Chapter 155: Offering Ink and Sincerity
Because she was going to send ink to the princess's mansion the next day, the most important thing was to send a book, so Zhenniang seemed to have some insomnia.
Zhen Niang, this person, has something on her mind, so she can't sleep well, so she was confused this night, and in the middle of the night, she also had a dream, dreaming that Sister Ge Qiu and Li Zhengping were beheaded, and the knife and axe hand went down, and her body was in a different place, and she woke up in a frightened way.
The heart was still pounding, and he couldn't help patting his chest and comforting himself: "People say that dreams are all opposite, there are things in dreams, and in reality there must be peace and well."
Outside, the little girl heard the noise in the courtyard, so she lifted the curtain and came in: "Zhen girl, are you awake?" ”
"Wake up, what time is it?" Zhenniang asked.
"It's just now, there's still an hour before the middle time, so the girl is sleeping." Xiaoya said.
"Well, you can continue to rest." Zhenniang answered, and the little girl went out lightly.
continued to lie down, but Zhenniang was thinking about sending ink, and I don't know if Luo Wenqian really arranged everything as his father said, what if he sent it and the princess ignored it?
Then my heart became a little apprehensive.
Then he patted his forehead vigorously, things have come to this point, and he is still thinking about something, but he finally tried his best. Thinking like this, Zhenniang's heart is settled.
She just couldn't sleep, and started running the train again, and she was thinking about who killed the yellow wolf.
It can be seen from Brother Zhengping's letter that the yellow wolf was not killed by them, and no matter how much they think about it, they will cause the account book, if the yellow wolf was really killed by Sister Ge Qiu, Li Zhengping really has no need to hide it.
After all, Sister Ge Qiu's killing of the yellow wolf is not in accordance with the law. But Yu Li said it was in the past. After all, the yellow wolf killed Gettana alive in prison.
But Brother Zhengping's letter said the first sentence. When Sister Ge Qiu saw the yellow wolf, the yellow wolf was already dead.
So who killed the yellow wolf?
Originally, Wei Million was also suspicious, but although Wei Million had the intention of killing the yellow wolf, he was obviously one step late, otherwise, there would be no account books or anything.
Thinking of this, somehow? Zhen Niang's eyes appeared in front of Ge San'er who she saw yesterday, and she looked stunned. Pushed people into the water, of course, it is not unusual for this kid to do such a thing, Ge San'er is only fifteen years old, and he is a little stupid, but Sister Ge Qiu is really good to this younger brother on weekdays, the woman said Sister Ge Qiu, it is normal for Ge San'er to be angry for her.
But Zhenniang remembered that Ge San'er said almost categorically: "My sister is not a murderer, and the surname Huang was not killed by my sister." ”
Why did he think so, of course. Hanzi's reason cannot be judged by common sense.
Zhen Niang scratched her head in thought.
In a few moments, it will be time. Zhen Niang got up, the little girl came in with hot water, and Zhen Niang washed and moved into the ink shop through the corner door in the backyard.
Originally, the ink shop in the backyard was connected to the small wooden building where Zhen Niang lived, but later invited many workers, so the door of the original backyard ink shop was sealed, leaving only the corner door behind, and the ugly woman who guarded the corner door was the ugly woman, and opened a main door at the back of the original ink workshop, so that it was convenient for workers to enter and exit.
In this way, the whole Li house has formed a zigzag pattern, the upper mouth is the storefront of Mozhuang, facing the official street, and the two 'mouths' below, the left hand is the residential area, divided into the front yard and the middle yard, the front yard is the Li man and some of the stewards of the Mozhuang live, and the middle courtyard is the small wooden building where Zhen Niang lives, and the word 'mouth' on the right hand is the factory area of ink making.
Zhen Niang took the little girl, the little girl held the lantern, because it was still very dark at the beginning of winter, and the two entered the ink shop through the corner door of the backyard.
At this time, a big car was parked at the main entrance of the ink workshop, with a small flag in the front of the car, and the flag was embroidered with Li Mo's inscription.
Zheng Fuli was directing several workers to move goods. Seeing a virgin mother coming, she greeted her: "The goods are almost loaded, and we will leave at the right time." ”
"Okay." Zhen Niang nodded, and then said, "Then put on the small flag of the princess's mansion." ”
Zheng Fuli patted his head: "Look at my brain, it's still thoughtful that the virgin girl thinks, and by sending ink, she also promotes our Li Mo's name by the way." I'm going to get it."
Zhen Niang smiled lightly and didn't speak, in fact, the reason why she wanted to hang the small flag of the princess's mansion was not only to be famous, but also to prevent accidents. Although everyone's eyes are now staring at Li Zhengping and Sister Ge Qiu, it is not preventing others from staring at her Li Mo by the way.
So there's nothing wrong with taking a little more precautions, not to mention that you can make Li Mo famous by the way.
When it arrives, the rain is still fine and dense, and this is the case with the spring rain here.
