Chapter 2 What? I don’t deserve this!
"Stay with me, I will treat you well!"
The man who was speaking was not dressed cheaply, but his thin frame could not support the luxury of the clothes at all. Instead, the clothes made him look unworthy of his position. He had dark bags under his eyes, lips that were so white that they looked bloodless, and eyes that pretended to be affectionate but could not hide the vulgar glances. All these made his promise unconvincing and made him feel disgusted, as if he was being stalked by flies.
This sentence was so devastating that everyone fell silent.
Su Jinghe, a college student who had received nine years of compulsory education and was watching behind the crowd, was even more furious. He was madly criticizing in his heart, as if he saw a shameless toad morally blackmailing the white swan.
[This is crazy. What's the point of this grateful tone?!]
[I don't want to be eaten up by a stranger who came from nowhere, so why would I want to be the eighteenth concubine of a useless idiot like you?!]
Su Jinghe originally thought that this person was very capable, and just then the system popped up a "hot search bar" about Wang Hefeng. Su Jinghe couldn't wait to go in and take a look.
The title is also interesting -
The gambler’s “highlight moment”: I bet there are no bullets in your gun!
I thought it was a strategic "gamble", but it turned out to be a real gamble. He was a compulsive gambler, incompetent, with a bad temper. He bullied the servants at home and bullied men and women outside.
The highlight of this title is that he learned that Prime Minister Lu was looking for someone who knew about both of these things, so...
Come forward and impersonate!
After reading about Wang Hefeng's shameful past, Su Jinghe just hoped that this person would be exposed as soon as possible!!!
If Lu Xiang finds out that he is lying, he will be skinned alive if not dead!
Wanting to expose Wang Hefeng, Su Jinghe moved in closer and started chatting with others about "Wang Hefeng" intentionally or unintentionally.
There are so many people here! Didn't anyone remember how much of a jerk this guy was?!
Su Jinghe's anxiety was about to overflow from his heart, but he didn't know that his feelings were also being expressed to his colleagues here.
Of course, he didn't know that the moment he heard the "voice of his heart", Wang Hefeng had already become a walking corpse in Lu Yijian's heart.
The true "voice" is still ringing in everyone's ears, but this "fake" doesn't even hear anything and is still jumping around.
Because the "corpse" is not a court official and cannot hear the content of Chen Yijin's thoughts, he is still trying to use his own twisted logic and heresy to deceive Chen Yijin.
"Scholars, farmers, merchants, and artisans, you know your family's status well. So what if you, an orphan girl, can support this store? Wouldn't you just give in easily when you meet that kind of scum? It would be different if you followed me... ah!"
The last sound was made when Wang Hefeng was splashed with water in the face by the bucket in Chen Yijin's hand and he couldn't dodge it.
Not only that, Chen Yijin was so angry at his words that he lost his mind and turned around to get a new bucket.
"You, I can help you. You see, you're not very strong, right?"
Wang Hefeng was furious when the water was splashed on him, but he knew that some things didn't need to be rushed. For example, this damn woman could wait until after they got married. Wouldn't that let him do whatever he wanted? With this thought in mind, he could still force a smile.
But in Chen Yijin's eyes, the smile was no different from that of a weasel!
"Go to hell!" Chen Yijin shouted angrily, then scooped a spoonful of "white powder" from the new wooden barrel and poured it in front of Wang Hefeng.
"Ah!" This was Wang Hefeng's voice.
"Hiss——" This is the sound of burning.
It's a bit hot indeed.
After the crowd dispersed, Su Jinghe also felt the heat.
The heating reaction of quicklime when it came into contact with water was more powerful than the little experiments he had done on his own when he was in school. After all, he didn't have so much quicklime powder to sprinkle at that time.
He saw clearly that Chen Yijin even felt a little regretful after she had sprinkled the water on Wang Hefeng. The kind girl put the bucket cover back on and placed it in a clean place without water.
[Really? I thought Boss Han Qi would just ask Ms. Chen to go back. With so many officials in the Song Dynasty just sitting there doing nothing but eating nothing, why not let Chen Yijin replace some of them as an official? That way, she would have the confidence to make a living. I didn't expect him to let this person replace the previous one who was eating nothing. Sigh...]
[But speaking of it, Boss Han Qi...]
"Make way, everyone, make way~"
When Su Jinghe was thinking about this, he heard a voice behind him. After he made way, he found that it was Han Qi.
There were so many people surrounding him, but not one of them was Han Qi!
Is this too abstract? Is this the Chinese mentality of eating melons?
