After writing a poem to Song Youming a few days ago, he was happy for a while.
Every day when I go to school, it's like taking a shot of chicken blood.
I didn’t go home immediately after school, but stayed here to continue studying.
After all, after spending so much money on a good poem, I must be anxious to show it off.
So Song Youming worked very hard.
I just hope that if I succeed in the next college examination, I will be able to attend the prefect's banquet.
But today, his eyes were black, and he looked listless and worried.
One look revealed what was going on.
After sighing, Song Youming was about to say something.
Huang Xiucai walked in from the outside with his hands behind his back.
After coming in, he was not in a hurry to give lectures as usual. He glanced at Song Youming first and then at Su Yu.
"I heard some things about Song Youming's family yesterday."
"This matter must be resolved properly, otherwise it will affect your reputation."
"The college examination is about to happen, and your reputation will be damaged. This is by no means a trivial matter."
Yesterday, someone made a fuss at Song Youming's house in the town. It was a big deal.
Huang Xiucai asked Song Youming to explain the matter in detail and see if he could help find a solution.
There isn't much time left for the college exam.
If something happened at this time, Song Youming would not be able to participate in the college examination, and it might also damage the reputation of Su Yu and his husband.
Song Youming said with a sad face: "Master, this is what happened."
"My grandfather went back to the countryside a few days ago and gathered with the elders in the village."
"In the end, a relative of an unknown family brought a young girl out and said that she wanted to give it to my grandfather as a concubine."
Huang Xiucai's face turned dark as he listened.
"What nonsense!"
"Your grandfather has neither fame nor official status, so what kind of concubine can he take?"
"And you're quite old, how can you get involved with a girl of that age?"
The laws of this dynasty.
People without fame or official status were not allowed to have concubines.
Most people will act in the name of adoption.
Song Youming also nodded: "After my grandfather learned about that family's intention, of course he rejected it on the spot."
"I was planning to go to the hospital for a test. My family is very careful."
"But I didn't expect that something like this would happen."
"After my grandfather refused, he didn't dare to live in his hometown and went back to the town directly."
"As a result, the family chased the girl out today, spreading rumors that my grandfather had soiled her innocence, and asked my grandfather to accept the girl."
Song Youming's family is considered to have few assets in the town.
Although it cannot be compared with Zhang Wenyuan in the county seat, it is definitely not bad.
After all, he could accept Su Yu's poems and even give him five taels of silver without blinking an eye.
It can be seen that his family conditions are not bad.
Moreover, he took the Tongsheng test for the first time this year, and he passed two tests in a row and became a Tongsheng.
Huang Xiucai even said bluntly that he would most likely pass the college examination.
The Song family was extremely happy.
Therefore, I was even more cautious during this period.
He was afraid that something would happen and it would affect Song Youming's future.
But what he didn't expect was that when Mr. Song went back to his hometown, something like this happened.
If Mr. Song really touched this girl, Song Youming would definitely be doomed.
If a grandfather is disrespectful to his elders, his grandson's reputation as a scholar will be completely ruined.
By then, Tong Shenglang's qualifications may be revoked, let alone take part in the academy examination.
Mr. Song was not stupid, he refused immediately and left immediately.
As a result, the family shamelessly chased him to the town, demanding that he take responsibility, and forcing him to take the girl as a concubine.
If something like this happens, the Song family may lose all face.
Mr. Song was so angry that he cursed at home, but he didn't know what to do.
Song Youming's family was also extremely anxious.
Song Youming was Huang Xiucai's student and the mutual sponsor with Su Yu.
If something happens to him, it will most likely affect Huang Xiucai and Su Yu.
Huang Xiucai could just expel him from the school.
But Su Yu was not so easy to handle.
It is very likely that I will not be able to participate in this year's college examination, and I will have to wait and see what happens later.
After listening to Song Youming's explanation, Huang Xiucai frowned.
Su Yu also showed a thoughtful expression.
"So, that family was instructed by someone to ruin your reputation?"
Su Yu guessed.
Huang Xiucai said nothing, but Song Youming said angrily: "After discussing with my family, I also came to this conclusion."
"If you don't come early, you won't come later. It just happened when I passed the government examination and will take the college examination soon."
"And if that family were really honest farmers, they would definitely not be able to do such a thing."
"I insist that my daughter's innocence has been ruined by my grandfather, and I want to give her to my grandfather as a concubine. This is also ruining my daughter's reputation."
Therefore, it is true that someone wants to prevent them from taking the college examination.
Su Yu remembered that it was just their county.
Adding up those who passed the exam this year and those who passed the exam in previous years, there are hundreds of children registered in each county.
Their county was not the only one to take part in the college examination.
It is estimated that there will be hundreds of people taking the exam.
There are so many people competing for the twenty or thirty spots.
With one less person to compete with, you have one more chance.
It's not surprising that some people use dirty tricks.
Huang Xiucai sneered: "When I took the college exam before, I saw someone being drugged by one of his classmates, which delayed the exam."
"I didn't expect that there are people like this in our town."
Song Youming was very ashamed.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to cause trouble to Master and Su Yu."
"But our family has no solution for this matter yet."
"That family will probably come to make trouble again today."
"My parents discussed it and thought about having a good talk with them later to see if we could spend some money to settle the matter."
Even if you spend money to get rid of the problem, the rumors will start.
Their reputation will definitely be affected.
The more Song Youming talked, the more guilty he felt.
Huang Xiucai also frowned.
Other than spending some money to get rid of the problem, I can't think of any other way.
Although it was a matter within Song Youming's family, it affected more than just him.
And Su Yu himself.
Su Yu said: "Brother Youming, even if your family spends money to settle this matter, the rumors have already spread."
"It would still be detrimental to our reputation."
"If he is really picked up by then and someone deliberately reports him, I'm afraid the consequences will not be too good."
Song Youming sighed,
"But apart from that, my family really doesn't know what to do."
After thinking for a while, Su Yu continued: "I have a proposal."
"If done well, this matter can be solved perfectly and our reputation can be restored."
"Do you have any idea?" Song Youming looked at Su Yu as if asking for help.
Huang Xiucai was also a little doubtful.
Su Yu looked at the two of them and vaccinated them in advance.
"There is indeed a way."
"But this approach is also disgraceful."
"Tell me what method you can use." Huang Xiucai said.
"It's very simple."
Su Yu replied with four words: "Reply violence with violence."
