Reborn female match

Early the next morning, after An Tong had breakfast, An Lan wanted to take her to Quchuan to join the army at Geng's house to be invited by Geng Rong.

Zhishan County, where Quchuan's government is located, is not far from Taojiang County, and it takes only half an hour to go there by carriage.

An Tong originally planned to refuse, but after thinking about it carefully, if she wants to deal with Jiang's family, how can An's family and Sha Qianqian alone be enough?She should also find more help.

Geng Rong's father was Qu Chuan who joined the army. Although he was only a seventh-rank official, in this remote place far away from Bianjing, the magistrate of the head of a state was only a sixth-rank official. Besides, the duty of joining the army is to assist the prefect in daily life. It also has the function of supervising the prefect, so the role of the Geng family should not be underestimated.

Although the possibility of being able to rely on the Geng family is very low, it would be good for her to make one more friend and ask for more news.

After making up her mind, she agreed, and she asked Xu Xiangru if she wanted to go together, but the latter shook his head and said he wanted to go back to Fuqiu Village.

An Lan said: "I thought you were my sister's follower, but luckily you didn't follow!"

An Tong knocked her on the head, stared and said: "If you want to talk about my follower, I will count you as the biggest one, the one who has followed since childhood!"

An Lan covered her head and pouted: "An Tong, you hit me because of her, I ignore you!" After saying that, she turned and got into the carriage, and said fiercely to An Tong, "You must not get in my carriage!"

Xu Xiangru was a little relieved by An Tong's actions to protect her, but she didn't care about it like An Lan.An Tong also had no time to go to Li Anlan for the time being, so he said: "Fuqiu Village is a long way away, I'll ask the coachman to take you back first!"

"No, it's only a dozen miles away. I'll just find a donkey cart outside the city."

An Lan pulled the curtain of the carriage again: "You must not get in my carriage!"

She is always showing her presence, An Tong really can't continue to ignore her, so she can only say to Xu Xiangru: "Then be careful when you go back."

Xu Xiangru pursed his lips and hooked the corners of his mouth: "Understood."

An Tong turned around and got into her carriage, An Lan lifted the curtain and looked at her bitterly: "You're still sensible, you didn't get into my carriage!"

Ren Cuirou poked Shao Ru with her elbow: "Why does Miss Lan seem to want Miss Lan to get into her carriage?"

An Lan heard it, and said fiercely to the coachman: "Who said that! Hurry up, you will arrive at Geng's house one step earlier than An Tong!"

The coachman had no choice but to drive away from Uncle An's house at a high speed. An Tong was thinking about something, and felt dissatisfied with An Lan's childish behavior. She stuck out her head and urged Ren Cuirou and Shao Ru: "Get in the carriage quickly. , we can't be slower than An Lan!"

"..."

The two carriages left in the dust, Xu Xiangru looked at it for a while before looking back, and suddenly walked towards a direction that was not the city gate.

Xu Xiangru learned of Hua Dian's dirty tricks through investigations in Jinlan House and Caiwei House yesterday, but who can run gambling houses and brothels, how can they be aboveboard?Because of Hua Dian's skillful methods, and being able to find success in both sides of Taojiang, he must be quite capable.

If it weren't for a father like Xu San in the family, she thought that she and these people would only be people in two worlds in this life.

She thought about it all night last night, connecting Jiang Sheng'an, Ma Shaokang and Hua Dian, and pondering over and over again.There is also Xu Shangying who seems to be in their circle, but Xu Shangying's motives are a bit strange. Jiang Sheng'an's purpose may be to be in the An family, but Xu Shangying does not seem to have any contact with the An family, so it is unlikely that he will intervene in Xu San's affairs.

It's not easy for Jiang Sheng'an to attack An Tong directly. After all, An Tong already knew about his relationship with Shao Ru, otherwise how could she not bring Shao Ru with her most of the time!It was precisely because An Tong guarded against Shao Ru that Jiang Sheng'an and Shao Ru could not succeed.

