Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 454 Documents

Jin Hejing pursed his lips and said to Jiang Shangxian in a gentle voice, "Miss Jiang, why don't you give him the handkerchief first?"

If you block someone's mouth, they can't say anything, right?

Jiang Shangxian also knew that he was in a difficult situation. He gave Yingzi a look. The little girl stood up with a pout, patted the dust off her butt, and reluctantly reached out to take off the handkerchief. She pinched one edge with disgust and said, "I made this handkerchief during the Chinese New Year, and it's ruined now."

"I'll get you a few more pieces when we get back. You can choose by yourself." Xiao Jiang was still very patient with Yingzi.

One reason is that she is young, and the other is that she feels sorry for the hardships she has suffered since she was a child. In addition, this girl's heart and eyes are full of her, so she must love such a good girl more.

Yingzi was still unhappy. She was not asking for anything. She was just feeling bad. She had only used such a nice handkerchief for more than ten days!

She had planned on such a good thing. She would wash the handkerchief once a month, and it would definitely take half a year for the color to fade away. Humph~

Although the handkerchief was gone, the aftertaste of the roast chicken was still in his mouth. Lin Zihou was very sad. He didn't want to have a dirty handkerchief that had not been washed for many days stuffed in his mouth!

"Mr. Lin, you said you didn't eavesdrop on this intentionally..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zihou nodded like a chick pecking at rice. He really meant well but ended up doing something bad. He was just unlucky!

"If that's the case, are you willing to sign a document?" Jiang Shangxian had a tense face, trying hard to imitate the cold expression of his own little Cui, trying to give Lin Zihou some mental deterrence!

However, the deterrent effect of the small round face is really a bit low. When looking seriously, it looks more like a bun with wrinkles.

Lin Zihou was stared at by her and suddenly wanted to eat the round steamed buns with meat filling.

"Huh?" Seeing that he was a little dazed, Jiang Shangxian dragged out the tone unhappily.

"Yes, yes!"

Hearing the faint threat in her tone, Lin Zihou immediately agreed out of courtesy: "What kind of document do you want? I'll write it right away!"

Lin Zihou swore that he had never experienced such an absurd thing in his life.

For example, now he was moving his wrists which were numb and painful due to being tied up.

His roommate Jin Hejing finally got his belt back and successfully freed his hands - he was grinding it for him.

Lin Zihou felt that if the experience of being tied up just now was unforgettable, then the look on Brother He Jing's face as if he had experienced something unpleasant while pinching his collar was even more unforgettable.

A little girl who was only as tall as his belly button stared at him fiercely. The kind and well-meaning Mrs. Xia was "taking care" of the unconscious Brother Wenzhe.

The mastermind of the normal incident, Jiang Shangxian, the young lady, was sitting in a chair, calmly explaining the key points of the document to him:

"Just write that if you tell anyone a single word about what happened today, you will never pass the Spring Examination."

hiss....

Lin Zihou heard Jin Hejing gasp.

It's indeed a bit vicious.

He dipped his pen in ink, organized the words in his mind, and then began to write: "Today's events are all the fault of me, Lin Zihou. As the saying goes, a gentleman is cautious when alone and humbles himself. I, Lin Zihou, swear hereby that I will not say a single word about what happened today, whether it's in public or in public, even if I'm alone. If I break this oath, I will have no hope of passing the imperial examination in this lifetime."

He wrote and read at the same time. When he finished, he glanced at Jiang Shangxian, wanting to see if she was satisfied. He saw her nod slightly. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard her say, "It's not enough to fail the Spring Examination in your lifetime. If you get married in the future, no matter how many children your wives and concubines have, none of them will be yours."

"Sigh~"

Jin Hejing took a small step back without leaving a trace. Such a sinister oath must not affect him!

"This....Ah~"

Lin Zihou also felt that it was a bit vicious. Wasn't this cursing himself to be a cuckold more than once?

He didn't put down the pen in his hand for a long time, and he seemed to be in a very difficult situation. Yingzi and others' necks were sore, and they slapped the table with their little hands - very lightly and carefully, for fear of waking up Qi Sanlang.

"My aunt told you to write, so you just wrote. What's the point of stopping for no reason?! The child isn't yours, but the wife and concubine are, isn't that enough?"

Yingzi didn't understand the affairs of men and women. She just thought that Lin Zihou was too pretentious. He had a wife, concubines, and a baby he got for free. With so many people working for him, what else could he be dissatisfied with?

Lin Zihou: ...How else could this be?

"Miss Jiang."

Lin Zihou put down his pen and said solemnly, "There is one thing I need to make clear."

"What's the matter?"

Xiao Jiang was silently disdainful in his heart. Haha, men, once it comes to the issue of cuckoldry, it's like having their tailbone stepped on. Ha~

"My Jiumu Lin clan has a clan rule that any man in the family who is over 35 and childless can take a concubine."

Lin Zihou felt that this could be written, but if his future wife could give birth, why would he have wives and concubines?

This statement itself is a paradox!

Jiang Shangxian originally had a cold face, but now he has no expression.

Nervous, what does this have to do with me?

"Oh, never mind, it doesn't matter, just write as I say."

Lin Zihou didn't care about her attitude. He just wanted to make things clear. After all, the document was meant to be fulfilled, and the oath on it had to be carefully considered. What was the point of writing something down if it couldn't be fulfilled?

Isn't that deceiving?

"Finally, write down your name, place of origin, date of birth, number of people in your family, number of cows on your land..."

Lin Zihou was a very fussy person. He took his time to write a long document, and the words were so densely packed that even Jiang Shangxian was a little tired of waiting, let alone Yingzi?

Even Old Madam Xia moved a stool and sat next to Qi Sanlang to watch whether he was awake or not.

Jin Hejing carefully reviewed the document and was about to say it was fine when Jiang Shangxian said, "Jin Langjun, please sign your name as a witness."

hiss.....

Don’t miss out on this one!

He tried hard to shrink himself to the back!

Jin Hejing thought quickly in his mind. With his current financial strength, it would be difficult for him to take a concubine. He already had a child who looked exactly like him, so there was no possibility of any accidents.

After figuring this out, he felt no pressure when signing.

He won't tell anyone anyway.

How could you not understand why Qi Sanlang and Cui Shaoqing chose him?

Even if Qi Wenzhe was lucky enough to pass the exam, it would still be a daydream to want to compete with Cui Shaoqing!

This was the first time Xiao Jiang had done such a wicked thing. Although he looked calm on the outside, he was actually quite nervous. He put away the paper and wanted to leave, but he saw his grandmother still staring at Qi Sanlang. He walked over and said, "Grandma, are you going home?"

Old Madam Xia couldn't read, so she didn't get involved. When she saw they were done, she asked, "How could someone be unconscious for so long after just a hit on the head?"
