Chapter 273: Calculation

After this toss, it was not early. Liu's lady and Xue Yanniang arranged a simple meal. It's just that after this big drama of being drugged and bound, now the two groups of Zhongyi Four Heroes and the Mo Family are in an embarrassing situation with each other, and they are naturally far less harmonious than when Xia Zisu and the others first stayed together. Everyone at the table was immersed in food and talked less.

Only Yan Hong thought that the big thing had been decided, and his eyebrows danced. He deliberately ignored the Ziqing Shuangxia, but talked and laughed with Xue Yanniang, or greeted the Liu family, or talked to Mo Xingzu about the half-hung man's way of civil and martial arts. After everyone had eaten, they were divided into separate rooms to rest.

As soon as Yan Hong arrived in the house, he saw Mo Qing'er also walking in, looking at him with a shy face, and couldn't help but be secretly shocked: Could it be that this little girl can't wait? Now to ask for a knockdown? This is a good thing, but in my heart, I don't mean it, if I can replace her second mother, it would be the best. Speaking of which, she has also had a dewy marriage, why didn't she come to spend a good night with her?

When Mo Qing'er saw Yan Hong looking at her, she was even more shy, and she didn't even dare to raise her head, but just whispered: "Xianggong, my mother said, you have the grace to recreate my Mo family." Today, Qing'er is your concubine, and she should wait for her husband to sleep. It's just that now the slave family is still mourning, and if it's inconvenient, I hope that the husband won't be angry. If you insist on not allowing it, Qing'er will stay here and serve you, and it doesn't matter. ”

Yan Hong listened, couldn't help but increase his forehead with his hand, and said in his heart: Good Liu, do you have to stuff your daughter into Yan's mansion. In his mind, the good wife and mother who was willing to sacrifice for her daughter in the original Jiaofang Division had transformed into those philistine women who did not hesitate to push their daughters into the fire pit in the traditional commentary.

What kind of world is this? But in front of Qing'er, Yan Hong couldn't change his face, so he had to comfort him with kind words: "There is nothing to do, there is nothing to do, and this son is not angry." Qing'er, you are still young now, wait for a few years and grow into a big girl, let's talk about it, by the way, be careful of the two brothers of the Zeng family, those two are not good people. ”

Mo Qing'er suddenly raised her head and asked, "In that case, the Xianggong will really marry me and not dislike me?" ”

Looking at this innocent little girl, Yan Hong couldn't harden his heart after all, so he had to say vaguely: "Ah, that's good." Qing'er, you are a good girl, I will not dislike you. "I always avoided the topic of marrying or not marrying.

Qing'er smiled and said: "Sure enough, Xianggong is a good person, so Xianggong won't shirk the matter of Xingzu's younger brother?" ”

Although a little girl was inexplicably issued a good person card, Yan Hong didn't take it to heart. But when I heard Brother Xingzu, I thought, I haven't really agreed to marry you yet, and I want to bring a brother who drags oil bottles over? He asked, "What's the matter with your brother Xingzu?" ”

Qing'er said: "Brother Xingzu has now left his humble background, and he can walk on the right path in the future and glorify the lintel of my Mo family." His mother wanted him to study. There is only one Lao Xiu in this Mojia village who only lectures, and according to my aunt, that knowledge is also very usual. Xingzu's younger brother studied with him for more than half a year, and his growth was limited. Looking back at the matter of going to school, there will be a lot of work. ”

Only then did Yan Hong understand why Liu Niangzi did everything possible to push Qing'er to herself like dealing with the backlog of goods, and Xue Yanniang also beat the side drum on one side. It turns out that this is the problem.

The so-called enrollment refers to entering the county's public school, the county school. And the county school is not something you want to enter. When Confucian children enter the county school, they must take an examination presided over by the county magistrate himself. Those who pass the test will be allowed to enter the county school, which is called "enrollment". After entering the school, it is to become a "student", which is commonly called Xiucai.

In the Ming Dynasty, Xiucai represented the grassroots of the ruling class that broke away from the general public. Xiucai can not only be exempted from the forced labor of the three members of the family, but also enjoy the government's subsidized food and non-staple food. Xiucai entered the county yamen, so he didn't have to be beaten. If Mo Xingzu can really enter the school and become a talent, the Mo family can be said to have regained the hope of revitalization.

If he accepted Mo Qing'er as a concubine, then Mo Xingzu would borrow the power of the Yan family. Unless the local county officials meet the best people like Hai Rui or Lin Yangqian, they will never dare to hinder their cheap brother-in-law's enrollment. It seems that people's hearts are unpredictable, and LOLI is not so simple.

However, this Mo Xingzu is only eight years old this year, is it too early to want to be a showman? Yan Hong thought of the gossip he heard, his own teacher Zhang Juzheng, what a genius he was, he was a prodigy since he was a child, he was a talent in the twelve-year-old examination, and the province was already shocked at that time. Although you can make up for it with your own face, you Xiao Mo always have to have a little foundation. It's better not to joke about the school system of the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Yan Hong waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can go out, Xingzu's affairs are on me." However, at the age of eight, I wanted to go to the county school, which was too early. You better let him find a better private school to study first and lay a good foundation. If the gentleman here doesn't know how to teach, he will go to the neighboring village and find a good one. It's really inconvenient, so you can invite one yourself. Wait until you are fourteen or fifteen years old, and then take the county school exam. Otherwise, even if you go in, you will be ashamed to laugh. If there's a shortage of money, just come to me. ”

Qing'er hurriedly saluted and said: "Thank you Xianggong, last time Xianggong and Governor Lu gave a lot of silver, and there was no shortage in terms of expenses." When she got out of the room, Qing'er thought to herself: It seems that what my mother said is not right, although Yan Hong's eldest son didn't let me stay with him, it was still good to my family. In this way, with his help, the whole family will move back to Beijing in the future, and it will be just around the corner.

