By the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, all kinds of negative news about the Yang family had spread throughout Huyin County, and even people in the surrounding areas had heard about it.

In fact, this is not only the credit of the Xie family and their in-laws, but also the Yang family itself. It's just that they wanted to take the opportunity to slander Xie Meijun's reputation and step on Yang Yiquan by the way, but they never expected that the rumors spread out, which does not mean that others will believe it.

The Yang family is not as many as the Xie clan, and they have always had a history of treating Yang Yiquan and Xie Meijun and his wife harshly. In addition, their family style is not right, from Mrs. Yang to take the lead, the family is arrogant, stupid and narrow-minded, the popularity is not very good, there are very few people who will be angry with their nostrils, most of them just listen to gossip and watch the play with their hands. The Yang family's accusations of Xie Meijun and Yang Yiquan are all old-fashioned and nothing new, but the words of the Xie family accusing the Yang family are more sensational and more willing to discuss and spread. The reputation of the Xie family is better than that of the Yang family, and public opinion is more inclined to the Xie family. So the Yang family just like that.

The Yang family soon found that the situation was not good, but the people of their family always felt that their eldest family was a big official, they were official dependents, and their status was not comparable to ordinary people, and there was nothing to fear. Although Xie Meijun has a father who has been an official, everyone has been dead for 20 years, leaving only one academy, what is there to worry about? As for Yang Yiquan, he was greatly favored by Lord Yang, and he never dared to have any disobedience, otherwise he would not want his reputation. In the past ten years, they have not bullied Yang Yiquan and Xie Meijun, every time the former endured it, the latter didn't want to bear it, and was stopped by the former. As long as the Yang family plays the banner of Master Yang, they can suppress Yang Yi's whole family honestly. There will be no surprises this time.

The Yang family is not worried that their family will suffer a big loss, but they are worried that these news will reach Mrs. Yang's ears, and she will be angry with them again. In case Master Yang knows about these things and writes back to reprimand his wife and children, Mrs. Yang will be even more angry with them. Therefore, the Yang family met in private and decided to hide the news from Mrs. Yang's mother and son, and at the same time put pressure on Yang Yiquan to hurry up and appease his wife and the Yue family, and the matter will pass.

Mrs. Yang was blocked by the clansmen in disguise, and because the weather was too cold, her son was reluctant to go out to find relatives and friends, only her mother's family and daughter-in-law's family brought the news over, and now everyone in the county said that their Yang family acted excessively, was mean and unkind, bullied their nephews, and openly turned their faces with their in-laws for the sake of small profits on the rope of cement, and so on, and persuaded them that the Yang family came forward to solve the matter as soon as possible. Yang Yiquan and Xie Meijun are on their side, if they can be appeased, they will be appeased, as long as their husband and wife are willing to make a harmonious and close appearance with the Yang family, outsiders will naturally not meddle in matters anymore.

However, Mrs. Yang didn't care, she felt that this was a great opportunity, so she discussed with her son: "Since Yang Yiquan and the Xie family are at odds with each other for the matter of taking a concubine, let's simply do the matter!" Hurry up and pick someone and send it to Yang Yiquan, so that they can round the house as soon as possible. If Xie Shi can't help this breath and really falls out with Yang Yiquan, then there will be a good show! If Xie endured this breath, there would be times when she would be uncomfortable in the future! If the person we send can give birth to a son and a half daughter to Yang Yiquan in the future, half of the Xie family's second house will fall into our hands! ”

Her son thought more long-term than her: "What if the Xie family really wants to make peace with Yang Yiquan?" Mother, what does dad mean, you know it in your heart. If it really destroys Yang Xie's marriage, after my father knows about it, he will definitely not spare us. ”

"What else can he do with me?!" Mrs. Yang stretched her face, "He is alone in the world of flowers, he left our mother and son to suffer in his hometown, and he wrote back again and again, either reprimanding or telling him not to do this, not to do that, our life is not as good as when he was not an official before, why?!" Yang Yiquan is just a poor worm without a father and a mother, relying on our family to give him a bowl of rice to survive, why can he follow a good gentleman to study, take the examination to be a lifter, and get a good family like the Xie family, be the head of Zhushan Academy, and everyone respects him? ! Isn't it because your father is biased? People who don't know still think that Yang Yiquan is his own son, you just picked it up from outside! I'm just asking your father to give justice to our mother and son. If he really dares to turn his face with us, I will take you to Yangzhou to make trouble and make him lose face! ”

Her son was still hesitant, he didn't think that Yang Yiquan's life should have been his own, after all, he didn't study at all, when he was a child, his father asked his husband to come back to teach him, and he coped with everything. The gentleman wanted to punish him, but it was also his mother who protected him and drove him away. He just wants to find a way to donate officials, and he doesn't plan to study hard in the cold window, let alone be a son-in-law like Yang Yiquan.

He persuaded his mother again: "If we really go that far, my father will hate us to death." What if my father can't take my mother, but he can beat me on the board, I don't dare to take risks! ”

Mrs. Yang glared at her son hatefully: "Something that has no interest!" Your father is only one of your sons, what are you afraid of? Can he still beat you to death?! ”

Her son is not afraid of his mother's anger at all: "Even if you don't kill me, if you hit ten or twenty boards, I will hurt." Besides, your son already has a son, God knows if the father will take the grandson away, regardless of whether the son lives or dies? It's not like he didn't mention this before, so why did he take the initiative to hand the handle to his father? Now Yang Yiquan is also in trouble, we just need to watch the excitement. ”

"No!" Mrs. Yang couldn't swallow this breath, "He relied on us to get to where he is today, why did he live a good life by himself, but he refused to listen to me?!" Now that his wings are stiff, he turns his face and denies people, and does not take me, the eldest aunt, in his eyes, and presses on your head everywhere. If you don't teach him a lesson, he'll forget who he is! ”

Mrs. Yang is psychologically unbalanced, and she refuses to let go of her nephew easily no matter what, although her son thinks it is unnecessary, he will not go against his mother for the sake of his cousin, who has always had a bad relationship. As a result, all kinds of negative remarks about Yang Yiquan arose in various parts of Huyin County.

When Xie Jiajia released the news, he also took into account the faces of Xie Meijun and her two children, and didn't say much about Yang Yiquan, at most he said that he was weak, not responsible, and couldn't protect his wife and children.

Mrs. Yang didn't care so much, and directly released the rumor that Yang Yiquan was greedy and lustful, and bullied his wife for the sake of a concubine. Immediately, she sent two bewitching women to Yang Yiquan, who were redeemed from the Qinglou in the county seat, saying that they were performing arts, adding fragrance to her nephew's red sleeves.

The two women were just sent to the dock of Zhushan Academy, but they were stopped, and they were sent to Yang's house with people on the boat. The great Confucian left behind in Zhushan Academy declared that the academy is a quiet place to study, and no frivolous women are allowed to trespass, so please respect the Yang family!

Yang Yiquan has been living in the residence of the academy for the past few days, and he doesn't even dare to go out. Looking at the strange gazes of the great Confucians in the academy who stayed for the New Year, he really couldn't even raise his head.

At the same time, Xie Meijun also picked a healthy, plump, delicate and docile tenant's daughter, and sent it to the Yang family with gongs and drums, bringing four dowries, and clearly saying that this was the white white concubine that Yang Yiquan's wife chose for her husband.

Passers-by looked at the two noisy and deceitless women in front of Yang's house, and then turned their heads to look at the pink-clothed concubine who was sitting upright in the sedan chair on the other side, behaving properly, and with "I am the daughter of a good family" written on her face.
