Chapter 385: The Autumn Moon of the Four Great Talents

Zhou Wenbin was full of pride. Even if he broke his arm and was wearing a cloth clothes, there was no sign of showing weakness on his face. Looking at Chen Xiaosheng and the others was like looking at his enemy. He glanced at Master Wuwei coldly and said, "My grandfather was wronged by Tang Yu, and I was wronged by Tang Bohu. The real evil was the Tang family! If you miss the scriptures, you should go to them and ask them to do less evil, not to look for me. There is a cause and there will be a result. If the Tang family had not bullied people too much, how could I take revenge on the Tang family?!"

Zhou Wenbin was about to leave after he said that, Master Wuwei hurriedly stopped him and said sincerely: "Donor Zhou, when will the revenge be repaid? You are too resentful and not conducive to your descendants."

Zhou Wenbin smiled sarcastically, "Directed descendants? If your family is not revenged, how can you talk about your descendants?" As he said that, he pushed him away and left with great strides.

The onlookers pointed at Zhou Wenbin, saying that he did not know the kind-hearted Master Wuwei even scolded him, and he really didn't know what he said. Some people advised Master Wuwei to ignore such people, and he deserved to scold Zhou Wenbin.

Su Xueyun glanced at Wuwei and said, "Zhishan, Xiaolian, let's go in. There is nothing good to look at."

Chen Xiaosheng and Zhu Xiaolian nodded. The three of them entered the door, locked the noise outside the door, and went to visit the teacher together. Zhou Chen was very surprised when he saw them and asked quickly: "Qiuyue, you're fine if you come back, everything has been resolved, right?"

Su Xueyun nodded with a smile, poured a cup of tea for Zhou Chen, and gave it to him, "I worry the teacher. Qiuyue will be free in the future, and she will definitely live a good life and will not embarrass the teacher."

Zhou Chen took the teacup and took a sip, nodding happily, "Okay, it's good to be safe. You have always been focused on martial arts, and you are not very talented in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so don't force these. As the saying goes, I am born with a talent, and you don't have to force things to learn. As long as you have a good character, you will be very pleased to be a teacher."

Chen Xiaosheng smiled and said, "Then you don't have to worry about teacher. Qiuyue's character is absolutely nothing to say. By the way, teacher, we met Zhou Wenbin when we came in just now, and he came to you to write a book for him. Are you making things difficult for you? Why don't I go and talk to him?"

Zhou Chen frowned slightly and sighed, "Zhou Wenbin, a teacher, has always thought that he was scheming and incorrect in his mind, but he does have real talents and knowledge. To be honest, he is also a little hesitant when he is a teacher."

Zhu Xiaolian said, "Owner Zhou, Zhou Wenbin doesn't seem that bad in private. I have contacted him several times and feel that he is usually quite normal. Speaking of which, he has saved me twice. However, he was indeed inappropriate when he competed with my brother and others. It is really hard to say what kind of character he is."

Zhou Chen sighed: "That's true. Once the book is written, I don't know if there will be pillars of many countries or multiple black sheep in the future. Alas."

Seeing that he was so embarrassed, Su Xueyun said, "Teacher, it's not time for the imperial examination yet. Why not observe him when you have time? Speaking of which, even if he wants to take the exam, he has to cure his arm. How can he take the exam if his right arm is broken?"

Zhou Chen frowned again, "His right arm is broken, and he is so persistent in the imperial examination. It can be seen that he is a person with a strong mind. But I heard about his grandfather back then... Alas, it seems that being the number one talent in Jiangnan and the top scorer in the exam was already the obsession of the Zhou family. I don't know if he really wants to serve the country or climb to a high position before taking revenge on the Tang family. The dispute between the ancestors of the two families actually affected future generations, which is really a sin."

When talking about the Tang family, Su Xueyun and the others were inconvenient to say anything. Zhou Chen also reacted and said with a smile: "Forget it, today is a happy day, let's not mention those bad things. I told the kitchen that you will cook a table of wine and food, so you will stay for a meal with your teacher. Speaking of which, Zhishan hasn't come to me for more than a month, so I heard Zhengming say that he is going to do business? It should be smooth to see that you look like you, and you won't be drunk today."

Chen Xiaosheng hurriedly stood up and said, "I'll go, teacher, please sit."

