Chapter XII
Ji Yazi was never heard from again.
By the time dawn broke, she was long gone.
In the middle of the neatly folded futon, a copper plate of her assistant teacher at the Guangwen Museum was left, as if to announce her previous existence.
I almost inquired with the student assistant teacher of Guangwenkan, but no one knew where she lived.
To be precise, no one cares.
The Chinese New Year's Eve holiday has finally passed, and the Guozijian has returned to its former liveliness.
And I, finally, in the first month of the year, turned positive.
From then on, I was able to teach independently, and I no longer had to follow Fu Zhiliang to listen to the lectures, but I was really called "Mr.".
What is even more gratifying is that the Qingming Festival was given in advance.
A total of five taels of silver, heavy in the pocket, the sound of bumping between the road, listening to it makes people feel happy.
Finally, I have money in my pocket, and I don't panic.
With a broken incense burner, I found a jewelry repair shop, thinking about inputting two gems on it to see if it could be glued to the broken lines.
It's a lot of hemorrhage.
If it weren't for Yan Cassia as my life-saving benefactor, I would never be willing to pay this money!
In front of the counter, there is a row of dazzling gemstones, neatly arranged by size.
The shopkeeper enumerated that ruby can seek marriage, sapphire seek nobility, topaz seek wealth, and black gemstone ward off evil spirits.
Think about it, think about it.
The Yan Cassia family is huge, and sapphires are not suitable.
Cassia Yan is luxurious and luxurious, and topaz does not have to.
As for the idea of warding off evil spirits, it is not right to give people their minds.
That... Let's go with rubies.
I secretly thought that if he didn't marry a wife when he was weak, he must have a hidden disease, which can be regarded as helping him.
The shopkeeper said that it would take ten days to be embedded.
I nodded.
The shopkeeper also said that the incense burner was broken into two halves, and if it was to be inlaid, it was necessary to inlay one at each of the fractures before it could be repaired.
I got it, I asked for two rubies of equal size and paid double the price.
I cried.
I felt my empty pockets and left the store.
Before the five taels of silver were hot, they were handed over.
But even so, it is not enough.
The cross-section of the fracture is very large, and it is necessary to choose a large number of grams to cover it.
And that means I'm going to pay two big ... The price of rubies.
Five taels of silver was only enough to fix the money, so I had to borrow some from Fu Zhiliang first, and then pay him back when I had paid him.
If you knew this, you might as well apologize for your seppuku.
Bowing his head through the street, but somehow, he walked to the pawnshop he had been years ago.
On the small plaque erected in front of the pawnshop, the absoluteness of the second courtyard in the south of the city has been crossed out in rich ink, and the flying "sold" stimulates my heart.
Wow, what else am I thinking?
Stretched out his hand and patted his face, which was cleaner than his face, and he even had the luxury of buying a house.
I'm really floating.
The newly enrolled students of Guozijian have registered, and only dozens of students have applied for the examination.
At first glance, the number of people is quite large, but the numerator should be compared with the denominator, and this year, a total of 8,888 new students were enrolled in Guozijian.
This is an auspicious number.
Seeing that other departments were putting up lights, buying new tables and chairs, and even transferring two temporary helpers to help arrange dormitories.
And I pulled the list and saw the end at a glance.
These new students, from now on, will be my students.
Fu Zhiliang still has two dropout classes in his hands, and he really can't take the time to take the new students, thinking that he will officially take up his post soon to teach and educate people.
It's exciting.
"I'm here to support the textbooks for the new students of the Faculty of Mathematics."
With two newly enrolled students, they went to the main register office to register and receive the freshmen's textbooks.
The dense crowd filled the room, and all departments sent a large team of people to scramble to carry books and textbooks, if I hadn't brought these two students to help, my small body would not have been able to squeeze in.
"Arithmetic department?" The familiar female voice sounded, and my heart sank.
Sure enough, the delicate and enchanting woman in front of me was Lin Wanyun, who looked at me unpleasantly.
"Yo, who did I say?" Lin Wanyun's finely drawn phoenix eyebrows were raised upward, and the corners of his mouth showed a sarcastic smile: "It turned out to be Fu Yazi who was 'brave to fight thieves', Assistant Teacher Fu." ”
Lin Wanyun's voice was sharp and thin, even though the room was intertwined with each other's tongues, it was still harsh and eye-catching.
I pulled down my face, it was really a narrow road.
Obviously, I have never had a holiday with her, but this Miss Lin is against me, which is really a headache.
The newly enrolled students are still following behind me, and I can't be short and arrogant here, or I won't be able to manage the children.
"Oh, I heard that you were bullied by thieves a few days ago, I heard my father mention this, but I am very concerned." Lin Wanyun said in a tone of voice, not loud or small, just covering the noise in the room.
The sound of pointing and pointing came from behind me, and even the students who were following me looked at me a little differently.
The so-called murder is heart-wrenching.
Lin Wanyun's words were vague, but they stripped me of my innocence, which is hateful.
"Speaking of which, I haven't gone to the capital to inquire about the progress of the case, since Lord Yin has already chatted with Miss Lin about the case, I think I have come to a conclusion, I don't know what to ask, has the thief been arrested?"
