Chapter 528: The Opening Ceremony of the Qiong Fair

Not long after Xu Lang returned home, Liu Guannan and Xu Ru came with the child in their arms.

"Shout, Guannan." Xu Lang shouted, "Why do you have time to come and see me today." ”

"Who came to see you, are you good-looking?" Liu Guannan smiled, "It's been a long time since I've visited Lu Lao and Aunt He, and I'm here to visit them today." ”

"Guannan is here, hurry up and sit in the house." Cheng Yiyi walked out of the room and reached out to take the child from Xu Ru's arms, "Let my aunt hold me for a while, I haven't seen this little guy for a long time." ”

Xiaoyan and Xiaoyong also ran out of the house: "Auntie, auntie, I want to play with my brother." ”

Cheng Yiyi put the child down: "Don't be naughty, you two play with your brother, don't make your brother cry." ”

Hyo-yan and Hyo-yong ran into the house again with Yoo Guan-nam's child. Xu Ru hugged Cheng Yiyi: "Sister Yiyi, you are inconvenient, don't come out, how good it is to raise it at home." ”

Cheng Yiyi took Xu Ru's hand and said with a smile: "Get used to it, how can you stay idle, besides, this is the second child, and I have experience." ”

Cheng Yiyi saw Xu Lang and Liu Guannan enter the house, and asked quietly: "Xu Ru, you are not ready to ask for another one, there are too few children, and the family is not lively." ”

Xu Ru replied in a low voice: "Sister Yiyi, I have it too, just two months." ”

"Yes." Cheng Yiyi shouted happily, "You are here to report the good news today, this is really a great event." ”

Xu Lang heard it in the house: "What a big happy event, let us know it loudly." ”

"You know there's a fart." Cheng Yiyi came in and smiled at Liu Guannan, "Okay, Guannan, I'm going to be a father again." ”

Liu Guannan smiled: "I also just knew, Tongxi, but you Yiyi and Xu Lang rushed to the front again." ”

Xu Lang stood up and circled around Xu Ru: "Why don't I look like it, this looks like I'm pregnant." ”

"Xu Lang, what are you looking at?" Liu Guannan scolded with a smile, "My daughter-in-law also let you see it." ”

"Offended, offended." Xu Lang said with a smile, "I have to celebrate today, and I have to be happy when Lu Lao and Aunt He come back in a while." ”

Cheng Yiyi said suddenly: "Why haven't Lu Lao and Aunt He come back yet, they should have come back at this time, and Zhiruo and them haven't come back either." ”

Xu Lang also felt that something was wrong: "Yiyi, you sit with Guannan and them for a while, I'll go to the school to have a look, and by the way, I will go to the restaurant to ask for a few dishes." ”

When Xu Lang, Lu Tianxiang and the others returned home, it was already dark and the lights were in the hands, and there was an incident in the school today, He Yun and Zhao Zhiruo and others had been busy dealing with it, so they came back late.

This matter is not big or small, but it is actually a fight between students. But it was not a few students who fought, but dozens of students who fought in groups, and the key was that Zheng Chenggong was involved.

A time-traveler doubled as a history teacher in the school, and during today's class, the teacher asked the children to discuss their views on the arrival of Westerners in the Ming Dynasty. The children of Yulin Bay have more contact with Westerners, and they have no ill will towards Westerners, so they expound their friendly views. However, the children from Taiwan did not have a good impression of Westerners, and stood up to refute the opinions of the children in Yulin Bay. The two sides were at loggerheads, and in the end the debate turned into a bickering. This traverser actually doesn't have any experience as a teacher, but he just remembered to be inclusive, but unfortunately he forgot to be good at guiding, so in the end he didn't say who was right and who was wrong.

After class, the two groups of children were still debating, and they started to move their hands as they spoke. There are many children in Yulin Bay, and the children in Taiwan think that they have suffered a loss, so they called all 30 Taiwanese children together, and the two sides fought in a group fight, but Zheng Chenggong was also involved, and he was hit a few times in the face. However, because Feng Bin and Wang Chengen's two nephews had a good relationship with Zheng Chenggong, they also pulled a group of people to stand on the side of the Taiwanese children this time, and the two sides finally evolved into a group fight of nearly 100 people.

He Yun finally led the teachers to separate the two groups of children, and each found their parents, and the matter was temporarily settled.

