Chapter 56: Heaven and earth are unkind, and corruption is rampant
Baozhu and Ruizhu are two girls, although they are personal maids, serving her a lot of things.
However, there are some things that are inconvenient even for a close girl.
For example, cleaning intimate clothes and the like, and Qin Keqing also has a few days a month.......
Of course, the hardest and most tiring thing is the guy at the inn.
Running up and down all day long, fetching cold water and preparing hot water, fortunately, the guests are generous.
Qin Yejia did not have Zhuangtun.
It is not enough to rely on the imperial court to issue that little money once every six months.
The total is only a few dozen taels a year, but fortunately there are a few shops in the southern city of Jingshi.
Yes, barely getting by.
The geranium is normal, indicating that the woman's body is normal.
She was in the guest room, washing her clothes with hot water and her sleeves rolled up.
The two jade wrists were as smooth as clotted fat, and they came out of the inner room and gave Jia Cong to study ink, and Qin Zhong was still reciting four books.
A delicate small incense burner at Gaoge, with animal smoke rising up.
On the desk, the rice paper was long shopped, and Jia Cong was engrossed in practicing calligraphy.
Qin Keqing stared at the handsome young man in front of him, his eyes glowing with a little infatuation.
Her dress today is not very gorgeous, and the extravagant nature of the feudal landlord class cannot be seen in the Qin family.
The green silk shawl, the armor cover, and the slender little waist are full of hands.
It is as if the artist carved it out according to the golden ratio, speaking with a warm smile, like a spring breeze.
Foundation soap boots, pleated skirts, silver bracelets, red lips and thin eyebrows, charming and natural.
Some women's softness is required by the environment, and rich daughters are mostly beautiful on the outside and smart on the inside.
Such as Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai.
And some women's softness is revealed from the bones.
The manners in the hall are elegant, and the boudoir is full of enthusiasm and tenderness to the extreme.
Commonly known as sullen!
Qin Keqing and Li Kun are the same kind, and they undoubtedly belong to the latter.
is like Cui Yingying's sullenness at the beginning of "The Legend of the West Chamber":
But it is the people who are in the east of Pujun in the remnant spring, and the door is closed in the Xiao Temple.
The flowers fall and the water flows red, there are thousands of sorrows, and there is no word to complain about the east wind.
Love the sky, love the sea, fantasy love body, love both meet must be promiscitated.
Painting Liang Chun is full of fragrant dust, good at style, and the appearance of the moon.
"Senior brother, do you want to go out today? Although the inn is not far from the Yongding River.
But the embankment is too dangerous, so you have to be careful. ”
Qin Keqing's two jade hands were grinding and grinding boredly on the inkstone.
looked at the collared shirt that Jia Cong was wearing, which she sewed with her own hands.
Fang Xin was a little happy, and she didn't remember when such days began, but she was quite comfortable.
"Well, I agreed with someone to go out at night, the sun is poisonous outside, you better rest."
A warm current floated through Jia Cong's heart, and it stopped in her chest for a few seconds.
I still remember that Qin Keqing used to hold Qin Zhong in his arms, that kid is really .......
Jia Cong shook his head and smiled, put down the brush, and Qin Keqing didn't grind it anymore when he saw this.
Yan Yan looked at a junior brother and a brother.
Qin Zhong was not interested in the embankment or clay at all.
Wuzi studied four books by himself.
He was also pampered and frail, but he has only changed a little recently.
In the afternoon, the slanting sun gently shines through the window and gently sprinkles on the face.
Looking sideways, the second floor of Xifulai can be seen, the corner tower of Xuanwu Gate of Wanping West Gate.
The officers and soldiers standing guard and patrolling are armed with cherry guns, and it is said that the arrow tower is also equipped with cannons.
Qin Keqing sat in the outer room, and the embroidery needle in his hand parted to his hair.
Skillfully thread the needle and thread, and piece together a few pieces of fabric to form a paddy field coat.
Then he ordered Baozhu and Ruizhu to carry a smoker cage in.
The smoke cage is filled with incense and fire, which can not only iron clothes, but also play a role in edifying and removing odors.
Qin Keqing saw Jia Cong flipping through the text for a while, and then ran to write a book.
In the past few days, he has almost always come over like this, and he is often seen throwing away the manuscript paper that he is not satisfied with.
She thought: "When my junior brother goes out, there is no girl around to serve, and there is always something inconsiderate.
How long will these days last....... After returning to Beijing, how will I live in the future.......
In Jia Cong's previous historical trend, paddy field clothes were once popular in the Ming Dynasty, suitable for both men and women.
It not only reflects the comfort of the natural fields, but also the luxury of the satin fabric.
In short, there are many kinds of them, and they are highly sought after by noble men and women.
Qin Keqing made a total of three pieces.
