The autumn rain is endless once it comes, falling in thousands of threads and pattering. As the rain falls, the weather becomes cooler in vain, with a slight chill.
Chen Jianchen had already put on his autumn clothes. He was sitting in his study, taking the time to review the Four Books.
Tuk-tuk-tuk!
There was a knock on the door and it was Ah Bao.
Abao walked in with a cup of hot tea in her hand. She put the tea on the desk and did not go out immediately, but seemed to hesitate to speak.
Chen Jianchen asked: "What's wrong?"
Abao lowered his head slightly and asked in a low voice: "Brother Liuxian, do you think I can study?"
Chen Jianchen chuckled: "Of course, if you are willing, I will teach you when I am on vacation this year."
"really?"
Abao's eyes shone with joy and he was very excited.
Chen Jianchen said with a smile: "What's the point? Reading and literacy is a good thing... Well, Abao, it's my negligence. You are still young and just suitable for studying. Alas, it's a pity that our family is poor and we have no means.
, I can’t send you to Qingxue Academy.”
Hearing this, Abao waved his hands repeatedly: "Brother Liuxian, I am very satisfied that you and your godmother are willing to take me in. I have no other thoughts... I want to study, just to know some words..."
As he spoke, the circles under his eyes turned red.
Chen Jianchen quickly stood up and comforted: "There is no problem at all. After I have a more systematic time during the holiday, I will teach you. Haha, isn't it natural for an elder brother to teach his younger sister?"
Abao burst into laughter and walked out.
Chen Jianchen sat down to study again. Not long after, Abao suddenly walked in again, with a strange look on his face, and said: "Brother Liuxian, there is a girl outside looking for you!"
girl?
Chen Jianchen was quite surprised. He stood up and walked out, only to find it was Nie Xiaoqian's personal maid.
When the maid saw him, she bowed respectfully and said, "Mr. Chen, my lady has asked me to deliver a letter."
As he said this, he took out a letter from his body.
Chen Jianchen took it, but before he could say anything, the maid bowed again: "The letter has been delivered. I'm leaving." He opened an umbrella and walked back into the rain.
Back in the study, Chen Jianchen opened the letter and read it.
This letter is not long, only about a hundred words. The font is neat and graceful, very elegant: "Master Huijian, last night, Xiaoqian reported the Wu family to the king truthfully. No one else, but I just want to have peace of mind.
, I can't bear to be deceived by others, and let the king's talent fall into the ditch; however, the Wu family is jealous and has a small ear, so the young master should be on guard; therefore, running at night, or what Xiaoqian did to Meng Lang, is disrespectful.
The young master is very transparent, so I will certainly not blame you. Also, Xiaoqian likes the pen and ink you sent me, and I am deeply grateful..."
After reading the letter, Chen Jianchen's mind immediately jumped to the figure of Nie Xiaoqian. It is undeniable that Chen Jianchen has a lot of affection for her.
Nie Xiaoqian has a lively and cheerful personality, has a discerning eye, a clear mind, and a sense of justice. As for her background and appearance, she can't say anything about it. She made a blunt report and exposed Wu Wencai's tricks in front of her father; she also told Chen Jianchen to be careful and beware of Wu Wencai.
Inflicting harm, etc., all show extraordinary wisdom.
She is both generous in physical awareness and possessing martial arts. She is truly a strange woman. To sum it up, she can be summed up in eight words: "Dare to love and dare to hate, with unparalleled charm and wisdom!"
Chen Jianchen suddenly remembered that in the original work or on the screen, the image of Nie Xiaoqian was that of a woman who dared to actively pursue happiness. She had extraordinary courage, like a moth flying into a flame, and she would break through the shackles imposed on her regardless of her own safety.
, instead of waiting for purdah, the most they can do is dream about the appearance of their future husband. During this period, they will inevitably feel sad and cry a lot. In the end, they have to be sent to the bridal chamber in a daze.
Waiting eagerly for some unknown man to lift his head.
That man might be a balding old man with a big belly, or he might be a sickly nerd...
Today's Xiaoqian clearly doesn't want to be like that, like a puppet at the mercy of others, unable to control her comings and goings. However, the way she behaves is, in the eyes of ordinary people, shocking and even defined as "unruly women."
——In the Tiantong Dynasty, the so-called "women's way" is the typical "obey the father at home, obey the husband when married, and obey the son after the husband dies." Even if you can go to the academy to study, it is just arty and show off.
Thinking of it far away, Chen Jianchen became alarmed and couldn't help but raise a question: Could it be that Nie Xiaoqian would also suffer some hardships in the future and become that gloomy and ethereal female ghost?
But things seem a little irrelevant...
puff!
A soft sound interrupted Chen Jianchen's contemplation. It turned out that the rat demon Xiaoyi was back, and he came back quite quickly.
"Let me tell you, Master, after Xiaoyi's investigation and observation, there is currently only one place where traces of Taoist monks have been found in Jiangzhou City, and that is the Chaotian Temple in the east of the city."
The rat demon said.
Chen Jianchen asked: "Where is Chaotian Temple?"
The rat demon continued: "The Taoist temple is not large in scale, but the incense is very prosperous. It is said that the abbot inside calls himself Zhang Tianshi. He is from Longhu Mountain and has very good Taoism. He is a monk, but he can work with officials in Jiangzhou.
We have very close contact with each other and are often the guests of dignitaries."
Chen Jianchen groaned, his heart moved, and he warned: "Xiaoyi, come with me, I want to go out and watch the sky."
The rat demon took the order, jumped into Chen Jianchen's pocket, and lay down obediently.
Chen Jianchen took an oil-paper umbrella, said something to Mo Sanniang, and walked out leisurely.
On rainy days, the number of people on the street obviously decreased significantly, and the stalls on both sides were much sparse. Due to poor repairs on the ground, there was water in many places.
Chen Jianchen had a clear purpose and went straight to the east of the city to find the Chaotian Temple.
After walking for about two sticks of incense, he came to the outside of Chaotian Temple. At first glance, it turned out that it was just a small Taoist temple. It was old-fashioned and must have been around for many years.
Chen Jianchen was about to walk over, but suddenly stopped, turned around quickly, and disappeared into a corner nearby - because at this moment, he saw a sedan being carried out from the side of the Taoist temple.
Chen Jianchen did not know whose family the sedan belonged to, but he recognized the person who was walking in front of the sedan to clear the way.
Prosperous wealth!
Wu Wencai's domestic servant.
In this case, the person in the sedan must be Wu Wencai.
The autumn rain was falling, it was a perfect time to go to a brothel to drink wine and listen to music. How could Mr. Wu be in such a mood to come to a Taoist temple?
It can't be for burning incense and worshiping gods.
There must be something fishy about this matter...
Chen Jianchen pondered for a moment, then immediately ordered: "Xiaoyi, try your best to get into the sedan and see what news you can find out."
"yes!"
The rat demon was very agile and rushed over quickly. With its level of cultivation, it was easy for it to sneak into Wu Wencai's sedan quietly.
Who cares about watching out for a little mouse?
