The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 672 Undercurrent
"Half a catty of broken rice, you get four coins; a catty of miscellaneous noodles, you get eleven coins; The poles are all tall!"

The skinny young man was standing behind the stall, his mouth was full of Beijing film, his hands were also tight, and he weighed the three items separately after a dazzled operation.

Then he looked up at the buyer in front of the stall: "What do you use to dress it up? It's not easy to mix it up."

"me……"

The buyer scratched his head naively, first touched his sleeves and then rummaged through his pockets, and immediately showed a look of embarrassment.

"Got~"

The peddler at the stall wiped his forehead with a towel, and said with a bitter face: "Take it as bad luck for me, and fold a few more pieces of paper for you - next time you want to buy rice, flour, grain and oil, don't forget to visit our shop again." .”

"That's for sure, that's for sure!"

The buyer looked happy, watching the peddler wrap the rice and noodles separately in straw paper, hurriedly took out a plain purse from his arms, and counted out 25 Wen.

Seeing that it was about to be handed to the peddler, his face suddenly changed, he retracted his outstretched hand, and said suspiciously: "Wait, why do I think something is wrong?"

"What's wrong?"

The peddler saw that he was going to repent suddenly when the matter came to an end, and the smile on his face disappeared immediately. He fiddled with the paper bag at hand and said: "You are taking advantage of me, what can be wrong?!"

"Anyway, something is wrong!"

The buyer couldn't tell what was wrong, and the two of them quarreled for a while.

After a few words, the buyer suddenly turned to the side and said, "I don't know what's wrong, but His Highness will definitely figure it out. I want His Highness to make decisions for me!"

The peddler looked flustered, but he straightened his neck and said, "Your Highness is the most wise and intelligent, and I just happened to ask His Highness to help you seek justice!"

As they spoke, the two bowed down to the stage at the same time: "Your Highness, please uphold justice for us!"

But it turns out that this place is not a market place, but a study room specially for the prince to teach. The peddlers and buyers who have disputes are naturally all pretended by eunuchs.

Prince Yao was watching with relish in the audience, how could he think that he would become a character in the play in a blink of an eye?
He couldn't help being a little dazed for a while, until the 'buyer' and 'vendor' on the stage respectfully asked His Highness to call the shots again, and then he jumped up excitedly, took a few steps on the stage with his short legs, and suddenly remembered Classroom rules, so he hurriedly turned around and bowed to Jiao Shun: "Please show me, teacher."

"Haha, this is what Chen said about the interactive drama."

Jiao Shun smiled heartily, and made a gesture of please feel free: "At the same time, this is also a school examination. Whether you can pass the examinations depends on whether your highness has mastered what you have learned every day."

Encountering the assessment that is either an endorsement or an answer to written questions, the little guy might have wrinkled his face into a ball, but once the assessment is replaced by a sitcom interaction, Prince Yao is eager to try.

Seeing Jiao Shun's approval, he stepped onto the stage again with his short legs, looked through the goods on the stall curiously, and then asked the buyer like a grown-up with his hands behind his back: "What do you think is wrong? "

"Slave... The villain can't explain clearly, so I don't think it should be sold so expensive!"

After hearing this, Prince Yao pondered thoughtfully, and after a while, he suddenly raised his voice to order someone to fetch his calculation chips, and then squatted on the ground regardless of his image.

He counted the chips while counting his fingers, and it took a lot of effort to finally figure out that the total of the goods should be 23 Wen, not 25, let alone 26.

So he immediately jumped up excitedly, announced his answer on the spot, and exposed the scam.

The peddler trembled from being 'scared', while the buyer kowtowed repeatedly, shouting, 'Your Highness is wise and mighty, and solves cases like a god'.

Even though he knew it was acting, the little guy still blushed excitedly—no matter how noble his status was, how could a six or seven-year-old kid refuse the temptation to be a master of the blue sky with his own ability?
At this moment, Li Zhong, the accompanying eunuch who had been following him all this time, suddenly reminded him: "Your Highness, this person is so despicable and cunning, and he may have hidden other illegal activities. Since you have already intervened in this matter, why don't you just investigate to the end?"

Following his words, the curtain in a corner of the classroom slowly fell, and a new set appeared in the eyes of everyone. Looking at the details, it seemed to be the peddler's home.

In the following plot, it is natural that Prince Yao went deep into the thief's den to see clearly, and solved a series of conspiracies with his ability.

It includes various events such as observing words and demeanor, checking accounts, interrogating confessions, etc. Although they are all greatly weakened versions of the difficulty, they are enough to test the overall quality of the little guy.

