Of course, Su Jinyao knows all about these things (qíng), just just say it a little, she doesn't want to punish the evil and promote the good, hold the grievances, and don't want to say it too clearly now, so that Xiaocheng'er's simple mind will be polluted.

Su Jinyao and Xiao Cheng'er were drinking water and talking, when they heard a bear child shouting in a loud voice: "Huh? The silly girl of the Su family and Su Cheng'er are also here? You two are also here for the exam? ”

Su Jinyao felt familiar when she heard this voice, but she didn't react for a while which bear child it was.

I heard Xiao Cheng'er reply loudly: "I'm here to take the exam." What's the matter, aren't you here to take the test too? Wu Erman, Wu Sanli, are you also literate? ”

After Xiaocheng'er finished speaking, Su Jinyao reacted, and what she said just now was Wu Erman, the second eldest of the Wu family. The first fight he had just crossed over was with the three bear children of the Wu family. At that time, one of Wu Erman's teeth was knocked out, no wonder now I can't remember the familiar voice, dare (qíng) to say that the tooth hasn't grown out yet, and the speech is leaky.

Su Jinyao turned her head and saw that it was indeed Wu Erman and Wu Sanli. Both brothers wore long robes, tied with palm-wide belts, and their hair was neatly combed. And after not seeing each other for a while, the two brothers have obviously grown taller, and standing there is also (tǐng) (xiōng) with their heads raised and their toes high.

However, at the beginning, Su Jinyao also went to buy vegetables. If it weren't for the Wu family's eldest daughter-in-law beating the second daughter-in-law, and insisting on such a play, it is estimated that Su Jinyao would be the big patron of the Wu family now. Because according to Aunt Niu, the vegetables she buys every day are not much less than those in the restaurants in the town.

The two brothers of the Wu family were surprised when they saw Xiao Cheng'er, and Wu Sanli said proudly: "Hmph, my second brother and I have learned the usable skills during this time." Not only can he be literate, but he can also write poetry. A little mouse, met a cat, the cat caught the mouse, and ate and was full. What's this poem like? ”

"Poof" Listening to this poem read by Wu Sanli, Xiaocheng'er couldn't hold back his laughter. While pounding his mouth (xiōng) with his hand, he said, "You call this poetry?" Nursery rhymes are too childish. ”

But after Wu Sanli listened, he turned his head and asked Wu Erman: "Second brother, what is childish?" ”

"Haha" Xiaocheng'er was so happy when he heard this. He no longer paid attention to the pair of living treasure brothers of the Wu family, and pulled Su Jinyao and said, "Second sister, let's go over there to rest." Here my stomach hurts from laughing. ”

Su Jinyao also thinks that this Wu Sanli is really interesting, if he is not so arrogant and domineering, he is a real boy, but he doesn't hate it. After all, a child's heart (xìng) is straight, and there is no real bad heart, as long as he doesn't learn to do bad things with the wicked, even if he is naughty, he can always grow in a good direction.

However, Su Jinyao had no intention of teasing Wu Sanli, seeing that the time for the exam was approaching, she planned to take Xiaocheng'er into the school to wait. And as soon as she saw the Wu family's brothers, Su Jinyao understood that her thoughts were right. The Wu family can be regarded as the largest household in Pingshan Village, and the children of the Wu family can come here, but the children of other families in the village have not seen any of them, which is enough to explain the problem.

Thinking about it this way, Su Jinyao thanked the guest named Zhang Chengliang. If he hadn't revealed the news to himself in advance, Su Jinyao wouldn't have known that there was such a good thing.

Su Jinyao was about to lead Xiaocheng'er into the school when she heard a woman's voice (shēn) shouting, "Sister and brother of the Su family, stand still." ”

Brother and sister of the Su family? Su Jinyao turned around in surprise and saw that the second sister-in-law of the Wu family didn't know when she came over. He was carrying a basket with a few pears, a kettle, and a few oiled paper packets, which he thought was a snack or something to eat.

Since the last time the sister-in-law of the Wu family received a few green onions from the second sister-in-law of the Wu family, and beat her in front of everyone, Su Jinyao has never gone to the Wu family to buy vegetables, nor has she seen this second sister-in-law Wu, and she doesn't know what she is suddenly asking herself to do now? Or is it called a small town?

