The Liu family's mansion, a brightly lit hall.

Hearing the eldest brother's words, Liu Zi'an fell silent.

But the more Liu Zilin listened, the more confused he became:

"Isn't this guy demoted because he contradicted the current saint and Princess Changle?"

Liu Zi'an frowned, looked at him, and couldn't bear to explain:

"The demotion of officials also depends on where it is degraded, and not everyone in Longcheng County is qualified to be demoted."

After a pause, he was also a little confused:

"At first, I thought that this was a little white rabbit who was stupid in reading, otherwise how could the Wei nobles rest assured that he would be allowed to come? Isn't it just a clear gift to us as dogs?

"The identity is clear, and the nerdy is brainless, which can be regarded as a default option that people on both sides can reluctantly nod their heads to...... But looking at it now, why is it more and more like a winner and loser from the opposite side? ”

Liu Ziwen lowered his head and pondered silently, Liu Zilin seemed to understand whether he understood or not.

There was no word in the hall for a while.

At this moment, two people suddenly walked on the corridor outside the hall.

It was a lame servant who respectfully brought in a mediocre-looking woman, who was about forty or so and her face looked a little long, but the maintenance was okay, and the standard dress of a woman from a wealthy family in the Great Zhou Dynasty was nothing special.

"Da Lang, it's time to eat, he's also here? Let's eat together. "The woman moved slowly, and spoke slowly.

Liu Ziwen raised his head, smiled reluctantly, and nodded, "It's hard work." ”

Liu Zi'an and Liu Zilin also immediately got up and responded, calling their sister-in-law in their mouths.

The woman's surname is Xu, Liu Ziwen got married very early, and she devoted herself to the Guyue Sword Shop and other family businesses, and treated his wife with respect.

And the parents of the three brothers of the Liu family died early, the eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister-in-law is naturally like a mother, similar to Ouyang Rong's aunt like a mother.

No matter how arrogant and domineering Liu Zi'an and Liu Zilin are outside, bullying men and women, they are still more obedient in front of their eldest sister-in-law, which is also the norm in this era, and the clan has a strong sense of filial piety.

Therefore, the dinner prepared by the Xu family, no matter how busy and bad the three brothers are, they have to go over to eat honestly, which can be regarded as a tacit understanding of the Liu family.

The same is true today.

At the dinner table, Xu was quite intimate to the two little uncles, and he was always enthusiastic about picking up vegetables, asking for warmth, and even got up to pour soup for them halfway.

At this moment, Liu Ziwen, who has always "eaten without speaking", suddenly put down his chopsticks and stared at the plate of dishes in front of him.

"Since the county order says that justice will be administered, then the third brother will go to ask for justice tomorrow."

"Yes, big brother!"

Liu Zilin nodded, his face eager to try.

It's just that Liu Zi'an next to him didn't seem to care much about his brother's words, Yu Guang looked at the back of Xu's going to serve soup, and buried his head in eating honestly.

……

Luming Street, the Su family's mansion.

After dinner.

An elegant, secluded back garden.

Jiangnan is already full of vegetation, and fireflies have already appeared in the flowers at night this season.

A certain bun-faced little maid covered a small fan, jumped among the flowers, grabbed the fireflies everywhere, and shouted from time to time "Miss Miss, look at it", "Oh, it's so big".

Occasionally, though, there was a sigh of disappointment, and it was she who looked up and sighed as she looked at the fireflies that flew away.

In a brightly lit gallery in the garden, a deserted girl with a new plum blossom makeup flips through her books, ignoring the personal maids who do not match her temperament.

It's just that when the occasional wrestling sound comes, the cold girl will nod lightly, and she doesn't raise her eyelids and says:

"When I'm hungry for a while, I'm not allowed to steal living room pastries at night, otherwise my mother will make a lot of snacks every day and send them over, thinking I'm greedy."

"......" is a bun-faced maid with a rumbling belly.

Su Bao'er shook her head and turned another page of the poetry book in her hand.

She has been reading Tao Yuanming's poems recently.

It's not because Su Bao'er is a little fan of literature and art who admires celebrities.

Guy was the prophecy of the old man at the beginning.

It predicted that she would meet a man who was like a destiny, a noble person in the fate, how "expensive", the old man did not say, only said that the important thing was "encounter", which was the turning point of fortune. Su Bao'er wanted to meet it sooner.

This old scholar is not simple, he comes from the Shangqing Sect, one of the three Qing Taoist sects in the south, and he has a very high seniority, and he has given many faces to the Su Bao'er family, and in some respects he is not inferior to the top court scholars around the Empress Wei......

In the night, the deserted girl leaned lazily on the railing, her brows painted with plum blossoms frowning slightly, and her fingers gently twisted the corner of the pale yellow page.

The Hidden Dragon is in the Abyss...... Rising from the moon...... He was an official in this county and resigned...... Will write the resignation of the official retirement......

If she meets the above conditions, Su Bao'er can only think of one person if she wants to break her head before.

That is what was recorded in the Longcheng County Chronicles, Tao Qian, Tao Yuanming, famous people of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

This person not only sounds very consistent with the first two sentences of the prophecy, but also did have a county order in Longcheng County for 81 days, and later did not bend his waist for five buckets of rice, and resigned as an official, and he was brilliant in writing, leaving a lot of poems and songs, which were talked about by the locals......

Nowadays, many of the place and street names of Longcheng are taken from allusions related to this famous man.

