Chapter 326: Another Encounter in the Road(1/2)

In the afternoon, these boys and girls formed a gathering to compete in poetry, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Ye Shiqi did not shamelessly plagiarize 300 private Tang poems, nor did she show vanity by using those modern poems that she dearly loved.

She is who she is, and if she has real literary talent, then it is not easy for her to overdo it at her current age. After all, she is a person who has not studied in an academy.

The gentleman I hired, Xiucai, taught me how to read and read. He chose to teach girls how to understand and apply poetry. The way of education was different from that of men, which was simpler.

Seeing that her sister doesn't show off her talents, even though Ye Fengqi has known calligraphy for several years, she still doesn't show off at composing poems!

Sima Roumei doesn't have so many worries. She usually competes with these boys in the academy and is the only female student in Galaxy Academy.

Fortunately, she usually disguises herself as a man when she studies, so the academy has given her a separate room with a toilet, so she doesn't have to crowd with those men.

The dean of the academy made an exception and allowed Sima Roumei to attend school after receiving a letter from the capital.

If this were not the case, as the daughter of Magistrate Sima Roumei, she would not be able to enter the academy as an exception.

Some of the county magistrate's daughters from wealthy families have also proposed to study in the academy. Those who doted on their daughters also asked through their connections, but they never got the academy's approval.

Some people also sent a lot of money to donate to the academy, or sent some money to the gentlemen or the dean.

The gentlemen have nothing to do if the dean does not agree. They dare not collect money without authorization. They cannot lose their iron rice bowl!

Although Galaxy Academy is just an academy in the county, this academy is very famous. Its fame does not matter whether it produces many students who can become officials or too many people who are nominated for each Beijing examination.

I care that more students in the academy are trained here. If they grow up to be promising, they will also be recommended to study in academies in the capital when they are young.

It is not possible to study in such a famous Capital Academy only if you have money. You must also be recommended by some famous academies before you can study in it.

Ye Shiqi can understand that Galaxy Academy is like kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, high school, etc. You must go to the capital to study at the university level.

There are also some students from poor families. If these people are not particularly smart, they will not be able to enter these famous academies.

The boys and girls here not only write poems, draw pictures, but also play the piano and have a lot of fun.

Some literati, young people or adults also organize such activities.

When they want to organize such an event, they must order musical instruments or entertainment tools here, unless they bring the entertainment tools themselves.

The manor provides musical instruments, but they must be rented in advance. These people may not want to bring out the musical instruments and entertainment tools at home. Anyway, it doesn’t cost much to rent them out to play.

But only some rich people often spend money here, and they don’t feel that spending money here is very high when having fun.

Real poor students are satisfied if they have money to buy pens, ink, paper, and pay tuition fees.

Ye Shiqi and the fourth sister did not have dinner at the manor. Summer came late at night. Although these friends came, the company in the morning and noon was enough. They wanted to leave the evening time to their families.

The old man who drove the oxcart that came to pick them up had replaced the oxcart with a horse-drawn carriage. It wasn't very luxurious, but it was very comfortable.

Sima Roumei really wanted the two of them to accompany her, and they could play with her at night. If she couldn't keep her, she had no choice but not to force her. She could only tell them to come back to play with them tomorrow.

Sima Roumei likes to play with these two Ye sisters the most, because they are not pretentious, and there is no competition for female celebrities with them. Sometimes they will talk about some costumes or popular items.

I have regarded these two girls as my best friends, but I don't know why I can't get along with the girls from wealthy families in the county.

I just feel that they are too good at pretending and acting, which is incompatible with her personality, and it is not fun to play with those people.

Ye Shiqi watched from the carriage that it had entered the village. When passing two factories, the workers' machines were still making noise.

The two factories no longer only work during the day, but also have workers working at night. However, the most dangerous jobs are still only for the day shift, because the candlelight is not bright enough and it is dangerous and may injure people.

Ye Shiqi guessed that his father was still in the factory at this time and would arrive home before dark every day. There was still an hour before dark.

"stop……!"

Someone came to stop the carriage without fear of death. The coachman turned the carriage and tried to pass this person, but unexpectedly some more people came over to stop the carriage.

"You bastards, you weren't frightened enough in the morning, and now you come out to block our carriage. Are you desperate for your life? I really want to trample you to death!"

The coachman's wife was a veteran. The horse stopped dangerously, raising its hooves. The servant's face changed in fright, and the coachman kept scolding them.

The families of these wealthy people usually show off their power, but the coachman is not afraid of them. When serving different masters, no one is afraid of the other!

"You old man, do you want to die too? Believe it or not, I killed your whole family!"

The other servant was not idle, and the family was so frightened that they did not dare to say anything. They were not afraid. The young lady was here to support them.

Ye Shiqi stopped from the carriage and opened the curtains to see the people standing by the roadside. These people were blocking the way.

The people Ye Fengqi saw from opening the curtains, there were so many guests there in the morning, she didn't hesitate to scold them, and now she was even more unforgiving.

"Hey, Fat Woman No. 1, Fat Woman No. 2 and ugly girls, it's not enough that you were scolded by the men this morning, why are you here to show your ugliness?"

Ye Lanzhi, Ye Jinxiang and their sisters stood on the roadside and looked at the people in the carriage with proud eyes. They were insulted in the morning and took out all their anger on the Ye sisters.

