"That's nonsense. How can a quiet and quiet person like Li Xiaomei, whose father and brother are both talented people, be so arrogant and unreasonable?"

"Stone, Mom is telling you, don't listen to those nonsense, will Mom still hurt you?"

"This little sister Li... is a little tall, because her little feet are not too wrapped, but she is in good health and is easy to give birth to. You have to believe in mother, she is the only one you can count on, and she will not wrong you."

"Also, Li Xiaomei's brother Li Kun is more knowledgeable than your eldest brother. In the future, if your eldest brother can pass the exam, your brother-in-law will also pass the exam. As long as your brother-in-law is here, Chen Gang will never be able to stand up again. ”

Chen Ming came out of Gao's place with his mind full of threads. As expected, he still lacked the skills to be worldly. He only thought about how little sister Li looked and forgot about the existence of his elder brother. Mr. Gao was worried about Chen Gang passing the exam. I found myself a daughter-in-law, and my eldest brother is also a talented person. It is estimated that this point is more important in Gao's heart than Li Xiaomei's appearance.

"Marry a virtuous wife, keep concubines and have sex!" These eight words were repeated over and over in Chen Ming's mind like a repeater.

In this era, it is possible to bring in mistresses, mistresses, and mistresses openly and honestly. Look at what your father did when he was young. That is a living example.

Chen Ming was surprised to find that his mind had calmed down, and the weight of Li Xiaomei's appearance in his heart suddenly decreased, and it even became dispensable. Chen Ming discovered that he was really not a good person. When talking about friends in his previous life, he was respectful to his girlfriend. That was because he was so pale and had no money in his hands, so he couldn't get hard, although it didn't work out in the end. But Chen Ming still remembered his single-mindedness, and even said bitterly, "Girls nowadays are so realistic." But look at it now, just because I have no money, it will be a disaster if I have money!

That night, Chen Ming planned to have sex with her and plan her future life. When she woke up in the morning, she found that her crotch was humiliatingly wet. Then on the fifth day after he returned to Tumenji, Liu Wen came back.

His face was covered with dust, and his whole body was much darker and thinner than when he took the order. "Young Master, Young Master Gang missed, missed!" Liu Wen had an absolute excitement on his face, which was a kind of pride that showed his merit. As the Liu family is an absolute descendant of the Gao family, Liu Wen obviously understands the significance of Chen Gang's decision.

Feeling relieved, Chen Ming felt that the weather was particularly good today, and the last uneasiness in his heart was gone. Chen Gang is just a young scholar, so he just needs to pay it forward honestly. If he wants to stir up trouble, give him something good to look at. "Okay, okay. Liu Wen, thank you for your hard work these days." Chen Ming, who was refreshed and clear-minded, took out a small silver ingot from his arms and threw five taels of silver ingot to Liu Wen. "Go down and have a good rest. Go to the city in two days. Master, I will return to the city the day after tomorrow. There are still things for you to do."

"By the way, does Lu Shan have anyone on the list this time?"

"Back to the young master, only Mr. Qi Jiyuanqi from Raoshan Town won the thirty-seventh place."

Qi Jiyuan? A person that Chen Ming had no impression of at all. Waving his hand, Chen Ming said to Liu Wen: "You know what to say when you go back, right? If the news leaks out, I want you to look good."

When he was excited just now, his attitude was a little too good. To win over others, you can't rely entirely on benefits.

After receiving five taels of silver, Liu Wen narrowed his eyes with joy. He got at least six and a half taels of silver from this round trip, which was worth the couple's busy life at Zhuangzi for more than half a year. This is because Liu's father and Liu's mother have a good reputation with Chen Hui and the Gao family. The Chen family only charges 20% of the rent for the 20 acres of good land rented by Liu Wen.

Compared with other people's rent, which is at least 30%, 10% of the rent is based on the basic figure of twenty acres of good land, which is the income of two acres of good land. Without this discount, Liu and Wen would be busy from beginning to end throughout the year and would not be able to save even three to five taels of silver in a good year.

Chen Ming got up and went to the east wing, where his mother lived.

