Poisonous Peasant ‘Concubine’

"Look at my temper, how can I forget the most important thing."

Hearing this, Lao Song couldn't help but slapped himself lightly twice, and hurried forward and said: "The county master wants to entertain the students who have been admitted to the scholar this time in the government office. The second master is a gifted student, so naturally he will also attend. Besides In addition, Ling Chenggui from Lizheng's family was also admitted as a scholar. They made an appointment to come back together in two days. Shui Sheng and Mr. Yuan accompanied him. The second master was afraid that the master and wife would be worried, so he sent me back first to announce the good news to you."

"Since that's the case, there's no need to worry. The county magistrate will be transferred in February. You go to the county seat to find the second master, and ask him to find a way to have a private chat with Mr. Hu, and find out where the new magistrate is transferred from. How is the character?"

Ling Jingxuan nodded, and said in a deep voice, he doesn't want to meet a top-ranking county magistrate, even though the emperor's decree and plaque are there, even if the new county magistrate is top-notch, he doesn't dare to do anything to him, after all, he does The emperor is watching all the things, but some top grades have no brains. It is better to find out early than to deal with it in a hurry.

"Yes"

Old Song retired respectfully after hearing the words, and the servants of the family came up to congratulate them in turn. Ling Chenglong and his wife were so happy that they shouted "rewards". The news spread throughout the Lingjia Village. Many people who did not communicate with each other on weekdays, including many local tyrants and squires in Datong Town, came to the door, and some of them brought generous gifts. Ling Jingxuan was too lazy to greet, so he simply let Ling Chenglong and his wife go to work. Zheng, Lan, and Ling Yun were here, and he wasn't worried about their losses. However, before hiding in his room, he repeatedly explained that he would not accept anyone's congratulatory gifts, regardless of their severity. Ling Chenglong and his wife were not that greedy. In addition, Ling Jingxuan also said that this is to accumulate official reputation for Jinghan, and they dare not have any ideas, so those who want to take this opportunity to climb up to them, no doubt all of them took advantage of it and returned disappointed .

"Really? Jinghan has been awarded the prize?" The old scholar's family heard that Ling Jinghan had been given the prize. Due to the repeated torment of the illness, Ling Qiyun, who was already completely out of shape, opened his eyes suddenly, his face was full of excitement, His grandson really passed the entrance examination?

"Well, Lord, Uncle Cheng Gui of the Second Uncle's family has also passed the examination as a scholar, and now the whole village knows about it."

Ling Jinghong, who was waiting on the side, said indifferently, if you look carefully, there is also joy hidden in the depths of his eyes, but he will not express it. The last time his parents went to Yuehua Villa to make trouble completely made him He was disappointed with this family, and he was going to leave when the old man was sent away.

"Really? The whole village knows about it..."

It was said that the old man was eunuched in an instant. Everyone knew about it, but they didn't want to come and tell him. It seems that they were completely heartbroken and would not recognize them anymore. Now this family is no longer like home. He If you close your eyes again, the days of the boss and the third child will never be announced at all, right?

Thinking of this, the old man suddenly made a decision, opened his eyes and said to Ling Jinghong: "When Jinghan comes back tomorrow, you go to Yuehua Villa to find the second child, tell him that I can't do it, and want to see them for the last time, let the second child come back Kouzi and Jinghan came to see me."

He knows that his body has been emptied long ago, and he may not wake up at any time. For the sake of future generations, he has to sell his old face once. This is one of the reasons why he didn't let Ling Jingxuan come. In his opinion , The knot between him and the second child's family is on Ling Jingxuan, and Ling Jingxuan has a grudge because he kicked him out of the house in disregard of his ancestors and grandchildren. It is basically impossible to persuade him.

"Grandpa, you..."

Ling Jinghong has been with him since he was a child, how could he not guess what he was thinking? Originally, he wanted to persuade him, but he swallowed the words again, who made him his only weakness in this family, I just hope that the Lord will not be self-defeating.

On the other side of the upper room, the old woman who was also sick in the bed immediately vomited blood when she heard that Ling Jinghan had passed the scholar examination, and then became demented. Even so, she still cursed Ling Jingxuan's family in her mouth. How much resentment she felt towards them in her heart.

It has been a long time since there have been any scholars in the nearby villages. This time, there are two scholars from Lingjia Village, and one of them is the top student. This coke spoiled the villagers of Lingjia Village. Ling Jinghan and Ling Chenggui came back the next day. At that time, Li Zheng and the old patriarch personally led the villagers to meet them at the entrance of the village. Ling Jinghan, who didn't want to meet them face to face, had to get off the carriage.

