The boss is coming, the scumbag is going to be in trouble
Chapter 36 The Desperate Number One Scholar——Shi Qiaoniang 5
"Okay, my son is satisfied now." Lord Zhou laughed.
Zhou Rou raised her sleeves to cover her face and hurried back to the back hall.
Xihe also looked at the memory. She didn't want an innocent girl to be implicated by that beast, so she transformed into a white-haired Kun Taoist and knocked on the door of the Zhou family.
"Knock Knock Knock..."
A servant quickly opened the door, and upon seeing Xihe, he bowed and asked respectfully, "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
"I want to see your master."
"Wait a moment, I will go and report to the master." The servant hurried into the front hall.
After hearing what the servant said, Lord Zhou stroked his beard, thought for a moment, and said, "Please let her in!"
"Yes, my lord."
Xihe followed the servants into the deep courtyard.
"Please, please, please, come in." Lord Zhou immediately smiled when he saw Xihe's face, and warmly invited Xihe in.
Xihe also smiled and nodded to him, then followed him into the living room.
"Excuse me, Taoist priest, have you noticed anything wrong in our house?" Lord Zhou asked with a smile, feeling a little uneasy.
If a monk suddenly comes to someone's family, everyone will feel uneasy.
"Everything else in the mansion is going smoothly, except for a black aura that has invaded your mansion." Xihe replied with a chuckle.
"What black air?" Lord Zhou couldn't sit still when he heard it, and he asked hurriedly.
"Well, it's someone you've been in contact with in recent days. People like him are unlucky in marriage." Xihe emphasized the word "unlucky in marriage". Lord Zhou was a man in the court, so he understood.
He lowered his head and thought, and began to recall the people he had come into contact with in recent days. Then he thought of one person - Lin Yuan.
His face turned very ugly, but he didn't think Xihe would lie to him.
"Thank you, Taoist priest." Lord Zhou quickly figured it out. It was just a top scholar, not a rare thing. He stood up and clasped his fists towards Xihe.
Then he nodded to the butler beside him, and the butler hurried into the inner room.
Soon he came out holding a box. Master Zhou said with a smile, "Please accept this, Taoist priest."
Xihe took it without refusing, looked at Lord Zhou and said, "Goodbye."
"Master, please come in." Lord Zhou bowed and saw the guest off.
Xihe walked a few steps, turned around and said, "His brother and he have a father-son relationship."
When Lord Zhou heard this, he was stunned: "What do you mean his brother and he have a father-son relationship?"
When the butler came back after sending Xihe away, Lord Zhou was still muttering to himself.
"Sir, could they be father and son?" the butler whispered.
"Yes, that's what the Taoist priest meant." When Lord Zhou heard this, his eyes lit up.
"Go, find someone to check it out."
"Yes, my lord."
Lord Zhou could not believe Xihe's words completely, but he also could not disbelieve them either.
The people raised by wealthy families are very capable, and he came back soon.
After he came back, he told Lord Zhou what he had found out. Lord Zhou threw the teacup in front of him when he heard it.
"How bold this boy is! He actually dares... actually dares..." Lord Zhou couldn't continue, because it was his family who was choosing a son-in-law.
Lord Zhou calmed down and whispered a few words to the butler, who nodded and left the living room.
"Crash!" Lin Yuan was so angry that he overturned the table in front of him after listening to the housekeeper's report.
"Son! What's wrong with you?" Old man Lin and his wife hurried into the study and asked in a low voice.
"You go out first." Lin Yuan suppressed his anger and waved to the housekeeper.
The butler bowed to the few people and left the study.
"Mom and Dad, the person from the Zhou family just came and returned the horoscope, and also said..." Lin Yuan gritted his teeth in hatred.
"What else?" the couple asked anxiously.
"And they said that my horoscope would bring bad luck to my wife..." Lin Yuan was so angry that he was speechless. He was about to marry the daughter of a high-ranking official, but now he has lost everything.
"What? How can they talk nonsense? How could my son's horoscope make him unlucky in marriage?" Mrs. Lin was about to curse, but when she saw the look in the father and son's eyes, she swallowed the curse words.
"Yuan'er, what should we do now?" Old Man Lin could plot against ordinary farmers at home, but their schemes were useless when they arrived in the capital.
"Let's choose someone else! We have no chance of winning against the Zhou family. He can crush me to death by himself." Lin Yuan suppressed his resentment and said in a low voice.
"Okay, let's choose again. It would be great if I could marry the princess..." Mrs. Lin never stopped talking until she was shocked.
Neither the father nor the son spoke. Lin Yuan was a well-known figure in the county, but he was not so well-known in the capital.
Before their family could take any action, a nursery rhyme spread throughout the capital.
Lin Yuan was walking outside and heard this, so angry that his nose was crooked.
What does it mean that the new number one scholar loves his wife? What does it mean that if you enter the Lin family, you will die...
He grabbed a child and asked, "Who told you to sing?"
"A big sister." The little kid answered with a smile.
"What does it look like?" Lin Yuan asked anxiously again.
"Very beautiful." The child began to struggle to free his hand from Lin Yuan's grasp and said impatiently, "Let me go quickly! I want to sing more!"
Lin Yuan wanted to maintain his image, so he quickly let go of the child.
The child made a face at him and ran away.
Lin Yuan walked and thought, he felt that someone was behind him. He had to find that person.
……
"Chief, this is a letter from the capital." Someone ran up to Chief Lin with the letter and said anxiously.
"Capital?" When Patriarch Lin heard the man's words, he thought of Lin Yuan. He hurriedly took the letter and opened it, and a bright smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Hahaha..." Patriarch Lin put his hands on his waist and held the letter, laughing loudly.
When the busy villagers heard the chief's laughter, they hurried over and surrounded him, asking questions one after another.
"Hahaha, our village has produced a top scholar, hahaha... smoke is also coming out of our Lin family's ancestral tomb..."
"What? Lin Yuan passed the exam?"
"Has our village really produced a top scholar?"
……
When the villagers heard the chief's words, they all looked at him excitedly with excited smiles on their faces.
"Yes, Lin Yuan is now the top scholar." Patriarch Lin heard the questions from the crowd and said to them with a smile.
He concealed what Lin Yuan had told him and did not tell anyone.
"By the way, let's quickly repair our house so that Mr. Zhuangyuan can see his brand new home when he comes back." Chief Lin gave instructions to everyone, asking them to quickly clean up the messy village.
"Hey! Okay, okay, we'll do it right away."
After hearing this, the villagers ran towards their homes and got busy. They had to quickly make their homes better so that they could welcome the number one scholar.
Chief Lin looked at the letter in his hand and asked his son to call the elders.
