I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 65

"Grandpa, don't worry, there will be nothing wrong with the trip to the Zeng family." Zhan Feiyu assured that he was related to Yumian Langjun, and was targeted by Jinlongwei, and he would never be the unlucky one.

The old patriarch looked at Zhan Feiyu with a calm face. Although he wanted to believe it, he couldn't let go of his heart when he thought of the domineering and ruthless behavior of the Zeng family in Baofeng Buzhuang.

"I'll take a few young men from the clan and let them go to the county town in batches and stay around the Zeng's house just in case." The village is aware of the worries of the old patriarch. Xiaoyu is the hope of the Zhan clan to change the lintel. There can be no surprises.

The old patriarch and the village leader began to discuss who to take with him, who should be strong and flexible.

Living in the modern age in her last life, she never felt the importance of the clan, until now, seeing the old patriarch and the others planning for themselves, Zhan Feiyu was moved.

Bringing two cups of hot water from the kitchen, Zhan Feiyu looked at the old patriarch and village Zheng who had negotiated, "Grandpa, I have an unkind request."

Drinking water to moisten his throat, the old patriarch looked at Zhan Feiyu curiously, "Tell me about it."

"Although my father has been excommunicated, I hope to keep him for a few more days, and I will decide when I come back from Zeng's house." Zhan Feiyu thought of the filial eldest Zhan, and regarded it as his last filial piety.

The old patriarch pondered for a long time, and agreed with a look of relief, "You are a filial piety, but your father is only filial. Now that the clan is removed, I remember that there is still a dilapidated house in the village, so let your father move in and live there first. ."

Boss Zhan is removed from his clan, he is not the son of old man and old lady Zhan, or even a member of the Zhan clan. He crossed out his name from the genealogy, and then went to the county government to report for the record. Even better than those refugees.

"Thank you grandfather." Zhan Feiyu squinted and smiled, hiding the calculation in his eyes.

Everything that needs to be said has been said. After Zhan Feiyu sent the old patriarch and the village Zheng away, as soon as he looked up, he saw the little Yao Shi carrying two huge burdens on the dirt road.

"Yo, this is our little prodigy!" After walking for more than half an hour, still carrying two big burdens, Xiao Yao's tiredness is so exhausting that when he sees Zhan Feiyu, his resentment will surge. come up.

"I don't even want my own father in order to study. I have never seen such a wolf-hearted little beast. Your father's raising you for so many years is worse than raising a dog!"

Zhan Feiyu didn't intend to pay attention to Xiao Yao Shi. Even if she was adopted, she would be considered an elder, but looking at her face with her nose on her face, if she didn't fight back, she was afraid that she would come to him every once in a while.

"Cousin-in-law." One of the benefits of adoption is that the seniority has been raised.

Zhan Feiyu smiled and looked at the little Yao Shi with a stiff expression, and continued in a crisp voice: "Second cousin is going to be excommunicated, you immediately packed up and returned to your mother's house. In less than three days, you will find a widower to remarry, or even Ignore Dalang Saburo's two children."

Zhan Feiyu glanced at the women who came back from washing clothes by the river, his smiling expression suddenly turned serious and indifferent, and asked sharply, "You are such a selfish and shameless person who is unfaithful to her husband, unkind to children, and selfish. I have a face to live, I am sitting upright, what am I afraid of!"

Heli's remarriage is just a strategy that the second son of Zhan came up with for the little Yao Shi. It was an emotional card to make the old man relent. In the end, the second son of Zhan resigned, but the notoriety fell on the little Yao Shi.

"You...I..." Xiao Yaoshi wanted to explain, but couldn't tell the truth.

Looking at Zhan Feiyu, a little girl dared to point at her nose and scold her, Xiao Yao's cranial nerve snapped, and as soon as she lost the bag in her hand, she rushed towards Zhan Feiyu, "What kind of thing are you? Dare to scold me too! See if I don't tear your mouth apart!"

