Chapter 117 County Governor's Mansion Dinner

"Haha, as long as your benefactor likes it, men and women love each other, don't say anything about whether they are high or not. As long as your benefactor agrees, I will tell my junior sister the rest. In fact, if your benefactor marrying your junior sister, it will be of great help to you in the future. Although the Shui family has stripped the title of nobles and its strength is no longer as good as before. There is no one in the clan, but it has strong financial resources. No matter what your benefactor wants to do, he can use money and food, and he will not be busy all day long to make a living in the past."

"Of course I marry her not for his family's money!" Chen Xu clamped his legs and continued to walk forward with his horse's hooves.

"There is no conflict in this matter. With the ability of my benefactor, the future money will naturally be made by car. The water family will naturally be a vassal with you at that time, and the family's power will also rise with the rise. By the way, what are you thinking about when I said before?"

"That thing?"

"It's just the matter of being an emperor!"

Chen Xu stopped again as soon as he pulled the reins, stared at Yu Wuya fiercely and said, "Don't mention it again after I said this!"

"But I always feel that it's a pity for my benefactor not to be the emperor!" Yu Wuya murmured.

"I'll ask you a question. You are studying with Miss Shui. Didn't you think about marrying her?" Chen Xu simply changed the subject and refused to continue discussing the emperor with this guy.

"I don't like women!" Yu Wuya said with a lip.

"Ga~" Chen Xu's body stiffened and almost fell off the horse's back.

"My benefactor is wrong. Wuya doesn't like men either!" Yu Wuya shook his head quickly, "Wuya is a disciple of Liezi. He has been following his master to practice since childhood. He likes freedom and longs for freedom and freedom. He doesn't have much thoughts about men and women. He will naturally be interested in meeting a graceful and gentle woman. But if you say you want to marry a wife, have children and farm for a whole life, it's better to let me die. Although my junior sister is beautiful and intelligent,... that... I have seen her grow up since I was a child. I really can't give birth to any romance!"

Chen Xu:...

OK! Is this the so-called rabbits don’t eat grass by their nests?

Or is it too familiar to start?

Chen Xu thought for a long time and was basically sure that Yu Wuya was just a second-hand man.

A big man is not interested in the beautiful woman who is close to you every day and night. It can be seen that he is a kind of person with mental illness and cannot be cured.

Actually, this is understandable.

Liezi inherited and carried forward Lao Tzu's Taoist philosophy, and his theoretical research was even more illusory. He had a unique understanding of the way of heaven and nature, believing that everything is nothing, and that to the extreme, there is no difference between heaven and earth. Therefore, he advocated that everyone is equal, no distinction between high and low, so Liezi's disciples were called the Guixu school. Because they believed in the complete emptyness, they pursued emptiness, which was the taste of empty things in later Buddhism. Therefore, most of Liezi's disciples lived a very free life, wandering all day in the primitive nature of famous mountains and rivers to pursue the realization of the nothingness of the great way, and naturally had no interest in the affairs of men and women. Taoist monks who saw through the world and became monks in later generations did not marry and have children. This is the end of pursuing the way of heaven.

The two talked and chatted. When they arrived at the inn again, the sun had already set in the west and Jiangbei Pavilion had been waiting for a long time.

Jiangbeiting looked up and down at Chen Xu's outfit, twisted his beard and smiled and said, "This dress of nephew is refreshing, and he already has the appearance of a beautiful tree in the wind!"

"The county magistrate was awarded for the award, and Xu was also ashamed. He was poor since childhood and had never worn such good clothes. He was a little uncomfortable!" Chen Xu once again sorted out the clothes that were crooked by riding a horse, and even shone out the jade pendant on his waist.

Looking at the jade pendant, Jiang Beiting's eyes lit up, then he was extremely surprised, and then he was stunned.

"Sir, is there something wrong with Xu's outfit?" Chen Xu asked quickly.

"It's okay, I'm just a little surprised to see that the jade pendant of my nephew has a delicate texture and exquisite workmanship, and is definitely of great value!" Although Jiang Beiting was puzzled, he still shook his head quickly.

He was so familiar with this jade pendant. It seemed to be hanging on his daughter's waist a few days ago. Why did it fall on Chen Xu in the blink of an eye in a few days? Could it be that Chen Xu stole his daughter's things again?

Jiang Beiting thought it was impossible because his subordinates had never mentioned this matter.

Or maybe it was because my daughter liked this young man and gave him the jade pendant?

As soon as this idea came out, Jiang Beiting felt it was even more impossible, so he shook his head hard and threw this idea behind his mind. He could only wait until he went back to Xianyang and asked his daughter carefully.

The county magistrate's mansion is located in the middle of the city, not far from the county vassal, only a hundred meters away.

When passing by the majestic and tall Nanyang County Office, Chen Xu stopped to take a look. In front of the county office was a street facing the south gate and a wide square hundreds of feet. There were three steps and 21 steps to the lobby of the county office. All were paved with bluestone. The yamen terrace was towering, and the walls and bricks were built with bluestone, so it looked extremely thick and more than a hundred times stronger than the dilapidated Chixian County Office.

In fact, in Chen Xu's opinion, the buildings at this time were very rough, but they could not stand the use of blue bricks and huge stones. Perhaps because of the large land and few people, many buildings occupied a lot of space. Therefore, the surroundings of the county government are very wide and look as majestic and domineering as a palace.

"You are so rude to go to the evening. If the county magistrate asks about the conflict, you can tell the truth. But I guess he will not question you in front of many famous scholars in Nanyang, so there will definitely not be too many things tonight!" Jiang Beiting walked by the side and reminded.

Soon a few people came to the front of a huge mansion. After turning over and dismounting, several soldiers led the horses to the wooden stake next to them and tied them. Yu Wuya also reminded him: "My benefactor, I'll wait for you outside!"

"Yeah~" Chen Xu nodded and Jiang Beiting walked into the gate of the mansion one by one.

At the entrance, there is a wide courtyard with bluestone bricks on the ground, which is as large as half a football field. There are several houses connected together around it, all with wood and stone structures, and the beams and brackets look very thick and sturdy.

There were faint chatting and laughter and the sound of silk and bamboo coming from inside.

"Mr. Jiang County, Xiao Langjun, please come inside, the county magistrate is already waiting in the banquet hall!" A middle-aged scholar wearing a light blue robe came up, bowed slightly to Jiang Beiting and Chen Xu, led the two through a gate on the front, and then passed through an alley.

The space in front of me suddenly became clear, and there was a fully wooden hall with low desks on both sides. In the middle of a sunken dance floor, seven or eight thin-dressed young women were dancing to the jingle music.
