Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, the four captains take turns to swing the oars, not stopping for a moment, the river is twisting and turning, and the direction of the sail must be adjusted from time to time to ensure that you can borrow the wind power on the river.

Most of the emotions of parting belong to the send-off, and for the people who go to the way forward, because of all kinds of expectations, relatively speaking, the parting feelings are much lighter, not long on the boat, Niuniu tears have been, and her mother Zhou whispered about going home, her eyes were full of longing.

There are two cabins in front of the passenger ship, Lu Huai and two servants are in the front cabin, Zeng Yu is also here to chat with Lu Huai over tea, Lu Huai saw that Zeng Yu is not dressed as a square scarf and mattress today, and changed into a Confucian child's green robe, and when he asked, he learned that the official document of entering the school had not yet been transmitted to Confucianism in Yongfeng County, and Zeng Yu was afraid of being ridiculed and accused——

Lu Huai said with a smile: "Your affairs are already known to the Governor of Lin, who dares to accuse you of trespassing, don't worry, the old man will go back and ask for you." ”

The boat trip is leisure, Lu Huai asked Zeng Yu about the process of going to Yuanzhou to make up for the examination this time, and learned that the Jiangxi Academy of Sciences has tried a serious fraud case, involving nearly 30 students from the eight prefectures who have been tested before, Lu Huai sighed: "Yan Jiexi has been in power for more than ten years, the officials are very bad, the style of study is also very bad, Huang Ti is a righteous person, and it is inevitable that he will be mistaken by the treacherous. ”

Zeng Yuxin said: "What kind of emperor pampers what kind of minister, Yan Song's crime is that Fengying does not dare to speak out about Jiajing's faults, most of those ministers who dare to say this minister were beaten and beaten away by Emperor Jiajing's court staff in the Great Rites Discussion, so Yan Song is mostly infamous for Jiajing, Yan Song has a lustful and unscrupulous son, and it is no wonder that his reputation is ruined, Lu Hanlin is an upright person, who does not know the source of evil, but only blames Yan Song, in fact, since ancient times, the so-called struggle between loyal ministers and traitors is often caused by the monarch's likes and dislikes, But this is the limitation of the times, and we can't expect ancients like Lu Hanlin to recognize that absolute monarchy is the source of all evils, and this is the democratic enlightenment thought that only came after the collapse of Huang Zongxi's country a hundred years later. ”

Zeng Yu originally wanted to tell Lu Huai about Yan Shifan's request for him to be Yan Shaoqing's companion, think about it or forget it, this old gentleman will definitely encourage him to refuse and fight, if that's the case, the opportunity to go to school that he has worked hard for Yuan Zhou is likely to come to naught, the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military ministers have lived under Yan Song for more than ten years, and there are a few who resigned, and now it is not his turn to be a loyal minister, and it is serious to live his own small life first, my mother is right, he is twenty years old, and his wife has not yet appeared, this marriage event is more important than the national event, as for being a Yanfu companion, of course, it is necessary to act at the opportunity, if it is difficult to push, it is okay to refrain from responding to orders, there is no need to set rules and regulations for yourself first-

Lu Huai also asked Zeng Yu to take the two eight-strand essays of the Yuanzhou Academy Examination, praised them while reading, and encouraged Zeng Yu to concentrate on sharpening and striving for high school in the township examination next year, and pointed out Zeng Yu some composition tricks, Zeng Yu was only taught.

The boat went up against the Xinjiang River, the driving was quite slow, the captain was hard, a day swayed for six hours can only go more than 100 miles, Zeng Yu's family spent the Qixi Festival on the boat, before the afternoon of the eighth day of the first month, the passenger ship was moored at the Sanjiangkou Wharf in Shangrao, Zeng Yu's family of four and a donkey went ashore here, Zeng Yu wanted to go to Guangxin Mansion Confucianism to inquire about his official document on entering school, by the way, visit his sister Zeng Ruolan, Lu Huai told Zeng Yu to return to Yongfeng to come to Xishan to see him, he can temporarily find a quiet errand for Zeng Yu, both filial piety to his mother, and time to study——

Watching Lu Hanlin's boat leave, Zeng Yu hired a small sedan chair for his mother and Niuniu to sit, here to Zhujia has six or seven miles of road, although it has been autumn, but the noon sun is still like a stove, now there is a little silver in the bag, you can enjoy some blessings ⊥ mother, the black donkey named Heibao is carrying a book and a box of luggage, and is led by Sixi to Zhujia in the western suburbs of Shangrao County.

When he walked past the Zhu Gong Ancestral Hall, Sixi saw that Zeng Yu didn't say anything, so he reminded: "Young Master, this is the Zhu Gong Ancestral Hall." ”

Niuniu also poked her head out of the sedan chair to look at the Zhu Gong Ancestral Hall, that day my brother beat the two people surnamed Jiang and Xie here, and now more than two months have passed, I don't know if those two people hold grudges or not, will they find trouble with their brother?

