Zeng's family was just a rich man in the countryside, until Zeng Tong was admitted to the Jinshi and became an official, which became prestigious. All the scenery of Old Lady Zeng and Zeng Yu's good life are all due to Zeng Tong's official position.

When they heard that this incident was hindering Zeng's official career, the two panicked.

Glancing at his grandson, the old lady asked his son tremblingly, "Then, what should I do?" ”

"What to do, what to do, what do you know to do now, what did you do earlier? When you're out and about meddle outside under my guise of me, why don't you ask me what to do first? Zeng Tong scolded him irritably.

The old lady Zeng knew that she had done something wrong, and she usually liked to be a person who was majestic in front of her son, so she didn't dare to say a word.

Zeng Yu stood up with a "pout", raised his feet and walked out.

"Where are you going?" Zeng Tong asked hurriedly.

"I'm going to find the Du family. No, let's stand up for them, but now that something happens, they are hiding and calling us to clean up the mess. Didn't they fall in love with the Qi family? Let them figure it out. Zeng Yu said.

Zeng Tongju thought about it, then waved his hand: "Go ahead." "Anyway, in this matter, he will have a little more protection if he pulls more people into the water. If he could take this opportunity to get involved with those disciples of Qi Yuandao, he would still be a blessing in disguise.

Knowing that this matter was a big trouble, the ancestors and grandchildren of the Du family were panicking at home.

The prefect and the general judge wrestled their wrists, but it was not something that people of their level could interfere with. But the cause of the conflict between the two is because of their Du family. This made both of them feel a fear in their hearts, for fear that someone would come and raze their Du family.

When Master Du heard the report, he immediately rushed back from the restaurant and said to Mrs. Du: "This incident was caused by Zheyan, how innocent is our room?" Now what? Let's just wait at home, don't do anything, just wait for the two of them to fight for the result to destroy our Du family? ”

"Wouldn't it? We didn't do anything. Old lady Du said with trepidation.

"The Du family on the other side of that house didn't do anything, and someone smashed the door?" Master Du said, "If people want to deal with us, they don't even need to find a reason, just call a few officials to go to the restaurant to find some trouble, and our family will have to go to court." Master Du said, and asked Mrs. Du meaningfully, "Is it really just waiting and doing nothing?" ”

As soon as Old Lady Du heard this, she looked at her eldest son expectantly like the drowning man had grabbed a life-saving straw: "Do you have a way?" ”

"If you want our whole family to be on the streets, with nothing, then just wait; If you don't want to, take the time to split up. Restaurants, fields, and shops all belong to our big house, and the second room means to take a little bit. Anyway, when the prefect and the general judge are held accountable, the property allocated to the second room cannot be saved, and all of them have to be confiscated, and no matter how much they share, it will be in vain. I am the eldest son, and it is my responsibility to support my parents, and you will follow me. The second room has survived this catastrophe, if life really can't go on, I can still help them, and part of the house will be set aside for them to live in; They don't have to stay on the streets to beg for food. ”

"No, it can't be like this." When Du Zheyan heard this, he shouted, "Grandfather, you can't separate the family." "It is unreasonable for the big house to take this opportunity to let them leave the house in the second room.

Knowing his grandfather's virtues, he continued, "This time it will definitely be fine. The two adults are fighting each other only because of their interests, and it has nothing to do with our family. Besides, we still have the backer of the Qi family. If you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, they won't embarrass us. The Qi family can let my father be an official, and this time it will definitely be able to keep our family safe. ”

Only then did Mrs. Du remember that her second son was still an official. If the family is separated and he follows his eldest son, where can he go around to show his identity as an old lady?

He urged: "Then you go to that Young Master Qi and ask him to find a way to help us intercede." ”

Du Zheyan also plans to do so. But before he left, Zeng Yu came.

Let his family get into such a big trouble, what good words can Zeng Yu have in his mouth? Naturally, how unpleasant it sounds. The old and young families of the Du family were like quails, shrinking their heads and not daring to say anything, allowing Zeng Yu, a teenage doll, to scold their ancestors for eighteen generations.

Zeng Yu was tired of scolding, so he said what he meant, and asked Du Zheyan to hurry up and find the Qi family.

"I'm thinking about it." Du Zheyan said with a smile.

"Then hurry, don't waste time."

Du Zheyan ran to Qi's house with a smoke, told Qi Siyu about his family's difficulties, wiped his tears and said: "The reason why I want people to smash the door of his house is also to vent your anger." He dared to reach out and take your case, and let you fall to the fourth place, but I felt uncomfortable when I didn't say it. Who would have thought things would turn out like this! Senior Brother Qi, can you find a way to help us? Not to mention our family, even the Zeng Tong family will remember the kindness between you and Mr. Qi. ”

As soon as he heard that this matter involved a political battle between the prefect and the general judge, Qi Siyu didn't want to care about it.

His family knew about his own affairs, and although his father and uncle were also officials in Beijing, they were just a fictitious position and had no rights. What their family relied on was just that Qi Yuandao had some academic status and accepted more disciples.

Especially in this college test, he fell to the fourth place, which made him see the faces of his grandfather's disciples more clearly - when they are fine, these people are naturally willing to get close to their family, after all, his grandfather is a great Confucian, he is well educated, and he has many disciples, and he weaves a network of relationships with his grandfather as the center, and everyone can get a lot of benefits from it. But once something happens, when it comes to their own interests, these people put aside this "teacher-student" relationship, put up a selfless face, and finally gain a reputation of "not following selfishness".

But Du Zheyan is angry with himself, and he can't let him feel incompetent.

He said, "I know what you said. Go back, and I'll go back and talk to my grandfather and see if he can do anything. ”

Worried that he would not be able to do something good in the end and make Du Zheyan look down on him, he tried his best to make things more difficult: "But you also have to know that not everyone can have the ability to stop these two tigers from fighting." Even if my grandfather had many disciples, they were willing to help, but once they were far away, they had little friendship with Lord Yang and Lord Zeng; Second, Lord Yang and Lord Zeng are fighting for power after all, and they are not so easy to persuade. I can only ask my grandfather to think of a way. If it really can't help you, there's nothing to be done. All I can say is that I tried my best. ”
