Chapter 437 Chen Mo: Xu Xian, you should quickly find a good family to marry into!
The Qiantang area of Hangzhou, in addition to the breathtaking Qiantang Tide, also has the beautiful West Lake scenery that has been talked about by countless literati and poets.
Qing Yu Tang is a pharmacy in Qiantang. In addition to prescribing medicine for people, it also has doctors to see patients. Because it is a time-honored brand, it is also well-known in the local area.
Today, Qing Yu Tang welcomed a remarkable guest.
The reason why he is so eye-catching is that he is not only extremely handsome and the dream lover of countless Qiantang girls, but he is also a talented man who is famous in Qiantang and even in the whole Jiangnan region. It is said that even the current emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty has heard of this man’s name and intends to recruit him into the court as an official.
That’s right, this person is Chen Mo who traveled through time and space to come to this world.
And this world…
“Xu Xian, come, come, Master Chen Mo is looking for you, why don’t you come out and entertain him!” The owner of Qing Yu Tang Pharmacy, who was also Xu Xian’s master, saw Chen Mo coming and immediately greeted the busy apprentice Xu Xian inside.
Looking at his skillful movements, it is obvious that this is not the first time he has done this, and the fact is indeed so. Chen Mo has come to Qing Yu Tang more than once. Except for the first time when he came to buy medicine, he basically came to find Xu Xian afterwards.
Like male homosexuality? Have a crush on Xu Xian? Of course that’s impossible. Chen Mo is looking for Xu Xian just because he is Xu Xian!
After hearing the drugstore owner’s call, a young man with a pretty face walked out of the inner hall in a short while. If he didn’t have a Adam’s apple, someone might have mistaken him for a woman.
That’s right, this handsome young man is Xu Xian. He has been an apprentice in the Qing Yu Tang medicine shop for several years and is almost ready to become a master.
“Brother Chen, you’re here!” Xu Xian took the initiative to greet him.
“Brother Xu, long time no see, how are you these days?”
Without waiting for Xu Xian to answer, Chen Mo said to the boss of Qing Yu Tang beside him: “Boss, Brother Xu and I haven’t seen each other for many days. It should be okay for us to go out and catch up, right?”
How could the boss of Qing Yu Tang dare to offend such a famous talent? Besides, the store was not busy and had enough staff, so he readily agreed and said to Xu Xian: “Xu Xian, Master Chen has finally come here, and there is nothing to do in the store, so I’ll give you a day off. You can talk to Master Chen and reminisce about the past!”
Hearing this, Xu Xian’s face showed joy. To be honest, he had encountered some troubles recently and wanted to go out and relax. He was worried that he would not have the opportunity, but then this opportunity came.
So Chen Mo and Xu Xian left Qing Yu Tang and came to Ting Chao Restaurant, the most famous restaurant in Qiantang.
If it was when he first met Chen Mo, given Xu Xian’s honesty and cautiousness, he would definitely not have accepted Chen Mo’s invitation to dinner in such a luxurious place. But after getting to know each other for a long time and becoming familiar with each other, Xu Xian knew that Chen Mo was not short of money, so he let go of his reserve, or rather, he got used to it.
“You look so worried. Have you encountered any troubles recently?” Chen Mo saw the worry between Xu Xian’s brows and guessed that he must have encountered some troubles. He asked curiously.
“Brother Chen is indeed very discerning. To be honest with you, I have indeed encountered some troubles recently!
To be honest, I’m not afraid of being laughed at by Brother Chen.
I have an older sister named Xu Jiaorong, the one Brother Chen met before. Isn’t she married to my brother-in-law Li Gongfu?
Her marriage was settled, so she started to arrange marriage for me, but I felt that I was not successful enough and didn’t want to get married so soon, alas! ”
As he spoke, Xu Xian sighed. It was obvious that he really didn’t want to get married so soon. Of course, that might also be because he hadn’t found a suitable partner.
After hearing what he said, Chen Mo smiled and said: You don’t want to get married now, that’s because you haven’t seen the White Snake who made your heart beat fast and fall in love at first sight. If you had seen her, you would probably be more eager to get married than anyone else, right?
Speaking of which, Xu Xian’s sister Xu Jiaorong took so many years to get married because she was held back by Xu Xian, the burden. Otherwise, with Xu Jiaorong’s looks, she would have been married long ago. However, because she demanded that her husband’s family must support Xu Xian, she blocked most of her suitors and finally met Li Gongfu, a good match for her.
The reason why Xu Jiaorong was so anxious to help Xu Xian get married was, firstly, that Xu Xian was actually not young anymore and people of his age already had grown-up children; secondly, she was worried that over time, Li Gongfu’s enthusiasm for her would gradually wane, leading to less support for Xu Xian, and it would then be difficult for Xu Xian to get married.
