Chapter 2 A desperate move
That's right, it's that Zhong Kui.
Originally from Zhongnan Mountain, he is both civil and military, has a strong temperament, and has all the characteristics.
There is an unmarried young girl at home, and she has a friend named Du Ping outside, which is also in line with the information about Zhong Kui marrying her sister.
Zhong Sheng couldn't help but smile bitterly. In later legends, there was no such nephew as his.
"Good grandson, remember it. You will be a child of an official family in the future. Don't go out and make trouble again."
"After your second uncle becomes an official, arrange an errand to study with peace of mind, and also get a fame and fortune in the future."
Grandma Zhong said slowly, and a light called happiness appeared on her face.
Zhong Sheng's heart was shocked, it was not right. According to legend, Zhong Kui not only did not know how to go to high school in this imperial examination, but would not die after failing the exam.
According to legend, Zhong Kui encountered injustice and died after failing the exam, which was in line with his strong character.
However, it is said that his second uncle is ugly and cheats his father!
Zhong Sheng has the most say in the Zhong family's appearance genes. Whether it is him or his sister-in-law Zhong Xiaomei, they all have outstanding appearances, far exceeding the average level.
The second uncle Zhong Dao is even more handsome and full of masculinity.
According to legend, when he went out to study, many wealthy prostitutes and brothel courtesans rushed to pay for them, and even wanted to elope with them.
Is it possible for such a person to fail because of his appearance?
Zhong Sheng actively mobilized ideas from later generations and quickly figured them out.
The imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty was simply a cake split among the upper class. There were so many wealthy families, founding elders, and countless children in the family. Taking the imperial examination as a ladder to reach the sky, how could it be the Han family's turn in Mount Zhongnan?
Even if you are both civil and military, talented, even if you are noble in character, good-looking, and have insufficient family status, you will not be admitted.
"Uncle Second is going to be bad this time."
What's even more terrible is that as soon as the second uncle died, he had no backing, the Zhong family had no shelter, and was about to face an unprecedented crisis.
Although the Zhong family is a cold family, it is not a poor person, but the family has little property.
A brick and tile house with a yard and ten acres of good land near the water source, employed several tenants to work.
This family business is for the second uncle to study and study, grandma Zhong is bedridden and taking medicine all year round, and also for Zhong Sheng, a vicious boy who does not work.
However, once there is no pillar in the family, the people who are desperate will rush over and eat their family until they are left with bones.
No matter how hard a evil boy can fight, he can beat the evil spirits of people. What is the plot of open swords and hidden arrows?
What's even more terrible is that the prefect is not a good man and a woman. When he learns that something happened to his second uncle, he will inevitably continue to pursue the matter.
The officials who destroy the family, the officials who destroy the family, let alone the prefect of the whole place.
The prefect of Zhongnan did not need to mobilize local government soldiers, and the family soldiers had bows, spears, swords and shields. It was easy to kill the Zhong family.
Zhong Sheng and his friends could still roar in a fight. When they heard that they were against the prefect, they would scatter on the spot and pretend to be dead on their own.
"I can't stay in Zhongnan Mountain anymore, I have to leave."
Thinking of this, Zhong Sheng held Grandma Zhong's wrist and said, "Grandma, I will help you back to rest first. When my sister-in-law comes back, we will discuss the moving matter."
"What family can you move? Live well."
He patiently persuaded him repeatedly and coaxed Grandma Zhong to fall asleep.
When my sister-in-law returned from buying vegetables, she saw Zhong Sheng put on her clothes and sat at the table with an unprecedented serious expression.
"My sister-in-law, I have something to tell you."
The younger sister-in-law put the vegetable basket next to her and said helplessly, "After saying that, as long as you don't go out to fight, everything is easy to discuss."
"We have to run!"
Zhong Sheng was unprecedentedly serious, "You can't run away, the prefect's prince wished he could kill me."
