Take the imperial examinations with the red envelopes of the writers
Chapter 6 Eat a Bite of Angry Melon
This farce is a long story.
The family's surname is Ji. When Mr. Ji was young, he married a wife named Liu and gave birth to his eldest son, Ji Wu. However, Liu died of illness not long after.Elder Ji married another second wife, the Wu family from Shuling Village next door.The Wu family was a widow, and she brought a son with her to marry her, and she renamed the son Ji Wen.
The Wu family gave birth to a young son many years later, and he specially asked the Taoist priest in the temple to name him Ji Changqing.
As the saying goes, if you have a stepmother, you have a stepfather.Ji's family is not rich, but they are not so poor that they can sell everything. It's just that the Wu family is partial to his two biological sons, and all the hard work falls on Ji Wu. Seeing that Ji Wu is taciturn and does not resist, Mr. Ji opened his eyes. Close one eye.
Ji Wu is honest and honest, he treats people kindly, and he has a good impression in the hearts of the villagers.Not only is he a veteran at work, but he also fumbles into the mountains to hunt, and sometimes he can catch some game, and sell it in restaurants in the county town, which is also an income.
But because Wu's vitriolic name is well known in the whole village, those who love their daughter are reluctant to marry their daughter.When Ji Wu reached the age of getting married, Mrs. Wu didn't bother to make arrangements for his marriage, and kept on delaying, fearing that after Ji Wu got married, he would only take care of his small family and ignore the affairs of Ji's father-in-law.
After all, compared to the hard-working Ji Wu, Wu's two sons, Ji Wen and Ji Changqing, are more lazy and idle than the other, and are criticized by others.
Ji Wen is only one year younger than Ji Wu, but he is a fine person. He pretends to be weak when he first arrives, and when he has a job, he acts very positively, and then pretends to be injured while working. Finally, these jobs still fall on Ji Wu's head.
Over time, in old man Ji's eyes, Ji Wen has no power to restrain a chicken, and can only do a disservice.But Mr. Ji wanted to save face. He was afraid that people would say that he treated the unrelated son brought by his stepmother harshly, so he always favored Ji Wen.Ji Wu is a silent gourd, compared to Ji Wen, who is sweet and flattering, is more liked by old man Ji.
Su Yan was amazed, the old man Ji is also unclear, not to mention that his own son and step-son are equally balanced, it is rare to have his own son so much.
And Ji Changqing is the old man of Ji and the Wu family, so precious.In this not-so-rich family, Ji Changqing's food and clothing are the first.Wu has always claimed that the Taoist priest who gave him his name said that Ji Changqing was a Wenqu star descending to earth, and that he would become a high-ranking official in the future, and he sent Ji Changqing to study in a private school in the county.
As the saying goes, "Everything is inferior, but reading is high".
But for ordinary people, reading is not a small expense.Tuition fees of at least two taels of silver a year, six rites of study when apprenticeships, special festivals every year, and expenses for books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones and other stationery.
The burden of these silver coins all fell on Ji Wu.If old man Ji hadn't saved more or less money when he was young, otherwise he really couldn't afford such a big expense.
Ji Wu dragged on until he was 20 years old, and under the introduction of his deceased mother Liu's natal family, he married a girl named Xu from the neighboring village of his mother's natal family.Xu's life is also hard, his biological father died early, and the widowed mother finally dragged Xu and her younger brother to the world.
Because Xu was worried about her younger brother, she insisted on waiting until her younger brother was fifteen, and she delayed her decision to marry until she was twenty.
Mrs. Xu is also a hardworking and tenacious person. After marrying, she and Ji Wu also supported this deformed big family together.In the second year after marriage, Xu gave birth to her son Ji Shi, nicknamed Shishi.
And Mrs. Wu married her second son, Ji Wen, to her niece from her natal family, Mrs. Wu, and gave her a bride price of five taels of silver.Xiao Wu also had to work since she was a child in her natal family, but after she got married, seeing the attitude of her family towards her eldest brother and sister-in-law, she also learned to be arrogant, relying on her husband to be more favored than her elder brother, and superior to others.
Originally, the days went by like this.However, two years ago, Ji Wen was lured into a gambling addiction. At the beginning, he could make a few small sums of money, but then he became complacent and unconscious, and got deeper and deeper.Later, he was designed to lose everything, and owed 50 taels of silver.
This is not a small amount of money, the people who came to collect debts caused Ji's family to jump around, and old man Ji became ill, so Wu took the opportunity to persuade old man Ji to let Ji Wu go to the foreign corvee to get a sum of money.
Although foreign corvees can get higher subsidies, but because they are far away from the county, and the service period is long and difficult, few people who really care about their families go there.
The night before departure, Ji Wu kowtowed to the old man Ji several times, begging his father to take care of his wife and children after he left.
However, within a few months after Ji Wu left, Mrs. Xu contracted a cold in winter because of working day and night. The barefoot doctor in the village prescribed some cheap herbs and boiled them.Although Ji Shi tried his best to take care of his mother, Xu still didn't survive last spring.
Without the protection of his mother Xu, Ji Shi's life is even more difficult. He is obviously not a few years younger than Ji Changqing, but he needs to do various chores while Ji Changqing is studying, and is beaten and scolded by Wu every day.
