Although Cheng Xueyi resigned due to illness, the real reason was quickly figured out by the patriarch Cheng Zhiyan. This Cheng Xueyi was obviously squeezed out by Cheng Zhong and was embarrassed. He was trying to make progress by retreating and forcing Cheng Zhong and his wife to start a clan school. If it were a child from an ordinary family, this wouldn't be a big deal, but Cheng Zhong is Cheng Xiaozhi's only son! Cheng Xiaozhi made great contributions to the Cheng family. If his son was kicked out of the family school, he would be criticized by thousands of people. Cheng Zhiyan¡¯s son is Cheng Lian, who is very likely to be admitted as a scholar. Seeing that the county examination is approaching, if Cheng Xueyi gives up at this time, his success will be in vain. It seems that Cheng Xueyi had this aspect in mind, so he resigned with such confidence. Wrong, it¡¯s definitely not Cheng Zhong. But many times, the basis for judging many things is not who is right or wrong. It was related to his son's future. Although Cheng Zhiyan hesitated, he did not delay and found Liu on the same day. Cheng Zhiyan felt a little emotional when facing the county magistrate's wife whom he once needed to please. "Three years ago, Mrs. Liu was still graceful and elegant, but three years later, Mrs. Liu has become like an ordinary village woman, with coarse cloth and wooden hairpin. In the past three years, she seems to have aged ten years. The news that Cheng Zhong could no longer attend ethnic studies was like a sap blow that sent the Liu family into a spin. Faced with Liu¡¯s pleading, Cheng Zhiyan could only say: If Cheng Xueyi no longer resigns, he can also drive Cheng Zhong out of the clan school - I¡¯m afraid this is the result Cheng Xueyi wants, right? Cheng Xueyi¡¯s home is located in the western half of Guangfulin City, where the terrain is relatively high. During the rainy season, there is no need for rainwater to pour out of the house. Therefore, respectable people will live in the west. Cheng Zhong, who was forced to go to the house to plead guilty by Mrs. Liu, felt aggrieved. He was too much of a coward to be a time traveler. He only had the reputation of being a fool. He was withdrawn, and the little wife who was about to get it was gone. I finally did something fun for a while, but I haven¡¯t finished my harsh words yet, and now I have to apologize to others again! When Mrs. Liu came to the door carrying the fruit and pulling Cheng Zhong, Cheng Xueyi was lying on the chair and groaning, as if he was seriously ill. "Is your health feeling better, sir?" Mrs. Liu said with a smile on her face, while gently placing the fruit in her hand on the table next to Cheng Xueyi. The fruits Liu brought were only two kilograms of pork and a few candied fruits. This was extremely heavy at the time. It is rare for people to have a meal of meat. Not to mention such a fatty piece of meat? Because I am poor, I like to buy fatty meat because the fat meat can produce oil when fried. A piece of lean meat can only be eaten for two or three meals even if you save it, but a piece of fat meat is different. It is refined into oil and packed. When cooking, add such a small piece, and the vegetarian dish will immediately turn into meat. When eaten, the smell of pork makes the whole dish more fragrant. Therefore, a piece of fat meat can last all winter! Originally, Ms. Liu had no money to buy these, but she just got some betrothal gifts returned from the Wang family yesterday, so she bought some gifts that were barely affordable. Cheng Xueyi opened his eyes slightly, turned his head to look at Mr. Liu, closed it again, sighed slowly, and said, "You're still not mad at your young master." Mrs. Liu secretly complained in her heart. Coming here, Cheng Xueyi felt quite angry. However, when he spoke like this, it was not that there was no room for change. He wanted Cheng Zhong to apologize and admit his mistake so that he could "change" his face! "Zhong'er, why don't you kneel down!" Mrs. Liu shouted angrily. Of course she was doing this for Cheng Xueyi's sake. "But how could Cheng Zhong be willing to kneel down to Cheng Xueyi? He stood straight and refused to kneel no matter how Liu suggested it. Ms. Liu had no choice but to bend down and say carefully: "Sir, Zhong'er is still young and ignorant, so he contradicted you. Now he knows that he was wrong, and he came here to admit his mistake to you. Whether you beat him or punish him, it doesn't matter. It's up to you." As he said that, Ms. Liu glared at Cheng Zhong again. Helpless, Cheng Zhong could only take half a step forward and said reluctantly: "Sir, I know I was wrong." Cheng Xueyi just snorted, and then said slowly: "Sister-in-law, I can't accept your gift. Let's take it back." In Guangfulin City, the Cheng family is related to each other. Cheng Xiaozhi is several years older than Cheng Xueyi and is of the same generation, so Cheng Xueyi calls Liu's sister-in-law. Seeing that Cheng Zhong was so