Because it was within Wu Bai's expectation that Dong Heng would be admitted to Juren, he was not discouraged. Now his second brother is also a Juren. If Dong Heng dared to reach out to his family, he would dare to chop off the opponent's claws. .

What he didn't expect was that Dong Heng hadn't reached out to his family yet, but another person planned to reach out to him.

It's the kind of hand that really stretches out.

On this day, Wu Bai was rarely free, so he took his dirty clothes and went to wash clothes by the river in the village. Just when he finished washing his clothes, he stood up with a basin and was about to go home.

A pair of hands suddenly appeared behind him, and the other party pushed towards him at once.

But because Wu Bai suddenly found a nice pebble by the river, he wanted to pick it up and take it home, so he crouched down again. The other party failed to push Wu Bai into the river, but instead fell into the river himself.

.Fortunately, the river was not deep, so the other party fluttered for a while, then stood up from the water and climbed to the shore.

Wu Bai is not a fool, he naturally understood that the other party was trying to push him into the water just now, so he grabbed the other party's collar and wanted to force the other party to do this, but found that he didn't know the other party at all, or that he didn't know him at all. never saw each other.

However, Wu Bai quickly realized the identity of the other party, because in this village, there was only one person he did not know and had never met, and that was Dong Heng's husband.

"Why are you pushing me?" Wu Bai didn't remember that he had a grudge against the other party.

"Humph!" The other party snorted coldly, not answering Wu Bai's words at all.

"If you don't explain it honestly, I'll call someone, and let everyone come to see your soaked appearance. I'm sure Dong Heng's face will be very good-looking by then.Seeing that the other party refused to explain honestly, Wu Bai threatened.

Sure enough, as soon as the other party heard Wu Bai mention Dong Heng, he also understood that Wu Bai had guessed his identity, and was even more afraid that Wu Bai would really shout and call other people, so he had to falter: "I just see that you are upset. I want to push you into the water and make fun of you."

Wu Bai was speechless and said, "Have you and I never met? Why do you think I'm upset?"

"Who told your family to bully my mother-in-law before!" He caused him to go to the county seat, which made it difficult for me!

"He? Hmph, my family has never bullied him, but he has found a lot of things for my family and hasn't settled with him yet. He asked you to come?" Wu Bai asked.

Hearing this, the other party's expression dodged for a while, and then he nodded.

.Wu Bai wouldn't be easily deceived by him. He immediately knew that it was the other party's own idea and had nothing to do with Dong's mother, so he just said that now everyone in the village still remembers the stupid things Dong's mother did before. He shouldn't have forgotten the lessons the villagers had taught him before, and attacked the Wu family again.

"I'll give you three numbers. If you don't explain it honestly, I'll call someone to watch the fun?" Wu Bai stretched out three fingers.

"three......"

"two......"

Just before Wu Bai bent down his last finger, Dong Heng's husband was so frightened that he quickly replied, "I heard that my husband once mentioned kissing to you, plus the matter of my mother-in-law, that's why I was angry for a while. You started."

Seeing that the other party had explained honestly, Wu Bai let the other party leave.

.Of course he is not a generous person. He is so kind to a person who wants to push himself into the water, so he was actually delaying the time just now. The other party fell into the water. A disease, this is a small punishment for the other party.

Wu Bai held the basin, and then slowly walked towards the home.

At the end of the month, Wu Bai went to the largest bookstore in the town, only to find that the store was going to close, because the magistrate's three-year term expired, and now he is going back to Beijing to report his work, and he will definitely not come back after that. After that, he will send people to take care of these stores. It is not easy to manage after a long journey. The county magistrate decided to sell the bookstore for some money. After the location of his next appointment is determined, he will go to that place to re-purchase some properties. .

I have to say that this county magistrate is really a sensible person.

.With the Wu family opening a shop in the town, and the news that Wu Kangan brought every time he went home, Wu Bai had a better understanding of the county magistrate. He knew that the other party was a qualified magistrate. , it is not comparable to the county magistrate who scraped the people's fat and cream.

Now that the county magistrate wants to leave Qinghuai County, not only Wu Bai is reluctant, but most of the people are also very reluctant after hearing the news. Such good parents are really lucky.

The county magistrate left in a hurry. He left Qinghuai County before the next magistrate arrived. On the day he left in a carriage, it was drizzling in the sky, but there were still many people who kept sending him out. city ​​gate.

.When the county magistrate left, he was moved to tears when he saw the people sending each other off. In fact, he did not make any great contribution to the people in Qinghuai County, and felt that he was not worth sending off from the people.

He vowed in his heart that when he takes office next time, he must make more contributions to the local people.

The county magistrate left, and the position of the magistrate was vacant. Wu Bai didn't know whether the court would choose to let a famous local leader fill the gap this time, or would send another person to take office.

In fact, as far as Wu Bai himself is concerned, he prefers to let Juzi fill this gap, so that his second brother will have the opportunity to directly become a local parent official.