But Xiaocheng'er was also puzzled. However, seeing that Su Jinyao didn't answer, Xiao Cheng'er politely asked, "Second Aunt Wu, is there something?" ”

"Hmm...... It's okay. It's just to say hello when you meet, after all, it's a village. Wu's second sister-in-law's table (qíng) was a little embarrassed, and she watched Su Jinyao's lips move again, but she didn't say anything in the end.

But the two brothers of the Wu family were not polite to this Erniang, and Wu Erman yelled directly: "What are you doing with them?" Do you want to come to the school? Hum. ”

Wu Sanli also pulled Wu's second sister-in-law and scolded: "I asked you to come with me so that you could bring things to serve us, not to let you come to recognize your relatives." Did you buy the fruit? I'm going to eat it now. ”

Wu's second sister-in-law was scolded loudly by the two children, her face was not good-looking, and she said: "They are all villagers from the same village, maybe you will study together in the future, I just said hello." ”

"Who wants to study with him, if you dare to talk nonsense again, we will tell grandpa." As soon as Wu Erman said this, Wu's second sister-in-law stopped talking. But she looked at Su Jinyao's eyes, with a little apology, pursed her lips and nodded to this side.

Su Jinyao understood that she might have felt guilty because of what happened last time (qíng), but she didn't know how to speak. But forget it when you think about it, she is not a person all the way, and the two families have nothing to do with each other, and she doesn't want to get too close to her.

Therefore, Su Jinyao only nodded slightly, which was regarded as a greeting, but she did not say anything, and pulled Xiaocheng'er Zhuan (shēn) to leave.

But they heard the second sister-in-law of the Wu family stop them again and said, "Su family, wait a minute." After saying that, he walked over, took out the two pears in the basket and chased after him, saying, "Give these two pears to your brothers and sisters to eat." After all, I came all the way to quench my thirst by eating a pear. ”

But before Su Jinyao could say no, Wu Sanli ran over, knocked off the pear in Wu's second sister-in-law's hand with one hand, and pulled her hair with the other.

The three children of the Wu family are all strong, and they are much taller than children of the same age. Although Wu Sanli is only six or seven years old, he is as tall as Xiaocheng'er, and his height is almost up to the shoulders of Wu's second sister-in-law. So he reached out to pull Wu Er's sister-in-law's hair, although it was a little laborious, but it really pulled him when he jumped.

Wu's second sister-in-law's hair hurt, and she bent down with a "ah", but Wu Sanli took advantage of the situation and slapped her again, and Wu Er's sister-in-law blocked it for a while, and was slapped in the face by his hand. Although it is not heavy, after all, in front of everyone, it seems too domineering.

There were a few people who came to take the exam next to him, and some people pointed at him when he saw this scene. There was also a rough man, but he was dressed decently, so he came up and persuaded: "How can a child be like this? Hurry up and let go, you can't be disrespectful to the adults in your family. ”

Unexpectedly, Wu Erman also ran over, raised his foot and kicked at Wu Er's sister-in-law's waist, and said at the same time: "She is not an adult in my family, she is just a big girl bought by my family." My mother said that she was beaten and scolded, and my father could still sleep with her at night. ”

These words were rude and uneducated, which immediately made the people around them shake their heads secretly.

Wu's second sister-in-law also blushed and her eyes reddened, struggled to snatch her hair out of Wu Sanli's hand, reached out and pushed Wu Sanli, and scolded loudly: "Who said I was the big girl in your family?" I'm your second mother. ”

Wu Er's sister-in-law stabbed the hornet's nest this push, Wu Erman and Wu Sanli both rushed over, one still pulled his hair, the other twisted his arm, and the two of them kicked and hit, pinched and twisted, and shouted: "Look at you still dare to pout." ”

Xiao Cheng'er can't stand it, in his eyes, boys can't bully girls, and men can't beat women; Although Wu Sanli is still a child, it is not right for him to bully the woman Wu Er's sister-in-law, or his elder. So I thought about going over and pulling the rack.

But Su Jinyao thought about it for a while, but still pulled the small city away.

