The Pastoral Life of a Reborn Farmer

Chapter 117

In the lobby, Mu Hongyuan had already been poured down by Xiao San. His whole body seemed to be a puddle of mud, and he could not get up while squatting on the ground. Xiao San smiled and pulled Mu Hongyuan, trying to pull him up, "Get up! Let's get up!" Drink again, you only drink so little? It's too disappointing, Brother Mu, you can't do it!"

How can a man be told no? !Mu Hongyuan suddenly got up from the ground, and glared at Xiao San with a strong smell of alcohol. "Who do you say can't do it? Come again!"

"Okay!" Xiao San applauded, "Have a backbone! Come again!"

There were only the two of them left on the wine table, the rich businessman went to the toilet, Shen Ling and others were all in the backyard, there was no one to help Mu Hongyuan, and finally even Xiao San couldn't bear it anymore, Mu Hongyuan's face Already red like a ripe peach, with bloodshot eyes, Xiao San patted Mu Hongyuan's shoulder, "I said, hurry up and beg for mercy, I'll let you go, and stop drinking you."

"Damn! If you tell me to beg for mercy, I'll just beg for mercy. How embarrassing will I be!" Mu Hongyuan said with a suffocated breath.

"Okay, okay! I appreciate a guy like you if you are courageous! Come on! Let's drink again!" Xiao San patted Mu Hongyuan on the shoulder.

"I fuck your uncle! Whoever likes to drink will drink! I quit!" Mu Hongyuan slumped on the stool in self-defeating, clutching his head, suffering from a headache.

"Yo, shameless!"

"Who is cheating! Who is it! How can someone drink to death?!" Mu Hongyuan said angrily.

"Cut! If you want to admit defeat and beg for mercy, hurry up, don't be harsh here." Xiao San smiled, obviously very happy.

Mu Hongyuan didn't answer, lying down and pretending to be dead, Xiao San pushed again, Mu Hongyuan still ignored, Xiao San also gradually felt that he had gone too far, if he drank again, Mu Hongyuan might really hurt his body, He no longer insisted, and said: "It's over, I'll let you go, and the grievances between the two of us will be wiped out."

Mu Hongyuan raised his eyelids, but didn't speak.

"Okay, I won't drink you anymore, give me some feedback." Xiao San pushed Mu Hongyuan.

Only then did Mu Hongyuan sit up, with his head hanging down as if he had no bones, and his waist bowed, "I said Xiao San, are you in a good mood now?"

"Okay!" Xiao San smiled openly, poured himself a glass of wine and drank it himself.

"Well, let me show you something." Mu Hongyuan took out a handwritten copy of the official document from his arms, handed it to Xiao San, and said, "Shen Ling doesn't care about him, that person has no big ambitions, he just wants to pass the exam. A scholar, and then be a businessman for the rest of his life, as long as he doesn’t starve to death, he has achieved his goal this time, but you, I don’t know, but don’t be discouraged, this year won’t make it next year! There are opportunities, but if it doesn’t work, I’ll give it to you Write a letter, you go to my elder brother to hang out, it is still a way out, it will not waste your years of studying hard."

Xiao San dumbfoundedly took the official document handed over by Mu Hongyuan, opened it and looked at it, his first reaction was that the words were too ugly, and a series of people’s names behind were omitted with an abbreviated word, and it was also noted that 35 people were omitted here. For the official documents he usually receives, he can drag out the person who wrote the official documents and beat them to death with sticks.

"This is..." Xiao San said speechlessly, who wrote the official document?With this typeface and laziness, he can be removed from the black hat after three days in officialdom.

"The list of scholars on the list this year! I went to my father's study to transcribe it. Well, don't be sad. If you don't have you this year, next year! At least we should be happy for Brother Shen. , I have passed the exam."

Xiao San opened the document again and read it carefully. Sure enough, it was the list of students on the list presented to Mu Futai. Shen Ling was ranked seventh from the bottom, and his name was not there.

Seeing that Xiao San didn't speak, Mu Hongyuan patted him on the shoulder again, "Don't be sad! You see, I can't speak, and I'm a little confused after drinking so much wine. It's okay!" Mu Hongyuan waved his hand, "Follow me! Make sure you don't have to go back to farm!"

Xiao San raised his head and looked at Mu Hongyuan speechlessly, "Who told you that I was a farmer?"

"Huh? Aren't you from Shen Ling's hometown? Shen Ling's hometown is farming in the countryside?" Mu Hongyuan scratched his head in doubt. He seemed to vaguely remember that Xiao San was Shen Ling's relative, right?Because of the exam, I was with Shen Ling temporarily, did I remember wrongly?

So, Mu Hongyuan still regards him as a scholar from a poor peasant family?Did you go to Shen Ling to save money for the exam?Xiao San was speechless and complicated for a moment. If he was Mu Hongyuan, he would never be so close to others when he saw a poor scholar from a farm family, let alone transcribe the list of students on the list for him. , to inquire about inside information.

"Brother Mu, do you regard me as a friend?" Xiao San put away the official document, "Didn't you say last time that I was scheming and you didn't want to treat me as a friend?" He was really angry at Mu Hongyuan that night. It was enough.

Mu Hongyuan tilted his head and thought for a while, he seemed to have said this, he remembered that it was the night when he lived in Shen's house and squeezed on Xiao San's bed, he said it.

Mu Hongyuan patted Xiao San on the shoulder, "That's right! I didn't consider you a friend either! But we are acquaintances anyway, so can I ignore you at all?"

Xiao San nodded, understood, and in Mu Hongyuan's heart, even if he was just an acquaintance, he could be forced to lie down without getting angry, and he could also think of helping him.

