Beloved Husband

Zhou Song had enough food and drink, so he decided to go to the county town to find trouble with the Wei family.

He suffocated the fire, and there must be a place for the fire to vent. Wei's family is very good.

Of course, before that, he specially called Wei Lingxiu and asked: "Ling Xiu, would you like to adopt it to me?"

Wei Lingxiu was taken aback.

Zhou Song said: "If you stay in Wei's house, Wei's house can judge you. If you adopt it to me, there is no need to worry."

If Wei Lingxiu continues to stay at Wei's house, he will also be held in his hands by the Wei family.

For example, in the future, Wei Lingxiu will go to participate in the national examination, but the old lady Wei said that she is seriously ill and must take care of her. Cross out the name.

For another example, marrying a wife is a matchmaker's words of the parents' orders. If the Wei family has made a marriage appointment for Wei Lingxiu, Wei Lingxiu can only recognize it.

The dynasty ruled the country with filial piety, even if the father killed his son, the government would not control it.

"The Zhou family agrees?" Yan Jing asked. He already knows Zhou Song's situation. With Zhou Song's current status, it is not difficult for the Wei family to let go. However, in addition to getting the Wei family's consent, the Zhou family members also need to agree to adopt such a thing.

After all, this year, the adopted son is to be treated as a son.

"I'm in charge of the Zhou family now." Zhou Song said, briefly mentioning the Zhou family's situation.

Before Zhou Song's father was still there, he decided all the big and small things in the Zhou family.

He had many women and many children. At the time, Zhou's family was really in a mess, and Zhou Song and his sister's marriage was not as good as they wanted.

But last year, Zhou Song's father was accused of doing something that shouldn't be done, and then he fell ill in prison again, 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. They didn't take his wife when he was outside. For many years, the two had only two daughters and happened to have no son.

In recent years, his wife is about to be older, but she doesn't quarrel with him, but also wants to adopt a child. Originally, his choice was a young child without parents in the Zhou family. He had never thought about Wei Lingxiu, but now he felt that Wei Lingxiu could not be more suitable.

"I thought you were the son of Wei's father. Whether it's you or your father, you definitely don't want to. Now there is no obstacle." Zhou Song said.

"The Wei family..." Wei Lingxiu hesitated.

"They have to agree if they disagree!" Zhou Song said. Zhou Song was admitted to Jinshi in his twenties, and his ranking was average. After that, he stayed in Beijing for two years. When there was a vacancy, he was appointed as a county magistrate.

He did an excellent job in foreign affairs. By coincidence, he even caught up with Jinshang’s confidant and was able to serve his majesty and returned to the capital, but he could not make an inch in officialdom for a long time, because As a son, he cannot go beyond his father.

And his father, although he can't offend a family like the Wei family that doesn't even have a Jinshi, he is actually just a five-rank official.

Zhou Song had been constrained by his own family for many years, and naturally knew that the most urgent task was to help Wei Lingxiu solve Wei's family.

"I will be with Brother Yan in the future and will not get married." Wei Ling said.

"It's okay, I might have more children in the future." Zhou Song said, he is only thirty-six this year, and his wife is only thirty-two, so it may not be impossible to have children.

As for the matter between Yan Jingze 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, these two people will be able to adopt a few children, or else... if you take in a few more disciples, someone will be old-aged.

Wei Lingxiu and Yan Jing finally agreed.

They had talked about the Wei family a long time ago and felt that most of the Wei family would not let it go... Before, they planned to go out to study immediately and leave Donggu County for the time being-in this way, the Wei family would not be able to find them!

But going out to study is not so easy. Those who can't come back after going out these years do not know how many people are, and they will come back to take the imperial examination sooner or later. But what the Wei family really needs to do, maybe Wei Lingxiu will do it in the future. Missed the imperial examination.

Yan Jing didn't want Wei Lingxiu to be looked down upon by others.

As for Zhou Song...they didn't know Zhou Song, but after getting along, they could know that Zhou Song was not malicious towards Wei Lingxiu.

Zhou Song went to the Wei family for trouble. Wei Lingxiu must not go together on this matter, or even show up, so as not to lose a reputation for unfilial piety. In the end, it was Yan Jing who accompanied Zhou Song to the Wei family.

