I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 139

"I heard that Dalang Zhan also took the exam." In the yard, the young daughter-in-law asked in a low voice.

Shanwazi Niang nodded, since Xiaoyu had a promising future, the Zhan family in the old house is now on the same side as Li's, which is worse than ordinary relatives, so Boss Zhan returned the pension money.

"I heard from Wen Cheng that he was on the secondary list in the first exam, but failed in the second exam." Shanwa Ziniang has a good relationship with Mrs. Li, and now she has some status in the village.

"So besides talent, studying also requires hard work. Dalang has been studying for so many years, but the total amount of time is not as much as Xiaoyu."

"Yeah, I asked Mrs. Li, Xiaoyu really wakes up before dawn, doesn't sleep when it's dark, and can't sleep for three hours a day." The little daughter-in-law who was talking thought of her son who was still nursing at home. , no matter how distressed I am, I will make up my mind to let my son study in the future.

The fat aunt couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "As the old saying goes, you can be the best if you eat hard. Don't spoil your children in the future. No matter how hard and tired you are in the past few years of studying, it's better than digging in the fields for a lifetime."

Everyone understands this simple truth. Studying is hard, but it can only be hard for more than ten years. Being a mud leg is hard for a lifetime!Even if the child is not talented, but after studying, it is better to work as a small steward in a workshop or as an accountant in the county than to plan food in the field.

"Little fish is back." The child who was eating wedding candy outside the door shouted happily.

They may not understand what is the use of obtaining fame and fame, but the family can eat meat every few days and wear new clothes. When the salesman comes to the village, they also have copper coins to buy sugar, all of which come from Zhan Fei. Fish, no matter how young the children are, they will remember it.

"Miss Xiaoyu, you are back."

"Xiaoyu Xiaoyu, your clothes are so beautiful."

"Ah, sister Xiaoyu is giving out sugar..."

The children shouted excitedly, Zhan Feiyu patted the heads of a few three- and four-year-old children, and He Sheng took two big bags of candy and sent them out.

Zhan Feiyu was not surprised that there were Daoxi villagers inside and outside the house, and the kitchen was full of food brought by the villagers, with the most eggs, several chickens, and a few fish in the bucket. It was the old patriarch and the village chief who had spoken before, not to allow the villagers to give congratulatory gifts, otherwise it must be more expensive pastry fabrics or something.

"Thank you, uncles and aunts. I have eaten at home and I will go back to the farm to study, and I will take the government examination in April..." Zhan Feiyu's face froze with a smile. The villagers were simple and enthusiastic, but she was really overwhelmed.

"It's alright, it's alright, it's fine if you want to, let's all go home and cook, the whole family is still hungry." Muramasa had to raise his voice to help persuade, even if he wanted to celebrate, he had to wait until after the hospital examination. At that time, there must be running water mats in the village.

The villagers didn't dare to delay Zhan Feiyu's time, and left in twos and threes with the candy-eating children, but they still talked about Zhan Feiyu, and by the way, they talked about how to teach their own children. After all, Zhan Feiyu is good, That is someone else's baby.

The crowd dispersed, and the house finally became quiet.

"Good boy, reading is important, and you should take care of your health." The old patriarch looked lovingly at Zhan Feiyu with his picturesque features. With such a demeanor, who would have thought that Xiaoyu was born in a rural farm.

The old patriarch couldn't help thinking of two years ago, when Xiaoyu was a little fairer than the little girls in the village, and he looked a little cuter.

But after studying and entering school, this demeanor is completely different, especially the eyes, which are clear and bright, but they still reveal a bit of the noble dignity of a scholar, making people dare not offend at all.

"Grandpa, I remember." Zhan Feiyu nodded obediently, and personally sent the old patriarch and the others out of the courtyard. After all, it was just a county examination, and a congratulatory greeting was enough. It would be unsteady to celebrate with great fanfare. .

The outsiders had left, Mrs. Li and Boss Zhan were both happy and worried. No one had asked about Feng Er's death so far, but it was like a big knife hanging above their heads, and the couple were both worried.

"Mother, don't worry, Feng Er's death will not have any twists and turns. Master Chen has already found out that his death has nothing to do with father." Zhan Feiyu reassured the couple.

The Qin family stood still, and Zhan Feiyu guessed that she planned to wait until she went to the government test. There was still more than a month before the government test, and Zhan Feiyu didn't plan to passively defend.

With Qin's vicious and vicious style, if she is not dealt with, there will be endless troubles in the future. If the Qin family and the same family retaliate, they will only target Zhan Feiyu, not Li and Boss Zhan.

This is not because the two families are benevolent, but because they know that even if Mrs. Li and Boss Zhan die, they will only anger Zhan Feiyu and have no real effect. To put it bluntly, without the couple, Zhan Feiyu will be less dragged down.

But Qin is a woman in the back house, she thinks differently, Zhan Feiyu will definitely be sad, blame herself, and suffer if something happens to the Li couple, no matter how happy she is in the future, this will always be an unhealed wound in her heart Qin's goal of revenge was achieved.

"It's really all right?" Boss Zhan saw that Zhan Feiyu nodded, and finally showed a relaxed expression on his dark face.

"That's good, that's good." Li Shi also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he is an ordinary person. Thinking of carrying a life on his back, he can't sleep well at night.

In the early morning of the second day, Zhan Feiyu left Jinlin Village to go to the county school, first to announce the good news, and second because of Tan Min's death.

It took more than half a month from the opening of the county examination to the release of the rankings, but it didn't have much impact on the students of the county school. What they had to prepare for was the autumn of August this year, and it took only five months to complete their calculations.

In the Three Provinces Hall, not only Zhao Jiaoyu was waiting, but Master Dou and Master Niu also came over after assigning homework.

Zhan Feiyu is now a student of the county school. It may not be a big deal for her to win the first place in the county case, but if she can still take the top spot in the government and hospital examinations later, it will be a small three yuan and the glory of the entire Shangsi County.

"Teaching, Master." Zhan Feiyu greeted first, and then smiled mischievously, "The students didn't embarrass the Masters, did they?"

"Bachelor Gu is a six-yuan grade." Master Dou was already serious, but even though he was happy, what he said was still admonishing, "There are many talents in the government and college examinations. You are smart and hardworking, but you have only been in school for two years. , the children of the aristocratic family are all enlightened at the age of four or five, and now they have studied for at least ten years, so don't be complacent!"

"Yes, I would like to follow Master's instruction." Zhan Feiyu said sincerely.

Master Niu glanced at Master Dou who was serious and stern, and said in disapproval: "The other students dare not say that Xiaoyu is calmer than us."

"Master's absurd praise, a galloping horse can't take ten steps; a rough horse can ride ten times, and the merit is hard to give up. I have talent, and so do others." Zhan Feiyuyu replied, after all, after living two lives, Zhenhe and seven An eight-year-old urchin is like a child, so she will kill herself with a piece of tofu.

Zhao Jiaoyu stroked his beard and laughed, "That's a good statement. The way to study is to persevere."

Zhan Feiyu is indeed talented, but who among the scholars who take the imperial examination is dull?After the big waves washed the sand, the last ones left were the best ones out of ten thousand. A county case leader is really nothing.

After all, the county school still has to teach normally. After Master Dou and Master Niu left, Zhao Jiaoyu greeted Zhan Feiyu to sit down, "The government exam is only over a month away, and there will be a college exam after that. Master Dou and the others are busy. Autumn in August, you will come to Sanshengtang to study directly from tomorrow."

After all, the progress of teaching is different. It was nothing to be in the same class before. Zhan Feiyu was able to keep up with the progress, and even surpassed some students.

But it will be autumn soon, Master Dou and the others will teach some changes, more targeted, Zhan Feiyu also has to prepare for the government examination, and it would be inappropriate to take classes together. Zhao Jiaoyu had already met with Master Dou before They discussed it and planned to teach Zhan Feiyu alone.

"Yes, let the teaching and masters bother." Zhan Feiyu quickly thanked, thinking of what to say, he hesitated.

Putting down the teacup he picked up, Zhao Jiaoyu had already lived to such an age, so he could see Zhan Feiyu's entanglement at a glance, so he couldn't help laughing, "If you have something to say, it's okay to say it."

Standing up, Zhan Feiyu with a solemn face gave a general account of Feng Er's affairs.

"I've also heard Mr. Chen say about this matter. People don't sue, officials don't investigate. Feng Er's body was buried in the yamen, so it stands to reason that this case has been closed." Zhao Jiaoyu asked Chen County Magistrate specifically before, that is, I am worried that someone will use this to attack Zhan Feiyu.

