Chapter 15 Push open that door and walk out. (first update)
What does it mean to go out and release paper kites?
Chen Heng didn't understand what he meant, but he only heard from the master that the writer of the letter was talented and someone who could be trusted.Only then did he suppress the doubts in his heart, so he had no choice but to go home and find the paper kite Chen Qi gave him when he was a child.

Fortunately, today is a sunny day, sunny and sunny.The southeast wind blows slowly, shaking the branches.

Chen Heng came to the field with the paper kite and tried to put it away.It's funny to say, Xu Shi hasn't let it go for a long time, and Chen Heng failed for the first time.

Fortunately, there was no one around, so Chen Heng rolled up his sleeves and let it go a few times. At the best time, he only floated for a while, and then fell off immediately.Chen Heng was also annoyed, he dared to kill chickens, how could he not help you?Just about to pick up the paper kite, ready to run faster.

"Is the second brother going to fly a kite?"

In the field not far away, a hiding little head popped up.Chen Heng turned his head and saw that it was Qisuo who he hadn't seen for a long time.

"What are you hiding here for?" He asked Qisuo.

Qisuo tugged at the worn clothes on her body, and said with some embarrassment: "Father was arguing with mother at home, so I ran out."

The child was innocent and told what happened at home.

Chen Heng didn't say much when he heard the words, he just remembered that after Chen Sande made money in the county, he seldom went home.And every time he came back, he beat and scolded Qisuo Niang, it really made people wonder why he was so arrogant.

"Qisuo, teach me to fly a kite." Chen Heng changed the subject, but Qisuo smiled happily. He is also a kid in the village who knows how to play. Let alone flying a kite, you let him climb trees and catch fish without hesitation.

With the help of Qisuo, Chen Heng quickly released the kite.The long line sent the kite into the green mountains and white clouds, and the sun shone on the two of them, pulling out intertwined black shadows.

Now it has been successfully released, but then what?

Chen Heng looked at the paper kite in the sky, and couldn't help thinking about the writer's deep meaning.Qisuo on the side didn't know this, and just cheered. He hadn't been this happy for a long time.Ever since his father went to the county town, the adults in the village didn't let the children play with him, and Qisuo couldn't figure out why.

It happened that a gust of southeast wind was blowing, and the paper kite was shaking in the sky.Chen Heng tugged on the rope subconsciously to help Zhiyuan stabilize her posture.

Suddenly, Chen Heng looked at the thin thread linking himself and the kite in mid-air, and pulled it again, and the kite drooped a little in the sky.As soon as he let go, the kite rose again.

He seemed to understand something, but kept repeating this action.Qisuo looked confused, and quickly persuaded: "Second brother, second brother, don't pull it, the paper kite will fall if you move it any more."

Chen Heng remained silent for a long time, then he suddenly dropped the ball of thread and watched the kite slowly fall into the forest.Cai laughed loudly and said, "I understand, I understand."

At this moment, in Chen Heng's heart, a door called Wenwen slowly opened in front of him.The world of colorful flowers behind the door is like the melting spring water in spring, watering his heart.

This pleasure is really unspeakable.

Chen Heng ignored the beautiful kite, turned around and ran while laughing.

He is going home to write an article.

Seeing him running home in a frenzy, his family didn't wait to ask questions.Chen Heng had already run into the house and closed the doors and windows.Chen Heng didn't open the door until the evening, and the worried family members outside saw that although his expression was tired, his eyes were bright, so they felt relieved.

Just about to ask him to come over for dinner, Chen Heng said "I'm going to Master's house" and ran out again.

In the Wang family's school, Wang Xianming held Chen Heng's new work and read it carefully in his seat.After finally taking a breath, Chen Heng picked up the tea and started to drink.

"It's well written!!" Wang Xianming just finished reading it, and couldn't help but lined up on the table, and said, "That's the feeling, it's the feeling when I read it. It's neither too much nor too little, but it's just right."

Chen Heng, who was heartbroken, also said with a smile on his mouth: "Master, this man is really a god. With just a few hints from him, I want to understand the beauty of writing."

"Oh, what is it?" Wang Xianming couldn't help being a little curious. He was still outside the door, so he naturally wanted to ask the students about the scenery they saw.

Chen Heng had a lot of aftertaste in his heart, and he wanted to elaborate but didn't know where to start, so he closed his eyes and meditated, reminiscing about the touch in his heart when he wrote the article in the afternoon.

Seeing his disciple's state like this, Wang Xianming felt a little regretful in his heart.In the principles of this world, knowledge and practice are one hindrance, and practice and teaching are another hindrance.I was also in a daze, why did I ask such a question before Heng'er left the stage.

