Chapter 282: Falling deeper and deeper
"You still have to work hard in your studies, the education of the saints, and you have to be cautious, how great Confucianism we are in the south, most of these Confucians are also lingering in the capital, if you have the opportunity, grandpa, I will introduce you to you, and you will definitely benefit a lot when the time comes." Shen Guangzuo stroked his beard and said to Mao Yulong lovingly.
Mao Yulong respectfully thanked. But seeing that although my uncle cared for him, his eyes never left to observe the little fat man, I knew that my uncle was a drunkard, not because he was drinking, but because he was watching the little fat man in landscape paintings. But at this time, it is not broken. Officialdom, you just fight, you are just a horse wash who is not an official, in fact, it is cloth clothes, we don't participate. In fact, I didn't even have the opportunity to participate. Besides, the emperor is still ambitious and ready to train himself to be a lonely minister, so I don't bother to bother with the bullshit of your parties.
Seeing that it was not early, Shen Guangzuo said to his third son, Shen Jiyang: "You go outside to support those colleagues, just say that your grandson is coming to see you, I am going to set up a family banquet here, and the family will talk about their relatives, if there is anything to let them go to the yamen tomorrow to meet." ”
Shen Jiyang bowed down and went out to convey it, of course, the message conveyed was not like this, but the prince of the country came to visit, and Shen Guangzuo wanted to set up a family banquet to entertain Yunyun.
As a result, those visiting officials who went in disappointment exchanged heads and ears, and spread this unusual news all over the capital in a blink of an eye, so that countless people with good intentions began to re-examine the current situation.
Mao Yulong had already sensed the subtleties of the matter, and it was obvious that he had jumped into a deep pit. But at this time, whether it was in family affection or etiquette, he was not allowed to lift himself up and leave, and he could only be pushed into the pit with one foot in front of his eyes, and when he looked up, the heartless little fat man was still full of joy that the relationship between himself and his uncle had become tacit, and he was happy for himself.
I went to the backyard to meet the female elders, and I also received a rare warm hospitality, and I also got a lot of gifts after a round of visits, which is much heavier than in the past.
At this time, the banquet in the flower hall has been opened, of course, the uncle is sitting upright, the second uncle who hurried back, and the third uncle who has been accompanying him, also sat down left and right, the little fat man was of course placed in the VIP seat, Mao Yulong was also moved to the next level by exception, of course, in front of several cousins, there was no identity to sit here.
There is no special topic at the wine table, mainly the warm past between relatives, occasionally interspersed with some officialdom situations, but there is no trace of these things.
Originally, it was not dark for a wine banquet, but under the circumstance of the host's deliberate actions, he actually dragged on until the time of the palm lamp, and ate it for two hours.
Between the banquets, Mao Yulong naturally asked about his uncle's situation.
As a result, Shen Guangzuo frowned deeply, and sighed: "Your uncle's body is crooked, it's not a moment and a half, this year, he also contracted a wind chill in the winter, and his body is even heavier, it seems that this tuberculosis disease has already sat down." ”
When he said this, he was already sad.
The eldest uncle has already achieved the position of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, originally, as long as he stays up for another three or two years, everyone will hold it again, and the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites is not unattainable, and the burden of replacing the prosperity of the Shen family will fall on the uncle.
How can I not fulfill people's wishes, my uncle's body, since he was a child, won weak, and in the first two years, he coughed inexplicably, and invited famous doctors, but he was helpless, and this winter, he was also infected with a wind chill, which made the already unimproving body even worse. The Emperor of the Apocalypse took pity on him and sent countless imperial doctors to see him, but he was powerless, and he was bedridden so far, and it was difficult to enter the medicine stone.
Hearing this bad news, Mao Yulong's heart moved, tuberculosis, which is what later generations called tuberculosis, which in later generations, in addition to the original vaccination, a meal of penicillin will of course be cured.
Penicillin? Mao Yulong suddenly flashed in his mind, and a golden idea to make a fortune quickly immediately jumped into his mind.
Yes, in this era, without any antibiotics, if penicillin comes out, it is more expensive than gold, especially in this era, when the world is civilized, and the gentry and scribes take it as a matter of elegance to linger in the flower street and willow lane. Of course, sexually transmitted diseases such as syphilis are also widespread. Speaking of conscience, even the emperors of several dynasties have been infected with this disease, which shows that it is widely spread, and if you can make penicillin, it will definitely be a great benefit.
Especially this thing, unlike the bank and lottery tickets that I imagined at the beginning, are too deeply constrained by the direct constraints of this market gentry, penicillin this thing, as long as your mouth is tight, absolutely let all people, there is no way to take yourself, and you can also make friends with many dignitaries through this thing, paving the way for your future development.
suppressed his heart and became more and more excited the more he thought about it, ate the meal without knowing the taste, and then pulled the little fat man to say goodbye and go home.
Shen Guangzuo rarely sent the two little brothers out of the mansion in person, and under the lantern of the gate in the panic, he turned around and took a long burden handed over by the third son, handed it to the little fat man with his own hands, and said to the little fat man with a smile: "The prince has passed the house, all the hospitality is slow, just saw that the prince liked this thing, and the old man gave it to the prince to play." ”
The little fat man really didn't expect that this time he would visit his brother at the door, not only to eat and drink, but also to take something before leaving. It's still a child's heart, and I don't know the depth of the water here, and I don't care about the rules of courtesy, so I stood on the steps directly and opened the cloth bag, but it was the pre-Qin ancient sword I liked.
The uncle said humbly: "It's just a gadget, it's useless to put it in my house, but it is the owner of the thing to give to the son, and there is nothing to thank." "Saying that a treasure worth a thousand gold is a gadget, this is really a gift. Mao Yulong also had to admire his uncle's mastery of gift-giving and his cheekiness.
A group of people said goodbye to each other, followed by the two family members who came to pick up the gifts, and carried heavier things than when they came, and walked back happily with Mao Yulong and the little fat man. And Shen Guangzuo stood in front of the gate, squinting his eyes and brushing his beard, watching two hours away. In fact, he was secretly observing the twinkling eyes on the street corner, then nodded with a satisfied smile, and when he turned around, he told his family to close the door, and then instructed his two sons: "Follow me to the secret room." ”。
The gate of the Shen family was slammed shut, and the entire street fell silent, and those spies hiding in the shadows reported to their masters with the information they had gotten.
This night, I don't know how many people will no longer sleep.
