After the exam turmoil, everyone is still doing what they should do.
Chen Jiu was followed by two waiters. The waiters were holding gifts in their hands to thank their mentor.
It has been a tradition since ancient times to thank your mentor. As long as you are in high school and are on the list, you must thank your mentor.
The so-called mentor is not an ordinary teacher who teaches and solves doubts, but the invigilator who admits you to the exam. This person is the teacher of all the students taking this exam.
The master's surname is Li, and people call him Master Li. He is a well-established teacher at Qingyang Academy. He is old-fashioned and stern.
The house is not very big, but in Qingzhou City, where land is at a premium, it is already a very good house.
Chen Jiu knocked gently, the door opened, and the concierge stretched out his face: "Who are you?".
Chen Jiu bowed: "I, Chen Jiu, come to thank my mentor."
"It turns out to be Mr. Chen, please come in quickly." The concierge seemed to have heard of Chen Jiu's name, so he opened the door and let Chen Jiu in.
Walking to the main hall, the porter said: "Master Chen, please take me with you for a moment. I'll go see the master."
The concierge walked out of the main hall and came to the backyard. Master Li was watering the flowers: "Master, Chen Jiu, Master Chen has come to thank his mentor."
Master Li put down the flower-watering tool in his hand, and then said: "It turns out he is here, I know it."
Without making Chen Jiu wait any longer, a burst of hearty laughter came: "Chen Jiu, why did you come so early? You actually came on the first day."
Without seeing anyone, the sound came.
Chen Jiu stood up quickly. When he saw Master Li walking in, Chen Jiu said: "Students don't know the twists and turns involved. However, for such a big thing as thanking the teacher, the sooner the better, so that it looks solemn."
Master Li nodded: "Sit down."
After both parties were done, a servant brought tea, and Chen Jiu said: "Is there any secret method here?"
Master Li took a sip of tea and said, "That's not true, but it usually happens after seven or eight days."
Chen Jiu suddenly realized that this should be an unspoken rule, but he didn't know it. Chao Xiaoyu had never been a teacher who invigilated exams and marked papers, so he probably didn't know the twists and turns involved.
Master Li stroked his beard: "Chen Jiu, you are the biggest dark horse in this exam. Many students have been preparing for this championship for a long time. They thought they were in the bag, but they didn't expect that you would win it in one fell swoop. ¡±.
Chen Jiudao: "It's still the result of Mr.'s care."
Master Li shook his head: "No, I have never been willing to bend the law for personal gain. This time, your quality is really far superior to everyone else. Otherwise, I would not take into account any human feelings. But Chen Jiu, you Well done¡±.
Chen Jiuyi smiled. No answer.
At this time, Master Li took out a wooden sign and handed it to Chen Jiu.
"This is it?" He took the wooden sign. I saw that the wooden sign was newly made, with Chen Jiu written on it and the official seal of Qingzhou Prefecture below.
The wooden sign is only about the size of a palm, and there is nothing special about it.
Master Li smiled softly: "This is the certificate for reporting on the general examination. This fall when you go to Beijing to take the examination, you must first go to Taixue to report with the wooden sign, and then we will discuss the examination."
Chen Jiu put away the wooden sign: "So, the students can set off to Beijing now?"
Master Li nodded and said, "Yes, most students usually start their journey in April now. They have to travel thousands of miles to go to Beijing. If they encounter any delays, they are afraid of missing the exam time, so they have to start early to feel the atmosphere of going to Beijing. , do some activities in advance and make friends with some scholars in Beijing.
"Thank you sir for your advice." Chen Jiu thanked him again.
"Hahaha, this is what we as ancestors should do, and it is our responsibility to promote the younger generations." The Master laughed.
Chen Jiu's thoughts changed: "Sir, if this is the case, then the student will resign and prepare early."
"Well, go ahead."
Chen Jiu's back gradually disappeared, and Master Li put down the tea: "This son has the appearance of a saint. In the future, he will definitely be the pillar of my literary school and the leader of my Qingzhou Prefecture. Naturally, I can't miss him if I can make friends with him."
The busy traffic and the endless crowds of people could not arouse Chen Jiu's interest at all: "Qingzhou, go to Beijing, it's time to set off and go outside. I have learned a lot, I am not the country bumpkin back then."
