Be a master through ancient times
Chapter 462
After persuading the students from Zhangzhou Prefecture, Chu Ci also criticized the students from other prefectures, after all, they were the ones who started the attack.Moreover, these students gathered a crowd to make trouble regardless of the occasion. Although there was a reason for the incident, those who should be punished should still be punished, so Chu Ci swiped a big pen and punished all the students present today to voluntary labor.
The location of the labor is the charity home and orphanage in Fucheng, and they need to help there for three days.These students were so ashamed that they didn't dare to have any opinion on Chu Ci's punishment, so they all nodded in agreement.
After they left, Chu Ci breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Kou Jing who had been standing not far away, and complained: "These children are too difficult to deal with, and they are so difficult that I have to rack my brains to think of a way, lest Hurting their young hearts."
"You've done a good job. I don't think they will be as impulsive as they are today." Kou Jing stepped forward and stretched out her hand. Under Chu Ci's puzzled eyes, she patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.
Chu Ci was stunned for a moment, then suddenly bent his eyes and laughed, he felt that Kou Jingjing's actions were treating himself like a child.
Kou Jing didn't know what he was smiling at, but she also showed a smiling face.
The two were looking at each other in silence, Chu Ci suddenly remembered that he still had a task, so he took Kou Jing's hand and walked back: "Come on, there's nothing to do now anyway, I'll take you to correct the paper."
He will be responsible for judging the final rankings. This is a big project. Now that there are strong men, of course he must hold on tightly.He believes that with Kou Jing's knowledge, he must be able to do this job.
……
"Master, are you asleep?" Butler Xu waited all night, and finally the room where Kou Jing lived was turned on.
"Uncle Xu, why are you still up?" Kou Jing was just about to lie down, when he heard the knock on the door, he got up and opened the door. He looked at Butler Xu suspiciously, wondering why he came to look for him at this time.
Steward Xu looked at his bedroom through the open door, and heaved a sigh of relief when he found that he was the only one there.
"I saw that you haven't rested yet, young master, so I came over to take a look. By the way, I heard from young master that you went out with young master Chu later?" He pretended to ask casually.
Kou Jing did not doubt him, and explained what happened just now.
Butler Xu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Oh, that's right, what's the matter with me? Young Master Chu is very good at teaching people. These children listen to him, and they are all very good. no……"
Seeing Steward Xu rambling a lot, not at all like his usual appearance, Kou Jing interrupted him and asked: "Uncle Xu, you came here so late, don't you want to talk to me about these things?" right?"
"Haha, just chatting casually..." Butler Xu still wanted to talk about him, but when he saw Kou Jing's eyes that seemed to see through everything, he finally suppressed his smile and said, "Master, you are getting older and older. , and it’s time to think about lifelong affairs. Just tell me what kind of girl you like, and I promise to find you a good one!”
"Let's discuss this matter later." The sudden marriage urging made Kou Jing slightly frowned, he didn't want to talk about it.
"We can't discuss it later!" Butler Xu was a little emotional, and soon he forced himself to calm down, persuading him earnestly, "When the master was your age, the lady was already three years old. You said that you were marching and fighting. Constantly, for fear of delaying my lady, now that you are serving in this navy camp, young master, there will be no more wars in at least a few years, and it is just right for you to start a family."
"Uncle Xu, I just want to raise Yu'er well, and I don't want to mention the love between my son and daughter." Kou Jing moved Zhong Liyu out. In fact, he already regarded Zhong Liyu as a descendant of the Kou family.
"Master, your life's events have nothing to do with the young master. He has grown up now, even if you get married, you don't have to be afraid of him being tortured in the backyard." Steward Xu advised.
"Uncle Xu, why do you suddenly want me to have a family so urgently?" Kou Jing felt that something was wrong with him.
Steward Xu mumbled his mouth a few times, wanting to spit it out quickly.Before, he felt that there was something wrong with the young master and young master Chu, but the two of them just exchanged letters more frequently, which could not explain anything.But today, since his young master came back from Young Master Chu, he hardly took his eyes off him, so he knew something was wrong!
Once there is doubt about one thing, everything before it will become a clue to the truth.Thinking about it now, his young master's thoughts probably started a long time ago.
Steward Xu's expression changed again and again, but in the end he just sighed and said: "There are three unfilial acts, and the worst is having no descendants."
Kou Jing smiled: "Uncle Xu, you know that there are three types of unfilial piety. The one who has no heirs is the one who said that Shun married without warning, and he did not fulfill his obligations as a child. If I want to get married one day, I will definitely visit my parents' soul." Consolation."
Steward Xu was silent for a while: "Tomorrow I will take your name card to the matchmaker."
Seeing that Steward Xu was too soft and wanted to be tough, but he still refused to reveal the truth, Kou Jing could only follow her own guess.
"Uncle Xu, the reason why you want me to have a family is because you found out that I—"
"Stop talking!" Steward Xu roared, his expression was a little embarrassed, and his eyes were red, "Master, since you don't want to marry a wife yet, forget it!" After saying that, he wanted to leave.
"Uncle Xu, I won't marry her in this life." Now that I'm ready to tell the truth, let's just say it all.
