After leaving the temple of General Li, Li Lezi returned home. Li Lezi's house is a large mansion with four entrances and six courtyards, and after he returned, he did not go to the backyard, but went to the inner hall to receive relatives and friends.

In the inner hall, a servant in a soap-colored official uniform is sitting and drinking tea. It's none other than Li Lezi's in-laws, Banniang's uncle Weng [Note 1], Huang Deyong, who is the head of the team in Chengji County. Since there is only a wrong name, there is no wrong nickname, Huang Dama is as his name, there is an egg-sized sarcoma on his neck, the green tendons are exposed, and his head is shaking for a while, which makes people disgusting to watch.

"The in-laws are back?" Seeing Li Lezi come in, Huang Deyong put down the coarse porcelain tea cup in his hand, and still sat openly, looking like an anti-guest, he asked, "How was the wine in General Li's temple?" ”

Although the two are in-laws, Li Lezi is just a rich man, while Huang Dama is a close confidant of Chen Zhusi in the county. Huang Deyong was rude, and Li Lezi could only turn a blind eye, arched his hand, and said with a smile: "Thanks to my in-laws' strategy, Han Caiyuan even turned his face blue." ”

Sitting down and waiting for the next person to serve the tea and soup, Li Lizi sighed and said, "But now that I come, I have offended Han Caiyuan." ”

Huang Deyong snorted, disdainful of Li Lezi's worries: "Actually, there is no need for this, but since Han Caiyuan doesn't know what to do, he can't care about anything." Anyway, Han Caiyuan is not from Shaanxi Township, but he is an outsider, and he has no relatives to support him, so I'm afraid he will do something? ! ”

The third brother of the Han family was watching coldly at the banquet, and he didn't even say a word. He traveled abroad for two years to study, and perhaps met a few extravagant characters. I'm afraid he'll do something bad......" Li Lezi frowned. Han Ah Li's rolling pin was fine if he was far away, but Han Gang's eyes and expression at the banquet really made him feel a little hairy in his heart. I always feel that something is wrong and I can't settle down.

"What kind of characters can teenage hairy children know? Can you cover more extravagantly than Chen Zhusi? Huang Deyong sneered nonchalantly, "What do you care about, in-laws, you think about it for so many years, has there ever been a Jinshi in Qinzhou?" ”

Li Lizi shook his head, he really hadn't heard of it. He smiled and said, "...... The broken cuoda, but I have seen a lot. ”

"If you can't get into the jinshi, you can't go to school, and you'll be a village in your life. If you are lucky, you will be admitted to the age of forty or fifty from now on, so that the official family will look pitiful and get a special name. Where to be a literature, teaching assistant or something. It was so shabby that I didn't need to bother Chen Zhisi, and I was crushed to death with one finger. Huang Dama's tone was crazy to the sky, as if he was not the head of a county government, but a general with tens of thousands of strong soldiers.

Li Lezi can also be regarded as having some insight, and he knows what a special name is. That is to say, those who fail to pass the examination in Beijing, who must be at least 40 years old and above, and the local government has specially played their names to enter the central government, and the Son of Heaven has issued a special decree to gather them to conduct an examination that is far simpler than the Jinshi examination, and then give it to a petty official who is not in the stream.

Most of the famous Jinshi in Shaanxi are also afraid that they will vote for Western Xia. Zhang Yuan, who was deposed in the palace examination that year, and Wu Hao, who repeatedly failed the exam, led Li Yuanhao to turn Shaanxi upside down. Even now, there are still many Han ministers in the court of Western Xia who have run over from Shaanxi. Those disgruntled scholars are the most dangerous, and they have to give a bone to soothe and appease.

"Looking up at the sky, you can't see Wenqu Star here in Qinzhou. Han San can only come up with a special name at most. If you want to be a jinshi, unless there is green smoke on his ancestral grave! Huang De sentenced Han Gang to death by shaking his head, confirming that he was a poor man for a lifetime.

Li Lezi smiled: "As soon as I listen to your in-laws, my heart will be settled." Then, according to the discussion the day before yesterday, he took Han Caiyuan to the county and gave him an errand with a lot of shortfalls, forcing him to sell his field. ”

Huang Deyong patted his chest: "Don't worry, in-laws." Everything will be handed over to me Huang De. As long as the Han vegetable garden arrives in the county, the manager will clean him up properly. ”

Li Lizi's wish was granted, and his smile became proud, "Han Caiyuan is a good hand at farming, and with his guidance, the crops in the village grow one or two percent better than those in the neighboring villages." Otherwise, his vegetable garden would have divided my family's Hewan field in half, and after selling it, he still had the idea of redeeming it, why should I be a wicked person. ”

"An acre of wheat field only needs a cart of manure in one season. But planting an acre of vegetable garden, to say the least, requires three truckloads of manure. The Han family has been cooking that piece of land for almost 30 years, and the fertilizer applied can bury three acres of land more than one person high. I'm afraid it's much fatter than the high-grade fields in the south of the Yangtze River......" Huang De said meaningfully.

"In-laws, don't worry." This time, it was Li Lezi who said to Huang Da Ma at ease, "The land in Beishan is even my family's Baniang's fat powder field [Note 2], and I will send the deed to you in two days." ”

"Hmm......" Huang De nodded quietly, still not satisfied. The fields in Beishan are not as good as the Hewan fields, and the interest and the price of the fields are far behind.

“…… and the adoptive mother of the Han family. When the Korean vegetable garden is in a hurry, it will definitely be sold, and it will be sent to the in-laws' house to serve at that time. ”

Huang Deyong finally smiled, and the tumor under his neck trembled badly, "Why should a family talk two words." My in-laws have to entrust me with everything, when did I not do my best to do it? The field in Beishan is for the bride [Note 3], how can I be greedy for you? The adoptive mother of the Han family just watched her be smart......"

