Chapter 262: It's hard to be honorable
Lying under the same tree, in the breeze of the same autumn tiger, enjoying the shine of the cooler and cooler autumn sun, Mao Yulong and the little fat man's hearts were much closer. "How did you get to this damn place?" The two of them asked each other together, but they both choked up, and then said together: "You say it first." β
As a result, they choked again, and when they finally looked at each other, they laughed together, and this laugh wiped out the original unfamiliar feeling of laughter, and both of them were in a good mood.
"I'll start with that." Mao Yulong smiled and explained the reason for his coming, and the little fat man twisted his brain, squinted his eyes, and looked old and sophisticated, not to mention the eunuch Baoju, but it was a different kind of sigh: "Mao Shuai is far overseas, starting with 200 warriors, and independently supporting the entire Jiangdong situation." When the regular army of the imperial court spent countless money and food, and there were many defeats and few victories, only Mao Shuai had great victories from time to time, he was really a hero who stood up to the sky, and he was really lucky to be in a class with his nephew. β
Mao Yulong was still very pleased that the little fat man could have such an evaluation of his uncle Mao Wenlong, and the mood of the two sides was closer.
"What about you? Why don't you run to this damn place? β
The little fat man replied with an indifferent face: "My father wants to save face, and seeing that the sons of other families have the qualifications of a prisoner, he wants to buy me a chong faΓ§ade, but I also made a mistake and wants to be a prisoner, so let's be a serious one, what kind of ability is it to buy?" β
The Ming Dynasty's Guozijian is now also fallen, and the qualifications of the Guozijian can also be bought with money, and those rich businessmen can also buy one as a talisman in order to improve the status of their families, and some nobles also buy one in order to pretend to be civilized for those gentlemen, so that a chain economy has been formed, and the price of the current Guozijian prisoners has been quite clear, and each prisoner's graduation certificate is 10,000 taels alive, which is the annual income alone, reaching as much as 400,000 taels.
But there is also a premise, that is, these donors cannot be officials, that is, these purchased graduation certificates are graduation certificates, which are only used to show off improper practical use.
But looking at the value and status of this little fat man, there is no problem with taking out 10,000 taels, why do you come here to suffer?
Mao Yulong raised this question, but the little fat man pouted and said: "The identity of this prisoner who was bought with money is rotten on the street, so what is there to show off?" Let's take it for the truth, you just said that you are guilty here, and you also saw it when I came, as long as the money is spent, the prisoner will have to lift your shoes and pour water for you, where is there such a thing as suffering. Then he said faintly: "Besides, I came to this country prison, but it is much more comfortable than me at home." β
Mao Yulong wondered: "As a prince of the country, if you look at your body, you must be covering the sky with one hand at home, and you are as happy as a pig." β
As a result, the little fat man waved his hand and said with a painful face: "Come on, I'm at home, that's hell on earth." β
Mao Yulong suddenly realized that he was born as a British military general, so of course he should treat his son strictly: "It is understandable that your family is strict (another name for daddy) to be strict with you." Now those noble children in the capital are really making a lot of noise, I don't know how many nobles of the previous dynasty have been destroyed in the hands of their gentlemen, your father is for you, and it is also for your family. β
As a result, the little fat man sneered: "Old senior, you are really mistaken, my father serves the emperor all day long, is in charge of the Beijing camp, and does not return home once for ten days and half a month, so he doesn't care about me at all." Even when I returned home, he would call me and ask me how many troubles I had caused in the streets, and how much money I had lost. There are fewer troubles, less money to lose, and he is not happy. I think the purpose of being a dad is to train me to be a gentleman. Then he squinted at Mao Yulong, who looked confused, and lowered his voice and said: "At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the title of the duke was no less than three hundred, but if you look at how many there are until now, if you don't make up something to find black, sooner or later something big will fall on your head." β
Mao Yulong understands, this is a way to self-defile to protect himself, it seems that this two men are still smart people.
"That is, the family is strict and disciplined, and the parents of the world are pitiful, and the world is reasonable."
At that time, the little fat man's face darkened: "I have no mother since I was a child, and I don't remember what my mother looks like. Then he sighed gloomily: "It would be nice if I had a mother, even if it wasn't my own." β
People who lack maternal love want to get mother's love the most, but in fact, this is very pitiful, and Mao Yulong is silent.
As a result, the little fat man suddenly raised his voice and said, "You don't understand what I said, don't you?" β
Mao Yulong asked inexplicably: "Then you are the king at home, why do you still say that you are in dire straits?" It won't be a bunch of house slave yard workers who see you as small and bully you. β
As a result, the little fat man screamed: "I have an old sister at home, a girl of seventeen and eight, who always can't get married, and as a result, she is aggrieved and perverted, and if she beats me a few times a day, she will have itchy hands that day." β
Mao Yulong laughed, it seems that this woman is still talking about a standard perverted tigress, if she marries home, her husband will have nothing to do with this man.
"Born in a noble family, or the most popular noble today, there are not a few nobles who want to marry your sister, are you still afraid that you won't be able to marry? If you want to marry your sister, don't you go three streets? β
The little fat man fell to the ground again, with his feet crossed, his eyes staring blankly at the sky, and he sighed and said, "You are right, my sister is going to die here." There are also nobles who ask for marriage, but if you look all over the street, is there still a Venerable person in this world? eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, it is not worth mentioning as a small problem; Bullying men and women is all medium mistakes, and there are not a few perverted murderers. Don't say that my sisters don't get married, even if I see it, I have to beat them up first. β
After more than two hundred years in the Ming Dynasty, the social atmosphere has degenerated, and those hereditary nobles are even more so.
In particular, the old Zhu family is not mean to the people, but they are not soft on killing officials and nobles. Those nobles live in this world, they are always trembling, and they have to come up with some small tricks to let the emperor grasp from time to time. Even the British duke, who has been waiting for three generations of emperors and has twice made great contributions to the dragon, wants this little guy to become a gentleman, so you can imagine how serious the situation is now.
"Xungui is in decline, but your sister is not unable to get married, don't pay attention to what is right, just find an innocent merchant or family, it is not a problem at all, there are not a few people who climb the dragon and attach the phoenix." Mao Yulong didn't know how to come up with such a bad idea. The meaning couldn't be clearer, okay, three times five divided by two, and stuffed out.