Steward Xu stopped in his tracks, turned his back to Kou Jing, trembling all over.
"I am happy with him alone. If I can join hands for the rest of my life, it is my luck. If there is no fate, it is my misfortune. But no matter luck or misfortune, there is no room for a third person here. Uncle Xu, you are my only one Besides Yu'er, the most important relatives, I hope you can understand. Besides, Brother Ci only regards me as a close friend, so please don't make things difficult for him."
Seeing the back of Butler Xu staggering away, Kou Jing couldn't bear it.He sighed and was about to close the door when he saw a person standing around the corner on the other side.
"Are you stupid?" Chu Ci asked, and he slowly approached, "Why don't you say that we are in love?"
"I'm afraid that Uncle Xu's concern will cause confusion. He may not look for you, but he may ask your family to persuade you to change your ways." Kou Jing sighed. He knew Uncle Xu. If he didn't say that, in order to let him go Right way", he will definitely use all means to obstruct it.
Chu Ci smiled bitterly: "Correct evil and return to righteousness? Yes, in their eyes, this kind of feeling is like a scourge that cannot be tolerated in the world."
Kou Jing wanted to ask him if he regretted it at the beginning, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.He was afraid of hearing the word regret, so let him be selfish...
"However, so what? Life is short, but only a few decades. If you can't live according to your own wishes, then what's the point of living in this world?"
Kou Jing's ears were greatly comforted by the slightly wild words. This was Chuci telling him in his own way that he did not regret this relationship!
"I read a sentence before, and now I want to give it to you." Chu Ci approached Kou Jing, whispered a sentence in his ear, and left lightly.
At night, Kou Jing was lying on the bed, facing the pitch-black roof, and kept chanting that sentence in her heart:
"Since I promise one person favoritism, I wish to be generous for the rest of my life."
……
Early the next morning, Lu Jingshu and Ah Qing came back in a carriage.
"Daddy, I'm back!" After getting off the carriage, Lu Jingshu went to Chuci's study. She was full of smiles and her eyes were bright. She thought the process of going to the banquet was quite pleasant.
"Just come back, is it fun there? Did you bully you? If someone bullies you, tell daddy, and I will teach her daddy a lesson." Chuci looked at the lovely and sensible girl, and most of the lingering irritability disappeared.
Lu Jingshu covered her mouth and smiled politely: "Daddy, no one bullied me. We didn't go to play, we went to form an association. Everyone wrote poems. Some sisters wrote well. It turns out that the official's Daughter, everyone wants to read."
"Of course, girls read a lot so they won't be easily fooled. By the way, the uncle I told you about is here. Do you want to meet him? He has prepared many gifts for you." Chu Ci asked Xiao girl's opinion.
Lu Jingshu was expecting and nervous, she paused for a moment, and then said: "Daddy, will Uncle Kou like me?"
"Of course I will! You are smart, cute, and so sensible, who wouldn't like you? Dad, go and call him, you wait here."
After finishing speaking, Chu Ci went out to look for Kou Jing, but when he and Kou Jing returned to the study with gifts, they found that the little girl had disappeared.
Kou Jing held the gift with a sad expression on her face: "It seems that she doesn't want to see me."
"No!" Chu Ci immediately denied, "Jingshu might have gone out on something, look, she's here right now!"
As soon as Chu Ci finished speaking, Lu Jingshu stepped into the study.
"Jingshu met Uncle Kou." Lu Jingshu was still a little nervous when facing the tall Kou Jing. This uncle had a scar on the side of his face, and his temperament was more terrifying than those in the yamen.
But the way he looked at her was as gentle as when his father looked at her. Gradually, she also relaxed.This Uncle Kou spoke a little stiffly, but he was a very nice person. He gave her a lot of gifts, and she liked everything very much.Therefore, Lu Jingshu also took out the gift she had prepared.
"When I heard that Uncle is coming, Jing Shu started to prepare. The embroidery is not good, please don't mind Uncle." Lu Jingshu held a purse embroidered with pines and cypresses in both hands, and handed it carefully to Kou Jing.
Kou Jing took the purse, thanked her earnestly, and tied the purse to her waist meticulously.
Seeing the expressions of the two as if they had completed some important ceremony, Chu Ci smiled secretly, and at the same time his heart was very ironic.These two people have never met before, but they both attach great importance to each other's first meeting. Naturally, the reason can only be because of him.It is a blessing to be treated with such great respect.
However, there are also people who are unhappy at this time. Seeing Kou Jing fawning over Lu Jingshu, Steward Xu deeply understands for the first time what Aiwujiwu is.While he hoped that Chu Ci would never find out about his young master's feelings, he couldn't help but feel sad for him.
When he was a teenager, he also secretly admired a girl, and that sour feeling is still fresh in his memory.There are eight sufferings in life, and the first suffering is called "not getting what you want".
The location of the labor is the charity home and orphanage in Fucheng, and they need to help there for three days.These students were so ashamed that they didn't dare to have any opinion on Chu Ci's punishment, so they all nodded in agreement.
After they left, Chu Ci breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Kou Jing who had been standing not far away, and complained: "These children are too difficult to deal with, and they are so difficult that I have to rack my brains to think of a way, lest Hurting their young hearts."
