Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The people who spent the war on New Year's Eve have found the feeling of the festival again. Since General He Shen left in depression, the officials of the Ji Chicken Office have gradually invited each other to have banquets and invitations.

The appointment of the Ministry of Personnel, which Wu Qianhu said, was about to come down, was not late until ten days later, allowing Yang Ling to fully understand the gap in efficiency between the secret intelligence system and the normal channels of the government.

Today, the magistrate of Min County held a banquet to entertain Bidusi. Although the rewards and punishments of the court have not been promulgated, everyone knows that the promotion of Min County is about to be promoted. Although Huailai was defeated, the responsibility was not on the magistrate. As a civil servant, the county magistrate was able to kill the enemy's prince. In the eyes of the priest and the great scholars, its political significance is far greater than the essence of the war.

As he was drunk, Magistrate Min smiled and came to Yang Ling and whispered: "My Master Yang, my brother-in-law from this county has sent me a message that the capital city wants to transfer me to the south. I heard that he was transferred to the deputy envoy of the Haining Salt Transport Department."

Yang Ling didn't know how big the official was. Seeing that the magistrate Min was full of spring breeze, he must be a very small official. Besides, Haining was more poor than this remote border, so he hurriedly bowed and said, "Congratulations, congratulations."

The deputy envoy of the Salt Transport Department is a fifth-rank official. A magistrate of a third-rank county like Min Wenjian has been promoted to three levels in a row. The most important thing is that the Salt Transport Author is absolutely superior. The salt merchants in that area are all billionaires who are rich enough to rival the country. If a little bit of it leaks out from the cracks of their fingers, it will be enough for people to eat for a lifetime.

Magistrate Min was so happy that his eyes could not be seen. He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Speak softly, the edict has not yet come down, so it is impossible to say." He looked at the officials who were chatting and laughing, and said to Yang Ling: "Once the county has stabilized, it will help you move, and transfer you to Jiangnan. The county has been in this chicken crow that does not lay eggs for two years and has made no achievements. Once you come, the county will be promoted. You are my blessing general."

It’s good to be transferred to Jiangnan, but do I still have the fate to enjoy my life? Besides, I am currently an official secretary and secretly I am a Jinyiwei family who is one level higher than your boss. Without Jinyiwei nodding, how could it be so easy to transfer it?

Thinking of this, Yang Ling forced a smile and said, "Your care and cultivation of humble vocations, Yang Ling is really touched and heartless." County Magistrate Min saw that he was not in his mind and couldn't help laughing. He punched Yang Ling on the shoulder and said intimately: "A real man is determined to be in all directions, don't be so unpromising. Besides, it will take a year or two to find an opportunity to transfer you. If you are more happy, even the child has been born for such a long time. Since you are determined, you should start early and not mother-in-law or mother."

Yang Ling was like a 2-year-old King Kong, confused: "What? Why can't I understand the adults?" Min Magistrate Min curled his mouth and said with his eyes slanted: "You kid are not honest. Everyone knows this. Do you still have to hide it from me? Hehe, no wonder you hide it. That girl is so tender that she can even get out of water after pinching her hand, but don't worry, I'm not a woman, hahaha..."

Yang Ling was confused and waiting for questioning. Bidusi had already called County Magistrate Min with his tongue. He turned around in confusion. Liu Dianshi walked over with a smile and raised his glass to congratulate him: "Brother Yang, congratulations on your double happiness. The day before yesterday, he was honored as the postmaster and soon he would pass the imperial examination again. At that time, Liu would be disturbed by a glass of water and wine."

"Where is it, Lord Liu is polite." Yang Ling laughed and drank a glass of wine, and then the taste turned around. He passed the exam with the title of the Golden List, and passed the exam with the wedding night. What does it mean to be a small exam with the title of the wedding?

Yang Ling wanted to ask clearly, but these people were just drunk and chatting. When they caught someone, they chatted. After Liu Dianshi said that, he went straight to the chief clerk Wang. Yang Ling followed him, and even County Magistrate Huang didn't pay attention to him.

County Magistrate Huang walked to him, coughed lightly, and smiled and said, "Mr. Min is about to be promoted. With your qualifications and Master Min, I can't bear to be promoted to the seventh rank in a few years. Whether you can jump into the dragon gate in the future depends on your blessing. You are still young, just be careful to be an official. Once the storm and clouds meet, your future will naturally be bright, and you will not be anxious."

When Yang Ling saw that it was Huang County Magistrate, he hurriedly said respectfully: "Thank you, Mr. Huang for your advice, the students will be taught!"

Seeing that no one was paying attention from everywhere, County Magistrate Huang suddenly lowered his voice and said, "But you are reckless about this incident. Although the Ma family has declined, they were once an official family. Now everyone knows what you do, why can't you buy a concubine? If you are short of money, I still have some savings over the years, so you can use it for emergency treatment first."

Yang Ling was shocked: "Old Huang, what did you say? Take a concubine? When did I say I want to take a concubine? Besides, the Ma family's Miss is so naive that she is a concubine?"

