The days when I fished in Daming

Chapter 93 Second Brother and Third Brother
One hundred guan of silver is not too much, you can buy a small shop, give the money to my father, and let my father help to buy another shop for me.

The dog that has been raised for several months is barking loudly, as if cheering for Zheng Xiong.

Speaking of which, except for the contact at the beginning, Zheng Xiong didn't pay much attention to him in the days to come, and he was completely taken care of by the maid at home.

Looking at it today, the dog has grown quite big, and it seems to be well taken care of. He looked at his father beside him.

"Father, this is the dog I brought back, is it this big already?"

"Well, you brought it back a few months ago. You were bullied so badly by Zhi'er that you almost killed her. Afterwards, she was carried back by the maid at home, but she didn't keep it at home. Now that she's a little older, she wants to be patient, so she took it back."

Zheng Xiong and Gouzi had four eyes facing each other, no, they were looking at Zheng Xiong with ten eyes.Seemingly familiar, Gouzi sniffed around Zheng Xiong left and right, sniffing again and again, making circles uncertainly.

Zheng Xiong stretched out his hand and patted his head to kill. Gouzi squinted his eyes and enjoyed it. The other dogs were eager to try and rubbed forward one after another.

In Huimin Pharmacy, a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in an official uniform, was sitting quietly in Zheng Xiong's office.

Someone had prepared the tea, and Zheng Xiong, who had just returned from school, glanced at the person in front of him.

"You are the newly transferred deputy leader."

"Xiaguan Yang Yitian, I pay my respects to your lord. Xiaguan has just been appointed by the Ministry of Officials to serve as the deputy director of Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau. This is the official seal."

"Oh, I know."

Zheng Xiong replied, without further words, Yang did not speak for a day, letting time pass by.

"What's the matter, what else?"

"My lord, please show me what I should do and where I should work as an officer."

"There is nothing wrong with Huimin Pharmacy. You should take care of the doctors here. They are all here to go to work to catch fish. You have to worry about it and see if you can improve their self-motivation. You don't need to worry about other things. They are all in charge. I have already arranged it. By the way, you are a senior official."

"The lower officials follow the fifth grade."

"If you are from the fifth rank, you can't squeeze with them. You can see where there are vacant rooms, and you can choose one as your own public room."

"Yes, my lord."

After dealing with Yang Yitian's affairs, Zheng Xiong went back to school to continue teaching.

Two days later, Yang Yitian appeared at the school gate and wandered into the school.

When I came to the door of the classroom, I looked at the blackboard, Zheng Xiong who was lecturing on the stage, and the students sitting under the stage.

Seeing Yang Yitian, Zheng Xiong put down the chalk.

"Next, you review by yourself, and the principal will come to check later."

Then go to the door.

"Why are you here? What's the matter?"

"The lower officials have nothing to do, look around, and disturb the adults, please forgive me."

Stared at Yang Yitian for a while.

"It's fine, you can go for a stroll by yourself."

"My lord, is there anything else that needs to be done by the lower officials. The lower officials really can't sit still and want to find something to do."

This requirement can be satisfied.

"Then you sit down and learn from it first, and it will be useful to you in the future."

Hearing Zheng Xiong's words, Yang Yitian walked to the back row and listened to Zheng Xiong's teaching.

It was uncomfortable to listen to it endlessly, Yang Yitian endured it, listened to the class for a whole day, and left school in a daze.

On the second day, I changed my mind, asked for advice humbly, found the best learners, and started making up lessons.

"This little brother, how to read this letter, and how to read and write these 26 letters, please teach me, little brother."

"No, unless you give me sugar."

"Sugar is fine, just teach me that you can have as much sugar as you want."

The child swallowed his saliva, nodded, and taught seriously, teaching 26 letters in a few days.

"You have learned, where is the sugar?"

"Children don't eat sweets well, and they can't fill their stomachs. These are the biscuits brought by my uncle. I'll give you all of them."

Looking at the biscuits in front of him, the child pursed his mouth and ran to Zheng Xiong to complain.

"Principal, he said to give me sugar, now there are only biscuits, you have to take care of it, principal."

After a period of teaching, Principal Zheng's prestige is quite high, and he handles children's problems without compromise.

"Why are you looking for me? Don't you know how to deal with it? You don't need to ask for instructions for this kind of problem in the future."

Hearing Zheng Xiong's words, the child happily ran to Yang Yitian.

"Will you give me sugar?"

"No, sugar is quite expensive, isn't the sesame seed cake delicious?"

The child pointed to the door.

"I need sugar, if you don't have any, you have to go out and stand."

Hearing the child's words, Yang Yitian smiled.

