his possessiveness
Chapter 69
A moment after Mo Xiaoyu and Du Xiu stepped into the restaurant, Pei Shao also walked in with his little snake.County magistrate Lu only said that he held a banquet in the restaurant and asked them to report his name, so Pei Shao didn't quite know which room the other party had reserved.
Mo Jian'an was two steps ahead of them. Although the status of a merchant was not considered noble in this dynasty, no one knew that the Mo family in the county was rich, so as soon as he came in and proposed his purpose, Xiaoer took him to the county magistrate's house. In the private room, of course at the same time, he didn't want to make himself look too deliberate, so he booked another private room so that he could pretend to meet Magistrate Lu by chance.
Magistrate Lu did not expect to run into Mo Jianan here, but the other party was quite honest and would visit him during the holidays, so Magistrate Lu's attitude towards him was not so indifferent.
Mo Jian'an first pretended to be very surprised, then bowed his bow before looking into the private room, and asked, "Who did the county magistrate invite to come to the Zhuangyuan restaurant today?"
Of course he knew in his heart that he was the new Master Juren, but he didn't expect to see him, otherwise he could have asked the other party's identity logically.
There is nothing to hide about this, County Magistrate Lu thought for a while and replied: "This year's township examination Xie Yuan came from our small county town, so I invited Xie Yuan to a banquet today."
Hearing his words, Mo Jian'an was a bit surprised. He knew he was a Juren, but he never thought that he was actually a Jieyuan.Xie Yuan in the provincial capital was basically able to pass the Jinshi relatively steadily when he took part in the general examination. He was a student of the Son of Heaven and was extremely honorable.
At that time, no matter what, he will be an existence that he can't wait to climb.
Mo Jian'an felt that he couldn't let go of this opportunity no matter what, so he didn't leave cheekily, and kept chatting with Magistrate Lu one after another.After all, his ambition is not only to be a businessman in this small county town, if he really climbs up a high branch in the future, he can transfer to the capital at that time, and he may even have a chance to become an imperial businessman.
Thinking of this possibility, Mo Jianan felt a little hopeful and yearning.
County magistrate Lu also saw that the other party wanted to get acquainted, and he was not such a stingy person, so he went with Mo Jianan.
"Today, let the grass-roots people come to invite adults to reconcile Master Xie Yuan. After all, it is so rare to meet adults in a restaurant by chance." Mo Jianan said without blushing.
However, the cost of this restaurant is not small, if you want to order more than a dozen dishes decently, you must spend hundreds of taels of silver.Although this is not impossible for the county magistrate, it is a little expensive after all, and he should be very happy with his proposal.
County Magistrate Lu really thought the same way. Originally, his salary was not much, and his family's assets were gradually saved. Naturally, he felt a little distressed, and he didn't say anything as a tacit consent.
Mo Jian'an saw that Xiao Ercai was not ready yet, so he smiled and said to County Magistrate Lu, "How about I remind you?"
Magistrate Lu guessed that Pei Shao would be coming soon, so he nodded in agreement.
As soon as he left the private room and walked to the stairs, Mo Jian'an heard a familiar voice, which seemed to be arguing.
He looked down, and saw that the person speaking was Du Xiu, the accountant he had hired, and Mo Xiaoyu was standing beside him.Mo Jian'an just remembered the two people, and wondered why Xiao Yu came here, so he went downstairs in a hurry, trying to urge the other party to go upstairs to build a good relationship with the county magistrate.
When he got closer, he realized that there were two people standing opposite Du Xiu. One of them he remembered after looking at it for a long time. It turned out to be the handsome poor scholar he saw in his shop that day. It's just good looks, and I hope Mo Xiaoyu will stay away from him, but I didn't expect Mo Xiaoyu to have contact with him.
For the time being, he didn't think about why this poor scholar could come into this Zhuangyuan restaurant. After all, there are more important people waiting for them now, and the most urgent thing is to take Mo Xiaoyu away as soon as possible.
Mo Xiaoyu had just entered the restaurant and planned to go upstairs to find her father according to Xiaoer's prompt, but she didn't expect to see the person she just saw walking in after just standing there for a while, so she stopped for a while. So anxious, she wanted to see what the other party wanted to do.
Could it be that seeing them come in made me want to come in too?
Of course, Du Xiu was even more surprised. He despised Pei Shao in his heart when he saw Pei Shao holding candied haws in his hand, and walked into the restaurant arrogantly under the other party's gaze. Who would have thought that the other party would also come in behind him? .
The biggest guess in his mind was that Pei Shao might not know the consumption level in this No. [-] restaurant, so he rashly brought the newlyweds here to save face.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, so Du Xiu felt that he should tell the other party kindly. Of course, his original purpose was to make Pei Shao look ugly in front of everyone, especially if his newlywed wife also knew that the other party wanted to slap her face to make up for it. What would the fat man think of him?Du Xiu would like to see how even Jiang Li dislikes him.
And he felt very uncomfortable seeing Jiang Li protecting Pei Shao. How could someone like Pei Shao deserve someone to look towards him.
"Do you know what this place is?" Du Xiugang asked maliciously.
At this time, Mo Jian'an had already gone downstairs and approached. He didn't want his daughter to waste her words on this poor scholar, so he interrupted Du Xiu's words.
"Why did you come here? Go up quickly." Mo Jianan frowned and said to Mo Xiaoyu.
Mo Xiaoyu had watched Du Xiu intentionally humiliate Pei Shao, and looked on inexplicably, but he didn't expect his father to come down and interrupt them at this time, and felt a little unwilling.
"Understood." Mo Xiaoyu replied obediently, and stood behind Mo Jianan.
Seeing that it was Mo Jian'an, Du Xiu naturally didn't dare to say any more, so he regretted not being able to personally humiliate Pei Shao today.
"Xiao Er, hurry up to bring the food and drinks in the magistrate's room, or you will offend the distinguished guests and you are the only one to ask." He tilted his head and said to Xiao Er, and after speaking, he planned to take the two of them upstairs.
Mo Jian'an didn't take Pei Shao seriously, he just glanced at the young man, but worried that Mo Xiaoyu would be obsessed with him because of his skin, he paused, then stopped and said to Xiao Er: "This The scholar must have gone to the wrong place, Xiaoer, show some winks, don’t welcome everyone, or you may let some people with poor wallets come in.” After finishing speaking, he went upstairs again.
Mo Xiaoyu didn't expect that her father would take the initiative to help her vent her anger, and she showed a shallow smile proudly. She just glanced at Pei Shao and his village woman, then raised the corner of her skirt and followed her father's pace. Good-looking is just a village woman who doesn't know people clearly.
Xiao Er naturally knew Mo Jian'an, after all, the other party had been to his restaurant many times, and what the other party said had some influence on him.
Xiao Er took a look at Pei Shao, but he didn't have a bad attitude immediately, but he wasn't enthusiastic either.He has been here for a long time, and he knows some skills to judge people. From the clothes of these two people, it can be seen that they are not rich and powerful, but it is not impossible to spend some money in the lobby.
So I just asked, "My lord, do you use it in the lobby?" The location in the lobby is not private enough, and it is very noisy, but the price is much more affordable than the private room, usually a dozen taels of silver is almost the same, and it is the choice of ordinary wealthy families. .
As soon as Pei Shao shook his head, Xiaoer asked in surprise, "Could it be that the young master wants a private room?"
From his point of view, Pei Shao doesn't look like someone from the private room, even though he has an extraordinary temperament.
Pei Shao paused for a moment, and said the name of County Magistrate Lu, after all, he was invited by the other party.