His words shocked Huang County Magistrate Huang and said hurriedly: "Be careful, be cautious, be careful, be careful, be careful, be careful, be careful, what are you talking nonsense? Although being a concubine is not very good-looking, no one will laugh at her. If you speak like this, will Miss Ma still survive if you spread it?"

Yang Ling said dumbfoundedly: "Old Huang, what happened? Why can't the students understand?"

County Magistrate Huang smiled and said, "Taking a concubine is a matter of being beautiful. Why are you still tender? That day you and Miss Ma returned to the city. We and Magistrate Min heard Miss Ma tell you that you had spent the night together in the snow cave in the mountains with you."

After hearing this, Yang Ling suddenly realized and couldn't help but laugh, "Old Huang really misunderstood. Miss Ma and I had to hide in the snow cave because of the cold weather. There was nothing." Speaking of this, he remembered that the two had hugged each other for a night, and even in modern times, it was ambiguous enough, and they couldn't continue to say it for a moment.

County Magistrate Huang twisted his beard and said unhappily: "It is always true that a lonely man and a woman spend a night together? Since she told her experience in public, she obviously has feelings for you. A woman's reputation is important. Can she still choose her husband to marry again? Be rich and be kind, be righteous, and be righteous. You are a person who reads the books of sages. Do you still understand this principle? I regard you as my son and nephew, so you are so kind to you. Don't mislead yourself."

Yang Ling was speechless and could no longer speak...

Close to the base of the channel wall, the snow was creaking and creaking. When he walked to the fourth inn, he looked up and saw the lanterns in Ma Lian's yard light up. Yang Ling remembered what Huang County Magistrate said at the dinner party, and his heart moved and slowly walked over.

Before the door was closed, fireworks were seen coming out from under the lamp. Yang Ling walked to the door and saw Ma Lian'er sitting on a stool in front of the stove, holding her cheeks with one hand and handing the firewood into the furnace with the other, as if she was bored, her posture was delicate and lazy.

The firelight reflected her white and jade-like face, flashing a beautiful blush, and her charming eyes were faintly filled with a mature charm. The hardships made people mature. This young lady now has less fluent and frivolousness than when she first met, and inadvertently she has a somewhat quiet and steady temperament.

Yang Ling knocked on the door frame lightly. Ma Lianer looked up and saw that it was him. A sudden smile of joy and affection flashed in her eyes. She was excited to stand up, but immediately restrained her feelings and smiled and said, "I have returned to the city, but I haven't seen you one day. Has the banquet ended?"

Yang Ling's heart moved and couldn't help asking, "How did you know I'm going to attend a banquet?"

Ma Lian'er didn't answer, and only looked at him deeply with his talking eyes. Yang Ling was suffocated. He already knew that Ma Lian'er must have been paying attention to his actions all the time these days. On that night in Wuzhaling, were the words she said really joking?

"Since she spoke this experience in public, she obviously had feelings for you. A woman's reputation is important. Can she choose her husband to marry again?" After savoring what Huang County Chief said, Yang Ling suddenly understood that she didn't know that there were so many taboos. Will Ma Lian'er not know? She said those things, obviously creating a fait-made fact and using public opinion to make herself marry her.

Yang Ling couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Miss Lian'er, we got lost in the forest and spent one night together in the snow cave. Did you deliberately tell Lord Min and the others to listen to? You know that those red tape kills people and still joke about your reputation. How could you do such a stupid thing?"

Ma Lian'er's hand handing to the wood stopped, and after a while, she suddenly laughed and said, "Isn't it good to be stupid? Isn't it often said that women are virtuous if they have no talent? Do you like me to be smarter or stupid?" She smiled a little cunningly, and a bit proud of her tricks.

Yang Ling paused and said, "Why are you so ignorant? You are so careless!"

Ma Lian'er's hand shook, but she didn't look up, and lowered it stiffly. After a while, she suddenly choked and said, "Yang Ling, do you hate me very much?"

The red fire was spewing flames. Yang Ling saw a crystal tears dropping on the back of her hand, and couldn't help but feel soft and coaxed her, "How could that be? When did you see me hate you?"

Ma Lian'er burst into tears and smiled: "Of course... I haven't seen it before. I can tell whether you like me or not." Under the red fire, the bright smile was full of spirit, with a bit of joy and pride.

Yang Ling was frustrated. This girl not only looked like a vixen, but also like a little fox. I really don’t know if she was really sad or fake. It doesn’t look like she had just cried.

When he stared at her face, Ma Lian'er actually knew she was shy. She lowered her head shyly and said with a blushing face: "Brother Yang, it was a bad thing for me that night. You were right. If you really divorced the young lady, would it still be worthy of my love? That night, I saw you looking at the young lady under the city, and I knew that no one could replace her in your heart in this life. How dare I hope to replace her? I just hope... I just hope you can be nice to me too, and I will be content."

