I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 258
Looking at Yang Xu who was about to leave after picking up the wooden basin, Zhang Yiyi was confident that he could eliminate Yang Xu's repulsion and hostility step by step if he had enough time.

Just an eight-year-old child, Zhang Yiyi was able to gain a foothold in the Zhenbian Hou's Mansion without any lack of scheming and means.

But now what she lacks is time, once the censor in the court impeaches Lord Hou, maybe the Holy Majesty will take this opportunity to make a big fuss and punish Lord Hou severely, and Zhenbianhou is Zhang Yiyi's reliance, she must not let the Hou family have trouble.

"Xu'er." Looking at Yang Xu and Zhan Feiyu who were leaving, Zhang Yiyi choked up and shouted, and chased two steps forward, but accidentally fell to the solid ground with a thud.

"Ah?" Daniu and Dahua exclaimed, they ate such a delicious pastry just now, seeing Zhang Yiyi who fell down, the children became anxious.

"Yang Xu, your mother fell down." Daniel shouted even more anxiously.

"Madam!" Lian Er hurried forward and helped her up, "Madam, your hand is bleeding."

Hearing the movement behind him, Yang Xu paused, worry quickly flashed across his dark and immature face, and then strode forward with a sullen face, as fast as if there were evil spirits chasing after him.

There were bleeding marks on the white and delicate palms. Zhang Yiyi, who was helped up by the maid, looked at Yang Xu who had turned into the village in the blink of an eye. Annoyance flashed in his lowered eyes. This child was more beautiful than she imagined. Be ruthless, as expected of the Yang family, they are all so stubborn!

Seeing Yang Xu who was also gone, Zhan Feiyu stopped. Well, she should wait for Yang Xu to buy tofu and come back.

"Little girl, your name seems to be Xiao Yu?" Zhang Yiyi ignored her bloody hands, winked at Lian'er, and walked towards Zhan Feiyu.

Looking at the wild children who were driven away by the maid, Zhang Yiyi continued: "I was presumptuous before, but I am Xu'er's mother, and I just want to make up for him too much. You are a good girl, and Xu'er is also a good girl." Child, if you marry Xu'er in the future, he will definitely take good care of you, the Yang family can only accept concubines if they are forty and childless."

Raising his eyes, Zhan Feiyu suddenly looked at Zhang Yiyi who was in trouble, and suddenly laughed, like the sun in the sky, bright and bright, "Since the Yang family is so good, why did Madam abandon her husband and son?" With a town borderer who is older than my father, poor and lowly couples are sad, madam, don't do to others what you don't want to be done to others."

The guards, maids, and mothers-in-law of the Zhenbianhou's mansion all looked at their noses and noses, and they didn't even hear Zhan Feiyu's shocking words.

What reluctance can there be?It's just greed for glory and wealth.

Instead of being angry, Zhang Yiyi laughed, "You are right, Xu'er is indeed the son of a criminal minister, and she is not worthy of you in terms of status, but you forgot that he still has my mother. In the future, I will have the Marquis House Help, Xu'er's future is beyond your imagination."

"Little girl, you are smarter than I thought, but your birth is your prison, so what if you are educated and reasonable? If you want to marry into an official family, you can only be a concubine, or you can marry a concubine, But there are aunts and sons above, once the family is separated, the bastard will almost be swept out of the house, want to take advantage of it? You see which aunt will make the bastard flourish, so you marry Xu'er is the best choice."

Even in the Daqing Dynasty, the folk customs were open, but there were still strict rules in the area of ​​concubine and concubines. The concubines inherited [-]% of the family property, and the remaining concubines could only share [-]%. Even if the elders secretly subsidized it, it was still a drop in the bucket.

Compared with the family property, the biggest advantage of the son-in-law lies in his connections. He has received the best teaching since he was a child, and all the resources of the family are used to cultivate the son-in-law. As for the son-in-law, there is no right time, place and people. It is really difficult to get ahead .

"What nonsense are you talking about?" An angry voice sounded, and Yang Xu, who was carrying half a bowl of tofu, rushed over, glanced at Zhang Yiyi, and then glared at Zhan Feiyu, "Come back with me!"

He had never felt so ashamed before, and Yang Xu strode forward.

"Ma'am, let's go first." Zhan Feiyu followed Yang Xu slowly, still holding the hand stove.

Liu Ye frowned, Zhang Yiyi found for the first time that the two half-old children were more troublesome than those women in the Hou's mansion.

It's okay for Yang Xu not to understand human speech, but this little girl is obviously smart and transparent, but she is also stubborn, which makes Zhang Yiyi's complexion even more ugly.

"Ma'am, that little girl has narrow eyesight and doesn't understand Madam's good intentions at all." Lian'er sensed Zhang Yiyi's anger, and hurriedly said a few words, "Why don't Madam send someone to her home to propose a marriage, and want to visit her parents and seniors?" Absolutely dare not refuse marriage.”

