Chapter 473 Something is wrong
This happened several times.
Chu Jinnian swung the whip in the air and said, "If you have something to say, just ask. If you hesitate, you will only make yourself and others depressed."
"We still have to doubt each other for a while and think about it. It's better to speak directly to avoid each other's wild imagination."
Chu Jinzhou's cheeks turned slightly red as his thoughts were suddenly touched. He bit his lip, and simply bent down to get out of the carriage, and sat at the front edge of the carriage with Chu Jinnian.
"Brother." Chu Jinzhou shook his legs. "I remember that you dislike cakes the most, especially lotus root powder and osmanthus cakes."
"They said that this cake is too sweet and makes people feel uncomfortable when eating it, but today, Big Brother said in front of Sister Ning that he likes to eat lotus root powder and osmanthus cake?"
"Brother, do you think that if you say you don't like it, it will reject Sister Ning's good intentions, because Sister Ning sent you lotus root starch and osmanthus cake with good intentions, so you said something against your will?"
"So, brother, you said this to save Sister Ning's face and make her happy? In fact, brother, you don't have to be so troublesome. Although Sister Ning is a woman, she has never been stingy and will not be unhappy because of these trivial matters..."
"Well..." Chu Jinnian touched his nose, "Not really."
"Oh? Why is that?" Chu Jinzhou was suddenly extremely surprised.
"I really love lotus root powder and osmanthus cake." Chu Jinnian answered very seriously.
Chu Jinzhou widened his eyes and spoke after a while, "But big brother used to..."
"I love to eat it now." Chu Jinnian smiled.
Chu Jinzhou lowered his head and thought for a long time. "Master said that a person's temperament, character, appearance and body shape will change with the passage of time. I guess it is the same for my elder brother?"
That must be the case, just like when he was staying in Qingzhu Garden before, although it was quiet, he didn't feel very happy at all. Now he has Mr. Fan, Sister Ning, Zhuang Qingsui and Zhuang Mingli, and he is very happy every day.
Chu Jinnian didn’t like lotus root powder and osmanthus cake before, but it’s normal for him to like it now.
Chu Jinzhou figured this out, so he stopped worrying about Chu Jinnian and the lotus root powder and osmanthus cake. He just reached into the carriage, dragged the food box to his side, and rubbed his stomach. "I've been in class all day, and I'm really hungry. I guess Sister Ning made this cake recently. I'll eat two pieces while it's hot to fill my stomach."
As he spoke, Chu Jinzhou reached out to open the food box.
"Pah"
As soon as Chu Jinzhou opened the lid of the food box, Chu Jinnian closed it in an instant.
Chu Jinnian was startled. He looked at Chu Jinnian's hand pressing on the food box. It took him a while to come back to his senses. He looked at Chu Jinnian in surprise, "Brother?"
"We will arrive at Qingzhu Garden soon. The carriage will be bumpy on the road, so it will be hard to eat. It is better to be patient and eat in the garden."
Chu Jinnian looked straight ahead and said, "I remember that you love crystal shrimp dumplings very much. Ask the kitchen to make some tonight. You are still young and need to eat some meals. Desserts are too sweet and greasy. Children should not eat them often."
"Oh, okay." Chu Jinzhou nodded a little confused.
Seeing Chu Jinnian pushing the food box back, Chu Jinzhou scratched the back of his head.
Why did he feel that something was wrong with his elder brother today? The two brothers went all the way to Qingzhu Garden.
There was already someone waiting at the door to greet us, but besides Ning Feng who was there as usual, there was another person.
"Young Master." Fan Wenxuan came up with a gloomy face, fists clenched, indignant, "Young Master, you are going too far. Teaching students is my duty, but you want to snatch it away. What's the reason?"
What if they found out that Chu Jinnian's lectures were better than his? Even if he gave lectures again in the future, Zhuang Qingsui and Zhuang Mingli were in Cao's camp but their hearts were with Han. What should they do? It was really hard for Fan Wenxuan to accept that his students had other teachers in their hearts and only gave him a little space.
In particular, for Chu Jinnian, giving lectures is probably secondary. The most important thing is to eat and mingle, and to make himself familiar with Zhuang Qingning. He must have some ulterior motives.
When Fan Wenxuan thought of this, he became so angry that his goatee almost stood up.
"It seems to be getting colder and colder." Chu Jinnian looked up at the setting sun and the darkening sky. "I remember that every winter month, this Puti Temple would hold a ritual, with Abbot Yinian chanting sutras and praying for blessings."
"Abbot Yi Nian is a highly accomplished monk. In addition to his profound understanding of Buddhist principles, what is even more remarkable is his excellent painting skills. Because Abbot Yi Nian is very frugal with his brush, outsiders cannot obtain his works."
"Young Master, I'm just talking to you about this matter, why are you talking about all this nonsense..." Seeing that Chu Jinnian did not answer his question directly but was talking nonsense instead, Fan Wenxuan became more and more angry and started yelling, pointing at Chu Jinnian.
"But this year, it's really unfortunate because I helped Abbot Yi Nian before, and as a token of gratitude, Abbot Yi Nian is willing to give me a handwritten poem."
Chu Jinnian glanced at Fan Wenxuan and said, "I think it will be ready soon."
Words written by Abbot Yi Nian himself?
Fan Wenxuan hurriedly stroked his beard several times to make it smoother so as not to look unruly.
"Hehehe, Young Master, this word is not a big deal. The main thing is that you are really thoughtful and considerate.
Fan Wenxuan smiled and said, "Take the present moment for example. I have not been feeling well these past few days and cannot go to teach those two students. The eldest master has gone to teach those two students without any complaints and has not taken any responsibility for my past mistakes. I admire you so much!"
As Fan Wenxuan spoke, he bowed to Chu Jinnian and gave him a thumbs up.
Ning Feng and Ban Qing on the side looked at each other, and finally covered their eyes with their hands.
The words made people blush and even feel a little disgusted, but the most important thing was the smile on his face. He was as servile and fawning as he could be.
Compared with the former naughty and arrogant Fan Wenxuan, he is completely different.
Now it’s really... unbearable to watch!
Ning Feng, in particular, had accidentally seen Fan Wenxuan when he was very serious, so when he looked at him again, he felt particularly complicated.
What on earth could allow Fan Wenxuan to have so many faces?
"It's great that Mr. Fan can understand." Chu Jinnian smiled and responded politely, "I remember that Mr. Fan loved collecting all kinds of calligraphy and paintings. It happens that I don't like this. Thinking of the abbot's calligraphy, I will borrow flowers to offer to Buddha and give it to Mr. Fan."
"Thank you very much for giving up your love, young master." Fan Wenxuan responded with a smile on his face.
