Chapter 420: Are the People in Kyoto Literate?
Wen Mianmian's words were ambiguous, and he only said that he was going to check Cheng Xibo from Zhenguogong, and he didn't mention anything about what to patrol the salt road, and then he sighed long, "My prince has been underestimated when he doesn't walk in the court, and when he sees us, he is a hippie smile, and when he sees Zhenguogong, he is respectful." ”
A few people didn't doubt her words, because what she said was very true and reasonable, but the more Jiang Shu was worried, and she was ready to ask Wen Mianmian again in private.
The topic soon came to the Dongshu Good Item Appraisal Meeting, "You didn't reveal a trace of wind between you and Beijing." ”
Wen Mianmian was a little proud, and said about Wen Chuncheng, "That is, I thought of it temporarily, which shows the importance of this journey, if I don't take this trip, I would never have imagined it." ”
Thinking that the household department had already intervened in this matter, and the concubines didn't continue to say anything, as soon as the conversation changed, they talked about Lin Ruozhang's matter, Wen Mianmian was very helpless, her sisters-in-law were only afraid that they had been suffocated at home in the past few months, and they really wanted to know everything.
In desperation, she explained again, saying that it was a misunderstanding.
The whole party was full of concubines and concubines asking questions in turn, Wen Mianmian answered them one by one, and in the end, Xia Shengge himself laughed first, "Okay, let's not ask, it's like interrogating the sixth brother and sister." ”
A few people were stunned for a moment and laughed, Jiang Shu quipped, "What's the way, we haven't been out for a long time, the door is closed, deaf and blind, how can there be more news from the six brothers and sisters, and it's interesting." ”
He Qian also agreed, "The sixth brother and sister are busy all day long, and we are squatting at home and getting moldy." ”
"Don't talk about the six brothers and sisters, it's just that Yunyang is very busy all day long, and I heard that the dart game is doing good business, and whether it's popsicles or not, I'm so hungry that I can't be cold."
Speaking of this, several people felt an indescribable feeling, it turned out that the sixth brother and his family were busy making money, and now even Yunyang has joined in, as if there is some magic, and they can't get out if they go in.
The few people said lively, the conversation between the brothers was more dignified, they naturally knew more than the few sisters, Hua Jingyun smiled bitterly, "A few brothers know me, they are not interested in the affairs of the court, and they don't know so clearly, that Chengxi Bofu has been entrenched in Jiangnan for many years, and I don't know how many officials have been in contact, Zhenguo Gong is going to investigate him this time, and no one knows what can be found out in the end." ”
Hua Jingsheng frowned slightly, his brother-in-law was an inspector in Jiangnan, he didn't borrow light on weekdays, I hope it won't affect him this time.
The brothers talked for a long time, and continued to stay here to drink at night, and they didn't get together to eat and drink for a few months, and several people were in high spirits, Wen Mianmian said very worriedly, "It's all people who don't drink well, how can you get drunk later?" ”
Xia Shengge stroked his belly, "It's not over for a while, why don't you go back first, one by one with big bellies, I don't worry about going back late." ”
A few people also mean the same, having a child is the importance of the child, a man or something, when he is drunk, he can sleep on the ground for a night, and the sky will not be cold.
Wen Mianmian also nodded, she also wanted to go back to sleep.
Waiting for the concubines to leave, the brothers became more cheerful, holding their wine glasses and shouting loudly: "It's okay for the brothers and sisters to go back first, our brothers haven't been so together for a long time, come on, come on, don't get drunk tonight, drink." ”
He still has beauties in his house, and he wanted to arrange arrangements for his younger brothers, but now that he thinks about it, forget it.
Not to mention the other siblings, he can't resist just one of the six siblings.
After a sip of spicy wine, Hua Jingsheng sighed very emotionally, "We are not as comfortable as the sixth brother, and the sixth brother is so envious of others these days." ”
Hua Jinghui smiled and quipped, "I heard that the sixth brother sleeps until three poles in the sun every day, how can it be a beautiful word, speaking of which, which of us has slept until three poles in the morning?" ”
"It's not dark on a day, it's dark."
Everyone laughed and shook their heads, which was really incomparable.
They are on an errand for their father, they must be diligent and diligent, and the sixth brother is his own boss, and he can do whatever he wants, all by heart.
"It's really enviable."
Hua Jingyun stretched out his hand to fill a few brothers, "It's unreasonable to disrespect the brothers, this time I brought back some local wine from Jiangnan, and the brothers will invite them to drink together next time." ”
"Hahahaha, good, good."
Several people laughed, "The sixth brother's mansion is a treasure. ”
Hua Jingyun didn't go back to the house this night, the drunk brothers hugged each other, said some old cellar-like words, cried for a while and laughed for a while, Xia Shengge was helpless, and sent someone to spread the word to each family, and when the news reached the Annan Palace, Wen Mianmian had already fallen asleep.
With the approach of the Dongshu Good Goods Appraisal Meeting, from the suburbs of Beijing to Kyoto is a lively and prosperous appearance, every day there are large ships with goods coming from afar, countless goods docked here, piled up with warehouses on the wharf, each family is gone, because the city inn is now hard to find.
Faced with the fact that all the wealthy people in the city had come to their homes, and the vacant houses were rented out for a short time, the household department stepped forward and requisitioned the post houses in Kyoto and the palace to receive foreign envoys, so that they could barely accommodate these merchants.
Tea houses and restaurants are all thriving, the street merchants hate to sleep and want to walk two more streets, the shops selling ice are shipping from morning to night, and the rich merchants have to enjoy it no matter where they are. Just when the people of Kyoto were so lively, the new issue of the newspaper announced that the Kyoto Youth Six Arts Contest would be held in Guixiangen three days later, and the Kyoto little prodigies would be selected.
"This newspaper is interesting, how do you participate in the Youth Six Arts Competition?"
As soon as he heard this, he was a foreign businessman, and the waist of the local aborigines suddenly hardened, and he said enthusiastically, "Mr. is from out of town, have you ever seen a newspaper before?" ”
Seeing that some people took the initiative to solve their doubts, these outsiders were also very good-tempered and were not ashamed to ask.
The local natives said in a show-off tone: "This newspaper is amazing, do you know who the big proprietor behind the newspaper is?" ”
The outsiders shook their heads cooperatively, and the natives began their gushing introductions, and the outsiders who listened were stunned.
Afterwards they had a question, "Are all the people in Kyoto literate?" ”
Kyoto, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, students are gathered here, and it is normal for a few more literate people to read.
The local natives were even more proud, and after a long sigh, they said: "From the first issue of the newspaper to the present, there are less than half of the literate people in Kyoto than before, the newspaper is cheap, you can buy one for a penny, the children of poor families take the newspaper and slowly recognize the words on it, and the imperial court has issued a decree, there are many more private schools in the city, and it is convenient for children to go to school to read and write, and it is not expensive." ”
"It's just that the old woman who sells vegetables has read a lot of newspapers and knows a few more words."
"Besides, there are some things written on this that you don't know and can't do it, so why don't you open your eyes and read a few more words for yourself?"
