Chapter 23(1/2)
Wen Tian thought he was joking, but after confirming it, he believed that he really only had one room. He lowered his eyelashes with embarrassment, "I asked Dai Fu to clean the room, but this is not a reward. There is a village near Xishantou in my name, so I will give you a gift."
He paused for a moment, and saw that Chu Xiangtian was still smiling and was easy to talk to, so he tried to persuade him: "Being a bandit is not a long-term solution. I think the people in the village are not vicious people. You might as well take them to the village to live."
The more he said it, the more he felt it made sense. When he saw that Chu Xiangtian didn't say anything, he mustered up the courage to continue to persuade a bandit leader with a complicated expression to be a good person.
"There are more than 100 acres of land next to the village. I heard that the harvest is good every year, and it is enough for the people in the village to live."
After he finished speaking, he concluded with a very sincere heart: "It is not easy to be a bandit now. Didn't you say that the imperial envoy came to the town? It would be very dangerous to suppress the bandits at that time."
He was like a small animal hiding at the entrance of the cave to test. He first stretched out a small claw, and after confirming that there was no danger, he poked out half of his head. Chu Xiangtian secretly observed his expression, watched the little rabbit completely relax his guard, and jumped in front of him.
The dark and moist pupils were shining, and he looked at him expectantly, making Chu Xiangtian reluctant to refuse.
He reached out and rubbed Wen Tian's head. This time, Wen Tian did not avoid it, so he was obedient and still kept looking at him softly, making people feel no idea of rejection.
Why are you so well-behaved?
"Okay." Withdrawing his hand, the palm of his hand still had a furry touch. Chu Xiangtian sighed regretfully and agreed readily.
He was so happy that Wen Tian hadn't reacted yet, and he stared at him in surprise.
"But..." Chu Xiangtian curled his lips and leaned back lazily, with some unidentified meaning in his eyes. "I have no place to live after moving down, and I have to stay with you for a while."
Wen Tian naturally would not refuse. Chu Xiangtian sent him hope when he was most desperate and anxious. The grudges he had recorded in the small account book were eliminated, and even increased his favorability.
The bandit leader Chu Xiangtian is now a good person in Wen Tian’s heart, and he is the benefactor who has helped him.
Wen Tian had a circle in his heart. He had his close friends in the circle, while the rest were outside the circle. In the past, Chu Xiangtian was probably far away from the circle, but after this time, Wen Tian moved Chu Xiangtian into his small circle.
From now on, I will be my own people, and it will be fine for my own people to live in his yard for as long as I want to live in his yard.
Seeing him being soft and easy to talk, Chu Xiangtian couldn't help but get more aggressive and test on the verge of being beaten, "How long can you live?"
Wen Tian nodded, his expression was soft and well-behaved, and he looked completely different from the way he glared at him when he had been teasing.
Chu Xiangtian was happy in his heart, but he leaned over without hesitation, closer to him, "Then it's better to obey your orders than respect."
He was very close to him, and Wen Tian could even feel his warm breath. He blinked his eyes and moved a little later.
Chu Xiangtian raised his eyebrows slightly, changed his sitting position, and kept a comfortable and safe distance from Wen Tian.
After leaving with a slightly oppressive aura, Wen Tian really relaxed. He poured Chu Xiangtian a cup of tea, and then he held a book and read it slowly.
Chu Xiangtian observed him calmly. The more he looked, the more he felt that the young master in front of him was so cute. He looked like a big baby, and people wanted to hold it in his arms and rub it well, and then hide it and keep it well.
Unfortunately, this big baby is a move and running. He taps his fingers gently on his thighs. Chu Xiangtian licks his lips inadvertently, and his wolf-like eyes fall on Wen Tian, who is ignorant of nothing.

Wen Boli got his wish and met the county magistrate. Zhao Renhua, the county magistrate of Nanming County, was a middle-aged man close to fifty years old. Wen Boli had a very happy chat with him. Zhao Renhua always claimed to have a pair of wise eyes to know good horses from thousands of miles away and liked to recommend talents. Wen Boli just missed a "Bo Le".