Zhu Xiaolian smiled and said, "Local Master Zhou, you don't know. My brother is actually not going to do business, but disguised himself as another person to avenge Sister Qiuyue."

Zhou Chen looked at Su Xueyun in surprise, "Oh? Zhishan accompanied Qiuyue?"

Zhu Xiaolian nodded and told Zhou Chen everything that happened during this period. Her brother was more capable than before and even found such a good sister-in-law for her. She was so happy that she wanted to say it when she saw someone. Chen Xiaosheng came back and Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Last time you drank with me, and he also asked his teacher to help you pay attention to your marriage. Unexpectedly, you and Qiu Yue became a couple soon." He stroked his beard and said, "You two are steady people, and you have experienced this life and death together. I believe that the couple will be harmonious in the future. OK, OK!"

Zhu Xiaolian's eyes rolled and suddenly said, "Owner Zhou, since my brother and Sister Qiuyue are both your students, you might as well be their hostess in the future! You also know that my brother has no elders. If Master Zhou can help my brother do it, that would be great!"

Su Xueyun smiled speechlessly and said, "You are not ashamed of being a little girl, you don't have to worry about these things."

"That's not the case. It's the so-called "strike while the iron is hot. Sister Qiuyue is so good. What if someone snatched away? Anyway, you have deep affection and friendship, so why not settle down. The exam will be held soon. Brother, you will definitely go to the exam, right? Get married first and then start a career. If you marry Sister Qiuyue, you may win the top scorer in two joys. By then, Sister Qiuyue will be the top scorer's wife, and I will be the top scorer's sister!" Zhu Xiaolian became happier and happier as she spoke, and she would make them get married tomorrow.

Chen Xiaosheng knocked her head with a fan and said with a funny look: "Don't talk nonsense in front of the teacher. Just take care of your own affairs, either big or small. Besides, I don't plan to take the imperial examination. I haven't read a book for so long, and I don't have much hope after going there. It's better to rest at home and open my study well."

Unexpectedly, Zhou Chen said, "How can you not go to the imperial examination as one of the three treasures in Suzhou? Zhishan, what Xiaolian said makes sense. If you are interested in each other, it is better to start the marriage first. You and Qiuyue are not young anymore, and your life is much more stable after becoming a family. As for the imperial examination, I believe in you, and I will definitely be able to get a good ranking in Guangzong and glory. You must think carefully."

Zhu Xiaolian hurriedly agreed and persuaded them to make a decision as soon as possible. Chen Xiaosheng and Su Xueyun looked at each other and smiled helplessly. They have been busy since they crossed over, like tight strings. Now they have been a little relaxed. They have not adapted to the ancient times and have not really gained a foothold. Unexpectedly, the couple was urged to get married without rushing. However, they are very young in modern times, and in ancient times they are indeed past the age of marriage, so no wonder others urge them to urge them.

Chen Xiaosheng thought for a while, got up and bowed to Zhou Chen, and said, "Teacher, the student has no elders at home. I wonder if he can ask the teacher to come forward on his behalf and propose marriage to Qiuyue's aunt?"

Zhou Chen said happily: "Okay, you are willing to be a teacher of this kind of happy event. Don't worry, my two students get married, I will definitely give you a glorious gift."

Zhu Xiaolian sat next to Su Xueyun with a smile, held her hand and said, "From the future, many sisters-in-law will love me."

Su Xueyun shook her head with a funny look, "You, fortunately, we don't value rules in the world, otherwise the lady from a noble family would have been scared away by you. How could you talk about these things in front of the woman?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, we are all our own people, as long as we don't hear it by others. By the way, if Zhishan is injured, don't drink anymore. We use tea instead of wine."

Chen Xiaosheng and Su Xueyun never thought that they would settle the marriage so soon, but they thought that this was ancient times and that marriages were indeed like this. Otherwise, it would be more worrying to others. It would be better to let the flow. Besides, the couple traveled together, Su Xueyun was also a little worried that Chen Xiaosheng would not adapt to the ancient times. It would be good for them to be a husband and wife to live together openly.

After dinner, Chen Xiaosheng and Zhu Xiaolian went home. Zhu Xiaolian saw the clean home and walked around several times inside and out, and smiled happily: "No wonder the rich and noble families like to invite servants. It turns out that it feels so good if they don't have to clean themselves."

Chen Xiaosheng joked: "You think your brother was harsh on you in the past? My brother saved money and saved it as a dowry for you. If we weren't frugal, how could we have the money to open a study?"

