Wearing the cannon fodder little koi in the imperial examination essay

Chapter 314

As autumn passed and winter came, when the weather gradually turned cold, Yu Su received a letter from his uncle's elder brother to report his safety.

Yu Baozong was also hunted down, but they had their clansmen to support them, and Gu worms in their hands, although the other side's killers were not good at coming, they were all intercepted and killed by them on the way.

Of course, due to an emergency, sister-in-law Ah Yue became pregnant, and as a last resort, the eldest brother could not come to the capital city with his uncle's people, but he sent letters to his grandfather, uncle and them, bringing special products from Miaojiang.

Yu Su didn't know the frightening things that his elder brother had concealed, but he only knew that his sister-in-law would not be able to come for the time being, so Yu Su had to let the young husband and the second sister go out to sell things in the capital, and finally begged his uncle to deliver the things for him. go back.

After doing this, under the careful care of the imperial physician, Yu Su's injury was almost healed before the first snowfall. With Wang imperial physician's nod, Yu Su was finally unblocked by the steward and could move freely.

During this period of time, there has been a lot of panic in the capital city because of the fact that they were intercepted and killed in Beijing, but none of this affected them who lived in the Imperial College, and they also followed their uncle to the house that his uncle bought outside the palace Here, I met my grandfather Su, who was rarely out of Beijing when he was free.

Regarding the matter of revenge, both my uncle and my grandfather said they knew it well, and my grandfather even said to Yu Suyu earnestly, let her not worry, it's not just something that the governor of Yuezhou can do behind it.

After waiting for so many years, they didn't recognize their uncle at the beginning. They all planned to gradually accumulate strength step by step before plotting revenge. Even Song Xinglin thought that if he could get the title on the gold list, he would have to sue him if he went all out in the Golden Luan Hall. .

Now that she has an uncle and a grandfather, the elders have said so, Yu Su waited patiently, she said to herself, it is not a matter of gold mines, it is just the assassination this time, regardless of the final court Whatever they do, they will always give them an explanation. The court would never leave a gold mine alone. Yu Su is looking forward to uncovering the ultimate secret behind his family's blood feud, and also looking forward to the final punishment of the enemy behind the scenes.

While she was recuperating from her injuries, her uncle sent someone to take the young gentleman to the Yamen. Regardless of Yu Su and Song Xinglin's obstruction, Su Gonggong put the Zhuangzi and the shop under Yu Su's name as her dowry. Talking about the share of the two elder brothers, the uncle waved his hand, saying that good men don't eat the share of the family, besides, he still has, and he doesn't want Yu Su to worry about it.

So, Yu Su has become a little rich woman who holds two troublesome big shops in the capital city and a big Huangzhuang in the suburbs.

The weather was fine that day, although there was still a cold wind blowing outside, it couldn't stop Yu Su's enthusiasm for inspecting his property.

He had to obey his wife's words, and Song Xinglin was very firm about it.

Tomorrow, Song Xinglin was planning to go to the Zhuangzi to have a look. Song Xinglin rejected his uncle's idea of ​​finding someone to escort him. Since his uncle learned about Huangzhuang's situation, he went to a car dealer with a good reputation and rented a carriage by himself, and prepared for the carriage. After getting some food, tea, charcoal basin and other things, I set off with my family.

Huangzhuang on the outskirts of Beijing is said to be Huangzhuang, but the life of the people in Zhuangzi is not very easy.

There are four kinds of people living in Zhuangzi.

There is a relationship, a backstage, a fat head, a big pocket, and a talker is a kind of talker;
It is a kind of person to become a thug in the hands of the Zhuangtou by flattering and flattering, and eat the oil and water exposed between the fingers of the Zhuangtou;
The family is poor and has to bear high dividends. Renting the land in the village is a kind of tenant who does the work for Huangzhuang;
The master or the family was convicted and sold here as a slave is another kind;
Except for the first type and the second type, the remaining two types of people are oppressed and exploited.

Those who are slaves and handmaids even have their lives in the hands of others. If you meet an evil Zhuangtou, you can imagine how miserable the life will be. Haven’t you seen that in the cold weather of early winter, working hard in Zhuangzi? A living person does not even have a complete piece of clothing on his body.

From the time he entered the boundary of Huangzhuang, Yu Su looked out through the car window. On the dark land, only the stubble after the autumn grain harvest was left, and occasionally in some fields with green, you can often see the hunched waist The busy farmer.

