Chapter 358: Injustice
Slightly revise the two-minute text, don't order it for the time being
+++
There was silence in the carriage, and no one spoke.
When the gate of Ganzhou was closed, Ji Qingling slowly lowered the curtain and leaned back on the back of the seat.
She was very sad at the moment, she didn't know what it felt, and she didn't want to say a word, she just closed her eyes and exhaled slowly.
Qiu Yue sat on the small few opposite, and next to him was Qiu Shuang.
This little girl, who has always been smiling and has a big heart, forgot to use a handkerchief at the moment, and is wiping her tears with the back of her hand, and Qiu Yue turned her head to the side, just eager to find a place to cry.
After a while, Qiu Yue came to her senses, and took advantage of the fact that the road was still flat, poured Ji Qingling a cup of tea, handed it over, and whispered: "Girl, moisten your throat......"
Ji Qingling took it, held the teacup in his hand, and didn't drink it, just sat in a daze, his mind empty.
She hadn't been able to shake off Fang Cai's emotions yet.
Half an hour later, the carriage stopped, and after a while, there was a faint sound of conversation from outside.
It was the state and county officials of Ganzhou City who saw Gu Yanzhang off halfway.
Those voices of entertainment are completely different from the words of the people in the state city who are bloody, heartbreaking, decent, regular, and not wrong.
Listening to those words and techniques used in officialdom, Ji Qingling finally gradually came back to his senses, but he only felt even more sad in his heart.
The officials sent ten miles.
This is already a distance that will be sent by very close relatives and friends, and in terms of etiquette, I really can't find any fault.
But Ji Qingling always thinks that this is not at all comparable to the cry of the people in the state city.
After a whole day's travel, from top to bottom, the people in Gu Fuzhong were depressed, they didn't even talk much, and when they rested, no one was in the mood to eat well.
When they arrived at the post station in the evening, everyone rested, and after washing, Ji Qingling snuggled in Gu Yanzhang's arms, holding his hands and arms, feeling that the other party's body was rare and a little hard.
She didn't speak, she only took her right hand to find Gu Yanzhang's hand in the quilt, interlocked her fingers with it, pulled it gently, got closer again, raised her head, and kissed his face.
Gu Yanzhang's body finally softened slowly, let out a long sigh of relief, and didn't speak, only holding Ji Qingling in his arms.
The two snuggled quietly until midnight before falling asleep.
The next morning, as soon as Ji Qingling woke up, he saw Gu Yanzhang's eyes open, looking like he had woken up early.
She was a little distressed, and she didn't know if she was distressed that the other party couldn't sleep, or if she was distressed about the other party's sadness, or both.
"Fifth brother." She called softly, "I've already asked, Judge Tian Tong's reputation is not bad, he is a righteous gentleman, and he should be a good official." ”
Gu Yanzhang nodded his head and said, "I know, but I still can't let go." ”
On this day, I still got up early and hurried.
Because of the fact that thousands of people sent each other when traveling, everyone was a little unable to lift their spirits, and they only walked with one heart and didn't even say much.
It wasn't until after Tanzhou, Dingzhou, and when they arrived in Xiangzhou that a group of people slowly returned to their normal state in the past.
Ji Qingling was delicate, and soon noticed a subtle change in the attitude of the people below.
The rules of the Gu Mansion have always been very strict, this is what she set when she first started, even if there was only Qiu Yue alone, it was generally rewarded for merit, punished if there was a mistake, rewarded heavily, and punished according to the rules.
Because of this, the servants are always very conscientious.
But today's girls seem to have an indescribable spirit inexplicably when they are unconscious, and even where the rules do not require it, they are also very conscious of self-restraint and set rules for themselves.
One day, she mentioned it to Qiu Yue slightly, but saw that the other party's face turned red, and after a while, she said a little shyly: "If we go out of the house, no matter what, we can't lose face, and we can't let people say that the girl in the Tongju Mansion doesn't know anything?" ”
And I don't know when it started, everyone's title for Gu Yanzhang also changed from "young master" to "official", and then in private, they no longer called Ji Qingling "girl", but called "madam".
