Chapter 51 51: Meeting the Fox
(It’s a new week, please support me!)
It was still early, so Chen Jin was arranged to rest in a small courtyard.
Although the house is small, it has an elegant layout and a small garden.
Spring is here, and some varieties of flowers in the garden are blooming in the wind and rain. They are yellow, red, and purple, and have a faint fragrance.
Chen Jin is not a person who cares about form, but it is undeniable that some beautiful forms can always make people feel refreshed, happy and comfortable.
This is in line with the practice method of "visualization and induction".
He couldn't help but think of his small house and the vegetables he planted...
There is no need to worry about Wangcai and Laolang. They are both extremely spiritual and will never be hungry.
And having them guard the house is equivalent to having two household gods, and they are not afraid of being stolen.
In fact, there was nothing worth remembering in the house. The only things worth a little money were books, pens, ink, and paper.
Sitting in front of the window, looking at the rain falling continuously, Chen Jin clearly realized that the thoughts in his mind were actually distracting thoughts.
Distracting thoughts are like mosquitoes in the gutter, and like weeds in the mountains, they can never be cut away.
In order to refine many distracting thoughts, each sect has its own corresponding practice methods, which can be suppressed, channeled, or cut off...
To a certain extent, human practice is a process of fighting against distracting thoughts and delusions.
The purpose of the method Chen Jin learned is two sentences:
"Consciousness enters the sea as a fish, and thoughts emerge from the water as a dragon to call rain."
It has the meaning of "the unity of nature and man, seeking each other with the same energy".
To put it simply, distracting thoughts are not regarded as wild beasts, but as part of the human consciousness.
Distracted thoughts can be a useful supplement to the spiritual thoughts.
As long as the distinction is clear and the control is good, that's all.
There was a rumble, it was spring thunder.
The sound of thunder can be beneficial in that it can frighten ghosts, destroy illusions, and help people wake up.
So Chen Jin lay down on the bed, closed his eyes and rested his mind. The thoughts in his mind disappeared for a moment.
Outside the window, a figure appeared, hiding in the dark and peeping.
But Chen Jin seemed to be asleep and didn't notice.
……
Zhang Tong took a nap in the side hall, and when he woke up, it was already afternoon.
Fortunately, there is a pot of charcoal fire in the hall, which is quite warm, so you won't get cold even if you fall asleep unconsciously.
It's already time for the dinner banquet.
Zhang Tong walked out, poked his head around, and saw many classmates from the county school and other familiar students.
But Chen Jin was not seen.
Did he leave and leave Hujiazhuang?
Or was he valued by Mr. Hu and became a real VIP?
Zhang Tong didn't know, and it was hard to find anyone to ask.
The dinner was still sumptuous, with lots of people drinking and drinking, and it was very lively.
This time, it was no longer two people per table, but eight people.
Sitting in his seat, Zhang Xiucai was inexplicably lonely, not in high spirits and didn't eat much.
During this period, Hu Yuanwai appeared, toasted to everyone, and told a regrettable news.
He said, "There is no banquet in the world that must come to an end." From now on, Hujiazhuang will no longer hold spring flowers and autumn banquets.
Everyone sighed.
Zhang Tong felt even more depressed.
For him, being able to come to a banquet is not only delicious and delicious, but also a rare opportunity to socialize.
Although, he is not good at this.
But the scene has been provided.
Zhang Tong suddenly thought that Mr. Hu stopped hosting banquets. Although he did not give the reason, it was not difficult to guess that the recruitment of a son-in-law must have been successful.
Chen Jin, it must be him!
Didn’t he keep saying that he wouldn’t get married?
Say one thing and do another?
Or maybe the conditions given by Hu Yuanwai are too good?
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Hu Yuanwai is no ordinary rich man. Not only is he rich, but he also has an indescribable sense of nobility.
Rumors spread from the outside world that the Hu family came from the capital and had very big heels. In this case, it would not be unacceptable to be Hu's son-in-law, even if he was a wife.
