Lin Jin glared at Wei Daxun, "How about you come and compete with Military Advisor Chen?"
Wei Daxun shrank his neck. He didn't know what to do after being scolded by Lin Jin. He could only stare at the two people in the room in a daze. Originally, he was not a scholar. He was just a butcher who killed pigs and sold meat at home. I don't know what kind of dog was missing. As luck would have it, his sister-in-law originally worked as a maid in He Fan's family in Dahang Taichung, but He Fan fell in love with him and took her as a concubine. When Wei Daxun's father heard the news, he was so happy that he burst into tears and immediately found He Fan. The palace wanted to seek an official position for his son, but at this time, the Emperor of Chu had issued a death order. As long as officials of high rank in the court were admitted, they were required to take the exam. This blocked his way to become an official. However, Fortunately, Emperor Xiong Ze of Chu later felt deeply that the frontline troops were insufficient, so he issued another imperial edict. All scholars who failed to pass the examination and became a scholar or above could join the army of the Chu State, and their military merits could offset their scientific examination results. This gave Chu Some of the country's officials and officials can take advantage of this opportunity. These people have connections to protect them after they enter the army. Some of them have never even seen the enemy. They just wait for a year or two to hang out comfortably in the army and spend money. After buying a military merit, he went back to the officialdom to get promoted and make a fortune.
Wei Daxun was stunned for a long time. When he saw Chen Xiaomu and Lin Jin looking at him, he turned around and looked at the group of scholar soldiers standing behind him. No one was willing to speak for him, so he had to lower his head and walk back to the spectators in dismay. in the crowd.
Lin Jin raised his hand to Chen Xiaomu and said, "Commander Chen, let's ask a question first for this poetry competition, right?"
Chen Xiaomu smiled and said, "Since it was Lin Dutong who drew the question first, you're welcome. You can invite me."
Lin Jin took a few steps beside Chen Xiaomu and said: "Commander Chen, we all eat food and serve as soldiers. Soldiers are ready to go out to fight for the country at any time. Today I will use the theme of going out to fight. Please Military Master Chen writes a poem!"
As soon as Lin Jingang finished speaking, Chen Xiaomu remembered a very famous ancient Tang poem handed down from the world he once lived in. He was very glad that there was no Tang Dynasty in this world, otherwise he would have nowhere to show his face as a copycat, but he still pretended He walked around the center of the place twice, and then slowly said: "The luminous cup of grape wine, if you want to drink, please play the pipa immediately. Jun Moxiao is lying drunk on the battlefield. How many people have fought in ancient times." Chen Xiaomu didn't know what the era he was living in now was. Wine or not, there is no Tang Dynasty in this world anyway, so no one can provide evidence that his poem was plagiarized.
After Chen Xiaomu finished reading this famous Tang poem, the place fell silent for an instant, without even a cough. Everyone's eyes were bright. After a long while, Wu Shilang raised his sleeves to wipe his eyes and sighed: "This poem should only be written by someone in the sky." , How many times do you have to smell it in this world!"
Lin Jin smiled bitterly, "I used to be obsessed with Gao Jianli's poems and Duan Rujun's lyrics. Every time they wrote a new poem, I had to find a way to get new lyrics to relieve the boring feeling in my heart. Today, let’s compare this poem by Military Master Chen with their poems. In front of this poem, their poems are like children learning words and can’t bear to look at them! Well, before they die, they can hear this beautiful poem that can be passed down through the ages. , I will die with no regrets!" Lin Jin said as he took out the knife and put it on his neck to wipe it.
Chen Xiaomu rushed to Lin Jin in a few steps, snatched the waist knife from Lin Jin's hand, and said, "Lin Dutong, we haven't finished the competition yet! What are you in a hurry for?"
Lin Jin shook his head and said sadly: "There is no need to compare. I will never be able to write this poem by Military Master Chen in ten lifetimes. I don't know the heights of the world and challenge Military Master Chen in vain. I deserve to die!"
Chen Xiaomu reached out and took Lin Jin's hand, patted the back of his hand and said with a smile: "I have changed my mind now, I don't want you to die!"
Lin Jin raised his head and looked at Chen Xiaomu in surprise, "But we have all signed life and death documents, how can we not be honest at all?"
Chen Xiaomu chuckled softly, "The life and death document we signed is not an imperial edict, why do we have to carry it out?"
Lin Jin was stunned for a moment. Thinking about it, what Chen Xiaomu said seemed reasonable. He knelt down at Chen Xiaomu's feet with a plop, touched his forehead to the ground, and said loudly, "Thank you, Commander Chen, for not killing me. I have one more request." I hope Military Master Chen will give you permission!"
"If you have anything to say, please stand up." Chen Xiaomu was really not used to the ancient custom of kneeling down at every turn. He stretched out his hand to pull Lin Jin to stand up, but Lin Jin was clinging to the ground unable to get up. Chen Xiaomu had to agree first. He rises again.
Chen Xiaomu had no choice but to ask him why he had to kneel on the ground to tell him. Lin Jin kowtowed to him first, and then said, "I want to take Chen Xiaomu as my teacher."
Lin Jin's request shocked Chen Xiaomu. A few days ago, he had accepted Yan Xiu, an old doctor in Su Xingran's Princess Guard, as his apprentice, but he had not taught him anything substantial for so long. Every time he thought about it, He felt extremely guilty about this matter, and now that someone else wanted to become his disciple, how dare he accept it so easily.
