Chapter 113: Why
Xia Shujie, the eldest young master of the Xia family, not only won the second place in the martial arts, but also won the second place in the martial arts.
Although Yu Zhengran, who was the first in martial arts and second in literature, was also amazing, but that person didn't have any information, like he appeared out of thin air, and the people had no gossip information, so they were less interested in talking. But Xia Shujie is different, in the past few years, some new content has emerged from time to time about the rumors about their three brothers and sisters, and there are positive angles and negative angles, so that everyone envies the Xia Mansion and at the same time there are villains who can be criticized and angrily reprimanded, such as Uncle Xiafu, such as the Zhen family, such as the Murong family, and the second room of the Xu Mansion, which is so enjoyable!
The life of the common people is difficult, especially those who are frequently bullied, and they see the three brothers and sisters of Xia Zhai survive step by step from the orphans and orphans who were helpless and almost sold at the beginning, fighting the wicked, meeting nobles, getting royal rewards, and growing dragon fruit to make a fortune...... It's like empathy, and I'm full of expectations for the future like I've been injected with chicken blood. There is hope in life, as long as you are willing to work hard, you may be able to meet a noble person one day.
Those rich and noble people who were born with golden keys are too far away from ordinary people, but the stories of the rise of people who are also weak can arouse their fighting spirit, and it is easy for everyone to bring into the role. For example, now, many people are already talking with great interest about the title of Xia Shujie's gold list and how to take revenge after raising their eyebrows.
Zhen Dafu's father and son heard those various, but all frightening "revenge episodes" are really mixed, will Shujie really use those means to deal with them? No, you have to dispose of that woman in Cuizhu first, but, alas, where is that letter? Or, is there any?
The Xia family is really excited. The patriarch and several clan elders discussed the matter of welcoming Shujie and holding a banquet to celebrate overnight, Xie Yuan, both civil and military, is the title of the gold list still far away? Is it still far from the Xia family to come out again?
Jiulang, the youngest son of the fifth grandfather, came to pick up the fifth grandfather, and poured a scoop of cold water disdainfully: "When you were calculating the orphans and orphans of other people, why didn't you think that the hope of the Xia family to come out was on others?" If Brother Jie is really as foolish as you think, how can you be named on the gold list? ”
At that time, the two clan elders who strongly advocated that Shujie brothers and sisters sell the small courtyard on Xitang Street to the orphans and widows had a pig's liver on their faces, and one of them argued strongly: "They are also members of the Xia family, shouldn't they contribute to the clan?" ”
Jiulang snorted: "Don't forget, but you joined the clan with others, the fifth brother and five sisters-in-law (Xia Linxuan, Donnie Yen) could get out of the clan back then, and Brother Jie could naturally get out of the clan if he was forced to do so." What benefits did this Xia family give them? The fifth brother and five sisters-in-law passed away, have you ever given a grain of rice and a vegetable to other orphans and orphans? ”
"You ......" the clan elder was annoyed and embarrassed, and wanted to go crazy. The patriarch waved his hand: "Enough, shut up for me." ”
The fifth grandfather sighed and shook his head: "Xiao Jiu Mo is going to say, let's go back, Brother Jie understands very well in his heart, although that child is good." It's not easy to handle. ”
Of course, Brother Jie is not a nerd, besides, if he is so easy to handle, can he still be expected to support the family? The patriarch sat alone in the hall of the ancestral hall for a long time, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking......
The atmosphere was even more depressing in Xia Fu. The two sisters-in-law of the Xia Mansion Dafang both participated in this autumn test, but unfortunately both of them fell to Sun Mountain. The eldest Xia Shuyi sat there with a ashamed face, and said very embarrassed for a long time: "Dad." Mother, I'm really not reading material, so I don't have to waste any more money. Yun Qiu said that his cousin's private school still needs a gentleman, why don't I go and see it in a few days. ”
Zhou muttered exaggeratedly: "That little private school is dedicated to enlightening children from poor families, how many bundles of cultivation can there be?" Listen to your daughter-in-law who can't get on the stage! Our family is also from a marquis. How can you be a gentleman in that small private school? Daughter-in-law Yi, you have married into the Xia family. It's better to have more knowledge, and don't try to make the bad idea of that little family! ”
Xia Shuyi's wife, Cheng Shi, looked aggrieved, pursed her lips and did not speak. Marquis from origin? Now life is worse than her mother's family who makes ceramics! Fortunately, Xia Shuyi is only less qualified to read, but his character is not bad, and he is willing to be down-to-earth. If she is a bastard like her brother-in-law Xia Shuyao, then she really wants to cry without tears.
It's a pity that Xia Shuyi can't pick his shoulders and can't lift them, and he is not suitable for business (now the big house in Xia Mansion doesn't have that capital), so he can only be a gentleman or an account room. This time, my cousin's private school happened to need a gentleman, and Xia Shuyi himself took the initiative to try it.
Xia Shuyi saw that his mother was angry with his wife, and he couldn't bear it: "Mother, this matter has nothing to do with Yunqiu, I want to go by myself." Although there are few private school bundles, it's better than a family sitting on a mountain and eating empty, right? Yunqiu is pregnant, and I must be able to earn money to support my wife and children. ”
Shuqing, who was sitting on the side, sighed secretly: Although this eldest brother has poor qualifications, he is still self-aware and affectionate, if he can have a better way out, he will at least be a reliable "mother's family" in the future.