She stared at the flashing flames, her eyes filled with longing for happiness, and said in a dreamlike voice: "As long as I have a husband who can spoil me and love me, I will be satisfied. I don't want to have a rich and elegant family. The reputation of a wife... If a man who regards a woman as a private property, just like my father and many men in our Ming Dynasty, can the so-called wife give people happiness?"

She talked freely, and with a maturity that was not commensurate with her age, she revealed the girl's heart to Yang Ling: "I grew up outside the Great Wall. I am not as polite as our Central Plains women, but I am not a casual woman. Brother Yang, I will be cautious in my wife's manners and respect my young mother."

Yang Ling smiled bitterly and paused: "You... Look at you who are smart in your daily life, why is it so unreasonable? I won't accompany you crazy. I will go to Ma Ang to have a son tomorrow. The brother and sister are hiding in a place for life, no one will gossip?"

Ma Lian'er saw him turn around and left. This time she was panicked. She jumped up and stopped him, threw herself into his arms and said angrily: "You have only seen me for half a month, and I don't allow you to leave."

Yang Ling panicked and said quickly: "Let go quickly, what does it look like if you let people see it?"

Ma Lian'er was in his arms and didn't let go. Her pretty face was still tearful and smiled: "I am the one who will lose his reputation and be drowned by the spits. I am not afraid of it. What are you afraid of?"

Yang Ling was speechless and said juicyly: "This...I...I am worried about you." Ma Lian'er's eyes turned and said charmingly: "You can still marry me, but I haven't married yet. I am not afraid of others talking about it."

A trace of contempt and inexplicable hatred flashed in her eyes, and suddenly she said a common saying angrily: "I heard the drums screaming, but I still haven't farmed yet!"

Yang Ling stood there laughingly and laughed. Ma Lian'er smiled sweetly, wrapped her hands around Yang Ling's neck, and said intoxicatedly: "Since that night, I miss your arms so much, and I want to hear you tell me those stories that are afraid of people and want to hear. Do you know? From that night, I will never be willing to leave you again."

She really came from the inside and her tone was very sincere. Unfortunately, her beautiful and natural face had a fairy charm, but because she was still young and not so obvious. At this time, she looked like a young girl with delicate face and blushing cheeks. No matter how affectionate she said, she always had a weird charm, and felt like she was deliberately seducing people.

She looked at Yang Ling's cramped expression and said in a hint: "You really want to be sworn brother with my elder brother? Do you really want to be my fuck brother?" The bright and bright eyes were filled with two clusters of flames, and she hugged a song in her mouth: "Dry fire~ Fire~ It's easy to cook~~, Fuck brother, Fuck sister~~~ It's easy to make a kiss~~." After only a few sentences, she threw herself into Yang Ling's arms and plucked up the courage: "The song I learned outside the border, you want to be my fuck brother? Okay, I don't care!"

Yang Ling was completely petrified: "Comrade, where did you come from from time to time?" This young lady who looked like a little lady in front of others was as hot and unrestrained as a big girl outside the pass in front of him, without any concealment.

Ma Lian'er mustered up the courage to confess her love, and the heat of her pretty face was heating up. Her palm was pressed against Yang Ling's neck, and the back of her hand was warm and hot. It was baked by the stove. Are the plump and moving jade rabbits on her chest also warm and hot?

Yang Ling knew she shouldn't have thought, but when her eyes touched the graceful curves on her chest, this thought flashed involuntarily in his mind. He felt that his lower abdomen was hot, and an uncontrollable restlessness almost made him lose control and kiss the pair of cherry lips that he could ask for.

After falling further, he could no longer look back. Yang Ling secretly warned himself and suddenly broke free from Ma Lian'er's hug. Ma Lian'er was caught off guard and staggered back two steps, her face turned white for a moment. Her eyes, which were originally curved like Meiyue, suddenly became dull, as full of fear as if she was taken to the execution ground.

If Yang Ling had feelings for her and had the intention to bring her into the door, how could he treat her like this? Ma Lian'er tried hard to control herself, trying to maintain her last dignity, but tears flowed out in a state of unyielding manner, and a desolate smile appeared on the corners of her lips.

Yang Ling turned his head away and said softly: "Miss Lian'er, Yang Ling is not someone worthy of your life. Really, what I said today is not for myself, nor for my young mother, but for you. Two years, at most two years, you will understand why I reject you!"

He didn't dare to look back, so he walked straight out and disappeared into the night. Ma Lian'er slowly walked to the door, and his eyes that had lost their spirit looked in the direction of his disappearance, and slowly looked into the air after a while.

The sky is clear, a bright moon as bright as a silver plate, the low pressure sky reflects countless stars.

Ma Lian'er's eyes were blurred with tears and murmured in a low voice: "'Jinfeng Yulu meets you, you will be better than countless people in the world'.

I don’t know what you are saying or what excuses you are looking for. Maybe for you, the relationship that night was nothing, but do you know that for me, it was a happiness that I would never forget in my life!”