"So what if you don't have it, I'm not compensating you."

"The principal said, if you don't have it, you have to go out and stand as a punishment."

"I do not believe."

Gloating at Yang Yitian, the child ran up to Zheng Xiong, pointed at Yang Yitian and said.

"Principal, he said there is no sugar, and he said he didn't believe it."

He looked up at Yang Yitian.

"Yang Yitian, go out and stand."

It's unbelievable, I'm a fifth-rank official anyway, even though I'm from the fifth rank, let me stand as a punishment, what a joke.

"My lord, is this true?"

"Well, I heard you right, keep your word, don't break your word, don't lie to children, you have to know that your behavior is to teach children badly."

"Also, since you are studying here, you must understand that there are no officials or officials here, only the principal."

With an aggrieved face, Yang Yitian wanted to throw up his sleeves and leave.

"My lord, I understand, let's go out now."

"wrong."

"Principal, the students understand."

On the road, the brain melon seeds are very easy to use.

The kid at the side picked up the biscuits and ran to the door, gnawing on them with a smirk.

The baby feels bitter, but the baby doesn't say anything.

The boring study lasted more than half a month, and finally worked out the results, teaching all the initials and finals.

Afterwards, I learned to read characters. The doctors are okay, and they all have a certain cultural foundation. Compared with the big dictionary, I learned quickly.

Children's progress is much slower.

Zheng Xiong let all the doctors go, and asked them to take care of all the students who had been left alone for so long, starting from the alphabet.

The liberated doctor changed from a sheep to a wolf, and the dragon slayer became a dragon, and they doubled down on children. The template taught by Zheng Xiong was imitated by these doctors. The school instantly changed from heaven to hell, and the students complained endlessly.

Yang Yitian studied very hard, and Zheng Xiong called him over and asked him to follow the teaching.

"Principal, the students are sorry to obey orders, and please take back the orders from the principal."

"Aren't you very free? There is nothing to excuse this matter of enlightenment."

"The words written by the sages are modest and righteous, and cannot be changed. Now these letters and simplified vernacular characters are used, which is really difficult for students to accept."

"It's hard to accept, what did you learn to do? That's it."

If he wanted to work in the pharmacy, Zheng Xiong had to listen to what he had to say, so he could only go to teach obediently.

"Aboci's Hungry Brother~~"

With a bang, a student who was absent in class was hit on the forehead by a piece of chalk that fell from the sky.

Yang Yitian gradually enjoyed this feeling.

It is not as hard work as the teachers of later generations. With these letters, you can learn them after you learn them. You don’t need to prepare lessons, you don’t need to wake up early and late, you don’t need to correct homework, and you don’t need to worry about students’ grades.

I love to listen, and we are not used to those who desert.

Recognizing characters, forming words, and making sentences, starting from commonly used characters, Zheng Xiong does not need to prepare lessons, according to the big dictionary, write wherever he thinks of, and the children taught now are more acceptable, unlike doctors who have been stereotyped.

On this day, Zheng Xiong returned to his home after completing a day's work.

Two ragged beggars were talking to their father.

Seeing Zheng Xiong approaching, he quickly stood up.

Zheng Qi saw Zheng Xiong coming back, and immediately made a sound.

"Xiong'er, guess who these two are."

Zheng Xiong looked at the two beggars with question marks on his face, not knowing why.

The two beggars heard Xiong'er, guessed who was coming, ran to Zheng Xiong, and said enthusiastically.

"Big brother."

"You are."

"It's us, I'm Zhang San, and he's Wang Erma."

Zheng Xiong was stunned immediately, memories emerged one by one in his mind, pointing at the two in disbelief.

"You are the second brother Zhang San, and you are the third brother Wang Erma."

"Big brother."

"Third brother."

"Big brother."

"Second brother."

The three hugged into a ball, their eyes filled with excitement.

"What are you three doing standing outside, come in and sit down."

Hearing Zheng Qi's words, several people walked into the hall.

"Have you eaten?"

"Uncle just brought some snacks, we ate some to fill our stomachs, we are not very hungry now."

"That's good, let's have a few drinks later."

"Brother, back then you stole wine and poured it down after a glass. Has your drinking capacity increased now?"

Zheng Xiong touched his nose.

"No, can I substitute tea for wine?"

"That won't work, I have to have a drink in the end, just to sleep."

"Okay, today I will give up my life to accompany the gentleman. If I don't pour a glass, then I will have another glass. By the way, didn't you two go your separate ways with your uncle back then? How did you meet together?"

Speaking of this, the expressions of the two darkened, recalling the past, and weeping.

"Brother, the two of us have had a hard time these years."

