Chapter 30 Changes

Liang Yilin and Liang Yimei looked at the visitor warily. Although Liang Yimu was a little surprised, he politely invited the visitor into the living room.

Li Zheng smiled wryly, he didn't want to come either, but... he looked at the three brothers and sisters of the Liang family and thought to himself, what a pity...

Lizheng coughed lightly, seeing that the three people's attention was on him, Fang took out a piece of paper from his bosom, handed it to Liang Yimu and said: "This is a call for letters from the imperial court..."

Liang Yimu took it over and looked at it, his face changed, they had almost no interaction with Li Zheng in the past few years, it's not that he hadn't thought about his purpose for coming, but he had thought about all kinds of possibilities, but this was the only one he couldn't think of.

Liang Yilin's expression changed even more, he snatched Zhengshu and read it carefully, then threw it on Lizheng's face and said, "You really think our brothers are made of mud?"

Liang Yimei didn't understand what "calling for books" meant, but she also knew it was not a good thing, otherwise her elder brother's complexion wouldn't be so bad, knowing that this was not the time to talk, she had to stand obediently in the corner.

There was a flash of displeasure on Li Zheng's face, but he still said: "This is an order from the imperial court. Anyone who has reached the age of fourteen and has brothers in his family must have one of them go to the army..."

"But my brother hasn't turned fourteen yet!" Liang Yilin interrupted him.

There was a flash of impatience in Li Zheng's eyes, but he still said: "But when your aunt handed it in to the Yamen, she said that your brother's birthday is April [-]th..." This explained the reason.

Liang Yilin's face turned green with anger. Rural people are used to declaring their first child to be older in order to provide for their children. Liang Yimu is not bad. Liang Erlang's report was only two years earlier than Liang Yimu's actual birthday. That's all... Although she didn't speak, Liang Yimei who was standing next to him still felt his trembling.

Liang Yimei felt a pain in her heart, tried her best to suppress the moisture in her eyes, and went to war~ Wars are so dangerous in modern times, let alone ancient battlefields?A glint of haze flashed in her eyes, it seemed that others thought they were soft persimmons and squeezed them!

After Lizheng left, Liang Yimu went to look for Liang Wuye with the petition. Although he was sensible early, there were still many things he didn't understand... Liang Yilin and Liang Yimei followed him step by step, for fear that he would disappear in the blink of an eye.

Liang Wuye also blushed when he saw the book, "One hundred expeditions, one hundred people go to the expedition, maybe only one person will come back alive, your aunt is too cruel, such a vicious method will ruin your life. "

Grandma Fifth sarcastically said: "If there really is a Bodhisattva, how can those people in the Liang family still live well? Isn't it useless for you to talk about these nemesis retribution with Liang Liushi? But I think, although Liang Liushi did this Yes, but it's not her idea, she can't think of such a way yet."

Liang Yimu had doubts for a long time, now that he heard this, he hurriedly said: "I just want to bother Grandpa Fifth to find out, so I can't just go in a daze, I have to know who wrote it! But, I still don't know why the eldest aunt If you can make the decision and hand it over to the Yamen for me, it means that our two families have already separated, and my aunt can't control me here."

Mr. Liang Wu sighed, "Naturally, we can't control ordinary things, but the rules have always been like this. The court advocates filial piety, even the folks do. After all, Mrs. Liang and Liu are your eldest aunts. Before you were adults, There are some things that can be decided, such as your marriage..." Speaking of this, he glanced at Liang Yimei, "I didn't agree with you falling out with her, it was because of Meizi, you brothers are better, but if One day she will propose to Meizi while you are not at home...you can't push it away."

The faces of the three brothers and sisters of the Liang family turned pale. The two brothers of the Liang family didn't understand, and Liang Yimei couldn't believe it. Didn't they have separated?

"I'm going out to inquire now, but," Fifth Master Liang sighed, "I think you already know it."

This incident quickly spread throughout Liangjia Village, overwhelming the news that Liang Yilin had passed the examination as a child student. Everyone agreed that there was more excitement!Liang Yimu is not a vegetarian.At this time, the members of the Liang family didn't expect that this matter was related to them, they just wanted to watch the excitement.

Liang Liu's naturally heard it too, and the gloom overwhelmed by the news of Liang Yilin's passing the boy's exam passed away in a flash, and proudly went to the village to publicize it, and Liang Dalang naturally knew about it soon.

Liang Dalang looked at Liang Liushi with a gloomy face, his heart was boiling hot, his younger brother died, he couldn't keep his younger siblings, in order to survive, he didn't care about the life or death of his nephew and niece, the jokes of the villagers... Scenes flashed before his eyes, he With red eyes, he slapped Liang Liushi to the ground, "Who told you to do this?"

Liang Liushi fell to the ground and looked at Liang Dalang with a ferocious face. She shrank her neck in fear, thought of something, and said on the ground, "You dare to hit me? Liang Dalang, your conscience will be eaten by a dog? I will do this." Isn’t it all for you and the child? He passed the Tongsheng examination, and he will be a scholar next. Can we keep our family’s ten acres of land? Oh, what am I doing this for!…”

Liang Dalang blushed, "These belong to them..."