Just when Lian'er thought Madam would not speak anymore, her delicate voice sounded, "No, she understands, she just doesn't like the conditions I gave."

Zhang Yiyi had been observing at the same time as she spoke just now, no matter what she said, the little girl's complexion didn't fluctuate at all, which showed that she wasn't moved at all.

That's right, after all, she was still young and was raised by her family, so she didn't know the importance of power!Back then, I didn't think clearly, so I married Yang Shoucheng.

After thinking about it, Zhang Yiyi raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, but compared to Zhan Feiyu's bright smile, Zhang Yiyi's smile was gentle and elegant, but her eyes were cold and frightening.

"Take the token of the Hou Mansion and go to Xiangwu County, and say that my wife lost something in the ruined temple, and the thief..." Zhang Yiyi didn't need to say the rest, the people from the Hou Mansion went to report to the officials, the county Ling knows what to do as long as he is not stupid.

……

After walking briskly for a while, Yang Xu finally turned his head and looked at Zhan Feiyu who was far behind. After hesitating for a moment, he stood still and waited.

After a long while, looking at Zhan Feiyu who finally walked over, Yang Xu apologized with a sullen face, "Just pretend you haven't heard what she said."

Gu Xueshi's disciple, she is not worthy of her status even if there was no accident in the general's mansion back then, not to mention that the current general's mansion is still charged with collaborating with the enemy and treason.

"Okay." Zhan Feiyu answered crisply, which made Yang Xu heave a sigh of relief.

After hesitating for a while, Yang Xu asked again, "Can you not tell my father and grandfather."

"Yes." Zhan Feiyu agreed again.

At noon, He Nuan was still in charge of the spoon. The delicious dishes made the grandsons of the Yang family feel that what they had eaten in the past few years was all pig food. How could the taste of the same food be so different.

The colder the weather, the less fresh fruit there is. Fortunately, He Nuan dried the dried fruit in the summer and boiled it in a teapot for a quarter of an hour. The air smelled sweet and fruity.

"Green Ant's new fermented wine, small red clay stove. When it comes to me, it will become fruit tea." Zhan Feiyu joked with a smile, and hurriedly said: "Ah Nuan, add more sugar, non-sweet fruit tea is astringent taste."

"I added longan and red dates." Although He Nuan was usually mild and gentle, he would not indulge Zhan Feiyu when it came to principles.

"Okay..." As soon as the words fell, Zhan Feiyu couldn't help laughing at the sudden sound of footsteps outside, which was quite fast.

He Nuan fiddled with the charcoal fire methodically, then stood up, "Miss, I'll go out and have a look."

The folk customs of Xiangwu County are tough, so the policemen who rushed to the yard were also tall and burly, wearing police uniforms and holding sabers, each of them was vicious, and they were more vicious than the policemen of Nanxuan Mansion and Huai'an Mansion. There is more evil spirit.

He Nuan closed the door behind her backhand, glanced at the unfriendly policemen who came, but didn't say anything, just guarding outside Zhan Feiyu's door.

In the main room, General Yang and Yang Shoucheng, who were teaching Yang Xu the art of war, also came out.

"You guys trespassed on private houses, I don't know who violated the laws of Daqing?" Old General Yang stood at the entrance of the main room with a golden sword on his horse. Everything is for the little ones.

"Yang Shoucheng!" The head catcher stepped forward. Hearing this yin and yang voice, he knew that he had a feud with the grandparents and grandchildren of the Yang family. He couldn't find a way to take revenge before, but now that it fell into his hands, it was naturally a new and old grudge. count together.

Yang Shoucheng's cold voice sounded, and there was no trace of anger on his resolute and square face, "Bootou Luo."

Luo Butou entered the Xiangwu County Yamen and started as a fast catcher. Ten years later, he became a catcher. He had trained with a martial artist in his early years, and he was born tall and strong, so he could be said to be a figure in Xiangwu County.

It's a pity that Luo Tutou's family gave birth to five daughters in succession. He bought two concubines, but gave birth to two more daughters. If there were no sons to take care of them, the Luo family would die.

In the end, Luo Butou could only adopt his nephew Luo Xiaohu. With Luo Butou as his father, Luo Xiaohu became the bully of Xiangwu County at the age of seven or eight. .

The gangsters on the street called Luo Xiaohu brothers, and he worked hand in hand with those dandies in the county town. What happened, and Luo Xiaohu was caught by the police, and Luo Xiaohu and others once caused no young and beautiful girls in Xiangwu County to dare to be alone. take to the streets.

In Luo Xiaohu's year, Luo Butou found him the only daughter of the owner of the Nanbei shop in the county, but who would have thought that Luo Xiaohu would be molested by Baozi Xi Shi in the alley, and Yang Shoucheng would run into him.

