Chapter 46

In the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang implemented various systems in order to consolidate his rule.Among them, the Lijia system had the greatest impact on the countryside.Anyone who wants to take the imperial examination must be co-signed as a guarantor.Usually they are Li Chang, Bao Chang and Xiang Xian.

In the south of the Yangtze River, especially in eastern Zhejiang, due to the huge power of the family, the Lijia system gradually fell into disrepair at the end of the Ming Dynasty.The power in the village is in the hands of the family, which is the so-called village sage.And in the south of the Yangtze River, he even got the post of food chief.

Those who have more fields are in charge of supervising and urging food collection.This is a bit like the leader of the Cao Gang. Although he has no official position, he has absolute power over the villagers.In order to avoid suspicion, the Li family voluntarily withdrew, so it was only natural for Ye Qi to become the food chief.

These days, as long as it has something to do with food, it means power.Just like the big and small men of the household department, if the head of the household in the state capital is the local magistrate, then Ye Qi is the local Tai Sui of the post office, and he cannot be easily provoked.

Yang Manyue's family now belongs to the landless, so he wasn't afraid of Ye Qi at all.But now hearing what Chen said, Yang Manyue suddenly felt troubled.

With Ye Qi's temperament, he must make things difficult.Thinking about it this way, it would indeed save a lot of trouble if Wang Zhi admitted that the warehouse was full.After all, when Zhu Yuanzhang implemented the Lijia system, he also thought about the problem of too much power for one person.The 110 households are organized into a mile, and 10 of them are the head of the mile. Even if Ye Qi becomes the head of the mile, she can ask others to go.

Thinking about it, they are not monolithic, so some money can always solve the problem, the key is to have Wang Zhi's approval.After all, how could a foreign gentleman be as famous as Wang Zhi?He sent a word, and with some silver, he would be able to take the exam with a full warehouse.

Thinking of this, Yang Manyue nodded, "Daughter is negligent, or mother is thoughtful."

Mrs. Chen sighed, shook her head, and said: "Although it is much more relaxed now than before, this imperial examination is a grand ceremony for the country's talents, and it must not be sloppy. Even if we go to Ningbo, Mancang's native place is still here. I also forgot about this before, unless we can find someone with energy and get the household registration, otherwise we will be restrained by the Ye family."

Yang Manyue narrowed her eyes, thought for a while, nodded, and said, "Let Mancang read the book first, and then find a way if it really makes things difficult for my daughter."

"Well, that's all I can do..."

"Aniang, sister, if you want to embarrass me, I will stop studying."

Mancang interrupted suddenly, with a sad face on his face, "My sister also taught me how to read, so it's good if I can read."

"How can you think that way?"

Yang Manyue patted him on the head, and said: "Isn't the Ye family bullying us because our father failed to win the exam? If dad wins the exam, even though he died, there are still many classmates, how dare he bully us like this? Mancang, this It's a world where everything is inferior and only studies are high, and my sister and mother will rely on you to protect them in the future!"

"I, I can join the army too!"

Mancang suddenly raised his head and said: "Brother-in-law is very powerful. At worst, I will join the army. There are very few people in the army who can read and write. My sister and I study hard. If I don't take the exam for fame, I will become a general. In the future, I will be able to be a leader." .”

"Silly boy!"

When Chen heard this, she became anxious, "You are the only seedling of our Yang family, and you have to work hard to go to the battlefield. Look at your brother-in-law, what a pretty face, just because of the war. Incomplete. You can't go, the incense of the Yang family has to rely on you."

The corner of Yang Manyue's mouth twitched, and she shed two lines of tears silently: "It's each brother-in-law, is this really good?"
He touched Mancang's head and said: "Not pedantic, he is a good boy. But you have to give it a try, don't you like reading? Don't go out for a few days, sister can teach you something at home, then you can also Make a face in front of Mr. Wang, maybe I will accept you."

"It's a good feeling."

Mrs. Chen nodded again and again, "It's not good for a girl like you to be outside all the time. Anyway, we only sell one fire now, and we can make it at home."

Yang Manyue smiled and said: "The person who came to smash the scene yesterday reminded me. Now the weather is hot, mother, when you come back today, go find someone to buy some fish scales, and then buy some pork skin, and cucumbers... now The broad beans are growing just right, and if you get some more broad beans, it's time to make some cold dishes, and it's good to serve wine to people."

Mrs. Chen nodded, "All of these can be done at home, so don't go out these two days, and teach your younger brother well at home, so you can't embarrass your father."

"Hey, I'll save it, mother, be careful on the road!"

"Hey, I see..."

Watching Chen's departure, Yang Manyue walked towards home holding Mancang's little hand.After walking a few steps, I saw a person coming up ahead. Man Yue took a look, ah, isn't that Ye Meier, the granddaughter of Ye Qi's family?
The nose was not a nose, the eyes were not eyes, and the face was as long as a donkey, as if he owed her a lot of money.

Mancang involuntarily grasped Man Yue's hand, but in his memory, this girl who was many years older than him often bullied him.In the past, he couldn't figure it out. They were all human beings. What did he do to make this sister bully him all the time?

But recently he has gradually understood.

