I was a famous teacher in ancient times

Chapter 87 Surprise Everywhere

Liu Lizheng looked left and right, and said while carrying the luggage, "I'll bring the luggage in first."

This is to make room for the couple to chat.

Zhou Yu waited for Liu Li to leave, and stood by the carriage and whispered, "I saw the magistrate."

Yang Xi was puzzled. Isn't it normal to see the magistrate?

Zhou Yu said in a low voice, "We not only know each other, but we are also very familiar with the county magistrate!"

Yang Xi, "!!"

Yang Sanmeng turned his head, his eyes widened, he knew all too well why the Zhou family went south incognito!
Seeing that his daughter-in-law was nervous, Zhou Yu held her hand, "Do you still remember Uncle Zhong's eldest son?"

Yang Xi reacted for a while, "I remember that when Uncle Zhong was unwilling to join forces with others, he was completely disappointed with the court and officialdom, and resigned in anger to return to his ancestral home. Do you mean Uncle Zhong's eldest son is the county magistrate?"

Zhou Yu nodded, "Uncle Zhong is from Quanzhou, and Ruizhou is not far from Quanzhou. Brother Zhong is the magistrate of Xiang County."

Yang Xi, "That's not right, I remember that Brother Zhong was your last jinshi. Dad wanted to help with the plan in private, but Brother Zhong refused. I remember that the official position was Huaizhou Prefecture's seventh-rank pusher, so how did he become Ruizhou Xiang? County magistrate?"

Zhou Yu had a guess in his heart, "Uncle Zhong operates it. Even if Uncle Zhong resigns, there are still some contacts that can be used."

Yang Xi thought that the Zhou family also had some connections, but unfortunately they don't trust anyone now.

Yang San doesn't care about the Zhong family, he only cares, "Brother-in-law, do we want to leave Ruizhou?"

He was afraid that his brother-in-law's family would be sold, and there would be nowhere to run.

Zhou Yu thought that his life was full of surprises. He avoided Quanzhou because he didn't want to meet the Zhong family. As a result, people were not as good as heaven, so he went directly to Brother Zhong's jurisdiction, "You don't have to leave."

The Zhong family can still be trusted. Uncle Zhong and Uncle Zhong pretend to disagree on the face, and they communicate a lot in private. Although there is no annual ceremony exchange, and they only communicate once a year, Uncle Zhong and Uncle Zhong trust each other the most.

Before his death, Dad didn't mention Uncle Zhong and asked them to return to their ancestral home. He was also afraid that the Xu family would discover the Zhong family and bring disaster to the Zhong family, so he never thought about going to Uncle Zhong when he went south.

When Uncle Zhong persuaded his father to resign early and leave Beijing, Dad had too many scruples in his heart, but Uncle Zhong resigned early but gained peace.

Yang San coughed twice, Zhou Yu and his wife looked up and saw Big Brother Zhong walking towards the carriage. Big Brother Zhong was the only one, without the servants and the yamen.

Yang Xi saw the county magistrate and other officials looking at this side, and withdrew his eyes and fell on Brother Zhong. Today's inspection of the corvée reported that Brother Zhong was wearing the county magistrate's uniform, not to mention he was quite spirited. Brother Zhong has not changed much.

Just as Zhong Jin was about to speak, he noticed that there was an outsider, and swallowed his words.

Yang San jumped out of the carriage when he saw it, "Sister, brother-in-law, I'll go to a distance."

Yang Xi said, "Don't go too far."

Yang San waved, "Got it."

Zhong Jin reacted for a while, "Zhan Peng seems to have changed?"

Yang Xi shook his head and said in a low tone, "No, his name is Yang Xixuan, the younger brother he recognized when he went south."

Zhong Jin was a person with a delicate heart, so he didn't continue to ask Yang Zhanpeng, "There were so many people that it was hard to talk, and now there are only the three of us. What happened to the capital? Why did you come down to Ruizhou? You changed your name?"

Don't mention how surprised he was just now. He happened to ask how many talents came to settle accounts this year, and Zhou Yu came to register. When he said his name, he couldn't stop his expression.