"Maybe they've forgotten." The little girl thought so.

Zeng Yu glared at Sixi and said, "If you want you to say, can't I see it?"

Sixi shrank his head, made a grimace at Niuniu, led the horse and continued to walk, and said in his heart: "The young master is very determined, the beaten Jiang Yuanrui Xiucai was bought with money, how could the young master be afraid of him." ”

Zeng Yu's family did not go directly to Zhu Jiajia Zeng Ruolan's home, in the West Gate outside the tea inn to ask for two rooms to live first, had lunch, Zeng Yu took four happiness into the city first to go to the Fuxue Palace, Zeng Yu is very familiar with Shangrao County, here to participate in a government test three hospital tests, the city and the city have traveled all over.

Guangxin Mansion is in the west of the city, from the west gate into about a mile to arrive, the palace and Confucianism stand side by side, the palace is by the east, Confucianism is in the west, there are famous eunuchs in the palace, the ancestral hall of the Xiangxian, and then there is the Dacheng Palace, all are places of sacrifice, the door is closed on weekdays, the Confucianism on the west side is the place where the instructor lives and lectures, the two of the master and servant of Zeng Yu came to Confucianism, the door is open, enter the courtyard but see the door of the instrument closed, ask the husband, say that today is the day of the lecture in Minglun Hall, and the school will not open the door at the end of the Shen time.

Zeng Yu had no choice but to go back with Sixi, preparing to come back in the evening, go out of the city and return to the Chasheng Inn to say hello to his mother, and then go to Zhujiajia with Sixi to see his sister Zeng Ruolan.

Zhujia is a village in the western suburbs of Shangrao County, there are many families in this village to plant sugarcane, boil sugar for the industry, it is now early autumn, the large area of sugarcane on the field has been more than half a person high, green stem and green leaves, extremely lush, Sixi thought about the sweetness of sugarcane and swallowed saliva and said: "Young master, can the sugarcane be eaten at this time?" ”

Zeng Yu said: "Sugarcane has to be frosted before it is really sweet, and you have to wait for two or three months, and now you only have a faint sweetness when you chew it, so if you want to eat it, you can buy two." ”

Sixi shook his head and said, "I don't eat, I just ask." ”

The road into the village is zigzag between the sugarcane fields, look at it, the dense sugarcane is all over the mountains, when the two of the fishermen and servants walked by, they thought that the unmanned sugarcane fields would suddenly have farmers straighten up and look at them, Sixi whispered: "Young master, walking at night, if there is a robber of the road strongman hiding in this field and suddenly jumping out, it is impossible to prevent it." ”

Zeng Yu said with a smile: "In this way, there are also Tibetans in the rice fields, and they don't dare to walk in the countryside." And he said, "As long as there is a bite of food to eat, who wants to be a thief." ”

Sixi said: "Yes, this year's harvest looks good, and the rice is also a bumper harvest." ”

The sugarcane field not far away rose with green smoke, as if it was burning something, Zeng Yu and the two did not know why, asked the farmers on the side of the road, but said that they were clearing the sugarcane that had been affected by the insect disease, if the insect disease spread, then the loss of the thousand acres of sugarcane land must be heavy, so it is necessary to check one by one to see if there are white leaves, dead leaves, if there are, then it must be uprooted and burned as soon as possible——

The old farmer looked up to the sky and said: "They all rely on the sky to eat, God bless." ”

Zeng Yu asked: "Who owns the land that smokes?" ”

The old farmer said: "The 300 acres of sugarcane land in the north are the land of the rich man Zhu Jurong's family in the east of the village

Zhu Jurong is Zeng Yu's sister Zeng Ruolan's father-in-law, Zeng Yu hurriedly said: "May I ask my father-in-law, why is the Zhu family restless?" ”

The old farmer said with a hoe: "That Zhu Jurong was deceived by a Taoist priest who traveled to the field for a few hundred taels of silver, and he was so angry that he fell ill, and the three sons made a fuss about dividing the family property, and the three concubines also quarreled, and the second daughter-in-law relied on her mother's strength to beat the third daughter-in-law." ”

Zeng Yu was taken aback, the third daughter-in-law that the old farmer said was his sister Zeng Ruolan, and asked urgently: "How is Zeng's injury, when did this happen?" ”

The old farmer looked at Zeng Yu and said, "Where is the scholar from?" ”

Zeng Yu said: "I am the younger brother of the third daughter-in-law of the Zhu family, Zeng. ”

The old farmer said: "The Zeng family has returned to her parents' house, since you are her younger brother, how can you not know the way?" ”

Zeng Yu said: "I have been away for the past two months, and I don't know the situation at home, please let my husband know." ”

The old farmer said "oh" and said: "This-the old man is not good to say, Zeng didn't hurt much, and took the two children back to his parents' house ten days ago." ”

The old farmer learned that Zeng Yu was the younger brother of the third daughter-in-law of the Zhu family, and he was afraid of causing trouble, so he refused to say more about the Zhu family.

