All Hail Cousin Brother

Madam Yu also thought about reducing expenses, and other people in the mansion might feel dissatisfied, so she said, "Choose a few decent jewelry from my brother-in-law and send them to the various courtyards in the mansion, which can be regarded as compensation. "

Yu Youyao nodded: "That's also appropriate."

The things I took out from my grandmother's hands must be the same, and the clothes won't fit after I wear them a few times.

Nice jewellery, which can be heirloomed in the bottom of the box.

After that, Yu Youyao asked again, whether the wages of the farm laborers and hired workers in the village shop could be paid every ten days instead. Seeing that the price of rice was rising day by day, the hired money was paid early, and with the money, they could stockpile more rations.

It's just that, in this way, the stewards of the shop will have to work harder.

Yu Youyao suggested that the steward of the village shop should give out ten catties of rice every month as a reward.

In a bad year, there is no better reward than rice.

After thinking about it for a while, Mrs. Yu felt that this matter was feasible, and the two discussed many details together.

At this time, Grandma Liu entered the room with a solemn expression: "Madam, it's too bad, the young master Shanfang of the clan was just taken away by a team of officers and soldiers."

Yu Youyao's breathing was stagnant, and Yu Shanfang was the tribute student who passed the exam this time.

Thinking about it, my cousin had sworn before that Song Mingzhao would not be able to come to the Yu Mansion, and she hadn't known about it at the time, but now a light came to her mind.

Before Old Madam Yu could ask, Yu Youyao had already opened her mouth and asked anxiously, "Go out and find out what's going on? Is it only brother Fang who has been arrested, or have all the candidates for this exam been arrested?" , and then send someone to Zhen Guohou's Mansion to inquire about Song Shizi's situation."

Grandma Liu didn't realize the meaning of these words, seeing the anxious look on the young lady's face, she immediately ran out.

But when Mrs. Yu opened her mouth at Yu Youyao, she realized something, her mind buzzed, and she almost couldn't sit still: "Yaoyao, you mean..."

Her mouth was trembling, and she couldn't even speak clearly.

Yu Youyao nodded solemnly: "Grandmother still remember what brother Shande and another brother in the clan said behind the rockery three years ago?"

How can you not remember? It was also because of that that the announcement of the imperial examinations was delayed for a long time.

For a long time, she couldn't eat or sleep well, fearing that a catastrophe would be imminent, and it was not until after the reexamination in front of the hall that her nervous heart slowly calmed down.

Madam Yu's face became ugly: "A promise to be a student, cheating in the scientific examination."

Yu Youyao nodded solemnly: "There is no impenetrable wall in the world. The appointment of disciples first came from the Jinyu Building under the name of Uncle Ningyuan's mansion. In the past, the Marquis of Weining's mansion was powerful and the imperial concubine Lu was favored. They have nothing to fear, even if they are exposed, as long as there is insufficient evidence, it will not be enough for the Weining Hou Mansion to bear the blame."

The rumor came from Jinyu Tower, but Jinyu Tower is a restaurant, and there is a mixed bag of fish and dragons. Without definite evidence, no one dared to implicate Weininghou Mansion.

Therefore, even if they knew about the fraud, they mostly covered it up.

This was the reaction of the Yu Mansion at the time.

Madam Yu understood the key point: "Now that the Marquis of Wei Ning has lost power again and again, he has been demoted again and again, and has become Uncle Ning Yuan, and the Royal Concubine Lu has also been demoted, so someone seized on the matter of making a promise to be a disciple and made a big fuss. , This," said the latter, even the tone of his voice changed: "The scientific examination involves the future of thousands of students in the world, if this matter is exposed, it will not only be Chao Gang, but the whole world will be in chaos..."

Isn't the Great Zhou Dynasty chaotic enough now?

How many people's hearts, people's grievances, and the backlog of people's anger have been soured by the Youwang case?

King Dongning seems to be stable in Shandong,

But destroying the old codes of the ancestors and burning the codes of the ancestors has angered many literati.

Zhejiang Dusi and Qingliu fought to the death, Japanese pirates frequently harassed the border, burned, killed and looted.

Coupled with a case of cheating in the scientific examination, the Confucian students were dissatisfied with the court guidelines, and the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty lost all support.

I'm afraid this country...

Yu Youyao's mood is also very complicated.

Old Madam Yu closed her eyes, twirling the beads non-stop, and the room became quiet.

Such news is easy to inquire about.

When Grandma Liu went out for about a stick of incense, she hurried back into the house: "Lady, the chief examiner is suspected of leaking the questions, and the candidates for this exam are suspected of cheating. All the candidates for this exam , were all arrested, even, even Song Shizi was no exception."

Regardless of whether he is Mr. Xianyun's disciple or the eldest son of the Marquis of Zhenguo's Mansion, no one can get away with cheating in scientific examinations.

This news undoubtedly confirmed Yu Youyao's previous guess.

With mental preparations, Mrs. Yu also calmed down a bit: "Our family only won one this time, and the ranking is not high. We have also read the article, and it is quite satisfactory. Even if you take out the test paper for review and deliberation, it doesn't matter. Come on his head."

This is luck among misfortunes.

Yu Youyao nodded: "After the brothers came to Beijing, they obeyed their grandmother's orders. Most of them stayed in the courtyard and studied quietly. They seldom went out to mix up the disputes among the candidates, and they rarely gathered together. There are traces to check, and this matter probably has nothing to do with our family."

Grandmother trained two important court officials, who are very prestigious in the clan.

After the elders of the family came to Beijing, they also obeyed their grandmother's words, and the Yu Mansion took good care of them, and their food and clothing were also taken care of.

When you are comfortable at home, you don't need to go out all the time.

Mrs. Yu felt more at ease, and thought of Song Mingzhao: "It's a pity, Mingzhao, as Mr. Xianyun's disciple, he was originally amazingly talented, but he suffered an indiscriminate disaster. His great achievements have now become the target of public criticism, as long as fraud is involved, the lower the ranking is, the safer it will be, and those at the top will be subject to strict scrutiny, I am afraid that this time he will have to suffer a lot."

As long as cheating in scientific examinations is involved, no matter how good the family background is, it is useless.

Once it is verified, it must be strictly dealt with, and try to give an explanation to the literati and students all over the world. After all, once these people make a fuss, the court can't stand it anymore.

Don't say that the main examiner and fellow examiners will be punished severely, and many candidates involved in fraud have died in prison.

Even if they survived the torture by chance and were released in the end, unless the court was extra gracious, they would no longer be able to take the imperial examinations, study hard for ten years, and their future would be ruined. implicated.

I can't even manage it, so I can only watch with helpless eyes.

Yu Youyao lowered her head and said nothing.

The more Mrs. Yu thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt: "With Mingzhao's talent, I'm not worried that he will really be implicated, but if he goes to prison, he will have to shed his skin even if he is not guilty. How can ordinary people bear it?" what!"