"Jinghan, Chenggui, congratulations, you really gave us the face of the village head of the Ling family."

The moment he saw them, the old patriarch who was on a walking stick ran up to them with great strides, smiling happily with juicy folds all over his face, as if the two were his grandsons, Ling Chenggui was more shy, With a slightly blushing face, he politely called out to the old patriarch, while Ling Jinghan put his hands behind his back, slightly curled his lips and nodded, and it was over.

"It's a big event for our village that you both get admitted as a scholar at the same time. Let's go back and discuss how to do this running water mat. Lingjia Village hasn't seen such a scene in a long time. This time, no matter what, the running water mat will take three to five days to let the neighbors People from several villages came to see our two young talents."

As if he didn't see Ling Jinghan's impatience, the old patriarch enthusiastically pulled them along, followed by Li Zheng and the villagers who also nodded in agreement. Treating guests to a banquet made everyone happy. When Ling Jinghan was admitted to Tongsheng last year, he was supposed to treat guests. However, Ling Jingxuan said that Jinghan still had to prepare for the scholar exam. Thinking that the time for the provincial examination was really running out, they couldn't say it What, this time it's not just Ling Jinghan, even Ling Chenggui who passed the Tongsheng examination the year before last was admitted as a scholar, so they have no excuse to shirk, right? Can--

"Sorry, I'm not sure about the running water mat.

I need to discuss it with my parents and elder brother. I appreciate everyone's kindness. I haven't been home since yesterday. My parents must be worried. Forgive me for leaving first. "

Ignoring their excitement, Ling Jinghan pulled out the hand that was grabbed by the old patriarch, and after simply speaking, he climbed into the carriage with Yuan Shaoqi and Song Shuisheng. The old Song who was in charge of driving was also shrewd. , the carriage quickly drove towards the main road built by their house, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

The face of the old patriarch who was left behind was not to mention ugly, and Li Zheng and the villagers couldn't express the bitterness in their hearts. It is better to bully the white-bearded man than to bully the young and poor. When Ling Jingxuan had an accident, no one stood up to speak for them. When the Ling Wang family was murdered by Ling Chenghua, the facts were in front of them. The cursing has become harsh, now that they are wealthy and Ling Jinghan has been admitted as a scholar, it is no wonder that he will show his face to them.

Chapter 234 The old man is critically ill

The old lady of the Xiucai family vomited blood and was stupid. The old man couldn't hide it from the old man. The old man who planned to fight for the eldest and the third with his last breath couldn't get up. That night, every household in the village was talking about it. Regarding the matter of the two scholars, Ling Jinghan and Ling Jingxuan shut up in the room for most of the day after returning home, and did not come out until almost evening, and the Lizheng family was the same. He saw some flowers on his body.

"It's not good, second uncle, it's not good, my father is not good..."

When it was getting dark, Ling Chenghu, who had been silent for several months, suddenly stumbled into the yard of Lizheng's house, and Lizheng immediately groaned in his heart, thinking about the situation of his eldest brother in recent months, some bad speculation surfaced. In my heart, but then I thought, Jing Han and Cheng Gui just passed the news that he was not good, whether it is true or not, I am afraid that it will cause criticism, right? If it's true, others will definitely say that he doesn't want to see others well, and he will die when he hears that he is a scholar. Bar?

"Tell me slowly, what happened to him, brother?"

Whether it's true or not, he is both Li Zheng and his own younger brother, so it's impossible to really ignore him, Ling Qicai handed the little grandson in his arms to his old woman, got up and turned to Ling Chenghu, because Li Zheng's few All the daughters-in-law worked in Ling Jingxuan's factory and earned a lot of money every month. Seeing Ling Chenghu's arrival, they were all very happy, and all of them straightened their faces without any shyness.

"Second Uncle, hurry up and go take a look with me. Today, my mother suddenly vomited blood and became stupid. We wanted to hide it from my father, but who knew that he found out, and he passed out immediately. The doctor said, saying he I'm afraid it won't last."

Everyone is going to die, no matter how unfilial Ling Chenghu is, his mood is not much better. Ever since his daughter-in-law was forced away, he has completely understood that the second child's family has separated, and life is booming. Although everyone's daughter has been divorced, she still has some savings. He is the weakest in the third house and the youngest child. If the old man leaves now, the family's property will probably fall into the hands of the eldest brother and sister-in-law. Fang Fang's life would be even more difficult, so when he saw that his father was dying, he immediately ran to find his second uncle. With him around, the eldest couple would not dare to go too far.
