Chapter 68 Punishment
At the end of the dinner, at Chen Heng's request, I only had one Yangzhou fried rice to deal with it. The Yangzhou fried rice at this time did not have the fancy condiments that Chen Heng remembered.
Instead of calling it Yangzhou fried rice, Chen Heng thought it was closer to egg fried rice. In fact, this dish has been popular among the people in Yangzhou since the end of the previous dynasty. Because it is simple to make and has oily smoke, it is very popular among the people.
After dinner, Chen Heng drove Daiyu out of the room. It was getting late and it was not good for a little girl like her to stay here too long.
Lying back on the bed peacefully, Chen Heng raised his fist above his head and smiled unconsciously on his face. Fortunately, his hard work was not in vain.
Just thinking about going back to the academy tomorrow, he couldn't help but grimace, and he didn't know what punishment he would get if he went back this time. With Xue Biao interceding on his behalf, he probably wouldn't be kicked out of the academy.
Chen Heng was somewhat nervous, but if he thought about it carefully, it was just a matter of striking out. I simply hugged the quilt and fell asleep, feeling that if something happened tomorrow I would worry about it tomorrow, so I had a good sleep tonight and didn't know how to live or die.
Anyway, he made up his mind that if he really wanted to be kicked out by the academy, he would hold Uncle Lin's lap and cry a few times, trying to move all their books back to Shanxi Village.
After a comfortable night, Chen Heng woke up from bed when the sun was shining brightly the next morning. His mouth was dry. As soon as he got out of bed and went to the bedside to pick up the teapot, the servant's voice came from outside.
"Master, are you awake?"
Master? Did you call me? Chen Heng's body trembled, and he felt that he couldn't bear it anymore. He quickly said to the people outside: "No, no, no, no, please call me Xiaolang."
The servant opened the door with a smile and came in without arguing. He first asked Chen Heng if he wanted to wash up first or eat first.
When Chen Heng heard that he could take a shower first, he immediately chose this option. He was really smelly. The servant promised with a smile and left quickly, and soon three or five people came in carrying a bathtub.
Chen Heng saw that there was still heat coming out from above, and there was still room to wait there. He just waved away their desire to rub their backs, stripped off his clothes and jumped into the bathtub.
This time, Chen Heng was relieved. Of course there is a bathing place in the academy, but you have to prepare hot water yourself. However, the bathhouses in the academy are small and crowded, so most people are still willing to spend more than ten pennies to take a bath in a bathhouse on the street.
Yes, there is also a bathhouse in Yangzhou. The name is not surprising. It is called Jiangnan Bathhouse. It is half a street away from the academy and is very popular among the teachers and students of the academy.
The most domineering name among the bathhouses is the bathhouse in Tongzhou, which is called Tengwang Pavilion Bathhouse. When Chen Heng read it in Xue Biao's idle book, he also felt that it was outrageous.
After taking a quick shower, Chen Heng soon discovered an embarrassing thing. He didn't bring any clothes.
"Master, my wife has ordered me to bring your clothes. Can I give them to you now?"
Have you been waiting for this moment at the door? Chen Heng coughed and had no choice but to accept his fate and said: "Work hard, work hard."
After the servant put away his clothes and left, Chen Heng hurriedly left the bathtub and put his clothes on without any hesitation.
I wouldn’t know it if I didn’t wear it, but I would be shocked when I wear it. Chen Heng looked at himself in green clothes and jade belt in the mirror, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Aunt Lin is really good at judging people. When she makes money in the future, she must buy clothes like this. Chen Heng smiled, tied his hair into a simple bun, put the jade hair crown specially prepared by the other party on his head, and passed a white tooth hairpin through the gap in the middle of the crown.
After finishing dressing, Chen Heng stepped on his boots and walked out of the room. The previous servant was still waiting at the door, and when he came out, he led him to the front hall.
Walking all the way to the place where they had eaten, Jia, who had received the news in advance, pulled Daiyu and said to Chen Hengfu who walked in, "Heng'er, Jue'er's matter is really troublesome. Auntie, I really don't know how to thank you. …”
Chen Heng dared to accept the gift from their mother and daughter, so he hurriedly hid to one side, not daring to take credit: "Auntie, you don't have to be like this. Speaking of this, it was a coincidence. I just happened to hear from a classmate that his master is a A man with superb medical skills.”
Lin Ruhai, who was reading at the side, put down the book and stood up, but his eyes glanced up and down at Chen Heng on the other side, and said with a smile: "So you will drag the Xin family man with you overnight and run back and forth from Yangzhou to Gusu in ten days?"
