big problem to be dismissed." After Chu Ci finished speaking, he squatted down and said to Yu Qiu, "Your Highness, thank you for coming to see me."
Yu Qiu blushed slightly, and said awkwardly: "Others are called His Highness Sixth... This prince allows you to call me by my nickname."
"Okay, thank you, Your Highness Jiujiu, I'm fine now." Chu Ci was amused by him, he hadn't seen him for a while, he seemed to have grown up a bit.
"This is my third brother, he is also very worried about you." Yu Qiu took Yu Ren's hand and led him over.
"Thank you, Third Highness, too. We had a hasty farewell back then. How is your Highness doing during this time?"
Seeing him approaching, Yu Min had an almost invisible panic on his face. He turned his head and said in a low voice, "Yes."
Chu Ci laughed, still as quiet as before.
The few people chatted together for a while, in fact, Chu Ci and Mrs. Wen talked a lot. They chatted about the competition that will be held in the palace in three days. Neither Kou Jing nor Yu Ren said a word, listening to them carefully.
Not long after, someone came over and said that the play over there had started again, and invited them to watch it.After seeing the three of them off, Chu Ci and Kou Jing came to the dining room. At this time, it had been a long time since noon, and there was nothing in their stomachs except for the ginger soup just now.
During the meal, Chu Ci was no longer the same as before, and only bowed his head to enjoy Kou Jing's service.He ate whatever he thought was delicious, and began to deliver it to Kou Jing's bowl.Kou Jing was overjoyed, and felt that this meal was the happiest he had eaten in a long time.
After the meal, although Kou Jing really wanted to stay here, but he still had a task to do, so he could only leave reluctantly.
Chu Ci watched him leave, and also went to the courtyards of various performances to see how the students were doing.
In the morning, there were only two performances in each yard, because they were divided into five groups and rehearsed five plays, so after each performance, they had to move to other yards to catch up, and each script had to be performed Three times will do.
Compared with the dignitaries and dignitaries in Yunmeng Garden, the common people in the other two gardens were much more enthusiastic, not only thunderous applause, but also continuous applause.Some of them have read some books, and some do not know a single character, but this does not affect their reading of the story at all.
The people above are speaking in plain language, but the truth is so simple and easy to understand.If it is said that Confucius was only a symbol of a scholar in their hearts, then after reading these stories, they really understood the wisdom of Confucius.
To be honest, when the emperor issued an imperial decree to turn Confucius' birthday into a day of national celebration, they were all a little unhappy.I don't know how to spend this so-called "Christmas". Do they have to follow the example of those students and write poems and articles to sacrifice?
Now that they have watched the solemn ceremony of offering sacrifices to Confucius and these lively and interesting textbook plays, they truly understand their admiration.No wonder those scholars kept saying "Zi Yue, Zi Yue" all day long. It turned out that Confucius was indeed a person worthy of respect, and what he said was very reasonable.
A busy day is finally over.When Chu Ci and the others stood outside the door to see them off, they all felt relieved.For this event, they have spent so much time and effort, and now they can get a lot of praise, how can they not be happy?
After all the guests had left, it was already dark.After Chu Ci had dinner here, Zhang Hu didn't come to pick him up for a long time, and he felt a little strange in his heart.Could it be that the man's grandfather was injured too badly, which delayed the time?Zhang Hu's skill Chu Ci is at ease, not to mention that there is Chang Xiao beside him, nothing should happen, and Zhang Hu has already learned a lot.
Besides Zhang Hu, he was reading the script in Yuanzi before.When he was getting excited, someone came to him suddenly, told him a few things, and pushed a child to him.
As soon as Zhang Hu heard that it was Chu Ci's order, he got up immediately.He took the child to fetch the carriage together, and then quickly returned to the Imperial College.After Zhang Hu entered Chu Ci's room for a while, he found the ginseng in the box.
The half ginseng that Chu Ci brought was only half a ginseng at this time, and he used some when he was going to try it out.Dr. Li once said when helping him prepare ginseng, this old ginseng has strong medicinal properties, it is a good thing, and ordinary people only need to use a little bit, which is enough.
Zhang Hu put the box on his body, then let the child lead the way, and the two drove the carriage to Chang Xiao's house again.
The houses here are low and compact, and compared with other houses, this place looks very uncomfortable.
Zhang Hu was also from a poor background, he didn't dislike the bad environment here, he went in enthusiastically and picked up Chang Chun who was lying on the bed.
Chang Xiao was very grateful, and while leading the way, he kept expressing his gratitude.
Zhang Hu said: "Don't thank me, my master is kind-hearted. Next time you see my master, thank him again."
Chang Xiao quickly nodded, expressing that he understood what he meant.
The two came to a place called "Fu'an Medical Center". As soon as Chang Xiao walked in, a doctor sitting in the shop recognized him.
"Why, has the money been raised?" The doctor looked at him with a smile, with a philistine look on his face, which seemed a bit disobedient.
"Doctor Zhu, I didn't raise that much money, but now we have ginseng. Didn't you say that as long as there is ginseng, you can save my grandfather? I beg you to save him!"
Hearing that Chang Xiao didn't buy ginseng from him anymore, Dr. Zhu's smiling face froze, and he let it go immediately.Chang Xiao didn't notice his change, and after helping his grandfather down, he took out the ginseng that Zhang Hu handed him, and put it in front of Dr. Zhu.
Dr. Zhu looked at the small half of ginseng, his eyes flashed brightly, and said: "This ginseng is too little, it may not be effective. Where are the other parts of this ginseng?"
"My master ate it." Zhang Hu replied truthfully.
"Oh, that's all. For the sake of your sincerity, I will help you." After speaking, Dr. Zhu put the half ginseng up, turned around and took out a ginseng from the medicine compartment above. Big white and fat ginseng.
"Well, but I don't have that much money." Chang Xiao was a little embarrassed.
"Just do a good deed that day." Dr. Zhu said very easy-going.
Zhang Hu felt that this doctor was really kind.His master's ginseng is said to be worth a lot of money. This man's ginseng is almost as good as carrots, and he gave it away like this. After all, there are so many good people!
Seeing this, Kou Jing quickly handed over the stack of plums, and asked Chu Ci to eat one and press it down.Chu Ci didn't go to get it, but opened his mouth slightly at Kou Jing and said "ah".
Kou Jing was taken aback for a moment, looked at Chu Ci's hand, showing a suddenly realized expression, then carefully picked up a plum and placed it in front of Chu Ci.
