Villain: We agreed to cancel the engagement, what are you regretting?

Nanshi is the largest market in the whole Luodu. It is located between Sishunfang and Yongtaifang. It faces East Street in the south and Luoshui River in the north across two squares. It is a popular place.

Usually, Nanshi is open until noon at most. Now it is the Tianchang Festival, and there are many foreign vendors.

Special cases allow the market to be open until dusk until sunset.

The two came to Nanshi at the most prosperous time, with a bustling crowd and hawking sounds coming one after another.

The two walked around, looked and ate. Yang Xiaoxue was mainly watching and eating, and Wang Xuan was responsible for paying.

"Brother, look, this mask is so nice. Will it look good on me?"

"nice!"

"Brother, what is this? It's red and looks so good."

"This is a tomato, so it should be considered a fruit! You can eat it, try it."

"Mmm~ so sour! But very juicy, delicious!"

"So what is this?"

"Ah! That's pepper, it's edible, but......Hey! Don't eat it dryly!"

"ah~~~My mouth hurts so much, this thing is poisonous! Am I going to die? Brother...you have to avenge me, ah!"

Seeing Yang Xiaoxue burst into tears because of the spiciness, Wang Xuan found it funny and annoying.

Seeing this, the foreign merchant on the side waved his hands in a panic and said in awkward official language:"It's not me, she ate it."

Translated, it means: It's none of my business! This lady stuffed it into her mouth herself!

Wang Xuan shook his head and said to the foreign merchant:"Why are you still standing there, bring some water!"

Seeing this, the foreign merchant quickly brought a bowl of water from the store next door. Wang Xuan took it and slowly fed Yang Xiaoxue:

"Just drink some water."

Yang Xiaoxue didn't hesitate, and quickly went over to pour the water into her mouth. Finally, she calmed down, then touched herself and said in surprise:

"I'm not dead!"

Wang Xuan saw this dumbfounded scene and couldn't help but pat her head with a smile:

"Silly girl, it's just pepper, how can you die!"

Yang Xiaoxue stuck out her tongue, a little embarrassed.

Then her eyes seemed to have caught something, her eyes lit up, and she pointed to the distance and said:

"Brother! Break the big stone on your chest!"

Wang Xuan shook his head helplessly. What girl likes to break the big stone on her chest?

If you want to see it, brother will break a hundred pieces for you. Brother's chest is also very hard.

But Wang Xuan still followed her to watch.

Shopping~

What to see and play is not important, the people around you are the most important.

If you don't realize this, you will be shopping in vain.......

At this time, at the other end of South City, on the second floor of a street-facing restaurant, a group of scholars were drinking and having fun.

"Congratulations to Brother Lin, congratulations to Brother Lin!"

"Yes! If you can enter the Imperial Academy as a compiler, you will have a bright future!"

"From now on, we, the classmates, will rely on Brother Lin."

"It was just luck, it was all just luck!"Facing the compliments of the crowd, although Lin An said that he was lucky, he was quite enjoying it in his heart.

In the palace examination, Lin An won the second place in both civil and military examinations. Although it was not as dazzling as the first place in civil and military examinations in the original plot, it was still passed down as a good story.

According to the rules of the court, Lin An can choose to be granted a civil or military position.

At first, Lin An wanted to be granted a military position. After all, the martial arts of Daqian are flourishing now, and the third place in martial arts can be granted a fourth-rank official, and the future of choosing a military position is brighter.

But in the end, the Ministry of War actually granted him a garrison, and it was in Youzhou in the northern border.

Lin An strongly suspected that it was the Zhenbei Palace that was interfering.

He also looked for Murong Wanqing.

But it’s okay for civil officials, she really can’t intervene in the Ministry of War.

However, she manipulated the Ministry of Personnel and actually got him a position as an editor in the Hanlin Academy.

This is noble. It seems to be of low rank, but the status is extremely high, equivalent to the emperor’s secretariat, and will also be a reserve of the cabinet in the future.

This means This means that entering the Hanlin Academy is equivalent to having one foot in the core of the Daqian court.

Moreover, with the help of Murong Wanqing in the court, maybe within ten years, he can enter the cabinet and become one of the most powerful people in Daqian.

Moreover, it is heard that the empress wants to suppress military generals and promote the status of civil officials. Civil officials may be in charge of military and political power in the future.

He heard all this from Murong Wanqing, and it is highly credible.

So he thought about it and gave up the idea of being far away from the capital and becoming a garrison in the north, but entered the Hanlin Academy to become a compiler.

This matter naturally attracted the envy of many people. After all, not everyone can enter the Hanlin Academy. Those who are in this restaurant today are all students in the academy who want to make friends with Lin An. Almost all of them have passed the imperial examination, but their grades are not as good as Lin An.

They are all children from poor families. They gathered around Lin An just to keep each other warm and let Lin An lead them to make a name for themselves.

Lin An naturally took the lead and began to show his ambition:

"Today, we are all gathered here because we respect me, Lin."

