Magistrate Zhen finished reviewing the case at hand, straightened his clothes, and went to the flower hall to see Wei Yan.
Before meeting Wei Yan, Magistrate Zhen had an image of a scholar in his mind.
But after seeing him in person, Magistrate Zhen was still surprised.
Wei Yan was indeed as he imagined, with handsome features and a bookish air between his brows. But what was even more outstanding was his temperament, that aristocratic temperament that was unforgettable at first sight.
Originally, this temperament was not very obvious in the county town. Later, Wei Yan lived in Fucheng with Mr. Meng, and Mr. Meng took him to visit many famous people.
Over time, as his horizons broadened, Wei Yan's aristocratic temperament became more and more obvious. When a person saw him, he would feel that his future was limitless.
After Magistrate Zhen was surprised, complicated emotions arose in his heart.
As a man, he certainly knew the reason why Wei Yan came to visit him.
In this matter, Magistrate Zhen did not act honestly, so when facing Wei Yan, he instinctively felt guilty and used a warm attitude to cover up his inner uneasiness.
"I heard early in the morning that there is a student named Wei in the county. Not only did the director of the Cultural Academy praise you highly, but Mr. Lu also told me about you and praised you for your outstanding talent and good character. Today.
As soon as I saw it, it was indeed extraordinary."
Facing Magistrate Zhen's praise, Wei Yan just smiled faintly: "My lord said that, I don't deserve it. The student has been living in Fucheng for a long time. Only when I came back this time did I know that my lord has taken great care of my wife during this time.
Wei would like to thank you."
Wei Yan did not talk about students at this time, but talked about Wei, and mentioned the word wife, which made Magistrate Zhen feel uneasy.
It seems that Shen Xiu told Wei Yan everything, and the purpose of Wei Yan's visit today is very clear.
"Actually, it's all a misunderstanding." Magistrate Zhen wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Wei Yan.
"Mr. Wei will definitely remember your kindness in taking care of my wife. However, although Mr. Wei is a scholar, he can still support his wife and children. I heard that Mr. Wei has newly married a noble concubine. I am here to congratulate you."
Yes. In the future, when Madam is expecting a child, Mr. Wei will definitely bring his wife over from Fucheng to congratulate you."
After hearing these words, Magistrate Zhen felt very uncomfortable.
He is also a smart man, and of course he understood the meaning of Wei Yan's words.
The kindness of taking care of him is nothing more than remembering his hatred for seizing his wife. This is a clear expression of his dissatisfaction.
Later, he said that he was a scholar, but he could also support his wife and children, which made it more obvious that he would stay away from Shen Xiu in the future.
Then he mentioned the concubine he had taken, which was almost a disguised reminder to him that since he already had a beautiful concubine by his side, he should not pester Shen Xiu in the future.
Magistrate Zhen understood the meaning of Wei Yan's words. While feeling guilty, his old face couldn't help but blush slightly, feeling that the secret things in his heart had been completely spied on.
In fact, after getting Qiao Meier, Magistrate Zhen had given up his obsession with Shen Xiu.
However, Shen Xiu was so resistant at first, which more or less made Magistrate Zhen have a different thought towards her.
In this regard, Shen Xiu is absolutely right. What you can't get is always the best.
However, Magistrate Zhen hid it so well that he only occasionally had an idea.
Now that Wei Yan came to investigate and said such words, Magistrate Zhen completely gave up the thought in his heart.
Shen Xiu waited in the house for a long time before Wei Yan finally came back.
She first glanced at Wei Yan and then asked, "Ms. sir, you didn't do anything, did you?"
"Why do you do it?" Wei Yan said, "Your husband is a scholar, not a martial artist."
Shen Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, it was best not to take action.
However, seeing that Wei Yan didn't look good, Shen Xiu cautiously said, "Then what did you say?"
"It doesn't matter what we said. What's important is that you can't stay here in the county anymore." After Wei Yan finished speaking, he looked at Shen Xiu and said, "I want you to move to Fucheng."
Do you really want to move to Fucheng?
Shen Xiu also thought about this issue last night. After all, she was reluctant to leave here. When Shi County Magistrate was so excessive, Shen Xiu never thought of leaving.
"Ms. sir, please let me think about it." Shen Xiu hesitated, "I just bought a piece of fertile land and went to Fucheng like this. I really can't worry about it. And the business of the embroidery shop can't just be put down."
After all, she has been operating here for two years and already has her own network of contacts.
Wei Yan patiently analyzed the pros and cons for her and said, "I've thought about it for you. There are embroidery workshops here in the county, and there aren't many rich people. After all, the business you receive is limited. Sometimes you have to consider the embroidery workshop.
, you can’t show off your skills.”
"But it's different if you go to Fucheng. Fucheng is much more prosperous than the county town, and there are more wealthy people, so business is naturally easy to do. And I've met a lot of people in Fucheng. At least I can help you get a foothold in Fucheng."
Of course, the most important thing is that if he goes to Fucheng, even if Magistrate Zhen is interested in Shen Xiu, he will only have regrets.
You must know that Fucheng is not within his sphere of influence. As long as Shen Xiu goes to Fucheng, there is nothing Magistrate Zhen can do.
However, Wei Yan didn't want to mention Magistrate Zhen in front of Shen Xiu, especially his feelings for Shen Xiu, so he only talked about business.
Shen Xiu was indeed a little tempted after hearing Wei Yan's analysis of the pros and cons.
After she came back from Fucheng last year, the business of the embroidery shop was indeed not as good as before. Later she went to Pengcheng again, and the business of the embroidery shop was even worse.
At this time, it is not impossible to transfer the embroidery shop and then develop it in Fucheng.
"But I have just purchased a piece of fertile land. If I leave like this, I will be a little worried about the management."
Wei Yan asked: "How big is the farmland? If you need to take care of things, I can ask Ziwen to help."
"I have found a steward named Ma." Shen Xiudao, "But I still can't figure out his details."
Shen Xiu told Wei Yan everything about Guanshi Ma in detail.
Wei Yan said: "During this period, I lived with Mr. Meng in Fucheng and met a lot of people. My taste in seeing people has also improved greatly. If you are worried, why don't you let me meet this steward?"
."
Shen Xiu knew Wei Yan's ability, and he always had a good vision. He made friends with Qu Huan and Yuan Ziwen, each of whom had their own merits.
There is also Tao Siqian, such a gentle and elegant person who hides himself well in front of others and behind the scenes, but Wei Yan doesn't have a very good impression of him.
If Shen Xiu hadn't learned the truth about Tao Siqian from Mi Xinzhi, she might have been confused by his appearance.
It was precisely because of Tao Siqian that Shen Xiu felt more and more that Wei Yan was very accurate in judging people.
She thought for a while and then made up her mind, "Okay, then I will take you to see the manager Ma. If you think his character is good enough, I will go back to Fucheng with you."