Fortunately, the clerk of the yamen conducted a secret autopsy, which was also recorded. Of course, Feng Er died of a heart attack, which was an accident. Can't make any waves.

"Teacher, after Feng Er's death, the teacher asked Jin Longwei to also examine the body. Although Feng Er died of a heart attack, the root cause was that someone gave him drugs for heart disease recurrence." Zhan Feiyu couldn't directly say Yin Wuyan, Fortunately, there is Gu Qingzhou, a teacher, as an excuse.

Scholars cherish their reputation, Gu Qingzhou is so cautious, but it shows that he values ​​and protects Zhan Feiyu, a disciple. Zhao Jiaoyu couldn't help asking: "Who is the murderer?"

"Wan Yunhao's wife, Qin." Zhan Feiyu was not surprised to see the astonishment and bewilderment in Zhao Jiaoyu's eyes when he said this.

At that time, Wan Yunhao became a teacher of Patriarch Qin, and even married his wife Qin, which indirectly caused the death of Zhao Jiaoyu's granddaughter Tan Min. If there is indeed hatred, Zhao Jiaoyu didn't want to take revenge in the past, but since then, he has been with Wan Yunhao. The students who teach carefully are kind and righteous.

As for the Qin family, Zhao Jiaoyu had never vented his anger, so when Zhan Feiyu mentioned her, Zhao Jiaoyu was really shocked.

After a while, Zhao Jiaoyu said solemnly, "Could it be because of Wan Yunhao's death?"

Although Liu Jian was the murderer who directly poisoned Wan Yunhao, Zhan Feiyu was the trigger. If the Qin family took their anger on Zhan Feiyu, it would make sense to take revenge.

"Yes and no." Zhan Feiyu didn't hide anything, and told the information about the Qin family investigated by Chongguang, "Although the Qin family is hidden behind the scenes, she is ambitious. After Wan Yunhao died, she wanted to control Qin's family." Home is no longer possible."

It can even be said that the Qin family has been abandoned by the Qin family. It is normal for a widow who can only guard the chastity archway to be abandoned by the Qin family. If the marriage is well-matched and there are two children, the Qin family may maintain it.

But Wan Yunhao came from a poor family, once he died, the Qin family and the two children were worthless. Her revenge was not only because of Wan Yunhao's death, but also because of her anger and unwillingness.

Although Zhao Jiaoyu lived a long time and experienced Wan Yunhao's betrayal, after hearing Zhan Feiyu's words, Zhao Jiaoyu was so shocked that he almost pulled out a few beards. Thinking of a housewife in the Qin family planning to seize power and want to control the Qin family.

But if Wan Yunhao hadn't died, and considering Qin Ye's respect for Wan Yunhao, with Wan Yunhao and Qin's scheming, the couple could completely avoid Qin's eyes and ears and destroy Qin Ye.

Once Wan Yunhao is named on the gold list, he will deploy step by step and calculate closely. It is not impossible to control the Qin family in the future. After all, they have no intention of calculating.

"Jiaoyu, with the Qin family's scheming and means, have you ever thought about..." Zhan Feiyu hesitated, looking at the old Zhao Jiaoyu, if Tan Min's death was revealed, it would be no less than uncovering the teaching. Tell the scars in my heart.

Thinking about it this way, Zhan Feiyu changed the topic: "Karma is what it is. Wan Yunhao betrayed the teachings back then, and the Qin family must have contributed to it. Now it seems that it is just retribution."

With the power of the Qin family in the Southern Xuanfu, how could it not be found that there was only one apprenticeship ceremony between Zhao Jiaoyu and Wan Yunhao, but the head of the Qin family accepted Wan Yunhao as a disciple, after all, he just valued Wan Yunhao's potential And in the future, they even created public opinion to whitewash Wan Yunhao, and Zhao Jiaoyu got a bad name instead.

Zhao Jiaoyu is a scholar, he may not be good at intrigue and calculation, but he can pass the exam, so he is not a stupid person, and he can clearly see Zhan Feiyu's embarrassment and entanglement just now.

"Xiaoyu, what did you just say?" Zhao Jiaoyu seemed to have thought of something, but as if he didn't know, he looked at Zhan Feiyu with burning eyes, but he didn't allow her to use any excuses to cover it up.

After a long while, when Zhan Feiyu finished speaking, the only thing that was quiet in Sanxingtang could be the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops outside.

Zhan Feiyu looked at the silent Zhao Jiaoyu worriedly, wanted to speak, but couldn't say anything, and wanted to give himself two fists in annoyance. Before, he wanted to make Tan Min wronged, and he didn't know why he couldn't die. It can also be used to catch Qin's murderer.

But at this moment, Zhan Feiyu realized that he was too selfish and cold-blooded. Even if the murderer was caught, the dead would be dead, which would only make the living more painful.

When her granddaughter died of illness, Zhao Jiaoyu only had heartache, but if she had been poisoned, the heartache would have turned into self-blame and guilt. Thinking about it this way, Zhan Feiyu was full of bitterness. I didn't expect it at all before. She deliberately ignored it.

"Xiaoyu, you don't have to blame yourself. Min'er died of illness for many years. If you don't mention it, I never thought that she was killed by someone." Resenting the blame, he comforted him instead: "You are a disciple of Master Gu. If you go to the capital in the future, I'm afraid you will encounter more dangerous things. It's good that you are like this."

Killing people and setting fire to the golden belt, paving bridges and repairing roads without bones, if Zhan Feiyu only knows how to read books, reading dead books, he will definitely be counted against in the future and there will be no bones left.

……

Ji Chaoce is a doctor, and he also knows about autopsies, but Jin Longwei's assistant is even more proficient in this, but the assignment of the assistant is too conspicuous, otherwise Chongguang would not have given out two hundred-year-old wild ginseng to bribe Ji Chaoce.

Three days later, according to the deduction of the great monk in the temple, the museum can be opened on the fifth day of March.

"You two just let Zhao Jiaoyu open the coffin for autopsy?" Ji Chaoce looked at Zhan Feiyu and Chongguang coldly. It would be fine if something was found out. If everything is normal, it would not be harmful.

"Don't talk about me, I'm following orders." Chongguang didn't take the blame, and shamelessly pushed Zhan Feiyu out, "If you want to scold, you should scold the fat girl."

If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, Zhan Feiyu would definitely have kicked him over. At this moment, he could only say in a low voice, "Uncle Chongguang sent someone to test Mother Hao before, and the possibility of Tan Min being poisoned is at least [-]%."

The battlefield for women in the inner house is only the one-acre land in the backyard. No matter how ambitious Qin is, she is also restricted by her identity and gender. The two she trusts most are Nanny Hao and Huang Bin.

But in order to maintain her kind and dignified image in Huang Bin's mind, such things as poisoning Tan Min can only be left to Mammy Hao.

County magistrate Chen stood not far from the tombstone, and behind him stood two trusted men, Fei Butou and Zhao Bukuai. Before Zhao Jiaoyu came to the county government to visit and talk about the opening of the coffin for an autopsy, Chen County magistrate was also taken aback. Jump.

But after all, the magistrate Chen, who has been an official for many years and has rich experience in solving cases, knew what Qin had done these years. His opinion was the same as that of Zhan Feiyu. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the marriage, Qin would definitely poison Tan Min.

After Zhao Jiaoyu worshiped his granddaughter, Zhao Jiaoyu, who was holding a hoe, quickly asked, "Zhao Jiaoyu, do you really want to open the coffin?"

"Let's dig." Nodding with a heavy face, Zhao Jiaoyu hasn't slept well in the past three days, and his whole body is exhausted.

Thinking that Tan Min was killed by poison, Zhao Jiaoyu's heart was pierced. If he had been more cautious back then, what would Minmin do?
"Jiaoyu, death cannot be brought back to life." Zhan Feiyu came over to support Zhao Jiaoyu, looked at the removed tombstone and said slowly: "Based on Qin's behavior, if you find out about Jiaoyu, she will only use Another way to kill Miss Tan."

If the poisoning is not successful, there may be other accidents, falling into the water?fire?The carriage overturned?

If Tan Min survives for a day, even if Qin Shi marries Wan Yunhao, she will not feel at ease. She will definitely worry that one day Tan Min will regret it and reveal his affair with Wan Yunhao.

Even if Tan Min couldn't be killed, it would only ruin her, so that no one would believe Tan Min even if he revealed his affair, and it's too easy to ruin the reputation of a girl's family.

As the daughter of the Qin family's descendants, Qin is also loved by the elders, and has a lot of power in her hands.At that time, just find a local ruffian, or find a flower picker, or even make an accident of catching an adulterer in bed when Tan Min is out. Whether it is Tan Min or Zhao Jiaoyu, they will only be counted against the Qin family.