"Second sister?" Xiao Cheng'er looked at Su Jinyao puzzled, and said in a low voice: "Even if we are not from a village, we should take care of it when we see such a child bullying adults." What's more, Aunt Wu is indeed their second mother. ”

"Look over there." Su Jinyao patted Xiao Cheng'er on the shoulder and asked him to look at the other side of the school.

Xiao Cheng'er looked in the direction of Su Jinyao's finger, and saw Wu Shengjin, the grandfather of the Wu family, and a man who looked like a master walking over. As he walked, he said something, and his face was quite flattering.

And Wu Shengjin walked towards this side, and suddenly saw this scene, and suddenly became anxious, and said to the master on the side (shēn): "See you laughing, housework." And he ran over. One in one hand, it took the two brothers of the Wu family to stop.

Wu Erman and Wu Sanli were most afraid of their grandfather, and when they saw Wu Shengjin's face was not good, Wu Erman complained first: "We were thirsty and asked her to buy pears, but this dead woman threw the pears on the ground." ”

Wu Sanli also said: "Yes, we said a few words to her, but she was still unconvinced, and she still relied on our second mother to beat us." ”

Wu Shengjin was so angry that his beard trembled, and he glared at the two brothers fiercely. Of course he understood what was going on, but in front of everyone and the official master, he was afraid that he would lose face and protect his shortcomings.

Wu Shengjin had no choice but to lower his voice and said to the two brothers of the Wu family: "You two shut up for me and stop." Then he raised his head and shouted to Wu's second sister-in-law: "If I take you out, I will cause trouble, and the two children will not be able to see it well." Go back yourself, I'll take Erman and Sanli here to take the exam. ”

"Dad, I didn't ......" Wu's second sister-in-law wanted to distinguish a few words, but Wu Shengjin's face sank and her eyes widened, and she didn't dare to speak anymore.

It's just that she took a few steps back, as if to go. But in the end, he didn't leave, but looked at Wu Shengjin and said, "Dad, I'll go back, but ...... But I don't have the money to get a car. ”

"You...... Our Wu family still neglected you? Where did you get all the money you spend every month? Wu Shengjin was even more angry, stomped his foot, and said fiercely: "Let you go, just leave, and if you dare to talk nonsense, let the master here put you in prison." You should know what happens if you don't have a hukou, right? ”

After Wu Shengjin's words were finished, Wu's second sister-in-law wilted. Quickly nodded and said, "Okay, Dad, I'll go, I'll go back." After saying that, Wu's second sister-in-law turned (shēn) and walked away quickly.

Everyone looked at this scene, some people thought it was a joke, but some people saw the doorway and knew that the old man of the Wu family should be a little poundy. And among them, those who can see the way out of the door include Su Jinyao.

Not only did she hear from Wu Shengjin's words, but this second sister-in-law Wu actually didn't have a hukou, and the end of the black household should not be very good. And she also knew that Wu Shengjin dared to say this in public, and dared to say in front of an official master that he must have some connection with the official family in this town.

事 (qíng) is superficially in the past, and those who watch (rè) trouble do not know the ancestors and grandchildren of the Wu family, of course, they just look at it and disperse. There are also some parents of candidates who come to the exam, each of whom is a wealthy squire in the village, and they also understand the truth, and secretly pay attention to the two children of the Wu family, estimating that these two children will definitely be able to "get in".

Su Jinyao watched Wu Shengjin enter the school with her two grandsons, and said a few words to the official master from time to time, and she had other plans.

"Second sister, what you just said about letting Mr. be accommodating, did you mean the grandfather of the Wu family?" Xiaocheng'er has always been smart, so he can naturally understand some things.

Su Jinyao touched Xiao Cheng'er's head and didn't speak. At such times, what can she say when the child asks a question?

led Xiaocheng'er into the school, and Su Jinyao said, "It's time for the exam, you can go in." Don't worry, the second sister guarantees that you have learned everything in the test. Second sister go outside, you will come out after the exam in a while, if you don't see me, I will wait for me under the big tree where we were enjoying the shade just now, don't run around, you know? ”

"Okay, I know, second sister, go ahead." After Xiao Cheng'er finished speaking, he took the number plate he had received earlier and walked towards a large classroom.

