No, gentlemen also guard against

Chapter 63 Su Guer's Troubles
The Liu Family Mansion, a brightly lit hall.

Hearing the elder brother's words, Liu Zian fell silent.

But Liu Zilin became more and more confused the more he listened:
"Isn't this guy demoted because he contradicted the current emperor and Princess Changle?"

Liu Zian frowned, looked at him, and couldn't bear to explain:
"Demotion also depends on where you are demoted. Not everyone in Longcheng county magistrate is eligible to be demoted."

After a pause, he was also a little confused:

"At first, I thought that this was a little white rabbit who was stupid in reading, otherwise, how could the nobles of the Wei family allow him to come over? Isn't it just for us to be a dog?
"The identity is clean, and the nerd is stupid. This can be regarded as an option that people on both sides can reluctantly nod to default... But looking at it now, why does it look more and more like the winner of the opponent's vote?"

Liu Ziwen bowed his head in thought and remained silent, but Liu Zilin seemed to understand.

There was also silence in the hall for a while.

At this moment, two people suddenly walked on the corridor outside the hall.

It was a lame boy servant who respectfully brought in an ordinary-looking woman. The latter was about forty years old, her face was a bit long, but she was well-maintained. She was dressed like a woman from a wealthy family in the Zhou Dynasty. There was nothing special about it. .

"Da Lang, it's time to eat, Erlang Saburo is here too? Let's eat together." The woman moved slowly and spoke slowly.

Liu Ziwen raised his head, forced a smile, and nodded, "Thanks for your hard work."

Liu Zi'an and Liu Zilin also stood up immediately to respond, calling out to sister-in-law.

The woman's surname is Xu, and Liu Ziwen married very early, and she devoted all her attention to the Guyue Sword Shop and other family businesses, and treated her as a respectful guest.

However, the parents of the three Liu family brothers died early, the eldest brother was like a father, and the eldest sister-in-law was naturally like a mother, just like Ouyang Rong's aunt was like a mother.

No matter how arrogant and domineering Liu Zian and Liu Zilin are outside, they are more obedient in front of their eldest sister-in-law. This is also the norm in this era, and the clan has a strong sense of filial piety.

Therefore, no matter how busy or miserable the three brothers were for the dinner prepared by Mrs. Xu, they had to eat it honestly, which was considered a tacit understanding of the Liu family.

The same is true today.

At the dinner table, Mrs. Xu was very considerate to the two younger uncles. He was always eager to pick up vegetables, inquire about their health, and even got up to pour soup for them in the middle.

At this moment, Liu Ziwen, who has always been "speakable when eating", put down his chopsticks and stared at the plate of dishes in front of him.

"Since the county magistrate said to uphold justice, then the third brother will go to ask for justice tomorrow."

"yes, Sir!"

Liu Zilin nodded, his face eager to try.

It's just that Liu Zian next to him didn't seem to care much about what his brother and brother said. From the corner of his eye, he looked at Mrs. Xu's back as he went to serve the soup, and then buried himself in eating honestly and peacefully.

……

Luming Street, Su Family Mansion.

after dinner.

In an elegant and secluded back garden.

The vegetation in the south of the Yangtze River is already lush, and fireflies have already appeared in the flowers at night this season.

A little maid with a steamed bun face covered a small Qingluo fan, bouncing around in the flowers, catching fireflies everywhere, shouting "Miss, look, look", "Oh, it's so big" from time to time.

But occasionally, there would be a disappointed sigh. It was she who looked up at the fireflies flying away and sighed.

In a brightly lit gallery in the garden, a desolate girl with fresh plum blossom makeup turned a book by herself, turning a deaf ear to the personal maid who did not match her temperament.

It's just that when there are occasional wrestling sounds, the deserted girl will nod slightly, without raising her eyelids, and say:
"I'll be hungry later, don't steal pastries in the living room at night, otherwise my mother will make a lot of snacks every day, thinking I'm greedy."

"..." The bun-faced maid was already grumbling.

Su Gu'er shook her head, and turned another page of the poetry collection in her hand.

She is still reading Tao Yuanming's poems recently.

It's not because Su Gu'er is a literary fan who admires celebrities.

Gein was prophesied by the old fortune teller.

It predicts that she will meet a man who is like destiny, a noble person who is destined. The old fortune teller did not say how "expensive", but only said that the important thing is "meeting". This is the turning point of fortune.Su Gu'er wanted to meet her sooner.

This old physiognomist is not simple. He comes from the Shangqing sect, one of the Southern Sanqing Daoist sects. He has a very high seniority. He has interviewed many people in the Su Guer family. In some respects, he is not inferior to the court around Empress Wei. top hopeful...

Under the night, the deserted girl leaned lazily on the railing, her eyebrows painted with plum blossoms were slightly frowned, and she gently pinched a corner of the pale yellow page with her fingers.

Qianlong is in the Yuan...the moon comes out...is an official in this county and then resigns...can write a letter of resignation and retirement...

Those who meet the above conditions, Su Bao'er could only think of one person if she wanted to break her head before.

That is what was recorded in Longcheng County Chronicles, Tao Qian and Tao Yuanming, famous scholars in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Not only does this person’s name sound in line with the first two sentences of the prophecy, but he also served as a county magistrate in Longcheng County for 81 days. Few poems and songs are talked about by the locals...

