Chapter 20: The Echo of the Mysterious Worm (6)

After listening to Yang Si's heartfelt words, the middle-aged merchant was also moved.

"Although his body is paralyzed, he still does not forget his mission, Yang Si, you are really a loyal and righteous person! Okay, the old man will take Yang Si and you to Guanliu Academy to find your young master.

However, the old man said first, I am trying my best to help you Yang Si now, not because I am greedy for this promised reward, but I can't bear to let loyal people hate for life because they have failed their mission. ”

After speaking, the middle-aged merchant leaned over and picked up Yang Si and slowly helped him to the pallet truck that he had rushed over.

After that, the middle-aged merchant untied Yang Si's horse to the side of the cart, properly packed up Yang Si's baggage, put it beside Yang Si, and finally raised the whip and shouted "drive", and drove the cart straight to Yizhou.

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

For the time being, I will not mention how Yang Si and the middle-aged merchant drove away, and turned back to say that Yang Congxun, who was looking forward to it day and night in Guanliu Academy.

On that day, Yang Xiucai patted Hu San's chest and said that as long as his family letter asking for entanglement arrived, his father would inevitably send someone to give him silver taels.

Yang Congxun's words are reasonable, but he has never made it clear to Hu San, that is, how many taels can his father give this time, Yang Congxun has no bottom in his heart.

It stands to reason that 'the male protagonist is outside, and the female protagonist is inside', and funding for children and grandchildren to study is a major event for the glory of the ancestors, and it should be allocated from the public account of the outer house, and it has nothing to do with the private account of the back house.

This is a matter of giving more and less to Master Yang, but why did Master Yang ask for money from the Yang Xu family who was in charge of the back house when he was planning for Yang Cong for the first time?

This Yang family is also a big family with two or three silk Zhuangzi, and they are doing such a big business outside, how can they not come up with a little money, and they have to go back to the back house to open their mouths to Mrs.

It turns out that the silk business of the Yang family can now be so prosperous, and it is due to more than half of the Yang Xu's mother's family.

Originally, the Yang family's silk business could only be regarded as mediocre, and it was nothing more than guarding an ancestral old silk shop.

But since the old man Yang married the Xu family, this mother's Xu family has given a lot of strength inside and out, not only the one hundred acres of fertile land under the name of the Xu family in the name of the mulberry garden to the Xu family as a dowry, but even the family work well The account room has also sent a lot of money to help the Yang family do some business, that is to ask for money to give money, and to have people.

With the strong support of Xu Dahu, in just a few years, the Yang family opened two new silk Zhuangzi in addition to the ancestral old shop, and this business is becoming more and more prosperous.

This brother-in-law is so helpful, he naturally hopes that in the future, the Yang family's family production capacity will fall into the hands of his own nephew.

The problem is that Yang Congxun is here as his eldest son, and his road to the field is also quite smooth, at the age of seventeen, he took the children's birth exam, and he was selected as a talent at the age of eighteen.

If it continues to develop at this rate, Yang Cong is likely to be promoted to an official at the age of twenty-three or four, and then wait for a vacancy and become a county magistrate.

There is a saying that 'the people do not fight with the officials'.

Once Yang Congxun became an official before his two half-brothers got any fame, then Yang Yu's position as the next head of the Yang family would be decided, and the Yang family's property would be decided by him, Master Yang Congxun.

The reason why Yang Xu was so stingy with Yang Yu in money and materials was to take this opportunity to let Yang Xiucai spend a few years in the science field.

When his two half-brothers also grow up to the age of being able to compete for fame in the imperial examination and can justifiably participate in the distribution of family property, Yang Xu will no longer be stingy with Yang Yu.

However, Yang Yu's father, Master Yang, always felt that he couldn't stand his son, but today's Yang family has the help of Yang Xu's mother's family to get to where it is today.

This 'has short hands and short mouths', so Master Yang turned a blind eye to Yang Xu's behavior of stingy son at home on weekdays, but he couldn't pretend anymore when his son went out to study and run for the future!

A few days ago, Master Yang first tried Yang Xu's tone on the grounds that he had no money on the account of the outer house, and then took the opportunity of Yang Yu to send a letter to ask for entanglement and quarreled with Yang Xu, which also took advantage of this to show that he firmly supported Yang Yu's attitude of fame in the field.

Yang Xu knew that he was at a loss, and after he was angry at home, he pretended not to know about Master Yang's withdrawal of heavy money from the silk village account to support Yang Yu.

Yang Congxun didn't know anything about the joints.

In his opinion, when he went out the door before, his father and mother made up two taels of silver; Now that I am begging for money, it is an unexpected joy to be able to have ten taels of entanglement.

In the future, if you want to find a reliable academy to invest in, this amount of money is really a bit stretched, so it is best to hide and avoid the limelight for now, lest Wu Shanchang see him and ask him to pay the tuition fee in person.

In addition, the day before yesterday, in order to reward the handlebar style of the academy who was willing to send a letter home for him, he used up the only copper plate flowers left on his body, and now Yang Xiucai's body is really clean and slippery, and there is no eldest son.

So in the past few days, Yang Congxun has been in the guest room of the academy every day, and even the three meals a day are delivered to the door by the academy man, who is afraid that he will smell the aroma of sauce and roast chicken again, but he has no money to satisfy his hunger.

At that time, if the gluttonous worms in this belly make trouble, I am afraid that they will be hungry on the spot.

In this way, it will be anxious to lose Wu Wenbiao, the mountain chief of Guanliu Academy.

On that day, under the pretext of Yang Cong's hard work, it was only a temporary expedient measure to leave him in the guest room of the academy for the time being.

Just after Yang Congxun left with the servants, Wu Shanchang immediately mobilized all his relationships, wanting to privately find a Confucian who knew "Zhou Yi" for himself to come back to save him.

But this is easier said than done, if it weren't for those famous Confucians with hills and valleys in their bellies, which Confucian scholar would have made the effort to study this subject and use the obscure "Book of Changes" in the field?

Wu Wenbiao asked people to search for two days near Yi County, and only found a fortune teller who gave people to interpret and play hexagrams at the temple fair hexagram stall.

After talking a few words, Wu Wenbiao found that this person just memorized a few hexagrams indiscriminately and came out to eat by unsigning and playing hexagrams, and this "Zhou Yi" was only familiar with reading and reciting.

If you really let it explain the essence of it, you are just picking up people's teeth and wisdom, and you can't say any clever truth.

Since the road of rescue does not work, you can only find someone to block the drive.

Fortunately, Wu Wenbiao and the county grandfather Li Desong and Mrs. Li were born in the same year, and they had a personal friendship with each other.

As long as you can ask Mrs. Li to reprimand Yang Congshun Meng Lang in person, so that he will focus on gaining merit in the future and focus on the other four classics, then everything will be fine.

After all, Wu Shanchang was born in the main department of Guozijian, as long as it is not the "Zhou Yi" that Guozijian will never teach, the remaining four classics will not be difficult for him.
