A piece of paper

Chapter 196 The Call for Punishment

Without paying attention, January flies by.

Two workshops in the east of Chenji City were closed for a whole month. Even the mulberry paper workshop, which had always produced very good results, was completely covered by a large piece of oil paper, and the only thing that could be heard was "thunder and bang bang" inside.

For a time, rumors were flying all over the Xuancheng Mansion. Some said that Chen Ji had a prodigal who did all kinds of evil in Jing County. He gambled for three days and three nights and lost all the family property. Now his mother can only pay off the debt with funds.

Chen Fu: You might as well give me your household registration number directly, thank you.

Some people say that the Chen family has obtained a papermaking secret book and is now practicing in seclusion. When the time comes, a peerless treasure that will blind everyone's eyes will appear. When the time comes, they will step on Hengji with one foot and beat Bai Bai to death with both fists. Remember, sweep across the peaks and become the bravest shop in Xuancheng Prefecture.

The first half of this story follows the style of martial arts, and the second half follows the style of apotheosis. The style is chaotic. Xian Jin said he would not comment.

Others are very theoretical and practical, saying that the Chen family is planning to sell the ancestral property, half of it will be given to the eldest son, Erlang, to go to the capital to become a disciple, and the other half will be given to the eldest son, Erlang, to marry the daughter of a fourth-rank official in the capital in order to help his father-in-law.

Regarding this rumor, Mrs. Qu said that except for the part about selling the ancestral property that she didn't like, she was extremely satisfied with the other parts. At the same time, she wanted to ask deeply, "Where did the legitimate daughter of a fourth-rank imperial official come from? I will give him some more money and ask him to help." Let me introduce you to one."

The entire month of November was spent surrounded by rumors. During this period, Xianjin accidentally received a message from a very domineering source - it was sent from Taixiong Mansion, Xuancheng Mansion.

Xiong Youyou invites Qiao Baozhu and Xian Jin into the house to appreciate the plum blossoms.

After receiving this post, Mrs. Qu almost cried with joy. She hugged Baozhu for a while and screamed "Heart, Bao'er, darling!" She knew very well that the Chen family was able to get this post mostly because of Qiao Baozhu's. Light.

Mrs. Qu took out 100 taels of silver from her private treasury and gave it to Qiao Baozhu to buy some jewelry. She also specifically told Qiao Baozhu to show her money, "... dress more elegantly! Although it is still the period of filial piety, two years have passed. Even though You can’t wear red and green, but at least wear colors other than brown, gray, and indigo!”

Therefore, when Xian Jin appeared in front of Mrs. Qu in a shit-yellow suit, the little old lady seemed to have seen the mud deep in the forest, with a sense of joyful and fragrant emptiness - in short, a bit earthy. .

The little old lady hesitated, "Your mother never taught you how to dress?"

Should not be!

He Ainiang has a slender waist and wears a dark floral silver skirt that makes Sun, the wife of the bride, look like a refugee!
Xian Jin lowered his head and glanced at the cuffs doubtfully, "I think it's quite bright."

Later, when I come back from Xiong Mansion, I don't need to change my clothes when I go uphill to cross the grass. I just roll up my sleeves and blend in with the hay all over the mountains and fields. It saves time.

Mrs. Qu pursed her lips and glanced more. She could only focus on checking Qiao Baozhu. She looked at the light crimson skirt Qiao Baozhu was wearing and the pink gold jewelry that matched well with her head, face and ears. She nodded with satisfaction: "This is the best way." Right, one look at this shows that the Chen family has never treated the girl of the Qiao family badly. Even if their mentor is guilty, the Chen family is trying their best to take care of their mentor's young daughter.

and many more.

The legitimate daughter of a fourth-rank imperial official?
If Erlang marries a girl from the Qiao family.
Mrs. Qu glanced at Qiao Baozhu again. The little girl was fair and stocky, but her eyes showed no intelligence. It was said that her brain was not bright and her tongue was not good at speaking.

