According to the development of events in his dream, his eldest son Tang Yihai had his core replaced more than a month before the college entrance examination.
And now, Tang Yihai has returned from the college entrance examination.
Tang Ming looked quietly at the young man standing in front of him.
The boy has clear eyes and always has a faint smile on his face, making people feel that he is honest, upright and gentle.
After being stared at for so long, Tang Yihai looked a little uncomfortable. "Father, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, come in."
Tang Yihai, who was walking behind, watched his fourth brother pestering their father with questions, while the father, who seemed difficult to get along with, was very patient.
Hearing the news that his father had returned was more of a surprise to Tang Yihai.
But it looks good so far.
"Brother, how did you do in the exam?" It was Tang Sanfeng who walked over.
"Not bad, I got second place."
"Then, brother, you are a scholar now, aren't you?! I heard that if there is a scholar in the family, you can be exempted from paying taxes. Is that true?"
The imperial examination systems were different in different dynasties. Tang Sanfeng didn't know whether this dynasty, which did not appear in history, had such regulations.
"It's true." Tang Yihai nodded with a smile. This was also the reason why he chose to pursue a career in science.
First, he has a certain literary foundation. Second, once he passes the examination to become a scholar or a judge, he will have many privileges.
This is good for him and his family.
"Come on, big brother, try to pass the imperial examination in three years! The future of our family depends on you!" Tang Sanfeng stood on tiptoe, patted his big brother's shoulder, and encouraged him with a smile.
Tang Mingan, who hadn't walked far and could hear them, said: "..."
"What? You're exaggerating." Tang Yihai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "With my father at home, there's no need for me to be the breadwinner of the family."
"That's different," Tang Sanfeng followed his elder brother into the main hall, "Scholars don't have to kneel when they see an official..."
Tang Mingan:)
A scholar does not kneel when he sees an official, but an official has to kneel when he sees him.
Without listening to the conversation between the two siblings, Tang Mingan went back to the house to find his husband.
"Not to mention being a procurator. When my eldest brother becomes a procurator, even the county magistrate won't dare to mess with our family!"
Hearing the gnashing of teeth in her words, Tang Yihai was puzzled, "What's the matter? Has something happened at home recently?"
"It's a long story to tell..."
Just as Tang Sanfeng was thinking about what to say, Tang Erhai came out of the house.
Tang Silong's voice was so loud that the whole family could hear him clearly. Tang Erhai hurried out after finishing the work at hand.
"Brother." Tang Erhai greeted his elder brother when he saw him approaching.
"Nihai...? What happened to your hand?"
Tang Yihai immediately saw his right hand hanging around his neck, which was wrapped with circles of white cloth and looked seriously injured.
"It's broken. I need to take care of it for a month."
"Is Erhai's matter related to the county magistrate?" Combining Tang Sanfeng's words just now, Tang Yihai thought of it immediately.
Hearing his elder brother's question, Tang Sanfeng nodded with an unpleasant expression.
She didn't know it originally, but she couldn't help but ask her second brother a few days ago and found out.
"Let's talk in my study." Tang Yihai looked solemn and went over first.
After entering his eldest brother's small study, Tang Sanfeng carefully closed the door, and Tang Erhai found a chair and sat down.
Tang Yihai put the books he brought back aside and walked over to sit with them.
Tang Erhai expressed his guess without waiting for them to ask.
He had always thought that the cause of this incident was the wooden boat he carved. He became famous within a few days after the wooden boat was delivered, and it was inevitable that some people would be jealous.
However, he didn't expect that the person behind the scenes was so cruel that he actually wanted to cut off his right hand.
After listening to Tang Erhai's account of the whole incident, Tang Yihai frowned.
"If someone was jealous and wanted to destroy Er Hai's hand, why would the county magistrate get involved?"
"Could it be that the county magistrate was bribed?" Tang Sanfeng guessed.
"It's possible, but the likelihood is low." Tang Yihai shook his head, denying Tang Sanfen's guess.
"Why?" Tang Erhai was puzzled.
"First, if the rich businessman was really jealous, he could have just spent some money to hire a gangster to do it himself, instead of going through the trouble of going to the county magistrate and spending a lot of money."
"It seems to make sense..." Tang Sanfeng nodded thoughtfully.
"Secondly, our uncle is a public figure. Do you think the county magistrate would dare to offend us because of a small wealthy businessman?" Tang Yihai smiled.
Generally speaking, only Jinshi are qualified to be officials.
However, if there are not enough Jinshi candidates, some people will be selected from the candidates to serve as officials.
Secondly, their uncle has been teaching in the academy for many years and has countless students. Who knows if any of them holds a higher official position?
The connections alone are enough.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, the county magistrate will not easily provoke the accused.
"That's right!" Tang Sanfeng slapped his thigh, "Just because of our uncle's status as a leader, others would not dare to provoke him easily."
"So, why would the county magistrate take such a big risk to do this? Unless..." Tang Erhai said thoughtfully.
When Tang Yihai and Tang Sanfeng heard his words, a guess suddenly came to their mind.
"Unless there is someone behind the county magistrate!" Tang Sanfeng said with certainty.
"Unless the county magistrate is not the ultimate mastermind behind this matter." Tang Yihai said.
The two people said different things, but their meanings were similar.
