Mugui

Chapter 71
The donkey cart first detoured to the county seat, Yang Mu bought a lot of gifts and daily necessities, and also bought a few sets of ready-made clothes before continuing to Jiguan Mountain.

Jiguan Mountain is on the east side of the county seat, exactly in two directions from Zhupo Village, and the mountain road is difficult to walk, you have to climb two mountains.

When the ox cart reached the mountain road, they could no longer go on, so everyone got off the cart and started to walk.

The old man Niu took the money from Yang Mu and drove away without looking back.

Yang Mu never knew that that old donkey could run so fast!
The mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk, and Hei Daya is very excited, smelling here, looking there, or simply raising his legs to mark the territory.

Qiuqiu, on the other hand, refused to leave when passing by a bamboo forest, "嘤嘤嘤".Everyone had no choice but to give it a tender bamboo to chew on, and then it was willing to calm down and concentrate on cooking.

Yang Shitou fell asleep in Fang Fugui's arms. It was not until night that he was suddenly awakened by the howling of wolves.After waking up, he found that it was not his elder sister who was holding him, so he immediately twisted his small body, asking his elder sister to hug him.

Several people gathered around the bonfire, Fang Fugui put down Yang Shitou, the little guy ran to his sister with a "da da da", and said in a childish voice, "Sister, I'm afraid!"

Yang Mu's cute heart melted into water, and he immediately hugged the little man and comforted him softly.

In fact, Yang Shitou has become more and more courageous since the separation, but he is still a little afraid of changing to an unfamiliar environment.

Nestled in his sister's arms, Yang Shitou felt safe and gradually fell asleep again.

Fang Fugui, Yang Mu and Mu Dalang took turns to watch the night, and they lived peacefully that night.

On the second day, several people put out the fire and continued on their way.

When they were on their way to Jiguan Mountain, in the Baiyun Academy in the county, the gentlemen were having a meeting to discuss the matter of Yang Ershan.

It's not a big deal for Yang Ershan to humiliate women for doing business in the street. Even some self-proclaimed gentlemen think that women are born humble and shouldn't do what men do, and it's even more indecent to show their faces in public.

But some gentlemen think that the Dashun Law does not mean that women are not allowed to do business, and some women are even better at doing business than men.

Some gentlemen gave examples that there are also women doing business in this dynasty. For example, the Bai family, the richest man in the country, is a woman in power.

Some gentlemen brought up the matter of the Qilin princess and the detachment of women stationed at Niangziguan in the previous dynasty.

The topic got bigger and bigger, and finally, the gentleman who supported women's business mentioned the matter of the current empress dowagers of the two palaces listening to politics behind a curtain.

Those pretentious gentlemen suddenly became like jagged gourds and stopped talking.

The emperor at that time was very young, so the empress dowagers of the two palaces could only listen to the government behind the curtain. This was a last resort.

If anyone dares to say "the rooster wakes up in the morning", they will definitely be slapped with "Then tell me, who will the state affairs be entrusted to?"

No matter who the answer is given to, they all want to seize the Queen Mother's power.

So, this is a very sensitive topic.

The meeting fell silent.

Suddenly, a servant came in from outside and whispered in the dean's ear.

The dean's face changed, and he said in surprise: "What did you say?!"

The boy spoke a little loudly this time, and everyone who listened intently with bated breath could hear it.

Someone stole 100 taels of silver that the academy was preparing to make summer school uniforms!
The person who stole has been caught on the spot. It is Yang Wen, a student from the same village as Yang Ershan!
The gentlemen are all confused, what happened to Zhupo Village?There are two students in total, and both have problems!
It turned out that when Yang Wen passed the accountant, he saw that the accountant went to the toilet, and saw that there was no one in the room, and the cabinet was unlocked, so he took 100 taels of silver out of luck.

The 100 taels are actually for returning to Yang Mu.

It's just that he didn't expect that just as he put the money into his pocket, the accountant came back, and he was caught so badly that he couldn't even make a sophistry.

Baiyun Academy has always dealt with students who have serious problems such as theft.

So the meeting originally discussing Yang Ershan was temporarily changed to discuss how Yang Wen should deal with it.

After a heated discussion at the meeting, it was always believed that Yang Wen should be expelled to protect the reputation of Baiyun Academy!
Thus, Yang Wen was kicked out of the academy and confiscated 100 taels of dirty silver.

Yang Wen went back to the village in disgrace. When the patriarch found out about this, he was so angry that he asked for family law.

Yang Sanbo personally struck Yang Wen with the rattan cane.

The battered Yang Wen lay on the bed, gritted his teeth angrily.

If it wasn't for Yang Mu, how could he steal money?

If it wasn't for Yang Mu, how could he be fired?
If it wasn't for Yang Mu, how could he be beaten by his father?
Yang Wen gritted his teeth, and after a while, he suddenly lost his temper.

He can't beat Yang Mu!

Not only that, he couldn't even get those two deeds back!
He grabbed his hair and growled in a low voice, impotent and violent.

He didn't understand why a country girl who didn't even know a word was so difficult to deal with!
The daughter of the county magistrate, the female official who returned to her hometown to be honored and raised, the bandit's cottage...

Why are these people so nice to that village girl!
Now even the patriarch grandfather needs to please her!

He doesn't even have the only racial advantage!
Really pissed him off!

……

In the upper room of the patriarch's house.

The patriarch sat on the top chair, his expression still grim.

Yang Sanbo stood in front of his father, holding the blood-dripping cane in his hand, and sighed, "Father, what will this child do from now on?"

There is only such a student in the family who is studying, and he was expelled from Baiyun Academy. If he goes to other academies, it will be difficult for him to be a scholar.

The patriarch gritted his teeth and said, "Go and prepare the best gift, and follow me to the dean's house tomorrow to beg for mercy."

He sighed and said, "It's an eventful autumn!"

Yang Sanbo complained, "That's right, the matter of the old Yang's family has not been resolved, and Mu girl went to the bandit den to file a complaint. I don't know if those bandits will anger our Zhupo Village!"

The patriarch glared at his son angrily, and said, "I'm old and blind, why don't you know how to be better? Old Yang's family bullied Cao Xiaoxue like that, didn't you know? If we had known earlier, It wouldn't have caused Cao Xiaoxue to die in Zhupo Village! It made her so passive!"

Yang Sanbo was speechless, who in Zhupo Village didn't know about Cao Xiaoxue being bullied by the Zhao family?

At the beginning, it was the father who had taken a fancy to some assets of the old Yang family and gave the old Yang family face, so he ordered the villagers not to publicize this matter to avoid the bandits' revenge!
Now blame him again!

It's just that his father has a lot of prestige, so he dare not speak back.

Fortunately, the patriarch just complained casually, and then changed the subject, saying: "Hasn't Lizheng come yet?"

He and Li Zheng discussed for half a day yesterday, but they didn't discuss how to deal with Zhao and Ding, they just locked them in the ancestral hall to reflect.

We agreed to continue discussing this matter today, it was already almost noon, and Li Zheng hadn't come yet.

At this time, the voice of the patriarch's daughter-in-law Ma Shi came from the courtyard, "Kaitai is here?"

Then came Lizheng's voice: "Aunt Tang, is the patriarch here?"

Ma, the daughter-in-law of the patriarch, is the cousin of Lizheng's daughter-in-law, both surnamed Ma.

"Yes, I've been waiting for you for half the morning."

"Hey, then I'm going in!"

After finishing the words, Lizheng opened the curtain and entered the room, and said with a happy face, "Patriarch, I have thought of how to deal with those two old women of Lao Yang's family!"
