次日(ri)商(shang)议写覆(fu)呈(cheng),王德、王(wang)仁说(shuo):身(shen)在(zai)黉宫,片纸不入公门(men)。不(bu)肯(ken)列名。严(yan)振先只(zhi)得混(hun)帐覆了几句话,说:赵氏本是妾(qie),扶正也是有(you)据(ju)的。严(yan)贡(gong)生说与律例不(bu)合,不肯叫儿子认做(zuo)母(mu)亲,也(ye)是(shi)事实。听候(hou)大(da)老爷天(tian)断。那汤(tang)知县也(ye)是(shi)妾生(sheng)的(de)儿(er)子,见了覆(fu)呈(cheng)道:律(lv)设大法,理(li)顺人情,这(zhe)贡生也忒多事(shi)了!就批(pi)了个(ge)极长(zhang)的批(pi)话,说:赵(zhao)氏既扶过(guo)正(zheng),不应只管说是妾(qie);如严贡生不愿将儿子(zi)承继,由赵氏自行拣(jian)择,立贤立爱可也。严贡(gong)生看(kan)了这(zhe)批,那头上(shang)的火(huo)直冒了有十几(ji)丈(zhang);随即写呈(cheng)到(dao)府里去(qu)告。府尊也是有妾的,看(kan)著觉得多事,令(ling)高要县查案。知县查上(shang)案去,批了个知详缴(jiao)。严贡(gong)生更(geng)急了,到省(sheng)赴按察司(si)一状;司批‘细故赴府县控(kong)理。’严(yan)贡生没法了,回不得(de)头(tou)。想道:周学道是亲(qin)家一族,赶到京里求(qiu)了周学道在部里告下状来,务必(bi)要正名分。只因这一去,有分(fen)教:‘多年(nian)名宿,今番(fan)又掇高科;英(ying)俊少(shao)年,一举便登上第(di)。’
