I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 73

The man surnamed Jin was stumped by Zhan Feiyu's math problem, so he turned to Zhang Xiucai for help.

Useless fool!Zhang Xiucai's face was grim for a bit, and he held up the teacup and shook it towards the corner.

But a 24-year-old young man stood up, and said modestly and politely: "I also like math, but I am born stupid. I would like to ask Zhan Xiaomengtong for your advice on the question of the general's individual soldier."

The other party kept his attitude low, and if Zhan Feiyu didn't say anything, she would appear to be arrogant.

Still in the private room on the second floor, Chongguang saw Zhan Feiyu's malicious appearance, and immediately became happy, "Seventh Master, the fat girl is going to spoil it."

Yin Wuyan put down the pen in his hand and silently looked at the numbers he just calculated. He was proficient in arithmetic, but it took half a column of incense to calculate the result, but the little girl opened her mouth and reported the answer.

Chongguang glanced downstairs, rubbed his fingers on his chin and speculated, "The fat girl must have known that Zhang Xiucai would use this question to make things difficult for her. She figured out the answer in advance. This is called being prepared!"

"Master Niu, who is the best at math in Shangsi County, is still working hard, how does Zhan Feiyu know the answer?" Dr. Ji retorted with contempt, except for his good skills, Chongguang has no brains.

"Can't the fat girl overhear the answer?" Chongguang angrily returned, the answer was either nonsense or overheard.

He admits that the fat girl is smart, but his seventh master is definitely the smartest in the Daqing Dynasty. The seventh master has used a pen to calculate the duration of half a column of incense, and it is impossible for the fat girl to be more powerful than the seventh master.

Doctor Ji is not good at math, but he has both brains and eyes! "After that Jin gave the question, Zhan Feiyu pondered for a while, she must be doing mental arithmetic at that time!"

"Quiet!" Yin Wuyan said coldly, while Zhan Feiyu had already spoken downstairs.

"Three people walk together for seventy years, five trees and plum blossoms and twenty-one branches, and seven sons reunite for half a month. You will know if you divide one hundred and five. You can calculate the answer based on this." After Zhan Feiyu finished speaking, he immediately said: " Shopkeeper, please give these two a pen and paper to facilitate their calculations."

"Zhan Xiaomeng is very polite." The old shopkeeper asked the servant to bring the pen and paper, and he walked over, "The old man usually takes care of the account books of Leshanju, and he is also somewhat interested in arithmetic. Can the old man stand by and watch?"

Zhan Feiyu smiled like a little wild cat who succeeded in stealing fish, his eyes were narrowed, and the old shopkeeper was so bad!

"Haha, I'm also curious about how this question is calculated. Don't worry, the two of you, I'll keep it safe and not disturb you two!" The round-faced boy rubbed himself up and stood up, and by the way he pulled up the classmate who was sitting beside him, " Three people, there must be my teacher! Come and study hard!"

At a young age, you can get the title of scholar, so the students of the county school are naturally intelligent, and they will understand as soon as their eyes roll.

The man surnamed Jin and the youth were dumbfounded. Looking at the pen and paper in front of them, they seemed to have seen the poison that would kill them, and sweat broke out on their foreheads in the winter.

One of them is a businessman who only knows words and can settle accounts, and the other can only recite poetry and write poems well, and the level of poetry writing is just as smooth.
"Why haven't you written yet?" The round-faced boy was puzzled at first, and then seemed to understand, and said in an extremely exaggerated manner: "Could it be that he is as good at mental arithmetic as Zhan Xiaomengtong?"

"Master is right, it really is someone outside the world, there is a sky outside the sky!" The classmate on the side nodded in agreement.

The man surnamed Jin and the youth turned pale, and their legs were so weak that they could no longer stand.

On the contrary, Zhao Jiaoyu put down the pen at the table.

Zhao Jiaoyu said warmly: "This is calculated."

"Ashamed, I still listened to Zhan Xiaomengtong's reminder." Master Niu stood up and handed over to Zhan Feiyu. Although he was a master, he was also a master, but in terms of learning, this little girl was definitely his teacher.

"Master is wrong, I specialize in surgery, I'm just interested in arithmetic." Zhan Feiyu hurriedly said, anyone who has received nine years of compulsory education can calculate these arithmetic problems, which is a compliment for her guilty conscience.

