Chapter 32 Gossip vs Gossip

Might is truth.

I am your husband, I can make you stand in class for a day without reason, but you have to endure it as long as you want to study.This is a kind of power.

Chen Hu is Chen Huai's grandson, and he must have slandered Yue Shan under Chen Huai's instructions.

Although the four village elders did not have the power of ordinary squires, they were people who wandered on the fringes of the officialdom after all, and they were not something ordinary people like Feng Yi could provoke.They may not be able to do anything to the Feng family, it's definitely okay to make you feel uncomfortable.

Moreover, Feng Yi is still young, so his father Feng Luokung will bear the responsibility for the disaster he caused.Before you have the ability to take responsibility, at least don't cause trouble or cause less trouble.

This is what Yue Shan taught Feng Yi.

What surprised him was that Feng Yi, who was only eight or nine years old, really wanted to understand this truth.Maybe it's because children of this era start to experience suffering too early, Yue Shan thought.

At the same time, he also loves Feng Yi a little more.

Afterwards, Yue Shan started a day of teaching. This morning he did not teach new characters, but asked children with different surnames to exchange their surnames.This not only saves my own time, but also allows children to recognize three more characters.

In the afternoon, Yue Shan told the children to learn by themselves, reviewing and consolidating the words taught in the previous few days, and he himself went to Caotan Town.

Regardless of whether Chen Hu's words were unintentional or due to Chen Huai's instructions, Yue Shan will not take it lightly.Living in the Internet age, he understands the truth that one word makes money better than the ancients.

If Chen Huaizhen uses his reluctance to go to the school to teach because he thinks that there are too few Shu Xius, so that the village school cannot be built, it will really bring him some troubles.

After all, not all the villagers will consider from his standpoint, most people will choose to ignore the salary issue, and only remember that Yueshan's refusal to teach made their children unable to study.

Besides, three hundred cash is already a huge sum of money for these poor families.It is estimated that more than 50.00% of the families with the four surnames Ping have never owned so much cash at one time.

It doesn't matter whether Chen Huai really intends to use this excuse to slander him. After Chen Hu said those words, Yue Shan had to fight back.

Believing that others just say what they say in a moment is tantamount to sitting and waiting for death, Yue Shan is not this kind of person, he has already thought of a way to fight back.

The best way to deal with gossip is to create a more topical kind of gossip.He came to Caotan Town to find a suitable person to spread this rumor.

This is also where he despises Chen Huai. It is the correct posture to find an irrelevant person to spread rumors, let his own grandson do this... for fear that others will not know that he did it.

When I came to Yueshan, Caotan Town, I went straight to the warehouse and found Zhou Shangyun. After exchanging greetings, I pulled him and whispered.

The more you listen to the expression on Zhou Shangyun's face, the more exciting it becomes. Finally, he looked back and forth at the boy in front of him with amazed eyes.

What kind of monster is this, why does he always break my perception of genius every time I see him?Zhou Shangyun couldn't help thinking.

After considering the pros and cons, he agreed to the matter.Isn't it just a few vague words casually, why not do it if you can make friends with this promising young man in front of you without any loss.

As for whether someone will be unlucky because of this, it has nothing to do with him.

Seeing that he agreed to come down, Yue Shan was also very happy, and after a few polite words, he turned and left.He wanted to return home quickly while the weather was still early.

What if someone beats him up when he goes home late when he goes to a sparsely populated place?He knew who did it but couldn't find any evidence, so he could only suffer from being dumb.

In his previous life, Yue Shan had done similar things when he was studying, how could he not be on his guard at this time.

Looking at Yue Shan's back, Zhou Shangyun's heart was also very complicated.

He liked the innocent Yueshan before, but felt that he was more suitable for investing in him now.I don't know how long Princess Qin's favor will last, maybe it will disappear tomorrow.

Yue Shan had to grab enough benefits before her interest disappeared so as not to waste this opportunity.Can a boy like a white lotus do this?Obviously not.

But the scheming he just showed has a good chance.

