The rough guy who wears it fast is too strong

Chu Shan and Wen Lan didn't have any objections after hearing this. They were just a daughter, and she could be wherever she wanted. Wen Lan didn't have to travel back and forth between the village and the county to do her embroidery.

After making the decision, he took action immediately. Chu Shan explained the situation to the village chief, and then followed Chu Li to start looking for a house to rent.

Houses are still easy to find. In the year of natural disaster, everyone has no money. Many houses in the county are vacant for rent, and the price is reasonable. Chu Li finally decided to rent a four-room small courtyard with one entrance.

The yard is not big, but it is quiet and elegant, fully furnished, and is very close to the main street without being noisy, making it very suitable for living. The price is also right, six taels of silver a year.

After signing the deed and paying the deposit and rent, the two returned quickly.

On the way, they happened to encounter a group of men who were caught by them and were taken to prison by the Yamen.

At this time, a chicken vendor pointed at the group of men and said to the vendor selling candied haws on the side: "Hey, let me tell you, take a look, are those people the criminals who were wanted last month?"

The candied haws vendor rubbed his eyes and looked carefully, "It's true! Thirteen members of Zhang Yuanwai's family died tragically under the knife of these people. I heard that the death was terrible! They didn't even spare the baby who was not one month old."

"I was finally caught. I have been scared all this time."

The people around him quickly recognized it and immediately started to get excited.

"Kill them, these heartless people!"

"Go to hell you..."

As the crowd started to discuss, some people began to throw stones, cow dung, rotten vegetables and leaves at them. The store where they were escorted stopped them with a few symbolic words, then turned around and continued walking forward as if they hadn't seen anything.

After Chu Li and Chu Shan came back, the resettlement money had been distributed, and the magistrate of Changle County also sent people to pick them up.

"Let's go, I've already told the village chief." Chu Shan picked up the donkey that had packed his luggage, and Huangfu Huai picked up the other donkey.

When passing by a narrow alley, the sound of quarreling inside made several people couldn't help but look sideways, because the sound should belong to the Huang family and Lao Wang's family.

"no!

My son is going to Beijing to take the exam. Since your daughter is marrying my son, you should treat my son as your eldest son. He is the number one scholar.

Going to a remote village in Changle County to build a house is not a waste of time. Autumn will be here in a month. What should I do if my son is delayed from going to Beijing to take the exam?

We agreed at the beginning that you would support my son in going to Beijing to take the exam, so I reluctantly agreed to him marrying Wang Xiaocui.

Otherwise, how could she, an ugly and frustrated village girl, be able to live with us? "

Huang was angry and had a sharp voice.

Wang Xiaocui's face immediately drooped and she bit her lip. Although she was angry, she did not dare to refute Huang.

Wang Yong frowned, "Then I can't give you all the money, right? We have to leave some money to build a house in Changle County."

Huang's eyes widened: "Then I don't care. I've asked about it. If it takes a month to walk from here to the capital, what if my son doesn't catch up with Qiu Wei? He has to rent a carriage and rent a house when he gets to the capital. , food and accommodation in Beijing must be expensive, and he needs to buy some more pens, ink, paper and inkstones."

Wang Yong looked embarrassed. They didn't expect that the imperial examination was so expensive. According to Huang's calculation, it would cost at least fifteen taels, right?

They can't throw all their belongings at An Mu...

At this time, Wang Xiaocui who was standing by said quickly, "Dad, An Xiu is the top talent, what are you worried about? He will be a high official in the future, and our family will follow the popular food and drink spicy food, and even build a building in Changle County. What's the house for?

I don't think it's better than this. An Xiucai and I rent a carriage to go to Beijing to take the exam, take care of his daily life, and you can walk slowly behind.

When An Xiucai wins the first prize, we will all stay in Beijing. "

Huang's face immediately became unhappy when she heard this. Is she trying to get involved with her son?

But she opened her mouth but closed it. Now she had to ask them to pay for it. At worst, she would give them some compensation after her son passed the exam... Her son was going to marry a girl from a wealthy family, and this Wang Xiaocui had no money to pay. If she doesn't take action, she will have to embarrass her son when the time comes.

"Dad, I think my sister is right, let's follow him to Beijing and don't delay my brother-in-law's imperial examination." Wang Tianlai also spoke.

Wang Yong nodded and made up his mind, "Let's make it this way."

Mrs. Huang was relieved immediately. As long as she took out the money, she would be relieved.

An Mu, who had been reading and saying nothing, also breathed a sigh of relief and held the book in his hand less tightly.

-

Their scene happened to be watched by Chu Li who was passing by. An Mu turned his head and saw Chu Li passing by, and his face suddenly darkened.

An Mu has never spoken to Chu Li since her proposal of marriage was rejected. Every time he saw her, he immediately turned away with a cold face. At this time, Chu Li saw this embarrassing scene, and his pride caused him to become a little angry. .

Wang Xiaocui noticed An Mu's face, followed his eyes and happened to see Chu Li, and her face suddenly became unhappy. However, thinking that she was going to Beijing to be an official's wife soon, while Chu Li was going to a remote mountain village in Changle County, she felt... I felt much more comfortable the next moment.

Suddenly feeling confident, he raised his chin and glanced at Chu Li provocatively, wanting to see Chu Li's jealous look.

Unfortunately, Chu Li looked indifferent, raised an eyebrow and left.

Wang Xiaocui suddenly felt like she was holding back her breath...

-

Su Baimo held Chu Li's arm and said with a gossipy look on her face, "Chu Li, do you think that after An Mu passes the exam, will he keep his promise and marry Wang Xiaocui?

I don’t think he will marry. When he gets to Beijing, there will definitely be many wealthy families willing to make him their son-in-law...

However, if he doesn't marry, I'm afraid it will be true. Being scolded as ungrateful is a trivial matter, and it may ruin his future. He has to marry if he doesn't want to, right? "

Chu Li sneered in her heart. According to the original plot, An Mu didn't even marry the original owner after paying so much, but just made her a concubine. In the end, she was sent to a brothel and tortured to death.

Everyone in the capital praised An Mu and Shen Jiao's love. No one mentioned the original owner's sacrifice, and no one scolded An Mu for being ungrateful.

Because An Mu spread a lot of rumors in advance, everyone in the capital only knew that the original owner was a shameless slut who insisted on following An Mu. No one knew that without her efforts, An Mu wouldn't even have the money to go to Beijing to take the exam.

In addition, a talented man paired with a beautiful woman is a good story that everyone wants to see, and the fact that a country girl dreamed of becoming the wife of the number one scholar naturally became the laughing stock of everyone.

An ambitious person like An Mu would never let himself marry a village girl...

-

On the way, Chu Li bought some daily necessities, wooden barrels, buckets, pots and pans, etc...

Soon, a few people arrived at the rented courtyard. After unloading their luggage and packing up, Su Baimo hurried to the kitchen to boil water.

After boiling the water, Su Baimo called Chu Li, "Chu Li, you wash it first, and I'll boil another pot."

Chu Li was not polite. She hadn't taken a hot bath for a long time, so she quickly took off her clothes and soaked in it comfortably.