"I understand." Zhao Jiaoyu nodded in agreement. Not only was Qin ruthless, but she was also shrewd and cunning, and she figured out what Zhao Jiaoyu was thinking.

After the news of Wan Yunhao and Qin's getting engaged, Tan Min's health became worse and worse. Dr. Tao, who was in charge of diagnosis and treatment, told Zhao Jiaoyu privately that it would only take a few months, not even for the New Year's Eve .

Sure enough, more than a month later, when the first winter snow fell, Tan Min died of illness, and Zhao Jiaoyu, the grandfather, was deeply saddened.

After the funeral, Zhao Jiaoyu packed all the letters between Tan Min and Wan Yunhao, including the gadgets that Wan Yunhao had given Tan Min over the years, packed them into a full box, and finally burned them.

After Qin got the news, she was completely relieved. Even if Zhao Jiaoyu brought up the matter regardless of her granddaughter's reputation, Tan Min is dead, and those things have been burned to ashes. Qin doesn't need to worry anymore what.

In the final analysis, it was the Qin family who figured out Zhao Jiaoyu's character. He was a bit of a scholar, but he was upright. He didn't even want someone like Wan Yunhao to tarnish his granddaughter's reputation, so he never mentioned the two verbal engagements to anyone. After that, he even left Nanxuan Mansion and returned to Shangsi County sadly.

……

The coffin was made of high-quality sandalwood, and even after being buried in the ground for ten years, it was still intact, but the color was a little faded.

In addition to Fei Butou and Zhao Bukuai, Zhong Guang was also helping. The three of them were all Lianjiazi, and they carried the coffin out without much effort.

"Kids, don't look!" Chong Guang covered Zhan Feiyu's eyes, and then turned him around with a clever trick, turning his back to the coffin behind him.

Zhan Feiyu nodded, and there was the creaking sound of the coffin being pried open behind him.

Ji Chaoce spread the straw mat on the ground, and then spread a layer of white cloth on it, so Chongguang and the others put Tan Min's bones on it.

If Tan Min's death was similar to Feng Er's, after many years of examining the bones, nothing would be found, but if he died of poisoning, his body would rot, but there would be clues left in the bones.

An hour later, the coffin was put back into the tomb.

Zhan Feiyu handed the bamboo tube filled with water to Zhao Jiaoyu, "Jiaoyu, the dead are gone, and the living are mourning. You still want to avenge Miss Tan."

"I know, I know." Zhao Jiaoyu nodded his head choked with sobs, but outsiders couldn't understand the grief in his heart.

Tan Min was poisoned to death. If she died of illness slowly, Qin was worried that she would have long nights and dreams, so she chose to poison her and finish the matter as soon as possible, at least not delaying her marriage.

"I read a few prescriptions before. Miss Tan's medicine contains ginseng that nourishes qi and blood..." Although Ji Chaoce could not find out what kind of poison Tan Min was poisoned by, he could deduce it based on the prescription dictated by Doctor Tao.

Ginseng nourishes qi and blood, but Tan Min is weak and sick. If he takes ginseng tablets directly, he will not be able to replenish his deficiency. Therefore, most of Dr. Tao's prescriptions are for strengthening the body and nourishing the vitality.

And ginseng is kneaded with more than 30 herbs to make ginseng Rongyang pills. These pills are not made by Doctor Tao, but made by the Huangjia Pharmacy, which has been the best at pharmacy in Nanxuan Prefecture for a century.

There are eighteen anti and nineteen fears in Yaopu pharmaceuticals. Materia Medica clearly states eighteen anti, half-scalloped beetle and gongwu, algae, halberd, and all kinds of warweed, and all ginseng, Xinshao, and veratrum.

Among them, Li reed anti-ginseng, adding veratrum into the pills, will not only destroy the medicinal properties of ginseng for invigorating vitality, but if a master of medicine and pharmaceuticals uses it, it may even produce toxicity and eventually cause death.

"Grass and rocks are the opposite, confusing people, and they are as powerful as swords. Miss Tan died of insomnia and dreaminess before her illness, and occasionally had chest tightness and cramps, and finally coughed up blood. It seems to be due to illness, but in fact it is caused by poisoning." Ji Chaoce His expression was as indifferent as ever. As a doctor, he had seen too many deaths.

The Huang family is also an aristocratic family of Xinglin, so they tampered with the pills, not to mention Zhao Jiaoyu, even Doctor Tao couldn't detect it.

Tan Min's various symptoms before her death were completely consistent with her illness, just like Feng Er died of a heart attack. From the eyes of ordinary people, there was nothing abnormal. No one would have thought that it was caused by drugs.

County magistrate Chen looked at Zhao Jiaoyu, whose eyes were red. The two had known each other for many years, and they felt sad at this moment.

"Teacher, just watch, karma loops, and retribution is not good. There is evidence left on Miss Tan's body, and the Qin family will definitely pay for it in the future!" Zhan Feiyu comforted him in a low voice, and this was also because the Qin family wanted to pay for it at the last moment. Tan Min was poisoned in a short time, so the ironclad evidence was left.

Half an hour later, when he returned to the residence of the county school, Zhao Jiaoyu fell into a coma because of his mood swings.

"This is the prescription." Ji Chaoce handed the prescription he had just written to Zhan Feiyu, and seeing her frown, he couldn't help but said, "Zhao Jiaoyu's body is fine, it's just a temporary grief."

"I understand." Zhan Feiyu nodded, dried the ink, and told the boy outside the door to go to the pharmacy to buy medicine. The vegetable porridge is here."

"Yes, I've written it down." The boy nodded, carefully put away the prescription, took the money from Zhan Feiyu, and left to buy the medicine quickly.

In the courtyard, Chongguang guessed that Zhan Feiyu would wait for Zhao Jiaoyu to wake up before leaving. Seeing her close the door and walking over, he said in a low voice, "The two maids who served Tan Min back then have already tracked down their whereabouts. Madam is a daughter of the Qin family, so she is the aunt of the Qin family."

Chong Guang's meticulous investigation determined the cause of Tan Min's death, even after ten years, some people and some things slowly surfaced in series.

"With Qin's prudence, she will not directly ask her aunt to help." Zhan Feiyu didn't think that Mrs. Huang knew about this, but the pill must have been tampered with by the Huang family.

Sitting down on the stone bench in the courtyard, Zhan Feiyu thought about it and said, "Perhaps Wan Yunhao didn't know about Tan Min's death, so the only one who knew was the doctor who made the medicine back then, and the doctor might not know the key person." Who it is, it may be bought with a lot of money, or it may be that the Qin family knows his tricks."

"I'll go to Nanxuan Mansion myself." Shigemitsu only checked Qin's family before, and this pharmaceutical doctor may be the key to solving the case.

Thinking of Hao Nanny's defense of the Qin family, Zhong Guang looked at the sullen Zhan Feiyu and said, "Even if it is found out, Hao Hao mama may be able to fight all the crimes alone, and Qin will not be implicated."

The sun slanted down into the pavilion, and Zhan Feiyu was bathed in the sun, but the breath around him seemed so cold and ruthless, "Beheading is only a scar the size of a bowl, we don't need Qin to pay for his life, we just need Just let her have nothing, life is sometimes more painful than death."

If you really want to kill people, Zhan Feiyu doesn't need to ask Chongguang to do it, she can kill Qin Shi by herself, but it's too cheap for her to kill Qin Shi, so Zhan Feiyu doesn't care about any evidence, she only needs the final result.

The voice of the fat girl makes people feel hair-raising!Qi Ye was still worried that someone would bully her, so Chong Guang glanced at Zhan Feiyu with piercingly cold eyes, she would be fine if she didn't bully others.

Zhan Feiyu waited for two days, and after confirming that Zhao Jiaoyu was just mentally weak, but there was nothing wrong with his body, he asked Zhao Jiaoyu for leave.

Zhao Jiaoyu, who had just put down the medicine bowl, refused without thinking, "Are you going to Nanxuan Mansion? No way! The mansion exam is coming, so don't be distracted!"

"Teach me to promise that even if I go out, I will bring books with me, and I won't delay my homework." Zhan Feiyu quickly promised.

Looking at the unmoved Zhao Jiaoyu, Zhan Feiyu had to beg again, "Why don't I teach you to give me homework, and I will hand it over to you for correction as soon as I come back. It may take five days or ten days at most. Will be back."