Even Zhou Shangyun wondered whether his encounter with King Qin was a coincidence or a human creation.

"Zhou Jishi, Zhou Jishi?" Just as he was thinking about it, he was suddenly awakened by a slightly sharp voice.

Hearing this voice, Zhou Shangyun frowned habitually, and hated the owner of the voice from the bottom of his heart: "Grandma Li, are you here to buy rice? Ah Da, Ah Da, what are you doing? Didn't you see someone buying rice? "

The person who came was a woman in her fifties with heavy make-up, a basket hanging on one arm and a handkerchief in the other.As if she didn't see the disgust of others towards her, she made a sound like a rooster crowing:

"What is Zhou Jishi thinking? I called you several times but I didn't hear you. Did you fall in love with a girl? Tell me, and I'll help you make a deal. Don't worry, I won't charge your matchmaker money." , as long as I come to buy rice, you can give me a little more."

Zhou Shangyun couldn't help but want to punch her old face when she heard it. My son is about to get married and you match me up. Are you insane?

Just as he was about to coax her away, Yue Shan's figure suddenly appeared in his mind, and he suddenly had an idea.Zhengchou how to spread the rumors, isn't this the most suitable candidate?

So he suppressed his nausea and pretended to be emotional, "Grandma Li was joking, I don't have that kind of thought. I'm just lamenting that people's hearts are not old. Some people ignore the interests of the whole village for their own selfish desires."

Upon hearing the gossip news, Granny Li's small eyes suddenly lit up, and she said excitedly, "Really? Could it be that someone in our town was arrested for taking money?"

Zhou Shangyun's face changed drastically and he hurriedly looked around, only to find that there was no one else, he was relieved, and then sternly shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about? Can you afford to offend all the superiors?"

Granny Li didn't think so, but she kept apologizing: "Yes, yes, look at my mouth, it's nonsense... Zhou Jishi, what's going on, tell me about it. You know my mouth , who is notoriously strict, will never tell a third person."

The corner of Zhou Shangyun's mouth twitched a few times, cursing in his heart that your mouth is so strict that you really must have seen hell.You will not tell the third person, you will tell the fifth, six, seven or eighty-nine people at once.

He pretended to be hesitant, and reluctantly said under the repeated urging of Granny Li: "I can tell you, but you must not tell others. Also, if something happens, don't bite me. I'll take you out of this door." I won't admit to having said anything to you."

"Don't worry, Zhou Jishi, I haven't been to the warehouse today and I haven't seen you." Granny Li said.

"The county lord is a scholar who attaches great importance to education and politics, so he wanted to build a school in a village in our town. As a result, the money was swallowed up by a few village elders. In order to perfuse the county lord, they actually wanted to find a ten-year-old My child will be my husband, and I will give that child Shu Xiu three hundred Wen a year." Zhou Shangyun said in a low voice.

"Ah? Those old bastards who are devoid of conscience, even dare to move the money for studying politics, aren't they afraid of harming their morality?" Granny Li said indignantly: "Three hundred coins a year, tsk tsk... every gentleman in our Li family school Every month there are Shuxiu with four consecutive big money."

"Zhou Jishi, which village's old man are you from?" After reprimanding, Granny Li asked again with a gossip.

"It's four..." At this point Zhou Shangyun suddenly stopped, and then his face was full of remorse, and his tone became bad: "Why are you asking so many questions, hurry up and go away."

"Oh, Zhou Jishi, don't be in a hurry, tell me which village you are in first. Hey, hey, why are you kicking out people? I haven't bought my rice yet... Hey hey..."

Pushing Granny Li out of the warehouse, Zhou Shangyun returned to the lobby angrily, and when he reached the door, he tripped over the threshold and almost fell down.

From Granny Li's point of view, his behavior meant that he said something he shouldn't have said and regretted it, which made her even more convinced that what he said was true.

The nature of gossip made her wish to tell the news to her neighbors immediately, she couldn't even bother to buy rice right now, and rushed to the crowded place with a small basket on her shoulders.