Zhou Song left two subordinates, and took the remaining two subordinates and the housekeeper Yan Jingze to the county town.

Most people in Xing'an Village didn’t know about Zhou Song’s visit to the village last night, but today they bought food in the village, but they have already let the villagers know that Zhou Song and the others exist. !

Yan Da is really promising now!

At this moment, everyone in Xing'an Village was looking at Yan Jingze from a distance.

At this time last year, this scene was still a gangster they were afraid of when they saw it, but now a year has passed...

"I didn't expect Yanda to be so smart!"

"The county magistrate praises him!"

"I heard that even the prefects praised him!"

"Old Yanjia's ancestral grave is smoking!"

...

"Yan Da has always had trouble since he was a child!"

"He's quite capable, with a dad like that, I thought he would starve to death, but he just grew up well."

"People in our village, he never fights! In fact, they are quite nice."

...

Of course, they also talked about Wei Lingxiu: "I heard that Young Master Wei had a bad time in Wei's house. The stepmother didn't want to see him, and now he is finally living a good life!"

"Following Yan Jingze, he even passed the exam for talents, how good."

"Yan Jing was really nice to him, and sent him to study!"

...

The villagers who had been worried that Yan Jing would fight Wei Lingxiu before, and felt that Wei Lingxiu was miserable, now envied Wei Lingxiu.

While chatting, someone saw his child running by like a mud monkey, and grabbed the child: "Smelly boy, why don't you go to school?"

"Father, not going to school today!" the boy said.

"You can endorse at home if you don't go to school! You must study hard, study like a word!"

The child who was sent to school by his father wanted to cry because Yan Jing was admitted as a talented student-Yan Da was really scary!

When Yan Jingze and Zhou Song went to the county seat, many people came from the Wei family.

Since Wei Lingxiu was admitted as a talent and Wei Lingyuan failed the ranking, the atmosphere of the Wei family has been very bad.

Wei Lingyuan was arrogant and couldn't bear being compared to his brother, who had been inferior to him. He hadn't eaten for two days and became ill.

Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wei felt distressed, but they hadn't coaxed Wei Lingyuan, and the elders in the Wei family's clan came to the door.

Wei's family is also a big family in Donggu County.

Wei Zhiyuan’s branch is the best developed in the clan, but the rest of the Wei family’s lives cannot be said to be bad, and the elderly in the clan have a lot of prestige.

"Before you said that Wei Lingxiu was not well-formed, did not learn and didn't know how to learn, what's this now?" An old man from the Wei family glared at the old lady Wei: "Wei Lingyuan didn't pass the exam! He passed it!" , A generation older than the old lady Wei, it was very rude to the old lady Wei.

There are also people of the same generation as Mrs. Wei, so it is not easy to accuse Mrs. Wei, so they go and say Mrs. Wei: "If you really are a stepmother, you don't care about the child. Ling Xiu is so smart, if you teach well, maybe you can be a Jinshi! This short-sighted woman actually drove people out!"

The old people in the Wei family's clan now only feel that both Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wei are not virtuous.

In a family, the more talented people, the better! Now in Donggu County, the Li family can suppress their Wei family everywhere, isn't it because there are so many people in the Li family?

They guard the family and work hard to run the clan school, don't they just want to have more talents in the clan?

That is, this family did not know what to think. Such an outstanding child had to rush out. A few days ago, they asked this family to take Wei Lingxiu back, and this family still pushed back.

They used to hear people say that Wei Lingxiu was playing things with fun, but now thinking about it, Wei Lingxiu actually didn't do anything. He didn't like eating, drinking and gambling, which means that young people like to play a little.

It doesn't matter if there is anything to say about it. At most, when marrying a daughter-in-law, the family can't be too high, and can only be chosen in a family that is not as good as the Wei family.

Mrs. Wei was said to have an ugly face. As for Mrs. Wei, there was no place for her to speak. She could only listen to her.

"Ling Xiu has returned to Donggu County. From Zhiyuan's family, you will 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 it?" Mrs. Wei frowned, "He is used to being an inch!"

"All the mothers have gone personally, is he willing?" The Wei family said.

Wei Lingxiu is a scholar, Mrs. Wei went to him in person and he refused to come back...Does he want fame?

Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wei looked at each other, but after all they suppressed their unhappiness and agreed.

