Wen Chaotian was thirty-eight or nineteen years old, and he served as a county commander to suppress mountain bandits, and he passed through strong winds and waves.

So after the beads left, the little embarrassment had long since dissipated without a trace for him.

Duan Chu invited Wen Chaotian's master and servant into the main hall, and just wanted to pour tea, but was stopped by Xiang'er.

"Master Duan, this kind of work of serving people, it's better for me to come, you guys chat."

Xiang'er looks like she is in her twenties.

After she finished speaking, she took out a bag of tea leaves, brought hot water from the stove again, rinsed the tea set and went to make tea.

"Hit the spring twenty, right? The man's twenty crowns are words, it's time to start a word. Wen Chaotian said.

Wen Chaotian's tone was approachable.

When he brought up this topic, he had already put himself in the position of Duan Chu's close elders.

He gave Duan Chu enough face, and it was clear that Duan Chu had no words, so he would give one.

"My lord, the word, my father left it for me many years ago, Yuan Qi is, but I am an executioner, and my descendants can't even participate in the imperial examination, it really doesn't matter if you want a word or not."

Wen Chaotian is just a lifter, and he does not have a high school jinshi, so in the eyes of officials who were born as jinshi, he is an out-and-out failure of the imperial examination.

Wen Chaotian also can't get used to it, those scholars who have no power to restrain chickens.

He waved his hand and said: "Yuan Qi, for a person like you who has unique skills and is unique in ten thousand, the imperial examination is not the only way to go up, follow me and ensure your future!" ”

Duan Chu didn't have that much ambition for the future.

He said that as long as he works with people who appreciate him, he can ensure that his life is getting better and better.

Wen Chaotian said again: "The first word of the name is from the beginning, which means the beginning of one yuan, it seems that Ling Zun wants you to have a good start, then I, Wen Chaotian, will take you to this beginning!" ”

Wen Chaotian's encouragement also meant cultivating Duan Chu as a confidant.

The dignified four-grade imperial court official, the prefect in charge of Pengzhou's life and death power, how could Duan Chu not be moved by such a small executioner.

Originally, Duan Chu planned to tell Wen Chaotian about the incident on Maling Mountain, but he didn't say anything after thinking about it.

Lord Wen is so good to him, he must protect Lord Wen.

Last night, Jinyiwei died.

Jin Yiwei didn't know if the soldiers died in vain, and he would definitely not give up, Duan Chu didn't want Jin Yiwei and Dongchang to fight and implicate Wen Chaotian.

If you don't tell Wen Chaotian about this, it is tantamount to protecting him.

After Wen Chaotian got the holy decree the night before, he laughed so much that he didn't fall asleep all night.

No one followed the chincha, and the soldiers guarding the gate did not dare to check the chariot of the chincha.

So Wen Chaotian didn't know about Duan Chu and Bai Qieming.

Drinking tea and chatting, Wen Chaotian told Duan Chu again, on the twentieth day of the first month, don't forget to go to the government to discuss matters.

Before leaving, Wen Chaotian looked at the Duan family again.

"Yuanqi, the house is a little dilapidated, let's clean up, repair the doors and windows, renovate inside and out, and add a little furniture, the money is not enough, just go to Mr. Wei."

After Wen Chaotian finished speaking, he took Xiang'er and left.

As soon as Wen Chaotian's servant walked with his front foot, the bead's hind foot rushed out.

"Brother, let's renovate the house, replace the tables and chairs in the main hall with sandalwood, replace the bedroom bed with a pear one, and then make a separate study room, and a thatched house, make a toilet, sprinkle a thick layer of goose feathers underneath......"

Duan Chuyi pouted: "You're crazy!" ”

This executioner's house, in this obscure alley, wanted to sell, but no one came to buy it.

That's why Duan Chu won't spend money on the house.

Although Zhu Zi had a lot of money in her hand, Duan Chu didn't agree, and she had no choice but to give up.

"If Yangchun doesn't come to pick me up in March, then he doesn't agree, and I will also renovate the house...... Phew, why won't the one-eyed dragon come to pick me up, I don't want to be with this stingy guy who is reluctant to decorate the house! ”

……

The next morning, Ma Qianli finally notified the people on the list one by one.

