Power to the government and the public: Qian engaged in business in ancient times

Chapter 62

Wen Qian moved subconsciously, stood where Li Mo was originally, and bent down to grab his arm.

In the blink of an eye, a human-shaped black figure rolled down from where she was standing just now, causing the already inclined wooden ladder to shake even more.

The moment Wen Qian and Li Mo stabilized their bodies completely, Wei Nuo's exclamation sounded next to their ears: "No, Mr. Chen rolled down the wooden ladder."

Everyone was shocked, but everything happened so quickly that they could only watch Chen Linong roll down the wooden ladder.

Yang Kang, who had just stepped onto the ground, suddenly heard a thud behind him, and hurriedly turned his head to look.

Seeing Chen Yuanwai falling from the sky, he didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately turned around and hugged the falling Chen Yuanwai.

"Mr. Chen, are you alright?"

Chen Linong raised his head and saw Yang Kang's upright and dignified face. His pale face was full of shock, and he smiled sheepishly: "I'm fine, thank you Yang Tongsheng."

Seeing that Yuanwai Chen was not injured, Yang Kang saw the embarrassment on his face, and immediately took a step back, bowing his hands politely: "Chen Yuanwai, please."

Member Chen nodded, immediately put his hands behind his back, and walked out of the bamboo forest with a gloomy face.

Yang Kang stared at Yuanwai Chen's back, and frowned in displeasure. He obviously saved him by himself, so it's fine if he didn't feel grateful, and he still looked unhappy.

Sure enough, few officials are easy to get along with.

What kind of poetry banquet is this? I'm a man of the rivers and lakes, so it's better to leave.

When Wen Qian and Li Mo were at the banquet in the hall, Chen Linong gave the No.1 "36 Strategies" to Wen Qian, and the No.2 "Invitation" to Li Mo, only to find that the No.3 Yang Kang was no longer there. above the banquet.

With a dark expression on his face, Chen Linong ordered his servants to look for him, only to learn that the No.3 Yang Kang had left Chen's residence.

He had no choice but to suppress the anger in his heart. Seeing Chu Anning on the main seat, he was about to pull himself together to get close, but he was a step slower.

I saw three young heroes, Shen Qiu, Qian Shu, and Bai Yu, chatting anecdotes and anecdotes around Chu Anning, their black faces turned into ink faces.

Li Mo, who was sitting below drinking tea, had a panoramic view of all this, and couldn't help but smile.

"Li Chenfeng, what are you laughing at?"

Wen Qian flipped through the book "36 Strategies" casually, and when she looked up, she saw the cold-faced Li Mo snickering.

Li Mo turned his head, looked at Wen Qian beside him, and said lightly: "I'm a little happy to see a mouse jumping up and down."

Wen Qian rolled her eyes at him, and said dissatisfiedly: "Who are you bluffing, there will be mice in this huge Chen's mansion? You think I'm stupid!"

Li Mo thought about it seriously, then nodded: "You are stupid."

Wen Qian's brows turned cold, she squeezed the book in her hand tightly, and warned, "You, you dare to say I'm stupid? You deserve a beating!"

Li Mo looked at Wen Qian quietly, the expression on his face was still calm, but his eyes were stained with a smile, and his voice was like a fairy: "You can't beat me."

"Heh!" Wen Qian sneered, raised the book in her hand, and said in a cool voice, "It's a good thing to have self-confidence, but too much self-confidence is arrogance."

I didn't have this self-confidence before, but the adventure in Shixuanlou made her internal strength explode for two or thirty years.

I can definitely beat you, Li Chenfeng, Li Mo!

If I can kill you, the only people in this world who know that I am the killer Qianyu are Zhou Ying and that mysterious master.

As for Yin Yue, this domineering girl who had a passion for the original owner, was classified by Wen Qian as one of her own, so it didn't count.

Li Mo noticed the cold killing intent in her tone, raised his eyebrows, but his eyes fell on the book Wen Qian held in his hand: "I'll give you a chance to compete with me, but I have a request!"

Wen Qianyue: "What request?"

"Exchange the prizes you got."

"You want this "36 Strategies"?" Wen Qian was extremely surprised.

"That's right." Li Mo directly pushed the invitation on the table in front of Wen Qian, and then stretched out his right hand to grab the book in Wen Qian's hand.

The moment her fingers touched, Wen Qian was suddenly overwhelmed by a numb feeling of electric shock, and she let go of her hand in shock.

Li Mo didn't seem to notice Wen Qian's abnormality, and stood up and bowed to Chu Anning: "Princess, I still have official duties, so I take my leave."

"Magistrate Li, wait a minute, the princess will go with you." Chu Anning pushed away the mad bees and butterflies beside him, and subconsciously glanced at Wen Qian as he passed by.

