No.311 Restlessness in Beijing
Recently, there has been a lot of gossip in Beijing, more and more frequently than before, and all of them are extremely shocking. Then, someone with a heart found out that at least three of the ten topics were rumors about the fierce lady. As for whether the three rumored fierce ladies are three people, or the same person, no one can say. Everyone just feels that the ladies in the capital have been more fierce recently.
Jiang Zhenghao is a person despised by most young sons in the capital, and he is also a person hated by many aristocratic ladies. Before Moxiangzhai, the rumor that Jiang Zhenghao was thrown on his back on the street by a fierce lady spread quickly in Beijing. A few people think that the fierce lady is really not like words. And most people don't say it on their lips, but they are extremely happy in their hearts.
It hasn't been a day or two since they (they) wanted to teach Jiang Zhenghao with their nostrils facing the sky, and they have secretly used some small means, which can be compared with what the fierce lady did, which is really small and not worth mentioning. Now Jiang Zhenghao has lost his face and lining, which makes them feel extremely happy, and he is working hard to publicize this matter everywhere. It is worth mentioning that because Zhou Boyan let go, when the insider spread the matter, no one dared to say Qingshu's name. Therefore, the rumored fierce lady does not know who her surname is.
Jiang Zhenghao has become a laughing stock among young people in Beijing, and three days have passed when his father and mother receive the news. His father was laughed at by his colleagues when he was on duty, and his mother was laughed at by the noblewoman at the noblewoman's meeting. His father and mother returned to the mansion one after the other with a pale face, and the first thing they asked was "Where is the fifth young master". As soon as the next person reported that the fifth young master had gone out to meet friends, the little guy on duty at the second gate ran in a panic and said that something had happened to the fifth young master.
Not long after, Jiang Zhenghao, whose face was swollen like a pig's head, and he couldn't see his appearance anymore, was carried back from outside. Jiang Zhenghao's father shouted who did it, and Jiang Zhenghao's mother rushed over and cried.
At this moment, another subordinate stumbled over, "Master, master, it's not good, official...... Official ......"
Jiang Zhenghao's father, Mr. Jiang, was angry, "I can't say anything, what does the master want you to do?" "Come, drag him down and beat him with a rod for twenty."
The subordinate finally found his voice, and shouted loudly as he was dragged away, "No, no, the officers and soldiers, it's the officers and soldiers, the lord, the officers and soldiers have surrounded the whole mansion." ”
Master Jiang thought he had misheard, "Stupid minion, make your words clear." ”
The housekeeper of the Jiang Mansion ran in lifelessly, "Master, run away, escape through the back door." ”
Master Jiang's eyes glared at the boss, "Escape?" Why did the lord run away? ”
Now where can there be a difference between dignity and inferiority. The loyal butler didn't say a word, so he dragged Master Jiang to the back, "Master, go quickly, the officers and soldiers are coming to arrest you, and if you don't leave, it's too late." ”
Master Jiang's eyes were dark, and he almost fell to the ground.
At this moment, the front was already in chaos. The housekeepers, the servants, and the maids were scurrying around, mixed with the sound of cries and shouts, and the shouts of officers and soldiers. All of this made Master Jiang, who was dragged away by the housekeeper, feel like he was in a dream, "What's the matter?" What the hell is going on? ”
The old slave hid aside and listened clearly, saying yes, saying that the old man was corrupt and perverted the law, and he ...... Call...... The silver taels for disaster relief were deducted. Lord, quick, huh...... Call...... Come on. The stocky butler was panting tiredly.
As soon as he heard the charges of perverting the law for bribes and deducting disaster relief money, Master Jiang, who was originally dragged away by the housekeeper, changed his face and suddenly became extremely brave. He actually shook off the butler's hand and ran as fast as a rabbit.
It's just that when Master Jiang rushed to the back door, he found that there were already officers and soldiers standing outside the back door. He gritted his teeth and ran to the human room. He rushed into the subordinate's room, and when he looked around for shelter, he found several coarse cloth clothes of the inferior people. He took it into account, and immediately took off his official robe, put on the coarse cloth clothes of the low-ranking people, and hurriedly changed into the coarse cloth shoes of the lower and lower people. After that, he left the subordinate room and followed the housekeepers and small servants in the house, just to find an opportunity to get out of the house.
But unfortunately, today the team led the arrest of not only the criminal department, but also the Dali Temple. The Criminal Department and Dali Temple have been competing with each other for not a day or two. In order to fight each other, they all opened their eyes and refused to let go of any clues. Old Man Jiang's chubby round face, chubby hands, and the crown of his hair betrayed him. Even though he hid in the middle of a group of subordinates, he was still discovered by the sharp-eyed Lord of the Criminal Department and the Lord of Dali Temple, and was scrambled by both sides to take it down.
The person from the Criminal Department twisted Master Jiang's right arm and said to Dali Temple, "Let go, it's the person who was caught by our Criminal Department first." ”
The Dali Temple twisted Master Jiang's right arm, and said with a smile, "Agreed, it was our Dali Temple who took the prisoner first." Please let me go. ”
Looking at his subordinates robbing people, the Lord of the Criminal Department and the Lord of Dali Temple turned a blind eye, one looked up at the sky, and lowered his head to study the blue brick road under his feet.
The sixth prince stood there with his hands behind his back and coughed, "Okay, okay, don't make noise." People are caught by you together, and there are rewards and punishments. He was proud that he actually had such a majestic day, and he was able to command hundreds of officers and soldiers to run errands for the imperial court. Cool, it's so cool. He laughed inwardly in his heart: Ha Lu Ha ...... Sure enough, the royal brother was the best for me, and the boy really didn't lie to me.
