Nongmen Shenjue

As mentioned earlier, the real Cai Junchi left home to study at Tongshan Academy.

Tongshan Academy is located in Tongshan outside Tongzhou City.

According to the information found on the paper, Zhao Shucheng didn't live in Chang's house for too long, less than half a year.It was originally an old story three to forty years ago. The old people in the neighborhood are gone, and the young people in those days are now old, and it is a relative from another country who lived in the Chang family. Not many people remember it.

The line of Tongshan Academy was provided by a family opposite the Chang family.

Living in the neighborhood, comparisons are inevitable, especially scholars are respected, and whoever produces a scholar, the whole family feels honored.When Zhao Shucheng came to Chang's house, many people talked about it. They praised the Chang family's benevolence and righteousness, said the child was poor, and secretly guessed that the Chang family must have benefited.

The Chang family has a large population, and the old lady of the Cai family has a cousin who is seven or eight years younger than her. The Cai family was composed of three generations at the time, and so was the Chang family. Cousin Chang has three sons and a daughter. , a large family of fifteen or six people.

Chang's family has an oil shop, but the family's burden is also heavy. "Liu Sheng" is also known as the child of a distant relative's family.

Especially when "Liu Sheng" entered Tongshan Academy in the end, some people were amazed and envious, and naturally some were jealous of pantothenic acid.

The family across the door provided for their son to study, and he failed to enter Tongshan Academy after studying for more than ten years. How could he not be sour and jealous.Because of this, I remember "Liu Sheng" firmly, maybe I don't remember his appearance and temperament, but this matter, the imprint of this person's existence, is almost getting old and confused, and he can remember it as soon as he asks, rambling, chatter.

"Zhao Shucheng was only ten years old, right? He didn't study in a private school for a few years, so he could enter Tongshan Academy?" Mu Qingyan couldn't help but question.

Tongshan Academy is equivalent to an institution of higher learning. It does not teach basic courses. Most of them are students who are determined to take the imperial examination.No matter how talented Zhao Shucheng is in reading, his foundation is superficial after all, and he is still far from the courses in the academy.

"There are only three people who really remember 'Liu Sheng', and they are all very old. They have an impression of Liu Sheng entering the academy, but they can't even tell the specifics of what happened. I checked Tongshan Academy The roster of student status has been searched since 40 years ago. There are people named "Liu Sheng", but they are not matched regardless of age or place of origin. There is no "Liu Sheng" who is ten years old, or even twelve or thirteen. Of course, there is no Such a young student, the youngest student is 14 years old, has never been seen."

Mu Qingyan pondered for a while, and said, "The name 'Liu Sheng' must have been chosen casually by the Cai family to cover up. After all, they dare not use their real names, and Cai's surname cannot be used casually. Otherwise, the neighbors of the Chang family will know that they have a An old relative of the Cai family, if the Cai family’s children are not allowed to be raised by the Cai family, how can they be raised by a foreigner?”

Wen Jixue added: "Besides, Zhao Shucheng may not be willing."

Although Zhao Shucheng may have been immature back then, if there were no major changes, his character would be slowly formed.Judging from the nature of today's behavior, it can be seen from a young age that Zhao Shucheng is not only talented in reading, but also has success in his heart.This kind of person is not necessarily afraid of suffering, but afraid of not getting ahead. The embarrassing birth brought by the Cai family is definitely a stain that cannot be erased, and it is a secret that must be hidden for the rest of his life. There will definitely be resentment in the heart.

Mu Qingyan also felt the same, saying: "So the name 'Liu Sheng' is just a cover, without proof of household registration. Furthermore, it is impossible for Tongshan Academy to enroll such young students, so there should be another explanation for the admission of 'Liu Sheng' to the academy. .”

