Daxianguan

Chapter 31

Although Zhou Fang wanted to follow, he didn't dare to disrespect his lord's words, so he had to drive back first.

Seeing the carriage leave, Cui Huanzhi said to the guard beside him, "Yan Ji, lead the way."

Li Yanji didn't say much, just nodded, and then led the way.

Everyone in Lingxian County knew that a sixth-rank official had come to Ancheng, but very few people had actually seen Cui Huanzhi, so even if they were walking on the road, no one would recognize him.

Soon, Li Yanji took Cui Huanzhi to an ordinary small courtyard.

"My lord, I have inquired before, and that Chu Xian lives here." Li Yanji said respectfully.

"Who do you think Chu Xian is? Is he the one I'm looking for?" Cui Huanzhi asked at this time.

Obviously, Li Yanji is regarded as the most trusted person.

The latter's expression remained unchanged, and he shook his head and said, "Subordinates are not allowed to make rash remarks on things that adults are not sure about."

"Don't be scruples, what do you think in your heart, how do you say it."

"I don't know about Chu Xian. Zhou Fang has followed the adults for many years, and the adults understand him best. To be on the safe side, Zhou Fang is still the No. 1 choice."

Cui Huanzhi nodded without asking any more questions, and asked Li Yanji to knock on the door.

"My lord, do you want to put the knife away?" Li Yanji asked.

What he meant was that ordinary students would be somewhat nervous when they saw a person with a knife coming to the door, but seeing Cui Huanzhi shaking his head, Li Yanji stopped talking and knocked on the door instead.

In the yard, Chu Xian had just added the last medicine into the medicine jar, and after that, he only needed to boil it for an hour, and it was done.

At this time, I heard movement outside the courtyard, and just wanted to open the door, at this time Chu Huang had already woken up, and said: "Xian'er, I will open it, you have been busy all day, take a rest."

After this period of recuperation, Chu Huang's health has improved a lot. Although he is still weak, just as Chu Xian expected, his life is no longer in danger.

But judging from his face, it can be seen that Chu Huang's family is recovering from a serious illness.

The door opened, and Cui Huanzhi saw that it was a woman who opened the door, but her face was weak, she was obviously ill, and guessed it should be Chu Xian's mother.

So he said with a smile: "This madam is right. The two of us came from Ancheng and passed through Ling County. We were tired from walking. We wanted to take a rest and ask for a bowl of water."

Chu Huangshi looked at the two people outside the door with a wary face, because she saw one of them carrying a knife at a glance.

Those who wear swords outside are either officials or bandit road tyrants. Thinking about it, it is impossible for thieves to be bold enough to come to the door in broad daylight. Then these two should be the officials. If the officials come to the door, how dare they refuse? So he took a deep breath, nodded and said, "It's not easy to go out, so come in, rest your feet, and drink some water."

After speaking, the two of them were let in.

Chu Xian heard the movement, walked out to have a look, and just in time saw Cui Huanzhi and Li Yanji coming in.

Although neither of these two people wore official uniforms, they were dressed like ordinary people, but the fabrics they wore were not what ordinary people could have. Anyone could tell that they were not ordinary people, not to mention that the other party was carrying a knife.

But to Chu Xian, these are not important.

Because he had seen Cui Huanzhi in his dream, and even Li Yangui who was next to him was quite familiar, so he recognized the two immediately when he saw them.

If you were someone else, you would be stunned and even startled, but who is Chu Xian?

The Lord of Dongyue Mansion, who has been immersed in the officialdom for decades, has a strong mind and a deep city, even the current Cui Huanzhi can't compare, so Chu Xian didn't show even the slightest flaw, but came to ask calmly.

"Mom, who are these two?"

Chu Huang said: "A passer-by from Ancheng wants to take a rest and ask for some water. Xian'er, go and pour two bowls of water."

Chu Xian nodded and poured water, while Cui Huanzhi looked at Chu Xian.

Needless to say, this young student should be the astonishing talent who wrote that one subject and five skills, Chu Xian.At first impression, Cui Huanzhi felt very good, because this young man gave him a very comfortable feeling.

Two bowls of water were brought over, and Chu Xian said to Chu Huang: "Mother, you'd better go back to your room and rest. After drinking this medicine today, you can rest for a while."

Chu Huangshi smiled: "That's great. During these days, mother drinks this bitter soup every day, and everything she eats is bitter, but mother knows that good medicine tastes bitter, and you are doing it for mother's good."

How could Chu Huang not know her son's filial piety to her, this time she also wanted to open a lot of things.If it weren't for her being too stubborn, being falsely accused, and getting sick all of a sudden, her son wouldn't be so tired of taking care of her.

These days, her son wakes up early and stays late every day. Chu Huang doesn't know about some things, but she forced Xu Duanfei to question him, and the latter told her that during the most dangerous days, Chu Xian stayed by her bed every day and stayed up all night. Knowing this, Chu Huang's heart was naturally extremely distressed, but she didn't dare to get angry any longer, she could only maintain a peaceful mind, so that her body could recover sooner, so that her son would not be dragged down.

So now Chu Huang listened to Chu Xian's words very much, got up and smiled with the two guests, and went back to the room to rest.At this time, Li Yanji poured down a bowl of water in one gulp, then got up and walked outside the courtyard.

In the yard, only Chu Xian and Cui Huanzhi were left.

Because the medicine was boiling on the fire, the courtyard was full of strong medicinal fragrance. Cui Huanzhi took a sip of water and said with a smile, "The medicinal fragrance is strong and lasts for a long time. It must have been boiled for several hours?"

When he said this, he actually said it to himself.

Originally, Cui Huanzhi was somewhat unhappy that Chu Xian did not participate in the poetry meeting of the school. After all, everyone knew that he would go to the poetry meeting. If Chu Xian did not go, he would be suspected of being arrogant.

But at this moment, this concern in Cui Huanzhi's heart has long since dissipated.

There is a reason for Chu Xian not to go, one is to take care of the sick mother, and the other is to boil the medicine, the medicine has been boiled for several hours, and new medicinal materials need to be added every once in a while, it is very laborious and time-consuming, because of this , that's why Chu Xian was absent from the poetry meeting.

Knowing this, Cui Huanzhi not only lost his displeasure, but instead valued Chu Xian more and more.

Since ancient times, filial piety has been the first of all good things. If there is no filial piety, Cui Huanzhi will not reuse it no matter how talented and strategic he is. It is precisely because of this that Chu Xian's first impression on him is so good.

Chu Xian nodded with a smile at this time: "It takes time and effort to boil the medicine, and the process is cumbersome, but I'm used to it!"

At this moment, Cui Huanzhi took a look at the rooms in the back. One of them was Chu Xian's study room. Although it was dilapidated, he could vaguely see many books placed on wooden shelves.

Immediately Cui Huanzhi said: "Little friend, can you let me have a look at your study?"

Chu Xian pretended to be surprised, but still nodded and said: "It's just the study, sir, if you want to see it, of course you can."

So he got up and led Cui Huanzhi into the small study.

The study room has adobe walls, the inside is only seven feet square, not big, but it is full of books, an old wooden table is wiped very clean, there are study pens and ink on it, and there are a few calligraphy on the wall, Some fonts are strong and strong, while others are soft and flowing.

　Get up early and ask for tickets and collections.
