Feng Cheng's words poured cold water on You Shi's eagerness, causing her face to change suddenly.

"Will you get your grandfather in trouble?"

When You was a child, his family background was only better than that of ordinary people, and as a small family, Jasper was unwavering, and when he grew up, he married into the Feng family, which had a more ordinary family background.

It was a relationship between her father and Feng Shangshu after they were admitted to the Jinshi in the same year.

Later, Feng Shangshu rose step by step, Mrs. Niu grasped the power of the housekeeper, and the You family still lived a life of no worries.

Later, when her husband died, You was widowed, and she didn't care about anything.

It's just in the inner house, and You Shi can be said to be black-eyed about things outside.

Feng Cheng understood his mother, listened to You Shi's question, and analyzed carefully: "Do you think, the imperial examination is under the control of the Ministry of Rites, and my grandfather is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but my cousin cheated, will others suspect that my grandfather is secretly helping?" ”

You Shi's face turned pale.

"And big brother! The eldest brother took the second place in the exam this time, and others thought that if the grandfather helped his cousin, could his grandson not care? Maybe you have to suspect that there is something wrong with the second place of the eldest brother......"

Listening to her daughter's speech, You Shi was already stupid.

She was anxious about her mother's accident, and if it would endanger her son, of course she chose not to cause trouble for her son.

It's not that she's unkind, but if her nephew really cheats, he will be punished after being exposed. She can't burden her innocent sons and daughters for the sake of her nephew who has made mistakes.

After a long while, You Shi calmed down and smiled reluctantly at Feng Cheng: "I'll ask your grandfather about the specific situation first." ”

"Then I'll go with my mother." Feng Cheng reached out and grabbed You Shi's arm.

With his daughter by his side, You felt more at ease and naturally would not refuse.

At this time, it was said that it was the time for Feng Shangshu to go to the office, but when You Shi went out today, he knew that his father-in-law had not left the house, so he took Feng Cheng directly to Feng Shangshu.

Feng Shangshu did not live in Changning Hall, but set up another courtyard as a place to live and study.

Seeing that his daughter-in-law came with her granddaughter, Feng Shangshu knew it in his heart, and asked with a smile on his face: "Is there something wrong with the eldest daughter-in-law?" ”

You Shi blessed his body, lowered his head and said: "My daughter-in-law went back to her parents' house to visit her mother today, but she was arrested by an official messenger, saying that my nephew was involved in the imperial examination fraud...... My daughter-in-law is here to ask you about your situation. ”

Feng Shangshu was silent for a while, and sighed: "You Hanzhang did cheat, so I avoided suspicion and withdrew from the investigation." ”

You Shi trembled, and his face was like gold paper.

It took a while for her voice to regain her voice: "That...... What are the penalties for Hanzhang? ”

Seeing that his daughter-in-law was about to faint, Feng Shangshu was relieved: "Don't worry, the most serious thing for candidates to cheat is the distribution frontier, if he cooperates well with the investigation, it shouldn't come to this point." ”

In fact, the most serious thing is execution, so there is no need to say it to scare the daughter-in-law.

Dispatch Frontier?

You Shi's body shook, but fortunately Feng Cheng helped him not to fall.

Feng Shangshu was silent.

Why do you want to faint when you are so comforted?

Lao Shangshu cast a look for help to his granddaughter.

Feng Cheng hurriedly said, "Mother, don't worry. Didn't my grandfather say that as long as my cousin truthfully explained the details of cheating, he would be punished lightly. ”

After listening to the comfort of the two, You Shi breathed a sigh of relief: "Father-in-law, my daughter-in-law doesn't understand the things outside, I just ask you to help Hanzhang without trouble, so that his punishment will be lighter." ”

"They are all relatives, if I can help, I will take care of it." Feng Shangshu is very easy to speak.

"My daughter-in-law has caused you trouble." You bent his knees and offered to retire.

Feng Shangshu said softly: "Go ahead." By the way, Orange stays for a while, Grandpa has something to tell you. ”

As soon as You Shi left, Feng Shangshu beckoned Feng Cheng to sit down, and took a sip of tea slowly: "Orange, do you think grandfather should help?" ”

Feng Cheng felt that this was very meaningful, and thought for a while: "Didn't grandfather just promise that my mother would help if she could?" ”

If you can't help, then you won't help.

You Shi was flustered and didn't understand what Feng Shangshu meant, but Feng Cheng understood.

Feng Cheng's rhetorical question made Feng Shangshu's heart move.

The granddaughter actually understood what he meant.

When the mother didn't understand, when the girl understood, this made Feng Shangshu a little emotional.

He was silent at all: "If grandfather can't help, don't cry." ”

Feng Cheng smiled: "Why does my granddaughter cry her nose?" Cheating in the imperial examination is a shortcut to the wrong path, and now it has been found out that at most it will lose some money, and from then on, it will be a small people who keep to themselves. If you take the wrong path after stepping into the official career, you may end up in the destruction of your family. ”

"Do you really think so?" Feng Shangshu's eyes were deep.

Feng Cheng nodded.

Feng Shangshu laughed loudly: "Orange is transparent. ”

Feng Cheng lowered his eyes to hide his self-deprecation.

Seeing the true face of my uncle's family, can I not see through?

"It's actually a bit strange that your grandfather told you to stay." Feng Shangshu changed the topic.

Feng Cheng waited quietly for Feng Shangshu to continue.

Feng Shangshu stroked his beard: "Orange was so concerned about the fraud in the imperial examination some time ago, but I didn't expect this township test to really happen." ”

Grandfather's meaningful gaze fell on his face, and Feng Cheng's face did not change: "Yes, this is too coincidental." ”

The grandfather and grandson looked at each other and smiled.

"Let's go back."

When Feng Cheng returned to the Late Autumn Residence, he heard Bai Lu report that Ouyang Jing had come to look for her.

Thinking that Ouyang Jing would be uneasy at this moment, she decided to go out again.

Feng Cheng went to the eldest princess's mansion every day to practice martial arts, where there was a special room for her to bathe, and every time she practiced, she would go home after bathing and changing, and she would save time to change her clothes when she went out again.

When Feng Cheng arrived at Ouyang's house, Ouyang Jing was cleaning up the yard with her maidservant.

The pomegranates that rolled everywhere were gone, and only the pomegranate tree that had fallen to the ground left the two girls helpless.

Feng Cheng looked at this scene and was sincerely happy for Ouyang Jing.

With the intention of cleaning the yard, it proved that it was a good thing for Ouyang Jing that her brother was taken away, which made her look forward to life.

Without the support of his father and brother, life will indeed be difficult in the future, but no matter what, it is much better than the ending of attempted elopement and being beaten to death by his biological father.

"Sister Feng, there is chaos in the courtyard, let's go into the house and sit." Ouyang Jing beckoned Feng Cheng into the house and poured her a cup of tea.

"Brother Ling was taken away by the official, Bai Lu told me."

Ouyang Jing clutched the teacup tightly, bit her lip and said, "Sister Feng's grandfather is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Sister Feng must know more than me." I called Sister Feng to ask my eldest brother what the punishment would be for cheating in the imperial examination. ”

Will it even affect her and her mother, and even rely on each other for a long time?

Feng Cheng understood what Ouyang Jing was thinking, and comforted: "I heard my grandfather say that if the circumstances of the candidates who cheat in the imperial examination are minor, they will be disqualified from the imperial examination and fined money, and if the circumstances are more serious, they will be assigned to the frontier, and their family members will also be punished for participating in the opening of the joints. ”

"What if the family doesn't know?"

Feng Cheng smiled: "Of course it's fine." ”
