Chapter 62: One Day Husband and One Hundred Days of Grace
When Chen Kaizhi returned home, it was midnight, the full moon was hanging high, and the soft moonlight fell in this small courtyard. Although there was no music of silk and bamboo in Xuanwu Lake, nor the brilliance of thousands of lights, it gave Chen Kaizhi a sense of peace and tranquility. He knocked on the door, and there was a rustling sound inside. The door opened, Chen Wuji was neatly dressed, with a smile in his eyes.
"Have you been asleep yet?" Chen Kaizhi held his lotus leaf bag and placed it on the table, his arms a little sore and numb.
Chen Wuji looked at the dishes with his eyes straight, and Chen Kaizhi heard the sound of swallowing.
"I... wait for my elder brother to come back." Chen Wuji said.
"It's just right, are you hungry? Let's eat it." Chen Kaizhi ordered Chen Wuji to take the dishes and pour them all into the dishes. Speaking of which, he is still hungry.
Chen Wuji asked, "Brother, where did this come from?"
Chen Kaizhi felt heartbroken, and he would pick up any pot without opening.
"I bought it for a hundred dollars."
Now that I think of the 100-liter-seat money, Chen Kaizhi still feels that his heart is aching and cannot be ruined, so I will eat it quickly.
Chen Wuji smiled: "Then will I eat it?"
"Eat and eat. If you don't eat, it will be broken tomorrow."
The two of them had a feast for a while, but they didn't have any food. They didn't care about it. When the dishes were eaten, Chen Kaizhi touched his round belly and burped. He couldn't help but sigh that it would be great to have meat. If this continues, it would be impossible. He has to keep his mouth full. How can he eat that simple food in the future?
When I thought about it this way, I began to reflect on myself. I examine myself three times. If the saint said, it would be impossible not to reflect on it, because I am poor.
Chen Wuji had already yawned, obviously wanting to sleep. Chen Kaizhi said: "You go to sleep, I'll clean up here."
"I'll do it." Chen Wuji said attentively, "Brother Chen is a scholar and a scholar. When I was studying, I saw a saying in the book, "Junzi Yuanbaochu, Oh, Brother Chen, when did you go to propose marriage to Miss Xun?"
This kid is quite gossipy, Chen Kai is as plain as water: "I think about it again, marriage is a big deal. What are you anxious about?"
He was speechless all night and was about to get up the next day. There were still some days for the school to start. Chen Kaizhi simply studied at home and taught Chen Wuji's homework. At noon, Chen Kaizhi went out to buy a few steamed cakes, but found that another sedan was stopped in front of his house.
This is the Xun family's sedan chair, Chen Kaizhi recognized it. Miss Xun is here?
This Miss Xun doesn't give me any room to think about it at all.
He smiled and shook his head. When he walked in, he saw Miss Xun holding a food box and chatting with Chen Wuji.
Chen Wuji laughed brilliantly, obviously he was bribed.
Chen Kaizhi coughed twice, held his hands behind his back, thinking that he had promised Chen Wuji to criticize Miss Xun, and said, "Miss Xun is here, hello."
Miss Xun's fair face couldn't help but feel a little bright red. She didn't dare to look directly at Chen Kaizhi and said, "Wuji always said you didn't eat well. I thought about it and brought some food. You are men and can't stand hungry."
Chen Wuji immediately said, "Yes, yes, I can't stand hungry, I'm hungry now. Sister Xun is so nice to treat Brother Chen."
Chen Kaizhi pulled his skin and pretended to be a gentleman and scolded him: "A gentleman does not eat food given by pity. Have I never taught you these words? There is no etiquette at all. How do I teach you on weekdays."
Chen Wuji was shocked and hurriedly shrank his tongue and fell silent.
Miss Xun smiled sweetly, opened the food box, took out a note of braised sea bass, a stack of meat slices and bamboo shoots, and a small bowl of meat soup. She stroked the messy hair on her forehead, and her face was terrifying, making her raised pointed nose more playful: "Do you eat this food?"
Chen Kaizhi was silent, looked at the few dried hard steamed cakes in his hand, then looked at the table of food, and took a deep breath: "Eat, eat, who said he wouldn't eat?"
Sit down, raise the chopsticks without hesitation, and just try it out. Besides, you should supplement your brain nutrition by reading a lot. Chen Wuji sat down hurriedly and looked at Chen Kaizhi carefully.
Chen Kaizhi moved the chopsticks, and he breathed a sigh of relief and began to speak.
Miss Xun just sat aside.
Chen Kaizhi felt a little embarrassed and said, "Wuji, add a pair of bowls and chopsticks to Miss Xun."
Chen Wuji was busy responding, but while she was about to get up, Ms. Xun said, "No, I won't eat anymore. I have something to worry about and can't eat it."
Seeing Miss Xun's beautiful eyebrows slightly frowning, Chen Kaizhi said in his heart, "Caught me, you say you have something to worry about and you don't want to eat and eat." Then he calculated correctly and asked you what you have. Then you said, my cousin is going to propose a marriage, and then, I was put on the pillar of moral shame. If I don't propose a marriage, I will become a bastard from now on."
I'm too deep in my mind, ah... I can't eat this.
Seeing that Chen Kaizhi was silent, Miss Xun's eyes were watery and she seemed to be worried. She said quietly: "You don't ask me, what are you worried about?"
Chen Kaizhi sighed in his heart and said with a dirt-faced look on his face: "Uh, can I ask Miss Xun what is wrong?"
Miss Xun just now supported her jaw, revealing a thoughtful look, and said with a grievance: "After my cousin proposed marriage, my mother valued this marriage very much. Although I refused again and again, my mother said that my cousin knew her true nature and had a good family background. She was both good at both character and academic performance. I am old, how could I not marry? In a few days, I am afraid I will respond... I...I don't want to marry my cousin, Mr. Chen...I..."
Alas, I know.
Chen Kaizhi swallowed the food in his mouth and glared fiercely at Chen Wuji who was dancing hard while he was not moving his chopsticks.
Chen Wuji was shocked and hurriedly put down his chopsticks, sat upright, and did not dare to show off.
Chen Kaizhi said: "So that's it, are you just a few days?"
Miss Xun sighed and said, "Yes, it will last for seven or eight days."
Chen Kaizhi had no choice but to say, "I have eaten this meal, so I'd better say it clearly, you want to ask me to propose marriage."
Miss Xun wanted to say something, but she glanced at Wuji by her side, but she wanted to speak but stopped, but in the end she just nodded.
Chen Kaizhi thought for a while: "I have to discuss with my mentor. I have no relatives in this world. My teacher is like a father, and I have to be with my elders."
Chen Wuji said: "I am his brother, actually... I am willing. I agree ten thousand times."
Chen Kaizhi glared at him: "Eat your meal."
Chen Wuji was granted a general amnesty and immediately lowered his head and started dancing with chopsticks again.
Chen Kaizhi seemed very sad. He had just arrived in this world and actually did not want to get married, especially when he got married in such a hurry. But now when he saw this table of food, he really responded to the old saying, "It's so soft-hearted."
Thinking about the hypocritical faces of the father and son of the Zhang family, if Miss Xun married her, she would definitely be wronged. Chen Kai felt it was a pity that such a good girl would marry Zhang Ruyu.
So my heart made a difference.