"No!" Zhao Jiaoyu didn't need to think about why Zhan Feiyu went to Nanxuan Mansion, suppressed the emotion in his heart, and said in a stern voice: "You don't have to feel guilty about Minmin, even if you are because of the Qin family, For me, are you so irrelevant when you are an old man?"

Zhan Feiyu proposed to open the coffin for autopsy, half of the reason was to deal with the Qin family, and the other half was because he didn't want Tan Min to die in peace.

"Gentlemen follow the principles, so they are always comfortable; villains are in the service of things, so they worry a lot. Xiaoyu, you are not a villain, so why stick to it?" Zhao Jiaoyu didn't blame Zhan Feiyu at all, seeing her firm attitude If you want to go to Nanxuan Mansion, you can't help but sigh.

"This old man has been magnanimous all his life. Even if Wan Yunhao betrayed him, even if Minmin was poisoned, but this old man is not ashamed of the world. Xiaoyu, you still have a long way to go. There is nothing wrong with your actions, so don't take it to heart." Teacher Zhao Yu patted Zhan Feiyu's head. The little girl had been frowning for the past two days. When she looked at herself, her eyes were full of self-blame and guilt. She was really a kind-hearted and silly child.

Zhao Jiaoyu suddenly asked: "Do you remember the four sentences of Hengqu?"

Zhan Feiyu replied with a serious face: "Set up a heart for the world, a life for the people, a sage for the past, and a peace for all generations."

"Little fish, remember this statement, and you can act according to this as a rule in the future." Zhao Jiaoyu's expression eased a little, as long as the little girl is not a criminal, a little selfish, a little vicious, it's a harmless little thing.

……

After all, Zhao Jiaoyu couldn't hold back Zhan Feiyu, and finally agreed to her to go to Nanxuan Mansion.

The Donghu Inn is the largest inn in Nanxuan Mansion, and the inn's Linhu Xiaoxuan is even more elegant. The yard is not big, there are five main rooms and two side rooms, but because it is built near the lake, the scenery is excellent. Guests who are short of money will choose Linhu Xiaoxuan to live in.

"Miss, please." The shopkeeper of the inn warmly greeted the three of Zhan Feiyu.

Don't be fooled by the fact that she is not gorgeous, and she doesn't even wear any jewelry, but she is willing to pay five taels of silver a day for the rent, and it is covered for ten days at once. This little girl's status is definitely extraordinary.

"Trouble shopkeeper." He Nuan answered, not only she and He Sheng came, Chong Guang also came, but left first after entering the city gate.

The shopkeeper's enthusiasm took the three of them to the Linhu Xiaoxuan in the backyard, "There is a kitchen in the yard, if you need anything, you can order it, or you can order food and let us deliver it."

As a personal girl, He Nuan is proficient in almost [-] kinds of martial arts, and her cooking skills are not bad. Besides, she will stay for ten days, so He Nuan prefers to cook by herself, "I will write the menu later, and the shopkeeper will let you Just send the vegetables and fruits, and we will start the fire ourselves."

This maid is actually literate?The shopkeeper's attitude towards the three of Zhan Feiyu was a little more respectful. These days, only the maids of the big families can read, and some small families can't even read a few words for their pampered daughters.

Zhan Feiyu was already a little tired after traveling all the way.

However, the air by the lake is fresh, and I don't know what kind of flowers are planted in the yard. The faint scent of flowers blows along with the breeze, which makes people feel refreshed.

"Bring some hot water over here." Zhan Feiyu planned to take a bath before going to sleep. As for Qin's matter, he would make plans after resting.

Just as the shopkeeper was about to speak, he heard hurried footsteps coming from behind him, and when he turned around, it was the inn clerk, who seemed in such a hurry that there was a little ghost chasing after him.

"Hu San, why are you running around, worried about disturbing the distinguished guests!" The shopkeeper reprimanded a few words with a sullen face, and then apologized to Zhan Feiyu, "This kid is careless, disturbing the distinguished guests."

"Shopkeeper, it's not that I want to run away, it's really..." Before Hu San finished speaking, three people followed behind him.

As the person approached, a strong fragrance came to his nostrils, the smell of makeup powder was too strong, and the wind blew over, making his nose itchy, and Zhan Feiyu couldn't help but sneezed twice.

"Where is the stinky girl, the saliva is sprayed on my lady, get out of here!" The maid in the green skirt scolded sharply, staring at Zhan Feiyu in disgust, if she hadn't looked at He Sheng who was standing beside her He Nuan and He Nuan probably have to fight.

He Nuan's face sank, but Zhan Feiyu stopped him, "A Nuan, let's go in."

"Yes, miss." He Nuan was about to take the key of the courtyard from the shopkeeper, but saw this maid rushing over, obviously trying to grab the key.

He Nuan's skill is not as good as He Sheng's, but it is more than enough to deal with a pungent maid. Everyone saw that He Nuan moved her hand, and she had already grasped the key in her hand.

"Ah!" She rushed too hard but failed to grab the key, the maid couldn't control herself and fell forward, screaming sharply.

Fearing that she would fall to the ground and hurt her ugly face, the maid twisted her waist in a daze, her body fell to the right side, and she threw her hands forward, so that even if she fell, Zhan Feiyu would still be alive. mat.

Standing pretty in place, Zhan Feiyu didn't move at all, as if he was frightened.

But He Nuan kicked her unceremoniously. The servant girl was just glad that she had grabbed the fat girl as a meat pad, but suddenly her butt hurt, and she was kicked flying with great force.

Bang!The little maid fell headlong into the flowers next to her.

Uh... Zhan Feiyu's dark eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at the maid in the green skirt among the flowers with sympathy, and a clear and small voice sounded slowly, "The corridor is closed to cover the loneliness, Maid Bi is facing the red rose."

"And this poem?" He Nuan, who was always gentle and steady, rarely showed a surprised expression. Although she could read and write, she was not proficient in poetry and poetry.

Seeing the maid lying on her buttocks among the rose bushes, He Nuan glanced at Zhan Feiyu suspiciously, the lady must be lying, right?After all, the young lady wrote a doggerel not long ago, and Mr. Gu's reply was a full three pages, which made the young lady scold me like hell.

"The original sentence is about the green parrot and the red rose. I didn't change it for the occasion." Zhan Feiyu explained with a smile, and glanced at the flower-blossoming courtyard, "Ah Nuan, writing a poem needs feeling. We must write a few more poems to impress the teacher."

He Nuan and He Sheng were silent at the same time, reciting poems and doing something right, as long as the young lady is happy, the brothers and sisters on the left and right can't understand it, and they won't be irritated like Mr. Gu.

"My face!" The stunned servant girl finally got out from the rose bushes, and when she raised her head, she was really frightened.

Originally, this servant girl looked mean, with a long and thin face without much flesh, slightly drooping triangular eyes, not to mention a flat nose, but also big nostrils, but she liked to look at people with her chin raised, revealing two black nostrils.

But she was ugly before, at least not scary, but at this moment, her face was scratched by rose thorns, and seven or eight bloodstains were intertwined on her cheeks. In the afternoon, if it was a big night, it would definitely scare people to death.

Zhan Feiyu hid behind He Nuan for a while, poked his head out, and said with a smile: "A Nuan, I want to recite poetry again, in "A Ghost in the East Lake in March", people are ugly like evil ghosts, raising their heads to scare the neighbors. Destroying roses with hot hands, swallowing all souls with blood."

With a snort, the shopkeeper held back, but Hu San, the boy standing beside him, laughed out loud. He wouldn't understand those profound poems, but Zhan Feiyu's poems were easy to understand, and the key points were appropriate and appropriate to the occasion.

"I'm going to kill you!" Touching her face, not to mention the pain, the key fingertips still had blood stains, the servant girl screamed sharply, her face was ferocious, her eyes were vicious and ferocious, she really responded to Zhan Feiyu's doggerel .

"Miss Cuizhu, calm down." The shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward to stop him. Although he didn't know Zhan Feiyu's identity, the little girl spoke eloquently. This identity is definitely not ordinary.

But the shopkeeper knew the three people in front of him. The girl who screamed and grabbed a few hands on his old face was called Cuizhu. Although she was a girl, her status as master was also valuable. His wife, and the mother-in-law with a sullen face and a silent face is the third lady's nanny.

"Cuizhu back down!" Angrily shouted, Nanny Lu stepped forward, grabbed Cuizhu's wrist with her thick arm, and pulled him aside with force.

snap!Nanny Lu raised her hand and gave Cuizhu a slap in the face, and scolded sharply, "Useless things, you have disgraced the third lady! The dog on the street bit you, why don't you bite it back? You It's a maid from the Ming family, if someone hurts you, the Ming family, the Huang family, and the government will make decisions for you, so what kind of yelling does it look like!"