"Aunt He, this matter is actually nothing, the main thing is that our husband does not guide enough." Xu Lang didn't care after listening to He Yun's story, "As long as you pay attention to the guidance in the future, nothing big will happen." ”

"But Zheng Chenggong is also involved in this." Cheng Yiyi interjected.

"Don't list him alone." Xu Lang replied, "Zheng Chenggong is also a child, although he is Zheng Zhilong's child, we should have no problem treating everyone equally." ”

"Actually, this matter is not Zheng Chenggong's problem." Lu Tianxiang said, "It's just that we didn't expect that the differences between regions could also be staged in the school, and they are all children." ”

"Lu Lao, there may be no way for this kind of thing." Liu Guannan took over, "Now there are people from all over our Yulin Bay, especially more and more northerners, and it is actually quite difficult for all voices to coexist peacefully." ”

"I know it's hard, too." Lu Tianxiang stopped talking.

Xu Lang asked: "Guannan, there is something I have always wanted to ask you, but I have never been available, are there any legal punishments for children under the age of fourteen?" ”

"Not really." Liu Guannan replied, "I understand what you mean. But although our current law does not specify a specific age, it generally only applies to people over the age of sixteen. Under the age of 16, especially children under the age of 14, we usually just admonish and find the parents, and there is no specific measure. ”

"Okay, okay, let's stop discussing this at the dinner table, Lu Lao and Aunt He are already very tired." Cheng Yiyi picked up her wine glass, "Old Lu, Aunt He, Guannan is here today to report the good news to your second elder." ”

Lu Tianxiang and his wife looked at Liu Guannan at the same time: "Guannan, what happy event do you have?" ”

"It's nothing." Liu Guannan smiled embarrassedly, "It's Xu Ru again." ”

"It's not a happy event, it's the biggest happy event." He Yun said to Xu Ru, "I congratulate Miss Xu first, how many months has it been?" ”

Xu Ru replied in a low voice: "Aunt He, it's only been more than two months. ”

"Okay, I'm going to add Ding to our Yulin Bay again." Lu Tianxiang smiled and picked up the wine glass, "I will respect the two of you first, this time I will have both children and daughters if I give birth to a girl." ”

At the end of October, the Qiong Fair finally opened. On this day, Zhang Laowu's carriage was not enough at all, and on the way from Yulin Bay to the exhibition hall of the Qiong Fair, all kinds of carriages, ox carts, and mule carts came and went, and there were people on foot on the side of the road to the venue. Ye Yan led more than 100 patrols to maintain order at the venue, and Yan Hao and Cao Lin also led dozens of patrols to direct traffic along the road. More than 10,000 people attended on the first day.

Qin Songwang, as the host of the opening ceremony of the Qiong Fair, stood for a quarter of an hour without speaking, and he couldn't hear what he was saying at all, and no one was listening to what he said.

Two stages were set up on both sides of the open space, and the troupe invited from Guangzhou sang here for three days. Many people who come to the Qiong Fair are not actually here to see any exhibits, but to come and have a good time.

Qin Songwang put the speech back into his clothes: "Forget it, don't speak." I declare that the Qiong Fair is now open. ”

The door to the exhibition hall opened, and people outside the door rushed in. Qin Songwang turned to Chen Mincheng and the others and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, let's please." ”

At this Qiong Fair, Yulin Bay sent invitations to officials at all levels in Qiongzhou Mansion, and Wang Kezong naturally would not come, but Chen Mincheng, Zhou Chongde and others still arrived at Yulin Bay. The governor of Yazhou is no longer Xie Kui, but as in the original history, he was replaced by Ren Keshou, who was born in Fujian, and this time he also came to Yulin Bay.

The entire hall was packed, and the front of the various booths was crowded with a bunch of people. Various merchants are sparing no effort to promote and display their products. Chen Mincheng, Zhou Chongde and others have long been accustomed to such scenes, but Ren Keshou has just arrived in Yazhou to take office, and he is still very uncomfortable with the people and officials visiting together.

"Qin Gongzi." Ren Keshou said as he walked, "Mr. Chen and General Zhou are here, aren't so many people afraid of any danger now?" ”

Before Qin Songwang could answer, Zhou Chongde shouted at the side: "Lord Ren, you are new to the city and don't understand the rules here. In Yulin Bay, in Yazhou, it's all like this. We are happy with the people. ”

Zhou Chongde has had a lot of contact with Yulin Bay over the years, especially after doing business in partnership with Yulin Bay, he gradually stopped paying attention to the civil officials in these places. One by one, all day long, the money is not as much as mine, the soldiers under my command are not as many as me, and the grade is not as high as mine, why do I still nod to you.

