Chapter 174 Shangguan Mingzhi's Thoughts
If it weren't for those three lives, Cheng Dezhu would not have been sentenced to death. It is a son's mistake not to teach his father. Cheng Wenjun was young and developed such a vicious character because of his own father's connivance, so the punishment of beheading fell on him.
on the body.
When the Cheng family father and son were dragged down, their cries resounded throughout the sky. Rather than being slapped on the board, the two of them were more afraid of the punishment that followed.
"Young Master Cheng has been accustomed to gold and gold since he was a child. He goes to the salt factory and goes to the salt factory. He doesn't know if he can live for more than three months." Shangguan Mingzhi shook his head, secretly glad that his son was a brainless person.
Yes, although he is a bit stupid, he is kind-hearted and treats others kindly. Otherwise, he, a father, would also lose his head.
Jiang Yan looked over with a faint look, wondering: "We have already left the county government office, why is Shangguan shopkeeper still following us?"
It was okay for him to just watch from the side when the county magistrate was hearing the case. After all, ordinary people could watch, not to mention he was a good friend of County Magistrate Li. But when Magistrate Li went to the backyard with him to talk privately about the farm tools incident, he also followed him. Now he appears.
If you go to the county government and still follow you, what are you doing?
Shangguan Mingzhi's smile froze on his face, and he looked awkwardly at the other young men who also looked at him in confusion.
It was noon, and the hot sunshine was shining on everyone. Everyone could not help but squint their eyes. Shangguan Mingzhi also closed his eyelashes slightly, but his eyes fell on Jiang Yan.
The woman in a coarse short shirt looked at him with calm and clear eyes. The breeze blew through her hair and picked up a few strands of hair scattered on her temples. Under the sun, her whole body seemed to be exuding a gleaming light, and the outlines traced by light and shadow were even more...
obvious.
His eyes were in a trance, and his thoughts drifted to the nonsense that his stupid son often said about asking Aunt Jiang to be his stepmother. For some reason, he felt eager in his heart, and he didn't seem to be disgusted with this matter, and even had some vague expectations.
"Shangguan shopkeeper? What are you thinking about?"
"Why are you still distracted?"
"Could it be heat stroke?"
Jiang Yan stretched out her hand and waved it in front of him. Seeing that Shangguan Mingzhi had not regained consciousness for a long time, she couldn't help but frown, and she patted his face without politeness.
"No, no, no! I'm fine. I just lost my mind thinking about something!" Shangguan Mingzhi, who had come back to his senses, almost wanted to die. Apart from Jiang Yan's slap marks on his face, there was also a trace of weird crimson. He thought he had that little bit.
When my little thoughts were discovered, I stuttered a bit when I opened my mouth.
He took the lead and raised his voice: "The Cheng family's matter has been settled. It's rare for Aunt Jiang and her family to come to the county. I am the host. Can you invite some of you to my Chang'an Restaurant for a casual meal?"
Jiang Yan was just about to shake her head and refuse when she heard him continue: "Xuan'er has been bothering you a lot during this period. I have always wanted to find a time to treat your family to dinner. Today is the right time, so Aunt Jiang must not refuse."
Jiang Yan turned her head and looked at the children, and it was indeed time to eat. She had no choice but to nod: "I'm not in a hurry to eat, but I have to bring one more person, is that okay?"
"What's going on here? Where is the person? Let's wait in the restaurant first. I'll send someone to invite him."
Jiang Yan took a step back: "The Huichun Hall is not far ahead, we can just go there."
With that said, the group of people walked towards Huichun Hall under the bright sun. Qiao Le had already explained his things in Huichun Hall and packed his luggage. He was just waiting for the person Jiang Yan said to pick him up. Thinking of himself
He was about to start becoming a teacher. He was a little excited and a little surprised.
Looking at the passers-by outside the door, he felt that all this was like a dream. Although he didn't know what the future would be like, his heart was full of expectations. As long as he could be with books, it would be better than being in a medical clinic. He pursed his lips
He smiled, his eyes twinkling.
At this time, Jiang Yan and his party walked to the door of Huichun Hall. Jiang Yan saw the stunning man sitting at the door surrounded by a pile of luggage.
The man sat calmly and indifferently on the steps beside the door, looking a little lonely. His gray gown was lying on the ground, and he was just holding a huge package and looking calmly at the street with his dark eyes.
There is alienation and indifference on his face. He is obviously a handsome face that amazes all living beings, but because of his indifferent expression, he seems to be incompatible with everything else, as if he is separated from this lively and noisy street by two distinct worlds.
To Jiang Yan, he was as beautiful as a painting.
"Mr. Qiao, we are here, we kept you waiting for a long time." Jiang Yanxiao shouted.
Qiao Le's eyes lit up, and he stood up with the bundle in his arms, bowing to Jiang Yan and the others and giving a simple salute.
The gentle and clear voice said: "I didn't wait long, I'm very happy that you can come."
He spoke calmly and seriously. He was really scared for a moment. This was all a dream. No one would come to pick him up today... Fortunately, fortunately, he came.
Jiang Yan smiled sincerely, with joy in her eyes: "I'm only happy if you can go to Linjia Village, no... it's not just me, my children are also happy." She patted Lin Bei and Jiang Hao as she spoke.
His head said: "This is my fourth son Lin Bei, this is my nephew, his name is Erbi... I don't have a name for him anymore, his name is Jiang Hao."
"Both of them want to take the exam for high-ranking officials. I will trouble you to focus on teaching them in the future." She then patted Lin Dong and Lin Nan: "These are my eldest son Lin Dong and my second son Lin Nan.
I am busy doing family business during the day, and only have some time to study at night."
Several people saluted Qiao Le one after another, imitating the way Qiao Le did before, especially Jiang Hao, whose big eyes were wide open, and his dark eyes carefully looked up and down at Qiao Le.
When he met Qiao Le's smiling eyes, he immediately blushed.
He knew he was here to meet the gentleman who would teach them how to read in the future, but he didn't expect that the new gentleman was so good-looking. He was the most handsome person he had ever seen!
Lin Bei had a smile on his face. He still remembered this man. The first time he followed his mother to a bookshop to buy books, it was in this man's shop. Unexpectedly, he would now become their teacher.
Jiang Yan smiled and stepped forward to help carry the luggage: "Are these your luggage? Are they all here?"
Qiao Le turned around and helped to move things, stacking them up: "They are all here, I am alone, and there is nothing else except these books."
Lin Bei looked at the books excitedly: "There are many books, all of which we have never seen before."
Jiang Hao: "Yes, yes, look at this, eight-part essay. Cousin Wen said it costs several taels! But there are many copies here!"
Qiao Le's luggage only contained the package in his arms, and the rest were all books. Jiang Yan guessed that after his bookstore closed, at least half of the books were here.
Shangguan Mingzhi looked at the group of people chatting enthusiastically, especially Qiao Le, who seemed to have integrated into the Lin family and was chatting with Aunt Jiang so calmly. He couldn't help but said: "Let's go eat first. It's hard to carry these things now."
