Chapter 1165 Shocked (Part 2)
Just as Manager Xu and Chen Yi were reporting the matter, the client who went to Wu's house to deliver the news returned to the pawnshop. When Manager Xu was about to ask him what the result was, a person suddenly came in from outside the door. When he saw them, he burst into laughter.
"Haha, Mr. Chen, congratulations, you have been summoned by the emperor today." Mr. Wu laughed and bowed to Chen Yi and said.
Hearing Mr. Wu's words, Manager Xu showed a look of shock on his face, and he felt a little unbelievable. Chen Yi was actually summoned into the palace by the emperor today. If it were someone else, even if he didn't say it, he would have a more or less strange face, but Chen Yi was exactly the same as usual.
What a great honor to be summoned by the emperor into the palace. If he could be summoned by the emperor, then the eighteen generations of ancestors would follow the glory.
Chen Yi showed a smile on his face. The news of these aristocratic families is really well-informed, but the carriage obviously has a royal mark. In addition, after Eunuch Yu knocked on the door for so long, Yusi was a densely populated place, so naturally someone would find it.
What's more, some large families have their own news channels in the palace, so they will naturally not miss this important news.
Mr. Wu’s family has been very popular recently, and there are other big families, so it is not surprising that they have news about it.
"Tongxi, Tongxi, if it weren't for Mr. Wu's help, my calligraphy wouldn't have been discovered by the emperor." Chen Yi also bowed to Mr. Wu.
Mr. Wu shook his head, "The power our family has put in is insignificant, and the most important thing is Mr. Chen's calligraphy level. I not only heard that you were summoned by the emperor to the palace, but also refused the emperor's reward. Among them, the Grand Secretary of the Wenhua Palace rewarded was fine, and there was also a doctor of the Ministry of Rites, exactly the same as my grandfather's official position. My grandfather was the head of the Ministry of Works at the beginning, but now he has been through decades before he becomes a doctor of the Ministry of Works."
The shopkeeper Xu next to him was already stunned when he heard this. The Grand Secretary of Wenhua Palace and the Doctor of the Ministry of Rites, he did not expect that the emperor would give such a generous gift, and even more unexpected that Chen Yi would refuse. Just as Mr. Wu said, that was a Doctor of the Ministry of Rites, many people longed for but could not get a position.
The doctor is a fifth-rank official position, and is at the ninth level of the ninth level of the 18th level of the official system. This is a middle-level and high-ranking position.
"If you don't want to be an official, you will refuse." Chen Yi said casually. He was too lazy to explain to others again.
Mr. Wu smiled and said, "It's all right. Who would have expected that you actually made two requests to the emperor, one was to buy your calligraphy with money. The other was to watch the antiques treasured in the palace. Mr. Chen, you are the person I admire the most in my life. No one can compare to you. Please accept my bow." As he said that, he bent down and bowed to Chen Yi.
Manager Xu showed a look of horror on his face. He made two requests to the emperor, one was to buy calligraphy with money. The other was to watch the antiques treasured in the palace. At this moment, the storm of waves rose in his heart. Thinking about it, it was a trembling thing. Chen Yi actually had the courage to do it, "Young Master Wu, what did the emperor say in the end."
"Haha, what can I say? Mr. Chen came back so safely, of course, because he agreed to these two requests." Mr. Wu laughed, "Mr. Chen, I used to think we playboys are not afraid of heaven and earth, and thought we were invincible in the world, but compared to you, we are simply not worth mentioning, just like an adult, and a group of children playing with mud."
These aristocratic families only dare to bully the common people and those who are weaker than their own family. Chen Yi's actions of rejecting the emperor's generous rewards and making requests to the emperor were more than a hundred times stronger than them.
Chen Yike took the initiative to be summoned to the palace by the emperor, facing the Nine Five Supremes, and was calm. They probably would never have the chance to meet the emperor alone in their lives. Facing their elders, their children from aristocratic families were filled with panic.
He felt that after all the children of aristocratic families learned about these things, they were afraid that their inner arrogance would not dare to show them in front of Chen Yi.
Manager Xu showed a look of shock. The emperor actually agreed to Chen Yi's request. This was really hard to believe and hard to believe.
"Young Master Wu, if you have nothing to say here, I won't be visiting your house tomorrow." Chen Yi shook his head and smiled. Although he understood how much impact this matter had on others, it was also very annoying to always repeat it like this.
Mr. Wu quickly waved his hand, "Don't, Mr. Chen, I won't say anything." If these aristocratic families were lucky enough to be summoned by the emperor, they would definitely mention this matter to everyone, but Chen Yi was bored, which was really hard to see through.
Chen Yi nodded, "You will never just talk about these things when you come here."
