After worshiping Kou Yuanxing, Zhan Feiyu did not expect to see Kou's mother. Compared to meeting in Nanxuanfu that day, Kou's mother was more old and thin.
It seems that all the people in the world are the enemies who owe her.
"It turns out you!" Kou mother stared at Zhan Feiyuya, and the distorted hatred made her thin old face more embarrassed. If it wasn't for Zhan Fei fish, how could the little beast die?
The old ladies who are highly sought after by the Kou family will be the old -fashioned monarch who has no worries in the future!
When I thought of the pain of eating bran and throat for nearly ten years, I broke all hope during the test of Kou Yuanxing.
"Mrs. Kou." In front of Kou Yuanxing's tomb, even if the mother of Kou was not good, Zhan Feiyu didn't want to say anything unpleasant.
Looking at Zhan Feiyu's like nothing to leave, Kou's mother only felt her brain, and she scolded her wisely. "You killed my son, do you still have a face to worship in front of the grave?
Do you deliberately show off you to become the first trial case of the government? In the future, you will have to participate in the examination of the hospital and participate in the township test! You bitch, how can you die, not you! "
In the hysterical curse, Kou mother looks like a female ghost, her skinny body, twisted eyes, Zhan Feiyu and Yin Wuyan are okay.
The stepmother is so terrible.
"Big brother, go." Zhan Fei fish looked cold.
The selfish person of the mother Kou, she is just emotional collapse at this moment. In fact, she really dare not to Zhan Feiyu. Otherwise, she would not escape with the Kou clan before.
The case of Kou Yuanxing, such as Yang Xuanfu, was closed. In the final analysis, Kou's mother did not dare to offend Zhan Feiyu and dare not offend Zhang Zhifu.
Big mouth was gasp, and Kou's mother looked at Zhan Fei fish who left. For a moment, she wanted to push her to the mountains. It was best to fall into meat mud to eliminate her hatred.
But looking at Zhan Fei's head, the valuable pearl cicada pattern, Kou's mother could only stand in place with her old face, she hated it and was afraid of death.
"Zhan Tongsheng?" Because of the unwillingness, he rushed to the grave and Mountain.
Previously, the Kou clan went to the city for more than 20 people for the heavy money promised by the mysterious nobles. Finally, they could only escape from Koujia Village.
More than ten silver are used to rent a carriage and the cost of accommodation.
I glanced at Uncle Kou coldly, but Zhan Feiyu was too lazy to say hello.
"Zhan Tongsheng, please stay." Uncle Kou hurriedly chased over and accompanied him with a smile: "Since Zhan Tongsheng is here, please take a while at home.
Zhan Feiyu is already childhood. After the August Hospital test, it must be a talented talent, and Uncle Kou does not want to knot it. He just does not want to be revenge.
In a word.
Uh ... seeing a person with darkness under the mountains, there are men, women, and children, and Zhan Feiyu is surprised. No one in Koujia Village does not need to work on the ground?
"Clan leader, that's Zhan Feiyu!" A clan member who had gone to Nanxuan Mansion before recognized Zhan Feiyu and immediately informed the clan leader around him.
The death of Kou Yuanxing made everyone in the Kou village know about Zhan Feiyu, and they also realized that there was someone who was more talented in reading than Kou Yuanxing, and had better luck! He could be valued by Magistrate Zhang. Even for a little girl, it was surprising.
The people in Koujia Village's eyes turned red with envy.
"The person must be kept!" the clan leader said categorically. He and Uncle Kou had the same idea, and since Zhan Feiyu came to worship Kou Yuanxing, there was room for change.
Of course, the patriarch thinks more long-term. The Kou family village is not poor, so every household will send at least one boy to study. If the family is wealthy, just like the patriarch's family, all four grandchildren are sent to private schools. Whoever has talent can continue to study in the future.
Go down.
The patriarch is worried that if this hatred is not resolved, the scholars in Koujia Village will be tripped up when they meet Zhan Feiyu in the future.
After a while, Zhan Feiyu saw the two Kou clan elders who were trembling and almost kneeling down. Naturally, Zhan Feiyu clearly saw the fear and defensiveness in their eyes, and could only agree, "There is no need to eat. Just drink a glass of water and rest. In the afternoon
I have to rush back to Shangsi County."
"Okay, Zhan Tongsheng, please come this way." The clan leader also recognized the interest and hurriedly agreed, personally leading the way.
After seeing Zhan Feiyu and his party leaving, the women who stayed behind looked at each other and said, "So that little girl is Zhan Feiyu? She is already a child."
"I heard from the head of the family that she is from Jinlin Village, Shangsi County, and has only been studying for two or three years. How do you think she has such a brain? If my husband is half as smart as her, I can wake up laughing even when I fall asleep.
