Chapter Forty-ninth

The big banyan tree in Li Chenan's shop has a branch that extends out of the yard and into the alley.

The leaves on that branch were also very lush, and no one noticed that there was a person sitting among the thick leaves.

Of course she is Murong He.

She was just in a position where she could see the door to the tavern.

She didn't want to scare Su Muxin, she just wanted to protect him silently until one day he got married.

Are you a little stupid?

She laughed to herself, thinking that she was indeed a little stupid.

When I was fourteen years old, I heard the senior brothers who had returned from the Sword Academy talking about the people and things outside. It was the first time I heard the name Su Muxin, and it was also the first time I saw the book "Su Muxin" that the second senior brother brought back.

Poetry Collection".

The second senior brother said that there are many talented people in Ning State today, but there is only one truly talented scholar who came from a poor family, and Su Muxin is the only one!

At that time, I remembered the name and the poems he wrote.

Then I heard many things about him, such as:

He studied under Hua Manting, a great Confucian of Ning State.

He was a scholar at the age of twelve, a scholar at the age of thirteen, and a Jinshi at the age of seventeen last year, and was selected second by the emperor in the palace examination!

People often talk about talented people and beauties. She knew that she was not one of those beautiful beauties in dramas, but the master said that if she really likes her, then she should boldly pursue her.

Just like Uncle Fan Taohua and Grand Master Fan.

Master Shibo is a legend in Songshan Sword Academy.

When the uncle came down the mountain, he was only seventeen years old. She came down the mountain to go towards Zhongli Po.

It's not because of Zhongli Po's literary talent and martial arts, nor the status of Zhongli Mansion in Ning State.

Just because Zhongli Po is handsome.

I also came down from the mountain at the age of seventeen, but it was for Su Muxin's talent. He was handsome and talented, but I... I didn't have the appearance of my uncle, nor the courage of my uncle.

Murong He sighed in his heart and saw a young man in white coming to the door of the tavern.

He is Su Muxin.

Today is his first day as the shopkeeper in this tavern.

He opened the door and walked in. It was not the opening hours of the tavern, so he closed the door again and went to the backyard.

Li Chenan looked at Su Muxin.

Su Muxin also looked at Li Chenan, and then touched her face, "There are flowers on my face?"

"No, I think you are more beautiful than flowers."

"……Neuropathy!"

"Xiao Su, you...do you have a fiancée?"

"Don't call me Xiao Su! How can I, Xiao Su, start a family before I have established a career? Where did I get my fiancée?"

"Oh, that's fine if you don't."

Su Muxin felt that Li Chenan was a bit nagging today, "What's wrong with you?"

"Xiao Su, do you like chivalrous girls? The kind who are very good at kung fu and are willing to protect you for the rest of their lives?"

"No, what happened to you?"

"Answer my question first."

Su Muxin thought about it carefully, "I am a scholar. Although I am ranked second in the rankings, I do not have an official position. I still have to earn a living in your tavern. How can I choose a fiancée?"

"That means you don't object?"

"Why should we resist? As long as we are in love, it doesn't matter whether she is a chivalrous woman or a peasant woman. I don't think it matters."

"Oh, all right."

"No, you haven't answered me yet. Why are you asking?"

"It's okay. As the owner of this tavern, I have to take care of your marriage issues. You are already old enough. If one day I meet a suitable person, I can be a matchmaker for you?"

Su Muxin glared at Li Chenan and said, "You are not young anymore, so you should think about yourself first. When will we open the door?"

"Don't worry, customers are used to us opening in the afternoon."

"By the way, Xiao Su, have you been to Ningxiang Pavilion?"

"...I went there with Qi Zhixue a few days ago."

"Have you ever met a man named Song Yuanping?"

"male?"

"Yeah, male."

Su Muxin looked at Li Chenan like an idiot, "Go to the Ningxiang Pavilion to find a man... I can't do it."

"How about we go to the Ningxiang Pavilion together tonight?"

"You, you have a habit of cutting sleeves?"

When Cuihua on the side heard this, she looked at Li Chenan with a strange look.

She turned her head and looked at Li Xiaohua who was holding a stone pillar in the corner, and suddenly discovered something. No wonder the embroiderer took Li Xiaohua out every morning... No wonder he would take Miss Shen's family without hesitation.

The marriage certificate was returned... No wonder he was kicked out of the house by his father!

Cuihua was thoughtful, took another deep look at Li Chenan, and walked towards the west wing.

"Dear you sister! We are just going to Ningxiang Pavilion to listen to music and have a drink."

"I don't have a girl. If you want to drink, the wine in our tavern is much better. As for listening to music, that's it. I won't go!"

"I order you in the name of my junior uncle!"

"...You are really shameless!"

"Today you are the second person to say that I am shameless."

"Who's the first one?"

"Your fiancée."

"……Neuropathy!"

Su Muxin turned around and walked out. He came to the front shop and did not open the door. Instead, he went to drink a glass of wine by himself and sat at a table to taste it carefully.

Before the glass of wine was finished, there was a knock on the door.

He walked over and opened the door. Standing at the door was a policeman.

"May I ask if Mr. Li is inside?"

"Here, did he commit a crime?"

"Ah, no, there are some clues about yesterday's case. Come down and tell him."

"Please come in!"

Chen Ergou walked in and came to the backyard. He smiled and saluted Li Chenan: "Master Li, I'm Chen Ergou!"

"Hello, Mr. Chen!"

"Hello, Mr. Li! It's like this. Yesterday, Mr. Cai personally interrogated those gangsters from the Ax Gang. Those gangsters were instructed by Chen Chun, the leader of the Ax Gang."

"Master Cai ordered us to go down and capture Chen Chun... Mr. Li, there is a shadow of the Huo family behind this matter."

"The Huo family has quite a lot of influence in our Guangling City. Mr. Huo Chuanming is our general judge in Guangling Prefecture. So Mr. Cai means that this case is over, but Mr. Li must be more careful in the future."

Li Chenan frowned. He knew that the Guangling Huo family would do this to him sooner or later, but he didn't expect that even though he borrowed Hua Manting's name, he still failed to intimidate the Huo family.

This time the Huo family just used the thugs from the Ax Gang to test. Although they failed, they would not give up for this method of painting Pingchun.

I have the brand of Lijing Division on my body but I can’t use it. It seems that I need to recruit Lijing Division’s bronze agent quickly.

Recruit more martial arts masters to keep yourself safe!

"Thank you so much, Mr. Chen," Li Chenan turned to the west wing and shouted, "Cuihua, bring me a pound of wine!"

After a while, Cuihua brought a small wine jar.

Li Chenan put the jar of wine into Chen Ergou's hand, "Chen Captou, I need you to pay more attention to this place in the future!"

"Master Li, you can't do it, you can't do it!"

"This is obvious. But Mr. Chen must not mention this wine to others, otherwise I will not be able to explain the rules of this tavern to those guests!"

Chen Ergou had a smile on his face, this was a full two taels of silver!

This Mr. Li is very generous and will cause trouble.

"Don't worry, Young Master Li. From now on, no, I, Ergouzi, will send two detectives to guard your tavern!"