After the scolding stopped, Nanny Lu took a gloomy look at Zhan Feiyu, raised her hand and slapped Cuizhu's face fiercely, "You acted arrogantly before, these slaps are your punishment ! As for your face being ruined, the third lady will naturally seek justice for you!"

Cuizhu was beaten so hard that she couldn't speak, her cheeks were already red and swollen, her face was covered with fingerprints, and the corner of her mouth was also cracked and bleeding. This face looked disfigured at first glance.

Zhan Feiyu looked at Nanny Lu who was pointing at Sang and scolding Huai. She made a statement about her family and the government. She was not scolding her maidservant, but threatening Zhan Feiyu.

Zhan Feiyu, who was not frightened, rolled his eyes and urged in a crisp voice: "Ah Nuan, other people's house is beating dogs, it's too noisy, let's go, go to the yard to rest."

"Yes, miss." He Nuan immediately responded, as for Nanny Lu, even if she beat Cuizhu to death, He Nuan would not take a second look.

"Wait!" Mrs. Ming San finally spoke, and if she said she was beautiful, she was indeed beautiful, the radiant kind.

Willow-leaf eyebrows, phoenix eyes, tall figure, brocade and pomegranate skirt with a whole set of silver-dotted emerald headdress, and a good-looking red coral bracelet on her wrist. The bright red color complements her delicate and fair complexion.

Mrs. Ming San is gorgeous and proud, like a peony in full bloom, with a powerful demeanor that overwhelms the crowd.

Zhan Feiyu was noisy, but when it was time to make a move, she was still able to calm down the situation. At this moment, she walked over from He Nuan's side, her figure was as tall and straight as a green bamboo, and after she restrained her smile, her temperament was as calm as the water of the East Lake, " I don’t know what advice Madam has for you?”

"You hurt my maidservant, I don't care about it with you, I just let this yard go and find another place to live." Mrs. Ming San was definitely domineering, and she showed a haughty gesture of grace when she opened her mouth.

Zhan Feiyu looked back at He Sheng who was on the side, "Ah Sheng, you go to drive the carriage. Since this courtyard can't be lived, we will go to Mr. Zhang's mansion to live temporarily. Since we are here at Nanxuan Mansion, we should pay a visit to Mr. Zhang, otherwise That would be too rude."

Master Zhang?Not to mention the shopkeeper's stunned, even the proud Mrs. Ming's face changed slightly, but she didn't know whether Zhan Feiyu's words were deceitful or true.

Zhan Feiyu simply combed her hair in a bun. There was no expensive jewelry on her head, only a velvet flower made of silk, and her clothes were also the most common cotton material. She is literate, and can recite poems, which shows that she comes from a scholarly family.

So when she said Mrs. Zhang, the first thing that people present thought of was Zhang Zhangli, the magistrate of Nanxuan.

"Miss is the prefect of Zhang?" The shopkeeper asked cautiously. If this is Mr. Zhang's guest, let alone the shopkeeper, the domineering Mrs. Ming San would never dare to offend her.

Qingya Academy is the largest academy in Nanxuan Mansion, and Mr. Shan Changming is full of peaches and plums.

Mingshan has three sons, the eldest son is an official in the court, the second son is a teacher in the academy, but the third son has a bohemian character, so far he is only a scholar, married his wife Huang, who came from the second wife of the Huang family in Xinglin.

So in terms of status, Mrs. Ming's third wife is indeed distinguished, but it is not enough compared with Zhang Zhifu. Zhang Zhifu is a senior official of the fourth rank, and the eldest son of the Ming family is only a student of the Imperial Academy, a sixth rank. That's all.

Zhan Feiyu didn't answer the shopkeeper's words, but looked at Mrs. Ming San with an ugly face, "The Huang family? But Xinglin Huang's family? I remember that the Huang family only has a second wife and a daughter. Your mother is the daughter of the Qin family?"

The direct cause of Tan Min's death was that the ginseng Rongyang Pill was tampered with, and this pill came from the Huang family. The wife of the second wife was a daughter of the Qin family, and the Qin family wanted to call her aunt. That and the Qin family are cousins.

"Who are you?" Huang Li glanced at Zhan Feiyu fearfully. On weekdays, she wouldn't pay attention to a fat girl who was eight or nine years old.

But Zhan Feiyu first moved out the name of Zhang Zhifu, and now she knows the Huang family and the Qin family so well, which at least shows that she is also from a big family, but she came to live in the East Lake Inn, so she must not be from Nanxuan Mansion, maybe The daughter of a certain family near the state capital.

"I don't need to mention my identity, your cousin Madam Wan knows." Zhan Feiyu left a sentence, but was too lazy to waste any more words, and went directly into the yard with He Nuan and He Sheng.

Huang Li hated two people the most in her life: one was her husband, the third son of the Ming family, and the other was Mrs. Wan, the Qin family.

"Third Madam, there are still vacant rooms upstairs." The shopkeeper said respectfully. The small courtyard in front of him is definitely not good enough, but there are still many vacant rooms in the Donghu Inn, although they are not as pleasant as this one. The separate courtyard is much better than other inns.

"I want a cleaner room." Huang Li dropped the words in a cold voice, but walked the same way as when walking back and forth. If it was before, even if she was curious about Zhan Feiyu's identity, Huang Li would not go to see Qin Shi .

But today is different. Thinking of the Qin family becoming a widow now, Huang Li immediately showed a hearty smile, "Nurse, this person should accept his fate, and the one who laughs last is the winner."

The tens of thousands of houses used to be noisy with carriages and horses, just in response to the saying that there are great scholars in talking and laughing, and there are no white people in communication.

But today's Wanzhai is extremely desolate, with white lanterns shaking in the wind, the whole house is so quiet that no sound can be heard, and it looks more like a ghost house after nightfall.

"What is she here for?" In the Buddhist hall, Qin's seemingly delicate face showed a stern look, obviously loathing Huang Li's arrival, but now she has no right to reject people, "Nurse, go Wait, I'll be right over."

In the main hall where the guests were received, Huang Li sneered, and looked coldly at the respectful Nanny Hao, "My brother-in-law is buried in the ground, but my cousin's airs are the same as before. Does this mean you don't take me seriously?"

With a bang sound, Huang Li threw the teacup directly at Mammy Hao. Seeing the old slave swallowing his anger, she immediately felt relieved. After more than 20 years of being aggrieved, the bad breath finally came out.

A small cut was made on her forehead, and tea was splashed all over her head and face. No matter how good-tempered Hao Nanny was, she was angry at this moment, but she could only keep her head down, not daring to cause trouble for the Qin family.

"I remember Hao Hao, you used to be very good at talking, but now you are dumb? Or is it because Hao Hao, you don't think of me, Mrs. Ming San?" Huang Li asked sharply, Danfeng's eyes were burning with anger, obviously It's to settle old accounts.

"Third madam calm down, this old slave has absolutely no intention of doing that." With her head lowered, Mammy Hao could only bow down again and admit her mistake.

Snorting coldly, Huang Li glanced at Nanny Lu beside her, "Nurse, since this old servant doesn't know the rules, teach her well for me."

"Yes, ma'am." Nanny Lu responded immediately.

Masters have conflicts with masters, and slaves naturally have hatred between slaves. Before, they dared not speak out, but now that the west wind has overwhelmed the east wind, it is natural to revenge with hatred, and to revenge with resentment!
Stepping forward, Nanny Lu was stout and burly, with a handful of strength, while Nanny Hao who was opposite her was thin and thin. Because she had never been married in her life, Nanny Hao looked younger, although there were wrinkles on her face, But judging from the facial features, she was obviously much more beautiful when she was young.

"Sister Hao, you have always respected the rules. I didn't expect you to lose the rules when you are old, so let me teach you well." Nanny Lu smiled ferociously, and suddenly raised her hand and slapped Hao Nanny hard. Mammy's face.

The two maids standing in the corner were startled, but they didn't dare to step forward when they saw the aggressive Lu Mama. After all, Hao Mama didn't even dare to resist, let alone these little maids, who dared to be presumptuous.

When Mrs. Qin, who was wearing filial piety clothes, came over, Nanny Hao's face was already swollen from beatings, and her clothes were soaked and stained with tea leaves. At this moment, Mrs. Qin's face was a little fierce, but after entering the door, her expression changed. Back to normal again.

"Nurse, go down and treat the wound on your face." Sitting on the main seat, Qin Shi looked at the domineering Huang Li, "Cousin came to Wanzhai to show off her might and bully me, a widow? What are the rules of the Huang family?" I don't know, but the Ming family is also a scholarly family, the rules must be similar to the Qin family, does my cousin need me to ask the head of Ming Shan?"