Luo Xiaohu was also unlucky. Although Yang Shoucheng beat him up, he didn't hit him hard. Who knew that when Luo Xiaohu got up, he fell for some reason and knocked himself out.

After nightfall, the weather in December was like freezing, and no one knew that there was someone lying in the alley. The Luo family thought that Luo Xiaohu was hanging out with his friends again and sleeping outside.
When Luo Xiaohu was found the next day and sent to the hospital, who would have thought that he would be fine, but his sons and grandchildren were abolished.

At first Luo Butou thought it was Yang Shoucheng who abolished Luo Xiaohu's descendants, but Luo Xiaohu also told the truth after waking up. In addition, he had a grudge with Luo Xiaohu, so Luo Xiaohu was abolished.

The culprit could not be found, so Luo Butou and Luo Xiaohu naturally turned their anger on Yang Shoucheng. If he hadn't hit Luo Xiaohu first, everything that followed would not have happened.

Luo Butou first came to arrest people with his arrester, but unfortunately Luo Xiaohu molested Baozi Xi Shi first, Yang Shoucheng acted righteously, without fault, and more importantly, the grandparents of the Yang family were protected by the old man alone, don't look at this weird old man , but he is a great Confucian who even the magistrate wants to curry favor with.

It was obvious that he couldn't take revenge, so Catcher Luo could only come secretly. Unfortunately, none of the grandparents and grandchildren of the Yang family were good enemies. Even Yang Xu had the ability to protect himself, and the scoundrels sent by Catcher Luo were beaten up.

Later, Luo Tutou spent a lot of money to hire experts from Fucheng, but they still failed to return, and they were abolished by the Yang family. The other party extorted 500 taels of silver from Luo Tutou.

Not only could the Luo family not be able to take revenge, but they also emptied half of their family property. In the end, the revenge could only be left here.

"As the saying goes, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. Yang Shoucheng, you didn't expect that one day it would fall into my hands, right?" Squeezing the words between his teeth, Luo Butou didn't hide the malice on his face, and laughed viciously. Said: "If you knelt down and begged for mercy, maybe I can still hold my hand high and leave a single seedling for your Yang family!"

Although Huluo Pingyang was bullied by dogs, even if the Yang family is a guilty minister, they still need comrades in the army, and there is also Gu Xueshi in the court. A small headhunter in Xiangwu County wants to bully the grandparents and grandchildren of the Yang family, it is simply whimsical.

"Since Butou Luo brought someone to the door, what crime did our father and son commit?" Old General Yang asked loudly, knowing in his heart that Zhang Yiyi must not give up.

As soon as the weather got cold, the villagers of Shitou Village didn’t go out of the village except to go to the mountain to collect some firewood, or to try their luck, saying that they would be able to get a rabbit back for a tooth sacrifice. This was especially true for the Yang family and his son. It would be difficult for them to commit crimes if they came to the village, let alone Xiangwu County.

Old General Yang was somewhat curious about what excuse Zhang Yiyi or the Marquis of Zhenbian planned to use to deal with them.

The Yang family and his son are really hard-headed, but unfortunately, they hit the iron plate this time!

Catcher Luo grinned grimly, "A nobleman went to the yamen to report the case. In a dilapidated temple thirty miles away from the county seat, a thief stole the nobleman's 1000 taels of silver notes and a gold-threaded eight-treasure hairpin. Investigate, these thieves are far away in the sky, and this arrester suspects that you, the three grandparents of the Yang family and the thieves are in the same gang!"

He Nuan and He Sheng, who had been hiding from the rain all night in the ruined temple, looked at each other. This excuse was so clumsy that people couldn't be bothered to give it up.

"Search for this arrester! Anyone who dares to stop the yamen from handling the case will be arrested and brought to justice immediately!" Luo catcher shouted angrily, and threw the shackles in his hands on the ground with a bang, the threat was self-evident.

Outside the courtyard, villagers who had heard the news were already standing there. They didn't have much contact with the Yang family on weekdays, but after getting along with each other for a few years, they also knew what kind of people the Yang family's grandparents were. Calling them thieves would be a crime.

"Father?" The sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy looked anxiously at the arrester who was about to attack. Everyone in Xiangwu County and the surrounding villages applauded what happened to Luo Xiaohu last year, and they all thanked Yang Shoucheng for teaching him a lesson. Otherwise, no sisters in the family would dare to go out.

"Let's have a look first before we talk." Village Zheng replied, but his face was solemn. So what if Luo Bowen avenged his personal revenge, he clearly came prepared, "Little San, you go to the county town on horseback."

A young man in his twenties next to him nodded, exited calmly, and then quickly ran to the village, intending to take the horse from the village's main house and immediately go to the county to report the news. The Yang family and his son also have backers behind them.