"You can tell him another wife, although the remarks have been changed now, and they have become elders after being admitted to the show, but the two big men are not good to be together, Ling Xiu must get married soon!" There is another clan. Sophisticated.

Mrs. Wei was a little unhappy when she heard this.

Although Wei's family had some property, no one in his ancestors passed the Jinshi exam, so his family business was just like that.

In the early years, Wei Zhiyuan wanted to be admitted to the Jinshi, so he went to the capital every two or three years... The expenses on this journey and the expenses in the capital were a lot!

If Wei Lingxiu's mother hadn't left a lot of dowry, and Wei Lingxiu's uncle would still give New Year gifts every year, and their family was afraid that they would sell land, then it would be really... ashamed!

Now if Wei Lingxiu wants to get married, how much will it cost? The family has to repair his yard... She wants to leave all the money to her son.

Although Mrs. Wei was depressed, she did not dare to speak, but the old Mrs. Wei said, "You also know that the family has been sad for the past few years..."

"Then choose a girl from a merchant house." The Wei family said: "Ling Xiu is young, so someone will want to!"

Merchants have a low status. If they can't rely on a certain official, their property will be swallowed accidentally.

However, ordinary merchants cannot find anyone to rely on.

They will think of other things, such as letting their daughter take a lot of money to be concubines to officials, or marrying their daughter to a talented talent-if this talent will achieve something in the future, their family will also get a lot. benefit.

At this moment, Mrs. Wei turned the corner.

If you think about it carefully, that's not bad.

When Na Wei Lingxiu returned to Wei's house, she naturally let her know. As for Wei Lingxiu's wife... a daughter-in-law, what the mother-in-law and grandmother-in-law said should always be heard.

There are not many people in this world like Wei Lingxiu's mother!

Mrs. Wei became proud for a while.

They were talking when someone came in suddenly outside: "Old lady! The magistrate is here!"

The county magistrate was just a petty official, but no one in the Wei family dared to look down upon him and went out to greet him. As a result, they saw someone walking in front of the county magistrate Zhu.

The man was in his thirties and looked very gentle, but when the Wei family saw him, their hearts jumped. The old lady Wei, who was originally smiling, almost didn't come up.

This person came here more than ten years ago, and had a big deal at the time. The old lady Wei has always remembered this hatred, and never thought he would come again!

Moreover, this person was just released more than ten years ago, just to be a county magistrate, but now...

County magistrate Zhu actually fell behind this person!

This... didn't it mean that this person was demoted? Why does it appear here?

The old lady Wei paled, and suddenly remembered that this person had sent a letter a few days ago.

She was illiterate and didn't want to talk to this person, so she burned the letter, and now...

When Mrs. Wei saw Zhou Song, her face turned pale.

Zhou Song looked at Mrs. Wei, but he let out a soft voice.

Yan Jing immediately discovered that Mrs. Wei's face was not only green, but even turned black, which was very interesting.

What's more interesting is that when Zhou Song explained his identity, whether it was the elders of the Wei family or the old lady, they all had to smile.

Of course, Mrs. Wei's smiling face... is almost distorted.

The old lady Wei was in a hurry, and someone came again, this time it was Wei Zhiyuan.

Wei Zhiyuan has been teaching in Fucheng. It would take a long time to go home even by boat, and it would take a long time to go back and forth. It was very inconvenient to go back and forth, so he didn't come back much.

And this time he came back for Zhou Song's business.

Before Wei Lingxiu passed the exam, everyone around him congratulated him. Some people heard that Wei Lingxiu and Yan Jing were good friends, and they also asked him for the words Yan Jing Ze...

He was irritated by these people and wanted to go home. After learning a news accidentally, he was even more shocked and hurried home immediately-he learned that Zhou Song had become a student of the Nanzhou House next door.

Today, Xuezheng is often appointed in July and August, and then Xuezheng immediately goes to various cities and presides over the college examination.

He already knew who the Xuezheng in their palace was, but he hadn't heard about who the Xuezheng in the nearby palace was. He didn't need to know who those Xuezheng was beyond his control.

As a result, the academic politics of Nanzhou Prefecture turned out to be Zhou Song?

Did something happen to Zhou's family? Why did Zhou Song become a school administrator? Are you out of Beijing?

