Chapter 9 The tiger fell and Pingyang was bullied by the dog

The documents to remove official positions are true.

On that day, the Chen family was kicked out of the yamen.

The Chen family couple, including Chen Xiao and Long Jiuling, were all at a loss after walking out of the yamen with their bags.

Especially Chen Xiao thought he was slapped with his thighs, and he slapped Luo Qianqian in the face in the face and broke the engagement.

But now, this is really ten years, ten years, and Hexi...

If Luo Qianqian of the Luo family knew about it...

"Oh? Isn't this the family of County Magistrate Chen?"

Chen Xiao was stunned and thought to himself, right?

Then he turned around and saw that not far away, a couple in their forties, with two children, a man and a woman, and many servants, were looking at Chen Xiao and the other four with a sarcastic look on their faces.

"What? Isn't this official anymore?" The person who spoke was the Luo family.

This was very loud. Many pedestrians heard it outside the yamen and surrounded them.

During this period, Chen Wenshan did a lot of things for the people and had a very good reputation. Suddenly, he heard that he would no longer be an official, and the people felt that it was not good.

Looking at Chen Wenshan again, his face darkened, and he snorted and said, "I'm not doing it anymore. I'm old and resigning from my post to retire. What's wrong? Are you not convinced?"

This is also a person who is willing to suffer for face, but Mr. Luo sneered:

"Is that so? Why did I hear that, Chen County Magistrate, you were dismissed for taking bribes?"

"Rumors are definitely rumors!" Chen Wenshan denied it.

The people around were also talking about it, thinking that Chen Wenshan could not be corrupt, right? After all, he has taken the initiative to pay for the people recently.

However, at this time, Chen Xiao pulled Chen Wenshan aside and whispered:

"I understand, it was the Luo family who caused us to end up like this."

Chen Wenshan was stunned at first, and then he thought that he had conflicts with the Luo family during this period. In addition, something happened to him and he had just been driven out. It was a coincidence that someone from the Luo family came to him?

Is this a coincidence? Obviously not.

So, when Chen Xiao reminded him, Chen Wenshan also understood. He looked back at the four members of the Luo family, his eyes full of anger.

At this time, the Luo family lady Luo Qianqian chuckled, stepped forward and looked at Chen Xiao and said:

"I said, "Ten years from Hedong, ten years from Hexi, don't bully girls poor! How about it, Chen Xiao, I didn't like me when you broke the engagement, but now you are in a downturn. Do you still like you?"

"Down and out?" Chen Xiao smiled and turned to Chen Wenshan and said, "Dad, she said our family is down and out?"

Chen Wenshan laughed and said, "I just don't become an official, why are you down and out? My old house in Qingyang County is not smaller than your Luo family's house, right? The silver I saved over the years is not less than your Luo family's savings, right? A lean camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how poor my Chen family is, isn't it better than your Luo family?"

This is true. When Chen Xiao asked his father to transfer his property a few days ago, he really saw what a corrupt official is.

Good guy, there are at least a few thousand taels of gold, and the silver is less than tens of thousands taels. I am afraid that the assets will be worth hundreds of thousands taels of silver.

To convert to modern times, it is equivalent to about 100 million.

This is a considerable amount of money. A county magistrate embezzled 100 million yuan, but he lost his official position and made a big profit.

Of course, the money was transferred in advance by Chen Xiao's foresight, otherwise, they would have been kicked out of the yamen with empty hands now.

The proud faces of the four members of the Luo family were slightly relieved.

When I came back to my senses, I thought that the lean camel was bigger than the horse. Even if the Chen family was not an official, their property was not worse than that of the Luo family.

So, the smell of mocking came became less strong.

However, Luo Qianqian was unwilling to give up and said, "This is just the beginning. Your Chen family is no longer an official. Can you really fight against my Luo family in the future?"

Chen Xiao sneered, thought for a while, and suddenly said:

"This is really: a dragon travels in shallow water and is played by shrimps, a tiger falls in the flat sun and is bullied by dogs, a cat is worse than a tiger, and a phoenix falls in hair and is worse than a chicken..."

After saying that, I laughed, but saw everyone around me carefully savoring the poem. Many scholars found it very interesting.

The four members of the Luo family did not hear the profound meaning. Luo Qianqian sneered and said, "The tiger falls into Pingyang and is bullied by a dog? Haha, you really understand your situation!"

Chen Xiao shook his head, and suddenly, a woman walked out of the crowd.

The woman is seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a white dress and a elegant and elegant temperament.

At this moment, the beautiful woman looked at Chen Xiao and then spoke to the lady of the Luo family:

"This lady, I'm afraid you don't understand the meaning of the poem. In this poem, this young master compared himself to the dragon, tiger, phoenix.

But I compared you to that chicken and shrimp. I really scold you without saying dirty words, but you are also elegant. Why do you still agree with it?”

As soon as these words were said, the onlookers burst into laughter, and Luo Qianqian's face turned red and she felt embarrassed.

Chen Xiao laughed and said, "This girl explains well!"

The woman bowed: "The young master is extremely literary, and even scolds people so poetic and picturesque, fresh and refined. The little woman admires it!"

Seeing the conversation between the two, Luo Qianqian's face became even more ugly. She stared at Chen Xiao and said, "It's only good at speaking. Now that the official status is gone, my Luo family will let your Chen family be destroyed!"

After saying that, Luo Qianqian turned around and left, and the Luo Yuanwai and the young master of the Luo family snorted and left.

Before leaving, the young master of the Luo family looked at Long Jiuling beside Chen Xiao, with a hint of greed in his eyes.

Seeing that the Luo family was angry, Chen Wenshan breathed a sigh of relief, and finally there was no shame today.

Then he looked at his son and said, "Son, why don't you know, Dad, how can you write poetry?"

Write poetry? You can write poetry with a hammer. Of course, you can't say that, but smile confidently:

"Are we wet people?"

"Okay, what a 'we are not weeds'. The unyielding and radical artistic conception shown by the young master's words is really shocking!" The woman in white looked at Chen Xiao in admiration.

Chen Xiao was stunned and thought to himself, right? He was so proud of anything he said?

"The young master is very knowledgeable, but it is rare to see a young girl. The young woman is named Bai Qingqing, who loves poetry, songs, and literary works. I wonder if the young master can meet the young master?"

Chen Xiao hurriedly learned from the ancients and bowed: "Miss is a mischievous praise. Chen Xiao is not very talented. He is good at poetry and laughs when he sees it!"

"Young Master Chen is humble. By the way, you are not sure where you live? The little girl comes to visit you another day?" Bai Qingqing asked.

Chen Xiao was stunned. He didn't know where the old house was.

At this time, Chen Wenshan said: "Home lives in Qinghe Lane, Chen's Mansion!"

"Thank you uncle. I'm here to come to my house another day, I'm afraid I'll be disturbed!" Bai Qingqing saluted and immediately bid farewell to Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao took a deep breath, and it was tiring to talk to the ancients, and it was even more tiring to talk to the ancient literati...

"Son, let's go and go back to the old house!" Chen Wenshan greeted.

Chen Xiao nodded, reached out and pulled Long Jiuling and left.
