We Agreed On Experiencing Life, So Why Did You Immortals Become Real?

Chapter 46: If You Come to Marry Me, I Will Wed You

The third day after Xiao Mo left Stone Bridge Village.

At the residence of the county magistrate of Qingshan County.

County Magistrate Sun Siyuan of Qingshan County strode quickly toward the separate courtyard where Xiao Mo was staying.

”Xiao Mo,” Sun Siyuan walked into the courtyard, his face bearing joy.

”Lord Sun,” Xiao Mo put down the book in his hands, stood up, and bowed to Sun Siyuan.

”The blacksmith Leiʼs apprentice just came over, saying that the item you wanted has been completed. Would you like to go retrieve it now?” Sun Siyuan asked.

”Naturally,” Xiao Moʼs eyes also flashed with brightness, ”I have troubled Lord Sun these past few days. The gold that Lord Sun lent to this humble student, I will certainly repay to you, my lord.”

”Haha, no rush, no rush, itʼs just a bit of gold,” County Magistrate Sun said with a laugh.

Two days ago, after Xiao Mo came to Qingshan City, he found County Magistrate Sun, expressing that he wanted to borrow some gold to have something made.

Originally, Sun Siyuan had been worried about what to give Xiao Mo that wouldnʼt seem vulgar while deepening their relationship.
After all, once Xiao Mo entered court as an official, they would meet less frequently but after Xiao Mo passed the provincial examination, he wasnʼt short of money, and he seemed to be a person without desires or demands.

Many wealthy merchants had offered him things, but he hadnʼt accepted any.

So County Magistrate Sun truly didnʼt know where to start.

Therefore, when Xiao Mo actively sought his help, County Magistrate Sun almost laughed out loud.

County Magistrate Sun very generously took out a gold ingot and introduced Xiao Mo to the best blacksmith in Qingshan County.

Xiao Mo gave that blacksmith a design drawing.

Because it was a small item and didnʼt need anything embedded, just requiring some carved patterns, it could be completed in two days.

So Xiao Mo wanted to stay in Qingshan County but how could County Magistrate Sun let Xiao Mo stay at an inn?

He brought Xiao Mo to stay in his own residence, until now.

Actually, County Magistrate Sun wished that Xiao Mo would never repay that bit of gold.

In that case, Xiao Mo would owe him a favor.

Sometimes, when both parties willingly owed each other things, their friendship would deepen.

There were only two things that made County Magistrate Sun feel regretful.

First was that the item Xiao Mo wanted made was a small object, requiring little gold, so this favor couldnʼt be bigger.

County Magistrate Sun wanted to give the remaining gold to Xiao Mo, but Xiao Mo politely declined and refused to accept it no matter what.

Second was that Xiao Mo still had no interest in his own daughter.

County Magistrate Sun had insisted that Xiao Mo stay in his residence not only to deepen their relationship, but also to let his own daughter appear more frequently in front of Xiao Mo.

County Magistrate Sun was quite confident about his daughterʼs beauty.

Although Xiao Mo had politely declined him last time, this time, both parties could have some contact.

What if Xiao Mo thought ”this young lady is quite nice” and changed his mind?

During meals, Xiao Mo met Miss Sun several times.

When Xiao Mo was reading, County Magistrate Sun deliberately had his daughter go deliver tea.

After these two days of contact, the result was that Miss Sun had indeed become somewhat smitten with Xiao Mo but Xiao Mo never gave Miss Sun an extra glance.

Miss Sun even asked her father to find a way, as she wanted to marry Xiao Mo but what method could County Magistrate Sun think of?

It wasnʼt as if County Magistrate Sun hadnʼt investigated.

Xiao Moʼs sweetheart should be that Miss Bai from Stone Bridge Village, not to mention her appearance.

That Miss Bai had always taken care of Xiao Mo, weaving cloth and gathering herbs, exchanging them for silver so he could study.

If he truly used some underhanded methods, not only would Xiao Mo resent him, but if word got out, his reputation would truly be ruined forever.

He could only say that Xiao Mo and his daughter simply werenʼt fated.

After an incense stickʼs time, Xiao Mo and County Magistrate Sun arrived at the entrance of Blacksmith Leiʼs shop.

”County Magistrate, Master Xiao,” the thick-browed, big-eyed Blacksmith Lei, bare-chested, hurriedly came out and, imitating the manner of scholars, bowed to them.

”Blacksmith Lei, is Master Xiaoʼs item ready?” County Magistrate Sun asked.

”Ready, ready, please wait a moment, honored lords.”