Then he followed Li Mo and left without looking back.

Wen Qian looked at the back of the two going away, frowned, grabbed the invitation card on the table, threw it into her sleeve randomly, and was about to go to the bottom of the hall to find Jiang Huai and others.

"Mr. Wen, please stay."

When Wen Qian turned her head, she saw Qian Shu squinting her charming peach eyes, walking towards her with a charming smile on her delicate white face, "Young Master Qian, what's the matter?"

"I just want to make friends with Mr. Wen. I wonder if I can agree?" Qian Shu smiled and looked at Wen Qian, who was handsome and cold, in front of him.

This person is not only interesting, but also rarely falls into Li Mo's eyes, and is rare to be as handsome and charming as himself.

How could he miss the opportunity to make friends.

Wen Qian nodded: "Yes."

"Okay, I'm a member of the Qian family. If Mr. Wen comes to Panlong City one day, bring this jade pendant and come to Qian's mansion to look for me."

As Qian Shu said, he took out a light green jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Wen Qian.

Wen Qian lowered her eyes and saw that the jade pendant was crystal clear, with the word 'book' engraved in the middle.

She looked at Qianshu's exquisite and alluring face, hesitated for half a second, took the jade pendant, and bowed: "Okay."

Looking at Wen Qian's back, Qian Shu's eyes flickered, and he didn't know how this person got Li Mo's favor, I had to figure it out.

Thinking of the imperial capital four years ago, thousands of students flocked to the capital to take the imperial examination.

On the day of the scientific research, Li Mo, who was born in a common people's family, has a demeanor and a noble appearance, which instantly stunned the adults from all walks of life.

Unexpectedly, Li Mo was not only amazing in appearance, but also shocking in his knowledge, crying ghosts and gods. He wrote a good article about governing the country and the people, making the country rich and strong, and the new emperor who was inspected on the spot named him the champion.

On the day of the palace examination, Li Mo came out on top, overwhelming the other young heroes.

Among them are Zhang Wenxuan and Tanhua Baiyu who are second in the list.

The young emperor on the dragon chair admired him so much that he wanted to send him to the Ministry of History, the head of the six departments, as the Secretary of the State, and from the fourth-rank official position.

If it weren't for the ministers in the hall who used Li Mo's youthful vigor as an excuse, they would have to go outside to practice.

He had been left in the capital by the new emperor a long time ago, and he was afraid that he would already be a high-ranking and powerful person, so how could he be a small county magistrate like he is now.

"Qianshu, why did you lower your status and meet a scholar? He is just a good poet. Besides, I only admire the late Qin Zhao, the grandson of the former emperor."

Shen Qiu patted Qianshu's shoulder expressionlessly, with doubts in his eyes.

Qian Shu was pulled back to Piao Yuan's thoughts by his good brother Shen Qiu, and smiled teasingly: "No, he is still good-looking, much more handsome than your paralyzed face!"

"Heh!" Shen Qiu sneered, and said indifferently: "I think you are itchy, please beat me!"

"Hahaha, it's just a joke, Brother Shen doesn't have to take it seriously!" Not only was Qian Shu not frightened by his words, but he stretched out his hands to pinch Shen Qiu's expressionless face.

Seeing that he was about to make a move, he leaned sideways towards Bai Yu and Chen Yuanwai.

Shen Qiu stared at Qianshu's fleeing figure, with a faint cold light shining in his calm eyes.

This kid is becoming more and more presumptuous, even though he is an hour older than him, he dares to tease himself as 'Shen brother', when he leaves the Chen residence, he must be taught a lesson.

Wen Qian found Jiang Huai, Zhang Hua, Tang Wu, and Lin Yan in a corner of the hall, and the four of them were fighting for wine.

Seeing Wen Qian, they all got up and saluted, and Wen Qian sat down after returning the salute.

Seeing that Wen Qian had already sat down, Zhang Hua poured him a cup of herbal tea, then knocked on the wine jar in the middle of the table with a folding fan, and said with a smile, "Jiang Huai, hurry up! You only drank half of a jar of liquor, a big man , it’s no fun to play tricks!”

Jiang Huai touched the wine jar on the table and smiled: "Zhang Hua, I'm a pure man. I'm willing to gamble and admit defeat. How can I cheat? I'm just full. Why don't you tell Chen Yuanwai to let him take half of the jar? Take me home to drink wine!"

"Hey, you have a good idea!"

Tang Wu paused on purpose when he said this, a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes, he shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, your idea is too beautiful, so you have to ask us whether to agree or not. Right?"

Jiang Huai smiled flatteringly at Tang Wu: "Good brother, you must take my side."
