Chapter 996: Self-inflicted
Not to mention the chickens and dogs of the Tang clan, Li Qianqian brought Liu Er for questioning, and when he learned that Mengzhou had not yet opened a shop of the Ruiyao Sect, he couldn't help but think about it, Liu Er looked at her like that, and seemed to want to open another shop here, so he hurriedly interrupted her.
"Sect Master, we are really short of manpower now, if you want to open a shop, I'm afraid you have to slow down. ”
Seeing his anxious appearance, Li Qianqian couldn't help laughing, "Don't worry, don't worry, I just want to think about it, I don't plan to open it immediately, besides, the heels of the few companies in Xiangcheng haven't stood firm yet! ”
It's easy to get into trouble if you expand too fast, she knows that.
Because the house has not yet been cleaned up, Li Qianqian simply borrowed the house where they usually do errands from the post chief, and the post chief almost didn't stare out when he learned that this beautiful girl was the daughter of Li Hou Ye, the sect leader of the Rui Yao Sect, and he couldn't imagine that the daughter of the Hou Mansion would treat people so politely!
Thinking of the unruly young lady of the Tang family, the post chief couldn't help but sigh, this person is really different from others!
Miss Tang San's father is just a white ding, and he can be so arrogant, all because of her eldest brother's power, but what about the leader of the Li sect?
borrowed a room from him, said that he disturbed their office, and specially gave him and a few postmen a red envelope.
Inside is a pair of earrings from Tianbaofang, a handkerchief from Jinyifang, and five taels of silver.
There aren't many things, but that's what people want!
Think about it, the Tang family has lived here for so long, and they have never only scavenged from them, so how could they ever reward them?
If the family is poor and can't afford to give rewards, they don't care, but the Tang family is not, do they really have no money? What are you kidding, every time Miss Tang San calls her friends to go into the city, I heard that just eating a meal costs nearly 100 taels of silver.
If you really don't have money to reward them, as for the response, be polite and kind, and everyone will feel more comfortable.
It's just that the Tang family likes to put on a score, and they can't stop shouting a few words, as if they want to show off that they can call them, and it makes people feel annoying when they look at it, to be honest, if it weren't for Lord Tang's sake, he would have wanted to drive out the non-official clansmen of the Tang family a long time ago.
With the red envelope, the post chief first went home, gave the red envelope to his wife, and then took the post guards who also handed over the red envelope to the family, and once again devoted himself to the great cause of driving away the Tang clan.
Liu Er followed behind Li Qianqian and walked into the room where the post chief and their office worked.
Chunjiang and Chunshou had already rushed to the front, and they had all their things in a cage, saving them from messing up their official documents.
Liu Er said to Li Qianqian, "Look, when you get married, the shops in Xiangcheng will follow the discount to celebrate, so when you get married, will the shops in the capital also follow the activities?"
Li Qianqian thought for a while, nodded and agreed, "But this time I won't help them think of a plan, let the shopkeepers and stewards of each shop think for themselves, and then each one chooses the best plan, and then makes a choice of the best plan sent out by these shops, and finally stands out and becomes the winner of this time, and the second best one will be used as the next year's activity plan." ”
She paused, and then said, "If it is feasible, slowly follow this method, every year every city shops do competitions in this way, the winning plan becomes the plan of the year's New Year's Eve event, and the second place is the plan of the next year's mid-year activity." ”
In this way, each city has its own different and other activities, and slowly forms its own characteristics of each city, so that although each shop is a shop under the Ruiyao Sect, it maintains its own characteristics of each city, just like each city has its own appearance and style.
It is a unique and self-contained existence.
Liu Er nodded frequently after hearing this, "In this way, can each city also have its own plan for the date of the event?" Like some cities, they have their own festivals in their own city, which are not available in other places, and if the time for our activities can be synchronized with this festival, it should make the locals feel more belonging?"
"Well, you're right, for example, the mid-year events, in some cities, in addition to the mid-year festival on July 15, there are also their local festivals. ”
About more than 10 years ago, the two rivers outside the Boshui City, one is the Bohe River and the other is the Cangcui River, due to the earthquake in the upper reaches, resulting in changes in the waterway, the originally flat and stable Bohe River has been transformed into an extremely dangerous river area, although the Cangcui River has not changed as much as the Bohe River, but the water volume has also surged, and the two rivers have become a high-risk area where they converge near the Boshui City.
However, these changes were only visible to the fishermen or boatmen who had been relying on the water for food for many years, and the general public was not very aware of them.
