Song Zheng returned home and took out the paper bag he got from Xiaolian, which contained four or five half-dried colored small mushrooms. At noon, he took one and quietly asked Xiaoping, who hurriedly threw it on the ground and crushed it with his foot. She told Song Zheng that this small mushroom is called "poisoned cow", which means that the cow will also be poisoned if it eats it. Xiaoping also asked Song Zheng where he got it. Song Zheng said that when he went up the mountain to exercise, he saw this small mushroom, which was very beautiful, so he took it back to play. Xiaoping hurriedly warned Song Zheng not to play this, in case you accidentally eat it, it will be troublesome.

Song Zheng put these little mushrooms and the jade pendant on the inside of the bed, this is Xiaolian's evidence of the crime, and when Old Man Song recovers from his illness, he can take it out to testify against Xiaolian. In the prize book that the money cabinet took away, Song Zheng also put a poisonous mushroom in it to warn Qian Youcai. Originally, Song Zheng also wanted to write a note, which said: This time I will make your grandson a waste, if you think crookedly, I will kill your whole family. However, after thinking about it, he still didn't clip the note in. If you put it in, it is equivalent to leaving evidence of a "crime". How's that going to work? The money cabinet was scrapped, but it was purely an "accident"!

When he boiled the medicine that evening, Song Zheng was still staring, afraid that Xiaolian would make it bad again. He also smiled weirdly at Xiaolian, which startled Xiaolian, and his hands trembled when he added water to the medicine pot. Worried that Xiaolian would go out again at night, Song Zheng kept paying attention to the movements in the East Courtyard. Sure enough, a cat meow sounded outside the courtyard of the east courtyard again. However, Xiaolian didn't dare to go out again, not even the door of the house. Song Zheng picked up half a brick from the yard, quietly slipped to the east courtyard, and threw it out with the sound of a cat. There was a low groaning sound outside the courtyard, and Song Zheng couldn't help but flash a trace of happiness in his heart. After a while, the footsteps outside hurried away.

Because he was waiting for Old Man Song to recover from his illness, on the morning of August 20, Song Zheng did not dare to go to the big stone of Xishan to practice boxing, but only ran to the foot of Xishan and was about to run back, but was stopped by Song Yu and asked about Old Man Song's condition. Song Zheng knew that he sent moon cakes under the guise of the old man, which had alleviated Song Yu's resentment towards the old man a lot. After all, the blood is connected, and Song Yu did not let go of the old man in his heart. Song Zheng told the third uncle with a broken back that although Old Man Song was sick, it was not serious and would be fine soon. Song Yu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, said "That's good", and then waved his hand to let Song Zheng go back.

After breakfast, a middle-aged man in a long shirt rode a horse to Songjiazhuang with two dukes. I ran into Song Xiaosi, who was about to work in the field, "Is Song Jinshi's family in this village?" ”

Song Xiaosi saw that the other party was with a duke, and hurriedly replied: "It's in this village, and Song Jinshi is the eldest young master of our family." ”

The man said, "Lead the way." Song Xiaosi hurriedly led the three of them to the front of Song's house. After the three of them dismounted, they handed over the reins to Song Xiaosi and walked into Song's house.

Xiaolian was in the courtyard when she saw the duke, she jumped up in fright and entered the house in a panic. Wu came out, and the man in the long shirt said, "Excuse me, is Master Song at home?" Wu Shi hurriedly said: "He went to the clan study, are you?" ”

The man said: "I am the governor of Mizhou, and I am ordered by Lord Hu of Zhizhou to visit Master Song, and I have important matters to discuss. Wu let the three of them go to the main house, and let Xiaolian make tea. Xiaolian heard that she was looking for Song Jue, she breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly served the tea. Wu went to the West Courtyard again and sent Xiaoping to call Song Jue. When Song Zheng heard that someone from the government had come, he felt very strange. In his memory, Song Jue had almost no contact with outsiders, and the only two times, it is said that Song Jue's classmates had come to visit him, and he also took away some of Song Jue's writings, saying that he wanted to read them. This time, someone from the government suddenly came, which was really surprising.

Song Jue came back from the clan study and went straight to the East Courtyard. Song Zheng hurriedly went to the inner room of the east courtyard under the pretext of watching his grandfather, eavesdropping on the movements outside. I only heard the person outside say: "Bachelor Song, the official in Xia Mizhou, the surname is Yu Mingyuan, the word is flat, on the order of Lord Hu of Zhizhou, Bachelor Song is specially appointed to serve as a teacher in the Academy of Literature, I don't know what Brother Song wants?" ”

Song Jue's voice was a little surprised: "Since I resigned in the sixth year of Dading, I have been living in seclusion in the township, teaching and writing books as a profession, I don't know where Lord Hu heard my name?" Why did you hire him as a teacher? ”

Yu Yuan said: "Although Brother Song has been living in seclusion here, his reputation has spread all over the world. May I ask Brother Song, the book "Science and Justice" is written by Brother Song? ”

Song Jue said: "It is in the next clumsy work, four years ago, a classmate of the year once came to us and asked him to correct him, but there has been no news. ”

