"No!"

"Qi Tingye is truly blessed!"

……

Xu Chuzhi couldn't listen anymore, shock, disappointment, panic, grievance...all kinds of emotions flooded into his heart, and finally all turned into anger.

He strode forward, ignoring the shouts behind him: "Xiu Cai, your book has been dropped."

Xu Chuzhi rushed directly into the backyard, but he originally thought that he would run into the scene where Meng Zezhi and the actor Qingqing me, but what he didn't expect was that Meng Zezhi was leading his servants to install an archery target in the corner .

Xu was timid, but Xu Chuzhi's rationality slowly came back, and his pace also slowed down.

Then, a sense of confusion and bitterness suddenly surged in his heart.

Where should he stand to accuse Meng Zezhi of what he did.

What qualifications does he have to accuse Meng Zezhi of what he has done.

Meng Zezhi also turned his head at this moment.

He waved his hand immediately, signaling the servants to step back.

Then he said to Xu Chuzhi: "Why, you are willing to come to see me."

Xu Chuzhi stood under the eaves without speaking, but the bitter wind and rain around him almost turned into reality.

Meng Zezhi had no choice but to say, "Come here."

The corners of Xu Chuzhi's lips twitched and twitched, but finally he walked over.

Meng Zezhi: "I heard that you only got a B in the archery test of the year, so I specially set up an archery target for you in the yard. When you have time, you can come and practice."

Xu Chuzhi clenched the hand hanging by his side.

what is this?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Meng Zezhi had no choice but to put the bow and arrow into his hand: "Try it."

The more Xu Chuzhi thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became, and he was completely immersed in his own world. Hearing Meng Zezhi's words, he raised his bow and set his arrows like a puppet controlled by /.

But at this moment, Meng Zezhi suddenly said: "Actually, that actor is an old friend of my father's family, and he happened to meet him, so he was redeemed."

"what?"

Hearing this, Xu Chuzhi suddenly turned his head.

Then he froze.

Because from Meng Zezhi's eyes, he saw his current appearance, his eyes were slightly widened, his cheeks were flushed, and the disbelief on his face instantly decomposed into shock, rejoicing, and secret joy...

Xu Chuzhi never knew that there could be so many emotions on his face.

He was actually happy that Meng Zezhi and that actor didn't have a beginning or end?

At this moment, the clouds and mist cleared away, and he finally knew that something was wrong with him.Thinking of this, he shook his hand, and the arrow in his hand shot out directly, and then nailed straight to the wooden stick supporting the target.

Seeing this, Meng Zezhi immediately said, "Your archery skills are really average."

Then he held Xu Chuzhi's hand confidently and said, "Come on, I'll teach you!"

Meng Zezhi suddenly bullied him, Xu Chuzhi panicked, and subconsciously took a step back, but at this moment, Meng Zezhi also happened to walk behind him.

So Xu Chuzhi retreated directly into Meng Zezhi's arms.

There is no reason not to take advantage of the cheapness of door-to-door delivery.

So Meng Zezhi immediately put his arms around Xu Chuzhi's waist, and directly killed Xu Chuzhi's attempt to jump out in the cradle.

The breath of a mature man enveloped him in an instant, an unprecedented feeling rushed from the soles of his feet to the cerebral cortex, every drop of blood in every body was boiling, and Xu Chuzhi was almost out of breath.

Feeling Meng Zezhi's strong heartbeat behind him, as well as his own beating heart, Xu Chuzhi clearly realized that he fell in love with Meng Zezhi.

How can this be?

How long has he known Meng Zezhi?

Just because Meng Zezhi flirted with him all day long?

But this happens to be the truth!

Xu Chuzhi felt that he was probably really crazy.

Then Meng Zezhi pursed his lips and said, "Don't look at me, look at the target in front of you."

Xu Chuzhi came back to his senses in an instant, but turned his head hastily with a look of embarrassment behind him.

Meng Zezhi patted his buttocks, and squeezed his buttocks: "Keep your body upright..."

Xu Chuzhi: "..."

Butt up to blame me myself.

