Chapter 22: The Second Girl Who Committed Suicide
Dongfang Shuo and Gongsun Ao led the men and horses to move slowly in the direction of Chang'an. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Dongfang Shuo, who was originally a civil official, should have taken a car, but he rode a war horse instead. Watching Dongfang Shuo slide left and right on the back of the bare horse for a long time, Yan Ming's eyes suddenly lit up.
Looking at Yan Ming's thief's appearance, Gongsun Ao and Dongfang Shuo were a little helpless, this younger brother of his was a little too smart.
At this time, Wei Qing took the cavalry slaves of the Pingyang Hou Mansion and followed behind Dongfang Shuo and Gongsun Ao, and also waved goodbye to Yan Ming.
"I said brother, this brother of ours is really not simple. It's a pity that looking at his appearance, he doesn't want to be an official. If you recommend him to Your Majesty, you will definitely be put to good use. After leaving Maolingtun, Gongsun Ao and Dongfang Shuo said.
"He, though, aspires to be in business. But just like the wheat mang in that pocket, sooner or later it will have to stand out. Last time, I told Your Majesty about his Hongmen Banquet, Your Majesty likes to read and write, and he attaches great importance to this matter! Dongfang Shuo exclaimed.
Later, Wei Qing's eyes wandered away for a moment, and he was noncommittal to Dongfang Shuo's approach, and was silent for a while before saying: "I think our old brother is easy-going when he laughs, but when it comes to more serious things, he will definitely not retreat half a minute." ”
Gongsun Ao also nodded and said with a smile: "From the moment Brother Yan Ming saw you yesterday, I felt that you two fell in love. It's the hot pot last night, the good wine, and the sworn goodbye, all of which have nothing to do with you. Our old brother, I don't think he's an ordinary master. ”
Wei Qing smiled, if he said that he rescued Yan Ming in the wilderness that day, it would be regarded as a marriage, but it would not make such a grand worship.
And he is now a slave, although he has a good personal relationship with Gongsun Ao, there is still a certain gap between him and Dongfang Shuo, who can participate in the emperor's core affairs.
Some of Yan Ming's actions are obviously lifting himself. Now I have learned this set of moves called 'Tai Chi' from Yan Ming either directly or indirectly. After careful calculation, the biggest gain from this trip to Maoling was actually his own slave person.
"Our brother - extraordinary!" Dongfang Shuo finally said with a straight face.
Gongsun Ao and Wei Qing nodded in agreement.
But Dongfang Shuo's next sentence surprised them: "Especially that hot pot, it's really delicious." I'm afraid that our emperor has never tasted such a delicacy. A few of our brothers are more than the emperor's mouth! It's so cool! ”
Gongsun Ao and Wei Qing glanced at each other, with such a big brother and elder brother, their brothers' future days are destined to be extraordinary.
Seeing the three brothers leave, Yan Ming's heart was a little reluctant.
But he buried this reluctance in his heart.
At the banquet, what he says will definitely be done.
The three elder brothers developed their careers in the court, while he developed the economy in the countryside. This can be regarded as a distant echo.
Yan Ming greedily breathed the fresh air between heaven and earth, and he had a vague understanding of the future, once his business empire was established, it would inevitably attract the attention of the court.
And this attention will make him involved in the center of politics.
The center of politics is three points more dangerous than the most dangerous triangle in the Pacific.
Yan Ming shook his head, humming a modern song in his mouth, and walked to the back of the east wing.
He wanted to tell Old Man Lu to drive out a set of tables and chairs, and to be more exquisite. When Dongfang Shuo comes next time, I will bring him back.
When the time comes, Dongfang Shuo will be his living billboard.
The dignitaries and nobles of Chang'an City will definitely flock to it. Maoling's furniture will be the first to prevail in the imperial capital.
And Maoling Yanjia will also become a well-known merchant. This paves the way for the rest to come.
Of course, all this needs to be explained to Yan San.
