Although Chu Dalang was at the bottom of the rankings in the college entrance examination, he was still a genuine scholar. He was a man of status and fame. Even if he failed the rural examination, it would not affect his status in the county school.

After all, in this place of Linyong, there are too few scholars who have reached the crown. He is young and promising, coupled with his good looks, and he is used to pretending on weekdays. Anyone who doesn't know the details will think that he is a great man with a bright future. wit.

Hearing that his ex-wife passed away due to illness and he is currently single, someone took his idea and wanted to take this promising talent into his pocket.

Chu Dalang's marriage was forced by the old Chen family back then. Although he and the young Chen family lived well after marriage, he still longed for the day when he would be named on the gold list, a high school scholar, and then marry a noble woman as his wife, with the strong support of the Yue family. Down, all the way straight up in the officialdom, he was named and worshiped as a prime minister, and his position was as high as that of a minister.

As for Mrs. Chen, after all, he gave birth to the eldest son, and they are also young couples. He has made a fortune, so naturally he can't forget her. Well, the position of first wife is impossible, and the concubine position can be given to her. The concubine's room is short.

To say that Chu Dalang's ambition is really not ordinary. When he was just a child, he wanted to marry a high-ranking girl. Now that he has successfully entered the ranks of scholar-bureaucrats, how can he look down on girls from a small place like Linyong? .

Besides, Xiao Chen and his children are gone. He doesn't have any worries now. He can marry anyone he wants. Why did he settle it early? After waiting for the high school Jinshi, it would be better to choose the most powerful Yue family. .

Chu Dalang, who wanted to marry a high-ranking girl, claimed that he would start a career before starting a family, and refused all the people who came to propose marriage.

I thought that his attitude was so firm that no one would attack him, but unexpectedly, some people still refused to give up.

Then he caught on.

When he was a guest at the house of his classmate Ji Changqing, he got very drunk. When he woke up the next day, he found that he was sleeping with Ji Changqing's younger sister on the same bed.

The matter has come to this point, he knows he has been tricked, and he has no choice but to pinch his nose and admit it.

Besides, he won't suffer from marrying the Ji family.

Because the Ji family is rich.

Although it is not as good as Fang's family, Zeng's family, Zhao's family, and Li's family, the bigwigs of the Yuyuan Chamber of Commerce, but compared to the old Chu's family, Ji's family is much better.

But it’s not on one level at all.

Chu Dalang was short of money in the first place, and now someone offered to provide him with the imperial examination, and gave him a beauty as beautiful as a flower, of course he was willing to accept it.

Anyway, they delivered it to the door by themselves, so don't reject it for nothing.

As for the status of the first wife, for the sake of money, let the Ji family occupy it temporarily, and when the time comes in the future, it will be reduced to a concubine. Forgive them for not daring to say more.

The Ji family didn't know Chu Dalang's calculations, and felt that he was so powerful that he easily got this young and promising talent into his pocket.

It is said that Chu Dalang overheard the conversation between Fang Shengyu and Chu Ning, and guessed that Sweetheart Time, a dessert shop popular in the entire county, was a partnership between the two, and he almost gritted his teeth with hatred.

He has always known that the reason why the old scholar Fang would sponsor him to study is not to cherish and love talents at all, but for the Fang family, in order to make him prosperous and support them!

Support the entire Fang family.

The title of master and apprentice is just a cover to cover people's eyes. From the beginning, it was just an exchange of interests between them.

Chu Dalang believed that the Fang family should provide him with the best resources and connections since they had plans for him, such as asking famous teachers and scholars for guidance, or using some means to directly help him get on the list, and then use money to clear the way to help him in the officialdom. Prosperous all the way, directly to the top of the people and ministers.

Anyway, as an official, he will protect them, right? Why not do things that benefit both.

But they are so rich, especially Fang Qijiang, who is rich and powerful, but they don't provide him with any support. I can't cope with the communication between them, and I am embarrassed by Yin Zi all day long, so I don't have the energy to study hard.

Otherwise, he would not fail the autumn test.

Before he gained fame, although Chu Dalang was a little cautious, he still respected the old scholar Fang, but since he was selected as a scholar and went to the county school to study, his mentality changed.

Especially after learning how much property Fang Qijiang's family has in the county and his influence in the county, he directly distorted it, thinking that his previous thoughts of gratitude were a joke, and he was not taken seriously at all, just thrown away It's just a bet of a few silver coins.

When he succeeds and becomes an official, they will come to collect interest.

If he didn't succeed, that bit of money would just be thrown into the water for fun.

Realizing this, Chu Dalang was very angry.

Special anger.

Feeling underestimated.

He also felt that the world was unfair, so how could those bastards of the Fang family be able to hire famous teachers, enter famous schools, and live a life of luxury.

But he is obviously talented and has a beautiful heart, but he has to endure poverty and those useless idiots showing off in front of him!

God is not fair!

The Fang family is also unfair!
Knowing that his aptitude is a hundred times and a thousand times better than those elm bumps, but he refuses to use all resources to help him succeed. Instead, he is so generous to a stinky girl that he even gives her half of the shop!
snort!
Treat them differently like this, okay, very good, let's wait and see, and see who regrets it then.

Chu Dalang's eyes were heavy, "Now that the gate of the city has been opened, everything in the city is as usual, so it should be fine. I'll go back tomorrow and report to the elders at home that I'm safe.

The lady doesn't have to go with her. I don't know if it's peaceful outside. To be on the safe side, the lady should stay in the city and wait for me to come back. "

Hearing that he was going back to the village, Ji frowned subconsciously, "My husband also said that I don't know if it's peaceful outside..."

Chu Dalang had something in his heart, and he didn't have much patience at first, seeing her trying to stop him, he was even more displeased, "Because of this, I want to go back, otherwise my heart is really uneasy, so my lady should stop persuading her."

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Ji Shi was not happy and couldn't say anything more, "Then I'll tell Dad to send a few more people to follow."

Seeing that she was quite sensible, Chu Dalang's expression softened, and his tone eased, "Thank you, lady."

After talking about this matter, Ji thought of the question just now, "Isn't Mr. Fang a guest of Fang's family? Why didn't you greet Mr. Fang?"

Hearing this, Chu Dalang's face suddenly darkened, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, what kind of doorman? I am an upright scholar, how can I worship a merchant as my master?"

After yelling, he flicked his sleeves and left, ignoring Ji Shi.

Ji Shi's embarrassing eye circles were red, if not for the fear of embarrassment, she would have been crying at this time.

Facing the surprised gazes of passers-by, she trotted back all the way back with her face red and her head down, and she couldn't help crying anymore when she entered the door. Go back to Ji's mansion to find Mrs. Ji, but Ji's family doesn't allow it, and the two of them can only be anxious.

In the midst of chaos, Ji Changqing came.

He came to find Chu Dalang.

Seeing his sister crying sadly, he was naturally unhappy. After hearing the reason, he frowned and pondered, "Although my sister said something wrong, Zhengyan's reaction was too much. Could it be that his relationship with the Fang family is Isn't it what we thought?"
