Cannon Fodder is King [Quick Transmigration]

After returning from Xiao's residence, Meng Zezhi moved out of Xiao's courtyard.After all, Mrs. Xiao is already grown up. Although he is young, he is still a man. If he lives any longer, he is afraid of rumors and rumors.

But he didn't go back to the Wutong Courtyard where he used to live, but moved into the Shi'an Courtyard cleaned up by the new Xiao family.

This Shi'an Courtyard was originally the residence of an old uncle of Song Guogong Zhao Lingwu. It is said that this old uncle once had a kindness for Zhao Lingwu, so after Zhao Lingwu became famous, he took him to be honored and raised.

It's just that not long after Zhao Yi'an was born, the old uncle went there, probably because he thought of seeing things and thinking about others, so Zhao Lingwu ordered his life to seal up the yard.

After all, the yard has been vacant for nearly ten years.

The whole Song Guogong Mansion is huge, with three entrances and nine courtyards, covering an area of ​​more than 180 mu, with more than [-] houses.

The place is big, but Zhao Lingwu's backyard is even bigger, with eleven aunts, fourteen concubines, and six concubines.

A large family, Song Guogong and Xiao's family lived in Muyuantang, Zhao Yijing occupied Zhuyuyuan, eleven aunts crowded into the third group of courtyards on West Road, and the concubine who had reached the age of seven moved into Wutongyuan and Tingyuxuan , the six concubines lived in Yingxue Pavilion...

If it wasn't that there was really no place to go, Xiao would not want Meng Zezhi to live in the Shi'an Courtyard. In addition to the death of someone from the Zhao family, it was unlucky, and it was too close to the street, causing panic.

Meng Zezhi was extremely satisfied with this, it would be a great thing to have his own independent space and not have to deal with those restless brothers.

Compared with Zhao Yijing's residence - the magnificent Zhuyu Courtyard with carved and embroidered thresholds, the Shi'an Courtyard obviously looks much 'shabby'.

It covers an area of ​​less than six mu, and has thirteen houses in total, including three main rooms, front and rear corridors on the top of the mountain, two side rooms on the left and right, three wing rooms on the east and west sides of the courtyard, and one outside. garden.

But in fact, the interior layout of Shi’an Courtyard is not worse than that of Zhuyu Courtyard. There are more than [-] kinds of supplies in the main room alone: ​​silver tea pot lid, silver teapot, tin tea bowl lid, lacquer box, gilded iron cloud-wrapped corner table ... They are all the best things, and most of them are Xiao's body.

These are not enough for outsiders, mainly to avoid suspicion from interested people.

In addition, Xiao Shi also provided Meng Zezhi with a sedan chair, so that he could report to Xiao Deren every day.

Of course, Xiao Shi also reported this matter to Song Guogong, and he only reasoned that he liked Meng Zezhi's talent and wanted to train him to be Zhao Yijing's helper.

Song Guogong has no way to refute, and he also knows the truth of using military force in troubled times and using writing to govern the world.Now that the world is becoming more and more peaceful, when the war in the north ceases, the status of generals will only get lower and lower. Although the current emperor is still kind, he should not be able to do anything cunning and dead.But for the sake of the future of the Duke's Mansion, he also has the intention of letting future generations abandon martial arts and follow literature.If Meng Zezhi is really as talented as Xiao Shi said in the letter, he can indeed be cultivated well.What's more, he felt somewhat guilty towards Xiao Shi in his heart, so he approved of Xiao Shi's actions.

After four years like this, it seems that the life was too moist, Meng Zezhi, who was sixteen years old, suddenly jumped to 1.7 meters, half a head taller than Xiao Shi.

In the Shi'an Courtyard, the nanny He's honorably retired—in fact, it was Xiao who thought she was too petty, so he simply gave her a sum of money and sent her home to take her grandson. The person who took her place was Xiao's big maid Know the piano.

In addition, Xiao Shi assigned Meng Zezhi two servants, two guards, and a book boy.

