I'm taking the imperial examinations in Liaozhai

Chen Mo'er looked at the girl in the school field with some envy, that's great, if only she could be that good.In that case, she would be able to steal her heart back from the Taoist priest, and she would be homesick.

The wooden man was lying on the wall, as if cast a shadow.

Rong Ge, who was being congratulated by his colleagues on the school grounds, seemed to have noticed something, and glanced at the wall, just in time to meet Chen Mo'er's gaze, and Chen Mo'er froze in fright.

But soon, Chen Mo'er realized that she felt very stupid.She is now a wooden figure, she has not even carved her face, where did her eyes come from.The staring at each other just now must be her one-sided feeling. No matter how powerful Rong Ge is, he can't tell where the eyes are.

Chen Mo'er comforted herself in this way, relaxed, and remained motionless, honestly pretending to be a wooden figure.

The fact seems to be true, Rong Ge only took a few glances and then looked away, and never looked at the courtyard wall again.

After passing the assessment, Ji Zihe announced that Rong Ge would be the female arrester of their yamen in the future, and then handed over the rest to Huang Jiulang, who wanted to be courteous, and left to go back to handle official duties.

As soon as the county magistrate left, the yamen servants also left the school grounds after congratulating Rong Ge.After all, the new colleague is a woman, and a group of big men can't let go of them, and they don't have the nerve to talk to her.

Huang Jiulang ran up to Rong Ge excitedly, "Sister Rong, congratulations."

Rong Ge rarely showed a shallow smile, "It's thanks to you giving me such a chance."

Huang Jiulang scratched his head in embarrassment, "I can't thank me all, if you weren't so good, the master might not have hired you as a catcher."

"No matter what, I still want to thank you."

Huang Jiulang didn't know what to think of, blushed, and said coyly, "Then, can you give me some rewards."

The smile on Rong Ge's face froze for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Then let me treat you to dinner."

"Ah?" Huang Jiulang raised his head, a little confused, "No, I..."

"Why, don't you want to?"

Huang Jiulang instantly became depressed, and said rather reluctantly, "Yes."

"That's good, I owe you a favor this time." Rong Ge paused for a moment, then said, "Xiao Jiu, I have always treated you as my younger brother, do you understand?"

"But I don't want to be a younger brother." Huang Jiulang muttered softly.

Rong Ge pretended not to hear, and said, "Then, can I go now?"

"Oh, that's right. Let's go, I'll take you to get the official uniform, and you also need to know about the arrests. The master is so unreasonable, he actually made you the same as those smelly male arrests , but also to patrol the streets. Fortunately, there are more arrests in the county government, and the workload is not too heavy. Let me tell you, when the flower pickers were troubled a while ago, the master was very ruthless, and all the arrests had to work overtime on patrol. People's eye circles are all black, as if they went out in the middle of the night to be a thief, but fortunately they were caught in the end..." Huang Jiulang walked in front and happily talked about the yamen, Rong Ge followed him and listened quietly, He neither spoke nor interrupted.

Huang Jiulang took Rong Ge around the county government office, familiarized himself with the work of the policeman, and gave her a set of policeman's clothes, and even wanted to invite her to the cafeteria to taste Uncle Gao's craftsmanship.

It's a pity that Uncle Gao didn't open his mouth today, and let Uncle Zhang, who feeds the horse, handle the spoon instead.Because Uncle Gao's grandson was beaten by Rong Ge, yes, that's right, Xiao Gao, who was beaten into a pig's head by Rong Ge before, is Uncle Gao's grandson, and he is accompanying that kid in the medical center right now.

"I should go back," Rong Ge said.

"Then I'll send you off." Huang Jiulang also knew that she was worried about her mother, so he didn't try to persuade her to stay, and kept sending her out of the yamen, still reluctant to turn around.

"Okay, you go back." Rong Ge said.

"Okay." Huang Jiulang handed the uniform in his hand to Rong Ge, "Sister Rong, the master said that you can come to the Yamen tomorrow to be on duty, and he also knows your family's situation, and said that this month he can give you daily Settle the salary."

"Thank you, master, for me." Rong Ge took the uniform over.

Huang Jiulang grabbed the corner of his clothes, and asked a little awkwardly, "Sister Rong, what's wrong with me?"

Rong Ge didn't expect Huang Jiulang to ask so bluntly, he paused, and said, "There is nothing wrong with you."

"Why, can't you like me?" Huang Jiulang asked.He understands why he doesn't want to get married now, it's just an excuse, and mortals like to reject people like this.

"You are fine, but you are not suitable to be my husband. I can't accept a husband like a child, and I don't have the energy to take care of others." Rong Ge lowered his eyes to hide the tiredness in his eyes.

"I don't need your care, I'm already an adult."

"That's just what you think." Rong Ge said calmly, "I'm not saying that you are so bad, in fact, I hope your eyes can be so clean forever. Once, I was no different from you, only later I found out , the reason why my eyes are so clean is that someone propped up the sky for me so that I can live a carefree life, but now that person is gone."