Just as Wang Xianming was anxious, Chen Heng opened his eyes and expressed his summed up thoughts.

"Consistently, the thick stems and branches are cut down, and the weight is lifted as if it is light."

"Just these few words?"

"Well, there can be no more." Chen Heng nodded. His knowledge has not yet reached the level of a master, and this summary is due to his solid and solid foundation in the past.

Blue is better than blue, Master Wang sighed in his heart and said with relief: "The county government has posted a notice that the county examination will be held as scheduled on the fifteenth day of next month, so you can rest assured."

"You must live up to the teacher's teaching."

Chen Heng bowed and saluted Wang Xianming deeply.

Looking at the disciple who had grown a lot in the past two years, Wang Xianming couldn't help but his eyes turned red, the past was vivid in his memory, not only Chen Heng's hard work day and night, but also the images of his own hard work emerged.Faintly, there was a young figure who seemed to have known him before, also bowing to him.

"Go, go. Good boy."

Looking at Chen Heng who left with his head held high, Wang Xianming looked at the wind-blown articles on the table, got up and blew out the lights, and took a last look at the dark school.Close the door softly, and when you turn around, you can see the bright moon hanging high.Wang Xianming couldn't help thinking.

Tonghua Wanli Danshan Road, the young phoenix is ​​clearer than the old phoenix.

Heng'er, let the people of Taixing County take a look at your talents.

…………

…………

The February calendar has only just been unveiled, and many students from around Taixing County are leaving.

After getting Wang Xianming's affirmation, Chen Heng also started to prepare for the examination.He had to go to Lizheng Office in the village first to get his documents.

It recorded his name, age, place of origin, and family background within the three generations, and it will not be written in too much detail.Probably just to say that this child has a clean family background and is not a descendant of prostitutes and slaves, so he can be relieved to take the exam and so on.

When he took this document, Lizheng saw that it was Chen Heng who came, and he couldn't help being a little surprised: "You left the examination room so early?"

Chen Heng nodded with a smile, and explained with function words, "Master said let me feel the feelings in the end, and also prepare for the future."

That's the thing.Li Zheng nodded, not surprised.This is also the method used by many scholars, all in order to let children adapt to the examination room early.

Probably thinking of his grandson who was persuaded by Wang Xianming to quit, when Lizheng handed the document to Chen Heng again, he joked: "Er Gouzi, don't be afraid, you should go to the examination room and fart, and also fight for your ancestors."

How could Chen Heng take such innocuous words to heart, he just smiled and cupped his hands, turned and left.

He still has a long way to go.

After returning home, the members of Old Chen's family were still leisurely discussing who would escort Chen Heng tomorrow.Probably Chen Heng's excuse worked. The whole family felt that Chen Heng's visit was all for practice, and he was not even in a hurry to discuss.

Mrs. Zhou felt that if she went to the county this time, she would have to live for several days, and it would be a waste of money to go to an extra adult. Anyway, Chen Heng's second uncle is also in the county, so it is better to let him take care of it.

Although Mrs. Gu is usually big-hearted, today she is rare and clever.She felt that the second uncle also had a job during the day, how could he put all his mind on his own son, he still had to let Chen Qi accompany him.

What about Chen Qi?He kept nodding, Gu Shi was right.

In fact, they didn't have to worry too much. Wang Xianming had already made arrangements for the five scholars required by the county and one guarantor.

The candidate was also decided by Wang Xianming himself, and Chen Heng only needed to bring his luggage.He tried to ask to go out alone, but it was a pity that Zhou and Gu rejected it together, which is a pity.

On February [-]nd, the dragon raised its head, and it rained lightly.

Chen Qi carried a simple bookcase on his back and led Chen Heng out of Shanxi Village.Accompanying him were his wife and his wife. The two of them were going to Yangzhou Mansion to pay a visit to the letter writer. I heard that his daughter's birthday was approaching, so the two families took this opportunity to get together.

This happened in previous years, Chen Heng was not surprised, but it was a little strange that Wang Xianming was willing to follow this time, as in the past, it was difficult for his wife to ask him to move a nest.

After driving for half a day, a group of four arrived in Taixing County. The rain was also annoying, so they followed them all the way from Shanxi Village to the county.

Everyone stopped at the entrance of the inn. Chen Heng and the other four scholars all booked rooms here.

At this point, the two groups will part.

Wang Xianming got off the bullock cart and took Chen Heng's hand.Feeling reluctance and worry in my heart, thousands of words were turned into one sentence, "Don't think too much, just keep a normal mind."

My wife's love is beyond words.Chen Heng nodded heavily, with determination in his eyes.

In the slight drizzle, Chen Heng stood at the door, watching the master's ox cart gradually go away, and bowed to salute.

　The county test, the county test, is coming.
