Broken leg by silly daughter-in-law

Liu Zhiyuan got his wish, and now he is a candidate. Although there is no way to directly become an official, but slowly waiting for a vacancy, he can become a small official.

He was not an extremely talented person, and it took a lot of hard work to win the exam this time. He didn't have much confidence in continuing to rush for the exam in the future, so he simply let nature take its course and waited for the vacancy at home.

Juren also receives a lot of money subsidies from the court every year, and the land under his name can be exempted from taxes, and his family is exempted from corvee, so he can live a decent life.

Before his departure, Liu Zhiyuan naturally wanted to say goodbye to some classmates and friends. He spent several days out socializing, and Liu Luochen just wanted to pay a visit to the prefect of this state.

Everyone knows what kind of family the Liu family is. The magistrate has all the good things he wants, and he didn't choose those expensive gifts. The most important thing is his heart.

Together with Nan Nian, Liu Luochen selected a few delicate gifts, plus some special products brought from the town, and then handed over a greeting card to the magistrate.

The magistrate's name is Shen Tengwen, and he was the magistrate of the town before.There is quite a friendship with Liu Luochen.After reading their greeting cards, he also quickly asked the servants to welcome them in. Liu Luochen was not the kind to be careless, and after meeting Shen Tengwen, he still gave gifts respectfully and politely.

Speaking of which, Shen Tengwen was able to be promoted two ranks, from the magistrate to the magistrate, thanks to Liu Luochen's method of avoiding smallpox with the cowpox planted back then, so he was naturally grateful to him.And being a scholar is the most important thing.Since he agreed to Liu Luochen that day, he concealed his identity, but later the emperor summoned him, and he had no choice but to tell the whole story. This is also the point of Shen Tengwen's guilt towards Liu Luochen.

Several people chatted very happily, and they all wanted to be close to each other.After this in-depth conversation, Shen Tengwen found that Liu Luochen's speech and knowledge were extraordinary, and knowing that Liu Luochen had done many good deeds, and even opened a charitable hall, his affection for him deepened in his heart.

Both of them liked each other's temperament very much, so they planned to be friends, and they could see each other often in the future.

Liu Luochen also intended to get closer to the magistrate, using him as his backer.

Although the magistrate was an upright and honest official, he married a merchant's daughter.There are quite a few farm shops in the family, so naturally there is no shortage of silver flowers in the mansion.

When Mrs. Shen learned of their previous friendship, she was grateful for Liu Luochen's gift of such a big opportunity to her master, so naturally she was very kind to Liu Luochen.I took a lot of food and used it.Moreover, the Shen family was the magistrate of the county at the time, so there were naturally many shops in the town. Now that they are in the state capital, the shops in the town are far away and it is inconvenient to take care of them.

It just so happened that Liu Luochen came, so Mrs. Shen directly inquired about Liu Luochen's intention to buy a shop, so she chose a relatively favorable price and sold the two shops in the town to Liu Luochen directly.

On the one hand, it’s also because I’m grateful for Liu Luochen’s kindness back then. You and I understand this kind of thing. Naturally, Liu Luochen will not refuse in a ignorant manner, and the money he gives is equal to the market price. , and accepted it with a smile.

This time Liu Luochen and Nan Nian came to visit the magistrate's house alone, and did not inform Liu Zhiyuan.

Although the relationship between the two has eased a lot now, Liu Luochen is not a holy father, and it is impossible for him to arrange his official career step by step like an old lady.

Liu Luochen is well aware of the fickleness of people's hearts, so there is no guarantee that Liu Zhiyuan will turn his face and deny people after he becomes an official, and it will be troublesome at that time.

These friendships between his family and Shen Tengwen are what he needs to settle down in the future.True friendship should be used above the blade.

So when Nan Nian and Liu Luochen came out to visit the prefect together, they didn't tell Liu Zhiyuan, they only said that they wanted to make some goods locally and bring them back to sell.In fact, this is true, and after finally coming here, Liu Luochen naturally wanted to buy some silk with the characteristics of the state capital and sell it in the center, and he could earn a lot of money from the business.

Before leaving, Liu Luochen specially asked someone to roast a large basket of steamed buns, cut the middle, and boiled a large pot of braised pork, put it in the earthen pot, and prepared to take out the earthen pot when he was hungry during the journey Heat it up, sandwich the braised pork in the cake, and make it into a simple Roujiamo.

When Liu Luochen came here, there were four members of his family, and a carriage was enough.

There are dense mountains and forests along the way, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be one or two small pictures. These scholars are all weak and incompetent in martial arts. Could something happen after walking such a long way, so when everyone returned to the city, they agreed to be companions. Together, Liu Zhiyuan is not from the same hometown as these people, and he has met some friends.Liu Zhiyuan refused, so he approached Liu Luochen and asked if he could take these people with him. Liu Luochen didn't refuse either, but the journey would be a little slower.

