Chapter 60,3: 震惊

 [Shock]

---

Chen Xing was somewhat curious as he listened , behind him, followed by those students who looked around, before someone who curious asked: “What happened?”

 

Fu An heard him ask like this, seems to be finally found the opponent who he could talk to, immediately spit out his bitterness as he said, “Little Boss, you do not know that some time ago, the county magistrate went to our school.”

 

Chen Xing looked at his bitter and hateful look, followed by a nod. He was somewhat confused as he said: “What’s wrong with this? Didn’t you always hope to go to the county magistrate’s place?”

 

It might be poking Fu An’s sore spot, he clapped his hands and immediately said: “I originally look forward to meet with the county magistrate. I hope that he could check on us earlier and then we earlier be free from teacher. Who knows, the county master came to ask a lot of questions. Some were  something that we have never heard of, so we couldn’t answer at the moment. When the county master left, Mr. extraordinarily angry, said we insulted his teaching. Not only did he penalize us for copying the Four Books and Five Classics ten times, but he also got a dozen books from somewhere and told us to recite them by heart within a month, or he would punish us severely.”

 

[Four Books (the four major Confucian classics, namely, The Great Learning (《大学》), The Doctrine of the Mean (《中庸》), The Analects of Confucius (《论语》), and The Mencius (《孟子》))]

 

[Five Classics (namely, The Book of Songs (《诗经》), The Book of History (《书经》), The Book of Changes (《易经》), The Book of Rites (《礼记》), and The Spring and Autumn Annals (《春秋》))]

 

“A dozen books ah! I hadn’t even heard of them, let alone memorized them. But if I don’t do it, I’m going to oppose the teacher. Do you know that in order to catch up with this progress, I have lost weight a little? My classmates were about the same.”

 

Chen Xing felt that this Fu Gongzi may be have a few points of storytelling gift. If not because his several classmates who followed behind him was not in good mood, kind of anxious, he probably would laugh out loud on the spot. 

 

He must not laugh, otherwise Chen Xing felt that these scholars can tear him on the spot, he tried to stifle his smile back, showing a sympathetic smile as he politely said:

 

“It’s really kind of you, Fu Gongzi. Since Fu Gongzi recently suffered such a great crime. Today he has specially come here to eat. I and Fu Gongzi and is considered a friend, later I will definitely take out my skills to entertain you, and then send you a bottle of wine, considered as a gift. It is also my way of thanking Fu Gongzi who has always been supportive.”

 

Soothing the physically and mentally affected Fu Gongzi and his friends, he let Qiu Jiu send them to the private room, only then Chen Xing turned his head to look at Gu Lang’s side who has not said anything, so he said in a warm voice: “Recently the temperature is drop, if you are not comfortable, can’t hold it anymore, go back to rest first. There is no shortage of manpower in the store now, so don’t need to worry.”

 

Gu Lang sat there and raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were as gentle as possible, “I’m just sitting here collecting the bills. How am I working hard? It’s you in the back kitchen that’s working hard.”

 

Those who come together with Fu An, but because the blow received last time was too big. That shut-in person who can not face Chen Xing directly, hiding in the back of his classmates, Shen He, finally before stepping into the backyard, he can not help but look in the direction of Chen Xing. The result is he see this kind harmony between husband and wife, gentle and small intention in it. He suddenly feel more infarcted in his heart, suddenly turned his head as he looked inside. 

 

Chen Xing, who is still unaware of Shen He’s actions, after worrying about Gu Lang, finally rushed to the back kitchen to prepare.

 

After Chen Xing left, Gu Lang tightened the smile on his face as he sat there, went towards the place where Fu An left just now, he looked at there indifferently.