Zhu Xiaolian pretended to be angry and said, "How could I say that? Don't wrongly accuse me. Be careful that I will complain to my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law will definitely help me."

Chen Xiaosheng shook his head, "Not long ago, you saw her look like she was about to eat her, but now she is even more timid than me. Women are really fickle."

"You are just fickle. You have liked Su Ju for ten years. You don't listen to me. I didn't expect you to fall in love with Sister Qiuyue after disappearing for more than a month." Zhu Xiaolian looked at Chen Xiaosheng seriously and said, "I warn you, don't be stubborn. Sister Qiuyue is many times better than that Su Ju. If that Su Ju really likes you, she will not listen to her father's marriage to others. Don't think about her again in the future. You have seen how Sister Qiuyue treats Tang Bohu. If she finds you stubbornly, I look, hum, be careful of being dismembered by five horses!"

Chen Xiaosheng grabbed the fan on the table and knocked her hard, "Is my kind person like that, your brother? I am a famous talent in Jiangnan after all. I don't know how many women I want to marry me over the years. I rejected everyone because someone in my heart. Do you seem to be half-hearted? Now Qiuyue and I have experienced the same life and death and have not been compared to others. I have figured it out, and it is the most important thing to cherish the people in front of us. Don't worry, Qiuyue and I will definitely be happy and have a family of children and grandchildren. It is impossible for the things you said to happen."

Zhu Xiaolian covered her forehead and muttered, "I kindly advised you to hit me, Humph, next time I see Sister Qiuyue, you will tell her that you are not good to me! I will go to bed and ignore you!"

Zhu Xiaolian said that, but she still boiled hot water before going to bed. Chen Xiaosheng smiled and suddenly understood why Su Xueyun liked her sister so much in her previous life. It really felt good to have a well-behaved and sensible sister.

Chen Xiaosheng was about to rest when he suddenly heard footsteps outside the door. He walked over to open the door in confusion and saw Wen Zhengming holding his hand up to knock on the door.

Wen Zhengming was stunned and asked, "Old Zhu? How did you know I'm here?"

Chen Xiaosheng smiled and asked him to come in: "Zhengming, have you forgotten? I have practiced martial arts, and my hearing is no longer the same as before. You don't know martial arts and have heavy steps, so I heard it when you came over."

Wen Zhengming suddenly said, "So that's it. If you don't mention it, I forgot that you know martial arts." He looked at Chen Xiaosheng who had lost a lot of weight and said, "It's really not very suitable for your changes, but this is a good change. You now look much more reliable. The so-called Kong said to be Chengren, Meng said to be righteous, Lao Zhu, you have made a good change!"

Chen Xiaosheng took him to the study room and poured him a cup of tea. Seeing that he was holding a cloth bag in his hand, he said, "Come for me to save the box?"

"Yes, how do you know?" Wen Zhengming looked puzzled and opened the cloth bag that was exposed inside, pushing it in front of him, "You open it and see if it's right."

Chen Xiaosheng has been a police officer for so long, and many things will be analyzed involuntarily at first glance. This kind of speculation is naturally no problem. He didn't explain, but just smiled and said, "I guessed casually, why are you so anxious? You sent me the ones to the middle of the night? My aunt helped me so much. It's probably because I came to visit and thank you. But you still sent them so late."

Wen Zhengming smiled and said, "My mother heard that you were back, so she asked me to send the things quickly, afraid that you would be useless." After he said that, he suddenly turned a stern face and said in a deep voice, "Old Zhu, you are too unfavorable. Why did you say that you were afraid that Xiaolian was in a bad mood? I asked my mother to help you keep it. Who knew you were not going to do business at all. You did this because you were afraid that you would die in a bad life, right? You knew that you were in danger, but you didn't tell your brothers. Are Bohu and I greedy for life and death? The so-called Kong said Chengren, Meng said to be righteous! How can you deceive your brothers?"

Seeing that he was angry, Chen Xiaosheng laughed, and stood up and patted his shoulder, saying, "Zhengming, brothers can use their knives to go to the knife and go to the oil pan down the mountain. But besides being my brother, you are also your mother's son, and the only male of the ninth generation of the Wen family. It is because I regard you as a brother that I cannot implicate you, let alone you not be able to help with such things in the martial arts world, and it is just to worry everyone. My parents died early, your mother is my mother, and my aunt watched me grow up. I regard her as my elder, so how can she be worried? Well, now I have finally been safe and everyone is happy. I am happy with everything. I am not that good? Brothers, I also miss you, don't be angry with me."

