Chapter 247: It's Useless to Read the Military Book
Zhao Pingchuan understood what he meant and quickly smiled at him, "Since you two are here, why don't you stay and have a meal before leaving?"
Chu Ling glanced at Shi Chunfen and saw that the other party had no objection, so he nodded quickly and said, "Then I'll bother you, sir."
The food in the Yamen was much simpler than that in the Chu family, but it was still exquisite. Shi Chunfen accompanied Chu Ling, and for the first time he saw how talkative he was when dealing with people in the officialdom, ranging from the political situation to the local government.
There was nothing that Chu Ling couldn't talk about among the common people. Shi Chunfen sat beside him and stared at his profile, unconsciously becoming a little obsessed.
I don’t know how long they chatted. It wasn’t until Zhao Pingchuan was enjoying the conversation that Chu Ling stood up, cupped his hands and said, “Then let’s go back first.”
Zhao Pingchuan looked at him reluctantly. There were fewer and fewer sober young people like Chu Ling nowadays. If he was not the son of Huating County Lord, he really wanted to take him for his own use, and he would definitely be more powerful than a tiger.
"You have to be careful when you go to Beijing to take the exam this time." Perhaps because he was worried about the Spring Equinox nearby, Zhao Pingchuan didn't have the nerve to give too many instructions.
But Chu Ling already understood what he meant, "Don't worry, sir, I will act with caution."
In just two sentences, Shi Chunfen had already heard the danger of the capital. Whether it was the head of Huating County or the prefect of Liuzhou, when they mentioned going to the capital, they all had the same reaction, as if it was some kind of dragon pond and tiger's den, which even made her feel nervous.
Get nervous.
But she knew that Chu Ling didn't want him to worry, so she pretended not to understand anything, saluted Zhao Pingchuan with a smile and left.
The two got on the carriage and returned to Chu's house. No one said anything along the way. It was not until Chu Ling finished washing and came out from behind the screen that he saw Shi Chunfen reading again at night. Then he frowned and said, "Why are you still here so late?"
Not sleeping?"
"You go to sleep first." Shi Chunfen didn't even raise his head, "I'll read the military book for a while."
She spoke so confidently that Chu Ling's cheeks darkened. He took the military book from her hand and said dissatisfiedly: "It seems that I am the one who is about to become an official. What do you like?"
Shi Chunfen tried to grab the military manual back, but he couldn't match Chu Ling's strength. He suddenly looked aggrieved and said, "I can't help you when you go into battle to kill the enemy. Why don't you just read the military manual?"
Chu Ling simply couldn't laugh or cry, "I haven't even entered the official position yet, where will the formation come from and where will the enemy come from?"
"There are no enemies on the battlefield, but who knows what enemies you will have in the court?" Shi Chunfen said with a flat mouth.
Only then did Chu Ling realize that this silly girl must have understood Zhao Pingchuan's instructions and was worried about him going to Beijing. He sighed, put down the military book in his hand, and said helplessly: "Even if you are worried about
There is no point in reading military books on this."
How can the affairs of the government be understood by relying on military books?
Shi Chunfen also knew that his move was very clumsy, and lowered his head in grievance, "I originally wanted to read some political history books, but those books didn't talk about the situation of our dynasty, so I thought of reading the Military Book Society
It won’t be any easier.”
Chu Ling was extremely funny, but he was also very moved in his heart. For a woman who had been trapped in the back house since she was a child, she painstakingly studied the art of government and military for him. What else could he not be satisfied with?
"You don't need to read these." Chu Ling closed the military book and picked up Shi Chunquin, "Instead of thinking about reading a book to help me, it's better to do something practical."
Shi Chunquin looked at him blankly, "What are you doing?"
"Give me children as soon as possible and carry on the family line."
…
After a restless night, Chu Quan and Chu Ling were awakened by the noise in the yard the next day. It turned out that Chu Quan was released at midnight last night. After a simple rest, they found out that his parents had replaced him with the Bei Ming Army.
Regarding his release from prison, he came to Chu Ling's yard early in the morning to make a fuss, asking him to hand over his seal and IOU.
The two struggled all night last night and fell asleep in the morning. However, they were woken up by this man again shortly after sleeping. Shi Chunfen lay on Chu Ling's chest and muttered dissatisfiedly, "Didn't he just be released?
How did you regain your energy so quickly?"
Seeing that she was still dazed and looked like she hadn't slept well, Chu Ling had to sit up and push her back into bed, "You continue to sleep, I'll go out and take a look."
He made such a fuss last night that Shichun Equinox was so tormented by him that he didn't bother to feel sorry for him getting up early. He just covered his head with the quilt and said, "Then go ahead."
Seeing that she was so confident and had no intention of coaxing him, Chu Ling was so amused that he forcibly lifted her quilt and pinched her nose, "You are the only one who dares to command me so confidently."
Shi Chunfen muttered, not sure what he said, but he was full of dissatisfaction.
Chu Ling didn't have the heart to continue tossing her, so he quickly tucked her back into the quilt, got up, put on his clothes, and walked out of the room.
Chu Quan was making a big fuss in the yard. Lang Hao had brought a large group of people to block him out, but he still couldn't stop his loud voice. Seeing Chu Ling being woken up by him and coming out, Lang Hao and others were frightened.
They all stepped aside and said with a guilty conscience: "Uncle, Third Master, he..."
Chu Ling raised his hand slightly, indicating that they didn't need to explain. He strode forward, walked in front of Chu Chuan, and said coldly: "What's the matter?"
Seeing that the real master finally appeared, Chu Quan let out an angry cry and rushed forward to grab him by the collar. However, he had been in prison for too long, and the wounds on his body had not healed, so his movements were far less agile than before.
In addition, he was never Chu Ling's opponent, so it was really difficult to meet Chu Ling.
Chu Ling just turned slightly to avoid his attack, "Why are you so crazy here so early in the morning?!"
Seeing him use the word "crazy" to describe himself, Chu Quan was so angry that he went crazy, "My parents have obviously exchanged the Beiming Army for my release from prison, how can you have the nerve to defraud me of the seal and IOU again?
"
"Liar?" Chu Ling raised his eyebrows slightly and said coldly: "Didn't you give it to me voluntarily?"
"When did I voluntarily give it to you?" Chu Quan was so angry that he jumped up and down, "It was obviously you and Shi Chunfen who went to the prison to sing and sing, saying that I had become an outcast, so I exchanged these two things with you.
of."
"Then what did you exchange for?" Chu Ling asked back: "Isn't it just that you are going to be released from prison? Isn't it that you are coming out now? When did we lie to you?"
Chu Quan was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth, "How can this be counted? I could have been released from prison. How could you use this matter as a bargaining chip?"
"What's not allowed?" Chu Ling shrugged, "You were not released from prison at that time, so we could use this matter in exchange for you. If you had been released from prison at that time, you would still need to use this matter.
Will you switch with us?"
"You are using strong words to make excuses!" Chu Quan was so angry that his face turned blue.