So if Jiang Sheng'an has not given up, he will definitely attack the Xu family again, and threaten her to betray An Tong by taking advantage of the weakness of the Xu family.

She wanted to prevent Jiang Sheng'an from attacking Xu San again. After all, she knew that Xu San was full of loopholes. If they wanted to set a trap for him again, he would still fall into it.

She can no longer watch Xu San sink in, this time there is An's family to help, and the Xu family still has land to sell, but what about next time?Could it be that she really wanted to watch the Xu family go downhill step by step?

Instead of sitting still, it is better to take the initiative to look for opportunities.

And how would she, a person from a low-class household, shake those big trees?The Jiang family has the influence of the government, and Hua Dian manipulates a group of local hooligans who specialize in dirty activities. There are not only a few rich businessmen like the Ma family...

But because he flinched because he was afraid of their identities, he was not the Xu Xiangru who dared to go against An Tong.She doesn't have the ability to compete with them, but there are things that restrict them in the world, don't they?

It is corrupt and perverting the law for the government to provide protection to the gambling house, not to mention that the cheaters who have been deceived by the gambling house must be unwilling to repent. If she can use these powers to draw the attention of the county magistrate, she may be able to deter the Jiang family and the Hua family. Dian and so on.

And more importantly, she learned through inquiring these days that Captain Jiang is not able to cover the sky with one hand in Taojiang County:

Originally, local officials were elected for three years, and under normal circumstances, they were not allowed to be re-elected, but Jiang Xianwei was appointed for seven or eight years, which did not conform to the rules. The reason why he stayed for so long was that his political achievements were not outstanding. , not promoted.

Secondly, he saw that there was no hope of promotion, and the court seemed to have temporarily forgotten to transfer him elsewhere. He was quite nervous at first, but then he settled down.With the Jiang family's management over the years, he gradually became the second in command in Taojiang County.

As a county lieutenant, he is generally in charge of tax collection, criminal and prison security and other affairs in Taojiang County, while the county magistrate mainly deals with such affairs as "guide morality, investigate injustice, and listen to prison lawsuits".Taojiang County also has a county magistrate as the county magistrate's deputy, assisting the county magistrate in handling daily affairs;

Jiang Xianwei can only be ranked under the county magistrate and county magistrate in the county government, but because he has been operating here for seven or eight years, the county magistrate transferred from outside is under his control, which makes the county magistrate very upset.So on weekdays, these two people often fight against each other.

If Jiang Xianwei hadn't been operating in Taojiang County for many years, he might have been suppressed long ago.This is also the reason why Xu Xiangru guessed that Jiang Sheng'an had plans for An's family. After all, if Jiang Xianwei wanted to continue to gain a firm foothold, he had to rely on the support of a well-established squire like An's family.

Xu Xiangru decided to take advantage of the suspicion between the county magistrate and Jiang county lieutenant, not because she thought that the magistrate was an upright person. If he relied on integrity, he might not move the Jiang family. If it was for profit...only profit can drive people's hearts the most.

Xu Xiangru didn't tell An Tong what she found out, she didn't want An Tong to be involved, otherwise, once the matter came to light, the An family would be at a disadvantage, and An Tong could only let the Jiang family bully her, this was not what she wanted to see .

Geng Rong is still as plump as An Tong saw last time, although she and An Tong have only met once, but An Tong's dark skin is particularly conspicuous among the fair and tender young ladies, she recognized An Tong at a glance Come.

"Sister Tong, what a coincidence that you came today!" Geng Rong said with a smile.

"Oh? But what's the fun thing?" An Tong looked at her curiously.

"Didn't you say you like to watch some exciting gambling games last time? It just so happens that there are a few gambling games in the Cuju Club!"

An Tong's heart moved, and he quickly asked: "Which Cuju teams are you going to compete?"

"Xu Yanei, the Shen family, and the Shen family."

An Tong smiled and said: "Then I have to make fun of it, and please forgive me, sisters, for not being able to have fun with you."

