The Honest Man of the Red Chamber

Yuan Kang, who was about to "let the water go", also shrank back in fright from Tianxiang's scolding, Qin Bao immediately pulled up his trousers and fastened his belt for his grandfather, he was very familiar with this skill.

Why is it so unlucky? Yuan Kang withdrew his gaze following the sound. There was only a light pink figure of Pingting, and he was even more cursed in his heart. He came all the way to Shanxi. If he doesn't enter the official room by the roadside, he doesn't even want to use the toilet in the small shop!They all use his own things, or Qin Bao finds a good place to block him while solving them.

Before the two of them could walk away, the clerk in the Treasure Workshop rushed over after the lady who picked up the big colander beside her.

"What do you two do?"

"Why did you come to this back alley?"

"...But it doesn't look like a bad guy. Hey, boy, what are you doing here?"

They came in a menacing manner, but when you look closely, both of them are about five feet tall, and one is wearing a yellow forged robe with a pattern of swastikas in dark patterns. It is said that the blue bird black pendant he wears is extraordinary.

Qin Bao hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My young master and I first arrived in Taiyuan City. We were curious, so we walked through the streets and alleys to wait and see. We also have two friends in line at the front."

Seeing that the two of them are empty-handed, and they really don't look like villains who steal and play tricks, everyone hesitates. Is it because the eldest lady is embarrassed to see the outsider, so she misunderstood them for a while?

Mrs. Qin and the master came down first, and saw that the queue at the door seemed to be longer, and the people standing by the stove had disappeared, and she said angrily, "What are you doing? You don't work well, why do you want to deduct points?" ah!"

Someone quickly came back and explained, "Aunt Qin, that's not the case. The eldest lady saw some ghosts outside our wall upstairs, so let's go and have a look."

"Oh, is there such a thing?" Aunt Qin went out and asked carefully.

Wang Guizhi turned into the inner room, saw the children chasing after each other, then turned to Yuan Chun, saw that she had changed into a different set of clothes, "What's wrong?"

"Ma'am, it's the second master and the second girls who want to feed the eldest girl, and accidentally got some soup." Nan Lu said.

It’s not just a sudden menstruation, Yuan Chun has not yet had her menarche, and the little secret she planned to tell her has not been used yet, Wang Guizhi turned her head with a smile, and tapped Baoyu and others on the forehead , "Always naughty."

Meiyu hid in the back, and when she saw a group of people downstairs, she yelled, "Mother, mother, there are many people downstairs."

Wang Guizhi walked to the railing, and it really seemed like two people were confronting each other.

"What's the matter?" She pressed down on the railing and asked loudly, the sky is bright and bright, even a thief can't steal her here.

Seeing the voice from above again, Yuan Kang held his breath and looked intently, but saw that it was a beautiful woman. He felt a little regretful, and couldn't help laughing at himself. Naturally, it couldn't be a girl who stood up. It should be her mother or an elder.Thinking of himself doing such a thing in front of girls, he couldn't help feeling a little hot on his face.

Wang Guizhi also saw Yuan Kang at a glance, only because his eyes were black and bright, his lips were red and his teeth were white. Although his clothes did not look luxurious, he seemed to be well-mannered when he stood.

If there were still people who could pretend in the previous life, in this present day, only wealthy families often eat meat, and those who pay attention to clothes and teeth are at least well-to-do families.

He is so handsome, is this a god-given marriage?

Wang Guizhi screened many students through the stationery store, but they were either from poor families or merchants. After all, even if the Shanxi officials who disagreed with Jia Zhengzheng had children in Shanxi, they would not let their children come to Shanxi College.

In addition, she also has high requirements for appearance and figure (Wang Guizhi is not satisfied with Qu Yuan's beauty first, and those who are worse than Qu Yuan are not satisfied), it is rare to see such a handsome young man. Seeing the eagerness of the son-in-law.

Aunt Qin ran up and told Wang Guizhi, "It's nothing wrong, maybe the eldest lady has lost her sight upstairs." Zhenbaofang sells food, and this thing is hot, bowls and so on, and it's not like Boweilou The treasures are all the things that the apprentices in their own porcelain kilns practiced.

Where did Wang Guizhi think that this handsome boy was going to do something like that against the wall of her shop, so he smiled and said, "It's nothing serious, it's just a small misunderstanding, since they are going to come to our shop to taste, let's invite them to eat together." , This account will be recorded on..." she said, "It will be recorded on our eldest lady, and how much money she eats will be deducted from her monthly bill. Let her know the consequences of acting impulsively."

"Yes, ma'am." Mrs. Qin would not have any opinion on how the wife should teach her daughter. Besides, a bowl of noodles in Zhenbaofang costs at least twenty yuan.

Although he felt that this kid was good-looking and had a good temperament, Wang Guizhi didn't show it at all, "It's nothing, I'm leaving."

"Everything has been settled by the madam. I will tell them to call the carriage to the back door immediately."

"Ah."

That Yuanchun stomped her foot lightly when she heard all this, and twisted the handkerchief on her hand for the first time. She was the one who was ashamed at the time.Mother actually wanted to use her monthly bill to treat that kid to dinner!

what!Mad at her.

Seeing the young lady's angry face, Nan Lu couldn't help asking, "What's the matter? Miss?"