...It seems that he is really to blame, after all, this is his body.

What can Xu Chuzhi do?

All he could do was let Meng Zezhi touch him, and his ears turned red by the way.

Meng Zezhi continued: "...feet parallel, shoulder width apart, chest slightly in, and ribs pressed tightly, right now..."

Unexpectedly, in the next second, as if he had discovered something, Meng Zezhi suddenly manipulated Xu Chuzhi's bow-holding hand to lift slightly upwards.

In the next second, the arrow shot out quickly, flew directly out of the wall, and disappeared from the sight of the two.

Xu Chuzhi: "..."

Xu Chuzhi's gaze fell on the arrow nailed to the wooden stick under the archery target, which he shot just now.

Then he looked again at the empty enclosure.

In other words, Meng Zezhi's archery skills are actually inferior to his.

However, Meng Zezhi dared to claim to teach him archery in a high-sounding manner.

One can imagine what kind of idea Meng Zezhi was playing.Xu Chuzhi secretly couldn't help but spurn Meng Zezhi.

Then the ears turned redder.

Sure enough, I heard Meng Zezhi say: "It's okay, it's just a mistake for a while, let's continue."

After speaking, he drew another arrow.

But what Xu Chuzhi didn't expect was that Meng Zezhi was more than shy, his skin was thicker than the hand he put on his lap, so in the next dozen or so test shots, none of them could hit the red heart. , and every time he test-fires, Meng Zezhi has to repeat the previous steps, which can be regarded as a model of making progress.

But what Xu Chuzhi also did not expect was that just when he felt like drinking honey in his heart, the first arrow shot by Meng Zezhi had pierced through the sky and appeared on the border of the capital, and then hit an arrow. Homing pigeons trying to fly south.

There was only a snap, and the carrier pigeon fell directly into the rushing river, and was swallowed by the river in an instant.

What Xu Chuzhi didn't expect was that at the same time, on the corridor, the expression on the face of Xu's mother who was about to deliver chicken soup to Meng Zezhi froze.

She looked at the two people who were almost hugging each other in the yard, as if she understood something, she suddenly covered her mouth and her eyes turned red.

The next day, Meng Zezhi spent 5000 taels of silver to buy the actor Song Sheng and died suddenly, and then he had a bookboy named Liang Shengshen by his side.

Then, Xu Chuzhi and others should set off to Jinan Prefecture to take the township examination.

As for the three of Zhao Huanwen, they had all been admitted as scholar as early as last year.

Thinking that he would not see Meng Zezhi for the next half month, Xu Chuzhi felt a little depressed.

But which way Xu Chuzhi's buttocks turned, Meng Zezhi knew what was on his mind.

So he immediately dismissed Tan Zheng and the others, and then said: "It's not easy, you can take a portrait of me to the exam, if you miss me anytime, take out my portrait and have a look. "

Xu Chuzhi couldn't help being moved, anyway, isn't it normal for this matter to be left between lovers?

Fortunately, his drawing skills are not bad.

Thinking of this, Xu Chuzhi covered his mouth and coughed lightly: "Okay."

After speaking, he walked quickly to the desk.

Meng Zezhi also laughed.

Then he directly moved a stool to the open space in front of the desk.

Unexpectedly, when Xu Chuzhi arranged the pen, ink, paper and inkstone with great interest, he looked up and saw Meng Zezhi taking off his clothes.

Xu Chuzhi: "..."

Xu Chuzhi suddenly felt dry mouth, he stammered: "You, what are you doing?"

While Meng Zezhi looked at him, he pulled out his belt and threw it casually, which happened to be thrown on the drawing paper.

"I'll be a model for you, so that you can copy the picture!"

Xu Chuzhi didn't know what "model" meant, but he could still understand the latter sentence.

But in fact, he would rather not understand that sentence.

How could Xu Chuzhi not know that Meng Zezhi was taking the opportunity to tease him again, and in a fit of embarrassment, he grabbed the writing brush in his hand and threw it at Meng Zezhi, before running away.

But Meng Ze knew how he would miss such a good opportunity.