After about an hour, this live-action interactive game finally came to an end.

After obtaining a lot of criminal evidence, and according to Li Zhong's prompt, "transferred the peddler to the Kaifeng government for trial", the little guy came to Jiao Shun for a return with unfulfilled satisfaction.

"That's right, His Highness has passed the test this time."

As Jiao Shun said, he took out his pocket watch and took a look, then shook his head slightly and said, "I originally prepared something interesting, and I wanted to invite His Highness to enjoy it after clearing the customs, but unfortunately there is not enough time, so I can only save it for next time. "

"What is it? Come and take a look!"

Prince Yao's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously wanted to step forward to pull him. After all, whatever Master Jiao said was interesting, it was really interesting.

Jiao Shun smiled and didn't answer, just showed him the pocket watch.

The little guy was discouraged all of a sudden, and muttered sullenly: "If I knew it earlier, Gu Fang would have investigated the case faster."

"Haha~"

Jiao Shun laughed, reached out and patted his head and said: "Your Highness mainly spent too much time on arithmetic, if you can make some progress in this, next time you encounter similar problems, you will be able to solve them easily. "

After hearing this, Prince Yao rolled his eyes, grasped Jiao Shun's wrist, and asked expectantly, "Is the teacher going to teach me arithmetic in person?!"

He now addresses other lecturers in the format of Master X, but Jiao Shun changed his address here, which shows the difference between closeness and closeness in his heart.

"This……"

Jiao Shun really wanted to urge him to learn mathematics well. After all, mathematics is the foundation of engineering, but if he wanted to teach Prince Yao himself, Jiao would be indifferent.

Not just mathematics, but Jiao Shun didn't plan to intervene in other boring courses that required perseverance - after all, the emperor asked him to teach Prince Yao, mainly to cultivate his son's interest in engineering, and then to brush up the favorability of the monarch and his ministers.

Anyway, Confucian scholars already have a doctorate in mathematics, so let them teach these things that embarrass children's nature.

In this way, after rejecting Prince Yao on the grounds that each had a division of labor, Jiao Shun was summoned by the emperor again as expected.

He was about to transfer to Qianqing Palace to meet him, when the accompanying eunuch Li Zhong suddenly came up and reminded in a low voice: "Lord Jiao, your past lecture records were borrowed by other attendants to transcribe a few days ago."

Borrowed to transcribe?
Jiao Shun frowned slightly, but soon relaxed again.

No matter what the purpose is, you don't have to worry about other attendants pirating your own ideas—after all, those who can serve as lecturers for the prince are basically famous Confucian scholars, and you can't afford to lose this person easily.

As for finding fault with it and criticizing myself...

The emperor had to ask questions in almost every class, so how could he listen to the one-sided words of those Confucian scholars?
To be honest, Jiao Shun wished that they would study it in depth. If they really wanted to study it, it might be of some help to the promotion of engineering.

So thanking Li Zhong for his reminder, Jiao turned to Qianqing Palace by the way.

Seeing that they were not far away from Qianqing Palace, suddenly a team came towards them, the leader was none other than Prince Yao's birth mother Wu Guifei.

Jiao Shun hastily bowed and retreated to the side.

But Concubine Wu Gui was obviously coming towards him, she stopped two feet away without haste, her eyes wandered in silence for a while, and then said: "Lord Jiao..."

For some reason, her voice was very sharp and jerky, let alone Jiao Shun on the other side, even she herself was startled, she quickly covered her throat and cleared her throat, and said again: "Lord Jiao, I don't know Brother Yao How has your son been doing lately?"

It stands to reason that it is normal for a mother to ask the teacher to inquire about her son's study situation.

But Jiao Shun could hear the obvious panic, he couldn't help secretly heightening his vigilance, only thinking that Concubine Wu was dissatisfied with him getting close to Prince Yao, and wanted to pick a bone from the egg.

After all, there is precedent for this.

So he was 12 very careful, and described the lectures that he painstakingly planned, entertaining, and entertaining, omitting the complicated and simplistic.

Surprisingly, Concubine Wu Gui didn't say a word during the whole process, instead she seemed a little absent-minded, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Until the time when the two parties parted, Jiao Shun was still puzzled by Monk Zhang Er.

This is nothing but strange, how could outsiders imagine that Wu Guifei listened to the queen's suggestion and came to 'drill' ahead of time?

As for the result of this exercise...

Anyway, when Concubine Wu returned to Zhongcui Palace, she became more and more restless—the picture that appeared in her mind was still a little blurry, but now after this close-range 'practice', Jiao Shun's figure and appearance It reflected perfectly.