"Xiao Jiu, there's nothing wrong with having a childlike heart, it's just that it doesn't suit me now. Thank you for doing me a big favor, and I will find a way to repay you in the future."

"But I don't want to repay, I also want you to give me a chance." Huang Jiulang pleaded with his eyes turning red as he spoke.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to hurt you, but I have to reject you." Rong Ge raised his eyes, and his eyes were a little colder, "You have also seen what happened today. When I stood on the school field, everyone They are belittling me, because they think I am just a woman who is useless and will only drag you down. And when I won the competition and showed the strength to beat them, all of their attitudes changed. Because they recognized me strength, so no one dares to say that I am a woman."

"Xiao Jiu, this world is cruel. Without strength, you can't keep anything."

After Rong Ge finished speaking, he ignored Huang Jiulang and left with his clothes in his arms.

Huang Jiulang stood there blankly, thinking about Rong Ge's last words all the time.I don't know how long it took before I walked towards the yamen in a daze.Although the corners of the eyes were still red, no more tears flowed down.

When Rong Ge returned to his rented house, he happened to meet Gu Xiucai knocking on his door.Her mother was deaf and couldn't hear anyone knocking on the door, so she didn't open the door for Gu Xiucai.

When Rong Ge faced this Gu Xiucai, he put on a cold face and said sternly, "What are you doing here?"

Gu Xiucai was a little puzzled, he had never done anything wrong to Miss Rong, why did Miss Rong always act like she rejected him?

"I heard from my mother that when she came to visit your house, she found that you had no rice, so she asked me to bring some." Gu Xiucai weighed the bulging cloth bag in his hand and said.

Rong Ge's face softened, he took the bag and said, "Thank you, I have found a job, and I will return it to you when I get paid tomorrow."

"Don't worry, you can pay it back anytime. Anyway, it's just a little rice, so it doesn't matter if you don't pay it back." Gu Xiucai said with a smile.

"It has to be returned. After all, we are not relatives or relatives, so you have no obligation to give me anything. If there is nothing else, you can go back first, and I won't send you off."

"Oh, good." Gu Xiucai felt that her face was hot and her butt was cold, and she also felt that it was boring, so she walked home with her arms behind her back.In my heart, what the sage said is true, but it is difficult to raise a woman and a villain.

Rong Ge ignored the scholar and threw a stone into the yard.After a while, there was a sound from the door. An old lady was lying in the crack of the door and looking outside, Rong Ge stood at the door openly and let her look at her.

The old man is deaf, and his eyesight is actually not very good. After looking at it for a long time, he opened the door, "It's Jin'er who is back, come in quickly."

"Mother, my name is Rong Ge now, not Jin'er, please don't make a mistake in front of outsiders." Rong Ge entered the yard, closed the door, and said slowly word by word.

The old lady carefully identified the shape of Rong Ge's mouth, understood what she was talking about, and said with a smile, "I know, I know, my daughter is now called Xiaoge, and I can't make a mistake."

Rong Ge also didn't correct her mother, telling her that the Ge in her name was the Ge of Bing Ge, not the pigeon of some pigeon.It's not that she doesn't want to correct it, but that she can't correct it.The old lady is illiterate, so how does she know which pigeon is the bird of the war, and which pigeon is the pigeon? Anyway, the calls are not all the same, so what to care about so much.

After letting his mother into the house to rest, Rong Ge went into the kitchen with the rice.Rong Ge didn't do odd jobs today because he was looking for a new job.There were only some wilted vegetables left in the house. If it wasn't for the food that Gu Xiucai sent, Rong Ge would have to worry about the food, after all, he would only be paid tomorrow.

It's not that Rong Ge doesn't want to go hunting and sell money, it's mainly because she's afraid of revealing her identity during the day, and she has to inquire about news, so she doesn't have much free time.At night, the city gates are closed, and you cannot enter and exit at will. If you leave early, you will have to spend the night outside. She is worried about her old mother.

Gu Xiucai didn't give much food, so he definitely couldn't let go of his stomach to eat, so he could only cook porridge.Rong Ge took out some, put them in a wooden basin, and carried them to the well in the courtyard to wash the rice.As soon as I poured a bucket of water into the basin, a big lump of soil fell from the sky and fell into the basin, causing a big splash. .

With a cold face, Rong Ge quickly threw the lump out of the soil before it melted away.Unexpectedly, another lump of soil fell into the basin, and the splash of water wet Rong Ge's clothes.

"You're never finished." Rong Ge raised his head and looked at the boy sitting on the wall of his courtyard.

"Hey, stinky woman, stay away from Mr. Gu and stop pestering him!" The handsome young man looked at Rong Ge and shouted.

"Are you Gu Xiucai's child molester?" Rong Ge asked.

The young man shouted as if his tail was stepped on, "No, I am Mr. Gu's sweetheart. You shameless woman, stop pestering Mr. Gu, he won't take a fancy to you!"

"When did I pester him?"

"If you hadn't pestered him, why would he always come to you and give you rice." Young Lang jumped into Rong Ge's yard, looking at her like a little vixen seducing her husband .
