Chapter 718: Clingy

Coincidentally, Jiang Fubao also came out of the Jiang family. Under Shen Hechi's shameless persuasion, he got on the Jiang family's carriage, sat outside with Pan Shitou, and drove towards the city gate.

"Why are you so stubborn? You're just a successful candidate in the imperial examination, not the top scorer. Yet you're so arrogant. You just look better, but you really think you're so great." Matchmaker Xu watched the carriage leave. She spat on the ground and cursed in a voice that only she could hear.

Then she left angrily.

"Matchmaker Xu, what's going on? Any good news?" Matchmaker Xu came to the Wang family.

Wang Chen came over from the backyard impatiently and looked at her anxiously.

"Sigh, I'm sorry I can't do anything. I've been a matchmaker for so long, but this is the first time I've met such a rude young man. I advise you to change the candidate. I don't think this guy is suitable. He is too arrogant.

Even if you really marry him, I'm afraid your precious daughter will suffer. Besides, I've heard that his parents passed away a long time ago. Such a man will definitely bring misfortune to his parents and his wife..."

Matchmaker Xu held a grudge against Shen Hechi and demoted him again and again, making Wang Chen no longer have any thoughts about him.

"Forget it. Marrying someone like this might bring bad luck someday. Matchmaker Xu, please find a good match for my daughter. It must be someone who is blessed with good fortune and a long life. Don't be like Mr. Shen."

Wang Chen no longer wanted to cling to Shen Hechi.

She specifically asked the matchmaker to find a blessed man for her daughter.

As for fame and family background, they come second.

Shen Hechi didn't know all this. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care. Anyway, he had ruined his reputation when he was in the imperial city.

Otherwise, he would have no way of escaping the clutches of those high-ranking officials and would have returned to Lianshan Town alone.

His appearance is comparable to Meng Bujiu's, and his talent is even better. Although he did not make it into the first class, he is only seventeen years old this year, while the top two and third place winners are all in their thirties or even forties.

He has a bright future ahead of him.

Many officials in the court took a fancy to him and wanted to capture him and make him their son-in-law.

However, a rumor had been circulating in the imperial city since some time ago, saying that Shen Hechi was born with an unlucky star, who had killed his own mother and father, and would definitely bring bad luck to his wife and children in the future.

Although the rumors were suppressed, no one wanted to marry their daughter to him anymore.

You can get away safely without offending anyone.

All of them were Shen Hechi's own work.

He spent money to bribe beggars in the imperial city and spread the rumor everywhere. Others didn't know who he was, and his name was not passed on. They just said that the new candidate was doomed to fail.

Shen Hechi had inquired about it. The current emperor never believed in ghosts and gods. Even if he knew that he was doomed, he would still use him as long as he had talent.

At that time, Shen Hechi had already arrived at Jiangjia Village.

He stuck to Jiang Fubao and went to the medicinal fields in Jiangjia Village together.

Fortunately, Pan Erya and Pan Shitou followed them, otherwise if the two of them were walking together, I'm afraid the rumors would have spread long ago.

Jiang Fubao was very upset.

This person couldn't be chased away, as if he didn't understand what people were saying and insisted on following me.

She wasn't the type to cause trouble, and there was no conflict between the two of them.

Shen Hechi had given her gifts several times before, so based on this, she couldn't just turn a cold shoulder to him, so she could only take him back to Jiangjia Village.

"Fubao, who is this?" The gossiping villagers pulled Jiang Fubao aside and asked in a low voice.

"The neighbor who lives opposite my house said that he wanted to come to the village to look at the medicinal herbs. Maybe he wants to sell them." Jiang Fubao lied casually.

"Oh, I thought you and him, ahem, nothing."

"Don't talk nonsense, Aunt Qiu Fen. He's going to be an official in the imperial city soon. If you talk nonsense and he finds out, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Jiang Fubao brought out Shen Hechi's identity to scare her.

Wang Qiufen immediately shut up. "Oh my, this young master is so powerful? How come he is going to be an official? Is there anyone in his family? Or?" She widened her eyes and was shocked.

"No, he just passed the imperial examination and got first place in the second class. He is really amazing," Jiang Fubao explained.

Soon, the news that Shen Hechi was a Jinshi spread in the village.

He was surrounded by a group of women, and the chattering questions came at him.

Shen Hechi looked at Jiang Fubao with eyes as if asking for help, but Jiang Fubao pretended to be stupid.

"Hey, Mr. Shen, you are quite popular with the aunts. In that case, you can play here for a while. I have something to do in Zhoujia Village and will be back later." Jiang Fubao ran away with Pan Erya and Pan Shitou.

The two villages are close enough that there is no need to take a carriage.

Hurry up and you'll be there in no time.

This time she came back, she was here to observe the medicinal herbs. The two villages grew the same plants, so naturally she wanted to take a look at both.

Half an hour later, she returned the same way. As soon as she arrived at the door of her house, she saw Shen Hechi looking at her with resentful eyes.

"What's going on?" Jiang Fubao asked knowingly.

"Nothing. Do you want to have lunch here?" Shen Hechi thought about it and still didn't say anything.

These villagers were so crazy that they even dragged their daughters and granddaughters in front of him and said they wanted to marry him.

It was no use for him to refuse, and he finally hid in Jiang's house and closed the door, thus escaping the disaster.

He dared to open the door only after everyone had dispersed, and what followed was what Jiang Fubao saw.

He looked at the only road in the village like a wife-waiting stone.

Looking forward to Jiang Fubao's quick return.

"Let's go back and eat. There's still time. It'll be noon when we get to town." Jiang Fubao said and got on the carriage, followed by Pan Erya.

Pan Shitou and Shen Hechi still sat in the front.

The carriage left Jiangjia Village but was stopped by a group of people at the entrance of the village.

"Doctor Jiang, please come out. We have something to ask you."

The noisy sound prompted Jiang Fubao to lift the curtain of the carriage and look inside.

It turned out that they were villagers from Sunjia Village, and there were at least a dozen of them.

The leader was her second aunt's family.

She didn't know the rest of them, they were all strong men. If you didn't know them, you would think they were here to fight.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Fubao didn't want to go down. Pan Erya took over her hand and lifted the curtain. Jiang Fubao leaned lazily in the carriage and asked.

"Didn't you say you would give us the medicinal seeds this year? It's summer now, when will you give them to us?"

Sun Mugen questioned her righteously.

"When did I say I would give them to you in the summer? Where would I get so many medicinal seeds? Didn't I tell you at the beginning? I would give them to you when I got enough medicinal seeds, which would take at least two or three years. I never mentioned that I would give them to you in the summer!" Jiang Fubao's words stunned the Sun family.

The villagers also glared at them.

"What's going on? Didn't you say that you would let us plant it this year? Did you lie to us?"

"Yeah, that's what you told us at the beginning, and now it has become at least two or three years?"

"I think you are deliberately tricking us into working for your family. How shameless."

"Okay, okay, stop talking."

"......"
