When a group of officials heard him say this, how could they dare to go up?

It was Chai Shiming who was the first to play the round, "Please ask Xu Wugongzi to prepare a few more torches for me, this pit is dark and dark, and there is no fire light, so I can't see clearly." ”

Xu Zan didn't embarrass them anymore, and asked the dark guard to take down the few torches that had been lit and give them to them.

"It's really going down." Chen Anning entered the thatched hut, stood at the entrance of the cave and glanced down, and then chuckled.

Xu Zan said in a suppressed voice: "If you don't go down, you can't do it, I'll use Ah Xun to scare them." ”

Chen Anning gave him a thumbs up.

After Xu Zan grinned, he asked, "When they come up, do you want to arrange for them to go to the back mountain to have a look?" ”

"Look, why not?" Chen Anning said.

"Okay, when they come out, I'll take them there." Xu Zan stretched out his head to look at the dirt pit, then turned his head to look at her and said, "Do you want to go and rest for a while?" ”

After a day of travel, and a busy night, I didn't eat anything, even my iron body couldn't stand such a toss. Of course, Xu Zan was even more afraid that Xie Xun would scold him when he came back and saw her haggard appearance.

Chen Anning was also a little unable to hold on, and after looking down at the dirty dress on his body, he nodded and said, "Well, arrange for them to take a break after reading those skulls, and you will not be in a hurry to solve the case." ”

"I know." Xu Zan said.

Chen Anning returned to the inn, found a clean bucket, picked up two buckets of well water, took out two incense pills and turned them into water, cleaned up his body a little, and went back to the carriage to sleep.

By the time she woke up, it was already afternoon.

Closing her eyes and waking up, she stepped out of the carriage and saw Xu Zhan, who was holding a white porcelain bowl not far away and squatting in front of the fire, she walked over.

"Awake? Come and have a glass of water. Xu Zan quickly picked up a clean porcelain bowl, poured a cup of white water and handed it to her, "Don't worry, these are all sent by Lord Chai." Lord Chai is the county magistrate of Yixing County. ”

Chen Anning took the bowl and slowly drank two sips of white water, Xu Zan neatly commanded the two mothers-in-law to quickly bring over the warm porridge side dishes, "Hurry up and drink some porridge to warm your stomach." ”

"Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief." Chen Anning took the porridge bowl handed by her mother-in-law, "Tell me, what's the matter." ”

After Xu Zhan's eyes quickly rolled twice, he smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just ...... The Wen family is here. ”

Chen Anning raised his eyebrows, as if smiling, "Who is here?" The Miss Wen Si that makes you miss your heart? ”

"Heart-to-heart?" A delicate voice sounded behind the two of them.

Xu Zan and Chen Anning immediately turned around to look.

It's a girl in red.

The girl is wearing a strong suit, her figure is slender and straight, and her appearance is sweet and delicate. A pair of big round eyes, very smart and cute.

When Xu Zan saw her, he instantly straightened up, blushed, and stammered: "She, she's just joking, don't, don't take it to heart." ”

The girl in red is none other than Wen Qinsang's sister Wen Huan.

Wen Huan looked at Chen Anning with his words, and the moment she saw her appearance clearly, she immediately squatted down beside her, and said with her eyes shining: "You are Miss Chen Er?" I've heard a lot of things about you from my eldest brother, and I've seen you today! You're exactly what I imagined! ”

Xu Zan said sourly: "She just came to see you." ”

Chen Anning glanced at him, and then at Wen Huan.

Wen Huan nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, I received a letter from my eldest brother that I knew that you came to Guangling County." It's a pity that my eldest brother's letter was a day late, and when I received it, you had already left Guangling County. I originally planned to go to Yuhang to look for you, but when I passed by here and saw Xu Wugongzi, he said that you didn't go to Yuhang County, so I stayed. ”

Chen Anning was curious: "See what I do?" ”

Wen Huan said: "My parents, second uncle and second aunt, third uncle and third aunt, and many people say that the most important thing for girls is to teach their husbands and children. I didn't accept it, but I couldn't stand their discipline. My eldest brother said that although a daughter can't get famous, what a man can do, his daughter's family can do. Therefore, from childhood to adulthood, he encouraged me to learn literature and martial arts. ”

But the father and mother are right, it is useless for the daughter's family to read so many books and know so many words. When I get married, all I can do is to teach my husband and children. ”

"But ......"

