"Why are you so annoying? I thought Zhu Niang didn't treat the guests well. Why did she leave the guests and go back home?"

"My dear nephew, since you are the distinguished guests brought back by Mother Pearl, you are naturally also my distinguished guests. Isn't this lawsuit not over yet?"

Shen Wancai patted Chen Chang'an on the shoulder twice, took him into his arms, and said affectionately: "You will be living here before the fight is over. The Wang family is also a scholar, so it's hard to guarantee that they don't have connections or anything like that. Your family will look at you." You're an elder, aren't you afraid of others doing evil things?"

Chen Changan:......

Meng Tan: ...These words seem a bit familiar.

It has to be said that father and daughter are very similar, and these words hit home. Chen Changan was pushed into the other courtyard by Shen Wancai and pulled to the study.

The euphemistic name is: Comparing chess skills.

Meng Tan was very doubtful. With the temperament of a nouveau riche, Shen Wancai didn't know whether he could play chess.

This game of chess was played until night. Meng Tan and the others had finished their meal before Chen Changan came back.

Meng Tan looked at Chen Changan teasingly.

[How is Mr. Shen playing chess? ]

Chen Changan nodded sadly, "Not bad."

Meng Tan was surprised and couldn't tell.

But think about it, if you were a nouveau riche, your business wouldn't be as big as this.

Chen Changan pressed his eyebrows and added: "Mr. Shen may seem rough in temperament, but he is actually quite tactful. He also studies a lot on weekdays and is especially good at chess..."

Seeing Chen Changan's hesitant expression, Meng Tan couldn't help but ask one more question.

[Dalang, you didn’t get plotted by him, did you? ]

Chen Chang'an let out a long sigh, "Mr. Shen said that he admires me very much and wants to learn from the saints and sages, but most people in the world look down on him. He wants to invite me to give a lecture with him tomorrow. I'm afraid I won't be able to live comfortably these days."

Meng Tan smiled impudently. She didn't believe that Chen Changan couldn't handle such a simple matter. There must be something else involved.

Chen Changan asked Master Shen to go around.

Three days after the meeting started, Chen Changan was also pestered by Shen Wancai for three days. It was really a master of all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

If it weren't for Chen Changan's lawsuit on the fourth day, Meng Tan had no doubt that Chen Changan would still be entangled until night on the third day.

Look, the lawsuit is about to go to court. Chen Changan breathed a sigh of relief visibly and felt a lot more energetic.

Meng Tan looked back and saw Shen Wancai taking Shen Jinzhu to the best viewing position. She looked over and said hello with a smile.

At this time, Shen Wancai was also speaking quietly to Shen Jinzhu.

"Daughter, don't worry, dad has tried it. This Chen Changan is a talent. Dad has been pestering him from morning to night for the past few days, and he didn't show a trace of impatience. This shows that he can bear it."

"He plays chess well, which shows that he is a smart man. When I asked him to give me a lecture, he also taught it seriously and not perfunctorily, which shows that he is generous. At least on the surface, he is extremely polite in dealing with others. His piano and painting are bad, but his family is a farmer and a scholar. It’s normal to go to school relying on financial support from the clan, but our family is not a scholarly one, so we can be considered well-matched.”

"In the past few days, my father has been asking people to inquire about his daily life. Guess what? Chen Chang'an is obviously among the best in Jixian Academy, but he is not as famous as the other top scholars. Guess why? "

Shen Wancai gave up and glanced at Shen Jinzhu.

"Why?" Shen Jinzhu frowned and stared at her father, "Dad, you are not kind either. He is going to have a lawsuit today. If you pester him like this, he will be very tired."

Shen Wancai was so sad that the elbows of the baby girl he had raised in his hands turned outwards.

"Dad, tell me quickly." Although she could find out many things here, she didn't have as many manpower as Shen Wancai. “He often goes to the academy’s kitchen to cook and eat, and is often criticized by the students in the academy.”

"Chen Changan is pretty good at hiding his edge."

Shen Wanchai said sourly that he had to admit that his daughter was quite good at choosing people, and this Chen Xiucai was really outstanding.

"It turns out he is delicious..." Shen Jinzhu thought thoughtfully.

While the father and daughter were talking, the alarm bell in the hall was shot and the hall rose.

The Tian and Wang families were each other's mistresses and criminals, that is, they were each other's accusers and defendants in modern times.

But since the Tian family submitted the complaint first, today's trial is about the Tian family suing the Wang family for illegal forced marriage.

Wang Xiucai obviously understood the laws of Dachu. He repented when he came up and had a good attitude. He might be able to reduce the sentence and marry a daughter of the Tian family.

He is still a scholar, and the county government will also have many considerations.

"Sir, the student thinks that he did something inappropriate in this matter, but it was all because I was too anxious to see Tao'er. Tao'er and I were in love. I fell in love with her at first sight and I don't dislike her. My second marriage, I was too impatient, but I never thought that it would hurt the Tian family or Tao'er. Sir, as the saying goes, I would rather demolish a temple than ruin a marriage. Please give me some more help. If students are given a chance, they will definitely follow the Tian family’s rules.”

Such sincere words, if you don't sing, you will be burying your talent.

Tian Meng's fists clenched loudly, and he really wanted to go up and tear this man's hypocrisy apart.

This case was a public trial. When the people who were stopped behind the killing stick took a look, they all wondered if the Tian family had gone too far.

Some people even whispered in a low voice, "Let me tell you, is it because the Tian family saw that the Wang family has good conditions, and bullied their daughter to ask for favors from the Wang family, and the two families fell out?"

"That's probably it. This scholar is really affectionate. If my daughter meets such a family, I will marry my daughter off even if I don't want a bride price."

There are quite a few such things in Changhe Town, but few of them go to court, and most of them end their engagements.

Hearing the discussion not far behind him, Wang Xiucai raised his lips proudly and glanced disdainfully at the Tian family. Although there was a scholar present from the Tian family, they did not invite a debater.

It can be seen that the family is poor. How can such a family fight with him?

Thinking of what the defender he invited said, Wang Xiucai turned around and knelt down towards Liu Cuihua and his wife, his face full of sincerity.

"Uncle and aunt, I really love Tao'er. I even want to die without her. Even taking the exam is boring. As long as your family can marry Tao'er to me, I will do anything, even if it's money. , I am also willing to pay.”

At this moment, the people's discussion became louder.

"Oh, why are the Tian family so shameless? They are just a bunch of idiots. How dare they ask a scholar to kneel down to them?"

"Look, let me tell you, the Tian family needs a lot of money to manage the Wang family. If the parents are like this, their daughter will not be much better!"

"This Wang Xiucai is like this, maybe he and Tian's daughter..."

He didn't finish what he said, but a few second-rate guys started laughing obscenely.

These words, neither big nor small, flowed into Liu Cuihua's ears, and she understood what Wang Xiucai meant by kneeling down.

This is to ruin her daughter's reputation and force her daughter to die!

"You dog-"

"Sir, the criminal is using his power to force others. The students have requested that the statement just made by the criminal is invalid."

Chen Changan stepped forward in time to stop Liu Cuihua from cursing, with a stern look in his eyes, "Furthermore, Wang Xiucai has insulted his clothes and even the saints. The students demand that Wang Xiucai be punished."