Although there were people, it somehow made people feel depressed. Even though there wasn't a single piece of land on the side of the road that was vacant, Yu Su just didn't feel good.

"Little brother, do you think this Zhuangzi is strange?"

"Well, kind of."

Song Xinglin nodded, but Song Xiahe beside Yu Su was puzzled, "Second brother, second sister-in-law, what's so strange, why didn't I see it? It's obviously normal."

Monk Zhang Er who was facing Song Xiahe was puzzled, but Wang Shuisheng next to her stretched out his hand and pinched her, signaling her to pay attention to the things planted in the field outside, as well as the expressions and clothes of the people busy in the field.

Poor Song Xiahe, who was also suffering from hard times, looked at it for a long time but still didn't notice anything wrong, and looked at her fiancé foolishly for help.

Seeing this, Wang Shuisheng sighed and didn't explain anymore, he just patted his fiancée's hand comfortingly, and looked at Song Xinglin instead.

"Second brother, second sister-in-law, what should I do now? Should I go directly to Zhuangtou?"

Song Xinglin thought for a while and replied: "There is no rush to find the head of the village. Since we want to take back this village and manage it properly, we can't act rashly. Let's see if we can find someone to inquire about the situation later."

"I think it will work. This is a good idea." All things should be fought unprepared, and Yu Su agreed with the young man's opinion very much.

Song Xinglin signaled the coachman outside to slow down the carriage, and the coachman responded, and began to drive the carriage slowly forward. Just at this moment, the horse's tail swung rapidly, because it was still running slowly and did not stop completely. However, not all the horse manure fell into the sack basket that the coachman tete tied behind the horse's buttocks, and a lot of it was spilled, and the coachman was still in pain for a long time.

That is to say, the horse manure that was thrown out immediately attracted a group of children picking up manure with baskets on their backs and sticks.

Babies of different sizes rushed forward.

"My mine, this is what I saw first!"

"Tch, your pheasant's name is not written on this dung ball, so why should it belong to you? Hmph, if you have the ability, you can call out to see if this dung ball should be you."

"Ah, you bastard, you bastard, I was the one who saw it first!"

"Hey, pheasant, don't you guys stop arguing. They say that you will get half of the meeting. Everyone has seen it. At worst, it will be divided equally."

"Bah! Whoever splits with you equally, the hand is fast, and the hand is slow, don't you understand the basics of this?"

"That's right, yes, I told me, let me pick up a lot of manure and fertilize a lot. When the spring comes, I said that I will rent two acres of land with the master's family. At that time, we will plant soybeans and apply manure. There are plenty of beans, and there are a lot of beans, and after paying the rent, there will be some leftovers, so we can make tofu for the Chinese New Year!"

"Hmph, my mother also asked me to pick up a lot of dung, so that I can grow fat on the field beside the ridge behind my shack, and grow more melons and fruits next year. Except those who are filial to Zhuangtou and the master's house, we will If you keep some of them, you can exchange them for two chicks. When the chicks are big enough to lay eggs, you can not only exchange oil and salt, but also save some money. You can make another pair of pants at home, and then my sisters and sisters can come out together Pick up dung!"

"Well, it's mine, mine..."

When there was a sound of looting behind him, Yu Su asked Song Xinglin to stop the carriage.

Didn't they say that they need someone to lead the way to find out the news? The group of children in front of them are very good.

Afraid that Yu Su would be hungry before coming here, Song Xinglin even bought a lot of candies and pastries for preparation, which happened to come in handy right now.

Song Xinglin and Wang Shuisheng each carried a food box, protected their wives and prospective wives to get out of the car and walked back for a while. They didn't dislike the children who were tattered and smelly, but Song Xinglin still Walking closer, they interrupted their argument.

"Hey, kids, I have a few questions for you, whoever answers well will give you something delicious."

The children who were called to stop were no more than ten years old. When they saw Song Xinglin, who was tall and draped all over his body, dressed as a scholar, the children who were very good at observing words and expressions, out of natural respect for scholars, fell silent collectively.

It was the boy named Tugouzi who was the biggest among them, seeing Song Xinglin's gentle attitude and not bullying others, he dared to return tentatively.

"What does this grandpa want to ask?"

Song Xinglin had a gentle attitude, "Don't worry, it's not an embarrassing question. We just want to ask about the Zhuangzi, such as the harvest this autumn, who is the head of your Zhuangzi, where you live, etc."