The county magistrate of Lu naturally ordered the shopkeeper and Mr. Erwanyi to come here and take him directly to the private room he reserved, but the scholar in front of him was too young, and Xiao Er had never seen such a young man in his life. Master Juren, after all, to him, it was just a character in the storybook, so he doubted its authenticity for a while.
"My lord, did you remember it wrong? Or did you go to the wrong place?" After all, this person really didn't look like the person the county magistrate wanted to entertain. He thought that the master must be good-looking, with upright facial features, and dressed in brocade clothes. Satin is majestic.In any case, it shouldn't be like the person in front of him.
"Did you go to the wrong place?" Jiang Li was speechless.Originally, he didn't want the scholar to come, if the county magistrate hadn't mentioned them many times, he wouldn't have come.
Jiang Li is a snake, and he has no respect for officials from the people at all, not to mention that he can kill each other unconsciously as long as he wants to, and he is not afraid of revenge.
The Xiaoer didn't expect such a beautiful woman in front of him to speak so vulgarly, but she was indeed frightened by the woman's fierce tone.
Pei Shao didn't expect that Xiao Er would not believe it, he was somewhat impatient.
Because of the conversation between general Cai Mo Jianan and his party and Pei Shao, many people's attention was focused.Seeing this situation, everyone also believed that Pei and Shao probably wanted to come over for a meal, and most of the people sitting in the lobby were scholars, and for a while they revealed an attitude of being ashamed of him.
"Brother, I didn't expect that there would be a poor scholar in broad daylight who wanted to come over to eat the Overlord's meal?"
The person sitting opposite him also nodded: "This Zhuangyuan restaurant is the best restaurant in our county, and the price is extremely expensive. The average person really doesn't know how much money they have to save to come here once."
"Besides, there are thugs in the restaurant, I don't know what this person thinks, tsk tsk."
The silk and satin that these two people both wore should be of good family background.
Pei Shao didn't expect that County Magistrate Lu didn't communicate well with this side at all, so he tried his best to patiently say: "Second brother, maybe you go to ask for instructions first, and then you will know whether what I say is true or not."
However, the more Xiaoer looked at him, the more suspicious he became, and he didn't listen to Pei Shao's words at all.Because just now Mo Jianan asked them to hurry up to the meal in the county magistrate's private room. In this case, Mo Jianan has no reason not to know Master Juren, but judging from his attitude towards this young scholar, it is clear that he does not know him.Not only did they not know each other, but they even seemed to have a bad relationship.
Pei Shaoben also took advantage of Xiao Snake's good condition for the past two days before agreeing, and immediately became cold and lost his patience.
"If my lord asks, I'll talk about it next time, and I'll take my leave now." Pei Shao shook his sleeves and completely lost his mood.
In Jiang Li's eyes, these people are bullying his man. He hates others to say that the scholar is not good, but he can't just change the prototype in broad daylight, so he can only grit his teeth and think about how to get revenge on this man. Several people.
He glanced fiercely at Xiaoer and the scholars in the restaurant who were mocking Pei Shao, secretly remembering the faces of these people.Hmph, when it gets dark, he will catch a few poisonous snakes and put them in these people's rooms.
Pei Shao couldn't understand the little snake's state, but he really didn't care, but after going through this situation, he would have a reason to reject the magistrate Lu next time. He actually didn't like this kind of meaningless entertainment, teasing him at home Aren't the little snakes and babies fragrant?
He grabbed Jiang Li's waist and planned to go out with others, thinking that he had to educate his snake demon when he returned home. After all, he was not alone now, so he couldn't act rashly.
When Pei Shao was about to step out of the restaurant, a deep voice suddenly came from behind: "Pei Jieyuan!"
Seeing that Pei Shao was about to leave the restaurant, County Magistrate Lu in casual clothes stopped him anxiously, and then strode down from the second floor towards the door after speaking.
Panting slightly, he said: "Pei Jieyuan, why did you leave?" in a tone full of doubts.
After finishing speaking, he said to Xiaoer beside him: "Why didn't you stop him? You just watched him leave?" His words were full of blame.
Seeing the county magistrate actually talking to him, Xiao Er was stunned, a little timid.
But when he heard Magistrate Lu's words, he was already dumbfounded. He wiped his eyes. He didn't expect that the handsome young scholar in front of him was really a master of Juren?
He broke out in a cold sweat, and naturally understood the impact of his actions just now.Xiao Er's brain was running rapidly, and only then did he find the person responsible.
"My lord, Master Cai Mo asked the younger one to drive out Master Juren. The younger one was blind and didn't recognize Master Juren." As he spoke, he immediately caught up with Pei Shao and held him tightly. And the look just now.
"Master Juren, it was the little one who didn't know how to be flattering and bumped into him just now. You come in with the little one." Xiao Er cried sadly, and scolded Mo Jian'an many times in his heart. If the county magistrate blamed him, he would definitely Was resigned by the shopkeeper.
Thinking of this, he pulled even tighter.
Pei Shao hated anyone except Jiang Li for having physical contact with him, but before he shook off, the little snake next to him erupted first.
Jiang Li looked at Xiao Er's plain and even rough face, and she was so disgusted that she dared to pull a scholar with this appearance.He forcefully removed Xiao Er's hand, and pulled Pei Shao two steps away.
He even wanted to kick this man.
Jiang Li glared at Xiao Er, then took Pei Shao's sleeve that Xiao Er had touched just now, and patted it vigorously.He doesn't like to leave other people's smell on the scholar.
"No need, I would like to thank the county magistrate for your kind hospitality, but I have lost my appetite today, so I will leave first." Pei Shao replied without expression, but he did not say anything serious, after all, it is not Lu County. Ling's problem is that he is really a bit off-putting.
County magistrate Lu still doesn't know what happened, but he probably understands that the waiter in the restaurant didn't recognize Pei Shao as the person he wanted to invite, and kicked him out instead, and it sounded like Mo Jianan ordered him ?
County magistrate Lu only thought it was Pei Shao's angry words. It's normal for a scholar to be a little arrogant, and he absolutely can't really let him go today.
"Pei Jieyuan, I didn't expect such a mess to appear, but I will definitely deal with it and give you an explanation. The food is still hot, so Pei Jieyuan calmed down." These words were already extremely serious for Lu County Magistrate. He gave in because of his official position, after all, he really doesn't need to be so submissive to others.
Pei Shao also knew that he would refuse if he didn't seem to be good, and the little snake would not want to go to him in vain, so he reluctantly nodded.
County Magistrate Lu gave Xiaoer an annoyed look, as if he wanted to vent his anger on Pei Shao, and said, "I will have a good talk with your shopkeeper later."
The magistrate of Lu County was so dignified that Xiao Er was so scared that he almost knelt down. He regretted why General Cai didn't listen to Pei Shao's words and went up to ask carefully, so he collapsed to the side in despondency.
The other people in the lobby who witnessed this scene fell silent, and the noisy lobby suddenly became quiet, and even blocked their faces with their wide sleeves, lest Pei Shao remember their mocking whispers just now.
If they were shocked to have the opportunity to see the county magistrate here today, then Pei Shao's identity simply shocked them. After all, they didn't expect such a young scholar to be a newcomer. Xie Yuan, besides, even the county magistrate was respectful and polite to him just now.But it's true, after all, a young Xie Yuan's future is naturally much bigger than a small county magistrate.
Pei Shao took Jiang Li and went upstairs with Magistrate Lu.County Magistrate Lu naturally remembered that Pei Shao had just got married some time ago, and the person next to him was probably his wife, so he praised and wished him a few more words, and kept observing Pei Shao's expression. In fact, Pei Shao had a far higher status in his eyes It's not as simple as juren. After all, if nothing else is said, relying on the other party's superb handwriting, he will definitely be able to break through the world. It's just a matter of time.