"...It's okay, is our carriage here?"

"I'll be there soon."

"Then let's go quickly." She didn't want to stay in this place anymore!Yuan Chun stuffed the handkerchief into his sleeve, took a deep breath and decided to forget about this bad thing!

Qi Gong and Mo Huai were led by Qin Bao into the Treasure Workshop together, with a happy smile on their faces, "I didn't expect that thanks to you, I don't have to wait in line."

"It's rare that people in Treasure Workshop will misunderstand, you two are not real..." Mo Huai joked, but with a hint of questioning.

Yuan Kang said generously, "Because I have to do some small things, so..."

"Oh, little brother, why didn't you say it earlier, there are four official houses on this street, all of which are extremely clean, and toilet paper is provided as a gift. But if you want to use better toilet paper, you need to pay extra." Qi The worker sat down and said, "Let me lead you there."

"...then let's go."

Yuan Kang took the toilet paper that Qi Gong bought with a copper coin, and with great courage entered the private official room for the first time. In the end, he was really relieved, although it was not like in the palace, but in the end It was paved with bluestone slabs and the wooden curtains were opened, and there was even the sound of flushing water every once in a while, and there were several pots of fragrant flowers and plants, and there was a place for clean water. After Yuan Kang quickly solved it, he washed his hands with a bamboo handle After that, wipe it out with a handkerchief.

Qi Gong was waiting for him outside, winking at him, "How about it, not bad."

"It's not bad." If the officials in all places are like this, how could he make such a joke.Yuan Kang shook his head slightly and chuckled, "It's really an eye-opener."

"Let me tell you, our Lord Jia is really a good official, really!" Qi Gong smiled with his teeth bared, and said softly behind Yuan Kang, "I know you didn't come to Shanxi College to sign up, your accent, He is obviously from the capital city, just like what some of our gentlemen say." Master Jia tried his best to create an atmosphere of equality for all students in the college, but a person like him who has been soaked in hard times, even in the subtleties It can be seen that his blue leather boots and the embroidered silk socks that are only exposed when he is walking, only first-class wealthy people will do such meticulous work on the socks.

Just like Master Jia's parent-son Jia Zhu, and the horses they ride, they are not something that ordinary people can keep in captivity.

Yuan Kang couldn't help being taken aback, and stopped in his tracks. He thought they hadn't noticed, but it turned out they weren't. Sure enough, there are no really stupid people in this world.

"Don't worry, you must be the first investigator sent by the new governor." Qi Gong continued, "I can take you to see whatever you want to see in these two days. You must be honest, no It will be mixed with a little fake, just like our Shanxi vinegar, pure and mellow!"

"You are honest." You are such a smart man, Yuan Kang couldn't get annoyed, so he walked around again, "When did you find out that I didn't go to Shanxi College to sign up?"

"That's too much. The main doubt is that before the establishment of Shanxi College, there were many students who signed up. Even if there are still students who don't know about it, it is absolutely impossible not to prepare their student status. I just came here to study." Which student would do such a thing?

Qi Gongdao.

Yuan Kang said shyly, "It seems that I really need to come out more to see the market." Even if he is a prince, it's nothing special.

"Is that why you admire Mrs. Jia so much?" Now that the truth has been revealed, he should be straightforward.

Qi Gongdao, "Anyone with lofty ideals takes it as his long-cherished wish to become an official in the court, but who really becomes an official well? Let me say that someone like Mr. Jia is the one who is satisfied with the emperor's wishes and the people's satisfaction." official."

"Doesn't he have any flaws at all?" Yuan Kang asked with a smile, how can everything go well in this world?

"For Mr. Jia, there may be shortcomings, but for the emperor, Mr. Jia can do things and complete the tasks assigned by the majesty. Isn't this the most basic thing for an official?"

That's right, Yuan Kang nodded.

Qi Gong continued, "While completing the tasks entrusted by the Holy Majesty, the people are not exploited, heavy taxes are confiscated, they have land to cultivate, books to read, and they can change jobs or study business. How can they not be a good parent official?" What about others, his family's income is clearly visible. Even if he is not good at school and cannot stay in Shanxi University, his family still has spare money for him to study. Isn't this real policy?

Yuan Kang nodded again, "Then the shortcoming?"

"The disadvantage is that it is easy to make enemies. If it is not Mr. Jia, but after the founding father, with the protection of the sage, it must be difficult in the officialdom." Qi Gong said even more seriously, "It is thanks to Jia My lord has a good wife."

"A good wife? Mrs. Wang?" Yuan Kang slipped out of the mouth in a short while, and paused in his heart. He was too relaxed vigilance against these people!

"You mean Mrs. Jia, yes, without the support of Mrs. Jia, the support of the family is also limited. If Mrs. Jia can use money to build a golden road in Shanxi." Sure enough, it is an imperial envoy, otherwise how could it be so? He quickly answered his wife's maiden name.

"That's true." Yuan Kang thought, this is probably the first time in history to bribe officials in reverse. If the wife he marries is not virtuous and Mingde, how can he even make money from his own dowry shop? How about donating them all?Didn't that just mean that she was even providing the meals and clothes for the students?

The author has something to say: Wang Guizhi blushes: In fact, the money was paid to her by your Lord Jia Zheng in other names~
