Chapter 59

The red candles are dim and the tents are closed, and the beauty is full of beauty.

Yang Zhao walked into the room with a bit of drunkenness, and the faint smell of wine wafted between the walks. In the room, the red gauze wedding curtain, mandarin ducks and brocade quilts, Yu Miaojun's eyebrows and eyes were like spring photos, and she sat on the bedside with a light frown and a smile, waiting for Yang Zhao. Step by step closer.

Today is an auspicious day for Nie Shanen and Zhang Yuantong to get married.

Yang Zhao came to the bed, pretending to be unsteady, and accidentally fell on Zui Miaojun, teasingly said: "Lady, you are so soft."

Yu Miaojun: "..."

Yang Zhao just thought it was inconvenient for her to answer, seeing her black and white eyes reflecting his own appearance, his heart seemed to be scratched by a soft feather, so he played in his heart: "I am wronged to marry me in this shabby room. It’s a humble room, but with a lady there, it’s still full of clouds.”

In order to get married, he bought a house in the county with a small yard and complete internal organs.

Yang Zhao led Yu Miaojun to the table, and both drank the wine together. Seeing that Yu Miaojun's cheeks were stained red, he said meanly, "Although the lady can't speak, she is very obedient and obedient. I like it very much. "

"Oh? So you like this?"

Yang Zhao: "..."

"Aren't you dumb?!" Yang Zhao looked like he had seen a ghost.

Wu Miaojun snorted coldly: "Don't you know that my spiritual consciousness can repair Zhang Yuantong's natural dumb disease?"

"But... why didn't you speak before?" He was surprised by this at first!

"Too lazy to say it, if I said it, how would I hear what's in your heart today?"

"..."

Yang Zhao became angry from embarrassment, picked up Yu Miaojun, and hurried to the bed.

Once in the spring night, the room is full of dark fragrance.

In the past few days, people in Dongshan Village can hear people discussing the marriage between Nie Shanen and Zhang Yuantong every day. Many people even went to the county town to watch the ceremony. They all said that Zhang Yuantong is blessed. If you are a scholar, your vision is good!
Nie Dafu's family naturally heard about it, and they all wondered where did Nie Shanen get the money?Since they are so rich, why don't they see a single star?It's not that they didn't have trouble during the period, but both Nie Xiangwen and Ma Shi had suffered from Zhang Xiucai, and they were severely frightened when they went to Zhang's house to ask for an explanation, so they had to stop.

Until this time, they learned that Miss Liu's family hadn't been ill a while ago, and there was no maid named Xiaotao by her side. They realized that they were actually deceived by Nie Shan'en, and they thought they had the confidence to rush to Zhang's house again, thinking Wanting to take advantage of it, only to find that the yard has been locked, and the building has long since been deserted.

Nie Shan'en and Zhang's family left Dongshan Village so quietly.

Some villagers commented: "It's good to leave, but with these parents here, I don't know how I will be sucked blood in the future?"

"Yes, Nie Dalang's wife promised Erlang back then, isn't it embarrassing for this brother to meet?"

"Hey, what a good boy, he has abilities. I don't know if old man Nie and Mrs. Ma regret it or not?"

"Who knows? I just hope that good people will be rewarded..."

The curved water is long and the blue waves are surging.

On the Songjiang River, a merchant ship is sailing in the vast river, with green hills in the distance, swallows singing and warblers dancing on both sides of the river.

In the cabin, Zhang Xiucai was sitting opposite Nie Shanen, but seeing that he was full of energy and rosy complexion, how could he look as weak as before?Zhang Xiucai took a sip of tea lightly and sighed: "I don't know if it's good or bad to go to Guancheng for thousands of miles?"

"Father-in-law, since the imperial court has issued a decree, there must be regulations for the relocation of the city. Even if it really doesn't go well, we can still return to Xingyang without delay." Yang Zhao respectfully said.

"Yes, father, today's sage is wise and powerful. For more than ten years, he has conquered barbarians and conquered the country. Now the generation of Xiaguan has been completely controlled by Hongguo. The barbarians who were rampant back then have fled far away, and there is no royal court in Mobei." The recovering Mr. Miaomiao spoke with eloquence in his voice like a trickle: "Guancheng has been ruled by barbarians for decades, and it is the time when the population is thin and everything is waiting to be rebuilt. If there is not enough manpower to support it, the land will inevitably be destroyed. It is abandoned, and taxes are difficult to collect, so foreigners are encouraged to settle here, and it will be better than Xingyang regardless of scientific examinations or taxes.”

Zhang Xiucai nodded again and again, he was happy that his daughter's dumb illness had recovered, and seeing that her daughter was not as short-sighted as ordinary women, he felt more and more proud. In this way, if Nie Shanen went to high school, his daughter could also give him a great help.

He changed his voice and said: "Anyway, thank you, don't miss your homework. Now you have achieved success in your studies, but your imperial examinations are still classics and history. With your talent, you only need to work hard and not slack off. You may pass the children's examination next year." try."

"Yes, father-in-law."

The peach hair and the willow wither, the tide rises and the sun sets, and the arrows are spit out every year.

Four years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the people of Dongshan Village no longer talk about a scholar who once lived in the village. Hot pot restaurants are blooming all over the country like a hundred flowers.The Nie family is not the Nie family that sold their son for 800 taels of silver. They moved into a big house in Xingyang County. The people they come and go with are all officials, gentry and merchants. The ruffians who oppressed them in the past have nothing to say now. get on?Not to mention these honest farmers...

