He Zijin and his father returned to the Chen family courtyard after coming out of Ning Mansion. The information they received was exactly the same. Even the third girl Hu Wen, who was listening, was stunned. The magistrate was already a great official in the eyes of these four people. Hu Shanchang's official position in this life was the fourth-rank magistrate. Now he heard that the magistrate was also asking about He Zijin, but the reason was not even clear about the Ning family. Hu Wen said, "I'll send someone to send a letter to the uncle of the Zhu family to see if he is cheaper. Let's go over and meet him." He was also worried that something happened to He Zijin.

This is not the time to be polite, He Gong said, "It's best if you can do this."

As for whether to ask for help from Uncle Chen, He Zijin said, "Don't pay attention to him!" She didn't believe Uncle Chen didn't know, but her family ignored her words! It's not a bad thing to be able to do business, but it's a chilling thing to do business to the situation of Uncle Chen!

The gate of the royal mansion was not easy to enter, and it was only the second day after the Douju ​​Club that He Gong and Hu Wen went to the Shu Prince's Mansion.

After hearing this, the official Zhu's subordinate smiled and said, "Since last year, we came to Shu to become a vassal, and after the previous dynasty, Shu welcomed the vassal king for the first time. As for how to serve the vassal king, the officials here probably were a little helpless, so they had many strange actions. Whenever there was something wrong with the Shu Palace, people here would ask a lot, or want to use this to make friends with the royal palace, or want to have a glimpse of the royal palace likes and dislikes. When I first came to Shu, I felt strange, but now I am used to it."

He Gong sighed deeply and said earnestly, "Thank you for your advice. The common people in the countryside have no knowledge and only know how to be afraid."

The vermilion official was around forty years old and was also very kind. He laughed, "It is rare in the world to grow flowers. I have seen green chrysanthemums in the past, but the flowers are light with a hint of yellow and green. Now I know that there is such a famous product like jade. To be honest, I have to congratulate you on my good fortune, and this time I let the flowers of love take the lead."

He Gong smiled and said, "She is a child who is idle and elegant, and she is not worth mentioning."

The official from Zhu's family laughed, "Today's autumn examination is released, I heard that my brother is in this subject. Oh, look at me, I delayed my brother's reading of the list."

He Gong was surprised and looked at Hu Wen, "Is the results released today?"

Hu Wen thought about it, slapped his forehead and smiled, "Yes! I've been anxious about my cousin these two days, and I forgot about it for a moment!"

The official Zhu's family liked the two of them a little. He cared about the child in his heart, at least his character was quite good. He smiled and said, "It might as well be that the list will be sent to the royal palace." So he sent someone to ask, and he was delivered immediately.

Hu Wen leaned over to see He Gongtong, and found a stick of incense, but couldn't find it. He Gong laughed, "It's okay, I've already taken the exam many times anyway, so it's worth it to know that Zi Jin is worry-free this time."

He Gong was free and easy, and Hu Wen also smiled and said, "Uncle has his own talent, and he will be on the list sooner or later."

He Gong looked at the list carefully and said, "A Luo won, and his ranking is still so high. I wonder if he will go to the imperial capital this year? Brother Fan is also there, haha, he has to invite him to drink this time."

The Zhu family officials did not leave the two more. They said goodbye to the Zhu family officials and returned to the Chen family's villa. Uncle Chen got up early in the morning and waited for the release of the results. Now he knew the list and smiled, "When A Luo and Mr. Fan come back, we will serve them with a drink."

He Gong laughed, "Yes, A Luo is outstanding, and Brother Fan is also among the top, so he is very happy."

Uncle Chen laughed. This is the benefit of this nephew. He has no desire to win. He is open-minded in everything. He is not like a eldest grandson. He is successful in his youth. He failed the exam in this dynasty and was depressed.

Uncle Chen asked He Gong and Hu Wen to sit in the hall and said, "I heard that you went to the Shu Palace early in the morning, but is there something wrong?"

He Gong then told many people about their daughter's affairs, and Uncle Chen said, "There are several families asking about Zijin for this matter. They all heard that the Shu Palace bought flowers from her. This girl is really famous."

He Gong looked up at Uncle Chen and asked, "Why haven't I heard my uncle mention it to me if there is such a thing?"

