Chapter 29: There are women in the government who are difficult to marry
After dinner, except for the old people who have nothing to do and like to stroll around, the remaining middle-aged people are still used to enjoying the cool air in their own yards. After all, it is rare to be quiet after a busy day.
Li Longqian and the strong man were sitting in the courtyard, looking at the stars in the sky, talking to each other about household matters.
After getting to know more about it, Li Longqian realized that this strong man was not a local but just moved here later. As for his name, the man did not say his full name. He only said "Brother Zhang". Li Longqian was originally
Li Longqian was not a person who wanted to get to the bottom of things, so he didn't ask further questions since people didn't want to tell him.
"Brother Zhang is also a martial arts practitioner?" Li Longqian asked, looking at the scars on the strong man's tiger's mouth.
"I practiced for a few years without much success, but then I still started working as a blacksmith. Although martial arts is good, it's useless if you can't support your family." The strong man bared his teeth and replied. Although he looked far from handsome,
But the face full of vicissitudes of life and perseverance can be regarded as somewhat manly.
"Practice martial arts, either to strengthen your body or for revenge. If you want to make a fortune by practicing martial arts, you will definitely not be good at martial arts and you will not be a good person. There are thousands of jobs in the world that can support a family of three, but this is the only one.
Practicing martial arts is the hardest."
Although this sentence was spoken by Li Longqian, it was not Li Longqian's idea. The one who could say such ruthless words about recruiting martial arts practitioners was probably Old Man Jiang, who had read books about sages all his life and dared to say it. After all, his family
How could Old Man Jiang not feel resentful when his second daughter was taken away by those martial arts men who looked like dogs?
"Little brother, what you said makes sense." The strong man nodded slightly, then looked at his daughter, smiled, and said in a low voice: "If I hadn't had this daughter, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to understand this martial arts practice.
What's the use? I don't know why my little brother wants to learn martial arts from his master."
"Make a name for yourself, get a wife to take revenge."
"It's a big ambition. It's easy to become famous, and it's not difficult to marry a wife. But revenge is the really difficult thing. How many people in the world live for the sake of revenge, and how many people die for the sake of revenge?"
The strong man looked at the young man in front of him. For some reason, the more he looked at him, the more he felt that this young man was different from the rich boys he usually met, and he was also different from the country boy.
"There is hatred in my heart that I can never let go of. Even if I no longer have the idea of revenge, I still have the appearance of the enemy hidden in my heart. Rather than pretending to be an enemy for the rest of my life, it is better to end it happily." Li Longqian touched himself.
With the wooden sword in his hand, he suddenly stood up and faced the slightly chilly evening breeze. His green shirt fluttered in the wind, and he muttered: "Everything in the world, big or small, cannot be solved by death."
"You are so young that you don't know how thin your spring clothes are, and a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers." The strong man looked at Li Longqian and smiled slightly, and the trace of Jianghu aura in his heart that had not been evoked for many years was now fully exposed.
"Brother Zhang, I have to leave tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll ask your sister-in-law to prepare more dry food for you. There aren't any valuables in the house. Otherwise, I'll tell you that even if you die, I'll have to provide you with backup expenses." The strong man shouted cheerfully.
"Forget about the money, it's all in vain, but I won't be polite about the dry food. After all, traveling is really tiring work." Li Longqian turned around and replied with a smile.
"Sure!" The strong man nodded heavily, then stood up and ran towards his wife inside the house.
The sky was filled with stars, and Li Longqian walked towards the little girl who was playing in the courtyard.
"Brother, what are you looking at?" the little girl asked, looking up at Li Longqian with big watery eyes.
"Stars." Li Longqian stared at the stars with his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth.
"What are stars? Why do they shine?" The cute little girl imitated Li Longqian's posture and looked up at the stars in the sky that seemed to be motionless, but actually never stood still.
"The stars are the eyes of God."
Li Longqian slowly sat on the ground and opened his arms towards the little girl. The little girl hesitated for a moment and then ran into Li Longqian's arms, then pulled Li Longqian's hair and asked: "Then why?"
God, do you have such eyes? They are as many as my brother’s hair.”
"Because there are more people in the world, more eyes are needed."
"Then why doesn't God want eyes during the day?" the little girl then asked.
"Because God's eyes are in people's hearts during the day, so no one will engage in illegal activities in broad daylight."
"So that's it."
The little girl nodded in understanding, then sat quietly in Li Longqian's arms and looked at the sky full of stars.
One large and one small, the two figures overlap and are reflected on the earth and under the stars.
…
Le'an City, inside the city lord's palace.
The girl in a green skirt hurriedly ran into the room of the city lord Ling Yuanzhou with steps as agile as a deer in the forest. At this time, Ling Yuanzhou was sitting at the desk reviewing and approving the documents that the officials below had just submitted.
