As soon as she heard the name of 'Cheng Qing', Mrs. Zhu became angry.

Since Cheng Qing's family returned to their hometown last spring, Mrs. Zhu's life is not as comfortable as in the past, and from time to time Cheng Qing has to make some moves to respond to her - obviously she wants to pay attention to Cheng Qing, every time Cheng Qing makes any progress, Mrs. Zhu is careful and uncomfortable, and she has to rely on Cheng Qing to find troubles!

But there was a room full of people, and no one thought there was anything wrong.

The two brothers, Cheng Zhixu and Cheng Zhishu, have been instilled with the concept of antagonism with Cheng Zhiyuan by Mrs. Zhu when they were growing up, and they are used to it.

They have vested interests, and they will not correct Mrs. Zhu's narrow-mindedness and selfishness.

If it weren't for the things that Mrs. Zhu did, most of the family business in the second room would have been inherited by Cheng Zhiyuan, the eldest son of the original spouse, and the two brothers would not be able to live their current lives.

Mrs. Zhu did not hide her dislike for Cheng Qing, and Cheng Zhishu also helped:

"Second brother, that little boy is indeed tricky and hateful, fortunately, he is still young now, and he has no future, otherwise his family will definitely be disturbed!"

What kind of nephew is that, it's clearly an enemy.

Cheng Zhishu scolded Cheng Qing mercilessly, and said what happened recently, "The imperial court must hurry up and make a conclusion on the case of disaster silver embezzlement." ”

Once the dust settles and the eldest brother Cheng Zhiyuan's crime is convicted, the clan will no longer secretly shelter Cheng Qing's kid, the son of a criminal official, no matter how clever he is, he will not be on the stage, he is just a buzzing fly.

"Disaster Silver Corruption Case...... Let's not talk about this matter for now, and wait for the court to make a decision, I will go to visit Uncle Xia Wutang tomorrow. ”

Cheng Zhixu stopped after saying half a sentence.

Old Madam Zhu felt a faint discomfort in her heart.

On the way to the post, the son made a special detour back to Nanyi, saying that he was visiting her as a mother, but he actually wanted to see the old man in the fifth room.

When the state is from the fifth grade, the second room should be the head of the five-room horse, which is the fourth prefect, and it can't get rid of the coercion of the fifth room?

In this way, when can we really raise our eyebrows and let Nanyi Cheng's respect for the second room!

No, Zhixu's son is the pillar of the family, Mrs. Zhu will not lose her son's face, hide her discomfort, or order her subordinates to clean the house, and ask Mama Zhou to take someone to the dock to pick up Cheng Zhixu's wife Zhong, and also ordered someone to go to the academy to report the news, so that Cheng Jue asked for leave to go home.

Cheng Zhixu hasn't been home for a few years, and the father and son haven't seen each other for a few years, when the father comes back, the son naturally wants to ask Ann to see him.

……

Willow Lane.

The bustle of the day has dissipated, and Yangliu Lane is only deserted.

Cheng Qing didn't know that his cheap second uncle Cheng Zhixu was back.

It's nothing to know, and now nothing is as important as her taking the county exam.

There were only ten days left for her.

Although Meng Huaijin told her a lot of test-taking skills before leaving, and also analyzed Li Zhixian's preferences, Meng Huaijin is not a god, how can he accurately know what to test in this year's county exam.

Asking Meng Huai to be the county test question is indeed overkill.

The content of the county examination is the most basic, whether you can recite the four books of silent writing, whether you can write poems that stipulate the rhyme and subject matter, and then make a Lunze essay, these contents have a fixed format, and you can't commit temple secrets, royal names and holy secrets, etc.

Cheng Qing thinks that it is the foundation of the test, the foundation is solid enough, and the county test can be passed casually.

Miaoji is the name of the late emperor of this dynasty, the imperial name is the name of the son of the day, and the holy name is the name of the Confucian saint...... All relevant words involved in answering the question are taboo, and if you can't avoid them, you should miss a stroke or replace them with other words.

Cheng Qing is also familiar with these requirements, and it can be said that she is fully prepared to participate in the county examination.

She herself was full of confidence, and she was afraid of capsizing in the gutter, so she didn't dare to be careless before passing the county exam, and she went back to Yangliu Lane to prepare for the exam.

The Liu family and her sisters didn't bother her, and now no one mentioned how the imperial court would judge Cheng Zhiyuan, and Cheng Qing didn't think about it himself.

The family was cut off from the outside world, and Cheng Zhixu, who didn't know the second room, returned to Nanyi, and even went to the fifth room to visit Master Cheng Wu the next day. The uncle and nephew exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Cheng Zhixu went straight to the topic:

"Fifth Uncle, what do you and Sixth Uncle think? The eldest brother is now in the center of the whirlwind, according to the little nephew, it is hopeless for him to get rid of the crime, why did you secretly help Cheng Qing, gave hope, and finally disappointed Cheng Qing...... Alas! ”

Although Cheng Zhixu had only been back to Nanyi County for a day, he basically knew everything that happened after Cheng Qing returned to his hometown after he passively heard and took the initiative to inquire.

The people of Nanyi will believe that Prefect Yu was forced to send Cheng Qing out to participate in the county examination because of the petition of a few students, Cheng Zhixu has been an official for many years, and if he thinks about his position in the position of Prefect Yu, he also knows that things will not be so simple.

Although the court has not yet issued a final verdict, there is a ninety percent chance that Cheng Zhiyuan will be convicted, at this time, Governor Yu also agreed to Cheng Zhiyuan's son to participate in the county examination, but Nanyi Cheng is behind the scenes-

In other words, it was Master Cheng Wu who supported Cheng Qing.

Cheng Zhixu didn't understand why.

For the sake of Cheng Zhiyuan, who is nine out of ten to be convicted, it is also a great waste for the clan to use these resources.

Master Cheng Wu frowned, "The clan didn't make any efforts, it was Brother Qing's own good fate." ”

There is a cause before there is an effect.

Like He Lao, he is kind and charitable, and he is also a decent old gentry in Nanyi County, and he obviously hasn't seen a few people, but he admires Cheng Qing.

Like that Cui Yan, the son of a merchant from other places, it is said that he is also a person who knows how to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, but he is willing to stand up for Cheng Qing.

and Li Zhixian, a county parent official, if it weren't for Cheng Qing who left a good impression on him during the Mid-Autumn Festival, he would not have agreed to come forward for Cheng Qing...... I know my own family affairs, there are so many young children in the clan, how can the fifth master have the energy to take care of them one by one, Cheng Qing stood out by his own ability, and the day Fu Ling returned to his hometown, he left a deep impression on the fifth master, and then deepened and consolidated it step by step, so that the fifth master began to pay attention to Cheng Qing!

It's a pity that Cheng Zhixu didn't believe this, and the two couldn't go together, which can be described as unhappy.

Cheng Zhixu thinks that the clan has wasted unnecessary resources, and the fifth master also has doubts about Cheng Zhixu, Cheng Zhixu suddenly rose two steps in a row a few years ago, and still went to serve in an extremely wealthy place, and the clan did not get any news at all, what is going on with this promotion, the fifth master is not very down-to-earth.

Since last year, many things have changed, and Meng Huaijin and Cheng Zhixu have made the fifth master feel like he is out of control.

Nanyi Cheng is regarded as a ship, the sixth master Cheng in the capital is the helmsman, and the fifth master is the captain of the unified dispatch, and now the sailors who row the boat have their own ideas, and they don't listen to the captain's scheduling, the mood of the five masters can be imagined!
