Chu Hui felt that he was a good drinker, so he probably didn't bother others to take care of him. He must have gone to bed and slept well. He really listened to Liu Zi's soft words and forgot everything after returning home last night.

After the meal, Luo Zhen, who loves poetry, came. He now pretends to be an elder brother, and wanted to invite Chu Huiqian to Hualou, but he didn't expect to be rejected.

"Brother Luo, forgive me, I... really don't have much time" to have fun. Now even this small courtyard is rented. Winter is coming. I haven't bought cotton-padded clothes yet, and I have to buy more quilts. Who has the time to recite poems? Yes, Chu Hui rejected Luo Zhen's invitation immediately, so she should draw two more paintings.

The expression on Luo Zhen's face froze for a moment, and then he smiled again: "Brother Chu, don't worry, you can draw some more pictures and give them to me."

Now Chu Hui couldn't agree more: "A gentleman loves money, and he gets it in a proper way. Brother Luo, you and I are in a relationship today, how can we earn your money again?"

Luo Zhen laughed loudly when he heard the words: "Haha...Brother Chu is worrying too much. I just need to copy the poems from the paintings. I didn't buy your paintings."

Chu Hui was taken aback for a moment: "Brother Luo, what do you mean, is this painting going to be sold to others?"

"Brother Chu has such a great talent, don't you just want to be a small painter and sell paintings for a living?" Luo Zhen asked calmly.

Chu Hui opened his mouth to answer, and glanced at Liu Ziqing not far away inadvertently, yes, I just want to live my own life, but I also hope that Ziqing can give Ziqing the life he wants: "Chu Hui is dull , and ask Brother Luo for advice."

Chapter 12

Since the new emperor came to the throne, Anguo has opened Enke widely. All men who have reached the age of 14 can take the boy's test every two years. After they are 16 years old, they can directly take the talent test every year. Participate in the Juren Examination, which takes place every three years, and if you pass the exam this time, you will be considered to have really entered the official career.

However, there are exceptions. Men who have reached the age of eighteen and have never passed the boy's examination can also participate in the scholar examination after being recommended. He, Qian Su and Li Feng are the scholars who passed the examination this year. Three of them passed the exam.

Luo Zhen withdrew his thoughts: "With Brother Chu's talent, it's not difficult to be a scholar next spring. You should work harder on weekdays, and next autumn you can go to the exam with us and you will be able to step into the officialdom."

Chu Hui was a little lost for a while, is this the only way? It seems that she knows nothing else, but the key is that she doesn't know anything about the exams here: "Brother Luo really thinks highly of me, let's forget about the imperial examination." Bar."

Luo Zhen was not discouraged either, this was just a casual mention, he put aside his plans for the time being, it is uncertain whether this person will be useful or not, there were some traces of calculating on his face, he said again: "That's right, That's all for the future, but right now, brother, there is still a plan to solve the urgent need."

Chu Hui's dim eyes lit up again: "Brother Luo, please tell me quickly."

"Your paintings are much better now than before, and you must be able to sell them for a better price. Miss Tao has always wanted to ask for a few, why don't we go to her to have a look?"

"This...isn't that good," Chu Hui said in a bit of embarrassment, always feeling a little embarrassed to earn a girl's money.

Luo Zhen raised his eyebrows: "Brother Chu, where are you going? Naturally, we are not going to Xiao Xiangtao's purse when we are waiting for a good man. Then you just follow my orders. Now go write a poem about the marriage of men and women, and protect you for my brother." It can easily be sold for hundreds of taels of silver.”

Chu Hui first agreed in doubt. Could it be that love poems are popular in this era? She went back to her room in doubt, and found a somewhat related "Poetry of Falling Flowers" in her mind.

The peach blossoms are clean and the apricot flowers are empty, and the bloom and fall are about the same every year.

Since the festival is approaching at the end of March, why should people hate the wind at the fifth watch.

The eaves rushed straight to break the curtains and clothes, and the top was built like a brocade red.

Pick it up to Luluofang Pali, a pair of mandarin ducks are in the middle.

One painting had two lines of poems, and after the four paintings were completed, they specially copied the poems for Luo Zhen, and then the two of them got ready to go find Tao Yuran.

When going out with Luo Zhen, Chu Hui habitually explained to Mother Liu and then pushed open the door. Just as he stepped into the carriage, Liu Ziqing's voice unexpectedly came from behind him.

"Brother Chu, can you take a step to speak?"

Chu turned around, glanced at Luo Zhen who seemed to understand, and walked towards Liu Ziqing: "What's wrong with Ziqing?"

Liu Ziqing was originally focused on reading, and didn't care when she saw that the man was going out, but when her mother whispered in her ear that the man was going to Hualou, she immediately stood up, followed in small steps to the door, and treated others After approaching, he said softly: "A gentleman can do whatever he can, don't be greedy for a drink"

Chu Hui originally thought it was something important. She used to complain that no one told her to go out, but now she was a little embarrassed. Of course she knew what not to do. For a moment, her ears turned red: "Don't worry, Ziqing. Will be back sooner, no alcohol today”

"Hmm" I didn't think so at first, after the two of them said these few words, Liu Ziqing also felt inexplicably warm in her ears, she nodded her head, "Mmm", then turned around and went back to the courtyard without looking back.

In the carriage, Luo Zhen looked at Chu Hui, who looked like a teenager, and remembered that this man was still yelling that he must go home after he was drunk. He said with a joke: "Why? Miss Liu told you to go home."

Chu Hui's ears, which had already faded from the heat, turned red for a moment: "No, I know it without saying it lightly."

"Brother Chu is so afraid of the inside, the eldest brother is going to say you, we are good men, how can we be like a girl who never lives outside?" Luo Zhen said with some earnestness.

Chu Hui looked up, opened his mouth to say something, but finally said: "What the elder brother said is true, the younger brother has been taught."

He lowered his eyes, but there was a bit of slander in his heart, it's not true, he's a good boy even if he's flirtatious, besides, she's not afraid of guilt, Ziqing and her don't have that kind of relationship at all, what's more, don't say that she is a girl, even if He is really a man, and he will not live outside, so how can he be judged by these wrong standards.

But what will happen if you talk to Luo Zhen about these words, I am afraid that you will appear to be a different kind of person. What you are proud of is that there are several people bustling together in the carriage.And I just want two people to share a horse.

The carriage stopped slowly. Chu Hui, who had already been here once, was still not used to the atmosphere here. When he came to the private room upstairs, he just sat down when he saw a familiar person come in and say hello: "Brother Luo, third brother , it’s really a life where we don’t meet each other.”

The corner of Chu Hui's mouth twitched, this man is really everywhere: "Brother Qian...no...Second Brother" I wanted to laugh, but I couldn't help it.

"I don't know why you are looking for Miss Tao, why don't you tell me first."