"Cousin, that's all you have left now?" Huang Li giggled, fiddled with the red armor in her hand, "Cousin, you are a widow now, and your son is only four years old, why don't you know how to wear it?" What's the truth about being a human with a tail?"

Huang Li has no brains, but she is still the wife of the third son of the Ming Dynasty, and the Qin family now has nothing but Wan Yunhao's tablet.

There was a flash of anger in Qin's eyes, but the voice that came out was still soft and soft, "Cousin, my husband died tragically, but he still has his classmates and friends. Do you know that if today's incident gets out, you will definitely be detained by your brother-in-law?" Come to me to plead guilty. If I seek death unbearably, you, the chief culprit, will definitely be accused by thousands of people. With the family style of the Ming family, you must be the next wife!"

Qin's words were not alarmist. No matter how poor she is now, she can deal with Huang Li easily. After all, Huang Li has a bad reputation.

If the Qin family were more ruthless and took their children to "seek death", or let their daughter go to Qingya Academy to "knock to death" at the gate, Huang Li's fate would only be worse.

"You bitch!" Huang Li clenched her hands angrily. She has been like this since she was a child. She is the one who is being bullied, but everyone is blind, and they all favor Qin Qiong, that bitch!
Qin didn't intend to anger Huang Li, there's no need to waste his reputation for such a fool, it's enough to frighten people.

"Cousin, I have become a widow now, and I can no longer compete with you." Qin's expression dimmed, and after showing weakness, he said again: "But if you bully me again and again, it will only hurt both sides."

"Okay, Qin Qiong, save your shameless posture to deceive the men outside!" The words were vicious and ugly, and Huang Li asked directly, suppressing her anger: "I asked if you knew a fat girl. Seven or eight years old, the two servants around her should be brothers and sisters, she knows Zhang Zhifu, do you know which family it is from?"

Almost as soon as Huang Li described Qin, she thought of Zhan Feiyu. She lived in the inner house, and used to hold banquets and go out as guests, but the people she met were all the ladies in the inner house, and of course she also met many children.

But the Qin family knew each other, and Huang Li generally knew it too. After all, when it comes to identity, Huang Li is the third wife of the Ming family. They will all be given to Huang Li.

"Is the little girl you're talking about very fair-skinned, with especially big eyes..." Qin said about Zhan Feiyu's appearance in detail.

After seeing Huang Li nodding, Qin's eyes darkened slightly, and a feeling of uneasiness welled up in her heart. It's already March, what is Zhan Feiyu doing in Nanxuan Mansion?
"Which family is the girl from?" Huang Li asked dissatisfiedly. She couldn't get used to Qin's unrefined appearance. A great grievance.

Suppressing her uneasiness, Qin said, "She is called Zhan Feiyu, and she is not from a noble family. She was born in a farming family. She is the chief case in the Shangsi County Examination. Presumably, Master Mingshan should have mentioned it."

"That bitch who sent Sun Fu to prison?" The voice suddenly rose, and Huang Li's chest instantly ignited with anger.

Huang Li really didn't know about the county case. Chief Ming Shan was his father-in-law, and he didn't like her as his daughter-in-law.

But last year, Sun Fu was imprisoned, and the Sun family's business gradually declined. In addition to the heavy losses in the same family, Huang Li also lost a lot of money. She invested money in Sun Fu to open a shop. If it wasn't for the dowry, She probably couldn't even afford a set of hundreds of taels of jewelry now.

"It's her, cousin, and I will be like this for the rest of my life. I advise you not to provoke Zhan Feiyu. Although she is a country girl, she is also a guest of Zhang Zhifu. It is rumored that she is a teacher of Master Gu, Zhan Feiyu." You can't afford to mess with fish." With a few words of persuasion, Qin raised Zhan Feiyu high, and invisibly belittled Huang Li's status.

"Appreciate Gu Xueshi as a teacher? That means those idiots will believe it!" Huang Li sneered disdainfully. Although she didn't know as much about scholars as a bitch like Qin Qiong, she still knew about Gu Xueshi's reputation.

If you want to explain that the third son of the family is really a bohemian temperament, if you want to say that he is indeed talented, his talent for reading even surpasses the previous two elder brothers.

But the temper of the third son of Ming can make everyone in the Ming family mad. as a family.

I despise Huang Li as a vulgar wife, yes, he didn't divorce his wife, but he doesn't have sex with Huang Li anymore, and he doesn't have children, saying that he is afraid of giving birth to a child like Huang Li, which will ruin his reputation. title.

Kuangsheng Mingsan's reputation resounded across the river, he lived a chic and reckless life, and the old father Ming Shan didn't bother to care about it, of course he couldn't, but Huang Li was so angry that he almost vomited blood, her official wife's dream was completely shattered Well, can she not hate it?
There is only one regret in Mr. Ming's life: At the beginning, Huang Li pretended to be affectionate and thought that Ming San was talking about herself. After all, she did not meet Mr. Ming's criteria for marrying a wife. It was created to compete with the Qin family.

After the Qin family married Wan Yunhao, Huang Li, who had always refused to admit defeat, was also looking for a husband for herself. Wan Yunhao was talented and was admitted as a scholar at the age of 12, but he was born in a farming family and his family was poor. Yunhao's biggest shortcoming.

Huang Li didn't want to marry a poor man, and then she would have to use the dowry for her husband to study, so what if he passed the exam?A county magistrate of Qipin has a salary of several taels of silver.

Huang Li always wanted to overwhelm the Qin family, so she chose Ming San, the youngest son of Ming Shan. He was known as a child prodigy since he was a child, and he was admitted as a scholar at the age of eight, four years earlier than Wan Yunhao.

What's more important is that the third son Ming is worth a lot. The youngest son of the head of Qingya Academy has a wealthy family, and his mother also comes from a family of officials. Huang Li is also bold and bold. Hitting into the water, the method was clumsy, but the marriage between the two was settled.

And the most regrettable thing about Mr. Ming San is that he was not able to learn from Xueshi Gu. When he went to the capital, he exhausted all means and was so sincere that he almost broke his heart. Unfortunately, Xueshi Gu did not accept apprentices at all. Returned with regret, and then acted more bohemian.

So at this time, when Qin said that Zhan Feiyu was a teacher of Gu Xueshi, Huang Li scoffed. Ming San's talent and learning were not good, and a yellow-haired girl from a humble background could still learn from Gu Xueshi. She daydreamed that it would be faster.

Huang Li came and left quickly. Judging by her expression when she left, she must have settled with Zhan Feiyu.

"Mother, do you need to see the doctor for your face?" Qin asked softly, with concern and self-blame in her eyes. After all, if she hadn't had a long-standing grudge with her cousin, Huang Li, Huang Li wouldn't have slapped Hao Hao ma.

"Miss, the old slave has rough skin and thick flesh. After applying the medicine, there is nothing wrong with it." Hao Hao said with a smile, but it involved the wound on her cheek and hissed in pain.

Even after applying the best anti-swelling medicine, his face was swollen and purple, and it wouldn't heal within half a month.

Let Hao Hao sit down, Qin said worriedly: "Mother, Zhan Feiyu has come to Nanxuan Mansion."

"What?" Mother Hao was taken aback. She had gone out just now, so she didn't hear the conversation between Huang Li and Qin's. She couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Is it for the April government examination? But now there are more than one Yue, it's too early to come to Nanxuan Mansion now."

Qin also couldn't figure out the purpose of Zhan Feiyu's trip, but she had an ominous premonition that Zhan Feiyu might have come for her. Could it be because of Feng Er's death?

However, according to the news that Huang Bin sent back from Shangsi County, Feng Er's body had been buried on a barren hill outside Shangsi County. The official in charge of the burial did not burn the body to eliminate the evidence, but set up a tombstone for Feng Er.

Qin's original thinking was that Chen Weibin would definitely cover up Zhan Feiyu, and that would definitely destroy Feng Er's body, so that Boss Zhan could be exonerated, and once the county magistrate Chen did this, he would join the Qin family. trap.

In the future, Feng Er's death will be exposed, whether it's County Magistrate Chen or Zhan Feiyu, they can't clean it up by jumping into the Yellow River. If Feng Er just died of a heart attack, why did the government officials destroy the body?Isn't this just destroying corpses and destroying traces!
"Miss, the yamen didn't know that Huang Bin had drugged Feng Er's death. Even if they knew, it wouldn't be Zhan Feiyu who came to Nanxuan Mansion." Mother Hao was more inclined that Zhan Feiyu was for the government examination. Come to Nanxuan Mansion.