His face was a bit grim, Xiao Yao wanted to take the opportunity to grab Hua Zhanfeiyu's face, but Da Lang said that if he had a scar on his face, he couldn't take the imperial examination!
She had a trouble with Li before, but the Yao family supported her, but the people in Yaojia Village scolded her behind her back for being disrespectful to women, calling her shameless, and if a man had an accident, he would remarry Li, which was clearly unstoppable!
Since ancient times, only those who are obscene and humble have been like this, and they can't live without men.

"What are you doing?" Shan Wazi's mother rushed over and swung the mallet directly at Xiao Yao, "If you dare to do it, I won't beat you to death today!"

The fat aunt also came over and looked at the little Yao Shi who was scornful, "Even if Zhan's second child is eliminated, you can't stay with your two children, if you can't wait for a day, you will remarry, and now you have the face to come back! "

Shanwazi protected Zhan Feiyu behind her, and said with a sneer, "your mother-in-law is most partial to your second room, raising a family of white-eyed wolves."

The second house of the Zhan family has a bad reputation in the village: the second son of Zhan almost killed Mrs. Zeng with the money, the little Yao family made a fuss and remarried, and the two children of Dalang and Sanlang knelt for their father. Forcing the uncle, there is no good thing in this family!

He couldn't scold or beat him again, Xiao Yao Shi was shaking with anger, so he could only pick up the burden and run away in a murmur of scolding.

"Thank you aunties for your help." Zhan Feiyu sincerely thanked him. Although the people in the village were illiterate, they all had an account in their hearts, and they knew who was good and who was bad.

"It's a different generation." When Shanwaziniang spoke, several aunts also laughed heartily. Indeed, Xiaoyu, who took over, was of the same generation as them.

Zhan Feiyu wiped his nose and smiled embarrassedly. This cute and innocent appearance made several aunties happy. The old Zhan family is really blind, such a good girl was adopted .

After running back to Zhan's house, Xiao Yao threw the burden on the chair, tears of anger flowing out, "Master, you don't know how ugly those people are, how can I go out in the future!"

"The people in the village have broken mouths, don't bother with those shrews, it will be fine after a while." Second Zhan took Xiao Yao's hand and pressed him to the side of the bed, and comforted him warmly: "You are good to me. It's fine if you know, besides, when Saburo Dalang gets the fame in the future, they will only hold you up and flatter you."

"That's a group of white-eyed wolves. In the past, when you drove an ox-cart to carry things to them, each of them wagged their tails like a dog, but now they dare to speak nasty things!" Xiao Yao scolded angrily, and when the second room got up, they would be Kneeling on the ground and begging yourself, you won't even look at it!
I ignored the chattering little Yao Shi, Zhan's second child's body has almost recovered, and the crisis of eliminating the clan has also been resolved, but the ox cart is now given to Zhan's third child. When he thinks of going to work in the field in the future, Zhan's second child His eyes darkened by three points.

He didn't want to be an old scalper in the fields, maybe he could start a small business.

After severely cursing the women, Xiao Yao pushed the distracted second Zhan, "Head of the family, you didn't see how proud that dead girl is now!"

Xiao Yaoshi's jealous eyes turned red, "There are still those three rooms, are the old patriarch blind? Such a good house was given to that dead girl, and the clan is still offering her to study!"

Thinking that Li's family can be the master of the house without her mother-in-law's pressure, Xiao Yao's family can't wait to move out.

"Don't say this outside." Zhan's second child didn't know that Zhan Feiyu was cheaper, but he didn't want to be excommunicated, only this way was feasible.

Ma Shi had been unhappy for the past two days. He threw the vegetables in his hand and shouted to the west wing, "It's not a newly married little daughter-in-law. what?"

Ma Shi and Zhan Lao San have the same virtue, if they can be lazy, they will be lazy!