As he walked, he wondered which village's old man was so bold that he even dared to covet the county lord's money.Zhou Jishi seems to have said the word "four". Which village has the first word "four"?
This era is very closed, and ordinary people may not be able to guess which village it is based on a single word.But Granny Li is a well-known matchmaker, and she knows all the villages from ten li and eight villages, so she immediately thought of the four surname Ping.

The fourth surname is Ping, it must be the fourth surname Ping.There is only one village in our town with four characters.Granny Li clapped her hands, proud of her wit.

Then she began to think about who the elders in this village were, and whether they had any interest in her, and she couldn't provoke them.

Don't look at her being stupid, but she is not stupid at all. She can survive in this small area in the north of Chang'an County for decades, so she naturally has her survival wisdom.Never mess with people who shouldn't be messed with, this is her principle.

Soon the figures of Chen Huai and the others appeared in her mind, and she knew that these four people had just migrated here, and they had no influence in the local area and had nothing to do with her.

Then don't worry, you can say whatever you want.

This news will definitely shock everyone's eyeballs and make him stand out.The old woman on Qianjie actually wanted to steal the limelight from me, this time I will let you know how many eyes Prince Ma has.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help speeding up her pace.

Yue Shan didn't know that Zhou Shangyun had spread the rumors so quickly, he went all the way through crowded places without stopping, and returned to the village as fast as he could.

It was only when I came under the big mulberry tree that I breathed a sigh of relief.

After resting for a while, he entered the teacher's state, began to check everyone's self-study situation, and personally guided those students who were less advanced.

But he didn't know that at this moment, a letter was sent from the warehouse in Caotan Town, and was handed all the way to the residence of Gao Shilian, the governor of Yongzhou.

In the evening, when Gao Shilian returned home and saw the letter, he couldn't help but stroked his beard and showed a meaningful smile, then called his followers and said:
"Send this letter to King Qin's mansion, either to King Qin or Princess Wang. Remember, it must be handed over to the two of you."

After receiving the letter, he rushed to Qin Wangfu without stopping, and happened to meet Li Shimin who was about to go out at the door.

Li Shimin showed a surprised expression after reading the letter, as if he couldn't believe what was written in it, but he was convinced that Gao Shilian would not lie to him.

I read the letter again, and when I read it halfway through, I seemed to see something interesting, and I couldn't help laughing, and at the same time, there was a complacent expression on my face.

And this passage seemed to make him make up his mind, and called the guards to make arrangements like this.That night, a group of guards changed into plain clothes and disappeared into the night.

On the second day, that is, the third day after the turmoil of apprenticeship, the news that Yue Shan did not want to come to the village school to be a teacher spread throughout the village.

However, these news did not have any impact on him, no one pointed at him behind his back, let alone condemned him.Everyone seems to have not heard, what to do.

Even Yue Shan found this situation strange.Shouldn't everyone condemn him when they hear the rumors?After inquiring, he got a dumbfounding answer, the problem still lies in his age.

Who would blame a ten-year-old for not wanting to go to school and be a teacher?Never before.

In other words, Yue Shan didn't do anything, and the local offensive was disintegrated.

Yue Shan reckoned that the expressions on Chen Huai's and the others' faces when they heard the news must be wonderful.

But after that, he became even more vigilant, and he had to guard against things like jumping over the wall and so on.

The fourth day was calm and nothing happened.

The rumors that smeared him were regarded as a joke after dinner, and there were five or six more children sent to Yueshan to study than yesterday.

And the rumors he fabricated have not yet spread to the village.

On the fifth day, nothing happened. The four elders continued to be busy looking for political achievements, and the villagers worked overtime to work in the fields.

Thanks to the "dominant" of Mr. Era and the studiousness of the students, Yue Shan's teaching work has become more and more handy.

Just when everyone thought that things were over like this, something happened on the sixth day that caused a sensation in Sixingping... No, to be precise, it should be a sensation in the whole world.

A group of envoys from the imperial court arrived at the door of Yue Shan's house.