If her father was still alive, it would be a good match for the Chen family that no one could ask for. Now that the Qiao family has fallen, this girl can have a good reputation by raising her, but if she really marries her, it will be a waste. Erlang's face.

"Go." Mrs. Qu looked away, avoiding the yellow shit in her eyes, "Show your gold and take care of the orbs. Play with the orbs more happily."

As soon as they got on the mule cart, Baozhu Huahua leaned against Xianjin and pouted, "Sister, I want to have fun too! You've been working hard for a month! Baozhu is so big, why do you need any more care?"

Xianjin rubbed Huahua's little head, "When she speaks, it goes in through your left ear and out through your right ear. There's no need to dig deeper." Huahua mumbled and nodded.

Xianjin looked at Baozhu with soft eyes.

Xian Jin and Baozhu arrived very early. Xiong Youyou met Xian Jin at the door. As soon as he saw Xian Jin, he stood on tiptoe with a happy face and waved to Xian Jin, "Is this the Qiao family's sister?"

Bao Zhu blushed and called out, "Sister Yo."

Xiong Youyou's eyes were smiling like a crescent moon, and she handed over a beautifully decorated brochure, "I've heard about it for a long time. My uncle and your father are in the same year. The examiner is Xu Maoyuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. They are not in the same year, but they are in the same school. , When talking about your father, my uncle always calls him Junior Brother."

Baozhu glanced at Xianjin.

Xian Jin stretched out his hand to take the bag of tips and said with a smile, "Anyone who is in the same department, same year, and same school, would rather give us a pot of sweet tea."

Xiong Youyou nodded with a smile and said in a gentle voice, "Yes, yes, why not?" He led the two of them into the courtyard, took a four-color box to give Baozhu a belly, and whispered to Xianjin when no one was around, ". I first heard that the Chen family had blocked several stores, and my uncle asked me specifically, "Is there something wrong?"

Xianjin held a teacup in his hand.

Xiong Youyou knew that she didn't like to drink hot tea, so she specially prepared herbal tea made from orange peels, rock sugar, hawthorn and dried berries.

"Nothing else, just close the door and make paper." Xian Jin smiled and asked in a low voice, "Is there any news about Chief Qiao Shan?"

Xiong Youyou shook her head, "I didn't hear what uncle said." After a while, he added, "It was my idea to invite you, but it was my uncle's choice to invite Miss Qiao - I secretly thought that the Qiao family's matter will probably be clear soon."

Xian Jin guessed this.

If there is still no clue about the Qiao family's affairs, even if Magistrate Xiong is a thoughtful person, even if he pities the Qiao family for the disaster, he will not take the initiative to post a message to Baozhu - for a whole year before this, Xuancheng Prefecture did not intervene. The current situation of a sentence orb.

"What about your marriage?" Xian Jin lowered his voice, "Didn't you say that most girls would only invite a girl they like to come to your house to drink tea and chat when they are getting married? Is this the purpose of today's plum appreciation banquet? "

Xiong Youyou had a smile on her face and a generous demeanor, "It's decided, it was decided last month by the Cui family."

"Didn't Magistrate Xiong say that he would only marry a daughter if Mr. Cui was the magistrate?" Xianjin was surprised, but he didn't hear the cheap dad who wrote home letters every month talk about this!

Xiong Youyou's expression did not change, she smiled and added some tea to Xian Jin, "The appointment and dismissal order also came down last month. Mr. Cui got his wish and finally entered the rank of seventh-rank official."

Xian Jin said "Oh".

Xiong Youyou said again, "Speaking of this matter, there are quite a lot of twists and turns. In the middle of spring this year, my uncle had already received the appointment letter of the new Jingxian County Magistrate. He was just waiting for the person to be in place. But he waited and waited. He didn't arrive. He waited. A document documenting the revocation of the appointment was issued, and then a new appointment and dismissal edict from Mr. Cui was issued."

"What a coincidence. Together with Master Cui's appointment edict, there was also an exile and punishment edict from the Anyang Prefecture magistrate next door."

There is one more update, everyone goes to bed first.
