Chapter 47: Surprise Discovery

"Congratulations to Brother Wanrong, congratulations to Brother Xi Wanrong!" As soon as Chen Wanrong entered the door, he saw a few smiling faces. Huang Boming smiled the most happily, his mouth broke into his ears, and he congratulated Chen Wanrong from afar.

It turned out that the gentleman from the county hall came. When the news spread, the county hall was the most honorable. Among them, Huang Boming felt the most honorable. As the priest of the county hall and Chen Zairong's gentleman, he felt that he was responsible for congratulating Chen Zairong, a proud disciple.

Look at his appearance, he smiled happier than picking up ten thousand taels of gold. Chen Wanrong had never seen him so happy since he met him.

Chen Wanrong bowed his fists and said, "Thank you Mr. Huang! Zairong is so promising, this is all Mr. Huang's teachings. You must know that if the teacher is not good, then the disciple will be unreasonable. Zairong is a blessing for you to have a good teacher with outstanding knowledge like you. Mr. Huang, I will thank the teacher for your kindness!" He bowed deeply.

Any teacher likes to hear this. Huang Boming's ears are so high that he can't dare to say this. He is already happy and keeps touching his beard. Since he met Chen Wanrong, he has said this most impressively today!

Qi Xianming came over to congratulate him. After he finished congratulations, the other gentlemen also came to congratulate him. After several gentlemen finished congratulations, several student representatives came to congratulate him again. After a long time of dealing with it, Chen Wanrong responded and asked them to come to the house to serve tea.

It is important to deal with Huang Boming and others, but the acquisition of the winery is even more important. Sun Zhengping waited for money to help him, so he could not wait. Chen Wanrong had to make a decision that was not in line with this situation: "Mr. Huang, Mr. Qi, I have something to do. Let's go away for a while, and we will chat slowly later later."

At this time, everyone should sit together and chat and discuss the matter of thanking the teacher. It is too unreasonable for Chen Wanrong to do this, but the words have been said, and Huang Boming and the others are helpless. Huang Boming had no choice but to say, "Brother Wanrong, please give me!"

Chen Wanrong left the house and asked Chen Zhongshi to accompany him to talk, otherwise it would be too unspeakable without a master. Chen Zhongshi was so shocked that he quickly stepped back: "They are all scholars, how can I speak? Don't go, don't go!"

"Look at your appearance! No matter how prosperous his father is, his father is so unsatisfied! If you don't go, I'll go!" Chen Wangshi had the same style as a general, and he tidied up his clothes and smiled on his face. Chen Zhen hesitated for a moment, tidied up his clothes, and followed him in.

Chen Wanrong brought Sun Zhengping to his house and closed the door. Sun Zhengping said guiltily: "Shopkeeper Chen, I'm really the right time to come! I'm talking about such a big happy event in your family. Why are you feeling so happy? Storekeeper Chen, let's talk about this later."

"Shopkeeper Sun, don't worry! It doesn't matter if you get a happy event sooner or a late one. It's already a happy event. Don't fight for this time. You're urgent, so it's better to deal with it first. You're waiting to use the money." Chen Wanrong understood his mood very much.

Someone at home went to the East Palace to pay tribute. What a major thing. If someone changes his body, he will not pay attention to it even if the sky falls. Chen Wanrong gave priority to it. Sun Zhengping was moved, and tears flashed in his eyes. He bent his knees and wanted to kneel down again. Chen Wanrong hurriedly stopped him: "Shopkeeper Sun, we will discuss the documents."

Sun Zhengping followed Chen Wanrong's proposal. The two discussed and agreed on the terms. Chen Wanrong was not a bad person, so Sun Zhengping accepted the terms one by one, and the document was written quickly. Just writing this document, Chen Wanrong's calligraphy was too rough and could only be written by Sun Zhengping.

In duplicate, the two signed the letters and each held one. Chen Wanrong took out two hundred taels of gold and gave it to Sun Zhengping. Sun Zhengping wrote a receipt, and after thanking him for his gratitude, he happily left.

Chen Wanrong tidied up his clothes and returned to the room. Huang Boming and the others stared at Chen Wangshi, all of whom were happy and kept saying, "Auntie is right, but he is right!" Chen Laoshi was beside him, as if he was supporting the role in the crosstalk.

