The day after returning to his home, Zhu fortune teller came to the tavern, and Shi Qi asked curiously: "Master Zhu, have you eaten the delicacies of the mountains and seas at Lord Ouyang's mansion, are you still used to eating the dishes of our tavern?" Zhu fortune teller said: "The situation of the people, I really can't describe it, even if you have read the book for ten years, you can't say that kind of prosperity, I sat next to Lord Ouyang, the sweat on my body came out, and he was either a huge rich or a big official." Don't say that we haven't seen that dish, even if I do, I have to see how people eat it to know how to eat, for fear of making a joke. ”

The business of the tavern was originally good, and Zhu's fortune-telling appeared when there were the most people, and a lot of people gathered around him for a while, and everyone stopped drinking, listening to Zhu's fortune-telling tell him what he had seen. With his nonsense, combined with the ignorance that most people did not have the opportunity to come in person, Zhu Fortune Teller very proudly exaggerated the process of his entry into the governor's mansion tenfold, of course, not mentioning that he let the family take away the main seat on the way to eat.

Originally, Governor Ouyang's banquet was already very extravagant, so Zhu fortune teller rendered, and everyone only drooled about the situation of the wealthy family. They listened to the taste of the food that the rich man Zhu told about the taste of those foods that did not reach their mouths, and fantasized that one day they could marry a girl from a big family, and they could live their lives in vain. Jiang Xianglian asked, "Is it really as good as he said?" Does the girl in Ouyang Xiangfu have to take the exam the same as you do to take the fame test? ”

Shi Qi looked at her and asked, "What?" Tempting? Want to go too? Don't know that Houmen is as deep as the sea? There is no need for exams, as long as you look passable, your family is willing to go, if you want to go, I can help you send it over, you have no problem with your appearance. He told Jiang Xianglian that when she entered the mansion as a girl, she was a rag for her master, just like the rag in the tavern, she could wipe it anywhere, and if it was broken, she would throw it away.

Jiang Xianglian said: "Listen to what he said, Houmen is really good, there is no chance, there is a chance to come out, it is at least the wife of such a rich man who is a fortune teller of Zhu, much better than those of us who grew up in a small family and have no chance in our lives." Shi Qi asked, "Then why don't you stay at Hu Zuocheng's house?" If I had known you had this idea, I shouldn't have brought you out in the first place. Shi Qi was obviously not very happy, Jiang Xianglian said: "I just sighed, Master Daozhen said that you can also be lifted in the future, maybe it is a lady's life, it is not much better than being a girl, it is not good to say a good word now, it is really stingy." Jiang Xianglian wanted to lead Shi Qi to smile, but he just looked at her, but he couldn't laugh, the place he was describing was his master Daozhen's former home.

Zhu fortune teller while gesturing, sometimes peeking at Jiang Xianglian behind the counter, with his family study message that night, he no longer dared to blatantly think about Jiang Xianglian. He understands that the cartridge that does not spill a drop on the courtyard wall is not something that an ordinary martial artist can do, it is a demonstration, he looked at Jiang Nanshan, he really couldn't find it at all, there was not much spirit, there was actually a kung fu that was not exposed, and the real person did not show his face, not fake at all.

Without waiting for the rich man Zhu to report, the county magistrate took a small sedan chair to Qingshi Town, he arrived at Zhu's fortune teller's house, and the housekeeper invited him into the main hall. When the rich man came out of the back room, he enthusiastically helped the county lord to sit down and said, "I was about to visit the governor's house, and I handed your name to the governor's house, and your gift list was also attached to the back. Master, you have seen the world, I can't describe that scene, I'm not afraid that you will be unhappy, we think that the gifts we have prepared are rich enough, and we will not know until we arrive. But fortunately, my insider is familiar with the housekeeper, he reported to his wife, and Mrs. thinks that it is rare for a county lord to have this heart, and you will be a high-ranking official in the future, don't forget me, the rich man. ”

Zhu Fortune teller boasted to the county magistrate about how many high-ranking officials had come to the capital, and how many good dishes and good tableware there were, all of which he had never seen before. He gave the county magistrate a few copies of some of the capital items that his wife brought back from the house, saying that it was the governor's wife who returned the gift, and the county magistrate was as excited as a baby, and he didn't know how many valuables Zhu fortune teller exchanged for small objects. He didn't worry about being a goof, as the county lord, he didn't have a chance to meet the governor's wife, so he couldn't prove it.

