Chapter 4 Tang Ya'er
As soon as the time to join the company came, Shi Shan got up early, sorted out his clothes in front of a rusty bronze mirror, and then walked out of the door and strode towards Shangyang Town Prison.
"You're Stone Mountain?"
When he arrived at Shangyang Town Prison, under the guidance of a jailer, Shi Shan met the prison warden Ma Quan. At first glance, the horse was a rude man, but his eyes sparkled and he was impressed with majesty.
Listening to Ma Quan's inquiry, Shi Shan hurriedly replied: "It's exactly below." ”
Squinting his eyes and looking at Shishan, Ma was completely expressionless, and after a while, he spoke: "You just came, and you are not familiar with many things, so let's be responsible for delivering food to the prisoners in Tianjia cell every day." ”
"Yes, sir. ”
Hearing Ma Quan's words, the jailer who led Shi Shan changed his face and glanced at Shi Shan imperceptibly.
"Liu Zhong, you take Shi Shan to change into a set of prison clothes, and then take him to the Tianjia cell to have a look. Ma Quan said in a deep voice.
The jailer who led Shishan, that is, Liu Zhong, immediately replied yes after hearing Ma Quan's order, and then took Shishan to change clothes.
When Shi Shan came to the prison before, Liu Zhong was very enthusiastic and volunteered to take him to see Ma Quan, but now, he didn't say a word, his body deliberately kept a distance from Shi Shan, and numbly led the way.
Feeling the change in Liu Zhong's attitude, Shi Shan was a little unsure, but he was new to the city, and the road ahead was still very long, so he didn't think about it anymore.
After finding a well-fitting prison uniform for Shi Shan to change into, Liu Zhong took Shi Shan to the Tianjia cell.
Shi Shan didn't expect a small Shangyang Town, the prison actually had a floor underground, when Liu Zhong took Shi Shan to the underground floor of the prison, a cold air came to the surface, Shi Shan only felt his body tremble, and instantly wrapped the prison uniform tightly.
"Okay, I have other things to do, so I'll take you here, and you go in by yourself, and the innermost part of this floor is the Tianjia cell. Liu Zhong said.
"Thank you, Brother Liu. Ishiyama said, and then walked straight inside.
The further he walked in, the more the air conditioner became heavier, and finally, Shi Shan came to the cell with the words 'Tianjia' on it.
As soon as he arrived in front of the cell, Shi Shan felt a cold breath rushing over him.
"Ahem~"
Eroded by the cold air, Shi Shan couldn't help but cough a few times. When he coughed, he hurriedly took a few steps back, stabilized himself, and looked into the cell.
I saw a man with a disheveled head locked in a few iron cables in the cell, and this man was not only chained with his hands and feet, but also with chains around his neck and waist. This is different from the prisoners I saw along the way, the other prisoners were just with their hands chained.
Looking at the prisoner in front of him, Ishiyama guessed that this should be a person who had committed a great crime, otherwise he would not have been locked up in the deepest part of the prison.
After walking out of the basement, Ishiyama wanted to get to know the other jailers, but he didn't want to greet anyone lukewarm, which made him feel a little isolated.
Thinking of this, he shook his head self-deprecatingly, this is his first day of employment, and he doesn't know anyone in the prison, so naturally he can't talk about offending anyone, how can he be isolated, I think it's because he has too much heart.
Only two meals a day were to be delivered, at noon and in the afternoon. After delivering two meals to the prisoners of Tianjia, they passed away for a while, and it was time to get off work.
After changing into his prison uniform and walking out of the prison, Shi Shan felt that there was a blockage of cold air in his chest, and between his breaths, there was a little cold.
"He is at the head of the earth. The sun hangs in the sky, Tian Tian ~ Tian Tian ~"
"The fields are green. ”
Tang Ya'er, who was reciting "Poems on Stage" in the courtyard, just when he forgot the words, he listened to the poems being picked up, and the voice was still familiar, and he jumped happily in place in an instant.
"Brother Shishan, you're here. ”
This Tang Ya'er is Tang Bin's daughter, eleven years old, playful by nature, not very good at reading, but always forced by Tang Bin to recite some poems.
"Here, your favorite sugar gourd. Shi Shan handed over the two strings of sugar gourds that he had bought for Tang Ya'er on the way here.
"Shishan, you're here, come if you come, what kind of gift do you bring. ”
At this time, Tang Bin was standing outside the living room, holding a book in his hand, and looked at Shishan with a smile on his face.
