"What a dog! Bully people by flaunting one's powerful connections! ”

"At first glance, it is a slave raised by a gentleman who is not doing his job!"

……

and the girl who went to comfort the girl who sold herself to bury her father: "This girl, don't be afraid! Say something, we'll call the shots for you! ”

"Yes, we are all students of the nearby academy, and we will help you when you see injustice! Girl, what's your problem? ”

"Say it, let's find a way to help you solve it!"

……

The passers-by who watched the audience shook their heads and said that these scholars were simply too confused, and they didn't understand things clearly, so they jumped out to express justice, which is ridiculous!

Some people couldn't help it: "I said that you talents, you didn't figure things out, so you jumped out and beat a rake?" The son-in-law saw that this girl was pitiful, and gave her ten taels of silver for nothing, so that she could go and bury her father, and she didn't have to repay the favor. I didn't expect this girl to get ten taels of silver for nothing, not to mention, but also to rely on other people's sons. What did the son-in-law do wrong? The silver is white, and it also provokes a body of fat! ”

"You can't say that! As the saying goes, be a man to the end, send the Buddha to the West! Since this son has money and is willing to help, why not help to the end? Such a girl's family has been reduced to the point of selling herself to bury her father, and she must have no relatives! What will I do in the future? ”

"That's it! In this world, how does a girl's family live? This son has money and a good favor, why don't you do it to the end? ”

The students retorted!

There are even more pedantic ones, who shake their heads and memorize books, what sages say, what the ancients said, it is comparable to a tight mantra, and the recitation of it hurts people's brains.

Mei Xiaotong is not right to hear this, isn't this a forced buying and selling?

Although Li Jiushao is a little unreliable, just because he can come up with ten taels of silver, it proves that this person's heart is not bad.

I didn't expect to get into trouble!

Speaking of this trouble, it was brought to him by himself and Mrs. Li, but he couldn't help it, and was about to speak.

Mrs. Li grabbed Mei Xiaotong and gave her a look, telling her not to speak and take a step forward by herself.

"I said, what do you little cubs know who don't have any hair? Don't see other people's little girls looking pitiful and their eyes are! What about the people who still read, do you have a brain? ”

As soon as these words came out, it was simply that MT was alive, and the hatred of the students present was full.

"You mother-in-law, it's unreasonable!"

"Mother, I don't just have seven principles, but also eight principles and nine principles! The old lady said that you don't have brains, you don't have brains! I don't want to think about it, at this price now, we usually do funerals, and five or six taels of silver will reach the sky. Like this girl, buy a thin coffin, ask someone to help, and pay two or three taels of silver to complete the cost, and things can be done! Isn't that right? "Mrs. Li is not stage frightened at all, and her momentum is very scary.

Hearing Mrs. Li's words, the onlookers around couldn't bear it

Zhudu nodded, everyone is an ordinary family, and they naturally know it in their hearts.

"What this eldest sister said is very true, last year my old sister next door died, and it cost more than six taels of silver, and it was also buried lively."

"But no, ten taels of silver, ten taels of silver is enough to bury this girl for several fathers!"

……

The students looked at each other, this, this is true?

They all looked at the girl suspiciously.

The girl who sold herself to bury her father was anxious, and hurriedly defended: "My father has never enjoyed happiness in his life, I just want him to die and die beautifully!" Besides, my family still owes debts that haven't been paid off......"

"Oh! Feelings, you are not selling yourself to bury your father, you are selling yourself to bury your father, and you want someone to pay off your family's debts? I said you girl, that son is not your father, and he is not your mother, why should you bury your father and repay your family's debts? In the end, I have to take you home and raise you? He doesn't owe you anything and he doesn't deserve you! Mrs. Li asked aggressively.

The girl was so open that she couldn't speak, only two lines of tears flowed down.

The students who took pity on the fragrance and cherished the jade suddenly stopped: "I said that you are an old woman, you are really annoying!" The girl wants to bury her father, and she is also filial! Besides, this son's family is rich, and it is not difficult to support a girl's family! What's more, the girl doesn't eat in vain, and she serves him as a maid! ”

"Fuck you! The old lady sees that you are also quite rich, do you want to divide half of your family's money with me? Mrs. Li crossed her waist and asked the student.

