In the middle of the night, everyone in the Xue family was called up.
In the main room, Mr. Xue sat on the kang with a dark face, and Mrs. Zhao sat on the head of the kang, next to the crying Xue Cui'e.
There were a lot of people standing around below, Zhao Jinrui knelt down on the ground with a disgraced face, in ragged clothes and looked extremely embarrassed.
Zhao'er said indignantly: "This is still an elder in terms of seniority, and I have never seen such an elder! I ran to climb my sister's window in the middle of the night. If it wasn't for the third aunt who was afraid that my sister would take the child by herself, something would happen at night. It’s inconvenient, let Tao’er live there, if it hadn’t happened to come back with Shengzi, I don’t know what it would have been like!”
"What can it be? Isn't it not good?" Zhao shi muttered.
Old Master Xue roared, "Shut up for me."
She immediately shut up angrily.
Xue Qinghuai said: "Mother, that's not what you said, Zhao Di is Zhao'er's sister, that girl has a hard life, so she was bullied for nothing. It's fortunate that nothing happened, if something happened, we The Xue family's face has been disgraced."
"No! What kind of son did the Zhao family raise, and he actually climbed the window in the middle of the night, what are you trying to do?!" Mr. Sun said.
"The Zhao family must explain this to me, or I will never finish with them!" Zhao'er said.
"What do you want to explain? What do you want to explain? I'm right here, you can pull me out and kill me! Jin Rui has been bitten like this by Heizi, and Wang Zhaodi is fine, what else do you want to explain! Your sister-in-law has already That's it, what do you want to explain!" Zhao stalked his neck and shouted, his face flushed purple, because he was so excited, spittle stars danced in the air: "Or you drag it out and kill me, my surname is Zhao, you I dragged it out and killed it!"
"Grandma, what you said is completely unreasonable."
"How can I reason with you..."
Suddenly, with a bang, it was Mr. Xue who slammed the kang table: "Shut up for me!" He was so angry that he trembled all over, coughed again, and couldn't stop coughing: "Cough... You... Thong, keke, thong... Shut up for me..."
"Father, are you alright?" Xue Qingbai hurriedly stepped forward to give Mr. Xue the air, and then went to get him a teapot so that he could drink water.
After a long while, Mr. Xue calmed down. He looked at Zhao'er: "Zhao'er, forget it."
"Grandpa!"
Old Master Xue's lips twitched, he pushed Xue Qingbai away, and went to touch the tobacco pouch: "Zhao Jinrui suffered such a big loss today, he will definitely not dare in the future. Who cares about you, look at your sister-in-law."
"Grandpa, he is really..."
"Grandpa knows he has done it, but he never looks at it. You look at your grandmother's surname Zhao, and you look at him as your aunt's man. If this matter becomes a big problem, not only your aunt and Zhao's family, Our family has no face anymore. Besides, Zhao Di is a woman and a widow, and it's not good for her reputation if this matter gets too big."
The room was quiet, and even Xue Cui'e didn't cry anymore.
Xue Qingbai looked at Father Xue and then at Zhao'er: "Zhao'er, look at this..."
"If there is another next time, I will let you arrest you to see the officials, and don't appear in front of my sister and me in the future!" After saying this, Zhao'er turned away in anger. Leaving behind the three-bedroom and four-bedroom couple, they looked at each other, informed Mr. Xue, and went back to the house.
The room was repressed and silent again. Old Man Xue looked at Zhao Jinrui with a vicious expression: "Tomorrow, both of you will go back to Zhao's house for me, and don't come again if you have nothing to do!"
"Father!" Xue Cui'e said frantically.
"Fuck off!"
Zhao Shi hurriedly gave her a wink, and Xue Cui'e hurriedly stood up to help Zhao Jinrui, and helped him to Xijian.
After that, Xi Jian's sobbing in a low voice didn't stop, and Mrs. Zhao also wiped away her tears. When Old Man Xue heard all this, he just sighed heavily.
Before dawn the next day, Zhao Jinrui took Xue Cui'e and left in a hurry.
After Zhao'er got up, listening to Zhou's talk about it, he was full of sighs. In fact, from the beginning, they didn't think about Zhao Jinrui.
No matter how hateful this person is, Zhao Jinrui can finally lead the relationship between Zhao and Xue Cui'e, especially if this matter is really big, it will really be bad for Zhao Di's reputation. She and her sister made a fuss, but just wanted to get rid of his shameful thoughts once and for all, and completely stop him from appearing in front of Zhao Di under the pretext of relatives or something.
