Chapter 158: Bad News for the Imperial Examination
Ge Pozi's matter can be regarded as starting with greed, and finally lacking heart, and her mouth is a little more free.
When Mei Berry thought of the appearance of no one around her when her grandmother pressed Ge Pozi to the ground and beat her, and finally Ge Pozi's embarrassed appearance, Mei Berry couldn't stop laughing at the thought of it.
The funniest thing is that Mei Berry also found that not only did the temporary famous check-in scene succeed, but the previous famous scene about clearing the reputation was also unknowingly successful.
I have to say that this Ge Pozi is a noble person of plum berries to some extent.
After five days in a row, Wei Meili's teaching was finally over, and when Mei Berry told her about it when she came back, Mei Mei still smiled brighter than Wei Meili.
It's as if after all these days, funny things have fermented and new jokes have occurred.
"Oops, it's okay." I really can't stand to see my daughter's daughter laughing there, Wei Meili still cares about her own family affairs, "No matter them, I'm not at home these days, everything is okay at home?" Done with all the work you have arranged? ”
Once September has passed in Yunzhou, the weather is getting colder and colder day by day.
Obviously, when I went to the town to teach people to make sweaters, I didn't feel anything, but when I came back today and sat on the ox cart, Wei Meili really felt what it meant to be "bleak in the autumn breeze".
"When you're done, Mom, didn't you look at the firewood on the wall in the yard? It's all cut down by my dad these days. There are also sun-dried chestnuts in the yard, just waiting for you to come back! ”
For these things that the father and daughter did, Wei Meili passed after a spot check.
When Wei Meili came back, she didn't come back empty-handed, and she brought back ten catties of wool.
Even if there is a kang in winter, Wei Meili still feels that the quilt is still not good.
Before, when they bought sheep and plum berries, they also thought that they could make sheepskin jackets or quilts after peeling sheepskin in winter.
But at present, the ewes of the family are kept to feed the lambs, and the only thing that can be slaughtered in winter is the ram, and the sheepskin is not enough for their family of three.
So Wei Meili came up with an idea.
She was going to weave a woolen blanket, and when the time came, she would find a linen cloth outside to make a quilt cover to cover it, and it would not be better to cover her body than the quilt made of some mess?
Miao also learned from Wei Meili to replace the repair gold with a part of the wool thread.
Over there these days, in addition to teaching others to knit sweaters, she also knitted vests for Mei You and Mei Sanma to wear inside.
Back at home, except for the quilt, there is only this chestnut left.
Thinking about a summer chestnut, Yunzhou is getting shorter and colder every day after September.
Wei Meili planned to go to the dock to sell fried chestnuts before the river froze.
The weather is getting colder day by day, and there are more ships returning north and south on the pier than in previous days.
The hot and sweet fried chestnuts are bigger than melon seeds, how good is it?
Buy a pack and take the boat home, sit on the boat and eat chestnuts while bragging to people, not to mention how cool!
Wei Meimei's business sold smoothly, she set up a pot and fried it there, and the plum berries were requisitioned by her mother to come directly to the eating and broadcasting scene.
The fried chestnuts didn't take much effort, the fingers rattled and the golden chestnut meat was peeled out of the shiny brown shell, and the unique powdery aroma directly attracted the guests on the dock and some running boat bosses.
In addition, the appearance of plum berries eating chestnuts is also fragrant, and the business of fried chestnuts exploded instantly.
The chestnuts picked in the past ten days, except for the dozens of catties stored in their own space, are almost sold in the remaining three days.
On the last day of October, the Meiberry family sold out the last wave of chestnuts and officially closed the stall.
The family did not rush in and leave, but a group of people went directly into the inn on the edge of the dock.
Recently, a tandoor mutton pot has been introduced in the inn on the edge of this pier, which is quite famous!
No, the family of three decided to eat a pot and go home.
"Yo~Brother Mei~"
As soon as the shopkeeper saw Mei Youqian, his tone was also warm, "What kind of fried chestnuts in your house are really delicious, I heard you say that it was sold on the last day today, and I also asked Xiao Er to buy some more!" ”
"Hey, Shopkeeper Qin, you said you liked it earlier, just talk to me, wait for ......"