Uncle Chen laughed, "But a trivial matter, people become famous, so there will naturally be more people asking for information. This is not uncommon. After a few years, everyone knows Zijin's reputation, so there is no one to ask about her."

He Gong couldn't bear the anger and said, "My uncle thinks it's a trivial matter. Zijin is my eldest daughter, but it's a huge matter for me. If I hadn't heard people talk about this by chance, I wouldn't know. At first, I heard so many officials or Jia people asking her about it, and I was extremely worried. The old lady of the Ning family thought it was strange and even reminded her specifically. Fortunately, she knew the reason and we were at ease."

Uncle Chen hurriedly asked, "Isn't it good to raise Yinzijinhua'er?"

He Gong stopped mentioning this matter and said, "I failed the exam today. After I have congratulated Alu and Brother Fan, I will take the girls home."

Uncle Chen said, "This is not a hurry."

He Gong said, "If my uncle has nothing to do, I will go back and rest first."

Uncle Chen felt something was wrong, and he knew that He Gong was suspicious of him. However, he was a little disdainful of He Gong's temperament. He wanted to say a few words to relax, but he couldn't say it. He Gong had already taken Hu Wen back to his room.

At this time, Aunt Chen really deserves to be glad that He Gongsu has a good temper, otherwise he would have turned against him if he had a violent person.

He Gong's face was as deep as water. It was the first time that He Zijin saw her father like this, and hurriedly asked, "Dad, what's wrong?"

"It's okay." He Gong sighed and said, "I asked Lord Zhu because the Shu Palace bought flowers from our family. The people of the State Prefecture want to spy on the likes and dislikes of the Shu Palace, which has nothing to do with our family. Don't worry."

He Zijin smiled, "That's good." Thinking that her father was displeased to fail the exam, he said, "Dad, don't be depressed. How many people have turned white or a child? You are just in your early thirties and will be lucky ones when you pass the exam."

He Gong laughed, "Okay, I'll accept my daughter Ji Yan. Brother Alufan has been hit and it's not in vain. After we congratulate them, we'll go home tomorrow."

He Zijin naturally praised him well.

However, Hu Wen privately told the third girl that Aunt Chen was an unauthentic old thing. "I thought he didn't know at first. It turned out that if someone had asked about her cousin, she wouldn't have told her about it. If Furongfang hadn't reminded her of her cousin, the Ning family would have told her, and she wouldn't have thought of going to the Shu Palace. Chen Qianzhu was thinking about what he was thinking."

The third girl said, "He was smart but was mistaken for being smart. He was too smart!"

He Luo and Fan Yu lived with He Gong in the Chen family courtyard, and waited for the evening to come back to celebrate. While drinking, He Gong talked about going home tomorrow.

He Luo said, "Brother Fan went straight to the imperial capital after Lu Ming banquet. I'll work hard for another three years."

"Each one has its own benefits." He Gong laughed, "Brother Fan, you recognize Asu too. He is now in the imperial capital and is just about to have a degree from Brother Fan. How about Brother Fan bringing me a letter this time?"

Fan Yu smiled, "I met Lord Shen first. Master Shen is a handsome young man. If you have any letters, just give them to me." He and Chen Su were just acquainted and not familiar with each other, and knew that He Gong had good intentions to recommend him to Chen Su.

He Gong laughed, "I thank Brother Fan in advance."

"My brother is a heretic," Fan Yu smiled.

Uncle Chen regretted the fact that He Zijin was holding back the throne. He didn't want to care, but he just wanted to take a closer look. Besides, Uncle Chen, this was not a big deal, or a good thing. He thought that if He Zijin was lucky, he would give her a thick dowry. Unexpectedly, He Gong was annoyed by the matter, which made him unable to defend his feelings for a while. Now, he felt that He Gong was not stupid. He just gave Fan Yu a favor and also brought connections to his brother-in-law. If Fan Yu was in the spring exam and was a fellow villager with Chen Su, he would naturally have a good relationship. Oh, he still had to find an opportunity to explain to this nephew. In his opinion, Zijin's great blessing has come.

After drinking, He Gong went back to the house in the evening and quickly called He Zijin to write a letter and put down the pen. He Zijin said, "I don't know how my uncle and grandpa and the others are in the imperial capital?"

