After Aqi posted a notice outside the door, no one came to visit him in the afternoon except Chen Xiuwen.

Chen Xiuwen sat in the yard first, and unknowingly finished the whole pot of tea, and before he could wait for Mr. Cheng Chengsi to wake up and greet him.

He walked back and forth in the yard twice, but never saw Aqi coming out again. The whole courtyard was extremely quiet. At this time, he was actually a little suspicious. Did Mr. Cheng deliberately leave him alone because he had lost face at the birthday party?

He was not angry. Thinking that this was a test, he calmed down and sat down again on the long bench, facing the already bare jujube tree in the yard, silently pondering the matter.

As the sun sets, the courtyard gradually becomes dark. Chen Xiuwen heard that there was finally movement in the back room again, so he immediately stood up and searched for it.

"Young Master, you have been waiting for a long time." Aqi said ashamedly, blushing.

Chen Xiuwen smiled and said, "Aqi, this doesn't matter. I want to know where to use the toilet in your house?"

Aqi hurriedly said, "Young Master, please follow me." He brought Chen Xiuwen to the vineyard ten steps behind the kitchen.

After a while, Chen Xiuwen felt relieved and came out and asked, "Sir, are you awake?"

Aqi said in embarrassment: "I woke up because I woke up, but the sir can't see the young master yet..."

Chen Xiuwen knew as soon as he heard this, it was really the old man who asked him to wait for a while. He glanced at the main house where the candlelight had already been lit, and thought to himself, OK, he won't leave today, and he won't go home without seeing the old man's face.

He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait."

After hearing this, Aqi leaned against him slightly and whispered: "It's so soon. The gentleman said that the young master is calm and honest, which is not very good, so let you wait a little longer."

Chen Xiuwen held his forehead and stayed honestly in the yard because of his politeness, which made the old man dislike him.

Chen Xiuwen knew that his personality was actually a relatively square person, so he was not upset. If Mr. Cheng looked down on him for this, he would not have any regrets.

Chen Xiuwen smiled and thanked Ah Qi, and then walked out after thinking about it.

Aqi suddenly became anxious and caught up with him and said, "Young Master, are you leaving?"

Chen Xiuwen waved his hand at him and said, "No, I'm talking to my family outside so that they won't be anxious to wait."

Aqi breathed a sigh of relief and grinned, "Young Master, let me tell you for your help!"

Chen Xiuwen smiled and said, "You don't know them either, I'll go back."

"Okay then." Aqi helped him open the yard gate and watched him walk diagonally across the street.

As soon as Chen Xiuwen left, Cheng Chengsi walked out of the main house with a scroll.

"Was that boy gone?" he asked angrily.

Aqi looked at his husband helplessly and reported, "No, Mr. Chen is going to say something to his family outside to avoid them worrying. Look, it's dark."

Cheng Chengsi listened and walked back to the room.

Aqi sighed secretly and thought to himself that his husband is kind to others. He just likes to mess with the people he likes like this. No wonder he has been choosing for more than ten years and has not yet joined his disciple. Mr. Chen is good at seeing his temper, and I don’t know if he can tolerate his husband’s fault.

He waited by the door for a while, and then he saw Chen Xiuwen coming back with a food box.

"Young Master, are you?" He came forward and said in confusion.

"Today I'm having dinner at my husband's house. I bring my own meals. Do you want to ask me if I can?" Chen Xiuwen said with a smile.

Aqi was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said, "Okay, young master, wait a moment, I'll ask you now."

Chen Xiuwen slowly walked to the main house, put down the food box, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked at the door with his lips slightly raised. He had a premonition that the old man would not ask him to wait again this time.

Sure enough, Aqi came out happily and said, "Young Master, please come in quickly, sir has already gotten up."

Chen Xiuwen walked slowly into the house. The main house also has three rooms. On the left is the bedroom, and on the right is the study. The lights in the study are on, but the slight sound comes from the bedroom.

Chen Xiuwen smiled and shook his head lightly, and said respectfully to the bedroom: "Chen Xiuwen asks to see Mr.

