When Mrs. Zhu heard the name of "Cheng Qing", she was angry.

Since Cheng Qing and his family returned home last spring, Mrs. Zhu's life has not been as comfortable as before. From time to time, Cheng Qing has to make some noise to disgust her - it is obvious that she wants to pay attention to Cheng Qing, but whenever Cheng Qing makes any progress, Mrs. Zhu is cautious about being uncomfortable and has to rely on Cheng Qing for her own troubles!

But there is no one in the room who thinks there is something wrong with it.

During the growth process, the two brothers Cheng Zhixu and Cheng Zhishu were instilled with the idea of ​​opposition to Cheng Zhiyuan by Mrs. Zhu, and they were all used to it.

They are vested interests and will never correct Mrs. Zhu's narrow-minded selfishness.

If it weren't for what Mrs. Zhu did, most of the second wife's family business should have been inherited by Cheng Zhiyuan, the eldest son born by his original wife, and neither of these two brothers would be able to live their current lives.

Mrs. Zhu did not hide her disgust for Cheng Qing, and Cheng Zhishu also spoke:

"Second brother, that child is indeed tricky and hateful. Fortunately, he is still young and has no future, otherwise he will definitely make our family restless!"

What kind of nephew is that? He is clearly an enemy.

Cheng Zhishu scolded Cheng Qing mercilessly and said what happened recently, "The court should quickly make a conclusion on the disaster and silver corruption case."

Once the dust is settled, the eldest brother Cheng Zhiyuan's crime will be settled, and the clan will no longer secretly protect Cheng Qing, a son of an official, no matter how clever he is, he will not come to the stage. He is just a buzzing fly.

"The disaster and silver corruption case... Forget it, let's not talk about this matter, and wait for the court to make a conclusion. I will visit my fifth cousin tomorrow."

Cheng Zhixu stopped after saying a while.

Mrs. Zhu felt a little uncomfortable.

On the way to his post, my son took a detour back to Nanyi, saying that he was visiting her, the mother, but in fact he wanted to meet the old man from the fifth house.

When he was a fifth-rank magistrate, the second rank magistrate would follow the leader of the fifth rank. If he became a fourth-rank magistrate, he would not be able to escape the thugs of the fifth rank?

In this way, when can we truly be proud and let Nanyi Cheng take the second wife as the most respect!

The son of Zhixu was the pillar of the family. Mrs. Zhu would not lose face and conceal her discomfort. She still ordered her servants to clean the house. She also asked Madam Zhou to take someone to the dock to pick up Cheng Zhixu's wife Zhong, and ordered someone to go to the academy to report the message and ask Cheng Gui to take leave to go home.

Cheng Zhixu hadn't returned home for several years, and the father and son hadn't met for several years. When the father came back, the son naturally had to pay his respects. Filial piety was the first priority, and academic importance could not overestimate filial piety.

...

Willow Lane.

The hustle and bustle of the day have dissipated, and Yangliu Lane is only deserted.

Cheng Qing didn't know that his second uncle Cheng Zhixu was back.

It’s nothing to know. Now nothing is as important as her attending the county examination.

There is only ten days left for her.

Although Meng Huaijin talked to her about the exam skills before leaving and analyzed Li Zhixian’s preferences, Meng Huaijin was not a god, so how could she know exactly what to take in the county exam this year?

Let Meng Huaijin take the test questions for the county exam, which is indeed a waste of talent.

The contents of the county examination are the most basic. Can you recite the Four Books of Denim, determine whether the poems with rhymes and subject matters can be written, and then make a essay on ethics. These contents have fixed formats and cannot be violated by temple taboos, imperial names and holy taboos, etc.

Cheng Qing thinks it is just a basic exam, and the foundation is solid enough and you can pass the county exam at will.

The temple taboo is the name of the late emperor of this dynasty, the imperial name is the name of today's son, and the holy taboo is the name of Confucius... All relevant words involved in answering questions are taboos. If you cannot avoid them, you must missing a stroke or use other words instead.

Cheng Qing has also memorized these requirements. It can be said that she is fully prepared to participate in the county examination.

She herself was full of confidence and was afraid of capsizing in the gutter. She didn't dare to be careless before she passed the county examination. She returned to Yangliu Lane and focused on preparing for the exam.

Neither Liu nor her sisters disturbed her. Now no one mentioned how the court would judge Cheng Zhiyuan, and Cheng Qing himself did not think about it.

The family was isolated from the outside world. Cheng Zhixu, who didn't know the second house, returned to Nanyi, and even went to the fifth house to visit Mr. Cheng Wu the next day. The uncle and nephew exchanged greetings for a while, and Cheng Zhixu went straight to the topic:

"Uncle Fifth, what did you and Uncle Six think? The eldest brother is now in the center of the whirlwind. According to my nephew, he has no hope to escape from his crime. Why did you secretly help Cheng Qing? He gave hope, and finally disappointed Cheng Qing... Alas!"

Although Cheng Zhixu had only been back to Nanyi County for one day, he had heard passively and took the initiative to inquire about what happened after Cheng Qing helped the spirit back home, he had basically known everything.

Only the people of Nanyi believed that the prefect Yu was forced to petition a few students and released Cheng Qing to participate in the county examination. Cheng Zhixu had been an official for many years. After thinking about it, he realized that things would not be that simple.

Although the court has not issued a final judgment document, there is a 90% chance that Cheng Zhiyuan will be convicted. At this time, the prefect Yu agreed to Cheng Zhiyuan's son participate in the county examination, so it was only Nanyi Cheng who tried his best behind his back.

In other words, it is Mr. Cheng Wu who stands up to support Cheng Qing.

Cheng Zhixu didn't understand why.

For the sake of Cheng Zhiyuan, who was going to be convicted by 99% of the time, it was also a huge waste for the clan to use these resources.

Master Cheng Wu frowned, "The clan has not done much effort, it is Brother Qing who has made a good relationship."

There is a cause and effect.

Like Mr. He, he is kind and generous, and is also a decent old gentry in Nanyi County. He has never met many times, but he just admires Cheng Qing.

Like Cui Yan, who is the son of a merchant from another place, is also a person who knows how to seek profit and avoid harm, but he is willing to stand up for Cheng Qing.

There is also County Magistrate Li, a county's parents. If Cheng Qing had not left a good impression on him during the Mid-Autumn Festival Cultural Meeting, he would not have agreed to come forward for Cheng Qing... His family knows that there are so many young children in the clan, and the fifth master did not have the energy to take care of them one by one. Cheng Qing stood out based on his own ability. On the day of helping the spirit, he left a deep impression on the fifth master. Later, he deepened and consolidated step by step, making the fifth master begin to pay attention to Cheng Qing!

Unfortunately, Cheng Zhixu refused to believe this. The two of them couldn't go together, and they parted in disagreement.

Cheng Zhixu believed that unnecessary resources were wasted in the clan, and the fifth master also had doubts about Cheng Zhixu. Cheng Zhixu suddenly advanced to two levels before the new year, and went to a very wealthy place to work. He had no news in the clan. What was going on with this promotion? The fifth master was not very at ease.

Since last year, many things have changed. Meng Huaijin and Cheng Zhixu both said that the fifth master felt that he had lost control.