After all, it was because his family had no man in charge and was poor, so they bullied him.

I can't tell the specific reason, but when my brother-in-law came that day, they didn't dare to bully others, so he felt that it was because of poverty and weakness.Some people in this world just like to bully the weak to get satisfaction.

"What are you doing shrinking?"

Seeing that her younger brother was nervous, Yang Manyue frowned and said, "Could it be that my sister can't protect you? Also, Mancang, the more you love others, the more they will bully you. If you don't love her, she will be afraid of you if you are more arrogant than her. Give it to my sister." Raise your head and show the momentum of that time!"

Mancang was encouraged by his sister, remembering that time when he chased after Mrs. Ye and the others with pokers, he also had some courage.

Indeed, as long as he is fierce enough, others will be afraid of him.

"People can't be reckless, they have to be strategic, and they have to be serious. But if you don't even have the courage to be reckless, then you deserve to be trampled under your feet."

His sister's voice came slowly, like a seed planted in Mancang's heart, he clenched his fist involuntarily, raised his head and stared back fiercely.

Ye Meier had already approached, and when she saw Mancang staring at her, she immediately scolded, "Yang Mancang, how dare you stare at me?"

Yang Manyue didn't speak, she just looked at her younger brother.

This child is used to being bullied by them, so he is actually a little timid.Although it's not good to be strong and ruthless, if a man's family loses even the basic blood, how will he behave in the future?

"If you don't look at me, how do you know I'm staring at you?!"

Yang Mancang is actually very smart, and his tongue is quite sharp, as if he was encouraged by his sister, he choked Ye Meier when he opened his mouth.

Ye Meier stared wide-eyed, with a look of hell on her face, and suddenly her face turned blue again, pointing at Mancang and cursing: "You bastard, bah, shameless thing! Who looked at you? Who looked at you? I don’t even bother to see the little bastard your mother gave birth to with a wild man!”

"You are a bastard!"

When Mancang heard that Ye Meier scolded his mother again, he immediately squatted down, picked up a lump of dirt on the ground and threw it over.

"Snapped!"

Ye Meier was caught off guard, and she was thrown all over her face. Although it didn't hurt very much, her face was blurred, and she immediately screamed.

Her shout attracted some villagers, but when they saw that it was Yang Manyue, they didn't dare to meddle in other people's business, so they immediately shrank back in fright.

No matter how powerful Ye Qi is, can he beat that killing god? !

Yang Manyue is Leng Houye's wife, who would dare to provoke her?

Yang Manyue held Mancang's hand, and didn't listen to Ye Meier's cries at all.

His mouth is so vicious at such a young age, he has to learn a lesson.

Seeing Yang Manyue approaching, Ye Mei'er had no expression on her face. She didn't know what she thought of, but she backed away step by step, with fear on her face.

After all, she was a little girl, and Yang Manyue left her with terrible memories of the last confrontation. She actually yelled "Wow" and ran away in fright.

"Sister, it's really, really useful!"

Mancang was excited, waving his small fists and said: "This Ye Meier is bad, she always bullies people, today I am fiercer than her, she really ran away!"

Yang Manyue laughed, touched her younger brother's head, and said, "But Mancang, if you meet her alone in the future, I'd better walk around."

"what!"

The excited Mancang looked confused, "Why?"

"Fool!"

Yang Manyue tapped his little head, and said: "She left today, not because she was afraid of you, but because she was afraid of me. You and I are alone, and now everyone in the village thinks that I am going to marry Lord Leng , so I dare not come out to meddle in business. If you are alone, unless you are forced to a dead end, you must not fight against her, understand? We have to pay attention to strategy."

As Yang Manyue said, she analyzed all the powerful relationships here, and she nodded her head over and over again.Although I don't understand it very well, I feel very powerful.Elder sister is capable, in short, it is always right to listen to elder sister.

After this little episode, Yang Manyue took her younger brother home, and in the yard, she used twigs to draw on the ground to teach her younger brother how to read.

Not to mention the siblings, but Fifth Master Liu was so angry that his nose turned crooked when he heard the reward and looked at the pile of rotten fish intestines.

After wandering around the rivers and lakes for many years, he was actually slapped in the face by a yellow-haired girl, how could he bear it?
Now, regardless of whether she was entrusted by someone or not, she immediately called someone over, ready to give this little girl some color.

It's just that this little girl is from Leng Houye after all, obviously smashing the stall is definitely not acceptable, so she has to think of another way.Ever since, Ye Qi became the guest of honor.

Know yourself and know your enemy.

Hooligans also pay attention to strategy these days.

Ye Qi was naturally delighted, and after making a statement, he pinched his goatee and said, "Fifth Master, it's definitely not okay to come here, our money inspection is fair, and we must interfere if we make trouble on his territory. Look, old man, if we don't let the lady of the Yang family do some good deeds, it will also give her a good reputation."

Liu Wu was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, looking at Ye Qi, he couldn't help nodding his head, "As expected of the head of the post-career, those who have studied are different from us old men. Well, that's a good idea!"

A gleam of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Little mother, if you dare to be angry with grandpa and don't give you a lesson, is he easy to bully?!"
