Shi Jun had already introduced them: "This is my wife, your master's wife, her surname is He."
He also introduced to his wife: "My disciple will live at home from now on."
The three of them hurriedly saluted.
Mrs. He was a little surprised: "You actually accepted a disciple again?"
Then he said kindly: "Good boy, you don't have to be polite, just like you are at home."
Shi Yun took off the hat on his head and went to the main room to drink tea.
Mrs. He took the three brothers and sisters to settle in: "Your teacher still has a few disciples living in the front yard. Dalang can live with them, Liniang and Yuanniang, my girls have been married long ago. , the house is vacant, you might as well live there, and the sisters can be companions."
Jiang Liniang hurriedly said: "Why are you so embarrassed? Just arrange a guest room for us sisters."
How can I live in someone else’s daughter’s room, even if my daughter gets married?
Mrs. He smiled softly: "It's okay. This is the first time I've seen him accept a female disciple. It shows that he values you two very much."
He also said: "That courtyard has always been vacant. My daughter has several children and grandchildren. Even if she goes home, she won't live there. There is no room for it."
Only then did the Jiang sisters obey.
Mrs. He personally led them there and sent four maids to serve: "If there are people who don't understand the things in the house, ask them what they want to eat and use, and just ask them to go." If you encounter something you don’t understand, just ask them to come to me..."
The two sisters were horrified when they heard this, and said repeatedly: "You are too polite. With our status, how dare we call slaves and maids?"
Mrs. He smiled and said: "Since you call me Master, just listen to my instructions."
He also said: "You guys should repair here for a while first, and ask them to lead you to the front hall for dinner when you are in the corner. Then I can introduce you to the senior brothers."
Jiang Liniang and Yuan Niang respectfully accepted the order.
Mrs. He smiled at them and left.
Mother Zhang, who was following her, asked in a low voice: "Would you like to help the two young ladies buy some clothes? My cousin has made a lot of clothes before, and she is not wearing any upper body. If you cut them down a little, they are still useful."
Mrs. He said: "It's just simple clothes. Is there anything rude about it? If they were given silk clothes as soon as they arrived at the house, it would be really rude and disrespectful."
Zhang’s mother nodded after hearing this: “Madam, you’ve thought about it very much.”
When the appointed time came, the maids took the Jiang sisters to the front hall to have dinner and set up the lily of the valley table. Shi Jun and his wife sat at the top, flanked by Shi Jun's disciples.
Shi Jun introduced the Jiang brothers and sisters one by one: "This is your senior brother Shen Kuo Shen, this is senior brother Zheng Gui Zheng, this is senior brother Sun Sanqiao Sun, senior brother Mu Xueyu Mu..."
As Shi Jun said, he has indeed not accepted a disciple for many years, and the few disciples here are all middle-aged.
The Jiang brothers and sisters were busy greeting each other.
The senior fellow apprentices were polite and affectionate, and no one showed any signs of irritation because of the Jiang family's clothing and origin. Jiang Liniang was secretly relieved.
She was really worried about coming to a completely unfamiliar environment and facing rejection from her peers.
I also thought of what Shi Jun said before - those who feel that fellow juniors and juniors are shamefully dressed in shabby clothes are not worthy of being accepted as my disciples.
At that time, she was dubious, but now that she has seen it, she is convinced.
Jiang Liniang thought that Shi Yun would look proud of this, so she subconsciously looked at Shi Yun, but saw that the teacher's expression remained unchanged, and he was talking to Mrs. He, without even noticing.
He truly believed that no one among his disciples would feel contempt for his junior brothers and sisters because of their clothes, and he did not feel the need to be proud of it.
Jiang Liniang suddenly had some thoughts in her heart. Perhaps, this is the true demeanor of a celebrity!
…
The fact that Shi Yun, a famous domestic scholar, went to Xibao Village to give lectures instantly caused a sensation in the surrounding villages. That night, I don’t know how many people had dinner based on this gossip. Before going to bed, they were still muttering: "Why is this good thing called Jiang?" My family met..."
Some people said to their mother-in-law: "Why did you accept a female disciple?"
"What's wrong with the female disciples," said his mother-in-law, "Emperor Gaozu of this dynasty even made women marquises. Why, then, Mr. Shi can't accept female disciples?"
"Hey, I just said casually, I have nothing to do with Mr. Shi's affairs!"
Then looking in the direction of the Jin family, the sarcasm on his face became stronger: "We can still talk and laugh tonight, but the two of you over there, I'm afraid we can't stay together until tomorrow night." It’s not eye-catching!”
His mother-in-law snorted disdainfully from her nose: "You deserve it, this is the retribution for the two of you! Just tear down the bridge after crossing the river, what the hell!"
When the Jin family broke off their engagement, many people in Xibao Village became angry. They were just afraid that Jin Yu would gain the honor of being a civil servant, so they dared to get angry but did not dare to speak out. Now that they see people being unlucky, the contempt and disdain that they had previously suppressed finally finally I can express it openly and openly.
His mother-in-law also smiled: "Just wait, his fourth aunt will definitely go to Mantun's house tomorrow! Previously, the Jin family broke off their engagement, and everyone in the village was alienated from them, so she was the only one who was rushing to show off to others. What was the result? She became the Master of Juren, and no one cared about her. She was kicked out without even seeing her. I was so ashamed when I heard that she even said with a shy face, "It's not good that the Master of Juren wants to study behind closed doors." Excuse me, haha, I really want to know what she will say tomorrow!"
The couple laughed and fell asleep, and the lights in each house in the village gradually turned out. The boiling noises during the day disappeared, and occasionally a few dogs barked in the distance...