Pei Shao's expression softened a lot after hearing magistrate Lu's good words about Jiang Li. He knew Xiao Snake, and he probably knew that the other party was probably happy.
He guessed right, Jiang Li heard the words of County Magistrate Lu and knew that the scholar had officially introduced him in front of others. Don't mention how excited he was, after all, he remembered that the scholar in his previous life always declared that he was just his book boy. , How could anyone admit him like this.
But this time is completely different from the previous life, he already has Pei Shao's cub in his stomach, no matter what you say, even if the scholars get tired of him, they will never abandon their baby.
But from the looks of it now, the scholar seemed to treat him much better. Thinking of this, Jiang Li held Pei Shao's hand tightly again.
Mo Jian'an knew that County Magistrate Lu had gone downstairs to wait for Master Juren, so he took Mo Xiaoyu and sat on a chair upright, and arranged the dishes. As for Du Xiu, he was just an accountant, which was nothing to Mo Jian'an. He is just a coolie carrying things, not even qualified to sit on the seat, so he can only stand aside and serve.
But Du Xiu didn't mind at all. After all, with his status, how could he know the master Juren in normal times, let alone let him just stand aside, even if he was kneeling, he would have no complaints. With this big tree, it will be more beautiful in the future than it is now.
Du Xiu couldn't help but think of Pei Shao who was stopped downstairs just now. He probably could only live with a village shrew for the rest of his life. He was a little proud of seeing such a noble person's clothes.
When Mo Jian'an heard movement at the door, he immediately pulled Mo Xiaoyu to signal him to stand up and welcome the two adults.
When seeing Magistrate Lu enter the door, all three of them showed polite smiles, but when they saw the two people coming in behind, they were all dumbfounded.
Du Xiu stared intently at Pei Shao, who just made an ugly mess downstairs. He didn't know why he appeared here. Could it be that the county magistrate brought him in because he saw his pity.
The three of them tried to look back again, thinking that today's protagonist should still be behind, but seeing Magistrate Lu close the door, the three of them were a little puzzled.
Mo Jian'an took the lead and asked cautiously, "Lord County Magistrate, where is Mr. Xie Yuan?" His eyes were not on Pei Shao at all.Maybe he had some guesses in his heart at the moment, but his rationality would not allow him to admit it.
County magistrate Lu became angry when he saw this man's behavior. It was Mo Jian'an who was licking his face and wanted to stay, but now he offended Pei Shao.
So he said with a cold face: "Isn't Pei Jieyuan right in front of you?" After speaking, he led Pei Shao and Jiang Li to sit down.
Obviously those three people were standing, and they were supposed to be in a condescending position, but their aura was completely inferior to those who were sitting down.
Mo Jian'an was silent for a moment, first digesting the fact that he had always thought that the poor scholar was Jie Yuan, and then remembering Jiang Cai's performance downstairs, he couldn't help trembling.
However, as a businessman, he still has a cheeky face. Mo Jianan forced a smile on his face: "Pei Jieyuan is really young and promising. I'm really sorry that I didn't recognize him because of his dim eyesight."
Pei Shao didn't have a good opinion of the Mo family, but he didn't feel like he was in the mood to deal with it, so he didn't hum.
County Magistrate Lu could see that Pei Shao was still angry, and wanted to make Mo Jian'an softer, after all, the other party gave him a lot of gifts every year, but the little girl next to Mo Jian'an, who seemed to be well-behaved, murmured in disbelief. He said: "How is it possible? He obviously only worked at the dock not long ago, so why did he become a master?"
What he said was really stupid. Magistrate Lu frowned. He knew that no man would tolerate outsiders talking about his past experience in public. Discipline your daughter and let her talk nonsense.
Mo Jian'an didn't expect that his daughter, who is usually bright and bright, would be acting stupid here, and her mind was muddled with worry.
And Du Xiu who was at the side didn't dare to speak. He was shocked at first, then jealous, but finally he lowered his head, realizing how ridiculous every time he intentionally humiliated Pei Shao.
Just relying on him, why should he be superior in front of the master Juren.
County magistrate Lu understood that today's meal might not be used together, and Mo Xiaoyu's words made him lose the last leeway for relaxation.He still knew what was more important, so he said to Mo Jian'an, "Forget it, don't worry about it today, you'd better leave this morning so as not to upset Master Juren." Not polite at all.
Mo Jian'an had no choice but to wipe the sweat off his forehead, and hurriedly dragged Mo Xiaoyu out of the private room.As for County Magistrate Lu's words that he doesn't bother him, he naturally can't listen to them. If he still wants to do business in this county, he must not offend the parents and officials here, so he can only accept his fate and accept the invitation of Magistrate Lu today. The meal money, even though it can't save much.
But thinking of the relationship between Mo Xiaoyu and Master Xie Yuan, Mo Jianan felt that there was nothing he could do. Now that their stiff situation could be taken over by him and Mo Xiaoyu would be taken out, in case the two of them really got things done, He didn't believe that Pei Shao would still hate him as an old man.
Only when he mentioned this matter to Mo Xiaoyu, the other party just shook his head with a pale face, did he know that Pei Shao had recently married.
Of course, Jiang Li was the happiest after this pedestrian left. He seemed to notice that Mo Xiaoyu seemed to hate Pei Shao, but he also had other feelings, so he felt a sense of crisis.But it's better now, it is estimated that after today, Pei Shao will never have anything to do with this woman again.
From this day on, Mo Xiaoyu would dream from time to time that Pei Shao was riding a tall horse with a red ribbon on his chest, but the person he was looking at was not her.
But not long after, when the county posted a notice of the candidate, she actually saw this scene.
The county town specially prepared a parade for Pei Shao, who had been rarely seen in the past few decades. Pei Shao sat on a tall horse and paraded from one end of the street to the other. Beside him was a strong man beating gongs and drums, his face flushed red. , is also very excited.The streets are full of people, and the streets are empty.
Pei Shao wore a big red flower on his chest, and a majestic red-maned horse was riding under his feet, but this master Xie Yuan didn't show any excitement on his face.The thoughts in his heart have drifted away, and his eyes are also wandering, looking for someone.
Originally, because Jiang Li was pregnant, he asked her to stay at home so as not to be bumped into, but according to his understanding, he probably couldn't keep the snake away, so he also wanted the other party to be in his sight, so as to at least ensure the other party's safety.
There are too many people watching the excitement on the street, and all kinds of strange faces are everywhere.There are people on the street who fell because of pushing and crowding. It is very shocking to watch.Pei Shao didn't want Jiang Li to come over, otherwise he wouldn't be so easy to take care of even if he saw it.
On the attic, Mo Xiaoyu quietly opened a window, although reason told her that it was impossible for them, after all, she had such a bad attitude towards Pei Shao in the past.But the moment she saw the other party, she still couldn't help being a little moved, and she also inexplicably hoped that Pei Shao would see her.
Suddenly, she noticed that the other party's gaze turned, and Mo Xiaoyu's heart beat faster. She kept guessing in her mind what kind of reaction the other party would have when she saw her.
Until he saw a woman directly below beckoning to Pei Shao, and Pei Shao responded to her with a doting smile.
Mo Xiaoyu took a closer look at the woman, who was the scholar's wife, and her mood darkened. Sure enough, such an attitude could not be towards her.
The people in the county already knew that when Xie Yuan in the township examination fell in their county, they didn't know whether it was to join in the fun or out of pride. Many people went to join in the fun, but it was also because there were too many people, many people didn't see what Master Xie Yuan looked like, they only vaguely knew that he was a young man.
"I heard that Master Xie Yuan is a young man." A certain aunt mentioned it to the people beside her.
