The scholar was stunned to hear, and the others looked at me unidentified,

    even the bustard raised his head in surprise, the scene stagnated, and it was

    so quiet that he could hear the sound of a silver needle falling."What''s wrong with being born late?" After a long time, she came back to her

    senses, her eyes changed, she looked at me as if she was looking at a class

    enemy, and asked with her neck.I think if there is a fan in hand at this time, then I will probably unfold

    the fan in a leisurely manner and shake it twice, sell it well, and then

    prolong the tone to solve the puzzle-of course, just think about it."Okay, you said you were right, then I will ask you, where did Xiao Lian''s

    redemption money come from?" Although there is no fan to set off, I can knock

    the tea cup on the table hard to increase my momentum, "you said to myself I

    have money constraints. It took two months to raise two hundred taels of

    silver. I don’t know any errands to come in so quickly? Why don’t you

    introduce them to me?”——The price of Guanlan City is at the upstream level in Dawu. Similarly, the

    wages here are higher than elsewhere, which is understandable.But after all, Dawu is a country dominated by agricultural production. Trade

    and shipping are not developed. The profiteering industries such as salt, iron

    and tea mines are monopolized by the government. The main source of income for

    ordinary people still relies on their family’s land or some ancestral

    handicrafts. Scholars who want to get ahead can only rely on becoming an

    official.Take the Nine-Rank Master who is the lowest official in the Nine Temples as an

    example. If you count the Lumi, Fengqian, Shitian, and Luli that she receives

    each month, it will be converted into silver taels, and no more than thirty

    taels at most. Only sixty taels of silver.And this Chen Jingyan has no fame, but no official position, and has money

    constraints. How can she use proper means to collect two hundred taels of

    silver in two months?You know, two hundred taels of silver can already buy a small courtyard with

    two entrances in the relatively remote urban area of ??Guanlan City.She taught me to ask for a moment, her eyes turned away, and after hesitating

    for a while, she whispered back: "Xiao Lian gave me his jewelry and the body

    that he had saved over the years, and I took these for them. Make a hundred

    taels."It turned out that the wool still came from the sheep, and he paid this

    hundred taels of redemption money by himself."How about a hundred taels?" Seeing her hesitate, I couldn''t help but ask."I borrowed a hundred taels from Boss Xu from Shengyuan Bank in the north of

    the city." She glanced at the little pity in her arms and said vaguely."What? That''s the boss who specializes in printing money? How can you borrow

    money from her? By the way, what kind of collateral are you using?" Without

    asking me any more, Xiao Lian had already explained more than half of it

    eagerly."I put Juren''s certificate to her..." Chen Jingyan whispered."You, you are confused..." Xiao Lian cried out of breath while pulling her

    skirt.——The vouchers for citing people are probably the same as the degree

    certificates of college students, except that in the ancient environment of

    "everything is inferior, only reading is high", the value of the vouchers is

    much higher.If you teach someone who wants to get this certificate to do some impostor,

    illegal and disciplined things, the consequences will be disastrous.Once Chen Jingyan didn''t have the money and couldn''t get Juren''s vouchers, she

    would not be eligible to take the next exam, and the hard work she had done

    for many years in the cold window would be in vain.Thinking about it this way, her decision cannot be said to be hasty."Let’s not talk about how you are going to pay back the money. Let’s assume-he

    didn’t withhold the pity and let him leave with you. Then what do you plan to

    do after that?" I pointed to the bustard, and changed. Asked in a direction."I, I don''t know..." She opened her mouth and lowered her head in frustration,

    unable to tell why."You have put your great future on Xiao Lian, then are you planning to accept

    him as a magistrate? Or a side room? Or just treat him as..." When I clicked,

    I looked at the two of them suddenly All pale faces, knowing that they should

    understand my unfinished meaning.——After all, this little pity is a cheap book, and according to Dawu''s law, he

    is not qualified to become a righteous husband.In order to convert his household registration to a good one, in addition to

    obtaining the approval of the holder of his deed, that is, the behind-the-

    scenes owner of Caiyun Pavilion, he must also go to the government to

    register.In other words, since the two of them have decided to elope, they have chosen

    to live incognito and hide themselves in disguise, and can no longer stand by

    each other in a fair manner.Even if the two love each other, but the name is not right, no matter which

    city or county government, they have the right to detain them and repatriate

    them to their places of origin.This is the cruel reality that is often overshadowed by exaggerated and

    acclaimed romance."I naturally want to marry him." Chen Jingyan said firmly with a face that

    embraced the person in his arms."Why don''t you take the liberty to ask, is there anyone in Miss Chen''s house?"

