Chapter 39 Accepted a county magistrate’s apprentice!
Magistrate Chen's voice was gentle and sweet, and he helped Mr. Zhao, who was nearest, to his feet.
"No gift, no gift."
"Mr. Zhao, I heard that you are also in this village, so I wanted to take this opportunity to visit you."
The village chief laughed at the side and kept praising: "Master Chen is a good official who cares about the people, is diligent and honest!"
"Come to our village to see the flash flood situation in person."
County Magistrate Chen was embarrassed and said, "I'm serious, I just came today."
Wu stood behind County Magistrate Chen and explained: "Several villages in the county suffered floods one after another, and the teacher just rushed over from the previous village and didn't even have time to rest."
Magistrate Chen's expression was a little tired, and his eyes were a little green.
The village chief became more respectful and bowed deeply to County Magistrate Chen.
"Oh, look at me, I walked around with Mr. Chen, and you didn't even have a mouthful of saliva."
Mr. Zhao held up the stool and wiped it with his sleeves, "Come and sit down."
Mrs. Chen quickly poured a bowl of water and offered it with both hands, "Sir, please drink some water."
County Magistrate Chen was definitely tired from walking, so he sat down calmly, took the water from Mrs. Chen, and drank it in one gulp.
Zhao Changfu wiped the stool he had made earlier and said, "Mr. Wu, please sit down too."
Wu Yang was two years older than Zhao Changfu. The twelve-year-old boy smiled heartily and said, "Thank you, you won't be able to write if I sit down. I can stand."
Zhao Yicha took the water and held it up so that Wu Yang, who was more than a body taller than her, could hold it easily.
The sweet voice is particularly comfortable for the listener.
"Brother, drink water."
"Wow! What a cute little sister."
Wu Yang took the water with both hands, squatted down, and looked at Zhao Yicha's level.
"Thank you, what's your name?"
Zhao Yicha is not shy
, replied generously, "Brother, my name is Zhao Yicha, the tea from Camellia!"
"Zhao Yicha, your name is really nice."
Zhao Yicha smiled particularly sweetly, "Thank you for the compliment, brother."
County Magistrate Chen looked at everyone in the shed, and his favorable impression of the Zhao family grew a lot.
The shed is clean and organized.
The Zhao family looked at him with awe and joy in their eyes, without any flattery.
Although they were dressed simply, everyone was neatly dressed and carefully embroidered with exquisite embroidery. The embroidery on everyone's body was different.
It can be seen that they are a family living a good life.
Young children are not timid when facing strangers and can communicate with others in a calm and generous manner. Even farmers have good education for their children.
Magistrate Chen's eyes finally fell on Lu Ming on the bed.
"Hey, there is such a young girl."
Lu Ming has a pair of big, watery eyes, white and tender, and she looks like a good-looking girl at first glance.
"Ah wow wow wow."
After looking at Magistrate Chen for a while, Lu Ming took the initiative to say hello.
Zhao Yicha looked at his sister and then at County Magistrate Chen.
My sister seems to like Mr. Chen very much.
Master Chen seemed to understand Lu Ming's words, stood up and walked towards Lu Ming.
"Hello, little girl."
Lu Ming looked curiously at Mr. Chen who was approaching, so handsome!
Mr. Chen has a pair of affectionate eyes, thin lips and a high nose, and his gentle bookish air makes people feel close to him.
"What beautiful eyes."
Lu Ming's eyes are clear and innocent, just like the eyes of a fawn.
Master Chen fell in love with these eyes at first sight, and he also had a very fond impression of Lu Ming.
"What's the girl's name?"
Lord Chen asked Li Yuebai who was standing aside.
闺
Li Yuebai was very happy that a woman could win the favor of the county magistrate.
"Zhao Luming means the cry of the deer in the mountains."
"A very fitting name."
"The deer roars, the deer roars, it's really like a deer in the mountains."
Master Chen took out a jade pendant from his sleeve, a jade ring with a deer carved in the middle.
"When I saw the deer croaking, I thought of this jade pendant, the little deer in the mountains."
"Lu Ming is the best match for this jade pendant. Just treat it as a meeting gift for me."
Master Chen handed the jade pendant to Lu Ming.
The jade has no impurities at all. It is a palm-sized round jade with a smooth ring on the outside and a smart and delicate deer carved on the inside.
