Chapter 14 Getting the Answers to the Township Exam
Now, it became Chen Xiao’s report to Wei Dianshi again, and this time, it was still the kind that could not be justified.
Because Wei Dianshi himself said at first that Chen Xiao beat him, but now he said that this is not the case. Isn’t that just a false accusation?
Wei Dian is so impressed by history, but he doesn't know what to say.
Above, the bystander Wang County Master Qing, knew that Wei Dianshi was taken into the ditch by Chen Xiao and could not get out.
So he sighed, but he couldn't convict his subordinates, so County Magistrate Wang said:
"This case is too complicated. Let's do it first and withdraw."
"Wait!" Chen Xiao frowned: "You can't handle such a simple case well, sir? If you can't handle it well today, this scholar doesn't mind dragging it."
The county magistrate sneered: "Since that's the case, then drag it."
Some cases will be left unresolved once they are delayed, so it is a good perfunctory method.
Chen Xiao said: "That county magistrate, don't regret it!"
The county magistrate said angrily: "Do you think you can still threaten me?"
On the side, Wei Dianshi looked at Chen Xiao with a sneering look on his face.
Chen Xiao was slow and said lightly: "Then I will drag it, and I will drag it until the newly appointed county magistrate comes, and then I will report to Wei Dianshi.
However, the newly appointed county magistrate will know such a simple case and you will not deal with it. Instead, he will be dragged to him as the new official to deal with it. I don’t know what I think…”
The county magistrate frowned and his face became gloomy again.
Chen Xiao's words hit him weak.
Gwed, he looked at Chen Xiao with a calm face: "Okay, you're ruthless!"
As he said that, he ordered: "Wei Dianshi falsely accused Chen Xiucai, sentenced Wei Dianshi to be punished for twenty sticks, fined three months of salary, and retired..."
Wei Dianshi's face changed. Seeing that the county magistrate left, he knew that it was useless to say more, so he had to look at Chen Xiao with an angry look and said:
"Boy, wait for me. I don't believe me as a dictionary, I can't beat you!"
As he said that, he was taken out by the soap clerk and went to beat the board.
Chen Xiao took a deep breath, then went out with a smile to watch Wei Dianshi being beaten, making Wei Dianshi's face turn black and red.
This matter is temporarily over.
So, Chen Wenshan and his wife took Long Jiuling home with them.
The maids and servants who Chen Wenshan went out to pay for money in the morning also arrived at the Chen Mansion. The huge mansion was finally cleaned up.
In the hall, Chen Wenshan said to Chen Xiao with admiration:
"My son's verbal skills are really amazing. A few words not only help us, but also let Dian Shi be beaten. I feel so happy!"
Chen Xiao smiled and said, "Don't be careless. After all, they are officials. On the surface, I can control myself with reason, but in private, I'm afraid I'm not going to be prepared."
"So, my son should have an official position to make us feel at ease." Chen Wenshan said.
Speaking of this, the system reminded last night that Chen Xiao completed the task of protecting Long Jiuling and had already obtained the best answer sheet for the autumn examination. It can be viewed from the virtual elderly machine screen. This is really the best way to cheat.
Therefore, if Chen Xiao participated in the autumn examination, he would definitely pass the imperial examination.
Chen Xiao spoke confidently: "Then go to the exam for a juren. Maybe he can really get a job with a single official position."
"My son is so confident, I am very comforted by my father!" Chen Wenshan smiled.
At this time, there was a doorman, that is, the guardian of the door, and said:
"Master, there is a young lady outside who said she was named Bai Qingqing and came to interview the young master!"
Chen Wenshan said: "Please hurry!"
Soon, Bai Qingqing, who was dressed in white and had a very elegant temperament, came. After saluting Chen Wenshan, Chen Wenshan stood up and left with great tactfulness.
"Miss Bai, please sit down!" Chen Xiao made a gesture of invitation.
Bai Qingqing smiled and said, "No, Qingqing is here because she admires Mr. Chen's literary talent and wants to invite her to attend the Summer Literary Association organized by my grandfather."
"Can literati?" Chen Xiao was puzzled.
Bai Qingqing said: "Yes, my grandfather and I went back to my hometown in Qingyang County and would have to stay for a few days, so my grandfather organized a summer literati meeting and invited some literary people in Qingyang County to talk about poetry, songs and essays together. Wouldn't that be happy?"
"Will I go to this place like this..." Chen Xiao wanted to refuse.
Bai Qingqing hurriedly said, "Young Master Chen is so proud. It is rare that there is a talented and learned person like you in Qingyang County. If you don't go, wouldn't you lose the title of this literati?"
Chen Xiao had no choice but to nod: "Okay!"
As he said that, he looked at Long Jiuling and said, "Girl, let's go together?"
After what happened last night, Long Jiuling was a little afraid to separate from Chen Xiao, so he nodded naturally.
So Bai Qingqing smiled and took Chen Xiao and Long Jiuling out of the Chen Mansion and got on a carriage.
The carriage was leisurely and soon, we arrived outside the house.
The three got off the carriage, and then Bai Qingqing took Chen Xiao into the house in person.
There were many middle-aged and elderly people in the front yard, surrounded by the hall, as if they were watching who wrote.
"The old man who picked up the pen is my grandfather. He is writing and postings with the literati and poets in Qingyang County!"
Bai Qingqing introduced that he immediately took Chen Xiao and Long Jiuling to the backyard.
It is worthy of being a scholarly family. The layout style of the front and back yards of the Bai family is very poetic and picturesque, with various pavilions and towers, all kinds of poetry, calligraphy and paintings.
When we arrived at the backyard, there were twenty or thirty young men and women holding fans one by one, seemingly discussing poetry, but in fact they were showing off.
Seeing Bai Qingqing coming, everyone's eyes were cast, and one of them joked:
"I think the person who can be picked up by Miss Qingqing himself must be a talented person!"
A person next to him frowned: "Huh... Isn't this the stupid son of former county magistrate Chen Wenshan? Why did you invite him?"
"What a stupid son, it is said that he has been missing for two years and his illness has been cured." Someone smiled.
"Even if he recovers from his illness, he shouldn't have come to such a gathering of talented people, right? Besides, he was invited by Miss Qingqing?"
These voices did not restrain at all, and Chen Xiao heard them clearly.
Chen Xiao didn't care, but at this time, someone said, "It's really Mr. Chen. I didn't recover from his illness. Otherwise, how could he have angrily resigned from his engagement with Miss Luo?
At that time, the lady of the Luo family said that he had been going on for ten years and ten years. He was unthinkable. How long has it been? His father, the county magistrate, disappeared. Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk
Chen Xiao smiled slightly: "I don't agree with what this brother said. Although my father is not an official, my Chen family still has great achievements and is still in a glorious place now. No matter how bad it is, it is better than everyone here. Why should you humiliate yourself?"
The man who was speaking was speechless by Chen Xiao's words and his face turned red. At this time, another man beside him shook his fan and said:
"Brother Chen, your family's great business is indeed a big deal, but it is really unwise to just leave a beautiful fiancée like Miss Luo's. You must know that things like beauty are rare~"
Chen Xiao smiled and held Long Jiuling's hand and said:
"My current fiancée is not more beautiful than her Lady Luo family? Isn't it more beautiful than the Lady Luo family? Are you stupid or me?"
Everyone looked at Long Jiuling and was stunned. This was much more beautiful than Luo Qianqian.
The man was also embarrassed, and the others looked at Chen Xiao with envy and jealousy.