Even if Huang Bin was exposed, the young lady could not be found. Besides, this is a matter of the yamen, and the government examination is coming soon. How could Zhan Feiyu delay his study time because of the death of a thief.

"Nurse, you send someone to watch Huang Li, forget it, we'd better wait and see." Qin changed her mind again, but she didn't dare to act rashly.

It's like Huang Li dares to come to the door to bully the Qin family now. She is now a widow and has no value for the Qin family, so anyone dares to step on her.

No matter what Qin does now, she has to think twice before acting, because she can no longer afford the price of failure.

……

Linhu Xiaoxuan not only has a beautiful scenery, but is also very quiet. It is indeed the first choice for rest. Of course, the room rate is not cheap, it costs 50 taels of silver for ten days, and ordinary farmers only save 30 taels a year.

After Zhan Feiyu took a bath, he came back before he fell asleep, but before the two of them had spoken three words, there was noise outside the yard.

"Geng Butou, the little girl who lives here knows Mrs. Zhang." The shopkeeper hurriedly said, lest his movements be a little slow, Geng Butou rushed into the yard with someone and ran into the nobleman. Geng Butou could not escape the blame. It is estimated that the shopkeeper will also be fired by the boss.

"Shut up!" Geng Baotou was a black-faced strong man with an extremely violent temper. At this moment, he glared angrily, which directly frightened the shopkeeper, especially when he patted the saber on his waist.

The shopkeeper wants to kneel down, what's the matter!But it happened that Zhong Butou and Geng Butou, whom he had been friends with, were mortal enemies. They both worked in the government office, and they seemed to be at odds with each other on weekdays. Whenever they got the chance, they would kill each other. This is why Geng Butou did not give face to the shopkeeper s reason.

Zhongguang accurately threw the pear core into the fruit plate, and smiled at Zhan Feiyu who was yawning, "You are very good at getting into trouble. I have only been away for half an hour, and all the officials from the government have come to the door."

"People sit at home, and disasters come from the sky." Zhan Feiyu rolled his eyes speechlessly. This official was either called by Huang Li who had left, or by the Qin family. Officials who bully others seem to still have to get fame.

With a bang, the courtyard door was kicked open, and Geng Butou, who drove straight in, didn't dare to go too far. After all, if he really damaged the inn, he would have to pay for it.

Donghu Inn has a lot of background, he may not give face to the shopkeeper, but he can't break the law knowingly.

"Brigands broke into the door in broad daylight. They are wearing official uniforms, so they are safe?" Zhan Feiyu said with a smile, sitting on a chair and looking lazily at the three fierce yamen servants. Quiet but without the slightest hint of fear.

Geng Baotou was full of anger, and asked sharply, "Who just hurt someone maliciously? In broad daylight, you dared to commit crimes, and you didn't hand over the prisoner immediately!"

Chong Guang, who was sitting at the bottom, blinked at Zhan Feiyu, "This is just an official word. It is justified at the top and justified at the bottom. So what if you are arrested? The charges are all arranged."

"I heard that there was a stupid official in the previous dynasty, who committed crimes and harmed the world, and the people couldn't bear the suffering." Zhan Feiyu continued with a smile, "There is a poem that says: I got Yin Fozi first, and Wang Momo later. Tell people to chew the foam. When they see the money, they are happy, and they drink from the head without food. There are often hungry yakshas, ​​and the people can't live."

"Fat girl, I don't read much, so don't fool me, what you're talking about is also poetry?" Zhong Guang was suspicious.

Ever since Zhan Feiyu wrote three pieces of paper in a row with Gu Xue's morale in a doggerel and scolded her like a dog, Chongguang had serious doubts about Zhan Feiyu's poetry writing level.

"Why isn't this a poem? Besides, I didn't write it!" Zhan Feiyu looked at Chongguang contemptuously, seeing that he still didn't believe it, "Okay, then tomorrow you will follow me to visit Zhang Zhifu, and you will verify it face to face. "

Geng Butou was about to arrest people, but when Zhan Feiyu mentioned Zhang Zhifu, he hesitated for a while. Zhan Feiyu's calm and calm attitude made it difficult to distinguish the truth from the fake.

Zhong Guang snorted, his attitude seemed to be foolish, but his aura suddenly changed, and the hostility of the warrior made people fearful, "Aren't you going yet? Are you going to stay for dinner?"

Although he wanted to curry favor with Mrs. Ming San, Geng Butou didn't dare to offend Zhang Zhifu. After hesitating for a while, he could only cup his fists and apologize, "I just offended you so much, I hope Miss will forgive me a lot!"

Just leave?The anxious shopkeeper, who was sweating profusely, looked at Zhan Feiyu with great admiration. The daughter of a wealthy family was really extraordinary. Even though she didn't even reveal her identity, she scared Geng Butou away.

In the room, upon hearing Nanny Lu's reply, Huang Li smashed the cup in her hand angrily, stood up and said angrily, "The one named Geng just left like that? Is he a pig brain? Even a little sister-in-law can't handle it!"

"Madam, calm down." Nanny Lu hurriedly comforted Huang Li, who was furious. Geng Butou usually shows off his power, but it is also for ordinary people. If he really meets high-ranking officials, he will not dare to be aggressive.

"Useless stuff!" Stamping her feet angrily, Huang Li looked through the window at the small yard near the lake, wishing she could burn the house and Zhan Feiyu down with a torch, "Nurse, now a bitch The girl dares not show me face! In the end, it's not that Ming San doesn't want to take the imperial examination. If he is an official in the court, who would dare to treat me like this in Nanxuan Mansion!"

The shrill voice is full of anger and resentment. Huang Li has always wanted to be strong since she was a child, but she thinks she is married well, but Ming San has become a libertine, crazy all day long, if she hadn't divorced If she couldn't marry a good man, she would have left the Ming family long ago!
Panting heavily, Huang Li was sitting on the chair, and when her hideous and distorted face slowly returned to normal, Huang Li couldn't help but said: "Hasn't the old lady of the Zhang family revealed her words yet? She still wants to keep an old hen that can't lay eggs." When will it be!"

"Ma'am, even if you reveal your mother-in-law's identity, Mrs. Zhang is from the Kong family, and Zhang Zhifu disagrees, so Mrs. Zhang can't divorce her son for her son." Nanny Lu grimaced, even if Huang Li made troubles without reason, she had to Kind words to appease.

Moreover, based on Nanny Lu's understanding of Mrs. Zhang, she wanted Mrs. Zhang to divorce his wife and remarry, but there is still a cousin girl living in Zhang's mansion, and she has lived here for more than a year.

I'm afraid Mrs. Zhang wants her niece to marry Zhang Zhifu more than her own wife. After all, she is an innocent girl, but she is a little older because she is a widow.

Huang Li can't see hope in the third son of Ming, but she still wants to be an official wife, otherwise, when the elder Ming Shan dies, the Ming family will definitely split up. Can't keep it.

Thinking about whether he wants money or status in the future, Huang Li wishes he could remarry tomorrow!And Zhang Zhifu is the best candidate for remarriage selected by Huang Li.

The magistrate of the fourth rank, if he goes up a bit, he will be a senior member of the third rank!When I think of my future destiny, whether it is the Huang family or the Qin family, cousins, cousins, or those playmates before leaving the court, they will all salute to me, flattering me one by one, Huang Li can wake up with a smile in his dreams .

There were footsteps coming from outside the corridor, and Nanny Lu immediately got up and walked towards the door. After seeing the person coming, there was a flash of disdain in Nanny Lu's eyes, but she still saluted respectfully, "Mr. Chai, please come inside. "

In the room, upon hearing Nanny Lu's words, Huang Li, who was originally irritable and angry, swept away her anger, and instead smiled shyly like a little girl.

With a creak, the door was closed by Nanny Lu from the outside, and she didn't go far. This room is at the end of the corridor, so Nanny Lu stood guard at the stairs to ensure that no one would disturb the room. A man and a woman on a tryst.

"Chai Lang, you're here." Huang Li said with a smile, but her posture was still arrogant, her chin was raised slightly, like a spoiled little princess.

Mr. Chai wears a gentle and handsome man. Even the most common blue gown looks elegant on him, especially Mr. Chai has a fair complexion, and his smile is even more gentle and affectionate.

"I came over immediately when I received the letter from you." Chai Yi said loudly, standing beside Huang Li, raised her hand to smooth her loose hair behind her ear, and brushed her fingertips casually over Bai Nen's earlobe , Huang Li trembled slightly, causing Huang Li to shudder twice.