"What do you mean by Jie Yuan?" The other aunt obviously didn't know about the imperial examination, but she still asked curiously, after all, she couldn't be behind the trend.
"You don't understand this either? Xie Yuan is No.1, that's it!" As she spoke, she gave her thumbs up and her tone was very excited, as if she had passed Jie Yuan's exam.
But even though her son didn't pass the exam, this aunt is still happy to show off her common sense: "I heard from my son that Master Xie Yuan will definitely be a high-ranking official in the future and can earn a lot of money."
Her son is also studying in the academy, and it is impossible to say that he is in the same academy as this master Xie Yuan. Thinking of this, this old lady feels very proud again.
The others were confused by what she said, but they also knew that this was great, and at the same time they did not forget to praise her son: "Ms. Luo, isn't your son also studying in that academy? Will he also be able to pass the exam as Master Xie Yuan in the future?" , and then become a high official?"
Aunt Luo shook her head embarrassingly, and heard her son say that in their small county town, there might not be one Xie Yuan for decades, but: "Although my son may not be admitted to Jie Yuan, the chance of becoming an official is still high. Little one." I heard from the master that her son has learned his homework well, and he will definitely be able to stand up for a high-ranking official in the future.
Several other people looked at her with envious eyes. Their children did not continue to study and could only start a small business. If they knew it, they should have forced their brats to study more, and they could reconcile if they were not sure. Master Yuan is just as amazing.
"Then Mr. Xie Yuan is so young and hasn't married yet?" Everyone put their minds on this again. They have already done matchmaking for their distant relatives and have experience.Besides, how many of them have daughters who are waiting to be married?
Several women were about to have a heated discussion, happy to have found a way to climb up to the official, but they were interrupted by a young lady the next moment.
"He already has a wife, and his belly is so big!" Jiang Li gestured at her round belly, trying to dispel their thoughts.
He was just waiting for the scholar at the entrance of the pastry shop, and he walked over following the voices of these aunts discussing, with his mouth pursed and unhappy.In the past few days, he has always heard talk about scholars, which is completely different from his previous life. If he hears that he wants to be a matchmaker for Pei Shao again, he will probably be able to directly give birth to the snake cub on the spot.
The few people glanced at him and continued to discuss: "It's okay, you can still take concubines if you have a wife. My wife can just find a beautiful little beauty to accompany her during pregnancy. My sister's family has a beautiful girl."
"He doesn't take concubines." Seeing that the little snake was about to argue with them with his arms akimbo, Pei Shao quickly came out with the pastries and hugged Jiang Li, and led them away with just one sentence.
Those few people haven't reacted yet, but they haven't seen Master Yuan's appearance before, and they think this man is really interesting, so they retort habitually: "How do you know..."
Pei Shao had already taken Jiangli far away, and the little snake was emotionally unstable as it was approaching the delivery period. He was worried that if he didn't show up in time, the little snake would probably be angry again. Obviously, a few words of saliva would not affect them at all. .
"Hey, I bought the cakes that Ah Li wants to eat." As he spoke, Pei Shao held the fragrant and soft pastries in front of Jiang Li, trying to make him happy.
Jiang Li hugged her stomach and shook her head and refused to eat, still thinking about what those aunts said just now.
Speaking of which, in order to be able to give birth safely, they have not been intimate for a long time, and the usual scholar has no intention of desire or dissatisfaction at all.Perhaps the scholar really wants to find a little beauty to accompany him, but he may not be sure, or has he secretly found someone to accompany him?Otherwise, why didn't he show it at all without asking for it for so long, he must have eaten it secretly!
"Hmph, did you keep a foreign room outside?" Jiang Li asked angrily, this man hid it so well that he didn't even find out.
Thinking about it, Jiang Li moved closer to Pei Shao and sniffed it again. He has a very sensitive sense of smell, so he must be able to smell whether this person smells like someone else.
It's just that he sniffed for a long time and didn't find any clues.
This bad man must have bathed secretly!
Pei Shao looked at the little snake wronging himself indiscriminately, and pinched his cheek: "I just learned a new word and used it indiscriminately. When have I ever left you? It's like putting you stupid snake in my pocket every day." , are you looking at me looking for someone else?"
Jiang Li thought about it carefully, and felt that what she said seemed to make sense, but then she became angry and said, "You called me a stupid snake again!"
Pei Shao could scold the stupid snake who was going to coil around him at that moment, but he couldn't scold Jiang Li!
Pei Shao patted his head amusedly: "It's really a foolish three years." However, he felt that it would be very leisurely to bicker with the little snake every now and then.
Perhaps it was because he knew that Xiao Snake was reborn, and he felt that the world was quite leisurely. At least Xiao Snake did not often feel sad because of misunderstandings.Thinking about it this way, in the first two worlds, Ali was really wronged.
He opened the pastry and decided to plug Jiangli's mouth with food. Now Ali has gradually fallen in love with human food, and sweets can also be delicious.
Pei Shao picked up a small piece and put it near his mouth. Seeing that the little snake was pursing his lips and still losing his temper, he said, "If you don't eat, then I won't feed you."
This snake monster is really used to it.
Jiang Li snorted, and opened her mouth resignedly, the pastry melted instantly in his mouth, Jiang Li was filled with the joy of sweets, she lost her temper for a moment, and leaned on Pei Shao's shoulder heartlessly: "Hey delicious."
He looked at Pei Shao with bright eyes, and felt that the scholar was too much, and now he was completely drowned in his tenderness, and he didn't want to move anything, and wanted the scholar to take care of everything, this limp look How can they look like their brave and warlike snake clan?
However, he is willing to become a little waste~
Although the news in the village is not well-informed, many villagers often go to the county town to buy some snacks, and occasionally satisfy their children's appetite.Sometimes I would also listen to what is popular in the county and bring it back to the village so that I can have something to talk about.
Not many villagers in the county heard that the original Pei Xiucai in their village had actually been admitted to Juren, so they couldn't help but immediately reported the news to the village newspaper.
When Niu Zhizhi heard the news, she was so shocked that she even dropped the ax in her hand.Since Du Xiu was bitten by a snake last time, she has never been back to the village, and her thoughts have come to nothing.
Recently, her life is also very bad. She often has to go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables to eat, because her gangster brother is addicted to gambling, and he has lost everything in the house.
She used to have some market in the village, but because of her gambler brother, no one cares about her now. After all, no one can help that there is an uncle who keeps gambling with the things at home.
Normally, she would go to Pei Shao's house to get some things, but the key point is that she didn't know why Pei Shao from the village also moved away. She didn't care about the other party's life and death, but one day she would hear news about him.
"It's impossible, just relying on that trash can pass the exam?" Niu Zhizhi didn't quite believe it.
But looking at the other party's serious expression, he hurriedly asked again: "You really didn't lie to me?"
"Believe it or not." The man was also a little annoyed, and left behind.
Niu Zhizhi was stunned in place, thinking many things in her mind.Master Juren must be much better than Brother Du Xiu's accountant, no, Niu Zhizhi doesn't seem to like Du Xiu that much anymore.
She murmured: "Pei Shao seemed to like me in the past..." If I knew she would have supported him well, wouldn't she be Juren's wife now?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she could not give up this opportunity. Niu Zhizhi entered the city and decided to confess to Pei Shao what she had done in the past.
She pondered what she should say in front of Pei Shao's mansion, while lamenting the grandeur of this mansion.
But in just a moment, someone came out, it was a very good-looking woman with a bulging belly.Although Niu Zhizhi is narcissistic, she is not sick, so she naturally knows that the other party is much prettier than herself, and she even looks a little jealous when she looks at this face.
