Chapter 148
Zhou Song had enough to eat and drink, so he decided to go to the county to find Wei's trouble.
He held back his anger. There must be a place to vent his anger. The Wei family is very good.
Of course, before that, he specially called Wei Lingxiu and asked, "Lingxiu, would you like to inherit it to me?"
Wei Ling was stunned.
Zhou Song said: "if you stay in the Wei family, the Wei family can hold you. If you inherit it to me, you don't need to worry."
If Wei Lingxiu continues to stay in the Wei family, he will be held in the hands of the Wei family.
For example, in the future, Wei Lingxiu will take part in the rural examination, but old Mrs. Wei said that she was seriously ill, and she had to wait on him. If he did not agree, even if he passed the exam, the unfilial person would be crossed off.
For example, to marry a wife is the order of parents and the matchmaker's words. If Wei's family has established a marriage for Wei Ling Xiu, Wei Lingxiu can only recognize it.
Even if the father killed his son, the government would not take care of it.
"The Zhou family agreed?" Yan Jing asked. He has already known Zhou Song's situation. As Zhou Song is now, it is not difficult to let go of the Wei family. However, in addition to getting the Wei family's consent, Zhou family members should also agree to adopt such a thing.
After all, the adoptive son should be treated as his own son.
"I'm in charge of the Zhou family now." Zhou Songdao mentioned a few things about Zhou family.
Before that, Zhou Song's father was still there, and it was up to him to decide everything in the Zhou family.
He had a large number of women and children. At that time, the Zhou family was in a mess. Zhou Song and his sister's marriage were not satisfactory.
But last year, Zhou Song's father was charged with doing something he shouldn't have done, and then he was ill in prison, paralyzed half of his body, and now he can't control anything.
As for Zhou Song's wife Zhou Song and his wife were at odds. In those years, they did not take their wives with them. For many years, they only had two daughters, and they happened to have no sons.
In recent years, his wife is about old, but she did not quarrel with him, but also wanted to adopt a child. Originally, his choice was a young child without parents in the Zhou family. He didn't think about Wei Lingxiu, but now he thinks Wei Lingxiu is more suitable.
"I thought you were the eldest son of the Wei family. Neither you nor your father would like to. Now it's OK." Zhou Songdao.
"Wei's side..." Wei Lingxiu hesitated.
"They have to agree if they don't agree!" Zhou Songdao. Zhou Song, in his twenties, was ranked as a Jinshi in the imperial examination. After spending two years in the capital, Zhou Song became a county magistrate after a vacancy.
He did a good job in his foreign office. By chance, he even got in touch with today's confidants. He had to work for his majesty and return to the capital. However, for a long time, he was unable to advance in the officialdom because he was a son, and his official position could not go beyond his father.
His father, though he could not offend the Wei family, which did not even have a Jinshi, was actually just a five grade official.
Zhou Song's family and family have been constrained for many years. Naturally, he knows that the top priority is to help Wei Lingxiu solve the problem.
"I'll be with brother Yan in the future, and I won't get married." Wei Ling practices Taoism.
"Well, I might have another child in the future." Zhou Songdao, he is only thirty-six this year, and his wife is only thirty-two, so it is not necessarily impossible for him to give birth.
As for the matter of Yan Jing Ze and Wei Lingxiu, he naturally disagrees, but Yan Jing is kind to Wei Lingxiu, and he has no position to say anything.
In the future, they can adopt several children, otherwise If you take more students, you will have a pension.
After consideration, Wei Lingxiu and Yanjing finally agreed.
They have talked about the Wei family for a long time, and think that most of them are unwilling to give up Before, they planned to go out for a study tour and leave Donggu County for a while - in this way, the Wei family couldn't find them!
However, it is not so easy to go out to study. Nowadays, there are not many people who can never come back after they have left home. Moreover, they will come back sooner or later to take the imperial examination. However, what does the Wei family really want to do? Maybe Wei Lingxiu will have no chance with the imperial examination in the future.
Yanjing doesn't want Wei Lingxiu to be looked down upon at all.
As for Zhou Song They don't know Zhou Song, but they can also know that Zhou Song has no malice to Wei Lingxiu.