Huang Li originally waited for Chai Yi to come over to discuss the matter of earning money, but just now she was angry with Zhan Feiyu, so she didn't hide anything, and said the matter quickly, "It's a waste of your usual benefits to Geng , but it is useless at the critical moment.”

"Li'er, you said that little girl is called Zhan Feiyu?" Chai Yi was taken aback for a moment, seeing Huang Li's eyes were stern, and seemed to want to send someone to do it, so he hurriedly said, "Li'er, don't act rashly and don't mention her." Did she learn from Xueshi Gu, but she was the case leader in the Shangsi County Examination, fortunately Botou Geng didn't arrest anyone, otherwise it would be troublesome."

What kind of power does Geng Butou have? If he offends Zhan Feiyu, Zhang Zhifu will definitely hold him accountable, and Geng Butou's official uniform will probably be taken off.

"What is a county chief? Do I still want to let her go?" With a piercing voice, Huang Li glared at Chai Yi angrily, and slapped his outstretched hand away. The sharp nails scratched the back of Chai Yi's hand. However, there was a bloodstain, but Huang Li, who was so angry, didn't see it at all. Even if he saw it, he probably wouldn't care about it, after all, Chai Yi made her angry at the moment.

This ignorant idiot!Chai Yi almost vomited blood from anger, but for the sake of money, he had no choice but to comfort Huang Li in a good voice, until she calmed down, and then explained: "A yellow-haired girl is nothing, but Lier, you don't know, Zhang Zhifu I value Zhan Feiyu very much, offending her for no reason, it's hard for Zhang Zhifu to explain."

"What are you afraid of? This is the Nanxuan Mansion. You can find any ruffian here. As long as you don't show up, are you afraid that the Zhang Zhifu will investigate you?" The more she wanted to vent her anger, the more unwilling she was.

So what if there is no evidence?Zhang Chengli is the magistrate of Nanxuan, if he wants to touch someone, why does he need evidence!Sometimes Zhang Zhifu doesn't even need to do anything, as long as he hints, someone will definitely do it for him.

But Chai Yi couldn't tell the brainless Huang Li about these words. Apart from comparisons and playing tricks, Huang Li didn't understand at all.

Huang Li snorted coldly, looked at Chai Yi who was unmoved, and pushed him angrily, "What is Zhang Zhifu? You are the staff of the Chen family, and that is the eldest prince's natal family. How dare Zhang Zhifu If you touch you, then you won't give face to the Chen family, or to the First Prince!"

Huang Li has always wanted to reconcile, and she has two options for remarrying: one is Zhang Zhifu, and the other is Chai Yi, a childhood sweetheart.

But in the past, Chai Yi's family was poor and unlucky, and he failed the provincial examination repeatedly. Naturally, Huang Li would not marry him to endure hardship. But now, Chai Yi has become Master Chen's staff, which is not bad for money, but his status is too high. Low, Huang Li is still unwilling to marry.

Not wanting to continue this topic, it would be a waste of words to say more, Chai Yi hugged Huang Li's shoulder softly and said a few words of comfort, then changed the subject, "How did you check the Beauty Makeup? Is it really related to Prince Yu's Mansion?"

Sun Fu was arrested by Chen Weibin and sent to prison for beating the teaching instruction and other sentient beings at the gate of the county school. At that time, the business of the Sun family in Nanxuan Mansion was affected, but the same mansion was still there at that time, and Sun Fu also As a brother-in-law of the same acquaintance, we dare not go too far if we don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face.

But later, with the arrest of Tongzhi, the Sun family's business completely collapsed. Among them, Huang Li and Chai Yi also lost their money. The two are now eyeing the beauty makeup that is making money every day.

"That bitch surnamed Liu really doesn't know what to do!" Huang Li gritted her teeth and squeezed out the words. She lost money, but seeing the beauty makeup business making money, the jealous anger can be imagined.

It's not that no one has ever thought about beauty makeup, after all, it's just a makeup shop, and it's newly opened, and the shopkeeper is a woman who has established a female household, so everyone should look down on it.

There are even malicious people who want to gain both money and money. After all, shopkeeper Liu is pretty enough, different from the gentleness and virtuousness of ordinary women, but her valiant and heroic demeanor also has a special flavor.

It's a pity that all the people who came up with the idea of ​​beauty make-up all failed. At least they were reprimanded, and at worst they were sent to the government office to be fined with money and boarded. into prison.

After inquiring about it, the merchants of Nanxuan Mansion found out that the owner behind this beauty makeup is Prince Yu's Mansion!

But there are also people who don't believe that Prince Yu's Mansion has kept a low profile for many years, and they have never heard of the cosmetics business in the Palace. Maybe it's the shopkeeper Liu himself who made the rumors.

"Don't think about it. I wrote to ask my sister-in-law. It is indeed related to Prince Yu's Mansion, but I don't know what is the relationship. After all, my brother is just a sixth-rank official of the Imperial Academy. My sister-in-law is beautiful on the surface, but in fact she is also a small official. That's it." Huang Li scoffed disdainfully, obviously she didn't like the sister-in-law who always put on airs, and even the eldest son of the Ming family despised her.

It is said that being an official in the court is only a sixth rank, so what is there to be ashamed of, if she marries Zhang Zhifu again, she will be a fourth rank!

Is the sixth-rank organ of the Hanlin Academy an ordinary sixth-rank?Non-Hanlin will not join the cabinet!But Chai Yi didn't bother to talk about this with Huang Li, but his face became more serious, and it was related to Prince Yu's mansion, so all his previous plans would be in vain.

After all, Huang Li was reluctant to part with the money, after all, she could only rely on the dowry, but she was not good at management, the business of several dowry shops was getting worse and worse, and the money she earned was almost not enough for her to spend.

"So what if it has something to do with Prince Yu's Mansion? We can't move, there is still the Chen family, you just need to fan the flames, and you are afraid that the Chen family will not take the bait. Then you find a way to get the prescription of Xiangpanzi, and I still have a few. It’s a shop, why don’t I do this business when the time comes.”

Huang Li was smarter, and wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone! "Chen Fatty doesn't like older and beautiful women the most, and the bitch surnamed Liu is not the right one!"

Chai Yi hesitated for a moment. After all, he also fell in love with Shopkeeper Liu, or perhaps because of Shopkeeper Liu's beauty makeup shop, and she has opened beauty makeup branches in several neighboring state capitals. Marrying shopkeeper Liu is no less than marrying a golden baby.

"It's still Li'er, you're smart, I'll go back and make arrangements." Chai Yi smiled and praised, seeing Huang Li's chin proudly raised, almost rolled his eyes, he was so stupid that he didn't know how the Huang family raised their daughter.

No wonder Ming San didn't want to have a child, as a mother is so stupid, the child born here is probably not very smart!
……

After wandering around the market in Nanxuan Mansion, Zhan Feiyu asked in a low voice, "No one is following you?"

"Yes, except for the two ruffians at the beginning, no one else followed." He Nuan replied. The two ruffians probably thought that they and Miss were two weak women, so they wanted to follow up and take advantage of it. A little cheap.

However, after He Nuan kicked away a small thief who wanted to steal the money bag, the two hooligans quickly slipped away after being shocked, probably because they were worried that they would be beaten up instead of taking advantage of it.

"It seems that the Qin family is more calm than I thought." Zhan Feiyu nodded, but he was not disappointed. After all, Chongguang had already gone to investigate the Huang family in Xinglin, especially the second room of the Huang family. He wanted to see ten Who kneaded the ginseng Rongyang pills for Tan Min years ago.

Looking around at the bustling market, Zhan Feiyu said with a smile: "Let's go to the beauty makeup, Ah Nuan, if you like something, just tell me, your lady is not short of money now."

The exclusive secret recipe is tantamount to monopolizing the market. Fragrant pancakes are selling very well now, and the profits are rolling in. Zhan Feiyu is really not short of money now.

"Thank you, miss." He Nuan was amused by Zhan Feiyu's rich and powerful appearance. Normally, he watched the lady read and write, she was a calm and sensible person, but now she looked a bit childish.

At the intersection of the most prosperous intersection in Nanxuan Mansion, there is a beauty makeup shop here.

In addition to cosmetics, the hottest selling products are naturally fragrant soaps of various prices, especially those packed in gift boxes, ten taels of silver per box, and more than ten or twenty boxes can be sold every day.

"Miss, why did you come to Nanxuan Mansion?" Liu Ye once met Zhan Feiyu once.

The decoration of the beauty makeup shop is still based on Zhan Feiyu's design. If you want to say admiration, Liu Ye really admires Zhan Feiyu. He is young, but his brain is too smart.