The younger sister-in-law breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought it was, don't be afraid, with your second uncle here, he wouldn't dare to touch our house."
No, it’s okay if the second uncle is here, what if the second uncle is not there?
Zhong Sheng was so anxious that he couldn't tell the truth. If he wanted to tell the truth, his sister-in-law would definitely scratch him with her nails.
"I'm just in case, my second uncle is far away in the capital. If the prefect is playing tricks, he will be out of reach."
Zhong Sheng said earnestly, "Water and fire are ruthless. Our old people are too young to defend against."
The younger sister-in-law didn't care at first, but as she listened, she said horrifiedly, "You mean, their house will set fire to the house."
"Have you had to be careful?" She looked Zhong Sheng up and down, "Xiao Sheng, you are particularly different today."
Zhong Sheng thought he had seen through and smiled awkwardly, "My sister-in-law, I'm awakened. It's really not necessary to cause trouble in the past."
"Bless Laojun."
The little sister cried with joy, "You finally got to know each other."
In the past, the evil boy Zhong Sheng shouted to beat and kill when he encountered something, and he was useless to teach him.
But today, I know how to use my brain and speak more in an orderly manner, unlike before.
"What I mean, let's hide first, we can't afford to mess with you."
"When my second uncle comes back from high school and becomes a high-ranking official in the capital, he will not dare to mess with us even if he is the prefect of Zhongnan."
When my sister-in-law heard that it made sense, she immediately became worried again. Where can I move?
"Uncle Du's house."
Du Ping is the second uncle Zhong Dao's friend of life and death. He is a man who is eager to be righteous. The key is that he is interested in his sister-in-law.
According to legend, after Zhong Dao died, he returned from becoming the Ghost King and marrying his sister to Du Ping, which must have made an agreement before his death.
Among the legend, Zhong Sheng chose Du Ping. In addition to legend, there is another important reason.
The Du Ping family was not in Zhongnan Mountain, but in another place.
The prefect of Zhongnan had no friendship with the local chiefs, so it was beyond the reach.
Even in later generations with extremely developed traffic information, there are various inconveniences in law enforcement across regions, which gives illegal people the opportunity to wander.
Nowadays, robbers and bandits have used common means to escape from government pursuits, which is to spread from one place to another.
As for the local government, they just keep their own affairs behind closed doors and harm their neighbors.
"Let's stay at Uncle Du's house for a few days!"
The little sister-in-law snatched the corners of her clothes, her face turned slightly red, and she said shyly, "You Uncle Du is single, I'm afraid it's inconvenient."
"If there is any inconvenience, my grandma and I will go."
When Zhong Sheng saw that he was moved by his sister-in-law, he continued to persuade him, "Let's stay for a few days, and when the second uncle returns, we will go home."
He did it as he said, and that night, Zhong Sheng wrote a letter and asked someone to deliver it to Du Ping's home overnight.
After a whole day and two nights, on the morning of the third day, Du Ping drove to the door.
"Uncle Du, you can take your sister-in-law and grandma to stay for a few days first. I'll clean up and we'll be there later."
Du Ping frowned slightly, "Xiaosen, don't be impulsive, the other party is the young master of the prefect of Zhongnan."
"I dare not be impulsive. I have suffered this great disaster. I have come to my mind. The people do not fight against the officials."
I said in my heart, I am an official, but my dog son is not an official.
The bullshit master!
What is the prince? In ancient times, he was called the son of a prince and the son of a local official, and he was also worthy of being called the prince?
Although the evil boy's soul has gone, the viciousness flowing in his blood in his bones made him unable to swallow this breath.
The second uncle couldn't come back, and the only one who returned to his hometown in Zhongnan was the news of his unjust death.
The Zhong family is about to face storms. At this time, as the only male in the family, he must hold on.
Du Ping nodded and patted his shoulder, "I'll talk to you later when I get home and settle down."
Zhong Sheng watched the carriage leave, turned around and went home, and entered his second uncle's room.