    I glanced at the third prince who was a little impatient, and I smiled,

    determined not to be circuitous, so that she could realize the problem as soon

    as possible. Where."Parents are both parents, and there is a young girl in the head." She quickly

    replied, but she couldn''t help but frowned."I don''t know if my father and Lingtang have any advice on Miss Chen''s

    marriage? There is a matchmaker, but no matchmaker—for Benna." To put it more

    bluntly, if her parents know that they have worked hard to raise their

    daughters, They even owed a lot of debts for a young man, and they might even

    have to give up the great future of becoming an official... What would they

    think? What do you think of this little girl who is dragging her daughter?The answer is self-evident.Chen Jingyan would not fail to understand this. Even the little pity in her

    arms must also know clearly that the two of them just didn''t want to admit,

    they still had beautiful longings and yearnings—deceiving themselves."If your parents are determined not to accept the little pity, what will you

    do? Abandon this weak man who eloped with you desperately? Or do you stand on

    your own for him to resist the parents who gave birth to you?" Every time I

    say a hypothesis, hers Her face became ugly. By the time I said the last

    sentence, she was already clenching her fists, her eyes full of struggling,

    "Is it a perfidious person or an unfilial daughter who rebelled against her

    parents? Miss Chen can choose. ?"After a while, she knelt on her knees with a "puff", and admitted in shame:

    "My lord is right, it''s the late birth that made a mistake.""Oh, where did you go wrong?" I sighed and continued to ask."Late birth shouldn’t be impulsive, mortgaging Juren with a book, letting down

    the hopes of my parents, let alone elopement with little pity at all, ruining

    my innocence and reputation, so tired that he was embarrassed and wanted to

    follow me Endure hardship." She said hard, as if she had exhausted the last

    bit of strength in her body to admit her naivety and incompetence, "It''s all

    my fault."——I''m barely half right.This Chen Jingyan is straightforward but not stubborn, and he can listen to a

    bit of truth. It is also considered that I have not sang this nosy black face

    in vain."No, don''t blame you! It''s all my fault! I''m begging to follow you! If it

    weren''t for me, you wouldn''t be like this..." Xiao Lian cried with a self-

    blaming Chen Jingyan. Up."Okay, I''ll talk about your business later." After rubbing his sore temples, I

    told the bustard to send them to the next room, and send some medicine to them

    by the way.When he comes back, it''s time to settle accounts after Autumn.Seeing that my face was not right, he didn''t dare to say anything, he just

    stood in the corner by the door and waited with bated breath."You did the injury on Xiao Lian''s body?" I didn''t deal with him, and asked

    straightforwardly.In front of me, he did not dare to quibble, but only promised to say yes.It is a crime to abuse lynching."You also embezzled his redemption money?" I asked again.Now, it was his turn to kneel on the ground: "His Royal Highness, forgive me.

    The servant did such a stupid thing because he was covered with lard for a

    while. Please look at the servants in the past..."It''s another crime to satiate his own pockets.Before he could finish his pleading, I interrupted aloud: "I only ask you, is

    this the first time? How many examples are there like Xiaopian?""This..." He was crying, but he couldn''t answer. It was obvious that there

    were quite a few."Oh, tell me how to teach this king how to forgive you?" I hate this kind of

    bullying and fearful of evil, the person who has fallen into trouble, let

    alone his actions, all of which will be counted in my account, although it is

    not going to be picked. His head, but he won''t let him go easily, "Take the

    redemption money that you took from Xiaopian to buy a small yard, write it

    under his name, change him to a good grade, and don''t bother him and Chen

    Jingyan anymore. It''s a matter...Also, go to Lingwang''s Mansion to get 20

    boards. From now on, you will only be an ordinary helper of Caiyun Pavilion,

    and you will no longer be the shopkeeper.""...Yes." He knelt on the ground, knocked his head deeply, got up and left.The bitter look in his eyes before he left taught me to look straight."His Royal Highness?" Jiang Zhuo obviously noticed this too, frowning to

