I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 55
"Grandpa, Grandpa Muren, 500 taels is really too much." Zhan Feiyu sighed helplessly, and his shoulders collapsed as if he couldn't afford it.

After a long while, Zhan Feiyu said again: "The 20 taels of silver rewarded by Mr. Chen is enough for the medical expenses. In the future, I will work hard to copy the books and give my second uncle 100 taels of silver every month. After ten years, I will replenish the [-] taels of silver again." Uncle [-] taels of silver."

"No, your family is not divided, so you don't need to pay for this money." The village is resolutely rejected, the second room is insatiable, but Xiaoyu is good.

The old patriarch nodded in agreement, looked at Zhan Feiyu, who was just a little taller than the table, and said with relief: "As long as you study hard, our old bones are still alive, and Zhan's second son has issues with the village and the clan. be in charge."

Although the second son of Zhan can't do heavy work, he can still do light work, and he will never starve to death.

Besides, Dalang is in his teens. He has no talent in reading and likes to be lazy. He should get married in a few years, and Dalang should also bear the burden of the second room as the eldest son.

"Seventh uncle, why don't the village and the clan find an easier job for the second child, and subsidize the second room with two hundred wen each month." After thinking for a while, the villager gave a suggestion.

At the end of the day, I still don't want the second room to make a fuss, and finally dragged down Zhan Feiyu, a good seedling who can read.

The old patriarch took a sip of tea from the thick porcelain cup, half-squinting his eyes.

Although the subsidy of two hundred yuan is not much, it is not appropriate. In the future, if other people have some misfortune, will they have to let the village clan take the money?But if you don't agree, why can second Zhan.

After a while, the old patriarch saved the mind of the exam and asked with a smile, "Xiaoyu, do you think it is feasible?"

Looking at the old patriarch whose face was full of kindness, but his eyes were shrewd and wise, Zhan Feiyu didn't hide his clumsiness, and answered in a crisp voice: "As the saying goes, there is no shortage of problems, but there are uneven problems. Most of the people in the village are poor. If an example is given, others will They will ask the village clan to subsidize them.”

Thinking that those aunts and daughters-in-law can quarrel for three days and three nights over a vegetable, the village Zheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I think it's simple, Xiaoyu deserves to be a scholar, haha, the old patriarch, our Zhan clan has a successor! "

Touching his beard, the old patriarch looked at Zhan Feiyu, who had clear eyes, with admiration. For a moment, the old patriarch regretted that this was a doll, but on second thought, it was God's love for Zhan to have such a prodigy. Insufficient greed.

"Instead of subsidizing Zhan's second child, it is better to let the clan in the village provide Xiaoyu to study. If others don't agree, as long as they have the talent of Xiaoyu to read, the clan in the village will provide them with the imperial examination!" The old patriarch said with a smile. The solution is also selfish, wanting Zhan Feiyu to be closer to the clan.

To subsidize Zhan’s second son two hundred yuan a month, that’s just over two taels of silver a year, which is enough for a scholar, but it’s not a small amount. It will cost you a tael of silver to take part in the county exam and ask a student to be a security bond, not to mention the usual amount of money. The money to buy books, ink, ink, ink, and books costs [-] taels of silver a year, which is not considered a private school.

In fact, the old patriarch wants to adopt Zhan Feiyu. In this way, he and Zhan's family are relatives. In the future, not only will they be less dragged, but they will also be closer to the clan, but this is not easy to operate. After all, it will break the bones. Muscular family.

Zhan Feiyu stood up straight, and said solemnly, "Grandpa, I will keep in mind the kindness of the family to me. I and the Zhan family are both prosperous and damaged!"

"Okay!" The old patriarch laughed loudly, "The Zhan clan has such a good child, why is it not prosperous!"

Being praised a little guilty, Zhan Feiyu grinned. In fact, she also wanted to go out by adoption and come to a complete break, but now that she has not reached this stage, she can't mention it, otherwise she will only appear cold-blooded and ruthless.

"Grandpa, something happened!"

Outside the door, the little grandson of the old patriarch shouted at the top of his voice. He entered the house in three or two steps, and said breathlessly, "Grandpa, I don't know who smashed the third uncle's house!"