Zeng Yu thought to himself: "The eldest brother in the family has always been weak and afraid of things, and the sister-in-law is also an unvirtuous person, I am afraid that I will not give my sister the first to solve the dispute, this family is often short and there is no reason to talk about it, just look at whose mother's brother has more and is strong, my Zeng family is the only seedling in Yongfeng, there is no clan to rely on, if the eldest brother does not come forward, only I will help my sister, but now what the situation is has not been figured out, if you rashly go to Zhu House, I don't know who he is, I don't know myself, I can't cause a verbal dispute, and I can't talk to him about the person who wishes my brother-in-law." Then he said to Sixi: "Let's go back first, and then we will see my sister and ask about the situation." ”

The old farmer saw that Zeng Yu's master and servant were almost in front of the Zhu family, but went back the same way, shook his head and continued to check the sugarcane, thinking: "The Zeng family doesn't seem to have any power, in the early years, Mr. Shake Long's reputation was not small, and the friends were all officials, if Mr. Shake Long was alive, the Zhu family was afraid that no one would dare to bully the Zeng family." ”

Zeng Yu walked in the sugarcane field with his head bored, unhappy, last time he also wanted to take his mother and Niuniu to join his sister, but he didn't expect his sister to have a good time, this old farmer said that his sister with two children had returned to Shitian ten days ago, it is said that the eldest brother Zeng Qian should also bring people to reason, but so far he has not come, I am afraid that it will not be over, with the sister-in-law's person, my sister may not be able to stay in Shitian, where is my sister and two little nieces now?

The sedan chair on the shoulders of the sedan chair driver has a rhythmic ups and downs to make a "crunch" sound, there are two bamboo sedan chairs from the opposite side, Zeng Yu is slower because he wants to avoid things, the road is narrow, the sedan chair man who carries the sedan chair has to slow down, and someone in the sedan chair in front of him said: "What do you do when you stop the sedan chair?" When I looked at it, I saw that it was Zeng Yu's master and servant, and hurriedly retracted my head-

Zeng Yu had already seen that the person in the sedan chair was his brother-in-law Zhu Dedong, what did Zhu Dedong do when he saw him?

Zeng Yu stopped the sedan chair and arched his hand: "Is it the brother-in-law of the Zhu family, the younger brother Zeng Yu." ”

Zhu Dedong is in his thirties, a little fat, and the appearance of oily hair and flour noodles makes Zeng Yu very eye-catching, he has not liked this brother-in-law since he was a child, for the sake of his sister's face, there must still be a number of courtesies-

Zhu Dedong saw that he couldn't dodge, so he had to stick his head out again and said, "It's Jiu Li, didn't you say that you escaped, how could you be here?" ”

Zeng Yu saw his brother-in-law Zhu Dedong sitting in a sedan chair talking to him, and couldn't help but feel angry, and said: "This is strange, why should I run away?"

Zhu Dedong still didn't get out of the sedan chair, and said: "Last time, you beat a Xiucai surnamed Jiang in your county, then Jiang Xiucai sued the official, and Soap Li also came to my Zhu family to arrest people, and I also made a few dollars of silver to send them away, alas, you really don't grow up, and you are not a child anymore, and you are still causing trouble everywhere, causing your sister to shed tears for you——"

This Zhu Dedong taught Zeng Yu a lesson, taught a few words, and said: "Don't be idle outside, hurry back to Shitian." "Retract your head, and order the sedan chair man to get up.

"Wait a minute," Zeng Yu didn't give way, asking, "Where is my sister now?" ”

Zhu Dedong's face was not revealed, and he said: "Go back to Ishida, you can see her when you go back-Jiu Li, you get out of the way, I still have urgent things to do."

The sun was very sunny, Zeng Yu straightened the shade and said: "I heard that my sister was bullied by my concubine and took the two children back to her parents' house, I don't know what happened, brother-in-law told me?" ”

Zhu Dedong in the sedan chair didn't say anything, and said after a while: "You go back and ask your sister, I don't have time to talk to you now-get up the sedan chair, get up the sedan chair, and if you don't leave, I won't pay the sedan chair workers." ”

The two palanquin men bowed their hands to Zeng Yu and said: "This son, please let me go, it's not easy for us to make money selling coolies." ”

Zeng Yu suppressed his anger and asked the sedan chair man: "How much sedan chair silver?" ”

The sedan chair man said: "The two sedan chairs said that it was good to pay forty yuan." ”

Zeng Yu said: "I'll give you five cents of silver, and you can carry the empty sedan chair back now-Sixi, give money." ”

"What are you talking about?"

