The incident of leaking questions from the imperial examination caused a stir, and the emperor ordered a strict investigation by the ministers of Dali Temple. The students who were attending the Spring Festival in the imperial city were all in danger, and saw those around them being arrested and thrown into prison.
In late February, news came one after another. The atmosphere in the academy was gloomy and students were not interested in studying. After discussing with several gentlemen, Shi Chongshan asked everyone to go home and wait until March to come back to class.
Therefore, Li Lin, who had originally agreed to go to Shiqiao Academy to teach, also had some free time. After having the book sent back, he read it with Su Wan. With nothing to do, the couple leaned together, each holding a book. Read this book.
However, the books they read were quite different.
Li Lin was reading books he had collected from various places. They covered everything from farming and planting to astronomy and geography. Many of the books even required bits and pieces of interpretation. They were simply boring and tedious. If he had read them to her, she would not be able to read a single page. .
However, the book she was shown was different.
Most of what she read was like reading a story. For example, this family history tells the chronicles of the descendants of the Li family through generations, what are their names, where have they been, what have they done, and what friends have they had? Even if I got something, where is it now?
I heard from Li Lin that these were written down by the ancestors of the Li family themselves.
There are also hundreds of families, which talk about the rise and fall of the families in Li City, as well as the clans who are loyal to Li City but in various countries. Their rise and fall, and where they will eventually go.
In addition, there are internal disputes among the countries, the change of dynasties, and the rise and fall of powerful clans and families in each country, as well as the distribution of power.
And so on and so forth.
It's like reading a story, but also like lifting the mask on the face and seeing the secrets hidden underneath. In it, the grudges and battles of right and wrong are staged one after another. It is simply a drama of power struggles between families.
After watching it, she didn't feel bored, but found it interesting. Maybe after watching it a few times, she would be able to know which one it was when talking about a certain family in a certain country, how many things had happened in it, and what had happened. What a famous person.
Having this information is like knowing everything about the world.
She also saw the Yue family of Zhenguo Duke's mansion and the Su family of Jinning Duke's mansion.
Zhenguo Gongfu has been around for a long time. It began to rise from the previous dynasty of Dong Zhao, and it occupies a fairly large space among the clans and families.
Most of the Yue family can be regarded as heroes, and there are few treacherous people. In the previous dynasty, they were very powerful, but later, they were destroyed. Only the Duke of Zhen and the old mother were left in the family. The mother and son fled. for many years.
Later, when he grew up, he united his old troops and the Zhao family to destroy the previous dynasty. After that, he became the Duke of Eastern Zhao.
In the Su family of Jinning Palace, except for her grandfather Su Zangshan and her grandmother who came out of the mountains and became a duke's family from a village girl in the mountains, the remaining descendants are Nothing to show your face.
"lady!"
Su Wan was indulging in the story when Xiao Sang hurried in from the door and shouted. She came back to her senses from the book and then heard the commotion outside.
"Why is there such a fuss outside?"
"Someone is coming from Nanshan Village."
"Nanshan Village?" Su Wan thought for a moment and then remembered that it was a village not far away, the village where Shi Huiqin married. She frowned slightly, "What are the people from Nanshan Village doing here?"
"Mr. Li came here with people from Nanshan Village and said she wanted to take the young master of the Li family away. She also said that the young master of the Li family is a bloodline of the Li family and cannot be left outside."
"Oh? When we reconciled, didn't we agree that Ah Fu would follow Shi Huiqin?"
Xiao Sang said: "This used to be like this, but now hasn't Miss Shi's ex-husband been arrested? I heard about the imperial examination, so he got involved in it, and I don't know when he will be released. Woolen cloth."
"If he were left in there, the young master of the Li family would be the only one left in the Li family."
Su Wan also understood after hearing this. She was afraid that Mrs. Li thought that Li Lan's life was difficult to save, and even if he could save it, he didn't know when he would be able to come out, so she wanted to take Li Fu away.
Listening to the noise outside, I think a lot of people must have come here to rob people.
Coincidentally, many men in the village have gone into the mountains today, and Li Lin has also gone with Yu Yu. Now in Shiqiao Village, there are many women and children, and there are not many men here.
Su Wan had a bad look on his face: "Let Hui Feng lead people to stop them, don't let them take them away."
As she said that, she closed the book and planned to go over and take a look: "Xiao Pei, bring me some clothes."
At this moment, Xiao Pei was still in the east chamber embroidering the wedding dress with Madam Zhang.
Xiao Sang's face changed when he heard this: "Madam, please don't go there. The people who came here today are all those barbaric villagers, and they are said to be carrying hoes, picks, and poles. There might be a commotion soon. If madam is hurt, then... ..."
"It's okay." Su Wan shook his head, "There are people protecting me. No one can hurt me. It would be bad if they make a fuss and hurt people in the village. I have to go and see."
"By the way, has the Avona child gone into the mountains today?"
"No, it should be at home."
"Then let him hide himself."
Xiao Pei hurried out from the east chamber and was busy choosing clothes for Su Wan. Su Wan stood aside and watched her search: "Choose clothes that are more noble. I need to be more imposing later, so as to intimidate these people."
"yes."
Xiaobao quickly picked out a dress for Su Wan, a purple and noble dress. This dress was from a long time ago. Su Wan disliked the old-fashioned dress and only wore it once. Now that she took it out, it was actually very good. .
After changing his clothes and tying his hair, Su Wan led the people out of Jingping Garden and walked towards the small courtyard where Shi Huiqin, mother and son lived.
At this moment, there was already a commotion in front of the courtyard.
I don’t know what method Mrs. Li used, but she called many men and women from Nanshan Village to come over. At this moment, some people were holding hoes and pickaxes, and some were holding poles, as if they would get up and rob people if they couldn’t reach an agreement.
Shiqiao Village also got news. The gate of the small courtyard was now closed. Several women learned about this and stopped at the door to scold these people. However, the other party was obviously willing to go out and shameless, and they fell down after a while. Got a lower ride.
"Open the door, open the door quickly, I tell you, no one can stop me from taking away my grandson today."
"You people from the Shi family are so shameless. You want a lot of grandsons from your surnamed Shi, but you are forcing me to keep my grandson from the Li family."
"My poor son, now that he is locked up and does not know whether he will live or die, you still want to snatch my grandson. Isn't this forcing our Li family to cut off their descendants?"
"Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?!"
"Go away quickly and let that bitch Shi Huiqin hand over my grandson! Otherwise, this matter will never end today!"
