I am the county magistrate in Liaozhai

Chen Xiucai, whose name is Chen Bijiao and style name Mingyun, was also selected as a scholar when he was young, and he married the daughter of his teacher's family not long after.His study tour this time was originally to broaden his horizons, and he would take the autumn exam when he returned.

But he didn't expect to fall into the lake. Since then, he has no news and missed last year's autumn test.

Cheng Jin sent Zhu Wenshu to the underworld to inquire. As long as there is no news about Qingheng, the judge's hall will be very happy to give the news.Not only told him Chen Mingyun's life, but also attached the letter with the current situation of the Chen family.

Although he hasn't come into contact with this Chen Sheng yet, but? How should I put it, he concealed his marriage history to cheat the affection of the rich lady, bah, what a scumbag, Cheng Jin immediately followed his senior brother's contacts and sent someone to the Chen family in Hebei Went to send the news, after all Mrs. Chen has kept her filial piety for more than half a year, so I don't know the situation.

"Tsk tsk tsk, why don't you say that every generation of righteousness in this world slaughters dogs, and most of them are scholars who have a bad heart? This Chen Xiucai's fame? I haven't seen the entrance examination, but I will arrange my own way forward." Mao Mao looked at his life with his head together. Finished, couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Cheng Jin burned out the ghost letter, and then smiled and said: "Where did I hear this couplet, did the scholar provoke you?"

"There's a new storyteller in Limengge, I heard it there." Maomao grabbed the pumpkin seeds and knocked them up, "In my opinion, you don't have to go to Suzhou during your vacation, why? Take a lot of effort to report to Fucheng, send this life letter, even if you want to marry the Jin family, they may not agree to you."

Cheng Jin shook his head: "Is this possible? The Jin family is very famous in Shilin. Since the teacher arranged for me to see this family, if I believe it like this, it is tantamount to insulting the Jin family. In the future, it will be considered as a brother to help. , I can’t be promoted to an official.”

So regarding Chen Xiucai's matter, he had to take care of it, even if he wanted to stop Miss Jin's thoughts, it should be Mrs. Chen.

"...The rules in your world are really complicated enough."

So after more than ten days, Cheng Jin took care of Tangxi's affairs, counted the time of the journey, and took the ghost road to the outside of Suzhou City.

Because it was in the name of visiting teacher and friend Jin Daru, Cheng Jin also prepared a lot of gifts, including Tangxi vegetables and fruits, Tangxi handmade soap, and a pair of rice paper letterheads, and finally It is a part of Orphan Collection.

Mao Mao was carrying the gift box, and the boss was really reluctant: "Why me? Are you a child, how can you pay me back? I need someone to accompany me, what if the girl falls in love with me?" Cheng Jin turned around, up and down The subordinate looked at Mao Mao: "Pan Xiaoan, I advise you to be self-aware."

Ahhh, I really want to tickle someone!It's a pity that he couldn't beat the process sourly, so he was very angry?

"As for why you were brought along? Of course, there is a place for you. Besides, Ah never has time now. Which official do you see going out alone?"

While talking, one by one, they arrived at Wanling Academy on the edge of Taihu Lake.

Cheng Jin held the greeting card in his hand, and the concierge at the foot of the mountain was naturally hospitable. He even sent an invitation letter to Jin Daru when he came to the Taoyuan Fair. Unfortunately, the old man didn't have time to come, so he gave him a name to visit.

"Late student Cheng Jin, pay homage to Mrs. Jin."

Cheng Jin came to see Jin Daru, and Mao Mao was taken down to rest as a follower.

Jin Daru looked a little older than the previous few years. He was a very strict teacher academically, but? Probably because of his identity change, he treated him a lot softer this time: "Yi'an, I haven't seen you for several years. Born?"

...I was at a loss.

Just as Cheng Jin was struggling to deal with it with his toes buckled, Pan Xiaoan had already eaten in the side courtyard.Sure enough, the Jin family did what Cheng Suanyou said, and they sent servants to spy on him. What did they ask? Is there a concubine in the backyard? Only female ghosts can have concubines? Ghosts.

"Young master has such good looks, why is he only working as a yamen servant in the yamen?"

That's right, Pan Maomao felt that the head of the cell didn't sound good, and would rather pretend to be a yamen servant than mention his own job: "It's just a matter of pleasure, and I don't need to work in the family, so I came out to make a living."

It's completely a child's heart that hasn't grown up. The servant Haoxuan is relieved. Do you think that Cheng Xianggong will bring a child molester when he goes out to see each other? Asking such a question, it looks more like a rich young man who is innocent Play house.

Miss's marriage can't go wrong again.

To say that this Cheng Xianggong is really much better than that Chen Xiucai. In terms of appearance, handsome and handsome, and in terms of being friendly and appropriate, although there are no elders in the family, but? I was awarded Tanhua early, and although my official position is low now, my servant believes that as long as I give it time, it will be good.

Therefore, the servant became more polite to Pan Xiaoan, and even introduced the good places in Suzhou. Hearing that, Mao Mao was eager to try, wishing to live in Suzhou for a month.

At the same time, Miss Jin was led behind the screen in the hall by her mother.

She was naturally reluctant in her heart, and Chen Xianggong didn't really hear the news of his death. If she betrayed and married at this moment, wouldn't it be a villain? However, Miss Jin didn't change her mind, she just told her mother that she didn't match her when she came back, and she didn't want to let it go.

