A scholar becomes a landlord

"Brother Wei, please forgive me."

Several people bowed and apologized. They all read Wei Le's answer sheet, and they still wanted to learn from each other, but they didn't know each other when they came to them, so embarrassing.

"It's okay, I'm also very unfamiliar with the brothers." Wei Le told the truth, but won everyone's favor.

"Brother Wei, this is Brother Fang Yufang, this is Brother He Ranhe, this is Brother Ming Hanming, these three are all well-known talents in the county, and they have admired Brother Wei for a long time."

After Xie Ming introduced several people, he invited Wei Le to sit down.

There are many stones on the top of the mountain, and the scholars are sitting on the stones. What makes Wei Le ashamed is that these people only brought some dry food and dried meat for food, but several pots of wine.

Sure enough, it is right to let everyone hide the wine, and let them drink it again, these people will have to roll down the mountain.

"Master, Master Yi sent this to me."

Xiao Han ran over with a cloth pad.

"Okay, thank you." Wei Le took the cloth cushion and put it on the stone, and sat down again.

Seeing that the task was completed, Xiaohan happily ran away, and he had to go back to help prepare things.

"It made a few brothers laugh at me. My younger brother is not in good health, and my family is worried."

Wei Le reluctantly explained to several people.

"Understand, understand."

Everyone expressed their understanding of Wei Le's family's concern for him.

"It's because we didn't think carefully enough to almost expose Brother Wei to the cold. It's a sin." Xie Ming was full of guilt. They were used to being casual and in good health, forgetting that not everyone is like them.

"It's okay."

Wei Le hurriedly shook his hand to express that he didn't mind.

Everyone said that Wei Le was so kind and caring, and they liked him even more.

I'll go, I'm not trying to brush your favor!What's going on now that everyone's affection for him is soaring?I still thought about going back after saying hello, but now it seems that I won't be able to leave for a while.

What would a bunch of talented people do together?Wei Xiu can tell you now.Drinking, gossip, and then writing a bunch of poems that no one can understand except themselves, at least in Wei Le's eyes. They barely passed the year-old exam.

Wei Le rejected their invitation to compose poetry, and sat on the sidelines to listen to their gossip after they finished their poetry addiction.Don't think that scholars don't like gossip, they are so upset in their hearts!You must know that this group of people usually like to get together and chat with each other without anything to do. It is estimated that they are the people who know the most gossip in the county.

"Does Wei Le still remember County Captain Zhou?"

Xie Ming and the others didn’t forget Wei Le when they were gossiping. Just now, when they asked him to drink, Wei Le refused because of his physical discomfort. These people didn’t force it at first. Drinking, look at the big family on the opposite side who are pretending to be strong, it is estimated that they will not be able to walk down the top of the mountain today.

"Remember, did something happen to his family again?" Wei Le tapped his palm lightly with his fan. This county captain couldn't forget it in recent years, and he even used this incident to remind his husband!

"Of course, Brother Wei is really right. Something happened to his family again. The county captain Zhou was dismissed because of his wife's interest. In the end, he used the money to clear up the higher-ups and returned to the county captain. However, He divorced his wife." Speaking of the county lieutenant, Xie Ming didn't like him very much, even if he was greedy, and his character was so bad, he was in vain as a scholar.

"Isn't this normal?" At the beginning, Wei Le expected that the county captain would definitely divorce his wife.

"But he also went too far. He actually asked the other party to leave the house without leaving the house. Except for a set of clothes, he was not allowed to take anything away.

I'll go, so superb?Wei Le was dumbfounded. Although the lady was not good, it was the magistrate himself who did it. Divorcing his wife was fine, even wanting to covet his wife's dowry. It really is rubbish.

"And then? That lady won't let it go like this, will she?" I heard that the other party's family is not easy to mess with, and is a big family in the county.

"Of course, with the help of her natal family, the lady went to the provincial capital to sue the county lieutenant and presented evidence of his corruption and bribery, so the county lieutenant that Zhou county lieutenant brought back was gone." Minghan and the others laughed. Into a pile, it is simply a joy.

"Also, the magistrate ordered his wife's dowry back to the other party. After he was stripped of his official uniform, the lady rushed into his house with her natal brothers and clansmen and brought back all the dowry. Then Although County Captain Zhou has been greedy a lot these years, Wei Le, our county, also knows that it is not a rich place, and his greed is limited, not to mention that he has spent a lot of money himself, and now the entire Zhou family relies on him The ex-wife's dowry to live on. Now that there is no dowry, all the family property has been confiscated, tsk tsk..."

He Ran shook his head, Zhou Xianwei's family was shouted and beaten by everyone in their county town, and finally had to take the concubine and illegitimate son to other places to find a way to make a living.

"Ha, I can only say that the Skynet is not leaking." Wei Leke didn't sympathize with the other party at all. In the final analysis, he was the cause of all this, and naturally he had to bear the consequences.

"That's right, since you promised not to take concubines or maidservants, and to treat the wife who can't bear children wholeheartedly, but you are raising a concubine outside, and you have forgotten who you started your family with? Such a dishonest person, the prefect should be punished." He was right to be exiled."

