This beautiful young woman who makes Liu Jun a little scared is Liu Jun's sister-in-law Mei, the daughter-in-law of the eldest brother Liu Zhao, the Mei family of Macheng Qiligang, is the Mei family, the head of the four major families in Macheng, but it is its side branch, and his father is also an old Xiucai, and Liu Jun's father Liu Xiu used to study with Xiucai in the same school, and then the two of them have not been lifted for many years, and the relationship between them is very good.

Liu Mei's two families set a baby kiss many years ago, and then Liu Zhao officially married Mei six years ago, and gave birth to a son Liu Hong a year later.

From his memory, Liu Jun found that this sharp person-wife-young woman was actually the same age as himself, Liu Jun was twenty years old, and his sister-in-law was only three months older than him.

Sister-in-law Mei Lingran followed up a little reluctantly, and said in the back, "I see that the second uncle is not young anymore, and now he is also an upright martial artist, it is time to consider personal marriage matters, or how about my sister-in-law help you Zhang Luo?" ”

Liu Jun couldn't bear it, he was a single king in his previous life, and he had a lot of girlfriends, but he was the most afraid of marriage. Now that he has just arrived in Daming, he is in the dark, and let him get married on a blind date. This is too early, and he found that even a beautiful woman like his sister-in-law has a pair of small feet, so how can he accept it if he also introduces him to a talented family's little foot daughter.

And doesn't it show that women in the Qing era were the most conservative, why is the sister-in-law so familiar with herself?

"Second uncle!" As soon as the little nephew saw his uncle, he immediately couldn't care about the endorsement, and hurriedly ran over.

Yi Feng caught Liu Hong, and he didn't have any strangeness to this nephew who was sticking to him and refused to go down, it seemed that the original Liu Jun had a very good relationship with this nephew.

"If you are prepared, you will stand, and if you don't prepare, you will be wasted. The pre-word rule is not to stumble, the pre-rule is not sleepy, the pre-action rule is not guilty, and the pre-road rule is not poor. Yi Feng hugged his nephew, and then said the paragraph that his nephew hadn't memorized just now, "You read the Book of Rites so quickly. is moderate, this will definitely be a high school champion in the future. Uncle asks you, do you know what I meant by the passage I just recited? ”

Liu Hong shook his head, "Second uncle taught me." ”

Liu Jun smiled slightly proudly, "Okay, Second Uncle tells you, what these words mean is that everything can be successful if you are prepared in advance, and you will fail if you are not prepared; If you are prepared to speak, you will not be unreasonable; If you are prepared in advance, you will not encounter difficulties and setbacks; If you make a plan before you act, you won't regret your mistakes. If the principles of being a human being can be decided in advance, it will not be unworkable. Remember, these words are Dai Sheng's rites in the Western Han Dynasty. The mean. ”

Mei Shi couldn't help but be a little stunned when he heard the little uncle's words about his son in the back, and he was puzzled.

The little uncle is not the most disgusted to read, usually good at dancing knives and sticks and then making friends everywhere, and finally the father-in-law can't do it, so he gave up wanting him to take the road of the imperial examination and enter the office, and wanted to let him go home and farm honestly, but this little uncle also has some ability, and he has made more friends abroad, so that he can borrow the relationship of those friends, and finally enter the martial arts of Huangzhou Wei, become a martial arts student, have to be given a towel, and enjoy preferential exemption from miscellaneous errands.

It seems that the little uncle has been outside for two years, and he has also learned some skills, not only learning martial arts and bow horses, but also learning a lot of four books and five classics.

was talking, but saw Yahuan Bao'er trotting over again, and said to Liu Jun from a distance: "Second young master, eldest young grandmother, the old man has fainted." ”

"What's going on?" Liu Jun asked.

"It's not that Zhang Butcher who bullies people!" The little girl panted and led Liu Jun into the house while explaining.

It turns out that the village where Liu Jun and his family live is called Xiwan, because it is not far from the county seat, and it is choked by the traffic arteries, where the trade route must pass, so it has already formed a large market, with thousands of households, and there are many wealthy and powerful households.

The Liu family can only be regarded as a medium family in the town, and the neighbors of the Liu family turned out to be pig-killing, known as Zhang Butcher, borrowed some relationships to monopolize the slaughter business in the town, and made a lot of money.

Maybe it was because he was just a pig butcher in his early years, and he may have some inferiority complex and depression in the face of Daddy Liu's show, but now he often deliberately makes some trouble for the Liu family once he is in power. Liu Jun's father, Liu Xiu, is an old talent, who has studied books and examined the imperial examination for a lifetime, and is not the kind of person who likes to compete with others, especially now that Zhang Tuhu has also produced a son.

As a result, the Liu family retreated, but only let Zhang Butcher get worse.

Especially in the past two years, Liu Jun, the second son of the Liu family, has been studying martial arts in Fucheng, and the eldest son is also a soft son like Liu Xiu, which is even more bullying.

