Sheriff Li walked in, pressing his forehead. His wife and daughter, who were making embroidered noodles together, raised their heads.
"Father, why do you have a headache again?" Li Lian asked with a smile, and stood up to pour tea for Commander Li, "Miss Danzhu has not had any fights recently."
Hearing her joke, Sheriff Li laughed, took his daughter's tea, and shook his head helplessly: "She is literally everywhere."
It was really because of Chen Danzhu that Li Lian asked hurriedly: "What's wrong? What happened to her?"
Sheriff Li took a sip of tea and said, "Do you still remember that Yang Jing?"
Yang Jing——Li Lian thought for a while before he remembered, and then he thought it was funny. When talking about the young talents and romantic young men in Wu Du, the second son of the Yang family was definitely at the forefront. He and the eldest son Chen were both civil and military.
, among the girls in Wudu at that time, who would not know the name Yang Jing? It was not long before she heard the name, and she still wanted to think about it.
"That poor second son of Dr. Yang's family." Li's wife paid more attention to the young talents and had a deep memory. "Have you not been released yet? Although you are well fed and treated well, you are still in a cell after all. Dr. Yang
If a family is too timid to ask or urge someone, don't wait for them to come and ask for someone."
Commander Li smiled: "Let him go." He smiled bitterly, "This Second Young Master Yang, he has been imprisoned for so long and has no memory. He caused trouble again as soon as he was released. Now he is kidnapped by Xu Luozhi, who wants to report to the Ming Zhongzheng Official to remove his yellow status.
.”
Mrs. Li groaned, being expelled by the government is equivalent to being expelled from the family. Being expelled from the clan, this person is also useless. The gentry has always been superior and rarely involved in lawsuits. Even if they do evil things, most of them follow the family rules.
Punishment, what heinous thing did he do? The trouble was brought to the head of the government to punish him.
"He yelled at the Imperial Academy and insulted Xu Luozhi." Sheriff Li said helplessly.
As a Confucian scholar, insulting Confucian masters is disrespectful to the saints, bullying the master and destroying the ancestors, which is more serious than insulting his own father. Mrs. Li has nothing to say: "Why did Second Master Yang become like this? Now I want to kill Yang
The doctor was too scared to go out."
Li Lian asked sensitively: "Is this matter also related to Miss Danzhu?"
Otherwise, whether Yang Jing insults the Confucian saint or the emperor, it would be a trivial matter to his father, so he would not have a headache - he is not his son.
Sheriff Li sighed, looked at his wife and daughter again, and said with a complicated expression: "Yang Jing scolded Xu Luozhi because of Chen Danzhu."
Mrs. Li was puzzled: "Why are Mr. Xu and Chen Danzhu involved?"
These two people are in heaven and earth.
Sheriff Li was too embarrassed to say: "Yang Jing scolded Xu Luozhi for flattering Chen Danzhu."
Mrs. Li didn't pity Yang Jing at all: "I think this kid is really crazy. Who is Mr. Xu? How can he flatter Chen Danzhu? Chen Danzhu is just as good as flattering him."
Sheriff Li pressed his head: "Actually, I don't know who is flattering whom. Anyway, Chen Danzhu sent a scholar to the Imperial College. He was born in a poor family and was accepted by Master Xu."
Mrs. Li also knew the rules of the Imperial College, and was stunned for a moment when she heard this. If you want to say that, it’s really——
Sheriff Li coughed again: "This scholar has a close relationship with Chen Danzhu. The scholar admitted it and was expelled from the Imperial College by Xu Luozhi."
So, Yang Jing's scolding Xu Luozhi is not a matter of calm? Does it really have something to do with Chen Danzhu? Mrs. Li and Li Lian looked at each other, what is this?
Scholar - Li Lian suddenly thought of a person and hurriedly asked Governor Li: "Is that scholar named Zhang Yao?"
Sheriff Li frowned and shook his head: "I don't know. The people in the Imperial College didn't say it. It's irrelevant." He looked at his daughter, "You know? Why, this person really has a close relationship with Chen Danzhu?"
County Sheriff Li was a little nervous. He knew that his daughter had a good relationship with Chen Danzhu and had frequent contacts. She even attended Chen Danzhu's banquet - what kind of banquet was held by Chen Danzhu? Could it be the kind of wine pool and meat forest?