Wen Jixue smiled and nodded: "The Chang family has some connection with Tongshan Academy. Their family sends sesame oil to the academy every month. However, it is not for the canteen of the academy, but for the teachers in the academy. This is easy to inquire about, then The teacher's surname is Lin, Bohan Lin, who is quite famous in calligraphy and painting, and is also a teacher who teaches these two subjects in the academy. His ancestral home is in the east, and he lives in the academy with his wife and children. He cooks his meals at home and likes to eat Changjia sesame oil.

The Chang family donated oil to the Lin family every month, but they didn't actually make much money, but they talked nicely with Mr. Academy.I was just thinking that if 'Liu Sheng' really entered the academy, it might have something to do with the Lin family. "

Therefore, this "admission" is not the other "admission".

Mu Qingyan pondered for a moment, then asked, "Bohan Lin has been in the academy?"

People are definitely not alive now.

Wen Jixue shook her head: "Not two years after 'Liu Sheng' arrived in Tongzhou, Lin Bohan resigned and returned home.

It is also a matter of fact, the year when 'Liu Sheng' appeared, coincided with the succession of the throne, according to the usual practice, the new emperor had to open Enke when he ascended the throne, and more students poured into Tongshan Academy at that time.There are too many students, but there are not enough teachers, so a few more teachers were hired.Lin Bohan had conflicts with one of them, and they confronted each other several times, feeling unhappy.As a literati, he has a big temper, and maybe there are other reasons, so he finally resigned and returned home. "

Mu Qingyan counted the time, and that time was not only the change of the throne.

The current ruler is the second emperor of the dynasty. The founding emperor has been in power for less than 20 years. He has stabilized the court, pacified the hearts of the people, and everything is on the right track.However, when the throne was changed, many people were eager to seek benefits. At that time, there were even enemies from outside the border coveting. Not long after the new emperor ascended the throne, wars began on the border.In those few years, the border was full of fireworks from time to time, the imperial court conscripted soldiers, and the people suffered.

"At that time, many literati students abandoned their pens and joined the army, and there were many good stories passed down." Wen Jixue said with a smile.

There is so much content on paper, don't look at a month, but what happened three or forty years ago, and it has been chaotic for a few years, it would be nice if the college can keep the student roster.

"'Liu Sheng' must have stayed in the academy, but it won't be long. If we can find the person from back then, maybe we can get some news. In addition, although it may be very low, I also sent someone to investigate the Lin family's original place."

For this development, Mu Qingyan expected it.

The old things are the most difficult to find out, he has a deep understanding, even in the previous life with advanced technology, it is still very difficult to find out the old cases.

Now they can only touch Fujiko bit by bit, from Cai's house to Xiushan Village, from Xiushan Village back to Cai's house, then to Chang's House in Tongzhou, Tongshan Academy... Calculated, there is really quite some progress. That mysterious person is getting closer and closer.

The more you can't be anxious at this time.

He stretched out his hand to smooth the wrinkles between Wen Jixue's brows, and changed the subject: "Songling Mansion is adjacent to Songping Mansion, and they are also on the way. Why don't you go to Songping Mansion first? I think of Yu Wanshuang. Let's meet the third lady and see if I can find out something."

They suspected that Tang Wanmei got into the county palace through Yu Wanshuang, but the investigation was just incidental, but they were interested in Yu's family, or Yu Wanshuang's husband's family.

Yu Wanshuang used to be a fairy girl in the Fairy Temple, and she was also Rongdu's aunt. It stands to reason that their family should have been to Feixian Town.But Yu Wanshuang didn't even come to the hundred-year sacrifice, and although Rong Du didn't say it clearly, he revealed that it was the first time he came to Feixian Town. Is it a coincidence?

Looking at such a normal family, there is a slight disobedience that is not easy to detect.

Naturally, he didn't rush to get in touch.

He had the same meaning as Wen Jixue, no one can keep secrets, as long as it has nothing to do with them, they can't spare their energy to manage it.It is really a shortage of manpower, and now the investigation has already used all the people in Wen Jixue.

"Okay, go to Songping Mansion." It doesn't matter whether you go to Songling Mansion or not, Wen Jixue loosened her brows following his wishes.