Chen Wang often acts unexpectedly and is full of wisdom. Even the shrewd Chen Wanrong is convinced, but he doesn't know what she says, so attractive.

"Wanrong, have you done your business?" Chen Wang asked.

Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Mom, it's done! Everyone, let's wait for you for a long time, thank you here!" He bowed with fists, and Huang Boming and the others said in unison: "I dare not."

Chen Wangshi stood up and said, "Wanrong, you can talk to Mr. Huang and the others. If you have something to do, go and do it first."

Chen Wanrong hurriedly held it and asked softly in her ear: "Mom, what are you saying? Are they so happy?"

"I didn't say much, just said that Ai Rong is so promising. It's the teacher's credit. We must thank them well. Wanrong, how should you thank you? You can make an idea." Chen Wangshi replied in a low voice. He went out first, and Chen Laoshi hurriedly followed him out.

This Chen Wangshi is really smart. Huang Boming and others came to say it was a congratulation today, but secretly came to ask for gratitude, and they couldn't push it off. She just said she wanted to thank her, but she didn't say how much she thanked her. Huang Boming and others couldn't be happy.

Chen Wanrong secretly praised Chen Wang's cleverness and said, "Mr. Huang, Ai Rong's department has been out of the county hall. He has received guidance from all the gentlemen and the help of all the students. We are grateful. We sincerely want to thank you. But we are from a farmer family and don't know much about these rules. How to thank you. I would like to ask you for your advice."

This is half true and half false. Chen Wanrong is not unaware of the etiquette of scholars, but he is not well aware of it. Chen Wanrong was admitted to university and invited the teachers who had taught him together. The school leaders set up a few tables. This matter was over. It must not work in the Tang Dynasty, so he had to ask Huang Boming and the others for advice.

Chen Zairong knew the rules, but others were in the East Palace.

What we waited for was this sentence, Huang Boming still declined with his usual humility: "Brother Wanrong, where did you say this? It is our responsibility to teach us how glorious we are. We teach us how glorious we are to cultivate talents for the court, not for your benefit. If we speak loudly, we will be too heavy. Brother Wanrong, don't say this in the future, as it will cause misunderstandings!"

With a serious look on his face, as if he really didn't want to accept the gift, Qi Xianming hurriedly echoed: "Brother Wanrong, Mr. Huang said so well! Brother Wanrong, we have known each other for so long. I say nothing but high or low. Don't take it to your heart. Your words are insulting! It's insulting to be gentle!"

Chen Wanrong has seen their desire to suffer once, and smiled and said, "Mr. Xie Qi reminds me that Wanrong has written it down! Since you are so resolute, I will do something that is not a shame. I want you to go out for a walk and enjoy the scenery in spring. What do you think?"

This is a matter of inviting them out for a trip. It is indeed an elegant matter for literati. No one will say that they will eat the mountains and swallow them by the way. All kinds of relationships have been taken care of, and Huang Boming will not refuse.

Huang Boming scratched his head and pondered for a moment, saying, "Brother Wanrong invited me warmly, so we had to refuse it!"

"Brother Xie Wanrong!" Qi Xianming stood up and thanked him.

As soon as he went out, everything was done. Chen Wanrong thought it was over, but he heard Qi Xianming smile and said, "Brother Wanrong, our county has cultivated a lot of talents for the court over the past hundred years. There is no such person as outstanding as Zairong. I will accompany the prince. Congratulations!"

Several students who reacted slowly did not hear what he meant, and their faces were full of regret. This was the opportunity to ruthlessly kill Chen Wanrong, and it was gone. How could they not feel regretful?

Chen Wanrong understood what he meant. He was telling Chen Wanrong that you can't just invite a trip, but you have to have other activities. After the scholars of the Tang Dynasty "Fish Leaping the Dragon Gate", there were countless banquets. Chen Wanrong didn't know which banquet to use. He asked: "Mr. Huang, as far as I know, whenever you have successful study, you must do a banquet. I don't know which banquet to use for Airong?"

The opportunity came, Huang Boming stopped refusing and thought for a while and said, "Brother Wanrong, I think this matter is going to be a hot banquet."

