Chapter 112 Contracting Hot Searches
Zhenbeihou fell ill!
This is news that all the dignitaries in the entire capital know.
As for the reason for falling ill, the entire capital also knows it.
Planting melons at the foot of the mountain...
This poem is spreading in the capital and even the whole world at a rapid speed. Xie Jian is a first-class Confucian scholar. Many Confucian officials and scholars are on Xie Jian's side, so they will naturally help spread.
Therefore, the fact that Zhenbei Hou did not allow the concubine's son to stand out for the sake of his legitimate son was spread along with this easy-to-understand poem. This is the root cause of Zhenbei Hou's illness.
Scholars are noble. Those scholars who are born in the legitimate sense that they rely on their own talents and do not want to suppress their illegitimate brothers like this.
Those scholars who were born in ill are even more crazy because Yi Yun's experience was somewhat what they encountered. They were obviously better than the brothers who were born in the legitimate world, but because the other party was born in the legitimate world, they could not match their status in the family no matter how hard they tried.
Yi Yun's poem talks about their hearts.
"Call for Yi Yun!"
"Why are the contrast between the preface of Wangjiang Tower with brilliant literary talent and the melon-planting poem with ordinary writings so great!"
"A father is not kind, should the son be filial?"
"The identity of Zhenbeihou's legitimate son is revealed!"
...
The hot searches in the entire capital were contracted by Yi Yun. The first is that everyone expressed their sympathy and support for Yi Yun, the second is the process of the matter, and then it triggered social discussions. Some experts and professors also began to express their opinions, and the last is the spontaneous human behavior that the majority of netizens were filled with indignation.
Even Yi Yun's eldest brother Yi Qian, who was not exposed to the mirror and only existed in words, was also exposed by someone.
"What my father does have to do with me!"
Yi Qian felt so wronged. He didn't dare to go out during this period. In the past, many classmates saw him, but although he didn't say anything, his eyes couldn't stand it, let alone the children of other officials who had grudges with his family. As soon as he saw him, he would be sarcastic.
"Sister, I'm so miserable. Do you know what those people say about me? I've been drinking, meat and forest every day, looking for flowers and willows, and I have harmed the maids in the mansion. There is even that hateful thing, saying that I won't even let the forty-year-old woman go."
Yi Zhi saw her elder brother's painful expression, but she didn't know how to persuade her. There were all kinds of rumors about her elder brother. At first, she said that her elder brother was obsessed with beauty, but later she felt that everyone said that she would not attract attention in this way. Some storytellers said that her elder brother had special hobbies and liked old women in their forties.
"This is true! How do you ask me how do you know? The daughter of my mother's cousin's distant aunt is in the Marquis' Mansion. She was ruined by the eldest prince of Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion. She was crying at home every day. My mother's cousin's distant aunt is 42 years old this year. She came to argue for her daughter, but she was arrested by the eldest prince and was...one hundred times, one hundred times!"
Yi Zhi was very angry when she heard these rumors and also ordered her servants to inquire. Once she found that there was a storyteller who spread rumors, she would arrest him and send him to the yamen to sue them for slandering Zhenbei Hou Mansion and her elder brother.
But these storytellers are too cunning. They don’t name them anymore, and just say: “Everyone knows the hottest person recently, yes, it’s the eldest son of the Yang family. Today we will talk about what this eldest son did.”
Isn’t Yang separate the words Mu and Yi?
But in this way, Zhenbei Hou Mansion cannot arrest these storytellers. If they do not name and arrest them, isn’t it just that they feel guilty?
"Sister, you said I was so unfair. I have never done any of these things, and it was not me who told my father not to let Yi Yun become a student of the Imperial College."
Yi Qian felt that he was too unfair. He had never done any of the rumors spreading outside, such as bullying maids. Just the Yi family rules, he deliberately touched the maid's hand, and his father would interrupt his hand when he knew about it.
I didn't tell my father that I wouldn't let Yi Yun become a student of the Imperial College. Even if Yi Yun passed the exam, he wouldn't make any mistakes with him. He was the eldest prince. As long as he didn't make any mistakes, his future title would only fall on him.
"Brother, you have been staying at home and studying hard recently. Don't take these rumors to heart."
Yi Zhi could only persuade her. After saying a few words, she looked at her elder brother with a look of indulgence and didn't know what to say, so she found a reason to leave.
"Miss, how can people outside slander the eldest son like this?"
Hearing his maid's angry words, Yi Zhi just smiled and said, "My second brother once said to me, what stories do the people in the world like to hear the most? Those inspirational stories and stories of resistance. What you like is the distinction between black and white. Since there is white, there must be black. This is called mobilizing the emotions of readers!"
