Chapter 74 My maidservant Fangling is eighteen years old and still unmarried. I think you, sir, are a good match for me.
The scholar-looking man was taken aback, turned around, and tapped the little boy on the head.
"No!" The man looked at the peach tree, his eyes suddenly lighting up. He glanced around, and seeing no one was watching, secretly picked a blossom...
Before the little boy could react, he had already placed the peach blossom on the boy's head.
"No..." The little boy shook his hand and then tried to take it off.
"No, you can't take it off unless you say so!" the man said firmly.
The little boy was silent for a moment, then turned his back to the man, clearly somewhat angry.
The man didn't seem to care much; he reached out and grabbed the little boy by the collar.
Let's go!
The thousand-year-old peach tree trembled slightly as they passed by, as if it were filled with a hint of joy.
After passing the peach tree, the man paused slightly and withdrew his hand from the back of the little boy's neck.
He even thoughtfully straightened her collar.
The little boy wasn't surprised; he glanced around.
At the entrance of Tangjia Village stands a stone tablet. The tablet was written by Tang Cheng's grandfather when he first arrived. Decades have passed, and it now bears the marks of time.
At that moment, an old woman was sitting on the rock, basking in the sun. Her face was deeply lined and dark.
She squinted, as if she were asleep.
"Auntie, I'd like to ask where the village chief lives?" The man's voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of frightening the old woman.
The old woman, who was sunbathing, opened her eyes and looked at the man.
Suddenly, the old woman stood up, jumped off the rock, and rushed towards the man.
The man instinctively wanted to back away, but then he saw the old woman standing in front of the little boy, taking out a piece of candy from her bosom.
"Eat..." She laughed like a three-year-old child.
The man was taken aback, then heard the old woman's slightly childish voice say, "It's delicious, here you go!"
"No need, ma'am, his teeth are bad, he can't eat. Just tell us where the village chief lives!" The man knew this kid never liked accepting things from others, so he sighed and was about to explain.
Then I saw that this brat actually took the candy.
Although he didn't eat it, he put it in his small pocket.
The man's lips twitched, and just as he was about to speak, he saw the old woman raise her head and look at him.
"What length?"
The man had a bad feeling, but he still asked, "Where does the village chief live?"
"Village what?"
man……
"The village chief's house!" He was already gritting his teeth; this old woman was doing it on purpose!
The old lady looked up, listened attentively, and then said, "Oh...you want to go to my house? My house is right there. I have a daughter who is eighteen this year. Young man, I see you are all alone. Why don't you marry my daughter?"
The man is numb!
Without saying a word, he picked up the little boy and rushed into the village.
So you could see the old lady chasing after him, while the man walked briskly ahead.
This scene is a bit too much to bear to look at!
"What's going on?!" Yun Qi was completely taken aback, her beautiful face turning into a somewhat ferocious expression.
"Village chief, where is the village chief of Tangjia Village!" he shouted as he ran, not caring about his appearance at all.
Xiao Su Bao had just finished eating when Tang Da Bao took her to the village to find Tang Xin to play. However, as soon as they stepped outside, they saw the back of a strange man.
The man was carrying a little boy on his shoulder; he was clearly not a respectable person.
What respectable person would mess with Grandma Bai!
Tang Dabao protected his aunt, his eyes warily fixed on the stranger in front of him.
"Young master, don't run away! I am Fangling, eighteen years old and still unmarried. I think you are my destined one, so why don't we get married today?"
Suddenly, the old woman spoke in the voice of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.
Little Su Bao was immediately stunned.
"Grandma is so amazing!" Little Su Bao swallowed hard and couldn't help but say.
Tang Dabao saw the old lady and, mimicking his father, sighed and said, "She's a pitiful person too!"
Xiao Su Bao turned to look at Tang Da Bao, clearly wanting to continue listening.
"Oh dear, does anyone know which family has the village chief? I need to find your village chief!" Yun Qi wasn't in very good health to begin with, and now she was even more tired.
The little boy on my shoulder was so jolted that he almost threw up.
He looked up and saw Xiao Su Bao, and was immediately stunned.
He felt like he'd seen this girl somewhere before!
He forcefully suppressed the nausea and patted Yun Qi's shoulder with his small hand.
"Why are you taking pictures of me? Let me tell you, I will never marry an old lady, you brat, don't even think about ruining me!"
Yunmo paused, then used both hands to turn his head towards Xiaosubao and the others.
Yun Qi breathed a sigh of relief and rushed towards the two children.
"Young man, are your parents home? Otherwise, could you tell me where your village chief lives?" Yun Qi called out, but she ran even faster.
Tang Dabao hid the small crispy treasure behind his back and glanced at the two of them.
Before Yun Qi could ask any more questions, he poked his head into the yard and said, "Father, someone is looking for you!"
Yun Qi...
Half an hour later...
Tang Shan coaxed the old lady of the Bai family back home and asked Bai Yinjun to keep an eye on her.
Yun Qi sat in the Tang family's living room.
Sun Cuihua poured him a cup of water infused with wild tea leaves.
He took several sips and found the taste to be excellent.
"So, you're a scholar now?" Tang Cheng's eyes lit up, slightly excited.
He had wanted to open a village school for the past few years, but unfortunately the village had no money and his own family didn't have much either.
He had previously obtained some silver from Village Chief Zhao and had also asked for some interest!
If the scholar had asked for less, the children might have been able to continue their studies!
"Exactly!" Yun Qi's smile was gentle and open, her eyes revealing righteousness.
Tang Cheng was confident that he could judge people accurately.
Sitting to the side, Madam Qian was also sizing up the scholar. Although she came from a bandit's den, she had also studied.
Holding her baby, she waited until they finished talking before asking, "Since you passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, why did you come to our poor mountain village?"
Although a scholar who has passed the county-level imperial examination is not as accomplished as a graduate who has passed the provincial-level imperial examination, it would be much better for him to become a teacher in the county town or other places.
"Because of him!" Yun Qi said helplessly, reaching out to pat her nephew's head.
“My son Mo Bao’s parents had an accident, and he was there at the time. He witnessed his parents’ tragic death and was so frightened that he could no longer speak. I had no choice but to take him everywhere to seek medical help.”
Yunmo frowned and shifted his feet in dissatisfaction.
As soon as he moved, he felt someone watching him, so he looked up.
Little Su Bao was hiding in Qian Shi's arms, secretly watching him.
As if sensing a kindred spirit, Xiao Su Bao gave Mo Bao a sweet smile.
