Master Peng cleared his throat, asked people to bring tea, invited the two of them to sit down, and also elaborated on what happened at the time: "After we separated from you that year, I ran for a few miles with Fengxia, and I couldn't walk, so we just rested under a tree for a while, but I didn't expect that it was scary at that time." It was night, and we saw that there was no place to rest, so we thought about climbing the tree, and in this wood, how to say that we could go up to the tree, and we could also avoid the coming of wild beasts. Besides, there are several people hugging the big tree, and the main trunk of the horizontal branches above can lie on two people. After I went up with Fengxia's little sister, we spent the night on it. But when we woke up, we were shocked that there were two wolves under the tree, and they couldn't come up, so they had to watch us. โ
looked at the dragon pattern sword in Wu Fengxia's hand: "This sword is really related to your sister, I slept on it for a day, but I didn't expect this to be a sword handle, but Fengxia said to me: "This is an object, I took a closer look and pulled it out, that is, the dragon pattern sword in Fengxia's hand." One by one, one by one" Peng Jingcai told Wu Qingxia in detail what happened at that time.
"Then you lost contact with Xiaoxia after you went down the mountain?" Wu Qingxia asked with concern.
"I lost it, and I didn't know how to find it as a scholar, so I went to the capital to take the exam according to the original family's wishes, because I was delayed in the Evil Wolf Valley, and when I arrived in the capital, I passed the exam period, and it was seven or eight days after the exam. Thinking of the hard work of studying since I was a child, and the wishes of my parents before they died, I felt sad in my heart, so I went into a store to drink and drown my sorrows. It was at that time that I met Ma Haoliang, a scholar who failed to make the list. The two of us are in a foreign country, and we know each other. The two hit it off at first sight, so they got together to drink and relieve their sorrows. And what we don't know, all the words we drink are heard by a person with a heart, and this person with a heart is none other than Master Tan Datong, who is the examiner's private party from time to time, and Lord Tan is also aware of some drawbacks. But as an examiner, there is no way, he can't publish the answers and let everyone take the top exam. โ
"Lord Tan had the heart to approach us, so he came over and drank together, but I never thought that it was because of this Lord Tan's words that I had the position of county order, and Ma Haoliang was also taken by the adult to be the master."
"I once asked my lord in private, how can one of us be a master and the other be a county magistrate. The adults told me that you did not take the entrance examination, but from your conversation, I still know that you are talented and learned, although this county order is a small official, but as a talented person, to prove his talent, he must also have this kind of small official, I know that it is Lord Tan to give himself a chance to prove himself. โ
"In the past year, I have handled not a single unjust or wrongful case, and I have also done a few large and small projects for the benefit of the people. The people of Liancheng County have loved me very much, and I have praised me for coming here. After Lord Tan learned about this situation, in the second year, he wanted to transfer me to the prefect. I have feelings for the people of Liancheng County, and it is through my hands that they have been able to live a good life, and I think I am a useful person. There are still many people who are worried about a county order, and as for the higher-level prefectures, there are even more people. I have no intention of violating the yin and yang in the world, and I chose to continue to serve as the county magistrate of Liancheng.
"I thought that the dust would settle like this, but Lord Tan did not give up on my promotion because of this. Even turned over and urged the appointment, and said that Futai is also Liancheng Futai, but it is just three more counties. As a last resort, I was going to take office, but the next morning, the people of Liancheng knew the news that I was going to take office, and the gate of the county government was full of people kneeling in Liancheng. Master Ma didn't urge, but went back and told Master Tan what he saw. โ
"Lord Tan was shocked, so he accepted the people's requests and asked me to continue to stay as the county magistrate. I only learned from Master Ma afterwards that my lord's move was completely worried about my safety, that is, the people of a county loved it, and there was no storm, if the people of a province or a higher level supported a person so much, it would seem to be a good thing, but in fact, if this matter fell in the eyes of someone with a heart, it would be a bad thing. โ
"Lord Tan is worried that if the opponents of him say that this is a gathering of people to win the hearts of the people, it will be a great sin, and Lord Tan gave up this idea of letting me take office as the governor, but let me continue to serve as the county commander, saying that this is for the sake of my safety. In this way, I have been in office for nearly twenty years, and another important reason is that I know that this place is only two or three days away from the Evil Wolf Valley, and I hope to meet you at the bottom of the mountain sometimes, so that I will have to fulfill my wish since I was a child. โ
"I thought you had been caught, and I hoped that one day you would run out and be accidentally bumped into by me. But all along, there is another thought, that is, before I saw Fengxia, I didn't dare to see you, for fear that if you were up to Fengxia, I wouldn't know how to reply to you, which was equivalent to me losing her. How do I explain it to you? โ
"What else do you need to explain? You are a weak scholar, and you kept running out of the range of their tracking with Xiaoxia in your arms, which I didn't expect? I thought you and Xiaoxia ran into a tiger or a wolf or something? I have never stopped looking for you on the rivers and lakes, but I didn't expect you to be so close to me, only two days away. If I had known it was you, I would have met earlier, and I wouldn't have had to endure so much suffering. When she said this, Wu Qingxia's face was dyed a little flushed.
"If I had sent someone to understand you earlier, but I thought I got into the alley, and I thought that after you went out, you would either take Xiaoxia far away, and you wouldn't be able to escape their eyes as a scholar, and another reason is that I always thought that you didn't go out of the mountain, you must have been eaten by a wolf, and I asked people to search the mountain, but I didn't find any useful clues."
"It's good now, we don't have to separate anymore." When Peng Jingcai said this, he didn't take Wu Qingxia's mind into account at all.
"Brother Peng, where is Mrs. Sister-in-law? Call it out and see you? Wu Qingxia held back this sentence all the time, and when she saw him stop, she asked.
"Sister-in-law? Then how can there be a sister-in-law? Peng Jingcai thought for a while: "I have always been relieved that there is no one girl in my heart, and I don't look down on other girls, so I have never found you a sister-in-law." โ
Wu Fengxia on the side continued: "Sister, what Brother Peng has always remembered in his heart is you, how can he marry a woman he doesn't love?" โ