In the past, the three sisters took turns cooking, feeding chickens and ducks, and tidying up the yard. Ma's laziness was nothing at all.

But now that Mrs. Li has moved out, and Mrs. Yao has only come back today, Mrs. Ma has done all the big and small things at home. She is tired and angry. Thinking of how much money Zhan’s second son has kept secretly, she is even more worried. Is not a good face.

"Can you be exhausted by doing some work? Do you want me as a mother-in-law to serve you!" In the main room, Mrs. Zhan's sharp scolding rang out. No matter who the Zhan family lived these past few days happy!
Although old lady Zhan kept her second son whom she relies on the most, she suddenly fell ill when she thought that Li Shi and Zhan Feiyu were out of her control.

In addition, the boss Zhan was removed from the family, and no one will do the work in the field in the future. The second and third Zhan are the relationship between the palms of the hands and the back of the hands. Whoever suffers and suffers will feel distressed by Mrs. Zhan.

"Mother, the second sister-in-law made a fuss about remarrying, why didn't you scold her!" Mrs. Ma replied dissatisfiedly, and when the third child came back in the afternoon, she must talk about the 150 taels of silver!

It was another day when chickens flew and dogs jumped. Ma's people were sloppy, and the same was true for cooking. Looking at the dark ball, it was only cooked and edible, far from Li's good cooking skills.

The next day, it was a gloomy weather, and the cold people shivered when the wind blew.

Early in the morning, Mrs. Li cooked multigrain porridge, cut two sweet potatoes and threw them in, cut leeks and fried two eggs and served them on the table, "Little fish, eat more, I don't know when you'll be back."

"Mother, don't worry, with the Master here, the Zeng family would not dare to mess around." Zhan Feiyu couldn't talk about the ban on Dragon Guard, so he pulled Master Lin out.

"Well, you have to study hard, you can't let the old patriarch and the others down." Li's expression relaxed.

Not only these three houses, but the clan also gave one acre of fertile land and two vegetable plots. A few familiar aunts gave you a chicken and I gave a duck. There are already six in the backyard. These days It's much more comfortable than in Zhan's house.

Before it was time to leave after breakfast, Zhan Feiyu picked up the book and read it again, while Mrs. Li went to the river to wash clothes with a wooden basin.

Carrying the basket, Xiao Yao walked to the vegetable field with an aggrieved look on her face. She didn't want to go out so early, but if it was later, she would definitely meet with the villagers, and she would be sarcastic again.

That's how the two former wives met.

Little Yao looked at the ruddy Li, and couldn't help sneering, "Sister-in-law is really a hidden traitor, and she doesn't care about the life of the eldest brother, she only cares about moving out and enjoying herself!"

Li took out the dirty clothes from the tub and glanced at the yin-yang little Yao, "You can ignore the second child and the two children arguing about remarrying, at least I didn't remarry, and I stayed in the village to take care of the little fish. "

"That's because the old patriarch and the others are partial to the dead girl Xiaoyu. If there is no care from the clan, I don't think you would dare to be so hard-hearted!" Xiao Yao shouted angrily, after all, it was the clan's partiality!

Without a house from the clan, and without the money from the clan for the dead girl to study, can my sister-in-law be so relaxed?
Thinking of this, Xiao Yao's eyes rolled and he deliberately raised his voice.

"They are all children of the Zhan clan. Why is the clan in the village only for Xiaoyu to study? It costs [-] taels of silver a year to repair, and this is not even the cost of writing, ink, paper and inkstone. If I say that the clan should provide everything Children study, Aunt Hua, am I right?"

Although the sun has just come out, there are already six or seven women washing clothes in the river. The peasant family is busy from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

Xiao Yao was deliberately provoking right and wrong. No one's money came from the wind. The clan offered the dead girl to study, so she didn't believe that other people were not jealous.

"That's true!" Aunt Hua stood up and moved her sore back. The family was poor, and her two daughters-in-law were driven to work in the fields by her, so she could only do the light work of washing clothes by herself.

