"Why is the chief here? Please take a seat and try the slave's craftsmanship later."
In the past few years, Qin Xianglian's family has been very busy, so when she saw Wang Fuxing, she hurried out to talk to him.
At the same time, her hands were not idle. After wiping them on her clothes, she made a motion to pick up the snacks.
Chen Mo couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it. Is this a revenge for yesterday's door smashing and slander?
This woman can always touch her heart with her words and actions.
Wang Fuxing didn't think much about it. After all, everyone in Baijiazhuang knew that whenever there was a chance, Qin Xianglian would bring good things home for her men to enjoy.
"Come here at this hour, what's the matter?" Chen Mo stood up.
"Of course something happened, and it was a happy event."
Wang Fuxing had a smile on his face, but he was cursing his mother in his heart.
Until this moment, he still felt that his face was burning with shame and his teeth were itching with hatred.
I was originally waiting for the good news of the royal power in the private room of the academy, but I never expected that after the other party left and came back, he would be furious and scold him bloody.
Especially the words that kicked him out almost scared Wang Fuxing out of his mind.
"Whether you beg grandpa or sue grandma, you must persuade Chen Mo to take part in tomorrow's county examination, otherwise this district chief's job will be over."
Wang Fuxing really couldn't understand why Chen Shimei, this wilting bastard, suddenly turned over.
Yesterday, Mrs. Wang from Yahang came forward and sent Zhao Shan away with a few words.
It was even more outrageous today. The person who came to the academy to speak for him in person was actually the newly appointed steward of the magistrate's office.
What kind of secret is hidden in it?
However, it was impossible to speculate on this kind of thing, let alone ask the person involved, so Wang Fuxing could only bring snacks in despair and coax Chen Mo to take the county examination.
As for whether it will be co-optation or suppression in the future, we will find out after the investigation.
Chen Mo didn't know what was going on in Wang Fuxing's heart. He was just curious about where the joy came from, so he asked casually.
Wang Fuxing didn't show any concern and directly took out an official document issued by the academy from his arms, which was jointly signed by the third elder of the town and Lin Han.
"Shimei, with this thing, you can go to the county exam tomorrow without any problems."
Notarized certificate?
After Chen Mo saw it clearly, Dajue unexpectedly fell into silence.
I never thought that Wang Fuxing came to the house to give this thing.
Recalling everything that happened when he went to the academy, he couldn't figure out why the abominable Third Elder Zhen had a change of heart and made accommodations.
You can't, it's just too cheap, right?
What happened after you left the academy?
Confused, Chen Mo could only ask questions.
"Chief, where did this notarial certificate come from?"
"It's a coincidence that today I went to the academy to visit relatives, and happened to bump into San Lao and Lin Jiaoyu discussing your floating ticket, so I had a few words."
Wang Fuxing felt guilty and could only answer ambiguously.
"So, the reason why the official was able to obtain the notarial certificate was all because of the good words of the village chief. I would like to thank you here."
The person who is most concerned about tomorrow's county examination is none other than Qin Xianglian.
So while giving thanks, he also took the notarial certificate in his hand. He didn't dare to give it to Chen Mo, lest he tear it up later after drinking.
"Thank you, Chief." Chen Mo also bowed his hand.
It's the same gratitude, but it's very different from Qin Xianglian's.
There is only superficial gratitude, but no inner joy.
What's surging is only uneasiness.
He had suspected before that there was something fishy in the incident involving the three elders of the town borrowing floating tickets, and he had been thinking about it for a whole day but could not figure it out. Now he had a preliminary conclusion.
Not surprisingly, the instigator was Wang Fuxing.
In this case, the notarial certificate cannot be easily accepted.
Finally, we have the opportunity to take charge of the head of a village, so we should have a good talk about returning to Longwan.
"Xianlian, don't be stunned, hurry up and pack the food and wine."
After sending Qin Xianglian away, Chen Mo glanced at Lin Dashan and Lin Xiaoshu again.
