After Ye Chen left the county government with Zhang Qian for a distance, Ye Chen immediately called a carriage and rushed home, and when Ye Chen just arrived at Changqing Street, he saw someone beating gongs and drums at the door of his house and calling his name.

"Ladies and gentlemen, are you looking for me?" Ye Chen asked in the past.

The person who reported the good news looked at Ye Chen and said, "We are looking for Ye Chen, are you?" ”

Ye Chen took out his own way and led it to the person who reported the good news, saying, "Yes, I am Ye Chen." ”

"Come here, everyone, Ye Jieyuan is here. Congratulations to Young Master Ye Chen, you are the solution of the township test this time, and the magistrate specially asked me to wait to come to report the good news, and by the way, I invited you to participate in the banquet in the evening" The official who reported the good news took out an invitation and handed it to Ye Chen.

"Okay, thank you, big brother, this little money is reserved for all the big brothers to buy some wine to drink." Ye Chen took out ten taels of silver and thanked him. This is a custom, and generally the people who make the list will give some money to the people who report the good news, so as to have a celebration.

Zhang Qian next to Ye Chen said with admiration on her face, "Brother, you are so powerful." ”

Ye Chen touched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "It's okay, it should be considered lucky, it just so happens that the examiner likes my exam paper this time." After this, Ye Chen suddenly found that the people here just lack the correct way of development, or because of the centralization of power in the royal family, their vision is still not bad.

"Qian'er, you go with me at night. By the way, I'll help you figure out your way, and we'll be able to get out of here. My brother plans to go directly to Linzhou after leaving Hexian County, and wait until September to take the examination directly. Ye Chen said.

Zhang Qian nodded: "Qian'er listens to her brother, and where her brother is, Qian'er is there." ”

In fact, the problem of Lu Yin is very simple, everyone can go to the government to report and register when they are born, or they can be guaranteed by people with meritorious names and official positions. It's just that since Ye Chen was famous before, he didn't know anyone with official positions, and even food and clothing were still a problem, so he didn't care about giving Zhang Qian any guidance at all.

Fang Fu also received the good news from the officials, although it was the last one, it was also a matter of honoring the ancestors. Now the entire Fang Mansion is the same as the New Year, and Master Fang also instructed the housekeeper that all the subordinates will be paid double this month.

"Dad, you're so good, you casually let me pass the township test, you see you let me pass the test that day." Fang Xing flattered Fang Yang.

"Poof." Fang Yang spit out the tea he had just drunk in his mouth and said, "Do you think this is a play family, a township test is still exchanged for one-fifth of the family property for my father, and it will be different from the township test If it is discovered, even your grandfather will not be able to protect us." ”

Fang Xing hurriedly wiped Fang Yang's clothes, and then said, "Father is wise, I just said casually, in fact, I came here today because I wanted to ask my father. ”

"What's the matter? If you want any money, go to the steward and get it, I have already told it. Fang Yang said helplessly, fortunately, he had made Fang Xing famous, otherwise he would not have survived if he was not there that day, and he would have known to eat, drink and have fun all day long.

"My son recently fell in love with a woman and wanted to take her as a concubine, so I asked my father for approval." Fang Xing said seriously.

Fang Yang thought that his son was sixteen in a blink of an eye, and it was not too early to take a concubine now, so he asked, "It's the ladies of that family, tell me about my father." ”

"It's not a lady, it's just a girl on Changqing Street, although she is a few years younger than me, but when she grows up, she will definitely be captivating." Fang Xing said.

"In that case, then I will tell the housekeeper to prepare a dowry and go to the door to propose a dowry, it is her honor to marry into our family, not to mention that you are also famous now that you are a scholar, but at the banquet in the evening, you have to go with me to thank your examiner." Fang Yang seemed to be in a good mood and agreed directly.

Fang Xingyi said happily: "Thank you, father." ”

Ye Chen was playing with Zhang Qian in the yard when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door, Ye Chen opened the door and became angry.

"May I ask if it's Miss Zhang Qian's house, I am Fang Ye, the head of the Fang family. My lord specially ordered me to give a dowry for my young master to marry Miss Zhang Qian as a concubine, you guys quickly carry things in,"

Ye Chen came out and closed the door and said, "The Fang family is so majestic, can't you marry if you want to?" Ye Chen could see that this housekeeper didn't know what he had done to Fang Xing a few days ago, otherwise he wouldn't be so arrogant.

"Why don't you still have an opinion, it's a great thing to let a little poor girl marry my young master as a concubine. Do you dare to disagree, remember that this is Hexian. Fang Ye said threateningly: "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and carry it in." ”

As soon as Ye Chen wanted to make a move, he saw two people coming from the corner of the street, one was Yang Zhixian, who announced the list today, and the other was the general who was standing next to him today, Ye Chen, who was originally going to make a move, stopped, but didn't let Fang Ye and the others enter the door.

Yang Zhixian went to Yu De after reading out the results of the township examination today, and he and Yu De agreed to go together to see who this kind of article can write Liangzhou words and the general trend of the world for a long time. Yu De had already sent someone eight hundred miles to expedite someone to send Ye Chen's article to Linzhou to the general the day before yesterday.

As soon as the two of them walked to Changqing Street, they saw a team of people who gave a dowry standing there, and Yang Zhixian said: "Could it be that someone gave a dowry to Ye Chen's daughter, let's go over and take a look?" In the eyes of the two of them, Ye Chen was still that kind of hermit master, at least forty or fifty years old.

"What's going on?" Yang Zhixian walked over and asked.

Fang Ye knew at a glance that he was going to suffer, he recognized that this was the magistrate of Hexian County, and he often had trouble with his own master, if he knew that he was forcibly giving a dowry, it was estimated that this matter would be messed up, so he still stubbornly said: "I told the county lord that I came to give a dowry to Miss Zhang Qian for our young master Fang Xing." ”

"Lord Zhixian, please don't listen to the villain's words, they didn't come to give a dowry, but they came to rob my sister not long ago, and now they threaten me with a dowry and I want my little sister to obey Fang Xing, that bastard." Ye Chen said beside him.

Yang Zhixian also recognized Fang Yedao now: "Who are you, is this Zhang Qian your sister?" ”

"In Xia Yechen, Zhang Qian is my sister." Ye Chen bent over and said.

"What? Are you Ye Chen? The solution of the township test? Yang Zhixian and Yu De were stunned, what kind of situation is this, it is completely different from what they imagined, what kind of hermit master is this, just a child who has not grown all his hair.

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Yes, if the person who announces the good news has not said anything wrong, I am the Xie Yuan." ”

Fang Ye was a little dizzy at this time, this Ye Chen was still Xie Yuan, and the young master also came here to forcibly marry someone and was driven away once, but the master didn't say anything to himself.

Although Yang Zhixian was shocked in his heart, he nodded and suppressed the surprise in his heart and said to Fang Ye next to him: "Did you hear it, is this true?" ”

"It's all a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. Since Brother Ye doesn't agree, then we'll go back first, say goodbye, and know the county. After Fang Ye finished speaking, he left with a disgraced face.