Yu Yuan explained: "I don't know the specific situation. But the book "The Justice of Science" has been engraved and circulated. It is said that this book also has a great reputation in the capital Jiangning. When Lord Hu saw this book, he was very happy. Although the words "Xishan Song Jue" are written on the book, Master Hu does not know Brother Song's residence and cannot come to visit, which has always been a pity. Recently, the adults learned that Brother Song actually lived in Songjiazhuang, Ju County, and was about to come to visit, but he was busy with official business, so he had to send him to invite him to the Academy of Literature to serve as a teacher and carry forward science. ”

"Is there such a thing? I didn't hear a little wind below. Song Jue smiled awkwardly, and then said: "A little bit of fame, but it makes Master Hu and Brother Yu laugh." ”

Yu Yuan said: "Before coming, Lord Hu told me that I must invite Brother Song to go, and Lord Hu will greet him at that time." Master Hu also said that Brother Song should be asked to temporarily take up the post of teacher and study, and when the adults turned around a little, he asked for orders from the forward, and let Brother Song be the deputy head teacher or head teacher. ”

Song Zheng was taken aback in the inner room, he had been reading books for a period of time, and he also had a certain understanding of the official system of Daqi. The head of the education department of each state is equivalent to the chief of a state (the deputy position of the governor), and the deputy head of the education department is equivalent to the county order of a county, and the ordinary teaching is equivalent to the chief book of a county. Although the faculty of the Faculty of Letters has little real power, it is also based on rank. As soon as this cheap father goes to the Academy of Literature, he is equivalent to a deputy department-level cadre, and he will soon be promoted to the main department, or even the deputy department. People in this era are still serious about keeping their promises, and since this person named Yu Yuan has publicly said this, that Zhizhou Hu will definitely try his best to promote the promotion of the cheap father.

Song Zheng said in his heart, this cheap dad didn't know what shit luck he had, but he was valued by his superiors, and he was promoted without even organizing an inspection. At the very least, let's publicize it and give everyone a chance to make a small report. In fact, Song Zheng didn't know that it was not so easy to become a teacher in the Academy of Literature, because in the Academy of Literature of the Great Qi Dynasty, every time a teacher was appointed, he needed to be nominated by the general or deputy general manager, and the other teachers and students would vote, and finally approved by the governor of a state. Of course, if it is an "airborne cadre", it is not among them, and it can be directly appointed by the governor along the way. Song Jue does not belong to the "airborne cadres", but he can serve in the Academy of Literature, which shows that this Master Hu has a good control over the Academy.

At this time, I heard Song Jue say outside: "I should not quit if I can take up a teaching position in the Academy of Literature and promote science, and I should not resign." However, my father was seriously ill and needed to serve him, so he had to disappoint Brother Li. "This is true, Song Jue wanted to serve the old man yesterday and not go to the clan study. However, the old man didn't want him to serve and threw him out, so Song Jue had to honestly go to the clan class to study.

"It turned out that Master Song was sick, I don't know, please forgive Brother Song. Since this is the case, I don't dare to delay Brother Song's filial piety. Yu Yuan pondered for a while, and then said: "The letter of appointment will be left first, and when Master Song recovers, please Brother Song must go to Mizhou. ”

Song Jue finally got an errand that suited him, and he didn't want to give up, so he thought about it for a while and said, "Since this is the case, then please ask Brother Yu to tell Master Hu that once my father recovers from his illness, he will make up his mind to go to Mizhou." ”

The business was settled, and then the two chatted some gossip. Yu Yuan said that he set off from Mizhou early yesterday morning, came to Shishan Town in the evening, and came to visit early this morning. Yu Yuan also said that there is a trend of great prosperity in the imperial court, and the prosperity of science is just around the corner. Song Jue was naturally happy when he heard it. In the end, Song Jue said: "Brother Yu, please use tea." Song Zheng knew that this was a tea send-off. Sure enough, Yu Yuan was polite and led the two dukes to leave.

What happened in the main house, the old man Song who was lying in the back room also heard it. As soon as Yu Yuan and the others left, Old Man Song called Song Jue in. After all, Old Man Song has a thick body, and his condition is already better than yesterday. He said: "It doesn't matter if I'm sick, you can take your daughter-in-law and children tomorrow, I finally have a capable errand, don't delay." ”

Song Zheng was naturally taken aback when he heard this, the old dog with money and wealth was eyeing the Song family, if he left, how could the old man be killed. I was so excited that I almost had to tell the story of the past two days. Fortunately, Song Jue is more filial and insists on waiting for the old man to get well before going on the road. Even so, Song Zheng still couldn't leave, so Song Zheng proposed that after the old man recovered from his illness, Song Zheng would fulfill his filial piety for his father and let Song Jue take Zhu to Mizhou.

Song Jue is willing to leave his son at home, he still wants to train his son to be a great physicist, he is leaving, with the old man's current love for Song Zheng, it is not against the sky.

In the end, after some bargaining, the three agreed that Song Zheng would stay at home for two years, and then go to Mizhou at the turn of summer and autumn when he was thirteen years old, and then he could directly enter the Academy of Literature. In fact, the entrance examination is required to enter the Academy of Literature, and Song Zheng is a teacher's child, who has special care and can be exempted from the examination.

Now that it has been agreed, whether it is Song Jue or Song Zheng, they all begin to hope that the old man will get better soon. In fact, Old Man Song was also coincidentally ill, and he disrupted some people's ill plans. (Ask for flowers, ask for votes, ask for collections, welcome to comment)