Wen Huan's eyes slowly brightened from gloomy, "A few months ago, my eldest brother suddenly wrote to me, and he mentioned you to me. He said that your medical skills are very powerful, not only did you cure your aunt's head disease that made even the imperial doctors helpless, but your chess skills were even more superb than him, and more importantly, you can also solve cases, and your ability to solve cases can even be on par with Lord Xie! ”

"Big brother said, who said that daughters are inferior to men, you are an example that I should follow!"

"That's why I've always wanted to see you."

"I want to see with my own eyes what the parents of the daughters who are not inferior to the boys look like."

"I'm so happy to see you today."

"You're exactly like what I imagined!"

Chen Anning joked, "In your imagination, shouldn't I grow into three heads and six arms?" ”

Wen Huan smiled, "I didn't think about it like that. In my imagination, the daughter's family, which is not inferior to a man, should be as clear and bright as you. ”

Chen Anning chuckled, "You think too highly of me, I'm not as good as you think." But your eldest brother is right, who said that daughters are not as good as men? It's just that this world is in the hands of men, and there is no chance for the daughter's family to show it. One day in the future, when both men and women can be the masters of the house, you will know that your daughter's family can last for half a day. ”

Wen Huan couldn't imagine the picture she described, but when she saw her say these words, she was normal, as if the world should be like this, and her mood slowly became agitated.

Chen Anning looked at her shining eyes, and after glancing at Xu Zan again, the words changed: "Actually, after a woman gets married, she doesn't necessarily have to be married and have children. ”

After Wen Huan glanced at her, and then followed her gaze at Xu Zhan, he suddenly remembered what he heard before, so he turned around and asked, "What did you just say that you can't forget?" ”

Chen Anning looked at Xu Zhan: "Let him say it himself." ”

Wen Huan looked at Xu Zan again.

Xu Zhan's face flushed, "I still have something to do, so I'll go first." ”

After speaking, without waiting for the two to speak, he quickly slipped away.

After slipping into the distance, he stopped again and said loudly: "Don't listen to Miss Chen Er's nonsense!" ”

Chen Anning said with a smile: "You have no silver here for three hundred taels!" I haven't even said it, how do you know I'm talking nonsense? ”

"Anyway, don't listen to her." After Xu Zan said another sentence, he ran away.

Wen Huan looked at his back, blinked in confusion, and asked, "Something to do with me?" ”

Chen Anning said half-teasing and half-mentioning: "As soon as he talked about your topic, he blushed and stammered, and you didn't see anything?" ”

After Wen Huan blinked again, he suddenly blushed and his eyes widened, and then pointed at Xu Zan in the distance, and then pointed at himself, "He, he...... I? That's impossible! ”

"Why can't it be?" Chen Anning was curious.

Wen Huan shook his head and said, "It's just impossible." ”

Chen Anning said: "Why is it impossible? ”

Wen Huan still shook his head, very incomprehensible: "That's why?" ”

Chen Anning said: "Because you are excellent." ”

"Am I excellent?" Wen Huan subconsciously said, "That's because you don't know me yet, if you know me, you will know ......"

"You are very good in the eyes of Xu Wugongzi, and you have always been excellent." Chen Anning interrupted her, "Because you are too good, he is very inferior, and he is not worthy of you." ”

Wen Huan looked at Xu Zan in surprise, "Why did he think like that?" He followed Master Xie to investigate and solve cases, and he was better than many sons. ”

"Yes, he's very good, just as good as you," Chen Anning asked meaningfully, "but why do you all think you're not good?" ”

Wen Huan lowered his eyes, bit the corners of his mouth lightly, and said after a while: "Probably except for my eldest brother, no one has ever affirmed my contribution." And he ...... Probably except for Lord Xie, no one has affirmed him. ”

"You know what?" Chen Anning said slowly, "It is certainly a good thing to have the affirmation of others. But there is no affirmation from others, and it doesn't matter. Because only you know how much you give, and if you don't affirm yourself first, then no matter how much others affirm you, it won't help. ”

"Since you have read a lot of books, you should understand that history is the triumph of the victors. Secondly......"

Chen Anning looked at her, "Those who were praised in the history books, when they were young, they were denied everywhere. Just because they succeeded later, people flocked to praise him for the difference in his youth. ”

"Human nature has always been like this, they only see how high you fly, as for how painful you fly, what does it matter to them?"

Without waiting for Wen Huan to digest it, Xu Zhan's anxious voice suddenly came from the direction of the inn, "Miss Chen Er, come here, yesterday's diners and those who came out of the pit are dying!" ”
