When Xu He returned to his small courtyard, the first thing he did was to talk to the old director about buying a courtyard in the city.
Hearing this, Chief Jia said: "Xiaohe, you will definitely study and become an official in the future. It is not impossible to move to the city. Even at the Social Studies Department, you have to get up early every day!"
But he suddenly said in the next second: "But you will take the imperial examination soon. I heard that if you become a child student, you don't have to go to social studies as early as Meng Tong!"
Hearing this, Xu He couldn't help but think of Mr. Zhou's threat just now.
"The government examination, let alone the government examination now, if you are not careful, your life will be at risk!" Xu He thought to himself.
After Prefect Zhou learned about this from his son, he would definitely take action. To put it another way, even if Prefect Zhou did not dare to act rashly, he was the chief examiner of the Prefectural Examination. How could he let himself pass the Prefectural Examination safely?
Do you really think that the prefect who dares to collude with bandits is a vegetarian?
Thinking of this, Xu He said to the elder, "Uncle Jia, when the next time the sugar is shipped, we will go to the city to buy two adjacent courtyards. The courtyards don't need to be big, as long as we can study quietly!"
"Should we buy it too?" Lao Jia was a little surprised when he heard this. "There are still fields to look after in the village. It's too inconvenient to live in the city!"
Xu He knew his concerns, but to be honest, the money earned from sugar was enough for the two of them to live on. Old Chief A didn't have to work in the fields like before. Instead of relying on the weather to harvest the three melons and two dates, he could It's better to come to the city and concentrate on running the sugar business.
Moreover, in the future, if Mr. A has money, he can find a daughter of a down-and-out scholar in the city to marry Xu Peng. Maybe Xu Peng's son can also go to school. This is called genetic optimization!
When Xu He told these reasons to Lao Jia, Lao Jia thought Xu He was fanciful at first, but finally heard that his son could marry a woman from a scholar's family, and his grandson could be educated by his mother to study since he was a child... …
Think about Xu He again. His family was originally very poor, but since he won the county examination, he has been dealing with big shots like the county magistrate, and he has also found a way to make a fortune in books.
"It's good to study!" The old man was moved. After a while, he slapped his thigh and said: "Okay, for the sake of Xu Peng, the old man, I will do this now."
Xu He saw that he agreed, so he warned: "Uncle Jia, take Brother Peng with you when you go out. Pay attention to safety on the road. If you find someone watching you, go in the direction with more people. Don't rush to the house. Go out and buy more fruits." Vegetarian vegetables, rice and noodles, it’s been a bit dangerous outside recently!”
The old man was shocked when he heard this.
Xu He nodded towards him, Lao Jia had a clear understanding, nodded and greeted his son to go out.
Just after sending Old Jia Chang and his son away, Xu He was thinking about going out to find Xie Liangcai to discuss countermeasures, but he didn't expect this guy to come in three steps.
As soon as he entered the door, Xu He smelled a strong smell of powder. Xu He frowned and said, "Where did you go after you separated from me last night?"
Xie Liangcai's face turned red and he said, "I went to drink and compose poems on the boat with some friends from Hailing County!"
Damn it, how long has it been and this slut is still so cool?
"Brother, people say that color is emptiness, and emptiness is color. Why do you do it when you have time?" Xu He complained.
When Xie Liangcai heard this, he jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "Xiaohe, we are just discussing articles and poems. Please don't accuse me. Although I never curse people, I am familiar with it. If you frame me, I will do the same." That’s his mother’s fault!”
Xu He rolled his eyes at him, not wanting to listen to his nonsense, so he pulled him into his bedroom, sat down, and told him about Mr. Zhou's visit just now.
I thought that Xie Liangcai would be worried about Zhou Futai's deadly attack, and he would have to discuss countermeasures with himself no matter what happened.
Who would have known that Mr. Xie, who never cursed, immediately broke his guard when he heard this and cursed loudly: "Xu Luan... is the Xu Luan who was sitting next to me at your house that day, my mother-in-law! It's disgusting, my hair is standing on end." Woke up!"