Li Lezi felt disgusted in his heart when he heard Huang Dama pretending to be clear, and hurriedly raised his wine glass and smiled, "What my in-laws said is true!" That's right! Come...... Drink! Drink! ”

The two raised their glasses and drank to celebrate in advance that their wish would come true. Staggered, drink until the third watch is rested. A leprosy and a tumor are also a good match.

…………………………

Li Lezi and Huang Da Ma are calculating the Han family. The banquet in the General's Temple has ended, and the four members of the Han family gathered in the main house, also discussing the strategy of coping.

Li Lezi first said that it was just written in the county, and my name was on it, and then said that for the sake of the third brother's illness, he helped me delay it for two months, and when he told Liu Huaishu, it became that the county did not decide who to go to the errand service, and which one could go on my behalf. After a few words, he changed three kinds of words in a row, and he was simply talking nonsense with his eyes open! ”

In the main compartment of the Han family, Han Qianliu said angrily. Li Lezi was in General Li's temple just now, and he didn't blink an eye when he lied, and he clearly wanted to take away his Han family's land, and he didn't even want to be cheeky.

"People are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden. When Li Lezi was talking nonsense in the General's Temple, why didn't you smash him to death with a stool! According to the old lady, pick up the knife and go to his house to fight to the death! "Han Ah Li's temper is three points more fiery than firecrackers, the kind that ignites it. The rolling pin, which was as heavy as a tie jian, was still tightly clutched in his hand, waving it as he spoke, only hating Fang Cai Li Lezi for running too fast, and he didn't have time to give him a hard blow.

"What nonsense! That's going to be a lawsuit! Han Qianliu shook his head, Han Ah Li said that it was nothing for the people to say angry words, he couldn't follow the dizziness, "The future of the third brother is important. ”

Han Gang was silent. In the General's Temple, he was full of laughter and confidence, and when he came back from the temple, he was also stable and calm. The raging anger in his heart was hidden so that no one could see it, only the fist in his sleeve was clenched tightly, and his eyebrows trembled imperceptibly like a knife, as if he was about to unsheath and behead someone. Han Gang now has the heart to kill Li Lezi's whole family, Li Lezi didn't mention the idea of beating his vegetable garden, and now he has reached out to Yun Niang, using such vicious means, wanting to force the Han family to ruin, how can he bear this? !

However, this is also the reason why the Han family has no power, if he is the heir of the Han family in Xiangzhou, who dares to underestimate him? If he is now famous, how can he be bullied by Li Lezi's generation?

It won't be like this forever! Han Gang thought viciously. In today's situation, no matter what method you use, you must always get an official skin for yourself to protect yourself. I only hate Li Lezi for being too anxious, but it's not time to sort out the theory.

But even if there is no time to learn slowly, Han Gang is still fearless. After all, this era is dominated by literati, and there are one hundred and ten officials in Qinzhou City, how many civil officials are there! He is knowledgeable, talented, not bad in appearance, and has a teacher who is famous enough, how can Li Lezi move? Han Gang wanted to walk steadily, but if something was coming, it wouldn't hurt to take two steps faster. I have to let people know what the result will be if I provoke him Han Gang!

Han Gang suddenly opened his mouth and said to Han Ah Li: "Niangniang, it's too embarrassing to stab Li Lezi a few times, and you have to put yourself in." According to the child's view, there is inexplicably an extra document in front of the government, and the root of all this must be in the city, and Li Lezi is just borrowing the tiger skin of Huang Dama and Chen Ju. It's better to go to the city in the name of enlistment first, there is always a way to think, staying in the village can only sit in the city and worry! ”

If Han Qianliu said this, Han Ah Li would definitely be angry, but from the most distressed youngest son, she could listen to it. After hesitating for a long time, Fang reluctantly said: "Do you really want to make Li Lezi proud?" …… Anyway, your dad knows a few people in the city! ”

Han Gang shook his head with a smile: "Daddy is old, let's let the child go to the city for a walk!" ”

"How's that going to work!?" Han Ah Li and Han Qianliu's faces changed greatly, they are just such a son, if there is some accident, who will send them to the end in the future? Han Qianliu hurriedly said: "Third brother, you haven't recovered yet, and you're only eighteen years old, how can you get it?!" ”

Han Gang still insisted on his opinion, and now in this situation, there is no chance to stay in the village. Only by getting out of the gang can we fight a way, whether it is to rectify Li Lezi and the Huang Da Ma and Chen Ju behind him, or to make a name for himself, he must get out of the gang. Many villagers did not dare to leave their hometowns, and let the officials in the county and the village leaders be bullied.

Such thieves rely on isolating the officials from the common people, so as to profit from both inside and outside. But Han Gang is different, scholars travel the world, it is a tradition passed down from the ancestors, and he comes from later generations, and he regards leaving his hometown as leisure. Going out of the village and into the city to ask for an explanation for yourself is as simple as eating and drinking, and it is nothing at all.

Note 1: In ancient China, about before the Yuan and Ming dynasties, daughters-in-law called her husband's parents not parents-in-law, but uncles and aunts. The so-called 'waiting for Xiaotang to worship my aunt in front of Xiaotang', it is talking about going out to meet my in-laws after the candles in the cave room.

Note 2: Another version of the dowry field in the Song Dynasty was to let the daughter bring a piece of land to marry in the name of helping to marry the daughter.

Note 3: The bride of the Song Dynasty roughly means daughter-in-law, and has nothing to do with whether she is newly married or not. As long as she hasn't become a mother-in-law after more than ten years of marriage, she is still a bride.

ps: Han Gang is about to enter the city, and the climax is coming, so he asks for red tickets and collections to help.
