Chapter 278 Free Meal
"Is he scared?"
The lecturer next to him said.
Qin Chi looked up at him and picked up his bowl and chopsticks again, "I don't think so."
"Nonsense, I'm sure you saw Mao Shaojie was scared just now. He dares to be arrogant in front of you, but he doesn't dare to put on airs in front of the dean." The scholar said firmly.
Wen Shidu laughed and said, "It's normal for him to be afraid. Dean Yan is always with the emperor. If he says something bad to him in front of the emperor, he will be finished!"
This statement is somewhat gloating.
The others followed suit.
Most of them are stepping on Mao Shaojie.
Qin Chi picked up a boiled vegetable and put it into his mouth politely. After chewing it slowly, he listened quietly to the discussion. Suddenly, he said calmly, "Mao Shidu is just making things difficult for me. It's not a big deal. I am indeed inexperienced. It's normal for him to be dissatisfied with this position. Dean Yan will not expel people from the Hanlin Academy."
"He caused quite a bit of trouble. Just the act of disrespecting his superiors was enough to get him fired."
Someone suddenly spoke in the corner.
Qin Chi glanced in that direction.
Lu Bozhou blinked at him.
Qin Chi just wanted to say that this guy had just entered the Hanlin Academy, but he dared to speak at this time.
The officials below were also very enthusiastic.
What did Mao Shaojie's mistake have to do with them? But if he lost his job, the position of tutor would be vacant.
Those who have the potential for promotion are secretly trying to stir up trouble.
The crime of contempt of superiors refers to the act of insulting or abusing a superior official, and is clearly defined as a crime in the law.
Specifically, according to the Daxia Code, if an official commits this crime, he will be subject to severe legal sanctions. Depending on the severity of the case, the punishment may include imprisonment, imprisonment, or even exile.
All the people here are officials from the Hanlin Academy.
Who is not familiar with Daxia's laws? Just knowing is one thing, and applying it is another.
No matter what other people think.
However, Mao Shaojie went to see Dean Yan. When he came out, his face was ashen and his forehead was covered with sweat. Then he sat down at his desk, pursed his lips and said nothing.
An afternoon passed.
The Hanlin Academy was rarely quiet for half a day.
Qin Chi finally didn't have to work overtime and could leave the office as soon as the time came.
When he went out, there were two more people around him, Lu Yanji and Lu Bozhou.
Qin Chi invited: "Come to my house for dinner?"
"Really? Then we won't be polite."
Lu Bozhou immediately agreed happily, almost crying with joy, "Brother Qi'an, you don't know that Brother Yanji and I live together, and both of us grown men can't cook. We either go out to eat or eat hard-to-swallow food that is not as delicious as the lunch at the Hanlin Academy. It's really terrible..."
They can't stand eating out every day.
Not only their stomachs, but also their pockets.
Lu Yanji's family was slightly better off than Lu Bozhou's, but he had no choice but to agree on food, "Let's be thick-skinned and go to Qi'an's for a meal today."
"Come to my house for dinner when you have time."
Qin Chi said with a smile.
Outside the Hanlin Academy, Qin Bayi, dressed as a servant, walked out from the side.
Qin Ba was not the only servant guarding outside.
The four of them walked towards Cuihua Hutong together.
Just as I reached the entrance of the alley, I ran into a carriage parked at the door of a house. A man in student uniform got out of the carriage.
When Qin Ba saw this, he quickly lowered his head.
He walked up to Qin Chi and whispered in his ear, "Sir, the person getting off the carriage is Liu Ji."
When Qin Chi looked over.
Just then I saw Liu Ji striding into the door.
There are two words "Liu's House" on the plaque on the door.
After just a glance, Qin Chi naturally withdrew his gaze, as if he was just a passerby taking a casual look. Not only Qin Chi, but also Lu Yanji and Lu Bozhou looked over there.
However, no one said anything.
After walking for a while, we arrived at Qin's house.
The door was open. Old man Hong was sitting on a stone pier nearby. When he saw Qin Chi coming back, he stood up to greet him.
When guests come over, the kitchen will naturally prepare more dishes.
Qin Chi asked someone to make tea and send it to the study.
There are no outsiders in private.
Qin Chi waited for the tea to come, and asked the two to drink some tea slowly, then he said: "Bai Zhou took a risk by speaking out today. I am worried that Mao Shaojie will cause trouble for you after knowing it."
"Don't be afraid. I guess he won't be so arrogant for long."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Lu Bozhou said with certainty.
Lu Yanji, who was standing by, also noticed it and asked, "Are you so sure that someone will pull him down?"
"That's for sure. It was Mao Shaojie who didn't see it clearly. He kept staring at Brother Qi'an's position, but he didn't know that there were more people staring at his position below." Lu Baizhou was not exaggerating.
The Hanlin Academy has the most compilers and editors.
There are many people who were the top three in the imperial examinations. Is it because they are not qualified enough?
Enough!
But how can I get promoted if no one is vacating the position?
Either leave the Hanlin Academy and find another way out; or bring down the person in front of you and vacate the position.
Qin Chi said helplessly: "This is your speculation. Mao Shaojie has the support of Yuan Shangshu behind him. Not everyone has the courage to touch him."
"Well, wait and see."
Lu Bozhou firmly believed that someone would take action. "If I hadn't just entered the Imperial Academy and it wasn't my turn to take the position, I would have stabbed him in the back immediately."
Lu Yanji and Qin Chi were stunned for a moment.
Then they all looked at Lu Bozhou.
Lu Bozhou was speaking with great excitement, and when he saw the two of them looking at him, he immediately grinned.
Come on, I'm just a greenhorn.
The three chatted for a while and the meal was ready.
After eating and drinking, before dark, Qin Ba acted as a coachman to take the two men home.
Qin Chi also learned from Old Li that Song Jin went out today and took a walk around the market outside Fengning Hutong.
The sweet-scented osmanthus wine for the guests tonight was bought by Song Jin? Qin Chi didn't know what to say for a moment.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and his wife does not seem to have this awareness. Perhaps it is due to different personal experiences and upbringing. The seemingly gentle and virtuous wife is actually independent and strong. Even after getting married, she has never thought of relying on him completely.
This made Qin Chi feel complicated.
Song Jin came over with a bowl of cool Tremella soup and happened to see Qin Chi looking over. When their eyes met, she noticed that his eyes were different, so she asked, "What's wrong, husband? Did something happen?"
Pass the Tremella soup to Qin Chi.
Qin Chi took it and put it on the table, then took her hand and gently shook it, "I heard you went out today?"
"Yes, I went to the medicine store and then went shopping in the market."
When Song Jin heard him ask this, he knew what he meant. "I ran into Young Master Yang on the way, and he ate my bowl of plain noodles and half a pound of roasted lamb. I didn't know the Yang family was that poor."
Most stingy people are short of money.
It's very strange for a young master to be so stingy.
People say that Lord Yang is an honest official.
Just listen to this, Song Jin doesn't believe a word of it.
