Lin Ting'an shook his head: "I've already coaxed my mother-in-law. Why did you come back like this after you went out? And who is the sloppy person who came back with you?"

Yang Yuanzu rubbed his arms with a towel, and replied while rubbing: "Don't mention it, we got separated from the brigade and ended up getting lost. Fortunately, we met the servant of heaven in the mountains and we were able to come back smoothly."

After Yang Yuanzu finished speaking, he went to rub his back. Lin Ting'an saw that he couldn't reach his back and looked awkward and stepped forward to help. At the same time, he said dissatisfiedly: "I promised to protect you when I left with Master Yi, but he came back." It’s like he’s been begging and wandering outside for several months, I shouldn’t have followed him in the first place.”

"That's true of you. If he asks you to go, you won't find an excuse to refuse. If you, a weak scholar, don't go, you will be convicted."

Yang Yuanzu was also helpless. He replied weakly: "I firmly refused... and An'an, you can just say these things in front of me. Don't say it in front of others. If you hate Yi Shengwan, restrain your emotions."

Lin Ting'an was in a mood just now and her words were a bit over the top. She calmed down and replied, "I know, I'm just too angry to talk about it verbally in private."

Lin Ting'an added aggrievedly: "We small businessmen have to support even the county magistrate, let alone the governor."

"My husband has been wronged." Lin Ting'an thought that Yang Yuanzu wanted to comfort him, but Yang Yuanzu did not follow common sense and continued: "But my husband may have to be wronged again."

Lin Ting'an was confused after hearing this. Yang Yuanzu looked outside the door and replied in a low voice: "I suspect that Yi Shengwan is from the royal family in Changjing."

Lin Ting'an was surprised, and Yang Yuanzu explained: "Do you think Yi Shengwan's image when recited upside down does not look like Weishengyi? And this Weisheng is the imperial surname of the Daning Dynasty."

"But the Ning Dynasty has not heard of a prince named Wei Shengyi?" Lin Ting'an asked doubtfully.

"It might be the prince. Anyway, we should be cautious in front of this person." Yang Yuanzu was also very depressed. He was used to being free in his own territory, and now he was afraid of accidentally saying something wrong. After all, ancient times did not pay attention to speech. Freedom was one of the reasons why he postponed going to Changjing to take the imperial examination. He also wanted to live a free and unrestrained life for another three years.

Lin Ting'an suddenly remembered something and said solemnly: "There was a big incident in the Zhang family in our village during the days when you went to the mountains. I heard that Zhang Jiangguan was caught cheating when he took the imperial examination in Changjing. According to the law of the Ning Dynasty, He will never be able to take the imperial examination again in his life."

Yang Yuanzu was shaving in front of the mirror and stopped when he heard this. When Zhang Jiangguan left, he had warned him about fraud, but he didn't expect that he would fall into the trap in the end.

There are many parties in Changjing, and Mr. Fang, who supports Zhang Jiang's concept book, is a minions of the Third Prince Party. Zhang Jiang will naturally be targeted by other parties when he goes to Changjing.

If Zhang Jiangguan only had second-level or third-level talents, he might be fine. The bad thing is that Zhang Jiangguan has some talents. If he were to serve as an official in the court, wouldn't he be helping the third prince? How could other princes make the third prince happy? Moreover, this is also a good opportunity to give the other party a show of strength. The third prince also had the same idea, so this imperial examination has become a battlefield for partisan disputes.

This time, not only Zhangjiangguan suffered disaster, but many students who had already lined up to take the exam were implicated in different ways, and some serious cases even lost their lives.

Lin Ting'an sighed: "Mrs. Zhang Jiangguan was so frightened when she heard about this that she left that night. I'm sorry for your cousin Chen Yuncai. He thought he could marry a good man this year, but he's getting older now."

Not only is Chen Yuncai older, but he is also engaged to Zhang Jiangguan. Now it is very difficult to talk to other people.

Lin Ting'an didn't like Yang Yuanzu's rotten peach blossoms in the past, including Chen Yuncai, but now that times have changed, and Yang Yuanzu kept him in his heart all the time, he had already put aside those rotten peach blossoms of Chen Sesame. Let go of the millet matter.

The old mother of the Zhang family is in frail health and has been sick many times in the past two or three years. If she takes good care of herself and thinks less, she might be able to live a few more years. But the problem is that the protagonist's family is not destined to be ordinary. Yang Yuanzu did not feel the death of the old man. How surprised he was, he asked again: "Is Zhang Jiangguan still in the village now?"

"Zhang Jiangguan finished the funeral at home and disappeared." Lin Ting'an said fearfully: "I heard that Zhang Jiangguan was framed. Fortunately, you did not take part in the imperial examination this year, but looking for water sources is also a problem. Dangerous things, the reservoir in our village..."

Yang Yuanzu interrupted directly: "I told you before that the water in our village reservoir is only enough for the village. If it is divided, it will be exhausted within a month. After all, there are too many of them and our reservoir is just a drop in the bucket." To no avail.”

After the incident in Zhangjiang Guan, Lin Ting'an became resistant to the imperial examination and no longer hoped that Yang Yuanzu would go to Changjing to participate in the imperial examination as before. Yang Yuanzu and his wife analyzed the situation in Changjing in detail. As long as they did not take sides, they could live their own lives in a low-key manner You can still go to Beijing.

Lin Ting'an didn't know about partisanship before. Since his business grew bigger and bigger, he often came into contact with the bosses who came to buy goods from Changjing. During the chat, those bosses had vaguely mentioned these things.

These businessmen don't know much, but officials in Changjing are constantly having their homes confiscated, exiled or beheaded. Even if they are marginalized, they know that these things are not simple, especially in the past two years. Your Majesty is getting older, and the people below can't help but show their fangs.

Thinking of this, Lin Ting'an looked unhappy, and in order to divert his attention, Yang Yuanzu asked: "An An, can I borrow your whitening mask?

Hearing this, Lin Ting'an dug out a box of pearl powder from the cabinet next to the mirror and handed it to Yang Yuanzu. The pearl powder was ground very finely, mixed with milk and left on for a while. Yang Yuanzu believed that he would soon return to his former self. appearance.

Lin Ting'an left the room, intending to visit the Heavenly servant and prepare to settle him down.

The next day, Yang Yuanzu went to the county town to find Mr. Yi. He was neither Mr. Yi's subordinate nor his disciple, so naturally he didn't have to rush back to the county town to recover like the military doctor did yesterday.

After Yang Yuanzu arrived at the base camp, he realized that the large army he had gone to before had been damaged by nearly half when it came back. He and the military doctor were considered lucky. They accidentally bumped into each other on the way and luckily avoided the dangerous zone. Not only that, they also found the water source. Great achievement.

After the water source matter was resolved, Yang Yuanzu was sent back to the construction team to complete the finishing work of the commercial building with Xiang Fangzhong.