These folds could have been made tomorrow
Look again, but Ling Yuanzhou has always been very strict with himself, both when he was a county magistrate and now as a city lord. He must read every excerpt on the same day, because Ling Yuanzhou knows that if something big goes wrong and he is delayed for a day, it may
Bigger problems will arise.
"Ahem..."
The girl in the green skirt stood next to Ling Yuanzhou. After standing for a moment, she found that Ling Yuanzhou was concentrating on reading the zhezi but had no response. She had no choice but to cough twice. After hearing the cough, Ling Yuanzhou reluctantly put down the zhezi in his hand and then looked up.
He looked at the girl next to him and asked with a smile: "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"Can't sleep." After saying this, the girl in the green skirt turned around angrily and faced Ling Yuanzhou with her back.
"I couldn't sleep, so I read the booklet with me. It's quite interesting when you look at it. Sun Zhixian said that rats often appear in their county recently, and then asked me how to solve it. Do you think it's funny?" Ling Yuanzhou actually said it.
He found the fold and handed it to the girl in the green skirt with a smile.
"Is it funny?" the girl in the green skirt asked, grinding her silver teeth and staring at Ling Yuanzhou with her big watery eyes.
"Um, isn't it funny?" Ling Yuanzhou asked the girl and she didn't know how to answer, so she had to put the fold back in embarrassment.
"Dad, your daughter is going to find someone to marry tomorrow, why don't you know how to care about me?" The girl in the green skirt turned around, with a graceful figure and an extremely beautiful face. With this light green skirt,
She is as beautiful as an elf in the deep mountains and ancient forests.
"Who can blame you? The young master of the He family has mentioned kissing him several times, but you kicked him out every time. Now that you are better, no one else dares to want you. The He family still refuses to give up.
, you said that if you didn’t hurry up and find a husband, someone outside
It is inevitable that they will talk some gossip, and besides, your marriage is uncertain, and the head of He will not give up, so I can only arrange a hydrangea for you, and whoever you are destined to be with will be the one." Ling Yuanzhou sounded a little helpless.
’s explanation.
"Dad, is it possible that your daughter looks like this and is worried about not finding a good family to marry?" The girl in the green skirt pinched her slender waist, which was just the right size, and shouted to Ling Yuanzhou with her little mouth pouted.
"There must be nothing wrong with you looking like this. Who in our Le'an City doesn't know that my daughter, Ling Yuanzhou, is a huge beauty? But as long as Head He doesn't give up, no one else will dare to enter our city lord's mansion. You
If this continues, what if you get older in a few years and can't get married?"
"You are the city lord, and he is just a small leader. Dad, why are you so afraid of him?"
"This is not the case when I was the county magistrate. The head of He was kind to me, so he agreed to marry me at that time." Ling Yuanzhou sighed helplessly.
"Dad, tell me, help me choose a good bride and groom. Who is He Zi'ang? Everyone in Le'an City doesn't know who he is. Most girls don't dare to raise their heads when they see him for fear of being raped by him.
He brought him home and ravaged him like a pet. When the brothel girl saw him, she felt like Bai Huahua.
Money is as good as money, and laughter can spread from the brothel to the city gate. If you ask your daughter to marry such a person, aren't you pushing me into the fire pit?" The girl in the green skirt seemed to be even more angry after hearing this baby kiss.
, with a pretty face, she spoke to Ling Yuanzhou in a lively and eloquent manner about the person they said they wanted to kiss, He Ziang.
"Who knows how this child became like this? Although Head He's family is not a scholarly family, it has a small reputation in the world. Whoever meets him will not tell him that Head He is a loyal person, but why?
If you gave birth to such an unreasonable and confused thing like He Ziang, if he knew something, you two would have been married long ago, why wait until such an embarrassing scene today." Speaking of this, Ling Yuanzhou's face was full of hatred.
"I don't think that Mr. He is a good thing. Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the mice's children can dig holes. The upper beams are not straight and the lower beams are crooked. These are all left by the ancients. They can't be wrong."
"He gave birth to a bastard son and wanted his bastard son to marry me. He's just bothering me, and he's also getting in the way of my big business!" the girl in green replied slightly arrogantly.
"Hey." Ling Yuanzhou looked at his daughter and shook his head helplessly. Ling Yuanzhou really had nothing to do about his daughter's marriage.
The girl in green curled her lips slightly, then slowly walked to Ling Yuanzhou's side and asked, pretending to be pitiful: "Dad, tell me, what will you do if I throw the hydrangea to a bastard tomorrow? Your daughter will be pitiful.
"
"If you really meet that bastard, daddy will help you kill him with his own hands. I would rather remain a widow for the rest of my life than harm my daughter." Ling Yuanzhou replied loudly.