Su Jinghe really had some hallucinations——
This is so much like a crowd of onlookers gathering to enjoy a melon, only to find out that one of the main characters couldn't get in at all because there were too many people!
Su Jinghe's idea was not wrong, except that Han Qi was not squeezed by the audience and could not get in. He went to Kaifeng Mansion first instead of coming here directly.
He is different from Wang Hefeng. Wang Hefeng directly made up the story that the engagement was fake on the spot, but Han Qi couldn't do that. As the person assigned by His Majesty to be responsible, he didn't want to give people a chance to criticize him, so he went to Kaifeng Prefecture to investigate the past.
Because the scumbag was not a native of Kaifeng, he even went to great lengths to recruit people from Kaifeng over the years.
It turned out that the man had never been to Kaifeng, let alone his family!
After getting the evidence, Han Qi rushed in and heard Su Jinghe's thoughts on the spot.
What a coincidence! If he had come a little later, his ability would probably have been questioned!
Han Qi took a deep breath and glared at Lu Yijian who was watching the show - he was focused on finding evidence, so he naturally entrusted the scene to someone capable of maintaining it. Who would have thought that Lu Yijian was not in charge of the overall situation at all!
Even when he just came in, Han Qi saw Lu Yijian looking around.
He just wanted to use Chen Yijin and Wang Hefeng to fish!
In order to find out the real person behind the voice, Lu Yijian did not believe in the existence of gods. Instead, he preferred to believe that this was someone's voice, but it was heard by everyone by accident. Of course, Han Qi thought this was quite unreasonable.
There was no time to care about these things. Han Qi took the official documents and showed them to Chen Yijin. Chen Yijin studied fireworks and could read. After reading these contents, he relaxed completely.
Wang Hefeng in front of her said without knowing what was good for him, "Master Han, I..."
"You!" Chen Yijin thought of this person, his eyes became sharp again, and one hand quietly reached out to the wooden barrel that had just been placed, like a hedgehog whose quills exploded due to stimulation, and he would fight back as long as Wang Hefeng made any movement.
[Will there be any other documents, such as a direct appointment of Chen Yijin?]
Su Jinghe had not followed the path Han Qi had "opened" to go inside. He was still on the periphery and could not see the situation inside very clearly, but he heard people saying things like "The engagement is fake".
It is inevitable to have further speculation, which is naturally the cognition brought to him by the feudal society. If he has an official position, Chen Yijin will not be an ordinary person. In this way, he will not be afraid of people like that bastard scumbag Jinshi or a bold fool like Wang Hefeng!
Han Qi had just protected Chen Yijin when he heard the words "heart voice" and his whole body froze.
Although His Majesty has given him full responsibility and His Majesty and the prime ministers can cover the consequences if anything happens, Han Qi really cannot just bring people into the court casually!
His stiffness gave Chen Yijin an illusion, and Chen Yijin quickly stood in front of Han Qi.
"Sir, I can handle my own affairs. I will handle them."
When he said "solve it", Chen Yijin glared at Wang Hefeng in front of him fiercely, as if he was going to kill him on the spot. Wang Hefeng broke out in cold sweat on his back, and his clothes, which had just been dried by the heat, were soaked again.
"It's okay, come to our Privy Council, we have a place for Miss Chen Yijin!"
Su Jinghe's eyes lit up. This was the voice of his boss Zhang Dexiang!
Yes, yes, they have a place in the Privy Council!
This is also closely related to the redundant soldiers and officials in the Northern Song Dynasty, but the wealthy positions and people who draw salaries without working just provide an opportunity to make room for those in need!
"Sir?" Chen Yijin looked at Zhang Dexiang who spoke in shock. She didn't know which sir this was, but she recognized the official uniform.
"Master Zhang!" This was Wang Hefeng. He didn't know that he had lost his identity as "Xinsheng" and even thought that Zhang Dexiang was messing things up.
If he couldn't solve this problem, he might not be able to prove his identity as "someone who knows Wang Gang and Chen Yijin"!
"Make way."
Su Jinghe was still paying attention to the developments when he was suddenly patted on the shoulder. He turned around and saw that it was the guard who had just chatted with him.
Su Jinghe smiled out of habit, but froze the next second, because behind the handsome yet simple face of the guard brother, there was an even more handsome but intimidating face!
"Your Majesty..." Before Su Jinghe could shout out, he was pulled behind him by the eldest guard. His Majesty Zhao Zhen smiled back at the man and walked in leisurely.
