November came, there were still guests at home who came to visit one after another, and Yan Qi finally returned to the county and continued to teach in the Wu School, but the attitude was very different from before, and he was very strict with the students, including Li Jingfei, because he couldn't memorize the article, he was beaten by the board, which made the Wu School more famous, and Wu Mianqing also allocated some silver to repair the house of the school, which was originally in the ancestral hall, but it was separated from the place where the ancestors were worshipped.

Wu Mingkun and others did not have much contact with Wu Fanhui, since the news that Wu Fanhui became the township test Xie Yuan came back, several people studied more and more hard, to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat, they got Wu Fanhui's praise, put all their energy into study, but did not have much time to contact Wu Fanhui.

Wu Fanhui learned two things from the county government, the first thing, on the fourth day of the first month of May, the military department Shangshu, Jiliao Governor Sun Chengzong, recovered the four cities of Luanzhou, Qian'an, Yongping and Zunhua in the north of Zhili, forcing Houjin to fully withdraw troops from Lengdaokou, this crisis to the safety of the Beijing division **** finally ended, the second thing, the former military department Shangshu, Jiliao Governor Yuan Chonghuan, August 16 was imprisoned in the city, brother and wife exiled for 3,000 miles, and his home was also confiscated.

Punishment is the most tragic way of execution in the death penalty, it belongs to the combination of car splitting the body and chopping punishment, making people die in an extremely painful condition, Emperor Chongzhen carried out the punishment of Yuan Chonghuan, so treat a civil official of the second grade, it can be seen how much anger Chongzhen has in his heart.

These things are very far away from Wu Fanhui, and when the county Cheng talks about these things, his tone is also calm, although the distance between Mizhi County and Jingshi is only less than 2,000 miles, but there is a political separation of 108,000 miles, and anything in the capital, if there is no report from the imperial court, Mizhi County cannot know.

Wu Fanhui gradually regained his calm, but Wang Hecui was talking about the engagement again, and even Wu Qingchao agreed, but the actual situation did not allow it, because Wu Fanhui was about to leave Mizhi County in the first month and rush to the capital to participate in the examination.

The changes in Ma'anshan Village have not attracted a lot of attention, the main reason is that thanks to the efforts of the Wu family, most of the land in the village was obtained by the Wu family at an extremely low price, and some were even obtained for nothing, and the owner of these acquired lands became Wu Qingchao, so Ma'anshan Village became all the personal property of Wu Qingchao's family, so the guards of the Wu family are not allowed to live here, and no one is allowed to approach, which is justified.

Ma'anshan Village is divided into two parts, the place outside close to the official road is where some people who return to the village live, and the place near the mountain, ordinary people are not allowed to enter casually, there is a special handle at the intersection, this is the place where the Wu family guards are located, and the mountains have become a place for many guards to train on weekdays, which will not attract any attention.

Wu Fanhui often went to Ma'anshan Village, but he was unable to participate in training.

Time blink of an eye to the end of November, on this day, Wu Fanhui, who had just returned to the county seat, saw two familiar figures.

After dismounting, he handed the reins in his hand to Wang Baofu beside him, and walked forward quickly.

"Brother Wen, Brother Changhong, I didn't expect you to come so soon."

Chen Minghui and Ye Kaiyi were on the street, looking at everything around them, they were all dressed as scholars, which also attracted the attention of some people.

The two turned around, saw Wu Fanhui, and immediately hugged their fists in greeting.

"Brother Qianjue, we have been running all the way, and we don't dare to delay the slightest time, I wanted to inquire about where you live, but who knew that as soon as we spoke, someone said, it seems that you are famous here."

"Brother Wen said and laughed, Mizhi County is my middle school this year, of course everyone knows, you are dressed as a scholar, and you are a face person, others will see it, they must know that you are afraid that you are coming to me."

When he came to the front of the house, Chen Minghui looked at the house in front of him carefully, as if he couldn't believe it, the dignified township tried to solve the yuan, and there was still such a small house, which was a bit strange, and before they entered the county, they had heard that the largest family in Mizhi County was the Wu family, and Wu Fanhui was the most outstanding scholar of the Wu family.

Wu Fanhui explained with a smile.

"I live in this house, if a few years ago, I still lived in Ma'anshan Village, where almost all the caves are not as good as here."

"Brother Qianjue, you are a real person, I don't believe your words, your family must have houses in other places, we have heard along the way, the Wu family in Mizhi County is famous."

Wu Fanhui looked at Ye Kaiyi, and simply didn't explain, it is estimated that no matter how he explained, Chen Minghui and Ye Kaiyi would not believe it, especially Chen Minghui, after all, he is the son of the scholar family, and the conditions of Fengxiang Mansion City are much stronger than Mizhi County, and Yan'an Mansion City cannot be compared with Fengxiang Mansion City.

After entering, Chen Minghui stood in the courtyard for a while, and couldn't help nodding.