However, could this person be Pei Shao's wife?
Niu Zhizhi was reluctant to admit this fact, but the next moment she saw the former scholar following up, at this moment she
Mo Jian'an was two steps ahead of them. Although the status of a merchant was not considered noble in this dynasty, no one knew that the Mo family in the county was rich, so as soon as he came in and proposed his purpose, Xiaoer took him to the county magistrate's house. In the private room, of course at the same time, he didn't want to make himself look too deliberate, so he booked another private room so that he could pretend to meet Magistrate Lu by chance.
Magistrate Lu did not expect to run into Mo Jianan here, but the other party was quite honest and would visit him during the holidays, so Magistrate Lu's attitude towards him was not so indifferent.
Mo Jian'an first pretended to be very surprised, then bowed his bow before looking into the private room, and asked, "Who did the county magistrate invite to come to the Zhuangyuan restaurant today?"
Of course he knew in his heart that he was the new Master Juren, but he didn't expect to see him, otherwise he could have asked the other party's identity logically.
There is nothing to hide about this, County Magistrate Lu thought for a while and replied: "This year's township examination Xie Yuan came from our small county town, so I invited Xie Yuan to a banquet today."
Hearing his words, Mo Jian'an was a bit surprised. He knew he was a Juren, but he never thought that he was actually a Jieyuan.Xie Yuan in the provincial capital was basically able to pass the Jinshi relatively steadily when he took part in the general examination. He was a student of the Son of Heaven and was extremely honorable.
At that time, no matter what, he will be an existence that he can't wait to climb.
Mo Jian'an felt that he couldn't let go of this opportunity no matter what, so he didn't leave cheekily, and kept chatting with Magistrate Lu one after another.After all, his ambition is not only to be a businessman in this small county town, if he really climbs up a high branch in the future, he can transfer to the capital at that time, and he may even have a chance to become an imperial businessman.
Thinking of this possibility, Mo Jianan felt a little hopeful and yearning.
County magistrate Lu also saw that the other party wanted to get acquainted, and he was not such a stingy person, so he went with Mo Jianan.
"Today, let the grass-roots people come to invite adults to reconcile Master Xie Yuan. After all, it is so rare to meet adults in a restaurant by chance." Mo Jianan said without blushing.
However, the cost of this restaurant is not small, if you want to order more than a dozen dishes decently, you must spend hundreds of taels of silver.Although this is not impossible for the county magistrate, it is a little expensive after all, and he should be very happy with his proposal.
County Magistrate Lu really thought the same way. Originally, his salary was not much, and his family's assets were gradually saved. Naturally, he felt a little distressed, and he didn't say anything as a tacit consent.
Mo Jian'an saw that Xiao Ercai was not ready yet, so he smiled and said to County Magistrate Lu, "How about I remind you?"
Magistrate Lu guessed that Pei Shao would be coming soon, so he nodded in agreement.
As soon as he left the private room and walked to the stairs, Mo Jian'an heard a familiar voice, which seemed to be arguing.
He looked down, and saw that the person speaking was Du Xiu, the accountant he had hired, and Mo Xiaoyu was standing beside him.Mo Jian'an just remembered the two people, and wondered why Xiao Yu came here, so he went downstairs in a hurry, trying to urge the other party to go upstairs to build a good relationship with the county magistrate.
When he got closer, he realized that there were two people standing opposite Du Xiu. One of them he remembered after looking at it for a long time. It turned out to be the handsome poor scholar he saw in his shop that day. It's just good looks, and I hope Mo Xiaoyu will stay away from him, but I didn't expect Mo Xiaoyu to have contact with him.
For the time being, he didn't think about why this poor scholar could come into this Zhuangyuan restaurant. After all, there are more important people waiting for them now, and the most urgent thing is to take Mo Xiaoyu away as soon as possible.
Mo Xiaoyu had just entered the restaurant and planned to go upstairs to find her father according to Xiaoer's prompt, but she didn't expect to see the person she just saw walking in after just standing there for a while, so she stopped for a while. So anxious, she wanted to see what the other party wanted to do.
Could it be that seeing them come in made me want to come in too?
Of course, Du Xiu was even more surprised. He despised Pei Shao in his heart when he saw Pei Shao holding candied haws in his hand, and walked into the restaurant arrogantly under the other party's gaze. Who would have thought that the other party would also come in behind him? .
The biggest guess in his mind was that Pei Shao might not know the consumption level in this No. [-] restaurant, so he rashly brought the newlyweds here to save face.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, so Du Xiu felt that he should tell the other party kindly. Of course, his original purpose was to make Pei Shao look ugly in front of everyone, especially if his newlywed wife also knew that the other party wanted to slap her face to make up for it. What would the fat man think of him?Du Xiu would like to see how even Jiang Li dislikes him.
And he felt very uncomfortable seeing Jiang Li protecting Pei Shao. How could someone like Pei Shao deserve someone to look towards him.
"Do you know what this place is?" Du Xiugang asked maliciously.
At this time, Mo Jian'an had already gone downstairs and approached. He didn't want his daughter to waste her words on this poor scholar, so he interrupted Du Xiu's words.
"Why did you come here? Go up quickly." Mo Jianan frowned and said to Mo Xiaoyu.
Mo Xiaoyu had watched Du Xiu intentionally humiliate Pei Shao, and looked on inexplicably, but he didn't expect his father to come down and interrupt them at this time, and felt a little unwilling.
"Understood." Mo Xiaoyu replied obediently, and stood behind Mo Jianan.
Seeing that it was Mo Jian'an, Du Xiu naturally didn't dare to say any more, so he regretted not being able to personally humiliate Pei Shao today.
"Xiao Er, hurry up to bring the food and drinks in the magistrate's room, or you will offend the distinguished guests and you are the only one to ask." He tilted his head and said to Xiao Er, and after speaking, he planned to take the two of them upstairs.
Mo Jian'an didn't take Pei Shao seriously, he just glanced at the young man, but worried that Mo Xiaoyu would be obsessed with him because of his skin, he paused, then stopped and said to Xiao Er: "This The scholar must have gone to the wrong place, Xiaoer, show some winks, don’t welcome everyone, or you may let some people with poor wallets come in.” After finishing speaking, he went upstairs again.
Mo Xiaoyu didn't expect that her father would take the initiative to help her vent her anger, and she showed a shallow smile proudly. She just glanced at Pei Shao and his village woman, then raised the corner of her skirt and followed her father's pace. Good-looking is just a village woman who doesn't know people clearly.
Xiao Er naturally knew Mo Jian'an, after all, the other party had been to his restaurant many times, and what the other party said had some influence on him.
Xiao Er took a look at Pei Shao, but he didn't have a bad attitude immediately, but he wasn't enthusiastic either.He has been here for a long time, and he knows some skills to judge people. From the clothes of these two people, it can be seen that they are not rich and powerful, but it is not impossible to spend some money in the lobby.
So I just asked, "My lord, do you use it in the lobby?" The location in the lobby is not private enough, and it is very noisy, but the price is much more affordable than the private room, usually a dozen taels of silver is almost the same, and it is the choice of ordinary wealthy families. .
As soon as Pei Shao shook his head, Xiaoer asked in surprise, "Could it be that the young master wants a private room?"
From his point of view, Pei Shao doesn't look like someone from the private room, even though he has an extraordinary temperament.
Pei Shao paused for a moment, and said the name of County Magistrate Lu, after all, he was invited by the other party.
The county magistrate of Lu naturally ordered the shopkeeper and Mr. Erwanyi to come here and take him directly to the private room he reserved, but the scholar in front of him was too young, and Xiao Er had never seen such a young man in his life. Master Juren, after all, to him, it was just a character in the storybook, so he doubted its authenticity for a while.
