The scholar surnamed Yi didn't seem to see the changes in the lobby, but just sneered: "Brothers, Yi's original name is Yi Xingzhi, not Yi Zhixing." The so-called return of Taixi from his study trip is true. ”

It's just that the next words are quite angry: "It's just that Yi is a good son of the people of the Heavenly Dynasty, and the young show is not appropriate, but Yi is full of food and support?" ”

The scholar surnamed Wang was also quite courageous, but when he heard the words, he said in a deep voice: "Brother Yi should be careful when he speaks, after all, although Donglin Academy is excepted, but above the court, how many of the princes are from Donglin?" If today's words get out, isn't Brother Yi afraid of causing trouble? ”

Yi Xingzhi continued: "Trouble? When today's Zi Shengming is better than the first emperor, the Donglin party has long been beaten into a lost dog, what else is Yi afraid of? ”

Without waiting for others to answer, Yi Xingzhi continued: "Yi's family originally lived in Qindi, and his grandfather was originally from the Northern Party. It was only during the Wanli period that he moved to the Dongjiang River and made a living from the cloth workshop. The family's livelihood is acceptable, but it can be regarded as a poetry and book heirloom. My father has been studying hard because it is not easy to weave three shuttle cloth, and wants to improve the daily weaving income of three shuttle cloth. ”

Speaking of this, Yi Xingzhi had a nostalgic look on his face: "At that time, Yi was still young, and he watched his father tinkering with those wood and iron tools every day, and he only felt that this was the most amazing thing in the world. Since Yi was seven years old, it wasn't until Yi was over eleven that his father tossed some eyebrows. Originally, the three shuttle cloths were woven by good weavers, and the daily income was not more than an inch. ”

"After the machine made by my father is completed, a good weaver girl can get close to the foot every day. According to the price of goods at that time, a horse of three shuttle cloth could be worth three taels of silver. ”

"If nothing changes, it is based on these three shuttles, and Yi's family can also become a wealthy family."

When he said this, the nostalgic look on Yi Xingzhi's face disappeared completely, and the rest was just anger: "The land of Taicang is only a hundred miles away from Yi's house, hehe, Taicang Erzhang." ”

Hearing this, many scholars in the lobby secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Taicang Erzhang has now pounced on dogs, no matter how black they are, no one will come out to refute them, and today this matter is spread out, and everyone will not have anything to do with it.

Yi Xingzhi ignored the reactions of everyone in the lobby, and just continued: "Zhang Pu's villain learned that a certain family had such a thing, and he sent someone to ask for it. My father has worked hard for several years, how can he easily give it to him? ”

The thief couldn't ask for it, but it was the conspirator Zhang Cai and Wu Weiye, and the people who restored the society, who secretly spread rumors, only saying that the things created by his father would rob the livelihood of many weavers in Songjiang. Among them, there were many Donglin gentlemen involved, and some even assured their father that as long as the loom was handed over, the gentlemen of the Donglin party would speak for their father and retreat from the people who returned to the society. Hehe, from a certain point of view, what these righteous gentlemen did was just this loom. ”

Yi Xingzhi didn't care that the faces of the scholars in the hall were not very good-looking when they mentioned the righteous men and gentlemen, but continued: "Foolish women in the countryside, where did you get any knowledge?" Only the things made by the Taoist father will make them lose their jobs and livelihoods, and they completely think that as soon as this thing comes out, they will make more three-shuttle cloth, even if the final price is lower, but the income is still more than before. ”

"Since the people of the restored society and the people of Donglin can't ask for it, they want to destroy it. The fools, who were afraid of losing their livelihoods, rushed to Yi's house one night at the instigation of the Fushe and the people of Donglin. ”

In the Qingfeng Pavilion at night, although the lights are bright, it does not look dark, but the flickering lights are reflected on Yi Xingzhi's hideous face, but it reveals a ruthless intention to choose people and devour: "Hehe, that night was not a night of murder with high black wind, but my father and mother were dragged from bed and beaten to death by those bastards with stones and sticks in the courtyard of the house." ”

When the scholar surnamed Wang heard this, he interrupted Yi Xingzhi's words: "If you follow what Brother Yi said, I'm afraid that you will not be able to escape death that day, why?" ”

Yi Xingzhi sneered: "If it weren't for Yi Mou, who was sleeping in the small courtyard next to him with his second uncle at the time, I am afraid that he would not have escaped death." The second uncle heard the noise in the courtyard and knew that the situation was wrong, so he took Yi to hide overnight, and Yi escaped the catastrophe. Until the next day, when the second uncle returned home to check, the huge courtyard had already been burned to a white ground. ”

"The second uncle is cautious and quiet, but he ruined his true face with coals, and he took the twelve-year-old Yi all the way to beg for a living, even if he has a silver ticket on his body, how dare he take it out and spend it?"

Listening to what Yi Xingzhi said, many scholars in the lobby made up for the situation at that time, but they shivered one after another. One year, the man burned his face with charcoal, and then with a child, he didn't dare to spend the money, and he had to eat all the way to make a living, which was pitiful and terrible to think about.

It was still the scholar surnamed Wang who praised first: "Uncle Gao Yi, Wang admires." As he spoke, he arched his hand to Yi Xingzhi to show his respect. Yi Xingzhi saw that the scholars in the hall were all bowing, so he also bowed back and said, "Thank you, brothers." Uncle Gao Yi, Yi Xingzhi will never forget. ”

After thanking many scholars, Yi Xingzhi continued: "It wasn't until later, when my uncle and nephew begged all the way to Lingnan, and finally after they arrived at Oyster Mirror Ao, my uncle sent Yi to Xiyi's ship and asked Yi to go to Xiyi to study. ”

"It wasn't until four years ago that Yi was close to the top of the pole, so he returned from the land of Xiyi, and under the pseudonym Yi Zhixing, he privately bought off the officials of Oyster Mirror Ao and re-settled."

It was only after Yi came back that after many visits, I learned that after Yi's second uncle sent Yi on the boat to Xiyi, he returned to Songjiang alone to find Zhang Pu, Zhang Cai and others for revenge. It's just that Yi's uncle was originally a powerless scholar, and he burned his face with charcoal, fell ill, and died in a small town on the road before he returned to Songjiang. ”

"Thanks to the good Samaritans, they were not thrown into mass graves after death. After Yi set up a tomb for his uncle, he participated in the imperial examination, and only then entered the Guozijian in the sixth year of the Apocalypse. ”

All of a sudden, everyone present was concerned, and the girls who pretended to be stupid and never retreated were already full of tears in their apricot eyes, and they couldn't stop hiding their faces with handkerchiefs and weeping.

Yi Xingzhi said with a smile: "The Donglin Party was sentenced by the first emperor to be a rebel party, and now it is a man with his tail between his legs, and as for the restoration of the society, it also disappeared in the seventh year of the Apocalypse." Yi originally planned to stay after the Spring Festival, asked for grace, went to the Royal Academy to follow Lord Xu, and then accompanied by this instrument, and this remnant of his life, but he didn't mean that today he actually opened the Gewu Department, all the brothers, why did Yi go to the Jinshi exam? ”
