Chapter Thirty-two: Courtesy

Ye Chenliang was very proud. He knew that this time his cousin had to go with him. Then he would study and sleep in the carriage. It would be better if it rained in the middle of the car. There was no curtain or tent in the back. He would be soaked in the drizzle. Even if it didn't rain, the scorching sun would be enough for him.

At this moment, a fleet of cars and horses came from afar. Ye Chenliang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't know where the carriage came from. Then he heard someone say, "The Nephew Chunqiu, the Nephew Chunqiu..." Ye Chenliang stuck his head out and saw that it was Huang Jing. Huang Jing jumped out of the car and said, "It seems that I can hurry up. Didn't I say that I took our Huang family's car to Ningbo Mansion?"

Ye Chunqiu was stunned for a moment. He remembered that Huang Jing mentioned it once, but at that time he just thought he was just a casual and polite person. He didn't expect that Huang Jing was so trustworthy and really came.

He stepped forward to salute Huang Jing: "Uncle Huang Shi."

Huang Jing said with a smile on his face: "I happened to go to Ningbo. I was going to make a trip yesterday, but I thought you were going to take the exam today, so I waited for one more day. I was going to come early in the morning, but unfortunately I was delayed by the civil affairs. Finally, I still had time to get on the bus."

This is obviously because my relatives are not as good as others.

Ye Chunqiu was thanking him quickly. He glanced at Ye Chenliang and saw that Ye Chenliang's face turned pale. Ye Chenliang wanted to say hello to Huang Jing. After all, the Ye Huang family had already been repaired, and the Huang family had recently released a censor. If he had made friends with the Huang family, it would be very helpful to him. However, Huang Jing only had Ye Chunqiu in his eyes, and he didn't even look at him, which made him very depressed. What's more... The Huang family came to Ye's family to pick up Ye Chunqiu, which made him even more jealous.

Humph... What's so great about it? The Huang family's car is not as easy as my uncle's official car. He comforted himself in this way.

Ye Chunqiu was about to get on the bus, and while greeting Huang Jing, Ye Chenliang put down the curtain and was preparing to urge the driver to move forward.

Unexpectedly, the sound of horse hooves came from afar, and a policeman came over panting and shouted: "Who is the young master of Chunqiu..."

Ye Chenliang stopped moving again. He couldn't help but lift the curtain. Seeing a man who looked like a servant, he stopped the horse and said, "My county master heard that the young master of Chunqiu was going to take the exam. He said that he could stay in the county for one day when he passed Fenghua County later. The county teacher Liu will also go to Ningbo Prefecture City tomorrow. Liu also ordered that he would go with the young master of Chunqiu at that time."

"Ah..." Ye Chenliang was stunned for a moment.

Is County Magistrate Wang eating the ecstasy soup? The boy born in Chunqiu is going to take the exam, so he is also concerned... and... Liu Zhiyu must be a flatterer, so why should he join in the fun?

However... Wang County Magistrate is an out of reach for Ye Chenliang. As for Liu Teacher, although he is only an eighth-rank academic official, if Ye Chenliang wants to talk to Teacher Liu, he will have to pass at least five levels and kill six generals to become scholars. Only then can he be qualified to bow to the teacher and call himself a student. This is also unattainable for Ye Chenliang.

Ye Chenliang bit his lip, his face gloomy and terrible.

On the other hand, Ye Chunqiu took the mission and turned around and said to Ye Chenliang: "Brother, I originally wanted to walk with you, but Uncle Huang Shihe enthusiastically invited me to walk with Liu Zhiyu tomorrow. It's really a bad thing. Chunqiu takes the lead. Brother, we will see you again in Ningbo at that time."

Ye Chenliang was very annoyed, but he was also hindering Huang Jingzai and was very embarrassed: "Go, go, when you arrive in Ningbo, I live in my uncle's house, and I will come to you when I come."

……………………

Huang Jing took great care of Ye Chunqiu all the way, and it was very pleasant to be with him. Of course... Ye Chunqiu also knew in his heart that the relationship between the Huang family and himself was based on the symbiosis of interests. The poem he read had spread. The Huang Jingshi has now gained the reputation of being upright and distinctive in public and private. It will be of great help to Huang Jingshi. If the Ministry of Personnel takes the exam in the future, it will definitely be praised by Huang Jingshi. After all, if you give him a bad review, you will definitely attract criticism. It would be better to just do a favor and benefit from it.

Ye Chunqiu only had a slight understanding of many of the unspoken rules in the bureaucratic system, but judging from Huang Jing's warm attitude towards him, it was obvious that he wanted to continue to maintain this story. The more harmonious the relationship between the Ye family and the Huang family was, the more noticeable the story in the court was.

At night, Ye Chunqiu and Huang Jing went to visit Wang County Magistrate Wang. Wang County Magistrate was very happy and tried hard to do Ye Chunqiu. The next day, Liu Zhiyu's sedan chair arrived at the Huang family's villa. Ye Chunqiu is now just a child. Only when he gets a scholar in the future can he have the opportunity to deal with Liu Zhiyu, but now he has the opportunity to travel with him. It is also a good thing to contact this future "teacher" first.

Liu Zhiyu is kind and talkative, but he always shakes his head when talking, and his neck is slender. Ye Chunqiu is often worried that he accidentally shakes his head down, so he tries not to ask anything. Otherwise, once his interest in talking is fueled, he will shake his head violently. If this tragedy is caused by humanity, Ye Chunqiu will feel very guilty.

Fortunately, Liu Zhiyu and Ye Chunqiu were walking together, but because of the attention of County Magistrate Wang to Ye Chunqiu, he was not in the mood to say a lot to a little kid every day. However, Huang Jing was about the same age as him and always had many topics.

Ye Chunqiu was just listening quietly when he was walking with him. He heard about the customs of various places and some things in Ningbo's prefecture examination this year. Naturally, there were gossips that men could never leave: "It is said that the prefect has a bad relationship with the Tongzhi. A few days ago, the prefect Zhou scolded several clerks in the Tongzhi Hall in front of the officials. In this way, Liu Tongzhi must have made the prefect Zhou unhappy."

"Of course, since ancient times, the chief officials and the adjutant have not been harmonious. Besides, Liu Tongzhi also has some relationship in Nanjing. He is a person who is unwilling to be lonely, so he is naturally not afraid of the prefecture Zhou. In any place where the Tongzhi is supported by someone, he often fights against the dragon and tiger. Alas... The fight between gods has caused suspicion from all counties. Originally, the magistrate of the county was going to go in person this time, but it was to hinder the respite of the Ningbo Prefecture Adjutant, so he simply hid in the county and sent the old man. When he went to Ningbo this time, he didn't know what would cause trouble. Fortunately, the old man was slight and he didn't have to be pushed to the forefront. Let's see that they used their own methods."

The Huang family has produced a censor, so Huang Jing is extremely concerned about any actions in the Zhejiang officialdom. He squinted: "The family and dogs in Ningbo Prefecture are uneasy, and it is said that they are inseparable from some things in Nanjing..."

Teacher Liu shook his head and said, "How can these entanglements be explained clearly? Well, I am just doing the same thing as a man. What does the great things about all the princes have to do with me?"

"Haha..." Huang Jing was also amused by Liu Teacher Liu's attitude.

Damn...Is this funny too?

Ye Chunqiu felt that the world of "adults" was too complicated. In other words, he used to being chased and beaten up by Ye Juncai and was intrigued with his elder brother every day. He had long been used to the length of the family. Now he has suddenly entered a new level and always felt a little uncomfortable.