"What?" The old patriarch and the village were at the same time, and they looked at Zhan Feiyu with their eyes.

Uh... Zhan Feiyu shook his head innocently, "It has nothing to do with me!"

When the old patriarch and villager Zheng arrived at Zhan's house, the yard was already full of people. Unlike the four or five local ruffians brought by Liu Wangcai last time, this time there were more than 20 people, all tall and strong men.

"The village is here and the old patriarch." Someone shouted, and the people surrounding the yard made way.

"You are bullying people! God, open your eyes..." Little Yao Shi, with her hair loose, sat on the ground and slapped her legs and cried, "Why do you only smash our second room! You bully honest people!"

The last time Liu Wangcai followed Zhu Kun's instructions to make trouble, but he was also careful. Zhan Feiyu was good at reading, who knows what will happen in the future, so he went to the second room when he was smashed.

This time, the strong men had a clear purpose and went straight to Zhan's second son. The furniture that was repaired and repaired after the last time was "end of life" this time.

Not only that, the clothes and quilts of the second room were also scattered all over the floor. After you stepped on me, the whole second room was a mess, the door was crumbling, and the windows were broken with two holes.

"Grandpa, I'm afraid." Zhan Saburo's snot and tears covered his face, and he grabbed the corner of old Zhan's clothes in fear.

Zhan Dalang was reading the book in the study before. When he saw that the situation was not good, he locked the wooden door and hid in the study and did not come out until Zhan Feiyu and the others came, and then he secretly opened a crack to look outside.

"You dead girl, you are the key to our old Zhan family's ruin!" The old lady Zhan was taking care of the pale-colored second Zhan who was sitting on the chair. When she saw Zhan Feiyu, the old lady Zhan yelled. He stared at Zhan Feiyu with vicious eyes, wishing he could kill people.

"I'm not alive!" Seeing this, the crying little Yao shrieked sharply, stumbled up from the ground, and pounced on Zhan Feiyu with his teeth and claws.

"I killed you, a scourge, and it wasn't enough that your second uncle was almost killed, and I even recruited the gangster into the house! You poor little beast, you must not die!" Xiao Yao's eyes swept over the messy The house, crying even more sad, this is all silver.

"Xiaoyu, what did you do today in the county seat!" Boss Zhan shook off Li's hand and questioned Zhan Feiyu angrily.

Just now he went fishing in the small river behind the village, and wanted to make up for Zhan's second son. After hearing the news, he rushed back, and the beating was over.

The one who was thrown staggered. After standing firm, Mrs. Li stepped forward angrily, blocking Zhan Feiyu in front of him, glaring at Boss Zhan who was about to make a move, "Are you such a father? If you don't know anything, just blame it. Little fish!"

The villagers standing in the yard looked at each other in dismay. At first, they really thought it was Zhan Feiyu's trouble. After all, everyone is a muddy stalker who eats food in the ground, and they don't have the ability to cause trouble.

Being protected by Li's behind, Zhan Feiyu shook her hand, then raised his head to look at Boss Zhan, who was full of anger, "Father, I went to Wenxing study to buy paper and inkstones today and went back to the village. , this has nothing to do with me."

"Bah, it doesn't matter if you say it's irrelevant, you didn't provoke it, how did these people get here?" Little Yao Shi, who jumped so high, cursed fiercely, if it wasn't for the two aunts on the side grabbing her arms, it would have been a long time ago. He rushed up to fight Zhan Feiyu.

"Okay, stop arguing!" The village chief frowned and scolded two words, then looked at the old man in the lead, "I am the village chief of Jinlin Village, I don't know how many are?"

The other party was in his fifties, with two goatee beards, different from the rough cloth bunts in the village, but in a dark gray long gown with his nostrils pointing upwards and his chin held up.

Butler Zeng squinted at the village, and snorted arrogantly, "Cunzhen came just in time, Zhan's second gang and the gang killed my wife, and almost killed my unborn young master, let alone smash it, Tomorrow, I will take the murderer Zhan Lao Er, who is the doorkeeper, to jail!"