"My lord, did you remember it wrong? Or did you go to the wrong place?" After all, this person really didn't look like the person the county magistrate wanted to entertain. He thought that the master must be good-looking, with upright facial features, and dressed in brocade clothes. Satin is majestic.In any case, it shouldn't be like the person in front of him.
"Did you go to the wrong place?" Jiang Li was speechless.Originally, he didn't want the scholar to come, if the county magistrate hadn't mentioned them many times, he wouldn't have come.
Jiang Li is a snake, and he has no respect for officials from the people at all, not to mention that he can kill each other unconsciously as long as he wants to, and he is not afraid of revenge.
The Xiaoer didn't expect such a beautiful woman in front of him to speak so vulgarly, but she was indeed frightened by the woman's fierce tone.
Pei Shao didn't expect that Xiao Er would not believe it, he was somewhat impatient.
Because of the conversation between general Cai Mo Jianan and his party and Pei Shao, many people's attention was focused.Seeing this situation, everyone also believed that Pei and Shao probably wanted to come over for a meal, and most of the people sitting in the lobby were scholars, and for a while they revealed an attitude of being ashamed of him.
"Brother, I didn't expect that there would be a poor scholar in broad daylight who wanted to come over to eat the Overlord's meal?"
The person sitting opposite him also nodded: "This Zhuangyuan restaurant is the best restaurant in our county, and the price is extremely expensive. The average person really doesn't know how much money they have to save to come here once."
"Besides, there are thugs in the restaurant, I don't know what this person thinks, tsk tsk."
The silk and satin that these two people both wore should be of good family background.
Pei Shao didn't expect that County Magistrate Lu didn't communicate well with this side at all, so he tried his best to patiently say: "Second brother, maybe you go to ask for instructions first, and then you will know whether what I say is true or not."
However, the more Xiaoer looked at him, the more suspicious he became, and he didn't listen to Pei Shao's words at all.Because just now Mo Jianan asked them to hurry up to the meal in the county magistrate's private room. In this case, Mo Jianan has no reason not to know Master Juren, but judging from his attitude towards this young scholar, it is clear that he does not know him.Not only did they not know each other, but they even seemed to have a bad relationship.
Pei Shaoben also took advantage of Xiao Snake's good condition for the past two days before agreeing, and immediately became cold and lost his patience.
"If my lord asks, I'll talk about it next time, and I'll take my leave now." Pei Shao shook his sleeves and completely lost his mood.
In Jiang Li's eyes, these people are bullying his man. He hates others to say that the scholar is not good, but he can't just change the prototype in broad daylight, so he can only grit his teeth and think about how to get revenge on this man. Several people.
He glanced fiercely at Xiaoer and the scholars in the restaurant who were mocking Pei Shao, secretly remembering the faces of these people.Hmph, when it gets dark, he will catch a few poisonous snakes and put them in these people's rooms.
Pei Shao couldn't understand the little snake's state, but he really didn't care, but after going through this situation, he would have a reason to reject the magistrate Lu next time. He actually didn't like this kind of meaningless entertainment, teasing him at home Aren't the little snakes and babies fragrant?
He grabbed Jiang Li's waist and planned to go out with others, thinking that he had to educate his snake demon when he returned home. After all, he was not alone now, so he couldn't act rashly.
When Pei Shao was about to step out of the restaurant, a deep voice suddenly came from behind: "Pei Jieyuan!"
Seeing that Pei Shao was about to leave the restaurant, County Magistrate Lu in casual clothes stopped him anxiously, and then strode down from the second floor towards the door after speaking.
Panting slightly, he said: "Pei Jieyuan, why did you leave?" in a tone full of doubts.
After finishing speaking, he said to Xiaoer beside him: "Why didn't you stop him? You just watched him leave?" His words were full of blame.
Seeing the county magistrate actually talking to him, Xiao Er was stunned, a little timid.
But when he heard Magistrate Lu's words, he was already dumbfounded. He wiped his eyes. He didn't expect that the handsome young scholar in front of him was really a master of Juren?
He broke out in a cold sweat, and naturally understood the impact of his actions just now.Xiao Er's brain was running rapidly, and only then did he find the person responsible.
"My lord, Master Cai Mo asked the younger one to drive out Master Juren. The younger one was blind and didn't recognize Master Juren." As he spoke, he immediately caught up with Pei Shao and held him tightly. And the look just now.
"Master Juren, it was the little one who didn't know how to be flattering and bumped into him just now. You come in with the little one." Xiao Er cried sadly, and scolded Mo Jian'an many times in his heart. If the county magistrate blamed him, he would definitely Was resigned by the shopkeeper.
Thinking of this, he pulled even tighter.
Pei Shao hated anyone except Jiang Li for having physical contact with him, but before he shook off, the little snake next to him erupted first.
Jiang Li looked at Xiao Er's plain and even rough face, and she was so disgusted that she dared to pull a scholar with this appearance.He forcefully removed Xiao Er's hand, and pulled Pei Shao two steps away.
He even wanted to kick this man.
Jiang Li glared at Xiao Er, then took Pei Shao's sleeve that Xiao Er had touched just now, and patted it vigorously.He doesn't like to leave other people's smell on the scholar.
"No need, I would like to thank the county magistrate for your kind hospitality, but I have lost my appetite today, so I will leave first." Pei Shao replied without expression, but he did not say anything serious, after all, it is not Lu County. Ling's problem is that he is really a bit off-putting.
County magistrate Lu still doesn't know what happened, but he probably understands that the waiter in the restaurant didn't recognize Pei Shao as the person he wanted to invite, and kicked him out instead, and it sounded like Mo Jianan ordered him ?
County magistrate Lu only thought it was Pei Shao's angry words. It's normal for a scholar to be a little arrogant, and he absolutely can't really let him go today.
"Pei Jieyuan, I didn't expect such a mess to appear, but I will definitely deal with it and give you an explanation. The food is still hot, so Pei Jieyuan calmed down." These words were already extremely serious for Lu County Magistrate. He gave in because of his official position, after all, he really doesn't need to be so submissive to others.
Pei Shao also knew that he would refuse if he didn't seem to be good, and the little snake would not want to go to him in vain, so he reluctantly nodded.
County Magistrate Lu gave Xiaoer an annoyed look, as if he wanted to vent his anger on Pei Shao, and said, "I will have a good talk with your shopkeeper later."
The magistrate of Lu County was so dignified that Xiao Er was so scared that he almost knelt down. He regretted why General Cai didn't listen to Pei Shao's words and went up to ask carefully, so he collapsed to the side in despondency.
The other people in the lobby who witnessed this scene fell silent, and the noisy lobby suddenly became quiet, and even blocked their faces with their wide sleeves, lest Pei Shao remember their mocking whispers just now.
If they were shocked to have the opportunity to see the county magistrate here today, then Pei Shao's identity simply shocked them. After all, they didn't expect such a young scholar to be a newcomer. Xie Yuan, besides, even the county magistrate was respectful and polite to him just now.But it's true, after all, a young Xie Yuan's future is naturally much bigger than a small county magistrate.
Pei Shao took Jiang Li and went upstairs with Magistrate Lu.County Magistrate Lu naturally remembered that Pei Shao had just got married some time ago, and the person next to him was probably his wife, so he praised and wished him a few more words, and kept observing Pei Shao's expression. In fact, Pei Shao had a far higher status in his eyes It's not as simple as juren. After all, if nothing else is said, relying on the other party's superb handwriting, he will definitely be able to break through the world. It's just a matter of time.
Pei Shao's expression softened a lot after hearing magistrate Lu's good words about Jiang Li. He knew Xiao Snake, and he probably knew that the other party was probably happy.
