Jiao Na appeared in class on time, and Chen Jianchen was not surprised at all; but what surprised Jiao Na was that Chen Jianchen did not mention the ink-burning learning task assigned yesterday, and went straight to teaching new words as if he had forgotten...
...Jiaona secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She ran out of the study in frustration yesterday and ran to the back mountain to relax. She sat quietly for a long time before she could get rid of the depression in her heart. However, she still didn't let go when she got home, and she didn't follow Chen Jianchen's wishes.
Xiang'er is learning to sharpen ink. If Chen Jianchen forces her to sharpen ink again today, the result will be the same as yesterday.
Chen Jianchen had a clear conscience and knew well that he could not push the rabbit into a hurry, so he kept silent about yesterday's ink grinding and started teaching new characters in a buffered manner.
While Jiao Na was memorizing the new words, she felt that Chen Jianchen was becoming more and more weird, elusive, and his behavior was not at all like the previous gentlemen, especially since there was actually a sword hidden in his soul!
This is no small matter.
A large part of the reason why Jiao Na was willing to lower her head and sit calmly in class to study was to find out the details of Chen Jianchen...
The night before yesterday, Huangfu asked her daughter insinuatingly why she was willing to listen obediently, but Jiao Na directly asked about Chen Jianchen's origins.
Huangfu didn't hide anything about this, and directly told what happened. But after listening to it, Jiao Na felt even more confused: There is no connection between Chen Jianchen's experiences and the sword hidden in his soul...
Thinking of this, Jiao Na decided that Chen Jianchen was definitely hiding something from his father... She even wondered if Chen Jianchen had an ulterior motive and deliberately came to the village in the form of a gentleman.
In this case, would Chen Jianchen already know the true identity of their father and daughter?
"Loyalty seems like traitor?"
The little vixen immediately thought of a more appropriate adjective, and his imagination began to expand. After constant improvement and supplementation, the final result was: Chen Jianchen came to the village with a conspiracy...
Growing up, Jiao Na was often taught by her father, saying that the world of mortals is big and complex, and people's hearts are like ghosts, cunning and unpredictable... Therefore, if you want to survive in the mortal world, you must be educated and sensible, so that you can distinguish between true and false, right from wrong, and so on; when her daughter refused,
Xiang Xue even gave a death order that she was not allowed to leave more than a mile away from Zhuangzi, let alone enter the city.
So to this day, apart from running to the back mountain every day, Jiao Na basically has no other social activities.
Huangfu was very wise and good at management, but his method of disciplining his daughter was really inappropriate. Instead, it aroused Jiao Na's rebellious mentality and made her even less interested in studying.
Jiao Na doesn't like to study, but she remembers clearly what her father said about "people's hearts are like ghosts", and "applies what they have learned" to Chen Jianchen, because there are many things about this excessively young gentleman that make him suspicious.
The place.
Fox nature is suspicious...
It's just that Jiao Na has no plans to tell her father yet. She only plans to learn more and master more before taking action. It's best to catch something current... and taking classes with Chen Jianchen is undoubtedly a good way to understand.
Of course, Chen Jianchen had no way of knowing what she was thinking, but he also understood that it was not easy to truly turn Jiaona into a "three good students." It couldn't be settled in three or two days, nor could it be eliminated with one sword.
A little magic will do. Subtle and subtle changes are needed just in time for the spring breeze and autumn rain.
Today's class ended successfully again.
Back in the East Chamber, Chen Jianchen went to ask Lu Xiyue to pack her things and let her return to Jiangzhou with Wang Fu. He had already discussed it early, and Lu Xiyue had no objection.
Because Wang Fu will leave early tomorrow morning, and the journey is in a different direction, Chen Jianchen wants to send Lu Xiyue's master and servant to Suzhou City Palace today, stay at an inn, and join Wang Fu and others.
Lu Xiyue didn't have much luggage, so she quickly packed it up, and Chen Jianchen took him outside to bid farewell to the emperor and thank him for his hospitality.
"Dad, my daughter is going to the city with her husband, sister Xiyue and the others!"
Jiao Na suddenly ran out and said happily that she and Lu Xiyue had been chatting quite happily these days and had become friends.
Huangfu immediately said with a straight face: "No, who knows what trouble you will cause after you go out?"
Jiao Na pouted and said coquettishly: "Dad, just let me go. At most, my daughter can promise to listen to her husband and not cause trouble."
Jiao Na has longed for Suzhou City. If she hadn't been restrained by her father, she would have wanted to take a look. She wanted to see what the real colorful world was like.
"this……"
The imperial officer looked at Chen Jianchen from outside, but wanted to ask for his opinion first and leave the decision-making power to him.
Chen Jianchen glanced at Jiao Na, who was full of expectation, and said: "Outside of the staff, let's ask Sister Huangfu Xiaolu to follow her into the city. It would be good to get acquainted with the people outside."
He agreed, and Huangfu had no objections anymore. He handed over his hand and said, "Then I'll leave it to Liuxian. If my daughter does anything inappropriate after entering the city, she will be disciplined by Liuxian."
He gave Jiao Na a few more words.
Jiaona was so excited that she could go to the city to play. She didn't have any objections and agreed to it all.
After getting on Huangfu's carriage, the group of people set off for Suzhou City.
