With "Kunwu Green Bamboo Picture" in his arms, Chen Yue said goodbye to everyone in Prince Zhongyong's palace.
In fact, this time the essay competition, in addition to "Kunwu Green Bamboo Picture", there was also twenty taels of silver for retouching, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, etc. However, after Chen Yue took "Kunwu Green Bamboo Picture", he saw that the other party did not speak. I gave it, so I didn’t ask for it.
The streets of Zhengyang Mansion were filled with lights. There were many pedestrians here at night, and Chen Yue rarely slowed down to enjoy the night view of Zhengyang Mansion.
I wonder if the scenery I see will be different after my cultivation breakthrough...
"well……"
Chen Bo suddenly sighed.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Chen Yue suddenly came to his senses and asked Chen Bodao.
"It's all dad's fault."
Chen Bo said: "It's because dad didn't work hard enough."
Don't try too hard...
The whole family has been sacrificed by your efforts. If the predecessor was not an illegitimate child, if the predecessor was not a bit stupid, I am afraid that he would be caught and slaughtered.
"I see that you have been in a state of despair after seeing the official girl today, so I understand."
Chen Bo sighed and said: "Back then you met the dancer Xiaoxun, but Xiaoxun and you are not from the same world. You are a scholar and she is a dancer. There is a real gap between you, which also made your first relationship end in vain. , this time, you met the lady from the official family again, you are an ordinary person, and she is a phoenix, you and her are just like Xiaoxun and you, it is difficult to get started."
"If your father had worked harder back then, your status would be different now, and you and her would have a chance to start."
Chen Bo's emotion came from the bottom of his heart, but it made Chen Yue very happy.
"Which of your eyes saw me losing my mind for her?"
Chen Yue asked.
"You don't need to tell me, I understand everything."
Chen Bo looked serious and refused to listen to any excuses. He said, "I know very well what a young man thinks. This is because your father owes you, and he will do his best to compensate you!"
"..."
Chen Yue was too lazy to argue. He was focused on cultivation. Falling in love at this time would actually affect the cause of cultivation.
"Since you want to make it up to me, you have to wash my clothes for me from now on."
Chen Yue simply put forward the conditions.
Chen Bo suddenly became quiet.
Chen Yue gave himself some time to relax tonight, so he emptied his head and didn't think about anything. He just walked among the crowds and watched the world at night, until the lights on the streets began to dim, and the pedestrians on Zhengyang Mansion Street After a while, Chen Yue just strolled home.
During this night's stroll, Chen Yue felt like he was truly entering the world.
Walking into Ping'an Lane, Chen Yue saw a squatting figure at the door of his house from a distance. When he got closer, he saw it was Ji Boying.
"Why are you here?"
Chen Yue looked at Ji Boying and was very surprised. He quickly opened the door, looked at the charcoal fire at home, and poured a cup of simmering hot tea.
The night in Zhengyang Mansion was indeed getting colder. After Ji Boying drank the hot tea, he rubbed his hands and went directly to Chen Yue's collar and sniffed twice.
"Crawl away!"
Chen Yue pushed Ji Boying away with one hand and said, "I don't like men."
"I just wanted to see if you were fooling around at the Qianyuan River tonight."
Ji Boying laughed and said: "But there is no smell in your collar... tell me, where have you been?"
"Going for a walk."
Chen Yue felt confused. He looked at Ji Boying and asked, "Why are you here tonight?"
Logically speaking, Ji Boying had just settled down with Yuxiang. At this time, he was either doing ideological work at home, or going to Yuxiang and running over to find Chen Yue... Could it be that he wanted to borrow money?
It seems that it is not easy for Yuxiang to redeem herself. If she really borrows money...
Chen Yue wondered how much money he could get for Ji Boying.
"oh……"
Ji Boying said "oh" and said: "I was drinking at the teahouse and happened to meet Shen Yong and the others. I heard that you were writing articles together at Prince Zhongyong's Mansion. As long as you write, I can give you retouching fees. If you write well, Are there any other rewards?"
Sure enough, it was borrowing money...
Chen Yue felt that he should ask Zhao Xiu for money, but even if he asked for money, he couldn't seem to get much.
"That's what happened."
Chen Yue said.
"I heard over there that Shen Yong wrote "The Punctual Scholar Liu" and received twenty taels of editing fees. I also heard... you seemed to come out empty-handed?"
Ji Boying looked at Chen Yue, very concerned about Chen Yue's condition, and asked: "I heard that you were the first to submit the manuscript. Did it go poorly during the review?"
Well……
Why go out for a walk by yourself? A father cares about his emotional state, and a brother cares about his mental state...
But it’s really nice that someone cares.
Chen Yue smiled and said, "Do you think I was defeated by Shen Yong?"
"It seems you still win."
Ji Boying breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let me just say that Shen Yong's ability is not enough to compare with you."
Chen Yue also laughed.
"After having a drink with you at Yixiang Tower today, I will go home."
Ji Boying sat on a chair and talked casually with Chen Yue, but he was obviously worried and said: "On the way, I saw a few children bullying an old monk, so I drove those children away and even I bought some food and drink for the old monk... Hehe, the old monk told me my fortune and said that I was destined to become an immortal and a Buddha."
"ah?"
Chen Yue looked at Ji Boying, brother, you shouldn't go directly to become an immortal!
Chen Yue is a little bit sour. My brother is afraid of your suffering, but I can’t bear to see you just take off and drive the Land Rover!
"Fake monk!"
Ji Boying saw Chen Yue's surprise and said: "Leiyin Zhengzong monk never drinks wine and eats meat. The old monk asked me to buy him wine and meat."
Chen Yue nodded.
"The main thing I want to say is about what happens after returning home."
Ji Boying rubbed his face and said seriously: "After I came home, I told me that I wanted to marry Yuxiang. Of course, everyone in my family disagreed, and then I broke up with them."
"I won't have to go to Ji's School Hall from now on. According to my uncle's words, the Ji family's surname will also be taken back to me. Fortunately, my cousin interceded and allowed my surname to be preserved. From now on, my property will be It’s my own modern and ancient calligraphy practice.”
Ji Boying said calmly: "Fortunately, my father bought a small courtyard in the early years so that Yuxiang and I could have a place to stay."
Chen Yue nodded repeatedly. Originally, he was still thinking that he couldn't pull Ji Boying away, but he didn't expect that Ji Boying would jump out of the Ji family quagmire because of Yuxiang's incident.
But losing the protection of the Ji family, is this a good thing or a bad thing?
Chen Yue felt that Ma Quan could take more care of him in the future.
"Let me tell you, in addition to asking you to bless me, there is also your "Lian Er Chun". From now on, the three, four and five volumes will not be printed in Ji's Book Hall, but will be printed in Jingu Bookstore..."
Ji Boying said embarrassedly.
"It's a deal!"
Chen Yue patted Ji Boying's shoulder and said, "Double happiness!"
