Chapter 113: Are You Willing to Work for Me?
【Chinese Network】, to provide you with wonderful reading.
However, the three of them are dependent on each other outside, and it is a good thing that they can be reconciled now. At least that's what Harue thinks.
As for the battle of wits and courage between Chai Dong and Xiao Sanzi...... Anyway, when won't they fight? As long as they don't make a big mess, then let them go. She knew they both had a sense of proportion.
As for Wei Zhong's seventh brother and seventh sister-in-law, they didn't come back to look for trouble after they left. However, several times when Chunzhi went out to buy vegetables, she found Wei Zhong's seventh sister-in-law quietly wandering around their house. Every time she saw Chunzhi, she hurriedly hid in the corner, as if she was afraid that she would find out.
It's just that she is such a big person, how can she avoid the sensitive ears and eyes of the little third son?
Every time he heard her footsteps, Xiao Sanzi immediately turned to her side and screamed viciously. Then, Wei Zhong's seventh sister-in-law ran away with her tail between her legs like a thief who had been caught.
Once, Haruka heard her scolding: "This cat is really a sperm!" This is a cat demon! ”
Now that the third son has already driven her away, Chunzhi is happy and comfortable, so he pulls the corners of his mouth. "Let's go, don't pay attention to such people."
The little third son immediately raised his head high and hurriedly ran to the front to help them lead the way.
In this way, time flickered and several days passed. These days, Chunzhi has never asked Chai Dong a word about the exam, and Chai Dong certainly hasn't taken the initiative to mention it. As for Wei Zhong, he didn't know where to get a few pieces of yellow paper, and every morning he had to burn one in a corner of the courtyard, and then recite words to the flames, and what he said was nothing more than begging God to bless him to be able to show his talent.
As the day of the list approached day by day, Harueda's mood became more and more heavy.
On this day, another person came to their door.
This person is not very old, only thirteen or fourteen years old, wearing a green coat and a small hat, with clear eyebrows and handsome eyes and flexible eyes, and he knows at a glance that he is a small servant in a big family.
The little guy handed over an envelope with both hands. "Chai Gongzi, my master invites you to go and talk about it, and please appreciate your face."
Chai Dong took the envelope and opened it to read it, and immediately bowed his head. "Okay, I got it."
Then he nodded to Harueda. "Clean up, let's go!"
"Chai Gongzi, my master only invited you." The little guy hurriedly reminded him.
"I go in and out with my wife, and if she can't go, then I won't go." Chai Dong's face sank immediately, and he was about to return the envelope to him.
Who knows, hearing this, a light smile immediately spread on the little guy's face.
"In that case, then please let Chai Gongzi and Chai Niangzi get in the car with me!"
Chunzhi was stunned, and she looked at Chai Dong stupidly. "What does he mean by that?"
"I'll tell you when I get in the car." Chai Dong whispered and took her hand.
"Oh." Harukeda didn't ask much.
This little guy came by himself. It was a green cloth carriage, very elegant from the inside out, not very good, but not bad. For someone like Harue, who can't even afford a mule, such a carriage is already very good.
When the two of them got into the car, the little guy immediately urged the horse forward. Chai Dong also explained to Chunzhi: "The sentence just now that I didn't let you go with me was just a means for his master to use it to test me." Now that we've passed the temptation, we're all in the car. ”
"Okay, what did he test you with this?" Harueda couldn't figure it out, "Or is it that he actually made two preparations for doing this." If you don't take me, he'll do something; If you take me, he'll stop doing that and work on another? ”
Chai Dong immediately twisted his eyebrows.
"I didn't think about it. However, your guess is also very likely. ”
"So, who is looking for us?" Harueda asked again.
"I don't know." Chai Dong shook his head.
"Don't know?" Chunzhi was shocked, "I don't know if you dare to agree?" ”
"What would you not dare? We are poor and white, and it will not be our turn for others to rob. And you look at this little guy outside, his food and clothing are much better than ours. Therefore, his master must be either rich or noble. Such a person took the initiative to invite me to see me, why didn't I see it? Chai Dong said slowly.
Oh, too! Since he decided to take the path of studying and taking the entrance examination, it would not hurt to know a few nobles so much. Especially now that there are nobles who take the initiative to invite him to the door, this is still giving him a long face!