Ren Keshou glared at Zhou Chongde and did not speak. Chen Mincheng said: "General Zhou is right, and my family often says that having fun with the people is the real way to be an official. ”

Zheng Zhilong was also among these officials, and after listening to their conversation, Zheng Zhilong just smiled slightly in his heart.

Zheng Zhilong originally didn't want to come to Yulin Bay to participate in this Qiong Fair, and there were still a lot of things to deal with in Xiamen and Taiwan. He originally wanted Zheng Zhihu to come on a trip, but Wang Zhaoxing personally went to Taiwan and told him about the fall of Phi Dao, Zheng Zhihu also persuaded him to come to Yulin Bay to see his son, and Zheng Zhilong came back with Wang Zhaoxing's boat.

After coming this time, Zheng Zhilong found that he had come to the right place, not to mention the dazzling array of Western goods, but only the things that Yulinwan made himself and those things that Wu Sangui transported from the Northeast could make if they could be sold to Japan. Zheng Zhilong's heart secretly hated Tao Min coming, why do you have to go to Phi Dao if you have nothing to do, just hit Phi Dao, and want to attack Dongying. If Dongying is occupied by you, then who will I sell my goods to, Zheng Zhilong has the idea of preventing Tao Min from attacking Dongying.

As they walked, they dispersed, each looking at the goods he was interested in.

Zheng Zhihu pulled his brother to a booth: "Big brother, look at what this thing is?" ”

Zheng Zhilong looked at it for a long time and didn't understand: "Is this something to sit on, but why is it empty underneath, and the back one doesn't look like a backrest." ”

"General." Qin Zhi happened to walk over from the side, "This thing is called a flush toilet, that is, a net bucket." ”

"This, this is a net bucket?" Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhihu were stunned, they had never seen such a clean bucket.

"You show General Zheng." Qin Zhigang instructed the people in the booth.

The receptionist picked up a sewage bucket next to it, poured some sewage into the toilet, sprinkled some powder, and then pulled the rope next to it, and with a bang, the dirty things in the toilet were flushed clean.

"General." Qin Zhigang said with a smile, "General, please look, there is no dirt left behind." This flush toilet can be conveniently installed in or next to the bedroom. ”

After Qin Zhigang finished speaking, he guided the Zheng brothers to a model house on the side, which was designed by Di Chong according to the residences of later generations and the current habits: "General, please see, this is the small house that we will launch in Yulin Bay next, which can accommodate a family of three or five people, and this is where the flush toilet is placed." ”

Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhihu looked around the model room several times, and Zheng Zhihu shouted: "Big brother, this is good." With this, we don't have to go out to poop in the house. ”

Zheng Zhihu's words caused a burst of laughter from the people around him.

Everyone was shuttling around the exhibition hall, and Wang Hua and He Jiong stood in a secluded place outside the exhibition hall in plain clothes. Wang Hua was promoted to brigadier general, and He Jiong was also promoted to one rank and hung up the rank of major.

"Director He, can you arrange it properly?" Wang Hua asked.

"Principal rest assured." He Jiong replied, "My subordinates have sent out all the people we can use, and they are all mixed in the crowd, and there will be no problems this time." ”

Wang Hua nodded: "Do you know about the patrol room?" ”

"The subordinates have informed Chief Inspector Liu, and they should know."

This time the Qiong Fair is another place for people to gather, especially officials from all over the country. Therefore, after discussing with Qin Songwang and Dong Fei, Wang Hua asked He Jiong to secretly send out all the personnel who could be used in the Second General Affairs Department, and put on civilian clothes to mix in with the personnel, so as to be on guard against possible accidents at any time.

Towards noon, there were still a few small accidents. No one expected that so many people could come today, and the restaurants and food stalls outside the exhibition hall were simply too busy, and a considerable number of visitors could not buy food. The two had a dispute over a bowl of noodles, and they both said that they paid the bill first, and they didn't let each other go. The stall owner was so busy that he didn't know who to give the last bowl of noodles to to, so the two diners pointed the finger at the stall owner and turned his stall up.

Another accident was car snatching, and the two families got into a fight over a horse-drawn rental carriage. Fortunately, the patrol appeared in time to stop the two riots. These episodes did not affect the enthusiasm of the Qiong Fair, and the entire exhibition hall was still full of people inside and out. 21010
