Chapter 41: Unfathomable
Early the next morning, Chen Kaiyi woke up and wanted to go to school. Unexpectedly, before he left, he heard Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy Crazy C
Chen Kaizhi hurriedly walked out and saw that Zhou Massachusett was standing outside in a spirited manner, quite coquettish.
Crew Zhou smiled and said, "I heard about yesterday. It's amazing. Boy, aren't you going to prepare for the house trial? I have some books at home that I bought for my incompetent son. I hope he can make progress. Who knows that this guy is the mud that can't be helped? I thought to myself that maybe you can use it, so I sent it."
As he said that, he handed a bag on his back to Chen Kaizhi.
Chen Kaizhi was not shy, and said thanks all the time while saying thanks. He opened a corner of his bag, but saw that these books were all new. Chen Kaizhi understood in his heart that this was not the collection of books from Zhou Chaiyao's family, it was clearly the newly bought one.
Brother Zhou is very touching. I just heard that I have a future, so I came to deliver a book when I changed my hand. This emotional intelligence will overshadow me.
Chen Kaizhi thanked again.
Crew Zhou beat him up and said, "What are you thanking me? Brother Zhou, work hard, your brother, you are waiting for you in high school. Okay, I still have to be a worker, I'm leaving."
It looked very ordinary, without any sign of pretentiousness, and I raised my hands and left.
Chen Kaizhi packed up the book, but he didn't have time to look closely. He suddenly thought about whether he should go to the county to meet the county magistrate Zhu.
Yes, although County Magistrate Zhu and Yang Tongzhi had other plans, they still took on his favor in their own name and face, so... well, I'm not sure how many things I need to trouble him in the future.
If you want to gain a foothold in this world, Chen Kaizhi doesn’t mind making more friends, let alone a person like Zhu County Magistrate who can be used in the future. Making friends is nothing more than running hard. Many times, people always try their best to figure out what others need, prepare gifts themselves, and cater to their preferences.
Chen Kaizhi would not say that, the reason is very sad, he is poor.
Poverty means original sin.
Of course, making friends is the same as getting out of singleness. After all, you need to be thick-skinned than the city wall. If you run frequently, the effect will be better.
After cleaning up, Chen Kaizhi walked to the county yard. After reporting, Song Ai Shi got the news and came out of the yard like a spring breeze. When he saw Chen Kaizhi, he said, "The nephew is here, the county magistrate is waiting to talk to you."
Chen Kaizhi understood and exchanged a few greetings with Song Ai Si, then arrived at the Houya Office House, and saw County Magistrate Zhu using breakfast, a bowl of millet porridge, and a few steamed cakes in the office, which looked very simple.
Chen Kaizhi's mind immediately had an image of integrity, but his personal feelings were sophisticated that he quickly understood the man Zhu County Magistrate.
People who live a simple life do not want to enjoy themselves, but their ambitions are much higher than ordinary people. This kind of person is truly terrible. They do not care about wealth, do not care about wealth, endure hardships, can endure what ordinary people cannot tolerate, and resist temptations that ordinary people cannot resist. So... what is he pursuing?
After struggling in society for so many years in the previous life, Chen Kaizhi felt relieved when he saw this scene. A meticulous person like Zhu County Magistrate pays the most attention to etiquette. He must show off his solemn appearance when he sees anyone. This is called official etiquette, so he invites people to the hall, but he is eating porridge. This is very unusual unless... he regards himself as his own person.
This is a kind expression.
Chen Kaizhi bowed and thanked him.
County Magistrate Zhu took two mouthfuls of porridge and raised his eyes with a smile, but the eyes seemed so deep that it was beyond the bottom.
He raised his lips slightly, pursed his lips, and said, "Don't say these strange words, I expected you to come, Song Aishi, give Kaizhi a bowl of porridge."
It's great. I save breakfast. I can eat more and even lunch.
Chen Kaizhi was always full of expectations for eating, and hurriedly thanked him. He sat down and waited for the porridge and steamed cakes to be delivered. He was not polite and started to eat them voraciously.
"Kaizhi has a good appetite. I really envy you young people." County Magistrate Zhu took the time and smiled.
Chen Kaizhi didn't feel embarrassed, but just smiled and said, "I have been studying these days and I don't want to eat and eat. Today, I saw the county magistrate's sweet food, which aroused my appetite."
A shameless answer, invisible pretentiousness is the most fatal.
County Magistrate Zhu showed admiration: "Then Kaizhi eats more. Although studying is important, the young man's body is also important. Ling Shi, it's okay."
Chen Kaizhi swallowed the steamed cakes, and said, "It's very good."
County Magistrate Zhu said: "You have a very good talent. The piano music yesterday shocked everyone. However, scholars should focus on academic studies. The government examination is approaching. Our county is paying close attention to your performance. Over the past few decades, none of the top three in the Jinling Palace examination came from Jiangning. This time, this county will hope to let you go. Don't let this county down."
Chen Kaizhi nodded, ate and drank enough, and then touched his stomach. It felt so good to eat openly.
County Magistrate Zhu also chewed it slowly and ate it. He wiped his mouth with silk silk and used a copper basin to clean his hands. Then he said, "There is a painting here. Please give it a taste. Song Ai Shi, take it."
Chen Kaizhi was full of doubts when he looked at the painting for no reason, but now he was very interested: "It is better to obey your orders than respect."
Song Aishi took the painting and spread the scroll, and a picture of flowers and birds was displayed in front of Chen Kaizhi.
Chen Kaizhi had some experience in ancient paintings, but literary youth loved this tone. After reading it, he couldn't help but applaud him.
County Magistrate Zhu smiled and said, "This is a masterpiece by Mr. Minglu two hundred years ago. Mr. Minglu is known as one of the top ten painters in our dynasty. His calligraphy is valuable."
Chen Kaizhi nodded in his heart. This is not a false statement. Ancient paintings from two hundred years ago, and a masterpiece by a famous teacher, are worth hundreds or thousands of taels of silver.
Unexpectedly, County Magistrate Zhu picked up the painting with a smile and threw it directly into the charcoal basin under his feet. The charcoal in the basin turned red. As soon as he touched the flammable ancient painting, a flame suddenly rose up, and the smoke rolled, and a priceless ancient painting suddenly burned to ashes.
Chen Kaizhi was stunned and his heart was so thrusting that it hurt. It was a waste of resources. Damn, this is money. If it weren't for pretending to be a thrust, Chen Kaizhi would have wished he could jump into the brazier and rescue some of it.
After the rolling smoke, County Magistrate Zhu's face became a little blurred, but the calmness on his face and the indifference in his bones were fully revealed. He said lightly: "This is sent by the Zhang family. This time, they made a mistake and bet on Yang Tongzhi. Haha... Now they want to make up for the loss, so they sent this painting. Kaizhi, look, the Zhang family is really willing to do so."
Chen Kaizhi immediately understood that County Magistrate Zhu was a ruthless man and was afraid that he would liquidate the Zhang family in the future.
This was really great. Chen Kaizhi was so disgusted with Zhang Ruyu. Now the county magistrate Zhu made a statement with paintings, and he even wanted to win over himself. Chen Kaizhi was busy bowing: "The Zhang family is rampant in the countryside, and it is difficult to write about it. The county magistrate is not greedy for their wealth..."
County Magistrate Zhu waved his hand: "I know that you want to say things like Master Qingtian, but this county is definitely not Qingtian. This flashy hat is not rare for me."
The magistrate Zhu looked at Chen Kaiyi deeply and then continued: "As you said in yesterday's tune, men should be self-reliant. Kai is like this, and this county is like this."