So, Harue didn't worry anymore. She sat firmly beside Chai Dong, waiting to see where the carriage pulled them.
The carriage left the west side of the city, where they now lived, and went straight to the east of the city. The eastern part of the city is inhabited by the nobles of the provincial capital, who are either extremely noble or have a well-to-do family. As soon as the carriage drove over, Haruka noticed that the world had changed in front of her.
The rows of dense low houses like those in the west of the city are gone, replaced by courtyards with blue tiles and white walls, and each courtyard is located just right, separated by a certain distance between the two and does not disturb each other. Connecting the courtyards are wide roads paved with green bricks, and the roads are quiet, except for the occasional merchant or two who carry their loads and sell their goods.
Their carriage stopped at the gate of a chic little courtyard.
"Two, the place has arrived, please get out of the car!" The little guy jumped out of the car and made a gesture of please to them in the car.
Didn't he even drive the car in? Haruzhi froze for a moment.
The curtain of the car was lifted, and Chai Dong had already gotten up and got out of the car. Haruka was also busy following him down.
This little guy didn't even have the posture of leading them into the door, he just pushed the door open, and pointed inside: "My master is inside, just go in." ”
Who the hell is this owner? It was so mysterious, and countless thoughts drifted through Harueda's mind in an instant.
Chai Dong bowed his head. "Thank you." He grabbed her again, "Let's go!" ”
"Hmm." Harueda nodded, quickly retracted his thoughts, and the two of them walked in together.
When both of them stood on their feet in the courtyard, they heard a bang behind them, and the gate of the courtyard was closed.
Chunzhi's back stiffened suddenly, but Chai Dong had already pulled her forward.
The two men walked through a large open space in front of them to the antechamber. There was already someone in the antechamber waiting there with his back to them. He was dressed in plain clothes, with his hands behind his back, as if he was looking at a calligraphy and painting hanging in front of him. That gentle and elegant bearing made Chunzhi feel familiar.
But who is it? She couldn't remember it for a moment.
And Chai Dong beside her had already bowed to that person. "Chai has seen the prefect."
Oh, my God!
When Chunzhi heard this, she immediately noticed a bang in her head, and she finally remembered!
The back in front of her is really very similar to the Song Prefect she saw outside the examination room that day! It's just that the prefect of Song that day was wearing an official uniform, and his official authority suppressed the elegance on his body. Today he was only wearing regular clothes, and the majestic bearing on his body had faded a lot, and the elegance took the initiative to raise his head. This is also the reason why Harue didn't recognize him in the first place.
Recognizing the deal, she quickly bowed down and saluted. "I've seen the prefect."
There was a hearty laugh in front of him.
"Chai Gongzi and his wife are really smart. You can recognize this official through your back, and your eyesight is really extraordinary! Governor Song smiled and turned around slowly.
Chai Dong raised the corners of his mouth. "Thank you for the compliment."
He is never overly modest about what he can do. Originally, he deserved this praise.
But Chunzhi is a little weak-hearted. After all, she didn't recognize this person at first sight, and she still relied on Chai Dong's reminder to react in time.
It's just that Governor Song's attention is now completely focused on Chai Dong, and he doesn't pay much attention to her.
He walked slowly to Chai Dong, looked at him carefully, and asked with a smile: "Since Chai Gongzi is so smart, then this mansion will not go around in circles with you." I have invited you here today because I want to discuss something with you. ”
"Your Excellency, please speak." Chai Dong bowed his head.
"Outside the examination room, you stuck a knife in the ribs for righteousness, and you quickly found out the truth in the face of danger, and your intelligence really impressed the government. It's just that you were unlucky and encountered that incident, and I'm afraid that this exam will be invalidated. It's just that the government pities you for learning and doesn't want you to go back and waste two years of time. Therefore, the government wants to keep you by your side and entrust you with important tasks, but I don't know if you are willing to work for the government? Governor Song said slowly.
When Chunzhi heard this, she was immediately excited.
Is there such a good thing in the world? Originally, she thought that this time they were finished, but God lowered the curtain and suddenly opened a new way for them!
She hurriedly looked at Chai Dong, thinking that he would also nod happily. However, as far as the eye could see, Chai Dong did not respond with a cold face.
After a while, I saw him shake his head.
"No, I don't." He said. For mobile phone users, please browse M. Reading for a better reading experience.
