Wang'er, the little dog beside Chen Wenju, seemed to notice that something was wrong, and whispered in Chen Wenju's ear, "Third Young Master, I heard that this Zhou kid fell in the ridge and passed out once a month ago, could it be that the fall made this kid enlightened, I'm afraid that he will really know a thousand words." ”

"You fart and you know a thousand words when you fall? You, a dog slave, also gave Young Master Ben a faint once to see if he could recognize a thousand words. ”

Just now, because Zhang Hu'er made trouble from it, Chen Wenju was unhappy, and he was worried that this evil fire would have nowhere to go. So he raised his hand and slapped Gou Wang'er in the face, and Gou Wang'er actually came to a stumbling position. Hurriedly stood at fixed point and said, "Young master, the little one is wrong, the little one is wrong, look at the little one's stinky mouth." ”

As he spoke, he also put two mouths on his face.

The onlookers looked at the scene in front of them, and no one dared to say anything, just stood there dumbfounded.

"Dog Wang'er, go quickly, go and invite Wang Lao Xiucai, remember to let him bring the four treasures of the study." Chen Wenju then ordered.

Gou Wang'er didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly trotted to invite Wang Lao Xiucai.

Naturally, no one among the people could write a contract, and many of them could not read a single word. In Baiyue Village, the people who usually write contract documents are Wang Lao Xiucai, that is, the old master who teaches social studies in the village.

Wang Lao Xiucai is over sixty years old, named Wang Ding, and his name is Yuncai, but he has repeatedly failed to pass the examination after winning Xiucai in the Chenghua years. He simply stopped referring to it and became an official in the Qingdu County Ya. But because he couldn't get used to the dirty deeds of officialdom, he resigned and started as Mr. Mengxue in Baiyue Village Social School.

At this time, Wang Ding was eating at home, and when he heard Gou Wang'er say that it was Young Master Chen who invited him, he quickly followed Gou Wang'er to the field. The Chen family is a big family in Baiyue Village, and although Wang Ding is a talented person and has a noble status, he doesn't want to offend the Chen family.

On the way here, Wang Ding simply learned what happened from Gou Wang'er's mouth. Wang Ding couldn't help but smile bitterly, the third young master of the Chen family was obviously joking and bullying the boy of the Zhou family. The boy of the Zhou family has never been educated, where will he know a thousand words.

Indeed, in recent days, the boys of the Zhou family have stopped outside when they pass by the gate of social studies. But it was only a moment's work, he could neither see the old man write, nor could he listen to the old man's lectures, where would he be literate? This is truly self-inflicted. Alas! Although it is now a peaceful and prosperous era, it is extremely common for the children of poor commoners like this to be bullied by a little rich and powerful.

Wang Ding appeared in a shirt and a scarf, and Chen Wenju hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Don't look at him arrogantly in front of the villagers, but in front of Wang Ding, he suddenly became polite. There is no way, Daming's talent status is very high, Chen Wenju is just a child, and he must respect Wang Ding.

"The student has seen Master Wang, and today he is tired of Master." Chen Wenju said with a smile.

"Huh! It's okay, it's okay, Chen Sangongzi doesn't have to be polite. Wang Ding said.

Zhou Zhi also came over to salute and said, "The boy has seen the master." ”

"No need to be polite," Wang Ding also said to Zhou Zhi.

As an old talent and a strong admirer of Cheng Zhu's science, Wang Ding can treat people equally.

The villagers who had already begged Chen Wenju moved a square table and a chair. Wang Ding sat down, studied the ink, and the two identical contracts were quickly completed.

After living for such a long time, Wang Ding has never seen such a thing, and he has never written such a contract, and he is still secretly smiling bitterly after writing it. However, then Wang Ding still recited the contract aloud, so that Zhou Zhi and Chen Wenju could hear it clearly.

Chen Wenju held the pen in his hand, first shook it in the air, and then thought he was very chic and wrote his name on the contract and pressed the handprint. Under Chen Wenju's forced gaze, Zhou Zhicai slowly came over and smiled awkwardly at Wang Ding, and said, "Please also ask the master to write down the name on behalf of the boy." ”

When Chen Wenju heard this, he laughed even more proudly, and he was very sure and his heart was full of joy. This week, I can't even write my own name, where can I talk about a thousand words. Chen Wenju is now thinking about how to humiliate Zhou Zhi and enjoy the wonderful feeling of bullying people when Zhou Zhi loses for a while.