He guessed right, Jiang Li heard the words of County Magistrate Lu and knew that the scholar had officially introduced him in front of others. Don't mention how excited he was, after all, he remembered that the scholar in his previous life always declared that he was just his book boy. , How could anyone admit him like this.
But this time is completely different from the previous life, he already has Pei Shao's cub in his stomach, no matter what you say, even if the scholars get tired of him, they will never abandon their baby.
But from the looks of it now, the scholar seemed to treat him much better. Thinking of this, Jiang Li held Pei Shao's hand tightly again.
Mo Jian'an knew that County Magistrate Lu had gone downstairs to wait for Master Juren, so he took Mo Xiaoyu and sat on a chair upright, and arranged the dishes. As for Du Xiu, he was just an accountant, which was nothing to Mo Jian'an. He is just a coolie carrying things, not even qualified to sit on the seat, so he can only stand aside and serve.
But Du Xiu didn't mind at all. After all, with his status, how could he know the master Juren in normal times, let alone let him just stand aside, even if he was kneeling, he would have no complaints. With this big tree, it will be more beautiful in the future than it is now.
Du Xiu couldn't help but think of Pei Shao who was stopped downstairs just now. He probably could only live with a village shrew for the rest of his life. He was a little proud of seeing such a noble person's clothes.
When Mo Jian'an heard movement at the door, he immediately pulled Mo Xiaoyu to signal him to stand up and welcome the two adults.
When seeing Magistrate Lu enter the door, all three of them showed polite smiles, but when they saw the two people coming in behind, they were all dumbfounded.
Du Xiu stared intently at Pei Shao, who just made an ugly mess downstairs. He didn't know why he appeared here. Could it be that the county magistrate brought him in because he saw his pity.
The three of them tried to look back again, thinking that today's protagonist should still be behind, but seeing Magistrate Lu close the door, the three of them were a little puzzled.
Mo Jian'an took the lead and asked cautiously, "Lord County Magistrate, where is Mr. Xie Yuan?" His eyes were not on Pei Shao at all.Maybe he had some guesses in his heart at the moment, but his rationality would not allow him to admit it.
County magistrate Lu became angry when he saw this man's behavior. It was Mo Jian'an who was licking his face and wanted to stay, but now he offended Pei Shao.
So he said with a cold face: "Isn't Pei Jieyuan right in front of you?" After speaking, he led Pei Shao and Jiang Li to sit down.
Obviously those three people were standing, and they were supposed to be in a condescending position, but their aura was completely inferior to those who were sitting down.
Mo Jian'an was silent for a moment, first digesting the fact that he had always thought that the poor scholar was Jie Yuan, and then remembering Jiang Cai's performance downstairs, he couldn't help trembling.
However, as a businessman, he still has a cheeky face. Mo Jianan forced a smile on his face: "Pei Jieyuan is really young and promising. I'm really sorry that I didn't recognize him because of his dim eyesight."
Pei Shao didn't have a good opinion of the Mo family, but he didn't feel like he was in the mood to deal with it, so he didn't hum.
County Magistrate Lu could see that Pei Shao was still angry, and wanted to make Mo Jian'an softer, after all, the other party gave him a lot of gifts every year, but the little girl next to Mo Jian'an, who seemed to be well-behaved, murmured in disbelief. He said: "How is it possible? He obviously only worked at the dock not long ago, so why did he become a master?"
What he said was really stupid. Magistrate Lu frowned. He knew that no man would tolerate outsiders talking about his past experience in public. Discipline your daughter and let her talk nonsense.
Mo Jian'an didn't expect that his daughter, who is usually bright and bright, would be acting stupid here, and her mind was muddled with worry.
And Du Xiu who was at the side didn't dare to speak. He was shocked at first, then jealous, but finally he lowered his head, realizing how ridiculous every time he intentionally humiliated Pei Shao.
Just relying on him, why should he be superior in front of the master Juren.
County magistrate Lu understood that today's meal might not be used together, and Mo Xiaoyu's words made him lose the last leeway for relaxation.He still knew what was more important, so he said to Mo Jian'an, "Forget it, don't worry about it today, you'd better leave this morning so as not to upset Master Juren." Not polite at all.
Mo Jian'an had no choice but to wipe the sweat off his forehead, and hurriedly dragged Mo Xiaoyu out of the private room.As for County Magistrate Lu's words that he doesn't bother him, he naturally can't listen to them. If he still wants to do business in this county, he must not offend the parents and officials here, so he can only accept his fate and accept the invitation of Magistrate Lu today. The meal money, even though it can't save much.
But thinking of the relationship between Mo Xiaoyu and Master Xie Yuan, Mo Jianan felt that there was nothing he could do. Now that their stiff situation could be taken over by him and Mo Xiaoyu would be taken out, in case the two of them really got things done, He didn't believe that Pei Shao would still hate him as an old man.
Only when he mentioned this matter to Mo Xiaoyu, the other party just shook his head with a pale face, did he know that Pei Shao had recently married.
Of course, Jiang Li was the happiest after this pedestrian left. He seemed to notice that Mo Xiaoyu seemed to hate Pei Shao, but he also had other feelings, so he felt a sense of crisis.But it's better now, it is estimated that after today, Pei Shao will never have anything to do with this woman again.
From this day on, Mo Xiaoyu would dream from time to time that Pei Shao was riding a tall horse with a red ribbon on his chest, but the person he was looking at was not her.
But not long after, when the county posted a notice of the candidate, she actually saw this scene.
The county town specially prepared a parade for Pei Shao, who had been rarely seen in the past few decades. Pei Shao sat on a tall horse and paraded from one end of the street to the other. Beside him was a strong man beating gongs and drums, his face flushed red. , is also very excited.The streets are full of people, and the streets are empty.
Pei Shao wore a big red flower on his chest, and a majestic red-maned horse was riding under his feet, but this master Xie Yuan didn't show any excitement on his face.The thoughts in his heart have drifted away, and his eyes are also wandering, looking for someone.
Originally, because Jiang Li was pregnant, he asked her to stay at home so as not to be bumped into, but according to his understanding, he probably couldn't keep the snake away, so he also wanted the other party to be in his sight, so as to at least ensure the other party's safety.
There are too many people watching the excitement on the street, and all kinds of strange faces are everywhere.There are people on the street who fell because of pushing and crowding. It is very shocking to watch.Pei Shao didn't want Jiang Li to come over, otherwise he wouldn't be so easy to take care of even if he saw it.
On the attic, Mo Xiaoyu quietly opened a window, although reason told her that it was impossible for them, after all, she had such a bad attitude towards Pei Shao in the past.But the moment she saw the other party, she still couldn't help being a little moved, and she also inexplicably hoped that Pei Shao would see her.
Suddenly, she noticed that the other party's gaze turned, and Mo Xiaoyu's heart beat faster. She kept guessing in her mind what kind of reaction the other party would have when she saw her.
Until he saw a woman directly below beckoning to Pei Shao, and Pei Shao responded to her with a doting smile.
Mo Xiaoyu took a closer look at the woman, who was the scholar's wife, and her mood darkened. Sure enough, such an attitude could not be towards her.
The people in the county already knew that when Xie Yuan in the township examination fell in their county, they didn't know whether it was to join in the fun or out of pride. Many people went to join in the fun, but it was also because there were too many people, many people didn't see what Master Xie Yuan looked like, they only vaguely knew that he was a young man.
"I heard that Master Xie Yuan is a young man." A certain aunt mentioned it to the people beside her.
"What do you mean by Jie Yuan?" The other aunt obviously didn't know about the imperial examination, but she still asked curiously, after all, she couldn't be behind the trend.
