Chapter 191: Takami
"Like this."
Chu Jinzhou, who was still hoping that Chu Jinnian could stay at home for a few more days, had a slightly dimmed bright light in his eyes, but it soon returned to normal.
"Brother, this journey will be very tiring. If we set off tomorrow evening, I'm afraid we will have to ride very fast and will be too tired on the road. Why not set off tomorrow morning?"
In this way, he doesn't have to be too tired on the road because of being in a hurry, and he doesn't have to worry all the time.
As for accompanying him, Chu Jinzhou felt that spending an extra day or two would be of no use. It would be better to wait until he grew up and could work with his older brother, so that they could be together more often and take care of each other.
Besides, Mr. Fan is also here.
After hearing this, Chu Jinnian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows again and again.
"Then I don't understand. Are you urging me to leave early because you are worried that I will be too tired on the way, or are you afraid that my presence will prevent you and Mr. Fan from sneaking out to play together?"
"Brother."
Chu Jinzhou stamped his feet and said, "I was worried about Big Brother with good intentions, but Big Brother has given me so many thoughts. It seems that I have to ignore Big Brother from now on, is that enough?"
"That's right, what you said is really hurtful."
Fan Wenxuan also echoed from the side, fully regaining his face for having acted like a little mouse in front of Chu Jinnian last night.
Chu Jinnian glanced at Fan Wenxuan, then patted Chu Jinzhou's head with a laugh and said, "Brother, you misunderstood me. I know you are worried about me. If that's the case, then I will listen to you."
"I'll rush to Shouchun as soon as possible and finish the things there. I'll see if I can spare two more days. Then I can take you to live in the mountains for two days."
"I heard that there is a spring in Cuiwei Mountain over there. It is clear and sweet, very famous, and the scenery is beautiful and beautiful. It is worth seeing. In a month or so, the weather will be very hot, so it is a good time to go into the mountains to avoid the heat."
"This is a good idea." Fan Wenxuan's eyes also lit up.
This great scholar of literature, in addition to his daily love of eating, drinking, and farming, was also well-known for a hobby, which was climbing mountains and looking into the distance.
Chu Jinnian's proposal to go to Cuiwei Mountain was exactly what Fan Wenxuan wanted.
Chu Jinzhou, who had been staying in Qingzhu Garden for a long time and rarely went out, was also very interested in this proposal and nodded excitedly: "Okay, it's a deal."
"It's a deal." Chu Jinnian picked up another thin piece of ham for Chu Jinzhou.
The ham from Jinhua is fresh, fragrant and delicious. At this time, it is tinged with the fragrance of celery and the rich and mellow flavor of dried tofu, and tastes really good.
"My Lord, please allow me to say a few words. Are you going to stay in the mountains to please the Third Lord or to please me?"
After dinner, after assigning homework to Chu Jinzhou, Fan Wenxuan found a free time and slipped into Chu Jinnian's study, sitting lazily on the chair opposite Chu Jinnian.
In a wide-mouthed blue and white porcelain vase nearby, there were a few emerald green lotus leaves and a few lotus flowers.
The lotus buds are about to bloom, and the petals are stained with water droplets, which looks very beautiful.
Fan Wenxuan reached out and fiddled with the petals, pulling the corners of his lips: "The lotus grows out of the mud but remains unstained. The mud not only sets off the lotus, but also covers the root of the lotus. This is very consistent with the eldest master's temperament. I can't guess what the eldest master's trump card is."
After saying that, Fan Wenxuan smiled and went to look at Chu Jinnian.
Chu Jinnian put down the pen in his hand and looked at Fan Wenxuan.
Different from Fan Wenxuan's playful gaze, Chu Jinnian's gaze was as cold as a sword, which made people shudder. Fan Wenxuan, who was originally slumped, couldn't help but straighten up.
"The eldest master is always like this, which is not good..."
"If you know my character, there's no need to ask these meaningless questions."
Chu Jinnian said, "I haven't finished dealing with your affairs in the capital. If you want to please someone, you should be making me happy now."
Being hit on a sore spot at once, Fan Wenxuan touched his nose awkwardly.
Chu Jinnian was right. Considering the circumstances, he should have tried to make Chu Jinnian happy.
He is a casual person by nature, so he does many things as he pleases without being too particular. He often spends a lot of money or behaves in a shocking way just because of his personal preference.
For example, before, Fan Wenxuan saw a painting in the capital, but he couldn't get it. In the end, it was only after much persuasion that the owner was willing to give it up with reluctance.
But just when he had collected enough silver to take the painting, the other party sold it to someone else on the grounds that someone else could offer a higher price. Seeing that the thing he had worked so hard to obtain went into someone else's pocket, Fan Wenxuan was naturally very dissatisfied and simply went to find the buyer to argue.
Because of a disagreement, Fan Wenxuan was pushed by the buyer's servant. He was furious and, without caring about his status as a great literary scholar, he just started fighting with the man.
As luck would have it, I don’t know whether to say that the man was unlucky or that Fan Wenxuan was unlucky, the other person’s head hit the carriage and he was unconscious for a long time before waking up.
Although Fan Wenxuan did not do it on purpose, it is a foregone conclusion that they fought in public and caused the other party to be injured. Logically, both parties had their reasons for this, and Fan Wenxuan should have paid some medical expenses, but the other party refused to give in and even used all his connections to put Fan Wenxuan to death.
Fan Wenxuan behaved in an eccentric manner and usually claimed to be noble, which made him disliked by many dignitaries. At this juncture, no one was willing to wade into this muddy water to stand up for him.
Only Chu Jinnian was not afraid of trouble and took on the matter. The condition for the exchange was that Fan Wenxuan would come to Qingzhu Garden to teach Chu Jinzhou.
Fan Wenxuan, who was overwhelmed by this matter, agreed very readily and set off here the next day.
So speaking of this matter, Chu Jinnian has done a great favor to Fan Wenxuan, so there is naturally no reason for him to try to please him deliberately.
In the final analysis, it was just to make Chu Jinzhou happy. He was willing to go to Cuiwei Mountain. It was probably because he was happy and Chu Jinzhou would be very happy that Chu Jinnian was willing to spend the effort.
Chu Jinnian truly deserves the title of a brother-doting madman.
"Ahem, let's not talk about this for now..."
Fan Wenxuan coughed twice and waved his hand to change the subject: "As for the matter of the eldest young master going to Shouchun this time, the eldest young master needs to be more careful."
"Oh?" Chu Jin raised his eyebrows: "I'd like to hear your opinion, sir."
"I can't say that my opinion is profound, but I did have many students in the early years. One of them was Xia Xiujie, the son of the former governor of Shouguang."
"Xia Xiujie and I have a very good relationship. We can talk about anything. He told me that his father died of illness while in office, and there were many suspicious points. He once suspected that someone had assassinated him, but because of the hot weather at the time, the body could not be transported back, so it could only be cremated on the spot and the ashes were transported back to his hometown. There was no evidence, so they had no way to investigate the matter, so they had to give up."
In the new month, the author will continue to work hard My little cuties, I hope everything goes smoothly~ (End of this chapter)