Nowadays, many place names and street names in Longcheng are all taken from the allusions related to this celebrity.

And in these years, Su Gu'er inquired again, and there are records in the relevant county annals. Before resigning, this person seems to have indeed written a fu about resigning from office, and the name seems to be... "Returning to come".

But this Fu did not know where it was lost, and it was not handed down in its entirety.

In the end, the only slight deviation she regretted was...

This is a character from the Eastern Jin Dynasty 400 years ago!

Could it be that he is still a long-lived top Qi practitioner?
But no matter how top-notch a Qi trainer is, it is difficult to live to this day, unless he has reached the top of the mythical lineage, an unknown rank?But...is it possible?
She finds it unrealistic.

The deserted girl put down her collection of poems, leaned on the minibus, stared blankly at the silly maid in the flowers, and sighed quietly in the evening wind:
"When I go back, I will give you a speech... I will give you a bright moon... I will give you a poem..."

However, in recent days, Su Gu'er's somewhat dead mood became alive again, because she heard some things from sister Xie's family who lived together.

Some facts about the newly arrived young magistrate.

This trend seems to be a bit different...

The old fortune-teller's prophecy clearly pointed out that this man of destiny would serve as the magistrate of Longcheng County, so Su Gu'er had carefully searched the archives and classics before, but found that the county magistrate of Longcheng County in the past 50 years had not resigned voluntarily. Died of illness, or Ding You.

She had set her sights on the new county magistrates in recent years, but she was disappointed to find that if it wasn't for the rich and the poor, or for the faint-hearted, they would have nothing to do with her during their terms of office, let alone gifts. It's a gift of the month.

Now this Ouyang Lianghan, when he first took office a few months ago, Su Guer also went to visit with a colored ribbon, but unfortunately it was nothing special, not like the kind described in the prophecy who could be worthy of the "hidden dragon in the abyss". "The honorable person who evaluated.

What's more funny is that this Ouyang Lianghan just announced that he would control the water on the day he took office, but he fell off the bridge by himself, drowned and passed out...

How could Su Gu'er not be disappointed, she was already quite discouraged, and she didn't want to believe in her fate anymore.

She might as well place her hopes on Tao Yuanming 400 years ago, what if she can really live to this day?
Right now, although she felt that a certain young county magistrate was becoming more and more interesting, Su Guer didn't hold out much hope. For Tao Yuanming, who had already invested a lot of time and energy, she naturally wouldn't give up lightly.

"I don't know if elder sister Xie can help me find that Fu of the Hidden World."

Su Guer spoke softly.

She watched the night silently for a while, at a certain moment, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a familiar figure not far away, Su Gu'er immediately got up, left the gallery, and greeted her.

"Sister Xie is back?"

"Little sister of the Su family." Xie Lingjiang turned around and greeted her.

After approaching, Su Gu'er stopped slowly, and she found that there was an extra girl behind these sisters of Xie's family, and she followed closely. Never brought it back.

Su Gu'er looked sideways slightly.

This is a tall and slender bearded woman with deep eyes and a high nose, brown hair, and a pair of strange blue eyes. She seems to be brought into this strange environment at this moment. The bearded woman lowers her head timidly and does not look around, let alone meet her. .

"correct."

Xie Lingjiang seemed to be in a good mood, and introduced with a light smile:
"Her name is Zhiying. She was originally an orchid dancer from Yuanming Building. Sister Su can call her Yingniang."

"Then thank you sister, this is to..."

Xie Lingjiang's eyes were bright, and he took Yingniang's hand:

"Yingniang's life is miserable, and she was sold to this foreign country by a black-hearted businessman. I hit it off with her immediately. Recently, I used a pearl to help her redeem her body. But after leaving Yuanming Building, she didn't have a place to live for a while, so I took her away. She brought it back, thinking about letting her share a room with me... My sister shouldn't mind, right?"

Su Gu'er shook her head, said indifferently, "It's okay. You don't need to squeeze a room, I'll ask Caishou to clean another room."

Xie Lingjiang patted Yingniang's trembling hand, gently reassuring:
"Don't be afraid, Sister Su looks cold-tempered, but she still treats people sincerely, and won't bully you like those people in Yuanming Tower before. From now on, we will be considered our own sisters."

Ying Niang seemed to be calm, and whispered, "Hi, Miss Su."

Su Bao'er nodded, but she obviously had more important things to do at the moment, and she didn't have time to pay attention to a little beard girl. When Caishou came slowly, Su Bao'er ordered Caishou to take Yingniang down to rectify.

When they were taken away, Su Gu'er turned her head and asked Xie Lingjiang directly: "Sister Xie is in the archives warehouse of the county government, has there been any news about returning home?"

Xie Lingjiang was not surprised, and nodded slightly:

"In the past few days, apart from being busy with the matters explained by my senior brother, I also went to check carefully, and I did find something. In a certain edition of the county annals kept in the warehouse, it was recorded that the famous scholar in the Eastern Jin Dynasty was indeed the last to leave a poem.

"As for the whereabouts, it was just mentioned above. Before leaving Longcheng, Tao Yuanming gave it to the abbot and friend of Donglin Temple at that time. I just don't know if this Fu has been preserved in the Donglin Temple's treasury."

Su Gu'er's pretty face was overjoyed at first, but then she was stunned again, but in the end her face became a little more relaxed, and she whispered:
"It's good to have news, Donglin Temple..."