Chen Heng smiled sheepishly and could only say: "This is the first time I have done such an outrageous thing. Speaking of which, my nephew has something to ask for. Over at the academy, can I ask my uncle to come forward and help me accommodate? "
"You know you're afraid now?" Lin Ruhai blinked at him, pretending to be helpless, "I'm afraid it's not easy for me to show up. When Commander Xin rushed to your academy with a sword, he was chased by your mountain leader with a ruler. Half a street."
"Is this happening???" Chen Heng was also a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect that his mountain chief was so fierce and dared to hit a general with a ruler.
"That's right." Lin Ruhai tried her best to hold back her laughter.
Daiyu finally couldn't stand it anymore and explained hurriedly: "Dad!! You told mother earlier, but Uncle Xin wanted to punch Mei Xuezheng, so he was beaten by the mountain chief."
"Ha ha ha ha"
Seeing that Lin Ruhai finally couldn't hold back her laughter, Jia quickly came forward to greet Chen Heng, "Heng'er, don't listen to your uncle's nonsense. You don't have to worry about the things at the academy, your uncle will help you. You're hungry. Well, what do you want to eat? Tell your aunt and she will make it for you. "
After Chen Heng said this several times, the matron of the house, who was still looking tired but already radiant, gave up her enthusiasm and ordered people to start preparing lunch.
Lin Ruhai picked up the book he had just read halfway. Daiyu glanced at her parents, came to Chen Heng, and whispered, "Brother, I knew you would look good in this suit."
Chen Heng finally reacted and asked in surprise, "Did you choose it?"
Daiyu wrinkled her nose, "Of course, my mother has been worrying about my brother's affairs recently, how can I trouble her with such a thing."
She wore a white dress today, with bangs on her forehead, her hair slightly coiled on one side, and only a gold silk headband for simple fixing, and there were three or five small braids hanging down along her ears. White clothes and white skirts are already picky, but her skin is already three points whiter than snow, and the white light from the window shines into the hall, making her skin color more transparent.
Chen Heng couldn't help but take another look, so he turned his head and looked at the book in Lin Ruhai's hand, and asked quietly: "What book is your father reading?"
Who knows that Daiyu said directly: "I will borrow it tomorrow and send it to the academy for you."
"..."
Chen Heng was stunned. Is this Lin family a little too enthusiastic?

After lunch, Lin Ruhai got on the carriage and escorted Chen Heng back to the academy. The conversation between the two was mostly about Lin Ruhai studying Chen Heng's homework, and the latter also took the opportunity to talk about the questions he collected when reading "Salt and Iron Theory".
Time was short, Lin Ruhai just said a few words to give a general idea, and before Chen Heng got off the car, he told him to go directly to the Lin Mansion to find him next time he had a day off.
Chen Heng kept this in mind, and with a little uneasiness in his heart, he stepped into the academy after eleven days away.
At noon, everyone was resting. Chen Heng went back to the bedroom directly. Seeing that he came back safely, everyone in the room came up and surrounded him with smiles.
"Good for you, brother Heng. You didn't tell your elder brother about this kind of thing. It seems that you have forgotten the friendship between us." Jiang Yuanbai walked around him and kept complaining, "It's true that clothes make the man, and when brother Heng puts on this dress, he is no less than brother Ke."
"Don't talk nonsense. Brother Xue is like a jade-faced gentleman with a compelling demeanor. How can we, the light of a firefly, compare with him." Chen Heng waved his hand exaggeratedly, signaling Jiang Yuanbai to let him go.
Xue Ke raised his hand and stood on Chen Heng's back from the back, "Don't say strange things. How are you? Why did he come back yesterday, but you waited for another day?"
Chen Heng hurriedly told everyone about his day and night of coma at the Lin family. Only then did everyone understand the hardships of Chen Heng's journey. Qian Dayou said with lingering fear: "I saw Su Zhao was fine yesterday, and I thought you were just going out for fun, but I didn't expect you would be so hard-working."
"Is the matter resolved?"
Chen Heng nodded at Xue Ke, showing a big smile, "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. It is a good thing that has been worked hard. By the way, where is Brother Su Zhao?"
"He was punished by the headmaster to weed the courtyard." Jiang Yuanbai showed a bit of weirdness on his face, and patted Chen Heng's shoulder with distress, "You should change your clothes quickly, I think you can't escape this punishment."
Chen Heng had expected it in his heart, but he said with regret: "It's Brother Su Zhao who was implicated."
"Hey, Brother Su Zhao, why don't you call me Brother Yuanbai. Brother Heng, we are all classmates, you can't be partial."
"Get out." Chen Heng smiled and pushed Jiang Yuanbai, took off his clothes directly, and prepared to go to the headmaster to accept punishment.
I want to ask if there are any book friends who have more time and are more rigorous, and can help me correct the typos in my future articles. I think there are too many typos, and the reading experience is always not very good.
Students are preferred, and their Chinese scores should not be too low!!!