Jia Cong said: "Senior sister, can you give me two?" ”
"Guest officer, how much silver are you going to give?" Qin Keqing covered her lips and smiled, and became stubborn for a while.
Jia Cong blinked, pinched his throat and said, "I said shop, this thing can be a priceless treasure."
Even if it is ten thousand taels of gold, it must be that the Suzhou embroidery in the south of the Yangtze River is nothing more than that. ”
Qin Keqing's beautiful eyes were full of brilliance, and she said with a smile: "Nonsense, how can I compare to Su embroidery as a common thing."
Suzhou embroidery women live deep in the boudoir, do not leave home, and their ten fingers do not touch the spring water.
Those hands are all very well maintained, so that Suzhou embroidery can be famous all over the world.......
I remember that the old lady of Rongguo Mansion has one thing, love is like a treasure and never gives it to others.
Well, this account is owed by the junior brother first. ”
Jia Cong took it and put it on, it fit well, as if it had been tailored in advance.
So he took another one, said goodbye and went out, and said hello to Qin Zhong.
I didn't expect this kid to be enlightened, and he looked like he was concentrating on reading.
Did he really take that "sister change game" seriously?
Strive to get the beauty of the wealthy mansion?
Jia Cong smiled and didn't bother him: women can not only make men secrete hormones......
It is also the driving force for men to move forward, just see how far Qin Zhong can go!
"A modified son is fluorescent Yingxue, and a smart one is Cao Chong's elephant."
Qin Keqing's eyes shone brightly, and he returned to the guest room and said to the two girls.
"What does Miss think? Depending on your appearance, it's okay to marry again. ”
Ruizhu saw through it and said with a smile: "Let us also have a hope." ”
Hearing this, Baozhu came in from outside the partition and interjected, "Grandma...... Oh no, miss, you must not be a concubine.
The concubine must please the heart of the man and the favor of the mistress.
It's really hard to get some splint gas for nothing! Even the minions will suffer! Don't be angry! ”
"The emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry."
Qin Keqing said angrily: "Since you two are looking forward to getting married, wait for a few more years."
I'll return the slave contract, and let you go, won't you? ”
"Miss, this is nonsense, our sisters are all sold, where else can we go when we go out?
If you are sold again, how can you find such a good master?
Miss treats us like sisters, and we also think about Miss Miss's happiness, and we never thought about ......."
Ruizhu's eyes turned red as she spoke, and Baozhu also cried in fright, rubbing her eyes.
Qin Keqing said helplessly: "Okay, okay, it's not difficult for you, but I won't mention these words again in the future."
After being liberated once, will there be a second time?"
........
........
The afterglow of the setting sun spreads across the sky.
Like a galloping horse and like a wild wolf, cotton wool.
Even the moat, the lion of the Lugou Bridge, and the weeping willow of the Yongding River.
Under the light of this sunset, it is also dyed with a halo of golden orange.
The Yongding River is the confluence of the Sanggan River and the Yanghe River, carrying sediment.
Siltation in the buffer zone of the plains causes the riverbed to rise, causing flooding.
Hike a few miles south, outside the tent that has been set up.
Thousands of people serving in the service sat or lay down sickly.
Everyone has yellow muscles, thin muscles, and malnutrition.
Jia Cong stopped and looked down at the embankment, and the river narrowed.
The muddy Yellow River water washes away the sediment and is diverted into three channels before merging.
It is such a theory of harnessing water and attacking sand, and the ancestors have worked hard to succeed in countless practices.
The ancients had several schools of governance, and some of them governed by inaction and conformed to nature.
Some immigrants are hiding from trouble, some are blocked, and some are sparse.
There are even political disagreements that blow each other.......
In the end, it is the people who suffer.
The dam is built on top of the embankment.
Sharing the pressure at all levels to avoid the collapse of the embankment has unfortunately not been implemented here.
Jia Cong found Qin Ye and talked to Shan Ziye and the others.
Liu Hua didn't care about the county order honor guard, and stood on the high slope and glanced at Jia Cong with a sharp heart.
Qin Ye frowned, not understanding what the two of them were selling.
Those river workers and consuls and lijia were at the forefront.
Luo Wen was impressively in the column, and Liu Zhixian ascended to the top and shouted: "Rank the fathers and fellow villagers, God favors you."
The emperor's grace is immense, and the county's river affairs are about to be completed......"
After talking about it freely, the old folks fell asleep.
Liu Hua finally concluded: "Although the waterlogging is peaceful, I will never forget the grace of heaven today."
The county invited the filial son to invite the river god on Saturday to listen to the instructions of the river god. ”
As soon as the words fell
On Saturday, he dressed in paddy field clothes and walked to the wooden platform along the shore on the opposite side of the dirt slope.
