Chapter 175: The debt collector is here again
The relationship between fellow villagers in this era is not as good as that of the future generations who have just cheated fellow villagers. It is not because people's hearts are bad. In this era, transportation is inconvenient and difficult to go out. It is difficult to see a fellow villager. It is inevitable that you can see a fellow villager when you are outside. In addition, if you are outside, you need to send something to others from time to time or ask someone to send something to others. To put it bluntly, if you die in a foreign land, you cannot be buried outside. The most taboo thing for everyone is to live outside, and if you die, you will be buried hundreds or thousands of miles away and become a lonely ghost. Therefore, you must also help your fellow villager, work together, buy a coffin, restrain your corpse and send you back to your hometown.
If you lose your reputation in your fellow countrymen, it will almost be difficult to move forward. Unless you are a person who has a broken cane, you will most likely be willing to help if you have any difficulties or some simple things.
Now the fellow villagers have already taken up the relationship with the two juren of the Ye family, and they invite each other three to drink. Ye Chunqiu refused to go to such things. Fortunately, there was a father who was the signboard, and the child was ignorant, which was understandable. Ye Jing naturally inevitably appeared in that kind of occasion, and sometimes he was helped back by others drunkenly.
Relations of human relationships are almost the main theme of this era. In the same year, classmates, if you have some connections, you can't hide it. Ye Chunqiu refused to go back to Hexi. It was because of this. This is why, suddenly, in Hangzhou, countless people who are indisputable, are in trouble. Although he knows that the other party has good intentions and can understand the other party's thoughts, if he returns to Fenghua County, he will not be able to live this life?
What's more, it's nothing wrong with staying here to study and make friends.
With the help of fellow villagers, Ye Jing and his son have rented a house in Hangzhou, not far from the shore of Xizi Lake, which is quite quiet.
After staying for a few days, someone came to visit him. Ye Chunqiu opened the door. This person looked familiar, and he was actually the accountant in the gambling house.
The accountant must have known Ye Chunqiu's identity, so he didn't dare to be arrogant to Ye Chunqiu, but he smiled and said, "Oh, it's Ye Jieyuan, Ye Jieyuan made me find so much trouble."
Ye Chun has always been grateful to people in such gambling houses, so he said lightly: "I don't know what you can do."
The man said, "That's right, Ye Jieyuan's uncle, by the way, it's Ye Hong. He owed hundreds of taels of silver in the gambling house. After that, the liquor rolled around. The total amount of 3,200 taels of silver was a total of 3,200 taels of silver. He refused to pay it back. The gambling house was a small business, so how could he not ask for it? Now that we have been tied up, we should have found his family and asked his father to pay it back. It was said that his father fell ill in bed with anger. Moreover, the Ye family in Hangzhou was in a mess because of a dispute with their relatives about land, so they couldn't afford to pay it out."
He narrowed his eyes, looked at Ye Chunqiu up and down, and continued slowly, "Since that's the case, Ye Jieyuan is his nephew at least, how do you say this account?"
Ye Chunqiu looked at him strangely: "Why do you ask me for the debt he owes? Besides, where did I get so much money?"
This person was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. This was not a few dozen or hundreds of taels of silver, but a few thousand taels. If it was just a small amount of money, they would not dare to be arrogant for the sake of Jie Yuan. But the amount was too large and they had to beg for it.
So he gritted his teeth: "Ye Jieyuan, the ugly saying is ahead. If you don't send money within three days, your clan will suffer. The rules in the gambling house must break his bones piece by piece."
Seeing the man's harsh words, Ye Chunqiu's face pulled down: "Is that true?"
"Of course!" The visitor showed his hideous face: "Otherwise, the gambling house would not be able to open, and it would be impossible to lose a piece of bone."
"Oh." Ye Chunqiu nodded, then bowed to the visitor: "Since that's the case, can you ask me for something?"
When the visitor saw Ye Chunqiu surrender, he felt quite contented and said, "Ye Jieyuan, what is your identity and what is the identity of a villain? As long as you pay the debt, everything is easy to say. Don't say one thing, it's okay to have a hundred things."
Ye Chunqiu sighed and said, "Actually, it's just a small task, it's not a big deal. Ye Hong is a student uncle after all, so when you break his bones, please be gentle for me. Chunqiu thanked me here."
"..." The person's head buzzed and he felt a little cramped.
With a bang, Ye Chunqiu had already closed the door fiercely.
Being turned aside.
The man looked at the dark door and couldn't help but curse: "What kind of world is this? The world is so declining. Even relatives are so unreliable these days." As he said that, a trace of terrifying flashed through his eyes: "Wait and see, don't think you are Jie Yuan, do you still think I'm scaring you? If you don't break the bones on Ye Hong's body, I'll take your surname."
After saying that, he left rushingly.
………………………………………
These days, Chen Rong and Zhang Jin have also come, helped to move some furniture, and at the same time, they have made Qiu Feng.
Ye Chunqiu was unwilling to study, so he thought about the affairs of Tongji Female Medical Hall, so he compiled a book to his uncle, asked him to send some girls, and asked him to buy some apprentices, so he was prepared for any trouble.
Jie Yuan's reputation is always shining. There have been many people visiting him recently, but the most important thing now is to pay homage to the Grand Master.
Early this morning, Ye Jing and Ye Chunqiu went out early and took gifts to the governor's office. The governor's office was actually in the temple. He was a scholar. His learning in this era had risen to the level of faith, so he had to have a temple to worship the great sages and teachers and wise men.
Zheng Jingzhong had been waiting for these two guys to come. This provincial examination was indeed unexpected. Even he himself did not expect that when the name was torn off, the top three of the provincial examinations were almost won by a father and son. So when the list was released, Jiangsu and Zhejiang were in an uproar, and even Nanzhili was alarmed. Many people wrote books and asked around. A few days ago, even Wang Hua, the Minister of Personnel, also wrote books and came.
Zheng Jingzhong has always admired Wang Butang very much. This emperor teacher who is upright and unwilling to rely on Liu Jin is willing to give up his bright future and would rather come to work in Nanjing as a free job. It is really respectable.
In this year, the juren may not be able to be favored by the juren, but they are afraid of being so famous. Zheng Jingzhong also gained some benefits, and he also called the father and son to join the juren, and won the top three provincial examinations. This is a good story, and it is not allowed to be kept in history.
Ye Jing and his son arrived at Minglun Hall, and then the disciples fell to the ground on their worship and said together: "I have seen En Mansion under my own jurisdiction."
Strange.
Zheng Jingzhong was a little stunned. Well, this older one is his young father. His father called him Enfu, and his son also wanted Enfu. This... well, I guess when Emperor Taizu made the rules of study, he never thought of this level.