Lin Wanyun's eyes changed, she didn't expect me to fight back.
After all, how dare a rustic woman who came out of a small fishing village and have no support in the capital.
But I did.
The government has official rules that before the case is solved, the file must be kept strictly confidential, and it must not be mentioned to unrelated persons to prevent leakage of secrets.
But Lin Yunyun talked about it in public, and said conclusively that he was the "father", that is, Yin Lin Zhizhou in the capital government, this matter is not big, but it is not small, if someone accuses him of dereliction of duty, it is enough for Lin Zhizhou to drink a pot.
Lin Yunyun didn't answer.
There were more and more students watching the excitement around us, and all of them kept glancing at the two of us with playful eyes.
Even though Lin Wanyun was arrogant, he didn't dare to die in his father's official position.
"Miss Lin said just now that I was bullied by thieves, which is not bad." Leisurely picked up the material book that Lin Wanyun spread on the table, and said: "But fortunately, with the help of a strong man, I escaped from danger, I think I also believe too much in the security of the capital, thinking about how it is also the national capital, who expected that on this long street, there is really a robbery on the street, and I think that the security here is indeed worse." ”
Seeing Lin Wanyun's face flush and white for a while, I added angrily: "If something really happens to me, Lin Mansion Yin Cai really wants to take the blame and resign!" ”
"Shut up!"
Lin Wanyun pushed me angrily, and the force was so great that he pushed me to the ground.
Wiping tears from his eyes and running out.
It's like she's been bullied by me.
The students behind me looked at me differently.
I could feel the "Boom-" with a burning gaze of admiration.
After all, Lin Wanyun was used to being domineering in this courtyard, but no one had ever dared to embarrass her so much.
I think they are all too soft-boned, but there is a father who is the Yin of the capital mansion, so people are so afraid?
But I've only been in the limelight for half a day.
Before I was about to disperse, a small servant came to preach, and the Taoist son was looking for me.
Guozi is the chief head of the courtyard, he should be in charge of the business, the chief bookkeeper, and then down to Fu Zhiliang, Lin Xiangji and other doctors, I am a subordinate of his subordinates.
The little guy lowered his eyebrows and led forward.
The courtyard of the sacrificial wine office is very large, and large bluestone slabs and bricks are paved all over the courtyard, and there are more than a dozen in a row at a glance.
I roughly calculated in my mind that this courtyard would be the size of the entire department.
As I walked, it was dark in front of me, and I entered the corridor in the courtyard, and I couldn't see anything clearly except for the lantern carried by the guide boy.
After walking for a while, my eyes widened.
After the little guy led me into a rockery, there was another path in the rockery, and the potholed walls and damp and cold air finally made me vigilant.
"Aren't you going to see the sake priest?" I stopped and said warily, "Where is this going?" ”
The little guy bowed: "The adults are waiting for the girl at the end, and Dr. Fu of the Arithmetic Department is also there, please follow again." ”
I heard that Fu Zhiliang was also there, and I was a little relieved, but this place was too remote, and I had to embankment.
Silently, he picked up a pointed stone and pinched it in his hand, just in case.
When I finally came to a dead end, my shoes and socks were soaked with damp moisture, and the feeling of skin sticking to my skin made me very uncomfortable.
The servant's hand rested on a stone wall and knocked three times regularly.
Two heavy and one light, seems to be a code.
Sure enough, the stone wall opened in response, revealing the full view of the inside.
When I opened my eyes, there was a cave in the stone room.
"That's her!" Lin Wanyun's eyes were swollen like a peach, and when she saw me arriving, she got up from her chair, pointed her fingers at me like white, and shouted at the person sitting at the head: "Slander my father in front of the crowd today!" ”
Fu Zhiliang sat opposite Lin Wanyun, his face was very ugly.
The man sitting at the head had a big belly, a shiny face, a crimson official uniform with nine pythons and five claws, and a gloomy face.
I secretly speculated that this outfit was afraid that it was from the three-grade country to supervise the wine lord.
"Fu Yazi, an assistant teacher in the arithmetic department, has seen Lord Sacrificial Wine."
The man sitting at the head didn't answer, and he didn't mean to let me get up, Lin Yunyun glanced at me very proudly.
The air was very quiet, except for the sound of water droplets from nowhere.
I counted in my heart, the one hundred and eighteenth, the one hundred and nineteenth, the one hundred and twentieth drop...
"Get up."
The gloomy voice finally sounded, and I secretly pinched my squatting numb calves and stood up tremblingly.
"Fu Yazi, do you know what's wrong?"
I looked up and looked at the face of the priest who was not angry and arrogant, and I was very confused.
"It seems that you don't think you're wrong." The sacrificial wine held a string of beads in his hand, and his stubby fingers rubbed slowly.
"Yazi is stupid, and I hope that Lord Sacrificial Wine will show it."
"You are so bold to talk about the court officials, do you know what the fate is?"
"In his position, he does not seek his own government, he is an official but misbehaves, he does not share the worries of the king, he does not understand the suffering of the people, he loses the will of the people and scatters the will of the people, how can he say that he can't say it?"
As if angry, the sacrificial wine slammed the beads to the table and shouted, "Presumptuous! ”