The other four Juren and Xiucai who were doing calculations also put down their pens and looked at Zhan Feiyu with admiration. If it wasn't for the hints she gave, they really couldn't figure out the answer.

"Xiongtai didn't say that he was interested in arithmetic, why didn't he write?" The round-faced boy asked with a smile. Even at this level, he dared to speak out and play hard.

"Wenmin, don't be aggressive!" Master Dou's cold and majestic voice sounded.

The round-faced boy who was warned smiled guilty and gave Zhan Feiyu a fierce look, and then returned to his seat with his classmates.

The people present were not fools, they all knew what was going on.

At sunset, the people who participated in the cultural meeting left Leshan Residence one after another.

Zhan Feiyu originally planned to leave with Master Lin, but he never thought that Chongguang had come downstairs.

Chongguang's face was sullen, with a business-like attitude, "Zhan Xiaomengtong, please stay, my adults are invited."

Ho!It is said that the adult who likes to come to Leshanju for tea?
After everyone who didn't leave was stunned for a moment, their fiery eyes glanced at Zhongguang, then raised their heads and looked upstairs. The adults who can recommend students to enter the county school and the prefectural school are at least a fourth-rank senior!Why didn't I get the favor of this adult!

When Zhan Feiyu followed Chongguang upstairs, everyone didn't show their faces, but the villain in his heart was beating his chest. Jealousy made me ugly... But I'm still so jealous.

"Teacher, that lord has been upstairs?" the round-faced youth said blankly.

Because they are scholars who have achieved fame, they know better than others how valuable this opportunity is!In the future, with the help and care of adults, there will be fewer detours!

Looking at the students with different expressions, Zhao Jiaoyu said solemnly: "Don't force anything!"

He also didn't know the identity of this lord, but when he met with lord Chen before, he only said four words: expensive.

Zhao Jiaoyu understood that this identity is more valuable than outside speculation, and he is unwilling to reveal his identity. In the final analysis, this is an opportunity that belongs to Zhan Xiaomengtong and cannot be forced!
"Fat girl, have you enjoyed the feeling of being in the limelight?" Chongguang, who turned his back to the crowd and went upstairs, had a teasing look on his face.

Glancing at him, Zhan Feiyu sneered, "I'm going to burn a hole in my back."

The two words on the back are accented!

Uh... Chongguang, whose back whiplash has not yet healed, touched his nose with a guilty conscience. Well, the fat girl is a slap in the face.

Pushing the door in, Zhan Feiyu smiled sweetly at Yin Wuyan, "Big brother, look for me..."

Seeing the papers scattered on the table and the numbers on it, Zhan Feiyu paused, feeling a little stiff on his face, dodging with a guilty conscience in his small eyes, the title of prodigy doesn't live up to its name...

Yin Wuyan didn't speak, glanced at Chongguang and Doctor Ji, and motioned them to leave.

No!Still waiting to watch the lively heavy light is extremely reluctant.

Doctor Ji, who turned to leave, snorted coldly, and slapped Chongguang's back unceremoniously.

After a scream, the room was calm again.

Looking at Zhan Feiyu, who was uneasy, but could hold on to his face, Yin Wuyan smiled thinly and handed over a black iron token, "If anyone asks you in the future, you can only say that I gave you the enlightenment."

The token is no more than the size of Zhan Feiyu's palm, and on the front are three words painted on silver hooks and iron: Forbidden Dragon Guard.

Happiness comes so fast!Zhan Feiyu rubbed his head and raised his head, his black round face's big eyes were full of joy and excitement, and he grinned and showed his little white teeth, "Thank you big brother, no, thank you teacher!"

Earned!Although it is only a verbal master-disciple relationship, a teacher for one day is a father for a lifetime!In the Daqing Dynasty in the future, she Zhan Xiaoyu will be able to walk sideways!

Rao is Yin Wuyan's cold temper, which will also be embarrassed by Zhan Feiyu's unfamiliar enthusiasm.

Looking at the fat girl with happy brows, Yin Wuyan could only think of one sentence: Push your nose to your face!

The extremely awkward Zhan Feiyu took out the handkerchief, solemnly wrapped the token, and stuffed it into his arms. He also stretched out his fat paw and patted his chest to make sure it would not be lost.