After thinking about it, Shuqing said: "Grandmother, father, mother, eldest brother is right, it's not a way to keep taking the exam like this, a dignified man always has to find a way to support his family." The eldest brother has a reputation for showing talent, can you let your aunt and the Anguo Mansion help you buy an official job? It doesn't matter if you have an official position first, there is always hope for the eldest brother to work hard, make some achievements and then find a relationship to operate. Dad, I still have some valuable jewelry, which I got at the Guogong Mansion at that time, and I can take it out to buy an official for my eldest brother. ”
Xia Shuyi's voice was choked: "Sister, you will get married in two years, those are your dowry, how can the eldest brother use it?" ”
Cheng also said: "Yes, sister-in-law, don't worry, I also have some jewelry and dowry, which is really not enough, you can borrow a little from my mother's family first." "It would be better if she could buy an official body, she was only afraid that the old lady and her in-laws would force the princess to continue the scientific examination for the sake of the marquis's face, and make the unrealistic dream of "gold list title".
Xia Linyu frowned and thought for a long time, and finally made a decision: "Just do what Qing'er said, Yi'er is twenty-five for the New Year, and it's time to be in charge." You don't have to worry about the money beforehand, but there is my grandmother and our parents. "This eldest son has only taken the test three times, and this is the second time to take the exam. If you take the exam again, there will be no drama and singing, it's just a waste of money, so it's better to take it out and buy an official at one time.
As for the silver, he knew that his mother still had a big box of private rooms, Shuyi was the eldest son and grandson, and now he wanted to buy a future, the most reason to use the old lady's private money, and if he didn't use it, he should have three rooms cheaper, this time Shuyi and Shuyao both lost, and Xia Linang almost didn't hold his Xia Shuwei to the sky between words. Moreover, after the New Year, they can take over Shujie's small yard on Xitang Street, a whole box of silver, to say the least, there are five or six thousand taels, he asked, the cost of finding someone to wash and dispose of it is at most one or two hundred taels.
Mrs. Xia also knew that Xia Linyu was beating her private money, but Shuyi was her eldest grandson who grew up, and if she couldn't take the exam, she could only buy an official body, so she couldn't really be a private school teacher, right? However, whether it is a granddaughter or a granddaughter-in-law, it is a very shameful thing to be a jewelry, and Xia Fu really can't afford to lose this face.
At this time, Xia Shuyao, who was yawning, staggered out and slumped on the chair: "What silver?" I want it too, mother, you said that you would give me a hundred taels of silver after the exam, I haven't been out with my friends for a long time, hurry up and give me silver to relax. ”
"Smack", the teacup on Xia Linyu's right hand smashed at Xia Shuyao's feet, "Evil obstacles, is Sun Shan embarrassed to ask for silver?" What else would you do but fight crickets and drink flower wine? ”
Xia Shuyao, who was sleepy-eyed, was completely frightened awake at this moment, patted his heart and muttered, "Does Dad want to scare me to death?" It's just that I wasn't fully prepared this time, and besides, I'm not the only one who didn't take the test, and didn't my eldest brother take the test either? He took the exam for the second time. ”
Seeing that Xia Linyu grabbed the teapot and was about to smash it again, Zhou, who had always regarded Xia Shuyao as a baby bump, hurriedly rushed over and grabbed Xia Linyu's hand: "Master, what are you doing?" Yao'er has always been smart, but this time he was just unlucky and missed, he was only nineteen years old, and he would only be twenty-two or three years old when he took the test again. ”
Xia Linyu roared angrily: "Nineteen years old, Xia Shujie is only eighteen years old, one year younger than him." ”
Xia Shuyao snorted: "Isn't he lucky?" I have a lucky sister, but I don't have one. And he lives in a luxurious and comfortable mansion in the city, waits for good food and drink, eats well and sleeps well, where is it like me to suffer in that shabby inn? If you don't rest well, you won't have the mental exam, right? ”
Shu Qing was so angry that she almost sneered, it turned out that it was her fault that this brother was named Sun Shan or her sister, who made her not a lucky star, and there was no lotus bracelet given by Master Jingxuan?
Zhou seemed to have finally found a reason to defend his son, and hurriedly muttered, "Isn't it? It's all the fault of those three little scumbags, such a big yard just refuses to let Yi'er and Yao'er live? Where can we Yao'er stand the hard bed and rough food in the inn? That's why I didn't do well in the exam. ”
Before the autumn season, the Zhou family didn't know where to know that the three brothers and sisters of Lu Dao Shujie lived in the mansion of the rich and noble district of Fucheng, and ran to ask Shujie to sort out two rooms for Shuyi and Shuyao to live in, save money and have someone to wait, and they can also touch Shuyao's good luck.
Who knew that the concierge was not allowed to enter, saying that the young master and the girl were not in the house when they went out, only Mother Liu came out and responded coldly that the courtyard belonged to Jin Xida, and the three of them had no right to let others enter the house, let alone live.
Xia Shuyi couldn't help it, and snorted: "Xia Shujie has nothing to do with us now, why let us live?" With so many relatives in the clan, will my mother let them live in our house? ”
"You ......", Zhou just wanted to scold, but suddenly remembered that this person was his son, and held back. On what grounds? Where did she think about anything, but what she wanted.
Mrs. Xia's eyes were also dark, how could her grandson be worse than the grandson of a slut maid?