.In fact, in addition to Wu Bai's eye on the position of county magistrate this time, Dong Heng is also eyeing the position of county magistrate this time. He recently brought his husband back to his parents' home several times, just hoping to use his father-in-law's financial resources , to help him become the county magistrate in one fell swoop.

For Dong Heng's idea, his father-in-law naturally supported it. In order to clear the relationship for Dong Heng, he spent a lot of money on the prefects above, and even the county magistrates and masters of the county government. Okay.

It is also for this reason that when the Wu family found these people, the other party refused the Wu family's offer without hesitation.

.The Wu family thought that the court was going to send someone to take office, and didn't think much about other things, but who knew that the Dong family heard about the Wu family's plan somewhere, and Dong's mother came to the Wu family with a proud face. , showing off: "Oh, you still want Wu Erlang to be the county magistrate, in the next life, the prefect has promised to leave this county magistrate to my son, hahahaha..."

Dong's mother left with an arrogant expression. As he left, his words spread. All the villagers knew that Dong Heng was going to be the county magistrate. , For a while, the village was quite quiet. After dinner every evening, everyone did not go to the dam in the middle of the village to enjoy the coolness.

The days went on like this, and in a blink of an eye it was the end of June.

.Just when everyone thought that Dong Heng would definitely receive an order to become a county magistrate, the magistrate sent by the imperial court to take office arrived.

In an instant, Mother Dong became calm, no longer as arrogant as before, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai in the village every day.

Contrary to before, the villagers became lively. Every day, people passed by Dong's house on excuses and said some sarcastic words.

Because of this, Dong's mother was not less angry at home every day, which made Dong Heng more and more impatient. He immediately took his husband away from home to the capital, because he was confident that with his knowledge, he would be able to be named on the gold list.

.When Dong Heng left, he didn't tell others. At first, his neighbors thought that Dong Heng took his husband back to his mother's house. After all, he often did this before, until one day, an uncle in the village had a dispute with Dong's mother and took the As Dong Heng often took his husband back to his parents' house, he would stab Dong's mother if he wanted to join the family, and was refuted by Dong's mother.

This time, everyone knew the real reason why Dong Heng was away from home for so many days. It turned out that he went to the capital to take the exam and wanted to participate in this year's autumn festival in October.

After the news reached the Wu family, Wu Bai knew that he couldn't wait any longer, and he had to let his second brother enter Beijing as soon as possible, otherwise it would be too late when Dong Heng was one step ahead of his family.

So he proposed to the Wu family the idea of ​​letting Second Brother Wu go to Beijing to prepare for the exam as soon as possible.

.Everyone in the Wu family obviously knew about Dong Heng's entry into Beijing, and they also knew that the only thing their family could rely on now was to let Wu Kangan go to Beijing to participate in the autumn festival, so that they would not show weakness when the Dong family bullied his family in the future.

As for who should go to Beijing with Wu Kangan, the Wu family discussed it again. At first, they still planned to let Father Wu accompany Wu Kangan to the capital. After all, Father Wu accompanied Wu Kangan to take the exam twice. ,have experience.

But Wu Bai finally proposed that he and the second brother should follow the second brother Wu to the capital, because Wu's father, as the village chief, was not in the village for a month or two, which was barely okay, but Wu Kangan went to the capital this time, plus the need to travel on the road. It will take at least half a year. How can there be such a long time without the village chief to deal with the big and small matters in this village.

.As for Big Brother Wu and Big Brother Mo, the two are completely excluded. Big Brother Mo is pregnant now, Big Brother Wu is usually busy taking care of each other and cannot be separated.

In addition, Wu Bai has been to Fucheng once before. He is also an experienced person, and Wu Erfu just can't bear to let the young couple separate for such a long time again. Along the way, the three can take care of each other. , the more people, the safer.

Through Wu Bai's analysis together, everyone felt that it would be better for the three of them to go to the capital together. In the end, Wu Bai promised the village chief and the others that they would send them a letter every time they arrived at a station, and they were completely at ease.

Xiao Zimo, who was far away in the capital, naturally did not know that Wu Bai was going to the capital.

His parents wanted him to marry the younger brother of the Minister of Rites, and he was recently trying to get his parents to dispel this idea.

.When he was in Lizhou Mansion, he received a letter from his mother and father. The letter said that his father was seriously ill and hoped that he would return to Beijing as soon as possible. After writing a letter, I hurried back to the capital.

In the beginning, when he came back, he did see his father lying ill in bed, and he had served in bed for many days, but he didn't know why his father had been taking medicine but it was not getting better.

It wasn't until one day, when he was delivering medicine to his father, that he accidentally overheard his parents' conversation at the door, and then he realized that his father was pretending to be sick and just wanted to trick him into returning to Beijing. The bowl fell to the ground.

Naturally, his parents knew that the news of pretending to be sick could not be concealed, and they simply recovered.

.Even the emperor in the palace heard about this, and he specially sent someone to inquire whether there is a good medicine and a good prescription. It is conceivable that there is no good medicine and good prescription. Xiao Zimo's marriage had to stop because his parents were making trouble