After finishing everything, Zhan Feiyu looked up at Yin Wuyan, his thick eyebrows flew into his temples, his phoenix eyes were cold and bottomless, but it was a pity that this face was too young...

Zhan Feiyu sighed with great regret, Master... If this is a few years older, she has decided that the father will lie down and win Yusheng from now on.

Although it is not clear what she is sighing, Yin Wuyan knows that it is not a good thing, "You know that you are not the Zhan family."

"Ah?" Zhan Feiyu blinked blankly, what does this mean?
After a while, after listening to Yin Wuyan's words, Zhan Feiyu lowered his head and was a little confused.

She was able to stagger when she had memory. At that time, she didn't feel that she was not biological at all. Her parents didn't say anything. Even her grandparents treated her very well in face, but of course she couldn't be with Zhan Dalang. Grandson ratio.

But Erlang and Saburo plus themselves, the three of them are similar in age, and the family is also a bowl of water. Until he wants to enter school, this illusion is broken.

"My grandmother used to be kind to me, was it because of fear?" Zhan Feiyu's voice could not hear any emotion.

She pretended not to notice a lot of things. When there was no conflict of interest, she would naturally just get on with it, otherwise it would only be troublesome.

And studying in a private school is the bottom line that he will never give in, so he tore the coat of family harmony, but Zhan Feiyu has no regrets.

When Zhan Feiyu was still a baby in swaddling clothes, old lady Zhan wished she could be strangled to pay for her grandson who died in vain, but she was even more afraid of being revenge. Those two women who looked kind-hearted actually committed murder. Mrs. Zhan was really afraid of something fatal.

This kind of emotion tormented her for more than a year, until Zhan Feiyu had the memory of her previous life, and Mrs. Zhan could treat her with a normal heart, and another thought came to her.

Although I don't know what made the two women keep her in the Zhan family, if the other party recognizes the person again in the future, will the Zhan family who raised Zhan Feiyu have a big credit?At least a large amount of money will be compensated.

Yin Wuyan touched Zhan Feiyu's little head, but there was comfort in his cold voice, "Everything in the world is for profit, you don't need to think about it."

"I know." Zhan Feiyu raised his head and smiled, his eyes were still clear, no sadness or hatred.

After going through his life experience again in his mind, Zhan Feiyu asked, "Big brother, she poisoned me with almonds because she was worried that I was studying and that leaving in the future would bring disaster to the Zhan family?"

Zhan Feiyu didn't know who his biological parents were and why she was transferred to Zhan's house, but there were only two possibilities: one was done by the enemy, and the other was done by a relative.

If it is an enemy, it is easier to strangle a baby in a swaddle.

Of course, if the other party wants to take a long-term view, he definitely doesn't want to see him change from a vulgar peasant girl to a talented girl who is full of poetry and books, and Mrs. Zhan is also afraid that Zhan Feiyu will become excellent and anger the enemy.

If it's his so-called family, he doesn't care about it for seven years, and he probably doesn't want his self-sufficient self to appear in front of them again, so no matter what the reason is, the Zhan family is only safe when he dies.

And death from allergies will only be regarded as a sudden disease. If you wait a few more years, your bones will rot into slag, and you will not be afraid of being investigated.

……

Why!Seeing that Zhan Feiyu was favored by nobles again, Zhang Tianhao's eyes were red with jealousy.

The same is true for several students of Zhangjia Private School, wishing they could go upstairs in place of Zhan Feiyu.

"Go back!" Zhang Xiucai snorted coldly. He could be said to have lost all face at the literary meeting, but Zhan Feiyu won a big victory, and this time he can add the icing on the cake.

Speaking of hate, Zhang Xiucai had the heart to kill Zhan Feiyu, but now in the backyard of Leshan, his words and deeds are watched in the eyes of others.

"Yes, Master." Several students were afraid of Zhang Xiucai's cold face.

After a while, the carriage was pulled out from the backyard, and a few people followed Zhang Xiucai into the carriage.

"Don't come up yet!" Looking at Zhang Tianhao, who was still dawdling, Zhang Xiucai's anger had reached its peak.

The angry Zhang Tianhao kicked the tree trunk next to him. He was about to get into the carriage when he saw two people walking over quickly.