After asking the servants to retreat, Chen Ming whispered in Gao's ear. Mrs. Gao was surprised at first, and then overjoyed. He grabbed Chen Ming's hand and said, "Shitou, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course it is true. The news that I specially asked Liu Wen to go to Kaifeng to find out can still be false. At most, the man who announced the good news will arrive in Lushan in seventy-five days. Only Qi Jiyuan won the current examination in Lushan. "

"Mom, we will return to the city the day after tomorrow. Now that we have received the news, it is better to do something to make the big brother lose face."

"Liu Wen? Didn't he go to east Henan to sell cattle bones..." Mrs. Gao suddenly realized that Liu Wen had not gone to Zhoujiakou, but to Kaifeng City.

Zhoujiakou in Chenzhou Prefecture in eastern Henan is a famously wealthy place throughout the Central Plains. During the Wanli Period of Zhu Ming Dynasty, the dredging of the Jialu River was completed, and Zhoujiakou became an important commodity distribution center connecting Jianghuai to the south and mountains and Shaanxi to the north. In the early fifty years of the Qing Dynasty, the Jialu River was dredged ten times to ensure smooth river transportation. During the Qianlong period, Zhoujiakou's development reached its peak. Now there are 16 ferry crossings alone, with tens of thousands of permanent residents and more than 100,000 floating population. It is more prosperous than Lushan County.

At the same time, Zhoujiakou is the largest livestock market in eastern Henan. Although the Chen family assigned Nanyang Mansion to the Gao family, this does not mean that all bone meal was purchased from Nanyang Mansion. The Great Plains of Eastern Henan was also a fertile land in Henan in this era, and Zhoujiakou was a place not to be missed. .

Chen Ming took the initiative to ask Liu Wen to explore the way, which was very "reasonable" in everyone's eyes. The Liu family had a great weight in Chen Hui's heart, not to mention that Liu Wu, the second son of the Liu family, had followed Chen Ming since he was a child. Everyone thought that Chen Ming was thinking of the favor and helped Liu Wen, who had been busy farming for the past few years.

Chen Ming looked at Gao's surprised face and smiled. This cheap old lady was a woman after all, and her eyes were only on the backyard of the house. Chen Ming's plan was to make Chen Gang lose his reputation in one fell swoop. For example, let someone spread the gossip that Qi Jiyuan and Chen Gang passed the imperial examination this year.

When Qi Jiyuan's good news arrived, Chen Gang dodged everyone, so how could he raise his head in the county?

But Chen Ming thought about it again and felt that it was impossible for him to completely clear up the beginning and end of this kind of thing. If someone followed the thread and investigated, he would most likely find out the truth. Besides, even if this matter is not exposed, the reputation of the Chen family will be damaged, and the whole Chen family will have to pay for it. Therefore, it is not advisable!

After thinking over and over again, Chen Ming finally decided to let Gao take action, and let Gao take advantage of the last two days of Tumen Market to be more high-profile, show off her good "nephew", and use a relatively ignorant face to publicize that Chen Gang will definitely pass the imperial examination. Although doing so will make Gao lose face in a few days and "have no face to see people", Chen Gang will lose face even more. And it's all his own face that he lost.

Another thing is Chen Hui's feelings. As long as Gao says a few more words in front of him that Chen Gang will definitely pass the imperial examination, it will definitely raise the interest of this good father. Then a basin of cold water will be poured down, Gao's face will be greatly damaged, and Chen Hui will be more disappointed in her heart?

Based on Chen Ming's understanding of Gao, she is absolutely willing to "lose face". As long as it can benefit her son and humiliate Chen Gang, she is absolutely willing to be embarrassed by this thorn in her eye. This strategy, similar to cutting off the firewood from the bottom of the pot, will cause little loss to the Chen family - women have long hair and short knowledge, and it is not the men of the Chen family who are embarrassed. At most, they will be hot for three minutes, leaving a stalk for the ladies and young ladies of Lushan County, but it can directly cut off all possibilities of Chen Gang intervening in the main vein of the Chen family.

Don't treat people of this era as fools. Compared with Chen Ming, the old and young in Lushan County just lack the knowledge to stand at the height of knowing history, and people are not fools. It is better to use less some means that are not presentable. But you can't deny the limitations of this era. The "wrong" of women and the "wrong" of men represent two concepts.