"My lifelong ambition is to eradicate the unhealthy tendencies in the court and even among the people, to restore peace to the world, and to give poor people like us a bright and clear world!"

"good!"

"Brother Lin has lofty ambitions, I am ashamed of myself!"

"I am willing to follow Brother Lin and join in this endeavor!"

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

Seeing everyone agreeing, Lin An was filled with pride and said,"How about this, we form a society here, and in the future we can support each other and share what we have!"

Everyone agreed after hearing this.

""But what should we call our association?" someone asked.

Everyone fell into thought, and Lin An suggested:

"Since the purpose of this club is to help each other and share what we have, why not make it a mutual club?"

If Lin An were here, he would definitely laugh out loud. This is probably not a Nantong gathering, right?

However, the others did not think there was anything wrong, but applauded.

"What a good name!"

"I think this is a good name too!"

"Let's call it Mutual Society! It sounds good!"

At this time, someone with good eyes quickly said:"I suggest that Brother Lin be the president of this mutual society?"

Lin An quickly waved his hand and said:"No, Lin is not talented enough to take on such a big responsibility."

The students persuaded him.

"Brother Lin, you are a good person in every way except for one thing: you are too modest. If you are not talented and well-educated, then aren't we even worse?"

"Yes! Among all of us, only you, Brother Lin, ranked first, and you are also the double champion in the examination. Who else can be the president if not you?"

"If anyone dares to oppose Brother Lin being the president, I will be the first to disagree! Everyone, don’t you agree?"

"Right, that is it!"

"I agree!"

Seeing that everyone was nominating him, Lin An felt it was difficult to refuse and sighed:

"Then Lin will be the president of this mutual society. If there are any shortcomings, please bear with me!"Then there was another wave of commercial mutual praise, and Lin An was obviously enjoying it.

At this time, there were suddenly sounds of things breaking, women crying and cursing on the street.

It disturbed several people drinking in the room.

When everyone looked downstairs, they saw several strong men dressed in foreign vassal clothes, constantly pulling a weak woman, and cursing dirty words.

Many people had already watched on the side, but they only dared to point fingers.

After all, with this body, ordinary people like them would be looking for death.

Seeing this situation, the members of the newly established mutual society were indignant:

"How dare this foreign barbarian to cause trouble in broad daylight on my land of Daqian and even forcibly snatch my daughter! This is justified!"

"Where has this patrol constable in Nanshi gone? Why hasn’t he shown up yet?"

"Look, aren’t those detectives watching the show from a distance?"

"This makes sense. Why does the court spend money to support them?"

"Normally, they would stay away from gang fights, let alone facing this big and strong barbarian. If they were not careful, they might die in vain, so they would stay away."It sounded like an experienced person.

"Damn it! How can the people of Daqian endure such a great humiliation!"

"Brother Lin, you are the best martial artist here. Let's go down and teach those barbarians a lesson, so that they know that we are not easy to mess with!"

Hearing this, Lin An frowned slightly.

To be honest, he didn't want to get involved in this matter. He hadn't officially taken office yet, so he didn't want to cause any more trouble.

Seeing that Lin An was hesitant, some people who couldn't wait stood up directly:

"Since Brother Lin is not going, then I will go. Although Han's boxing skills are not as good as Brother Lin's, I still have a fearless heart."The person who spoke was called Han Li, who hated evil the most.

Lin An's face changed. He was scolding him for being cowardly!

This made sense. These people were really stupid!

Was he afraid? He was trying to prevent complications. They were just a few barbarians. He was a three-flower innate, and he knocked them down in a few moves! He was really brave but not wise.

But Lin An couldn't say that. If he said it, his group would be disbanded today.

"Brother Han, don't be impulsive. This matter needs to be carefully considered. We can go and inform the Wucheng Military Department and the Honglu Temple. They will���"It's reasonable."

Seeing that there was no fool around, this was the mature approach!

Han Li shook his head:"When the others come, I guess this girl will be raped too. By then, even if I kill that barbarian, what's the point?"

After saying that, he went downstairs with his sword in hand.

"Brother Han, don't be impulsive!"

""Ah! What should we do, President? Should we go with them?" someone asked.

Everyone looked at Lin An.

Lin An was also hesitant. Although he could think of a hundred reasons to shirk this matter, if he did so, the"mutual" of his"mutual society" would become a joke.

Will these people still believe in him as the president in the future?

"Damn it!" Lin An cursed inwardly, then shouted:

"Everyone follow me, our Mutual Society will never give up any member!"

Everyone was excited.

"yes!"

"Walk!"

"Although I don't know martial arts,......"Fuck him!"

Lin An deliberately walked slower on the way.

When the people from Mutual Society arrived, Han Li had already rushed up.

Unfortunately, three punches could not defeat four hands, and his martial arts skills were not good enough, so he was soon beaten black and blue.

Seeing this, Lin An's face flashed a smile, and then immediately turned into anger and roared:

"Stop it, everyone!"