The bookboy's name is Ji Liang, the grandson of Madam Zheng and the only son of Ji Guyang.

A year ago, Xiao returned the identity deed of Ji Guyang's family to him. To show his loyalty, Ji Guyang sent Ji Liang to Meng Zezhi as a school boy.

In mid-August of Guangde 19, because Xiao Deren was going to his in-law's house to celebrate his mother-in-law's birthday on this day, he gave Meng Zezhi a holiday early.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned home, he ran into Zhao Yikang who came back from having a drink with his classmates.

Speaking of which, Meng Zezhi and Zhao Yikang still had a grudge.

Zhao Yikang is five years old, only two years older than Meng Zezhi, and his biological mother is Aunt Xu in the backyard. Aunt Xu was originally the oiran of Manchunyuan, one of the four buildings in the capital, and was later bought and given to Duke Song. With her unique skills, she successfully became Song Guogong's favorite concubine, and then gave birth to two sons and a daughter for Song Guogong in one breath.

A son is as precious as his mother, so Zhao Yikang, the eldest, became the most favored bastard in the Duke's mansion.

Originally, in Aunt Xu and Zhao Yikang's plan, when Zhao Yikang reached his age, he begged Song Gongguo to clean up the Shianyuan and let the two brothers live in it. In this way, they would no longer have to squeeze together with other bastards up.

Unexpectedly, a Cheng Yaojin came out halfway, and with a wave of Xiao's big hand, he assigned the World Security Court to Meng Zezhi.

Song Guogong is not here, the servants in the mansion, including the concubine's deeds, are all in Xiao's hands, which means that she holds the power of life and death in the mansion. Aunt Xu, who is usually arrogant and arrogant, can only shrink back now Straighten your neck.

So after hearing the news, even though they were unwilling, their family only dared to curse a few words behind their backs, and then took the next best thing to ask Song Guogong for the place of supervisor under his name.

The so-called Jiansheng is the abbreviation of Guozijian students, and Guozijian is the highest school in the Dayang Dynasty.According to regulations, only tribute students or yin students are eligible to study in the Guozijian. Gongsheng refers to scholars or juren with excellent grades, and yinjian refers to students who are the sons of officials of the third rank or above or the children of honored relatives. He has no reputation as a scholar, but he can directly take the provincial examination.

Guozijian is good. On the one hand, you can make friends with noble children, and on the other hand, you will be taught by a famous teacher. Are you afraid that he will not be able to pass the Jinshi exam?

Just when Zhao Yikang was dreaming of getting a title on the gold list and becoming a marquis and worshiping prime minister, news spread that Meng Zezhi had worshiped Xiao Deren as his teacher.

Who is Xiao Deren, the head of the Xiao family of a century-old family, the second place in the Enke list in the first year of Guangde, the Guozijian sacrificed wine, his disciples are all over the world, and he is extremely noble.

What a huge network this must be, and Zhao Yikang was instantly compared.

Zhao Yikang has always been the one who overwhelms others, but now that Meng Zezhi is on top of him, Zhao Yikang is unavoidably a little psychologically unbalanced.

Besides, it was fine before, seeing Zhao Er, Zhao San, and Zhao Si who lived in Ting Yuxuan with him in recent years have married and had children one after another, and a bunch of children saw ghosts crying and howling all day long, which made him feel restless. Think about it Just get angry.

If Meng Zezhi hadn't taken over the Shi'an Courtyard that should have belonged to him, how could he have suffered such a crime.

But Meng Zezhi stood behind Xiao Shi, and he could only hold back the evil fire in his heart.

But now it's different——

Zhao Yikang smiled, "Hey, isn't this the Ninth Young Master?"

It could be seen that Zhao Yikang had bad intentions, but Meng Zezhi didn't want to talk to him at all, so he continued to walk forward.

Zhao Yikang immediately sneered and said: "The person who recognized the cheap mother and the cheap uncle is different, and even forgot the basic etiquette."