At this time, Wen Chaotian had just moved into the main courtyard where the prefect lived, and he was in a good mood after cleaning up, so he received Ma Qianli, who came to return to his life.

After Ma Qianli reported it, he made a "small" request to Wen Chaotian.

Hearing Ma Qianli say that he wanted to entrust himself as a matchmaker and marry Miss Ma to Duan Chu, Wen Chaotian smiled.

No matter how shrewd Ma Qianli's abacus is, he can't hide it from Wen Chaotian.

However, Wen Chaotian still plans to match, after all, it is a good thing that his two subordinates are married.

Xiang'er was refilling the teacup, and when she saw that Wen Chaotian was about to nod, she coughed lightly.

Wen Chaotian and Xiang'er looked at each other, and politely rejected Ma Qianli.

"Ma catches the head, Ling Ai's situation, I also know, young and beautiful, well-read, Duan Chu is an executioner, not worthy of her, let's discuss it again."

Ma Qianli didn't dare to force it, so he got up and said goodbye.

Back home, the more Ma Qianli thought about it, the more angry he became, and he slapped the table hard.

Mrs. Ma came over and rubbed his shoulders and asked, "Oh, master, who messed with you?" ”

Married couples, ups and downs along the way, there is no need to hide it.

Ma Qianli told Mrs. Ma about finding Wen Chaotian to talk to the matchmaker and being rejected by Wen Chaotian.

When Mrs. Ma heard this, she was anxious.

"What kind of style did you smoke to marry your only daughter to an unlucky executioner! Thanks to Master Wen's sober mind, he knows that Duan Chu is not worthy of our daughter! ”

Ma Qianli thought about it a lot and said, "Do you understand, what does it mean to talk the opposite?" ”

"It's clear that it's Wen Chaotian, I'm too optimistic about Duan Chu, I dislike our daughter, and I'm not worthy of Duan Chu!"

Next, Ma Qianli analyzed that the Wen Dynasty was both astronomical and martial, and it must have a bright future, and the chicken and dog could ascend to heaven with him, not to mention Duan Chu.

Ma Qianli once again exaggerated Duan Chu's ability with his wife.

After this communication, Duan Chu in Mrs. Ma's eyes is not an unlucky executioner, as if he is Pengzhou Mansion, or even a richer state capital, the successor of the future chief catcher.

"Old man, maybe you misunderstood, talking about matchmaking is a matter of three aunts and six women, how can you do this!"

Mrs. Ma meant to find another matchmaker.

"This matter must be done in a hurry, it must be done step by step, let me think about it slowly." Ma Qianli said.

……

After Ma Qianli left, Wen Chaotian asked Xiang'er why just now, and stopped himself from helping to talk about the matchmaker.

"The head of the Duan family, there is a cousin of a childhood sweetheart at home, who has a lot of ears and sideburns, if you go to the Duan family for Ma Qianli, do you let the Duan class master, do you agree or not?"

Wen Chaotian thought about it, if Duan Chu didn't agree with the family affair and it was not good to reject himself, it would be an unsolvable problem for Duan Chu.

"Xiang'er, I am clear in the official affairs of the yamen, but this kind of children's love affair is almost ignored."

"My lord, there is one thing I don't understand, an executioner, why do you rely on him so much?"

As soon as Xiang'er's question came up, Wen Chaotian looked at the knife hanging on the wall.

"Xiang'er, you are young, you don't know the past of the rivers and lakes, Duan Chu's father, nicknamed Duan Maniac, the ghost head knife can go into battle to kill the enemy, and the eyebrow knife is good at close fighting, but unfortunately he died young......"

Wen Chaotian said this and took a sip of tea.

"If he doesn't die, today, if he says that he is the second in sword skills, no one will dare to call him the first."

Xiang'er nodded and said, "I understand, the tiger father has no dogs, Duan Chu is a talent!" ”

……

On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, the snow began to melt in a large area, the weather was cold and windy, and the beads covered the face towel.

"You should go to Blind Liu's house to see if he has any family."

"As long as he has a family, I am not afraid of him!"
