Sheng Changbai came to the side courtyard and found Mr. Zhuang to ask for leave.

Sheng Hong is not good at handling family affairs, but he still understands it outside and is quite capable.

It is not an ordinary person to hire this tutor for Sheng Changbai. Mr. Zhuang is a famous Confucianist.

Moreover, Mr. Zhuang's great Confucianism is not just an empty name, but has special skills. Mr. Zhuang is especially good at teaching students, and he is a famous imperial examination teacher who has won Jinshi among many students.

It was originally a tutor that the Sheng family could not hire, because Sheng Hong had saved Mr. Zhuang's mother in prison.

In order to repay Mr. Zhuang's kindness, he was willing to go to Sheng's family to be a private school teacher.

Heaven and earth are kings, relatives and teachers, and feudal society especially respects teachers. 'Sheng Changbai' likes to study, so he respects this gentleman very much.

Sheng Changbai came here through time travel, and he also felt that this Mr. Zhuang was the guarantee for him to succeed in the imperial examination and enter an official career.

Of course, we must continue to maintain respect. According to the past habits, we came to the side courtyard that Sheng Hong specially cleaned up for Mr. Zhuang, and asked Mr. Zhuang for leave.

Then he waited for Sheng Hong at the door, and followed Sheng Hong to the yamen.

"Bai'er, why don't you stop watching?"

The appearance of the "Giant View" is of course impossible to look good. After arriving at Lianfang, Sheng Hong couldn't bear to look directly at the suspected Gu Tingye's corpse.

"Father, I'll just take a look at Zhonghuai myself."

After Sheng Hong went out, Sheng Changbai asked Wu Zuo to take off the top of the corpse and take a look.

After seeing that although there were several knife wounds and sword wounds on the back of the corpse, but no old wounds from sticks, the situation was confirmed.

For the sake of Gu Tingye's concealment, Sheng Changbai did not confess after confirming it, but secretly felt sorry for this little servant. Following Gu Tingye, this little servant was also unlucky.

Selling one's body as a slave is already miserable enough, but one has to go through this kind of assassination while barely making a living.

He lost his life at such a young age, as a child of one and a half years old.

Before Sheng Hong came down to the office, Sheng Changbai rode his horse and went back to Sheng's house.

Although Gu Tingye has brains, he is still a reckless man in essence.

I may be a little lucky, and have the family of the Houfu to rely on, so it's not a big problem, but this kind of behavior consumes the people around me.

After returning home, Sheng Changbai didn't go to class and went back to his yard.

Prepare to read a few books first, to get used to your talent of photographic memory.

Sheng Changbai felt that the selection of this talent was predetermined by the system.

'Sheng Changbai' was originally talented and had a photographic memory. If he didn't have this ability, it would be too easy for Sheng Changbai to reveal his secrets when he crossed over.

It's hard to say, because after being attacked and falling into the water once, people become stupid and their memory declines.

Find a miscellaneous book to read, the serious Four Books and Five Classics 'Sheng Changbai' has long been memorized, it has already been stored in memory, and the ability of photographic memory cannot be tested at all.

Only this kind of miscellaneous books that Sheng Changbai didn't read at all can test the ability of photographic memory.

The result is still gratifying. After concentrating the mind, it is not difficult to remember these awkward classical Chinese.

Of course, photographic memory is only a short-term memory. If you want to remember it for a long time, it is necessary to look at it from time to time, so as to learn new things by reviewing the past.

"Yao Hao, has anything happened at home these two days?"

Sheng Changbai asked the female envoy who was serving him.

The consequence of being too mature and prudent is to be able to control oneself, to avoid being young, unable to bear the temptation, and indulging in sex. The female envoys selected by Sheng Changbai are all mediocre.

Even the names are derived from animals such as Yanghao, Langhao, and the generation of Hao.

The servants in the yard mainly focus on a complete collection of brushes.

The atmosphere of Hongxiu Tianxiang reading at night is not at all.

"The eldest daughter's in-laws, the eldest son of the Earl of Yongqin, still live in our courtyard. The master and the eldest lady ordered that the servants in the family should keep their own place, and nothing happened."

"Forget it." Sheng Changbai waved his hand: "I shouldn't ask you about this."

Sheng Changbai didn't worry about some things in Sheng Hong's back house, and the people in Sheng Changbai's courtyard naturally didn't care much about the news.

They are all quiet and honest people, they don't go out of the yard very much, and they are not good at inquiring about the back house.

"Young Master, what do you want to know, I can help you find out." Yang Hao replied.

"No need, go and find me a set of exquisite Four Treasures of the Study, and I'll go and see my eldest sister."

Knowing nothing about the situation in his own courtyard, Sheng Changbai was going to find his elder sister.

As a girl, Sheng Hualan could only hang out in the back house, knowing everything about the family.