The two fell in love with each other at first sight, and Zhao Renhua appreciated his talent very much. After the conversation, he kept him for dinner.
Bai Ruihe had a good relationship with the county magistrate's wife, and Wen Boli specially brought her with her, and the few of them had a happy chat during the meal.
After eating, the four of them sat together to drink tea. The county magistrate's wife seemed to be inadvertently praising: "Mr. Wen can marry a virtuous wife like Ruihe, which is a blessing in his previous life."
Bai Ruihe lowered her head shyly, and her eyes fell shyly on Wen Boli.
Wen Boli smiled and said, "Ruihe really helped me a lot, but it's a pity that I can't give her a dignified title."
Zhao Renhua said in surprise: "Is this not Mrs. Zun?"
Wen Boli looked bitter, "Ruihe, I always think she is my wife, but there is a bad wife in the family, and I am also incompetent. My wife's family is powerful, so I can't even do anything to divorce my wife."
"It's outrageous!" Zhao Renhua said angrily: "I didn't expect that there would be such evil things under my rule."
"The county magistrate is busy with all kinds of things, how can he take care of the small town?" Wen Boli flattered at the right time, and then said with a chance: "I have been tolerant of it all these years. I have already written a divorce letter two days ago, but the evil wife in the family is greedy for the family business I have worked hard on, and he has been persuaded and refused to leave."
Zhao Renhua looked dissatisfied, "If you have such a chaplain, you should be kicked out."
Wen Boli looked embarrassed, "I am just an ordinary businessman, if so..."
"What are you afraid of!" Zhao Renhua patted his shoulder and said proudly: "I agree to this matter. Just ask someone to drive the wife away. I see that you are very good at Lady Bai. If you drive him away, you can marry a good wife soon."
Bai Ruihe showed joy on her face. She looked at Wen Boli affectionately, then lowered her head timidly, revealing only a piece of white and slender neck.
The guests and guests had fun with each other. Wen Boli received the letter and rushed back to Sifang Town with Bai Ruihe overnight.
Before leaving, Zhao Renhua wrote a recommendation post for him and another letter, which clearly stated the causes and consequences of Wen Boli's divorce. He carefully stamped his private seal and handed it over to him.
Touching the letter in his arms, Wen Boli thought about the scene where Fu Youqin was swept out of the house by herself, and a cold smile appeared on her face.
*******
Dai Fu tidied up the guest room in the East Courtyard, and Chu Xiangtian moved in the next day.
The guest room is very close to Wen Tian’s main house, and all the apps inside are based on Wen Tian’s cost.
Chu Xiangtian thought about the bamboo slept at the beginning, and compared the current treatment, he couldn't help but sigh that the young master really didn't like him before.
I walked around the room with my hands behind my back, and there were several sets of clothes in the cabinet in the room, and the materials were all fine brocade.
Chu Xiangtian had a smile on his eyes and eyebrows, and he turned his toes to the study to find the young master.
After the crisis was lifted, Wen Tian began to read books day and night. As long as he wanted to find him, he would definitely go to the study room.
Chu Xiangtian opened the door and entered with a light movement. Wen Tian's back was straight, holding a brush in his hand, and was taking notes carefully.
Sitting opposite him, Chu Xiangtian looked for a while, and suddenly said, "How about I find a teacher for you?"
Wen Tian has become much familiar with Chu Xiangtian recently, and Wen Yan didn't raise his head and said, "Do you still know the Master?"
It’s not that he looked down on the bandits, but that Chu Xiangtian really doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the literati.
The bandits who robbed the house and stood together with the teacher who taught and educated people, and they were so strange that they thought.
Chu Xiangtian twitched his lips, "You will know when I find it. Yijia Tanhua, is it enough to teach you?"
Wen Tian subconsciously felt that he was bragging, but thinking about it, except when he was teasing him, what Chu Xiangtian said seemed to be true.
Therefore, he did not immediately refute this time, but nodded obediently.
So obedient, Chu Xiangtian got up, rubbed him, and prepared to go up the mountain to catch Zhou Chuanqing and give lectures to Wen Tian. After all, he was a Tanhua. After teaching for a while, at least he would make the young master happy as a juren.