He touched the ink stain on his chest, glanced at the back of Xu Chuzhi who was fleeing in a panic, and smiled.

Then he bent down to pick up the writing brush that fell on the ground, and walked towards the desk.

So the next morning, when Xu Chuzhi checked his luggage, he found that there was an extra piece of drawing paper in the luggage.

"Ok?"

He picked up the drawing paper and unfolded it, only to see that on the drawing paper, Meng Zezhi's robe was half-removed, with an ink stain dotted on his chest.

The point is, this painting is one stroke at a time, and it couldn't be more realistic.

boom!

Xu Chuzhi's face directly turned into a steam engine.

He, how dare he?

Shameless, obscene, gentle and sweeping...

Then Xu Chuzhi glanced furtively at the lower part of the portrait.

Then his face turned even redder.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Xu's mother's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Chu Zhi, have you packed up, it's time to go."

Xu Chuzhi's complexion changed, and he hurriedly folded the portrait and stuffed it into the baggage.

Mother Xu, who happened to see this scene, was taken aback for a moment, then her eyes fell on Xu Chuzhi's flushed face, and her complexion changed accordingly.

Only then did Xu Chuzhi clear his throat, and said, "Okay, okay."

Xu's mother also reacted, she glanced at Xu Chuzhi's burden, her heart sank again, but she didn't show it on her face, she patted Xu Chuzhi's head: "Take the exam well, mother is waiting for your title on the gold list."

Xu Chuzhi smiled: "Okay."

Meng Zezhi didn't go to see them off, after all, his current identity was still in opposition to Tan Zheng and the others.

When Xu Chuzhi left, Meng Zezhi no longer wanted to wander around the state school, so he simply said he was sick at home and stayed behind closed doors.

On the ninth day of August, the township examination begins.

At the gate of the Gongyuan, Xu Chuzhi bid farewell to the students from the state school: "My little brother is here to congratulate you in advance for your success in the Toad Palace and your titles on the gold list."

Then he raised the test basket, and when his eyes touched Tan Zheng and others not far away, he exchanged a blessing look in a calm manner.

roll call, signing, inspection, roll call and admission...

At three o'clock, the exam officially began.

In the first round of the rural examination, there are four books and three essays, one five-character eight-rhyme poem, and four classics and meanings.

As soon as the test questions were distributed, Xu Chuzhi knew it all.

But even though there are thousands of excellent problem-solving methods in mind, Xu Chuzhi is not going to use them, because they only want to be stable and moderate in this exam.

Because they can't do well in the exam, otherwise it will be too eye-catching.

Nine days later, the rural examination ended.

Because it takes a lot of time to mark the papers, the results of the township examination are generally not released until around October.

So after the exam, Xu Chuzhi and others returned to Wuding Prefecture.

The next day, the news that the three princes conspired against each other and were finally killed by King Song's former department spread throughout Daqian.

Capital, Huai'an Marquis Mansion.

"how is this possible?"

"We, haven't we already sent a good letter to the Crown Prince, why is the Crown Prince still fooled?"

The second child, Qi Jian, turned around anxiously.

Because just now, the imperial guards surrounded Huai'an Hou's Mansion and Yongcheng Hou's Mansion.

"Don't panic."

After so many days, the old Mrs. Huai'an Hou who seemed crazy when she was reborn has already calmed down.

Hearing this, Qi Jianjing thumped his palms and looked at the old Mrs. Huai'anhou who was sitting on the chair: "Mother, can I not be in a hurry, Caishikou must have been bleeding like a river?"

Thinking of this, Qi Jianjing couldn't help cursing: "Also, mother, are you crazy? Why did you help the prince rebel?"

In fact, before that, Qi Jianjing didn't know at all that the old Mrs. Huai'an Hou, Qi Jianxian and Qi Tingyi were actually involved in this kind of thing.

"shut up."

"Father, stop talking."

The voices of the old Mrs. Hou Huai'an and Qi Tingyi rang out almost at the same time.

The old Mrs. Huai'an Marquis was very weak, and she was the one who gave birth to her. Although the boss, Qi Jianxian, was not good at studying, he was at least smart. After inheriting the title of Marquis of Huai'an, he has been advising the prince and making a lot of contributions.