Mrs. Liang Liu got up from the ground and pushed Liang Dalang, "They think beautifully. Those lands belong to our family. The patriarch said that we have to charge some storage fees for them for the past few years... ..."

Liang Dalang trembled and looked at her sadly. She was not like this before. Although she liked to take advantage of her before, she always spoke ill of her younger siblings, but they were all harmless. But now... when did it start to change?That's right, after the death of the younger brother, the younger brother and sister were sick. I don't know who told her that if the younger brother and sister died, they would take care of the younger brother's property...

Liang Dalang's family is in such a state of desperation, but Liang Patriarch's family is extremely happy. The eldest son of Liang Patriarch came up to him and said, "Father, Liang Yimu is the most used among the three brothers and sisters. We will make plans when he goes out to fight. There is no reason to return the more than ten acres of land that he got, and his two acres of land, pond, and house..."

Patriarch Liang stroked his beard and said, "That house has evil spirits, and it was sold after it was collected. As for the pond... Are you sure you got it right? Is it really that profitable?"

"Really, I saw with my own eyes that Liang Yimu and the others deliver fish to Meimeizhai. That is the biggest restaurant in the county. I heard that every time they deliver fish, they always deliver this amount..."

Patriarch Liang nodded in satisfaction, "That's good, it won't waste us doing so many designs..."

Liang Wuye brought back the exact news, looked at the three and a half-year-old children, and finally suggested: "Why don't you go to the county seat tomorrow to see, it's best to go to the yamen to find out, see if it can be eliminated..." His voice was also a little low.

Liang Yimu smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Grandpa Fifth."

At night, the three brothers and sisters sat facing each other, and none of them could fall asleep. Liang Yimu said with a smile: "Go to bed early, we will go to the county seat tomorrow..."

Liang Yimei's tears flowed down without warning, people's emotions have always been like this, once someone opened their mouth, everything will go with the flow.Liang Yilin's eyes were also red. Seeing his elder brother sitting there emaciated, he couldn't bear it any longer, and leaned over to cry. Liang Yimu couldn't hold back his tears in the end, so he had to hug his younger siblings, suppressing his crying, and silently weeping...

The three wandered around the gate of the county government office, but still couldn't get in. Finally, Liang Yimei reminded them that the three thought of going to Zheng Jue to understand the situation.The three of them inquired all the way, and found the county school through bumps and bumps. Liang Yimu took out a tael of silver to deal with the gatekeeper. He knew that this was not the time to save money.

The gatekeeper looked at the three children in amazement. He didn't expect them to be so generous. He quickly smiled and said, "What's the matter?"

Liang Yimu and others explained the purpose of their visit, and the man smiled and said: "Mr. Zheng is really here, you wait, I will call you." Said and ran away.

After a long time, someone said from a distance: "I think it's because you want to play tricks. Who will look for you at this time? Early in the morning..." Zheng Jue's voice came: "I'm handsome and you Don't be jealous of me, but I also want to know who is looking for me? I don't know that I am composing poems with people..."

For some reason, Liang Yimei burst into anger and yelled: "Uncle Zheng, you are lying again. If you can compose poems, sows can climb trees!"

Zheng Jue staggered and almost fell to the ground. The two people beside him also walked unsteadily. Who is this, dare to talk to Zheng Jue like this?Although the Zheng family is not as powerful as the county magistrate and Qian Wu's family in the county, they are still quite powerful.

Zheng Jue knew who it was as soon as he heard this, looked at his friends beside him, and lamented in his heart, today is really embarrassing, Xiao Meizi doesn't care about any face-saving issues, she will speak up whenever she has something to say ... "Little Meizi, how could you say that about your brother Zheng..." The voice stopped abruptly.

Zheng Jue saw that Liang Yimei's eyes were a little red, and that the two brothers of the Liang family were also a little haggard. After a closer look, all three of them had cried. He asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"

Liang Yimei pursed his lips, Liang Yimu saluted him, and told him the matter. If his sister told him that he didn't know how long it would be, Zheng Jue would be a jumper, and I'm afraid today will be wasted here. , he still has a lot of things to do...

"...I just want to know if there is room for manoeuvre. If there is, I have to ask Brother Zheng for help, but we will pay for it." Speaking of this, Liang Yimu was a little embarrassed, "It's just that Brother Zheng is about to take an exam, I'm afraid It affects you."

Zheng Jue said in a deep voice: "The exam is about my usual accumulation. I haven't done anything these few days. According to you, your birthday is in June?"

Liang Yimu nodded, "Father didn't understand these customs at the beginning, and the master on duty reminded him when he went to report the date. In the end, he even issued another certificate for his father. I don't know if it is useful or not..."

A person beside Zheng Jue said: "Accordingly, the imperial court rarely recruits people who have just turned fourteen, as long as the list is not handed in, it will be fine." At this point, he smiled evilly, "Even if it is handed in, it will be fine." There is a way, just buy the yamen servant to handle the death, or you can spend money to replace it."

Zheng Jue glared at him, and said to Liang Yimu and the others: "You wait for me at Meimei Zhai first, and I will go to inquire about the news."