"Brother Qianjue, now I believe what you said, don't look at this small house, the feeling of coming in is different, if I can live here for a year and a half, I will definitely be promoted, and then go to the capital, maybe the emperor will order my champion."

Ye Kaiyi was a little puzzled and looked at Chen Minghui.

Wu Fanhui, of course, knew that this was a joke.

"Brother Wen, when I go to visit the mansion on the other day, I will prepare a big banner with the words Chen Minghui, the champion of the hand-picked palace, and I want to walk on the streets of Fengxiang Mansion, you see how it is."

Chen Minghui waved his hand again and again, and at this time Ye Kaiyi understood the meaning.

Chen Minghui and Ye Kaiyi soon met Wu Qingchao and Wang Hecui, they felt average about Wu Qingchao, but they were amazed by the temperament shown by Wang Hecui, which is obviously the temperament that only a big family can show.

Chen Minghui and Ye Kaiyi insisted on eating at home, but Wu Fanhui still arranged for Sihailou.

After seeing the signboard of Sihailou, Chen Minghui suddenly realized why Wu Fanhui chose to stay in the slightly more remote Sihailou Inn after arriving in Xi'an, which turned out to be influenced by thoughts and emotions.

When he walked towards Sihai Tower, Chen Minghui spoke.

"Brother Qianjue, this time Brother Changhong and I came to Mizhi County, I plan to go to the capital with you, there are still three years left in the next township test, Brother Changhong also plans to go to Guozijian to study, we all think along the way, I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you."

Wu Fanhui smiled and spoke.

"Don't say troublesome words, the conditions in Mizhi County are not good, you may not be used to it, all your accommodations are in the best inn in the county, everything is arranged by me, you don't have to worry about it."

"It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, I'm really embarrassed."

"Don't say these words between brothers, if I go to Fengxiang Mansion City one day, I will also trouble the two of you."

Although Chen Minghui is the deputy list of the middle school, he is also the identity of a person, which is also very good in Mizhi County, so after they arrived at Sihai Tower, Wu Mianqing soon arrived.

After some introduction, Chen Minghui and Ye Kaiyi hurriedly saluted Wu Mianqing, they were the same year as Wu Fanhui, and their seniority was the same, so it was a gift for Wu Mianqing's younger generation.

The meal was very enjoyable, Chen Minghui and Ye Kaiyi were very interested, and they were very bold when they drank, they had gone through a long journey, in fact, they were already very tired, but they just saw Wu Fanhui, and they were in a good mood, but this wine strength was much worse, and as a result, both of them drank and fell down.

Wu Fanhui arranged for Ma Jigang, Wang Baofu and others to help the two to the inn next to Sihailou, and sent them into the guest room, and settled the two to sleep.

Wu Mianqing never left, and waited until Wu Fanhui came out of the inn and spoke slowly.

"Qian Jue, Wen Lu and Changhong are the same year as yours, I think the two of them are still good, they are measured in their words and actions, this Wen Lu has a good temperament, and between his gestures, he can see the demeanor of the children of the family."

"Patriarch, Wen Lu is the son of the scholar family, his grandfather was an official in the capital, and he only returned home two years ago, and Changhong is also the son of the squire family."

"Yes, it's good to make friends with such young people, last time I talked about the matter of the He family, and then I also figured it out, your way of dealing with it is correct, just like you make friends."

Speaking of this, Wu Mianqing paused.

"Qian Jue, when I was in the middle of the day, I just learned the news that He Fangzhen, the patriarch of the He family, has entered the dying moment, and Lang Zhong said that he would prepare for the future."

Wu Fanhui nodded, he didn't feel particularly surprised, he admired He Fangzhen's tenacity of vitality, in fact, the last time he saw He Fangzhen, he made a judgment, this old man can't hold on for a long time, it's been a month, during which he heard several times that He Fangzhen is not good, but he survived, this time Lang Zhong said that there is no hope, it will definitely not be able to survive.

Once He Fangzhen passed away, the blow to the He family was huge, He Luoxuan's qualifications were obviously not enough, and he did not have much influence as the patriarch, whether it was in the county or within the family, it can be said that there were many difficulties to face, and the Wu family would grow rapidly at this time, He Fangzhen may have thought of this and was slow to breathe.

He Fangkui and He Fangbing of the He family, although they are officials outside, and He Fangkui is still an official in the capital, and their status is noble, but after all, they are too far away to take care of the He family directly.

"Patriarch, Qian Jue is going to take a look, after all, it is also a big family in Mizhi County."

"It's okay, you go and take a look, it represents the intention of the Wu family, the He family will definitely remember it, go tomorrow, I see that Wen Lu and Changhong can also follow."

Wu Fanhui looked at Wu Mianqing and nodded, did not speak, and took Chen Minghui and Ye Kaiyi together, the meaning could not be more obvious, I believe that the people of the He family must understand the meaning when they see all this.