As a result, Cheng Chengsi came out with his shoes and waved to him enthusiastically: "I heard you brought food here, hurry up, put it on the table! Let's have a drink."

Chen Xiuwen was almost confused. Well, it turns out that Mr. Cheng has this style?! He had to know it before, and he would come with the Taihua Tower table in the afternoon.

At this time, Aqi had already helped to carry the food box into the house. Hearing Yan, he looked at Chen Xiuwen, then opened the lid and placed all the five dishes inside.

Chen Xiuwen walked to Cheng Chengsi, sat down with his gesture, and smiled and said, "This is a home-cooked side dish from my friend's house. Please don't dislike me."

Cheng Chengsi stroked his beard and looked like a fairy-like look when he first met him. However, as soon as he spoke, he showed the meaning of an old naughty boy. The old man looked at the dish and said bluntly: "Yeah, it's not bad, it's not bad! I'm so fond of it. This friend is so good, you have made friends!"

Chen Xiuwen smiled and took the small cup from Aqi, poured him a glass of warm wine, and said, "My friend lives nearby, and is the Zhang family over there. His name is Zhang Dongming, and his father is a general. If you have any problems in your hometown, you can ask Aqi to come and help."

Cheng Chengsi pointed at his cup with chopsticks and said, "Fill it yourself. I will try the dishes first. If they are delicious, I will remember your friend."

Chen Xiuwen poured himself a cup and watched the old man pick up food and eat it.

Cheng Chengsi nodded with satisfaction and said, "His family is doing really well. Let him come to the Imperial College to listen to my class tomorrow."

Chen Xiuwen was very happy, but he didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected gain. He made a contribution with just one bite of the dish, and he went to the Zhang family to ask for it.

He hurriedly thanked the old man and said, "Sir, I have something to discuss with you."

Cheng Chengsi had a few bites of the dishes and raised his glass and said, "Come on, you can drink too. Let's talk about it after drinking."

After Chen Xiuwen came here, he had never drunk any wine. What he drank at the palace banquet was the same fruit wine as the princes. It was said to be fruit wine, but it was actually more like juice with a little smell of wine. Now he raised his glass and swallowed it, and immediately he was choked and coughed.

Chen Xiuwen hurriedly covered his sleeves, turned to the side, and coughed for a while before he felt better.

Cheng Chengsi smiled and said, "You said that your child from a military general's family can't drink even if he is so old."

Chen Xiuwen put the orders and slowed down, and said gently: "Sir, I'm not as good as the crown, so you can let me drink, this is not good."

Cheng Chengsi smiled and took a sip of wine, and said kindly: "It turns out that he is a good boy. OK, OK, OK."

He asked Aqi to change the tea for Chen Xiuwen and said kindly: "Although he is good, he doesn't hide his dissatisfaction. It's also great to be able to tell me. Xiao Wen'er, I'll learn from him in the future. How about it?"

This is the second time that Cheng Chengsi has taken the initiative to accept the silence as his disciple.

Chen Xiuwen paused for a moment, then immediately put it down, stood up and bowed, "Xiu Wen is willing to study with the teacher."

Cheng Chengsi was also very happy, raised his hand to let him sit down, and sighed, "After all, I have disciples to serve and respect again!"

Chen Xiuwen felt like a black line at the end. The gentleman said it was right, but he was speechless.

Cheng Chengsi reminded again: "Your senior brothers and sisters, your wings will fly away as soon as they are hard. You have to come slowly, don't leave your teacher as soon as possible."

After saying that, he pretended to be sad, raised his hand to touch the corners of his eyes, and wiped tears that did not exist at all.

The teacher I just recognized was suspected to be a drama master, and Chen Xiuwen was a little bad, and I felt that I needed to calm down.

Aqi looked at him with some sympathy and deliberately added some more meals to deliver them to him.

Chen Xiuwen raised his hand and held the bowl down, and said to the old man with a kind look: "Don't worry, teacher, I'll support you." Since he decided to become a disciple, Mr. Cheng is naturally his relatives and elders. If the teacher has something to do, the disciple will obey his work. It is natural for him to respect and support him.

