NOVEL NEXT Chapter 50 Heart-to-heart talk
As soon as everyone heard the word "Fox Demon", their attention immediately shifted from Lou Lan'er's storybook to Lu and Wang.
Wang Xiucai broke away from Lu Chengzu's hand and said: "With the little ink you have, you can only write a limerick. How can you win the prize?"
Seeing that the conflict was getting worse, the aunt on the side pulled Wang Xiucai back to his seat and comforted him: "Silly boy, if we fail the exam, we will take the exam next time. Don't get confused and start a fight!"
Lu Da and Shu Xi stepped forward to stop Lu Xiucai from being violent to Wang Xiucai. After all, Lu Xiucai was visible to the naked eye and was much stronger than Wang Xiucai.
"Lu Xiucai, hurry up and take a seat. We'll make you a No. 1 pick meal right now!" Shui Xi was afraid that the two of them would start fighting again and overturn the table.
Lu Xiucai got excited. He was criticized to his face and said he was not worthy of being elected. He couldn't keep his dignity. He slapped the table and got angry at Ma Xi: "Yuanyang pot, I also have a Yuanyang pot. Without this pot, you Just pour his and make me one!”
"Eating is also on a first-come, first-served basis, Lu Xiucai, your request is so unreasonable!"
After Mao Xi said this, Lu Xiucai got excited and rushed to Wang Xiucai's table as if he wanted to snatch the copper hotpot on his table.
"What are you going to do?" Although Wang Xiucai was quick to talk, when he saw Lu Xiucai coming to grab the hot pot, he was so frightened that he jumped out of his seat and ran towards the door of the store.
Lu Da grabbed Lu Xiucai's hand and pushed him to the door: "Go, go, if you want to fight or curse, get out of the door! You still want to grab the hot pot, are you going to insult me?"
Lu and Wang started quarreling at the door of Liuxiang Snacks again.
Finally, Lu Chengzu said harsh words to Wang Xiucai: "You Wang Xiucai, you won't be able to pass the next imperial examination. Let me tell you, the magistrate Lu Yongxu knows, he is my uncle, I will prevent you from passing the exam in your life." Lift!"
After saying that, he spat at Liuxiang Snacks again: "Bah, don't do my business, what the hell!"
Wang Xiucai was tired of scolding and was so drunk that he collapsed at the door. Finally, the aunt helped him into the store.
Mao Xi hurriedly went to make hangover soup for the two scholars.
Mu Zhiyuan happened to witness Lu Xiucai spitting out lotus flowers outside the door. His brows tightened and his face turned dark green: "Zhizhou Lu Yongxu, it is not the Lu family that has the final say in this imperial examination."
He entered Liuxiang Snacks, and the store had returned to normal.
"Ah Shu, what happened just now? I saw the two scholars were cursing at the door for a while?"
"It's nothing. One of them didn't pass the exam and drank some wine, and the other one did... Brother Mu, please wait for me. When we're done, we'll go fishing."
There were many people in the store today. After making arrangements, Mao Xi took the fishing tools and went to the suburban pond to fish with Mu Zhiyuan. Xiaodouzi and Ajiao also followed.
"You two, stop running around and call out when a fish comes into the basket."
After Mao Xi told his younger brother to take good care of his sister Ajiao, he rented a fishing boat with Mu Zhiyuan and went to the center of the pond to cast a net to catch seedlings.
The net has been cast down, and the rays of light reflected on the pool surface under the setting sun make the millet Xi look particularly gentle.
The two sat on the boat and talked.
"Brother Mu, I really feel sorry for Wang Xiucai and Zhang Xiucai."
"Ah Xiao, the provincial examination is held every three years. If you fail, you will always feel regretful. Do you plan to let Xiaodouzi take the imperial examination route in the future?" Mu Zhiyuan did not like officialdom battles and yearned for a peaceful life in the countryside since he was a child.
"The son of a farmer and businessman is probably not qualified to be a child!"
"If you want, I can recommend it, but the road to the imperial examination is much more difficult."
"It depends on what Xiaodouzi thinks in the future. Now I just hope that he can recognize more words and have a craft to make a living in the future. Amei will let her play for a few more years. Childhood is so precious!"
"Mao Xi, next year you will be fifteen and a hairpin, right?" Mu Zhiyuan said meaningfully, next year he will be a hairpin in his twenties.
"Fifteen is still early, haha..." Mao Xi smiled awkwardly. She was a fourteen-year-old girl pretending to be a twenty-seven-year-old modern soul.
"Do you plan to keep this small shop open..." Mu Zhiyuan swallowed the second half of the sentence.
"My grandma and I want to have dinner. My younger brothers and sisters are still young, and I don't know when my father and brother will retire from the army and return to their hometown..."
When she first traveled through time, the first thing Mu Xi thought about was to eat enough and not be hungry. Now, she seems to want to do more.
"At least for now, let's make Liuxiang Snacks flourish...Brother Mu, the fish is in the net!"
Mu Zhiyuan collected the fishing net skillfully, and the harvest was quite good today, with more than 20 fry.
"Xiaodouzi, Ajiao, go home!"
Xiaodouzi collected the fish basket. There was no special harvest in the fish basket today, except for two small carps.
Mao Xi and Mu Zhiyuan returned to Liujiacun with their younger brothers and sisters and put the fry in the paddy field at home.
The corn in the field has grown a little taller, but it is still unclear what kind of crop it is. Mu Zhiyuan asked: "Ah Shu, did you move this crop from the back mountain?"
"Uh...yes!" Mao Xi replied awkwardly, as if that was the only reason.
"Sister, sister, I'm going to the back mountain to pick mushrooms and dig bamboo shoots~" Ajiao heard from the back mountain and said coquettishly while holding Mao Xi's feet.
"Sister, I'm going too. Brother Mu, please come too," Xiaodouzi followed.
Thinking that the inventory of bamboo shoots in the space was about to run out, Mao Xi decided to go up the mountain again tomorrow.
"But it hasn't rained much recently. How about we take a different route and go to Savage Valley?"
Mu Zhiyuan frowned: "Mao Xi, Savage Valley is a restricted area, and the government won't let you go there. It's too dangerous!"
"Brother Mu, have you forgotten? I have a personal space. If there are really cannibal savages, we can just hide in the space!" Mao Xi smiled slyly.
.
Kaitang County Government Office.
Judge Li Rusong and magistrate Zhou Rusheng are discussing the case.
"Sir, there are only these two pieces of direct evidence in this case. Apart from Old Man Zheng's confession, there is currently no other direct evidence against Lu Zhizhou." Zhou Rusheng analyzed.
Li Songru looked at the green pleated mushroom powder and jute paper in front of him.
"Zhou Rusheng, I am going to the prison to interrogate the father and daughter in person."
When Old Man Zheng saw Li Songru, he kowtowed after repeating the story: "Your Majesty is in charge. Everything I said is true. Please don't convict my daughter."
"Do you have any impression of the person who gave you the green pleated mushroom powder? When and where did they meet you?"
"There is no fixed time. He always wears black clothes and has a strong figure. He will find my place by himself and give me the medicine powder."
"Which scholar's jute paper strategies have you taken in fragments?"
Old man Zheng told the names one by one.
Li Songru: "Zhou Zhixian, go and check whether these people have participated in this year's provincial examination, and then check whether this year's candidates are related to the nine ethnic groups in Lu Zhizhou."
"Sir, Lu Zhizhou's nephew took the provincial examination in this county this year and passed the examination!" Zhou Rusheng replied.
Li Songru's eyes were shocked and he said: "Zhixian County Zhou, take me to see Miss Cai Die."