With this time, everything in the Zhao family will have nothing to do with the second room in the future, and some face that needs to go through the motions can be given or not. As for what Zhao'er sighed, it was just that such a thing happened, and Mr. Xue wanted to let his daughter go back to Zhao's house, even Zhao's mother didn't say anything.
But, what can you say? Zhao Jinrui can't be beaten to death. If you want to solve it completely, you can only reconcile. And Heli was probably a solution that Xue Cui'e and even the old couple had never thought of.
For the first time, Zhao'er began to ponder how much injustice the world has done to her as a daughter. Even because she was pregnant with one, she couldn't help but think more. If she gave birth to a daughter, what should she do when the daughter grows up and encounters such a thing.
She thought about it for a whole day and came to a conclusion, that is to leave, go home, and she will raise her daughter, so she still has to make a lot of money.
Not to mention this, after Zhao Jinrui returned to the Zhao family, his appearance caused the Zhao family to shake.
Hong's eyes were swollen from crying, and Uncle Zhao also clenched his brows.
The doctor was invited, and the doctor treated the wound, prescribed medicine, and explained a series of things not to touch the water, not to eat spicy food, etc. In fact, Zhao Jinrui's injury was not serious, that is, a piece of his arm was bitten off by Heizi, and the rest were minor injuries.
Zhao Jinrui did not tell his family how he was injured, but only said that he was accidentally bitten by the dog of the second house of the Xue family. Including Xue Cui'e, he also explained to her sternly, and he was not allowed to miss out.
But the rift was still alive. Zhao Jinrui was bitten like this. The Xue family didn't even let a fart, and they didn't even ask the doctor for the most basic medicine. Living. Including Zhao Jinrui also persuaded her, saying that this matter is over.
Hong's heart is full of grievances, and naturally he knows what the man's son is worried about. It's not because of Zhao's, or because of Xue Cui'e.
Zhao's family is far away from Xue's house, she can't do anything about her, but that doesn't mean she can't do anything about Xue Cui'e!
All the hatred of the Hong family went to Xue Cui'e. The Hong family is the most duplicitous in doing things. She is afraid that people will say that she is mean to her daughter-in-law, so she will try to toss Xue Cui'e in a different way.
Before dawn, Zhao Jinrui said that Zhao Jinrui wanted to eat tofu, so he brought out the beans and asked Xue Cui'e to get up and grind the beans.
Grinding tofu is the most tiring job, and ordinary people don’t do it easily at home. On the one hand, it is laborious, on the other hand, it is not cost-effective to do less, and if you do too much, you will not be able to finish it. You can't put tofu in it, it will go rancid if you can't finish it in a day. Usually, you buy tofu directly and eat it.
Xue Cui'e was tossed and grinded early in the morning, not to mention the feeling of suffocation in her heart.
Her man was caught stealing and was injured. Her family blamed her, and her in-laws also blamed her. She couldn't say it, and she had to bear the blame for her injustice and anger. If Zhao Jinrui knew that he felt sorry for her, it would be fine, but since he came back from Xue's house, Zhao Jinrui was reluctant to talk to her. people.
Xue Cui'e was bitter in her heart, even more bitter than Huang Lian Shui, and she felt wronged in her heart, even worse than Dou E's. But the reason why the best is called the best is because the things in the mind are different from those of people.
She didn't hate the Zhao family, but she hated the two Zhao Er sisters, the initiators of everything.
If it wasn't for Wang Zhaoer's meddling and her liking to be in the limelight, her cousin wouldn't have complained about her for so long, and her mother-in-law wouldn't be angry with her. If it wasn't for Wang Zhaodi being a vixen, her cousin wouldn't have been bitten by Heizi and rejected by her parents, and the Zhao family wouldn't have treated her like that.
So it's all the sisters' fault!
Once again, the Hong family rushed Xue Cui'e to dig wild vegetables in the mountains early in the morning because Zhao Jinrui wanted to eat bracken. After she fell hard because she didn't see the road clearly, she threw her hoe and threw the basket on her back, and ran all the way down the mountain, secretly. Leaving Zhaojiazhuang.
On the other end, after delivering the letter home, Xue Tingxiang calmed down and concentrated on reading.
Every day, he would write two articles of the time, and go to the sixth master Wu Mingji to ask some questions about the management of the classics in the Spring and Autumn Period. Under his guidance, his understanding of "Spring and Autumn" has been improving day by day, and he has even extended his own opinions. Let Wu Mingji, who has been studying the Spring and Autumn Period for many years, be overjoyed, and praise him that he is better than the blue.
