Chapter 68 Punishment
At the end of the dinner, at Chen Heng's request, only a piece of Yangzhou fried rice was served, which was regarded as a deal.The Yangzhou fried rice at this time did not have the fancy seasonings that Chen Heng remembered.

Instead of calling it Yangzhou Fried Rice, Chen Heng thought it was closer to egg fried rice instead.In fact, this dish has been popular among Yangzhou folks since the end of the former dynasty. It is very popular among the people because of its simple recipe and oily smoke.

After dinner, Chen Heng drove Daiyu out of the room, it was going to be late, it was not good for her to stay here as a little girl.

An An lay back on the bed, Chen Heng raised his fist above his head, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face. Fortunately, his hard work was not in vain.

It's just that when he thought of going back to the academy tomorrow, he couldn't help making a bitter face, and he didn't know what punishment he would get if he went back this time.If Xue Biao came forward to intercede for him, it should not drive him out of the academy.

Chen Heng was somewhat nervous, but thinking about it carefully, it was nothing more than a stab at him.I simply hugged the quilt and went to sleep, feeling a little worried about what will happen tomorrow, my young master sleeps well tonight so I don't know whether to live or die.

Anyway, he made up his mind that if he really wanted to be kicked out of the academy, he would hold Uncle Lin's thigh and cry a few times, trying to move all their books back to Shanxi Village.

After a comfortable night, Chen Heng woke up from the bed the next morning when the sun was shining brightly.With a dry mouth, he just got out of bed and went to the bedside to pick up the teapot when a servant's voice came from outside.

"Master, are you awake?"

Master?Are you calling me?Chen Heng trembled, feeling that he couldn't take it anymore, he quickly said to the people outside: "Don't, don't, just call me Xiaolang."

The servant opened the door with a smile and came in without arguing. He first asked Chen Heng if he wanted to wash or eat first.

As soon as he heard that he could take a bath first, Chen Heng immediately chose this, because he really stinks.The servant smiled and promised, and after leaving quickly, three or five people came in with a bathtub.

Chen Heng saw that there was still heat coming out from above, so it was still possible to live there.Directly wave away their willingness to rub their backs, strip off their clothes and jump into the bathtub.

This time, Chen Heng had a good time.Of course, there is a bathing place in the academy, but the hot water has to be prepared by oneself.But the bathhouses in the academy are small and full of people, most people prefer to spend more than a dozen yuan to wash in the bathhouses on the street.

Yes, there is also a bathhouse in Yangzhou, the name is nothing unusual, it is called Jiangnan Bathhouse, half a street away from the academy, and it is very popular among the teachers and students of the academy.

Among the bathhouses, the one with the most domineering name is the bathhouse in Tongzhou. The name is Tengwangge Bathhouse. When Chen Heng saw it in Xue Biao's idle book, he also felt that it was out of line.

After taking a good shower, Chen Heng soon discovered an embarrassing thing, he didn't bring any clothes.

"Young Master, Madam has already ordered me to bring your clothes. How about I send them to you now?"

Have you been waiting for this moment at the door?Chen Heng coughed and had no choice but to admit his fate: "There is work, there is work."

When the servant put away his clothes and left, Chen Heng hurriedly got out of the bathtub, and put the clothes on his body without any hesitation.

If you don't wear it, you don't know, but once you wear it, you will be shocked.Facing himself in the mirror in green clothes and jade belts, Chen Heng didn't know what to say for a moment.

Aunt Lin is really good at seeing people. When she makes money in the future, she must buy clothes like this.Chen Heng smiled, put his hair into a simple bun, put the jade hair crown specially prepared by the other party on his head, and passed the white tooth hairpin through the gap in the middle of the crown.

After getting dressed, Chen Heng stepped on his boots and walked out of the room.The previous servants were still waiting at the door, and when they saw him come out, they led them to the front hall.

All the way to the place where we ate before, Jia Shi, who received the news in advance, pulled Daiyu and gave a blessing to Chen Hengfu who came in, "Heng'er, Jue'er's matter is really troublesome. Aunt really doesn't know how to thank you..."

Chen Heng dared to accept the great gift from their mother and daughter, so he hurriedly dodged to one side, not daring to take credit for it, and said, "Aunt needn't be like this, it's just a coincidence to talk about it. I just happened to hear from a classmate that his master is a person with superb medical skills."

Lin Ruhai, who was reading at the side, put down the book and stood up, but his eyes glanced up and down at Chen Heng, and said with a smile, "So you dragged Mr. Xin's family overnight, and ran back and forth between Yangzhou and Gusu for ten days?"

Chen Heng smiled embarrassedly, so he could only say: "This is the first time I have done such an outrageous thing. Speaking of which, my nephew has something to ask. At the academy, can I ask my uncle to come forward and help me a little."

