Chapter 43

The woman was stunned. The shopkeeper was writing documents for him, and he was also stunned when he heard this.

"There are not many scholars in Dengxian in recent years, and there are not two in the town. The girl in your village is so lucky."

"Of course."

Ji Cheng and Yourong Yan said, "Among Mr. Han's grandson, the second brother of the Han family is the most promising. Maybe he can pass the imperial examination and Jinshi in the future..."

"Second brother."

Ji Ping glared at him, seemed to blame him for saying too much, and then smiled at the stunned shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, how long will it take to make these jewelry?"

The shopkeeper suddenly came back to his senses and subconsciously smiled: "There are many orders in the year, and it will take about one or two months to wait. Let's do this, you will come back after the year."

"Okay, thank you."

Ji Ping put his characters in hand and was about to leave.

"Little brother."

The shopkeeper suddenly called him, as if he felt that his reaction was too intense, he calmed down and said with a smile: "The Han family you just mentioned are from Xingtian Village?"

"Yes..." Ji Chengxin spoke out loudly, and then said in surprise: "How did you know?"

The shopkeeper forced a smile and said, "Uncle Han passed the exam for a scholar in middle age, and he worked as a teacher in the town. He is very famous. I have heard of the old woman. The girl in your village is really convinced."

"you do not say."

Ji Cheng smiled, "She is our Lizheng's daughter. She has been married to the Han family since she was a child. The villagers all said that she is blessed and might be an official wife."

It is no wonder that he looks like he wants to flatter, and it is not surprising that he has such expensive jewelry.

The two women didn't speak anymore.

The shopkeeper looked at the two of them leaving, but his heart sank. After the two women left, she told the clerk to look at the store and leave in a hurry.

After resigning from office, Mr. He also became a master, but unlike the academy where Mr. Han worked, it was a county academy. The students were either from the official family or from a wealthy family. Even Han Yi only transferred to the county after Mr. Han was admitted to the scholar. Therefore, he met the young master of the He family.

He's house is in the center of the town, a second-hand house. The grandmother and the grandson died early, and there were only four masters in the mansion. The grandson, Mrs. He, and a pair of children. Half a month ago, the academy was on holiday, and Mrs. He lived in the mansion in seclusion.

The shopkeeper of the jewelry shop was Mrs. He's confidant, surnamed Gui. Before the end of the month, she came in a hurry, and Mrs. He was naturally surprised.

"Why are you here today?"

Mrs. Gui glanced at the two maids standing beside her, stepped forward a few steps, and whispered in her ear.

Mrs. He's pupils shrank, "Are you saying true?"

Gui nodded and took out the document signed by the Ji brothers, "This is the document they used to put on jewelry in the store, which is to make makeup for Han Yi's fiancee."

Mrs. He stared at the statute and felt anger in her heart.

"Okay, very good."

She gritted her teeth in anger.

Han Yi was born into a poor family and she looked down on him. But her father-in-law and son both said that he was talented and would definitely be able to go to high school in the future, so she agreed to her daughter's thoughts. If Han Yi passed the child exam next year, he would settle the marriage. Unexpectedly, Han Yi had a marriage contract, but he came to provoke her daughter again.

As the wife of a juren, Mrs. He is not an ordinary shallow woman, so how can she not understand the little bit Han Yi’s heart?

She sneered, turned away the maid and said to Gui, "Don't make this happen for now, go and inquire first... Wait, Ji family..." She suddenly remembered something and looked at the signature on the document, "Yi Village, surnamed Ji. Recently, the gloves sewn by a woman with a girl named Ji in Yancheng for soldiers in the north were made by a girl named Ji in Yi Village? I heard that the emperor also issued an imperial edict."

This incident has spread throughout the northern region, and the government has issued notices. So even women like Mrs. He who don’t go out often have heard of it.

Gui was very anxious before, but he didn't pay attention to the young man's surname. Now after she mentioned it, she remembered it.