Zhu told the county master to retire, and he told the county master that they had opened a new tavern on the ground, and the one standing at the counter was a good-looking woman. It's just that the shopkeeper behind the woman is a man in the rivers and lakes, and he is not very easy to offend, so he mysteriously invited the county lord to the tavern to have a look. There is no man who is not good at this, the county lord looked at the rich man Hu, as soon as he took office, he knew that Hu fortune teller was a person, if it wasn't for too heavy thorns, he would not give the information to himself, the county lord knew that the tavern shopkeeper in his mouth was not only a person in the rivers and lakes, but his status must have reached the point where Hu fortune teller couldn't touch.

Thinking of these, the county magistrate couldn't express that he was also afraid of the people in the rivers and lakes, after all, now that he is in power, he has the final say on this one-third of an acre, but he can't let Hu fortune teller underestimate it. Moreover, he is a good person who says that women are good-looking, they must not be wrong, hobbies are the best teachers, he can taste the taste, the county lord synthesized his own judgment and considered and said: "I am a parent official, I can't go to a tavern for a little girl, so what kind of system does it become to spread out?" In this way, today, I will go back later, you have clothes to borrow for me to wear, and I will also have a private visit to Weifu, in the end to see what the person you are talking about, you go with me, and other people are at your house. ”

Zhu fortune teller came to the tavern with the county lord again, Shi Qi and Jiang Nanshan both felt strange, they only came yesterday, why did they come again? also brought a family member who had not seen before, Shi Qi enthusiastically ushered the two to the seat as usual, and was about to serve them wine, Hu fortune teller looked at the county master and said: "The wine should be good, the food should be good, this is my friend from afar, do it neatly and quickly." The two of them looked at Jiang Xianglian behind the counter at the same time, there were also many girls in the backyard of the county government, Jiang Xianglian's appearance did not reach the national color and fragrance, but the tavern was too simple and the people around her were too unsophisticated. Jiang Xianglian's clean clothes wrapped her mature body tightly, her face was slightly ashamed, she didn't smile and was sweet, and there was a contrast between high and low. The county lord has seen a lot of rouge, whitewash, gorgeous clothes, and crown belts, and in this place, at first glance, the wildflowers of the wasteland are of course brightened.

He turned his face and whispered to Zhu Fortune Teller that the Jiang Nanshan he was talking about had no heroism in his eyes, not like a hero of the rivers and lakes. Of course, Zhu couldn't tell him about the ink cartridge on the courtyard wall, he understood that the kung fu of that body could not be done by artificiality, and it was impossible to believe it if he didn't see it with his own eyes, even with the help of a ladder, he couldn't guarantee that it wouldn't be sprinkled, let alone when there was no light at night. He smiled and said: "The road is simple, the sound of the sound, the elephant is invisible, only so it can be summed up, it should also have practical experience, I didn't see it before, I heard the family Ding said that he moved without wind, but the gait was not unstable when it was blocked, my family tried it." ”

The county magistrate made Jiang Xianglian's natural and slightly wild hook lose his concentration, and he asked Jiang Nanshan to stop cooking and come out to drink two bowls together. The county magistrate said: "This old man, you, the shopkeeper of the tavern, still cook the dishes yourself?" Drinking is Jiang Nanshan's hobby, just like the two old men in front of him love women, he didn't have time to answer the question, he first made a bowl and said: "Small business, can't afford to hire people, only do it yourself." ”

The county lord asked, "Are you really the eldest son of the Jiang family in the past?" Why did you come back, father and daughter? What about them, Lord Jiang? Jiang Nanshan said: "Pingshui meets, I don't know why this friend of Master Zhu must let me talk about those sad pasts, our family has long since lost Lord Jiang, and I don't know where the other members are now, so I chose to come back and borrow a piece of treasure land from Master Zhu to open a tavern, I want to have the opportunity to contact more passers-by to ask about the news of the family, and also leave a place for the family to come back." He said it in a bleak tone, in a tragic tone, without a trace of the kind of full-bodied, arrogant arrogance of everything.

The county lord has counted, Zhu Caizhu used to be a fortune teller, although he has been to the governor's yamen, but after all, he has seen relatively few scenes, and the people in the rivers and lakes are not like Jiang Nanshan, pretending, he needs better skills, he is not not like, he is not. What the rich man said about moving without the wind and not losing stability under his feet may be just a coincidence, and the people are deliberately bluffing. He asked tentatively: "The people here are simple, the little girl should be at home, and she can't come out to this kind of occasion. ”

Jiang Nanshan looked at Jiang Xianglian, of course he was worried, but there was no better way, and he couldn't just eat at home, he was afraid of the previous days. He said: "Thank you for the care of the guest officer, we are a small family, and there is Master Zhu in the local area to call the shots for us, and passers-by from outside do not have the courage to do so, if there is something to do, Master Zhu will be angry for the small one." He was cautious, and did not have the kind of imposing momentum and tangible peace that the rich man Zhu said.

