Chapter 14

This young registrar of Xuanwu City was named Wang Lian. He was 21 years old this year. He became the registrar of Xuanwu City after he passed the imperial examination.

Of course, he didn't give up the imperial examination. He was studying while he was an official, preparing for the imperial examination. In ancient China, this was not possible. At most, he could be an advisor and prepare for the imperial examination. But in this world, it was possible.

He was not a native of Xuanwu City. His home was in Nanyuan County. But he was famous for his talent, even in Xuanwu City.

He also had another identity, and that was a distant relative of the Black Tortoise Earl Manor.

In that case, did Shen Lang know this Registrar Official?

Yes, he did. Three years ago, he taught Shen Lang how to read, and he taught him for about half a month.

Furthermore, this story also involved one person. It was the number one beauty within a radius of several hundred miles. She was the dream lover of all the young men, the daughter of the Black Tortoise Countess, Jin Mulan. She was known as the princess of Black Tortoise City.

At that time, Jin Mulan led a group of people to hunt. When she came to the mountain behind Shen Lang's house, she encountered a big black bear. Her horse was frightened and directly rushed out.

At that time, Shen Lang was a nerd with low intelligence. He squatted in the middle of the road, holding an enlightenment book in his hand and reading it while shaking his head.

Why did he squat in the middle of the road? Because there was a group of ants moving here. He was not counting the ants, but he was worried that the ants would be trampled to death. So he stayed here and waited for the ants to finish moving and leave. Once someone passed by, he would remind them to go around.

Jin Mulan's frightened horse rushed directly to Shen Lang. Behind it, a huge black bear madly chased it, with more than a dozen arrows stuck in its body.

It seemed that Shen Lang was about to be trampled into meat paste by the horse.

This young miss of the Black Tortoise Count's Mansion quickly dismounted from her horse and stood on the ground. She used one hand to pull a large, startled horse to the ground, saving Shen Lang's little life.

Not only that, but the black bear behind her still rushed over, its huge bear claws smashing towards Jin Mulan's head.

Jin Mulan grabbed the warhorse with one hand and swung her sword with the other, chopping off the head of the giant bear. Her strength was simply too awesome.

At that time, the imbecile, Shen Lang, was grazed by the horse's hoof and fainted.

He wasn't heavily injured, but he fainted from fright.

Therefore, this memory was unforgettable, but it was also a little vague. Moreover, at that time, Miss Jin Mulan was wearing armor from head to toe, and the visor had covered her face. That imbecile Shen Lang had no idea that she was the daughter of the Count House.

When Shen Lang read the memory, he recognized the woman as Jin Mulan based on her silver armor and the emblem on the team's flag and shield.

Jin Mulan saved Shen Lang's life, but Shen Lang was scratched by her warhorse after all, so she would take responsibility until the end.

Therefore, she sent a doctor and some tonics from the Count House to treat Shen Lang.

She even personally visited Shen Lang once, but at that time, Shen Lang was unconscious, so she didn't see him.

Jin Mulan was the princess of Xuan Wu City. She was superior and much nobler than Xu Qianqian. At that time, Shen Lang was just like an ant. Not to mention scratching Shen Lang, her warhorse deserved to trample him to death.

However, this noble daughter not only sent someone to treat him, but also visited him personally.

Therefore, it was true that Xuan Wu Mansion loved its people like their own children.

At that time, Wang Lian had just passed the Imperial Examinations and hadn't become a registrar yet. Because he was a distant relative of the Count House, he came to visit the Count House.

Of course, even if he was a distant relative, he rarely had the chance to interact with Miss Jin Mulan. Although he was a newly promoted Imperial Examinations, his status was still far from Jin Mulan's.

And he was very fond of Jin Mulan. After hearing about this, he found out that Jin Mulan had come to visit Shen Lang, so he specially went to Shen Lang's house to express his condolences. When he found out that Shen Lang was still studying in the town's school, he personally taught Shen Lang how to read. If Jin Mulan came to visit Shen Lang and saw this scene, she would definitely have a deep impression of Wang Lian.

Of course, at that time, Shen Lang was as stupid as a block of wood, so he couldn't teach him at all. Wang Lian was so talented that he passed the Imperial Examinations at the age of 18. He had never seen a person as stupid as Shen Lang.

He persisted for half a month, but Jin Mulan never came to Shen Lang's house again, because she was on a military mission.

Therefore, Wang Lian gave up and didn't go to Shen Lang's house to teach him. Teaching an idiot like Shen Lang was simply torture.

But he and Shen Lang were indeed old friends.

When they met again this time, Wang Lian had grown a short beard and was wearing an official's uniform. In addition, there were only a few people in Shen Lang's memory that were relatively clear, so it took him a while to remember this person.

It was precisely because of this that Chen Lang dared to request a competition with the Xu Clan, and he even took out the violet and rainbow colored dyes.

Because he knew that this young registrar had a grudge against Zhang Jin.

When he was teaching Shen Lang to read, Wang Lian cursed Zhang Jin more than ten times.

Everything was in plan.