The student blushed under the watchful eyes of everyone: "How can this be true!" ”

"I can't hit myself with a stone, I don't know how much it hurts! Feelings: Your family's money is money, but other people's money is not a stone? Are you still reading in your head? Don't waste your family's money, look at your dress, your family must also be your father's family working hard in the field, saving some money for you to study all year round. Feelings read these things in the stomach? If I were your father, what would a son with such a brain read? Go back and plant the field honestly for the old lady for a few years, and you will know that the sky is high and the earth is thick! Bah! Mrs. Li took a sip.

"All of them are young, they have hands and feet, they don't do their jobs, they think of some crooked ways, and they are not ashamed? And you scholars, if you all have this brain, go home and farm! Don't come out and be embarrassed! After Mrs. Li finished speaking, there was silence all around, and she heard her voice alone.

After saying that, the student was still angry, and said to the girl who sold herself to bury her father: "I said girl, if you are a smart person, take the money and leave quickly, don't make some crooked ideas!" My aunt taught you a sentence, I'd rather be a poor wife than a rich concubine! Is it good to be a little wife? People are eating and you are watching, people are sitting and you are standing, you are not even a thing in front of the lady of the people! Don't take the wrong path just because you have suffered for a while, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life! ”

The last words can really be regarded as sincere persuasion.

After that,

doesn't care, pull Mei Xiaotong and leave. I didn't take two steps before I met two familiar people.

"Mother?"

"Brother Song?"

……

An Huahao and Gu Zikai were standing on the periphery of the crowd and listening, in addition to them, there were also many students who got out of school, all gathered around the back to listen to the audience.

At this moment, I saw Mrs. Li and Mei Xiaotong coming over, all of them had different faces, ignoring the etiquette of the readers, and staring at them for a while.

When Mrs. Li saw this posture, she couldn't help but beat a drum in her heart, first look at her son-in-law, who has always had a black face, and she can't see anything.

looked at his daughter carefully: "Girl, did I say the wrong thing?" ”

Mei Xiaotong put her arm around Mrs. Li comfortingly: "I think my mother said it very well!" Absolutely! ”

An Huahao also took two steps forward, walked to the other side of Mrs. Li, held Mrs. Li's other arm, and said lightly: "What my mother said today is not rough!" It is much clearer than those of us who are so-called readers! As the saying goes, the world is full of articles, and it is true! ”

"Brother Song is right! The words of the aunt are deafening and thunderous, but it seems that we people are dead studying, and we don't know anything about the world! ”

"But no, if it weren't for this aunt's reminder, I would have been pitiful for that girl!"

"Oh, I finally understand that after I also spent money to buy a girl who sold herself to bury my father, my father and mother wanted to kill me!"

"This aunt is the one who understands, our family is my father's family, with her face facing the loess and her back to the sky, earning money from the ground for me to study. Not a penny is hard money, ten taels of silver, that's really my family's expenses for more than a year! There is a Xiucai from a poor family, and when he said this, his eyes were red, thinking of his hard-working parents at home.

……

The students around An Huahao and Gu Zikai are all students of Evergreen Academy, most of them are talents in the same class, and compared with ordinary students, their vision is much higher.

At first, some people thought that Mrs. Li spoke vulgarly, and she was simply a country mother-in-law scolding the street, but she didn't expect that it was this seemingly vulgar mother-in-law who saw the world so clearly and understood, but it seemed that they were shallow.

Look at this Mrs. Li is the mother-in-law of An Huahao, who has only been in the college for a long time, and then look at his lady, delicate and beautiful, the two stand together, talented and beautiful, they are a natural pair.

On the teahouse not far away, the dean of the Evergreen Academy and a man were looking here, and behind them, there was a person dressed as a subordinate, who was repeating to the two of them what Mrs. Li had said, word by word.

After a while, someone came up again and repeated the words of An Huahao and the students of Evergreen Academy.