Ji Qingling secretly wondered, but he didn't delve into it.
Although she doesn't have much experience after all, she doesn't know that there is something called "sense of honor" in the world, which will be spontaneously maintained.
It is said that Cang Liao is enough to know etiquette, and food and clothing are enough to know honor and disgrace.
The servants of the Gu family have no worries about food and clothing, and almost all of them are literate and hyphenated, so they will naturally care about higher-level things.
Gu Yanzhang's actions in Ganzhou and Ji Qingling's daily actions made the servants hope that they could be "better" from the bottom of their hearts. Outside the city gate, the farewell of the people of Ganzhou has just accelerated the process.
The group walked day and night, and after more than half a month, they finally arrived in Caizhou.
Gu Yanzhang was ordered to enter Beijing, and for tolerance, even with his family and servants, all of them could stay at the official post station.
Caizhou is Shangzhou, built a small official post, this day arrived outside the city, although the sky is not early or late, but because there are two carriages on the way The axles were broken, stopped to repair it, delayed for a while, and then rushed to the next place to rest, but it was too late, Gu Yanzhang decided to rest here for a while.
Rosin took the post ticket and followed the post guard to register, and after a short time, several people came forward to help carry the luggage and arrange the horses.
Gu Yanzhang is an eight-grade court official, although he is not a high-grade court, but he can already count the names, Yi Cheng did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly arranged an upper room for him, and settled the servants below one by one, so he took the lead in leading everyone up.
He said respectfully: "Official, the official will go and arrange dinner for you, and when you clean up, you can come down directly." ”
According to Gu Yanzhang's official products, he can only get one or two catties of mutton and wine, and he followed the post house downstairs, added another money, and asked the post station to prepare the rest of the people's diet.
After the luggage was packed, Ji Qingling changed his clothes, and went downstairs with Gu Yanzhang to prepare for dinner.
The two of them were about to go downstairs when they heard a commotion at the door.
"Fuck off! Lao Tzu has the same official character as him, why can he have an upper room, and I have to squeeze out the lower room?! Where are you born bastard! Don't want the dog to look at people low, Lao Tzu just came down from the front of the formation, and he was angry and wanted to find a place to vent, annoyed, and cut you with a knife! ”
A few steps away from the door, a man dressed as a military academy pulled the post guard in front of him, glared at each other viciously, and scolded.
And not far from him, only a dozen paces away, a person who was also dressed as a military academy was sneering and clasping his hands around his chest, adding fuel to the fire and sneering: "You don't have the ability to reward silver, but you have the ability to play prestige here, kill more barbarians on the battlefield, aren't you higher than me at the moment?" You don't need to live in any room, so I'll give you the house according to the rules...... It's just that some people don't have the ability, forget it, and still have to make noise here......"
The two military academies, each followed by four or five small colonels, and the one dragging the post guard in front of him was of medium stature, but his face was full of fierceness.
The one in the back looks quite tall, and he looks like a human, but when he says it, people can't help frowning when they hear it.
Sure enough, before the tall military academy's words fell, the four or five junior colonels on the opposite side immediately changed their faces, and they didn't need to be assigned, and immediately rushed over with great momentum.
The soldiers on this side were not vegetarians, so they immediately pushed forward with their chests puffed up and shouted, "Come and find a fight, right?" This is not enough to lose, and it is back to the face?! ”
Both sides were scolding each other, and their hands didn't stop, and they really began to roll up their sleeves and fight.
This post station is very close to the official road, in addition to the officials, a lot of foot merchants and passers-by are resting here, now is the time of dinner, the main hall sat seven or eight minutes full, see this scene, someone has begun to quickly pick up a few mouthfuls of food, and hurriedly stuffed vegetables, planning to hurry away.
If you are accidentally injured, whether it is a missing arm or a missing leg, you are afraid that you will cry to the sky, and no one will pay attention to it.
A post guard saw that the situation was not good, and went to find the post man.
When the post came, the two sides had already drawn the stools next to them, and they were about to fight. He hurriedly rushed forward to stop him and said, "Don't be impulsive, you military academies, this is a post station, you can't beat it!" ”
He was kicked to the ground by a soldier.