Although the people in the Imperial College did not say what the scholar's name was, the servants mentioned in gossip to the officials that the scholar was snatched by Chen Danzhu on the street some time ago.
Danzhu sent it to me, and we kissed it warmly at the gate of the Imperial College and reluctantly parted with it.
Chen Danzhu is becoming more and more domineering. He is young and has no one to teach him. Could it be that he is becoming more and more absurd?
Li Lian saw his father's thoughts and was angry and funny. He also felt sad for Chen Danzhu. It was not easy for a single girl to gain a foothold in the world.
"Chen Danzhu just met a scholar. This scholar is not closely related to her, but to Liu Wei. He is the orphan of Shopkeeper Liu's sworn brother. Liu Wei respects this brother. Chen Danzhu has a good relationship with Liu Wei, so he also
Treat him like a brother." Li Lian said, sighing softly.
Miss Danzhu, is it a bad thing to even be nice to others now?
After explaining to his father, Li Lian did not just ignore it and came to Liu's house in person.
Liu Wei heard that she was visiting and hurriedly welcomed her in personally.
"Miss Li." She asked a little uneasily, "Why are you here?"
Miss Li's father is a county guard. Could it be that the Imperial Academy kicked Zhang Yao out and also sent him to an official position?
Li Lian held her hand: "Don't worry, I just heard my father say this. Come over and see what's going on."
Liu Wei's eyes were slightly red and she sincerely thanked her. To be honest, she was not very familiar with Li Lian. She had only met and got acquainted with Chen Danzhu. She did not expect such a noble lady to care about her so much.
She invited Li Lian in and Zhang Yao over. Zhang Yao told the story. After listening, Li Lian sighed: "This is really an unforeseen disaster." She then told Liu Wei and Zhang Yao, "That Yang Jing and Danzhu
The young lady has a grudge. When King Wu was still there, he and Miss Danzhu were imprisoned by His Majesty and the King because of their quarrel. Now they have just been released. This is deliberately seeking revenge."
Zhang Yao was an outsider who didn't know what happened back then, and Liu Wei's identity was too far away to notice, so she sighed when she heard it.
"However, this is not an innocent disaster on my part." Zhang Yao said, "Miss Danzhu is the innocent and innocent disaster."
Li Lian looked at him and curtsied: "Master Zhang is a true gentleman."
With a bit of pride, Liu Wei took Li Lian's hand and said, "Brother told me that we will not tell Miss Danzhu about this matter. When she finds out, she will just say that it is my brother who has stopped reading."
Li Lian held her hand and nodded, then looked at Zhang Yao: "What about your study? I'll go back and let my father look for it. There are several academies nearby."
Zhang Yao thanked him: "I really don't want to read it anymore, let's talk about it later."
Liu Wei told Li Lian: "My father said that my brother should directly become an official. Some of his former classmates have held important positions in other places. I will wait for him to write a few letters of recommendation."
When you leave the capital, you don't have to worry about the bad reputation of expulsion from the Imperial College.
"That's fine." Li Lian said calmly, "Being an official who can do practical things is also a man."
Zhang Yao smiled, raised his chest and raised his head to the two women: "Just wait and see me become a real man."
Liu Wei and Li Lian looked at each other and smiled.
Although neither Liu Wei nor Li Lian told Chen Danzhu about this matter, in order not to make Chen Danzhu suspicious, they sent people to give them daily boudoir gifts. Chen Danzhu gave them gifts in return. As expected, there were not many
think.
Chen Danzhu did not go to the Imperial College to visit Zhang Yao during these days, so it could not affect his studies.
But, as Liu Wei said, this matter cannot be hidden.
On this day, Chen Danzhu was sitting in the house guarding the brazier and cutting medicine when A Tian rushed up from the mountain.
"Miss." She shouted before entering the door, "Master Zhang has been kicked out of the Imperial College."
The thumping sound in the room suddenly stopped.
"What?" The smile on Chen Danzhu's face disappeared and she asked, "He was kicked out of the Imperial College?"
A Tian, who was standing at the door, gasped and nodded, "Yes, it's absolutely true. I just heard it from the people down the mountain."