There was silence in the room, and it took a long time before the man burst out laughing, "It's really terrifying!" Lao Wei, your academy is now the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, and each generation is stronger than the next! ”

The dean of Evergreen Academy stroked his beard under his chin and smiled: "It's not as good as An Huahao who you recommended, or your eyes, although this An Huahao is from a poor family, his talent is quite good, and he married a good wife, even his mother-in-law understands it so clearly, but he is a good seedling for cultivation!" ”

The man turned around, and it was Zhu Haoran.

He smiled noncommittally, did not refute the words of the dean of the Evergreen Academy, and turned his head to look out the window.

The people around An Huahao have slowly dispersed, leaving only a somewhat familiar figure still following him, and then looking at it, a person who is impressive and will not forget after seeing it once has crowded to An Huahao's side again.

How could that old nine of the Li family be here?

Zhu Haoran couldn't help but take a step forward, but the guard behind the kid from the Li family seemed to have noticed something, and turned his head to look.

Zhu Haoran hurriedly took a step back, avoiding the look.

Retreating to the table and sitting down, Zhu Haoran picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, calmed down a little, and then got up and said, "It's not too early, since you're okay here, I should go back too." The saint is still waiting for me to go back to reply, the saint attaches great importance to this subject, we have worked hard for so many years, but we can't fall short, you have to be cautious! ”

The dean of Evergreen Academy nodded, and replaced the wine with tea: "Have a good trip!" ”

Zhu Haoran said goodbye and left.

At that time, the moment Li Jiushao heard An Huahao shouting Mrs. Li's mother-in-law, it was like being punched in the chest, his face was blue and white for a while, and he didn't come to his senses for a long time.

When he finally calmed down and calmed down and looked over, he saw Mei Xiaotong and An Huahao holding Mrs. Li's arm alone, and the people next to him were praising them for their talent and beauty, and they were a natural pair.

Suddenly, my heart felt like eating a thousand catties of green olives, which was sour and astringent.

couldn't help but snort, looking at that stupid big man, so tall, so dark, with a dead face, how can you look at it and not be worthy of Mei Xiaotong.

If he stands next to Mei Xiaotong, he is a man and a woman, a match made in heaven!

But he only dared to mutter in his heart, calmed down his good mood, his face was natural, and Li Jiushao walked over.

First of all, I thanked Mrs. Li: "Thank you for the old lady who just spoke up and helped me out of the siege-" said, arching her hand.

Mrs. Li waved her hand: "It's okay, it's all because Jiu Shao was born handsome, if that girl looks better than you, I can't help that girl!" ”

Li Jiushao's remaining words of thanks were choked back.

The shopkeeper Zheng who followed up hurriedly introduced: "Brother Song, this is the ninth son of our family, known as the nine young people." ”

"Ninth Prince, this is An Huahao, the husband of Wang Niangzi!"

An Huahao and Li Jiushao glanced at each other, and their eyes revealed the battle intent that the men knew.

An Huahao was more stable, and with just one glance, he slightly hooked the corners of his mouth and nodded: "Li Jiushao."

！ ”

Seeing that Gu Zikai was still standing next to him, looking at Mei Xiaotong with a vague look in his eyes, he became bored in his heart, and his eyes were cold: "Li Jiushao, this is Gu Zikai." ”

"Brother Gu, this is also a young man from the capital, have you ever seen it?" An Huahao looked at Gu Zikai.

Gu Zikai was still distracted, but he was pushed by the little wolf Hao, looked around blankly, and was stunned: "Li Jiu? Why are you here? ”

"Gu San? You actually came to this ghost place in Jing County? ”

When they saw each other, they looked like they were ghosts, and they looked incredulous.

"Why are you here?"

"You say first—"

…… After a long time, the two knew each other that Gu Zikai had come here to study, and Li Jiushao had come to take over the business.

