Chapter 491 The tide rises [1](1/2)
September 5th.
Before the dawn was dawn, the Jiao family's mule cart appeared at Caishikou, only a hundred steps away from the execution platform.
Jiao Shun yawned and opened the curtains, looked at the dark ball in the distance, took out his pocket watch and glanced at the time, then calmly shrank back, preparing to hurry up and sleep again.
After experiencing the day of fire on the second day of September, Jiao, who was squeezed out, fell into a state of fatigue.
In addition, in the past two days, we have been quarreling with the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel, about the reconstruction of the Institute of Engineering and the quota of "professor". That is, Jiao Shun is strong and wants to change to a big turban with no effort in four bodies. I guess now
The lights are gone long ago.
To be honest, if it weren’t for today’s key node in the second phase of the small composition plan, Jiao Shun really wanted to sleep at home all day.
After all, tonight, I will play a tough trick with Aunt Zhao.
Alas ~
It is strange that scholars say, "cultivate oneself, manage the family, govern the country and pacify the world." If you don't practice your body and bones well, you can't even deal with more than ten women. How could you deal with the three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines?
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly lifted the curtain of the car. Jia Baoyu rubbed his hands and climbed onto the car. Seeing Jiao Shun with his eyes closed and leaning against the pillow, he couldn't help but envy him: "Brother Jiao has indeed seen the world, and he can still rest assured at this time.
”
Jiao Shun raised his eyelids and glanced at him, and said weakly: "What a worry-free thing? I'm just overworking recently and I really can't lift myself up."
To put it bluntly, it wasn’t your mother and your sister-in-law who caused it!
The old saying goes, "It's not that a family doesn't enter the family." This originally means that there will always be similarities between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but Jiao Shun never expected that both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pointed their skills on this.
Say...
Wang Xifeng was also shocked like Jiao Shun. Ping'er said that she even doubted her life after she returned home.
"Brother Jiao."
Jiao Shun Luanfei's thoughts were interrupted by Jia Baoyu again, and he heard him ask: "When will this matter be finished?"
"If it's fast, it's five or six days, and if it's slow, it's about ten days."
Jiao Shun randomly estimated a date. A while ago, he was quite impatient with Jia Baoyu, but now his identity is different, so he naturally became much more tolerant.
Jia Baoyu said 'oh' and wanted to get off the bus with a little depressed feeling.
Jiao Shun hurriedly reminded: "Don't run around first, it's dawn now. If you are sneaking here, you will inevitably have some troubles."
Jia Baoyu said "Oh" listlessly again, then sat honestly in a corner of the mule cart, dazed in a daze.
Jiao Shun looked up again and glanced at him, thinking that this kid had been squeezed out too?
Tsk ~
The strange thing about Mrs. Wang would value Xiren, it turned out that it was because of the fishy and fishy mutual cherishment.
Jiao Shun joked with sincerity, and sat upright and leaned against Baoyu. As a new father, he naturally could not ignore the adolescent children.
Of course, in addition to this mentality of becoming a father for the first time, Jiao Shun was also worried, afraid that Mrs. Wang would have any secret calculations about what she did that day.
So in the past few days, he would tie Baoyu around him whenever he had free time so that Mrs. Wang could be afraid of being afraid of her.
"Cough~"
Jiao Shun cleared his throat and asked with a smile: "Why do I think you are not in high spirits? Is it because it is still worth it for the essay to be posted on the execution platform?"
Jia Baoyu shook his head and sighed with a melancholy look on his face: "I just don't want Xue Er... Brother Xue and sister Baoqin will leave Beijing so soon."
After a pause, lowered his head and added weakly: "I know I was the one who let me down on Lin Meimei, so I hope she can live happily before Baoqin moved into Xiaoxiang Pavilion, I haven't seen her laugh so happily for a long time.
Now.”
That's because you are the biggest factor that makes Lin Meimei unhappy. It would be strange if she is happy when she sees you.
Jiao Shunxin complained, but said, "Don't you have your sister Xing?" Besides, in the past six months, Miss Lin's body has become much healthier, and she has become less than one sick.
moon."
It is definitely not a good sign for ordinary people after more than half a year of illness, but it is an amazing progress for Lin Daiyu, who has been ill for one quarter a year.
In addition to Xing Xiuyan's care, Jiao Shun may have made Jiao Shun accurate. Lin Daiyu has a very deep affectionate personality. As the saying goes, "The heart is wide and the body is fat, but the love is deep but not long-lasting." The more people are, the more their bodies are.
It is easy to have problems. Now that Lin Meimei has completely cut off the thought of the Mushi Front Alliance, it is invisibly equivalent to removing the biggest root cause.
