Qingzhou, Yongning Prefecture
There are two major clans in Xinghua Village. Their ancestors both had people who were officials and engaged in politics. However, over the years, they have been passed down from generation to generation and have declined.
How can you be willing to return to rubble after witnessing the brilliance of a pearl? When the children in the tribe reach old age, they will be sent to the tribe's school to learn from the old scholars.
Whenever a child is gifted, the clan elders will pool their efforts to support them for three years.
Even though they have fallen into the countryside and live in a corner, the two tribes have not given up.
I hope that there will be a few promising descendants in the clan, and even one of them can hope to regain the glory of his ancestors.
Maybe God really heard their sincere prayers.
Meng Yu, the youngest grandson of the Meng family, was very smart since he was a child. He was admitted as a child student within a few years of studying, and was admitted as a scholar at the age of fifteen.
The fifteen-year-old scholar is also an enviable existence in Yongning Mansion.
The Meng clan people in Xinghua Village were excited. Immediately open an ancestral hall to worship ancestors.
The only scholar in the tribe is old, and Meng Yu's reputation as a scholar makes the tribe seem to see hope again. It even gave them a lot of glory in front of the Pei clan.
But things are unpredictable.
Half a year later, a dull and taciturn young man in the Pei clan suddenly became enlightened after knocking his head off and showed an astonishing talent for reading.
It only took two months to pass the Tongsheng test, and then the Scholar test. The scholar, who was also fifteen years old, broke Meng Yu's status in the village.
Meng Yu was pampered by his family since he was a child and had a domineering and selfish temperament. He was originally a being praised by everyone in the village, but now that someone is trying to steal his shine, Pei Jingzhi naturally dislikes him.
Making things difficult in every possible way and causing stumbling blocks everywhere.
The quarrels that began at an early age have escalated into fighting over everything. Both tribes favor their own children, and they start to fight at the slightest disagreement.
Originally, due to the embarrassment of the two tribes, their ethnic studies were combined in one place, and they were initiated together by two elderly scholars in the tribe. After this incident, they broke up unhappy.
The elders of the two clans even spent the whole night re-dividing their territories, and they seemed to have no contact with each other until death.
What was originally a harmonious atmosphere has now become such that the Meng family snorts when they see the Pei family, and the Pei family rolls their eyes when they see the Meng family.
Children follow the same example. When they are stumbling, they have to start a fight. If they can't fight, they go to their older cousins to support them. If they can't fight, they go to their uncles for rescue.
What was originally a fight between children of several ages turned into a competition between teenagers, middle-aged people, and the elderly...
Even the women and mothers-in-law who came last saw their sons, men, and grandsons being beaten and joined the fight...
The intensity of the battle is comparable to that of a real battlefield!
The tense battle lasted for nearly two years. Pei Jingzhi became better and better, but Meng Yu's knowledge deteriorated.
During a fight over a water source, Meng Yu tried to take advantage of the chaos to push Pei Jingzhi into the river, and even wanted to give Pei Jingzhi a vicious blow with a pickaxe.
But someone pushed him, his feet slipped, and he was hit in the head by a hoe that was swung over, and he immediately fell into a pool of blood.
This frightened the elders of the Meng clan, and they hurriedly asked people to find wooden boards, carry Meng Yu and rush to the county for treatment.
Let alone the cruel words, if Meng Yu has any shortcomings, the Meng family will definitely fight to the end with the Pei family until the death.
Pei Song, who had beaten someone, was so frightened that his face turned pale, and his hands and feet began to tremble unconsciously.
He didn't expect to hit someone so hard. They usually fight in a measured manner and will not really cause anyone's life.
"Clan leader, I really didn't mean it. Meng Yu won't die! I don't want to go to jail!"
The more Pei Song thought about it, the more frightened he became. The seventeen-year-old boy cried with snot and tears and hugged the patriarch's thigh without letting go.
"With so much blood shed, I'm afraid the chances are bad..."
"Then what should we do? The Meng family still has to fight with us!"
The clan leader stopped the clan members' speculation and noise.
"Shut up! Everyone cashes in some money. I'll take Pei Song to the county town to have a look. I hope everyone is safe, otherwise..."
Otherwise, the Meng clan will definitely fight them tooth and nail, and Patriarch Pei has no doubt about this.