It was only one summer, after the number of accidental deaths of people who went to play in the water increased, that the warnings of those fishermen and boatmen were finally heeded by the local parents, but by then, it was too late, and the three grandsons of the lord of Boshui City were caught up in the undercurrent and died while playing in the water.
In order to save his son and nephew, the eldest son, who was most valued by the lord of Boshui City, also died.
The lord of Boshui City once couldn't bear the blow and fell ill, and when he recovered, he designated the day with the highest number of deaths as the Boshui Festival, so as to commemorate the drowning and save the people who died from drowning.
It was July 28, not August 19, when his son and grandson died, but on July 28 of that year, because of the school holiday, and the hot day, there were many children who went to play in the water, and on that day six children under the age of 10 died, three died under the age of 20, and two died between the ages of 20 and 40.
These two, who were between 20 and 40 years old, did not go to play in the water, but when they saw a child drowning in the river and tried their best to rescue the child, they became a subordinate due to physical exhaustion.
"On such a sad anniversary, we have to pay special attention to proportions during the event, so that the bereaved people do not feel that we are spilling the wounds of others, but to remind everyone to pay attention to water safety. ”
Liu Er nodded thoughtfully, Chunjiang continued to study the ink on the side, and Chunshou was responsible for taking the paper they had written down the points to dry and laying out the new paper for them to write.
In a few moments, all the places in the house that could be placed with paper were full.
Chunshou had to go and find Yang Liu and all of them to help.
The place where the paper is placed is full, and it can't be placed on the ground, so speed up and let the ink on the paper dry quickly!
When they were busy here, Feng Gongzi also took his little nephew to catch up, and the little guy was holding on to his little uncle's clothes, with a pair of big and dark eyes, looking around, but the same rural scenery made him not look at it for too long, and then he fell asleep again.
Feng Gongzi saw that he was sleeping most of the time, a little worried, and the nurse who was waiting for him replied to him with a smile, "A child as big as the little young master, sleep more and sleep well, in order to grow well, you don't have to worry, we still have control over the time he sleeps during the day, and we won't let him sleep too much, so that he doesn't sleep at night." ”
It's good to have control, and he's afraid that his little nephew will become a night cryer who doesn't sleep at night.
When they came to the outside of Quanliu City, the little people who went forward returned, Li Qianqian and they did not live in the inn in the city, because there were many people, and the inn in the city did not have so many rooms to accommodate them, so they all returned to the guest house and politely rejected them.
Feng Gongzi and they are few people, but there is still an inn that can accommodate them.
"And where did they live?"
"The station. The little guy replied, but seeing that his face was not quite right, Feng Gongzi sighed, "What else, let's say it all!"
"Yes. The little guy hurriedly told him what happened at the post station, and Feng Gongzi was dumbfounded when he heard it.
"The officials of the Qipin County Order, fighting for the post house with the angels who came to announce the decree by the Holy Order?"
When you hear this, I believe most people will not believe it, right?
"And then?" Feng Gongzi wiped his face and asked.
"Lord Tang's father was sent to the yamen for beating the imperial guards, and handed over to the county lieutenant for his assault, and in addition, there was also a famous post man who was also sent to the yamen for renting horses for use without authorization. ”
Feng Gongzi thought for a while and asked, "This Lord Tang is the newly appointed county magistrate of Quanliu County, why does his official family not live in the official house, but in the post station?"
Xiao Wu nodded and hurriedly explained what he had heard, and after Feng Gongzi listened, he confirmed with Xiao Wu with a strange face, "The reason why Lord Tang's officials and dependents have lived in the post station for a long time is because the officials and dependents of the former county magistrate of Quanliu County occupy the official house and do not leave, so they have no place to live, so they will live in the post station?"
"Yes. The little guy nodded and replied, "The former county commander Ren has not heard from him since he entered Beijing to report on his work last year, and the Ren family doesn't know what happened to him, and they are afraid that there will be news in Beijing, so they dare not leave the official residence, for fear that they will miss the person who delivered the news."
Feng Gongzi snorted coldly, the root of this matter lies in Lord Ren's family, and there are also problems with the county lieutenant and the county magistrate, I don't know if these two people want to give Lord Tang a dismissal? Or if there is another purpose, it has nothing to do with him anyway.
They are just passers-by here, and they have no time, no energy, and no interest in taking care of these things, but the actions of these people affect Li Qianqian and them, causing them inconvenience, which makes Feng Gongzi unhappy.
