Tang Shiyue said: "Don't blame me for pouring cold water on you. Your idea has little hope."
Chen Changqing suddenly became depressed: "I understand. I just..." He forced a smile: "I just want to see her."
She didn't say anything else, just nodded.
Secret love is actually quite beautiful. If nothing unexpected happens, Chen Changqing and Lin Qiaoqian will get married soon. He can only keep it in his heart, and it will soon be drowned in the daily life. There is no need to wake him up in a hurry.
She said, "Then let's go to the county government office!"
Chen Changqing was delighted: "Okay!"
Tang Shiyue stayed in the county government office for the whole afternoon and chatted with County Magistrate Lin for a while. She came out after dinner. Lin Qiaoqian saw her out as usual, took her arm and chatted with her, not noticing the look of Chen Changqing beside her.
After passing through the Moon Cave Gate, I suddenly heard Chen Changqing say, "Miss Lin, can I talk to you?"
Lin Qiaoqian was stunned.
She looked at Tang Shiyue blankly, then at Chen Changqing.
...
...
Tang Shiyue was also surprised.
She really didn't expect this boy to have such courage, and couldn't help but admire him a little more. She said to Lin Qiaoqian: "This is the youngest son of Zheng in our village. He is my friend and a good person. If you want to agree, agree. If you don't want to agree, don't agree. Don't consider me."
Lin Qiaoqian was a simple-minded young lady. After thinking for a while, she asked, "What do you want to tell me?"
Tang Shiyue said to Chen Changqing: "I can't avoid it, lest it affect Aqiao's reputation, just say it directly."
Chen Changqing's voice trembled, but his eyes were firm. He said, "Miss Lin, my name is Chen Changqing. I like you and want to marry you. Are you willing?"
Lin Qiaoqian's face suddenly turned red.
Chen Changqing continued: "I know I have nothing now, but I will definitely work hard. If you like me, I will ask a matchmaker to come to your house to propose marriage..."
Lin Qiaoqian was so ashamed that she stamped her feet and ran away.
Chen Changqing subconsciously chased after her for two steps, watched her go in, then slowly stopped, and then looked at Tang Shiyue nervously, fearing that she would be angry.
Tang Shiyue raised her eyebrows: "Not bad."
I never noticed this Chen Changqing before, but he actually looks pretty good.
Chen Changyuan is pretty good looking, and Chen Changqing is even more handsome than his elder brother. Tang Shiyue walked out with his hands behind his back, saying, "How are you going to work hard? Tell me about it."
Chen Changqing said softly: "I have reported the clear calculation and want to give it a try."
Because Tang Shirong had just registered for the exam two days ago, Tang Shiyue actually knew the imperial examination of that era in detail.
In addition to the normal imperial examinations, today's Dayan also has four subjects: Mingjing, Mingfa, Mingshu, and Mingsuan.
Mingsuan is a test on mathematics. However, even if one passes the Mingsuan test, one may not be able to be appointed as an official. Even if one is appointed, he can only be a very low-ranking official. Therefore, very few people take the test.
Chen Changqing whispered, "I know all this, but I have never been good at studying since I was young. But I learned the Ten Mathematical Classics very quickly."
"Then why haven't you taken the exam yet?"
Chen Changqing smiled bitterly: "Because the number of candidates is too small, the exam is held every three years, and the candidates need to provide a guarantee. They want five taels of silver, but my father... doesn't want to give it."
From this point of view, Chen Lizheng's knowledge is not as good as that of the old patriarch.
Tang Shiyue nodded: "Then work hard. If you can pass the Ming Suan exam and are not given an official position, you can come and help me. I will also try to ask Ah Qiao for your opinion."
Chen Changqing was overjoyed and knelt down in the street: "Thank you, Mr. Tang."
Tang Shiyue sighed and nodded.
Just for his courage, she was willing to help him this time.
After all, the Mingsuan exam is not as complicated as the county exam, the provincial exam, and the Mingsuan exam is only one exam, and only one subject. The results will be out by the end of February, which is only a few days away. This time, Lin Qiaoqian hasn't mentioned marriage yet. It's the New Year, so it shouldn't be decided so soon, right?
