Chapter 70: Up the Mountain
The donkey cart first went around the county seat, Yang Mu bought a lot of gifts and daily necessities, and bought a few sets of ready-to-wear clothes, and then continued to go to Jiguan Mountain.
Jiguan Mountain is in the east of the county seat, and Zhupo Village is exactly two directions, and the mountain road is difficult to walk, to climb over two mountains.
When the ox cart reached the mountain road, they could no longer walk, so the people got out of the cart and began to walk.
Niu Laohan took the money given by Yang Mu and drove away without looking back.
Yang Mu never knew that the old donkey could run so fast!
The mountain road is rugged and difficult to walk, and Big Black Tooth looks very excited, smell here, look there, or simply raise his legs to paddle the ground.
Qiuqiu is dead or alive when passing by a bamboo forest, and the "huh" is endless. As a last resort, everyone had no choice but to give it a tender bamboo to gnaw on, and then it was willing to calm down and concentrate on cooking.
Yang Shishi fell asleep in Fang Fugui's arms, and it was not until night that he was suddenly awakened by the wolf's howl. When he woke up, he found that it was not his sister who was holding him, so he immediately twisted his little body and asked his sister to hug him.
Several people gathered around the bonfire, Fang Fugui put down Yang Shi, and the little guy ran to his sister's side, and said in a milky voice: "Sister, I'm afraid!" ”
Yang Mu was turned into water by his cute heart, and immediately picked up the villain and comforted him softly.
In fact, Yang Shishi has become more and more bold since he broke up, but he is still a little afraid of changing the unfamiliar environment.
nestled in his sister's arms, Yang Shishi felt safe, and gradually fell asleep again.
Fang Fugui, Yang Mu and Mu Dalang took turns to keep vigil, and the night was peaceful.
On the second day, several people put out the fire and continued on their way.
When they were hurrying to Jiguan Mountain, in the Baiyun Academy in the county seat, the gentlemen were holding a meeting to discuss the matter of Yang Ershan.
Yang Ershan humiliated women on the street to do business, which is not a big deal, and even some pretentious gentlemen think that women are born lowly, so they should not do what men do, and it is even more immoral to show up.
Some gentlemen, on the other hand, believe that the law does not say that women are not allowed to do business, and that some women are even better at business than men.
Some gentlemen give examples that there are also women in business in this dynasty, such as the Bai family, which is the richest man in the country, and women are in power.
Some gentlemen took out the matter of the former princess Qilin and the women's army stationed in Niangzi Pass.
The topic became bigger and bigger, and in the end, the gentleman who supported the woman's business mentioned the matter of the queen mother of the two palaces hanging the curtain and listening to the government.
Those pretentious gentlemen suddenly became like gourds with sawed mouths, and stopped talking.
When the emperor was very young, he could only be listened to by the queen mother of the two palaces, which was a last resort.
If anyone dares to say "Ji Si Chen", then he will definitely be scolded with a sentence "Then you say, who will the state affairs be entrusted to?" ”
No matter who the answer is handed over, they all want to take the power of the queen mother.
So, it's a very sensitive topic.
The meeting went silent.
Suddenly, a small servant came in from outside, muttering in the dean's ear.
The dean's face changed, and he was surprised: "What did you say?!" ”
The little guy spoke a little loud this time, and everyone who was listening with bated breath heard it.
Someone stole one hundred taels of silver from the college to make summer uniforms!
The person who stole has been caught red-handed, it is Yang Wen, a student from the same village of Yang Ershan!
The gentlemen are confused, what happened to this Zhupo Village? There are two students in total, and both have problems!
It turned out that when Yang Wen passed by the account room, he saw the account man go to the toilet, and saw that there was no one in the house, and the cabinet was not locked, so he took one hundred taels of silver with luck.
This hundred taels is actually for returning to Yang Mu.
