I'm taking the imperial examinations in Liaozhai

"No, we already have Xiao Jiu for washing and cooking. Xiao Hezi, if you take her in, that little fox will definitely come and cry with you," Meng Zhang said.

"Are you?" Yan Ruyu asked.

Meng Zhang has been recuperating recently, because he had been separated from his body and soul for too long before, and he needs to adjust.In addition, although the wound on his soul has been healed, there are still old wounds on his body.

When he was fighting with Hou back then, he was already injured, but before healed, he was struck by lightning to add to the injury.Afterwards, without a soul, a body that has lost its sanity will definitely not take the initiative to heal injuries. Many injuries cannot be healed only by the body's own healing ability.Coupled with the fact that he always fought with people later, his hidden wounds left even more.If Qinglong's body was not strong enough, he would definitely not be able to hold on.

Most of the reason why Meng Zhang couldn't change back to human form was because of these hidden injuries.In order to treat these old injuries, he has recently been recuperating with kung fu, and he is reluctant to leave Ji Zihe, so most of the time he "sleeps" in Ji Zihe's arms.

Yan Ruyu's arrival didn't affect Meng Zhang, anyway, he was just a little monster, and he didn't bother to take care of it if it didn't threaten Xiao Hezi.

But what he heard just now, this ugly monster actually wanted to follow Xiao Hezi, it was wishful thinking!His family's Xiaohezi is full of merit and good luck, this ugly monster doesn't even look at his appearance, but wants to come and rub his blessings by Xiaohezi's side, dreaming, anyone can rub his family's Xiaohezi's blessing of it?Tolerating a miscellaneous-haired fox is enough, don't let him tolerate another ugly monster!

"I'm the closest person to Xiao Hezi." Meng Zhang raised his chin.

Yan Ruyu murmured in her heart, the closest person.She had met Lord Ji before. At that time, he was clearly a human being. Now that he has become a monk, that wouldn't even change his species. Could it be that he is Lord Ji's half-brother?

"This is bone...Meng Zhang." Ji Zihe remembered Qinglong's real name, so it's better to call him by his real name to the outside world.

"So it's Mr. Meng. You misunderstood me. I'm an elf in the book, and I don't know how to do laundry and cooking." Yan Ruyu said.

"You don't even know how to wash and cook, so what's the use of you!" Meng Zhang said disgustedly.

"Not all women in the world know these trivial things."

Meng Zhang spit out a puff of air from his nose, the little book demon is quite courageous, dare to refute his words, aren't you afraid that he will slap her to death in anger?

Of course Meng Zhang knew that there were many women in the world who couldn't wash and cook.Like those noble ladies, they read no fewer books than men, and their talents are not necessarily lower than men, but they just have no place to show them.Which of the ladies who have money to study will learn how to wash and cook. They learn to be housekeepers at home. After they get married, they may have to take care of the family property. As for washing and cooking, the servants will naturally do it.

"Then tell me, what skills do you have? We don't support people who live on nothing." Meng Zhang narrowed his eyes, "You can't do demons either."

"Like the elves in Yu Nai's book, they know the things in the world's books. Books can make people wise. Master Ji, you are going to take up a post soon. How can you lose an assistant?" Yan Ruyu looked at Ji Zihe confidently, Regardless of Meng Zhang's hostility.The banshee has already seen that Meng Zhang is just a paper tiger in front of Ji Zihe, so there is no need to be afraid.

Ji Zihe hesitated, "That being said, madam, you are a woman after all, following me will damage your reputation."

He is an unmarried man who is surrounded by a woman. Even if this woman is a bit ugly, it is inevitable that he will be gossiped about.

"My lord, worry too much. Ruyu is a book demon, how can books be divided into men and women."

"What does this mean?" Ji Zihe wondered, if Yan Ruyu was not a woman, how could she give birth to Lang Yuzhu's child?

"My lord, wait a moment." Yan Ruyu made seals on her hands, and saw that her figure began to elongate, and soon changed from a woman's slenderness to a man's toughness, her chest became flat, and her face became more prominent. Angular, Adam's apple appeared on his neck, no one would regard him as a woman no matter what.

"Ma'am, is this a blindfold?" As a well-informed person, Ji Zihe said that he must not panic... Damn, this doesn't look like a blindfold!

Ji Zihe suddenly remembered that a long, long time ago, before he realized that he had crooked thoughts about his brother, someone told him about his marriage.That time it was settled and a dowry was about to be given, but it was heard that a meteorite fell from the sky and hit the girl, and the girl became a pure man.He was a little skeptical at first, Ji Zihe had never seen that girl before, but such a thing as a woman turning into a man is really weird, isn't it something the woman made up to regret her marriage?But now that someone really performed a female-to-male scene in front of him, Ji Zihe was really a little surprised, so such strange things really do happen!

"No, books don't have gender. I used to look like a woman, but I became a woman because I was moved by Lang Yuzhu. I wasn't called Yan Ruyu at first, but since ancient times, literati have called me a lot, so I took this name. Ji Your Excellency does not need to call me Madam, I am already destined to be with Lang Sheng, and I have nothing to do with him. Now that Yan is a completely different person, since he has read the books of sages, he should do benevolent and righteous deeds. Yan is willing to follow Your Excellency and help him become a generation of good officials."

Seeing that Ji Zihe was moved by him, Meng Zhang hurriedly said again, "No, you are too ugly, I won't be able to eat when I see you."

