Watching Ma Zhong's dead face suddenly become vivid, full of rich emotions, and full of heroic spirit. Chen Guhong's heart suddenly became fierce, and his blood was rushing with enthusiasm.
"A farmer and a hermit disdain temples, and has no desire for fame. But he is also the backbone of scholars. He is also a role model for my generation."
"Reading those moral articles, but it smells like money. Study hard, study hard, what's the use, what's the use." Chen Guhong bowed deeply to Ma Zhong, admiring him.
"teacher!"
At this moment, there was a call from outside the door. Chen Guhong looked up, only to see a scholar walking in from the door. The scholar was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and his clothes were whiter than white paper, with three patches. His face was sallow and skinny, but his eyes were lively.
The scholar was saluting Ma Zhong.
"Zhengde!" Ma Zhong showed a smile on his dead face, and then said to Chen Guhong: "This is my disciple, Ma Zhengde. I have already understood your situation, so let him and my two sons make friends with you. "
It turned out that he looked like a dead face, but he had always had a belly draft. Chen Guhong's gratitude grew stronger in his heart, but he was also surprised. He asked, "Nong'er, does Geng'er also take the county examination?"
"My second son is very smart. He may not be a scholar in the exam, but it's no problem to appear on the stage." Ma Zhong's dead face is still dead, but his eyes are a little complacent.
"Xiaonong and Xiaogeng are really smart. I am seventeen years old, and the articles I write may not be as brilliant as theirs." Wu Zhengde said shyly at this time.
"..." Chen Guhong remained silent. As the saying goes, people are more angry than people. If it weren't for his mysterious soul, he might only be at the same level as two eight or nine-year-old dolls.
As the saying goes, others are geniuses, and I am a mortal.
Gossip aside, Ma Zhong is a vigorous and resolute person. After Wu Zhengde arrived, he immediately wrote down the guarantee document and pressed his fingerprints. Then called Ma Nong, Ma Geng, and Chen Guhong and Wu Zhengde to Chengyang County.
"Congratulations, Mr. Chen. My strange son actually agreed."
Seeing off in front of the door, the old horse put his hands together and showed joy.
"It's also similar. Seeing Mr. Chen's easy-going style, he is similar to my husband." Ma Zhong's daughter-in-law said with a smile.
"These days are really troublesome to all of you." Chen Guhong said sincerely when he thought of staying at Ma's house these days.
"polite."
Everyone in the Ma family laughed.
After talking for a while, Chen Guhong and his party walked slowly towards the county seat. When I came, I was looking forward to it, but also apprehensive. When he went back, he was done.
The mood speaks for itself.
"The spine of a scholar is straight. Your Wu family can destroy the smell of copper, but you can't defeat a real scholar. Wu Xiude, Wu Xiude, you have protection, mutual knot, county magistrate. I broke two of them. I will continue to break, first let you Surprised. If you are defeated again, your body will be bruised and your life will be taken."
Chen Guhong acted like a horse with both feet, admiring the scenery along the way, with high momentum.
Of the four people, two are scholars and two are dolls, but they are all farmers. They walked for dozens of miles, but it was not unusual. Arrived at the county seat at 10 noon, and the soles of my feet didn't even soak.
After entering the city, Chen Guhong immediately led the three of them to Wang Song's house without stopping.
Wang Song was very surprised that Ma Zhong was able to help, and even found Tong Sheng, who had made friends with each other. I muttered even more in my heart. "I didn't expect that dead face to be very righteous."
But it's nice to be able to help a friend.
"I'm the host, Yue come to the hotel to eat and drink." Wang Song said, patting his chest.
So a group of five people first went to Yuelai Hotel to eat and drink. Naturally, the food and drink were rich. Ma Nong and Ma Geng's little brothers were very happy to eat, and their mouths were full of oil.
Children are innocent.
Ma Zhengde was a little embarrassed, and ate in small bites, but the speed was also very fast.
After a delicious meal, the five of them asked the hotel manager for a pen and paper, and signed a mutual agreement. In addition, the Gubao document written by Ma Zhong was sent to the county government.
When Chen Yuan was here, Chen Guhong was able to enter the Houya directly, but now this treatment is gone. Those who received them were small officials who were in charge of such matters, and they received them neither salty nor light.
Then there was nothing else, the five of them left the county office together.
After going out, the group of people were in a good mood. Wang Song suggested that Ma Nong, Ma Geng, and Ma Zhengde should stay at his home for a few days and play in the county.
As a result, the little brother applauded again, and Wu Zhengde also showed his heartbeat.
As soon as the final decision was made, the three of them stayed in the city.
…
In the county government office, in an official room. There were several clerks sitting, the person who received Chen Guhong and his party just now was a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in official uniform, and looked like a dog.
He glanced at the guarantee document in his hand, and he looked very surprised, and said to his colleagues: "The Wu family's coercion, there is a scholar who acts as a guarantee for Chen Guhong, and there is a Tongsheng who makes a relationship with him. It's really a salty fish turning around .”
"No way, there are still some idiots in this world." The surrounding scribes shook their heads and said.
"That's right, idiot. The county magistrate has already ordered that once Chen Guhong gets the documents to hand in, he will be reported to him. It can be seen that the magistrate wants to block Chen Guhong's way and offend the county magistrate. This day is not good. Better off."
The middle-aged clerk smiled and entered the back office with the documents.
In the lobby of the Houya, Ma Zhong, the county magistrate, was resting on a couch, with a beautiful maid fan beside him. There was a stool by the side of the couch, and a pot of good tea was placed on the stool.
Very laid back.
However, he is tall and strong, handsome, suave and romantic.
Noble and high-end.
"Master." The scribe came to the lobby and saluted Ma Zhong.
"What's the matter?" Ma Zhong opened his eyes and asked.
"Chen Guhong sent a guarantee document, and we have exchanged documents." The clerk bowed and said.
"There are still people who are not afraid of death?" Ma Zhong was very surprised. He sat up from the step, took the document from the clerk, and looked a little surprised: "This person actually has the same name as me."
"What is this person's background?" Ma Zhong asked again.
"This is a strange person in this county." The scribe told the life of the scholar Ma Zhong.
"Xianyunyeheshanye hermit." Ma Zhong pondered for a moment after hearing this, and said.
"What kind of hermit, a lazy and unmotivated person." The scribe said disdainfully.
"What do you know? There are different types of scholars." Ma Zhong scolded with a smile, and then shouted: "Being in a carriage, I'm going to Wu's house."
"Yes." The scribe agreed and went down.
Then Ma Zhong put on his clothes, went out of the Yamen, got into the carriage, and came to the Wu family manor.
The door of Wu's house was opened wide, and Wu Xiude, dressed neatly, swept the door to welcome him.
"Brother Ma is here, it's really full of splendor." Ma Zhong got off the sedan chair, Wu Xiude clasped his hands and said with a big smile.
"Don't be polite, this time I didn't send good news, but bad news." Ma Zhong said with a wave of his hand.
"Bad news?" Wu Xiude was taken aback.
Ma Zhong dug into his cuffs, took out two documents and handed them to Wu Xiude, saying, "Look for yourself."
"What?" Wu Xiude was taken aback after seeing it.