…

Hearing Shen Lang calling him brother, the registrar frowned slightly.

The registrar frowned slightly and did not answer Shen Lang's question. Instead, he said, "You should have been studying, but you chose to dabble in dye. Aren't you abandoning yourself?"

This was not prejudice. In this world, there were two noblest skills. One was reading, and the other was practicing martial arts. They were almost equal.

After the Song Dynasty in ancient China, the literati basically suppressed the martial artists. The literati were noble and the martial artists were lowly.

However, in this world, in the Great Yan Dynasty, the literati and the martial artists were equally noble, and they were the absolute ruling class.

The martial and the literati were equally noble, and they were the absolute ruling class.

But being a dye craftsman was completely a lowly job.

Just now, the master dye craftsman of the Xu family was already extremely outstanding, but he didn't have a name from beginning to end. He was just called craftsman Xu.

Of course, this registrar was just saying.

At that time, in order to please Miss Jin Mulan, he taught Shen Lang to read for half a month. He still remembered that Shen Lang was as stupid as a pig. Such a person couldn't be a county scholar even if he studied for a hundred years. Reading was a waste of time, life, and money.

"As for Miss Jin of the Count House!" The young registrar, Wang Lian, turned his head and glanced at Shen Lang, saying, "She is the daughter of a noble family with a hundred years of history. She is very noble, so her name is not something that you, a country bumpkin, can call."

After that, Wang Lian turned and left.

When he turned back, his face showed disdain.

The reason why he was against the Xu family just now was that he had a grudge with Zhang Jin. He took the opportunity to suppress the Xu family, not because of his friendship with Shen Lang.

Although he taught Shen Lang to read for half a month, in his heart, there was no friendship at all.

"Ridiculous country bumpkin, you even want to take the opportunity to build a relationship with me. You are really wishful thinking, shallow and ignorant!"

The young registrar, Wang Lian, sneered in his heart, and then directly rode back to the mansion.

Shen Lang saw clearly from behind that the registrar didn't like him at all, and didn't want to build a relationship with him.

Of course, he was not surprised.

…

After the registrar, Wang Lian, left.

The boss of the Splendid Court, Lin Mo, said, "Shen Lang, you won. You slapped the Xu family hard in the face. But it was better to lose. Now you are even more miserable! "

Tian Xianzhi of the Black Clothes Gang said lightly, "Shen Lang, you are finished!"

Lin Mo said, "The registrar is just hostile to the Xu family, so he suppressed them, not to protect you. So if you encounter any trouble or danger in the future, he is not willing to help you at all. You are out of his league. "

Shen Lang knew all this!

The registrar, Wang Lian, was young and vigorous, and came from a famous family. Of course, he wouldn't put a poor country bumpkin in his eyes. According to the previous memory, Shen Lang knew enough about him.

But it was enough to use him to suppress the Xu family today. Shen Lang didn't expect to build a relationship with him at all.

And soon, Shen Lang would become Wang Lian's rival in love.

So, Shen Lang's family was not out of danger, and even fell into a more dangerous situation. Now the Xu family wanted to kill him even more.

He was just buying time. He only needed one day to carry out his reversal plan.

Once he succeeded, he could completely reverse the situation, and even surpass everyone.

At that time, the Xu family, the Lin family, and Tian Heng would not be able to hurt him, and they would be afraid that Shen Lang would come to suppress them.

And this day depended on the value of the rainbow dye, which was the reason why he dyed the rainbow silk just now.

This rainbow silk must be stunning enough to show great value, and must make the Xu family drool.

If there was no accident, Xu Qianqian would come back to him soon.

Today's matter was indeed dangerous, but it was basically all within his calculation.

…

Sure enough, not long after Shen Lang left Lin Mo's Splendid Court, Xu Qianqian appeared, and her carriage appeared in front of him.

"Shen Lang, I underestimated you before." Xu Qianqian said softly, "I didn't expect that you would learn to dye for me. You are really considerate. Why didn't you tell me before?"

It was normal for her to think like this. Before, Shen Lang was really obsessed with Xu Qianqian and was willing to give everything for her.

And the Xu family was in the cloth and silk business, so in Xu Qianqian's view, it was reasonable for Shen Lang to specially learn to dye in order to please her and to be a useful person.

And the skill of dye may not be able to be a smart person. It needs a stupid person with a one-track mind, countless experiments, and finally find the perfect formula.

"If you had said it earlier, I wouldn't have had to drive you out of the house." Xu Qianqian's voice became more gentle, and she said, "Our marriage is fake. I want to marry Childe Zhang Jin. But you can still go back to the Xu family to be a guest, what do you think? "

Shen Lang didn't say anything.

Xu Qianqian's eyes were soft, and she said softly, "Shen Lang, I will give you 10 gold coins every month, enough for you to support your family. As long as you hand over the formula of the purple and rainbow dyes, I can prepare the best dyeing house for you, so that you can devote yourself to the dyeing process and become the best craftsman. Don't you love me very much? Aren't you willing to give everything for me? In this way, you can help me. "