"Now you know you're scared?" Lin Ruhai blinked at him, pretending to be helpless, "I'm afraid I won't be able to show up. When Commander Xin rushed to your academy with a knife, he was chased by your mountain chief for half a street with a ruler."

"There is such a thing???" Chen Heng was also a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect his mountain chief to be so fierce that he dared to beat the general with a ruler.

"Isn't it?" Lin Ruhai suppressed a smile.

Daiyu finally couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly explained: "Father!! You told mother earlier, but Uncle Xin wanted to beat Mei Xuezheng with his fists, so he was beaten by the head of the mountain."

"Ha ha ha ha"

Seeing that Lin Ruhai finally couldn't hold back his laughter, Mrs. Jia hurriedly greeted Chen Heng, "Heng'er, don't listen to your uncle's nonsense. You don't have to worry about the things in the academy, your uncle will help you. Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? Tell your aunt, and your aunt will order someone to cook it for you."

Chen Heng repeatedly said no, the mistress, who was still radiant but tired, gave up her enthusiasm and ordered people to start preparing lunch.

Lin Ruhai picked up the half-read book, and Daiyu glanced at her parents, came to Chen Heng, and whispered, "Brother, I knew you would look good in this suit."

Only then did Chen Heng come to his senses, and asked in surprise, "You picked it?"

Daiyu wrinkled her nose, "Of course, Mother has been worrying about my younger brother recently, how can I bother her with this kind of thing."

She was wearing a white dress today, with bangs combed on her forehead, her hair was slightly coiled to one side, and was simply fixed with a gold ribbon, and there were three or five braids hanging down her ears.The white dress and white dress are already attractive, but her skin is three points better than Xue Xue's. The white light from the window into the hall also makes her complexion more transparent.

Chen Heng couldn't help taking another look, then turned his head away, only looking at the book in Lin Ruhai's hand, and asked in a low voice, "What book does your father read again?"

But Daiyu said directly: "Tomorrow I will borrow it and send it to the academy for you."

"..."

Chen Heng was stunned for a moment, wondering if the Lin family was a little too enthusiastic.

…………

After lunch, Lin Ruhai got into the carriage and escorted Chen Heng back to the academy.The conversation between the two along the way was mostly due to Lin Ruhai studying Chen Heng's homework, and the latter also took the opportunity to share the questions he had collected while reading "On Salt and Iron".

The time was short, Lin Ruhai just gave an overview in a few words, and before Chen Heng got out of the car, he told him to go directly to the Lin residence to find him the next time he took a rest.

Chen Heng kept this matter in mind, and with a little uneasiness in his heart, he stepped into the academy where he had been away for eleven days.

At noon, when everyone was resting, Chen Heng went straight back to the dormitory. Seeing that he had returned safely, all the people in the room laughed and surrounded him.

"Okay, you, brother Heng, you don't tell your elder brother about this kind of thing. It seems that you have forgotten our friendship with Jinlan." Jiang Yuanbai kept complaining as he walked around him, "It's true that people depend on their clothes and horses depend on their saddles. Brother Heng wears this clothes, which is not much worse than brother tadpoles."

"Don't talk nonsense, brother Xue is like a young man with a jade face, and his demeanor is compelling. How can I wait for Yingying's light to compare." Chen Heng waved his hands exaggeratedly, signaling Jiang Yuanbai to let him go.

Xue Biao raised his hand and lined up on Chen Heng's back from behind, "Don't talk strangely, how are you doing? Why did he come back yesterday, but you waited an extra day instead."

Chen Heng hurriedly told about the day and night that he slept in Lin's house, and everyone understood the hardships of Chen Heng's journey.Qian Dayou said with lingering fear: "Yesterday, I saw Su Zhao as a normal person. I thought you were just going out for fun. I never thought you would work so hard."

"Is the matter resolved?"

Chen Heng nodded at Xue Biao, showing a big smile, "Fortunately, it's a good thing to wait a while. By the way, where is Brother Su Zhao?"

"He, he was punished by the head of the mountain to weed the garden." Jiang Yuanbai showed a strange face, and patted Chen Heng's shoulder with distress, "Hurry up and change your clothes, I think you can't escape this punishment."

Chen Heng had already expected it in his heart, but he said regretfully, "Brother Suzhao has been implicated."

"Hey, Brother Su Zhao, why don't you call me Brother Yuan Bai. Brother Heng, we are all classmates, so you can't be partial."

"Go away." Chen Heng pushed Jiang Yuanbai with a smile, took off his clothes, and prepared to go to the head of the mountain to accept punishment.

　I would like to ask, is there any book friend who has more time and a more rigorous mind, and can help me correct typos in future essays.I think there are too many typos and the reading experience is always not very good.

　　The student party is given priority, don't be too low in Chinese! ! !