"Master Zhang, please wait a moment." Second Zhan's face was still morbidly pale. After all, he suffered seven knives before, and he lost too much blood and hurt his vitality.

Zhan Dalang lost his arrogance at home, and bowed his hands to Zhang Tianhao timidly, "Master Zhang."

"Who are you? Don't stand in your way, get out of the way!" Zhang Tianhao looked at Zhan Second and Zhan Dalang with contempt. Where did these two poor people come from?
The scolded second Zhan's expression changed slightly. It is estimated that he did not expect the young master of the Xiucai family to be so vulgar.

Zhan Dalang lowered his head, but his eyes were full of annoyance. Like Zhu Peng, he was just a good reincarnation. Why should he look down on himself!At the text conference just now, he was not crushed by that dead girl Zhan Feiyu!
Taking a deep breath, the second son of Zhan explained his purpose with a smile, "Master Zhang, this is my eldest son, Zhan Xiujun, Zhang's private school is the best private school in Shangsi County, my family's Xiujun hopes to come to the private school to study and get Zhang Xiucai. teaching."

Hearing the other party's surname Zhan, Zhang Tianhao's anger suddenly erupted, and he kicked Zhan's second son, "As far as I can go, Zhangjia Private School will never accept your son, get out, or else Don't blame me for being rude!"

……

When Zhan Feiyu returned to the village, he saw Xiao Yao and Ma shouting at the gate of the yard, and there were many people around.

"Sister-in-law, you can't be without conscience. Xiaoyu has been adopted, but it's also the clock of Lao Zhan's family. Her milk is sick now. We have to share the money equally among the three families!" Ma shouted loudly, involving silver, what? The sister-in-law is fake.

Xiao Yao's face was also sullen and ugly, "Xiaoyu wants to study, the reputation of being unfilial has spread, I'm afraid it's not good."

"Sister-in-law, you live in a tile-roofed house, and there are six or seven chickens in the yard. Xiaoyu came back in a carriage two days ago. I heard that you brought a lot of good things!" This time I felt that Zhan Feiyu's adoption was not a good thing, all the good things were swallowed up by my sister-in-law.

"I heard that Mrs. Zhan was ill from the big house, and she never said anything. In the end, the high fever burned her throat." The woman onlookers explained to the people next to her.

"Isn't that dumb?" Several women were shocked.

"Doctor Wang said that if he wants to be cured, he will go to a medical center. It is estimated that the medical fee will be at least 50 taels, and it may not be cured."

As soon as they heard 50 taels, everyone suddenly understood why Mrs. Yao and Mrs. Ma came here to make a fuss. With so much money, no one would feel pain. The most feared thing was that the disease was not cured after the money was spent.

An elderly old lady sighed and said, "What are you doing with that unjustly wasted money? If you can't speak, don't say anything."

There are no dumb people in Jinlin Village, but there are dumb people in the two neighboring villages, and if they don't speak, it doesn't affect their work. Besides, Mrs. Zhan is in her 50s, so it's not worth the money.

"Xiaoyu is back." Someone shouted.

Ma hurried over to Zhan Feiyu and said impatiently: "Xiaoyu, your milk is sickened by your father's anger, you must pay for this money, if it is put into someone else's house, the money for seeing a doctor will definitely be from you. Dad goes out alone, not evenly."

Ma's family wanted to let Boss Zhan make money by himself, but he was expelled from his family. Because he was busy building a fence for Li's family, he refused to cut wood for the old house. Who knew that old lady Zhan was angry and she Be strong, and the Zhan family won't know until they can't speak.

After listening to "Causes and Consequences", Zhan Feiyu couldn't help looking in the direction of the old house. If he hadn't known that he had been fed dumb medicine, Zhan Feiyu would have believed this nonsense.

"That former third aunt." Zhan Feiyu looked at Ma Shi who was about to fight if he didn't give him money, "It's not that he became dumb, then how did you know that my ex-father was angry?"

Uh……

The chattering Ma Shi was stunned by the question, and the people next to him were dumbfounded, yes, not dumb.

This dead girl is really sharp and sharp!Xiao Yao looked at the useless Ma with disgust again, and then said yin and yang strangely: "This is what your grandfather said. Your mother can't speak, but it's not stupid, she can still nod and shake her head."

