Be a master through ancient times

"Sir, this question——" Fu Mingan stood up, holding the homework assigned to him by Chu Ci today, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by a slightly immature child's voice.

"Uncle, come here quickly, I don't know how to write this word!" Chu Xiaoyuan shouted, waving in the direction of Chu Ci with an impatient look.

Fu Mingan had no choice but to sit back.He was a little at a loss, and this had happened more than once. Every time he wanted to ask his husband a question or ask him for something, these two little brothers would always come and pull him away.

It is rare for him to meet a child who is younger than himself. This time he will meet two little brothers, one with a thick head and a tiger head, and the other with a jade and snowy head. They are all very cute children, and he is also very happy in his heart.It's a pity that the two little brothers don't seem to like him very much.

Seeing Fu Mingan's distressed look, Chang Xiao couldn't help but snickered.Fortunately, he has grown up, and in the eyes of Xiaoyuan and Yu'er, he has no competitiveness at all.But Fu Mingan was about the same age as them, which invisibly brought some pressure on them, so they have been secretly competing with Fu Mingan since yesterday.Seeing Fu Mingan like this, he must have not figured it out yet.

After Chu Ci taught Chu Xiaoyuan how to write that character, he patted him on the head lightly: "Next time you yell again, you can still go to the teacher to complete your homework, and see if you get punished."

Chu Xiaoyuan lowered his head and pursed his lips unconsciously. If it wasn't for my uncle who brought so many people back, he wouldn't have yelled loudly!

When school was over at noon yesterday, he saw his uncle at the door and wept in embarrassment. He didn't expect that there were so many people standing behind him when he cried. Uncle Tiger.The other two, one looked about the same age as Brother Qin, and the other was about the same age as him and Yu'er.

Chu Xiaoyuan was stunned at the time, this little brother was very similar to his uncle in terms of hairstyle, clothes and even behavior, it was clear, clearly... a follower!He dressed up like this on purpose so that my uncle would like him!

Chu Xiaoyuan instantly became vigilant, even though Fu Mingan smiled at him friendly, he still thought it was a demonstration smile.

Zhong Liyu at the side also had a sense of crisis, and a good-looking little brother came, dressed like Uncle Chu, brother Xiaoyuan liked to play with such people the most.Look, Brother Xiaoyuan stared at him the moment he saw him!Zhong Liyu walked to Chu Xiaoyuan's side, and tugged on his sleeve with his hands.Chu Xiaoyuan came back to his senses, seeing Zhong Liyu's cat-like round eyes also looking at Fu Mingan with hatred, so he immediately felt relieved, there are two of them, are they afraid that they won't be able to snatch uncle back?

……

Before Chu Ci thought that Xiaoyuan and Yu'er were so clingy because they hadn't seen him for a long time, but after this happened several times, he understood.

Chu Ci was a little bit dumbfounded, these two brats really did not learn well at such a young age, but they learned how to use tricks to compete for favor.However, because they are too young and their purpose is too obvious, they don't make people find them annoying, they just find them very cute.

However, I can't get used to this temper.Cute when I was young, but not cute when I was older.Chu Ci thought for a while and said to Fu Ming'an: "Ming'an, come here, sir has a task for you."

Fu Mingan walked over obediently, first bowed to Chu Ci, and then said: "Sir, just give orders."

Chu Ci rubbed his head and said with a smile: "You don't have to be so serious at such a young age, you can relax in front of your husband."

Fu Mingan's ears turned red quietly, and he nodded to Chu Ci, showing a shy smile.

"What do you think of the two little brothers you saw at Shigong's house these two days? Are you getting along well?" Chu Ci asked.

Fu Ming'an was a little embarrassed, his good upbringing made him not used to talking about others behind his back, but when Mr. asked, he couldn't help but say, so he just said: "The two little brothers are very cute, and we get along... well."

After he finished speaking, he lowered his head, always feeling that his husband saw that he was lying.

"It's enough to get along well. Then, sir, I want to invite you to pick up the two younger brothers. Go straight down from here, and when you reach the Xianxian Pavilion, go straight to the right, and you will see the Mengtong Pavilion. Look at the sky, now It's almost time to leave school, they must be very happy to see you."

Fu Mingan raised his head in surprise, looked at Chu Ci's face with a gentle smile, and was quietly relieved. It seems that the husband didn't see that he was lying, but...

"What's the matter, is there any difficulty?"

"No!" Fu Ming'an categorically denied it, he must not let his husband feel that he did something bad.

"Then go, by the way, here is a bag of rice cracker candy, remember to bring it." Chu Ci picked up a paper bag on the table and handed it to him.

After Fu Mingan took it, he walked out slowly. When he reached the door, he turned around and looked back at Chu Ci again, hoping that the husband could stop him in time and tell him not to go.

However, he didn't wait until he left the residential area of ​​the masters.