The other women looked at each other. Although they all knew in their hearts that this was Xiao Yao's deliberate instigation, but the money involved was still so much money, who wouldn't be jealous?Who is not excited?

"Enough said?" Suddenly, an angry shout sounded.

When Xiao Yao looked back, his face turned pale all of a sudden. He never thought that the village Zheng, the old patriarch, and several other clan elders were all there.

Today we are going to Zeng's house. The young and strong descendants of the clan left before dawn. Village Zheng and the others were about to call Zhan Feiyu to go, but they saw Xiao Yao's instigating trouble here.

The village's dignified eyes swept over several women with different expressions, "Don't think that the clans in the village are partial to the little fish, I will leave the words here today, who's children can read as well as the little fish, no I need you to speak, and the silver clan who study is out!"

Zhan Feiyu's talent for reading is obvious to all, and a month's time is equivalent to what other people read for a year.

"There are ten acres of clan land in the clan, and every year's prosperousness is also used for the clan." The old patriarch originally planned to talk about this after the family affairs. Since it happened today, it is okay to reveal it in advance.

"It is said in the play that the head hangs on the beam and the cone pierces the stock. Who can do it for the children in the village?" The old patriarch's eyes were sharp and his voice was loud, "Xiaoyu only sleeps for three hours a day, and spends the rest of the time reading."

Seeing the shocked expressions of the people present, the old patriarch continued: "Don't envy her talent, just say that Xiaoyu's handwriting can't be written by talent, it's a stroke of practice. The end of the brush is bald, and the jute paper will be used up in less than three days!"

After the old patriarch finished speaking, he looked coldly at the little Yao Shi who wanted to get away, "Darang has read books for four years, so I'll ask you if his words are better than Xiaoyu?"

Watching the old patriarch and his group walk away, a few laundry women smiled awkwardly at Mrs. Li and asked themselves if their children really couldn't do it. It was like a nail had grown under their buttocks. Careful and ran out to play.

Xiao Yao's instigation failed, and she was reprimanded for a while, and angrily turned back to Zhan's house with the empty basket.

……

Village entrance.

"I'm causing trouble for Master Lin today." The village is grateful to Master Lin who is beside the carriage. He originally thought he was going to take the Hu family's ox carriage, but he didn't expect that Master Lin brought the carriage, and it wouldn't be a loss when he got to the Zeng family. momentum.

"Xiaoyu is my student, as it should be." Lin Fuzi smiled warmly. Xiaoyu had previously received a letter of recommendation from Leshanju to enter the county school and prefectural school. Presumably, the Zeng family would also be against rats.

Is this the ancient disguise technique?Zhan Feiyu's eyes were round, and he stared at Yin Wuyan excitedly.

Not only has his stature changed from being as thin as a weak crown to a young man in his 30s and [-]s, his facial features have also completely changed, and the noble temperament hidden in his original indifference has also disappeared. At first glance, he looks like an ordinary young man, a taciturn man. Yes, fully in line with the status of a coachman.

The sound of the hoofs sounded, and Chen Shimo arrived at the gate of the Zeng family mansion on time.

"Is it them?" The alley was filled with people.

The Zeng family released rumors earlier, and everyone knew that the culprit who caused Mrs. Zeng's shocking horse was going to come to the Zeng family to apologize. So many people didn't know that the people who were idle to watch the fun were found by the Zeng family.

"You're stupid, this is a horse-drawn carriage. It would be good for those mud-legged people to have an ox-drawn carriage." The talking ruffian pouted at his companions.

"Didn't you say that the end of the hour is coming? Don't you dare to come?" He looked at the alley in a hurry, but unfortunately he couldn't see the fart except for people.

Zhan Feiyu opened the curtain and looked outside. In addition to those rascals, there were also many old wives and aunts. The key was that they all carried baskets in their hands, and if you looked closely, you could see that there were rotten leaves inside.