"Bones, don't be rude and make trouble!" Ji Zihe scolded, how could he expose his scars in front of others.

Meng Zhang hummed twice, knowing that Ji Zihe's mind could not be changed, his paws loosened, and he retracted into Ji Zihe's robe and began to sulk.

"My lord, you don't have to worry about my appearance. These are all injured by Fan Huo. After Yan recovers from his injuries, he will be able to return to his original appearance." Yan Ruyu said.

Ji Zihe nodded, what reason did he have to refuse.Just as he was about to say something, suddenly, he bowed his body, his complexion changed, and his face turned red.

"What's wrong, my lord?" Yan Ruyu asked hurriedly.

Ji Zihe sat up straight as if enduring something, forced a smile on his face, "It's nothing, since you are willing to follow me, then take office with me in a few days. It's getting late, go back and rest, I'm watching Can book."

"Thank you, my lord, then I will take my leave first." Yan Ruyu is an understanding beauty, so she can naturally see Ji Zihe's inconvenience.He stopped bothering, and closed the door thoughtfully when he left.

As soon as Yan Ruyu left, Ji Zihe jumped up in a disfigured manner, pulled off his clothes, and was about to grab the little dragon on his chest.

Unexpectedly, that shameless little dragon insisted that Qingshan would not let go, Ji Zihe didn't pull him out, but the little Doudou on his chest was hurt by being pulled.

"You, let go!" Ji Zihe blushed and shouted at Meng Zhang.

Meng Zhang flicked his tail triumphantly, and looked at Ji Zihe provocatively while biting the little Doudou in his mouth.

Hmph, bad boy, that Yan Ruyu is a great beauty who has been admired by literati since ancient times, did you take him in, did you have some crooked thoughts?Meng Zhang thought sourly, and the force on his mouth became a little bit heavier.

"Brother, I was wrong, it hurts, let go." Ji Zihe begged in a low voice, "Think about it, when I take office, I will definitely need a trustworthy assistant to help me with my affairs, after all, I don't know what is there The situation. I will definitely listen to you in the future, and I will not recruit people randomly, will you let it go?"

Meng Zhang groaned and chirped a few times, then let go of his mouth mercifully, and let Ji Zihe's little Doudou go.

Ji Zihe looked at Xiao Doudou, who was full of saliva and swollen a lot, and then looked at Xiao Qinglong, whose face was full of satisfaction, baring a mouthful of small teeth at him, and immediately turned his face, and tightened his clothes.

He will be a stick if he puts the little green dragon in his clothes in the future.

After staying at home for a few more days, his grandfather was away, and Ji Zihe had nothing to worry about, so he began to think about going to Ning'an County to take up his post in advance.

Ning Caichen's two children were included in the Ning family's genealogy, named after them, and held a banquet.When Ji Zihe went, my aunt said that she and her uncle didn't want to leave with Ning Caichen, they didn't want to travel around, and there was still business in their hometown, and there were members of the Ning family, so they couldn't bear to leave.

The relationship in the Ning clan is closer than that in the Ji clan, and Ning Caichen doesn't force it.He is still a small magistrate now, maybe he will be transferred again in a few years, and he doesn't want the second elder to follow him back and forth.

That being the case, Ji Zihe handed over the old house and land to his aunt to take care of, and asked her to write a letter to tell him if her grandfather came back.

Of course Ji Zihe didn't just wait for his grandfather to come back, he also went to the underworld and issued a reward in the underworld.Whoever can help him find his grandfather will burn incense paper money worth 1000 taels of silver.

1000 taels is not a small sum. Ji Zihe got 3000 taels of silver from Ding Zaichang at the beginning, but after so long, it was only a drop in the bucket.Paper money is already cheap, and you can buy a lot of it for a tael of silver, let alone 1000 taels.The specialty of the underworld is poor ghosts. The entire underworld was shocked to see such a large bounty. This young master of the underworld must have done too much.

There are many ghosts who want to get rewards, but none can find old man Ji.Even though the news of the reward had spread to the lonely ghosts in Yangjian, no one could take the money away, which made Ji Zihe very disappointed.

Disappointment is disappointment, but there is still hope.Ji Zihe hung the reward there, hoping that someday someone would come to take the money away.

Although the Ji clan is not as close as the Ning clan, Ji Zihe has to do some good things for the clan and neighbors after being admitted to Jinshi.It just so happened that Ning Caichen was also worried about this, and planned to set up an ethnology school for the children of the clan to study.Ji Zihe approached him and offered half of the money to co-operate with him. When it was completed, the children of Ji's family and Daohe Village could also come to school here.

After everything was done and there was no worries, Ji Zihe started to pack his things and get ready to take office.

Originally, Ji Zihe was still thinking about whether he should hire a guide, but he didn't know where Ning'an County was.Huang Jiulang jumped out on the spot and said he knew.

Ning An County is located in Quang Binh Province, and he has a distant relative named Xin who lives there.The Xin family has nineteen daughters. Some time ago, he received an invitation from the eldest sister of the Xin family. Maybe when they go to Ning'an County, they can still have the full moon wine of the eighth child of the eldest sister of the Xin family.

Ji Zihe never doubted how many relatives Huang Jiulang had. He always felt that his relatives could be found all over the country.Now that Huang Jiulang knew the way, Ji Zihe and the others didn't waste any time. After saying goodbye to relatives and friends, Ji Zihe and his party set off for Ning'an County.