Brother, shouldn’t you be concerned about the lives of our two brothers now?
Xu Luan and so on, are there no priorities?
Xu He couldn't laugh or cry in his heart.
Fortunately, this guy finally got tired after scolding him for a long time, and then he remembered the important point: "Xiaohe, something is wrong. We went to the academy at the invitation of Kong Yiyuan. It was impossible for Kong Yiyuan to reveal this news to the Zhou family. Bar?"
Xu He said in a deep voice: "That's what I want to say. The other party has probably sent an eyeliner to keep an eye on Kong Yiyuan. Maybe the whereabouts of the two of us are also being watched now!"
Xie Liangcai was shocked: "Then what I did with Madam Huixiang last night was not seen by others?"
"..." Xu He complained helplessly.
He finally found out now that when he first met Xie Liangcai, he acted seriously, probably just to show off in front of his clan brother Xie Fuzi.
In fact, secretly, this guy has a completely funny physique, and he is also very nervous.
Seeing that Xu He's eyes were about to turn white, Xie Liangcai finally said seriously: "Zhou Yi said that Po Datian is just a prefect. Tomorrow you and your aunt will go to Yiling with me to stay temporarily. I don't believe Zhou Yi." How dare you do anything to our Yiling Xie family!"
Xu He sighed. He originally didn't want to tell Xie Liangcai his speculation about Zhou Yi and Ge Youli's collusion with bandits. Now, he was afraid that Xie Liangcai didn't know the seriousness of the matter, so he could only tell him, Li Zhijie, and Xie Liangcai exactly as they were. Kun's guess came out.
After Xie Liangcai finished listening, he was so frightened that he stayed in place and remained motionless for a long time.
"So, if this matter is as I guessed, the other party will definitely kill us if they see the opportunity!" Xu He looked solemn.
Xie Liangcai, who became serious, immediately revealed the political sensitivity of an official's son: "Kong Yiyuan should have been aware of it that day, but there was no evidence. For the current plan, the best way to break the situation is to borrow the power of the Salt Patrol Censor! "
"No, it should be borrowing the power of the second assistant Xia Yangqiu!" Xu He added.
Xie Liangcai nodded with deep understanding, and then he regretted: "Originally, you could stay out of the matter, but it's all my fault. I had to drag you to see Kong Yiyuan yesterday, but now you are in danger!"
Xu He shook his head. He knew that Xie Liang had good intentions and wanted to introduce his family's connections to him. All of this was for his own good. Yesterday was just an unintentional mistake.
"Xiaohe, actually..." Xie Liangcai was hesitant when he spoke, not sure whether he should speak, but in the end he still advised: "Actually, there is another way, we can still stay out of the matter!"
Xu He said: "Are you trying to persuade me to find my uncle Song or my teacher Li Zhixian?"
Xie Liangcai nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Xiao Shigong and the first assistant Qin Yan are Jinshi in the same field, and I heard that they have always had a good relationship; and your teacher, Li Zhijie's test teacher is also Qin Yan, as long as the two of them come forward and make their stance clear , then the Zhou family should not attack you again!"
In fact, no need to say Xie Liangcai, Xu He had already thought of this, but when he thought of Mr. Zhou's arrogant and domineering contempt at the table, he felt unhappy.
The most important thing is, when I think of the innocent souls outside Dong'anji and Hailing City, and of the academy boy who opened the door for them last night, why do you, Mr. Zhou? Why?
Just because your father and son can cover the sky in Yangzhou with just one hand?
Just because the backer behind you is the chief minister or the king of Qi?
The gold and white jade buy songs and laugh, and the prince is young for a long time after being drunk. The worst thing is that I, Xu He, don’t study or take the imperial examination, so why are you so awesome?
Destroy my future and kill me?
Do you really think that I, Xu He, don’t want cards?