Chen Danzhu stood up holding the knife.
Zhang Yao's cough was cured, and his marriage was successfully annulled. The Liu family treated him well, and the letter of recommendation that changed his life was safely and smoothly delivered to the Imperial College. Zhang Yao's fate finally changed, and he entered the
While studying in the Imperial College, Chen Danzhu felt relieved.
But I didn't expect that after all the difficulties encountered in that life were solved, I was kicked out of the Imperial Academy!
How is this going?
A Tian looked at Chen Danzhu who was holding the knife: "Miss, sit down first and I'll tell you slowly." She walked over and pressed Chen Danzhu down and took the knife in her hand.
Chen Danzhu urged: "Tell me quickly, what's going on?"
"Miss, you also know that what the people in the tea shed say are all exaggerations, and many of them are false." A Tian said carefully, "You can't take it seriously——"
Seeing A Tian like this, Chen Danzhu guessed it and asked, "Is it related to me?"
A Tian couldn't help but be filled with anger: "It's that Yang Jing who took revenge on Miss. He went to the Imperial College to talk nonsense, saying that Mr. Zhang was sent to the Imperial College by you, Miss. As a result, Mr. Zhang was kicked out."
Yang Jing, Chen Danzhu almost forgot about this person. She thought he had followed King Wu, but he was still here and wanted to go against her. She looked at A Tian and knew that what A Tian said was actually true.
It was more tactful. It was definitely not as simple as her sending Mr. Zhang to the Imperial Academy. It must have been dirty words, such as saying that Zhang Yao was her guest and her subordinate.
After A Tian finished speaking, she saw that Chen Danzhu had no reaction, so she quickly advised: "Miss, please calm down first."
Chen Danzhu stood up: "I'm very calm. Let's go find out what's going on first."
Of course, this question is not to ask passers-by in the tea shed, but to go to Liu's house to find Zhang Yao.
Such a big thing happened, and neither Zhang Yao nor Liu Wei came to tell her——
"If you find out that it's my fault, I'll explain it to the Imperial College."
Ah Tian responded, without putting down the medicine knife she took from Chen Danzhu, and ran out with it.
Yan'er and Cui'er also heard it and waited uneasily in the yard. When they saw A Tian coming out with a knife, they were startled and hurriedly hugged her.
"Sister, don't you need to use a knife?" "The three of us can beat up the people in the tea shed together."
A Tian was anxious and confused, and they laughed at her. She gave the knife to Yan'er and whispered: "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm afraid of the young lady - you take the knife, I'm going to the city with the young lady."
Yes, the lady must be very angry. She is going to the city. She cannot be allowed to hold a knife. She is really good at killing people. Although those people are hateful and deserve to be killed, if they really kill them, the lady will also suffer. Although they are
The maid also knew that Yang Jing and noble ladies and gentlemen could be beaten and scolded, but the entrance hall of Confucian masters and saints could not be desecrated, so Yaner Cuier hurriedly took the knife.
Chen Danzhu's carriage galloped into the city as fiercely as ever.
"Go and tell Miss Fourth." A man stared at the carriage speeding through the city and whispered to another person, "Chen Danzhu has entered the city. You should have heard the news."
The man flew towards the palace as if flying.
Chen Danzhu galloped all the way to Liu's house. Hearing her arrival, and looking at her face when she came in, Liu Wei and Zhang Yao looked at each other, knowing that she knew.
"Don't be angry yet." Liu Wei took Chen Danzhu's hand and said, "Listen to us first."
Zhang Yao nodded at the side: "Yes, listen to us."
Mrs. Cao was also on the side and said softly: "Miss Danzhu, please sit down first and I will prepare some snacks for you."
As a parent, she met the guests and left, leaving the young people to speak for themselves.
When Chen Danzhu saw this scene, she could at least rest assured that the attitude of Liu Wei and her mother towards Zhang Yao had not changed at all. They did not avoid doubts and avoidance. Instead, they had a kinder attitude. They were really like a family.
She sat down wrapped in her cloak: "Speak, I'll listen."
Zhang Yao first told what happened in the Imperial College, and then Liu Wei asked why he didn't tell her.