"
"Mom, is she also a country girl?" The young girl who spoke was about fifteen or sixteen years old. She lowered her head and looked at her rough, calloused hands, and then looked at the washed white clothes, and the cloth shoes on her feet were torn.
A hole.
Thinking of the leaving Zhan Feiyu, her cheeks as white as shelled eggs, her beautiful skirt, and the pearl hairpin on her head, the young girl who felt ashamed suddenly came up with the idea that she would get married in the future, even if she gave birth to a baby.
Daughter, she also wants to send her to study!
…
Originally, the clan leader planned to bring Zhan Feiyu to his home. After all, the clan leader was the richest in the village and had a tea set for entertaining guests. The tea was also given as a new year's gift to his daughter who married into Fucheng.
But Kou's mother wanted to take him back to her home, saying that there were still some books in Kou Yuanxing's study, and she just asked Zhan Feiyu to help distribute some to the children studying in the village. This request made the clan leader unable to refuse.
Kou Yuanxing's house was a three-room brick house with a yard at the front and back, which was considered medium-sized in the village. All the money in the family was used for Kou Yuanxing's education.
Zhan Feiyu was more willing to go to the study than drink tea, "Clan leader, you're welcome, it won't waste too much time."
"Then thank you Zhan Tong for giving birth." The clan leader thanked him again gratefully, and his worried heart was finally relieved. Zhan Feiyu's willingness to help showed that she did not bear any grudge against the Kou family.
Seeing Zhan Feiyu leading Yin Wuyan into the study, Uncle Kou, who was standing in the yard, glanced in the direction of the kitchen and whispered: "Uncle Fifth, I feel something is wrong."
Previously, Kou's mother gave thirteen acres of fertile land to the clan, which could be regarded as resolving the hatred between her and the clan. She also adopted Kou Hai, and both parties were at peace with each other.
The grandson of Uncle Kou's family became enlightened last year. He had discussed with the clan leader and planned to take out the books in Kou Yuanxing's study and the articles he had written, including pens, inks, paper and inkstones. He is already dead, so it would be a waste to keep these things.
.
But she was rejected by Kou's mother. Even if Uncle Kou and the others were willing to pay half of the money for the purchase, Kou's mother did not agree. Thinking that she had given thirteen acres of fertile land to the clan, Uncle Kou and the others did not dare to force her. Unexpectedly,
Mother Kou suddenly brought up old matters again today.
"Let's watch it first. No matter what, we can't let her offend Zhan Feiyu." The clan leader sighed. It was indeed the clan's greed to force orphans and widowed mothers back then, but Kou's mother was not willing to marry into the Kou family village.
There once was a neighbor who was a childhood sweetheart, but Kou's mother's parents arranged a marriage for her early.
Kou's mother wanted to regret her marriage, but the people in Kou's village would not agree. If she regretted her marriage, would the Kou family have any face to speak of? After being forced to get married, Kou's mother had a cold face towards her parents-in-law and husband, let alone
She sees the people in her clan as enemies.
Later, after Kou's father died unexpectedly, Kou's mother went to the county town again and again. There were a lot of gossips in the village, saying that Kou's mother was going to remarry. Her childhood sweetheart was a businessman and never got married. It was said that she was waiting for Kou's mother.
Therefore, the Kou clan members were also afraid that Kou's mother would sell more than 20 acres of land, and then throw away the young Kou Yuanxing, take the money and belongings, and run away with the adulterer who was running a business. That's why they forced
Kou's mother handed over the fertile land. Of course, this was also because the Kou family was greedy and jealous of these more than 20 acres of fertile land.
In the kitchen, Kou's mother was sitting on a small stool adding firewood to the stove. Under the light of the fire, her eyes were gloomy and terrifying.
"Mom, there's no need to add more firewood, the water is boiling." Kou Hai reminded him that his parents were both dead, and although his grandparents and uncles were taking care of him to keep him from starving to death, he was getting older and had to get married.
Hai is only fourteen years old now and has no skills but can only work in the fields, so he has no money at all to get married.
The clan said that he would be adopted by Kou's mother to take care of him in his old age, and Kou's mother would prepare a betrothal gift for him in the future. Kou Hai agreed without even thinking about it. He had a house, and he would have five acres of fertile land in the future. As long as he was not lazy, he would be able to live happily ever after.
Got through it.
"Haier, go find the tea set and wash it." Kou's mother said in a hoarse voice, patting the ashes on her legs, looking at Kou Hai who turned to leave, and then took out a small yellow paper bag from her body.
