Chapter 197: Number One Scholar



After dinner, the family went straight back to their house.

At night, Chen Chen said to He Jinshu while lying in bed, "Ah Shu, your former classmate is really annoying. Go find out his address tomorrow. I'm going to teach him a lesson."

He actually dared to pick a fight with them. He must make him taste his power.

"Yeah." He Jinshu hugged him sideways, put one leg on him, and stroked his arm with one hand, answering absentmindedly.

After saying that, he added, "Let's not talk about him anymore. It's time for us to get down to business." I haven't done it for a long time and I miss it so much.

After saying that, he didn't wait for Chen Zhen to answer, he turned over and lowered his head to kiss her.

The next night, Chen Chen took He Jinshu and his two sons to where Liu Yueda lived.

This man was already married, and his wife and children stayed in Cangzhou. But as far as Chen Chen knew, after coming to the capital, he had not been idle either. He was simply a complete scumbag.

When they arrived at the yard where Liu Yueda lived, they heard indescribable noises before they even got close. Seeing this, Chen Zhen did not let He Jinshu and his two sons out to avoid polluting their eyes.

After finishing the work, Chen Chen quietly returned home. When he got home, He Sixuan said dissatisfiedly: "Dad, didn't you say you would take me to fight?"

"Today is not the right occasion. I'll take you there another day." Chen Chen explained to him.

He Sixuan was still dissatisfied after hearing this, so He Siyi advised him, "Brother, it's time to go to bed." He was sleepy.

"Okay then." He Sixuan said reluctantly. Although he was reluctant, he still followed He Siyi.

After watching the two children fall asleep, Chen Chen and He Jinshu also returned to their room.

After arriving at the room, He Jinshu pressed the man against the door and asked in a bad tone, "Did you look at that person's body?"

"No." Chen Chen quickly denied, "It was so dark, how could I see clearly? Besides, I wrapped them in sheets when I took them out, and only opened them when I got outside."

He Jinshu was obviously still very dissatisfied with this explanation, so he ordered him: "If you do something like this again in the future, you are not allowed to do it, and you are not allowed to look at other people's bodies."

Upon hearing this, Chen Chen hugged He Jinshu's waist and said with a smile: "I know, Ah Shu, other people's figures are not as good as yours, so I don't bother to look at them."

He Jinshu nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, then lifted up Chen Zhen's hips, carried her to the bed, and leaned over to press on her.

The deep friendship fills the room with lingering affection.

The next day, a joke was circulating among the people. A scholar and his lover were so passionate about each other that they actually did that thing in the yard. After that, they even slept in the yard. When they were discovered by the servants the next day, the scene was really indescribable.

After listening to the report from the servants, Chen Zhen and the others no longer paid attention to the matter, but stayed at home to prepare for He Jinshu's next exam.

The imperial examination will last for three days. The weather in the north is much colder than in the south, so Chen Zhen has to prepare some thick clothes for him.

However, generally thick clothes could not be brought in to prevent cheating, so Chen Chen prepared a wool blanket and a slim sweater for He Jinshu.

These were all made by Chen Zhen using the methods taught by him, and were made by Grandma He for He Jinshu. However, Chen Zhen has not yet started promoting these things. After He Jinshu finishes his exams and prepares to settle down in the north, he will start preparing to promote them. After all, these things are not needed in the south, and they will sell better in the north.

Apart from preparing food, you also need to follow the previous standards if you have experience with previous exams.

A few days later, it was the day for He Jinshu, Li Yu and others to take the exam. After sending them to the examination room, Chen Zhen took his two sons back home for a nap, and then after breakfast, he took them out to play.

These days, He Sixuan asked Wenfeng to buy him a fighting cock, and also learned from Wenfeng how to improve the fighting power of the chicken. So one day, he asked Chen Zhen to take him to the Colosseum, and he wanted to compete with others in cockfighting.

Since Chen Zhen had nothing to do, he took people to the Colosseum.

However, the result of the competition was quite tragic. He Sixuan's chicken was pecked by other chickens and the feathers on its neck were almost all gone.

He Sixuan hugged his wilted little rooster and said to Chen Chen with a sad face, "Dad, my rooster is in such a miserable state."

Although Chen Zhen wanted to laugh, he held it back and just consoled her: "It's okay, you just started training not long ago, right? You should be fine after you train more."

He Sixuan was still unhappy after hearing this, and Chen Chen continued to coax her, "Go back and ask Wenfeng to buy you another one. You can train the two together, which will not only improve their combat effectiveness, but also help you find their shortcomings and improve them.

He Sixuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he said happily: "Then Dad, let's buy one directly at the Colosseum?"

"Okay, then go pick one." Chen Chen nodded when he heard that.

Finally, he spent five taels of silver to buy a big, strong rooster. As he paid, Chen Zhen couldn't help but think to himself: This chicken is too profitable, isn't it? It's many times more expensive than the chickens he raised.

After buying what He Sixuan wanted, Chen Chen asked He Siyi, "Siyi, do you want to buy anything?"

"Yes, Dad, can you buy me some wooden boards?" He Siyi said.

"You want to make something yourself?" Chen Chen asked.

"Yeah." He Siyi nodded his head.

"You're still too young. What if you hurt your hand? Can we wait until you're a little older before doing it?"

"It's okay, Dad. I only make small things. They won't be too difficult."

Seeing his son said so, Chen Zhen had no choice but to fulfill his wish. He then took his people to the carpenter's shop, bought some wood and some carpentry tools, and then took them home for dinner.

Three days later, He Jinshu came out of the examination room and Chen Chen took him home.

Half a month later, the results were announced, and He Jinshu won the first place. A month later, in the palace examination, He Jinshu won the top spot as expected, and Li Yu and others ranked fourth, eighth, and ninth respectively.

On the day the results were announced, the streets of the capital were packed with people because the top three students were going to parade in celebration.

Chen Chen stood on the second floor of a restaurant near the street, watching He Jinshu riding a tall horse, with a big red flower on his chest and a black hat on his head, walking towards them.

Seeing this, Chen Chen said to his two sons, "Your father is here. You can abandon him later."

Secretary He Jin was handsome and elegant, so people would inevitably throw purses, hydrangeas, handkerchiefs and the like at his doorstep, but he turned a blind eye to these things. Even if some of them fell on him, he would throw them away inadvertently.

However, when he walked to where Chen Zhen and the others were, He Jinshu looked up at them, his eyes full of tender affection and a smile on his lips.