"Danzhu." She sat next to Chen Danzhu, "Brother is right, this matter is a disaster for you, and brother doesn't want to explain it for us, and explanation is useless. In the final analysis, Mr. Xu is
Prejudice against you."
He looked angry and determined when he said this.
"As a Confucian master, he doesn't distinguish right from wrong. It's meaningless to argue with him and explain. My brother doesn't want such a gentleman. It's because we don't want to study with him."
Zhang Yao nodded and lowered his voice: "It's not good to talk about others behind their backs, but in fact, I have studied with Mr. Xu for more than ten days, and he is not suitable for me. What I want to learn is water control. Miss Danzhu, don't you meet me?"
Have you passed what I wrote?" He puffed up his chest and said, "My father's husband, the one who wrote the recommendation book, has been teaching me this. My husband passed away, so in order for me to continue learning, he recommended Xu
Sir, but Mr. Xu is not good at water control, so I won’t waste time studying those Confucian classics.”
Liu Wei nodded at the side: "Yes, yes, my brother did not lie. He showed me and my father what he wrote." After saying that, she smiled shyly, "I can't understand, but my father said that my brother is better than his father."
It was even more powerful back then.”
Zhang Yao said: "So I plan to study according to the notes of my father and husband, and at the same time look around and verify on the spot."
Liu Wei nodded: "My father is already writing letters to his fellow disciples to see who is proficient in water control. Most of his fellow disciples are serving as officials in various places."
The two looked at Chen Danzhu again: "So, Miss Danzhu, you can be angry, but don't worry, this matter is nothing."
After Chen Danzhu listened to what they said, and then looked at Zhang Yao's relaxed expression and smiling face, her eyes became sore and she hurriedly stood up.
"Okay." She said, "I feel relieved after hearing what you said, but I am still really angry. That Yang Jing——"
Liu Wei hurriedly said: "That Yang Jing, Miss Li Lian has already told us that he was punished miserably."
Chen Danzhu took a few deep breaths: "Then I won't let him go."
It is better to make trouble with Yang Jing than with the Imperial Academy. Zhang Yao nodded along with her words: "He has been locked up. When he is released, we will deal with her again."
Chen Danzhu looked at him and was amused.
Seeing her smile, Liu Wei felt relieved and pulled Chen Danzhu to have something to eat, but Chen Danzhu refused.
"I'm very angry now," she said, "I'll eat it again after I calm down in a few days."
Liu Wei and Zhang Yao knew that it was enough to comfort her so much. Chen Danzhu was so domineering that she couldn't even be angry, so they didn't try to persuade her anymore. They sent her out and watched Chen Danzhu leave in the car.
, with a look of relief and apprehension, it should be a little more comforting, right?
When Chen Danzhu got into the car, tears fell like rain.
A Tian hurriedly hugged her and started crying: "Miss, don't be angry."
Chen Danzhu shook his head: "I'm not angry, I'm sad, I'm so sad."
Zhang Yao said so much that he liked water control. He couldn't learn water control at the Imperial Academy, so he stopped learning. However, he was lying.
He didn't know that she knew that he didn't go to the Imperial College to study flood control. He wanted to become a prison student so that he could become an official who could preside over the government in the future, and then give full play to his talents.
Now that he has been kicked out, his dream is still shattered, just like it was in that life.
In that life, it was the recommendation letter that ruined his dream. In this life, it was her——
Chen Danzhu raised his head and looked at the swaying car curtain in front of him.
"Bamboo Forest." She said, "Go to the Imperial College."
...
...
A gust of north wind blew, and fine snow particles sprinkled down. The Imperial College doorman stood in the foyer, and the prison students who were coming in and out were tightly wrapped in fine fur cloaks of different colors.
A car came running wildly, and the horse neighed and stopped in front of the door.
The doorman looked over lazily and saw a maid coming down first. She set up a footstool and supported a petite woman wrapped in fur. Whose lady is she? Are you looking for someone in the Imperial College?
As soon as the doorman had a thought, he saw the petite woman picking up the footstool and rushing over, raising her hand and smashing it.
The doorman was caught off guard and screamed, holding his head. The footstool passed over his head and hit the heavy door with a loud bang.
"Xu Luozhi——" a female voice sounded, "Come out here——"