A wisp of incense bun shop, the morning trade has ended, the noon trade has not yet begun, there are no customers in the shop. Qing Shu sat at the table closest to the counter, peeling peanuts while talking to the second brother who was sitting behind the counter. "Second brother, you prepare it slowly, and in April next year, my little sister will definitely send two masters who make cool skin."
Second Brother Bu put down the abacus in his hand, "March is also good, the weather is already warm at that time." Your fifth brother said that the cool skin business is as prosperous as in March, so you don't have to wait until April or May. ”
Qing Shu smiled, "Second brother, you and the fifth brother are too anxious!" ”
Second Brother Bu said with a straight face, "Don't laugh. In terms of business, I believe your fifth brother's vision is correct. ”
Hearing this, Qing Shu nodded, "Cheng, then March." In March of the following year, the arranged Liangpi master will follow the Zhou Ji caravan to Beijing. The chili oil needed for the seasoning will also be delivered. ”
Second Brother Bu was satisfied, "It's decided." ”
"Sister, there are a lot of officers and soldiers passing by outside." Qingyang and Qinghao came in from outside and reported what they found to Qingshu as soon as possible.
Qing Shu glanced up at them, smiled and lowered his head to continue peeling peanuts, "It should be the officers and soldiers of the Gyeonggi Patrol patrolling the city." ”
Qingyang vetoed, "No, no, sister." We have seen the officers and men of the Gyeonggi patrol, but this is not the case. ”
Qing Hao continued, "The costumes are different. ”
"You guessed right, the officers and soldiers passing by outside are from the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, not the Gyeonggi Patrol." Luo San, who was standing a dozen steps away, explained.
Qingyang was very curious, "There are so many people from the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, what are they going to do?" ”
"My subordinates are going to inquire, please wait for the young master." Luo San said goodbye and quickly left the shop.
While waiting, Qingyang and Qinghao also got started and helped Qingshu peel the remaining peanuts. Xiaojuan came over and collected the peanut skin on the table, and sent it to the kitchen along with the peeled peanuts.
Luo San, who went out of Lu to inquire about the news, came back, "Back to the young master, I heard that an adult surnamed Jiang has committed an accident, and the officers and soldiers are raiding his mansion. ”
"Sister, can we go and see the arrests? Look from afar, don't come closer. Out of curiosity, Qingyang asked Qingshu for instructions.
"No, you can't. There's nothing to see about catching people. Qing Shu immediately vetoed, "Go, say goodbye to the second brother, we have to go back." ”
Qingyang and Qinghao glanced at each other, although they felt regretful, they didn't insist. They immediately went over and said goodbye to the second brother.
On the way back to Shuyuan, they met two teams of officers and soldiers in a hurry. Qing Shu is not a good person, and he will not take advantage of Zhou Boyan's momentum to show superiority outside. Every time she encountered an officer or soldier, she would order her subordinates to give way to the main road and stop on the side of the road. After the officers and soldiers had passed, they continued on their way.
I have to say that today's capital is very unstable. The officers and men of the brigade were running through the streets, and the patrols of the Gyeonggi Patrol were much more dense.
After returning to Shuyuan, the Qingshu sisters and brothers were having lunch, and Zhou Boyan, who went out before dawn, came back. He cleaned his hands, sat down opposite Qingshu and them, and took chopsticks to eat.
After lunch, Qingyang and Qinghao couldn't hold back any longer, pestering Zhou Boyan to ask questions.
Qingyang's body is pumping, but he is still a childish nine-year-old boy, "Brother, there are a lot of officers and soldiers on the street, do they all want to arrest Master Jiang, who committed the crime?" ”
Zhou Boyan raised his eyebrows, "There are a lot of officers and soldiers on the street, how do you know about Lu Dao?" ”
Qingyang glanced at Qing Shu, who was sitting next to him and fiddling with the embroidery thread, and replied, "My sister took us to the shop." ”
Zhou Boyan listened and said, "Today and tomorrow, if there is nothing important, it is best not to go out." ”
Qingyang's eyes were full of question marks, "What are you doing?" ”
Zhou Boyan didn't treat him as a child, and explained seriously, "There was a big case in Beijing. The case not only involved five or six adults such as Lord Jiang and Lord Li, but also involved the Pingbohou Mansion. There will be more officers and soldiers running back and forth on the streets tomorrow than today. Although this matter has nothing to do with us, it is better to have more than one thing, and it is most appropriate to stay in the garden. If you get into trouble, it's a lot of trouble. My brother will stay with you in the garden and won't let you get bored. ”
Qingyang said like a little adult, "Xiaoyang has grown up, and he knows the importance of the Dao, so he won't go anywhere for the past two days, so he will stay here." ”
Qing Hao blinked, "Brother, Brother Xiaorong can't go there?" ”
Zhou Boyan nodded, "Well, it's best not to go anywhere." ”
Qing Shu, who had been listening to them quietly, raised his head and played with an embroidery thread in his hand, "The Pingbohou Mansion you are talking about, is it the Pingbohou Mansion that Jiang or something relies on?" ”
Zhou Boyan replied affirmatively, "Yes." ”
Qing Shu thought for a moment, "I remember, Weiran Academy is the property of Pingbohou Mansion. "Back then, my younger brother was studying in Weiran Academy and was bullied, but the master of Weiran Academy didn't care about it at all. In the end, it was her fierce hair that she got justice for her younger brother. At that time, she complained very much about Weiran Academy, so she naturally paid attention to the things about Weiran Academy, and she knew that the founder of Weiran Academy was Ping Bohou.
"That was before. Soon after you left Beijing, Weiran Academy changed hands and was taken over by the imperial court. ”
Qing Shu was extremely surprised, "There is still such a thing?" ”