Zhou song goes to the Wei family for trouble. Wei Lingxiu can't go together or even show up to avoid a reputation of being unfilial. Finally, Yan Jing accompanies Zhou Song to the Wei family.
Zhou Song left two servants, with the remaining two servants and housekeeper Yan Jingze, went to the county.
Most people in Xing'an village didn't know about Zhou Song's coming to the village last night. But today, when they bought food in the village, they already let the villagers know that Zhou Song and his presence were there!
Now, it's really promising!
At this moment, people in Xing'an village are watching Yan Jingze from a distance.
At this time last year, Yanjing was still a gangster they were afraid of, but now a year has passed"I didn't expect Yanda to be so smart!"
"The county magistrate praised him."
"I heard that even the magistrate praised him!"
"The old Yan Family's ancestral grave is smoking!"
....
"Yanda has been very good at business since childhood."
"He's very capable. He has such a bad father. I thought he would starve to death, but he just grew up well."
"He never fights in our village! In fact, people are very good. "
....
Of course, they also talked about Wei Lingxiu: "it's said that the young master of the Wei family has a bad life in the Wei family. His stepmother doesn't want to see him. Now he has a good life."
"With Yan Jingze, he even passed the examination of scholars. How wonderful."
"Yanjing is really good to him and sent him to study!"
....
The villagers, who had been worried about Yanjing's attack on Wei Lingxiu, now envy Wei Lingxiu.
Chatting with each other, some people saw their children running past like mud monkeys, and they also caught the children: "Stinky boy, why don't you go to school?"
"Dad, don't go to school today!" Said the child.
"If you don't go to school, you can do it at home! You must study hard. It's like learning from words
Because Yan Jing was admitted to the scholar's college, the child who was sent to school by his father wanted to cry!
When Yan Jing and Zhou Song went to the county, many people came to the Wei family.
Since Wei Lingxiu was admitted as a scholar and Wei Lingyuan failed, the atmosphere of the Wei family has been very bad.
Wei Lingyuan was arrogant. He couldn't stand being compared with his elder brother. He didn't eat for two days, so he became angry.
Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wei called for a heartache, but they did not coax Wei Lingyuan well, so the elders of the Wei family came to the door.
The Wei family is in Donggu County, which is also a big family.
Wei Zhiyuan's branch is the best in the family, but the rest of the Wei family can't be said to be bad. The old people in the family have great prestige.
"Before you said Wei Lingxiu was incorruptible and ignorant. Now what is this?" An old man of the Wei family glared at Mrs. Wei: "Wei Lingyuan didn't get into the Xiucai exam! He passed the exam In terms of seniority, this man is a generation older than Mrs. Wei. He is very rude to Mrs. Wei.
Some people of the same generation as Mrs. Wei said, "if you are really a stepmother, you don't care about the children. Ling Xiu is so intelligent. If he teaches well, he may be able to be a Jinshi! You shortsighted woman, you drive people out
The old people in the Wei clan now only think that Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wei are too virtuous.
A family is full of talents, the more the better! Now in Donggu County, the Li family can hold down their Wei family everywhere. Is it because there are so many people in the Li family who are famous?
They are the Wei family. They have worked hard to run the ethnic studies. They hope that there will be more talents in the family?
That is to say, this family doesn't know what to think. Such an excellent child still has to go out. A few days ago, they asked the family to bring back Wei Lingxiu, but the family also pushed against three obstacles.
In the past, they always heard that Wei Lingxiu had lost his ambition and so on. But now, looking back, Wei Lingxiu didn't do anything. He didn't eat, drink, whore or gamble. That is to say, young people like to play a little.
It doesn't matter if you have anything to do with that word. At most, when you marry your daughter-in-law, you can't be too high. You can only choose from a family that is not as good as the Wei family.
As for Mrs. Wei, there is no place for her to speak. She can only listen to her.
"Lingxiu has gone back to Donggu county. Zhiyuan's, you can prepare some gifts tomorrow, go there in person and call people back." Finally, an old man said to Mrs. Wei.
"What if he doesn't want to?" Old Mrs. Wei frowned: "he is used to pushing an inch forward!"
"All the maids have gone in person. Would he like to Wei family's old way.
Wei Lingxiu is a scholar. Mrs. Wei went to see him in person. He still refused to come back Does he want fame?
Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wei looked at each other, but they still suppressed their displeasure and agreed to come down.
"If you tell him about a daughter-in-law again, although he has changed his mind and become a scholar in the examination, it is not pleasant for two men to be together. Ling Xiu must get married soon!" There is another old way.
Mrs. Wei was a little upset when she heard this.
Although the Wei family has some property, no one in our ancestors has ever passed the Jinshi exam, and the family property is just like that.
In the early years, Wei Zhiyuan wanted to take the imperial examination and went to the capital every two or three years The cost of this road, in the capital, can be a little bit more!
If Wei Lingxiu's mother didn't leave a lot of dowries, his uncle would send annual gifts every year. They were afraid that their family would sell their land Shame!
Now if Wei Lingxiu wants to get married, how much does it cost? The family has to build a yard for him She wanted to leave all the money to her son.Although you don't dare to talk about it for a few years, the old Wei's wife is sad
"Then choose a girl from the merchant's house." Wei family old way: "Ling Xiu is young, there must be someone willing to!"
The merchant status is low, if can't depend on an official, the family property will be swallowed up carelessly.
However, ordinary merchants still can not find a person to rely on.
They will think of other ways, such as asking their daughter to take a large amount of money to become a concubine for officials, and for example, to marry their daughter to a talented scholar with potential. If the scholar makes achievements in the future, his family will also get many benefits.
At this time, Mrs. Wei turned the corner.
On second thought, it's good.
Wei Lingxiu went back to Wei's house and naturally let her take care of it. As for Wei Lingxiu's wife When a person's daughter-in-law, mother-in-law and mother-in-law's words, we must listen to them.
There are few people like Wei Lingxiu's mother in the world!
Mrs. Wei was proud for a moment.
They were just talking when someone came in: "old lady! Here comes the magistrate
The county magistrate was just a small official, but no one in the Wei family dared to look down on him. They rushed out to meet him. As a result, they saw someone walking in front of Zhu county magistrate.
The man was in his thirties and looked very gentle. However, when the Wei family saw him, they were all in their hearts. Mrs. Wei, who was originally full of laughter, almost couldn't breathe.
This man came here more than ten years ago, and there was a lot of trouble at that time. Mrs. Wei has always remembered this hatred and never thought he would come again!
What's more, more than ten years ago, this man just went to work as a county magistrate, but now
Zhu county magistrate fell behind this man!
This Isn't that the man was demoted? Why is it here?
Mrs. Wei's face turned pale. She suddenly remembered that she had sent someone to deliver letters some days ago.
She couldn't read and didn't want to pay attention to this person. She burned the letter directly. Now
When Mrs. Wei saw Zhou Song, her face turned black.
Zhou Song looked at Mrs. Wei, but he gave a light sigh.
Yanjing immediately found that Mrs. Wei's face was not only green, but even black. It was very interesting.
What's more interesting is that when Zhou Song explains his identity, both the elders of the Wei family and Mrs. Wei have to greet each other with a smile.
Of course, Mrs. Wei's smiling face It's almost twisted.
Mrs. Wei is in a hurry. Someone comes again. This time, Wei Zhiyuan is here.
Wei Zhiyuan has been teaching in Fucheng. It takes a long time for Wei Zhiyuan to go home, even by boat. It is inconvenient to go back and forth, so he doesn't come back very much.
And this time he came back for Zhou Song's sake.
Before Wei Lingxiu passed the examination of a scholar. People around him congratulated him. Some people heard that Wei Lingxiu and Yanjing were good friends, and they asked him for the words of yanjingze
He was so upset by these people that he wanted to go home. When he got the news, he was even more frightened and rushed home. He learned that Zhou Songcheng was the student of Nanzhou government next door.
Today, it is often in July or August that Xuezheng is appointed, and then he immediately goes to all the prefectures to preside over the examination.
He had known for a long time who the school administration in their town was. However, he did not get any information about it. He did not need to understand the academic administration which was beyond his control.
As a result, the school administration of Nanzhou government was Zhou Song?
Wasn't something wrong with your family that week? Why did Zhou Song become a student politics? Are you still out of Beijing?
