Chapter 708 The Young Lady Doesn’t Want to Marry Anymore 39
At this point, both Ji Wenqing and the Ji family have made a huge leap forward compared to their lives in the plot.
Tao Ran knew in her heart that her goal had been achieved at least 80%. Soon, she will be able to leave.
Ji Xiucaike tried it, and Tao Ran also bought the house in the county where his sophomore year had entered.
The scholar couldn't help but be happy that he had such a day. He lived in the city, he had the study room he dreamed of, and he could study without any worries... These things made him cry for joy several times.
The house was painted and decorated, and Ji Xiucai returned to the village with honor.
The leader of the village set off firecrackers for him, and the villagers lined the streets to welcome him, singing and laughing all the way. The Ji family set up a flowing banquet to entertain all the villagers who came to congratulate them.
What does it mean to honor one's ancestors and return to one's homeland in fine clothes? This is it! Even if he fails to pass the examination later, he will still be the first scholar in this area of ten miles to be qualified to take the provincial examination in hundreds of years! Even though his reputation has declined, he is still the most knowledgeable person in this area!
At the banquet, Ji Xiucai told everyone that in a few days, his family would have to temporarily move to the county seat to prepare for the exam. Before he won the election, he could only visit his hometown occasionally. I hope everyone can help take care of my house.
As for the few acres of farmland at home that did not require tax, he handed it over to the village leader and let the village distribute the future output.
They also distributed all their livestock to the villagers to thank everyone for their care over the years...
The villagers were reluctant to leave, but also expressed their support and regarded Ji Xiucai as a role model for their children. That night, the villagers refused to go home for a long time, begging Ji Xiucai to write one picture after another.
Zheng Xiucai from the neighboring village also came secretly, but he was in the corner, unable to do anything but look at the red-faced Ji Chun and feel sour and resentful...
Ji Xiucai enjoyed the benefits of studying. The day after returning to his hometown, he and Liu Chun'e returned to their rental house in the county town.
After receiving guidance from several teachers, his output of opinions became sharper and his obscure writing style also changed. In addition, in the past few months, Tao Ran would deliberately instill a lot of new knowledge into him after dinner, so his horizons had also broadened a lot.
In this way, while his self-confidence has grown, his articles have improved a lot compared to before, from argumentation to elaboration to expression of content and overall structure.
When Tao Ran went to the provincial capital, through the introduction of a certain wife, he took some of Jichun's articles to a well-known local scholar. The other person felt that although the writing style was a bit unfamiliar, many aspects were remarkable and there was still great improvement. space.
Hearing such comments, Tao Ran also gained some confidence in Ji Chun.
So the last few times she went to the provincial capital, she would look for books in major bookstores. In just a few months, the three floor-to-ceiling bookshelves in Jichun's rental house have been filled with books of various types.
In addition, Tao Ran also used a little trick to make a proud famous teacher in the provincial capital owe him a personal favor, and successfully obtained the opportunity for Ji Chun to study one day every five days.
In addition, she used her money and reputation to successfully recruit a famous teacher from the county. Ji Chun can go to class every other day. Well, private lessons!
Ji Chun was filled with gratitude for his daughter's hard work. He vowed that he would win the exam, stand out, and never let down his daughter's expectations.
So now, every day, he is like taking a shot of chicken blood, focusing on studying without any distractions...
The day after the banquet, Ji Wenying also returned to the county to supervise the painting and decoration of the new house, so only Tao Ran, Chen Fang and Ji Wencai were left in the old house.
Three days later, something happened.
At another hour, a fire suddenly broke out in the small forest in front of the village.
The intensity of the fire was extraordinary, and it burned into a large area within a short time.
When the clanging gong sounded, it was accompanied by the crowing of chickens and the barking of dogs, waking up all the nearby villagers.
Of course, this also includes Ji's family.
Ji Wencai was the first to rush out of the door.
Soon, Tao Ran and Chen Fang got up. When they heard the shouts of "help" and "put out the fire", they also ran away with buckets... They joined the ranks of neighbors who were also running towards the woods...
A few dozen breaths later, a dark figure suddenly appeared in the grass outside Ji's courtyard and started to pull at it.
A closer look revealed that this was not a dog, but a human being.
After another twenty breaths, the man disappeared.
There was also an extra person in Ji's house.
The visitor is Zheng Xiucai.
He can't stand it anymore!
His whole life was ruined at the hands of the Ji family! This family is so bad. They framed their son and ruined their own future. But not only did they gain fame, they also gained profit! Are you kidding me?
That Ji Chun actually passed the scientific examination?
joke! What a joke!
What is Jichun's level? Don't others know about him? What the hell is that? To put it bluntly, it wasn’t because their family was ingratiating themselves with the Feng family that they are what they are today? Without the Feng family's guidance, would they still be famous and wealthy?
Ji Wenqing? Talented woman? Pooh! Just a vixen! What a good thing he can be if he seduces Feng Er into a coma! I don’t leave home every day, either in the county town or the provincial capital. I go out every two days. I don’t know how many men I have accompanied to get where I am today! I don’t know whose support I got to make some crazy makeup box to make money!
Ha, what a joke! How hard is it to make money these days? If no one helps, who does she know? Who will buy it? It's also those rich people who have shit in their heads, so they are deceived by a little girl like her!
Qinqin said that Feng Er gave her away because of Ji Wenqing's instigation. This Ji Wenqing is very bad!
To put it bluntly, the Ji family was aware of the threat from the Zheng family, which was why the entire Zheng family suffered so much!
The Ji family took away everything that belonged to their Zheng family and climbed so high step by step. How could he bear this breath? How can this debt be settled? The Zheng family was destroyed, and the Ji family had to be buried with them!
Especially after hearing that everyone in the Ji family will move to the county seat soon!
By then, it will be extremely difficult for him to take revenge!
So he had to do something quickly!
Finally, the emperor paid off. In the past few days, the two adult men of the Ji family and the most powerful woman Liu Chun'e have gone to the county town. Now there is only a daughter-in-law, a daughter and a brat left in the entire Ji family.
He didn't believe that a group of women and children could turn the palms of their own hands!
This time, he will bring disaster to the Ji family and Ji Wenqing!
His son was imprisoned, and Ji Wenqing couldn't escape!
The Zheng family's reputation has been ruined, and the Ji family can't even think of hiding away!
He wants to bankrupt the Ji family and ask them to fetch water from bamboo baskets. The most important thing is Ji Xiucai. After this time, Ji Chun will never want to take the provincial examination! He doesn't allow it! Ji Chun can only be a poor scholar! No, no, no, he wants to make Ji Chun the shame of this village and the shame of eight villages within ten miles!
For this reason, Zheng Xiucai had his own plan.