"Our Privy Council can do it." Zhao Zhen spoke in accordance with Zhang Dexiang's words. Although there were many ministers around, there were also common people who had come to see him. The common people really didn't know the face of the current emperor. In addition, there were so many people and eyes, so it was safer to "visit in disguise".
"If Miss Chen wants to get married, she can choose her own partner..." When Zhao Zhen spoke, he also glanced at the expressions of important officials such as Lu Yijian, and he really believed in the co-governance of scholars and officials.
He was afraid that at tomorrow's morning court session, he would not only have to worry about his "inner voice" suddenly cursing the Song Dynasty, but also about the "earnest teachings" from these important officials.
His observation of his words and expressions once again gave Chen Yijin the illusion that there must be one, and in desperation she pointed at Su Jinghe who was standing on the periphery.
"If I had to marry someone, I'd choose him!"
Following her finger, everyone looked over.
"Why?! Am I not better than this poor fellow?!"
It was also very shocking, the sound was so loud that it hurt everyone's ears.
No, what does this have to do with me?
"I, my marriage needs the decision of my elders." Su Jinghe thought about it for a few seconds, but after he said it, he hated himself for not thinking quickly enough.
It would be bad if this answer was misunderstood!
"It doesn't have to be marriage, right?" Su Jinghe looked at his boss for help.
When Zhang Dexiang found out that the person being pointed out was from his own department, his face froze. This kid had just lost his memory, and he was at a loss after hearing the answer. He took two or three steps forward to protect him.
"Yes, it's better to decide on marriage later. First, establish a career and then start a family. After joining the Privy Council, there will be many opportunities to meet people."
The others also hurriedly began to comfort Chen Yijin. It didn't matter if they lost this subordinate, as they could still learn more about the "fireworks improvement" before Chen Yijin joined the company.
In short, leave a good impression on people and maintain good relationships in case of emergency!
Also, if there are still some fish that have escaped the net in this damp warehouse, it would be nice to let them watch the fireworks that can explode in the sky.
Chen Yijin’s official position could not be decided for the time being, but her “marriage matter” was settled, and she had the right to choose her future partner.
As for Wang Hefeng.
Before Su Jinghe got off work, he heard that Wang Hefeng was guilty of "deceiving the emperor", that the Wang family was shielding him, and that his entire family was going to be confiscated and exiled.
But he didn't want to eat this melon anymore.
Someone is coming to his house!
Su Jinghe, a time traveler who used drowning as an excuse for amnesia, had his uncle come to his hometown to care for him!
Su Jinghe brought his uncle and aunt back home. As soon as they met, he told his uncle that he had lost his memory and could not remember anything and could not recognize people. After receiving the love of the two elders, Su Jinghe resolutely decided -
Be a good Su Jinghe!
His family is so nice too!!
"Nephew, why don't we live outside?" The uncle was worried that his moving in would cause trouble for his nephew.
"How can that be? This house is bought. It's very big, big enough for us to live in!" The original person was a man with money to spend freely, and Su Jinghe didn't want his uncle and aunt, who were tired from traveling, to have to go through the trouble of finding a place to live.
"Isn't my uncle preparing for the exam? I still remember him. Living together can help my uncle do well in the exam!" The fact that he was good at taking exams was also the reason why his family chose him and sent him money. Fortunately, Su Jinghe also remembered a little, and with the experience he had accumulated from exam-oriented education, he should be able to cope with it.
For this purpose, Su Jinghe even collected his original academic notebook from home and helped organize the books brought by his uncle into the study.
"I'm not studying at home right now, so the study is empty anyway. It's perfect for my uncle to come and study!"
While cleaning up, he saw a major event that shocked him personally, which was clearly written on the title page of the book.
"Su Mingyun"
Three vigorous and powerful characters.
Under his uncle's somewhat strange gaze, Su Jinghe was shocked in his heart.
[Su Xun is actually my uncle! ! My dear! ]
Su Shi and Su Zhe weren't even born yet! Are they my younger cousins?!
[Wait a minute—did I just promise to help my uncle pass the imperial examination?! No, how could I possibly deserve that?!]
Su Xun, one of the "Three Su's" and "one of the Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties", was one of the famous "Northern Song Heavenly Group" in the Northern Song Dynasty. His literary achievements crushed Su Jinghe and he went from Bian Jing to Paris easily.
but--
He can learn but not take the test!
After failing the imperial examinations many times, he finally gave up!
[Can I really help my uncle overcome the imperial examination curse? ]
The light in Su Jinghe's eyes disappeared.