No, today Daddy Liu planned to slaughter the fat pig raised at home because his second son came back, but when he did it, he accidentally let the pig run away.

The pig just ran to the front of Zhang's house opposite, and then Zhang's butcher directly opened the door and drove the pig into his pen, and the Liu family went to ask for it, but the Zhang family said that the pig belonged to theirs. In the end, he also said that if you want a pig, you can buy it with silver, five taels of silver.

This is simply a robbery, not to mention that this pig originally belonged to the Liu family, and even if you go to the market to buy a pig, it will not cost so much money. A pound of good pork is only two cents of silver, and a hundred pounds of good net pork is only two taels of silver.

Old man Liu and Zhang butcher's father and son argued according to theory, but an old Xiucai had never talked about a butcher, and in the end, not only did he not want to return the pig, but he also fainted angrily at the door of Zhang's house, which was carried back.

"This Zhang butcher deceives people too much, how can he be like this, and there is no justice for the king."

As soon as Liu Jun entered the hall, he heard a very angry voice, and when he heard this voice, he knew that this must be his eldest brother Liu Zhao. Just like the tone of this voice, the eldest brother Liu Zhao is a man who is a little weak. Since he was a child, he studied with his father, and then he read for more than 20 years, and he is still just a child.

The so-called child is to take the imperial examination and pass a total of eight examinations in the county examination and the government examination, but he did not pass the college examination, and he did not even achieve fame.

Therefore, this child is actually a little higher than ordinary people, but in fact, he doesn't even have the slightest privilege. After being admitted to Xiucai, he can still be exempted from the two dings of the family, and the official does not need to kneel, but Tong Sheng does not have this treatment.

Liu Zhaowen can't succeed, and neither can martial arts, he has been reading and reading, taking the exam, and he must continue to read and take the exam.

Usually I don't listen to things outside the window, I only read the sages and sages, and I don't care about firewood, rice, oil and salt, Daddy Liu also sat in a restaurant and became a gentleman to make some money, but Liu Zhao has been eating white rice at home, and he doesn't make money just by stretching his hands.

Fortunately, he married a good wife, although the Mei family is only a talented family, but the Mei family is the head of the four major families in Macheng, the Mei family is relatively well-off, and when he got married, he brought a lot of dowry, forty acres of land and a shop, which allowed him to be a hands-off shopkeeper all these years.

But the more this is the case, the more isolated he becomes, and he concentrates on studying, which leads to the result that his communication skills are very weak, just like now, he is bullied like this, and he only dares to complain in front of his family at home, and he doesn't even dare to stand at the door of Zhang's house and scold a few words on the street.

When Liu Jun saw Boss Liu like this, he had to shake his head helplessly, but he was blessed, married a good wife, and gave birth to an obedient son.

"Wang Fa? Zhang Butcher's son-in-law is the county Cheng, and his eldest son also donated to be a prisoner, and now his second son has won the new lift, who is still holding down Zhang Butcher in this Xiwan Town. Forget it, a pig is just a matter of two taels of silver, just like swine fever and died, a pig can't be poor for us, can't send them. ”

Daddy Liu had woken up at this time, lying on the bamboo chair with a depressed expression, and he was very excited, and in the face of a bully like the Zhang family, Daddy finally had to knock his teeth into his stomach, swallow his anger, and calm down.

Liu Jun's mother is an old lady with no sense of existence, sitting on the side and not saying a word.

"If there is a person in our family, how dare he bully us like this?" After Daddy Zhang sighed, he began to take the opportunity to inspire his children and grandchildren, but unfortunately he glanced at a few men in the house, but he couldn't help but be disappointed. He gave birth to three sons, although the eldest studied hard, but it was not this material at all, after reading for many years, he was only a child, even he was not as good, he was even a showman.

Not to mention the second child, he is dishonest when he is young, he refuses to study at all, he wants him to farm at home, he is not at ease, and he goes out to make those fox friends and dog friends, but this kid is a smart one, and actually let him enter the martial arts school to become a martial artist, which is also a martial arts talent, if he participates in the martial arts township test in the future, he can also be a military attachΓ©, although martial arts are not as good as literature, but if he really wants to be an official, whether he is a military attache or a civil official, he will also be glorified by the Liu family.

However, if the old Liu family really wants to make a career by studying, they have to count on the third child who is not at home. The third Liu Jian is only thirteen this year, but he has already been admitted to the Tong Sheng, although he did not show talent for the first time, but he is still young, and there is always a chance with his talent. Now the third child is studying in the county academy, and he is the most promising talent and one of the most promising talents in the Liu family. Daddy Liu's hope for the third child is to be able to win a lift, but as for Jinshi, he doesn't dare to hope for extravagance.

Liu Zhao lowered his head a little ashamedly, he knew his own affairs, and the more exams he took, the less confident he was in the exam.

Sister-in-law Mei Shi said to her son Liu Hong at this time, "Did you hear what your grandfather said, study hard, and come out of the Jinshi exam in the future, so we don't have to worry about others bullying us." ”
