Chapter 1
Chang Le was woken up, his head was pricked by countless needles, making him unable to think, and staring at the top of the mosquito net with a blank expression.
The voices of people outside the room were loud, and every sentence and word clearly entered Chang Le's ears.
"This can't be left that way! Their Qian family can't be so unconscionable, oh, at the beginning, they saw that our family's joy was promising, so they begged for it, but now they see that the joy is not good, so they kick people away, and there are no people who do this! ”
"That's it, third brother, this marriage is a big deal, how can something happen and just break it? Their daughters don't want a reputation, but our Chang family can't be bullied! Now this matter is not only a matter of your family, but a major matter related to our entire Chang family and even the entire Taoyuan Village! When Xile was admitted to Xiucai, how many girls in our village wanted to marry Xile, if it weren't for the sincerity of their Qian family, how could we Xile look down on their family. Now their Qian family says that if they quit their relatives, they will quit their relatives, although Xile is a kid, and they will die or live if they quit like their daughters, but this is not a good sound. ”
"Third child, you can't be confused about this, if it weren't for the Qian family's retreat, where would Xile be so sick. Their Qian family dares to be so merciful, we can't let them live in peace! Now that the joy has become like this, it is just time to marry the girl of the Qian family, and it may be okay! ”
The two brothers, Chang Lao Er and Chang Lao Si, bombarded Chang Lao San who was silent repeatedly, and they never stopped as soon as they entered the door. They are all big people with grandchildren, but they can't hold their breath when they encounter this kind of thing. Chang Xile is the most promising person in their Chang clan and even Taoyuan Village, and now they are very distressed by the big crime. Although they have already separated and should not meddle in the affairs of other families, no one will stand idly by if something big happens.
"Third sister-in-law, you have to persuade the third brother, you can't be wronged by this child." Seeing that the third elder was silent, Mrs. Wu, the fourth wife, turned her attention to his wife, the old lady and grandmother who was often happy. She didn't say a word in hiding, and getting a new daughter-in-law would not let the joy vein break the incense, and Chang Xile's current appearance is afraid that she won't live long. But this is really unlucky, too poignant.
The grandmother-in-law, who is usually spicy, is like a wilted crop at this time, sobbing and not speaking. She didn't know what her son's situation was, she thought that a better day was coming, but when she was rushing, she suddenly fell down and was worse than before, who could have thought about it.
Chang Laosan's family all shrank aside and did not say anything, and at this time, there was no part for them juniors to speak.
Boss Chang, who had been silent, spoke at this time, "Third brother, our brothers are here today, you can give a sentence and tell me what you think about this room." If you can't make up your mind, I, the big brother, will be the master. Our Chang family has never suffered such a big loss since we settled in this Taoyuan Village, so we can't just forget it. ”
Chang Laosan sighed deeply, "Big brother, we appreciate your kindness, but now that your relatives have withdrawn, don't make any more noise." ”
As soon as these words fell, everyone present was not happy.
Chang Laosi had the most grumpy temper, and jumped up directly, "Third brother, what are you talking about, it is also their Qian family who is faceless in publicizing this kind of thing!" If it weren't for the joy and justice for us, who would be rare for that girl! We rejoice in such good talents, and there are many girls to marry. At the beginning, their Qian family wanted to marry us happily, but now they turn their faces and don't recognize people when something happens, and they don't do anything like this. Xile was only thirteen years old at the time, and according to the rules of our Taoyuan Village, the boy was at least sixteen years old before he became married. ”
Chang Lao Er: "Third child, don't you dare to seek justice for Xi Le because you are afraid." The Qian family is rich and what is the county, there are dozens of people up and down in our Chang family. And the people in the village have said, as soon as you speak, we will make trouble in the city! Joy is the baby bump of our Taoyuan Village, and it is not allowed to be bullied by others at will. Besides, even if Joy can't take the scientific examination in the future, he still has a meritorious reputation, and he can't just be messed with by anyone! ”
Chang Xisheng, the second eldest in the three-room family, saw that his parents were silent, and saw that several uncles became more and more excited the more they talked, and a bunch of onlookers outside the house echoed and said they wanted to help from time to time, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Uncle, second uncle, fourth uncle, it's not that my father doesn't want to give joy a head, it's that Xile said before that." ”
Except for the people in the third room of the Chang family, everyone else stared wide-eyed, and Chang Boss asked, "Did Joy really say that?" ”
Chang Laosan sighed deeply, "This kid has always had the right idea, saying that since there is no fate, don't force it, the twisted melon is not sweet." ”
Grandma Sun couldn't help crying at this time, "This kid is like that, and he is still thinking about that girl, saying that these are all the ideas of the money master, and it has nothing to do with that girl, and she can't hurt that girl, if this thing gets out, then the girl won't be able to see people in the future." My son, why are you so miserable! It's all this time, you are still thinking about others, who will feel sorry for you! ”
Hearing these words, the people who were originally indignant were deflated, and what could they do if the parties said so. Although Chang Xile is not very old, he is a talented man, and no one will treat what he says as a child's joke. I wanted to give Chang Xile a head before, but it was also because I heard that Chang Xile was more sick because of being retired, but I thought about getting justice for him. Now that they know that Chang Xile is this attitude, they are not easy to disobey, and they are angry again.
