Liu Xun turned pale after being scolded by Lu Shanming and wanted to get angry, but when he saw the two servants following him, he still didn't have the confidence.
"You can only show off with words. No matter how powerful you are, you will still be defeated by Chen Zhongqian. You will never be able to defeat him."
He felt that Chen Zhongqian was Lu Shanming's pain point, but who knew Lu Shanming had figured it out a long time ago.
"Yeah, I won't win if I can't win. Anyway, he's first and I'm second, which is quite impressive. If I can't figure it out, then don't you have to jump into the river and commit suicide? You only get that ranking when you treat others as dogs.
, I would be too embarrassed to tell anyone."
Liu Xun gritted his teeth, "You and I are both officials in the court, and we will always see each other in the future. Don't go too far."
Lushan Ming smiled and said, "Yes, yes, you should leave quickly and find your good future. We in Yonghe Town cannot afford a big Buddha like yours."
Go away quickly, I can't afford to disgrace this man, who is from the same hometown as you.
Just as Liu Xun was about to get in the car, Chen Zhongqian and Lin Xixie came towards him. He thought about it and stopped her.
"I felt sorry for you back then. If you don't have a good life in the future, you can come to me. After all, we grew up together, so I should make it up to you."
Lin Joy blinked, "You're not even married yet, so you're just saying this, aren't you afraid that your wife will be jealous?"
Chen Zhongqian glanced at her, and Lin Xixi smiled, "I don't know who is unhappy. If you are unhappy, don't come to me. I'm not as generous as you."
Liu Xun snorted. Everyone looked down on him. He must prove that these people were wrong and that the path he chose was the right one.
After his carriage left, Lin Joy said, "Why are you staring at me?"
"You are asked to seek refuge, but you are still worried that his wife will be jealous. How considerate of you."
Lin Xixi was very happy, "I didn't expect you to be jealous even thinking about this. Are you still the same person as before? I don't know who shouted to make peace with me and let me marry a good one."
Chen Zhongqian was a little embarrassed and cleared his throat, "Don't mention the past." Didn't you think that you wouldn't live long at that time?
Lin Yuxi said, "Then don't mention the fact that I was engaged to him. I'll mention it endlessly."
"He mentioned it first."
"You don't care what he does."
The couple were having a good time bickering, and Lu Shanming came over and said, "You guys are really in love."
Lin Yuxi looked at him, why did this man come over to talk? Wasn't he at odds with Chen Zhongqian?
Chen Zhongqian nodded, "That's natural."
Lushan Ming snorted, why should he be proud? He also has a wife, and he also wants to go back to love and love her. If he can't pass Chen Zhongqian in the exam, is it possible that he can't compare with love?
He came here to talk not to express his feelings about their love as husband and wife, but to tell Chen Zhongqian about the news he had heard, which was nothing more than his appointment.
"Don't be careless. Although you are a prostitute, no one can speak for you. Everyone has a relationship. In the end, I don't know where you will be employed."
Chen Zhongqian said, "It's useless to know this, I have to go anyway."
"You are quite open-minded." Lu Shanming smiled, "I underestimated you before, but if we meet in officialdom in the future, I will never underestimate you again."
Chen Zhongqian nodded, "Thank you for your kindness in telling me this. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, it is still your wish. I will accept it."
Lu Shanming looked at him and said, "You really deserve a beating."
"A little worse than you."
Lu Shanming also accepted him. Anyway, he just didn't want to suffer a loss, and it would be the same if the argument continued.
Thinking that we won't be able to see each other again in the future, I still feel a little reluctant to let go, but how can a real man shed tears in the street?
He reached out and patted Chen Zhongqian's shoulder, "Take care."
Chen Zhongqian nodded, "Take care."
The couple went home together. Chen Zhongqian went back to the house and took a book to read. Although he didn't want to think about it, the fact was before his eyes and he would leave here soon.
Most of the new scholars will enter the Hanlin Academy, and the vacancies of local officials will also be filled. These two places will consume most of them.
It was impossible to get anywhere near home. He didn't want to bow his head to anyone, for fear that he would really go to a place where no one would shit.
Lin Yuxi made him a cup of tea, "There is nothing that needs to be arranged at home. It's just the few acres of land and the family's house. The land is still cultivated by the grandfather's family. Just ask them to come and take a look at the house occasionally."
"
Chen Zhongqian took a sip of tea, raised his head and asked her, "Do you like it here?"
Lin Hexi nodded, "I like it."
He wanted to say something else, but Lin Yuxi interrupted him directly, "But it's interesting for me and Xiaoyu Xiaoduo to live here only if you are here. It's good to stay. I'm used to everything. Renjitang
Heshanhetang also needs me, but this family is incomplete."
"Don't even think about leaving us here. I won't agree to it, and neither will the kids. So what if it's a remote place? Just stay together as a family of four."
"If Xiaoyu doesn't have a place to go to school, then let you teach him. He is very smart and you are good at teaching. He won't be bad. I can continue to teach him boxing and kicking. Xiaoduo continues to learn medicine and wood carving. She finds it interesting.
.”
Chen Zhongqian still couldn't say anything, so he nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
A few days later, Chen Mingyi and Chen Zhongda came back from Fucheng. Chen Mingyi's face was red, and it looked like he was in good luck.
Someone met them when they entered the village. Seeing that he was happy, the man asked with a smile, "Uncle Chen, where have you been these past few days? It seems like you are in for something good."
Chen Mingyi is not a person who likes to show off. He likes to be happy at home, but this incident made him so happy that he couldn't help but talk about it with others.
"It's a happy event. My Zhongda has not yet decided to get married at this age. That's because he was delayed in his scientific examination. Now that his marriage has been settled, I can feel at ease."
The man smiled and said, "Oh, I didn't know that Zhongda had already decided to get married. People in the village have been talking about it these days. I don't know which girl is lucky enough to marry Zhongda."
Chen Mingyi waited for someone to say this, and said casually, "It's Mr. Futai. She's a high-ranking official, and she's the only daughter in the family. Speaking of which, our Zhongda is the one who ranks higher."
As soon as he said this, the people who asked didn't know how to answer. The common people didn't even know how big an official Futai was, but when he heard it, he knew it was not simple.
The man was stunned for a moment and then said, "It's too high a climb. Zhongda is a young talent. We all said that only Miss Wei is worthy of him."
Chen Mingyi thought to himself, what does the Wei family mean? They are not even worthy of carrying shoes for the Song family.
Previously, he was so short-sighted that he even thought about getting married to the Wei family, and he was also worried that the Wei family would not be willing to do so.
Now it seems that the Wei family is nothing. Only the daughter of the Song family is worthy of Zhongda.