Wei Zhiyuan was shocked and went home quickly. As soon as he went home, he saw Zhou Song and stayed on the spot, shaking all over.

Okay, big guys, all are here.

Although Yan Jingze had contacted several officials before, he only talked about calligraphy and learning with people, and never talked about other things. Today, following Zhou Song, he discovered that being an official is really not easy.

Of course it is not difficult.

Even, he kind of likes this feeling of being in power.

Both Yan Jingze and Wei Lingxiu were just talents, and there was nothing to do with the Wei family, but Zhou Song was different. He even suppressed the fight and completely suppressed the Wei family. Wei Lingxiu's adoption was quickly negotiated.

At this time, there are regulations that the woman’s dowry belongs to the woman, and the husband’s family cannot use the woman’s consent.

However, if the woman dies, her family cannot claim the dowry. The law clearly stipulates that even though the wife is dead, all assets and slaves cannot be pursued by the wife's family.

But even so, there are rules, that is, a woman's dowry must be inherited by her children or the heirs she chooses.

The Wei family spent Wei Lingxiu's mother's dowry, and Zhou Song also held the handle.

Of course, the most important thing is Zhou Song's power.

Yan Jing actually felt that it was too cheap to defend the family, but at this moment, he couldn't do too much...If he wanted to make the Wei family unlucky, it's better to become stronger.

When he becomes stronger, without him taking action, the Wei family will naturally get worse.

The matter of Wei Lingxiu's adoption was completed in a very short time. Of course, because the Zhou Family Ancestral Hall was in the capital, he was not written on 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, but Wei Lingxiu and Yan Jing did not follow him to Nanzhou.

They were born and raised here, and decided to still live here—they just made love, and if two of them live together, it is the day of the gods.

They sent Zhou Song away, no outsiders were in the house, Yan Jing and Wei Lingxiu had no choice but to close the door, and I went to the neighborhood to buy some food and go home.

Yan Jing also went out specially to see his mother.

The original owner’s mother has remarried. At this time, in the legal sense, it has nothing to do with him and does not need him to support him. However, it is the person who gave birth to this body. Yan Jing still hopes this woman. If he was able to live well, he went over this time and gave the woman some money, and then asked the woman to send her family's children to study and know a few words.

It is not easy for an ordinary farmer to give up a talent, but if you can read the words and learn how to settle the accounts, it will also help them to live better.

After handling his mother's affairs, Yan Jing continued to read books and began to read books on the law.

After going to Wei's house with Zhou Song, he felt that the knowledge of the law was very useful, so he went to the Wei's bookstore to borrow a book to read.

Yan Jing read all the law books once, and he has memorized it backwards, and still likes it very much, so...

Wei Lingxiu got up that morning, and kissed Jingjing and said, "May I be like a star, like a moon, with bright and bright nights."

Yan Jing kissed him back, but he also subconsciously asked: "Who is to punish a person with one tooth and one finger to sting someone?" Compared to those poems, he really felt that the law should be learned... …In the future, it will be useful to be an official or something outside.

Wei Lingxiu: "..." He endured it!

At noon, Wei Lingxiu was cooking and hiding a red bean in the meal. As a result, Yan Jing ate half a bowl of rice in one bite. He didn't notice that he didn't even say anything. He ate and asked: "Fan demolishes the Shenming Pavilion house. And the one who destroyed the board, how many rods?"

Wei Lingxiu: "..." He still endured it!

After dinner, the two read books together, and Wei Lingxiu suddenly became interested: "Brother Yan, I'll give you a picture?" He has learned painting. Although his skills are not good, he can paint at will.

"Okay, when you paint, I will endorse it to you, and you will familiarize yourself with the law... Where military and civilian lawsuits are created, they should be applied instead of being reported..." Even if there is no sentence in the law, he I can recite!

Wei Lingxiu: "..." He suddenly wanted to hit someone!

However, Wei Lingxiu still endured it.

However, what he didn't expect was that that night, when the two of them were lying in a blanket, Yan Jing asked him: "How many times are people who scold someone? Really... I didn't expect that the punishment for swearing would be so heavy."

Wei Lingxiu couldn't bear it. He didn't need to bear it any more. He immediately grasped the key point of Yan Jingze and sneered: "I will scold you now. Do you want to slap me?"