If he was Mu Hongyuan, a poor scholar from a humble background dared to treat him like this, and would make him look like a human in a matter of minutes, then he was indeed different from a person like Mu Hongyuan.

Shen Ling had already stepped over, Mu Hongyuan saw Shen Ling coming, he immediately beamed with joy, stretched out his hand to Xiao San and said, "Where's the official document? Hurry up and show it to Brother Shen."

Xiao San took out the collected official document and slapped it on Mu Hongyuan's palm, and said contemptuously: "Don't talk about official documents, if this is an official document, scholars all over the world will gang up on you, it's really embarrassing!" He thought He knew how much Mu Hongyuan tolerated him.

Mu Hongyuan snorted, "I want you to take care of it!" Then he took the official document and walked towards Shen Ling.

"Look quickly, Brother Shen, I copied the list specially for you. You are on the list!"

Xiao San's nose was almost crooked when he heard the words, "Didn't you say you copied it for me?" Xiao San stood up and said.

"By the way, by the way." Mu Hongyuan calmed down casually, and then continued to look at Shen Ling. Obviously, Shen Ling's position in his heart was not on the same level as Xiao San's.

"Really!" Shen Ling was also very pleasantly surprised. Hearing this, he quickly opened the official document and looked for it from the back. Sure enough, he saw his name without much effort. Although it was at the bottom of the list, it was finally on the list. His The purpose is also achieved.

As for going further, not to mention that he really doesn't have that ability, even if he did, it is estimated that the hurdle of the review would not be easy. The first step in the official career is to pass the examination of Juren in this dynasty, so the qualification examination of Juren It is very strict.

Each applicant must register half a year in advance, and the government will send a government official to the applicant's hometown to investigate the life of the applicant and the situation of his ancestors. , must be banned for the job.

Shen Ling is a businessman, it is better not to join in the fun, otherwise even if he has passed the review, the subsequent evaluation will not be very good, even if he tries his best to pass the exam, no one will assign him a position, and it is impossible to find celebrities Daru vouched for him, making him eligible to take the Jinshi examination.

Shen Ling's gaze followed the list to the top few names, and he saw a familiar name. Is Shen San on the list?Shen Ling was stunned for a moment. This person's abilities are really good, and he actually ranked second, and almost topped the list.

Shen Ling put away the official documents, and his joy faded a bit.

"What's wrong?" Mu Hongyuan was puzzled.

"It's nothing." Shen Ling smiled. He couldn't say that he didn't like Shen San, so seeing that he passed No.2 in the exam, he felt unhappy.

Mu Hongyuan didn't ask any more questions.

The rich businessman walked back clutching his stomach, and gave Shen Ling a sad look, but he didn't have the nerve to say that the food in Shen Ling's restaurant was not good, causing people to have diarrhea, so he said: "I have a bad stomach these days, just laugh at it."

Shen Ling nodded, "Uncle Qi, sit down quickly, we'll drink again."

"No, no, no." The wealthy businessman quickly waved his hand, "Didn't you say that your son is serving wine today? Why don't you drink this wine, let's go and see your son!"

"Alright." Shen Ling smiled, this person suddenly appeared today, which saved him a lot of effort, and his attitude towards him was much better.

Several people also went to Han Shi's house together. Seeing Zhaofu, the rich businessman first said a series of good things, and finally took out his jade pendant, stuffed it into Zhaofu's arms, and said: "I am also the grandfather of the child. I met you for the first time today. This is the first time I have met Zhaofu. Let the jade pendant be a meeting gift!"

Seeing that the jade pendant was expensive, Shen Ling quickly declined it, but was firmly rejected by the wealthy businessman, and said to Shen Ling: "If you insist on refusing to accept it, then you won't treat me as your seventh uncle."

At this point, Shen Ling had no choice but to recognize this relative, and he could no longer refuse, and the other party gave such a precious gift as Zhaofu. In the future, if there are weddings and funerals in the other party's family, he should also be present. This is the relationship, the relationship It doesn't matter if you are light, you will become real relatives if you go back and forth a few times.

Mu Hongyuan said strangely after seeing him, "By the way, where is Mu Wu? Where did he go? And my brother?"

The rich merchant said: "I saw him in the toilet just now, I think he has a bad stomach recently!"

Shen Ling didn't say a word, his expression was indifferent, and he wasn't guilty at all. Anyway, the mandarin duck pot had been taken away, and there was no evidence at all.

After the banquet was over, the rich businessman asked Shen Ling's home address, and left his own address to Shen Ling, before leaving with a smile. Mu Wu was only slightly drunk, and there was no problem. Mu Hongyuan was completely lying down. After vomiting So dizzy, she insisted on going home with Shen Ling.

Shen Ling had no choice but to take him back together. He couldn't let Mu Wu, a guy with diarrhea to the point of paleness, help the drunk back. He had to take a carriage to his house first.

Shen Ling asked the buddy to prepare a carriage before loading everyone up.

When they arrived at Shen's house, Mu Wu helped Mu Hongyuan go to Xiao San's house to let Mu Hongyuan rest. Xiao San readily agreed this time, and he didn't dislike Mu Hongyuan getting drunk like this at all, and helped him in.

Shen Ling looked at it coldly, turned back to his house, mixed the evidence of the letters he got into his own land deed, and hid them together. In order to prevent thieves, he always hid his things under the floor tiles, and this movable floor tile was still under the bed. At the bottom, as long as you don't dig three feet into the ground, you will basically not be picked out.

"Okay." Shen Ling clapped his hands and stood up.

"Are you hiding what you got today?" Han Shi sat aside holding Zhao Fu.

Shen Ling nodded, and said: "Yes! Don't mess with this thing, and don't tell it. This thing can kill people!"
