When the family was split, Liu Shi was divided into a shop and 100 acres of land.
The fields were rented out.
By relying on rent, Liu Qi can live a life of peace of mind.
What's more, he has a shop.
His shop sells pastries, named Hefangzhai.
When the shopkeeper asked him the name of the shop, the first name in his mind was Hefangzhai.
Who said that the pastry shop of Jianshen’s family is so famous?
The pastry shop sells traditional Chinese dim sum, and the main products are peach pastry, as well as osmanthus cakes and beef tongue cakes, and the business is pretty good.
Because the county is close to the capital, it is a must-pass way to enter Beijing, and there are many outsiders coming and going.
So, even if outsiders come, everyone will not care too much.
A foreign scholar lived in the county town temporarily.
This scholar came to Beijing to take the imperial examination, but now there is still half a year before the imperial examination, so the scholar settled down first and waited for the imperial examination to arrive.
The houses in the capital are too expensive and difficult to rent. The county town is one day away from the capital, and it is the first choice for many scholars from other places.
This scholar is named Cheng Huai. He is handsome and is only eighteen years old. He can pass the imperial examination and is a young and promising person.
The house he rented was next to Brother Liu's residence.
Brother Liu saw Cheng Huai and had an idea in his heart and wanted to marry Liu Mei to Cheng Huai.
Liu Mei was satisfied with this marriage, but they were satisfied, which does not mean that Cheng Huai would be satisfied.
Brother Liu talked to Cheng Huai about his marriage, but Cheng Huai refused.
Although Liu Mei was a little angry, she didn't take it much.
There are more than Cheng Huai who went to Beijing to take the exam. Without Cheng Huai, there are others.
But Liu Mei turned around and saw Cheng Huai and Liu Wei joking together. She looked very intimate and couldn't help but feel angry.
Cheng Huai refused her and actually joined Liu Wei. Doesn’t that mean she is not as good as Liu Wei?
No, she must snatch Cheng Huai over.
Liu Mei and Liu Wei were born on the same day, and they grew up together since childhood.
It has to be compared with everything, and it has to be grabbed by everything.
Liu Mei began to meet Cheng Huai "all kinds of times".
However, Cheng Huai did not respond to Liu Mei's intentional or unintentional show of kindness.
Liu Mei became angry. When she heard that Liu Wei and Cheng Huai were about to get engaged, Liu Mei was so angry that she ran out of the house and ran to the mountain to vent her anger.
This world is not as shackles on women as in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and girls can go out and play at will.
Liu Mei ran to the mountain in one breath, punched and kicked a big tree, venting her anger.
"The grass and trees are spiritual. If a girl treats this tree like this, the tree will feel it."
A voice sounded.
Liu Mei looked back and her eyes lit up.
Stand behind him was a young man in a brocade robe, who looked no less than Yu Cheng Huai.
The man smiled at Liu Mei: "I am Luo Yu, don't you know the girl's name?"
"My name is Liu Mei."
Luo Yu was not a student who went to Beijing to take the exam, but came to play.
He is elegant and looks like he is not short of money.
Liu Mei couldn't help but feel good about this person.
Luo Yu seemed to have a good impression of Liu Mei and was interested in going to the Liu family to propose marriage.
At this moment, news came from the capital that the emperor wanted to conduct a talent show, and girls over the age of sixteen must participate in the talent show.
The local county government first conducts the primary election, and the selected girl is sent to the capital.
Only girls who have not passed the primary election can negotiate with each other.
Before this, all girls who had not yet had a marriage contract could not discuss marriage.
This time, not only did Liu Mei and Luo Yu's marriage be suspended, but Liu Wei and Cheng Huai's marriage be suspended. Liu Mei and Liu Wei are the two most beautiful girls in the county town, and the county magistrate has already reported their names.
The two of them will definitely not be able to pass the primary election.
Liu Mei and Liu Wei shared the same hatred for the enemy and complained about the emperor for the first time, but they could only complain verbally, and they had no choice but to do so.
Luo Yu offered to take Liu Mei away, but Liu Mei refused.
If she leaves, the government will pursue the responsibility of the Liu family.
She can't implicate her family.
Luo Yu exposed his identity to Liu Mei: he is not a human, he is a god, and He Bo's son.
As long as Liu Mei marrys Luo Yu, Luo Yu will find a way to make Liu Mei become an immortal.
The emperors in the mortal world cannot control the gods and immortals.
Liu Mei was moved.
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
Marry a god, how can there be no girl who doesn't want to.
And this god is so handsome, he is much better than the mortal emperor!
But--
Liu Mei shook her head: "My name has been reported to the capital by the county magistrate. If I leave, the county magistrate will punish the Liu family."
She looked at Luo Yu expectantly: "Can you tell the emperor that he would let me go?"
Luo Yu was embarrassed: "The emperor has dragon energy to protect his body, and even gods can hardly get close to the emperor. .”
Liu Mei: "Then, what should I do?"
Luo Yu: "I'll talk to the county magistrate."
Luo Yu did not act like a god He went to the county magistrate to find the county magistrate, but instead found the county magistrate as a rich son and used money to buy the county magistrate.
He is quite familiar with human affairs.
The county magistrate saw the pearls sent by Luo Yu, and his eyes turned into copper coins.
However...
The county magistrate refused Luo Yu with great pain. "Young Master Luo, it's not that I don't help you, but that Miss Liu's name has been recorded in the capital. I can't let her lose the election!"
Luo Yu frowned and wanted to beat the greedy dog official, but he finally held it back.
He cannot get too much trouble to attract the attention of the Heavenly Court, otherwise he will not be able to get what he wishes to marry the Peony Fairy.
Now the reincarnation of Fairy Peony has fallen in love with him. As long as the Immortal Lord Yun Huan comes out to make trouble, he will definitely be with Fairy Peony.
However, if Fairy Peony is selected by the emperor and entered the palace, he will be separated from Fairy Peony.
Even if the two have feelings but cannot be together, if they cannot become husband and wife in this life.
Will Fairy Peony continue to have this relationship with her when she returns to heaven?
So, Liu Mei must not be allowed to enter the palace.
Luo Yu found Liu Mei and told her a solution.
Liu Mei gritted her teeth and said, "That's it."
Isn't it just pretending to be sick?
She can do it, and with Luo Yu's magic help to cover it up, the doctor would not tell whether she was really sick or pretended to be sick.
The two of them discussed and made a plan.
No one discussed with Liu Wei, and Cheng Huai was just an ordinary candidate and had no way to help her.
The two could only break up sadly.
Ten days later, the prestigious girl selected by the county town will go to Beijing.
Of course, there are not only two girls Liu Mei and Liu Wei selected in the entire county, but also several girls.
The other few who were not voluntarily like Liu Mei and Liu Wei, and a few of them were determined to enter the palace.
The purpose is naturally to be rich and prosperous in the palace.
Who doesn't want to reach the sky in one step?
If you really get the emperor's attention, you will become the empress.
But he can wear gold and silver and be served by many people!
And the emperor is not very old, he is only in his thirties, and he is still in his prime! (This chapter ends)