It's just that he didn't expect that as soon as he put the silver in his pocket, the bookkeeper came back, and he was caught, and he couldn't even quibble.
For students who have such a major problem as stealing, Baiyun Academy has always dealt with it seriously.
Therefore, the original meeting to discuss Yang Ershan was temporarily changed to discuss how to deal with Yang Wen.
After a heated discussion at the meeting, it has always been believed that Yang Wen should be expelled to protect the reputation of Baiyun Academy!
So, Yang Wen was blasted out of the academy and confiscated one hundred taels of dirty silver.
Yang Wen returned to the village with a disgraced face, and the patriarch learned about it and was so angry that he asked for family law.
Yang Sanbo personally got started and beat Yang Wen hard.
Yang Wen, who was beaten and had his skin open, lay on the bed, gritting his teeth in anger.
If it weren't for Yang Mu, how could he steal money?
If it weren't for Yang Mu, how could he be expelled?
If it weren't for Yang Mu, how could he be beaten by his father?
Yang Wen's teeth chattered, and after a while, he suddenly deflated.
He can't do Yang Mu!
Not only that, but he couldn't even get those two deeds back!
He grabbed his hair and roared in a low voice, impotent and furious.
He didn't understand, how could a rural village girl who didn't even know a word be so difficult!
The daughter of the county order, the female official who returned to her hometown to raise her, and the bandit cottage......
Why are these people so good to that village girl!
Now even my grandfather, the patriarch, needs to please her!
He doesn't even have the only racial advantage left!
It's really infuriating him!
……
In the upper room of the patriarch's house.
The patriarch sat on the chair, his face still not good.
Yang Sanbo stood in front of his father, holding a blood-dripping rattan in his hand, and sighed: "Father, what can this child do in the future?" ”
There is only such a seedling in the family who is studying, and he was expelled from Baiyun Academy, if he goes to other academies, it will still be a little difficult for him to take the exam.
The patriarch gritted his teeth and said, "You go and prepare the best gifts, and go with me to the dean's house tomorrow to plead for mercy." ”
He sighed and said, "Eventful! ”
Yang Sanbo complained, "No, the matter of the old Yang family has not been resolved, Mu Yatou went to the bandits' den to complain again, and I don't know if that group of bandits will anger our Zhupo Village!" ”
The patriarch glared at his son angrily and said, "I'm old, blind and blind, why don't you know that your ears are clear?" The old Yang family bullied Cao Xiaoxue like that, don't you even know? If we had known, we wouldn't have let Cao Xiaoxue die in Zhupo Village! It's so passive now! ”
Yang Sanbo was speechless, Cao Xiaoxue was bullied by the Zhao family, which one in the entire Zhupo Village didn't know?
At the beginning, it was my father who took a fancy to some assets of the old Yang family and gave the old Yang family face, so he ordered the villagers not to publicize this matter to the public, so as not to retaliate against the bandits!
Now it's time to blame him again!
It's just that his father has a lot of power, and he doesn't dare to fight back.
Fortunately, the patriarch just complained casually, and then changed the topic and said, "Hasn't Li Zheng come yet?" ”
Yesterday, he and Li Zheng discussed for a long time, but they didn't discuss how to deal with the Zhao family and the Ding family, but just locked the two in the ancestral hall for reflection.
It was almost noon for those who said that they would continue to discuss this matter today, and Li Zheng had not yet come.
At this time, the voice of the patriarch's daughter-in-law Ma came from the courtyard, "Kaitai is here?" ”
Then came Li Zheng's voice: "Aunt Tang, is the patriarch here?" ”
Ma, the patriarch's daughter-in-law, is the cousin of Lizheng's daughter-in-law, both surnamed Ma.
"Yes, I've been waiting for you for half the morning."
"Hey, then I'm in!"
When the words fell, Li Zheng opened the curtain and entered the room, and said with a happy face, "Patriarch, I have thought of how to deal with the two old ladies of the old Yang family!" ”