"Teacher, today is my first day working in prison, and I am also very happy, so I brought some pastries for the teacher on the way here. Ishiyama said heartily.
Welcoming Shi Shan into the house, Tang Bin sat on a chair and said, "Zhenzun can take a fancy to you and let you serve in prison, I am also very happy." You have to work diligently, don't let me and Zhenzun down. ”
"Teacher, I know. Ishiyama nodded solemnly.
"The current prison warden is Ma Quan, right?" asked Tang Bin.
Hearing this, Ishiyama nodded.
"I've met him a few times, I don't have much of an impression, and when I have the opportunity, I'll treat him to a meal, and I'll have to trouble him to take care of it in the future. Tang Bin said to himself.
Shi Shan was silent for a while when he heard this, judging from today, the people in the prison were not friendly to him, and he might have to deal with it in the future.
"Brother Shishan, the prison is so fun, I haven't been to the prison yet. At this time, Tang Ya'er, who was eating sugar gourd, walked up to Shi Shan and asked curiously.
Without waiting for Shi Shan to answer, Tang Bin said sternly: "The prison is a place where prisoners are held, it is very messy, and it is not a good place, so don't be curious." ”
Seeing Tang Bin's stern appearance, Tang Ya'er stuck out his tongue, grimaced, turned around and ran out of the house.
"Shi Shan, what have you been studying lately?" asked Tang Bin.
"I've been studying Zhu Xiang's Tales of Mount Tailu recently. Shi Shan said, picked up the teapot, and poured tea for Tang Bin.
"Zhu Xiang, if I had known that he would be the chief judge of this scientific examination, I would definitely give you an analysis of his style preferences. Tang Bin said with some annoyance, "You may not know that Zhu Xiang served in Huangqiu City when he was young, and I have some friendship with him. ”
Shi Shan was also shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect that his teacher actually had a relationship with a scholar of the current dynasty.
"It's really unpredictable, who would have known that he Zhu Xiang would one day become a university scholar. Tang Bin said with emotion, his eyes a little dazed.
"Zhu Xiang, why did you suddenly mention him?"
At this time, Tang Bin's wife Yang Ruoxin walked in with a vegetable basket.
"Mother. Seeing Yang Ruoxin, Shi Shan hurriedly stood up from the chair.
"Shi Shan, I heard that you became a jailer, why didn't you wear a jailer's uniform?" Yang Ruoxin asked Shi Shan with a smile, his smile was very bright, it seemed that Shi Shan became a jailer, which made her very honored.
"Master, prison uniforms are worn when you are working, and you have to change them when you get off work. Ishiyama explained.
"Then I really want to see how you look in prison uniform, you must be very handsome. Yang Ruoxin said expectantly, and then, Yang Ruoxin turned his head to look at Tang Bin, "You haven't answered me yet, why did you mention Zhu Xiang." ”
Tang Bin glanced at Yang Ruoxin, "Zhu Xiang is the chief judge of this scientific examination, I am talking to Shi Shan, if I had known, I would have analyzed the style of writing that Zhu Xiang liked." ”
"Is it, he has become the chief examiner of the scientific examination?" Yang Ruoxin asked in disbelief.
Tang Bin laughed when he heard this, but there was a little bitterness in his eyes, "Yes, who would have thought that the poor sour boy who pursued you back then would not only become a university scholar today, but also become the chief judge of the scientific examination, how about it, do you regret choosing me in the first place?"
"It's not serious. Yang Ruoxin scolded when he heard this, and then turned around and walked towards the back room with the vegetable basket.
At this time, Shi Shan was shocked!
He looked at Yang Ruoxin, who was leaving, then looked at Tang Bin, and then recalled Zhu Xiang's "The Story of Tailu Mountain" in his mind, he didn't expect that his master and mother actually had such a complicated relationship with the big man of the Dayu Dynasty.
At the same time, in a room in Shangyang Town, Ma Quanzheng listened carefully to Liu Zhong's report.
"That's all I asked, sir. ”
After listening to Liu Zhong's report, Ma Quan also knew that Shishan was an orphan, and after returning from the scientific expedition, he was recommended by Tang Bin to Zhenzun Zuoshuang.
"I failed to participate in the scientific examination, and I don't have much ability to think about it, Tang Bin, Shi Shan, you actually dare to break my path!" Ma Quan thought gloomily.