Wang Ding smiled wryly in his heart, but he still wrote Zhou Zhi's name on the two contracts according to his words. Zhou Zhi then pressed his handprint on his name.

At this time, Chen Wenju was already impatient, and said, "Zhou family cub, this contract has also been written, now it's time to start a gamble, right?" ”

Zhou Zhi said expressionlessly, "Third Young Master Chen, please wait a moment." ”

"You poor, you are long-winded, you are clearly illiterate, and you want to escape, hum! Young Master Ben asked you, why can't you gamble now? Chen Wen raised his face and said with an indifferent expression.

"Third Young Master Chen, the witness has not been drawn yet!" Zhou Zhi said softly, with a bit of cowardice in his voice.

"There are so many neighbors here, can't they be witnesses? Just shout two paintings. Chen Wen raised his hand and pointed to the many people who were watching, and said hurriedly.

Zhou Zhi shook his head lightly, deliberately pretending to be panicked, and seemed to be relying on courage to say, "None of them can be witnesses." ”

"You...... You poor cub is clearly playing tricks on Young Master Ben. They can't be witnesses, so who do you say can be witnesses? Chen Wenju asked angrily.

Zhou Zhi said slowly, "Third Young Master Chen, please be calm and don't be impatient, the witness will be there soon." ”

As soon as Zhou Zhi's words fell, someone shouted, "Here, here, it's the old lady of the Yue family." And they all looked towards the entrance of the village. I saw Zhang Hu Dan'er striding in front, followed by two healthy servants carrying a soft sedan chair without a canopy, and a white-bearded old man was half lying on the sedan chair, he was Yue Shunde, the old lady of the Yue family.

Zhou Zhi saw that Old Lady Yue was coming, and a stone in his heart immediately fell to the ground, and secretly thought, Chen Wenju, hehe! This time, you will be planted in the hands of the master, and there will be no suspense.

Speaking of Baiyue Village, there are more than 300 households, and there are two wealthy families in the village, one is the Chen family, and the other is the Yue family.

The reason why Baiyue Village is called Baiyue Village is that at first, there were only two families, the surname Bai and the surname Yue. But in the battle of Jingjing, Baoding Mansion was severely affected, and there was not one out of ten residents. As Baiyue Village in Baoding Prefecture, naturally there was no escape, and the Bai family completely disappeared in the village, leaving only the Yue family, and the Yue family took the opportunity to annex the Bai family's land.

In order to ensure Gyeonggi, Emperor Yongle ordered a large number of immigrants from Shanxi to all parts of Beizhili, and Baekak Village became a village with mixed surnames. Originally, the Yue family was a dominant family in Baiyue Village, but who would have thought that the Chen family would rise rapidly because of a Jinshi Chen Ci in the Xuande period, and became a big family on a par with the Yue family.

As the saying goes, "one mountain does not tolerate two tigers", the Chen family and the Yue family both wanted to be the ruler of Baiyue Village. So in recent decades, the two of them have been fighting openly and secretly, unconvinced by each other, and both want to suppress each other.

Zhou Zhi's family, a poor family, naturally had no contact with the Yue family, and Zhou Zhi asked Zhang Hudan'er to ask the Yue family to come forward as a witness, which was a thought.

In Zhou Zhi's mind, the onlookers were not allowed to be witnesses. Because these people are afraid of the Chen family, when the time comes, they will win Chen Wenju, and Chen Wenju will pay the bill, and these people will not dare to let go of a fart. Although there is a contract, it will not be useful, and his family's eight acres of land still have to be turned over by his own manpower.

Therefore, this witness must find someone who has weight and can suppress the Chen family. In Baiyue Village, only the Yue family can be compared with the Chen family.

Zhou Zhi knew very well that the Chen family and the Yue family had been fighting for many years, and they had already torn their faces. As long as the Yue family can believe that they really know a thousand words and can win Chen Wenju, the Yue family will definitely send someone to be a witness. The Yue family couldn't wait to see the arrogance of the Chen family's scholars, suppressed by a poor child. The Yue family signed the contract, so even if the contract is completely confirmed, Chen Wenju will not be able to repay the debt when he wants to.

But the problem is how to make the Yue family believe that they can win, so that the Yue family can testify against him, which makes Zhou Zhi even more painstaking.