At this time, all the people in the imperial examination class had left school, and they all looked at this unknown child walking around the county school with questioning looks.Fu Mingan was bathed in the curious eyes of the students passing by, but he still pretended to be calm and refused to show timidity, but his hand holding the rice flower candy became tighter and tighter.

When he arrived at the Mengtong Hall, he just heard the bell ringing for the end of school in the Mengtong Hall.Slowly, some children came out of it. They were the children and grandchildren of the county school masters, and they didn't live in it on weekdays. The others lived in the school dormitory.

Fu Mingan waited for a while, but Chu Xiaoyuan and Zhong Liyu did not come out.He hesitated for a while, then walked towards the exit, but was stopped by the porter before he could enter.

"Young master, except for the master and students of Mengtong Hall, no one else can enter here." The porter saw that he was not dressed like an ordinary person, so he spoke in a very gentle tone.

Fu Ming'an said: "Uncle, my two younger brothers are studying in there, and they haven't come out after school. I'm a little worried. May I go in and look for them?"

"Two younger brothers?" The concierge sized him up, "But I've never seen you before. What do you think your two younger brothers are called? Whose family are they from?"

"One is called Chu Yuan and the other is called Zhong Liyu. They both live in Master Qin's house. I am Mr. Chu's disciple, and I came here to pick them up at the order of Mr. Qin."

Nowadays, there is no one in Yuanshan County who has never heard of Chu Ci's name. The concierge knows that Chu Xiaoyuan is the nephew of Zhuangyuan Lang, and also knows that his uncle, Chu Zhuangyuan, is back this time.So after hearing Fu Mingan's words, he immediately opened the door and let him in.

After Fu Mingan thanked him, he went inside.This Mengtong hall is much smaller than the county school, because there are basically children under ten years old inside, so the utensils placed around are also relatively small, even the flower pots are a circle smaller than the ones outside. Fu Mingan couldn't help being a little curious about these things.

As he walked and watched, he passed through a long corridor, and before he entered the yard, he heard the noise of children coming from inside.

Fu Mingan took a few quick steps, and as soon as he entered the yard, he saw a group of people gathered together. From the gaps in their circle, Fu Mingan recognized the clothes rolling on the ground—it was Mr. Chen who changed them for Chu Xiaoyuan himself.

"What are you doing?" Fu Ming'an no longer cared about his restraint, and rushed over to push the crowd away.

In the crowd, Chu Xiaoyuan and Zhongli Yu were torn together with two or three children, their clothes were soiled and their faces were black and white, just like a little cat.

Originally, Chu Xiaoyuan fought three of them by himself, but he relied on his stronger strength than ordinary people and learned a little kung fu from Qin Zhao, so he didn't take their provocation seriously.As a result, the three of them suddenly came to a tacit understanding, and Chu Xiaoyuan didn't bring a slingshot, so he couldn't help it for a while, so Zhong Liyu rushed to help.Someone distracted the enemy's combat power, Chu Xiaoyuan felt a little more relaxed in one-on-two, and occasionally he could free up his hands to help a group of Zhong Liyu.However, they were stunned when they saw Fu Mingan coming over just now, and they were pushed to the ground by those three people without noticing for a while.

"How can you bully the few with the more? Let them go!" Fu Mingan will be 11 years old after the Chinese New Year. He is from the north, and he was originally taller than his peers. Now he is standing in this group with an average age of seven or eight. In front of a [-]-year-old child, it is still very deterrent.

The three enemies looked at Fu Mingan vigilantly, they involuntarily released their hands, and took a small step back. Fu Mingan hurried over to pull Chu Xiaoyuan and Zhong Liyu up, and then helped them pat the ashes off their bodies.

Facing this little brother who rescued them in a critical moment, Chu Xiaoyuan and Zhong Liyu couldn't help but stare at each other. They thanked awkwardly and blushed with embarrassment.

"Why do you bully people?" Fu Mingan looked at the three opposite with a straight face. They were strong and strong, and the one in the middle was the fattest. Fu Mingan guessed that he was Zhang Fat that Chu Xiaoyuan mentioned yesterday.

"Hmph, who are you?" Fatty Zhang glared at him. Yesterday, everyone left, and he would lose if he fought with that Chu Yuan alone. Today, he seemed to be able to teach them a lesson, but another person appeared.

"I'm their elder brother." After Fu Mingan finished speaking, he glanced at the two children, for fear that they would refute on the spot.

"You liar, where is his brother! He is from the countryside. I have seen his father, but he is just a mud leg. How could he have a brother like you! And him, he has no father or mother, let alone I have an older brother!" Zhang Fat didn't believe it, he also saw Chu Yuan's father occasionally, and saw him covered in mud.A child with mud legs, an orphan, why should he be so embarrassed!Why do everyone like them!

Fu Mingan frowned. Among the people he met, no child would show his malice so straightforwardly.And hearing his muddy legs, it must be that the rules of the family are not strict, and his words are picking on people's pain points. Like a father, like a son, it is probably true.

