Ma Ye

The magistrate of Qin County became famous at a young age, and he was admitted as a scholar at the age of 12. This is not only unheard of in Guihe Village, but also rare in Luohe County.

Qin County Magistrate's father, Tan Mo, is a teacher in Guihe Village. He is only 35 years old and the only scholar in Guihe Village.

Hearing this, he was furious and locked his son in the firewood room, thinking about it and not allowing him to eat.

County magistrate Tan was quite stubborn when he was young, and he retorted unconvinced, "I'm right, why doesn't father allow me to get a job in the exam?"

Tan Mo said with a cold face, "Father, this is for your own good. It's all right if you hide from me that you passed the examination as a scholar. You should think about it in the firewood room, and don't take the imperial examination in the future."

"I was born as a man and should serve the country. Daddy taught me how to read and write. Is it possible that he just wants me to hide in this mountain? Now the current situation is turbulent, foreign enemies invade, and there are traitors inside. How many people are living in dire straits? ..."

Tan Mo's face was flushed with anger, "So what! How can the world be turned around by one person alone? Dad really doesn't want you to be an official in the court. The political arena is deep. If you want to change the situation, you have to join a Among the forces, you will be taken advantage of by the power so quickly, it is not easy for you to be alone! The so-called companionship is like companionship with a tiger, if you accidentally lose your life..."

"I'm not afraid!"

County magistrate Qin's eyes were lingering, and he replied proudly, and was quickly slapped by his father to the corner of the wall, "If you can't figure it out, you are not allowed to eat!"

The father and son quarreled, and no one gave in. Mother Qin looked at the closed firewood room and said with a smile, "His temper follows you."

"You brat." Tan Mo sat down angrily, drinking the tea brought by his wife, "How could I teach such a hypocrite who speaks of benevolence, righteousness and morality?"

Qin's mother smiled and said, "How can you talk about your son like that? Haozhi is too old to think about it, and has his own ideas."

"Hmph, what is it for the country and the people? It's not because I hate poverty in the mountains and think about fame, fortune, promotion and fortune." Although he said so, Tan Mo couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I would rather my son be more selfish. Corruption really has no place."

Qin's mother sighed slightly, and said for a long time, "I gave Haozhi the money to take the exam, don't you blame me?"

Hearing this, Tan Mo looked at his wife for a long time. The years had left traces on her body. She was originally a young lady who lived in seclusion in this small village with her fingers. Life is very different.

"Did you blame me all these years?" Tan Mo asked unconsciously.

"I should be the one who asked this question. The Wang family was wrongly imprisoned back then. You took me to escape and hide here. You said that you saw through the darkness of the officialdom and did not want to take part in the imperial examination, but I feel wronged for you in my heart. Talent and learning, if you enter the court and become an official, you will not lose to my father."

Tan Mo was stunned, and Qin's mother continued, "I know you are afraid that Haozhi will be found out to be a descendant of the Wang family when he becomes an official in the court. Tan Mo, Tan Mo, you really don't have to pay so much for me, and pay for the glorious ancestors of your Tan family. Chance."

Qin's mother burst into tears before she finished speaking, "My Wang family has been wronged a few years ago, why are you worried about it? Who would ask where the inconspicuous youngest daughter among the many children of the Wang family is now?" ...and then retaliate?"

Tan Mo hugged his crying wife into his arms and remained silent for a long time.

"Little mouse." A small stone was thrown from the window, and someone called him softly.

Qin Haozhi replied with a straight face, and Liang Yuer, who was outside the window, poked out a small face with a smile, and handed in the steamed stuffed bun, "I heard that you were locked up by your husband and you were not allowed to eat, so I came here secretly to deliver food to you."

"Don't eat." Tan Haozhi stubbornly turned his body away, facing the wall without looking at her.

"Hey, what's the matter, I stole it so hard, why don't you just taste it." Liang Yu'er said coquettishly with a smile.

Tan Haozhi ignored her.

Liang Yuer kept calling the little mouse outside the window, and Tan Haozhi annoyed and shouted, "Ugly girl, you're so annoying!"

"Little mouse, you're pissing me off again!" Liang Yu'er complained with her mouth pouted, "I'll call Er Gouzi to catch the snake and throw it into your woodshed to see if you're afraid."

Qin Haozhi, "..."

"Eat quickly." Seeing Tan Haozhi's handsome face turning pale, Liang Yuer urged her proudly as she handed over the steamed buns.

Tan Haozhi ate the steamed bun angrily, and stared at her with big eyes that could clearly understand black and white, "If my father finds out, you can prove it for me. It's not that I admit cowardice, you forced me to eat it."

"Yes yes yes." Liang Yu'er agreed wholeheartedly, and handed the water bag in again.

"I don't understand. It's so good to be an official. Er Gouzi also said that he wants to join the army."

Tan Haozhi snorted, "You don't understand even if I tell you."

"Hmm..." Liang Yu'er rubbed her nose, "I don't understand. To be an official, you have to listen to others' orders. If you want me to say it, you can be a hero! Being a chivalrous man can benefit the common people. I just want to be a woman." Hero! Stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, I feel very happy when I think about it when I walk the rivers and lakes happily."

"You don't know a little bit of martial arts. The world is so chaotic. If you go out, you will be captured by bandits and become Mrs. Yazhai." Tan Haozhi laughed.

"I learned from Master Wang at the entrance of the village..."

"Huaquan embroidered legs."

"Hahahaha, then you still can't beat me!" Liang Yuer mocked back.

Tan Haozhi gritted his teeth, "A gentleman speaks but does not move. I don't want to see you, a shrew."

Seeing that he was angry, Liang Yu'er stopped teasing him, she lowered her eyebrows and said seriously, "Don't be as knowledgeable as Mr. Qin, you want to get fame so much, but because those refugees who took refuge in our village touched you?"

Tan Haozhi was silent for a long time before he said, "I never saw that famine with my own eyes, but it was so chilling to listen to. Human life was trampled on like grass, bandits slaughtered people at will for food, and officials ignored the situation." What happened, embezzled the disaster relief money allocated by the imperial court, and caused thousands of people to starve to death, it’s just like being a parent official!”

"..." Liang Yu'er looked at the little mouse in Lichaifang with burning eyes and remained silent.

"Famine can be like this, not to mention the war disasters that sometimes occur on the frontier. The soldiers defending their homes and the country are not protecting the pests that suck the people."

"If I become an official, I will never let these corrupt officials live."

"You will be a good official in the future." Liang Yu'er laughed.

The young man talked about the future so brightly, and the momentum of blaming Fang Qiu made the world darken. Liang Yu'er didn't understand these twists and turns in the officialdom, but she just felt in her heart that this young man would definitely be a good official.