Upon hearing this, Chen Wanrong's scalp exploded and said hurriedly: "Mr. Huang, is it too heavy? The tail-burning banquet is a banquet for Jinshi. Even though Rong ran around the East Palace, he did not pass the imperial examination."

The tail-burning banquet is the most popular banquet for scholars nowadays. The tea and dishes are extremely meticulous, no less than a hundred ways, and it costs a lot. It is not that Chen Wanrong is reluctant to give up money, but that the tail-burning banquet is too troublesome. Not only does it take to eat and drink, but also invite a hundred operas to entertain it. It is easy to have a day of fun. This social event alone is enough to make Chen Wanrong tired and disperse.

Although running around the East Palace is glorious, it still has a bright future. After all, there is no status. If you use the Jinshi Banquet, you will definitely be a joke. Huang Boming thought for a while and then said, "Brother Wanrong, why not like this? Put a few tables on it and invite what you should invite, and everyone will be happy."

This is a good idea. Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Then I will hold a banquet tomorrow night to thank you."

Everyone was very happy about this matter. Qi Xianming reminded Chen Wanrong: "Brother Wanrong, Lord Shen is also a scholar, so he cannot be without him."

Shen Que is a parent official, and he would not have succeeded without him. Even if Qi Xianming didn't say anything, Chen Wanrong would not be left behind. He smiled and said, "I'll post to Lord Shen to invite you."

Huang Boming reminded Chen Wanrong: "Brother Wanrong, there must be a casual banquet before the banquet, so that it can be in accordance with the rules."

How much does it cost to have a casual banquet, a regular banquet, a tail-burning banquet, and a hundred operas to entertain, eating, drinking, playing and playing. How much does it cost? In the Tang Dynasty, who can still study without a certain foundation?

Chen Wanrong felt his head hurt when he heard it. It wasn’t because he felt sorry for money. This kind of social engagement was really annoying and said with a smile: “Then I will have a banquet to entertain you all tonight. Mr. Huang, where can we enjoy the spring?”

"We have been to Chang'an. We won't go to the big places, we go climbing the mountain. The scenery of Xishan is good and very pleasant. Let's go to Xishan." Huang Boming couldn't be too much.

Xishan, Chen Wanrong has been to it, it is very desolate. Is there anything good to go to? I reminded: "Mr. Huang's suggestion is good, but how to deal with this food and drink? There are no hotels and restaurants there."

"Brother Wanrong doesn't know that when we scholars are free, we like to bring food and drink to climb the mountain to enjoy the scenery. Although the western mountain is a little desolate, the scenery is pretty good. At that time, bring some meat and wine to the mountain to pick up firewood and cook firewood, eat while roasting, and recite poems and drinks. This is the joy of life!" Qi Xianming shook his head, as if he was already in the mountains.

When scholars in the Tang Dynasty traveled, they not only brought cooked food, but also brought raw meat and roasted food. This is similar to our modern "picnic".

Xishan? There is saltpeter in the west! Chen Wanrong's eyes suddenly lit up. I was thinking about going to Xishan to find a saltpeter mine. They like to go to Xishan. Aren't they just a voluntary survey team?

"Success, when will we go?" Chen Wanrong asked very excitedly.

Huang Boming didn't know what Chen Wanrong was thinking, so he pondered for a moment: "The day after tomorrow is just the day after tomorrow. If Brother Wanrong has time, we will go the day after tomorrow."

"It's decided!" Chen Wanrong immediately made the decision.

I originally wanted to invite them to a big place to travel and hold a banquet to invite them. They were both elegant and elegant, but they were not left alone. Unexpectedly, they could go to Xishan and find a saltpeter mine. Chen Wanrong wanted to go to Xishan now.

Huang Boming and his friends were anxious to tell the good news to the people in the county hall and left. Chen Wanrong sent them away and briefly informed Chen Laoshi and his wife about this. The two elders had always supported Chen Wanrong, so they had no words.

There is no need to ask for a banquet. Chen Wanrong thought that it would be better to post tomorrow and handle the production matters today. He was busy until dark, so he went to the county hall, met Huang Boming and the others, went straight to the restaurant, ordered wine and food, and then went home until he had enough food and drink.

