Chapter 237: Giving the Word

Zhu Xiuqing stood up, came to the bookshelf next to her, took out a book, and then began to look at the paper, for a while, she exhaled heavily, hesitated, put the thin paper on the oil lamp on the table, the bamboo paper burned quickly, Zhu Xiuqing looked at the paper blankly, and when the flame was about to burn her fingers, she shook her wrist and threw it into a brazier next to her. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The blazing firelight reflected Zhu Xiuqing's delicate cheeks, she looked at the firelight blankly for a long time, and then burst out laughing, "But I underestimated you, this hand is retreating as advance, but it is a good job, and the resistance of the entire salt merchant is also remarkable, so I don't need to help you."

But she looked down and thought for a long time, but after hesitating, she still took out a piece of paper and wrote on it. After a while she opened the door and handed the rolled paper tube to the man in charge of the pigeon.

The man glanced at the paper tube, took a pigeon from the pigeon cage, put the paper tube into the paper tube, stretched out his hand, and the pigeon fluttered away.

"County Lord, County Lord, hurry back, someone is coming from Kaifeng, Miss hurry up and take a look" Yingxue at the door looked at Zhu Xiuqing who came out, and hurriedly said to her.

Zhu Xiuqing raised her eyebrows and asked suspiciously, "Oh?" Someone from Kaifeng? ”

Na Yingxue obediently followed behind Zhu Xiuqing and said, "Yes, the old housekeeper just now asked someone to come and inform,"

When Zhu Xiuqing stepped into this hall, he saw a capable servant standing at the door, and when Zhu Xiuqing came in, he stepped forward and knelt down on the ground at her, "Miss, the master asked the little one to send you a secret letter, please Miss open it"

Zhu Xiuqing frowned, took the sealed cowhide bag from the servant's hand, Yingxue next to him, had already handed over the scissors, Zhu Xiuqing carefully picked up the thread of the cowhide bag, took out an envelope from here, and carefully looked at the fire paint on the mouth of the envelope, then opened the envelope and looked at it carefully. After a while, Zhu Xiuqing frowned, looked at the servant, and asked in a deep voice, "My father just asked you to bring this?" Nothing else? ”

The servant shook his head, "No, the prince just asked the little one to bring this over." ”

Zhu Xiuqing waved his hand, signaled the servant to retreat, looked down at the letter tightly held in his hand, but his heart was like a stormy wave, father, is it finally time to do it?

In the north of the Beijing Division, about 400 miles, there is a city more majestic than the city wall of Beijing, in the west of this city, a dilapidated castle, dense figures, in the morning sun, busy reinforcing and repairing the city wall, with logs and wooden thorns of the city gate, under the vigorous push of several soldiers, slowly opened, only to see a few horses, galloping out of the city, the first person, wearing the chain mail of the Ming army in the middle and low-level officers with little configuration, under the white-washed felt hat, an ordinary can not be on the ordinary cheek, A pair of resolute eyes, looking ahead.

"My lord, the eldest master of the capital division is not happy to do things, how long has the superintendent handed over the things in his hand, those guys don't impeach the superintendent, and don't say how to deal with those guys, it's really incomprehensible" A person on horseback, urging the horse under the crotch, rushed to the side of the person in front of him, and said loudly.

I saw the person in front of him, and glanced at this person, "I'm talking nonsense, carefully I sew your mouth with a thread, it stands to reason that you say brother, you should be more steady, but how can your brother be more like your brother than you, Wang Sande, if you still speak so thoughtlessly in the future, Lao Tzu will throw you into the team of transporting dung and water, so that your kid can cultivate his temperament well." ”

I saw that the big man next to him changed his face greatly, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, and shook his head, "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely take care of my mouth." ”

The first man, looking at the appearance of the big man, laughed, at this time, I saw a group of people in the distance walking along the official road, in the direction where they were.

"It's Yang Quan ahead? It's great to meet you here, so let's go to the fields together! Suddenly, someone in the crowd in front of him suddenly said.

Yang Quan looked intently, and hurriedly got down from this horse, "Yang Quan, please see the Inspector!" ”

The person on the other side is closer, isn't it Lu Xiangsheng or that?

"Haha, Yang Quan doesn't want to be polite! Oh, by the way, Mr. Yang has also passed the year of the weak crown, have you ever taken the word? Lu Xiangsheng came to Yang Quan's side, stretched out his hand and grabbed Yang Quan's arm and said.

Yang Quan said with some embarrassment, "Don't laugh at villains, I'm a poor farmer, not a scholar, where can I express words?" ”

"Oh, that's it, if Yang doesn't dislike it, how about the old man give you a word?" Lu Xiangsheng looked at Yang Quan and said with a smile.

Hearing Lu Xiangsheng's words, Yang Quan was a little flattered, not to mention that Yang Quan, a farmer, was born, but now he is a small military attache in the Ming Empire, and he is really not qualified to take such elegant words, which belongs to the patent of scholars. The only exception is that the court officials, especially when a military general is recognized, he will be given a table word, so that the military general is qualified to be called, of course, the last years of the Ming Dynasty etiquette collapsed, many people no longer care about these, and at that time the civil and military status was different, many military generals also said that they had gone to private schools, recognized the text, and even some people had taken the imperial examination, so it was not surprising that they were barely half a scholar, and it was not surprising that they had a table word.

But Yang Quan didn't have these conditions, so he wanted to have a table, and only Lu Xiangsheng gave him a name.

"Then I'll be annoying the Inspector," Yang Quan said excitedly.

"Well, although Yang is always capable of both civil and military affairs, he is still the most specialized in farming, Xunzi once said, "This section is full of money." "Those who do this, agriculture, and cultivation and weaving, this is the foundation of the world. If you don't stop ploughing and weaving, you will have abundant wealth if you save money, in my opinion, Yang is better than taking the word book? Lu Xiangsheng turned his head to look at Yang Quan and said.

At this moment, Yang Quan is 10,000 unwilling in his heart, even if he is a farmer, but this Lu Inspector wants to nail himself to death with the name of a farmer, although Yang Quan does not hate farmers, and sometimes he is proud of his identity as a farmer, but he shouts all day long, I am afraid that he will be laughed to death by those civil servants in the court in the future.

He opened his mouth and endured the words, this Lu Xiangsheng treats himself well, even if this name is ugly, he has to endure it today. Thinking of this, he arched his hand at Lu Xiangsheng and said, "Thank you, Lord for the words!" ”

On the other hand, Song Kuanzhi on the side looked at Yang Quan's appearance, and knew that this uncle didn't know the meaning of the book, so he got off the horse, came to Yang Quan's side and said, "My lord, do you think the name of the superintendent is not good?" “

Yang Quan nodded subconsciously, "Isn't it?" It's called this name, I'm afraid those who read will die of laughter."
