Poor Family: I reached the top by marrying a wife

Although the villagers were reluctant, they eventually left.

After the villagers left, Jiang Chen took Zhou Laosi and Laowu to start making a blacksmith's furnace.

"Brother Jiang, can you also forge iron?"

The Zhou brothers were stunned.

They didn't expect that Jiang Chen was not only a carpenter, but also a blacksmith.

"I know a lot!"

Jiang Chen said with a smug look on his face.

Then he looked at Zhou Laosi.

"Old Four, you will learn the blacksmithing skills from me in the future. You are strong and suitable for it!"

"Thank you, Brother Jiang!"

Zhou Laosi was extremely excited.

The blacksmith's skills are no worse than those of a carpenter!

With the efforts of the three people, the blacksmith's furnace was soon completed.

After all, there are few men in this era who can’t do bricklaying.

When it was time for dinner, Zhou Laoer was missing from the table.

Jiang Chen originally wanted to call Zhou Laoer, but Lao San and others said it was not necessary.

After all, everyone else is eating at the construction site, and it would be bad to give the second child special treatment.

Moreover, the food at the construction site is already very good.

In the next two days, Jiang Chen led Zhou Laosi and Laowu to make a honeycomb coal stove, and then smashed all the coal blocks and waited to make honeycomb coal.

However, on the afternoon of the third day, Jiang Chen rode to the town and came to Mr. Xue Sanye's house.

"Brother Jiang! You are finally here!"

When Xue Laosan saw Jiang Chen, he hurried forward.

He thought Jiang Chen would come in the morning and had been waiting for the whole morning.

"Third Master, I'm sorry, I'm late."

"Well, I'll find an inn to stay for one night and come to see you tomorrow morning!" Jiang Chen said embarrassedly.

"Brother! What are you talking about? Are you trying to slap me in the face?"

Third Master Xue said angrily: "You came to my brother's place, why do you live outside?"

"Just stay at home. We won't go home until we're drunk today!"

……

"This……"

Although Jiang Chen felt embarrassed, he was finally allowed to stay by Mr. Xue San.

In the evening, the two drank and chatted together.

After Jiang Chen had more contact with Master Xue, he discovered that Master Xue was not as scary as the legend said.

Although he acts arrogantly, he is also generous and loyal to his brothers.

When they got drunk, Third Master Xue even asked Jiang Chen to become sworn brothers with him!

The sworn brotherhood in ancient times is completely different from that in later generations!

Young people in later generations will also imitate the ancients in swearing brotherhood when they get drunk, but those are just drunken talk and they are all drinking buddies without any loyalty.

But it was different in ancient times!

After becoming sworn brothers, they become real brothers!

Even if one becomes emperor, the other can be a prince!

This... this becoming sworn brothers with Third Master Xue was really unexpected for Jiang Chen.

From now on... can he be considered a mixed person?

However, there are many benefits to becoming sworn brothers with Mr. Xue San, so why not do it!

The next morning, Mr. Xue San was even more enthusiastic about Jiang Chen.

The two of them had breakfast, rode their horses, and went to the county town with a few guards.

When they arrived at the gate of the county town, Mr. Xue stopped and dismounted.

Even he wouldn't dare to ride his horse across the county town so arrogantly!

"Brother Jiang, don't be nervous. Although there are many rules in the county, everything will be easy with me here!"

"When we get to my second uncle's house, I'll take you to see him first!"

Third Master Xue was afraid that Jiang Chen would be nervous, so he comforted him.

However, Jiang Chen was not too nervous.

At this time, Jiang Chen was looking around.

This county town is much more prosperous than the town.

I don’t know if it’s because today is the county magistrate’s birthday, but there are so many pedestrians and vendors on the street.

……

Jiang Chen followed Mr. Xue San and came to the county magistrate's house.

When he saw this house, Jiang Chen was stunned!

It’s worthy of being the county magistrate’s house!

It’s even bigger than Mr. Xue’s before!

Moreover, the guests coming in and out of the door were all dressed in silk and satin.

In such an occasion, Jiang Chen, the only one wearing coarse linen clothes, suddenly looked out of place.

However, among the guests coming and going, many knew Mr. Xue San.

They subconsciously thought that Jiang Chen was Mr. Xue Sanye's follower, so they didn't say anything.

Third Master Xue brought Jiang Chen all the way to the backyard.

Led by the servant, the two met the county magistrate.

"Uncle! I brought the person to you!"

When Mr. Xue San saw the county magistrate, he shouted happily.

"Hahaha! Great! I want to see this person's talent today!"

The county magistrate came out smiling.

But when Jiang Chen saw the county magistrate, he was stunned.

In his opinion, the county magistrate must be a corrupt official, so the county magistrate in his imagination must be dressed in brocade and silk and have a big belly.

But who would have known that this county magistrate was actually a middle-aged man in his forties, with a well-proportioned figure, and even looked a bit like a Confucian scholar.

Especially the temperament in his every move, it is hard to imagine that he is a corrupt official!

"Brother Jiang, this is my second uncle, why don't you greet him?" Third Master Xue saw Jiang Chen staring at the county magistrate and spoke hurriedly.

"I greet Master Xue!"

Jiang Chen reacted and bowed hurriedly.

But when Mr. Xue San saw this scene, he was shocked!

Because when common people see the county magistrate, they should kneel down and worship him!

……

Third Master Xue was afraid that his second uncle would be angry, so he hurriedly said, "Second Uncle, Jiang Chen and I have become sworn brothers, and he is also half your nephew. He doesn't know the etiquette, you... don't be offended!"

"Hahaha, no way!"

The county magistrate laughed loudly, then looked at Jiang Chen lovingly and said, "Nephew Jiang actually swore brotherhood with the third brother, so he is my nephew!"

"Nephew, get up!"

"Thank you, sir."

Jiang Chen stood up after hearing what the county magistrate said.

However, he also felt a chill down his spine now.

What Mr. Xue San said just now reminded him.

In this era, the rules are very strict!

He almost got into trouble!

"Haha, no need to be so polite, just call me Second Uncle like the Third Brother!"

"I really like your wonderful box and tiger!" said the county magistrate, looking at Jiang Chen with a smile on his face.

"As long as you like it, my lord. If you like anything else in the future, I will do my best to make it for you!" Jiang Chen said respectfully.

"Haha, good, not bad, I like this character."

"Third brother, didn't you say that he wanted to be the village chief of Zhoujia Village? Then let him be it!" said the county magistrate with satisfaction.

"Thank you, second uncle!" Mr. Xue was overjoyed when he heard this.

Jiang Chen was also extremely surprised.

After chatting with the two men for a few words, the county magistrate left to receive guests.

When these guests entered the county magistrate's courtyard, they were all extremely shocked!

Because the county magistrate placed Jiang Chen’s sculpture of a tiger descending the mountain on the rockery in the yard!

When the guests came in, they thought the tiger was real!

Everyone was shocked!

But after being shocked, they were full of praise for the tiger.

Some even asked the county magistrate privately where the tiger came from.

When the county magistrate was asked about this, he said proudly: "This tiger has an extraordinary origin!"

"I have two nephews. To celebrate my birthday, one of them went to the mountains to kill a tiger."

"Another person made this tiger out of tiger skin himself!"