In his spare time, he did not forget to study books such as "Anthology of Huangchang Township Examination 23", "Two or 3 Hongbao", "Recipe for Examination in the Backfield", and "Anthology of Huangchang Planning". I'm preparing for the next township and meeting.
Most of these books are aimed at the last two exams of the township meeting, which is commonly known as the business book, which is printed by the folk engraving workshop. Whenever they arrive at the township and on the eve of the meeting, this kind of book is always popular in the market.
Xue Tingxiang thought that a place like Beilu Academy would not have such a utilitarian book, but who would have thought that he would find it in the library. Not only have they been found, they are both old and new. The latest Xue Tingxiang looked at the engraving time, and it was engraved in the last two months.
As for the old ones, it can even be traced back to the Song Dynasty.
Xue Tingxiang looked around the library, which covers a large area and is located in the center of Beilu Academy. In fact, this library really deserves this status.
Beilu Academy is famous not only because it has Lu Huanqing, a prestigious Taishan Beidou among scholars, but also because Beilu Academy has a special status in the court, but also because Beilu Academy has a library that is well-known all over the world. .
The collection of books in this library building is all-encompassing and all-encompassing, which is especially precious to many precious classics lost due to the war. Many people come to Beilu Academy to study and even ask for advice, precisely because of these books.
This is the foundation of Beilu Academy's establishment, including Lu Huanqing who said the same.
When he first came here, Xue Tingyan felt a sense of joy in this library, even in his dream, he was a good book person, but he was poor in his life, but it was not enough for one or two tenths of the book here. . And this time it felt even more so.
For the Four Books and Five Classics and other articles on craftsmanship, he claimed that although it was not easy to capture, it was not difficult. Only the last two games are what he currently lacks.
Even in that dream, his performance in the township and the meeting was not outstanding, and his ranking could only be regarded as medium, both of which were held back by the next two games.
Therefore, these books are very important to Xue Tingxiang today, and they just allow him to declare his shortcomings, and then make up for it from the experience of his predecessors.
Of course, while eagerly studying these books, Xue Tingxiang also had some doubts hidden in his heart.
Beilu Academy has always been known for not valuing fame and fortune. Xue Tingxiang observed the whole academy after he came. Although there are many people who are famous, they are all academic. When it comes to learning, everyone has their own unique opinions, but when it comes to dealing with people and managing the world, it is not an exaggeration for those uncles and seniors to say that they are laymen.
And Beilu Academy gives people the same impression, but they are just a group of idiots who study their knowledge carefully. Of course, there were also officials in the court, but the number was very small, and although they were high in status, they were not important.
To put it bluntly, it is a noble official position, not in power. Xue Tingxiang thought about it, this is probably the reason why Beilu Academy has always maintained its reputation as neutral. It's not an important position, so you can be detached from the outside world.
But why is there such a book in the library? Is it really for the sake of an all-encompassing reputation, so they have prepared all kinds of Chengwen ink rolls that have been printed in the past two months
Don't mention it, the time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, there was less than half a month left for the test.
One day, Chen Jian came to Xue Tingxiang, saying that Lin Miao was looking for him.
The two went to Lin Miao's residence together. Mao Badou and Li Datian arrived at about the same time as the two. After that, Lin Miao took a few people to Lu Huanqing's Wumingzhai.
This restaurant has no name, so it is called Wumingzhai. It is the residence of Lu Huanqing in Beilu Academy.
Not only a few people came, but there were other people, all of whom were planning to end this township exam.
Lu Huanqing said some words to them, mostly words of encouragement. In fact, in vernacular terms, it is to let them not pay too much attention to the results and focus on participation.
All the disciples, disciples, and grandchildren said yes, and after bowing, they retired.
Lu Huanqing left Lin Miao to speak.
Different from facing other people, when Lu Huanqing faced Lin Miao, Kuan Hezhong was concerned: "Don't be too concerned about gains and losses, as the teacher has said a long time ago, what one learns does not require external use. Things to prove. Beilu Academy is different from other places. Looking at the country and the outside world, people in the world all regard fame as their top priority, and they are troubled by external interests, but they don’t know…”
After this 'you don't know', there was just a long sigh.
Others don't know, but Lin Miao knows why, but he keeps it a secret.
After a long while, Lu Huanqing looked at Lin Miao and said, "Go ahead."
"is teacher."
The next day, a group of students from Beilu Academy, headed by Lin Miao, left the academy and went to Taiyuan Mansion.
At the same time, something happened to the Xue family.