"Oh, so that's the case." Tu Gouzi nodded, thinking that there was nothing he couldn't say.

"Is the Lord going to do business with our Zhuangtou? Or come to play in our Zhuangzi?"

These two types of people themselves often see them appearing on Zhuangzi, and looking at the young scholar in front of him, I am afraid that he is also here to play in their Zhuangzi, after all, he is bringing his family with him.

Song Xinglin was noncommittal. Before Nongke came, he and Yuyu also heard about Zhuangzi from his uncle.

At the beginning, grandparents and uncles didn't care about this Zhuangzi. After Zhuangzi got it, they didn't have the energy to take over the management. They only knew a little bit of information about it. If you go to investigate carefully, you will never know that the Zhuangtou who controls the Zhuangzi here is also the nephew of the former King Rong.

Knowing the details of the other party, the companion went underground with his master. Eunuch Su waved his hand and told his niece and niece and son-in-law to just go about their business, and he will take care of everything.

Right now they still have to ask in detail, but they just want to know what they know so that they can settle the matter when they meet with the person.

Therefore, when Tu Gouzi asked, Song Xinglin also nodded kindly.

"Ah, you guessed right, we just came here for fun. I heard that the grain you grow in Zhuangzi is good, and the grain price in Kyoto is expensive. I want to buy some by the way. Of course, if it is possible, if you have mountain products and local products in your family, If the price is right and the goods are good, we will also buy them together.”

As soon as this remark came out, the eyes of all the children present lit up.

There is that bold child, probably because the family really has some local products. Looking at Song Xinglin and the four of them now is like watching the God of Wealth. They are very active in crowding out the crowd, looking at Song Xinglin timidly and boldly asking.

"Then master scholar, what do you want to ask? You ask me. Our family is an old man in this village. I have been running in the village since I was a child. I know everything about this place. Master, you can ask me. .”

At that time, if he answered well, he would ask the master to buy his own mountain products. When this fall, he led his sisters to secretly pick up a lot of hickory nuts in the mountains. That is a good thing, yeah, walnuts Make up the brain, presumably the scholar master will like it.

"I, I, sir, sir, if you ask me, I know it, I know it too."

"And me, and me!"

Seeing the opening of the situation, Song Xinglin smiled, turned his head and nodded to the three people behind him, and the three hurried forward.

Song Xinglin reassured the children, "Okay, okay, don't worry, everyone has one, as long as you answer my questions well, then I will give you delicious food, and I will also buy your mountain products. Everyone is quiet now."

The little guys were silent for an instant.

Song Xinglin signaled Wang Shuisheng to open the food box, revealing the exquisite pastries and candies inside. Hearing the sound of the little guys swallowing their saliva, Song Xinglin continued to speak.

"Then who, come out and tell me now, where does the boundary of your Zhuangzi start and where does it go, what crops does Zhuangzi plant every year, and what does it produce? If you say that Zhuangzi often comes to buy things and play, then When they buy something, they ask who bought it? How much did they buy? Who did they trade with? How much is the price? They have to spend money when people come to Zhuangzi to play, and who gave the money to? Do you all know these things? "

"I know, I know, my lord, I know! Our Zhuangzi produces wheat, jicama, millet..."

After all, Tugouzi is old and smart. He basically knows what Song Xinglin asked, except that the money in the transaction is not something that a child of a tenant family like him can touch. Everything else he knows, the little guy knows. Bald came out.

Song Xinglin and Yu Su listened quietly, and the accounts were carefully calculated in the hearts of the four of them, especially Yu Su and the two Juren masters. Through these accounts, they understood that they had a good understanding of the production of this village. The income is basically understood.

And what Er Gouzi couldn't say or missed, the children saw that Er Gouzi really got the delicious pastries rewarded, and they would chirp to add them one after another, for fear that they would lose their own part, and they couldn't be active.

In the end, the pastries and candies in the two food boxes were all gone, and Yu Su and the others had roughly figured out the situation here, and they were going to go directly to the village head to take over Zhuangzi and settle the matter.

"Okay, I understand the situation clearly. Your name is Er Gouzi, right? Are you free now? If you are free, you can take me to see your Zhuangtou."

"Me?" Er Gouzi pointed to his nose in joy and surprise, "Going to see Zhuangtou?",