Looking at each other, Li Jiushao pouted and spoke: "Where do you live now?" ”

Gu Zikai didn't want to speak, so he hesitated for a moment before saying, "I rented the front yard of Brother Song's house——"

Before he finished speaking, Li Jiushao's eyes lit up: "Great, I just arrived in Jing County, I have no place to live, it just so happens that you have a place to live, I will go to you first to make do with it for a while, and the rent is mine!" ”

Gu Zikai's always gentle and calm face suddenly stiffened, "The place where I live is too small, and as soon as I enter the courtyard, there is another family living there, so I really can't make room for you." Why don't you stay in the inn for a few days, and I'll ask someone to help you see if there's a house for sale nearby? ”

Li Jiushao waved his hand very generously: "What's that, I don't dislike you, just squeeze a room with you." As for my family's wealth, I don't pay so much attention to it, and I squeeze it with your wolf. For the rest, leave two and sleep in a room. ”

Gu Zikai couldn't maintain the smile on his face anymore, and the wolf behind him couldn't help but jump out: "Ninth son, my son-in-law is going to take the township exam in a few months, and he can't stand to be disturbed by studying every day." There are so many people around you, coming in and out, disturbing my son-in-law's study, can you afford it? ”

Li Jiushao's face sank, and he was actually blocked back by a subordinate, which was really unhappy.

But no matter how arrogant he is, he and Gu Zikai have also grown up together, and now Gu Zikai is a critical moment, can he really ignore him and live in the yard he rented?

Even if he really dared, the descendants of the Gu family were only afraid that they would be able to spread the news to their own father's ears immediately, and at that time, they were afraid that they would not even be able to stay in Jingxian.

Thinking about it like this, Li Jiu Shao reluctantly said: "Forget it, just your little broken yard, I'm not rare!" ”

Don't turn your face, look at Mei Xiaotong's smiling eyes, and suddenly remember, what did you just say?

Say a small broken yard?

That little broken yard belongs to Mei Xiaotong!

Li Jiushao suddenly felt uncomfortable, and wanted to say two sorry words, but he was already holding his breath in a panic, and besides, he wanted him to be in front of Gu Zikai, a hypocrite

Sub apologize? Wouldn't you be laughed at by Gu Zikai for the rest of your life?

Gritting his teeth, Li Jiu Shao snorted: "Zhaocai, let's go!" "Pull out your legs and go.

The small guy in the back, the guards followed the group in a hurry.

Shopkeeper Zheng gave Mei Xiaotong and An Huahao an apologetic look, and patted An Huahao on the shoulder: "Let's get together another day!" After saying that, he hurriedly chased after him.

As soon as the group of people left the nine young people, the people around them were almost scattered.

An Huahao greeted Mrs. Li, and was about to go home and leave, but was stopped by a figure that suddenly rushed out: "Auntie, don't go!" ”

Everyone stopped, and it was the girl who sold herself to bury her father.

The girl had tears in her eyes, and pityfully pounced in front of Mrs. Li: "Auntie, you pity me, take me back!" As he spoke, he looked around nervously.

The big guy followed her eyes, and there were a few ruffians sitting on the tea stall not far away, looking this way.

"Auntie, please help me! I'm alone now, and I still have the silver given by the boy just now, I'm afraid that as long as I'm single, I'm afraid that this silver will be gone, and I won't even be able to keep my own innocence! Auntie, this sister, God has the virtue of a good life, please save me, save me-"

Mei Xiaotong glanced at this girl a little more, but she didn't see that she was still smart.

Knowing that it was terrible to be alone as a weak woman with a huge amount of money and to be helpless, and after Li Jiushao rejected her, she was very keen to find herself and Mrs. Li.

It's not a bad thing to be scheming, smart and calculated, as long as it doesn't hurt people, there's nothing to blame.

It's just that if this mind is used to harm others, then it has to be prevented.

Therefore, he only asked lightly: "We are not related to you, why should we save you?" ”

The girl paused for a moment, and then said, "You are students of Evergreen Academy, and there are many people, I don't think those people dare to touch you-"

When the wolf Hao next to him heard this, he was angry: "You girl, your heart is very bad!" Didn't you pull us into the water? Don't look at it, my son-in-law and Mr. Song are both scholars. There are also Wang Niangzi and the old lady, both of whom are women,