In the room on the other side, Xia Zisu and Zhang Qingyan gradually recovered their strength, knowing that the effect of the medicine was about to pass. The two of them meditated cross-legged, secretly lucked their internal strength, and their true qi went back and forth in the second vein of Ren Du for dozens of weeks. Suddenly, Xia Zisu let out a soft whistle, the voice was not high, but it spread through the courtyard, and then stood up. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his eyes were full of energy, and he had expelled all the medicinal properties of the immortal drunkenness.

Zhang Qingyan was exercising, when he heard the whistling, he opened his eyes and said, "Senior sister is so powerful, she has dispelled all the drugs." ”

Xia Zisu nodded and said, "Exactly." Now that my strength has recovered seventy percent, I want to do it again tomorrow morning, and I can recover all of them. Senior sister, your internal strength is slightly inferior to mine, don't be in a hurry, and continue to work here, wait for me to beat that Yan Hong, out of today's evil breath. ”

Zhang Qingyan was slightly stunned: "Senior sister, we have made a three-year covenant with Yan Hong, but how can you ......" Xia Zisu said proudly: "The three-year covenant only says that you can't kill each other, but it doesn't say that you can't beat him." Don't worry, I only pick up the important places, and hit him with a blue nose and swollen face, which will not disable him. This guy used three indiscriminate drugs to harm my sister, and laughed at us so much, how can he be calm if he doesn't beat him? "I'm going to go out.

Zhang Qingyan hurriedly said: "Senior sister, slow down." This Mo family is Yan Hong's party, but they are afraid that there is another ambush in the house. Senior sister went alone, I didn't feel at ease, and I haven't recovered my skills now, and I'm a little scared when I'm here. I also ask my sister to protect the Dharma for me here. ”

Xia Zisu said: "Senior sister, you have suffered such twists and turns today, why are you so timid." You're not at a life-and-death juncture, but you're just exercising your skills to drive away the residual medicine, what kind of Dharma protection do you want? ”

The two were talking, and suddenly someone knocked on the door. Xia Zisu stepped forward and opened the door, only to see that it was Xue Yanniang entering.

With the matter of taking medicine during the day, Xia and Zhang Ernu naturally have no good impression of her. Xia Zisu raised his eyebrows and said, "Qiu, what are you doing here?" We have promised Yan Hong that if you don't come to embarrass you, you don't know what to do. ”

Xue Yanniang smiled slightly, unaware of Xia Zisu's sternness. She was still the same as before, Yingying walked into the house, sat down by herself, and then said: "Two women, don't you want to know Lu Dao, why will I help Yan Hong deal with you?" ”

Xia Zisu sneered: "The woman from Qin Huaihe and the Jiaofang Division helped the children of traitorous ministers to harm others, why do you bother to ask for something?" ”

Zhang Qingyan said: "Sister Qiu, with my little sister's random speculation, that Yan Hong came to teach the Fang Division that day, since you have preserved the innocence of Aunt Liu and Qing'er, you are naturally willing to sacrifice." This Yan Hong is a noble son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he is handsome, since the two of you have a spring breeze, it is not surprising that you have secret feelings. What Xiaomei said, is it right or not? ”

Zhang Qingyan's guess, although there are a lot of mistakes, there are also a few mistakes in the right place. Rao is Xue Yanniang has been through the dust for a long time, and she can't help blushing slightly. Na Xia Zisu had already scolded: "Mo Huaigu assassinated the traitorous minister, what a man who stood up to the sky. I don't want his surviving person to do this shameless thing for a man to steal and prostitute a woman! ”

Xue Yanniang smiled slightly: "It's wrong." When Yan Gongzi took the three of us out of the Teaching Workshop Division, I, Xue Yan, were innocent. Two heroines, now, I will tell you two more about the situation that day. ”

In the early morning of the next day, Yan Hong was called up by Xingzu. The age difference between the two is more than ten years, but they are quite compatible. Speaking of yesterday's study, Mo Xingzu said with a sad face: "Brother-in-law, I still want to be like my father, wearing brocade clothes, and I don't want to study for the exam." ”

Yan Hong turned his face and said, "Don't scream, when will I become your brother-in-law." This can't be shouted. It's better to call it big brother. According to my eldest brother, Xingzu still studies hard first. Now in this Celestial Empire, everything is inferior, only reading is high. Whatever you do in the future, you have to read good books first. Even if you want to enter Jinyiwei, you have to read well. The well-informed Jinyi Wei is also easy to be promoted and do big things. ”

Xingzu nodded and said, "Then I will listen to my brother-in-law's arrangement, so let's go to breakfast with me." ”

Yan Hong resisted the urge to beat this kid and beat him, and followed him to the living room. Seeing that everyone was already seated, Xia Zisu saw him come in, and even nodded slightly, which was regarded as saying hello to himself. Although this nodding action was so subtle that it was almost impossible to see it, Yan Hong was overjoyed when he saw it. Even with this not very delicious breakfast, it was very delicious. The rice porridge in the pot actually served three bowls in a row.
