Chen Kaizhi didn't show any expression, he knew that Xun You had some more words.

Xun You glanced at Chen Kaizhi and said, "I have inquired about you. Your articles are very good, and you are also knowledgeable. You are still clean and clean. I don't know how many times better than Zhang Ruyu. Ya'er favors you. In fact, I have no objection. I have never had any family background. The ancestors of our Xun family are not destined to be rich and noble. Don't they have the family business today? If that boy Zhang Ruyu has lost his family background, he will probably be far inferior to you. Now Ya'er loves you. I feel sorry for her and is afraid that she will do something stupid. So I come to find you and hope you won't be discouraged."

"No... don't be discouraged?" Chen Kaizhi looked at Xun You in amazement.

Xun You coughed, and seemed a little embarrassed, and sighed again, "What I mean is that you can have thicker skin."

Chen Kaizhi finally understood that Xun You didn’t like Zhang Ruyu, which is actually understandable. Mrs. Xun liked Zhang Ruyu because they were relatives and her own people, but would Xun You not know about people like Zhang Ruyu? Now Miss Xun is still alive and desperate. He leans on his daughter, but he is more optimistic about himself.

After all, I am the head of the mansion and a young talented man in Jinling. Even if I cannot make a fortune in the future, I will never be too bad.

Chen Kaizhi thought about it and said, "But Shiwang, there is one thing that is very puzzling for the students. Since Shiwang is the father of Miss Xun and the head of the family, since he doesn't like Zhang Ruyu, he will just refuse to marry..."

At this moment, it seemed as if it had hit Xun You's pain. Xun You was stunned for a long time, as if he was in a difficult situation, and finally said reluctantly: "I have a strong wife in my family, and I refused to get married. From now on, my life will be worse than death."

Although Chen Kaizhi despised Xun You very much, he could understand him, especially this sentence, which was worse than death, which made him feel heart-wrenching and surging. Chen Kaizhi immediately saw the scene of Mrs. Xun holding a steel whip in her hand and hitting Xun You. Thinking of this scene, Chen Kaizhi shivered suddenly.

"So, I hope you don't give up. Yaer asked me to tell you." Xun Yousi was very difficult, and I don't know if he should say that a man who could be eaten by his wife would find it difficult to show any courage. He finally said, "She said that life is your person, death is your ghost."

Chen Kaizhi understood that this was Miss Xun's routine. Going into the river was to express his feelings. Releasing this was a firm standpoint. This was to encourage himself to make his head bloody, even if he was pestering and even if he was shameless, he would not give up.

Thinking of this, Chen Kaizhi's mind appeared in his mind that exuded the tenderness of a woman and the stubborn pretty face. Inexplicably, somewhere in Chen Kaizhi's heart was softened.

In his memory, the gentle and delicate Xun Yaer did such a decisive thing, which really shocked Chen Kaizhi.

Chen Kaizhi bowed to Xun You and said, "Student understands, oh, uncle is here, don't you know if your wife knows?"

When Xun You heard Chen Kaizhi's question, his mouth trembled, and his pupils in his eyes were dissipated: "How could she know that in order to cover up, I didn't dare to sit in the sedan chair or the carriage. I walked around two more alleys before coming to the door. You... have to be careful."

Chen Kaizhi didn't know what he should be in, but just looked at Xun You and couldn't come back to his senses.

…………

The envoy Xuanjun came to Jinling in person. Now that the prefect of Jinling has not yet taken office, the Tongzhi is already sick. It is the time when there are no leaders. The officials in the palace are thinking about how to make arrangements. Unexpectedly, news came out at this time that the envoy Xuanjun in the palace went directly to the Jiangning County Government.

In fact, this is easy to understand. The poem "The Goddess of Luo" was presented by the magistrate of Zhu County, Jiangning. The Queen Mother Feng Yan was very happy. It is expected that the envoy of the selection of the juniors was guessing the best intentions. It can be seen that the Queen Mother still remembers the magistrate of Zhu County. It is probably only a matter of time before Zhu County Magistrate will rise to the top in the future.

The eunuch Zhang was old and gray-bearded. He was an old man who served the late emperor and was said to be the confidant of the empress dowager. At this moment, he had just arrived at the headquarters and the magistrate Zhu hurriedly asked someone to arrange the arrangement.