"I heard that the potatoes they planted, as well as the tomatoes and peppers, were reported to the Holy Lord by the high officials in the mansion. Not long ago, the palace gave a plaque, saying something like 'know farming, benefit the world', I don't understand, but it's just to grow vegetables, and the emperor even cares about growing vegetables?" A woman said while plowing.

Another fat woman said: "It seems to say that the yield of potatoes is very high, and if they are full, more people will no longer be hungry. Isn't our brother-in-law an servant in the yamen? He said that the imperial court will vigorously promote potato planting. We people Everyone can grow it, and there are tax relief policies.”

"Really? Then... what kind of tomato is that, and that pepper, can we grow it too?"

"I don't know about that. Why are those crops so good? Didn't the three Wangs and Laos in the village steal the seeds from the Nie family before? What happened? Nothing was planted, and a whole season of the field was wasted, and the soil was ruined. The fat woman said sourly: "The Nie family is really good at farming. No matter what grows in their fields, they grow very well. It is the first time for them to plant those novel seeds. How do they know how to do it?" It was planted by accident, really... as if there were gods helping."

"That's right, no matter the floods or droughts these few years, their fields are always so good, it's amazing."

They will never know that Nie Xiangwen has watered the fields of Nie's family with green water. Even if a stone is planted for a long time, it may bloom, so how can it be bad?

At this time, in the garden of Nie's house in Xingyang County, Nie Xiangwen was lying on a rattan couch, and a short table beside him was filled with fruit refreshments, and several maids were carefully serving them, some serving tea, some beating their legs , Occasionally, they would be teased by the master, and their silver bell-like laughter could be heard in the yard from time to time.

A middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper came quickly, bowed and saluted: "Master, I heard that this newly appointed county magistrate has a lot of background. He turned out to be the new champion of Chunwei this year. I heard that the emperor valued him very much. I wanted to keep him in the Hanlin Academy as a editor, but he invited himself to Xingyang County."

Nie Xiangwen's eyes flashed: "Oh? But that new champion who came out of Guancheng and is rumored to be underage? What is his name, Nie Zihui?" He said sarcastically, "You still belong to my family."

"Exactly." The butler replied.

This year's new champion is different from the past. It is not from the traditional strong imperial examination areas such as the Central Plains and Jiangnan, nor is it a well-known student from other prefectures. Instead, it is a single seedling from Guancheng. On the way, he passed five passes and killed six generals, and even tried the palace test in the provincial examination, becoming Hongguo's first "three yuan" champion!
With such momentum, even Nie Xiangwen, who never cared about these things, listened a few times.

"But Zihui is just his name, and his name is Nie Shanen."

"Nie Huen..." Nie Xiangwen was about to nod his head when his eyes widened suddenly: "What did you say his name was?!"

The butler was taken aback, and subconsciously said: "Nie Shan'en, I will pay you back, and I will pay you back."

"..."

Nie Xiangwen's heart skipped a beat. This person...couldn't be his cheap brother, could he?He shook his head again, it shouldn't be possible, Nie Shan'en could not even read a few words back then, now it's only been four years, how could he become the number one scholar?Most of them have the same name!

But if it wasn't for Nie Shan'en, why didn't he stay in the Hanlin Academy, but why did he come to Xingyang County to be a county magistrate?

Nie Xiangwen didn't know what to do, couldn't sit still, and finally couldn't bear the torment of guessing. He stood up abruptly and said, "Get the car, I'll go to the county government to see the magistrate!"

"Yes."

When they were ready to come to the door for a meeting ceremony, they realized that County Magistrate Nie did not live in the county office, but returned to his family's house in Xingyang County. Nie asked Wen Tuo for the address, and hurriedly turned the car and drove towards West Lane.

When he arrived at the place, he handed over the greeting card first, and soon someone led him in.

Nie Xiangwen sat in the main hall and waited. The servant girls served him refreshments. He drank half a cup of tea but no one came, and it was difficult to move around.

The visitor was only in his early twenties, but he was already a majestic official. He was wearing a blue gown, which made him tall and straight, and his face was like a crown jade.

Nie Xiangwen was shocked that Nie County Magistrate was really Nie Shanen!
He suppressed the jealousy in his heart, and then thought that Nie Shan'en was his rightful elder brother. No matter how displeased he was with what happened in the past, and how he turned into Xiaguan nationality, his surname was Nie after all. Although the family had been separated, his parents were still righteous. Now, this is something he can't change no matter what. He becomes the county magistrate, which is only good for him.

Wanting to pass the test, his heart relaxed, and a surprise smile appeared on his face: "Brother! Is it really you?" Before Nie Hui'en could answer, he said aggrievedly: "You... where have you been all these years? Mom and Dad miss you so much that you don’t think about food and drink, and your hair is greying, but now it’s all right, the elder brother is back and has become the county magistrate of our Xingyang County, and Mom and Dad don’t know how to be happy when they know about it!”

After expressing his emotions, Nie Shan'en just sat down calmly on the head, and didn't pay any attention to him.

The old servant on the side snapped: "Bold! Why don't common people kneel when they see officials? But they want to commit disrespect?!"

Nie Xiangwen was startled, the shadow of being flogged back then was buried deep in his heart, and he had an instinctive fear of officials, he subconsciously softened his legs, and fell to his knees with a "plop", only then did he realize that he was humiliated, but... Nie Shanen is an official, he is a citizen, not to mention him, even if Nie Dafu and Mrs. Ma came here, they can only kneel down honestly when they see the county magistrate.

Kneeling down in front of this person he had never looked down upon, he bowed his head respectfully, his blood boiled with humiliation, and his heart was full of hatred.
