Chapter Seventy-Nine: Wearing the Same Wear, Not Owning a Fate
Someone patted the king next to him: "It is estimated that the light will return to the light, maybe the son is like her relatives and friends, and the mother-in-law is good on weekdays, so it's okay." "The king saw that he was talking to a forty or fifty-year-old aunt,
Granny Ao's expression was unexpectedly calm next to the king: he asked the king to help her sit up: "Who are you?" ”
This made Wang Bi how to answer: "Granny Ao, I am Wang Bi of Meyer Mansion." ”
Granny Ao could only sigh, she was a woman in her prime, but suddenly became a down-and-out old woman overnight, not only had nothing but was also sick. It turns out that crossing over is not a re-entry, sometimes it is just an ordeal.
Yesterday the Meyer Mansion saw the king's side, and it was too much like the man who carried him to the pond.
She shook her head suspiciously, and said weakly: "I just think you look like an old friend" After speaking, she gasped, looking very tired.
The king walked up to her and said, "Does my mother-in-law have anything to ask me for?" ”
Granny Ao looked at her carefully, sighed and said, "Maybe I mistook it." ”
The king said, "Granny Ao wants to find someone, I can help." ”
Granny Ao smiled sadly, what can he help? At last she muttered, "There is water everywhere, and there is a deep pool in the middle of the night." ”
Pond of water! These three words swept through the king's heart like lightning.
"Granny Ao, do you want me to be an old man."
The king asked, his mind not thinking too much, he took off the black crystal, maybe this would help the woman. Granny Ao's hands were as dry as tree branches. The king shook Granny Ao's hand.
Granny Ao smiled effortlessly: "Settle your destiny, maybe I really hope you are not." ”
Wang Bi knew that what Granny Ao said at this time would not be against her will, if she knew that the fates of the two people who crossed at the same time were so different, she was afraid that Granny Ao would not feel at ease if she died.
After Granny Ao finished speaking, she closed her eyes, and Wang Bi wanted to put the crystal in her hand, but Granny Ao's thin hand clenched into a fist. Seeing this, Wang put his hand under Granny Ao's nose, and there was no breath between her mouth and nose.
Seeing that the crystal in his hand was still there, he sighed, or reincarnation is the best relief. What's so good about carrying the memories of a past life? Even if you cross over, you don't know who it will be or where you are.
Wang walked out of the room and waved his hand at the people outside, and the neighbor's aunt hurriedly went in to take care of it, took out a few taels of silver from her arms, and asked Yuexia to hand it over to the neighbor committee to help bury her.
Wang was silent, he was lucky, but could he be lucky all the time? Every life is an uncertain future.
Originally, it was planned to set off on the first lunar month, but Wang Fang deliberately advanced it, and there were too many things to do, such as when the time was ripe to find the half of the white crystal stone. If the tea procurement goes smoothly this time, you can have money to go to Western Xia.
Is there no money for the king now? It's more than ordinary people, but to do big things, these family backgrounds are just a drop in the bucket, not to mention that there is a big project in Jincheng County that has not started. In addition to He Libo, Lu Shenyan and his wife, there are five or six family members, four or five maids-in-law, and shearers from Jincheng County who have to spend. This kind of family background is faster to sit and eat empty.
It's a long way to go, but fortunately, I have the experience of the previous time, and I don't have to take a detour this time. The affairs of the family are handed over to the Rouge Tiger, don't look at it as a woman, but she is no worse than a man in her ability to do things.
Wang Bian deliberately brought Lu Shenyan, Lu Shenyan has always been clever and sincere, since Wang Bian knew that He Libo's real name was Wanyan Impeachment Libo, although it has always been a deep brotherhood, but he knew that sooner or later one day He Libo would leave. Moreover, Wang Pan hopes that He Libo will not leave, so that there may not be a future Jin Kingdom.
I think so, but a lot of things are handed over to Lu Shenyan as much as possible, but fortunately, He Libo is very arrogant, and his mind has always been a little distracted recently.
Jianzhou's trip went very smoothly, after all, he went directly to see Cai Xiang, where he went in the past, the most common thing was a county order, and now he went out to contact the prefect at a different level, and the value of the king was also different. Although I don't know how to say it, it can be regarded as a procurement by order.
Cai Xiang is around 50 years old, loyal, upright, knowledgeable, and profound, and has a good reputation in Jianzhou, both in officialdom and in local business. During the New Year's Day court meeting, Wang Pan also visited the capital, but Cai Xiang returned to Jianzhou a few days earlier than Wang Pan.
And Wang Bang came this time, mostly to contact the local tea merchants, and consulted Cai Xiang's recommendation, according to the number given by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, roughly booked some, and when the new tea came down, naturally these tea merchants wanted to send the tea to Bianjing.
Wang Bian was very low-key on this trip, maybe it was Granny Ao's affair that made Wang Bian have another understanding of life. There is Cai Xiangwang here who has no intention of interfering, just to get acquainted with it, plus he sees that the weather is getting warmer day by day, and he is worried about Jincheng County, so he arranged for Lu Shenyan to follow up on the purchase of tea, and he and He Libo rushed west to Jincheng County.
This trip was even farther, and Xiaoxing stayed overnight and hurried to Jincheng County in mid-March. Arrange a place to live in the county seat first, and He Libo went to find Yin Shijie and Yu Danian. Wang went to the county government to visit Cheng Hao first.
Seeing from a distance that there were people standing at the entrance of the county government looking in, Wang Bian stepped forward to look inside, and there were also some people standing in the courtyard, who turned out to be watching the county magistrate try the case.
