After sending Wang Anshi and the others away, the Lin father and son and Lin Feng also left with a full stomach, Chen Mo helped Qin Xianglian clean up, and the two turned off the lights and went to bed.

"Official, the slave family has something to understand."

Qin Xianglian snuggled in Chen Mo's arms, feeling both down-to-earth and happy.

"Just ask, for the husband to know everything."

Chen Mo said as he reached out to find the big white steamed bun.

Qin Xianglian enjoyed it, and asked with hot cheeks: "The official just said that he wants to teach others to read, is it a joke or is it serious?" ”

"Of course it's true." Chen Mo explained, "Why do people say that reading is good? Not only because of the high status of scholars, who can become officials in the future, but also because books can make people enlightened and knowledgeable. Take charcoal burning as an example, the clay kiln method is not as good as dry distillation, and it is not half a star. ”

"What does the official mean, really don't you continue to take the test for fame?"

At this time, Qin Xianglian had already untied the knot in her heart, but she felt a little regretful.

"The purpose of merit is to be an official, and to be an official is to make the people's livelihood. In this case, it is better to skip the process of examiners and go directly to serve the people. ”

Serve?

Qin Xianglian always felt that this sentence was a little awkward, but she couldn't tell where it was.

But since Chen Mo has made up his mind, and he still eats with a pen, it is not easy to persuade him anymore.

"Official, what are you going to do next?"

"If the magistrate asks me to teach, then I will teach and do business at the same time. Also, take advantage of the winter to build a new house. ”

If it weren't for the shyness in his pocket before, Chen Mo would have demolished this dilapidated house long ago.

"What did the official just say, Lord Zhixian?" Qin Xianglian was so shocked that she sat up directly, "I just came, Mo Fei, Mo Fei......"

"You guessed it right, that brother Wang just now is the magistrate."

Chen Mo also sat up and draped the quilt over Qin Xianglian's shoulder.

"How did the officials know?" Qin Xianglian was shocked.

"First of all, they don't speak with a local accent. Secondly, the things that are talked about always revolve around the county test. Finally, it has been vaguely reminding me to pursue a career in the future. ”

In addition to what he said, Chen Mo also had two bases hidden in his heart.

First, Steward Hu said that he was here to enjoy the autumn scenery, and when he talked with the villagers, he accidentally learned about his residence, so he came to visit the door.

This argument is simply untenable.

Second, it's still Steward Hu.

Chen Mo remembered clearly that when he was taking the Jingyi test before, he was expelled from the examination room with his front foot, and Steward Hu with his back foot found the river.

At that time, it seemed to be a chance encounter, but at this moment, I will recall it, how can it be such a coincidence.

The fundamental reason is that he has been targeted for a long time.

If nothing else, it was the half of "The Charcoal Seller" that made a fuss.

Even the notarized documents that Wang Fuxing sent to the county for the test may have been ordered by the above.

"The official's analysis is reasonable, but since you know the identity of the magistrate, why didn't you explain it at the time, so you are not afraid of offending people because of this?"

Thinking of everything at the dinner table, Qin Xianglian became uneasy.

"To say it is to offend people." Chen Mo comforted, "The magistrate is wearing civilian clothes to go out, obviously he doesn't want people to know, right?" ”

"That's right, it's the slave family who is panicking."

Qin Xianglian stuck out her tongue, and finally she was not nervous.

She breathed a sigh of relief, but Chen Mo became short of breath.

Especially when he bumped into Qin Xianglian's puzzled eyes, he was about to pounce when he got up.

"The official can lie down, the slave family, the slave family knows how to do it."

After Qin Xianglian finished speaking, she twisted her waist like a water snake.

There are ups and downs here, and the carriage heading to the county seat is also shaking.

Wang Anshi adjusted his sitting posture and asked, "Tan'er, after eating a meal, what do you think of Chen Mo?" ”

"Daddy, Tan'er insists on the previous judgment, Chen Mo is a hidden person." Wang Tan'er recalled, "As he said, the charcoal, the pot, the meat, and the wine, which one can be made by ordinary people?" Of course, what touched Tan'er the most was that poem. ”

"There's something in the words, and keep talking." Wang Anshi urged.

"The words are excellent, and there is no need to say more, just say what is hidden behind." Wang Tan'er pondered and said, "My daughter's feeling is that only after experiencing the vicissitudes of the world, or after being reborn in Nirvana, can she have that kind of feeling and talent, maybe it has something to do with the destruction of the floating ticket." After all, Sister Xianglian said in person that Chen Mo has changed his temperament since then, and perhaps the perfunctory county test is also the reason. ”

"Makes sense." Wang Anshi nodded, "Tan'er doesn't know, because of the floating ticket, Chen Mo went to find the three elders of Qingyang Town before the county test, and the two sides had a very unpleasant quarrel at that time, and he even said on the spot that it was okay to break the book and not read it, if it wasn't for Steward Hu rushing over in time, he wouldn't even be able to participate in the county test." ”

"I see." Wang Tan'er smiled and said, "According to this, the sentence of reading dead books, reading dead books, reading is not as good as a pig in the end, is actually cursing the three elders." ”

"You're still laughing?" Wang Anshi feigned anger and said, "Chen Mo is rude and ridiculous, you can't learn from him." ”

"As far as the matter is concerned, my daughter thinks that the scolding is right." Wang Tan'er said and sighed, "Daddy, what should Chen Mo do if he really deviates from his cognition and mind because of this?" ”

"He's not partial." Wang Anshi shook his head and said, "With Chen Mo's talent, it is easy to take the state exam, if he is really more serious with the three elders of the town, he will definitely take the exam seriously." When he returns to his hometown in the future, don't say that the three elders of the town and district, I, the magistrate, have to give him three points. ”

"But Chen Mo didn't choose this path, which shows that his words at the dinner table are true, and he doesn't have the intention of gaining fame at all, and just wants to be his enlightener."

"Speaking of Gewu and enlightenment, what does Daddy think?" Wang Tan'er asked.

"Look as you go." Wang Anshi said with a smile, "Chen Mo is a smart person, he should have guessed our identity, so he accepted an errand." ”

"Daddy is talking about teaching?" Wang Tan'er recalled.

"That's right." Wang Anshi nodded, "Not only teaching, judging from Chen Mo's serious response to the policy, he really has a heart that worries about the country and the people." Because my father doesn't like the difficulties of strongmen, he knows how to accept it when he sees it, so he agreed to the deal proposed by Chen Mo, and only hopes that the final result will be a win-win situation. ”

"What deal did Daddy make with Chen Mo?" Wang Tan'er was surprised.

"Tacit deals." Wang Anshi said with a little excitement, "To put it simply, it is to force Chen Mo for his father to no longer take the test fame." And he wants to use practical actions to cooperate with the implementation of the new deal, and you know the public opinion of today's visit, and the pilot will be set in Baijiazhuang. ”

"What does Daddy mean to let Chen Mo be the executor of the new policy?"

Wang Tan'er was shocked, this errand was too heavy.

"Didn't he say that he would live in a place of suffering, and be the enlightener of things, and that the Father would fulfill him? If you do a good job in meritorious deeds, if you don't do well, then obediently go to the meritorious test. ”

After Wang Anshi finished speaking, the cunning color of the old spicy flashed.