Seeing that he had a clean and honest attitude, Cheng Chengsi said in his heart that he was looking for a good child and there was someone else to follow.

He happily drank the wine in the glass and said, "Xiao Wen'er, come on, let's give it to you again."

Aqi hurriedly said, "Sir, the doctor has told you not to drink too much."

He explained to Chen Xiuwen again: "Young Master, sir, he fell seriously ill a few days ago, and his stomach was relatively weak."

Cheng Chengsi glared at him and said, "What's the matter if you have another drink? Today is a good day, you don't have much to say."

Seeing this, Chen Xiuwen also handed the small wine pot to Aqi and said to the old man: "Teacher, I am no longer an outsider now. Your health is the first priority. We must listen to the doctor. If you want to drink, I will come here to drink with you tomorrow. Is it okay?"

Cheng Chengsi laughed and said, "Xiao Wen'er, you're still drinking with me, haha, I won't drink it today."

He put the wine cup aside, picked up the food and took a bite. Chen Xiuwen also started to eat. Neither of them said anything. Chen Xiuwen was afraid that the old man would eat quickly and would not be able to digest it, so he deliberately slowed down his speed.

After a while, the supper was used up. Cheng Chengsi patted his stomach with satisfaction and said, "I ate well today, I have to write more tonight."

Chen Xiuwen saw the old man's expression after using up his meal, and couldn't help but say, "Teacher, how do you live on weekdays?" He knew that the husband was poor, but he never expected that he might have difficulty even eating ordinary meals?

Cheng Chengsi knew he had a misunderstanding and laughed: "You are a teacher who is really frugal in daily life, but don't worry, you just don't have to pay attention to your verbal desires. What you want to eat is not something you boast about, but you can definitely eat it."

Aqi said to her, yes, but you always want to eat nothing.

Chen Xiuwen thought to himself that he had thought the old man was a foodie before, but he realized it was an illusion after a meal. He was silent for a moment and smiled and said, "Teacher, I can cook two dishes, so I can cook them for you to try."

Cheng Chengsi said in surprise: "Xiao Wen'er can cook too? She is a good teacher. Your second senior brother Wu Chen was also a good cook at the time, but unfortunately he came to see him and only made vegetarian food."

"But vegetarian food is delicious." He said and smashed his mouth twice, obviously remembering the second disciple's food.

Chen Xiuwen asked casually: "Teacher, do you know where the second senior brother is?"

Cheng Chengsi recalled: "It's time to go to Yunzhou now. In two days, I will write a letter to your senior brothers and sisters so that they can know about you."

"Teacher, do you have contact with them? I heard that senior brother hasn't returned for a long time." Chen Xiuwen said curiously.

Cheng Chengsi said, "Yes, your senior brothers and sisters will send letters to your teacher. Your senior brother is on the island, but it has been more than a year since there has been no news. Whenever your second senior brother goes, he will write some customs and customs to your teacher. Your third senior brother is practicing Taoism on the mountain, and often asks the mountain people to send letters to argue with your teacher about the way of heaven. Your fourth senior sister is the most filial and greets you every few days."

He smiled and touched his beard and said, "They are all good kids, and you will definitely get along well if you are destined to meet in the future."

Chen Xiuwen smiled and should be so.

Cheng Chengsi asked him to go to the study together to talk. He first asked Chen Xiuwen about his studies. Chen Xiuwen answered them truthfully.

"The disciple has a weak foundation, which makes the teacher laugh."

Cheng Chengsi said: "You are determined to learn, and you are not afraid of starting late. But I heard that your handwriting is very good, so I will write a few for me."

Chen Xiuwen then put on the desk and wrote the best goodness as water.

Cheng Chengsi looked at Lianlian nodded and praised: "The word is good! The word is good! I really have a sharp eye!"

Chen Xiuwen couldn't help but smile and said, "Teacher, I have a good vision, why don't you recommend a good disciple to you?"
