Chu Ci held a discussion meeting on what the Xueshi will do next year. Although the details have not been released yet, the purpose is very clear, that is, to increase the enrollment rate, increase the enrollment rate, and improve the academic style of Zhangzhou Prefecture.

After the meeting, Chu Ci looked at the sky and roughly estimated the time. He thought it should be around four o'clock. The winter is short and the night is long, so it is estimated that the sky will be dark soon.

Chu Ci took out the post sent by the prefect who had sent someone to him, rubbed it in his hand twice, then went back to the back hall to change into casual clothes, and headed to the banquet in a carriage.

At the banquet, Chu Ci and several leaders of Zhangzhou Prefecture met. Their attitude was very enthusiastic. After saying a few words, they began to call brothers and toast Chu Ci continuously.

Chu Ci did not refuse anyone. Whenever the other party gave a reason, he would pick up the wine glass and drink it all. His generous temperament made the others on the table cheer and add wine to Chu Ci in a compliment.

Every time Chu Ci was drunk, they would ask a few questions indirectly. After Chu Ci answered, he began a new round of toasts.

After a few rounds, Chu Ci's head completely fainted. He stood up and wanted to say goodbye, but he fell on the stool because he couldn't bear to drink, then lie on the table and fell asleep.

Seeing this, the other people smiled. Although they had been drinking with them, the four of them would not have been drunk even if they drank one person.

"Oh, come in, Lord Chu is drunk. Take him back and have a rest." The magistrate, who had the lowest status at the table, opened the door and went out, calling Zhang Hu who was eating a mat outside.

When Zhang Hu heard that the master was drunk, he immediately rushed inside, then half-squatted, pulled Chu Ci to his back and left.

These adults have never seen such a straightforward and ignorant servant. After watching him leave, they couldn't help but smile. If they had such a servant, the master must not be smart.

"I think Lord Lin is too worried. This Lord Chu doesn't look like a person with a deep scheming." Look at his appearance at the wine table, he doesn't look like a person who has been hiding in the officialdom for many years. He is clearly a fledgling hunchback.

Blue head.

"This boy should not be underestimated. The fact that he is afraid of by Lord Lin means that his ability is far more than that."

"So what if he has the ability? Since he has come to Zhangzhou Prefecture, he must abide by our rules. Even if he is a dragon, he will have to keep his hands on it when he comes to us."

The person who speaks is very content. In his heart, he is not afraid of not talking about Chu Ci, even if he comes with a few more people like this.

"Be careful." Magistrate Lu said, not knowing if it was an illusion, he always felt that Chu Ci was not such a simple person.

The not simple Chu Ci leaned into the carriage, his face was very rosy with alcohol, but his eyes were not as confused as before. He was obedient to others. He naturally had something to rely on when he could drink one cup after another.

.At the middle of the banquet, he took a hangover pill under the cover of his sleeve, so he was able to stay awake throughout the whole show.

Although Chu Ci didn't know what they were selling in the gourd, he showed his diligence in his work without any reason - either being traitor or a thief, and always staying alert and appropriate suspicion to stand firm in the officialdom.

...

It was New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye. Early in the morning, the officials of the Tixue Department came to the Tixue Department, put their seals in the box, and handed them to Chu Ci's hands.

Chu Ci put them together with his official seal in a large wooden box, and then Xiao Si lit a bouquet of incense and distributed them to each of his hands.

Chu Ci stood in the main seat with incense, bowed three times to the box, and the other officials followed suit. After the ceremony, Xiao Wu brought the seal, Chu Ci locked the box, and then pasted it on, and the sealing ceremony was held.

This ends.

As soon as the ceremony ended, the serious atmosphere just now turned into relaxed and lively. The officials seemed to have lifted some burden and stood together in groups of three or three to talk about some mundane things.

Chu Ci was also a little happy. The official seal was just like when he sent out his last transcript before, and his body and mind were much more relaxed.

"The sealing ceremony has been completed. You can go home and wait for the seventh day of the first lunar month to open the seal." As soon as Chu Ci finished speaking, everyone bowed to Chu Ci and said goodbye to him, thinking that he would wait for this sentence.

After Chu Ci waited for them to leave, he took Xiao Si and Xiao Wu to inspect the entire Tixue Department, inspected the doors and windows of every place, and called the people who were responsible for the vigil during the Chinese New Year, and told them to go whenever there was any abnormality.

The lecture. After doing all this, Xiaosi and Xiaowu also went home.

Chu Ci turned around and walked towards the back hall. When he arrived at the residence, he took off his official uniform and lay on the bed. In order to rush forward these days, he had never had a good rest. At this time, he felt relaxed and his tiredness immediately

When it came, Chu Ci ignored it and let himself fall asleep regardless of the morning.

"Brother Chang Xiao, what's wrong with this sir?" Fu Mingan closed the door tightly as soon as he came back, and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Chang Xiao thought for a while and said, "The master must be tired. When I got up last night, the third update had passed. The master was still sitting in front of the desk and writing something. It seems that this has been the case these days."

"Then let's whisper and let the sir have a good rest." Fu Ming'an said sensiblely. Although he wanted to ask sir for some questions, he would not choose this time.

Chang Xiao nodded and said, "Brother Dahu is cooking in the kitchen. Let's go and help. When the gentleman wakes up, he will be able to eat directly."

"Um!"

Two small steps left in front of Chuci’s house and headed towards the kitchen…

When Chu Ci woke up, Fu Mingan came over to knock on the door. He knocked twice and opened. When he looked up, his husband was wearing clothes and his hair was slightly messy and looked at him in confusion.

It seems to be asking him about his purpose.

"Sir, it's already Shen Shi. Every household is about to start eating."

Chu Ci was stunned and looked up at the sky. It was indeed evening.

"You go there first, I'll come later."

"Sir, go and take a shower first. Today everyone has to take a shower first and change into new clothes to be considered the New Year." Fu Mingan shook his head. He used to be the same at home.

Chu Ci laughed, it was indeed a child. But looking at his serious look, Chu Ci still did it. I don’t know if it was a mental effect, but Chu Ci really felt a little expectant about this year.

This is his third year in the Great Wei Dynasty. The first time he celebrated the Chinese New Year was with his family. At that time, he was just a scholar, and the family spent a year in harmony with the money he earned from illustrations.

The second time for the New Year was in the capital. At that time, he and Dahu were the only ones. Because the big test was about to come, Chu Ci had no intention of celebrating the New Year. He had just had a simple meal with Dahu, and during this period he was still allowed to

The big tiger cried loudly.

The third time is now. Chu Ci decided to avoid that sensitive topic this year, otherwise he would not be able to coax the three of them to cry together this time.

However, some things cannot be avoided. During the meal, someone recalled the scene of celebrating the New Year at home, and before he could describe it carefully, Fu Mingan started crying.

He lowered his head and cried silently, looking pitiful and helpless. Chu Ci felt soft. After all, he was an eleven-year-old child. He left his family alone and followed his husband to study in a foreign land. He could bear it until now and cried.

, very strong.

Chu Ci hugged him to his side, spread his arms and tightly covering him, wanting to give him a little sense of security.

Fu Mingan snuggled in this not-so-wide embrace, and his nose couldn't help but become sore again. Let him be weak again today.
Chapter completed!