Wang walked to the courtyard and saw Cheng Hao sitting on top of the county hall, and there were two people kneeling in the hall.
Like the people next to him, he arched his hand and asked, "This benevolent brother, do you know what case is being tried?" The old man did not look at the king, but replied briefly, "Fight for the property." "I just craned my neck and looked inside.
To say that Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi's brothers are already famous, the school hall in Beijing also posted a notice of the lecture date of the two-person school during the Spring Festival. Wang Bi secretly wanted to come just to see this Cheng Hao trial.
It turned out that in this case, a county citizen borrowed his brother's house, and many years later, a lot of coins buried in the ground were dug up in this house, and the son of the brother's brother of this county citizen believed that his father had hidden it, and the two families went to the county government to file a lawsuit.
The elder brother is no longer alive, and the two kneeling in the hall are nephews suing their uncles. After listening to the two of them, the people of the county who listened to the trial were full of discussions: "The coin can't speak, see how this adult can decide?" ”
The side refuted: "The dead man can't speak, and no one can break the matter." ”
Some said: "It should be the elder brother, if this younger brother has money, why doesn't he buy a house?"
The more the people of this county talked, the more energetic they became, and some said: "It should be my younger brother, I have been here for a long time, and I have some savings if I don't buy a house." ”
The voice of you and me is getting higher and higher, it seems that everyone is the county master, and even the plaintiff and the defendant who are kneeling there can't help but look back at the courtyard of the county office.
Cheng Hao patted the shocked wood "quiet". The citizens of the prefecture immediately fell silent. Wang is funny, this Cheng Hao usually teaches like a gentleman, this meeting is really majestic.
Cheng Hao asked his nephew, the plaintiff: "Plaintiff, you said that the coins belonged to your father, do you know when your father buried the coins in the house?" ”
The nephew replied, "My lord, it's been forty years."
Cheng Hao asked again: "How many years has the defendant borrowed your father to live in this house?" ”
The defendant looked wronged: "It's been 20 years, and this coin was buried not long ago, and my nephew came to my house that day." Later, he brought someone to dig it up, saying that my brother had buried it. ”
Cheng Hao's face was gloomy: "I didn't ask you!" ”。 What else the defendant wanted to say, he was intercepted there by an adult. The plaintiff looked at him with a smug look on his face.
Cheng Hao asked, "Plaintiff, is what the defendant said the truth?" "Listen to the plaintiff's confirmation. Cheng Hao immediately sent someone to take out the coin, put it in his hand and looked at it repeatedly. I asked the plaintiff: "Plaintiff, have you ever lied?" ”
The plaintiff said, "No!! ”
Cheng Hao threw two coins in front of him: "Take a closer look, now the government mints money, due to the shortage of copper a few years ago, iron coins are minted, are these iron coins forty years old?" ”
The plaintiff was clever enough to hear that the tone was not quite right, and he held the coin to the left and right and held it up to the light. Suddenly kowtowed: "The villain knows that he is wrong." ”
But the defendant was at a loss. Cheng Hao asked: "Defendant, the plaintiff has already known his mistake, do you want to sue him?" ”
The defendant was honest: "My lord, we are uncles and nephews, and I have borrowed this house for a long time, and I will not tell you." ”
Cheng Hao saw them say this, asked them to sign and draw to announce their retreat, and everyone dispersed, Cheng Hao also walked down the hall and came to the courtyard, he had already seen the king.
The citizens of the county who walked out next to him discussed, "My lord, I have decided the case, and I am really a god." "Why don't people do the county master." As he spoke, the county citizens dispersed from the courtyard of the county government.
Cheng Hao had already come to the king's side: "If there is no virtuous brother, it will be here so soon." So saying, he invited the king into the inner house.
Wang said: "There is not much time to delay in Jianzhou, and I just arrived here, so I caught up with Bo Chun to solve the case, but I understood." ”
Cheng Hao laughed: "I just happened to remember seeing Zhang Zai in the capital, talking about your broken horse case, I had an idea, this silver ticket is marked, and this coin is the same." ”
The two laughed and came to the hall of the inner house, and when they saw that there were a lot of new books in the hall, Wang asked next to him, "Bochun, is this another new book?" Cheng Hao said: "You came just in time, the school building you funded has been completed, and I went to the capital during the Spring Festival last time to go to Guozijian." Some of them were printed, and you can see that these were added to the schoolhouse. ”
As he spoke, he took out a booklet from the cupboard, which was all used by the king to sponsor the school. He pointed and said, "You see, these are all accounts, and now that I have purchased books, and some of them are rich." I prepared these books and put them in the school house, and everyone in the county could read them in the school house. ”
The king closed the account and said, "Don't I still trust Bochun?" If it's not enough, I'll fund more. ”
Cheng Hao said with a smile: "Where is not enough, it is enough to be rich." I was about to tell you, if part of it is used to subsidize those who have excellent grades but are from poor families, as the travel fee to enter Beijing for the exam, do you think it would be good? ”
Wang said with a smile: "Of course, it couldn't be better. ”
Cheng Hao also seemed to be very satisfied with his actions, he said: "Recently, there is a gentleman here who has learned a talent with outstanding talents. And I worship the virtuous brother very much, and the virtuous brother can meet him if he has time to choose a day. ”
When the king heard a talent, he was eager to know him immediately, and now it is a plan to use people, and who knows which one will be able to gain a foothold in the court in the future, so he readily agreed.
