The Bookish Scholar of the Red Mansion

At the end of the dinner, at Chen Heng's request, I only had one Yangzhou fried rice to deal with it. The Yangzhou fried rice at this time did not have the fancy condiments that Chen Heng remembered.

Instead of calling it Yangzhou fried rice, Chen Heng thought it was closer to egg fried rice. In fact, this dish has been popular among the people in Yangzhou since the end of the previous dynasty. Because it is simple to make and has oily smoke, it is very popular among the people.

After dinner, Chen Heng drove Daiyu out of the room. It was getting late and it was not good for a little girl like her to stay here too long.

Lying back on the bed peacefully, Chen Heng raised his fist above his head and smiled unconsciously on his face. Fortunately, his hard work was not in vain.

Just thinking about going back to the academy tomorrow, he couldn't help but grimace, and he didn't know what punishment he would get if he went back this time. With Xue Biao interceding on his behalf, he probably wouldn't be kicked out of the academy.

Chen Heng was somewhat nervous, but if he thought about it carefully, it was just a matter of striking out. I simply hugged the quilt and fell asleep, feeling that if something happened tomorrow I would worry about it tomorrow, so I had a good sleep tonight and didn't know how to live or die.

Anyway, he made up his mind that if he really wanted to be kicked out by the academy, he would hold Uncle Lin's lap and cry a few times, trying to move all their books back to Shanxi Village.

After a comfortable night, Chen Heng woke up from bed when the sun was shining brightly the next morning. His mouth was dry. As soon as he got out of bed and went to the bedside to pick up the teapot, the servant's voice came from outside.

Master, are you awake?

Master? Did you call me? Chen Heng's body trembled, and he felt that he couldn't bear it anymore. He quickly said to the people outside: No, no, no, no, please call me Xiaolang.

The servant opened the door with a smile and came in without arguing. He first asked Chen Heng if he wanted to wash up first or eat first.

When Chen Heng heard that he could take a shower first, he immediately chose this option. He was really smelly. The servant promised with a smile and left quickly, and soon three or five people came in carrying a bathtub.

Chen Heng saw that there was still heat coming out from above, and there was still room to wait there. He simply waved away their desire to rub their backs, stripped off his clothes and jumped into the bathtub.

This time, Chen Heng was relieved. Of course there is a place for bathing in the academy, but you have to prepare hot water yourself. However, the bathhouses in the academy are small and crowded, so most people would rather spend more than ten pennies to take a bath in a bathhouse on the street.

Yes, there is also a bathhouse in Yangzhou. The name is not surprising. It is called Jiangnan Bathhouse. It is half a street away from the academy and is very popular among the teachers and students of the academy.

The most domineering name among the bathhouses is the bathhouse in Tongzhou, which is called Tengwang Pavilion Bathhouse. When Chen Heng read it in Xue Biao's idle book, he also felt that it was outrageous.

After taking a quick shower, Chen Heng soon discovered an embarrassing thing. He didn't bring any clothes.

Master, my wife has ordered me to bring your clothes. Can I bring them in to you now?

Have you been waiting for this moment at the door? Chen Heng coughed and had no choice but to accept his fate and said: Work hard, work hard.

After the servant put away his clothes and left, Chen Heng hurriedly left the bathtub and put his clothes on without any hesitation.

I wouldn’t know it if I didn’t wear it, but I would be shocked when I wear it. Chen Heng looked at himself in green clothes and jade belt in the mirror, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Aunt Lin is really good at judging people. When she makes money in the future, she must buy clothes like this. Chen Heng smiled, put his hair into a simple bun, put the jade hair crown specially prepared by the other party on his head, and passed a white tooth hairpin through the gap in the middle of the crown.

After finishing dressing, Chen Heng stepped on his boots and walked out of the room. The previous servant was still waiting at the door, and when he came out, he led him to the front hall.

Walking all the way to the place where they had eaten, Jia, who had received the news in advance, took Daiyu and said to Chen Hengfu who walked in, Heng'er, Jue'er's matter is really troublesome. Auntie, I really don't know how to thank you. …”

Chen Heng dared to accept the gift from their mother and daughter, so he hurriedly hid to one side, not daring to take credit: Aunt, you don't have to be like this. Speaking of this, it was a coincidence. I just happened to hear from a classmate that his master is a A man with superb medical skills.”

Lin Ruhai, who was reading at the side, put down the book and stood up, but his eyes glanced up and down at Chen Heng on the other side, and said with a smile: So you will drag the Xin family man together overnight and run back and forth from Yangzhou to Gusu in ten days?

Chen Heng smiled sheepishly and could only say: This is the first time I have done such an outrageous thing. Speaking of which, my nephew has something to ask for. Over at the academy, can I ask my uncle to come forward and help me accommodate him a little.