I don’t know what kind of connection is used between the ring and the deer, but the ring can also rotate inside.
It is a very beautiful and valuable gift.
Li Yuebai and Zhao Laosan looked at each other, hesitating whether to accept this precious meeting gift.
Lu Ming didn't think so much. When he saw such a beautiful thing being handed to him, it was still a gift for him, so he immediately reached out and took it.
"Wow wow wow!"
Mr. Chen is so kind! What a beautiful jade pendant!
Lu Ming's liking was very obvious, and he couldn't put it down while holding the jade pendant.
Lu Ming liked it, and Master Chen was also happy. He gently poked Lu Ming's little face.
"Sir, isn't it too expensive?"
Li Yuebai struggled for a while, but finally spoke cautiously.
It is a great blessing for my daughter to receive a gift from the county magistrate, but the gift is too exquisite and expensive.
The daughter is still young, and she is worried that the child is too young, has a weak destiny, and cannot bear so much blessing.
It is not easy for children to grow up safely.
Master Chen understands Li Yuebai's concerns.
"It doesn't matter, Lu Ming looks like he is very lucky.
, will be able to grow up safely and healthily. "
With the blessing of the county magistrate, there is nothing to worry about.
Li Yuebai happily thanked Lu Ming, "Thank you for the gift you gave to Lu Ming."
"As my Lord says, Lu Ming is blessed."
As soon as Wu Yang entered the room, he noticed several pieces of paper placed in the middle of the table.
The characters on it are vigorous and powerful, and the writing moves like a dragon or a snake.
Even after seeing the calligraphy of so many famous writers, I still marvel at the words on the paper.
"I have only read the book copied by the old gentleman before, and the handwriting is already very thick and round."
"Now that I see the old gentleman's handwriting on the paper, I feel that it was still clumsy."
With the seal script, the thin and hard body is transformed into plump and powerful, the structure is broad and majestic, the bones are strong and majestic, the lines are thick and powerful, and the atmosphere is refined.
What a good calligraphy!
Mr. Zhao smiled sheepishly.
"The old man can only write for a few more years, how can he call it good?"
Mr. Chen picked up a piece of paper and marveled.
"I was amazed by the old gentleman's handwriting before, but now I see his handwriting again and I am impressed."
Mr. Chen didn't understand how such a good handwriting could be buried among the people.
If this were in the capital, such a good word would not be taken over.
Mr. Chen bowed his hands to Mr. Zhao.
Mr. Zhao was startled and quickly avoided it.
This is impossible! How could he accept the courtesy of the county magistrate?
Mr. Zhao looked very panicked, and Mr. Chen quickly explained the reason.
"Old man, when I wrote to you earlier, I thought of coming to visit early, but I was busy with business and it has been delayed so far."
"I have come here today for both public and private reasons. I would like to ask you to be my teacher and teach me and my little disciple how to write."
"This this……"
Master Zhao
The boy was at a loss.
"How can I, a common man, become your master?"
"Of course it's deserved!"
Mr. Chen is respectful and polite. Naturally, everyone would not miss it if they meet him.
"Your handwriting is one of the best even in the capital."
Mr. Chen's calligraphy has already gained quite a reputation in the capital. Now that I have seen Mr. Zhao's calligraphy, I understand what it means that there are mountains outside the mountains and people outside the people.
"Old man, you definitely deserve it!"
"Please teach me, I really want to write such good handwriting!"
Wu Yang turned over and over happily to read the words written by Mr. Zhao.
This is even better than the calligraphy collected at home.
"Just promise me, Master."
Mr. Zhao was so praised that he felt dizzy and could not resist the hospitality. He was so excited that he nodded in agreement.
"As long as you don't dislike it, the old man is happy to serve you."
Mr. Zhao agreed, and Mr. Chen looked happy.
"That's my service. I'm going to worship you as my teacher."
After saying that, he bowed respectfully to Mr. Zhao and quickly recognized his master in front of everyone.
"The master is above, please accept the disciples."
Wu Yang reacted quickly and followed Mr. Chen in bowing to Mr. Zhao.
"The master is here, and I will be worshiped by my disciples."
Mr. Zhao accepted the gift with a confused look on his face, as if he was floating in the clouds, and everything in front of him was like a dream.
The village chief looked on dumbfounded.
Be nice!
Brother Zhao has accepted a county magistrate as his apprentice!
