After receiving the recommendation letter, Chen Mu didn't bother to pay attention to the contempt and ridicule of the group of people behind him, and walked straight out the door.
When he came to the door, he thought about it and turned around and asked: "Shopkeeper Hu, do you know what the purpose of this son of the county magistrate wants this painting?"
Hu Tuo snorted coldly: "What else can a man do if he wants this thing? It must be given to a woman. Don't write nonsense when the time comes and you will be beaten to death by the officials."
After hearing this, Chen Mu immediately understood. He ignored the cynicism and turned around to salute with clasped fists.
"Thank you."
After saying that, he walked away.
A group of people continued to ridicule and ridicule Chen Mu for his actions, and finally couldn't figure out where a person who had never been born as a child could find the courage to go to the Yamen.
But Hutuo was the only one standing there, staring at the figure from behind.
"This kid..."
Even though he was still in shabby condition, his aura seemed to have changed for some reason. Could it be that he beat him up that day and cured his madness?
Chen Mu bought some more pork in the city. When he got home, the sun had just set.
At the end of the day, the eldest brother and Liu Si chopped a pile of wood and displayed it in front of the house.
Seeing Chen Mu come back, Chen Jianghe put down the saw and said with a smile: "When enough wood has been cut, I will ask the folks in the village to come over and help me. You will come back tomorrow and buy more meat."
This is how it is in the countryside. If a family needs help with something, they don't need to give money. They can just treat them to a nice meal with good wine and food. In contrast, the people in the countryside should be more simple and honest.
Looking at the tree trunks lying on the ground, Chen Mu patted Chen Jianghe on the shoulder: "Brother, just do something about it. We can't stay in this ravine forever."
Hearing this, Chen Jianghe was stunned at first, but then he smiled and said: "But after all, it was this poor valley that raised us. Even if we don't live in it, we have to keep the old house. I heard our father said before that the location of this old house is perfect.
The Yangtze River's Longzi veins are not guaranteed to be intact, and an emperor will be born in the future."
At this point, the two of them looked at each other and smiled.
After all, he is not from this world, so Chen Mu has no concept of nostalgia.
"Chen Mu is back?"
At this moment, Liu Si heard the sound and came out. Now that she has meat to eat, her complexion is much better than before. She no longer looks like before, especially her eyes...etc.
Xu Yan took a look and realized that Liu Si's eyebrows were as thick as those of Zhang Fei and Li Kui.
Liu Si obviously noticed his eyes, and his pretty face flushed, and then he said softly: "I tried to apply the ink pen that my elder brother gave me yesterday..."
Hearing this, Chen Mu understood, but when he thought of that pencil, his heart suddenly lit up.
Along the way, he had been thinking hard about how to get these thirty taels of silver. Now Chen Mu patted his thigh and finally had a way!
After dinner, it was getting dark. The elder brother sawed a lot of boards during the day and built two beds. After all, it was inconvenient, so he went to the kitchen next door to rest temporarily. There was no need to squeeze together tonight.
Having nothing to do, he went to bed early. Taking advantage of the candlelight in front of the table, Chen Mu looked at this pencil. As long as he had this thing, he would be at least seven levels sure of earning the thirty taels of silver.
I will go directly to the county government office early tomorrow morning. This is my chance to make a comeback.
Chen Mu took advantage of the firelight and looked through Zhongyong for a while. In ancient imperial examinations, except for the eight-legged essay, most of the questions tested came from the Four Books and Five Classics.
My memory is already extraordinary, so as long as I memorize these things and take the children's test, there won't be much of a problem.
Not long after, Liu Si, who was taking a shower in the corner, finally finished.
As a tub of bath water poured out of the door, Liu Simi walked naked towards the bed as soon as the door was closed.
Chen Mucai was about to blow out the lamp, but when he saw her half-smiling expression under the candlelight, an ominous premonition arose spontaneously.
