I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 42
"Ha!" Madam Zhan gave a hoarse sneer and sat up with her last strength, "Boss, you are good and filial, but look at your daughter, she has become a lonely kid after reading for a few days. temper."

After saying a few words, Mrs. Zhan was exhausted and gasped, staring at Zhan Feiyu with gloomy eyes, "This time she offended Zhu Dizhu's family, and almost caused the third child to be beaten to death, and she will continue in the future. Read on, offend those nobles, is our old Zhan family going to take our lives in!"

Boss Zhan's face turned pale. When he was a teenager, he once went to the county with his companions. He saw with his own eyes that a passerby who had offended the noble was beaten to death by the other side's servant in the street.

The shrill and painful screams, the dead face, and the blood in that place, Boss Zhan woke up from a nightmare for half a month in a row.

"Then Xiaoyu, don't study!" Ma screamed, lest the third Zhan would be killed by his niece.

"Mother, Xiaoyu doesn't read anymore." Boss Zhan assured with a firm attitude.

Before, Mr. Zhan felt sorry for his daughter, but now he and Mrs. Zhan are of one mind. It is good to marry An An Shengsheng who does not study. This is how the girls in the village lived.

Madam Zhan's turbid eyes flashed quickly with pride, and she looked at Boss Zhan with a look of relief, "Third, help your eldest brother up, don't let the cold enter your body, I just gave birth to your eldest brother and suffered from the cold back then, now the sky It hurts all over the body when it's cold."

After Mr. Zhan pulled Mr. Zhan up, Mrs. Zhan looked at Mrs. Li and Mr. Zhan Feiyu in the corner, " Mrs. Li, the boss is the master of the house, if you don't want to, I will ask the boss to write to you. He Lishu, you take the dowry away, but Xiaoyu is the eldest child and must stay in my Zhan house, if you are not convinced, let your eldest brother and the head of the Li family come!"

Marrying from the husband, even if the husband and wife are divorced, the child belongs to the man. Of course, there are some in-laws who don't want to have children, but Mrs. Zhan is determined to keep Zhan Feiyu, so it is impossible for the Li family to take her away.

Li's eyes fixed on the silent boss Zhan. Seeing that he didn't say a word, he only felt that his heart fell into an ice hole. This is the man she married!He and Xiaoyu can't compare to his mother together.

Mrs. Zhan was trying to get out of bed, when she saw Boss Zhan coming over and hugging him and crying, "Boss, there's nothing you can do, mother. With Xiaoyu's temperament, she will really kill people in the future. If you want to blame it, blame the mother for being cruel, the mother can't give black-haired people to white-haired people."

"If the villagers want to scold me, they will scold me. It's me who can't let Xiaoyu go to the private school! You are a filial child!" Madam Zhan couldn't help herself from crying, and closed her eyes to hide the coldness in her eyes.

"Mother, don't cry, I know I know." Boss Zhan nodded straight, his wife and daughter have complained about him these two days, and even the third child doesn't like to see him.

At today's banquet, the villagers also told Xiaoyu to study, saying that he, the father, couldn't harm his daughter, and the boss of Zhan was so aggrieved, but only the mother knew the helplessness and pain in her heart.

Zhan's second child glared at the smug little Yao, and warned her to restrain herself, even if she wanted to be happy, she should go back to the house.

Third Zhan helplessly looked at his mother and eldest brother who were hugging and crying together. Xiaoyu was just reading a book, not murder and arson. Mother and eldest brother could think too much.

It was rare for Mrs. Ma to be smart, and he twisted the arm of the third Zhan, and said in a low voice, "Think about Erlang!"

I said before that Erlang would go to the private school instead of Zhan Feiyu. Ma could remember Erlang's happy appearance and could not go to the private school. Those wild children in the village laughed at Erlang.

The third Zhan opened his mouth, no matter how much he loves his niece, he cares more about his own son. Besides, the eldest brother agreed with the mother, and the third Zhan didn't know what to say.

"Mother, don't be noisy." Pulling Mr. Li's hand, Zhan Feiyu looked at the scene in front of him as if he was watching a farce.

Her own memory is that she was in Zhan's house, when she was a baby in swaddling clothes, seven years was neither long nor short. Although Zhan Feiyu couldn't treat the Zhan family as her family, she still had feelings, but at this moment, The bond seemed to be cut off.