"Xiaoyu, come down." Lin Fuzi urged.

Just as Zhan Feiyu was about to jump off the carriage, a rotten sweet potato suddenly smashed over. Zhan Feiyu instinctively ducked to the side, but he forgot that he was still on the carriage.

Yin Wuyan's figure flickered, and she stretched out her hand to catch Zhan Feiyu who fell, when she saw her body suddenly twisted, her arms hugged Yin Wuyan's neck, and her legs were wrapped around his waist.

Zhan Feiyu let out a sigh of relief, and grinned at Yin Wuyan's cold phoenix eyes, "It scared me to death!"

Looking at the fat girl holding her hands and feet, if she was a few years older, Yin Wuyan would think that she fell down on purpose just now.

Aware of the sharpness in Yin Wuyan's eyes, Zhan Feiyu blinked innocently, "This is an instinctive action, I'm a scholar, what should I do if the back of my head falls to the ground?"

"Come down!" Yin Wuyan could feel the soft little body in her arms, she was only fleshy but not tall.

"I hug a man during the day, and I have no shame at a young age, tsk tsk, when I grow up, I should go to the building!" A malicious voice sounded mockingly, and a few rascals laughed loudly. When he laughed, his gaze towards Zhan Feiyu was even more lewd and lewd.

Muramasa and Lin Fuzi's expressions changed, not to mention that Xiaoyu is a scholar who cherishes her reputation, even if she is a little girl from an ordinary family, this humiliation can kill her.

After getting down from Yin Wuyan's arms, Zhan Feiyu straightened his small body and took two steps forward. He raised his lips and smiled, like a spring flower, "This is my distant cousin, a hundred households from the sixth grade."

With a stiff smile on her face, the local ruffian stared blankly at Zhan Feiyu. This short and plump little girl suddenly turned into an evil spirit who wanted her life.

Zhan Feiyu blinked, smiled and urged, "Go ahead and let my cousin listen, and just go to the Weisuo after speaking."

Compared with the one or two silver bonuses given by the Zeng family, his own life is more important!For a moment, the local ruffian also wondered if Zhan Feiyu was talking nonsense.

But looking at her chubby face with a smile on her face, and then looking at Yin Wuyan, who had no expression on her face, the ruffian's legs trembled, and he knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed, "Small, this is too much drinking and talking nonsense, please raise your hands high... …”

The ruffian's face was pale, and he raised his hand and slapped his face. The crisp slaps sounded one after another. After a while, his face was swollen like a pig's head, and he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and cried and begged, "Sir, I know I'm wrong, please sir. Bypass the little dog!"

There were people in the dark alley, but they were all shivering in silence.

These aunts are for the fifty pennies given by the Zeng family.

The local ruffians are paid a tael of silver, as long as they find a way to humiliate Zhan Feiyu and his party, the money is too easy to earn.

But who would have thought that the iron plate would be kicked in the first place, from the [-]th-grade Hundred Households!They won't spend their lives even if they make money.

Zhan Feiyu smiled and looked to the left and right, the original Qiao Xiaoyan Ran's expression sank suddenly, the double swing crossed Duo's waist, posing a fierce shrew's scolding posture, "I'm standing here and don't go away because I plan to accompany me. Are you going to the guardhouse with him?"

"Run!" I don't know who yelled, whooped, and the five No. 60 people in the alley ran away.
Village Zheng and Master Lin were still shocked by Zhan Feiyu's simple lie. She was not very big, and she was not too brave. The carriage driver dared to say that she was a sixth-grade adult.

But looking at the empty alley, as well as the bamboo baskets and vegetable leaves that fell on the ground and were trampled, the corners of Muzheng and Lin Fuzi's mouths twitched. The key is that she dared to say that these people even dared to believe it!