I got up very early the next day because I wanted to take a horse. Chen Zairong used to do it, but now he is not here, so I can only go and walk by myself. After washing up, I took the blue and white flowers out of the yard, flew on the horse, slapped the horse back, and galloped straight to the east.

I didn't run far, but I saw a white horse running slowly. A pretty man was sitting on the horse's back. It was no one else, but Zheng Qing. Chen Wanrong rushed over and said with a smile: "Miss Zheng, it's so early! Are you walking around?"

Zheng Qing smiled and said, "Yes! Brother Chen, I didn't expect to meet you! Brother Chen, where are you walking around?" His voice was sweet and beautiful.

Running a horse is equivalent to a human morning exercise. As long as the horse runs away, it doesn’t matter where you go, Chen Wanrong smiled and said, “Just run away.”

"Brother Chen, let's compete for the feet!" Zheng Qing suggested. Her beautiful eyes were aimed at Chen Wanrong, full of hope.

Chen Wanrong knew her riding skills, which was a long way from Zheng Qing. Seeing her expectant look, Chen Wanrong was not easy to refuse and nodded, "Okay! If I lose, don't laugh at me."

"Brother Chen, you just like to be modest!" Zheng Qing smiled unabashedly, and slapped the horse's back, and the white horse seemed to shoot out the arrow from the string.

Chen Wanrong grabbed the horse's belly, and the blue and white neighed happily, and followed him up.

Both horses had extraordinary foot strength, and they ran together at the end. Although blue and white horses were good, the white horses were not bad. After running for a long time, Chen Wanrong still failed to catch up and said with a smile: "No, I can't catch up with you."

Zheng Qing smiled and said, "Brother Chen, you are joking. Blue and white are more like Bai'er's divine horse, but blue and white are locked in the circle and are nullified. Brother Chen talks every day, and Bai'er will not be able to catch up with blue and white in less than a month."

This statement is the same as Chen Zairong's statement. Unexpectedly, she still knows how to play the horse. Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "I'll ask you, Ji Yan, then I have to go on the horse."

"Brother Chen, the reins should not be stiff. You should try to combine your strength with the horse's strength, so that the horse can gallop." Zheng Qing pointed out Chen Wanrong's riding skills.

Chen Wanrong can drive the car up, but he can't ride the horse up. He really needs someone to give some advice on equestrianism, and thanked him quickly: "Thank you for reminding me. If there is any place you can't do, please correct me."

Zheng Qing smiled slightly, as if spring flowers were blooming, and she was particularly charming: "Brother Chen is so serious, I only have a little opinion. If Brother Chen doesn't dislike me, I will say I know you."

While correcting Chen Wanrong's riding skills, he ran on horseback. Although Zheng Qing was a daughter, she knew a lot about equestrianism. After careful teaching, Chen Wanrong benefited a lot. The two of them ran all the way, and I don't know how many distances they had run. A path appeared in front of him. Zheng Qingge laughed and made a round of horse heads, and walked on the path.

Chen Wanrong was in high spirits, and he pulled his horse's head, followed closely and asked, "Where is this?"

"How could I know?" Zheng Qing replied in a sweet voice.

I don’t know that I’m still running around, it’s true. However, Chen Wanrong cleverly puts the complaints in his heart. Women always do unreasonable things. Although Zheng Qing is wise, she is a daughter after all, and she is inevitably doing something that women should do.

After running for a while, it became even more desolate and no one was seen. Zheng Qing tied the reins of the horse and turned her head. Because of her long galloping, her pretty face was flying, and her chest was undulating rapidly. She was pretty and charming and pity.

Chen Wanrong was stunned and suggested: "Let's go back."

Zheng Qing nodded obediently, turned her horse's head and turned around the same path. As soon as Chen Wanrong turned her horse's head, a blue light shot from a distance. He saw a piece of blue objects half a fist lying quietly in the grass several feet away. Under the rising sun, it was emitting a blue light.

Chen Wanrong was gone, but when he saw it, he was overjoyed. He jumped off the horse's back, trotted over, picked up the stone in his hand, and shone in his eyes at the sun, it was so blue and beautiful.