Everyone was immediately in high spirits: "This is the great filial son of the Zhou family!" I know this man....... He's a neighbor to me. ”
"Yes, yes, I also heard that he was passed on by the gods ...... spells"
"Silence! Please river gods, you must be pious! ”
After the county man finished speaking, he retreated behind the county commander with interest.
The crowd of thousands suddenly fell silent, believing that there was a river god in this world!
What does Liu Hua want to do?
Luo Wen and several other corrupt river consuls glanced at each other, and their right eyelids jumped straight.
Qin Ye looked at Jia Cong quietly, Jia Cong's eyes looked at his nose, and his nose looked at his heart.
The old monk is in a general position, with a posture that has nothing to do with me.
Like devout Muslims, the people prayed silently, in reverence for the spirits.
All natural disasters, they prefer to believe, are punishments from the gods.
Once the gods ask for something, they will go out of their way.
Scholars who study and become officials, some letters.
Some are dismissive and dismissive...... That's it,
They also know that the people eat this set, like Jia Yucun's judgment.
The gourd monk will help Luan to invite immortals, which is also a feudal superstition.
On an official road in the distance, several carriages were quietly parked on the flat ground beside the road.
Servants and minions busily spread out soft blankets on the green grass.
The sky is blue, the air is fresh, and the breeze is refreshing.
Luo Qicai wears a square scarf, a silk shirt, and a jade pendant around his waist.
Elegantly kneel on the blanket, pick up a glass of wine, and toast to the other side.
Sitting opposite him were two teenagers, their faces as white as jade.
Qi Yu said: "Senior Brother Luo, the one behind Liu County's order is Jia Jingzhi, the public mansion that Senior Brother said?" ”
"Yes, in the coming year's children's test, you will be hostile to each other, and the name of the prodigy.
You are above him....... However, this Jia Cong is very smart, and even the county zun has adopted his strategy of governing the river. ”
Corporal Luo Qicai Lixian poured wine for the two of them.
Another young man named Gu Heng said arrogantly: "I'm in Daxing, you are in Wanping, and Daxing County has no opponent in the test."
Qionglou Yuyu, the height is cold! Senior brother, what are these fools and fools going to do? ”
"Wait and see."
Rokicai is gentle and very good at enjoying it.
The wine and food are eaten one by one, and the people over there are greedy.
Jia Cong in the crowd just glanced at them lightly.
Liu Zhixian said in a low voice: "It's all arranged?" Don't show your feet. ”
"Rest assured."
Jia Cong smiled, and the time they were talking, the wooden platform on the opposite side of the high slope under their feet.
Saturday had already taken out a peachwood sword and chanted a mantra in a godly manner.
Spellcasting, Burning......
His paddy field clothes are the same as those worn by Jia Cong, adding a bit of Taoist charm to his whiteness.
Jia Cong had a good time with him face-to-face, and he received a lot of favor and encouragement from him on Saturday.
As soon as I heard that I could "eliminate harm for the people", I immediately took the lead.
Liuhe's reputation as a filial son also gave the villagers a good impression.
Speaking of which, many people know that he is a fortune teller on the street, and some places are quite effective.
Saturday was afraid that people would think he was young, so he pretended to be old, and the villagers knew that they would not debunk it.
After all, there is not much money for a hexagram, it is all something you and I want.
"The god of the Gyeonggi River, who is in charge of the four seasons is here, who is in charge of you here?"
With the great change in the timbre of Saturday Together, the voice is old, serious and powerful.
His eyes sharply scanned the audience under the high platform, like a sacrosanct and lofty god!
"Oh my God! It's the river god, the river god is possessed! The river god possessed ......."
"Lord River God bless us!"
Thousands of people present knelt on the ground in the dark.
Religious! Worship!
Zhao Lichang's beard shook excitedly! The elders shouted that the sky has eyes!
Liu Hua was suspicious, and Jia Cong gave him a look.
His eyes lit up, and he came down the high slope, and the people moved out of the way.
Liu Huazuo said: "Lord Qiyu River God, Wanping is now in charge of the little old man."
Xi is the parent official of this county, and this year thousands of acres of land in Wanping were flooded.
The people were deeply affected, and the county dared to ask, but someone offended Lord River God?
Lord River God has something to ask for, and this county, as a parent, will inevitably smash the pot and sell iron, at any cost! ”
"Lord Qingtian!" Zhao Li knelt on the ground and shouted excitedly!
Some people were moved to tears and kowtowed.
Jia Cong wanted to laugh when he saw this scene, but it was more heavy!
This is the foolish man and foolish woman in the mouth of the reader!
They can't withstand natural disasters and have to pay harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes!
Servitude without the guarantee of life rations!
But when it comes to such a fake show, they believe it to be true.
All the people wanted was to be fed and clothed.
Such a simple request has become an extravagant hope, facing natural disasters on the one hand, and man-made disasters on the other.
Heaven and earth are unkind, corruption is rampant!