Wei Zhiyuan was shocked and went home in a hurry. As soon as he got home, he saw Zhou Song and immediately stayed on the spot, shivering all over.
All right, everybody, here we are.
Although Yan Jingze had met several officials before, he only talked about calligraphy and knowledge, and never talked about anything else. Today, he followed Zhou Song and found that it was really not easy to be an official.
It's not hard, of course.
He even liked the sense of power.
Yan Jing and Wei Lingxiu are both scholars, but Zhou song can't help it. Zhou Song, however, is not the same. He even eliminates and beats the Wei family, so he completely suppresses the Wei family. Wei Lingxiu's succession is soon settled.
At this time, it is stipulated that a woman's dowry belongs to the woman, and the husband's family can not use the dowry without the consent of the woman. If he leaves, the woman can still take the dowry.
But if a woman dies, her mother's family can't recover the dowry. The law clearly stipulates that although the wife is dead, the wife's family can't pursue the dowry for all her assets and servants.
In spite of this, it is stipulated that a woman's dowry shall be inherited by her children or by her chosen heirs.
Wei's family spent the dowry of Wei Lingxiu's mother, and Zhou Song took hold of it.
Of course, the most important thing is that Zhou Song has power and power.
Yan Jing actually thinks it's too cheap for Wei family, but at this moment, he can't do too much If he wants to make the Wei family unlucky, it's better to be strong.When he gets stronger, he doesn't have to fight. Naturally, the Wei family will get worse.
Wei Lingxiu's adoption was accomplished in a very short time. Of course, because the ancestral temple of the Zhou family was in the capital, he was not included in the Zhou family's genealogy for the time being.
Zhou Song had an official position and could not stay in Donggu County for a long time, so he left soon. However, Wei Lingxiu and Yanjing did not follow him to Nanzhou government.
They were born and raised here, and decided to live here - they had just settled in and lived together, which was the fairy day.
They send Zhou Song away. There are no outsiders at home. Yanjing and Wei Lingxiu have to close the door and make love with each other. They go to their neighbors to buy some food and go home.
Yan Jing also went out to see his mother.
The mother of the original owner has remarried. At this time, in the legal sense, it has nothing to do with him. He doesn't need him to support him. However, it is the one who has the body. Yan Jing still hopes that the woman can live well. He gave the woman some money and asked the woman to send her children to school to learn a few words.
It's not easy for ordinary farmers to offer up a scholar, but they can learn how to settle accounts after recognizing the words and become an accountant in the future, which can also make them live better.
After dealing with her mother's affairs, Yanjing continued to read and began to read books on the law.
After going to Wei's home with Zhou Song, he found the knowledge of law very useful. He went to Wei's bookstore to borrow books.
Yanjing read all the law books and recited them all over again. He liked them very much. So
Wei Lingxiu gets up this morning and kisses Yanjing and says, "may I be like the star king and the moon, and the light will be bright at night."
Yan Jing kisses him back, but subconsciously asks, "if you break a person's teeth, your hands and feet, and your eyes, what's the punishment?" Compared with those poems, he really felt that the law should be learned more In the future, it can be used as an official.
Wei Lingxiu: He took it!
At noon, Wei Lingxiu cooked a meal and hid a red bean in the meal. As a result, Yanjing ate half a bowl of rice without noticing it. While eating, he asked, "how many sticks are there for those who demolish the house of Shenming Pavilion and the board list?"
Wei Lingxiu: He still tolerated it!
After dinner, they read a book together. Wei Lingxiu suddenly became interested: "brother Yan, can I draw you a picture?" He has learned to draw. Although he is not good at painting, he can draw freely.
"Well, when you draw, I'll give you an endorsement. You can familiarize yourself with the law All civil and military lawsuits should be filed, but not filed. " He can recite the law even if it doesn't read it!
Wei Lingxiu: He suddenly wanted to hit someone!
However, Wei Lingxiu still tolerated.
However, what he didn't expect was that on that night, they were lying in the same bed and were warm. Yanjing even asked him, "how many lashes are those who curse people? It's really I didn't expect the penalty for swearing was so heavy. "
Wei Lingxiu couldn't bear it any more. He immediately grasped the key point of Yan Jingze and said with a sneer, "I'm going to scold you now. Do you want to flog me?"