As for Qi Jianjing, although like Qi Jianxian, he can't read books, but the key is that his brain is not good enough. He has been an official for more than ten years with the support of Huai'an Marquis Mansion and Yongcheng Marquis Mansion, but he is still a small man. Wailang, a member of the fifth-class etiquette department, and there will be troubles every now and then, either offending his superiors and colleagues or doing something wrong, and the two governments have to wipe his ass.

Otherwise, they could hide such a big matter from Qi Jianjing.

As expected, everything has come to this point, and Qi Jianjing still hasn't figured out the most obvious key point.

Qi Tingyi could only explain to him in detail: "Father, think about it, we have already boarded the prince's boat, and the prince is determined to rebel, do we dare not agree?"

Qi Jianjing thought about it, yes.

If they refused, and if the prince failed, as former princes/children, the emperor would not be able to spare them. Even if they succeeded, the prince would only think that they were timid and useless, and he would not let them go.

That being the case, it is better to fight with the prince.

The most important thing is that they also want to make a contribution from the dragon.

Just like Qi Jianzhong back then.

One family and two lords sound beautiful, but isn't it more beautiful to have two men of one family!

It's just that these words can't be more ironic than saying them now.

Because they failed.

So Qi Tingyi kept his mouth shut.

The old Mrs. Hou Huai'an immediately pointed at Qi Jianjing and said, "You, if you think about things more in the future, you won't be so restless."

Qi Jianjing saw the hatred on the face of the old Mrs. Hou Huai'an, but he was not angry because he also knew that he was indeed inferior to Qi Jianxian.

And although he hated Qi Jianxian very much——after all, he was also a son of the eldest son, because he was born two years late, and he could only live on Qi Jianxian's breath in the future. Fang grabbed Qi Jianzhong's title of Marquis of Zhongyong, but helped him adopt his son Qi Tingyi to Qi Jianzhong, and later helped them settle Qi Ting's business, so Qi Jianjing didn't hate Qi Jianxian anymore.

So he just said: "But I still have a good son."

You must know that today's Qi Tingyi, apart from having the title of Marquis of Yongcheng on his body, is already a fourth-rank right-handed censor at a young age.

Even at Qi Jianxian's age, he might not be as promising as Qi Tingyi.

This is true.

The old Mrs. Huai'an Hou glanced at Qi Tingyi and couldn't help but sigh.

Fortunately, Erfang's bad bamboo came out of Qi Tingyi's good bamboo, otherwise she would have been pissed off by Qi Jianjing's stupidity.

At this moment, Qi Jianjing came to his senses, and he broke down a bit: "No, mother, what's the use of talking about it now, our family is going to end."

The old Huai'an Hou Madam also came back to her senses, and said with a gloomy face: "It can't be finished."

Qi Jianjing's eyes lit up: "How to say?"

After all, in his eyes, the old Mrs. Hou Huai'an is the magic needle in the family.

The old Mrs. Hou Huai'an: "Because the prince is dead, and the prince's henchmen have been killed by the old subordinates of the king of Song. The remaining shrimp soldiers and crab generals have conclusive evidence to prove that our family is also involved in this matter. Almost No."

I can only be thankful that they are civil servants and don't have to go to the battlefield, so they all saved their lives.

Qi Jianjing was surprised: "How do you know?"

After all, as soon as the rebellion subsided, the two prefectures were besieged by the imperial guards, so they had no time and opportunity to inquire about the situation outside.

"And you forgot, most of the prince's military expenses are raised by the boss."

Qi Jianxian is currently patrolling salt in the Lianghuai River, and the military expenditure for the prince was embezzled from the Lianghuai salt tax, so it would cost six to seven million taels of silver.

That is of course because they escaped the liquidation presided over by the cabinet in this way in their previous life.

But these old Huai'an Hou Madams certainly wouldn't tell other people.

As for the matter of military expenses, it can only be done again according to the solution of the previous life.