He Gong said, "Your mother is always thinking about it. It is not easy to live in the imperial capital, let alone your uncle who asked his family to take care of his family." The family pointed at his brother-in-law and lived alone. He Gong said, "Why don't you ask Uncle Fan to take half of the money for this flower sale to your uncle, if your uncle lives a difficult life, you can slow down your life. If your uncle has a good life, he will pay us back in the future."

He Gongyuan had this meaning, but he thought that the money was obtained by the daughter who worked hard to plant flowers for a year, and he wanted to invest money for the daughter, so he couldn't speak. Now that he heard her daughter say this, he immediately became happy and laughed, "It's so good. My daughter values ​​love and respect for money and is a righteous person."

He Zijin said, "Don't let grandma know."

He Gong defended his mother, "Your grandmother, when she was young, she caught up with the war. Now her heart is always for her descendants and is used to being meticulous. Our family has always been frugal and stable. Don't worry, this is not worrying about your uncle, and it's not just for your grandmother to find out. It's nothing if your grandmother knows." After thinking about it, He Gong said again, "Well, but don't ask the old man to think more."

He Zijin turned his face and smiled secretly.

He Gong also smiled.

The next day, he handed over the letter and the silver notes to Fan Yu, and Fan Yu personally took them and said, "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely bring them." He Luo personally sent He Gong's family back to his hometown.

He Gong bowed and smiled, "Brother, I will go north this time and win the championship in one fell swoop!"

Fan Yu smiled and returned the salute, "I'm waiting for my brother in the imperial capital!"

He Gong and his party returned home before the Double Ninth Festival. They knew that He Gong had not won, and there was nothing at home. He said, "It's okay, our county has won A Luo." This was not the first time his son failed the exam. Then he asked He Zijin with a smile, "What will happen if he fights juju?"

He Gong quickly gave the remaining half of the silver to his mother. Old lady He knew that He Zijin was going to give Shen half of it. She thought about the silver. She glanced at her and then put it away with a smile. She was about to ask someone to go and buy land for the girl. She said, "Awen is also eating at home. I asked Mrs. Zhou to buy mutton. It's cold, let's stew the mutton pot."

Hu Wen laughed, "Grandma Aunt is kind. This time it was my grandfather who sent me to the prefecture for business. Now, I will come to my grandma here to greet my grandma first, so that my grandma will definitely be jealous, saying that I only have grandma in my eyes, but not his. I will go back and tell my grandma about the affairs of the prefecture to let him rest assured. When I am free, I will come over and my grandma will make delicious food for me."

Hu Wen was always funny, and Old Madam He laughed, "That's the same. You're tired from running to the prefecture these days. You're going home for a rest. Don't take your body seriously. The younger you are, the more you need to pay attention to maintenance." He stopped leaving Hu Wen indifferently, and asked the third girl to send Hu Wen out.

The two of them talked at the door for a while, and Hu Wen went home.

He always did things properly, but this time he just went to Lord Zhu to give gifts for the holidays. Moreover, Lord Zhu was the elder brother of Aunt San’s family, even if he was not a mother, he was also a father. The two families were really relatives. When Hu Wen returned home, his grandfather had not returned home, and when he saw his grandmother, Aunt San, he talked about the Double Ninth Festival.

Mrs. Hu San laughed, "In our family, Awen is most at ease in doing things."

Old Mrs. Hu laughed, "Awen is indeed steady." He asked him what was wrong with the prefecture, but He Luo was seen and said, "This time our county has won a He family juren. Your grandfather has told you for several days." The old man is envious of other people's children.

"We all live in the villa of Chen Caizhu's house, so we have seen Aluo. Aluo was successful in his youth, and there was also a Fan Juren from Wushui Town who also won. Aluo planned to return to his hometown to study hard after the Lu Ming Banquet. Fan Juren went north to prepare for the next spring exam." After taking the tea from his maid, Hu Wen laughed, "Grandfather doesn't have to envy others. If your brothers are in a few years, it will be that others will envy your grandfather." This time his elder brother also ended, but unfortunately he lost his reputation.

His sister-in-law Huang couldn't help asking, "Fourth brother, why didn't your elder brother come back with you?"

Hu Wen laughed, "Before coming, I asked my elder brother, that he still had some things to do in the prefecture, so I asked me to tell my sister-in-law that he would come back around the Double Ninth Festival."