In the study room, Zhan Feiyu saw Kou Yuanxing's articles neatly stacked together, as well as the books filled with annotations, especially the stacks of jute paper placed at the bottom of the cabinet, as if he saw himself again.
"Brother, Kou Yuanxing is a little better than me. When I first started to learn, I couldn't even bear to use jute paper worth twenty cents per knife. I practiced calligraphy on the table with a brush dipped in water." Zhan Feiyu joked.
She laughed. She was used to writing with pens and gel pens in her previous life, and she had also practiced calligraphy with calligraphy, but it was absolutely impossible for her to write in petite-sized characters like the scholars of the Daqing Dynasty.
Therefore, when practicing calligraphy on the post, Zhan Feiyu would write with water in order to save money. Kou Yuanxing's family still had more than 20 acres of fertile land, so they could at least afford jute paper.
Yin Wuyan is reading Kou Yuanxing's "Collected Poems". He has bound all his poems into a volume. It can be seen from the poems that he is indeed talented.
"Kou Yuanxing's policy structure is rigorous, but the theory is empty. Even if he becomes an official in the imperial examination, he will stay in the Hanlin Academy at most, and if he is released as an official, he will be in the fifth rank at most." Judging from the article, Yin Wuyan does not think that Kou Yuanxing's official career can go far.
, the temperament and behavior are too extreme.
Zhan Feiyu glanced at Yin Wuyan suspiciously. The eldest brother didn't mean to belittle Kou Yuanxing, right? Zhan Feiyu had read the article on his government examination, and so had Magistrate Zhang. It was definitely a masterpiece. If it weren't for Magistrate Zhang's pragmatism, maybe the government would
The title of trial leader needs to be replaced by someone else."
Those who love want to live, those who hate want to die. Kou Yuanxing doesn't even have the basic ability to recognize people. Do you think he can withstand the turbulence of the court?" Yin Wuyan hit the nail on the head, so what if Kou Yuanxing has a talent for reading?
?How many top picks in the Hanlin Academy are still revising their books?
When Zhan Feiyu thought of Kou Yuanxing being deceived by Wang Linlang and manipulated by Kou's mother, he could only sigh, "Death is like a lamp going out."
There was a knock on the study door, and Kou Hai came in with a tray, hunched over and lowered his head, "The tea is ready."
After all, he had never read a book and had never seen the world. Kou Hai didn't dare to look at Zhan Feiyu. He put down his tea cup and hurriedly exited the study room.
Looking at the two steaming cups of tea on the table, Zhan Feiyu shook his head, "They were afraid of my revenge. How dare they go to Fucheng to sue Magistrate Zhang and force Kou Yuanxing to death."
It's not that Zhan Feiyu looks down on the people of Kou Village, but considering what they did before and after Kou Yuanxing's death, Zhan Feiyu really looks down on them, greedy and selfish. Fortunately, the Zhan clan members in Jinlin Village are not like this.
Otherwise Zhan Feiyu will really become a "lonely person".
"There is medicine in the tea." A cold voice sounded. There was no change in expression on Yin Wuyan's changed face, but his phoenix eyes were filled with coldness.
Uh... Although I didn't plan to drink tea, Zhan Feiyu didn't expect that people from Koujia Village would dare to drug him!
Putting down the book in his hand, Zhan Feiyu walked to the table and looked down at the two cups of tea. They were only medium-sized tea leaves with a faint scent of tea. The tea was slightly turbid. "Isn't this inferior medicine?"
Any colorless and odorless medicine is worth a lot of money. A small package is estimated to cost ten taels of silver. If it is a secret medicine, it is even more difficult to find. Zhan Feiyu raised his hand and touched the tea cup. It was still a little hot to the touch, and the tea leaves were also wet.
If it floats above the cup, it means that the tea stains have not penetrated into the water. However, the tea water has a slight yellowish-brown turbidity, which is caused by the medicine.
"Brother, what medicine did you put in? Poison?" Zhan Feiyu couldn't help but ask, his dark eyes blinking. Could it be that he was too kind, thinking that the people in Koujia Village let him rest to repair the relationship?
I never thought they were planning to poison me!
For Yin Wuyan, who was born in the Forbidden Dragon Guard, although he was not as proficient in medical science as Ji Chaoce, he took a look, then picked up the tea cup and smelled the smell, "Ordinary intoxicating drugs can be bought in the drug store for a small amount of money.
"
The Daqing Dynasty had strict control over drugs. All drugs sold by hospitals and pharmacies had to be registered. The sale of drugs, including poisons, which are harmful to the human body, was strictly prohibited. However, some people could not stop selling them privately for money. Of course, because
Under the law, we only dare to sell some medicines that are not very toxic. Those that can cause death, no matter how much money is given, ordinary doctors would not dare to sell them privately.
