It costs a lot of money to read and learn calligraphy, and paper and ink and please Mr. are a lot of expenses, and most people will not waste this money. Not to mention a daughter, even a son is reluctant to let him go to school.

Even if the rich lady has this condition, it is just for the housekeeper to read the account book in the future, and to be able to chant a poem and write a word together or something, reading is simply something that can be encountered but not sought.

But men are like this, and if they are bored at home, they will naturally go out to find confidantes. Those Oirans in Douhu County are all literate women, which makes them look high-style and tasteful, and they have to spend 100 gold just to see each other.

Although Zhuang Rou has not been there for a long time, he has seen it, so he naturally knows the small ways here.

You only need to make up for a year or two to know how to read and write, but if you can sit down and talk with the literati, you have to start learning from a young age and know a lot of books.

There are a few women who have studied for a lot of time in this Tai Shufang, and it is worth a lot, but he can't operate at all, and he can't even get a backstage, so he can't do it anymore.

Zhuang Rou looked at him and asked, "The famous Oiran are all people who can recite poetry and literature, how are your girls?" ”

She was a little worried about the situation of those girls, but thinking that there were still people looking for trouble, she should be okay, and if it was really unsightly, it would be quiet.

Tai Shufang looked at her stunned, a little unsure of what it meant, "Although there are not big fish and meat every day, I can still eat and dress warmly." ”

"Then let's do it first, I'll go to a few of you tomorrow to have a look." Zhuang Rou felt that it was better to go and see for herself, anyway, she was in no hurry, so she dealt with the Xu family's Liu family first.

After she finished speaking, she stood up, looked at the other tables of the running people, smiled and said, "I just met the Song County man, and his old man agrees very much with the benefit of the county, and is willing to stand up for it." is really an elder who treats the people of Hongzhou like a child, and a few of them should remember him. ”

As soon as these words came out, the four people present were stunned, looking at her dumbfounded, they couldn't believe that Song County Man would take care of Fengyue and the gambling house?

It's simply not possible!

Seeing their shocked and incredulous looks, Zhuang Rou pursed her lips and smiled, "I'm really sorry, I forgot to say just now, the share given by your store is used by Lord Zhizhou to do good deeds." Help, such as orphans and widows, homeless women, and the hungry. ”

"In addition, children from poor homes can go to school for free, and a meal is provided at noon. These all require silver, so everyone wants to ask the merchants to help and do this good thing for the benefit of the people and the country. There will also be a merit monument, the name of each family will be recorded on it, in addition to the people to admire, the list will also be sent to the capital to be dedicated to the emperor. ”

"So, you are the first batch, and your names will be written at the top. As soon as you open the merit book, the name will be written down in the front. As for those who are unwilling to contribute to the people, how can they gain good wealth without virtue. ”

Zhuang Rou nodded at them after finishing speaking, patted Chen Mufeng's shoulder, and led him out of the door, leaving only the stunned four people to continue to sit there.

Chen Mufeng followed behind her, and said with some incomprehension: "Sister Zhuang, did the Song County man agree to this?" Involved with Fengyue places is detrimental to reputation. ”

"Nerd." Zhuang Rou glanced back at him, no longer wanting to talk about this question, but asked, "What case did you go to get in?" ”

When Chen Mufeng mentioned this, he immediately threw the Song County man behind, and replied happily: "Sister Zhuang, I found such a case after rummaging through the old cases that accumulated dust for a long time. There was nothing in it except the cause of death, and it was not even known who the deceased was. ”

"As soon as I saw that if this case was solved, it would definitely be a miracle, and I would have chosen it immediately."

Miraculous?

Zhuang Rou looked at him speechlessly, "When you choose it, do other people look at you like a big fool?" ”

Chen Mufeng was stunned, "No, I see that they are shocked and admired, and when I solve the case, ask them to see what is called divine arrest!" ”

"Really? Then you can do your best, I'll wait and see. Zhuang Rou went downstairs speechlessly, this kind of case can be solved before there is a ghost, if he flips down further, he will see more nameless corpse cases, there are a bunch of them in every county office.

Especially in the states and counties with many displaced people, the nameless corpse books that have been written down cannot fit in several large boxes, and it is simply impossible to find out their origins.

It seems that he doesn't need to use other people's hands and feet at all, he can dig a pit and jump into it by himself, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and when the time comes, people will not dare to offend his father, and he will be the one who bears the blame.

Zhuang Rou doesn't have time to worry about his idle business now, anyway, there is still a month to go, and then we will talk about it.

The two returned to the main building, Shi Zang blocked her from the door, and said with a cold face: "Don't go in, when the time comes, you will offend people again, go to the master's place to eat." ”

"Huh?" Zhuang Rou blinked and listened to it, and the sound of the warbler singing and dancing came from the house, and it seemed that there was a lot of fun inside. She nodded and looked at Chen Mufeng, "Go in by yourself and learn the way to be an official." ”

Chen Mufeng replied with a disgusted face: "I'm not going, it's not just drinking and playing with women, don't treat me as a child, if I hadn't had great ambitions, now the children are running all over the ground." I don't want to go to this kind of occasion, it's boring. ”

I didn't expect to underestimate him, as long as this guy doesn't do the right thing, he won't be confused. Zhuang Rou led him to find the master, and here the people from the state government gathered together, but the atmosphere was much more relaxed.