But Lin Jin was even more stubborn than Yan Xiu. He knelt in front of Chen Xiaomu with the attitude of "if you don't agree, I won't get up." According to Lin Jin himself, he wanted to worship Wu Qingqiu, a great scholar of Chu State. As a teacher, he knelt in front of someone's house for several hours and asked someone to bring the poems he had written to show Wu Qingqiu. As a result, Wu Qingqiu burned the poems he wrote in front of the person asking him to do so. , and also said it smelled like butt, causing his client to retreat with a blushing face!
Now that he has met an expert who is beyond the reach of even the number one Gao Jianli in this world, how could Lin Jin give up this opportunity to become a disciple so easily!
Chen Xiaomu hesitated again and again, weighing the pros and cons in his mind. Considering that Lin Jin still needed to control the Chu Army Scholar Camp, he finally nodded and agreed.
Lin Jin was overjoyed when he saw Chen Xiaomu nodding in agreement to his request to become a disciple. He immediately ran to Wu Shilang and asked him to write a letter for his apprenticeship. The master was so shameless that he even wanted to become Chen Xiaomu's disciple.
After appeasing the scholar soldiers in the scholar camp, Chen Xiaomu declined Lin Jin's repeated attempts to stay, and took Du Fengxian and Ximen Ruoen with him to return to the garrison general's mansion. Lin Jin saw that he really couldn't keep his teacher Chen Xiaomu to attend the apprenticeship banquet he had arranged, so he had to serve it on a tray. I asked Chen Xiaomu to accept the apprenticeship fee of one thousand taels of silver. This time, Chen Xiaomu did not make too many excuses. He happily accepted Lin Jin's apprenticeship fee and left a few pairs for Lin Jin to organize the scholar army. They responded to each other and asked him to reward fifty taels of silver for the pattern. This group of people had nothing to do and wanted to go to camp.
On the way back, Du Fengxian and Xiao Cheng said, half jokingly and half seriously, "Mr. Chen, you can even accept people from Chu as your students, why not accept us as students too."
Chen Xiaomu said with a smile, "When the day when your country of Hubei is restored, if you two still want to become my teacher, I will accept you as my students!"
Du Fengxian and Xiao Cheng were happy when they heard this and insisted on high-fiving Chen Xiaomu. Ximen Ruoen was also happy to be their witness.
Returning to the garrison general's house, Zhang Yun had his body and head moved out to find a place to bury Zhong Tuo's head and body. He personally took his soldiers to the place where Zhong Tuo lived in order to report the murder. The reason for the assassination was discovered and buried!
When Zhang Yun saw several people coming back, he hurriedly asked the soldiers around him to notify the kitchen to deliver a table of food. They had stayed up almost all night last night and were really exhausted. They went to sleep somewhere, and everyone else returned to their original place of residence. However, because Chen Xiaomu and Ximen Ruoen were new arrivals, they could only make do with the place where Wang Yun lived. Originally, Du Fengxian also considered that unmarried men and women should live there. They were not suitable together, especially since Ximen Ruoen was still a princess and wanted Chen Xiaomu to live with him, but Ximen Ruoen refused to agree, saying that he was new here alone and not very familiar with others. In addition, Wang Yun was The person who was killed here was very scared at night and asked Chen Xiaomu to stay with her.
As a modern person who has traveled through the past, Chen Xiaomu doesn't care at all about the ancient rules about men and women. If you want to accompany them, you can accompany them. He is not an escort. As long as you are upright, you will not be afraid of the shadow.
There was no way, Du Fengxian had no choice but to find bedding and make a floor bunk for Chen Xiaomu in Wang Yun's original reception room. Ximen Ruoen slept in the bedroom where Wang Yun used to live. The two of them were one mile away. After Du Fengxian left, Chen Xiaomu was sleepy. I couldn't even open my eyes. I was just about to open the quilt and sleep, when a tall-breasted and charming woman walked out of the bedroom. In addition to her face, I could vaguely see a little bit of Ximen Ruoen, and the shadow of Ximen Ruoen, who had just entered. That Ximen Ruoen is like two people.
Chen Xiaomu was stunned. Ximen Ruoen smiled sweetly and explained, "I had worn the clothes for many days and they were really dirty. So I rummaged around in Wang Yun's bedroom and found a few sets of women's clothes. I just picked up a new set of clothes that I haven't worn before and put them on, how about it? Do you think it fits?"
"Well, she's very beautiful, a little feminine!" Chen Xiaomu praised.
Simon Ruoen rolled his eyes at him, "I'm going to resume wearing women's clothing in the future. Can you accompany me to the street to customize a few sets tomorrow?"
Chen Xiaomu nodded, "Princess Ruon, you are much more beautiful in women's clothes than the tomboy you used to be. If you put on some light makeup, you would definitely be a stunning beauty. And now your voice is much better than before! But if you go to war with the army, , there must be a lot of inconvenience in wearing this women’s clothing.”
Simon Ruoen pouted and said, "If you say I look good in women's clothes, I'll show them to you. As for marching and fighting, don't you still have to protect me?"
When Chen Xiaomu heard Ximen Ruoen suddenly speak to him like this, he couldn't help but be startled. He waved his hands quickly and said: "Princess Ruoen, don't get me wrong. I just said that you are indeed beautiful. I have no other thoughts in my heart!"
Ximen Ruoen angrily approached Chen Xiaomu, stared at Chen Xiaomu closely, and asked, "Didn't you say you wanted me to be your wife in the Zheng Army Camp? Why did you forget?"
Chen Xiaomu was stunned and speechless by Ximen Ruoen's question. After a while, he patted his forehead with his hand and said with a bitter smile: "Princess Ruoen, what I said was just a joke, why did you take it seriously? ?”
"Is it because I'm not beautiful that you said that?" Ximen Ruoen's face instantly turned red. "