The people in the village lamented the old man Ji's ignorance, but they didn't want to interfere in other people's affairs, so they could only give him some thick noodle steamed buns to eat when they secretly helped Ji from time to time.
Until today, Ji Wu came back from his corvee service.Hearing that his wife had passed away and his son had been tortured, this always honest and dull man was furious.
The clay figurine was also a bit angry, Ji Wu thought that it would be all right to bear the burden of hard work, as he repaid old man Ji's kindness in giving birth.But how could his son and wife be treated like this, he must seek justice today.
The villagers were also deeply moved.
Su Yan and Zhou Yunwen couldn't help but pity Ji Wu and Ji Shi after hearing these past events.
This is simply the ancient version of "Helping Brother Devil", Su Yan complained silently.
In his two lives, he was born in a wealthy family and had no worries about food and clothing.
Although there are other dirty things in the rich second generation circle, this is the first time I have seen such a thing.For a while, he lost interest in eating melons and watching the excitement, and only wanted justice from heaven, punishing evil and promoting good.
Zhou Yunwen also frowned, his face darkened.His father was a Jinshi of the second list. Although he was born in poverty and his official career was not smooth, he was still only a county magistrate at the age of nearly forty, but his family was clean and bright.
If it is said that troublesome people come out of poor mountains and bad waters.Huaxi Village was considered a relatively wealthy village in the David Dynasty, but this kind of thing still happened.What is the life of the people in the more remote and poor villages?It's no wonder that even if my father's official career is not going well, he always teaches himself in his position to do his own thing, hoping that the world will be peaceful and the sea will be clean.
Zhou Yunwen's little heart can't help but be filled with worries about the country and the people.If I can study with Mr. Su, I must cherish the opportunity and work diligently to study my career, just like Zhang Zai, a master of the Song Dynasty, said: "Build a heart for the world, build a life for the people, inherit the knowledge of the past, and create peace for all generations." , Realize the ideal of being an official and benefiting the party.
Su Yan looked at the little senior brother with a look of bitterness and hatred, and patted him on the shoulder comfortingly.
Before they had time to say anything, a sharp female voice suddenly broke their thoughts.
"Boss, you don't know. Since your daughter-in-law left, it's even harder to live this day. And those debt collectors are really haunted, and your brother is scared sick. The little bastard Shitou eats too much , we have to feed him if we don’t have enough to eat ourselves.” Wu said indignantly.
Su Yan's face twitched, but he saw a big fat boy beside the slightly opened door. That was Ji Wen's son, and he was also a grandson. The difference in treatment should not be too obvious.
This Wu family really made Su Yan understand that people are shameless and invincible.
"You don't know, the third brother's Shuxiu has to be paid again, which is a lot of money. The third child must study, Taoists say that he is a Wenqu star, and he will be a high-ranking official in the future, wait After the third son becomes an official, he can get whatever he wants, so you and Shitou will enjoy the blessings with the third son."
When Wu's words came out, Su Yan and Zhou Yunwen were dumbfounded.The two looked at each other, seeing shock in each other's eyes.
No, no, no one would be so shameless.
Su Yan turned his gaze to Ji Wu who was facing him again. He also looked extremely angry, his face became more and more gloomy, and the veins on his forehead throbbed, making the scar more obvious and frightening.
Wu Shi also seemed to be a little frightened by Ji Wu's face in front of him, and vaguely felt that something had changed in him after two years of going out.
"Separation." Ji Wu squeezed out two words expressionlessly.
As soon as these words came out, Wu was at a loss for words.Then he pointed at his nose indignantly and said, "You are an unfilial son. Everyone knows that your parents don't separate the family. You are poking our old couple's heart and lungs." She is not stupid, she can't let Ji Wu separate the family.Not to mention the embarrassment in front of the whole village, Ji Wu is separated, who will work and who will earn money.Ji Wu wasn't at home for the past two years, he was tired of work, and he didn't have any income from wild game, so it was hard.
The villagers also whispered to each other for a while, and there was an uproar.
Old man Ji couldn't sit still.He has been watching silently from the side, and let Wu shi come forward to deal with it if there is no big problem, and he doesn't have to worry about it.It's not going to work now, Ji Wu actually mentioned splitting up.Separation is not a "small fight".
"I also ask Uncle Wang to help invite the patriarch and Li Zheng." Ji Wu said to the villagers beside him.
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away." Uncle Wang said, and then hurried to Lizheng's house.Uncle Wang is usually gentle and fair, so I asked him to go to the patriarch and Li Zheng, and he will be able to state the matter impartially.
Not long after, the patriarch and Li Zheng arrived.
When the Su family first returned to Huaxi Village, the patriarch and Li Zheng visited Su Yue.Su Yan remembered hearing from his father that they were of good character and relatively fair in dealing with things.Su Yan also looked forward to Ji Wuji's smooth escape from the vampire family.
The patriarch and Li Zheng are in a bad mood, presumably Uncle Wang told them about the situation on the way, and they also know more or less about the situation of Ji's family on weekdays.
"Master Ji, Ji Wu wants to be separated, do you agree?" Li Zhengyi asked Old Man Ji.
"How can we divide the family? Ji Wu is my son, and I have not died yet to divide the family." The old man Ji said angrily.
But at this time Ji Wu unexpectedly knelt down.
The author has something to say: Don't be angry, don't panic, the next chapter will solve the bad Ji's family!
