Chapter 7: The Prodigy

"Miss, it's windy outside, be careful of catching a cold, I'm suffering from the cold."

The old man who was driving the car reminded.

Lao Suo wore a hat on his head, his face was wrinkled, but his eyes were as sharp as a blade.

"Uncle Cai, people just want to see the scenery outside, and there won't be any big deal."

The girl smiled slightly, and her smile was very sweet, like a pool of clear water.

"But miss, you are not in good health, in case there is ......," said the old man.

Hearing the old man's chatter, the girl was obviously a little unhappy, closed the curtain, and said, "I know." ”

She has been in poor health since she was a child, so the people around her always tell her that this should not be done, that cannot be done, she is like a canary in a cage, without any freedom.

"Miss, when I find Mr. Li, he will definitely cure Miss." Lao Suo laughed.

"Mr. Li, that kind of fairy character, whether you can find it depends on chance."

The girl sighed slightly.

A few days ago, they heard that Mr. Li was haunting the area of Yongyuan Province.

Therefore, she came all the way from Hengyang Mansion to Yongyuan Mansion.

Mr. Li is a miracle doctor, known as a living immortal.

She was frail and sickly since she was a child, and when she was a child, many doctors said that it was difficult for her to live to be eight years old.

It was Mr. Li who took the initiative and prepared the prescription, and she has always drunk the decoction prepared by the prescription.

However, Mr. Li said that she was 16 years old, and that she would be 16 years old, and that next month would be her 16th birthday.

Therefore, she hopes to find Mr. Li again and ask him for help.

However, Mr. Li's fairy-like character comes and goes without a trace, and he hangs a pot among the people to help the world, not that you can see it if you want to.

Hearing the news of Mr. Li's appearance in Anyuan Mansion, the girl rushed over.

"This is Anseong County?"

The girl saw through the gap in the curtain that there were several large characters on the moss-covered wall.

"Miss, the county order here, you should know, is that prodigy Jiang Cheng."

Inside the carriage, a maid beside the girl said with a smile.

"It was him! I remember. ”

The girl's black and white eyes suddenly revealed a hint of surprise.

She is also from Hengyang Mansion, so she has naturally heard the name of Jiangcheng.

The Jiang family is a huge rich man in Hengyang, and his family is rich.

However, the Jiang family is more famous for the prodigy who came out of Jiang Cheng.

At the age of fourteen, he took the county examination and became a talent at the age of fifteen.

At the age of sixteen, he became a lifter, and at the age of eighteen, he became a jinshi, and entered the top three and became the editor of the Hanlin Academy, which can be described as a promising future.

What a beautiful scenery the Jiang family was at that time, and the whole country knew that the Jiang family had a prodigy.

Just when everyone thought that Jiang Cheng would be able to go to the pavilion to worship the prime minister in the future, Jiang Cheng did something that everyone didn't expect.

He actually offended Princess Pingyang, and then was imprisoned by the eldest princess on charges of great disrespect.

If it weren't for the fact that many people were guarantors for Jiangcheng, and the Jiang family was willing to spend money, Princess Pingyang would have released Jiangcheng and released it as a Qipin county order.

Although the compilation of the Hanlin Academy and the local county order are all positive seven grades, the status is very different.

The editors of the Hanlin Academy were by the emperor's side, assisting the emperor in drafting or conveying his will, and as long as he stayed up for two or three years, he would soar.

"He's such a stunned young man that he dares to offend my aunt."

The girl sighed slightly and shook her head.

Although she had never met that aunt, she had heard of her murderous name, and even when her father went to Beijing to pay respects, he had to be careful in front of that woman, for fear of offending her.

"Miss, this Jiangcheng was hit by Princess Pingyang. I heard that since Jiang Cheng has been an official for three years, he has been drinking all day long, not asking about government affairs, and allowing local tyrants to come to him, which has led to the poor livelihood of the people of Ancheng County and the suffering of the people. The people scolded him behind his back for being a fool and a moth. However, his official fortunes have also turned upside down, and he will soon be investigated once every three years for officials, and he will definitely be deposed with his official reputation. The maid said.

"That's a shame. Originally, he could have become a pillar of the country, who knows...... Alas......"

The girl's eyebrows couldn't help but show a disappointed expression.

This famous genius is now willing to fall into depravity, which is embarrassing.

You know, even she admires such a genius.

"Miss, I see it's getting late, let's rest in Ancheng County tonight."

The old man who was driving the carriage said.

"Okay."

The girl nodded.

……

Huifeng Building.

This is one of the most famous restaurants in Anseong County.

Antique, elegant and luxurious.

Jiangcheng is also a frequent visitor here.

In the past, Jiangcheng drank heavily all day long, and he couldn't wait to treat Huifeng Building as his home.

Chen Yuan took two guards to escort Jiang Cheng all the way to Huifeng Building.

Now, the Cao family has the intention of murdering Jiangcheng, and Chen Yuan has to guard against it.

In case, if the Cao family dares to do it today, he will also dare to kill.

If it weren't for the Jiang family's kindness, he Chen Yuan would have starved to death on the streets.

Seeing Chen Yuan's solemn expression, his right hand holding the handle of the knife tightly, Jiang Cheng smiled: "Old Chen is fine, I expect that the Cao family will not dare to do it." If the Cao family dared to do it, they wouldn't use those conspiracies. ”

"Young master, people's hearts are unpredictable, let's be careful. Wait until we go up to the second floor, let's eat in the lobby and don't enter the private room. Chen Yuan said.

In public, it's safer.

"You have a point, then do as you say." Jiang Cheng nodded in agreement.

As soon as he entered Huifeng Building, the shopkeeper came over to entertain Jiang Cheng familiarly, "Master, are you here again, the old place?" ”

"No need, pick me a clean place on the second floor."

Jiang Cheng threw away a piece of broken silver.

"Okay." Although the shopkeeper was surprised, he still responded with a smile.

The shopkeeper led Jiang Cheng to the second floor and helped Jiang Cheng choose a relatively remote corner by the window.

Cao Kun hadn't come yet, but Jiang Cheng still ordered a few side dishes.

While tasting tea, he waited for Cao Kun.

Suddenly, he saw several familiar figures.

It is Wei Chen, the chief bookkeeper of the county government, Bai Canghai, and Chen Ansheng, the secretary of the bureau.

These are all officials from various departments of the county government.

The main bookkeeper is in charge of documents, household registration, and civil affairs, and the canonical history is in charge of prisons and anti-thefts, and the secretary office is the head of all the officials.

The county is in charge of the warehouse and the collection of taxes.

They are all here to attend Li Wenbin's banquet today.

"Young master, Li Wenbin, this traitor is really hateful. That down-and-out scholar, forgetting righteousness and righteousness, despicable and shameless, if you hadn't rewarded him with a bite to eat back then, how could he be today! Today, I actually dared to hold a banquet in Huifeng Building. ”

Chen Yuan clenched his fists, his eyes were full of anger, and he scolded angrily in a low voice.

Three years ago, Li Wenbin was a teacher who couldn't even support himself, and he was poor.

If the Haoqiang and big families in Ancheng County want to tie up Jiangcheng, they must go through Li Wenbin.

Li Wenbin secretly filled his pockets, and he didn't know how much silver he was greedy for.