Fortunately, she has not yet brought herself into the plot like the queen did.

Not to mention this.

But it was said that Jiao Shun had arrived in Qianqing Palace and discussed today's class first as usual.

However, although the scenario interactive drama was novel, the specific content was specially made for Prince Yao, so Emperor Longyuan only praised the behind-the-scenes thinking, but was not very interested in the actual content.

So the topic quickly transitioned to the government.

Because the emperor insisted on building the Beijing-West Railway, and the iron-clad ship is expected to be mass-produced in the second half of the year, this year's finances are a bit tight-of course, this is also due to the deliberate dismantling of the station by the scholars.

Therefore, the emperor attached great importance to Wang Ziteng's accusation, and eager to make a move, he hoped to cut a knife from those rich Jiangsu and Zhejiang township parties so that they could use it to fill the financial shortfall.

Jiao Shun agreed casually, while sweating for the Rongguo Mansion.

Now that the emperor has such thoughts, he wants to turn around and turn a big event into a small one. I'm afraid it won't be that easy.

But it's not something he should worry about.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Concubine Xiande who was working at the desk, and Jiao Shun was secretly worried about how to communicate with her.

Fortunately, the opportunity presented itself soon.

Emperor Longyuan talked for a while, but he was a little out of spirits, so under Dai Quan's suggestion, he planned to lie down behind the curtain and talk.

While everyone's attention was on Emperor Longyuan, Jiao Shun turned his back to Jia Yuanchun at the right time, and with the help of his toga's sleeves to cover him, he gently threw a small ball of paper over.

When Jiao Shun turned around, he saw that Jia Yuanchun was still working at his desk, his expression and demeanor hadn't changed at all.

If Jiao Shun hadn't observed carefully and made sure that there was no trace of the small ball of paper around the desk, he would almost have thought that he had missed it.

tsk~
No wonder she is the only one in Sannomiya Sixth Court who is qualified to participate in politics, and her acting skills alone are not comparable to others.

Afterwards, Jiao Shun followed up in the curtain, and discussed with Emperor Longyuan how to increase income and reduce expenditure, and then he left without even looking at the virtuous concubine Jia Yuanchun, and walked away.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Jiao Shun's back disappearing outside the palace gate, Jia Yuanchun paused for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

Just like that, he was busy as usual until it was close to dinner time, and after handing in all the main points of the official documents he had summed up, Jia Yuanchun was allowed to return to the Yuyun Garden of Jingren Palace.

After entering the door, she backed away from the left and right, took out the small ball of paper from the interlayer of her belt, unfolded it under the lamp for a closer look, but saw that it was empty, it seemed to be just a piece of white paper that had been balled up.

Jia Yuanchun didn't feel disappointed or surprised at all. First, he put the corner of the paper in front of the lamp and baked it for a while, then ordered someone to fetch a basin of water, dipped it with his finger, and carefully smeared it on the paper.

Sure enough, a few lines of small script soon appeared on the paper after it was soaked in water.

The above content is concise and to the point, it only roughly explains where Lin Ruhai's family property ended up.

Even though Jia Yuanchun's city is so deep, she couldn't help but change color after reading the above - she thought that the Lin family's affairs would fall on Lin Daiyu, but after reading this note, she realized that her natal family was the most involved.

Moreover, the money was impartial, it was used to build the provincial hospital, and it would only be a matter of time before she was implicated.

How can this be good? !
Jia Yuanchun was so panicked that he couldn't sleep all night.

And the one who couldn't sleep at night was Concubine Rong from the Yanxi Palace next door. She was so happy when she confronted Concubine Wu in person before, and she was so worried afterwards.

Especially when she heard that shortly after the incident, Concubine Wu Gui went to Chuxiu Palace, and Concubine Rong became more and more desperate.

Needless to say, Concubine Wu Gui must have sold herself!

Now that the two most powerful women after the new emperor ascended the throne, they have all been offended by him, how can he live in the palace in the future?
Or, try to walk in the way of the Queen Mother?
But the Empress Dowager has always disliked her ostentation, and prefers the Empress and Concubine Xiande, so even if she wants to curry favor with her right now, she may not be able to curry favor with her.

Needless to say, the emperor and the supreme emperor, one disabled and one blind, are both people who regard beauty as nothing.

Is it doomed to have nowhere to go? !
The more Concubine Rong panicked, the more unwilling she became, and this panic and unwillingness continued to ferment under the empress' cold treatment, and finally Concubine Rong lost her mind and began to desperately want to seize a chance...