Zhou Yu and his wife looked sad, Zhou Yu said, "My father was framed by the Xu family, and he died because he escaped from the capital for us."

Zhong Jin had some guesses, and heard his pupils shrink, "How could it be? Uncle Zhou is so clever, how could he fall into the Xu family's calculations?"

Zhou Yu's tone was somber, "Xu Chen, this old man has gained power, and my father has been in the way of many people over the years. When the incident happened suddenly, my father could only protect us and leave."

Zhong Jin scolded the stupid court in his heart, cursing the traitorous ministers in power, "You escaped and your uncle can rest in peace, why didn't you write a letter from Beijing?"

Zhou Yu explained in a low voice, "The incident happened suddenly, Dad asked us to go back to our ancestral home, Dad didn't want to implicate Uncle Zhong, and we didn't dare to contact anyone. In the last resort, we got a fake household registration and settled down south, but I didn't expect to meet my elder brother. "

A short sentence, revealing too much information.

Zhong Jin's eyes were red, and Uncle Zhou was afraid that he would affect the Zhong family when he died.

Zhou Yu asked, "How did Brother Zhong become the magistrate of Xiang County?"

Zhong Jin explained, "My father felt that the world was not good. He didn't want me to be too far from home, so he used his contacts to seek the magistrate of Xiang County. If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't be an official in the place of residence, my father would have wanted me to be an official under his nose."

Zhou Yu looked at them when he saw them, and whispered: "This is not the time to chat, let's talk when we have time?"

Zhong Jin nodded, "Let's go, I'll give you another errand."

Zhou Yu hurriedly said: "Brother Zhong, my errand is already good, and I don't want to be too conspicuous."

Zhong Jin felt wronged by Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu was a jinshi. Seeing that Zhou Yu was well-dressed and travelling in a carriage, Zhong Jin felt relieved, "Listen to you."

Zhou Yu carried the luggage, avoided Brother Zhong's helping hand, and said to his daughter-in-law, "Don't worry about me, I'll go home soon, take care of yourself."

Yang Xi nodded, "Don't worry, I will take care of myself."

Watching Zhou Yu leave, Yang San turned back after a while, "Sister, is the Zhong family really reliable?"

Yang Xi has a long memory and trusts the Zhong family, "The Zhong family is reliable."

Yang San moved his lips, a shrewd person like my brother-in-law would definitely not misunderstand him, "It's good to be reliable."

Liu Lizheng also came back, did not leave in a hurry, came to the carriage, "Your family is familiar with the county magistrate?"

He is not blind, the magistrate treats Mr. Zhou like his younger brother, the two talk casually, and the relationship is not ordinary, and he is very proud, or he has a good eye.

Yang Xi didn't hide it, and the more he hid it, it seemed like he was invisible, so he might as well reduce his suspicions generously, "Fathers have friendship."

As soon as Liu Lizheng heard it, he confirmed that the Zhou family had a good family background. He did not continue to ask, "It's getting late, Lady Yang, let's go back to town?"

Yang Xi thought about his family, "Okay."

The carriage turned around, and the road was filled with people lining up for corvée.

The road in Xiangxian is very flat, Liu Lizheng proudly said: "The road was built in the first year of the county magistrate's arrival. My second son served as a corvée, and in several nearby counties, our road to Xiangxian is the smoothest."

Yang Xi smiled, Uncle Zhong is a rare good official, and he attaches great importance to the education of his children. Brother Zhong is a good official for the common people, which is inseparable from Uncle Zhong's education.

All the way back to the town, Liu Lizheng went directly back to Shanghe Village. As a result of this trip, Liu Lizheng was more polite to the Zhou family.

When Yang Xi came back, he went to the toilet first. His belly was a month old, and he went to the toilet too frequently. After washing, he entered his mother-in-law's house.

When Mr. Ye saw his daughter-in-law came back safely, his heart fell, "Just come back safely."

She was worried that there would be an accident on the road, and she would have no face to see her husband.

Yang Xi sat down, "Mother is worried."

Ye Shi patted his daughter-in-law's hand, "You don't worry about Yu'er, my mother understands you."