The Li family set off a firecracker here, after all, it was to send birthday ink to the princess's mansion to ask for auspiciousness and celebration.
"The big treasurer, this is to send ink to the princess's mansion, Wishing you prosperity." As soon as he came out of the street, he bumped into Ma Gonggong, with a few small servants, and was pressing the road along the street. Most of them are familiar with the situation of each store, so that they can collect taxes on time.
"Happy New Year to Grandpa Ma, yes, don't dare to delay the princess's affairs." Zhen Niang took the hat and smiled lightly.
Now the patrol fence of Jubaomen Official Street has suffered two consecutive deaths, and this belt, all kinds of strange and chaotic gossip are the most popular, therefore, some good people on the street are rumored that the patrol fence of this part of the official street can not be done.
So during this time, the taxes on this side of the official street were collected by Ma Gonggong himself.
However, on this rainy day, it was just now, and Ma Gonggong had already arrived here, and he wanted to come out early, but he was a little too diligent, why did he come? Although Zhen Niang is not sure in her heart, she is about to have some numbers. It's not in vain that she made a little more preparation
At this time, a small guy next to Ma Gonggong was about to talk, but was stopped by Ma Gonggong.
"Since it's a princess's business, don't delay, send it quickly." Ma Gonggong said to Zhen Niang.
"Yes, listen to my father-in-law." Zhen Niang arched her hand at Ma Gonggong, then put on her hat and continued to set off.
"Father-in-law, didn't you say you were going to check the Li family's goods? Why don't you tell me to stop the investigation? When the carriage was far away, the little guy who was about to speak before asked Grandpa Ma.
"You don't have long eyes, you can't see the memory of the princess's mansion." Ma Gonggong glared.
The little guy scratched his head embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I can't read." "It is the memory of the princess's mansion. The little Si shrunk his neck. Where do you dare to say more.
"Hmph." Ma Gonggong snorted. The reason why he came here so early was that someone spent a lot of money to ask him to check the goods in and out of the Li family, saying that he was looking for an account book.
Originally, checking the goods was the business of his tax department, and it was profitable, and the Li family had to stuff money into him when he couldn't get it, so why not do it, but now the Li family is holding the small flag of the princess's birthday. No matter how blatantly he investigates, it's not uncomfortable to find.
And here, Zhenniang went all the way to the princess's mansion. Naturally, the carriage could not go through the main entrance, and the stepped carriage at the main entrance could not go up, so it went to the side door.
"I mean, what's the matter with you? Let's go, which house do you think this is, this is the princess's mansion, how can there be any old goods that you don't want, if you don't leave, I'll let people beat you and leave. When I got to the side door, I saw a man in a felt hat, nodding his head. was reprimanded by the gatekeepers.
The man cowered and stepped aside.
"This big brother seems to be setting up a stall in Langfang City?" Zhenniang looked at him a little familiar, and she remembered. The Guyu Elk Wamo in her hand was bought from this man, and at that time, she picked up a big leak.
"Ah, it's a girl, I remember that the girl bought something good from me." The man squinted and looked at Zhen Niang for a while before he recognized it, after all, he was deeply impressed by the incident at that time, but his face was still a little stupid when he said it at this time, and he obviously couldn't let go of it.
"Lai Quan, why are you still here, go home quickly, your second girl fainted again, hurry up and send it to the medicine hall." At this time, a sister-in-law came over in a hurry and said to the man.
"Sister-in-law, the family is almost unable to open the pot, where is the money to send the medicine hall." When Lai Quan heard this, he squatted down with his head in his hands, with a sad face, he didn't make much money every day, and the illness of several girls in the family was all over.
Zhen Niang listened on the side, but she didn't say a word, took out the money bag, took a silver ingot and handed it to Lai Quandao: "Big brother, you can take this money to treat the child's illness, in addition, you can't do this business all the time, if you are willing, you can go to my Li Mo to sell it, and I can give you credit goods." ”
"This, this, this...... Girl, how is this possible? Na Lai Quan looked at the ingot of snowflake silver in his hand, and was a little dumbfounded.
"Go ahead, you deserve it." Zhen Niang said.
"Hmm." Na Lai Quan nodded heavily, and then without saying a word, he turned and ran.
This...... This...... A few guys who came to deliver the goods on the side were dumbfounded, this big shopkeeper was too kind, and he didn't worry that this person was deceiving her. It's just a matter of the big shopkeeper, and they can't inquire about it.
Then the group entered the princess's mansion. This time, in addition to the birthday ink, there are some inks that are used on weekdays.
The inventory of those ink free housekeepers used on weekdays is put into storage.
However, the birthday ink must be tested by the princess herself.
hall.
Princess Ning'an has inspected them one by one, especially the collection of ink composed of longevity pictures, as well as the December flower ink of the Shanghai style emblem ink in later generations, etc., plus a Tianxiang unique step, with Tang Yin's lady picture as the original form of Xuanmo.
