Chapter 206
A few days later, Geng Shuhuai packed his bags and went to Ning Duwei's camp outside the city.

"Second brother, I asked around and found out that the Wan family siblings no longer live in the inn. They live in a second-entry house in Guixiang Hutong."

The people living in Guixiang Hutong are all small and wealthy families. Although the second house is not big, it still requires a lot of money in Ningdu City. According to what Geng Shuhuai said before about the situation of Qiying Village where the Wan family brothers and sisters live. Since the death of the old village leader, Qiying Village has not only stopped doing "business", but has also been robbed by its peers. Therefore, they are not well-off and can be said to be very poor.

So they shouldn't be able to afford a house with two doors in Guixiang Hutong.

So where did that house come from?

Geng Xingshuang's first reaction was the steward Wu who was with the Wan family siblings on the day when the martial arts exam started.

Geng Shuhuai doesn’t know about this yet.

Geng Shuhuai glanced at his sister who was hesitant to speak, and asked: "Guixiang Hutong, Liangjin House, is there any more?"

Geng Xingshuang nodded, "Yes, on the day of the martial arts competition, Miss Wan and Mr. Wan were accompanied by two people, one was a middle-aged man and the other was a young girl. I heard Mr. Wan call the middle-aged man Wu Guanjia, and then he I asked Zhujian to find out. Butler Wu was the steward of the second room of Dingguo Palace. He was ordered by Wu Qiyao, the third son of Dingguo Palace, to serve the Wan family siblings. The young girl was Wu San. Sent by the young master to serve Miss Wan."

When Geng Xingshuang said this, she glanced at her second brother.

Geng Shuhuai didn't seem very surprised after hearing this. He nodded, "Okay, I understand."

Geng Xingshuang was a little worried, "Second brother, I heard that Young Master Wan has also been admitted to the martial arts examination. He should also go to the camp outside the city. You... don't be impulsive."

Geng Shuhuai stretched out his big hand and patted Geng Xingshuang's head, "Little housekeeper, don't worry, I won't be stupid. Wan Xiao... is an old friend. As for Miss Wan, she is just my old friend's sister."

Geng Xingshuang felt slightly relieved when he heard what he said.

Not long after Geng Shuhuai went to the camp outside the city, the new Jinshi in Shengning's 15th year began to be awarded in an orderly manner.

Of course, starting from the top three.

According to the original theory, those who entered the Hanlin Academy in the first three grades of the First Class were awarded the No. [-] Scholar in the Sixth Rank, and the No. [-] Scholar in the Seventh Rank were assigned to the Editor. They took turns going to the Imperial Palace with the Imperial Academy's Attendants to lecture on scriptures and history for the emperor, and to lecture to the princes. The book taught students, but when the official documents came down, things changed a little.

The number one scholar has not changed, it is still compiled by the Hanlin Academy from the sixth rank, and the third flower has not changed. It is the editor of the seventh rank Hanlin Academy. However, the number two who was supposed to be awarded the same position at the same time as the third flower was released, and another The position of editor of the Hanlin Academy was given to Chuanlu Jianchao.

"Did Mr. Jian Ge do this?"

Geng Xingshuang asked curiously.

Yang Qingmo said: "The Yan family is somewhat related to the Jian family. When Yan Hao was in Ningdu to take the exam, he stayed in Jian's house. Moreover, Yan Hao's father was the head of a certain county in the south. He promoted people to serve as officials. I heard that he was The Jian family helped make up the difference.

In this case, there is no need for Jian Ge to speak out. As long as other members of the Jian family give some hints, or someone writes a letter to Master Yan, Yan Hao will take the initiative to give up his place in the Hanlin Academy and only say that he wants to study abroad as soon as possible. Let go, do some practical things, get more experience, the officials will not get stuck in this kind of thing. "

Geng Xingshuang continued: "There is no need to name names. According to the principle of postponement, there is still one quota for editor of the Hanlin Academy, and it will naturally fall to No. 4 Jian Chao."

"Smart!" Yang Qingmo praised.

Geng Shuhuai went to the camp outside the city and could not go home for three months. Yang Qingmo's appointment documents also came down and he began to be on duty at the Hanlin Academy. The two people who returned from Pingcheng gradually developed their own trajectories.

I don’t know what Yang Shaojing and his wife did. After Yang Shaojing returned to Ningdu and before he was promoted, the Yang family quietly separated.

Not only the second bedroom of the Yang family was divided, the third bedroom of the Yang family was also divided, and the old house was given to the eldest house. Mrs. Yang lived with the eldest house in the Yang family's old house. The second and third bedrooms came to greet her every New Year's Eve.

When everyone in the uncle's house heard about this, the Yang family had already been divided.

Geng Xingshuang specifically asked Yang Qingmo about this. "They were going to come to your door to apologize, but I stopped them."

"You're right to stop me. I don't want to see them. I don't want to pretend that everything is over. It doesn't matter. After all, I almost fell into the water. It's not an exaggeration to say that I almost lost my life. But if I hold on to this If you don't let go of the matter, others will think that I am being unreasonable, so it's better not to come. Anyway, since you have separated, the number of times we will meet in the future is limited, so it's best for everyone to just treat each other as strangers."

Geng Xingshuang said it very straightforwardly. When he said this, he kept looking at Yang Qingmo.

Yang Qingmo smiled and said, "Well, we are on the same page. That's what I think, so I won't let them come. But since they dare to harm others, they have to pay the price."

"Huh? What price? Separation?"

"What's the price for breaking up the family? Lose money." Yang Qingmo said, taking a small box from Dewang.

"Here is part of the price." He handed the box to Geng Xingshuang.

Geng Xingshuang took the box with some curiosity, opened it, and found a stack of banknotes inside.

She counted, "1000 taels?"

Yang Qingmo nodded, "Not much."

Geng Xingshuang shook his head, "I'm not dissatisfied, I'm just curious about how Uncle Yang and Aunt Fengwei got this amount of money from Mr. Yang San and Mrs. Yang San."

"My father didn't play any role in this matter. When we wanted to separate our family, he just told the public that he seemed to have offended a big shot in Peng County, so he was robbed and killed on the way back. Your Majesty The first time he returned to Ningdu City, he was summoned to ask him what he had done in Peng County. As for whether he could retain his official position or whether he would be questioned, it was not yet known whether he would be charged. It will bring trouble to the family.”

Yang Shaojing's words were ambiguous and left room for leeway. In fact, he was giving the first and third bedrooms a chance.

However, the eldest and third bedrooms of the Yang family thought that the second bedroom was leaving room for themselves. They were worried that once the imperial edict came down, the second bedroom would be criticized by the eldest and third bedroom for not explaining it in advance, so they were so vague now. He spoke.

"So this is how the family is divided?" Geng Xingshuang stroked her hands, "Uncle Yang is very wise."

"Your compliment..."

"what happened?"

Geng Xingshuang glared at him, as if he would make her angry if he dared to say something bad.

"Very formal." Yang Qingmo said three words slowly.

Geng Xingshuang laughed out loud and raised his chin, "Of course, Uncle Yang is an elder, so he must be formal."

Then he asked: "Then where did these apology come from? Isn't it the family property you all received?"

If this was the case, Geng Xingshuang felt that the 1000 taels of silver would be too hot to handle.

Yang Qingmo shook his head, "Of course not. It was indeed the apology offered by the third room on its own initiative."

Then, Yang Qingmo talked about why Sanfang took the initiative to take out the 1000 taels of silver.

Geng Xingshuang slowly opened his eyes after hearing this.
