Eating big melon is so refreshing

On April 25, the results of the college entrance examination were announced. Almost immediately, everyone in Qinghe County who could hear Xiao Chunya's voice heard her cheering.

"Passed! Brother Zhao Ming passed the exam and got the second-to-last place. There was another person who failed to pass. As the saying goes, as long as you are not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed."

Xiao Chunya paused and laughed, "Guawei is Li Datou's uncle. He said you could choose any other name, but you insisted on naming it Daoyi. Isn't that the last one?"

Li Daoyi: Isn't his name a prayer for peace? When did it become the last one? He expressed his dissatisfaction.

There were six scholars who passed the examination in Huangyang County, namely Gu Yue who ranked 17th, Cheng Li who ranked 21st, Wen Daya who ranked 31st, Jiang Shangzhou who ranked 33rd, Zhao Ming who ranked 44th, and Li Daoyi who ranked 45th.

Only one person from Qinghe County passed the exam, Shi Lang, who ranked 20th. The rest of the candidates either did not meet the requirements and were not eligible to register, or were too poor at math and handed in blank papers.

The sense of superiority they once had was gone, and many candidates became discouraged and self-pitying. In their eyes, arithmetic was only a subject for lowly merchants, and strength tests were the concern of crude and reckless warriors.

If it were any other dynasty, perhaps these pedantic Confucian scholars would still be able to make some noise. But the Daye Dynasty respected the strong, and the current emperor unified the country with his mighty military force. If these Confucian scholars dared to cause trouble, the end result would be that they would be deprived of their honors, demoted to civilians, or even exiled to work in the mines!

Zhaojia

hall

Zhao Erlang received a letter from Zhao Wulang, the content of which was so exciting and full of twists and turns that even operas would not dare to write it like this.

As expected, Yang Yan's two sons followed him to Zhaojia Village and became guests of Zhao Bei's house.

The two brothers who refused to change their bad habits saw that Zhao Dalang's wife Liu was beautiful, so they touched her behind her back. As a result, Liu framed them and raped her. She resisted fiercely and castrated the two brothers. Many people in the village saw this scene. Who would not praise Liu for her chastity and heroism?

The Yang brothers were thrown out of the village by the villagers. The main responsibility for this incident was the connivance of Zhao Yang. This time, the village chief and the three brothers Zhao Dong unanimously decided to send Zhao Yang to a nunnery to practice Buddhism. Zhao Bei didn't dare to say anything for fear that his brother would kick him out of the clan in anger.

Next, Erniu and Wang met privately, and his witchcraft was exposed. Three scarecrows pierced with needles were found in his room, on which were written the names and birth dates of these three people: Jingger, Xiaochunya, and Xiaoqiulin.

Erniu was too young after all, and he confessed everything after being frightened by the adults. He didn't think he was wrong, he just thought these three people were annoying, and he wanted to hear others praise them.

The village chief usually had a kind face, but he immediately changed into a different person when it came to his grandson. He couldn't drive Erniu out of the village, but he could drive him out of the school! Even if such a narrow-minded person became an official in the future, he would still be a disaster to the people.

Everyone's attention was focused on Zhao Dalang. Was he really unaware of Erniu's meeting with Wang? Did he really not feel resentful when his brothers took away the dozen acres of land that he was entitled to?

At this time, Liu revealed the evidence she had found long ago. Zhao Dalang, who was considered honest and simple by everyone, secretly gave his wife infertility drugs! Liu had a cold uterus and now she had been given infertility drugs for several months. She would never be able to have children again in her life. She wanted to go to the county government to sue Zhao Dalang for his ruthlessness and heartlessness!

"Brother, Uncle San and Father almost broke off the relationship between us. Now even Uncle Eldest and Uncle Second do not like you. The village chief hates Erniu even more. I don't think you, Erniu and Sanniu can live in the village anymore."

Zhao Wulang's divorce from Liu Xinhe in early February had already caused resentment, but the two of them had their own faults, so each was punished with fifty lashes. He didn't dare to go back to the village for the past few months, fearing that he would be scolded.

Zhao Wulang finally wrote in the letter that the whole Huangyang County was spreading gossip about his family, which made him a little irritated and uneasy, and he also wanted to come to Qinghe County.

"Third brother, come and take a look at the fifth brother's letter, it's quite interesting." Zhao Erlang said, "Xiao Qiang, find Xiao Qiu'er, don't let Xiao Chun'er know."

Zhao Sanlang finished reading the letter and said worriedly, "Brother, the old house is in a mess now."

Zhao Erlang's eyes were slightly cold, and he said, "I didn't notice that I was being set up for so long. I really underestimated this sister-in-law."

Zhao Sanlang was startled. Hearing his second brother's tone, he wondered, "No way? Why would my eldest sister-in-law do this?"

Xiao Qiulin was happily hugging the panda. He walked into the hall and took a look at the letter in his uncle's hand. He said, "I calculated that the time is about right, so I sent the letter three days ago."

"Now you can tell me why Liu did this?"

"Liu was married before, and everyone except her biological mother Zhuo thought she divorced because she couldn't have children." Xiao Qiulin said, "In fact, Liu's body was damaged by heavy bleeding during childbirth and she can no longer have children, so it doesn't matter to Liu whether the uncle gives her medicine or not."

Zhao Erlang frowned, "Then why did she want to divorce? I heard that the Shi family treated her very well. They let Liu take all the dowry back and also compensated her with 100 taels of silver."

"The old lady of the Shi family was once the wet nurse of Prince An. The Mr. Shi that Liu married was actually Prince An."

"What?" Zhao Erlang and Zhao Sanlang were very surprised. Prince An had many wives and concubines, but the ones who caught his eye were either ladies from famous families or daughters of wealthy families (with large dowries). Although Liu was quite pretty, she could be outdone by a maid in Prince An's mansion.

However, Prince An used his real name to marry Liu, which showed that he only treated her as a mistress and was unwilling to give her even the status of a concubine.

"Liu gave Prince An a son who is now six years old. He is smart and studious, but his only problem is that he has too much yin energy and can easily see dirty things. Many fortune tellers said that he would not live to be nine unless someone changed his fate."

"Change your fate? Is she coming for you?"

"It's not me, it's Fatty Sister." Xiao Qiulin's voice became a little colder. "If Master Mingyue hadn't found us two years ago, if Master Mingyue wasn't so prominent and Prince An couldn't afford to offend the Imperial Master, Fatty Sister would have been kidnapped by them and become that man's wife."

Zhao Erlang's body was a little stiff and cold, and he asked in a hard voice, "What will happen then?"

"The fat sister's luck has changed. She will die suddenly before the age of twelve. Then the luck of the whole family will decline and eventually die out."

Zhao Erlang's eyes were bloodshot, his breathing was rapid, his body was shaking, and he slammed the table into pieces with one palm. His eyes were full of murderous intent!