"Hey, this kid is a loving person." Boss Chang shook his head and sighed.
"If it weren't for this, how could the people in our village make enough effort to let him go out to study and take the exam, I originally thought that this kid would make our village better after he came out, but now he has encountered such a thing......"
"God, I can't see our Taoyuan Village!"
The deity didn't want to make trouble, so the others rested, muttered a few more words and went home. Before leaving, don't forget to tell them if there is anything, don't forget to call them, and the noisy yard will be deserted again. Since Chang Xile was injured, the third room of the Chang family has been shrouded in dark clouds, and even the youngest baby does not dare to make a noise.
And at this time, Chang Le's head gradually became clearer, and the original Chang Xile was no longer there, replaced by Chang Le. Although it is only a word difference, they are two completely different people.
Let's talk about the original body Chang Xile first, he is a well-known genius boy. At the age of twelve, he was admitted to the children's school, and at the age of thirteen, he was admitted to Xiucai, and he was still the head of the case that year. Don't say that there are nine and a half out of ten illiterate Taoyuan villages, even if they are placed in the county, they have to give a thumbs up.
Many people tacitly accept that if it weren't for Chang Xile's young age, coupled with the shyness of his pocket, he would like to go to the countryside to test after he is more sure, and he may already be a master by now. Although it is only one step different from lifting people and showing talents, how many people stop here, but according to Chang Xile's ability, many people are full of confidence in him. After all, a country boy from a poor mountain and remote area, who has not read a book for a few days, was admitted to Xiucai in one fell swoop at a young age, who is not optimistic about such talent.
It is precisely because of this that the Qian family will try their best to marry their daughter to Chang Xile, it doesn't matter if she is young, she will not suffer a loss after settling down first. But who would have thought that the sky was jealous of talents, Chang Xile fell off the horse and landed on his face. Although he saved a life, he had a deep scar on his face, from his forehead to the base of his right ear, and other large and small scars covered his face like spider webs, which directly disfigured him. Not only that, but the right hand is also useless, although it is not completely crippled, but in the future, it will not be able to lift heavy objects, cannot do fine work, and I am afraid that even the words will not be able to write well.
Dayou Dynasty elects officials with good colors, in modern terms, it is the world of looking at faces, ugly, obese, fat and disabled people are excluded regardless of their knowledge, not to mention that Chang Xile's right hand is not easy to use. It was already very difficult for the peasant family to take the road to the imperial examination, and as a result, the road to the imperial examination was completely broken. As soon as the Qian family heard this, they quit their relatives on the grounds that the two of them did not agree. Chang Xile, who had managed to survive with great difficulty, heard the news and fainted directly. After a few days of high fever, the whole person was so thin that only the skeleton remained, and when he woke up, he rarely woke up, and most of them were in a coma. The doctor said that if this continues, I am afraid that I will not survive this winter.
Mo said that the third room of the Chang family collapsed directly, and the entire Taoyuan Village was dumbfounded.
In this world, it is not easy to raise a scholar, how can you have the leisure to ponder these things if you can't eat enough, just those pen, ink, paper, inkstone books can crush a family. If he is very happy and really smart, the third room of the Chang family will not grit his teeth and let him go to study. But even if the Chang family's three-room room is one of the best in Taoyuan Village, it is actually very poor, at most it is slightly fuller than other households, and there is not much money left in hand, and it can't afford to support a scholar. Not to mention anything else, if you want to go to school, you can only go to the county seat - there is no master in Taoyuan Village, let alone a private school, and it takes two or three hours to walk from Taoyuan Village to the county, and you can only eat and live in a private school on weekdays, and this money is enough to choke, let alone others.
Chang Xile can have the opportunity to be admitted to Xiucai, relying not only on the three rooms of the Chang family, not only on the Chang family, but on the entire Taoyuan Village. I just hope that someone in the village can have the ability, and they can also get some light. The name Taoyuan Village sounds quite meaningful, but it is actually a well-known poor village.
But people are already like this, what can they do if they are unwilling? The big guys are holding their breath in their hearts, and they all want to find the moldy head of the Qian family. If it weren't for the Qian family's desperate work, Chang Xile would not be like this, and Chang Xile has not yet made it clear that he fell off the horse!
They don't have this precious thing in Taoyuan Village, and it was the Qian family's horse that threw Chang Xile down, and no one knows what happened that day. The Qian family said that Chang Xile was curious about the horse, and he had to ride it himself, but the horse was not happy, so he fell down. But who in Taoyuan Village doesn't know that Chang Xile is the most honest and well-behaved, how can he be so uncalm? Chang Xile woke up without any refutation of this, and did not explain what happened that day, so that the people of Taoyuan Village had no choice.
And now Chang Xile is reluctant to pursue the matter of retiring relatives, and everyone has no other action except to sigh and shake their heads. At most, I sighed: The people in their Taoyuan Village are too kind.
Although Chang Le who crossed over is not Chang Xile, he understands very well what Chang Xile thinks. This kid is too preoccupied, and if it weren't for that, he wouldn't have had a chance to live.