Geng Rong waved his hand: "What did Sister Tong say? Anyway, today is to entertain you and Sister Lan. You have come all the way, so we have to do our honor as landlords, right? We will go with you today. It just so happens that we can be with you." Tell me who are the pretty gentlemen!"

When it came to the end, some of the young ladies who had never left the court had peach blossoms on their faces, looking very looking forward to it.

An Tong couldn't figure it out, what does Mr. Qiao Lang have to do with her?But after thinking about it, she is still in her cardamom years, shouldn't she be aroused like most little ladies?

Thinking of this, she fell into a tangle again, why hadn't she been tempted by any handsome man since she grew up?

After thinking about it, she felt that she should have never met the so-called handsome man.

A group of people went to the place specially surrounded by the Cuju Club for the competition. It was just beside a Buddhist temple in the southwest of the city, with a total area of ​​eight acres.In addition to the Cuju field, there are stands for others to watch, and there are many flags of shops hanging around the stand.

When the manager of the Cuju Club saw this group of young ladies, some of them were familiar, so he became flattered and welcomed them in.They went up from the back of a platform, and the steward of the Cuju club brought up some chairs, and naturally tea and preserved fruits were also indispensable.

There are also people who come over to explain to them which Cuju teams are on the field and which key players are there. If they speak well, the ladies may reward them with a reward.And if the ladies want to bet some money, they can do it for them.

An Tong couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Come here, the vision has really broadened a lot."

An Lan said: "Sister, you can't publish Bo Bo."

"I should tell you this! See if there is a handsome gentleman you like?" An Tong joked with her.

All the young ladies also turned their attention to the Cuju field. They were facing off against Xu Shangying's Cuju team and Shen's Cuju team. These two well-known Cuju teams met together, and it must be the last match.This is also the case, so the surrounding tables are full of people, and some of the tables are even crowded with onlookers.

"It's not long since the beginning, but I think there are Wu Jinjiao and others in Xu Yamen, so I think they won't lose." The people around them commented.

An Tong is actually not interested in Cuju, her eyes wandered around the field, suddenly, her eyes locked, and she couldn't help showing a surprised expression.Seeing this, Shao Ru asked, "Little lady, what's the matter?"

"Shao Ru, do you think that person in the red round collar robe looks like someone you met during your trip to Dongwu?"

Shao Ru followed her gaze, and was also startled: "Really, really..."

"That's Xu Yanei, have you seen it?" Geng Rong said.

An Tong and the others turned their heads to look at her: "Is that Xu Shang—Xu Yanei?"

"Yes!"

An Tong gasped, but suddenly calmed down again.Xu Shangying and Jiang Sheng'an were originally the same breed, and they seemed to make too much fuss.

"What's wrong?" An Lan showed a gossiping expression.

Shao Ru stared at it for a while, and couldn't help but complain why Jiang Sheng'an didn't mention to her that there was the son of the magistrate Xu among the people that day!Although she was not interested in Xu Shangying's identity, didn't she even have the qualifications to know who Jiang Shengan had friends with?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help being a little angry.

"It's okay!" After An Tong's words sounded, Shao Ru withdrew her thoughts again, thinking that she shouldn't think about Jiang Sheng'an so much, maybe Jiang Sheng'an has his reasons?

An Tong didn't know what Shao Ru was thinking, but asked Geng Rong: "Has Xu Ya Nei ever married?"

Geng Rong said: "Although she is young and weak, she has never been married."

"Then he must have a lot of young ladies secretly agreeing."

Although Geng Rong didn't answer, but curled his lips, An Tong felt happy when he saw this.It's not in vain for her to travel so far to watch the boring Cuju competition. Although Geng Rong's attitude towards Xu Shangying is very ordinary on the surface, it can be seen from this small detail that she is a little disapproving of Xu Shangying in her heart, isn't she?

Originally, she wanted to make friends with the Geng family, so that she and Jiang Sheng'an could have more confidence in retiring the engagement.But after discovering that the relationship between Xu Shangying and Jiang Sheng'an was actually better than expected, she worried that the relationship between the Geng family and the Xu family was good.