"My grandfather is very honored that you will visit my house tomorrow. He especially asked me to come and thank you first and asked Mr. Chen when he will visit tomorrow." Mr. Wu bowed to Chen Yi and said, with a deep respect on his face.
Chen Yi thought for a while and said with a smile: "The plan for one day lies in the morning, then tomorrow is the hour."
"Okay, Mr. Chen, my family will send a carriage in advance tomorrow, and I will accompany you." Mr. Wu bowed and said again.
"Then I thank Mr. Wu for me." Chen Yi smiled slightly and bowed his hand back.
"Mr. Chen, then I will say goodbye first, see you tomorrow." Mr. Wu felt that he was not suitable for staying here for a long time, so he took the initiative to say goodbye. He thought that Chen Yi was like him, a person from the same world, but now, after knowing Chen Yi's heroic deeds, he finally understood that he and Chen Yi had a gap between heaven and earth.
Perhaps he would not be able to catch up with this kind of gap in his whole life. His grandfather spent most of his life conscientiously before he became a doctor. He felt that he would not achieve his grandfather's achievements at all, let alone Chen Yi.
After Mr. Wu left, Manager Xu was shocked, "Mr. Chen, I was really shocked. I didn't expect that today, you did such an unimaginable thing."
"Haha, Shopkeeper Xu, everyone has their own ambitions. Some people care about things, others may not care about them. High officials and generous salaries are extremely eager for others, but for me, it is not only helpless, but will hinder my future development. You will get used to these things in the future. I will take Erzhuang back first."
Chen Yi smiled, stood up, and slowly said to Manager Xu. Finally, he walked to the door and took Erzhuang to the home.
Looking at Chen Yi's back, Shopkeeper Xu could not come back to his senses for a long time. Finally, he nodded and agreed with what Chen Yi said.
The officialdom is unpredictable and very complicated. With Mr. Chen's intelligence, he may be like a fish in water, but this will undoubtedly hinder his development in calligraphy and painting. Just like Xu Wei, he entered the officialdom. Although he achieved some achievements, he ended up committing suicide several times.
"Erzhuang, how do you think of the pawnshop work?" Chen Yi asked Niu Erzhuang on the road.
"It's very good. I can eat enough every day, and it's much more powerful than being a thief before." Niu Erzhuang giggled twice.
Chen Yi smiled and nodded, "Do you have any relatives in the capital?"
"There is a cousin, but he didn't care about me. When he went to the capital to find him, he gave me a few copper coins and sent me away." Niu Erzhuang said with a smile, not too much anger on his face.
"Well, I'll do my best in the future. After waiting for a month, I'll pay you a salary. I'll give you a few days off and go home to see you." Chen Yi smiled. He asked Niu Erzhuang to follow him before, but he was attracted by this honest and simple personality.
Hearing Chen Yi's words, Niu Erzhuang's expression changed, "Brother, what did I do wrong? You can beat me and scold me, don't let me go home."
"Haha, it's because I scared you. It's not that I don't want you to do it anymore. I'm asking you to go home and buy some good things for your home. Do you understand?" Chen Yi couldn't help laughing and shook his head and said.
Niu Erzhuang patted his chest and then breathed a sigh of relief, "Just not let me leave."
When he returned home, Chen Yi cooked himself and cooked a table of good dishes. If he didn't cook, wouldn't he let Niu Erzhuang, a fool, cook? The food he made was probably poison.
The night passed quickly. The next morning, Chen Yi got up early and practiced Tai Chi health care in the yard. As for Niu Erzhuang, he was still asleep in the house.
He was originally planning to let Niu Erzhuang learn this Tai Chi health exercise. Who knew that after Niu Erzhuang saw it, his head was shaking like a Bron's drum, saying that he didn't learn this martial arts and was not suitable for him. It was too slow and too soft. What he liked was simple and rough.
Hearing this, Chen Yi had to smile bitterly. He was indeed a fool. His simple and crude boxing technique was powerful in the early stage, but it was very harmful to the body. The power in the later stage would be much weaker. Tai Chi health care is a boxing technique for cultivating one's own nature. Practicing it deep can increase your physical fitness and also have great power.
Just like him now, even if he doesn't use things like amulets, with Tai Chi health preservation and light skills, dozens of soldiers will not be his opponent.
After preparing breakfast, he went to the room to wake up Niu Erzhuang. He really didn't know who was the master and who was the servant.
Afterwards, Chen Yi and Niu Erzhuang came to the pawnshop together. When it was Si Shi, which was a little while before he saw Mr. Wu walking in.
"Mr. Chen, the carriage is ready, and the grandfather at home is ready to welcome you." Mr. Wu walked in and bowed to Chen Yi and said.