"Well, that's pretty good." Rao is princess was indifferent, and she was moved when she saw these rare inks.
"Thank you princess for compliment, but this birthday ink because of family affairs really delayed the princess for a few days, the princess is so magnanimous, Zhen Niang can not be repaid, just right, last year with my aunt to Cheng'en Temple, saw the Buddha Hui master to build the Buddha bone mound with his own strength, so he got inspiration, made a set of ink, want to invite the princess Yazheng, if you can get into the eyes of the princess, it should be Zhen Niang's companion." Zhen Niang said respectfully, if you want to hand over the account book, you must not be in this hall, and the account book will be placed in the mezzanine of the ink box.
"Oh, Master Buddha Hui is now a high monk, the Buddha bone mound in Cheng'en Temple is stained with blood like peach blossoms, attracting monks from other places like clouds, so, it arouses the interest of this princess, then come to the study with this princess, let this princess see your ink." Princess Ning'an smiled.
Then the four girls on both sides led the way, and Zhen Niang accompanied her with the ink box,
When I entered the study, I had my own girl and put on tea.
Zhen Niang opened the ink box, then carefully took out the ink, and put it in front of the princess according to five pictures. The first group of pictures is some pictures of cattle and horses, and the second group picture is the back of Master Buddha Hui moving bricks, although it is only a back, but it can make people feel the pain of thousands of burdens.
The third group picture is a silhouette of Master Buddha Hui carrying a weight forward, although he is carrying a heavy burden on his back, but there is no pain on the side face of Master Buddha Hui, and some are still compassion, which is a kind of compassion that has crossed the world to get out of the sea of suffering.
The fourth group of pictures is the Buddha bone mound with blood stains like peach petals, nothing else, but there is an urge to worship people in that feeling.
And the fifth group of pictures is some dragon elephants.
"Okay, if you want to become a dragon elephant in the heavens, first be a horse and cow in the world, Li Zhenniang, when you compete for ink that day, if you take out this ink, even Old Man Qi will have to admit defeat if he is afraid." Princess Ning An said a little excitedly.
Originally, with her temperament, she would not be so excited, but these pictures hit the pain in her heart, from the death of her mother, she was a young girl, surviving in the palace step by step, watching many sisters leave first at a young age, she is even more difficult step by step, everyone is a princess and a daughter, and how can she feel frightened step by step.
"Winning or losing is a trivial matter, but the 'horse cow' in this world is really hard, if the princess likes it, the little woman has a reluctant request, please ask the princess to say something for the 'horse cow' in the world." Zhen Niang said, and knelt down with a thud.
She specially sent this picture, first, for the birth experience of the princess, and secondly, it can also show the suffering of the people, which just leads to the account book.
The princess sat on the throne and sipped tea, and said for a while, "It's hard to think about you, take it out, and let me see what it is, but the horse rarely speaks for others in front of me." ”
Hearing this, Zhen Niang knew that Luo Wenqian had really made preparations in advance, and this father did not deal with Luo Wenqian, but he still knew him very well.
"Yes." Then Zhenniang got up, pulled out the compartment of the ink box, and took out the account book from it. Respectfully handed it to the princess.
Then there was only the sound of turning over the account books in the study, but the princess's face was getting more and more ugly, she knew that some yamen were not like words now, almost a nest of greedy, but she didn't expect it to be so bad.
However, when the account book was finished, her expression returned to indifference, and she looked at Zhen Niang and said, "It's hard to ask for your life for the people." ”
Zhen Niang smiled bitterly: "The princess is too uplifting, Zhen Niang is just a little girl in the boudoir, or many ways of doing business, but after all, there is no courage, so it is to ask for the people's life, but it is better to be forced to be helpless, Zhen Niang hopes that she has not seen this account book." ”
"You're honest." Hearing Zhenniang say this, Princess Ning'an was a little happy.
asked again: "Before, at the side gate of the princess's mansion, the man named Lai Quan was obviously not a sincere person, as soon as he said that, you would send him money, aren't you afraid that he is a liar, there are a lot of deceptions in Nanjing." ”
"I gave him the silver for a reason...... Zhen Niang said, and told the matter of getting Yu Elmo that day, and then continued: "Although this kind of thing depends on its eyesight, it is understandable in everyone's opinion, and even has the ability to perform, but in fact I took advantage of him, I went home for the New Year this time, and told my grandfather about it, and my grandfather said that I lost a 'sincerity' word." Therefore, I gave him money, not because he deceived me or not, but because he deserved it. ”
To tell the truth, during the Chinese New Year, Mr. Li said that Zhen Niang lacked a word of sincerity for this matter, and Zhen Niang was not convinced, this is a leak, and in later generations, which one is not proud of being able to pick up leaks. But just now, when she saw Lai Quan's appearance, and then thought that she had become the enshrinement of the princess's mansion with Yu Elmo, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Only then did I understand what Grandpa said.