Hua Lan has already married Ji and is engaged, it's time to follow his old mother and learn how to be a housekeeper.

You can't be ignorant of the family affairs in the back house.

Hualan has already engaged, and now there is only one task - to be married.

A breakdown is to learn to be a housekeeper and embroider your own dowry.

Sheng Changbai has his own small courtyard, Hua Lan is the elder sister, who is older than Sheng Changbai, so of course he already has his own courtyard.

"Big sister, I brought you a set of the Four Treasures of the Study. Don't just be too busy doing needlework, your eyes will burn out. You can take some time to write and relax."

Facing the sensible eldest sister, the 'little adult' Sheng Changbai has always been like this, with a tone of concern and a little lesson.

This person is really perverted. He is different from ordinary people at a young age. Like the old man, he feels that writing is relaxing.

"Brother Baier, why are you here? I was going to see you, but you went out with your father. You were yesterday," Hua Lan said concerned.

Two people, one parent, and both are sensible enough, so naturally they have a good relationship.

Unlike Sheng Rulan, who is domineering and domineering, does not obey discipline, and has a bad relationship with Hualan and Changbai.

In Hualan's yard, they drank a cup of tea and chatted for a while.

Sheng Changbai was insincere, and he also found out from Hualan what happened in the backyard of his family in the past two days.

This incident somewhat violated some of Sheng Changbai's original temperament.

Sheng Changbai was originally a person who didn't care about the inner house.

Sheng Changbai is not qualified to take care of some dirty things between Sheng Hong and his wife and concubines, and he can't take care of them.

In the past few days, three things happened to the homeowner.

The first thing was that Sheng Changfeng almost exported Hualan's hired geese, and almost caused the Sheng family to lose face in the entire Yangzhou city. Sheng Hong punished Sheng Changfeng, but it was not severe.

Under Lin Xishuang and Lin Xiaoniang's fawning and obedient performance, playing pitiful singing and beating, Sheng Hong treated Sheng Changfeng lightly, but fined him thirty boards.

These thirty boards are also superficial punishments, used to fool Wang Ruofu.

Let Sheng Hong's eldest follower, Dong Rong, carry out the punishment. How could Sheng Hong, such a shrewd person, not know that Dong Rong has a family's "craft" of playing board.

It's all in Dong Rong's thought, and the noise is not small, but Sheng Changfeng is actually fine at all.

To be honest, although Sheng Hong relied on Sheng Changbai, he just saw Sheng Changbai's face of being studious, motivated and talented.

Sheng Hong really likes Lin Xiaoniang's two children the most, the third son, Sheng Changfeng, and the fourth son, Sheng Molan.

The second thing is that the old lady of the Sheng family, under Sheng Hong's persuasion, finally agreed to raise a child by her side.

The old lady is deep in the inner house, and she is not the confused mother Jia in the Dream of Red Mansions. Of course, she would not raise a boy among the women in the inner house, so she can only raise a girl.

Hualan is going to get married soon, so of course this candidate can only be chosen among four, five, six or three.

The third thing is that Xiaodie, a maidservant in Wei Xiaoniang's room yesterday, was kicked out of the Sheng family for stealing the family's property.

Of course Xiaodie was wronged, Wei Xiaoniang was the only loyal envoy.

She was almost beaten to death and kicked out of the Sheng family, and she was to blame Sheng Lao Liu for his publicity.

Dare to tell Sheng Hong about Lin's blackness, and the reason for being revenged by Lin's.

A six-year-old girl is smart, but no matter how smart she is, her scheming is always immature.

Sheng Changbai didn't go to school in the afternoon either. He was attacked and killed yesterday, so he deserved a rest.

Back in the courtyard, I thought about my next plan.

Then I took out the precious ancient books, antique calligraphy and paintings in the house, and admired them.

Many things have not been handed down to 1000 years later. Sheng Changbai is more or less a lover of ancient culture.

Seeing these things, it is inevitable that I still feel itchy.

"System, sign in."

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining: two hundred copper coins, and a pack of iodized refined salt."

Another useless sign-in, the system can fool people with salt.

Although the salt in the Great Zhou Dynasty was very expensive, the coarse salt eaten by the common people cost sixty or seventy Wen per catty.

The price of pure snowflake salt eaten by wealthy families has increased tenfold.

But this bag of refined salt is really not of much use to Sheng Changbai, even if it is iodized.

As far as the diet structure of the Sheng family is concerned, those who fly in the sky, those who run on the ground, and those who swim in the sea eat everything. It is impossible for Sheng Changbai to lack any trace elements.

"Changbai, you go out with me today to attend the funeral of the old man of the Bai family."

On the third day after Sheng Changbai came here, Sheng Hong Xiumu didn't go to work, but he had a favor to entertain.

