In the Chen family's house.
"Little Baby is back!"
"Little Baby is back safely!"
The women shouted in surprise.
Chen An squeezed through the crowd and rushed toward his mother.
"Mother! Mother, wake up! "Mother..."
Accompanied by her cries, Miss Chen finally woke up from her coma.
When she saw the child appear in front of her, Miss Chen hugged her and said,"An 'er, my An' er! Where did you go? You scared me to death!"
Her tears flowed uncontrollably, instantly wetting her clothes.
"Mother, I'm fine. I went to the county town to take the imperial examination!" Chen An replied with some shame.
As soon as these words were said, the Miss Chen was instantly stunned.
The surrounding women were all dumbfounded.
What was that? Imperial examinations?
Little Baby went to take the imperial examination alone? Oh my god, Little Baby is only seven years old this year!
Moreover, how could a child from an ordinary family enter the examination hall?
Everyone looked at Little Baby in confusion.
Feeling everyone's gaze, Chen An smiled and said,""Teacher Zhang from the city wrote a recommendation letter for me. So, I took the recommendation letter and went to take the exam!”
Teacher Zhang?
"Yes, Teacher Zhang Chuannan. Mother, you're still renting his family's land."
Hiss!
Hearing the name "Zhang Chuannan", everyone gasped.
He was the "Great Scholar" of Jiangling County, a noble scholar. Moreover, the Zhang family was also a big family in the county. They were the landlord tycoons...
Who would have thought that such a big shot would write a recommendation letter for Xiao Wa?
Little Baby was really too amazing!
"An 'er, how did you do?”The Miss Chen hurriedly asked.
Chen An chuckled and nodded.""Hehe, it's alright!"
Uh... what did he mean by 'not bad'?
For the backward Creek Mountain Village, the women in the village did not understand.
…At
this moment. At the east end of the village.
In the Muramasa's house.
The bailiff followed the village chief into the house and sat down in the central room.
Cunzheng handed a glass of water to the bailiff.
"Have a seat, I'm here on behalf of the county magistrate to ask you something!”
"Alright, alright. I will definitely tell you everything I know!”
The old man sat down as well.
"Tell me about that little boy. "What's his name, who's in his family, where is his ancestral home…" Muramasa
thought for a moment and began to explain.
"Gongren Rong reported that Xiao Wa's name is Chen An, and there is only his mother at home. His mother's name was Chen, and she lived in Zhijiang County (next to Jiangling).”
Zhijiang?
"Miss Chen isn't a local?" The bailiff was stunned.”
Muramasa nodded. Moreover, Chen An wasn't actually Miss Chen's biological son.”
Not biological?
The runner was stunned again."Then whose child is he?"”
"I don't know!" Muramasa shook his head."Actually, Little Baby was picked up by Miss Chen. This was a long time ago.”
As the bailiff listened attentively, Muramasa's memories returned to the past…
thirteen years ago.
At that time, the daughter of Chen was only 14 years old and married the third son of Zhijiang County Deputy.
It was supposed to be a happy marriage, but what was unexpected was: The daughter of the Chen family had no daughter for five years. The doctor diagnosed that the daughter of the Chen family was infertile.
In the feudal era, this was one of the seven sins.
The status of Lady Chen in her husband's family plummeted.
With no other choice, the Chen woman could only pray to the gods and go to a temple outside the county to make a wish.
After making her wish, the daughter of the Chen family went down the mountain with her family.
Suddenly!
A burst of wails came from the mountainside.
Miss Chen was shocked and ran over in a hurry. Then, he pushed aside the bushes and found a baby, a baby boy.
He was Chen An!
"What is it? It's so magical?"
The bailiff was shocked.
"Yes, it's very magical!" Muramasa nodded in agreement."And what's even more amazing is: The baby boy stopped crying when he saw Miss Chen. I want to hug you!"
"The Chen family's daughter, who had been childless for a long time, was so excited that she cried. She picked up the baby boy on the spot and brought him home.”
"The husband's family was furious. They thought that the child they picked up could not be regarded as the husband's legitimate son. The husband of Miss Chen was even more furious. He wrote a divorce letter on the spot and chased her out of the house.”
"And the family doesn't want the baby boy they picked up. They think it's an insult to the family. Left with no choice, the Chen woman could only bring the baby boy and leave. As they walked, they arrived at our Creek Mountain Village.”
"I made the decision to take in Miss Chen and her son. Therefore, they lived in our village from now on.”
Speaking of this story, Muramasa was also very emotional.
The runner was dumbfounded.
Wasn't this origin too mysterious?
A pair of orphans and widows had traveled over mountains and rivers from the neighboring county. The risks involved were simply nine out of ten!
In this era, even a strong man would not dare to travel alone, let alone an orphan and a widow…There
were bandits on the road, and they were extremely rampant.
If he was not careful, he would be beheaded.
"That's right! This is amazing!" Muramasa nodded in agreement."I heard from Miss Chen that: At that time, she carried the baby boy all the way here and did not encounter any danger on the way. One evening, when Lady Chen was hungry, a wild rabbit suddenly jumped out and crashed into a tree by the roadside.”
Puff!
As soon as he said this, the bailiff spat out a mouthful of boiling water on the spot.
What?
A wild rabbit hitting a tree? Rabbit meat to eat when you're hungry?
F * ck, am I listening to a fairy tale?
"Duke, I swear! All of this is true. Miss Chen told me personally. Moreover, Miss Chen even used the fur of that wild rabbit to make a rabbit coat for Little Baby. It's still in the Chen family's possession.”
"There
's more, there's more!" Lady Chen also said that when she was thirsty, a small river or stream would appear within half a mile. When she was cold, she would even come across caves or hunters 'huts in the wild. When he was tired, there happened to be a pavilion in front of him
…
The bailiff was completely dumbfounded!
Was this the birth of the Three Sovereigns, Five Emperors, and Saints? Wherever he went, there would be the help of heaven and earth.
This story was too amazing!
At this moment, the bailiff felt that his trip was not in vain. He could actually hear such a bizarre and legendary story.
Thinking about it this way, that little child was indeed not simple!
from time to time, heaven and earth are working together.
This was not a child prodigy, but a future saint!
Right, there was one last question.
"Who taught this little boy?”
"What? Enlightenment?"
"I just want to read and write!"
"Oh! Perhaps it was taught by the Chen family. The Chen family used to be a merchant in Zhijiang County. However, Miss Chen should not be literate. After all, she was a woman.”
Hiss!
Where did the talent of the child come from?
Could it be that there were really people born with knowledge in this world?
Oh my god, a Saint has truly descended upon our Great Tang!
The bailiff instantly stood up and rushed out.
He wanted to return to the county town immediately and report this "fairy tale" to the county magistrate
…Why isn't anyone paying attention to watermelons? Boohoo!）