Old Mrs. Huai'an Hou: "So this matter must be erased, so we have to pay to fill in this loophole. The Huai'an government should be able to come up with 30 taels of silver. I still have a lot in my private treasury. If you sell all the antique treasures, you should be able to raise another 15 taels. We still have so many in-laws in our family. It should not be a problem to borrow 10 taels of silver. It should not be a problem to take out 15 taels of silver from the big house. There is a gap of 15 taels of silver..."

After all, it is the Zanying family that has been passed down for several generations, so there is still some family background.

Qi Tingyi immediately said: "I will pay the rest of the money."

Although Yongcheng Hou's family is poor and far inferior to Huai'an Hou's, at least Qi Yongzhong's family wealth has fallen into his hands.

What's more, in the past two years, for Qi Yongzhong's sake, the palace has never been stingy with rewards, so he can still get this little money.

Hearing this, Qi Jianjing only felt a pain in the flesh.

Because the old Mrs. Hou Huai'an has not passed away, he has not yet separated from Qi Jianxian.

This also means that counting the money paid by Qi Tingyi, at least half of the 85 taels of silver was paid by their second wife.

However, Qi Jianjing couldn't object, not only because it was a matter of life and death for the Qi family, but also because his son Qi Tingyi was also involved in this matter.

In fact, the old Mrs. Huai'an Hou also felt distressed.

She originally thought that she could turn the tide.

But I never expected that people are not as good as heaven, and things finally came to this point.

Since the rebellion still happened, it can only mean that the letter was never sent to the prince.

Both she and Qi Jianjing suspected that it was because the pigeon made a mistake on the way to deliver the letter.

But fortunately, there is still room for reversal.

It's just that the little bastard Qi Tingye is cheaper.

Old Mrs. Huai'an Hou: "Send someone to chase back those killers who went to assassinate Qi Tingye."

Qi Tingyi immediately realized: "Yes."

After speaking, he hurried away.

Only Qi Jianjing didn't understand why the old Mrs. Huai'an Hou did this: "What?"

He didn't expect that Qi Tingye was still alive.

When the old Mrs. Hou Huai'an was going to send someone to get rid of him, he agreed very much. After all, Qi Tingye knew too much, so it would be better to die.

Anyway, it has been more than two years, most people in the capital probably have forgotten the existence of Qi Tingye.

The old Huai'an Hou's face was gloomy: "Because he is the life-saving talisman of our Qi family now."

Qi Jianjing was even more confused: "Just him?"

The old Huaian Hou Madam took a deep breath.

Now the emperor is seriously injured and comatose, so the cabinet has to preside over the internal and external affairs of the court.

Because of this, they had the opportunity to hide the truth and do so many tricks.

But although they escaped the liquidation of the cabinet, when the third prince reacted, he would definitely not let them go.

Don't forget, the third prince and the second prince are from the same mother.

And they are the prince's party, and in the past they often charged into battle for the prince to persecute the second prince.

But now, the third prince, as the only remaining prince under his knees, is a surefire next emperor, and he is also a stingy dude. It is a breeze for the other party to kill their Qi family.

But if Qi Tingye is still there, it will be different.

Because three years ago, when King Song conspired against him, it was Qi Jianzhong who tried his best to block the knife for the present sage, so that the present sage was unscathed.

But this time, the crown prince conspired against him, and the former Ministry of the King of Song took the opportunity to rebel, but there was no one to shield him from the sword. This caused him to be seriously injured, almost died, and even died several times later.

Does this make the current Holy Majesty not think of Qi Jianzhong who blocked the knife for him back then?

So after he woke up, the first thing he did was to call Qi Tingye back to Beijing.

After all, Qi Tingye is Qi Jianzhong's real flesh and blood, even if the Qi family adopted Qi Tingyi to Qi Jianzhong, there is a layer of separation in the heart of the current Holy Spirit.

So as long as Qi Tingye is around, the emperor will definitely protect the Qi family for Qi Jianzhong's sake.

In this way, they have enough time to find another way out.

