Chapter 526: It's not over yet
She Xu Wenlan is a civilian, her life is like a mustard, a big man can ruin her life with a word, and ask for her life, but so what? She won't admit defeat until she dies, and this is not the end, but just the beginning......
Having made up her mind in her heart, Xu Wenlan only felt that she was full of strength again.
Vaguely heard a low reprimand outside, the carriage suddenly stopped, Xu Wenlan lifted the curtain to look, but it was Mr. Zhang who jumped out of the carriage in the carriage behind, turned around and asked, "Don't you regret it?" β
"No regrets." Bai Shengwen responded warmly and gave another salute: "Let Mr. worry, but Shengwen would rather stay outside the gate for the rest of his life." β
Xu Wenlan pursed her lips, and suddenly knew what the two were talking about.
It must have been Mr. Zhang who persuaded Bai Shengwen to stay in Beijing and wait for the release of the list, but Bai Shengwen made up his mind to return to the customs now.
In fact, Xu Wenlan also felt a little pity, after reading the book for so many years, she naturally hoped that her brother could be promoted to become an official, but if Bai Shengwen was an official outside the Guan, she stayed outside the Guanguan by herself, but she felt aggrieved - a dilemma.
I have to say that Bai Shengwen was too considerate, and she didn't give her a chance to be selfish, and she directly finalized the matter, Xu Wenlan was actually satisfied, but she felt wronged by Bai Shengwen in the end.
After driving through Tianjin, they only stayed for two days, and the matter of opening a shop in Beijing was decided, leaving Butterfly and Asa behind, and Xu Wenlan and others hurried on the road again.
When I was passing through the mountain customs, I heard that the list was released, and I don't know how Boss Shen got the news, saying that Bai Shengwen was in the second list of Jinshi, although it was said that he was at the bottom of the list, and he was already outside the hundred, but he was still on the list.
"It's a pity, if Shengwen stays in Beijing, he may be able to get a good position if he walks around."
"What's the pity?" Bai Shengwen looked at Boss Shen and said with a smile: "Winning the Jinshi proves that I haven't studied in vain all these years, and it's worth it, as for whether I am an official or not, it doesn't matter if I am not an official at all." Wen Lan, do you remember what I said I was doing to be an official? β
"Let the family live a good life......" Xu Wenlan laughed when she thought about it, Bai Shengwen's ideals were too down-to-earth, they were simply small peasant thoughts, and there was no idea of benefiting the officials and the people at all.
"Yes, then do you say that our family's life is not good now?" Bai Shengwen smiled and held Xu Wenlan's hand, and said softly: "It's just that I'm afraid I'll have to rely on you to raise me in the future." β
With her eyes flickering, Xu Wenlan's nose was sour, but she smiled and waved her hand, and said proudly: "I can afford it!" Brother, I am willing to support you. β
"Hmm......" Bai Shengwen chuckled, holding Xu Wenlan's hand without the slightest embarrassment.
Boss Shen shook his head, as if he felt helpless and interesting: "Don't be so pessimistic, no matter what, there is always a county magistrate...... Your husband and princess won't look at you. It's just that I'm afraid that you'll only be in the bitter cold county for a lifetime. β
"Is it really a magistrate?" Bai Shengwen blinked, and suddenly smiled: "Can Uncle Shen help me intercede, if you want to be a magistrate, it's better to be a magistrate of Heishui directly!" β
Xu Wenlan was also happy when she heard it: "Wow, that's amazing!" Brother, you are the magistrate of Heishui, then I will be the richest man in Heishui in the future, squeeze Chengyu and them down, and we will also be the first in Heishui......"
Be a gentleman, take the dog shopping, fight cocks, and flirt with a beautiful woman, her crossing road should be like that!
Tilting her head, Xu Wenlan looked intoxicated, and she couldn't stand Boss Shen, so she threw up her sleeves and left.
Bai Shengwen kept smiling, until he was sure that the footsteps had gone far and the person had not come back, and then he held Xu Wenlan's hand: "It's a pity, there are too few places near the sea outside the gate......"
As soon as Xu Wenlan heard it, she knew that this was talking about their plan.
It's a pity, if Feng Shen Yinde hadn't gone suddenly, they should have had time to lay out.
"It's okay! I heard that we are next to the Rakshasa country outside the gate, and there are many lands across the Rakshasa country, and the people there are all blond hair and green eyes! β
"That's a foreigner......" Bai Shengwen's voice was suffocated, and he suddenly understood what Xu Wenlan meant, so he couldn't help laughing, held Xu Wenlan's hand with his backhand, and said softly: "Yes, it's not over yet......"
Yes, everything is not over, one day, she Xu Wenlan will become a very rich and rich person! One day, she will leave the land outside the Guan, and even if she can't, her children and grandchildren will return to that prosperous Jingshi again......
End of book
postscript
The snowflakes are flying, and the first snow in Beijing is so big that it almost buries the entire capital.
The carriage stopped in front of the house, the curtain was lifted, and a thin girl did not need to step on it, but only jumped out of the car with the help of the hands of the subordinates.
The girl who got down from the carriage in front of her wrapped her fur fur tightly, and when she looked back and saw the girl's movements, she immediately frowned and whispered: "Hillbilly, you have lost all the face of our Guo Buluo family......
Her voice was not high, but the girl heard it, turned her head, a pair of beautiful eyes swept over the girl, she smiled, although the voice was not high, but every word was clear.
"What is a hillbilly? Do you mean me? My cousin is so funny! Just because you live in Beijing, you are high, and I am a hillbilly from outside the Guan. How ridiculous! Isn't that where the emperor lives? What's the big deal? What's more, it's not a few years ago, and it may not be the ...... that has the final say in Beijing."
Before the girl could finish her words, she was interrupted by a cough from the servant woman beside her. The girl raised her eyebrows, looked at her mother beside her, and pouted: "Speaking of me as a hillbilly, I have to ask, cousin, have you ever taken the train?" Can you talk to those foreigners? Do you know how to play a foreigner's piano? Have you ever lived in a stone house built by Lao Maozi? Have you ever been to a foreigner's ballroom to see them ballroom dancing? β
A series of questions pressed the girl to the ground, and the girl raised her head with satisfaction: "We have them over there, and I still have the clothes worn by foreigners!" It's just that my mother won't let me wear it to Beijing - we are, but it's not a country place to be called 'Little Paris of the East'! β
"You ......" The girl who was so angry stretched out her hand to point at the girl, but she couldn't scold anything else.
The girl turned her head and looked into the snow.
In the snow, the Forbidden City in the distance did not look very real, but the girl's eyes became brighter and brighter.
"Isn't it the Forbidden City? I'll go in and see it somedayβwhat's there? I heard my mother say that my ancestor even went to Lao Maozi's palace to play! It's this Jingli, and it's also my ancestor who moved to Guanwai because he couldn't live in it......"
The girl was so angry that her face turned red: "Wanrong, you just blow it!" It's not rare to live - it wasn't kicked out of Beijing, was it? β
"Phew, you just got kicked out of Beijing......" The little girl spat, chased the girl's figure and ran into the house, and soon disappeared behind the shadow wall.
The snow was full of snow, and the two lions in front of Guo Buluo's Mansion stood wordlessly in the snow, as if they had seen all the vicissitudes of the world, but they were silent......