Seeing her coming, everyone greeted her very politely, but their attitude towards Chen Mufeng was better, who let his father take charge of the transfer of officials.

Zhuang Rou didn't mind, squeezed a seat next to the master, and whispered to him. Although she did everything, Chu Xia had to print and distribute the special affairs card, and how to get him to agree had to leave from the master.

After hearing this, the master only felt that this guy was really bold enough, and he would use a chicken feather as an arrow, and if this kind of thing was not done well, it would cause a disturbance among the people, "If there is a trouble, how will you solve it?" ”

"Where will it be, we won't come hard, master, listen to me......" Zhuang Rou smiled and quietly said the plan she had thought of, and the master kept nodding, thinking that this was really a good way.

He stroked his beard and reminded: "I think you might as well take advantage of tonight, when the adults are drunk, let him deal with this matter, otherwise whether he can do it depends on his mood." ”

Zhuang Rou nodded suddenly and stretched out his thumb, sure enough, it was the person next to the county king, and he really knew him well. She picked up the wine glass and toasted to her master.

As soon as the wine was in her mouth, she immediately frowned and grinned, it was not ordinary spicy.

The master immediately laughed, "This is the imperial wine that the adults brought from the capital, and each table was rewarded with a small pot, which is different from the ones you drink on weekdays." ”

"It's really hard to drink, it's too strong." Zhuang Rou put down the wine glass, frowned and said dissatisfiedly, I still think the fruit wine is better.

But...... If you drink this kind of alcohol, you will get even more drunk. When he goes back, he will write the document first, and let him stamp the official seal when he is drunk and unconscious, and it will be foolproof.

"Sister Zhuang, you still have wine in your cup, if you don't drink it, I'll drink it!" Chen Mufeng likes this wine very much, and he can occasionally taste it when he is in the capital, but the quantity is too small to be poured.

He didn't want to give up a drop when he was able to drink in Hongzhou, and he wouldn't forget the last time he drank with a few young generals, they yelled that men should drink the strongest wine, ride the wildest horses, and sleep the most......

"Huh? What's the most splashing? Chen Mufeng couldn't remember a little, thinking that it shouldn't be a big deal, so he didn't think about it anymore, seeing that Zhuang Rou nodded in agreement, he took the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, and shouted, "Refreshing!" ”

After three rounds of drinking, most of the pedestrians on the street returned home, and everyone said goodbye to Chu Xia, who was already drunk and wanted to be supported by Xiao Ran, at the door of the restaurant, and saw him being helped to the sedan chair and carried away, and everyone left politely with each other.

Song Yi didn't drink too much, and not many people dared to force him to drink when he was old and powerful, he watched the state capital brigade leave with an expressionless face, and then got into his own carriage, "Go." ”

When he got home and entered the study, there were already people waiting in the room, "Song Gong is back, how is it?" ”

This person leaned back in the chair leisurely, his squinted eyes were bent like a fox, and his thin lips showed a hint of a smile, it was the person who was on the painting boat with Hua Yulou that day.

The subordinate was taken down by Song Yi as early as when he entered the courtyard, and at this time, there was no idle person in the entire study courtyard, Song Yi shook his head and replied: "Sect Master Luo, that Chu Xia is a little incomprehensible, and he looks like an ordinary gentleman in the capital, but the things he did in Douhu County are too coincidental to say that they are too coincidental." ”

"Keep your eyes on it, and report it as soon as there's anything going on." Luo Yunfan said with a smile, as long as he can settle down, he can be the little governor here. It won't be long before the eldest princess will take people back, after all, in such a poor place, it is not something that a pampered county king like him can bear.

Song Yi was silent for a moment, and after thinking about it, he said: "This little county king has brought people around him, our people can't get close to him, we have to find a way to get close to his people, so that we can master his every move." ”

The people over there replied that although they brought Yahuan and their subordinates over, they did not have a big Yahuan close, and the nearest one was a master and four guards. I've only seen three of the four guards, and they're all people you can't buy. ”

Luo Yunfan said lightly: "Isn't there still a woman?" ”

"Woman? That woman should be arrested! Song Yi stopped talking for a while, the woman didn't feel very good about him, and he was almost out of control by her at that time. If you're not careful, making a mistake when provoked can reveal your identity.

"I have a person here who is very good at women, and it is easy to take her down. When the time comes, we will turn her into our person, and any movement of the king of the county will not escape our eyes. Luo Yunfan hit Zhuang Rou with his idea, "And she is not at ease in the back house, this is an opportunity for us." ”

Song Yi leaned forward, looking deaf, "Sect Master Luo means to use her ......"

Luo Yunfan said lightly: "Shouldn't she be arrested?" Naturally, there was a lot to do, and it was easy to pull her and the king of Nayinde down the ditch. If they are honest, then they can be officials safely, otherwise this corrupt official will not tolerate the people. ”

"Sect Leader is wise, this is how this matter will be done." Song Yi nodded in understanding, this strong dragon doesn't want to overpower the ground snake, even if it is a dragon on the territory of Hongzhou, it has to be coiled! ”
