Ming Dynasty: I risked my life to teach the prince, the emperor begged me not to die

Chapter 607 Snow Wind Mountain Temple

At the Chen residence, Chen Ce sat quietly in front of the study door, with a thick blanket covering his wheelchair. The wind was blowing coldly outside, and snowflakes kept falling from the sky.

Xiaohua was dancing with a sword in the courtyard, while Madam Wu was standing behind Chen Ce holding the little one in her arms.

"Husband, it's so cold, let's go in."

Chen Ce shook his head. He stared blankly at the little girl dancing with a sword in front of him and said with a smile, "My lady, Xiaohua's martial arts are improving more and more."

Madam Wu: “Ah?”

She looked into the courtyard in confusion, but saw nothing.

"What little flower?"

Chen Ce: "You, you're even smarter than me..."

Gradually, Chen Ce's eyes became blurry. Xiaohua, who was dancing with a sword in the courtyard, disappeared inexplicably.

He looked back at Madam Wu and saw that she was gone too.

Chen Ce shook his head vigorously, then stood up and walked out...

How come I can walk suddenly?
In the courtyard, there are peach charms and door panels, and white smoke is rising from the kitchen.

Madam Wu came out and said to Chen Ce, "Mr. Chen, you can eat soon."

"Madam, why are you..."

Madam Wu's cheeks suddenly turned red. "What, what madam..."

Chen Ce slammed his head hard again, and walked out, covering his head.

"Mr. Chen, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"

"Why are you covering your head? Are you feeling unwell? I'll go get a doctor."

In front of the courtyard on Zhengyang Street, several little beggars were bullying another little beggar. The little beggar looked at Chen Ce with longing, but Chen Ce felt a headache so much that he shook his head vigorously.

The bullied little beggar could only run away with tears in his eyes.

"Mr. Chen, what's wrong?"

"Xiaohua, what's wrong with Xiaohua?"

Madam Wu asked doubtfully, "Mr. Chen, do you know that little beggar? Do you want me to help you get him back?"

"no no."

Chen Ce covered his head again.

There was endless snow on the road. He kept coughing as he walked towards the capital step by step.

He was so tired and hungry, and had spent all his money. Seeing a mountain temple not far away, he could only walk there alone and curl up inside the temple.

It was freezing cold, and he could only pile up the few dry grasses in the mountain temple and curl up his whole body in it. Although it was still very cold, it was much better after all.

……

"My husband, are you feeling better?"

"You were covering your head just now, what's wrong? Don't scare me."

Mrs. Wu beside him had already burst into tears. Chen Ce stretched out his hand, and Mrs. Wu quickly grabbed his hand: "Husband, what's wrong with you?"

Chen Ce looked ahead again. Xiao Hua was also crying and choked up, "Brother Chen, are you okay?"

The snowflakes were getting bigger and bigger, and everything was becoming so unpredictable. Chen Ce said to Madam Wu, "Pour me a sip of tea."

"it is good!"

He took a sip of the hot water, and when the scalding hot tea entered his mouth, he spat it all out.

"Husband, it's hot, let me blow it for you."

Chen Ce smiled and said, "No need, I'm fine."

Madam Wu then patted her chest and said cautiously, "Just now when I came to see my husband, he kept covering his head and kept saying something wrong. It scared me."

Chen Ce asked Madam Wu, "What's wrong? What do you want to talk to me about?"

Madam Wu said, "Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to call the Marquis of the Zhang family?"

"Our express delivery station will be handed over to the two marquises of the Zhang family."

Chen Ce just remembered it, and said, "Okay, push me to the study." "Yes."

Madam Wu pushed Chen Ce slowly to the study room. The Zhang brothers were sitting in the study room drinking tea. When they saw Chen Ce coming, they smiled and said, "Marquis Tai'an! Chun Jian! You are here?"

"How are you? Are you feeling better? You will definitely get better."

Chen Ce stared at the two brothers blankly and said with a smile: "Thank you."

"The transfer contract for the post station only requires 40% of the income to be given to my wife."

"She also needs to check the account books."

The Zhang brothers laughed and said, "Brother Chunjian, don't you still trust us brothers? We are the most trustworthy!"

Chen Ce smiled and said, "I believe it, just to be sure, you don't mind, right?"

The Zhang brothers said, "Of course I don't mind."

After all, they took 60% of the profits!

After they signed the contract, they left in a hurry.

Chen Ce glanced at Madam Wu and said, "I have left a lot of people for you in the post station. Don't worry that they will break their promise."

Madam Wu shook her head and said, "My husband, our family already has a lot of wealth."

Chen Ce said: "We will have to raise children in the future. It will be impossible to raise such a large family without a steady stream of income."

"I don't want you to go through the hard times you had before."

Madam Wu said, "But that period of time was exactly when I was happiest. It didn't matter whether I was suffering or not. As long as I had my husband by my side, I was happy regardless of whether I had money or not."

"My Lord, Lord Tang is here."

Chen Ce said, "Let him in."

"Here."

Not long after, Tang Yin came over. He came to Chen Ce, took a sip of tea, and said, "Teacher, Wang Shouren encountered a rebellion by refugees in Huguang, but it was quickly suppressed. This is the letter he asked someone to send to you..."

"The Crown Prince has transferred me to the Newspaper and Periodical Department. I am now the Director of the Newspaper and Periodical Department. However, there are still many vacancies below, and the civil servants want to squeeze people in."

"Teacher, are you listening to me?"

"teacher?"

"In the thirteenth year of the Hongzhi reign... a major earthquake occurred in the thirteenth year, not the twelfth year... and the earthquake did not occur in the capital?"

"How could this be?"

"What's going on, what's going on?"

"You, when did you come to Beijing to take the imperial examination?"

Tang Yin: “?”

"Teacher, what are you talking about? Of course I came to Beijing in the spring of the twelfth year of the Hongzhi reign."

No! You were in the capital in the winter of the eleventh year of the Hongzhi reign. You should have been in the capital in the winter of the eleventh year of the Hongzhi reign. Why was it the spring of the twelfth year of the Hongzhi reign?

Chen Ce covered his head and said, "I seem to be hallucinating, Bo Hu, I have been thinking about many things that I have never experienced..."

"Take me to Huaihua Hutong, take me to Huaihua Hutong."

Tang Yin was terrified, and hurried to call Wu Niangzi, saying, "Master's wife, the teacher wants to go to the old house in Huaihua Hutong!"

Madam Wu hurriedly said, "Come here, prepare the sedan chair, prepare the sedan chair!"

"Come on, husband, let's go to Huaihua Hutong and take a walk."

The snow outside was still vast and looked very unreal and empty.

The sedan chair soon arrived at Huaihua Hutong, and Tang Yin pushed Chen Ce into the courtyard.

Chen Ce stared blankly at the empty space in the front yard and asked, "Where is my vegetable garden? Where is this vegetable plot?"

Tang Yin scratched his head: "Teacher, what vegetable garden?"

Chen Ce stared at Madam Wu and said, "Madam, you know, I grow vegetables here!"