unrepentant, Cheng Xueyi became furious again and did not even look at the gift Liu brought. A piece of fat meat and a few bags of fruit sent him away. Will he still have the nerve to hang out in Guangfulin City in the future? Cheng Zhong always had to kneel outside his gate for a day and a night before he would give up. He had to correct this trend, otherwise what would happen in the future? Liu is not unaware of Cheng Xueyi¡¯s thoughts. But he felt sorry for his son, so naturally he refused to do this. This one?That¡¯s it. What to do? At this moment, someone came to the door again carrying gifts. It was none other than Cheng Zhiyan who arrived with his son Cheng Lian. This was their second visit. "Learn Yi, learn Yi." Cheng Zhiyan's voice rang outside the door, "You should get well soon, otherwise all the children of the Cheng family will be ruined." After entering the door, Cheng Zhiyan Seeing Ms. Liu, she immediately complained: "Xiaozhi family, look at your precious son, your husband is so angry! If this affects the baby's study, your family will be the sinner of the entire clan!" Listen to Cheng Zhiyan Attacking Mr. Liu, Cheng Xueyi became more and more proud. Otherwise, how could he show his importance as a gentleman? Otherwise, how could we let Cheng Zhong know how big of a mistake he had made? Otherwise, who would take this gentleman seriously in the future? Cheng Xueyi was still lying on the bed with his eyes closed, but the pride between his brows was revealed. Seeing Cheng Xueyi's "rascal" look, Cheng Zhong was furious. In anger, Cheng Zhong suddenly said loudly: "Sir -" As soon as Cheng Zhong spoke, everyone fell silent. I want to hear what he will say, including Cheng Xueyi, who is "lying corpse" on the rocking chair. "If it were before, Cheng Xueyi wouldn't have cared about what Cheng Zhong would say at all, because he couldn't even speak a sentence, but after experiencing the previous snatching of the spot, Cheng Xueyi's perception of Cheng Zhong changed. It¡¯s no coincidence that Cheng Zhong was able to pronounce a couplet that even Cheng Lian couldn¡¯t figure out. Moreover, Cheng Zhong's words to grab him were even more thorny. The thorns were all piercing his heart. He couldn't refute them at all. He didn't think it was just a coincidence or a sudden inspiration! "Mr. doesn't want to teach students. Is it because he is worried that if one of the students becomes a scholar, he will take his job?" Cheng Zhong said. After teaching the apprentice, the master starved to death. This has happened since ancient times. That's why Cheng Zhongcai said this, which actually means a bit of excitement. "Zhong'er!" Before Cheng Zhong finished speaking, Mrs. Liu shouted sharply to stop. But Cheng Zhong¡¯s words were more effective than Liu¡¯s and even Cheng Zhiyan¡¯s many pleas. Cheng Xueyi, who had always been there, stood up from the recliner. "Arrogant!" Cheng Xueyi said: "Even if I give all my money to teach you, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to become a scholar in your lifetime!" What Cheng Xueyi said is not unreasonable. The Cheng family members in Guangfulin City are not Although there are many people, only Cheng Xiaozhi and Cheng Xueyi have been selected as scholars for decades among hundreds of people. As for Jinshi, only Cheng Xiaozhi has been selected. This is mainly because the imperial examination is too difficult. Cheng Xueyi originally wanted to scold Cheng Zhong, but he forgot that Cheng Zhiyan and his son were still standing beside him. Cheng Xueyi woke up after the words were spoken, but it was already too late. The water thrown out by your words cannot be taken back. However, he didn't care. Even if Cheng Zhiyan was the clan leader, he wouldn't dare do anything to him. " He just tempted himself to say such words. Was this an unintentional act by Cheng Zhong, or was it intentional? If it was an unintentional act, forget it, but if it was intentional, this child would not be simple. There was a smile on Cheng Zhong's face, and he said: "Really? Sir, do you dare to bet with the students?" "Bet? What are you betting on?" Cheng Xueyi suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart. "It's very simple. Just bet on whether anyone in my Cheng clan school can pass the county examination. I bet on it!" Cheng Zhong said. He said yes, then Cheng Xueyi could only gamble not to lose it, otherwise there would be no need to gamble. "Okay, I'll make a bet with you." Cheng Xueyi said, "However, we don't bet on others, let's bet on whether you can pass the county examination." In Cheng Xueyi's view, the reason why Cheng Zhong proposed such a bet was naturally to put his hope in It was placed on Cheng Lian. Sure enough, the embarrassment on Cheng Zhong's face was revealed even though he tried his best to hide it. "It seems that you are still not good at practicing!" Cheng Xueyi couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart, and said slowly: "What? You don't dare to gamble anymore?"