As soon as the lights went out, Chen Mu coughed coldly, and quickly rolled up the quilt regardless of the summer heat.
"Ahem, I'm a little tired today. It's time to go early..."
Before she could finish her words, Liu Si slithered in like a water snake and then pressed on top of her.
Although Liu Si is a little thinner, her body proportions are very good. She often does farm work on weekdays. Unlike the woman in her previous life, she was as weak and boneless as a cat in her arms.
She pressed it tightly against her abdomen. Except for his chest, she could clearly feel a sense of strength in every part of his body, and there seemed to be even a vest line on his abdomen.
During the day, Chen Mu was the head of the family, but in bed, he was the prey at his mercy, and Liu Si was the hunter.
Liu Si breathed into her ear and whispered, "The bed won't collapse today. I think I want to give you a baby."
The original owner was not very active and was very weak. At this time, he was restrained by Liu Si and could not move. He had met so many women, and this was the first time he had been so passive.
However, at this time, there was a kind of psychological pleasure of passive invasion. It was also the first time that Chen Mu experienced how a woman felt in this situation.
"Daughter-in-law...Daughter-in-law, let's calm down, my eldest brother is next door, I...I'm shy!"
After all, this is her daughter's house. If her brother really hears it, how will she see anyone in the future? However, after enduring it for more than twenty years, Liu Si doesn't want to let Chen Mu go just like that.
"This... Brother shouldn't be able to hear it, right?"
"The house will be repaired in a few days, my wife, in a few days, in a few days, okay?"
Liu Si hesitated for a moment, snorted coldly, and finally let Chen Mu go.
When everything calmed down, Chen Mu secretly sighed. It wasn't because he was being reserved, but mainly because Liu Si's momentum was too strong, and he was already very tired. Once the night started, more than once or twice, he had to put himself aside.
He won't stop until he's finished eating.
If it affects the ability to do business tomorrow, the gain will outweigh the loss.
That was the end of the night. Early the next morning, the eldest brother and Liu Si picked up their things and headed into the mountain again.
As for Chen Mu, he picked up his pencil and walked to Yelang City.
The county government office is the highest power center in Yelang County. The official position of county magistrate is equivalent to the position of modern county magistrate.
Although he was a green-robed official of the eighth grade, his power was not comparable to that of a modern county magistrate. All political and economic affairs were controlled by the county magistrate alone.
In a place like Yelang County that is far away from the center of dynasty power, the magistrate is equivalent to a local emperor, and life and death are all in his hands.
Chen Mu looked at the magistrate's office in front of him. It was similar to what he saw on TV. It had high red walls and two stone lions in front of the door. It was very majestic.
In front of the door stood two Zaoban yamen servants with plain knives on their waists. They looked like they had kidney deficiency on their faces. They were obviously two people who often went to work and fished for food.
"Hey, good morning, both of you."
Seeing the person coming, the two of them looked at each other warily: "What's the matter?"
Chen Mu took out the recommendation letter from his bag: "I heard that the young master of the county magistrate is looking for a pen and ink, so I came here to try it out."
The two of them opened the recommendation letter and took a look at it. When they saw Hu Tuo's signature on it, they nodded: "It turns out that Hu Tuo recommended me here. Come with me."
The county government office is where the chief officials work. As the government officials led the way, Chen Mu once again came to the door of a mansion.
After entering the door, two people came out of the house, both wearing coarse linen clothes. They were obviously servants, but they still carried one person out.
Judging from his straight attire, he must be a scholar, but there is a very conspicuous slap mark on his face, as if he was slapped to death.
Chen Mu suddenly realized something was wrong, but he still asked: "What...is this going on?"
The yamen officer glanced at the people who were left on the street, and then said calmly: "At least a hundred people have come here during this period, and they all made some useless vulgar words, and they were beaten by the young master?"
Chen Mu touched his face involuntarily, and then smiled bitterly: "You...you young master, you have quite strong hands."