Xuanyi had been by Feng Gongzi's side for the longest time, and he saw his emotional changes, knowing that he was unhappy, so he asked, "Look, do you want to remind the Ren family?"
Lord Ren has not heard from him for a long time, and they are worried that it is normal and should be, but it does not mean that they will occupy the official residence, so that the family of Lord Tang who has come to take over has no place to live.
Besides, Lord Ren has been in Quanliu County for nine years, saying that he has no property in the county, Xuanyi doesn't believe it, and the Ren family can go to live in their own property and wait for Lord Ren, they don't, not only do they, but they also look like they live in the official house for reason, and if they want to drive them away, they are bullying their family, which makes people really angry.
"Go ahead, in addition, send someone to check if Lord Ren and the county lieutenant are at odds, and what is the reason why Lord Ren is delayed and has no news of him?"
If it is a promotion, just like Lord Tang in the morning, send the news back, let the family pack up and prepare to take office, if it is a crime, then it should also send the news back, and let the family go to Beijing to help with the work, so as to suffer less.
But so far, there is no news, which makes people puzzled.
Whether it is good or bad, it is no wonder that the Ren family is restless and unwilling to leave the official residence, perhaps in their hearts, they are afraid and frightened, and they are afraid that as soon as they leave, they will lose their official status and will no longer be able to live in the official residence.
Maybe it's ridiculous, but that's how ridiculous the human psyche is.
When Xuanyi came to the vicinity of the yamen, a motorcade of carriages passed by him and finally stopped near the corner gate of the yamen.
Xuanyi looked at it curiously, and there were many onlookers nearby, so he pulled an eldest brother and asked, "Whose carriage is that?"
"Ah, how many cars did you say? We are newly appointed to the county commander's family! However, the eldest girl who took the lead was not Lord Tang's daughter, but his sister. ”
As she was talking, several women dressed up in the fashion got out of the car, starting with a woman dressed in peach-pink brocade with a full head of pearls, followed by several young women who were dressed like her, dressed in fancy clothes, and behind several women dressed like maids, were relatively plainly dressed.
"Sister?" Xuanyi couldn't figure out who was who.
Seeing Xuanyi's reaction, the eldest brother who was pulled laughed heartily, "Yes, I heard that this Miss Tang San is extremely favored, and Mrs. Tang and his wife hurt her like eyeballs, the one over there." Xuanyi looked at the eldest brother's hand and saw a plainly dressed, with only a simple comb on his head, and only a pearl hairpin on his jewelry, unlike her aunt, who was covered with pearls and bright clothes.
If you don't know, I'm afraid that Miss Tang San will mistake Miss Tang for Lord Tang's palm beads, and the real Miss Tang will be her aunt.
Because Miss Tang and Miss Tang San seem to be older, and Lord Tang's sister is indeed two years older than her niece.
"I heard that Lord Tang's wife has passed away?"
"Yes! Many families in the city are ready to move for this, and they are looking forward to marrying the Tang family. ”
The eldest brother who was held by Xuanyi had just finished speaking, and many people nearby were also talking, it seems that everyone knows a lot about this incoming Tang County Order!
He thought for a while, and then threw out a new topic, "I heard that Lord Ren's family still lives in the official residence?"
"Huh, huh?"
"Moved out early, didn't you?"
"I didn't move at all, last time Yao County Lieutenant and Wu County Cheng sent someone to visit, and they were beaten out by Ren's family!"
"Why is that?"
"Isn't it because Lord Ren hasn't returned for a long time, and they have both been harmed?"
"This can't be blamed on others! Who told Lord Ren to be indecent, besides, that incident was not reported by the two of them, it was obviously the family that was oppressed by Lord Ren's family, and they found the inspection and imperial history in Mengzhou to sue the Ren family, and after Lord Ren went to Beijing to report on his work, he would be detained in Beijing for detailed investigation, right?"
When Xuanyi heard it, there was a play, and he hurriedly asked.
It took another half an hour for him to ask what was going on.
After inquiring clearly, Xuanyi couldn't help but sigh, it seems that this Lord Ren is definitely not clean, and the Ren family refuses to move out of the official residence to death, it seems that they should have a premonition.
But who can be blamed for this? It was the Ren family who did the evil first! The innocent ones are the people who were bullied by the Ren family, and these people in the Ren family are not innocent at all, on the contrary, I am afraid that they are still the ones who help the abuse!
