You know, the county magistrate is the second-in-command in a county, second only to the county magistrate!
"Haha, it turns out that Mr. Lin also knows my nickname."
Guo Nanxing's expression became even more bitter, and then he asked with expectation: "Then Mr. Lin is willing to buy me?"
"Guo..."
Lin Xu originally wanted to call him "Master Guo", but thinking that he had been deregistered and calling him that way again would seem to be making fun of him, he changed the title.
"Brother Guo, this is not the place to talk. Not far ahead is the Yingying Guesthouse. How about we go there and talk?"
"Okay, I'll listen to Mr. Lin."
Guo Nanxing nodded.
Back at the Yingying Guesthouse, Lin Xu asked for a living room, and asked the waiter to make a pot of hot tea and serve some refreshments.
"Brother Guo, have you encountered any difficulties?"
Lin Xu's face was kind and his voice was as gentle as possible, because he knew that scholars have always been very aloof and valued their self-esteem more than their lives. Especially since Mr. Zhao had been a county magistrate before, his self-esteem must be higher than that of ordinary people.
Scholars are stronger.
Therefore, he tried his best to take care of Guo Nanxing's self-esteem in his words.
"My mother is seriously ill and bedridden! But I can't even get the money to hire a doctor or buy soup and medicine for my mother! What a waste of my life! What else can I do to survive in the world? In order to raise some money to treat my mother's illness.
, I had no choice but to sell myself as a slave! However, everyone in the world knew that I, Guo Nanxing, was an unlucky person, and no one dared to buy me! In desperation, I had no choice but to recommend myself to Mr. Lin, and begged Mr. Lin to buy me for the money.
Go ask a doctor, buy some decoctions and medicines, and show your humble filial piety!"
Speaking of this, Guo Nanxing could no longer control his sadness and burst into tears!
"Brother Guo, please forgive me, you have also been a county magistrate, how could you have fallen to such a state?"
Now that Guo Nanxing had frankly told him about his situation, Lin Xu no longer hid it and directly expressed the doubts in his heart.
"County Magistrate?"
Guo Nanxing wiped the tears on his face and said bitterly: "It's all in the past! I committed a crime back then. Not only was I deprived of my citizenship, but all my property and land were confiscated by the government! In the past few years, I can only rely on
I copy books for a bookstore and earn some coins to support my family."
"But Xu Nianmin didn't leave any way for me to survive. A few days ago, he instructed several bookstores in the county that no one could do my business anymore!"
"My family immediately ran out of food, and my mother fell ill and was bedridden..."
"I had no choice but to sell myself as a slave to raise some money to treat my mother's illness!"
"However, they all know that Xu Nianmin intends to punish me. Who dares to buy me as a slave?"
"How sad! I think I, Guo Nanxing, have been studying hard for more than ten years, and I have also been selected as a candidate. I think I have never done anything harmful to nature in my life, but I ended up in this situation..."
"boom!"
Xia Dahai slapped the table hard and shouted angrily: "It's really too much! Mr. Zhao, I heard that you were framed back then! Didn't you avenge yourself?"
"Justice? Humph, when I was first punished, I did seek justice for myself. But now, I no longer seek justice, because I finally see clearly what kind of world this is!"
Guo Nanxing said this resolutely, but Lin Xu keenly caught a hint of unwillingness in his eyes!
"In that case, you can take your family and leave Jiangling! Why do you still want to stay here and continue to be bullied by Xu Nianmin?!"
Xia Dahai was a warm-hearted person, and he complained about Guo Nanxing. This chapter has been completed!
