Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

Eat and drink enough.

Wang Zeren felt a little uncomfortable in his head, even though he had only drunk two glasses. He was about to go to the side to get some fresh air to sober up, when he saw Chen Sanlin not far away.

Perhaps it was the alcohol that made Wang Zeren walk towards him.

There was a figure next to him. Chen Sanlin tilted his head slightly, and there was no other expression on his face after he saw who it was.

"Chen Sanlin, right?" Wang Zeren stretched his waist and straightened his body.

"Well, what's the matter?"

Wang Zeren was also a little stunned at this time. Why did he look for him? Did he want to tell him openly that he liked Xu Wenyan and asked him to give her to him? Or did he want to warn him to use his official position to forcibly snatch her away?

After a brainstorm, Wang Zeren chuckled and said, "It's nothing. I just want to tell you that if you don't cherish something, someone will cherish it like a treasure."

"That may disappoint you, but our relationship is better than you think." Chen Sanlin didn't want to say anything more to this man, and there was no need for him to be nice to him.

Wang Zeren just raised his head and looked at the night sky. The night sky was beautiful tonight, with stars all over the sky but not a single cloud. The spring breeze blew, and after taking a breath of cool air, his body shivered slightly.

"Yeah."

Everyone chatted for a while and then dispersed. This was probably the first time Xu Wenyan attended such a collective farewell party.

He had never been to a farewell party in middle school or university. In his eyes, classmates were just classmates and there was no need to have close friendships.

Xu Wenyan got up very early today.

Yesterday, Wang Zeren said he would take him to see the horses. Could it be that he was finally going to get the means of transportation he had been longing for?

"Brother Chen, just eat whatever you made this morning." Xu Wenyan packed up hurriedly and prepared to leave.

If you ask about yesterday's leftovers, there aren't any. If Xu Wenyan hadn't stopped them, they would have scraped the pot clean and were almost done licking the plate.

Each one of them looks like a starving ghost.

Chen Sanlin sat up without even having time to put on his clothes and grabbed Xu Wenyan's wrist: "I want to go too."

"What are you going to do? His horse can only carry one person." Xu Wenyan touched the scar on Sanlin's collarbone. If it had happened to him, he would have fainted from the pain.

Being hugged by Chen Sanlin, Xu Wenyan stroked his hair, not knowing why this guy was so clingy: "I will be back in the afternoon, don't worry, I will bring you something delicious when I come back."

"I'm not a child anymore." Chen Sanlin rubbed against Xu Wenyan's arms.

"Okay, okay, just wait for me to come back."

After I finally left, Wang Zeren was already waiting at the entrance of the village.

Xu Wenyan carried a cloth bag and carefully held the only three taels of silver in the family in his arms. If it was lost, the whole family would have nothing to eat.

Xu Wenyan distributed yesterday's sweet potatoes to Xiaohu and Chen Xingjie's families. They will live their own lives from now on, so this stuff should naturally be divided equally. After the rabbits and chickens are raised, some will be given to them.

But Xiaohu said he didn't want it and wanted to be raised together with Xu Wenyan. Xiaohu was the only one at home now and he was really too busy to take care of it, so Xu Wenyan didn't refuse.

At this time, Wang Zeren was already waiting at the entrance of the village: "You came so early."

"Yeah." Wang Zelin immediately nodded his head to signal Xu Wenyan to come up.

"Hold on to me, don't fall."

Xu Wenyan snorted disdainfully: "Oh, with my balance, is it necessary to...oh shit!"

Mo Xuan suddenly started to jog. Xu Wenyan almost fell backwards before he could finish his words. He had no choice but to hold Wang Zeren's waist tightly: "Fuck you."

Wang Zeren smiled and said, "I don't have an uncle."

"Then your uncle's."

"I don't even have an uncle, how can I have a second uncle?"

Xu Wenyan:......

Perhaps he could only use this little trick to make Xu Wenyan closer to him, but this was enough, feeling the person behind him holding his hand and chattering.

I heard him talk about the beautiful scenery in the mountains, heard him admire the plants on the roadside that he had never carefully observed, and heard him shout excitedly, saying something like, "It's the first time someone took him horse racing, it's so exciting."

Wang Zeren kept every word he said in his heart, and he didn't know when he would see him again.

"Finally we're here."

Wang Zeren carried him down and the two of them stood at the gate of the county government.

"You said you would take me to see the horses. Do you mean to see them here? I take the county magistrate's horse?"

Wang Zeren didn't say anything, but just pulled Xu Wenyan in. The clerk at the door greeted him respectfully. After tying up Mo Xuan, he said, "Well, what else can we do? There are horses here in the county."

The two walked into the lobby. On the chair in the front, a fat man in official uniform was wiping the jade in his hand: "Captain Wang, you are leaving so early."

"County Magistrate Cheng, you are joking. Last time I mentioned that to you, I brought him here to choose horses." Wang Zeren said coldly.

Xu Wenyan saw the fat county magistrate stand up. He didn't expect that although County Magistrate Cheng was fat, his legs and feet were quite nimble. He walked over quickly, circled around the two of them, and observed Xu Wenyan carefully.

"Hey, this boy, he looks okay."

"Stop talking nonsense and take us there."

"Haha, yes, yes, he'll be promoted to the sixth rank soon, but his temper is still the same." County Magistrate Cheng led the way with his hands behind his back, and soon the three of them arrived at the stable of the county government.

There were six horses in the stable, a black pony with a white stripe on its face, and one chestnut horse. The others had mixed stripes, either gray or black and white.

"Brother Xu, which one do you like?"

The county magistrate has been smiling since he came in and looks quite kind, but Xu Wenyan would not decide whether a person is trustworthy based on his appearance.

"You are too polite, magistrate. I would like to ask how old they are?" Xu Wenyan asked respectfully. For an important person like this, although he appears to be friendly on the surface, what he needs most in his heart is not to give in to his respect.

Xu Wenyan doesn’t think that he is a person with “connections” and he still has to pretend when necessary.

County Magistrate Cheng laughed dryly and said, "The red one is the most suitable. It is already over three years old and is now at the right age to work."

"Well, the county magistrate's vision is certainly not wrong. I will take it. I am really troublesome to you, county magistrate." Xu Wenyan said with a kind smile.

"Okay, you guys take the horses out and someone will get you a car. I'll be busy now."

Xu Wenyan stepped back and made way: "Haha, County Magistrate Cheng, please take care."

"I don't see you being so polite to me."

"Tsk." Xu Wenyan put his hand on Wang Zeren's shoulder: "I have a good relationship with you, but I am so polite even though I am not familiar with you. Let's go and take a look at the carriage."