County Magistrate Zhu was also a little surprised by Eunuch Zhang's arrival, but this was a person in the palace and represented the Empress Dowager, so naturally he should not be underestimated.

After welcoming Eunuch Zhang into the Houya Hall, the Magistrate Zhu delivered a salute first: "My father-in-law came from afar, and the small county was not well received, and I hope he would forgive me. I was tired on the journey. The junior official had ordered people to clean up a few humble houses. I hope my father-in-law would not bother me, so I would take a break first."

Eunuch Zhang was indeed tired, but shook his hand. His voice was a little hoarse. Orchid pointed to dust off the dust on his robe and said softly: "No need, we came here after the imperial order. It is absolutely not easy to call the princess. The literary and artistic conception of Jinling is prosperous, so I am afraid there are many heroes. We have ordered people to go to various counties to collect yellow books from all over the country. Let's first see if there are any young men of similar age."

The Huang Book is the household book. After hearing this, the county magistrate Zhu shook his head and said, "Dadfather-in-law, if you check the Huang Book, it's a big mistake. The following officials' opinions should be simple and effective, it's better to check the academic record."

Eunuch Zhang knew what County Magistrate Zhu meant. Since he was the prince consort, he definitely was not an ordinary person who could be selected. The inspection must be extremely strict. First of all, you must at least have a student status and be a scholar. If you check the yellow book, this young man of appropriate age is as vast as the sea. When will he find out?

The academic status is different, and those who have not been admitted are directly removed.

Eunuch Zhang seemed to have other plans and pondered without saying a word.

County Magistrate Zhu thought about it and said, "What's more, the yellow lists in each county are very messy now. Jinling Mansion itself has a large population and a registered population of one million. If you really need to check it, it will take time and effort. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find out if it takes a few months."

This sentence seemed to have moved Eunuch Zhang. Eunuch Zhang smiled dryly, "Yes, we will go back to Beijing to report in a month. Okay, let's check the academic status. You will immediately send all the academic status of our county to our desks. Let's start from Jiangning."

Eunuch Zhang was ordered by the empress dowager and recruiting a prince consort was fake, but it was real to find the lost prince. He did want to check it out on his household registration, but he also understood that doing so was not only time-consuming and laborious, but also aroused people's suspicion. Secretly, he had ordered people to visit Eunuch Yang who had left the palace with the prince from the palace in Jinling, but he didn't know if he had any clues. At this time, some hope arose in his heart. Perhaps... the prince was adopted by the people here, studied, and went to school?

Time is limited, so this is a private visit. Some people in the court must not be known, especially those on His Majesty's side, otherwise... they will suffer.

Eunuch Zhang did not dare to neglect, and asked County Magistrate Zhu to go to the student status of Jiangning County first.

County Magistrate Zhu wanted to persuade Eunuch Zhang to be unhurried, but he saw that Eunuch Zhang was like this, but he was helpless.

After a while, the student status was collected, and a thick stack of hundreds of students from the county was placed in front of Eunuch Zhang.

Eunuch Zhang called a few civil servants and said, "Get students aged thirteen to sixteen."

Your Highness is fourteen years old now, but Eunuch Zhang feels that if he is left outside and adopted by someone, he may not be able to determine his true birth date. It is no problem to keep this age at this time.

County Magistrate Zhu couldn't help but say: "There are also some heroes in this county who are seventeen or eighteen years old and are still unmarried."

Eunuch Zhang smiled and said meaningfully: "This is the explanation of the Empress Dowager."

County Magistrate Zhu lost his words, and after a while, a hundred people of the right age were selected from them.

Eunuch Zhang was exhausted. He looked at the identities of several people in succession. This... seems wrong. His parents and brothers are very detailed, and their birth dates are very clear, not like they were adopted.

This...is not right. It has rough appearance and hair and hair like a halberd. What the hell is this? It has hair like a halberd at the age of fifteen. Did this man take the gun medicine? When the late emperor was here, he had a handsome face and the queen mother was also beautiful. How could he give birth to this guy?

Until he found a document, his eyes were straight, but he couldn't move. He raised his eyes and said, "What's going on with this Chen Kaizhi? Why is the information so scarce?"

When the county magistrate Zhu was shocked when he heard that Eunuch Zhang mentioned Chen Kaizhi, Eunuch Zhu asked the right person: "Oh, this child has just obtained a household registration recently."