I see!Everyone suddenly realized that, yes, old man Zhan and old lady Zhan fell asleep in the same bed, and they must know that she was sickened by Boss Zhan.

"Xiaoyu, don't worry about it, you have already adopted." Li put one hand on Zhan Feiyu's shoulder, guarded the person behind him, and looked at Xiao Yao with cold eyes, "Boss Zhan has been removed from the clan, if you want money, look for it. He's going! If you don't, go and sue the officials!"

The eldest Zhan, who was removed from the clan, almost went out of the house and brought a few clothes. Even if he was taken care of by the village, he would not starve to death now, and he probably didn't even have ten pennies on him.

"Sister-in-law, that's not what you said." Xiao Yao's face was gloomy, and Ma was also full of anger.

Neither of the two sisters-in-law is willing to pay money to see a doctor for old lady Zhan. Of course, they are also jealous of Li's current life, so they come to the door to ask for money.

"Can't the 150 taels of silver that Zhan Laoer has in Jubao Bank be withdrawn?" Li's words hit the nail on the head.

Everyone remembered this, and looked at Xiao Yao and Ma with contempt.

Although it was ill-gotten gains, the Zhan family had no use for the ready-made silver, and they had to ask Li and Xiaoyu for the money, which was too dark.

"The money was put away by the mother, the mother would rather die of illness than spend the money, she wants to leave the money at home, and the child will spend money to get married after studying, but we as juniors can't watch the mother is always sick, That's why I thought about collecting money in private." Xiao Yaoshi couldn't help but wipe away tears when she said that she was sad.

Xiao Yao's cry earned a lot of sympathy, and this explanation made sense.

The elderly are reluctant to spend money to see a doctor, this is the kindness of the elders; the younger generation collects money to treat the elders, this is the filial piety of the younger generation.

Zhan Feiyu took Li's hand and said, "I brought something back last time, but it was only books, clothes, and cakes, and I didn't have any money."

"Yes, I was there to help." Shan Waziniang agreed.

At that time, she helped Li to carry the boxes. There were two boxes, one large and one small. The larger one contained clothes, which were all worn by Zhan Feiyu, and the small one contained books.

"The pastry Xiaoyu was given to us to taste." The aunt next door took over. She had given Li and Xiaoyu ten eggs and a basket of vegetables. Unexpectedly, Li returned a package of delicate pastries.

Ma was anxious when he heard it, and shouted: "Xiaoyu, you have no money, why don't you ask Master Lin to borrow a little, not too much, ten taels is enough, let's make up the rest!"

"Okay, I will ask the Master to borrow money tomorrow. Which hospital do you go to see a doctor, I will send [-] taels of silver directly." Zhan Feiyu agreed simply.

Ma Shi and Xiao Yao Shi, who had not had time to rejoice, turned black, wishing they could slap Zhan Feiyu to death, did this dead girl have a belly of heart!
Mrs. Li laughed. Even if he adopted it, the Zhan family had raised Xiaoyu for seven years, and these [-] taels of silver should be used to buy Xiaoyu a good reputation for filial piety.

In the evening, every family had dinner, and the story of Mrs. Zhan being dumb was spread all over, and there was no one who did not praise Zhan Feiyu for being unfilial.

The village is shaking his head and said with a smile: "Xiaoyu is a softhearted."

Although he had a good heart, he could not be deceived. By sending the money to the medical center, he put an end to the greed of Zhan's family. In the future, they used the same reason to persecute Xiaoyu, which at most made the doctor of the medical center cheaper.

The old patriarch said to the eldest son on the side: "You go to the village Zheng's place tomorrow, let him have a look, and by the way warn the Changshun family, adopting and eliminating the clan is not a child's play, this time it's fine, and then Next time, the whole family will move out of Jinlin Village!"

The old patriarch had a deep understanding of the greed of those in the old house by letting the clan boss Zhan cut firewood and the adopted little fish.

In the old house, Mrs. Zhan was lying on the bed and didn't eat dinner. She was not reluctant to give up the money, but not afraid!
This time I was just poisoned and dumb. If I get cured, will I die next time?The old lady Zhan was pale, and her body curled up under the quilt was trembling.
