She heard that Du Zhongheng's family background is very good, even if he doesn't take part in scientific examinations and go into office, he will have no worries in this life, but after being spurned by scholars all over the world, he left his home and moved to Chengbei District alone. stay in.

This place is equivalent to a forgotten corner, and those self-respecting scholars would not be willing to come to this "dirty" corner.

Perhaps Du Zhongheng just wanted to stay away from those gossips and live his little life quietly.

Mo Ruyue looked at the small house. There were no shacks within ten meters in diameter, not to mention that it was far away from sewage and garbage. It looked like a small paradise.

The closer you get to the small house, the less stench you can smell in your nose. Within ten meters, there are flowers and green grass, which are obviously carefully tended by someone, but they were not taken and sold by the surrounding poor. Incredible.

When Mo Ruyue was standing outside the gate of the small courtyard, she heard cocks and dogs barking inside, and she felt like she had suddenly returned to Qinjia Village.

She suddenly felt that this man seemed to be enjoying his current life.

Mo Ruyue stepped forward and knocked on the gate of the small courtyard, but no human voice responded except for the dog's barking.

She waited patiently for a while before knocking again, and this time there was a sound of pulling the soles of her shoes.

"Who?"

The voice that responded was lazy, just listening to his voice, it was not difficult to imagine his lazy and wanton appearance, and then thinking of his deviant words and deeds at the beginning, the appearance of the world as an enemy just came into view.

"Mr. Du, I was introduced by the old imperial doctor Tian, ​​and I want to discuss something with Mr.

Mo Ruyue said politely.

"Oh, someone else will come to me to discuss things?"

The man's tone was very surprised, and then the sound of footsteps approached, and soon the courtyard door opened a crack, revealing half of his face.

"Hey, this lady, you said that it was introduced by Mr. Tian, ​​but there is no basis for saying that."

His eyes rolled around, and he looked Mo Ruyue up and down. When he saw a woman wearing men's clothes, he couldn't help but froze for a moment, and then he opened the door wider.

"This is a letter of introduction from Mr. Tian."

Mo Ruyue handed over the letter in his hand, and also saw the man named Du Zhongheng clearly.

He is tall and tall, with a white face and no beards. Although his face is very ordinary, his eyes are full of energy, and he has a feeling of poetry and literature.

It's just that his eyes are a little arrogant. Obviously, even if he was spurned by scholars all over the world, or even rejected by the heavenly family, and cut off his career path, it has not caused him to fall down and live in despair.

This is quite in line with Mo Ruyue's temperament. He is not afraid of insults, does his own way, and insists on his own ideas. It is still very suitable for children to be enlightened gentlemen.

Du Zhongheng quickly read the letter from the old imperial doctor, and said with admiration: "I can't believe it, I can't believe that there are still people who want me to be a doll's Mr. Enlightenment? Or do you still not change your mind after knowing my experience? ,interesting."

On the other hand, he also raised his eyes to look at Mo Ruyue from time to time. There were scrutiny and jokes in his eyes, and there were also some well-hidden explorations. It seemed that he was also evaluating the real intention of guessing Mo Ruyue.

"What I am looking for is the talent and knowledge of the master. As for the others, as long as it is not a loss of virtue, it does not matter."

Mo Ruyue said lightly.

She didn't really catch Du Zhongheng's gaze, but there was nothing lewd and obscene in her gaze, it was just a normal inspection, and it was still within the range she could endure.

"Hehe, Mrs. Qin, please, let's talk slowly."

Du Zhongheng said, and let out a way, as if he wanted to see if Mo Ruyue would shy away because of the taboo of being alone and widowed. If so, she said one thing and did another. There is no need for consideration.

"Mr. Du, please."

Mo Ruyue said, and went straight into the yard, as if she really didn't care about the suspicion of Lixia.

Du Zhongheng raised his eyebrows and followed into the courtyard, but the courtyard door was wide open and did not close.

He led Mo Ruyue into a room, looking at the layout inside, it looked like a study, with several shelves of books lined up in it, and a porcelain jar with many scrolls of calligraphy and painting beside the bookcase. As for the bookcase On the other hand, there are pen holders and pen washers, which look very formal.

"Miss Qin, sit down. I'll get you a pot of tea. I'm the only one in this yard, so I have to do everything myself."

Du Zhongheng said with a smile, he was about to turn around and walk out of the study.

"Mr. Du, you don't have to be busy. Let's talk about it here. I also want to invite you to our house and get along with the babies. This way you are also a process of choosing each other. It's uncomfortable, isn't it."

Mo Ruyue didn't come to drink tea, she was still worried about going back earlier, if Du Zhongheng was not suitable, she might as well find another way.

"Oh, Mrs. Qin, everything has been arranged step by step."

Du Zhongheng said in surprise.

He really underestimated this woman, watching her step by step, thoughtful and thoughtful, not a village woman with shallow knowledge and stupidity.

"Mr. Du, if you have any scruples and requirements, you can tell us in advance. I said it just now. After all, this is a two-way choice. Whether it is suitable or not depends on the temperament requirements of both parties."

Mo Ruyue responded to Du Zhongheng's words, and she also found that this man seemed arrogant and unruly, but every step of the way

They are all cautious, and even every question has a deep meaning.

"Ms. Qin, I'm a man. What scruples can I have? I'm just worried that your babies have made me Mr. Enlightenment, not to mention taking a scientific examination. I'm afraid no one will even ask for a private school."

Du Zhongheng shook his head and said with a wry smile.

At this time, there was a hint of sadness in his eyes. Obviously, this incident did not affect him at all, but he was very able to mediate his emotions and hardly showed it.

"Mr. Du, don't worry, if you're afraid of this, I won't come.

Mo Ruyue's words made Du Zhongheng ponder for a while, and then he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll walk with you, let's say everything is settled here, in case we go to your house, my baby and I will If we can't get along, it's in vain."

His attitude was refreshing, and he didn't even mention the matter of being lazy, and Mo Ruyue didn't say much.

The two walked out of the small courtyard together, attracting the attention of many people along the way, and some people even whispered in secret.

Mo Ruyue's ear is so strong that she can hear all those malicious words, but she has no intention of picking out these people one by one to settle accounts. Could it be that she can't live without work when she hears flies and mosquitoes buzzing?

After leaving the slum area in the north of the city, Mo Ruyue went to the carriage shop to retrieve her mule cart, and took Du Zhongheng straight to Qinjia Village.

When approaching the entrance of the village, some villagers who were working in the fields raised their heads inadvertently, and saw a strange man sitting on Mo Ruyue's mule cart, and went to her house.