Wen Zhengming said unwillingly: "You are always good at doing business, but I can't tell you. In short, you are wrong this time. Our brothers said that we should enjoy happiness and share difficulties. If you hide something from me next time, I will definitely not forgive you!"

"I know, come on, I will use tea instead of wine. I will apologize to you. Brother Zhengming, don't blame me. My injury has not healed yet, and you can't bear to let me keep thinking about this matter, right?" Chen Xiaosheng personally brought a cup of tea to Wen Zhengming, and Wen Zhengming finally couldn't help but smile.

After that, Wen Zhengming was concerned about Chen Xiaosheng's injuries. Seeing that it was late, he got up and went home. Before leaving, he stood at the door and stopped for a long time, but he still didn't mention Tang Bohu. Thinking that the three brothers could make up, he sighed and left.

Zhou Chen was very concerned about his students. In addition, he always encountered bad things during this period, so there was a rare event. He also wanted to do it as soon as possible to make everyone enjoy the joy, and by the way, the Six Arts Hall was also lively. So the next day, he started buying betrothal gifts with Chen Xiaosheng and Zhu Xiaolian. The silver was naturally given by Chen Xiaosheng, and the gift list was drafted by Zhou Chen and bought the same as above.

Zhu Xiaolian is responsible for picking beautiful jewelry. Because she likes Su Xueyun, her sister-in-law, she is also very generous and chooses expensive things in everything. This time, she spends most of the savings of the Zhu family, and only the money left in her budget to organize marriages.

Zhu Xiaolian said, "I had already planned what kind of dowry to do, but my marriage was gone, but you were going to get married. But now I don't have the heart to think about these things, so I'll give you all the money in my family. Brother, you must remember my good things in the future. Don't worry about my sister if you have a wife."

Chen Xiaosheng said with a funny look: "Don't worry, sister, I will come back after spending all my money. I will earn more money in the future. I will keep you from getting married. I will take the Shilihongzhuang when you get married."

"I'll say it nice!" Zhu Xiaolian smiled happily, "But I know my brother won't treat me badly. Let's pick two more gold bracelets for Sister Qiuyue. Sister Qiuyue is so beautiful, she must look like a fairy when wearing beautiful jewelry."

Zhu Xiaolian was excited to buy something, but in the end Chen Xiaosheng had to hire a carriage to carry the betrothal gifts, and there were more things than those listed on the gift list. Zhou Chen stroked his beard with satisfaction and reminded him: "Zhishan, take these things back and organize them well. I will go to Changlefang with the matchmaker to propose marriage tomorrow morning."

Chen Xiaosheng looked happy and said respectfully: "Thank you for your hard work, Qiuyue and I will be filial to our teacher in the future."

"Okay, okay, I have you as my student, and I will have no regrets in this life." Zhou Chen was very happy. Seeing that Shi Chen was not early, he returned to the Six Arts Association first, preparing to rest early, and have a good look to propose marriage.

Zhu Xiaolian opened the curtain of the carriage and counted it, and said, "Brother, I just need a wooden box. Let's go back to sort it out after buying it."

"Okay, I'll go to Taibailou to buy two vegetables. Today you're tired, so don't cook." Chen Xiaosheng responded with a smile. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly felt a gaze staring at him. When he looked back, he found that the woman was staring at him was a simple-dressed woman, who seemed familiar. The woman seemed to be unexpectedly, and was startled by him. She was startled and quickly lowered her head and turned around and left. Her movements were very suspicious.

Zhu Xiaolian got off the carriage, clapped her hands and asked, "Brother? What are you looking at?"

Chen Xiaosheng frowned, then looked at the woman's back, thinking, "It's nothing, it seems like he saw an acquaintance. It's okay, let's go, it's almost dark."

"Oh." Zhu Xiaolian looked over there without caring, and soon discussed with Chen Xiaosheng what kind of box would look good.

Chen Xiaosheng walked for a while, but still didn't remember who that woman was. He had eye disease in this life and could not see clearly even if he was so far away. Just think about it. Since the woman deliberately avoided her, she didn't think she was an important person.