Concerned about Ji Liang's presence, Meng Ze knew that he had to react. He faltered, turned his head, and frowned slightly: "Fifth brother, has anyone ever said that your mouth is particularly smelly?"

Zhao Yikang was not annoyed either, he just sneered and said: "This temper is good, but Zhao Jiu, you don't really think of yourself as the wife's son, the son of the Duke's family! I heard that the battle in the north is almost over. , Father and Zhao Yijing are about to return to court soon!"

Meng Zezhi's face darkened, as if he was holding back something, and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Wu, instead of caring about me, you might as well care about yourself. I heard that my father has taken in several young servants in the past few years when he was away. Concubine, among them is a pair of twins, Hu Ji, who are especially loved by her father. I remember that in a few years, Aunt Xu will celebrate her [-]th birthday. You are also a scholar, so you should know what it means to be an Israeli servant. .”

After speaking, Meng Zezhi walked away in a huff.

"You—" Zhao Yikang's face turned green and white, and he was so excited, he gritted his teeth, and said angrily, "I want to see how crazy you, a bastard who has occupied the magpie's nest, can do when Zhao Yijing, the rightful lord, comes back."

Hearing this, Meng Zezhi's expression darkened a bit.

Ji Liang immediately said: "Young Master, you must not take what Fifth Young Master said to you, we have noticed Madam's kindness to you, and there is nothing false about it."

"En." Meng Zezhi answered absent-mindedly, looking sullen.

When he arrived at Muyuan Hall, he managed to pull himself together and bowed to salute: "Mother."

With just one glance, Mrs. Xiao could see something was wrong with Meng Zezhi's body. She kept her composure, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off Meng Zezhi's forehead, and said, "Why is it so hot, Madam Zheng? Go get a bowl of crystal ice."

"Yes, ma'am." Madam Zheng agreed, and dragged Ji Liang away by the way.

The crystal ice in Xiao's mouth is actually an ice bowl that is common in later generations, with fresh almonds, walnut kernels, lotus seeds, yogurt, ice cream, and jam added to the ice bowl.

Since the year before last, a lot of new things have been added to the capital one after another, such as hot pot restaurants, underwear shops, matches, soap...

At this moment, Xing Xiaoya hasn't been reborn yet, so it's obvious who made these things.

Meng Zezhi saw it, but smiled and said nothing.

Halfway through the meal, Meng Zezhi thought about his business, put down his spoon immediately, and said, "By the way, mother, my uncle said that my time has come, and I can end this year."

Meng Zezhi was rushing for the sixth yuan and the first prize. In addition, he was still young a few years ago, and Xiao Deren was also worried that he would not be able to survive the exam, so he simply let him study for a few more years.

"Really?" Xiao's eyes lit up, and then he frowned slightly: "Our family's ancestral home is in Jiangxi, and it takes at least two months to go from the capital to Jiangxi. The county examination will be in February next year, isn't that right? You said that you had to leave the capital a few years ago, and no matter how well you pass the exam, you will get September next year after you finish the rural exam, so it will take you a year to go back and forth, when did you travel so far?"

Xiao Shi looked worried.

Hearing this, Meng Zezhi's face was moved immediately, and even the sadness hidden in his eyes was wiped away. He couldn't help but curled his lips: "Just this time, wait for my son to take the exam." When the number one scholar comes back, he will stay in the capital, stay with mother, and not go anywhere."

Seeing the change in Meng Zezhi's expression, Mrs. Xiao's expression softened, and then she seemed to think of something, her eyes darkened, and she said softly: "Mother likes to hear these words."

After talking for a while, Meng Zezhi got up to leave and went back to the Shi'an Courtyard.

As soon as he left, Madam Zheng immediately said: "Ma'am, I found out clearly, the young master met the fifth young master just now, and the fifth young master said some unpleasant things..."

Xiao sighed slightly in her heart, if his An'er knew the truth, she probably wouldn't be uneasy because of these pretentious things.

It's a pity, alas!