And over the years, Su Bao'er found out that there are records in the relevant county records that this person seems to have made a resignation and retirement before resigning, and the name seems to be ...... "Words of Return".

But this text is not known where it has been lost, and it has not been handed down in its entirety.

In the end, the only slight deviation that she regretted was ......

This is a figure from the Eastern Jin Dynasty four hundred years ago!

Could it be that he is still a long-lived top qi practitioner?

But even if it is a top-level qi practitioner, it is difficult to survive to this day, unless it is to the top of the mythical Dao lineage, some unknown rank? But...... Is it possible?

She didn't find it realistic.

The deserted girl put down the poetry collection, supported the minibus, looked at the silly girl in the flowers, and sighed in the evening breeze:

"Return...... Will give me a bright moon...... Give me a ......"

However, in recent days, Su Bao'er's somewhat dead mood has become a little lively again, because of some things she heard from the sister of the Xie family who lived together.

Some deeds about the new young prefectural magistrate.

The trend seems to be a little different......

The prophecy of the old minister clearly pointed out that this noble man of the Mandate of Heaven would serve as the commander of Longcheng County, so Su Bao'er had carefully searched for archives and classics before, but found that the county magistrate of Longcheng County in the past fifty years had not taken the initiative to resign, except for the death of illness or Ding Wei.

In recent years, she has also set her sights on the new county magistrates, but she was disappointed to find that if it wasn't for the wine bag and rice bag, if it wasn't for the comatose person, and there was no intersection with her during her tenure, let alone the gift of the month.

At present, this Ouyang Lianghan, when he first took office a few months ago, Su Bao'er also brought a colorful ribbon to visit, but unfortunately it is not very special, not like the kind of noble person who deserves the evaluation of "Hidden Dragon in the Abyss" depicted in the prophecy.

And what is quite funny is that this Ouyang Lianghan just announced that he would control the water on the day he took office, but he fell off the bridge and drowned and passed out......

How Su Bao'er was not disappointed, she was already a lot of discouragement, and she was reluctant to believe in her fate anymore.

She might as well pin her hopes on Tao Yuanming four hundred years ago, what if she can really live until now?

At the moment, although she felt that a certain young county magistrate was gradually becoming interesting, Su Bao'er didn't have much hope, and she naturally wouldn't give up lightly on Tao Yuanming's side, who had invested a lot of time and energy.

"I don't know if Sister Xie can help me find that hidden speech."

Su Bao'er whispered.

She watched the night silently for a while, and at a certain moment, she suddenly caught a familiar silhouette not far away, and Su Bao'er immediately got up, left the gallery, and greeted her.

"Sister Xie is back?"

"Little sister of the Su family." Xie Lingjiang turned around and said hello.

After getting closer, Su Bao'er slowly stopped, she found that there was an extra daughter behind these Xie sisters, and she followed closely, this seemed to be the first time that Sister Xie had treated people into Su Mansion, and even her county commander had never brought her back.

Su Bao'er glanced sideways slightly.

This is a tall bearded girl, with deep eyes and a high nose, tan hair, and a pair of strange blue eyes, at this moment it seems that she has been brought to this strange environment, the bearded girl bows her head timidly and weakly, and does not look around, let alone look at her.

"That's right."

Xie Lingjiang seemed to be in a good mood, and introduced with a chuckle:

"Her name is Zhiying, she was originally a orchid dancer in Yuanming Building, and Sister Su can call her Yingniang."

"Then Sister Xie, this is going to be ......"

Xie Lingjiang's eyes were clear, and he took Ying Niang's hand:

"Yingniang's life is hard, she was sold to this foreign country by a black-hearted Hu businessman, I hit her off at first sight, and recently helped her complete the redemption, but after leaving Yuanming Building, she didn't have a place to live for a while, so I brought her back, thinking about letting her squeeze a room with me...... My sister shouldn't mind, right? ”

Su Bao'er shook her head and said unconcernedly: "It's okay." There is no need to squeeze one room, I will let Caishou clean another room. ”

Xie Lingjiang patted Yingniang's trembling hand, and was gentle and relieved:

"Don't be afraid, Sister Su looks cold, but she is still sincere in treating others, and she will not bully you like those people in Yuanming Building before, and we will be our own sisters in the future."

Ying Niang seemed to be a little calmer, and shouted in a low voice: "Miss Su is good." ”

Su Bao'er nodded, but at the moment she obviously had more important things, and she didn't have time to pay attention to a little bearded girl, and when Cai Shou Shanshan arrived, Su Bao'er told Cai Shou to take Ying Niang down to rectify.

When the others were taken away, Su Bao'er turned her head and asked Xie Lingjiang directly: "Sister Xie is in the archives warehouse of the county government, can you find any news of her return?" ”

Xie Lingjiang was not surprised, and bowed slightly:

"In addition to being busy with the things explained by my senior brother in the past few days, I also went to check carefully, and I did find that in a certain edition of the county chronicle collected in the treasury, it was recorded that the famous man of the Eastern Jin Dynasty did leave a resignation at the end.

"As for the whereabouts, the above is only a mention, Tao Yuanming gave it to the host and friend of Donglin Temple at that time before leaving Dragon City. It's just that I don't know if this rhetoric has been preserved in the treasury of Donglin Temple. ”

Su Bao'er's pretty face was happy at first, but she was stunned again, but in the end, her face was a little lighter, and she whispered:

"It's good to have news, Donglin Temple......"
