Chapter 172: The Zhou family was pitted

"I'll show you, even if my writing is not as good as his, I have read it hard."

"You're hard at it?" Zhang Yi looked incredulous, "I'd better figure it out myself, it's better to ask me if you ask." ”

"But I was lucky in the exam, but I lost it for two years, and the last time King Yan commented on our article, I was still above you."

"Look, then." Zhang Yi showed him the article, and Fang Li read it for a long time, "How is it?" Don't you think you're very good? ”

"Liu'er, go and see, why hasn't Brother Zhou come yet." Fang Li directly called Liu'er to find someone.

"Childe, Zhang Gongzi, Zhou Gongzi said that he would not come today for the time being."

"What's wrong?" Fang Li stood up at this time, and Zhang Yi also looked over, "Why are you so nervous?" ”

"Do you want me to give you a mirror to look at, I guess it's worse than my face."

"Childe, it's a matter that is spreading in the town, and it spread yesterday. A girl in Taohua Village was disfigured by the child daughter-in-law of Liujia Village. Later, the child daughter-in-law was picked up, and she had deceived Zhou Gongzi before, so Mrs. Zhou did not let Zhou Gongzi go out for the time being, and it is estimated that she will not come for a few days. ”

"Brother Zhou was deceived?" Fang Li's eyes rolled and asked Zhang Yi to follow, he went to ask Linglong, it was absolutely clear.

Liu'er stood there scratching his ears, what's going on? Follow the past or continue to watch the door?

Linglong was just about to go out, but was stopped by Fang Li, "Brother Li, I'm going to Zhou's Mansion, you don't study hard, why did you run out?" ”

"Let's go too, I can't solve Brother Zhang's article today, doesn't it mean that Brother Zhou was deceived, we will be taken care of by him, it's good to comfort him."

"You guys are too ill-informed, if you want to go, you can go together, if your father and mother know, you will be told again."

Linglong let them all get in the car, and then slowly said the reason. That day, Zhou Peng was resting at the entrance of the town, originally just drinking a cup of tea and leaving, when he saw a family coming in, a fool was still holding a book and reading, so he talked to them.

The family's child daughter-in-law is very good at talking, and she likes to twist her waist and brag, Zhou Peng felt that the fool was a person with reading ideas, so he spent one hundred and fifty taels to buy it. Originally, this matter had passed for a while, and the Zhou family and the Chen family hadn't thought too much about it. However, the Chen family in Xiaocheng is related to the Yulian family, and their family was disturbed by an adopted daughter, and they came to the town early this morning, and heard that they were going to lose this adopted daughter.

As soon as the Lian family summed it up, they felt that the Zhou Mansion had been very unlucky recently, so they sent people to do things, who knows, the Zhou family was hotly discussed by the people in the town early in the morning.

One hundred and fifty taels is not a lot for their people who do business, but it is more for ordinary people. Zhou Peng is rarely good at dealing with people outside, and his writing is excellent, if he doesn't suppress the news, he will be turned out in the future, and maybe there will be many bad things to push on him.

"Brother Zhou was really deceived by one hundred and fifty taels?" If it had been before, Zhang Yi would have been surprised, but too many things have happened in the past few months, and he has been very open to money.

"Yes, you don't know, Yulian is angry, but the money has already been spent, it was originally a good intention to give some money to the poor, but it was rumored that the Zhou family was oppressing people, and I don't know how the Zhou Mansion is now."

Linglong was about to shake her head, but fortunately, Fang Li's most shot was more than eighty taels, and he didn't support the poor, so he wasn't targeted. Both of them started with hard work to make money, and they didn't coax people everywhere to get it, so it was really a little thing that was magnified.

The Zhou Mansion, the Lian family and Lord Lin walked back and forth, every account of the Zhou family was very clear, and the money passed down by the ancestors, plus the money earned with the Chen family and the Fang family, every sum was recorded.

"Old Mrs. Zhou, if your family's financial resources are placed in a big city, there is absolutely no problem, the people in the town are also idle, more than one hundred taels is enough for a farmer to feed a family, and you can live a lifetime of farming and playing, of course you will be told."

"Lord Lin, my son was also kind at the time, he was young and ignorant, and after marrying a daughter-in-law at home, he didn't like to go out to play, so he liked to read with the sons of the Fang family."

"This official knows, last time King Yan took a fancy to Zhou Gongzi's article at a glance, and this official admired it so much."

"Well, how did this come to be." Lian is very good at following Lord Lin's words, there is no shadow in the first place, and they are also victims.

"This matter will be handled impartially and will give Zhou Gongzi a good reputation. As for this child daughter-in-law who treats diseases indiscriminately, she doesn't know where to get a war horse, and the saddle on it is all things from the barracks, and it is estimated that there are a little more things about this Liu family. ”

"War horses?" Yulian was shocked when she heard this, it was an official thing, this family really had a big appetite, and they actually rode a war horse to show it around.

"Yes, this official will go to Liujia Village in person, don't worry, the case will be closed today." Lord Lin said goodbye and told the arresters to leave, so that the yamen could prepare for trial.

Zhou Peng was playing with a pen in the study, and after he studied at home, he rarely talked to those disciples and literati, and even Xiao Cheng didn't go to play. In the future, it is better to go out less, so as not to see any one who is pitiful, and drown himself as soon as he makes a move.

"Xianggong, Master Lin is gone, let me tell you, this matter is none of your business, don't think about it." Yulian came in with lotus seed soup, Lord Lin is a good official, and he can't be mistaken.

"Don't eat it!" Zhou Peng continued to turn the pen, and his mood was extremely bad.

"You eat a little first, Linglong is really interesting, and I came here with the son of the Fang family and the son of the Zhang family. You don't have anything to eat in your stomach, if they come to the study to talk to you for a while, and leave the popularity, how can they go to the exam together when the time comes. ”

"Really?" Zhou Peng immediately became energetic, and he didn't turn his pen, "Where are the people?" ”

"My good father-in-law, eat a little first, I haven't eaten since the morning, and I'm going to go out to see the oil in a while, and to see where those people have lost their adopted daughters. It's really nonsense, just send it back to the village of the adopted daughter's hometown, why throw it in the town. ”

Yulian scooped a spoonful, blew it cold and fed it to Zhou Peng, "You are also not worried, I have a lot of things to do today, it just happened that Linglong came, I will go with her, otherwise I will drag you to follow." ”

"Well, let's go with you." Zhou Peng took the bowl and came over to eat, and finished it in a few bites, "There are many things today, and I am also listening to my mother's chatter at home, so let's go out together." ”

"Would you like to hang out with me? Last time, both of you were absent-minded when you looked at the flowers, and you can't go wrong today, so don't go out, let's go out and have a look first. ”