The conditions of the Liu family are better now, and Liu Luochen is not harsh on himself. Although he is on the road, his food and clothing are not bad.And some of the books in the same company inevitably have family IOUs, and those who are not in the right mind will have jealousy.

At noon that day, everyone was tired after driving for three hours, so they stopped to rest and eat some dry food.

Liu Luochen didn't have much appetite due to running all the way in the morning, and it would be noon, and his stomach was really rumbling with hunger.

So he asked Liu Chun to set up the earthen pot that he bought in the state capital, and stew the big pot of braised pork. Scholars, smelling the delicious smell of meat, and gnawing on the dry pancakes in their hands, they suddenly felt tasteless, and the saliva in their mouths was even more drooling.

Zhang Zihao is a scholar from Zhangjia Village next door to Liujia Village. He failed the exam five times, and failed the exam the sixth time, feeling depressed.

Usually, Liu Zhiyuan’s family’s conditions were mediocre. This time, not only did he pass the examination as a scholar, but also his relatives seemed to be very generous. Zhang Zihao couldn’t help but feel a little jealous. Looking at the dry pancake in his hand, he said in a strange way: “How many stinky pancakes are there? Qian, I don’t know that we are showing off. Sleeping in the wilderness, everyone is eating dry pancakes, it’s just that their family is so special. Everyone is from the same town, and they can be regarded as classmates. We really don't know how to behave."

What Zhang Zihao said was yin and yang, and a few sensible scholars around him stepped forward to persuade him, but after seeing that it didn't work, they quietly moved back, bowed their heads and silently, not participating in the conversation.

Those who were also cautious and jealous all sneered and ridiculed one after another, saying that Liu Zhiyuan was not benevolent.

Liu Luochen and his party had sharp eyes and ears, so they naturally heard the eccentricity of these people. He snorted coldly, glanced at those who spoke strange words, and kept those scholars who had no advice in mind, and then he went to himself eating the simple version of Roujiamo, they didn't pay attention to these people at all.

Zhang Zihao thought that they stood above righteousness, and the Liu family would feel embarrassed if they said that, so they would bring good food over to eat with everyone.

Who knew that Liu Luochen was a stickler.Looking at the pancakes with meat in the hands of the other party, his mouth was full of oil, and the dry pancakes in his heart made him even more depressed.

Zhang Zihao is thick-skinned, so he licked his face and came to Liu Zhiyuan's side, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhiyuan, you see, we are both from the same hometown and classmates, and we are really empty in the wilderness. There is no oil and water. I see that there is still a lot of meat in your earthen pot, can you give us a few pieces."

"Yes, yes, we traveled thousands of miles to catch the exam, and we all stay together, so we should take care of each other."

"Brother Zhiyuan, your meat tastes so delicious that the gluttons in our stomachs have been aroused."

Those envious scholars gathered around one after another, talking in a hurry.They have always relied on the fact that they have read books for a few days and that Zhang Zihao has a good tongue. Usually, those who have no knowledge will immediately compromise when they say something.

Liu Luochen was almost laughed at by these popularity. After taking a glance at these people, he deliberately rinsed out a piece of red, bright and fragrant pork belly, cut it into small pieces with a knife, sprinkled some chopped green onion and coriander, and rolled it in the In the middle of the steamed bun, he took a hard bite, and the delicious taste of the gravy exploded between his lips and teeth. Liu Luochen bent his eyes happily, and sighed loudly on purpose: "A Nian, the gravy of this Roujiamo seeped into the pancake, really tasty."

After finishing speaking, Liu Luochen seemed to be deliberately angry with them, and took another big bite. Those scholars were already salivating from greed, and seeing them eat so deliciously, their stomachs also growled.

Zhang Zihao is a scholar, and he has a good face. He was ignored by Liu Luochen, his face was flushed, and he was even more indignant: "It's just some meat. Since this young man is unwilling, he can tell us clearly. Why bully others like this."

How about a scholar, he is different from others when it comes to nonsense.

Liu Luochen was stunned by this man's logical laughter, choked in his throat and coughed loudly.

Nan Nian patted him on the back worriedly, took the water bag, and fed it to Liu Luochen's mouth: "Mo Yan is distracted, drink some water and press it down."

Seeing Liu Luochen sip water and calm down his cough, he felt relieved. He looked at Zhang Zihao with his dark green eyes, and said in a calm voice, "Although we traveled the same way, we just met by chance. My family Brother is weak, so don't be careless about eating on the road. If you can't bear the smell, you can leave first."

What Nan Nian said didn't take Zhang Zihao and the others seriously at all. Immediately, they all had ugly faces, but they couldn't say anything. They could go forward in a grand manner, but the host would not rob them if they didn't give them.

And the scholars who didn't participate in the conversation earlier also quickly came over to pull those people away and tried to persuade them to make peace.

Zhang Zihao was annoyed in his heart, although he tried his best to endure on the surface, he just took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey and stopped pestering him.