    indicate to me whether to deal with it.I sighed silently, thought about it again and again, and finally shook my head

    and rejected it-such a look, after I became Kuang Xihan, wouldn''t I still see

    it?If he wants to hate, hate it-anyway, I have a clear conscience."Oh, you just let him go? And that Chen Jingyan and Xiao Lian, how do you deal

    with them? Do you want to perfect them?" As soon as the bustard left, the

    three princes who had been silent for a long time finally couldn''t hold back.

    Yes, I have to ask questions.Reluctantly meeting his curiosity eyes, I pondered for a moment, and had to

    pick and choose a few questions and replied: "Look at her performance. If she

    can keep her promise, this king will not be the villain who beats the mandarin

    ducks. ."Changing Xiao Lian into a good home and giving him a place to live is a little

    compensation for him, but there is only so much I can help him. For the rest

    of his life, he has to go on his own.What I didn’t ask in front of everyone was that if Chen Jingyan had no worries

    about the future and was elected as an official in the imperial examination,

    he would still be willing to honor his original mountain alliance and sea

    oath, and would not want to marry a family son who helped her career, but

    instead would marry a scumbag. Ji''s little boy?If Chen Jingyan''s official career is not going well and poor, Xiao Lian can

    still give up her many years of rich clothes and food, and follow her to eat

    chaffy vegetables without complaint?If after years, Xiao Lian is no longer tender and beautiful, and when he is

    old and weak, will Chen Jingyan be consistent with him, or will he hug Qin

    Muchu from left to right?I don''t know if their feelings can stand the test of time.All I know is that there is not enough human heart to swallow the elephant,

    poor and humble couples are sad, and the allusion of depravity and relaxation

    of love.I hope they will not come to this point, and my accomplishment will not be the

    beginning of a tragedy.After solving the problem of Xiao Lian, it was almost evening, and I intend to

    return to the house, but the third prince clamored to stay in Caiyun Pavilion

    to see some special performances.Naturally, I strictly refused--not to mention that he was just a boy, not

    suitable for such a sensual place, and I also have no good feelings about this

    place, and I don''t want to stay long.He was kindly persuaded not to listen to him, but he was not persevering in

    shamelessly, and taught people to take him in no way."His Royal Highness, Wang Fu sent someone to ask you when you are going back,

    and dinner is ready." When the stalemate was still in stalemate, an attendant

    wearing a purple uniform unique to the Ling Palace came in to report."I know, I said that the king will go back soon." Although I don''t know how Fu

    Zhenzhen knew that I was here, this attendant did solve my embarrassment at

    the moment. With this step, I explained to the third prince, "Fu Zhenzhen Come

    here, it''s getting late, and the king will leave first.""Hey, I like you, marry me." Seeing that I was leaving, he jumped up from the

    chair in a hurry, stood in front of me, and said seriously."You have also seen that this king already has a husband, so I can''t marry

    you." I also looked at him and answered very seriously. Before he could

    answer, I hurriedly left with Jiang Zhuo."It''s okay, I can be a side husband, as long as I can marry you, I don''t

    mind." The carriage drove out for a short while, and from a distance, the

    teenager could be heard shouting, "I will marry you--"Leaning tiredly on the mat, I just want to cover my ears with my hands, cover

    my ears and steal the bell, or pretend, Quandang didn''t hear it.I never thought that one day I would be confessed by such a young boy.

    However, apart from being surprised, I didn’t have the slightest joy or even

    the slightest intention of accepting it—not that he was too naive, nor that he

    was too rough, just because he was not that. people.Amusedly squeezed the fisted hand of someone who had a calm face as soon as he

    got in the car, and kissed the corner of her mouth with shame, watching her

    straightened lips slow down and cheeks I also fainted with a thin layer of

    rice, and in a moment I felt incredibly soft in my heart.The person who made me look at me for thousands of years and loves to see you

    again, the kind of fall that taught me to be stunned and obsessed... is Jiang

    Zhuo.There is only Jiang Zhuo.
