marquis of jingan

Chapter 202 The Enthusiastic Zhao Er

After the publication of this mansion newspaper, its influence was great, far surpassing the fifth issue, and even approaching the influence of the first issue and the second issue.

The main reason is that Zhou Jin'an is very hated.

Of course, the more important reason is that although the mansion newspaper clearly stated that Zhou Jinan died suddenly due to unknown reasons, it vaguely hinted that Zhou Jinan died at the hands of those unjust souls in the Jianghuai land. .

Most people in this era believe in the existence of souls, but if it is said that souls can really manifest and kill people, most people may not believe it.

And now Zhou Jin'an was indeed dead.

Then the implication of this news in the mansion newspaper is obvious, implying that Zhou Jin'an was killed by an assassin sent by the imperial court.

This kind of hint is not difficult to guess. Those who are a little bit educated and think they are smart can easily realize the meaning of this aspect from this mansion newspaper, and then these smart people will proudly interpret the hidden meaning they understand. Propagate righteousness to show that you are smart and stand out from the crowd.

Ever since, news of the imperial court's assassination of Zhou Jin'an began to spread among the people.

Zhou Jin'an killed [-] to [-] Chen generals in Lianghuai more than ten years ago, and tens of thousands of civilians died in his hands. Many people in Chen State still have hatred against him, even if there is no hatred or grudge, He also hated this person very much, so after the sixth issue of Mansion News spread, it immediately aroused huge repercussions in Jiankang City.

On the second day after the Di Bao was circulated, some storytellers began to make up stories about Chen Guo's warriors going north to assassinate the Zhou bandits.

However, Shen Yi, the author, is still unaware of the impact of this issue of the mansion newspaper, because he went out for a drink with his family the night before.

After studying intensely for more than four months, Shen Yi was finally able to relax a bit, so he became very drunk very quickly, and after only drinking half a jug of wine, he was so drunk that he passed out. In the end, Xu Fu and Shen Zhang sent him back to the hospital. residence.

Because of physical and mental exhaustion, and the suffering of nearly ten days in the examination room, he basically couldn't sleep well. This time, Shen Yi slept soundly. He slept until the next afternoon before he opened his eyes in a daze. After opening his eyes, getting up and getting dressed, he yawned and pushed open the door.

Looking up at the sun, it's past the end of the day, that is to say, Shen Yi slept for almost ten hours.

Sleeping for a long time is not completely harmless, because of the long sleep at the moment, his head is a little swollen, but fortunately the two little maids saw him get up, and immediately brought him a basin of hot water, and waited for him to wash.

After applying the hot towel to his face, Shen Yi became more energetic, then stretched his waist, smiled at Ping'er in front of him and said, "It's already afternoon, why didn't you wake me up?"

Ping'er stood in front of Shen Yi and said with a smile: "Originally, I wanted to wake up the young master for dinner, but my sister said that the past ten days have been very hard for the young master, and told the young master to sleep more, so I didn't ask the young master to wake up."

Originally maids should call themselves "servants", and they have always called themselves "servants" in the first three months after they arrived at Shen Yi's house, but Shen Yi didn't have this habit, and it sounded awkward. After many corrections, they were allowed to call themselves "I "Self-proclaimed.

Ping'er's gaze has been fixed on Shen Yi's face.She asked in a low voice: "Sir, should you be hungry? Sister Qing'er has already made food in the kitchen, and I'll bring it to you right away."

This is the benefit of having a maid to take care of him, instead of Shen Yi, a bachelor, having to work in the kitchen by himself.

Soon, Qing'er brought up the food, and Shen Yi asked while eating: "Has my father gone back?"

Qing'er nodded and said: "Well, the master went back last night. Our sisters planned to stay in the firewood house for one night, leaving the master to live at home, but the master insisted on not wanting to go back. We couldn't stop him."

"fine…"

Shen Yi shook his head slightly and said: "My father's temperament is like this, he is a little bit stronger, so don't force him."

After chatting with the sisters at home for a while about what happened last night, it was almost evening. Shen Yi went back to the house and changed into a new dress, and then smiled at the two maids: "I finally had a rest last night. I will take you to the Qinhuai River and visit the shop opened by Xiao Xu and the others."

The two maids cheered happily, went back to the house and changed their clothes, followed Shen Yi from left to right and went out.

The place Shen Yi rented was not far from the Qinhuai River, and the three of them soon arrived near the Qinhuai River. After several months of development, the snack shop of Xu Fu and the other five people has also undergone a lot of upgrades. For example, this Of the five people, now only Ding Man is left to set up a stall by the Qinhuai River. In addition to this stall, Xu Fu rented two more storefronts, which can be regarded as expanding the business.

Since there is a store, it is not possible for only one or two people to come. With the two stores together, Xu Fu has already hired five Jiankang locals to work, but Xu Fu is still a little conservative, all about "recipe" and " The five of them came in person, and the hired people were only responsible for buying and serving vegetables, cleaning tables, washing dishes and so on.

Shen Yi brought Qingping's two little maids to Xu Fu's store by the Qinhuai River. After eating something in Xu Fu's store, Shen Yi took the two little maids to wander around the Qinhuai River.

After walking around for a while, a familiar voice stopped Shen Yi on the street by the Qinhuai River.

"Qiro, Qiro!"

Shen Yi heard the voice familiar, so he turned his head and saw Zhao Jizhou, the second son of the Zhao family, calling him behind him.

Seeing Zhao Shilang's face, Shen Yi couldn't ignore him, so he hurried forward, cupped his hands at Zhao Jizhou and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, I actually saw senior brother here."

"What a coincidence?"

Zhao Jizhou squeezed his eyes at Shen Yi, and smiled ambiguously: "It's not dark yet, Qilang is here, it seems that Qilang is also a man of temperament."

After saying this, he looked at the two little girls behind Shen Yi, and scratched his head in confusion: "Qilang, who are you?"

Only then did Shen Yi remember the two little girls, and he quickly explained: "Oh, these are the two maids in my family. They have nothing to do today, let's take them out for a walk."

"On a day like today, what do you bring your servant girl to do?"

Zhao Jizhou said this first, then looked at Qingping and the two, and coughed: "Well, I have some important things to do with your young master, you should go home first."

The two maids looked at Shen Yi at the same time. Shen Yi was a little embarrassed, but he didn't like Zhao Er's face, so he could only nod helplessly: "This is my senior brother. Since senior brother has something to do with me, you should go back first."

Ping'er opened her eyes wide and wanted to speak, but Qing'er on the side bowed her head directly and said, "Young Master, you should go home earlier, our sisters will go back first."

After finishing speaking, she pulled Ping'er's sleeve and left.

After the two little girls left, Zhao Ercai "tsk tsk" said: "Qilang, the two maids you raised are not bad. Although they are immature, they are already quite attractive."

After that, he pulled Shen Yi's sleeve and said with a smile: "However, it's still important to get down to business."

Shen Yi was a little puzzled, and asked: "Brother, you haven't said anything serious yet..."

"Qinhuai River chooses the oiran..."

Shen Yi was stunned: "The township examination just ended yesterday, and the oiran is chosen today, what a coincidence?"

"It is because the township examination ended yesterday that the oiran will be selected today."

Zhao Er turned his head, looked at Shen Yi, and said with a smile: "Without scholars like you, who would praise them?"

He patted his chest and said: "Qilang, don't worry, Brother Wei will take you with you today, and you don't need to spend a penny!"