And Qi Jianjing's brain finally had a flash: "But if this happens, the emperor will definitely summon Qi Tingye, and once Qi Tingye has the opportunity to meet the Holy Majesty, he will definitely reveal everything we have done. "

"Don't worry, he doesn't have that good luck now."

The old Mrs. Hou Huai'an said with a sneer: "The emperor is already old, and he suffered such a serious injury. In addition, three sons died at once, leaving only one third prince who knows nothing about politics. The envoys are about to arrive, if they find out that Dagan is in a precarious state, those envoys will think so..."

Therefore, the emperor could only support the body to receive these envoys, and at the same time teach the third prince, there was no time to heal his injuries.

But after sending off the embassy, ​​it is the New Year's Day, and the New Year's Eve is the Queen Mother's Longevity Day, as well as the three-year scientific examination...

In the previous life, until June next year, the emperor's health was always up and down. He spent at least half a month lying in bed. At first, he occasionally asked about Qi Tingye's situation, but he really didn't have time to see him. .

Later, because the Qi family helped the third prince to complete several incidents and escaped the emperor's punishment, the third prince finally changed his attitude towards them, so no one dared to remind the emperor that there was another Qi Tingye waiting to see him he.

But Qi Tingye is not stupid. He also guessed that the Qi family will rely on him to save his life in a short time, so not only will he not attack him, but he will do his best to protect him. Therefore, before entering Beijing, he followed people along the way in the name of the Qi family. Borrowed a large sum of money, and after entering Beijing, he used the money to order people to hide the name of the creator of his poems and articles and spread them to the world. Several young men escaped.

It's also their fault for being careless. At the beginning, the current emperor was grateful for Qi Jianzhong's contribution to the dragon, and once rewarded Qi Tingye with a jade pendant. Later, Qi Jianxian sent someone to take away Qi Tingye's family wealth, and this jade pendant naturally fell into Qi Tingyi's hands.

They originally thought that Qi Tingye would surely die, so they didn't take it to heart, and gradually forgot the origin of this jade pendant.

Later, Qi Tingyi transferred the jade pendant to Qi Tingwen, Qi Jianxian's eldest son.

As a result, Qi Tingye happened to see Qi Tingwen wearing this jade pendant...

Therefore, after Qi Tingye escaped from the Qi family, he found a censor who was an honest and honest official at that time. After proving that he was indeed the creator of those poems and articles, the censor was filled with righteous indignation, and even if he united more than ten Hanlin , broke through the obstruction of the third prince, and sent him to the current Holy Master.

Knowing the truth of the matter, the current emperor was furious.

And that jade pendant also became the key to the destruction of the Qi family.

Afterwards, apart from Qi Tingye, the Qi family, since Qi Jianxian, punished the three clans, and within the five clans, all the males were exiled to the border, and the females were sent to Jiaofangsi.

Thinking of this, old Mrs. Hou Huai'an's heart began to bleed.

One must know that the oldest of her great-grandchildren was only two years old.

As for Qi Tingye, out of guilt, the emperor not only rewarded him with all the wealth of the Qi family, but also let him inherit the Marquis of Yongcheng, adding hereditary succession.

But she calmed down quickly.

Because she was reborn, in this life, she must make Qi Tingye die badly.

So as soon as Qi Tingyi came back, the old Mrs. Huai'an Hou ordered him to immediately clean up all the things related to Qi Tingye in his mansion, as well as those servant girls who were sent out by Qi Tingyi to take away Qi Tingye's belongings. Be sure not to leave anything alive.

Then she sneered, now, she wants to see what tricks Qi Tingye can pull off.

On the other side, Wuding Prefecture.

Tan Zheng and others were worried: "How could such a thing happen suddenly?"

"The third prince has always been stubborn, if the big work is handed over to him, I'm afraid..."

"However, the family members of the three princes were also slaughtered by the former Ministry of King Song. Otherwise, even a young grandson would be fine."

……

Meng Zezhi didn't participate in the discussion because he was the culprit of the whole thing, and because he remembered the original plot.