As for himself, Yan Ming has never forgotten that he is a teacher. His West Wing is about to open a private school to teach children to read and write.
"Science is the primary productive force." Yan Ming thought of this and felt that it made sense.
Even if the economy is developed, without a solid scientific foundation, everything will become a bubble.
If you want to make yourself bigger and not cause death, I'm afraid you still have to rely on science.
"Confucius has 3,000 disciples and 72 sages to pass on his way. It can be seen that the disciple protégé can be regarded as a reliable friend. As long as my scholarship is there, my spirit will not die. Yan Ming suddenly felt that he was taller.
And this tall self-confidence comes from the solar-charged mobile phone under his bed.
Because it is solar-powered, the phone will not run out of power until it reaches the end of its life.
There are a lot of courseware, basic knowledge, and even scientific research-related articles and literature stored in the mobile phone. He can use it all.
Once when no one was paying attention, Yan Ming also secretly tried to connect to the network with a mobile phone. But there was no signal at all.
Every time Yan Ming tried to search the network signal, he would laugh at himself and scold himself for being 'stupid', but every time he couldn't help it, he wanted to try stupidly.
Canvas backpacks and sapper shovels also lay quietly under the bed.
Yan Ming looked at the sapper shovel, and suddenly thought of an object - a plow!
With a plow, farming is much more efficient.
He was glad that he was born in the early 80s, and he still remembered this old farming tool.
At this time, those modern seeding machines and ploughing machinery were impossible to manufacture. I don't really understand the principle myself.
But this simple wooden plough can be made.
"Yan San-" Yan Ming was busy in his house for a while, and suddenly roared Yan San's name.
"Childe, you call me." Yan San ran over from the East Field Courtyard in a hurry, smelling of wood flowers.
"Get a blacksmith and type this out for me. Also, let Lao Lu make this thing for me first. Yan Ming threw Yan San two drawings.
One is an iron ploughshare and the other is a wooden plowshare.
Together, the two things are the plough that the Hereafter will use for farming.
"Okay!" Since taking over the drawings, Yan San has been most concerned about enriching his library. Now that I have obtained two more drawings, I am even happier than getting the emperor's decree.
Seeing Yan San happily running out of the yard, Yan Ming stretched his waist fiercely. It's really tiring to draw drawings, especially without CAD drawing software, so you can only draw by hand. This is a test of his basic skills in college.
Yan San went fast and came back quickly.
Before he entered the house, he heard him shout loudly: "It's not good, the girl of the old Wang family committed suicide-"
As far as Yan San's voice was concerned, all the ages of the Yan family heard it.
The place of Maoling is a tunzi. There's nothing big about it all year round. Now that someone has committed suicide, it has become the biggest news in the local area.
The old man Lu of the Dongchang Courtyard took a few servants of the Yan family who helped, poked his head out with the smell of shavings, looked at Yan San, and waited for him to continue shouting.
Yan Shan also walked out of the house, followed by the three concubines, and asked with a puzzled expression: "The second girl of the old Wang family is not going to get married, why did she find a short meeting?" ”
"I heard that the old child of the Hu family didn't want to marry her, so he ran away. That's when he committed suicide in shame. Yan San said.
When Yan Shan heard this, his face changed, he glared at Yan Ming, and immediately walked through the gate and walked towards Lao Wang's house.
"Iniquity!" The old lady of the Yan Chen clan didn't know when she would come out, and the dragon head crutch paused on the ground and said.
Yan Ming knew the meaning of Yan Shan's glance, which was obviously a silent condemnation of his predecessor's practice of escaping marriage.
"Old lady, don't worry, the second girl of the Wang family is not dead. It was found just after hanging himself, and now the family is hugging and crying. Yan San was afraid that the old lady would be in a hurry, so he immediately said.
"Come with your dad and have a look." Yan Chen scolded Yan Ming.
"Hmm!" Yan Ming agreed, and immediately followed behind Yan Shan and walked towards Lao Wang's house.