The Bai family is a well-known salt merchant in Yangzhou City, a feudal society, specializing in salt and iron.

A large part of the country's fiscal revenue depends on the salt tax.

If the country wants to increase taxes and increase income, it doesn't need to add any titles, just increase the price of salt.

The price of table salt with low cost is falsely high, and the profit is huge, so salt merchants in feudal society have always been wealthy.

As a big salt merchant, the Bai family was one of the most wealthy households in Yangzhou. Such a big gentry still had the face to let Sheng Hong, the judge, attend the funeral of the owner.

It wasn't just Sheng Hong, anyone with a reputation in the city would go to participate.

These local gentry have a lot of influence in the local area, and the small officials who mainly work in the yamen are not related to these people.

These people are either big bosses in business or big landlords.

In the entire prefecture, there are a large group of people who live by pointing at these gentry.

In the early days of the dynasty, this ratio might be a little lower. By the end of the dynasty, most of the population would live off the gentry and wealthy households.

For officials like Sheng Hong transferred by the court, whether they want to persuade farmers to cultivate mulberry trees, check taxes, build schools, build bridges and pave roads, or provide relief to victims of disasters, they all need money and effort from these people.

Therefore, the local gentry was also a very important class in feudal society.

Sheng Hong brought Sheng Changbai over there, of course, to teach Sheng Changbai by example, so that Sheng Changbai could learn the ways of the world, including getting to know some contacts.

The civil servants of the Great Zhou Dynasty actually had a lot of holidays.

Usually, it takes a bath every ten days. From the superficial meaning, it is clear that people go home to take a bath during the holidays.

Civil servants in Dazhou seem to have three days off a month, but in fact it is far more than that.

There are many kinds of holidays, all kinds of traditional festivals, including the emperor's birthday, the emperor's wife, the emperor's mother's birthday, various religious festivals, in short, you can take a holiday for any reason.

After arriving at the Bai family, after paying homage to the deceased Patriarch of the Bai family.

Sheng Changbai stood aside, waiting for Gu Tingye to perform the 'Return of the Dead'.

"Broken tiles, wake up!"

"Wait!" With a loud shout, he saw Gu Tingye rushing out from some corner.

After a lot of verbal confrontation, Gu Tingye relied on a suicide note from Mr. Bai.

Of course, it was mainly through the power of the son of the Hou family, under the witness of all the officials and gentry elders in Yangzhou, that he took back his grandfather's inheritance.

If it wasn't for the fact that he was born in the Marquis' Mansion, Gu Tingye's desire to inherit his grandfather's inheritance would naturally not be so easy.

According to the default traditional customs of the feudal family, although the old man Bai is dead, there are still so many members of the Bai family. If Gu Tingye wants to inherit the inheritance, he must leave most of it to the Bai family.

Taking people's money, such as killing parents, Gu Tingye has no leeway in doing things.

Having robbed such a large amount of inheritance by virtue of his identity, he also won a large group of enemies.

"You just took back your grandfather's property, so you must be busy with a lot of things, so you don't have to worry about me, it's important to be busy with your own affairs."

After watching Gu Tingye's operation, Sheng Changbai still decided to distance himself from this troublemaker.

After getting into trouble, if you don't deal with it cleanly, no matter how you look at it, this person is not thoughtful.

Gu Tingye took such a large sum of money from the Bai family, and the Bai family sent killers to kill people, and the two sides had already formed a deadly feud.

He only makes troubles, and doesn't know how to understand injustice. With this style of behavior, no matter how he looks at it, Gu Tingye will suffer severely in the future.

After confirming that Gu Tingye was fine, not only the big and small officials in Yangzhou City, including Sheng Hong, finally let go of their worries.

If Gu Tingye, the young master, had an accident in Yangzhou, the incident would obviously spread to Tokyo. After the emperor knew about it, these people would inevitably be reprimanded.

At the end of the year, it is likely to be recorded in the evaluation of the results of the term of office.

With the taint, the court felt that under the management of these few people, if the public security in Yangzhou was poor, it would be impossible to get a high-level evaluation.

Of course, the most important responsibility for Gu Tingye's life safety was Yuan Wenchun and his wife who took Gu Tingye out of Beijing privately.

It was after Gu Tingye was fine that the couple restarted their minds about visiting Yangzhou.

In the next few days, Sheng Changbai has a lot of things to do, and he wants to show his friendship as a landlord and take Yuan Wenchun and his wife, who came here to offer employment, to visit Yangzhou.

Although these two looked down on the Sheng family, and Sheng Changbai didn't want to see the couple, but for the sake of Hualan, Sheng Changbai could only do his best to take the couple to visit the mountains, rivers, rivers, places of interest and historic sites in Yangzhou. .

Although Sheng Changbai is still a half-grown child, Sheng Hong, an elder, cannot be allowed to play with the couple. (end of this chapter)
