One year older, born in the year of the dog, still a lucky dog at the end of the year.
An inexplicable feeling of joy rose up in Zhang Wenbo's ignorant heart. He didn't know what he was happy about, but he just felt inexplicably... pleasing the girl next to Xianjin?
They both have beautiful looks. Jin Jie'er looks like a skinny mantis spirit, while this Miss Chen looks like a very smooth and round piece of jade.
Although her personality is hard to tell now, since Jin Jie'er can get along well with others, her character should be beyond doubt - are you kidding! It is spreading like wildfire in Qingcheng Mountain Court that Jin Jie'er is the closed-door female disciple of Shanzhang Qiao!
There are even crazier rumors, saying that Principal Qiao attempted to have Sister Jin's children dress up as men in order to win the title of top scholar.
He almost wanted to roll his eyes.
Jin Jie'er is indeed a thin and tall mantis spirit, and her appearance is more heroic and bright, so it can be said that she has no pressure to dress up as a man.
but!
What is the purpose of Director Qiao doing this?
What we are playing for is a heartbeat, what we are playing for is excitement, what we are playing for is a game of jumping back and forth on the edge of danger, where a woman disguises herself as a man and her entire clan will be executed after being discovered?
This is obviously unreasonable!
Zhang Wenbo has his own opinion on Principal Qiao personally coming out to guide Jin Jie'er.
The views are immature and even a bit fanciful, but they are absolutely original and well-founded - Principal Qiao wants to hire Jin Jie'er as his daughter-in-law!
Qiao Baoyuan is not a pushover.
It is said that after Qiao Baoyuan passed the imperial examination and was sent to the capital by Qiao Shanzhang to see the world, a girl from a county lady's family fell in love with him. He was impatient with the girl's mole under her mouth, so he made a big fuss about being a homosexual. He claimed that he was not a homosexual, and also claimed that the young man from his aunt's family next door was in love with him, and the two of them were in a relationship that only needed to break through the secular prejudice to live together...
Now, not only did the girl from the county lord's family give up the idea, but all the girls from the ten prefectures and twenty-four counties in Northern Zhili also cut off all their desires for the young champion of the provincial examination and the handsome and dashing prince of the Ningyuan Marquis' family.
At the same time, the yellow broom stick that had hit Qiao Baoyuan hard was also broken.
After Qiao Baoyuan returned to Jing County, he was interrupted by Chief Qiao himself.
This beautiful story is well-known in Qingcheng Mountain Temple.
Zhang Wenbo just laughs “hehehe” when he thinks about it.
When Xianjin raised his eyes, he saw a idiotic smile on Zhang Wenbo's young face. He couldn't help feeling relieved. The little superstitious boy from the landlord's family was quite discerning. He smiled as soon as he saw their Zuo Niang.
Xianjin glanced at Zuo Niang who lowered her eyes, and decided to act as a matchmaker. He pointed out Zhang Wenbo's idiocy with a sidelong glance, "...Bo'er, why are you grinning like an idiot!"
Zhang Wenbo: "Hehehe, I'm reminded of the story of Qiao Hui being beaten to a pulp by the headmaster!"
Xianjin: "..."
Let you look at the girl, all you can think about is men getting beaten!
Your marriage is in crisis, it has nothing to do with metaphysics, it all depends on your own efforts.
Xianjin took a deep breath and was about to speak when he heard Zuo Niang curiously ask, "Is Qiao Hui the youngest champion in Qingcheng Mountain Academy? Why did his father beat him so hard?"
Zhang Wenbo perked up, his eyes sparkling, and he told the story of Qiao Hui and the Ningyuan Marquis's son forming a beautiful couple in a vivid and moving way, and commented with relish, "These two can be considered brothers in distress. One is now staying in Jing County and being watched over by his father to study, and the other is staying in Fujian to catch hairtail. The two old bachelors are each suffering their own hardships."
Xianjin smacked his lips.
Qiao Hui is a real tiger.
Zuo Niang exclaimed, "Wow!" and straightened her back to ask, "So these two have never been engaged? Is the county lady's daughter engaged? What if they are not engaged? Are they really going to live together? How can they live like this? Oh my--"
Xianjin's mind was full of the word "engagement". At the end, he was afraid that Zuo Niang would ask such a slightly stupid gossip as "Is the hairtail in the sea of Fujian engaged?"
While Zhang Wenbo and Zuo Niang were gossiping together, Xianjin quickly slipped to the backyard to nail the cabinet and left the lock on to prevent rumors of unmarried men and women being in the same room.
When it was almost dark, Xianjin had finished clearing out the goods that were to be put on the shelves for the opening the day before. When he pulled aside the wooden bamboo curtain and came out of the backyard, he could hear the gossiping voices of Zhang Wenbo and Chen Zuo'niang.
One asked, "Did that concubine really elope with the monk?"
One of them answered, "Who said it wasn't? The rich family thought the concubine had secretly returned to her parents' home, so they took a few servants to catch her. Instead, they found the couple in the courtyard next to the temple. The concubine had yellow mud on her face and the monk had a wig on his head. They were preparing to flee from the east to the west of the mountain!"
Xianjin was confused by what he heard.
How come in just one afternoon, the gossip topic changed from a straight man getting beaten for pretending to be gay to the affair of a concubine in Shandong?
Whether it's the span of time or space, it's too big...
Xianjin completely opened the bamboo curtain and saw Zhang Wenbo lying on the bar with his butt hunched over, and Zuo Niang holding a cup of tea with a smile on her face. The two of them had a heated discussion about what to do with the escaped concubine.
There is no difference between these two people. This is the first time I see them today.
Xianjin looked at Suoer.
Suo'er drooped his eyelids tiredly and helplessly, and mouthed, "Always. Chatting."
Xian Jinfang suddenly realized that suffering brings people together, and so does gossip!
If they can chat about gossip together, how can they have different values?
Xianjin silently took two steps back, leaving the two mandarin ducks with ample space for gossip.
...
After this afternoon, Zhang Wenbo's appearance around the Chen family's old house became more frequent. At noon, he even came to the workshop with Chen Jianfang to have lunch. After eating, he dozed off on the rocking chair in the yard.