The guests sitting in the hall didn't even dare to eat, and when they pushed the dishes and chopsticks, they all wanted to grow four legs and run around like a fly.
The soldiers on both sides grabbed a stool, snatched the remaining dishes from the table, and were about to throw them at each other.
Gu Yanzhang stood upstairs, and when he saw that he couldn't clean up this scene, he only turned his head to Ji Qingling and said, "You go back to the room first, and this place will be fine in a while, and I will let someone call you out." ”
Ji Qingling nodded, didn't say much, and hurriedly retreated.
Seeing that she was far away, Gu Yanzhang turned around, and was about to open his mouth to stop, but he heard a person outside the door say angrily: "Who is making trouble?" Got fat?! ”
The two sides are on fire, their eyes are wide, their faces are red, and they can't wait to eat the people opposite, at this moment I am afraid that a thunder will fall from the sky, and everyone will not let them, and where will they pay attention to the people who speak, just be the wind in their ears, and let them go.
The man strode in, rushed into the two groups of people, one in each hand, and forcibly pulled the two leading military academies one in each hand, and then turned his head and scolded the medium-sized military academy: "Are you stupid?!" Forget it if you are swallowed by someone, and you don't remember to eat or not, whether you have an ancestor surnamed Zhou or a grandfather surnamed Chen, if your father's surname is Yang, I don't care! Since it's a hard life, don't compare yourself with others who can eat white rice while lying down, whether you're locked up or killed, I don't care! ”
The military academy was scolded several times and wanted to refute, but he kept his mouth shut, so he had to shout with red eyes, "General! ”
And said: "He robbed your upper room!" ”
The little colonels in the back were also full of tears, all of them were no longer fierce, and they looked like they were waiting for him to call the shots.
The man ignored him, and turned his head to the person on the other side: "General Li Jun saw that the people who were about to be transferred to Beijing officials, what kind of anger did he put with my subordinates who were not successful, is this fighting to suppress people, or do you want fewer people to bully us more?" ”
There is a reason for what he said, there are regulations for the accommodation of the Dajin Post Station, "If there is a high-ranking official, or a public person, let it be a good place." ”
What this means is that as long as the officials who live in the post house, those with low official positions should be given to those with high official positions, and those with few people should be given to those with more people.
The person who came here is a military general, and General Li is also a military general, but the former has been a military general for several years, but the latter only put that official uniform on his body at this age.
And in terms of quantity, the former adds up to a total of seven people, and the latter adds up to a total of individuals, no matter what, it should be the former to let the latter.
And now that the latter has grabbed the house, no matter how you say it, it can't be justified.
When General Li Jun saw this person appear, his face was already a little ugly, and at this time, he was even more pale when he was counted down by his words, and he only "hummed" from his nose, turned around, and left without looking back.
The hall was littered.
Seeing that General Li had gone far, the later general turned his head and scolded the medium-sized military academy with his head and face, saying, "You are brave enough!" Dare to make trouble at the post station, don't you want to live?! If you are participated in by someone, you will be a soldier in your life! ”
The military academy suddenly tilted his head to the side, and said with a stubborn face: "If you don't participate, I will be a soldier in my life!" My ancestors don't have the surname Zhou or Chen, let alone an uncle and uncle surnamed Yang! No matter what kind of merit is made horizontally and vertically, it will not be beneficial, and it will be okay if there is no official promotion, and now I don't even have to take the reward, I love to participate or not, just let them participate, and the capable barbarians are coming, let those fools in the capital who can only write excerpts go to fight by themselves! ”
The general kicked the military academy in front of him to his knees and scolded: "Your wings are really stiff, what are you talking about!" ”
The military academy stiffened his neck and said, "I'm just going to kill those seven or eight, but what about you, the general?" How much work has been done? We didn't get the credit, we didn't get the reward, if we didn't get any benefits, in the end it was reasonable, after all, the DPRK and the CCP didn't give much credit, but if you didn't get the reward and didn't get promoted, the one surnamed Li was promoted, and everyone under the first one had a silver reward, that is, I was not convinced! ”