In the first floor, Chen Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly and sat on the top floor of the restaurant.
Not long after, the sound of footsteps came, Chao Xiaoyu, Shenxiu, Yu Youyu, Niu Ding, the old shopkeeper, Feiyan all came.
Everyone is sitting around this tableWe walked around, but unfortunately there was no food or wine on the table.
"I believe everyone is confused as to why I called everyone here." Chen Jiu opened his eyes and spoke slowly.
Looking at the confused eyes of everyone, Chen Jiu tapped his fingers on the table gently: "I will travel to Beijing soon."
Chen Jiu¡¯s words shocked everyone.
"You want to travel far away?" Chao Xiaoyu was stunned.
Yu Youyu looked even more bitter: "Boss, why did you leave so early?"
Chen Jiu shook his head: "I have traveled far and wide to gain more knowledge, and I will take the exam in Beijing in the fall."
The atmosphere was silent for a while, and Chen Jiu said: "Everything in this house will be left to the old shopkeeper. It's okay for the shopkeeper."
Hearing this, the old shopkeeper patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, boss, there will be no problem."
Chen Jiu nodded: "In Qingzhou Mansion, not only the lord of the state government owes me a favor, but also the general of the town government outside the city also owes me a favor, so if you need anything, just ask for help, don't be polite."
After the old shopkeeper sat down again, Chen Jiufang looked at the rest of the people: "Which of you wants to go with me?"
Yu Youyu smiled: "I, I, I am with you."
Chen Jiu rolled his eyes at Yu Youyu without saying a word.
Chao Xiaoyu looked at his white jade fingers: "I still want to teach, but it's not like you, just being a prodigal and doing whatever you want."
Chen Jiu looked disappointed, and then looked at the little monk Shenxiu.
The little monk sat there obediently: "But it depends on the master's arrangement."
Chen Jiu nodded: "Although your magic power is sealed now, you are not considered a great master. The safety of this restaurant is left to you."
"I will obey the master's decree." The young monk nodded.
Chen Jiu smiled softly: "In this restaurant, the world of six desires is chaotic. It is a good place for you to practice. You should take good care of it."
When this statement came out, everyone was surprised. Don¡¯t monks seek purity? .
Ignoring everyone's doubts, Chen Jiu looked at Yu Youyu: "You want to go to Beijing with me?".
"Exactly, exactly, please help me, boss."
Chen Jiudao: "What do you know?".
Yu Youyu smiled flatteringly: "I will do whatever the boss tells me."
Chen Jiu nodded, and Yu Youyu's expression changed instantly, showing a smile, but the next moment Yu Youyu became sad.
"It's not appropriate for you to go with me, you'd better stay here obediently."
"No, boss, if you don't agree with me to go, why are you nodding?" Yu Youyu looked like you were cheating on me.
Chen Jiu said: "I nodded because you are unreliable."
Ignoring Yu Youyu, Chen Jiu looked at Taoist Niuding: "Taoist".
"Hey, here you are."
"I'm going to Beijing. I don't know when I can return. People like you naturally have a lot of friends. Let's see if we can conquer a group of monks who are born with magical powers? We are all big guys. But when something happens, it can¡¯t just be us running errands, there needs to be some followers.¡±
Niu Ding touched his beard when he heard the words: "This is a great good thing, I will try my best to find it."
Chen Jiu nodded: "I believe you."
After giving all the instructions, Chen Jiu said: "Okay, that's basically it. Let's go back."
Everyone left, and Yu Youyou also turned around, and he was reluctant.
Chao Xiaoyu was still sitting there without moving.
"Hey, I can finally go out and have a look. I didn't expect that when it came to parting, I was still reluctant to leave. After all, this is the first place where I started my business." Chen Jiu stood up and leaned on the railing.
Chao Xiaoyu stood up and walked to Chen Jiu: "Do you still remember the jade pendant I gave you?".
Chen Jiu touched his chest: "Of course I remember."
"That's good, you have to remember that you must come back before the spring thunder rings in March next year, otherwise you may never see me again." After saying that, he walked away towards Xiaoyu, leaving a stunned look on his face. Chen Jiu. (To be continued)