"The second young master..."
"Let's go and see my second brother."
When the maid saw that her lady was going to find the second young master, she was a little reluctant to speak. Although the second young master was also the lady's brother, she was not the same biological mother as the lady. The lady should stand on the side of the eldest young master.
"What, do you think I should stand on my elder brother's side and isolate my second brother?" Yi Zhi saw what her maid was thinking and said softly: "There is no grudge between the elder brother and the second brother. This is just a little entanglement between my father and the second brother, but no matter what, it cannot change the fact that the second brother is my second brother."
Yi Zhi explained, but she didn't tell the maid in one sentence. When she heard what happened to her father and second brother in the court, she immediately found her mother, but happened to see her mother angry in the room and smashing porcelain.
She thought her mother was angry with her second brother and was about to comfort her, but she didn't expect to hear what her mother said in anger.
"Yi Wentai, you bastard, if you want to act, you will act by yourself, and insist on taking me, which makes the world think that my wife of Zhenbei Hou Mansion is a jealous woman who can't tolerate children in the concubines."
"Madam, be careful."
"At this time, I'm still cautious about what he said. Yi Wentai wants to give himself the image of an evil father, so he can do it himself. I'll endure it before, but this time Qian'er was scolded, and I can't stand it."
"Madam, the eldest son is also from the master, so the old man will definitely have a proper solution."
"Hmph, how can I not understand him? He thought everything was under his calculations, but he didn't expect his good son to give him a poem directly. He was probably even more angry than me. He never thought that his son would be tricked by his son. Not to mention, I felt a little more relieved when I thought of this, but I was just suffering from Qian'er."
The conversation between her mother and Aunt Rong, who served her mother for many years, made Yi Zhi frightened and she didn't go in. After she digested the words, she realized that her mother did not refuse to let her second brother enter the Imperial College, and her father did not really love her second brother at all.
My father did this on purpose.
Although she didn't know why her father did this, and although her mother was very angry, she was not really dissatisfied with her second brother. She knew that she should go around with her second brother more, and she herself liked her second brother very much.
Lanxinyuan!
Yi Yun lived a leisurely life, but Yi An was careful every time he entered and left the yard, and did not dare to make any mistakes. After he learned about the conflict between his young master and his master in the court, he was walking on thin ice. If there was a priest, the master would not do anything to the young master, but he might not be sure to vent his anger on his own as a book boy.
Every time he was discharged from the hospital these days, he saw General Manager Quan smile at him and asked carefully whether there would be any missing items in his life in the yard. The more he spoke kindly, the more frightened he felt.
"Young Master...Young Master, otherwise we will move out."
Yi An made a suggestion that this time, Mr. Yin gave a lot of money to rent a yard in the capital.
"Why did you move out? Is it because of the servant who disrespects his second brother?"
When Yi Zhi walked into the yard, she happened to hear Yi An's words, and her pretty face immediately sank. Yi An quickly explained: "Miss Third, no, I just... I just said casually."
"My second brother is the second son of the Yi family. When I returned to the capital, I can't live outside. Seeing that you have been with me for many years, I won't punish you this time. I'll let me hear it next time, but I'll let General Manager Quan find you."
"Thank you, Miss Three, Yi An won't dare to do it next time."
Yi Yun, who was in the study, smiled when he heard Yi Zhi scolding Yi An outside the door. Everyone outside the Yi family was supporting him, but everyone in the Yi family despised him, but this sister often came over and was very close to him.
Yi Zhi walked into the study and found a chair very skillfully. She didn't bother to see Yi Yun practicing calligraphy. She quietly picked up a book from the side and read it. It was not until half an hour passed. Yi Yun finished writing the copybook and put down his pen before speaking.
"Second brother, stop staying in the study all day. Let's go to the capital to have a stroll. I know a very interesting place."
"I'm going out now and I won't be surrounded by people."
Yi Yun smiled. He was the days he stayed in the mansion. Every day, scholars came to visit him, but he refused them all.
"Second brother, Enko will be in three months. Many talents from all over the country have already entered Beijing, so let's join in the fun."
This year, there is Enke, and Enke in Dali Dynasty is usually in July. Many students from farther away have already arrived in the capital. Even nearby students have arrived one after another. In the next three months, students in the capital will reach their peak.
As more students become, they will naturally gather together. This time it is said that Jie Yuan from three different states entered the city at the same time. Prince Rong booked the largest restaurant in the city to welcome the three Jie Yuans, and also entertained many students in the capital.