After hearing this, Jia Baoyu was a little excited and nodded, "I asked Zijuan for help in private, and she said the same thing."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. He tried all kinds of ways before, but he didn't see Lin Meimei's health improve. However, after no interactions between the two, Lin Meimei became healthy instead?
Could it be...
The two are destined to be each other's disaster?
Thinking of this, the spirit he had just raised fell to the naked eye and the frustration became more serious.
Tsk ~
This is a teenager who is difficult to deal with!
Jiao Shun couldn't empathize with him, so he lay back and raised his hand and knocked on the body of the car a few times.
"uncle?"
Ni Ergongjin's voice immediately came from outside.
Jiao Shun used his hand to use it before and wanted to raise him to sit down, but Ni Er knew that it was not the material and was unwilling to be restrained by those things, so he refused after repeated consideration.
So Jiao settled down and said that he would recruit his eleven-year-old son to study in engineering, and promised that he would have a future in four or five years.
Ni Er was so happy about this that he became more and more respectful and obedient since then.
Jiao Shun ordered: "The time is almost over, let's start."
"The villain understands!"
After Ni Er received the order, he immediately contacted the two confidants who were ambushing the execution platform with a secret code. The two of them immediately stepped forward and removed a few wooden boards to cover up the essays from both sides of the execution platform, and then turned the red-bottomed black boy.
The banner was hung in the middle, and then disappeared into the darkness before dawn without looking back.
Not long after, the Caishikou gradually became lively and the people who delivered vegetables and sold vegetables were walking on another street, so the surrounding area was sparsely populated just now.
The abnormal situation before the execution stage soon attracted the idea of passers-by.
Someone came forward to read the banner, and someone exclaimed: "Is this the thing that the Xue family lost?!"
After these days of fermentation, the Xue family lost their account book at Dali Temple and had to offer a reward of 3,000 taels of silver. It is hard to say that everyone knows it, but at least one of every five people in the capital has heard of this.
Son.
The moment was a hot topic, and the comments were spreading, so the rest of the passers-by who were not aware of it suddenly realized.
I was even more curious about the content of the essay, and I came closer to me or read silently or chanted with my head shaking.
“Huh?”
An aunt carrying a basket of vegetables was originally discussing the reward of 3,000 taels of silver with her companions. After accidentally listening to someone's recitation, she couldn't help but wonder: "What is this? Why can even I understand?"
She didn't know many words. She didn't know many of the articles written by scholars, but they all sounded like books. Today, it was rare to meet someone who could understand most of them, so she unconsciously raised her ears
.
After hearing what she said, her companion also listened to a few words curiously, and then said in surprise: "Is this really written by a scholar?"
"It's not considered a serious scholar."
Because he was not a minority of similar doubts, a scholar replied impatiently: "The Xue family is an imperial merchant, and they are just doing business, but the essays are written casually, and there is no need to quote scriptures and classics."
In fact, the explanations afterwards are purely redundant. When everyone heard that it was written by a businessman, they felt relieved.
As time goes by, more and more passers-by gather here.
The people behind couldn't squeeze in, so I just read the ones in front of you. As a result, there was a real good person. He shaking his head and chanting loudly in front of the execution platform, which further promoted the gathering of people.
According to the tone set by Jiao Shun, this essay edited by Xue Baochai is quite qualified to be popular articles in later generations, and while trying to be as close as possible to vernacular, it has truly been appreciated by both the elite and the masses.
In addition, what is described is mainly universal family affection and filial piety, which naturally aroused great empathy.
Therefore, whenever I read that the Mei family retires from marriage, it will cause countless indignation and abuse.
It was noisy and around Siyu [9 am], I saw a few young students squeezed in front of me, and without saying a word, they started to tear up the essays.
As a result, just after two or three articles were pulled down, they were stopped by the onlookers.
Faced with the people's reproach, they shouted loudly: "These things are all made up. Don't be deceived by this. Mei Hanlin is for the sake of justice..."
"Why is it a fool?!"
However, before they could finish calling, someone retorted: "Is it the relationship between brothers and sisters? Or is it the small official who went to collect the accounts and bully people? Then the other person could not be the one who respected his parents, right?"
A scholar hurriedly corrected: "We mean he smears Mei Hanlin. Now who doesn't know that Mei Hanlin is a moral propriety..."
"Get it soon!"
Someone sabotaged him: "If he had the courage, why didn't he go to Jiao Jijiu, who was from the Ministry of Works, bullied the orphans and widows, and had the face of bragging about himself. I'm really a big deal!"
"Yes, I see, it's said that when the Mei surnamed Mei failed to pass the Jinshi, she received a lot of favors from others. Now, for the sake of fame, she tricked her into the capital and retired from the Mid-Autumn Festival. Isn't this?
What is ungrateful?”
