"Why?"
Cheng Jinyan asked without thinking.
After asking this question, he thought about what Shanshui said and began to understand a little.
Taoyuan County Government Office, their new county magistrate, Lord Ji.
Lord Ji took office during the imperial examination period, and many candidates may have only learned today that their Taoyuan County had a new official.
But Cheng Jinyan knew it in the examination room.
He is very confident in his studies. He doesn't do exercises all the time during the exam days. He always needs to rest.
During the second exam, Lord Ji brought people to inspect the examination room.
He was resting at the time and was fortunate enough to see Lord Ji.
At that time, he felt that their Lord Ji looked different from other officials. Of course, he had only seen a few officials in his life.
He felt that Lord Ji was somewhat similar to his family. How was that similar? It was the feeling of protecting one's own people.
It's like I'm allowed to bully my family, and no one else is allowed to bully them.
He didn't know why he had this feeling, and because he was in the examination room at the time, he didn't think too much about it.
"Have you thought of it?"
Seeing Cheng Jinyan's eyes gradually brighten up, Shanshui asked with a smile.
"Yes. But, Uncle Shanshui, our Lord Ji is only the magistrate of Taoyuan County. It was fine in Taoyuan County, but now we have arrived in the capital!"
This was the only thing Cheng Jinyan couldn't understand.
"You came back yesterday, so you might not know this yet. Our Lord Ji is said to be the legitimate son of the second wife of the Marquis Jibei Mansion in the capital. His father is the renowned General Zhennan! He came to Taoyuan County to gain experience. Once he has achieved political success, he can return to become a powerful official in the capital. Therefore, in our small Yunzhou Prefecture, no one dares to disrespect him."
Shanshui explained.
"Wow! Uncle Shanshui, you're so amazing! You even know this!"
Cheng Jinyan's admiring eyes.
"Your second uncle said so."
Shanshui rolled his eyes at Cheng Jinyan. Was this damn kid mocking him?
How could he have the time to get to know dignitaries?
Moreover, for some reason, he had a natural aversion to dignitaries and didn't want to know them or have anything to do with them.
Maybe it’s what his father taught him since he was a child!
"Oh, haha, hehe... By the way, Shanshui, when you just mentioned General Zhennan, your eyes lit up! Could it be that Uncle Shanshui wants to go to the battlefield?"
Cheng Jinyan felt a little embarrassed, as if he had flattered someone but ended up hitting the horse's leg, so he quickly changed the subject.
"I don't want to. My father, your Grandpa Mo, won't let me go. When I was a kid, the imperial court recruited soldiers, and my father just paid me money so I wouldn't have to go to the battlefield. Besides, if I were to marry your aunt, why would I go to the battlefield? It's good enough to live a simple life in Xinghua Village."
There was a hint of relief in Shanshui's tone, but when he talked about Cheng Yue, he returned to normal.
He has already turned twenty-one, and this year he is twenty-two. It is time to end his days of being alone and living in a cold house.
"Hey, Uncle Shanshui, can you tell me how you fell in love with my aunt, and how you made my aunt fall in love with you?"
Cheng Jinyan looked at the mountains and rivers with envy and asked.
He really wanted to know how to make the girl he liked fall in love with him.
"One day I noticed that your aunt looked at me in a strange way, and then I suddenly felt that she had fallen in love with me. To confirm this fact, I observed her every day! In the end, I found that she was a very good girl and it was very comfortable to be with her. So, I wanted to marry her."
