Chapter 7 The Migrating Fox

Although it was cold and covered with cotton, from Su Ziji's perspective, you could still see some heat dissipation on the meat pie. The discussions from the neighbors who took the meat pie also came to their ears.

"Who is this?"

"The Hu family sent it to neighbors. I heard that the second master of the Hu family married a wife who was an official from another place and died in office, leaving behind an orphan girl and widowed mother. Without the support of the backbone, he was afraid that people would spy on him, so he moved to surrender to his uncle..."

"Why should I join the boss of the Hu family and not the parents' home?"

"Who knows... Maybe the chaste woman doesn't want to remarry. The boss of the Hu family is just a scholar. Without such a strong force as the second house, he can't bully the mother and mother. Moreover, although he defected to his uncle, he actually bought the house next door and opened it up, but he didn't live together. He just took care of him. The boss of the Hu family went to the countryside to buy land yesterday, and happened to avoid this scene."

"Hehe, my wife is the famous Hedong Lion Roar. Boss Hu has a strong desire to survive..."

"No wonder now that the mother and daughter are not supported by men, so they are inconvenient to invite neighbors to have a drink. Distributing meat pies is also a joy to move in."

The gossip news spread faster than flying.

Su Ziji burst into laughter. Seeing Ye Weihan speeding up, he followed him and saw a team of carriages passing by.

Not far from the Hu family, among the guards and maids, a mother and daughter came down. Not only the Hu family's wife went out to greet her, but she was surrounded by a group of people watching the fun early on in the street, with their eyes growing like roots. She looked at the mother and daughter without any life, as if she could take advantage of her.

February is still winter, and I can’t tell when I’m wearing thick clothes. Besides, the mother and daughter are covered in veils, nodding to the neighbors, then entering the Hu family, and the door is closed immediately.

Although outsiders can't see the appearance of the official wife and the lady, the Hu family's wife looked very ugly, which made people guess it. This excitement was worth the return of the ticket price.

After the bustling dissipation, the wife of the Hu family's eldest wife looked at her and saw that her young son betrayed her and looked very enthusiastic about the orphanage and widowed mother. She touched her cheeks that were no longer smooth as before and spat with a hatred: "Call the Dalang back! Go to the second wife with a slutty face. Don't forget that this is his aunt and sister. Can you bite a bite of meat or a bonus?"

"Madam, how much do you want to bite?" A crisp voice sounded behind the wife of the big house, making her whole body tremble, and she was inexplicably creepy. When she looked back, she saw a pair of charming eyes.

"The mother and daughter seemed a little familiar just now." Su Ziji, who couldn't see the situation inside and withdrew his gaze, frowned and sighed, and then heard a snorting behind him. When he looked back, he found that it was Ye Buhui.

She shouted, "You might as well go quickly, dad has gone far away, what are you looking at!"

Well, the irritable little girl got angry again and hurriedly followed. At this time, the Spring Festival was over, and every shop was open, and pedestrians were bustling. When passing by, people greeted each other, and Ye Weihan would greet each other.

When he arrived at the door of a house, Ye Weihan stopped, Su Ziji stepped forward and knocked on the door, taking the waiting time to observe.

"Zeng Lingchu Zeng Xiucai?"

Zeng Lingchu's father was a Tongzhi. The house was rich and high walls, which were not shabby, but there were no disciples. The lanterns were a bit old, and the snow in front of the steps had not been wiped out, which was not like the atmosphere of Tongzhi's house.

The person who opened the door was a young woman with a charm, but her face was tired. When she opened the door, Su Ziji saw her fingers cracked, and couldn't help but think of Ye Buhui's little hand also having frostbite.

In ancient real life, there was no beauty of talented men and beautiful women in time-traveling novels. Beauties also had to work hard, scholars would take up wives, and when the family was not well off, they could not afford to hire long-term workers, and the mistress would also have to do some work.

However, people of this era are used to it, and Ye Weihan's attitude is very low: "Mrs. Zeng is safe, come and pick up the manuscript."

"Please come in, my husband is in the study." Mrs. Zeng moved inside.

The two followed in. There was a middle-aged scholar drinking tea inside. When they saw the person coming, they stood up: "Brother Ye, please sit down. The manuscript you want has been written."

He spoke not loudly and seemed peaceful, but he was a little lacking in his energy, and he was slightly panting, with a tired look on his face. Su Ziji was very familiar with this fatigue. He looked at the manuscript when he stayed up late. He glanced at the manuscript. He wrote a brush, but there were not many words in one piece. It looked like a lot, but it might not be ten thousand words.

Ye Weihan smiled and said, "Thank you all, thank you for your hard work, I should read it."

As he said that, he took out an article and read it quickly, he couldn't help but take a photo: "What a wonder, I deserve to be Zeng Jia."

Zeng Lingchu smiled, without any further reaction.

Ye Weihan pondered, calculated, and said, "Leave it to me, my store will give you 30% of the royalties, how about it?"

"That's fine!"

Zeng Lingchu's attitude was still light, but he did not object, so he nodded and agreed.

Su Ziji did not say anything, so he stepped forward to take the manuscript. Ye Weihan smiled and pointed casually: "This is my nephew Su Ziji. Maybe you have heard of it too. The son of the Su family is going to try it out now. You can give a guarantee."

"oh?"

Zeng Lingchu had a tired look on his face. He looked at Su Ziji casually, coughed lightly, and nodded his head, which was acceptable.

Not only did the five people protect each other's marriage, but at least one student in the county examination also had a guaranteed marriage. Zeng Lingchu had done too much. Besides, Su Ziji had indeed heard of it, so he immediately wrote a guaranteed marriage.

"You have to worry." Ye Weihan took out a piece of silver from his arms. Although he had cut it with clips, the base was white, thin and dark, with silver with ninety-eight-colored patterns - this is the rule.

It is said that there are only twenty students in the county, and there are one or two hundred people taking the exam. For this item alone, each student can earn an average of ten taels of silver.

Su Ziji stopped his hand, raised his eyes and looked at Ye Weihan. The Ye family was in trouble, but he still silently prepared the silver for the settlement.

"Now, Ye Weihan must ask where the money comes from."

"Can you say that you kill someone and rob money?"

"Well, it's not too late to repay Tong Sheng. Anyway, I owe a lot of favors."

He immediately took over the security and said goodbye with Ye Weihan.

"Boss Ye brought his nephew to see you, why do you look faint?" Mrs. Zeng looked at the two people who were going out and asked, "Isn't your friendship very good?"

"The friendship is good, and the royalties I gave were very kind, but the Ye family's store was too small." Zeng Lingchu sighed melancholy: "My family is in this county, and there is only one property. The land is only 80 acres. Others rented silver and earned only 30 taels of silver a year. Others thought that my family was an official family, and it was really difficult to take."

"I have no choice, it's okay to help. I can't give it to the Ye family after the next book." As he said that, Zeng Lingchu shook his head and sighed.

When he went out, the snow was a little heavy, and there were fewer pedestrians on the road. Su Ziji looked at Ye Weihan's back and suddenly shouted: "Uncle Ye?"

"What's wrong?" Ye Weihan looked back in surprise.

"...I will definitely take the Zhongxian exam." Su Ziji said this when he said it.