If the old Mrs. Huai'an Marquis hadn't been reborn, even though her previous body was in poor health, after inheriting the title of Marquis of Yongcheng, she would at least live to be 40 years old without worrying about food and clothing. You must know that people in many impoverished areas in ancient times might not be able to live to 40 years old. Woolen cloth.

But the old Huai'an Hou Madam was reborn.

After she was reborn, she used the memories of her previous life to send people to closely monitor her predecessor's whereabouts and destroy her predecessor's revenge plan, while speeding up the pace of currying favor with the third prince.

In the end, the predecessor was desperate, so he had to beat the Dengwen drum, because the Dengwen drum was the emperor's drum.

According to the "Law of the Great Qiang", drums are not allowed unless the enemy soldiers besiege the city, the prince is driven to death, or the people have grievances.

Fan Deng heard the drum beating, no matter what the emperor was doing, he had to go to court.

This is the only chance for the predecessor to meet the emperor.

But what he didn't know was that just as he was beating the Dengwen drum, the emperor had already passed away.

And the Dengwen drum can't be played casually. There is a regulation in the "Daganlu".

The body of the predecessor had already collapsed. Thirty court rods might kill him, but he still gambled.

The most important thing is that if he died, maybe the emperor would realize that he had indeed been wronged, and then pursue this matter and avenge his injustice.

But when the prisoner became Qi Tingyi, the predecessor knew that he lost the bet.

Not only that, I'm afraid that he was able to escape from the Qi family at that time, and the Qi family did it on purpose.

In the end, the thirty court rods were only half hit, and the predecessor died, and he died with regret.

So the predecessor has only one wish, and that is to help him avenge.

So Meng Zezhi shot the carrier pigeon to death not only to destroy the plan of the old Mrs. Hou Huai'an, but also to let the three princes get what they deserved.

After all, they were meant to die.

What's more, if it weren't for Qi Jianzhong, the current emperor would have died long ago.

So why in the end, when everyone sees loyalty and cuts off their children and grandchildren, the current emperor can have a lot of children and grandchildren.

Because if you think about it carefully, the Qi family is certainly the chief culprit who killed your predecessor, but the current emperor is also to blame.

If it hadn't been for him to listen to and believe, without checking the facts, he directly believed that the predecessor had cheated in the imperial examination, and the predecessor would not have ended up like that.

To say something that is no exaggeration, if it is not for the sake of the current emperor's succession to govern the world in peace-for example, this time, after such a big thing, the nomads outside the customs are still Not daring to act rashly, Meng Ze knew that he was no longer in Wuding Prefecture, but was building a cottage on a hilltop in a poor mountain, recruiting refugees, accumulating food, and slowly becoming king.

Meng Zezhi only said: "There is nothing to worry about. There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain."

"Okay, you should be tired after driving for so many days, go back and rest!"

Tan Zheng and the others stood up: "Yes, the student will leave."

Xu Chuzhi dawdled at the end.

When the footsteps of Tan Zheng and the others completely disappeared, he whispered, "I'll go back and take a shower first."

After all, I had been traveling for several days.

Meng Zezhi's eyes lit up: "Don't, just wash at my place. I just got a new bathtub yesterday, and you can wash with two of you!"

Hearing this, Xu Chu subconsciously followed Meng Zezhi's words and couldn't help blushing his ears: "Bah."

After speaking, he walked out quickly, as if something was chasing him behind him.

Seeing his shy look, Meng Zezhi felt even better.

Hearing the laughter from behind, Xu Chuzhi's face became even redder.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he found Xu's mother sitting in his room.

Xu Chuzhi quickly suppressed the dryness in his heart, pretending to be normal, and said, "Mother."

Mother Xu held a brocade handkerchief and a pouch in her hand, and smiled: "At first, come and see, this is the double-sided embroidery that I learned from the cook."

Xu Chuzhi walked over and saw that peonies were embroidered on the brocade handkerchief, and mandarin ducks were playing in the purse. He touched the pair of mandarin ducks: "It's so beautiful."

Then he raised his head: "Mother, your embroidery is better."

Xu's mother only said: "I went to the embroidery workshop in the morning and asked, and the shopkeeper said, if the embroidery workshop accepts such embroidery, the brocade handkerchief is [-] Wen, and the purse is [-] Wen."