"Xiaoyu." Master Lin took a deep breath, looked at Zhan Feiyu with an innocent expression, and said in a low voice, "I am in a hurry, but I can't trust it in the future."

Pretending to be a court official is a serious crime to beheaded, and it will also implicate innocent people.

"Master, I remember." Zhan Feiyu nodded, looking at the closed door of Zeng's house, "I'll call the door."

The Zeng's house is a big mansion with five entrances, but because Zhan Feiyu was going to be disgraced, except for the doorman, the other servants and servants all retreated to the courtyard of the second entrance and stood.

In the main hall, Zeng Yuquan sat on the main seat, holding a cup of tea and sipping tea elegantly. At first glance, he looked like a weak scholar.

"Master, I'll go take a look ahead." Butler Zeng asked for instructions in a low voice, the time was almost up.

Zeng Yuquan put the teacup back on the table, and his voice was not in a hurry.

Butler Zeng bowed and stepped back. As soon as he left the door, he collided with the doorman who hurried over.

"Housekeeper, it's not good, something happened!" Running too fast, one shoe fell off, and the little servant gasped in a hurry, "Something happened ahead..."

Butler Zeng was stunned for a moment. He had confessed before that those rascals could only make things difficult for Zhan Feiyu, but they could never make trouble.

Not only was Zhan Feiyu valued by the county magistrate, but he was also valued by another adult in Leshan Residence. He also gave him a letter of recommendation. If something really happened, the Zeng family would definitely be implicated.

"Let Doctor Qian go out." Zeng Yuquan walked out, the sun shining on him, but it couldn't dissolve the suffocating gloom.

"Young master, no." The servant glanced at Zeng Yuquan uneasily, and said bravely: "Those people in the alley have all run away, and not a single one is left. Now Zhan Feiyu and the others are outside the door!"

What?Butler Zeng was stunned for a moment. He thought that the law was different, so he spent money to find these people, but why did they all run away?Don't they want money anymore?

Zeng Yuquan was also stunned for a moment, and smiled with the corners of his pale lips, "Interesting, since the housekeeper is like this, you go to greet him! By the way, let Weng San bring all the mice he caught."

"Yes, young master." Butler Zeng felt uneasy in his heart. Weng San was a trainee and had seen blood in his hands.

The village is still worried about the whereabouts of Zhuzi and these young people. Before, there were people in the alley, and they were normal if they didn't see Zhuzi, but they haven't seen anyone yet, and he knew that something must have happened.

"It should have been caught by the Zeng family." Zhan Feiyu's expression became a little heavy, if they really had an accident...

Yin Wuyan glanced at Zhan Feiyu, who had a murderous look on his face. He was so worried about the villagers that he looked like a seven-year-old child, but his heart was a little too soft.

"Muramasa."

"uncle!"

Here, Zhan Feiyu passed through the hanging flower gate and just arrived at the courtyard. The pillar and others who were kneeling on the side immediately shouted. They are all the strongest in the village. The Huang brothers are still hunters, but they just arrived at Zeng's house in the morning. The alley was seized.

All ten people were tied with ropes, so their faces were a little bruised, their hands and feet were all intact, and Zhan Feiyu's hanging heart was suddenly relieved.

"Dare to harm my wife and the unborn young master just for 100 taels of silver." Weng San's eyes were dark and violent. He was tall and strong, and he grabbed the back collar of the pillar with one hand, and picked him up like a chicken. middle of the road.

Just as Cunzheng was about to step forward, Zhan Feiyu raised his hand to stop the people and walked over with short legs, "The person you are looking for is me, how can I let them go?"

Whether it's on the surface or in the dark, Zhan Feiyu is the only person the Zeng family really has to deal with.

On the surface: Zhan's second son murdered Mrs. Zeng, and the Zeng family did not let him be killed and maimed, but they were worried about Zhan Feiyu, a scholar; secretly: The disappearance of Jade Mian Langjun was related to Zhan Feiyu. The family will also kill her.