When he got home, there was a guest waiting for him and Xia Yuhui was chatting with him.
This man also came from Chang'an City and was the owner of Fuji Cloth Shop.
This is the fourth group of people who have come in the past few days.
Thanks to the emperor's celebrity effect, the people who came to see her were of high status. The man from Fu Ji was also the second young master of the family, named Cao Yun, with the courtesy name Rongbin. He was a slightly fat uncle with a very nice face.
Although Fu Ji's business is far inferior to that of the Meng family, it has a good reputation. At least Tang Shiyue had seen this name during Huo Qijing's previous investigation.
People who do business under the feet of the emperor usually do not have a strong sense of commercialism. Cao Rongbin is also knowledgeable, humorous in conversation, and seems much more straightforward than Meng Yiqiu.
All previous businesses with similar scope to the Meng family were rejected by Tang Shiyue. However, Fu Ji was a little different. It did not make clothes but specialized in accessories, such as warm sleeves, hats, headbands, and bunny heads.
So, he also came for the accessories, mainly the four and a half treasures.
Cao Rongbin spoke very to the point and the two of them had a very pleasant conversation. Xia Yuhui also had a good impression of him, so Tang Shiyue did not refuse outright and agreed to consider it.
Cao Rongbin was not in a hurry, so he said goodbye temporarily, left the inn where he was staying, and invited them to visit him tomorrow.
After he left, Tang Shiyue took out the information about Fu Ji and read it again, and felt that this could be done.
Although nothing has been finalized with the Meng family, after all, they have been negotiating for so many days. Tang Shiyue feels that she should still tell Meng Yiqiu about this matter.
But this Meng Yiqiu, when I wasn't looking for him, he was always around. Today, when I went to look for him, he was not there and didn't come back in the evening.
The next day, Tang Shiyue went there first when going to town.
When I went there, I didn't know if he hadn't woken up yet. He just responded in the room but didn't come out.
Tang Shiyue waited outside the door for a cup of tea. She became impatient and knocked again. After a while, he finally came out. He was dressed very neatly and did not look like he had left in a hurry.
Tang Shiyue said: "Second Young Master Meng, I..."
Meng Yiqiu waved his hand and interrupted her: "I have something to do here, you go back first."
Tang Shiyue was stunned: "I have something to ask you."
Meng Yiqiu's expression was indifferent. He just said, "I don't have time." Then he left, but his steps did not seem anxious.
Tang Shiyue was speechless and could only turn around and go downstairs. Xia Yuhui was waiting in the carriage. He put down the book when he saw her coming: "What took you so long?" He glanced behind her: "Strange, this person didn't follow you."
Tang Shiyue got on the carriage and was about to complain when she was suddenly stunned.
At that moment, a strange feeling passed through her heart.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, deduced it in her mind, and then successfully grasped this strange feeling.
He had once inexplicably turned cold for no apparent reason, and then recovered as if he had lost his memory. Today, he turned cold again for no apparent reason... He didn't open the door, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry. He said he had something to do, but he didn't say what it was...
**.
This is clearly a kind of **.
I am gentle, attentive, and caring towards you... No matter how you react, I will treat you like this, without any regrets, as if I will always be the same.
But one day, I suddenly changed, without any warning, and became cold all of a sudden. No matter how insensitive you were, you would have been able to notice it.
In this way, even if you have no interest in him at all, you will inevitably feel a little lost and can't help but worry about him.
Then after a day or two, he completely recovered, as if his previous coldness had never happened, and he became even more gentle and considerate than before...
Then one day, he suddenly became cold again...
If this happens two or three times, almost no one can remain unaffected by their emotions.
This is **.
She had absolutely no interest in him, yet she was affected in spite of herself.
Well, today's matter, to put it bluntly, was Yuefang's own business, didn't she think about coming here to tell him? And if it was someone else, she might have sent Xia Yuhui to run errands, but didn't she just go up by herself as usual?