Chu Xiangtian returned to Xishan Village to catch people. As soon as he left, Wen Boli took the people to the door.
He brought Bai Ruihe and his son, and two vicious officers and soldiers to Wen Mansion with great momentum.
After returning with the county magistrate's letter, even the county magistrate was much more polite to him. Knowing that he was going to Wen's house, he took the initiative to send two officers and soldiers to support him.
After changing his disgraceful appearance when he left, Wen Boli stood at the door with a proud and arrogant person.
The concierge had to explain, and knew that the master and his wife had a quarrel, the housekeeper also specifically reminded him that if the master came back, they would not let the two of them go in at will.
"Master, I'll go in and send a message."
The doorman guarded the door and asked someone to go in and spread it.
"When will I go back to my home and I will have to wait for the news?" Wen Boli waved open the doorman without hesitation and drove straight in with the people.
Wen Ji, who was rushing to the scene, just bumped into him, and he led two servants to block the way, put his hands on his hands and said without saying a word, "Master, Madam is not at home, you go to the main hall first, I have already sent someone to spread the word."
"Is this your attitude towards the head of the family?" Wen Boli asked sternly, "Who is the one who is in charge of this family?!"
Wen Ji lowered his head with his arms folded and bowed slightly, with a respectful posture but no movement. The three of them stood in the middle of the road.
"If you contradict your master like this, you should learn some lesson." The officers and soldiers who came with Wen Boli had to explain in advance. Knowing that Wen Boli was appreciated by the county magistrate, they found an opportunity and wanted to sell him personal favors.
The two twisted their wrists and slowly approached Wen Ji and the other two.
"Who dares you?" Wen Tian, who was late, waved his hand, and surrounded the four or five thick servants who came over, surrounded the two officers and soldiers and Wen Boli.
Relying on the large number of people and the situation reversed instantly, Wen Ji saw Wen Tian, and reached out to wipe the sweat beads on his forehead and whispered that his wife was already on the way back.
Wen Tian nodded and turned to meet Wen Boli and the others. Since he had already tear his face, he was too lazy to disguise and asked without hesitation: "Are you back to pack your luggage? I have already asked someone to pack for you."
"Unfilial son!" Wen Boli was so angry that he looked upside down, and stared at Wen Tian tremblingly, "Do you still have my father in your eyes?"
Wen Tian decided to tell the truth, "You don't have my son in your eyes, so naturally I don't have you as a father."
Wen Boli was choked and couldn't speak, but the other party had a lot of people, so he could only compromise for the time being and angrily shook his sleeves to the main hall.
Several people went to the main hall to wait. Wen Tian sat in the master's seat. The maid made tea and brought it over, but only missed Wen Boli and the others.
After sitting down for about a quarter of an hour, Fu Youqin rushed back.
Today she went to inspect the village in Lehe Town. As soon as she arrived there, the servants came to send a message saying that Wen Boli had returned and was worried that Wen Tian would be bullied at home, so she asked the coachman to rush back.
Sitting down beside Wen Tian, she took a sip of tea slowly and asked Wen Boli if he had come back to deliver the book.
Wen Boli's face changed slightly, and he took out a letter with the seal of the government and slapped it on the table, "I don't know how to sign the book of Li, but if you press the handprint on the book of divorce, I will no longer pursue the previous matter."
He looked at Fu Youqin proudly, his eyes full of disdain, "Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless."
Fu Youqin looked at him in disbelief. She had never noticed before that Wen Boli was so stupid.
After taking the divorce letter, Fu Youqin raised her lips and smiled, tearing the divorce letter to pieces in front of him.
"You are a son-in-law, where is the right to leave me?" Fu Youqin took a sip of tea and said slowly: "You are almost the same if I leave."
Wen Boli blushed when he was ridiculed. He looked at the officers and soldiers who had never said anything since they came in, and asked in a low voice if he could transfer more people to come.
The officers and soldiers were just given up, so they naturally wanted to save face. After hearing Wen Boli's suggestion, one of them went out to transfer people.