You know you're afraid now? Lin Ruhai blinked at him, pretending to be helpless, I'm afraid it's not easy for me to show up. When Commander Xin rushed to your academy with a sword, he was chased by your mountain leader with a ruler. Half a street.”

Is this happening??? Chen Heng was also a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect that his mountain chief was so fierce and dared to hit a general with a ruler.

That's right. Lin Ruhai tried her best to hold back her laughter.

Daiyu finally couldn't stand it anymore and explained hurriedly: Dad!! You told mother earlier, but Uncle Xin wanted to punch Mei Xuezheng, so he was beaten by the mountain chief.

Ha ha ha ha

Seeing that Lin Ruhai finally couldn't hold back her laughter, Jia quickly came forward to greet Chen Heng, Heng'er, don't listen to your uncle's nonsense. You don't have to worry about the things at the academy, your uncle will help you. You're hungry. Well, what do you want to eat? Tell your aunt and she will order someone to cook it for you.

After Chen Heng said this several times, the matron of the house, who was still looking tired but already radiant, gave up her enthusiasm and ordered people to start preparing lunch.

Lin Ruhai picked up the book she had just read halfway through. Daiyu glanced at her parents, came to Chen Heng's side, and whispered, Brother, I knew you would look good in this suit.

Only then did Chen Heng react and said in surprise, Did you pick it?

Daiyu wrinkled her nose, Of course, my mother has been worrying about my brother's affairs recently, how can I trouble her with such a thing.

She was wearing a white dress today, with bangs combed in front of her forehead, her hair slightly coiled to one side, simply fixed with a gold hairband, and three to five braids hanging down her ears. White clothes and skirts are inherently attractive, but her skin is already three points better than snow. The white light from the window shines into the hall, making her complexion even more transparent.

Chen Heng couldn't help but take another look, then turned his head, only looking at the book in Lin Ruhai's hand, and asked quietly: What else is your father reading?

Unexpectedly, Daiyu said directly: I will borrow it tomorrow and send it to the academy for you.

...

Chen Heng was stunned for a moment, wondering if the Lin family was a little too enthusiastic.

…………

After lunch, Lin Ruhai got on the carriage and escorted Chen Heng back to the academy. Most of the conversation between the two of them was that Lin Ruhai was studying Chen Heng's homework. The latter also took the opportunity to share the questions he collected while reading Salt and Iron Theory.

The time was short, Lin Ruhai just gave a few words to talk about it, and before Chen Heng got out of the car, he told him to go directly to the Lin Mansion to find him the next time he took a rest.

Chen Heng kept this in mind, and with a little uneasiness in his heart, he stepped into the academy after being away for eleven days.

At noon, when everyone was resting, Chen Heng went directly back to the dormitory. When everyone in the room saw that he had returned safely, they all came up and surrounded him with smiles.

Okay, Brother Heng, you didn't even tell big brother about this. It seems that you have forgotten our friendship with Jinlan. Jiang Yuanbai walked around him and kept complaining, What a human being. The horse relies on the saddle, and if Brother Heng puts on these clothes, he will be no less generous than Brother Tadashi.

Don't talk nonsense. Brother Xue is like a handsome young man with a charming face. How can Yingying and I compare with him? Chen Heng raised his hand exaggeratedly, signaling Jiang Yuanbai to let him go.

Xue Biao raised his hand and placed it on Chen Heng's back from behind, Don't say weird things, how are you doing? Why did he come back yesterday, but you waited an extra day.

Chen Heng hurriedly told the story of how he slept in Lin's house for a day and a night, and then everyone understood how difficult Chen Heng's journey was. Qian Dayou said with lingering fear: I saw Su Zhao as if he was fine yesterday. I thought you were just going out for fun. I never thought you would work so hard.

Is the matter resolved?

Chen Heng nodded towards Xue Biao, showing a big smile, Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life. It is a good thing to go the extra mile. By the way, where is Brother Su Zhao?

He was punished by the mountain chief to weed in the courtyard. Jiang Yuanbai looked a little strange, and patted Chen Heng on the shoulder with distress, You should change your clothes quickly, I see you are being punished. , and there’s no way to escape it.”

Chen Heng had already expected this, but he said with regret, I'm just going to implicate Brother Su Zhao.

Hey, brother Su Zhao, why don't you call me brother Yuan Bai. Brother Heng, we are all classmates, you can't be partial.

Go away. Chen Heng smiled and pushed Jiang Yuanbai, took off his clothes directly, and prepared to go to the mountain chief to accept punishment.

I would like to ask if any book friends who have more time and are more rigorous can help me correct typos in my future writing. I think there are too many typos and the reading experience is always not good.

Students are given priority, don’t let your Chinese scores be too low! ! !
