Not only little children, but many people recognize Chen Guhong while walking on the street. They salute and call him Xianggong. No one regards Chen Guhong as a child anymore.

In this atmosphere, Chen Guhong, led by the yamen runners, entered the county yamen.

Chen Yuan cared very much about the talents produced in the county. Shortly after Chen Guhong came back from the Huangshan Poetry Conference that day, he was found by Chen Yuan. He encouraged him a few words and gave him some silver and some meat.

He also said that this is the concern of the elders and is a private gift.

Afterwards, Chen Guhong went to and from the county yamen several times and wrote chapters in front of Chen Yuan, which was deeply loved by Chen Yuan. This time he was also skilled and soon arrived at the Houyamen.

In the courtyard, Chen Yuan stood in a long body in a Confucian shirt. He was in his thirties and was very elegant and elegant. A beautiful woman stood beside her, with a graceful figure, white skin, and looked very soft.

Chen Yuan was an official from another place, and his wife was weak and sick, so he did not bring her. This one by her was the concubine.

All the yamen call Mrs. Teng.

"Students have met the teacher."

Chen Guhong stepped forward to pay homage, and then said to Mrs. Teng, "Mrs. Teng." Mrs. Teng smiled slightly, gave a bow, and called "Ziyu."

"I'll go make tea." Then Mrs. Teng told Chen Yuan.

"Okay." Chen Yuan smiled and nodded at Chen Guhong, and then said to Mrs. Teng. At this time, there were several seats in the courtyard. Chen Yuan said to Chen Guhong: "Sit."

"Thank you to sit down."

Chen Guhong responded and knelt down.

"Do you know what I'm looking for you today?" Chen Yuan asked after sitting down, his face a little positive.

"I don't know." Chen Guhong shook his head honestly.

"I heard that you have recently opened a wide-opening of the door and communicated with scholars from all walks of life?" Chen Yuan asked.

"That's right." Chen Guhong still nodded honestly.

"Then do you know the county examination only three months later?" Chen Yuan's tone became a little stern.

Chen Guhong suddenly realized in his heart, but it turned out that he was worried that the county examination was approaching. I communicated and met with scholars frequently, which affected my studies. He couldn't help but feel a little warm, "This county magistrate really cared for me." Thinking of this, Chen Guhong said respectfully, "Report to the teacher, the student just now posted a piece of paper on the door, which said that he was preparing for the county examination and thanking guests in the door."

"You can teach me." Chen Yuan's face slowed down when he heard this and exclaimed.

"Tea!"

At this time, Mrs. Teng returned, followed by a beautiful maid, holding two cups of good tea. Mrs. Teng took the tea one after another and placed it on the table in front of Chen Yuan and Chen Guhong.

"Thank you, madam." Chen Guhong said.

"You're welcome." Mrs. Teng smiled, then retreated behind Chen Yuan.

After taking a sip of tea, Chen Yuan's face showed a relaxing look. After savoring it, he asked, "How is the chapter written?"

"Report to the teacher, it's done very smoothly." Chen Guhong replied.

"That's good." Chen Yuan showed satisfaction and exclaimed: "Your chapters are absolutely good. Even if you put them in the imperial examination and palace examination, they are outstanding. As long as you are not negligent, and the county examination chief examiner is me, you will definitely pass. But because of this, your goal should not be to a small scholar, but to a juren, or even a Jinshi."

After saying that, Chen Yuan sighed: "I was only twenty-eight years old when I passed the Jinshi exam, and my ranking was low. I was 32 years old this year and I have been a county magistrate in two places. Although I have obtained the official status, my future achievements are not great. If you have talent, the sooner you pass the Jinshi exam, the future prospects are limitless."

"yes."

Chen Guhong didn't care about any official status at all, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense in front of the county magistrate, so he responded respectfully. After that, Chen Yuan encouraged and nagged a few more words, and Chen Guhong listened.

Finally, Chen Yuan ordered his servants to prepare some food and sent Chen Guhong away.

After leaving the yamen, Chen Guhong kept two kilograms of pork and a basket of eggs, showing a leisurely look.

"I have a county magistrate as my backer, and I have done a good job in Zhangju. Isn't the scholar easy to get it?" Haha, Chen Guhong walked and wandered back home.

The brain produces the soul, mysterious and intelligent. He is really confident. After returning home, Chen Guhong was impatient to write chapters and sentences. He looked around and saw that there was nothing to do, and he saw a small piece of open space in his own courtyard.

As soon as he opened his mind, he took a hoe to reclaim the fields.

"Young Master, why did you pick up the hoe?" Yuanyuan covered her mouth in surprise when she saw Chen Guhong farming.

"Don't you know that studying is a matter of elegant work?" Chen Guhong said dissatisfied. In fact, he was just passing the time.

"I've never heard of it." Yuanyuan shook her head and said.

"Short-sighted." Chen Guhong hummed, then went to farm intently, and ordered Yuanyuan to buy seeds, fetch water himself, buried the rapeseed grains into the soil, spoonful of water, and watered the fields one spoonful of spoonfuls.

One afternoon, the open space in the house turned into a small vegetable garden. Chen Guhong looked very satisfied.

"I think Zhuge Kongming is really happy to farm in Nanyang and hold his knees and whistle in the mountains and forests. On the contrary, after becoming an official in Liu Bei, he died with great effort. It's really worth it for him."

Today, my sister and brother-in-law were not at home and came back in the evening. She was shocked when she saw the fields in the house. Especially my sister, she even scolded Chen Guhong for being troublesome.

It almost adds the words "dog and rat".

He scolded Chen Guhong very innocently, and he tried to persuade him, and then he used the excuse of the elegant affairs, and then he was able to escape and save the errand of farming at home.

In this way, Chen Guhong wrote about preparing for a county examination and thanking guests behind closed doors. However, he did not read books and just enjoyed farming. Time passed day by day, and the vegetables on the fields grew very well.

Green and very strong, looking at the beautiful and delicious food makes people feel drooled.

When the dishes grew, Chen Guhong pulled out a few plants and ordered Yuanyuan to cook, eat a few bites, and praised it as refreshing. It was another big and small pleasure.

In a blink of an eye, more than a month has passed. There are still fifty or sixty days left before the county examination. Chen Guhong's family can't finish eating the vegetables, and many of them were sent to the neighbors by his sister.

Chen Guhong couldn't grow it anymore, so he couldn't stay at home. The sun shone brightly on this day and it was not hot. Spring and summer are the best time to go out.

Chen Guhong couldn't help but wear a thin Confucian shirt, cloth shoes, raw towels, naughty Yuanyuan, brought an umbrella, and some dry food to go out for a trip.

When going outings, you see the grass and smell the fragrance. The city is a vulgar and merciless place, which has nothing to do with outings. Therefore, Chen Guhong's goal is to the south of the city.

About twenty miles south of Chengyangcheng County is a big river. The river goes eastward into the sea and is called Hongjiang.
