After developing a villain heroine, they came after her

Chapter 48 Youthful Spirit

City Lord Ma is much older than Chen An, but he addresses you as you, not you.

Because he knew that Mr. Chen in front of him was a truly righteous man. Even though he was dismissed from office and exiled to Guanping, many of his deeds were still sung in the capital.

In the first year after the new emperor took office, Chen An was eighteen years old, a scholarly scholar, and scolded Fang Qiu.

When the rivers in the south flooded and destroyed countless fields and houses, he volunteered to provide disaster relief and gave an answer that no one could fault.

Then the epidemic hit again the next year, so he took the risk himself and formulated a prevention manual overnight, successfully controlling the spread of the epidemic.

There are also a series of feats such as daring to show his sword at the aristocratic family class in the court and vigorously promoting tax reform.

It was precisely this matter of tax reform that caused Chen An to live in poverty for ten years, and was demoted to a white body and sent to Guanping.

But he never complained. He only left four short poems to warn the court officials.

Set up the heart for the heaven and the earth, set the destiny for the livelihood and the people, for the sacred and inherited knowledge, and for the peace of the world.

The meaning is concise and concise, every word is precious.

Everyone who heard it was shaken and tears filled their eyes.

That day, the queue to see him off at the Jingshi Pier was very long.

Although Chen An bluntly stated several times that it was taught by the immortal in his dream and not created by him, to others, it was just a trivial excuse.

"Mr. Chen, come on, come on, please sit down quickly."

City Lord Ma narrowed his eyes, smiled, and stood up to greet him.

Chen An first greeted him and then greeted Li Ye.

Li Ye looked at the chess pieces scattered all over the place by City Master Ma, feeling a little helpless. Then he raised his head, smiled at his friend and said, "Brother Chen, you are fine."

He then raised his eyebrows and continued: "Are you really going to stop thinking about what you told Brother Chen last time?"

"My sister is also a well-known lady in the capital. I don't know how many young men have come to propose marriage in the past few years. The threshold has been repaired again and again. Are you sure you don't cherish her?"

Hearing this, Chen An gave a bitter smile and shook his sleeves, but they were empty.

"My sister is partial to you, and Chen is really scared."

"But now I'm just a white body with cool sleeves. How dare I delay the beauty?"

Of course, Chen An didn't say the most important reason.

Because he does not belong to this world, and there will be a day when he leaves.

Li Ye snorted, a little unhappy, "You always use this as an excuse. Everyone in the Li family, including everyone in the capital, ever treated you badly for this reason?"

"If my sister-in-law hadn't failed to live up to my expectations, and if I had not said anything about Chen An, she would have ruined her life, been depressed all day long, and shed tears, how could I have pulled this face off and asked you so many times!"

The more he talked, the angrier he became, but he was not angry at Chen An, but at his sister who failed to live up to her expectations.

Three-legged toads are hard to find in the world, but aren’t four-legged men everywhere?

Why do you have to hang yourself from this crooked tree?

In response to this, Chen An could only laugh twice and laugh.

Fortunately, Li Ye is not the kind of person who is unforgiving when he is in power. It's just that this matter has been suppressing in his heart for too long recently and he can't help but vent.

He sighed and apologized: "Brother Chen, I just got emotional, please don't blame me."

At this time, City Lord Ma, who was pretending to be transparent, also ran out to smooth things over. He smiled and said: "Okay, okay, Mr. Chen is a rare visitor to my City Lord's Mansion. I must have something to do when you come here this time, and I need to wait." Are you helping?"

He took the initiative to speak and brought up the conversation. For a valuable person like Chen An, City Lord Ma was very willing to help.

The rivers and lakes are not about fighting and killing, but about the ways of the world.

You help me and I help you, this is the norm.

When Chen An saw this, he didn't delay anymore and directly stated his intention.

He pondered: "Master Ma, it's like this. I want to arrange for one of my adopted children to go to a private school. What do you think?"

City Master Ma was stunned when he heard this. He patted the fat on his waist, laughed, and said cheerfully: "Mr. Chen can make the decision on this small matter."

He immediately added: "If there are disobedient students in the private school, Mr. Chen can punish them at will without asking for my opinion."

<divclass="contentadv">Chen An handed over his hand, "Then I'll thank Lord Ma first."

City Lord Ma waved his hands cheerfully, "It's all small things. Come on, come on. Mr. Chen is finally willing to come to my City Lord's Mansion today. I must give you a good greeting."

He said, pulling Chen An and going to the hall.

Chen An wanted to refuse, but the other party was too enthusiastic, and Li Ye was also there to persuade him, so he just let it go.

At the wine table, three people drank together.

Chen An just had a few drinks, and City Lord Ma and Li Ye were drinking most of the time.

Especially Li Ye, the maid beside him never stopped pouring wine.

In his drunken state, Li Ye suddenly talked about his future plans.

He looked at Chen An and his voice was a little low.

"In two days, I will return to the capital."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere seemed to freeze visibly.

Chen An smiled and said: "Congratulations, is this the official reinstatement?"

Li Ye and Chen An were demoted to Guanping together. They were both the main promoters of the vigorous reforms that year.

Many complicated emotions flashed through Li Ye's eyes, and he sighed.

"My father still has some connections in the court, and after working through them, he was not only reinstated this time, but also promoted."

Getting promoted and making a fortune should be a great joy in life.

But Li Ye didn't look happy at all.

He lay on the table without any concern for dignity and murmured in his mouth.

"Why, obviously Brother Chen is the one who should return to the capital...Brother Chen is a talented person and should not be buried in this small Guanping..."

"I, Li Ye, am so virtuous and capable...hehe."

The man laughed self-deprecatingly.

Chen An looked at him with a calm expression and said softly: "Brother Li, you are drunk."

……

……

The next day was a warm morning.

Chen An combed Luo Cong'an's hair as usual, picked up the lesson plan put aside, and led the girl out of the courtyard.

In the past three years, Luo Congan has only gone out a handful of times.

If Chen An hadn't taken her out with her, she wouldn't have been willing to go out alone.

She would rather stay at home and take a nap, or do as her husband did, lying on a bamboo chair and taking a nap leisurely.

So much so that Chen An always felt that he had led Luo Cong'an bad.

He retired in his twenties, while Luo Congan fast forwarded to retire in his teens...

It was midsummer, and the streets were crowded with people. From time to time, someone would turn to look at the two of them.

To be more precise, he was looking at Luo Cong'an's long, dazzling snow-white hair.

Occasionally, there would be whispers in their ears, but neither Chen An nor Luo Cong'an took it seriously.

If you like to gossip, let others talk about it. Living your life well is enough.