Mrs. Jin was so angry, she stretched out her hand to wake her daughter up hard, but it fell on Miss Jin or did she lose her strength: "My son, it's been a year, you still have? What? What can't you think about, Although this Cheng Yi'an said that his family background is not good, but he has a good future, and you don't even like him, is it possible? It's really because Mr. Wushu is here that you are willing to nod?"

"Mother, why are you so sarcastic about your daughter? How could your daughter think about that Mr. Wushu?" Miss Jin was almost ashamed, "It's just that my daughter doesn't like it."

Miss Jin really doesn't like the looks of romantic people very much, because she grew up in an academy and saw a lot of unlucky scholars who looked like this.

"Fool, it's okay, I'll do as you want. Fortunately, Mr. Cheng is doing things properly, and the letter of invitation is also to see your grandfather. Even if outsiders know that he is coming, they will not guess you." Mrs. Jin said It's a pity, such a good man, if you miss it, you will never meet again.

In the evening, Cheng Jin had dinner with Jin Daru in the college, and then directly stayed in the college. He even agreed to a lecture because he talked about homework during the day, but he didn't know how many students would come to listen.

"What? You still want to give lectures. I'm afraid you're going to mislead your disciples, aren't you?"

Cheng Jin picked up a piece of pastry on the table and threw it over: "Can you think of me ordering it? Anyway, I studied under the great Confucianism of the time, and I have a background in Tanhua, okay? Besides, I don't talk about Fu, I only talk about arithmetic."

Really, it’s not that he’s bragging. There are very few scholars in the world who are better at arithmetic than him.

"Arithmetic?" Maomao leaned over to look at the lesson plan, only to feel dizzy, "What are you writing? What, you need to learn this for the imperial examination?" Then it's no wonder that Taozui didn't take the exam, Zhuzi's actuarial arithmetic is very poor coming.

"Of course, do you think that being a Jinshi is Chinese cabbage?"

When Maomao heard this, he covered his stomach and let out a satisfied sigh: "Speaking of Chinese cabbage, the cabbage in soup tonight is really delicious. This is the first time I have eaten such a delicious vegetable."

Cheng Jin picked up his pen to write, and decided not to pay attention to the cat demon who disturbed his progress.

On the other side, Jin Daru also learned about his granddaughter's wishes from the old servant.In the morning of the second day, I found my granddaughter to have a heart-to-heart chat. "Granddaughter visits grandfather."

"You don't need to salute, your grandfather already knows what you want. Tell him, are you still unable to let go of that scholar surnamed Chen?"

In fact, Miss Jin didn't care about Chen Xiucai? To the point of life and death, she just felt that she had accepted this wish, so she couldn't just marry someone, even if that person had disappeared for a year: "No, it's just that you, Grandpa, Teach your granddaughter to keep your promises, and get married in such a hasty way without knowing why, not only is it unfair to Chen Xiucai, but also a deception to that Cheng Xianggong."

Jin Daru immediately sighed, this child is most like him in temperament, he is stubborn and smart, and he doesn't know what to do in the future: "You said the same thing a year ago, and it's been a year now, what if ten years He didn't even have any? Audio, don't you really want to be an old sister-in-law?"

Miss Jin said: "Then I will open a women's school in Suzhou to teach women's skills, and it will not be considered as a reputation for the Jin family."

"Nonsense! Where is the reputation of the Jin family? Your happiness is important!" Jin Daru was so angry that he slapped the table, seeing his granddaughter's stubborn face, he finally softened his voice, "Forget it, the Jin family is not a foster child. I'm sorry, grandpa will just tell you that, even if Chen Xiucai is alive and standing in front of this old man, this old man will never agree to your marriage."

It's just a little talent, but if he is really alive, he hasn't heard from him for a year? Even if he is as tall as that Fu Chengshu, he is definitely not a good man.

Miss Jin didn't refute it either. After all, my grandfather had said this many times.

It's just a coincidence that when she came out of her grandfather's study and walked around the side hall, she unexpectedly ran into the handsome Cheng Xianggong.Miss Jin was very thoughtful, and immediately took a look at her confidant maid, and knew that it was her mother who was determined, so she arranged this again.

Cheng Jin, who was forced to meet: ... It's embarrassing, the embarrassment of being able to pick out three rooms and one living room.

Soon, his embarrassment developed from being able to dig out three rooms and one living room to being able to dig out an entire Dragon Palace.

It was because after the greetings were about ten meters away, a servant girl ran over in panic, and shouted when she saw Miss Jin. Although her voice was deliberately lowered, Cheng Jin still heard it.

"Miss, that, that, that, Chen Xiucai, he came back alive!"

Cheng Jin & Maomao: Oh well.

Miss Jin's complexion immediately changed when she heard this, and she only had time to salute Cheng Jin slightly, then quickly disappeared near the Jiuqu corridor bridge with her skirt in hand.

Seeing the people leaving, Mao Mao had a happy expression on his face: "It seems that Chen Xiucai is really in the Dragon Palace of the Golden Dragon King, do you want to follow him to see?"

"I'm an outsider, don't I intend to make the master's house feel uncomfortable when I go at this time, don't go."

Mao Mao likes to watch the excitement the most. Hearing the words, he becomes? Yuan Xing jumped onto the roof: "If you don't go, I'll go!"