The price is more than three times that of the ordinary embroidery made by Xu's mother before, but it requires more energy.

"Calculated in this way, mother will be able to earn four taels of silver every month in the future."

Xu Chuzhi heard this, and immediately said: "Mother, if there are no accidents, my son should be able to pass the Juren in the current provincial examination. If I continue to take the imperial examination, the imperial court will pay the travel expenses, so mother, You don't have to work so hard in the future."

Xu's mother said, "How can this be done? You forgot that we still owe Mr. Qi more than 100 taels of silver."

Xu Chuzhi froze for a moment, feeling a little uneasy suddenly.

Xu's mother continued: "You don't know yet, your father...Xu Yangde caught him, and his old friend Liu Yue."

"Master Qi has already sent someone to send Xu Yangde to the mine, and they also found more than 50 taels of silver from Liu Yue's house."

The money Liu Yue saved behind Xu Yangde's back, Liu Yue's money was given by Xu Yangde, and Xu Yangde's money was all snatched from Xu's mother and Xu Chuzhi.

In fact, if it wasn't for Xu Yangde, Xu's mother and Xu Chuzhi would have lived well.

Because although Xu's mother is in poor health and often takes medicine, she can make embroidery, and two taels of silver a month is more than enough.

Not to mention Xu Chuzhi, he is a granary student, that is, a student who is fed by the government. He is given six buckets of rice per month and six liang of silver per year. The accommodation is free, not to mention that as a granary student, he is qualified to guarantee the candidates for the children's test. For this alone, it is not a problem to earn 40 taels of silver a year.

The children's test refers to the three-stage examinations of the county test, the government test and the college test. If you pass the child test, you are a scholar.

Candidates must have a guarantor from the county to participate in the children's test.

Calculated in this way, even if Xu Chuzhi failed to pass the Juren exam, I believe it would take less than a year for him to pay back Meng Zezhi's money.

"So, at first," Xu's mother held his hand: "Let's move out, after all, we have been living with Master Qi, and it's quite troublesome for him."

Xu Chuzhi's face paled, because he knew that Xu's mother would definitely not want to move out for no reason.

So there is only one reason, that is, Mother Xu knows about him and Meng Zezhi.

"mother?"

Mother Xu: "As for Lord Qi's kindness, Mother will repay him all her life. Besides, she will be a teacher for a day and a father for life. You must be filial to me in the future, and be filial to Lord Qi."

Just this sentence gave Meng Zezhi a seniority out of thin air.

Just to allow Xu Chuzhi to concentrate on taking the exam, she was forced to wait until today to confess.

Xu Chuzhi's eyes turned red immediately: "Mom?"

Xu's mother felt uncomfortable too, she reached out her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of Xu Chuzhi's eyes: "Chuzhi, mother is still waiting to see you get married and have children, and your children and grandchildren are full, this is also the wish of your grandparents, have you forgotten? "

Xu Chuzhi knelt down to Xu's mother without hesitation. He looked at Xu's mother and said excitedly: "Mother, I can still adopt, from Xu's family, from grandma's family, and from your mother's family. How much do you want?" There are only a few adopted grandchildren, whether the surname is Xu or your surname, it doesn’t matter.”

Xu's mother was stunned. Although this was not in line with the three principles and five principles, she was a little moved.

Then she reacted and said immediately: "At first, don't you understand that two men have no future, not to mention can you guarantee that Mr. Qi treats you sincerely? Has he ever given you even a promise? "

Outsiders said that the high-school children have always been interested in prostitution and child prostitution, she was afraid that Xu Chuzhi was deceived by Meng Zezhi.

She also didn't want to speculate on Meng Zezhi with the worst malice, even though she had believed that Meng Zezhi was a good person at the beginning, but there was no way, because now it was her dependent son who was caught in it.

Hearing this, Xu Chuzhi's eyes lit up, and he said repeatedly: "Mother, as long as he treats me sincerely, you agree to us being together?"

Mother Xu immediately said: "I don't
