In the eighteenth year of the Ming Dynasty, on the twelfth day of the sixth lunar month, the maid Qin Mo Sheng came to the Yanshen Temple to serve.
As soon as it dawned, the whole Yanzhou City became lively and the streets were crowded with people.
Today is the day when Qin Mo Sheng enters the Yan Temple to serve, and it is also regarded as a sacred day by all the people in Yanzhou City.
Countless people poured into the gate of the city lord's mansion, and countless people from outside the city came after hearing the news.
As soon as Chenshi arrived, Qin Mo Sheng took two maids and walked out of the Qin Mansion.
All officials in Yanzhou City personally greeted him.
The ceremonial team played music, and countless people lined up to follow. The momentum was unprecedented.
At the sixth hour of the hour, Qin Mo Sheng went to the Flame God Temple to pay homage to the Flame God, and made an oath to serve the Flame God for the rest of his life.
But the people were reluctant to leave and were extremely pious.
"Miss Qin's entry into the Flame Temple will also be a great help to Magistrate Qin."
"Isn't that right? Even if His Majesty does not grant a marriage, in the hearts of the people, Miss Qin is already identified as Mrs. Eyes. Even if the God of Fire does not appear, relying on this relationship, Qin Prefecture will have a prosperous official career."
"That guy Bai Yan, he thinks that he has obtained the title and founded the academy, which is great. Compared with Miss Qin and the Qin family, he can't reach the level of elegance at all."
Some merchants and officials were talking a lot.
Looking at Magistrate Qin's expression as if he were fresh in spring breeze, he knew that Qin Mo Sheng's behavior had brought many benefits.
Today, many officials are here, but Qin Zhifu kills everyone instantly and becomes the center of the crowd.
Magistrate Qin stood in the crowd, very satisfied and proud of everyone's performance.
Serving in the Flame Temple is an honor that not everyone has.
His future path will surely be smooth.
I am relying on the love and popularity of the people to get promoted again, but I am afraid that time is running out.
After the ceremony was completely over, Magistrate Qin cleared his throat and said, "This is my daughter's business alone, so I have really troubled you all. Now that the ceremony is over, I won't bother you all anymore."
"I'll take my leave."
A group of businessmen and senior officials asked for orders to leave.
Chu Jian said hello and was about to leave, but was stopped by Magistrate Qin: "Senior Brother, Junior Brother, I have to thank you very much. You have helped me a lot."
Ridiculing me? Chu Jian snorted coldly in his heart. Why couldn't he hear it? Magistrate Qin was mocking him for letting Qin Mo Sheng come to Yanshen Temple.
"This is a matter of duty, junior brother, you're welcome." Chu Jian responded calmly.
"Senior brother has a heart for the world, and his structure and courage are superior to mine. It's just that senior brother lacks much concern for his children." Magistrate Qin said.
"Oh? Junior brother, what do you mean by this?" Chu Jian asked back.
"Senior brother, yesterday Bai Yan slept with the courtesan's wife. This matter is known to the whole city. Isn't it possible that senior brother doesn't know about it?" Prefect Qin reminded him.
"I've heard a little bit that it's not a sin for Bai Yan to be romantic when he was young." Chu Jian responded.
How could he not hear about it? It’s just that he didn’t care at all.
Which one of those young men is not romantic? When they were young, they were like this, how could they ask their descendants? As long as they don't make too big a fuss, it's all a trivial matter.
"Senior brother, can you hear that there is something wrong with Bai Yan's health? I don't want to say whether Xiang Ning is happy in her marriage, but I'm afraid that Bai Yan's bad health will affect her fertility. If she has no children, it will be troublesome." Qin Zhifu said.
Chu Jian's face was solemn, and he heard it.
If there is really something wrong with the body and the child cannot be born, the woman will be blamed in the end.
The Daqian Dynasty favored sons over daughters. If there were no children by their side, even a real wife would not be able to sit still.
Magistrate Qin was overjoyed, secretly thinking something was going on, and hurriedly said: "Senior brother, I watched Xiang Ning grow up, and I really don't want her to jump into the fire pit. I do have a candidate here, but I don't know if senior brother is willing to listen to me. ?”
"Don't you mean Qi Wenjie?"
"No, although Wenjie is talented, he is not worthy of senior brother's daughter. Has senior brother considered letting Xiang Ning marry the God of Fire? Although he cannot become the main wife, the dignity of the God of Fire is no less than that of the God of Fire. Your Majesty, it is not a loss if Xiang Ning marries you." Qin Zhifu said seriously.
This is what he came up with after thinking about it all night last night.
Although Chu Jian embarrassed him, he still didn't want to fall out with Chu Jian.
Moreover, by marrying Yan Shen as a concubine, Chu Xiangning was looking down on Qin Mo Sheng, so Chu Jian was looking down on him, which was considered revenge.
When Chu Jian heard this, he almost laughed out loud.
"Junior brother, you think too much. How can you, the prefect, make the final decision on Yan Shen's marriage? Instead of wasting your thoughts on this, you might as well think of a way to find Yan Shen." Chu Jian snorted coldly, He walked away with a puff of his sleeves.
Marrying the God of Fire? Chu Xiangning will never think of marrying the God of Fire in this life.
"I hope you don't come back to beg me." Qin Zhifu sneered and didn't care.
As long as Qin Mosheng really married Yan Yan, he believed that Chu Jian would definitely come back to beg him.
He called his attendants and headed back home.
When I returned home, I was informed that Ma Wencai, the owner of Wanqian Bank, had been waiting for a long time.
"Ma Wencai? It's interesting. He has been ignoring me before, but now he comes to see me. Since he is the archrival of the Bai family, let's call him."
Magistrate Qin gave an order and sat down in the main hall to wait.
Even if Ma Wencai doesn't look for him, he still wants to win over Ma Wencai.
He was born in a grassroots family, and even if he was promoted to prefect, he was still short of money.
With the support of the Bai family before, he had never worried about money. But now that he has broken up with the Bai family and is now looking for silver rewards everywhere, his pocket has long been in danger.
Ma Wencai took the initiative to send it to the door, how could he not see it?
Soon, Ma Wencai arrived with Ma Daye. After some greetings, they each took their seats.
"Sir Qin, it's a bit presumptuous for the common people to come here today, please forgive me," Ma Wencai said.
"Boss Ma, you're too polite. If you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly," Magistrate Qin responded.
"Now that Lord Qin has said this, I will get straight to the point. I have a letter here that I want to send to Magistrate Qin." Ma Wencai sent a letter.
"Boss Ma, are you trying to bribe me?" Magistrate Qin suddenly became displeased.
He thought there was a banknote in the envelope. If word got out, he would step down in a minute.
"Master Qin, this is a letter from my master to Master Qin. I would also like to ask Master Qin to read it." Ma Wencai's expression did not change.
Only then did Magistrate Qin open the envelope. After reading it, his expression became extremely solemn.
He said solemnly: "Why choose me?"
"Master Qin, my uncle wants to open a college in Yanzhou City, but he can't show up in person. And I am a businessman and have no reputation. It is really inappropriate to open a college, so I can only ask your Excellency to come forward and open it officially. It has good reputation. Only then can we be guaranteed. Now that you are so popular, the establishment of the college will definitely be accepted by the people. Moreover, if the college is successfully opened, it will also be your credit." Ma Wencai said seriously.