If you don't see it, forget it, of course the meat on the side of your mouth doesn't want to vomit, Zhu fortune telling has experienced, the handwriting in his study is the same as the wine trick outside the door, every time he comes, as long as he looks at the font, he immediately swallows Jiang Xianglian's coveting. The county master has not experienced it, this is the ground under his jurisdiction, no matter how big it is, it can't be bigger than him, if he really has any outstanding background or the kind of skill described by Zhu fortune telling, they don't need to eat such a bowl of hard rice. Thinking of this, the county lord said: "Shopkeeper Jiang, I am a friend of Master Zhu, your tavern faces the official road, and there is no decent restaurant within a radius of dozens of miles, run it well, I will come again next time not far away." After speaking, he and Zhu looked at Jiang Xianglian again and went back.

Looking at the back of them going back, Jiang Nanshan asked Jiang Xianglian to come over, and he said to Shi Qi: "Have you found it?" I thought that the rich man Zhu had found out in conscience, and suddenly he didn't want three taels of silver, it turned out that he didn't want to offend his neighbors, and now he invited friends from other towns, I don't think anything good will happen. When your second uncle comes back, we will choose a day and finish the affairs of the two of you, and after the round house, they will no longer think about Xianglian's thoughts. Shi Qi asked, "What is a round house?" Jiang Xianglian covered her face and returned to the counter, Jiang Nanshan sighed and said: "I know that you are young and ignorant, but there is no way, and I can't watch Xianglian may suffer accidents. ”

Shi Qi said: "That's not good, my mother doesn't know yet, how can I make my own decisions when I get married?" At least you have to take Xianglian back first and let your mother agree. Jiang Nanshan said: "I'm afraid that the night will be long and dreamy, why don't you clean up now and go back and tell your mother?" Shi Qi said: "My mother is in Shifu now, I can't take Jiang Xianglian to that place, I can be later, and after I achieve fame, I will return to Shifu with Xianglian at that time and take my mother out, how decent." ”

When the two of them still wanted to argue, Jiang Dongfeng came back, and after listening to what happened, he said: "I know that the rich man Zhu can't die, and he won't want three taels of silver for nothing." Xianglian's things can be done first, Shi Qi, I don't need to tell your mother, we can hold a wedding, let Zhu Caizhu preside over the marriage, it is for others to see, you are now old, you don't understand anything, and you can't have the same room, it's okay, it's just a formality. Shi Qi heard that it was a formality, he had also read such a topic in the book, but he didn't understand it very well, as long as he wasn't really married, he didn't feel sorry for his mother, and there was no problem in agreeing.

was younger than Shi Qi and got married, and when he received the invitation to marry, Zhu Caizhu did not refuse, but immediately arranged for someone to report to the county master. On the day of the wedding, because the Jiang family was already a down-and-out family, not many people participated, Jiang Dongfeng set up three tables of banquets on the side of the official road, and in the end they were not full. The rich man Zhu made a passionate officiating marriage, and he kept looking into the distance of the official road, as if he was waiting for something.

The wedding was about to be sent to the cave room, and suddenly a few catchers came from afar, they arrived at the wedding scene and loudly asked Jiang Dongfeng to come out for questioning, one catcher did not get off the horse, he asked: "Are you Jiang Dongfeng?" After receiving an affirmative answer, he cleared his throat and said: "Someone reported that a theft case in Fangqiao Town in the west last year was related to you. Now come with us to the county office, and the master will try the case clearly. ”

They didn't give Jiang Nanshan and his entourage a chance to distinguish, and urged them in front of the horse like a cattle, and a happy event suddenly turned into an arrest meeting. Shi Qi watched the petite Jiang Xianglian walk in front of him, and occasionally looked back at him, in the night, the brightness of the torches made her seem more exciting than during the day, Shi Qi had a feeling that she had never had before, this is her own woman? No matter what, she can't be let out of her protection. He knew that it was not a trivial matter to fight against the government, and he was quickly recalling the golden cicada shelling strategies he had seen in the book, and he had not come up with a long-term plan that could get out of control at the same time.

Zhu Caizhu looked at the fading torches that disappeared from his sight after a while, and sighed: "It's better to have power than to have money, don't come during the day, come at night, so that other people can't see it, the impact is small, and those who have the right to do bad things can be thoughtful." He himself returned home a little lost, thinking that the county lord could recuperate earlier, and in the second half of the night, Jiang Nanshan and they entered the county government's prison, and the county lord could deal with the beautiful flowers in hand.