Zhu Dedong shouted, stretched out his head again, and glared at him: "What do you want, what do you want?"

Zeng Yu said coldly: "I don't want to think about anything, I just want to ask how my sister was bullied in the Zhu family?" ”

Zhu Dedong said angrily: "Is this something you can manage, I said that I asked you to go back and ask your sister, what are you doing stopping me, believe it or not, I asked the official to arrest you, you are now on the run." ”

Zeng Yu said: "Don't scare me, my case with Jiang Yuanrui has been closed, nothing has anything to do with me, my sister is in Ishida, I can't go back and ask for a while, I only ask you, who bullied my sister?" ”

Sixi took out a small piece of broken silver, about four or five points, and asked, "Young Master, give it to them?" ”

Zeng Yu said to the four palanquin men in front and behind: "Take your salary and leave quickly, otherwise you won't have a penny when the trouble will start." He said to Zhu Dedong: "Remember, you owe me five cents of silver." ”

Zhu Dedong said angrily: "Zeng Yu, this is in my Zhu family, you dare to mess around and be careful of your dog's legs." "Zhu Dedong is tearing his face.

Zeng Yu said to the sedan chair man: "Don't you leave yet, you won't have to pay for breaking the sedan chair." ”

The four sedan chairmen in the front and back of the two sedan chairs hurriedly said to the people in the sedan chairs: "Come down, come down, come down, we won't lift it if we want to fight." "The sedan chair was raised low in front and high in the back.

Generally, when getting off the sedan chair, in order to make it convenient for people to cross the sedan barricade, it is also this frame momentum, Zhu Dedong wants to sit unstable in the sedan chair, so he has to get off the sedan chair, and is about to scold Zeng Yu, but the sedan chair behind rolls down a person, "oops, oops" screams pain, Zhu Dedong hurried to help, scolded the sedan chair man, and the four sedan chair men ran away with the empty sedan chair, and soon disappeared in the sugarcane field.

Zeng Yu saw that the woman Zhu Dedong picked up was about twenty-four or five years old, combing her heart bun, her complexion was fair, her cheeks were slightly tingled, her chin was pointed, and she was a little pretty. "Hold the woman and leave.

Zeng Yu blocked the way and asked the young woman, "Who are you from Zhu Dedong?" ”

The woman looked delicate, but her tone was pungent, and she sneered: "You are Zeng Ruolan's younger brother, what about Zeng Ruolan, doesn't she dare to come back."

Zhu Dedong came to push Zeng Yu violently, and Zeng Yu borrowed a little force, and he fell into a dog and ate, Zeng Yu is not angry now, stepped on this bad brother-in-law, and continued to ask the young woman: "Say, who are you Zhu Dedong?" ”

The woman was a little flustered, but she still said stiffly: "This is Zhu Jiajia, if you dare to beat people, you will not be able to get out of this sugarcane field." As she spoke, she walked slowly on the side of the road, and then she ran with her legs, and the woman was small-footed, and she fell after a few steps, and got up and ran again in a panic.

Sixi asked, "Young Master, do you want to stop her?" ”

Zeng Yu didn't want to entangle with a woman, waved his hand, lowered his head and asked, "Zhu Dedong, is that woman your friend?" ”

The ground was hot, Zhu Dedong's back was stepped on by Zeng Yu's left foot, he couldn't struggle, he felt that his left cheek was about to blister, and shouted: "Let me get up, let me get up." ”

Zeng Yu asked: "Say, how did you wish your family to bully my sister, who is that woman?" ”

Zhu Dedong kicked his legs and shouted angrily: "I just want to take a break from that Zeng Ruolan, what are you going to do?" ”

Zeng Yu asked quietly: "Why do you want to divorce my sister?" ”

Zhu Dedong shouted, "Because you hit me." ”

Zeng Yu grinded his left foot hard: "Don't pull me, you want to marry that woman, so you want to divorce my sister, right?" ”

Zhu Dedong's forehead was bruised, and he hissed: "If you want to divorce your sister and marry her, what can you do to me." ”

Zeng Yu said coldly: "I can castrate you." I really wanted to step on Zhu Dedong's head, thinking about whether this person was the father of his two nieces, or I endured it, withdrew my left foot, watched Zhu Dedong get up, and said, "When I see my sister, I'll reason with you together." ”

Zhu Dedong wanted to pounce and fight, but he was too timid, so he turned around and ran into Zhu's house, saying as he ran: "Zeng Yu, you wait, you wait." ”

Zeng Yu said: "Zhu Dedong, I'm waiting for you in Guangxin Mansion." ”

The 5,000-word chapter is even more here, Xiaodao is not a fat man, he didn't break his promise, but because he watched half of the AFC Champions League, he updated it late, and asked for a monthly ticket and a recommendation ticket
