Madam Qiu's words startled Magistrate Qiu so much that he sat bolt upright. If he had tea in his mouth, he probably would have spat it out.
"How did you find out, Madam? Is it true?"
If that young man from the Wang family is truly a scoundrel, then his going to Zhao Village to seduce girls is quite intriguing.
Whether the purpose was to facilitate the marriage or to displease the Zhao family's daughter is uncertain.
The only unexpected variable was that the Zhao family girl knew martial arts.
Feeling humiliated and having to pay compensation, he became enraged and thus hired someone to commit the crime, which makes sense.
I suspect there are two possibilities.
That young man from the Wang family deliberately went to provoke the young lady from the Zhao family, hoping to take the opportunity to make her dislike him.
That way, he wouldn't have to marry a woman.
Another possibility is that, out of disgust for women and out of fear of his biological father's tyranny, he sought out bad luck from them, and as a result, he truly suffered bad luck.
"Alas, such a promising future, ruined just like that!"
Magistrate Qiu suddenly understood. He had always felt that Wang Hangqi's behavior in court was strange, and now he finally knew what was wrong with him.
However, if you do evil, you must bear the consequences.
If they could deal with Zhao Family Village in this way, it means they could use the same methods to deal with others.
Magistrate Qiu stroked his chin, pondering whether he should continue digging deeper.
On second thought, that family had already moved far away from Qingyang County, so let's give them a way to survive.
Who wants to be exhausted like a dog when they can spend their free time at home with their wife?
Magistrate Qiu thought irresponsibly.
In Qingshan Xiaozhu, due to Wang Hangqi's arrival and the series of events that followed, the family's only two daughters are now not allowed to leave the village.
No strangers are allowed to enter the village.
Even carts and horses that come to pick up goods, which were previously allowed to sit in the village, are now all blocked outside the village.
However, there were some clever families who, since the elderly didn't have much ability to do housework anyway,
All he did all day was find a big tree to sit under and fan himself.
Wherever you wave a fan, it's still waving one. So they set up a tea stall right outside the village and started selling large bowls of coarse tea.
Some elderly people sell boiled eggs, while others sell cucumbers from their gardens.
A small market has formed at the entrance of Zhao Family Village.
The village entrance was bustling with activity, but inside the village, things felt safer and more secure.
Zhao Qinglin took Zhao Qinghe with her, and besides going to the clan school to study every day,
At other times, Zhao Qinglin was engrossed in practicing martial arts, while Zhao Qinghe was engrossed in tinkering with her poisons.
Therefore, Zhao Qinghe often went out to catch poisonous insects and snakes.
Now, none of the younger children in the Zhao family, especially Daya, want to play with their aunt.
I feel like my aunt is a big devil.
Zhao Qinghe was happy to have some peace and quiet; taking care of children was just too much trouble.
They either pooped, peed, or cried.
Erbao, Sanbao, and Erya have all turned one year old.
Now is the time when you need to keep a close eye on things, it's exhausting.
They can only walk when they're put down; they run quite fast when put down, but they fall even faster.
Then she cried loudly, as if the sound of a demon piercing her ears.
This terrified Zhao Qinghe. When Da Ya and Da Bao were little, they weren't so mischievous; they were very well-behaved. How could these little ones be so scary?
Therefore, at a young age, Zhao Qinghe even had the idea of not getting married or having children.
The Zhao family members in the county town, including their prospective son-in-law Xu Dongsheng, had clearly gained weight thanks to the feeding by Zhao Qingyan and Madam Huang.
However, he did not slack off in his daily physical exercise routine.
After all, the autumn imperial examinations consist of three sessions over nine days, and someone in poor health would definitely not be able to handle it.
Especially in the sweltering heat, one careless mistake can lead to heatstroke, which can be a serious problem.
Days passed by, and Huang Shi and Zhao Qingyan's expressions grew increasingly grim.
Why? Because Mr. Zhao Qianci has been having a smooth run of good fortune lately, without any unexpected incidents.
Others might think that things have finally turned around, but Zhao Qingyan and her granddaughter always believed that this was a big surprise.
I'm worried that if something unexpected happens, no one will be there for the old man, and something terrible might happen to him.
On the ninth day of the eighth lunar month, before dawn, the Zhao family got up very early.
After washing up, I ate a nutritious breakfast that didn't include porridge.
This is to prevent situations where, after drinking porridge, one might need to urinate but have nowhere to go during the check-in process for the exam.
After breakfast, Zhao Qingyan took out everyone's documents and handed them out to them.
The exam baskets prepared for the Zhao family this time were specially made, with a size that fits perfectly under the exam hall seat, and they had four wheels.
Of course, if you don't mind the cramped space, you can pick it up and place it on the seat.
It's long and narrow, but divided into several partitions.
The top layer contained tarpaulin, nails, a hammer, small wooden strips, and medicine to prevent snake bites and plague.
The second layer contains a raincoat, an umbrella, clothes for changing, a towel, and a bar of soap.
The third layer contains instant noodles, oil tea noodles, dried meat, small biscuits, pickled vegetables, and washed raw cucumbers and tomatoes.
The bottom shelf contains writing brushes, inkstones, water droppers, and other similar items. There's also Huoxiang Zhengqi Water (a traditional Chinese medicine for treating diarrhea, headaches, fever, and inflammation).
After everyone understood how to disassemble the exam basket, they all gave Zhao Qingyan a thumbs up.
Zhao Qingyan's intelligence is beyond praise; after all, words fail me, for there are always too many surprises and unexpected moments.
The natural red clay stove, charcoal, and kettle were kept in a separate basket.
"Sister, why do we need to bring hammers and nails into the exam room?"
Zhao Qingyan patted Zhao Qingyi's little head.
"You're the youngest, but luckily you're tall enough."
My sister is worried that it will rain heavily when we go to the examination room.
The tarpaulin is long and narrow. Once you get there, you can stand on the seat and table and nail the tarpaulin to the ceiling. There's a rope near the entrance.
When answering questions during the day, roll up the curtain with a rope.
When you go to sleep at night or when it rains, you can untie the rope to block the rainwater from coming in.
As for fire safety, boiling water, and lighting candles, you know how to do all that, so your older sister doesn't need to worry about that. But there are still some things you should be careful about.
The first thing to do after entering the examination room is to hurry up and go to the toilet and fix this tent, understand?
After hearing this, Zhao Qingbei nodded to indicate that she had no problem, but her eyes involuntarily turned to look at her grandfather.
Zhao Qianci glared at him, "You brat, what are you looking at me for?"
Zhao Qingbei shook her head. "Sigh, is my sister worried that God is about to unleash a major attack?"
Zhao Qingyan patted Qingbei's head and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I hope everything goes well for you this time."
Answer the questions you know the answers to; leave the ones you don't know the answers to and don't write anything down.
You're still young, you don't need to put too much pressure on yourself. You're already very good.
Little Zhao Qingbei beamed with joy after being encouraged.
