Chapter 40: The Incompetent
Closing the memory book, Chu Xian in the Shenhai Library shook his head and said: "It's a pity, this time you have become my roadblock, I have no choice but to kick you away, in my life, there are too many things to do, and people who don't matter matter can't be careful, I'm sorry." ”
In the study house, Chu Xian returned to his senses, the Shenhai Library for an hour, outside, it was only a breath of time, at this moment Chu Xian bowed his hand and said, "I don't know what to call this brother?"
Chu Xian is going to dig a pit for Zhou Fang.
Don't look at Zhou Fang, it doesn't look easy to mess with, but in fact, to Chu Xian, he is like a sheep against a vicious wolf, and he has almost no power to fight back.
However, this sheep still doesn't know it, and thinks that he is the powerful one, and he is the evil wolf.
With a sneer, Zhou Fang looked Chu Xian up and down, and said: "I know you, you are the first in the township examination this year, but you only take one subject, and I have also read your article on one subject and five arts, and it is barely okay, but you must not be complacent because of this, the first student on the list, that's nothing, in the career, you are just a fledgling." If I were you, I should calm down, accumulate slowly, start from a small official, step by step, if you run around, the unlucky one can only be yourself, do you understand?"
The tone is completely preachy.
The meaning is to tell Chu Xian, don't be whimsical, even if there is a chance to climb to the sky, it is better to give up, start from the junior first, one step at a time, otherwise you will only climb higher and fall worse.
"Also, Master Cui just appreciates your talents, and doesn't really want to introduce you directly to the office, to tell you the truth, the adults are just testing your patience and character, if you can't even resist this temptation, how can you be entrusted with important tasks in the future? I say this, you should understand, right? If Lord Cui gives you an official position, you must refuse, so that the adults will really appreciate you, because you know how to advance and retreat, if you don't know how to agree, it is equivalent to falling into a trap, how to do it, you think about it, don't think about it, don't think that there is a shortcut, in this world, there is nothing that is not earned. ”
Zhou Fang estimated that he was afraid that Chu Xian didn't understand, so he whispered again, looking good for you.
If it is a student who has no career experience, he may really be bluffed by this pretending Zhou Fang, although he may not do what Zhou Fang said, but he will definitely be disturbed by his state of mind.
This is also the result of Zhou Fang.
But in Chu Xian's opinion, this method is too pediatric.
Just now, Chu Xian substituted himself into the identity of Cui Huanzhi, if he was Cui Huanzhi, since he was about to take up the post of inspector of the imperial history, he would definitely finalize the candidates for his henchmen before taking office.
Think about it again.
The last time Cui Huanzhi came to him, the second case he said in the form of exam questions was not a case, but a problem that Cui Huanzhi was about to face. Chu Xian knows this better than anyone else, Cui Huanzhi is really like in a dream, he is destined to go to Fengcheng, Suizhou, to investigate that big case.
Chu Xian only knew a thing or two about Fengcheng, and Cui Huanzhi in his dream could only barely do it, but Cui Huanzhi knew afterwards that he had not really solved the case.
At best, it's just a matter of finding out a substitute for the dead.
In short, the matter of Fengcheng involves too much, there are too many things hidden under the water, and it is even more dangerous, I remember that Cui Huanzhi in the dream once told Chu Xian that Fengcheng investigated the case, he was nine deaths, and in the end, although there was a result, Cui Huanzhi also knew that he was just finding out an illusion thrown by a mastermind behind the scenes.
Even Chu Xian in the dream knew very little about this matter. So there is such a problem waiting to be overcome, and if you are Cui Huanzhi, you will definitely bring a subordinate who can really come in handy, rather than an incompetent person.
If he is Cui Huanzhi and deliberately leaves two candidates in the same room, this must have a deep meaning in itself. If you continue to think along this line of thought, you can come up with a guess.
Cui Huanzhi, is he testing the two candidates?
Chu Xian didn't pay attention to Zhou Fang, but quickly glanced at the study.
The layout of the house, the furnishings, the calligraphy and paintings on the walls, the pen and ink on the table, and even the miscellaneous objects on the floor, everything can be seen.
In an instant, Chu Xian invaded the Shenhai Library, and then used the seawater under his feet to conjure up a study room that was exactly the same as the outside world, including Zhou Fang, who was standing opposite, with a look of disdain and hostility.
"The pen and ink in the room seem to have just been used, and there is a pair of ink on the wall that has not yet dried, and it is written with four words, which were obviously written and hung up not long ago. Chu Xian muttered to himself, and then in the conjured study, he took a few steps forward, and walked closer to look at the word carefully.
There is a line of small print written in the place where the words are written, and if you don't look carefully, you won't notice it at all.
"It's been three moments, between the sun and the moon. ”
There are only these eight words.
If you just look at the literal meaning, it is obviously bullshit, it is nothing, and you can still understand it at three moments, just like it is now two moments of your own time, and it will take a while to reach your own three moments, which indicates time.
The 'sun and moon' in the back is a little inexplicable, especially with the previous four words, which are not related to the wind and horses at all, and have nothing to do with it.
But who is Chu Xian?
He just pondered it and knew what was going on.
"Sure enough, it was a test. ”
In Chu Xian's heart, he also had to admire Cui Huanzhi's means, naturally, the words on the wall were written by Cui Huanzhi, it stands to reason that Zhou Fang is familiar with this place, there are more things and less things here, he is the easiest to find out at the first time, but unfortunately, this Zhou Fang is now focusing on himself, but ignoring what should really be paid attention to.
It's ridiculous.
However, this Zhou Fang still doesn't know it, and he is still 'scarering' Chu Xian, hoping to interfere with Chu Xian with this kind of unpopular means.
Next, Chu Xian listened, Zhou Fang said, relatively harmonious, but when it was about to be three o'clock in time, Chu Xian suddenly got up, and then arched his hand and said: "What Brother Tai said is very true, after thinking about it, I feel that I still lack something, so I will say goodbye first, if Master Cui comes after a while, please bother Brother Tai to let me know." ”
Zhou Fang was overjoyed when he heard it.
He said that he was dry, and finally it had an effect, this kid who had never seen the world was cowardly, which was also normal, after all, back then, after he was transferred to the Tribute Academy, he was trembling, cautious, any little official could call him, he was like this back then, and the kid in front of him must be the same.
"It's good to figure it out, then you can go, remember, the road is to go step by step, don't be ambitious, wait until you're like me, accumulate enough experience, before you can be entrusted with important tasks by Shangguan." At this time, Zhou Fang was teaching earnestly.