Only the mother and son of the Jin family shed tears at each other and were speechless.
Zou's eyes were as red and swollen as rotten peaches. She had cried too much and for too long, and could no longer shed tears. She just sat in front of the lamp, as if she had lost her soul.
Jin Yu is not much better.
In just half a day, the high-spirited demeanor of the past had completely left him, replaced by decadence and despair.
It's over.
All is lost.
His reputation as a candidate was gone, and he was personally criticized by Shi Jun as an unfilial and unjust person. He would never think of becoming an official again in his life.
When the academy learns the news tomorrow, I'm afraid that he will be expelled from the school immediately.
If he can't take the exam for meritorious service or become an official, what should he do?
Are you like those villagers who don't know how to read and work in the fields, digging for food?
No!
How could he, who was so wealthy and dignified, be reduced to such a situation? !
And Xibao Village...
He was not a fool after all. He knew that he had deeply offended the Jiang family when he broke off his engagement to a girl named Jiang in Xibao Village. But at that time, he had the reputation to rely on, so naturally he was not afraid, but now——
Without his fame and status, there are many ways to control him!
Jin Yu thought of this, and the uneasiness in his heart surged like a wave. He glanced at his mother who was like a puppet next to him, and said in a trembling voice: "Mom, let's move away..."
Zou turned her head numbly, her eyes were blank, and her tone was like a gossamer: "Where can we move to? Does it cost no money to move?"
Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. When Jinyu won the title of Juren, many people took the initiative to come to the door to give gifts. Today, there are many people who come to the door to be guests. The words are simple: "The money I borrowed before, if you have money, please pay it back as soon as possible. superior?"
Of course Jin Yu didn't want to give it back. How could he spit out the fat that went into his mouth?
But someone who can give money casually to invest is certainly not a country farmer, at least he is a local snake. When Jin Yu loses his fame, they have a thousand ways to make him spit out what he has eaten!
If you come back as soon as possible, this matter will be over. If you want to play tricks with them, they are more cruel than you!
The orphans and widowers of the Jin family, who were at odds with the people of Xibao Village, naturally did not dare to hesitate and honestly vomited out what they had eaten, seeing their newly wealthy family about to go bankrupt...
As for moving, where can I move?
Their names are all in Xibao Village. If they want to leave, they have to pass through Li Zheng - but where is Li Zheng so easy to let go?
As for my hometown...
If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't survive in their hometown, who would want to leave their hometown!
Back then, Jin Yu's father was seriously ill, and the medical treatment cost him all his family's money. No one could save him. What would he do if he was left with orphans and widows in the future?
The Jin family came up with a harmful solution - asking Jin's father to borrow money.
Relatives and friends, old friends from the same village, there is no such thing as writing an IOU, especially Jin’s father is still a scholar, who would have thought that he would default on the debt?
Not long after Jin's father died, the person he lent money to was dumbfounded. When he came to the door and saw that the house was completely empty, only the mother and son were left crying like tears. How could they open their mouths to ask for money?
Forget it, consider yourself unlucky!
It's just that there is no airtight wall in the world, just one or two. Jin's father has borrowed so many people, and there are many creditors who are familiar with each other. When they get together to drink, they talk about it. Have you come back to your senses?
The only people who can be deceived by Jin's father are those who trust him. If this happens, the reputation of the Jin family will be completely ruined. When the Zou mother and son went to visit Jin's father's grave, they found that someone used Jin's father's grave as a public toilet. used……
Mrs. Zou was angry and annoyed, knowing that she had offended someone to death. Even if she returned the money, she would not get any good results, so she simply endured it shamelessly and went to Li Zheng to cry and make trouble. After hanging himself three times, he obtained the names of mother and son, went away to another place, and settled their household registration here in Xibao Village.
They have been gone for more than ten years. Surely all their creditors are not dead. Why would they move back in such a dejected manner?
Even spittle can drown them!
Go, there is nowhere to go;
If you stay, the wind and rain will come.
Jin Yu, mother and son, were in a dilemma and had no sleep all night.
He sat like this all night, and on the next day, someone came to call Jin Yu. He said firmly: "I'm here to talk to you!" and left.
Jin Yu went there anxiously, and saw Li Zheng sitting on a chair smoking a cigarette in a friendly manner. When he saw him, he smiled: "Xiao Jin is here?"
Now he is no longer called the Master of Juren.
Jin Yu's face twitched, but he didn't dare to show off. He lowered his head and called out politely: "Mr. Zhang."
Zhang Lizheng said: "Xiao Jin, it's not that I'm embarrassing you, it's just that you no longer have the honor of being a civil servant, and your name is in Xibao Village. According to the regulations, each family can select a male to serve, and you are the only one in your family. What do you think we should do?"
Jin Yu couldn't help but clenched his fists in his sleeves.
service……
In the past, the Jiang family took care of such trivial matters for him, either by paying for the redemption, or by the Jiang family and his son doing it for him. He couldn't lift his hands or shoulders, so how could he do any rough work?
If we really go there, we will lose our lives there!
Jin Yu lowered his head and said nothing.
Li Zheng didn't expect him to say anything, so he thought to himself: "Then I'll report you. Go back and ask your mother to help prepare some dry food. Let's set off in a few days."
Jin Yu didn't know how he left the Li Zheng family.
I only know that after regaining consciousness, I heard someone talking: "I heard that the three brothers and sisters of the Jiang family have left with Mr. Shi?"
"Yes, what a blessing!"
"That's Mr. Shi!"
Are the three Jiang brothers and sisters all accepted as disciples by Mr. Shi?
Even that stupid and useless Jiang Ning became a disciple of Lord Shi?
Why? !