Xu Xian might also know Xu Jiaorong’s good intentions, so even though he was unwilling to get married at this time, he could not refute it, and the end result was that he became more and more depressed.
After sorting out his thoughts, Chen Mo smiled slightly: “It seems that Brother Xu is being urged to get married by his family!
However, at Brother Xu’s age, it is indeed time for him to get married. I might even go to your wedding!”
I added in my heart: Only if you get married can you break your relationship with White Snake, so you should quickly find a good family to marry into!
Xu Xian rolled his eyes and said depressedly: “I didn’t expect that even you would say that. Oh, it seems that I have to get married!”
After he finished speaking, he sighed again: “Brother Chen is really free and easy. Not only is there no one in his family urging him to get married, but he can also go in and out of the homes of various dignitaries and become their guest of honor!
If I had known this, I should have studied hard and become known as a talented scholar. Maybe I would have had a different life experience!”
Xu Xian was actually quite talented, but at that time he had already seen through the darkness and corruption of the officialdom. In his words, “corrupt officials are scolded by the people, and good officials are scolded by bad people.” In this case, why bother taking the imperial examination? So he did not study further!
Regret now? Oh, it’s too late!
Moreover, Xu Xian has talent, but he can only pass the examination for a scholar at best. It is difficult for him to pass the examination for a juren. How can he become a great talent like Chen Mo? Does he have the ability to do so?
Although he was complaining in his heart, Chen Mo did not say it out loud. Instead, he comforted Xu Xian, saying that he would definitely send him a big gift to congratulate him when Xu Xian got married, and expressed that he would fund Xu Xian to open his own pharmacy in the future, which made Xu Xian feel much better.
After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes, Chen Mo was still not drunk even after drinking a thousand cups, but Xu Xian was completely drunk.
dong dong dong~
Hearing the knock on the door, Xu Jiaorong opened the door and saw Chen Mo and the drunk Xu Xian. Her face changed: “Ah, Hanwen (Xu Xian’s name), what happened to Hanwen?”
Chen Mo explained: “I’m sorry, I was chatting with Han Wen and accidentally drank a little too much, and then this happened!”
Hearing this, Xu Jiaorong understood and complained to Xu Xian in a low voice: “You know you can’t handle the alcohol, but you still try to be strong. When you wake up, I’ll show you how I’ll deal with you!”
Even so, Xu Jiaorong still carefully helped Xu Xian in. Chen Mo was afraid that she couldn’t handle it alone, so he followed to help. After Xu Xian was settled, Chen Mo asked in confusion: “Sister Jiaorong, why did you open the door? Where is Captain Li?”
Generally speaking, in order to prevent accidents, when someone knocks on the door, it is the man in the family who opens the door to check. But now it was Xu Jiaorong who opened the door. This cannot be explained by being virtuous.
Xu Jiaorong had met Chen Mo many times and knew that he was a good friend of Xu Xian, so she did not suspect anything and explained: “It is like this. It is said that the warehouse of Qiantang government office has been frequently robbed recently. In order to prevent such incidents from happening again, Gongfu and his family have been living in the government office for some time. I am the only one at home, so I have to open the door!”
Oh? The government storehouse was robbed? Could it be Xiaoqing who did it? Chen Mo had seen “The Legend of the New White Snake”, and the culprit of the theft in the government storehouse was Xiaoqing.
Now that the warehouse has been robbed, it means that it won’t be long before Bai Suzhen comes to Qiantang to repay her gratitude. I have to quickly find a good family for Brother Xu Xian to marry into. Alas, I’ve been worried sick about you, my little brother, Chen Mo thought to himself.
That night, on the way back, Chen Mo suddenly felt the air around him suddenly become cold. Looking up, he saw a flash of green light and five black lights. If Chen Mo did not have extraordinary eyesight, he would probably have thought he was seeing things.
“Xiaoqing and the Five Ghosts? Judging from the direction they left, it seems to be the county government office. Are they going to take action again?” Chen Mo murmured in his heart.
“If they don’t offend me, I won’t offend them. Since they didn’t provoke me, there’s no need for me to go against them!
However, having them interfere with my vision makes it easier for me to move!”
As he spoke, Chen Mo quickened his pace and disappeared from the spot in a few jumps. The direction he was heading was also the county government office.
After a while, Chen Mo came to the outside of the county government office. Looking at the door god portrait on the gate of the county government office, Chen Mo shook his head: “The door god can stop ghosts and evil spirits, but it can’t stop me!”
Sure enough, Chen Mo jumped into the county government office. During the whole process, the door gods on the gate of the county government office did not move at all.
Although he had never been to the county government office, Chen Mo felt as if he had been here countless times. Walking in it was no longer something he could describe as familiarity. The reason for this was that Chen Mo had the [Reincarnation Eye] which allowed him to see through things. The sentries and secret guards in the county government office were just like decorations in front of him.