"You don't understand this either? Xie Yuan is No.1, that's it!" As she spoke, she gave her thumbs up and her tone was very excited, as if she had passed Jie Yuan's exam.
But even though her son didn't pass the exam, this aunt is still happy to show off her common sense: "I heard from my son that Master Xie Yuan will definitely be a high-ranking official in the future and can earn a lot of money."
Her son is also studying in the academy, and it is impossible to say that he is in the same academy as this master Xie Yuan. Thinking of this, this old lady feels very proud again.
The others were confused by what she said, but they also knew that this was great, and at the same time they did not forget to praise her son: "Ms. Luo, isn't your son also studying in that academy? Will he also be able to pass the exam as Master Xie Yuan in the future?" , and then become a high official?"
Aunt Luo shook her head embarrassingly, and heard her son say that in their small county town, there might not be one Xie Yuan for decades, but: "Although my son may not be admitted to Jie Yuan, the chance of becoming an official is still high. Little one." I heard from the master that her son has learned his homework well, and he will definitely be able to stand up for a high-ranking official in the future.
Several other people looked at her with envious eyes. Their children did not continue to study and could only start a small business. If they knew it, they should have forced their brats to study more, and they could reconcile if they were not sure. Master Yuan is just as amazing.
"Then Mr. Xie Yuan is so young and hasn't married yet?" Everyone put their minds on this again. They have already done matchmaking for their distant relatives and have experience.Besides, how many of them have daughters who are waiting to be married?
Several women were about to have a heated discussion, happy to have found a way to climb up to the official, but they were interrupted by a young lady the next moment.
"He already has a wife, and his belly is so big!" Jiang Li gestured at her round belly, trying to dispel their thoughts.
He was just waiting for the scholar at the entrance of the pastry shop, and he walked over following the voices of these aunts discussing, with his mouth pursed and unhappy.In the past few days, he has always heard talk about scholars, which is completely different from his previous life. If he hears that he wants to be a matchmaker for Pei Shao again, he will probably be able to directly give birth to the snake cub on the spot.
The few people glanced at him and continued to discuss: "It's okay, you can still take concubines if you have a wife. My wife can just find a beautiful little beauty to accompany her during pregnancy. My sister's family has a beautiful girl."
"He doesn't take concubines." Seeing that the little snake was about to argue with them with his arms akimbo, Pei Shao quickly came out with the pastries and hugged Jiang Li, and led them away with just one sentence.
Those few people haven't reacted yet, but they haven't seen Master Yuan's appearance before, and they think this man is really interesting, so they retort habitually: "How do you know..."
Pei Shao had already taken Jiangli far away, and the little snake was emotionally unstable as it was approaching the delivery period. He was worried that if he didn't show up in time, the little snake would probably be angry again. Obviously, a few words of saliva would not affect them at all. .
"Hey, I bought the cakes that Ah Li wants to eat." As he spoke, Pei Shao held the fragrant and soft pastries in front of Jiang Li, trying to make him happy.
Jiang Li hugged her stomach and shook her head and refused to eat, still thinking about what those aunts said just now.
Speaking of which, in order to be able to give birth safely, they have not been intimate for a long time, and the usual scholar has no intention of desire or dissatisfaction at all.Perhaps the scholar really wants to find a little beauty to accompany him, but he may not be sure, or has he secretly found someone to accompany him?Otherwise, why didn't he show it at all without asking for it for so long, he must have eaten it secretly!
"Hmph, did you keep a foreign room outside?" Jiang Li asked angrily, this man hid it so well that he didn't even find out.
Thinking about it, Jiang Li moved closer to Pei Shao and sniffed it again. He has a very sensitive sense of smell, so he must be able to smell whether this person smells like someone else.
It's just that he sniffed for a long time and didn't find any clues.
This bad man must have bathed secretly!
Pei Shao looked at the little snake wronging himself indiscriminately, and pinched his cheek: "I just learned a new word and used it indiscriminately. When have I ever left you? It's like putting you stupid snake in my pocket every day." , are you looking at me looking for someone else?"
Jiang Li thought about it carefully, and felt that what she said seemed to make sense, but then she became angry and said, "You called me a stupid snake again!"
Pei Shao could scold the stupid snake who was going to coil around him at that moment, but he couldn't scold Jiang Li!
Pei Shao patted his head amusedly: "It's really a foolish three years." However, he felt that it would be very leisurely to bicker with the little snake every now and then.
Perhaps it was because he knew that Xiao Snake was reborn, and he felt that the world was quite leisurely. At least Xiao Snake did not often feel sad because of misunderstandings.Thinking about it this way, in the first two worlds, Ali was really wronged.
He opened the pastry and decided to plug Jiangli's mouth with food. Now Ali has gradually fallen in love with human food, and sweets can also be delicious.
Pei Shao picked up a small piece and put it near his mouth. Seeing that the little snake was pursing his lips and still losing his temper, he said, "If you don't eat, then I won't feed you."
This snake monster is really used to it.
Jiang Li snorted, and opened her mouth resignedly, the pastry melted instantly in his mouth, Jiang Li was filled with the joy of sweets, she lost her temper for a moment, and leaned on Pei Shao's shoulder heartlessly: "Hey delicious."
He looked at Pei Shao with bright eyes, and felt that the scholar was too much, and now he was completely drowned in his tenderness, and he didn't want to move anything, and wanted the scholar to take care of everything, this limp look How can they look like their brave and warlike snake clan?
However, he is willing to become a little waste~
Although the news in the village is not well-informed, many villagers often go to the county town to buy some snacks, and occasionally satisfy their children's appetite.Sometimes I would also listen to what is popular in the county and bring it back to the village so that I can have something to talk about.
Not many villagers in the county heard that the original Pei Xiucai in their village had actually been admitted to Juren, so they couldn't help but immediately reported the news to the village newspaper.
When Niu Zhizhi heard the news, she was so shocked that she even dropped the ax in her hand.Since Du Xiu was bitten by a snake last time, she has never been back to the village, and her thoughts have come to nothing.
Recently, her life is also very bad. She often has to go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables to eat, because her gangster brother is addicted to gambling, and he has lost everything in the house.
She used to have some market in the village, but because of her gambler brother, no one cares about her now. After all, no one can help that there is an uncle who keeps gambling with the things at home.
Normally, she would go to Pei Shao's house to get some things, but the key point is that she didn't know why Pei Shao from the village also moved away. She didn't care about the other party's life and death, but one day she would hear news about him.
"It's impossible, just relying on that trash can pass the exam?" Niu Zhizhi didn't quite believe it.
But looking at the other party's serious expression, he hurriedly asked again: "You really didn't lie to me?"
"Believe it or not." The man was also a little annoyed, and left behind.
Niu Zhizhi was stunned in place, thinking many things in her mind.Master Juren must be much better than Brother Du Xiu's accountant, no, Niu Zhizhi doesn't seem to like Du Xiu that much anymore.
She murmured: "Pei Shao seemed to like me in the past..." If I knew she would have supported him well, wouldn't she be Juren's wife now?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she could not give up this opportunity. Niu Zhizhi entered the city and decided to confess to Pei Shao what she had done in the past.
She pondered what she should say in front of Pei Shao's mansion, while lamenting the grandeur of this mansion.
But in just a moment, someone came out, it was a very good-looking woman with a bulging belly.Although Niu Zhizhi is narcissistic, she is not sick, so she naturally knows that the other party is much prettier than herself, and she even looks a little jealous when she looks at this face.
However, could this person be Pei Shao's wife?
Niu Zhizhi was reluctant to admit this fact, but the next moment she saw the former scholar following up, at this moment she
