Chen Guangdi is Chen Fang's younger brother, also from the Chen family. Although he does not serve as an official, his academic prestige is not inferior to Chen Fang's. Because he once served as the head of Songshan Academy in the south of the Yangtze River, although he is idle at home now, he has brought a few disciples studying together.

Now Guozijian Jijiu, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites and several ministers in the court are all from his disciples, and most of the Jiangnan provincial examinations in recent years have been written by his students. It has something to do with him.

Studying with Chen Guangdi, at least they can grasp some direction of review, which is a great opportunity for candidates.

But Chen Guangdi is not so easy to follow. Fan Zijin asked the former master of the academy to recommend him for help, but he couldn't even meet Chen Guangdi. He followed Chen Qian and met twice, but Fan Zijin couldn't catch the other party's eyes. So I haven't been able to do so.

Chen Qian felt that his uncle was glorious, but Qi Haoran didn't think so. He didn't understand any major principles, and he only recognized one point. It happens that they all come from official families and aristocratic families.

Moreover, his disciples' backgrounds are not low. In his opinion, Fan Zijin is no worse than those of his disciples. In terms of knowledge, skills, character, and friendship with Chen Qian, Chen Guangdi could not let Chen Guangdi accept him as his own. It's nothing more than the fact that the Fan family's qualifications and power are not enough.

Qi Haoran came to Chen Qian because he wanted to take a shortcut, and he didn't ask Chen Guangdi to accept Fan Zijin as his way, he just took him to study for four months with peace of mind, and he could still pay this price.

After returning home, Chen Qian went to the study to find his grandfather.

Seeing that he came back after it was dark outside, Chen Fang asked softly, "Did you go out with your colleagues today?"

Chen Qian shook his head and said, "Grandfather, my grandson has something to ask you."

When Chen Qian came out again, he took a letter in his hand. After thinking for a while, he walked towards his father's study, stopped at the gate of the courtyard, and asked, "Where is father inside?"

The old servant guarding the gate bowed and said: "The uncle has already returned to the backyard. It would be fine if the young master asks the uncle to go to the backyard."

Chen Qian nodded nonchalantly, frowned, and said, "I'm here to look for books, and I'm going to use them tonight. I thought my father was here."

The old servant laughed and said, "Young Master, if you want to find a book, just go in straight in, and when you turn around, this old slave will just tell you."

Chen Qian smiled, "There's no need to trouble you, I just need to talk to my father when I go back to say hello to my mother, and you can open the door for me."

Master Chen Qian is the youngest and promising youngest in the family. Not only the uncle, but also the master dotes on him very much. Although he was messing around a bit before, he has improved a lot since he was admitted to Jinshi, so he approached him without any doubts. Open the study door.

Chen Qian went in, asked the servant to watch outside, and lit up the lamp in the study by himself. Chen Qian went to the innermost corner with familiarity, where there was a big bookcase with Yilou's paintings on the top.

Chen Qian gently moved the chair to the bottom and stepped on it. After groping on the cabinet, he opened a mechanism. He hurriedly took out a long box and opened it. There was a painting inside. Chen Qian didn't care. It touched the bottom of the box and pulled out a folded booklet wrapped in silk. He carefully opened it and saw that it was indeed the "Sejong's Admonition Form" put away by his father.

Chen Qian narrowed his eyes with a smile. He wrapped the folder in cloth and stuffed it into his arms, put the box back and covered it, and then carefully moved the chair back to its original position.

Chen Qian casually took a book and went out. The old servant didn't doubt at all, he locked the study room again with a smile, and watched the capable young master leave.

The next day, Chen Qian also wanted to leave the mansion after his grandfather and father went to court. Chen Shu was very puzzled, "You don't have to go to court, why are you in such a hurry?"

Chen Qian is now just a small official in charge of affairs, and he has nothing to do with going to court, and it's not yet time for the yamen to order.

Chen Qian fooled around a few words and hurried to the meeting place agreed with Qi Haoran, he handed the things in his hand to Qi Haoran, and asked: "Haoran, brother, I risked the consequences of offending my father for you. But you must keep your word."

Qi Haoran opened the silk bag and took a look, then said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, when will my words not count?"

Even though he said so, Chen Qian was still terrified, and reassured: "Are you sure that the one in your elder brother's hand is the real one?"

Qi Haoran rolled his eyes and said: "It is covered with a jade seal, do you think it is the real one? Chang'an was originally the capital of my Great Zhou Dynasty. When I fled south in a hurry, I didn't bring out many things from the palace. Emperor Sejong's admonishment table It is estimated that it was left like that. The nobles of the Kingdom of Jin who broke into Chang'an divided up their things. My elder brother rushed into Chang'an City, and more than half of the warehouse of the governor of Jingzhao Mansion in the Kingdom of Jin was emptied. I thought that all the things left were crooked melons and dates. Who knew that I could find this thing in a pile of garbage? Or you are lucky OK."

Qi Haoran raised the silk bag in his hand and said: "The fake one can be exchanged for an authentic one."

Chen Qian yelled at him, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, what kind of fake, this is the famous Confucian Confucian translation of the Sejong Dynasty, and it is said that it is exactly the same as Emperor Sejong's handwriting. If it wasn’t for the jade seal stamped on the authentic work, this thing could be a fake.”

"You also said it was false."

"But this is also something that is hard to come by. In order to grab this thing, my father fought with the old man from the third bedroom of Cui's family. Not only did he emptied his private house, but he also embezzled my mother's dowry... Anyway, I risk it." It took a lot of risk to take it out, you must get it back for me, or my father will really kill me."

Qi Haoran patted him on the shoulder and assured him: "Don't worry, I sent a letter to my elder brother Feige last night, he will receive the letter in a few days, and you only need half a month to receive it It's real."

Chen Qian was a little embarrassed. Although he knew he shouldn't ask, he still couldn't help asking: "Why did you think of using this to bribe my uncle? It is said that if you can get the authentic work, let alone let Zijin study with my uncle, just It's okay for my uncle to accept him as a disciple." This is the reason for his real uneasiness, although Qi Haoran looks silly, but when it comes to Fan Zijin, he doesn't think he will make this mistake.

Qi Haoran squinted at him, "You want to hear the truth?"

Chen Qian nodded.

Qi Haoran sighed and said, "I don't want Zijin to get too involved with the Chen family. Your uncle looks aloof, but I think he is more ambitious than your grandfather. If he worships your uncle as his teacher, I'm afraid it will trip him up." Let him live, anyway, our purpose is just to pass the test, why do we have to worship a master?"

They are going to do rebellious things in the future. Master and father, and things will be exposed in the future. With Chen Guangdi's status and character, he may come forward to suppress Zijin with his identity, but instead put Zijin on the cusp of the storm. Not an idiot, of course wouldn't do such a thing.