"Yes, it's the Ji family's surname is Ji, and there is also a scholar, the little girl's father, but she died early..." She suddenly stopped talking and said in surprise and uncertainty: "Madam, do you suspect that the two little brothers from the Ji family came to make jewelry this time, and the informant is true?"

Mrs. He looked at her casually, and her expression said everything.

Gui's face changed.

If this is true, then this matter must be true.

"The Ji family is smart." Mrs. He took a sip of tea, "Well, I will accept their love."

It is true that Han Yi's wealth and wealth were abandoned at the beginning and end, but if this matter starts, her daughter's reputation will be ruined. Obviously, Han Yi's fiancée's family did not intend to offend the He family. After sending Gui away, she called the housekeeper and reminded him: "When the young master comes back, let him come and see me."

"Second sister is so smart. I just saw that the shopkeeper's face turned blue."

On the way home, Ji Cheng smiled and said to his brother.

That's right, those words were taught by Ji Wan and others. They inadvertently revealed that Han Yi had been engaged in a marriage contract. Leave a name so that the He family can know that they are not completely unbacked. After all, the Ji family has produced a girl who has made contributions to soldiers from the north. Even the emperor awarded the imperial edict, the county magistrate and the prefect looked up to the Ji family, and the entire Yi Village was more glorious than the villages and towns next to it.

After the He family knows the truth, they will definitely appreciate it. Then the wrong party in this marriage must be in the Han family. And Mr. He is Han Yi's teacher. He will face the Han family with a light and no future troubles.

A kill of two birds with one stone.

After the two brothers returned home, they told Ji Wan about this, and Ji Wan was very satisfied.

"At three days at most, Han Yi will be kicked out of the academy and be ruined."

The He family is a scholarly family and pays the most attention to reputation. Han Yi did such a miserable thing, and Old Master He, who was once the prefect, would definitely not tolerate it.

She guessed right. That afternoon, when Young Master He returned to the mansion, he heard his mother telling the matter and immediately sank his face. But he still didn't believe that his friend would be such a villain. He didn't tell his sister about it for the time being, but sent someone to inquire secretly. After learning that the matter was certain, he went to report to his grandfather.

Old Master He has been an official for half his life and has always been honest and noble. He doesn't like those miserable people who are pursuing step by step. He will naturally not let him go to the county town that day, and directly assigned Han Yi's academic status in the academy and expelled him.

The Han family was stunned.

"Are you mistaken? My Yi'er is so good, how could he be fired from the academy? He is the master of Mr. He..."

Before Mr. Han finished speaking, he was interrupted by the dean of the academy with a cold face, "Han Yi steals the exam questions and acts despicable. Our dean did not send him to the government because he is a good disciple of Mr. He, but he was just expelled and cancelled the scientific examination. It was already tolerant."

The dean is also an old scholar and has been friends with Mr. He for many years. Naturally, he knows the inside story and has no affection for the Han family anymore.

"Wine drunk and talk wildly, disrespectful to teachers and elders, and linger in brothels, with unclean character..."

The villagers had already gathered around to watch the fun, especially the neighbor Song family. When the dean counted Han Yizhi's mistakes word by word, he was so angry that he waved over with a wooden stick.

"Okay, Han Yi, I have a engagement with my granddaughter, but I go to such dirty places. No wonder I want to break off the engagement. It turns out that I am fascinated by the brothel prostitute. I will beat you, a heartless beast to death..."

Everyone from the neighbors came to persuade him.

Han Yi was pushed to the ground in a mess, his face still a little stunned.

After hearing what Mr. Song said, the old yard was even more disgusted with Han Yi, and turned around and left.

"Dean——"

Han Yi felt panicked and quickly got up and was about to chase him, but he was tripped by the panicked crowd and fell to bite the mud.

The Han family's affairs spread quickly.

Stealing, disrespectful to teachers, walking around brothels, betrayal...every one is enough to drown.

Zhao Cheng immediately went to Xingtian Village and broke the engagement!