"Uncle Lin, Xiaoshu, I've invited you here to repair the ox cart's wheel. Please go and have a look now. I'll be waiting to use it tomorrow."
"Brother Heitu, when are you going to talk about repairing..." Lin Xiaoshu asked, squinting his neck.
"You silly boy, when did you have such a bad memory?" Lin Dashan understood, dragging his silly son out, "If you can't fix it well, you won't be allowed to eat tonight."
"Chief, please take a seat." Chen Mo asked Wang Fuxing to sit at the small table, smacking his lips and said, "I guess I won't be able to take part in the county exam tomorrow."
"What did you say?"
Faced with a broken table and a broken bench, Wang Fuxing was disgusted and wanted to push off the seat.
Frightened, my butt was hit hard on it, causing pain in the back of my diaphragm, and I grimaced.
Chen Mo sneered in his heart, but expressed bitterness in his mouth.
"To be honest, I have been studying since I was a child, and I have asked myself whether I can pass the state examination qualifications. The question is, what should I do after passing the examination?"
"How else can we go?" Wang Fuxing answered without even thinking, "Of course we should continue to work hard and strive for the provincial examination. If we can pass the palace examination in the future, then..."
"Chief, let me interrupt first." Chen Mo shook his head and said, "If you are lucky enough to be spoken to by the head, do you know how long I will be away from home?"
"If you can pass the palace examination, it will take about three years. If you pass the provincial examination, it will be less than two years." Wang Fuxing responded and was confused, "What exactly do you want to say?"
"I want to say, what do you do for a living?" Chen Mo pointed at himself and then at the room, "You can't starve us to death just to gain fame, right?"
"this……"
This sentence stopped Wang Fuxing.
He rolled his eyes and thought for a while, then gave up the dirty thoughts that came to his mind and responded with a smile.
"Shimei, if you have any ideas, just tell me. Not to mention the friendship between our neighbors, but from the perspective of the village leader, I have the responsibility to help the students in this village share their worries."
"Okay, let me tell you." This is what Chen Mo was waiting for. "It's okay to let me take the county exam tomorrow, but I have to solve my worries. Fifty taels of silver is almost enough."
"Five, fifty taels?"
Wang Fuxing's fat face trembled. While greeting the eighth generation of Chen Mo's ancestors in his heart, he wanted to lift the table.
However, this trip requires me to ask for help from others, so I can only complain and suffer.
"Shimei, first of all, I really can't afford that much silver, and secondly, this is not a long-term solution. Why not follow the example of most poor students and let Xianglian work at home to study?"
"Li Chang, it's not that I haven't thought about this method. The problem is that the private land is limited and it is really difficult to support it." Chen Mo also poured out his bitterness.
"It doesn't matter, my manager will help you solve this problem." Wang Fuxing said with a wave of his hand, "I can rent you private land without paying any rent."
"Thank you, Chief." Chen Mo quickly climbed onto the stick, "I wonder where the field is?"
"How about Huilong Bay?"
Wang Fuxing felt a little guilty and did not dare to look into Chen Mo's eyes.
Although the area of the land is fifty acres, it is extremely barren and dry. It can be said that what you sow will die.
In the words of a certain Feng Shui master, anyone who builds a shady house will have a future, and this is why he does not charge rent.
Because if Qin Xianglian wants to plant, she must do her best to take care of the land. If it is not preserved, it can be revitalized in the future, which is much more cost-effective than collecting rent.
Chen Mo had been there a long time ago, and naturally he could see through Wang Fuxing's little thoughts. He obviously felt that "he" had not cared about his livelihood for many years, and could be deceived by a little persuasion.
If that's the case, then just follow his wishes.
"Chen Mo will always remember his kindness and kindness. If he gets an honor in the future, he will repay him a hundredfold."
"Easy to say, easy to say, then let's sign the contract now."
Wang Fuxing was elated and looked at Chen Mo with a gleaming look in his eyes.