"Well, it seems we have thought of it." Tang San slumped in the chair with his head down and said sadly.
"The reborn girl is the biggest suspect. Who else has a grudge against us?"
"Actually, when I heard them say that it was the county commander who ordered it, the first person I thought of was her." Tang Erhai said expressionlessly.
"Wait! I think I remembered something!"
Tang Yihai suddenly spoke, attracting the attention of both of them.
"I seem to remember... after the Prime Minister's daughter reminded the hero to pay attention to our grandfather, there was a description of her psychology..." Tang Yihai frowned and tried to recall.
"The gist is... she was reborn into the past, and everything has not started yet. She wants to see how Ye Qingyu, a hypocritical and pretentious person, can still live a life of luxury and be loved by countless people in this life..."
"Fuck... why is mom so hypocritical?!" Tang Sanfeng was a little angry and cursed in a low voice.
Hearing Sanfeng's cursing, Tang Yihai wanted to tell her that girls shouldn't swear, but in the end he thought better of it.
Even he couldn't help but want to curse, so don't force the girl.
Tang Yihai continued to analyze the information he had just remembered.
"The prime minister's daughter's past life can be said to be tragic, which made her so jealous and envious of a person after her rebirth..."
Before Tang Yihai could finish speaking, Tang Sanfeng couldn't wait to interrupt.
"Let me explain this. After all, I have read and written novels for so many years, and I have a general idea of the psychological journey of this reborn girl." Tang Sanfeng said.
"Okay, come on." Tang Yihai said helplessly after the conversation was interrupted.
However, Tang Sanfeng was right.
Tang Yihai's analysis is based on existing evidence, while Tang Sanfeng relies on her many years of experience in reading novels.
There are only a few tricks.
As for Tang Erhai, he could only sit quietly and listen to their analysis.
"Continuing with what Big Brother said just now," Tang Sanfeng knocked on the handle of the chair, "It's nothing more than that in the previous life of the reborn girl, her father's status was very high and therefore he was loved by many people. There are several possibilities for this premise."
"The first is that our uncle has become an official and holds a high position of power. As his only younger brother, our father's status will naturally rise as well. The second is my eldest brother..."
"Me? I probably can't..." Tang Yihai said subconsciously.
He has a good idea of his own capabilities. With his current abilities, he can just barely pass the exam, but he will have to work harder to go further.
It's not easy to be in the officialdom, and Tang Yihai is not interested in it.
Of course, this was Tang Yihai's previous thought.
The Tang family is facing a crisis now. Is he wondering whether he should try harder?
"I know. I mean the original eldest brother."
Tang Sanfeng's words interrupted Tang Yihai's train of thought, and the study room fell into a long silence.
Seeing that the atmosphere had become awkward because of his quick words, Tang Sanfeng opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
Finally, she spoke up, breaking the quiet atmosphere in the room, "Sorry... I just spoke too quickly."
"It doesn't matter," Tang Yihai curled his lips, "After all, you two came earlier than me and have feelings for Tang Yihai. If it were me, I would feel bad too."
"Okay, Sanfeng, please continue." Tang Erhai said, trying to skip this topic.
Even so, the atmosphere was not as relaxed as before. Tang Sanfeng wiped his face in his heart and then re-analyzed the situation just now.
"In short, when someone in the family becomes an official, my father-in-law, as a member of the family, also rises in status.
However, this is far from enough to make the reborn daughter so jealous. After all, as the daughter of a prime minister, no matter how unfavored she is, her status is still noble. "
"And we have always overlooked one person..." Tang Sanfeng paused.
"Our grandfather Ye Juncheng?" Tang Erhai asked uncertainly.
"That's right!" When mentioning this key point, Tang Sanfeng's voice rose uncontrollably.
But when I thought about the other people at home, I quickly covered my mouth.
"Why did the Prime Minister's daughter have to mention our grandfather to her fiancé, the Prince of Huai'an?" Tang Sanfeng paused, looked at them and continued.
"It's most likely a question of our grandfather's background!"
"What's the reason?" Tang Yihai wondered.
"I went to my grandfather's house for dinner a few days ago and found out from chatting with my grandmother."
In fact, Tang Sanfeng deliberately moved the topic there.
Fortunately, this topic did not offend his grandmother, so Tang Sanfeng got the answer easily.
"Our maternal grandfather was adopted by his parents, so... it is very likely that our maternal grandfather is related to the Huai'an Palace!"
"This also explains why the reborn girl is so jealous of my father and wants to get rid of us as soon as possible."
"It seems to make sense." Tang Erhai said thoughtfully.
"So what should we do now? Find out about our grandfather's background?" Tang Yihai asked.
"This...how can we investigate if we don't have the manpower?" Tang Sanfeng said awkwardly.
"So you have a lot of theoretical analysis, but you can't even implement the first step of practical operation?"
Tang Sanfeng looked at his eldest brother awkwardly, then at his second brother.
At this time, she was extremely envious of the princes in the novels.
The boss just talks and the subordinates run around.
She also wants to have subordinates like this.
Just as the three of them fell into awkward silence, Tang Silong's shout broke the awkward atmosphere.
"Big brother, second brother, third sister! Come out and eat!"
The author has something to say: Author: Sanfeng, don’t be jealous, you will soon be able to experience this feeling.