San Niangzi and his wife rented a house in Fucheng, and they said they came here for medical treatment, and San Niangzi usually didn't go out.They didn't tell anyone about their coming to Fucheng, because they were afraid that Feng Xiuying would find them to kill the weeds without giving up.The third lady can't figure it out now, even if she overheard a few words, so what?Why is it about to die?

She thought about it left and right, and always felt that she had overlooked some key point.

However, she had blood congestion in her brain, so she couldn't hurt her mind at all, and it hurt several times, so she didn't dare to think about it.

When Mu Qingyan came to the door, the Yu family and his wife were surprised.

"Mr. Mu, how could you..." After all, Li Shi didn't even mention where they landed.

Mu Qingyan smiled, and put the tonic and medicinal materials he brought on the table.

Without going around in circles, he looked at San Niangzi and said: "To be honest, I am leaving. Before leaving, I remembered something, so I came to ask San Niangzi. It's fine if San Niangzi doesn't know."

The third lady lost her mind, and asked suspiciously: "Hasn't Yuzhu's matter been investigated?"

Mu Qingyan said: "I want to ask Yu Wanshuang."

"Yu Wanshuang?!" The third lady was even more surprised: "Why did Mr. Mu ask her? That Yu Wanshuang..."

The third lady frowned, as if she was thinking about what to say.

"I heard that she has a close relationship with Tang Wanmei?"

The third lady smiled when she heard this: "That's right. Yu Wanshuang looks very gentle, but in fact he is very calm. He doesn't like to talk to anyone. He just smiles when he sees people. You can't say that they don't understand." Li. We all know that she has a good background and a bookish look. Sitting there, she looks like a lady in a painting, but she is cold, and we are not easy to get close to her. She is not a stranger. Tang Wanmei was born in the Tang family, and she knows how to behave. There is no shortage of people, but she treats Yu Wanshuang differently from others. How should I put it, she seems a little anxious. Anyway, I think that if Tang Wanmei hadn't been so enthusiastic and proactive to approach her, Yu Wanshuang would not have treated her so close .”

Yu Wanshuang has been in poor health since she was a child, and she is also a scholarly boudoir. She must not go out often since she was a child, and she has few playmates. At the age of 12, she entered the Fairy Temple again, but she has basically developed her temperament. Even if she wants to socialize with others, she will not take the initiative. At this time, Tang Wanmei, who is proactive, looks very good. The two girls are very close Naturally.

"Has Tang Wanmei been to Yu's house?" Mu Qingyan asked again.

The third lady thought for a while, but she was not sure: "I don't know about this kind of thing. However, even if I have been there, the number of times must be very small. Although there is a holiday every month in the temple, the Tang family has strict rules. During festivals, relatives are not allowed to go out casually for the night, but the Yu family is in Fucheng, the Tang family may not be willing to let Tang Wanmei go."

"Where's Yu Wanshuang? She also returns home every month?"

"Basically yes, sometimes when she is not in good health, she will go home for ten days and a half months to recuperate." The third lady has a deep impression of Yu Wanshuang, a sick beauty.

"Their relationship has always been good?" Mu Qingyan asked again.

"Well, yes..." Nodding his head, he seemed to think of something, and said: "I didn't leave the temple until I was old, and Tang Wanmei left the temple, a year earlier than me. Yu Wanshuang was earlier. At that time, Yu Wanshuang wanted Let's go, everyone gave her away, but... I don't know if it's been too long and I remembered wrongly, it seems that the atmosphere between the two people was not right at that time. Yu Wanshuang usually doesn't talk much, but Tang Wanmei didn't say anything that day. I heard people talk about it, saying that the two had an awkward relationship, but they left the temple one after another, one married far away, and the other kept a filial piety, I am not close to them at all, all I know is what other people said."

Seeing that San Niangzi's knowledge was limited, Mu Qingyan gave up.