"Enough, Xiaoyu continues to study at the private school!" When old man Zhan said this, everyone was stunned, and looked back at old man Zhan who was sitting on the stool smoking a pipe. Dad/grandpa didn't care, Why did you suddenly hold back a big move.

He slapped the pipe on the table, and the old man Zhan cursed angrily: "What are you looking at? I told Xiaoyu to continue reading, and whoever makes a fuss will get out of Zhan's house!"

In fact, from the very beginning, old man Zhan supported Zhan Feiyu's study, and he would have more face when he went out. When Xiaoyu gets a title in the future, he is the grandfather of a female scholar. He doesn't want to be the village leader, but he can still fight for the position of the patriarch.

But old lady Zhan wiped her neck with a kitchen knife, and the second child also analyzed the drawbacks of Xiaoyu continuing to study. Old man Zhan was too lazy to theory and acquiesced, but he was beaten by the old patriarch today, and old man Zhan had to show the courage of being a family member. .

"Dad, have you been drinking too much tonight?" Xiao Yao squinted at Old Man Zhan, and pouted in annoyance, "How can you talk nonsense."

Ma also nodded in agreement, Dad must be old and confused, no wonder the mother-in-law has always been in charge!
The despised old man Zhan stood up, pointed angrily at his two daughters-in-law, and roared furiously, "They are all dumb-eyed bastards, you don't let Xiaoyu study, the clan and the village are happy. !"

"That is, if there is a scholar, the villagers will be able to straighten their backs when they go out." The third Zhan smiled, the guilt and frustration finally disappeared, and he patted Zhan Feiyu on the shoulder encouragingly, " Uncle is still waiting for your light."

"Xiaoyu, go to the old patriarch to kowtow when you leave school tomorrow." Mrs. Li smiled warmly, looking at the ugly old lady Zhan, she only felt extremely happy.

"Mother, I understand, I'm going back to study." Zhan Feiyu responded obediently, and said hello to the old man Zhan and the third son of Zhan, and went back to the house with Mrs. Li.

Madam Zhan was almost inhaled by the anger of the mother and daughter, her wrinkled old face twisted ferociously, and said sternly, "This is our family's business, why should the clan care!"

The old man Zhan ignored the trembling old woman Zhan. She was a mother-in-law who could divorce her daughter-in-law, and her family could also divorce an old woman, even if her eldest grandson was in her teens.

In the bedroom, a lamp is like a bean.

Meng Yizi asked about filial piety.The Master said, "No violation."

Fan Chi was in control, and his son told him, "Meng Sun asked me to be filial, but I said 'no violation'."

The crisp recitation stopped abruptly, and after a while, the recitation continued, and Fan Chi said, "What is it?"

The Master said, "In life, we should do things with rites; in death, we should be buried with rites and sacrifices with rites."

How to practice filial piety?It does not violate the etiquette. Parents should serve with etiquette when they are alive. Zhan Feiyu laughed at himself, and he may be a rude person who violates the teachings of Confucius and Mencius.

……

The night passed in a flash, and the Zhan family hadn't slept well except for a few children. Now that the patriarch had spoken, Zhan Feiyu stepped on the light of the morning sun and walked towards the private school step by step.

When he saw Master Lin in a green shirt standing in front of the door, Zhan Feiyu quickened his pace a bit, "Master."

"The Master said: A gentleman is knowledgeable in writing, and if he agrees with him with etiquette, he will be able to accompany his husband. What's the solution?"

Zhan Feiyu was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood why the Master was testing himself. His clear voice was gentle and quiet, "Confucius said that a gentleman needs to study a wide range of classics, and he must restrain himself with etiquette, and must not deviate from the classics."

Deviating from the classics is a taboo in the imperial examinations!If it is a hidden scholar, it will be fine, a Meng child who has been studying for less than three months, dares to disturb the house, and the grandmother is ill!Right or wrong, it's only Zhan Feiyu's reputation that drags down in the end.

"A gentleman tolerates what others can't tolerate, tolerates what others can't tolerate, and treats what others can't handle. When did you figure out when to come in!" After finishing speaking, Master Lin turned around and entered the courtyard, while Zhan Feiyu was punished to stand outside the door .