What's more, I heard that Miss Hu is a beautiful woman, knowledgeable about books and etiquette, and is a first-class good match...
Zhang Xiucai was confused.
Emotionally confused, he drank to drown his sorrows. He got drunk for the first time in his life. In the end, he was put into a carriage by Hu Sange and sent home, but he still didn't wake up.
……
At nightfall, the banquet ends and everyone disperses.
Hujiazhuang, which was bustling and noisy during the day, became deserted and felt lonely and quiet.
The storm has not stopped yet.
A spring rain like this, once it starts, will never end.
It's getting late, it's Hai hour.

I saw Brother Hu coming over holding an umbrella in one hand and a lantern in the other.
He came to the door, stood still, raised his hand and knocked on the door: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen, are you awake?"
Chen Jin got up and came over to open the door: "I just woke up."
Brother Hu said apologetically: "Mr. Chen, it's all a small mistake. I forgot you here and didn't come to invite you to the banquet. You deserve to die."
Chen Jin smiled: "It's just a meal, why do we need to live and die?"
Hu Sange smiled apologetically: "Master Chen, you really have a lot of money. My master has invited you."
Raise the umbrella to prevent Chen Jin from getting wet.
After a while, we came to the main hall again.
The lights were brightly lit here, and Mr. Hu was sitting at the top, his eyes blazing, as if he was a different person. He is no longer a wealthy man with a smiling face, but a powerful man with authority, and a sense of majesty.
He walked down and praised: "Mr. Chen is neither arrogant nor impetuous, nor frightened nor fearful. His Qi-nurturing skills are truly remarkable."
Chen Jin blinked: "I was just too sleepy and overslept."
Hu Yuanwai: "..."
Somehow, facing the young man in front of him, he felt a little confused and couldn't control himself.
It makes no sense.
He has seen many people in his life, but this is the first time he has encountered such a situation.
He immediately asked: "Mr. Chen, are you hungry?"
Chen Jin replied with a smile: "I ate too much at noon, so I'm not hungry. It's better to go and see your wife first. It's not easy to eat if you don't see anyone."
Hu Yuanwai clapped his hands and said: "Come on, Mr. Chen, please come with me to the back house."
Chen Jin followed, but Brother Hu did not move and stayed outside.
If there are women in the back house of the house, ordinary people are not allowed to enter and are not invited.
From the main hall to the back house, there is a corridor. There are lights hung at intervals on the corridor, which is very bright.
As Hu Yuanwai walked away, he said: "Mr. Chen, I have something to say ahead of time. I hope you won't be offended."
"But it doesn't matter."
"Perhaps you have heard others say that the daughter of the Hu family is pretty, but that is not the case. The appearance of the little girl is, well, hard to describe in words, and may even scare you. So Mr. Chen, you'd better be mentally prepared."
Chen Jin nodded and said: "Since I dare to go out on a study tour alone, if nothing else, I am quite courageous."
"Very good. I really saw the right person."
Member Hu said happily.
Soon, the two came to a boudoir.
Hu Yuanwai stretched out his hand to push open the ajar door and called out: "Xi'er, I've invited the teacher, please come and see me quickly."
There was a person lying on the bed, covered with a quilt. When he heard the sound, he stood up, wore a wide embroidered dress, walked up to Chen Jin, and said a blessing in a dignified manner: "Xi'er has met the teacher."
Chen Jin looked up at her. She was furry, with erect ears and a pointed mouth, and a pair of narrow vertical pupils.
It is not a lady, but a fox.
Thanks to book friend "Liu Shui Song Zen" for the thousand-coin reward, as well as "9633", "3162", etc. for their generous rewards.
And the adoptive fathers who voted for the monthly feeding.
This book did not attract much attention in the early stage, but the collection-to-purchase ratio is first-rate. And so far, out of more than 100,000 words, I have only deleted one negative review that scolded a novice! I believe that after a million words, it will definitely shine!