They deliberately came to stop people in the evening because they didn't have bodyguards. Even if people from the village passed by, no one would help them for a while. What's more important is that they have already found thugs here.

When planning this matter, I have already thought about it. The two families will become more and more conflicted. However, it is not that they have conflicts today, they have just deepened.

When Ye Jinxiang heard Ye Fengqi calling them ugly girls or fat girls, her nose became crooked with anger, "You are seeking death...!"

Ye Lanzhi was also angrily scolded: "You two bitches, your mouths are so dirty."

Then their sisters also waved angrily and said to the servants: "Why don't you come quickly? Are you waiting for them to treat you to finish the meal?"

The servants of Ye Jinxiang's family usually act aggressively towards some villagers and do not dare to actually commit murder.

Many of them have families, and they are just making a living in their houses.

Of course, there are families who give birth to children, and there are also slaves who are bought, but they still dare not do anything really illegal.

The most important thing is that bullying also depends on the target. Can they attack a beautiful little girl?

Especially the background behind these two girls. What they did just now was just to show off for their master, so they say they are fierce on the surface, but they are actually suffering a lot in their hearts!

"Miss, why don't you give it up? They are all girls!"

"Yes, miss, we can still be taxi drivers, but if we beat Acer's two daughters, we will go to jail!"

The four or five servants had just threatened them. They originally thought they were going to call the rickshaw driver to scare the two young ladies, just like they did during the day.

They only dared to say that the swords of those guards were so powerful, how could they dare to actually take action.

Mainly because I know that there is a person with the biggest background here, the lady of the county magistrate's family, and those who fight are not trying to go to jail faster.

They know very well the character of the rich man's family. If they really hurt someone and go to jail, the rich man will definitely not use money to ransom them. They bully the weak and fear the strong.

They thought they were the ones who had climbed up to the Tang family, but unexpectedly the young master of the Tang family ignored them and even they couldn't bear to listen to the insults in his words.

"You eat from our family, use our family's food, and collect our family's wages, but you don't obey our orders. Just wait to be fired!"

Ye Jinxiang smelled and pointed at them with a fat finger, determined to make them beat the sisters of the Ye family.

Some of the servants are not afraid of death, and some are afraid to move. They feel that if they lose their lives for money, they would rather not have this job, so as to give these two daughters a good job!

Anyone who dared to move rushed forward. This person gave me a hammer and didn't think so much about the consequences. He only thought about losing his job.

First, a mallet rushed forward. Before he could reach the carriage, he was whipped by the old man's riding crop.

He also had a knife in his hand. He tried hard to block it, but was still hit by the riding crop. He felt very painful at this moment.

"You damn old man, if you dare to hit me, I won't kill you with a knife!"

The stick hurt from being hit, and he was really angry. No matter whether it was illegal or not, just now he just wanted to use the back of the knife to work, but now he is using the sharpest side to chop down the coachman.

The coachman is also a person with martial arts value, and is also a famous martial arts master in the village.

I usually work here at the master's house. When I have nothing to do, I will help out at home. In the evening, I will go to the ancestral hall to train as an apprentice.

In addition to the lion awakening team in the village, since the village has become rich in the past few years, more wealthy people have invested here, and the responsibility of protecting the village is more important. There will be militiamen patrolling at night.

The coachman is the captain of the militia. This group of militiamen is paid by Acer to patrol at night, not only to protect their manor, but also to protect the safety of their families.

As for the two factories, in addition to the doormen, there will also be guards. These are hired by people from the Tang family and do not require Acer to worry.

Acer did not recruit people privately, but asked Li Zheng to recruit them through the official government.

Bang Chui and the coachman started fighting, and other families also joined the lineup. They didn't dare to go against Qianjin's idea, but they still dared to hit their coachman.

So all of a sudden, four or five people hailed a driver. Ye Fengqi and Ye Shiqi took the opportunity to get out of the carriage. If the driver was bullied like this, they quickly ran home to find someone to help.

"Don't go away...! If you dare to run away...if you run away once, you won't be able to run away a second time!" Ye Jinxiang found out that their sisters had run away, and scolded her loudly, while her fat feet were still being chopped off.

"Go after them...!" Ye Lanzhi asked the maids around her to chase them. The sisters are usually lazy and do not exercise. How can they outrun these two sisters? I can only watch them run!

"Hey, fat woman, let the ugly girl chase you!" Ye Fengqi ran away and turned around to annoy them with their desperate words.

Ye Shiqi..., "If the fourth sister talks about them like this, they may get hurt internally."

Ye Fengqi turned back sarcastically: "It's best to piss them off so that you don't have to harm others in the future!"

There was no need for the two sisters to run home. What happened in the middle of the village, someone quickly notified the escort team, and a group of people rushed out to help.

The servants saw so many people rushing over and knew that there were many others and that this escort was not easy to mess with. They were all poor farmers who were not afraid of death. It was useless to threaten their families. They were really poor people.

Ye Shiqi and Ye Fengqi were waiting in front of the house. They were really worried that the driver would be injured.

The coachman came back looking chic, his clothes were not messy, and his hair was not messy.

Ye Shiqi... is indeed a strong man.

Ye Fengqi...: "Uncle, are you okay?"

"Haha, thank you ladies for your concern. Why are those weak chickens our opponents? We scared them away!"
