Chapter 908: Little Man Eighteen
Gou Qingli could understand the attitude of the Qu family, because his family was also a Shilin family before the defeat, and his attitude towards eunuchs was the same as that of others. He also hated eunuchs very much, but after experiencing the ruins of his family, he became a lowly criminal slave and entered the Jiaofang Division, and after coming into contact with some low-level eunuchs, he changed his attitude slightly. He found that the eunuchs were not all bad, most of them were poor people, they were only forced to become eunuchs, and if they had a choice, they would not have chosen to become eunuchs.
Later, after the East Palace Incident, after he was rescued by Xi Le'an and Qu Jingfu, two eunuchs, he completely changed his attitude towards eunuchs. Later, following the two of them all the way, he completely treated the two as normal people, and respected them because of their skills, got close to them, and treated the two as relatives. Now, in the matter of looking at eunuchs, he has become a guest official.
Of course he understands, but his relationship with Qu Jingfu is closer, and he is still very angry about the attitude of the Qu family.
Xi Lexian was also angry, she didn't know much and didn't understand the attitude of the Qu family. In her opinion, biological siblings and children are the closest existences, how can they no longer want each other because their own family members have become eunuchs? Like her, no matter what her brother becomes, even if she becomes a bad person, she will not abandon her brother and will stand by her brother's side.
The two of them were very sorry for Qu Jingfu when they were angry, and after eating, they entered the room to accompany Qu Jingfu. When Qu Jingfu rested, he immediately served him a delicious breakfast, talked to him, relieved Qu Jingfu's emotions, and dissolved Qu Jingfu's sadness little by little.
Xi Le'an came to Qujia Village again, opened the road with money, and asked the people of Qujia Village about Qu Jingfu's family.
Silver money is a good thing, no one doesn't like it, Xi Le'an looked around, chose a middle-aged woman who likes gossip when she looks at it, walked forward to talk, and gave the middle-aged woman dozens of copper plates, and the middle-aged woman immediately opened the conversation box and told Xi Le'an about the affairs of Qu Jingfu's family without saying anything.
"Qu San's family is really not authentic, their eldest son sold himself in order to have a full meal for the family, they actually listened to the words of those who read, thinking that their own eldest son is not a good thing, and they don't want their own eldest son......"
The middle-aged woman spat and splashed the stars, and said endlessly: "The Qu San family used to be poor, and there was no last meal in the family." is mainly Qu San, who prides himself on being a scholar, can't do anything well, and relies on his daughter-in-law for farm work at home. Their family was originally quite wealthy in the village, but it cost money to study, and Qu San himself was incapable, he took the exam for decades, and he didn't get a single fame, and the fields in the family were sold out for him to study, and the family had a hard time. He himself has no ability to make money, so his wife and children can only starve with him......"
After that natural disaster, Qu San's family was so poor that they had no food at all, and the family had nothing to eat for three or four meals. It happened that someone from the palace came to buy a boy to enter the palace as a eunuch, and the eldest son of their family was a good child, so that the family would not be starved to death, and in order for the younger brothers and sisters to have a good meal, they sold themselves and exchanged silver for their families......"
With the money from the sale of the eldest son, the family was relieved and bought two more fields, which were enough for the family to chew. Just in time for the scientific examination again, the imperial court suffered a disaster because of our side, so the threshold for that year's scientific examination was relaxed, and this Qu San stepped on the shit again, and actually passed the scientific examination, and had a talent and fame......"
After gaining fame, the life of the family began to flourish. The fields under Xiucai's name can be tax-exempt for a certain amount, and the harvest in their fields does not have to pay taxes, and the income is almost doubled, plus Qu San found a teaching job in the city school, and the monthly remuneration is not bad, and the family's life is getting better and better......"
"If you want me to say that they can live such a good life because of the sacrifice of their eldest son, they should remember the good of their eldest son, and the result is ......"
The middle-aged woman spat on the ground: "It's really a loss of conscience, that Qu San actually ran to the patriarch to take the name of her eldest son from the family tree, and didn't recognize Jingfu as his eldest son." ”
Xi Le'an asked suspiciously: "Qu San didn't have this idea before, right?" Did this idea come out of nowhere? ”
The middle-aged woman said: "It seems that Qu San went to the city to participate in some literary meeting, and when he came back, he said that the eunuch is not a good thing, but a thing that brings disaster to the country and the people, and he is ashamed to be with the eunuch as a scholar." It seems that the scholars he knows are scolding the eunuchs and despising the eunuchs, Qu San is afraid that those people will enter the palace to become a eunuch if they know their son, and they are afraid that those people will look down on him, and when they come back, they will draw a line with his eldest son......"
"This song three is the ...... of stealing things with your ears covered"
Xi Le'an prompted: "Cover your ears and steal the bell." ”
"Yes, yes, cover your ears and steal the bell." The middle-aged woman nodded again and again, "Everyone in our village knows that his eldest son has entered the palace, what does he have to hide?" Even if Jingfu's name is crossed out from the family tree, we all know that Jingfu is the eldest son of his family, who came out of his wife's womb, and entered the palace for the sake of their family. ”
Xi Le'an said: "He is not covering it up to you, but to his fellow scholars, saying that he has nothing to do with eunuchs. ”
"I see." The middle-aged woman suddenly said, "Those scholars are full of food, right?" Is it a eunuch who still cares about other people's sons? ”
Xi Le'an smiled and didn't answer, the matter between the scholar and the eunuch is too complicated, just like the relationship between the Donglin Party and the eunuch party in the Ming Dynasty, ordinary peasant women like middle-aged women don't understand it anyway, not only she doesn't understand, but ordinary people don't understand it either.
"Then Qu Jingfu will be removed from your clan?" Sile Ann asked.
"Except, after all, Jingfu's own father has come forward, and the patriarch can only cross out Jingfu's name from the family tree. Alas, poor this child, bent on not ending up well for the lack of family. The middle-aged woman sighed.
"That, where did the three Qu families go? It can't be that the patriarch drove the family away because he was dissatisfied with Qu San's attitude towards his own son, right? Xi Le'an asked suspiciously. Since the family is living a good life, how can they leave the Qu family? People leave their hometowns, this is the thinking of most people in ancient times, not as a last resort, no one wants to leave their hometown.