Watching them leave, Huangfu Duowai suddenly turned a little gloomy and murmured: "The guy in the south has been making a little too much noise recently, and things are getting bigger and bigger... I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with, if the monks of the Taoist sect of the Shi family are alerted.
Come on, that’s not good... Well, it seems I need to use my hands..."
"Master, what did you say?"
The servant standing by saw the master's lips moving slightly, but no sound was heard.
Huangfu smiled and said: "Well, sir, I want to go out for a trip. I may not come back tonight. When Sister Xiaolu and the others come back, you can tell them."
"oh!"
The servant respectfully agreed that it was normal for the master to stay up late at night.
"Well, Ah Fu, there may be thunder and lightning tonight, so please pay attention to the doors and windows."
Before leaving, the imperial officer gave one more instruction.
Thunder and lightning? In the winter?
Ah Fu was immediately dumbfounded: Did the master say the wrong thing...
The carriage was long and winding. Lu Xiyue and Jiao Na were all sitting in the carriage. Chen Jianchen was sitting in front, leaning against the carriage with the handlebars, and sat steadily.
The wheels rattled, the sound was monotonous, and from time to time the clear laughter of girls could be heard behind him. Chen Jianchen simply took out a book he had brought with him to read.
Sitting in the car and studying hard, as if there was no one around.
When the groom saw it at a glance, he couldn't help but secretly admire him. He thought that scholars are extraordinary. They can read at any time and anywhere. No wonder he won the imperial examination and became a master...
Drive, drive, drive!
Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves from behind, and a rough shout: "Officials are doing their work, idlers should stay away!"
Chen Jianchen looked back and saw dust flying on the official road behind him, and three horses galloping towards him. The pedestrians on the road were so startled that they fled for cover.
It seemed that this was not the first time that the coachman had encountered such a thing. He waved his whip skillfully and stopped the carriage to prevent the horses from being frightened and running wild.
Ta-ta-ta!
The twelve horse hooves behind them took turns tapping the ground, and they quickly overtook them. There were only three knights, only two of them were wearing government soap clothes, and the other one was wearing ordinary linen clothes.
"Well, it turns out to be Zhang Huyuan from Li Daguan."
The coachman had sharp eyes and recognized the person.
Chen Jianchen was moved and asked: "Ma Liu, the Li Daguan you mentioned is Li Yifeng and Li Daguan from Xiguan?"
The coachman Ma Liu smiled and said: "It's not him. Apart from him, where else can you find another Li Daguan in Suzhou?"
"Well, what do you know?"
Ma Liu drove the carriage back on the road. When he saw Chen Jianchen asking him, he immediately started talking non-stop: "Returning to Mr. Chen, the thing is like this. Some time ago, in the canyon south of Dongshan Mountain, a big snake suddenly killed for some reason. Then
The snake is really big. Master, if you don't see it with your own eyes, you have no idea how big the snake is. It's a hundred feet long, with a head like a basket, eyes like copper bells, and its body can go around a mountain peak. I don't know how scary it is..."
Chen Jianchen laughed dumbly. This Ma Liu was obviously spreading rumors and had never seen the true face of the Big Green Snake. However, these are the characteristics of folk rumors, so it is not surprising. If a thing is told by more than three people orally, a sparrow can
Turned into a phoenix. He didn't bother to interrupt, just listened to the driver's words.
"I heard that this big snake was released into the forest by a damn snake charmer. I don't know why. After a few years, it became so big that it can eat people and elephants. Many people say that as long as this snake
If a snake eats enough nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine people, it will shed its tail and transform into a dragon..."
This rumor is even more unreliable.
Although Chen Jianchen is not sure whether there will be dragons in this world, he is sure that the big green snake eating people is just a low-level method of absorbing essence and blood to increase cultivation. He doesn't know how far he is from transforming into a dragon.
Far.
"The big snake harms people, and the people are panic-stricken. Every day, Xiangshen leads the people to make trouble in front of the government, but the officers and soldiers dare not go up the mountain to kill the snake. In desperation, the government posts a reward list, saying that whoever can hunt the big snake will get gold ingots.
Ten uh... tsk tsk, such a high reward is unprecedented, but it’s a pity that our family has no ability, so we can only stare..."
"During this period, there were a few Orion masters who were bold enough to unveil the rankings and go up the mountain to kill snakes, but they were all eaten by giant snakes in the end. As a result, no one dared to come forward anymore. The bonus is high, so
Damn... but yesterday, when I was driving for the master, I heard that Li Daguan sent someone to reveal the list. I didn't believe it at the time, but today it seems that it is probably true. The person who was with the two officials just now was Li Daguan.
Human Zhang Hu..."
Hearing this, Chen Jianchen couldn't help but ask: "Does Mr. Li know martial arts?"
Ma Liu said: "No, he is a scholar, how can he practice martial arts?"
"Then why would he go out and kill the snake?"
"Haha, I should send my men to kill him. Mr. Li has a rich family and a bold temperament. He likes to make friends with the world's heroes. He has many followers at home."
So, Chen Jianchen immediately understood that Li Yifeng was definitely not doing this to get the reward, but to earn prestige and reputation. If he succeeded in killing the big snake, the people in Suzhou would naturally be grateful to him. This
It will have a very positive impact on Li Yifeng's future career.