Mrs. Hu San laughed, "The niece-in-law just keep peace of mind. The eldest nephew's temperament is the most calm. This time I will try it. When I finish the course, I will be a juren's wife after I finish the subject and I will be a juren."

Huang was a little disappointed when her husband failed the exam, but it was not easy to show it in front of her elders. Moreover, when she knew that her husband had failed the exam, she smiled, "I was looking forward to responding to Aunt San's words."

Everyone joked for a few words, and knew that Hu Wen had gone home from afar, so he asked him to go back to his room to rest.

At night, Hu Shan returned to his house and called Hu Wen to the study room to speak. When Hu Wen reported to Lord Zhu about his affairs, he also said that the current autumn examination was revealed. Hu Shan said, "He Luo is a promising child."

Hu Wen naturally praised He Luo for a few words. He Luo is from the He clan and is quite close to He Gong's family. He Luo is famous on the list, and Hu Wen is also happy. When talking about He Luo, Hu Wen couldn't help but talk about the strange things about He Zijin. Hu Wen said, "Although Lord Zhu is not surprising, I always feel that it is very strange. Many people in the prefecture asked, but no one came to Bishui County. I always feel that this matter is indescribable. The He family is an honest family. Uncle He believed the words of Lord Zhu. But I was still uneasy, so I came to discuss with my grandfather."

Hu Shanchang frowned, "There is such a rare thing!"

"Yes, if I hadn't gone to the prefecture, I wouldn't have known."

"The Chen family often travels to and from the prefecture and interacts with officials from the prefecture. Could it be that his family has not heard of the news?"

"Oh, don't mention it. Don't know who Chen Qianzhu. He had known it before, but he didn't mention a word to the He family. Wouldn't Uncle He be disappointed?"

Hu Shan sighed, "The businessman values ​​profit. Although the Hu family is rich, his horizons are narrow. Could it be that the rich man Chen thought that it was a big family who liked Miss He?" The words were both emotion and sarcasm.

Hu Wen said, "Although this possibility is not high, I have been thinking about it and there is only this possibility. Cousin He is still young, but not too young."

Hu Shanchang picked up his beard and said softly, "Since you said that these people started to ask about her when the Shu Palace bought flowers from her, the original intention of this matter was not from food and sex."

Hu Wen said, "The He family acts kindly, and I am only worried that it is not the He family, but the He family will suffer."

Hu Shanchang closed his eyes and thought for a long time, "The words of Ning's family are false and real. Lord Zhu's words are not finished." He suddenly felt his heart moved, his eyes suddenly opened, and the divine light was like lightning. Hu Wen asked hurriedly, "What did grandfather think of?"

Chief Hu Shan looked at Hu Wen, "Although I thought about it, I don't know if it is? But I can't say this. These things are not for the He family. Just be at ease. Three months will be your marriage. I'm ready for my life. I'll be the adults."

Hu Wenlai was close to his grandfather and said, "Grandfather can't even tell me."

"I can't be sure yet. Even if it's what I guess in my heart, this is definitely not something that is easy to say." Hu Shan said, "Besides, I can't confirm it, and I can't check it out in detail. I have retired. Your father's position is low and he is an official who is exiled. It's best to act like nothing and live as usual."

Hu Wen knew his grandfather's temperament best. Seeing this, his grandfather was afraid that he would not even tell his grandmother, so he had to stop asking more questions.

The next day, He Zijin was taking this breakfast at home, so he went to the mountain with A Nian and others. A Nian and others went to study, and He Zijin went to find Taoist Chaoyun.

He Zijin was also waiting for Wen to come out of Taoist Chaoyun's courtyard, and said to Taoist Chaoyun, "But something is wrong!"

Master Chaoyun was a little puzzled and said, "I heard that you made a fortune at the Douju ​​Club, how could it be wrong?"

"I mean you, Master Chaoyun." He Zijin said, "Now there are countless people in Xiazhou Prefecture asking you openly and secretly."

"Inquiry?"

He Zijin then said in detail to Taoist Master Chaoyun, "Actually, I'm asking about me, but what do I have to do? The 18th generation of ancestors all farmed, and there are only seven people in the family. Those people, who are asking about me openly, must be coming for you secretly, I'm scared to death, even my father dares to tell the truth. What should I do? Is there anything wrong with you?"