There were two teenagers in blue shirts at the entrance of the large classroom, who looked like they should be senior students in the school, checking the number plates in the hands of the children who entered. In the classroom, there was a blue curtain with a white word "learning" embroidered on it, and a circle was circled. The inner (qíng) condition is obscured, and the people outside cannot see it.

The estimated time for the exam is one hour, which is two hours in modern times. I don't know how these two hours are arranged, and what questions are examined. As for the parents who send their children, they can only wait outside.

Su Jinyao didn't keep waiting, and when she saw Xiaocheng'er enter, she walked out and walked towards the yamen on the side.

The steps at the entrance of the yamen are very high, and there is a man who looks like a small servant standing at the door, who should be in charge of communication and security.

Only the yamen above the county level can have the soldiers of the official family, but the county lord has no military power and cannot mobilize officers and soldiers, but can only mobilize the officials in the yamen and arrest the fast. However, the yamen in the town were not allowed to raise soldiers, and only some militias organized by themselves in the town were paid by the officials to be responsible for the safety and security of the town. So the guard at the door is not a soldier, but a small guy.

Su Jinyao walked up the steps, and the little guy noticed it. Although this is not a big yamen, after all, it is also the territory of an official family, so this little guy is arrogant, and asked Su Jinyao with his nose turned to the sky: "Little girl, what are you doing here?" Don't trespass if you have nothing to do, this is the realm of the official family. ”

Su Jinyao knew these people and things best, so before she could answer, she stuffed a few copper plates and said with a smile: "Brother of the official family, I will inquire about someone." ”

As soon as he saw the copper plate, he was called "little brother of the official family" again, and the little guy who was originally watching the gate immediately felt that he was really a bad person from the official family, and he was not so blunt to Su Jinyao, so he softened his tone and asked, "Then who do you say you are looking for?" Or do you want to ask the eldest master to help you find someone? This is the yamen, the lord is very busy, don't come to make trouble if there is no big event. ”

Su Jinyao shook her head and said, "The person I inquired about should also be from this yamen." His name is Zhang Chengliang......" Su Jinyao described Zhang Chengliang's (shēn) appearance again.

After hearing what Su Jinyao said, the little guy frowned, then shook his head and said, "Are you sure this person belongs to our yamen?" But I stay at the door every day, and I don't see anyone like this. Not to mention the few people who follow the big lord (shēn) every day, none of them look like this. ”

No? Su Jinyao was puzzled. If Zhang Chengliang is not a messenger here, why does he know about the government-run school here (qíng)?

Su Jinyao thought for a while, and then asked, "Is it possible that there is a poor person from the neighboring town?" Don't hide it from my little brother, he was the one who asked me to come here to find him, but now I can't find anyone, what can I do? ”

"If it's from a neighboring town, I don't know. The official correspondence is at the same level, and I am only responsible for handing over the name card and leading people in. This person came and went, and I don't know which one it was if I didn't greet him personally. After the little guy finished speaking, he put the copper plate in his arms, which clearly meant to tell Su Jinyao that he couldn't help, and let her find a way to go by herself.

Su Jinyao frowned and thought about it, this time she directly took out two cents of silver and handed it over, and asked in a low voice: "Then can the troublesome little brother help me inquire and see which official knows the person I am talking about?" ”

It used to be a copper plate, so let's forget it here. Now that he saw that it was silver, the smile on the little guy's face also opened. He took it and weighed it in his hand, and he should be quite satisfied, so he nodded and said, "Then you wait a while, I'll go in and ask you." However, if I can't find someone I know, I really can't do anything. ”

Su Jinyao said: "Then thank you, little brother." I understand that you have been a busy day for you, and I am very grateful for helping me so much. ”

Su Jinyao can also speak, and the sentence "Your Excellency is busy" made the smile on the little guy's face a little more, and nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go in and help you ask." After all, it's not easy for you, a little girl, to dare to find someone at the entrance of this yamen, so I'll help you inquire more, and you won't have to worry if you can't find out the news. ”

Su Jinyao thanked her again, and stood by the side and waited. After waiting for a full meal, the little guy came out. (shēn) is followed by a middle-aged man, who looks very imposing despite being dressed in casual clothes.

The little girl beckoned to Su Jinyao and said, "The little girl came over and talked back." ”