After speaking, Mei Youqian turned around and walked out of the inn and soon came in again, taking out some of the chestnuts that their family had kept a little bit to eat at night and handing them to the other party.
Seeing this, Shopkeeper Qin smiled more affectionately, and grabbed Mei Youqian's hand and didn't let go.
"Today, I will ask the back kitchen to put five taels of meat in this tandoor mutton pot!"
"Hey, this is reluctant, the shopkeeper will charge you normally at that time."
The plum berry family can have a relationship with the inn in front of them, not only the chestnut, but also the cashmere sheep.
Mei Youqian and Mei Sanma looked for the whereabouts of the cashmere sheep at home some time ago.
The restaurants in the town are too ruthless in terms of price, and they are not ignorant of cashmere sheep or not, mainly because of the price of cashmere sheep, and the locals in the town can consume very little.
Just find a rich man, people directly want the whole sheep, the kind that doesn't give the wool.
Mei Youqian and they also expect to sell mutton, and keep the sheepskin!
But this inn on the side of the wharf, because there are a lot of guests coming and going from the north to the south, first of all, the guests know the goods, and there are a lot of people who can consume.
Their inn also wants to make a big profit before the frozen river, and they are about to make a gimmick!
Isn't this just a sleepy pillow?
Mei Sanma and Mei Youqian sold him two cashmere sheep, and the inn gave them four whole sheepskins directly from elsewhere.
There are very few cashmere sheep in the local area, and this inn is limited every day, and the mutton in a pot is only three taels at most.
Even so, the business in the inn has been good lately, and people can't keep their mouths shut.
Therefore, the attitude towards Mei Youqian has also changed from "selling water" in the summer to "Brother Mei selling chestnuts" now.
Most of the guests who have recently entered this inn have come for this tandoor mutton pot.
The Meiberry family sat in the corner of the hall, smelling the smell of mutton soup in the air, and looked forward to the mutton soup that had not yet come up.
"Really? All of them are decided? ”
At this moment, Mei Berry, who was waiting for the dish, suddenly caught her attention by talking to a few guests at the next table.
"Yes! All the people involved in the Jiangnan imperial examination fraud case were all decided, including Xuanzhou in the four eastern states and the two new Xie Yuan in Xiangzhou, ......"
Plum Berry could see clearly, and the guest made a motion to wipe his neck.
"Oh good! Is this scholar going to die if he cheats in the imperial examination? ”
Obviously, not only the Plum Berry family heard it, but also many guests around.
"Not only that, but many officials who participated in the imperial examination in Jiangnan this time were also sentenced to be executed, and the better ones are said to have been exiled for 2,000 miles and sent to Qianzhou in the south."
"OMG!"
"The atmosphere over there in Jiangnan ......" The guest who provoked the conversation was returning from doing business in the south, and he couldn't help but shake his head.
"This is probably the largest fraud case in recent years, in which the four eastern states have participated, implicating as many as 2,000 people, of whom more than 100 have been sentenced to beheading, and the rest have all been dismissed. The exile of the exile, the board of the board, that one did not run! ”
Hearing this, not only the Meiberry family, but all the people around them couldn't help but exclaim.
"They are all scholars with a reputation for showing off their talents, so if it's gone, it's gone? Aren't there ...... among these people?"
A young man dressed very sven turned pale, and he didn't dare to say some words, but who could not understand the meaning of his words when he heard those words around him.
But who would dare to say anything about this?
"Isn't this all sentenced......
After someone present whispered, the young man Nasven just now sighed and said, "The expectation of the whole family...... It's all ruined when it's involved in the case! ”
"Alas, it's miserable."
Although no one from the Meiberry family participated in the imperial examination, they couldn't help but sigh.
Mei Berry thought that this loss would happen in the east, if Mei Laosi successfully passed the exam, and then suddenly got involved in this matter during the township exam, her grandmother would not be crazy?

The location of "Jiangnan" in the text should be the eastern location, a bit like the current Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions. The "Jiang" of "Jiangnan" is not the Jinlan River next to the heroine's house, it is the setting, but the "Cangling River" that I haven't written about yet.
The boat going south of the Jinlan River will enter the sea from the mouth of the Jinlan River downstream, and go south along the coast into the eastern Cangling River~