Fang Yu felt that confiscating all the other party's wealth would not relieve his anger, and he should be exiled for three thousand miles to relieve his hatred.

"That's right, the other party broke his promise first, and later betrayed justice. He divorced his wife and was unwilling to let go of the other party's dowry. After all, it was his own fault in the end, and he misunderstood others!"

Wei Le finally concluded.

"Brother Wei's words are very kind, isn't it just greedy words and misleading people!"

Coveting other people's dowry and cheating on the marriage, taking his wife behind his back to raise an outside room, without the husband's favor, the other party had to put more importance on money, and ended up divorcing his wife after something happened, and withholding his ex-wife's dowry privately. The man's face was completely humiliated by the County Captain Zhou.

"Ha, let's not talk about him, it's a disappointment."

It soon became clear that the few people changed the topic to another place. Wei Le was bored, so he lazily leaned on the rock to enjoy the surrounding scenery.

"This place is nice."

There are many maple trees on the mountain, and the red maple trees on the top of the mountain are particularly eye-catching in autumn. Even Wei Le couldn't help but look at them a few more times.

"Yeah, that's why we choose to come here when we have nothing to do. In spring, the mountain is full of winter jasmine flowers. The scenery and the maple red in autumn have their own advantages. Wei Le can go up to the mountain to see it in the coming year."

Xie Ming agreed with Wei Le's words, the mountain around them was worth seeing, it was worthwhile for them to come to this small place to stay one night in advance, and climb up the mountain the next day to enjoy the scenery.

"Okay, next year my younger brother will definitely go up to the mountain to enjoy it." Wei Le said with a smile, still very interested in the winter jasmine flowers all over the mountain.

At noon, Wei Le invited a few people to his place and treated them to a crab feast.A few people had already smelled the scent coming from the opposite side from time to time, but they were too embarrassed to eat, so they all pretended that they didn't care about the growing smell on the opposite side, and chatted more vigorously.

Fortunately, Brother Wei came forward and invited them to have a meal together, otherwise they would be embarrassed today.

Just a pity there was no wine, what they brought had already been drunk.The families of the few people are from ordinary families. Although they are not short of money, they have already spent a lot of money on their studies. They usually carry limited money when traveling, and they only choose the cheapest kind of wine. Didn't drink to my heart's content.

"I'm really sorry, because my younger brother is in poor health, so alcohol is banned at home." Wei Le poured chrysanthemum tea for several people, smiling very sincerely, if the Wei family hadn't known the truth in advance, they would probably have been tricked by their young master.

It's so good at acting, I like the young master.

Unknowingly, Wei Le, who is full of acting skills, accepted Mingming's thanks, and said that there is nothing wrong with no alcohol, and chrysanthemum tea is good, just to relieve the alcohol.Of course, the existence of crabs is indispensable at this time, and they ate crabs with gentle movements, but when they saw Wei Le's elegant and noble dining etiquette, they all slowed down in unison.

They secretly glanced at each other. There were rumors in the county that Wei Le was from a wealthy family. Before, they were skeptical. Now that they saw his actions, they knew it. sub-authentic.

Wei Le skillfully used eight pieces of crabs. The crab meat and crab roe were obviously messed up in the hands of several people, but Wei Le easily got them out of the shell.There were even two handy maids serving him beside him. Wei Le only needed to disassemble one crab, and they dismantled the rest and put them in a small dish in front of Wei Le for him to eat.

Wei Le also only ate with two hands before stopping, and then started to drink a bowl of mutton soup.

"Go to the side to eat! Today I brought a lot of crabs, eat as much as you want, but the girl around you, the crabs are cold, it's better to eat less." Wei Le said to Xiaoxue who was kneeling behind him.

"Thank you, young master, the servants will remember."

Xiaoxue went to the servant's side and took the crabs from Xiaohan. The two girls ate happily, but they also remembered Wei Le's words, and they also only ate with two hands before stopping.

As for Yi Feng and the others sitting with Wei Le and the others, they don't need to be polite. They have learned how to eat crabs these days. Although their movements are not elegant, and even a little rude, they pick every crab thoroughly. clean.

Although he knew a few more people, as Wei Le said, he brought a lot of crabs and food, and a few more scholars with limited appetite would be enough.

The group of people had a great time eating, and they had time to enjoy the beautiful scenery after the meal, while Wei Le took a lunch break with Yi Feng.

Covered with a thick cloak, everyone kept their voices down as much as possible when playing and laughing, even Xie Xiucai and the others did the same. But this time they learned the real condition of Wei Le's body from Wei's family members, and they realized the truth. Wei Le's health is so poor that he hasn't recovered after recuperating for a year, and he is still recuperating, so he must not be allowed to drink alcohol.

Even the usual eating needs to be controlled. I didn't see that I only ate two crabs, and the scholars all ate four before giving up!

Wei Le now needs a lunch break to recover his strength, and several people expressed their understanding.They are not the kind of self-righteous people, and they don't care about the fact that Wei Le, the master, can't entertain them.What's wrong with his body, you still want others to entertain you with his body, what kind of heart is this?