“Hmm? Xiaoqing and Wugui are over there? I guess that’s the warehouse, right?
Li Gongfu and others are also patrolling there, so it is probably the case!
However, my target is not the warehouse!”
After saying this, Chen Mo went in the opposite direction of them, and soon arrived at a courtyard, which was the residence of the Qiantang County Magistrate.
He entered silently and came to the bed. Looking at the man and woman hugging each other and talking in their sleep, Chen Mo curled his lips: How dare this thing, which is not even as good as a toothpick, marry so many concubines? Isn’t this just making people widowed?
And this woman, who is not even as good as Xu Jiaorong, how did the county magistrate like her? Is it because she is good at living?
Enduring the eye-scorching scene, Chen Mo turned his gaze elsewhere and began searching. With the [Reincarnation Eye], no secret room or hidden compartment could escape his control. It didn’t take long for him to find his target. After taking all the gold, silver and money inside, he immediately slipped away. During the whole process, he did not disturb the man and woman on the bed at all.
That’s right, Chen Mo has been in this world of “The Legend of the New White Snake” for so long, and the reason why he has no shortage of money is because he relies on this skill of robbing the rich to help the poor. Well, robbing the rich’s wealth to help his own poverty!
What? Gold and silver objects are marked?
Chen Mo is not a fool like Xiao Qing who doesn’t even know how to remove the brand on the silver in the treasury!
Inside the county government office, Li Gongfu discovered something was wrong and shouted “Catch the thief” while blocking off the surrounding areas.
Outside the county government office, the two groups stared at each other.
“Hmph, you are so bold that you actually break into the county government office?” Xiaoqing, who was disguised as a man, was the first to come to her senses and shouted at Chen Mo.
Chen Mo rolled his eyes: Come on, you are a thief too, okay? Why are you acting like a county constable? What’s going on? Are you trying to play the thief crying “stop thief”?
“I don’t know if I’m brave enough, but I know that if we keep staying here, the detectives inside will definitely find us!” Chen Mo reminded.
Hearing this, Xiaoqing’s face changed involuntarily, and the five ghosts beside him also advised: “Boss, let’s run quickly!”
Xiao Qing glared at Chen Mo, but still ordered the Five Ghosts: “Let’s retreat!”
Seeing them leave, Chen Mo did not delay and disappeared on the spot in a flash.
Xiao Qing, who was running away, happened to look back and saw this scene. Her pupils couldn’t help but shrink: “Is this… a space spell? Could this person also be a sorcerer?”
Even though Xiaoqing has practiced for hundreds of years and can cast some spells, and even influence celestial phenomena, her spells can only be regarded as minor ones at best, while space spells are definitely major ones. To learn this kind of space spell, one must not only have inheritance but also have a talent for space. Most people can only exert some space power with the help of powerful magic tools. For example, Fahai’s golden bowl can hold those huge creatures in the golden bowl because it is a space magic tool.
Chen Mo’s use of [Flying Thunder God] just now was enough to intimidate Xiao Qing.
–
“Worship heaven and earth!”
“Two thanks to the high hall!”
“Husband and wife pay homage…”
Li Gongfu’s house was filled with guests and friends. Xu Jiaorong sat at the head of the table, looking at the newlyweds bowing to each other in front of her, her eyes full of satisfaction.
After the ceremony, Xu Jiaorong grabbed the groom’s hand and said with a choked voice: “Hanwen, I didn’t expect that in the blink of an eye, you have also started a family. That’s great. I… I can be considered worthy of my parents and my ancestors!”
The groom Xu Xian hurriedly helped Xu Jiaorong wipe away her tears and said gratefully: “Sister, I will remember your kindness to me all my life. Without you, there would be no Xu Hanwen today.
Sister, don’t worry, I’m grown up now, I won’t make you worry anymore!”
Xu Jiaorong nodded, feeling both sad and relieved.
Li Gongfu, who was standing by, suddenly said, “Han Wen, you are able to start a family. As your brother-in-law, I am happy for you!
But don’t forget your true benefactor!”
Hearing this, Xu Xian looked in one direction, where an extremely handsome man was sitting, and next to the man were a group of ladies from Qiantang.
That’s right, this extremely handsome man is Chen Mo, and the ladies around him are admirers of Chen Mo. Who says that ladies never leave the house? Girls chasing boys can be crazy sometimes. They only come to attend the wedding banquet of Xu Xian when they have nothing to do? Isn’t it because they heard that Chen Mo will come?
The reason why Xu Xian was able to get married so quickly and marry a virtuous woman from a good family was because Chen Mo helped to make the connection. Otherwise, with Xu Xian’s dullness, it is hard to say how long it would take him to find a good match. No wonder Li Gongfu called Chen Mo Xu Xian’s benefactor.