"I am his elder brother. Whether you believe it or not, it has nothing to do with us. However, I don't want to hear anyone speak ill of my younger brothers in the future. If you do it again, I will never forgive you lightly! "Fu Ming'an is well-behaved, but he has also seen his uncle speak harshly to others. It is very dignified to say it this way, and it can deter others even more.

"You... what can you do to us?!" Zhang Fatty swallowed hard after hearing this, with timidity on his face, but his mouth was still trying to be brave.

Fu Ming'an thought, at this time, he had to show them how good he was, otherwise they would still bully others.

He looked around and found a dead branch under the tree not far away. He first handed the rice flower candy to Zhong Liyu, then walked over to pick up the dead branch, and then broke off the upper branch, leaving only A stick in the middle.After he was done, he picked up the stick and walked towards this side.

Fatty Zhang and the others took a step back, their faces were full of fear, and the other onlookers also ran away in fright.

"Look at it!" Fu Mingan recalled the few sword techniques his grandfather taught him, and danced slowly.

He is young and lacks vigor in his body, and the strong and powerful swordsmanship that Mr. Zhu dances with him is just a shape, looks beautiful, but it is a useless show.However, in the eyes of this group of children, such a coherent sword move is already extraordinary.

As soon as Chu Xiaoyuan changed his attitude from yesterday, his eyes were full of envy. Since Brother Qin disappeared, no one taught him Kung Fu anymore.Zhong Liyu was similar, his mouth was slightly open, and he seemed to like this sword technique very much.

"Wow……"

Fu Ming'an was dancing vigorously, when suddenly there were a few cries and howls from the side. It turned out that the three people who were standing together had scattered and fled in all directions, screaming while running.

"Hahaha..." The two children laughed heartily seeing them fleeing, and the sullenness in their hearts was finally relieved.

Fu Mingan put the dead branches back under the tree, walked up to the two children, and said seriously: "If they dare to bully you in the future, just tell me."

"Yeah! Brother Fu, you are so good, can you teach me Kung Fu?" Chu Xiaoyuan nodded vigorously, and then leaned over to make friends.

"Yes, brother Fu, can you teach brother Xiaoyuan kung fu?" Zhong Liyu also moved over and looked up at him eagerly.

Fu Mingan was a little at a loss. He was really flattered that these two little brothers were so close to him suddenly.He nodded, and the two kids cheered.Seeing them so happy, Fu Mingan felt some joy in his heart.

He patted the two younger brothers clean, then went to the concierge to borrow some water to wash his face and hands, opened the rice krispies he brought, distributed a piece to each of them, and took the two children back one by one.

However, when they returned home, they did not see Chu Ci. After asking, they found out that it was the county magistrate who invited Chu Ci and the masters of the county school to a banquet today.They must have been in the restaurant by now.

……

After arriving in Yuanshan County that day, Chu Ci went back home first.The house was specially given by the Zhang family in memory of his mentoring Zhang Wenhai's success. Chu Ci learned from the previous letter that the Chu family all lived in it.

However, when he arrived, he found that the door was closed and there was no one inside, which made him a little worried for a while.After asking the neighbors in the neighborhood, I found out that the Chu family went back after the autumn harvest in early September, saying that they still had fields to watch at home, and they didn't come over after that.

Chu Ci finally felt relieved, and then took people to the county school, where his husband and little nephews lived.In a few days it will be Synodic Day, when that time comes, I will take my nephews back together.

However, in addition to missing Mr., there is actually a relationship with the county government.

When he was in Yangxin Mansion, Mr. Xu talked to him a lot.He originally planned to come back silently, and after seeing his husband and his family, he would stay for a few days before taking office.Mr. Xu said that this Yuanshan County is his foundation.At the beginning, he won the number one prize, but he failed to return to his hometown, which also made Yuanshan County lose the opportunity to make friends with him.If this society turns people away after returning to their hometown, it will inevitably make people think too much, and feel like they are superior.

Although Chu Ci no longer lives in Yuanshan County, his relatives and friends are all here.As the saying goes, the county magistrates are not as good as the current ones, and a good friendship with them can save a lot of things.

Thinking of this, Chu Ci didn't rush back to Changxi Village.Sure enough, they didn't bother them on the first day they came back, but the post came to their door on the second day.

Chu Ci didn't refuse either, and happily went to the appointment.He was going to go with the masters of the county school, but Master Qin stopped him and told them to go first, and Chu Ci would go later. He is now an official, so going too early will inevitably lose face.

Chu Ci laughed, his husband started to pay attention to this like Mr. Xu.Mr. Qin saw what he was thinking, glared at him, and said: "Your good gentleman repeatedly asked to pay attention to the rules of the officialdom in his letter, how dare I disobey?" At least he was an official before!

Chu Ci didn't know what Mr. Xu wrote in Mr. Qin's letter, but he felt that it was probably not a very good thing.Fortunately, the two were not together, otherwise he would have been in a dilemma.