To make a long story short, the two fled with their fathers, and then separated, begging all the way, and they met together by accident.

After that, the two struggled to make a living together, worked as helpers, and sold coolies. Before they settled down, they returned to the starting point.

Under natural disasters and man-made disasters, inexplicably, all the places where he worked have closed down. After struggling to survive for so many years, he thought that old Zhu Dingding would usher in a good day.

Who knows that the days are getting worse and worse, either being robbed by bandits and losing money, or being made things difficult by villains and unable to save money.

Then the vigorous Hongwu immigration began, and the two were selected into the ranks of immigrants, because they had lived in Yingtian Mansion before, and they were filled nearby.

Hearing that there is Zheng Xiong in charge of Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau, the two of them came to Yingtian Mansion to look for Zheng Xiong as soon as they arrived and settled down a bit.

Just like this, Zheng Xiong's name was reported, saying that it was Zheng Xiong's childhood friend, and because of Zheng Xiong's face, the local authorities gave out guides.

He was robbed on the road, there was no one left, and he was begging all the way. He came to Nanjing City by the road that was not robbed, and found Zheng Xiong's residence from memory.

After listening to the two about their experiences, Zheng Xiong was silent for a long time, they are really two hard-fated children.It's just that here I come, we don't know if our small body can withstand the fate of the two of them.

Anyway, it was once a child, but still has deep feelings.

"Second brother and third brother, since you are here with me, I will leave it to my brother. From now on, I will settle down in Nanjing City, and I promise to make clear arrangements for the two of you. The hard times are over, and then follow us to enjoy life."

"Brother, the two of us just came to see you. If it's embarrassing, forget it. We'll go back. Even though life is a bit tough, we won't starve to death."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Can I watch the two of you suffer? Let's eat first and take a bath later. Let's get together and refresh ourselves. I will take you two to go through the formalities tomorrow. The eldest brother is doing well, so don't worry about me."

"Thank you bro."

"Thank you for what."

After dinner, the three of them who washed themselves with soap chatted for a long time, and then went to sleep. Even if they reached their feet and fell asleep, soap might not be able to wash them clean, so we'll talk about it later.

The next day, the three went to the government office of Yingtian Mansion, and Zheng Xiong went directly to Zheng Yiyan's public house.

"Why do you come to me when you have time, you go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, tell me, what's the matter."

Surprised by Fu Yin's easy-going, the second and third brothers remained silent, and Zheng Xiong spoke up.

"Your Majesty's eyes are as bright as a torch. I really want to ask you for something. I have two brothers who were originally from Yingtian Mansion. Later, they escaped and got lost. Now that they are back in Yingtian Mansion, I have to make arrangements for you, Lord Fu Yin."

Zheng Xiong's reply made Zheng Yiyan's eyes light up.

"It's easy to talk about, but today shouldn't be your day for Xiumu, how did you get here?"

"Uh, um, I forgot about it in a moment of urgency, and I will conduct a review immediately, and I will definitely change it in the future."

"It must be changed. It's easy to talk about your brother's affairs, but I'm short of money here. Shouldn't you express it?"

After thinking about it for a while, it was definitely not asking for a bribe, that was because he had set his sights on the family property of Huimin Pharmacy. The last time he stole his home secretly, this time he started blackmailing blatantly and knocked on the table.

Seeing Zheng Yiyan's blunt words, the second and third brothers thought they were asking for money, and when they were waiting to speak, Zheng Xiong spoke up ahead of time.

"How much does your lord want."

Seeing Zheng Xiong speak, the two couldn't sit still, and spoke hastily.

"Brother, forget it, the two of us will be very satisfied to see the eldest brother, there is no need to spend money for the two of us, we will leave today."

Zheng Xiong didn't answer, and Zheng Yiyan didn't say much.

"Ten thousand consistent."

Hearing Zheng Yiyan's words, the two of them collapsed on the ground. The two knew how much the Zheng family had, and they might not be able to tear down the Zheng family.

"Too much, two thousand strings."

Originally, the lion opened his mouth, and Zheng Yiyan was not in a hurry.

"How much money you have earned in the past few months, I know something about it here, nine thousand, it can't be less."

"Three thousand guan, I still have a lot of things to build here, and I can only squeeze out [-] guan."

"Isn't it built yet, eight thousand guan, just wait and see."

"Tomorrow after tomorrow, there are so many tomorrows, four thousand strings, really gone."

"I take another step back, six thousand guan."

"Five thousand guan, you can achieve success, but you can't fail."

"Five thousand five hundred."

"make a deal."

Zheng Yiyan laughed heartily, it was completely unexpected, and Zheng Xiong also breathed a sigh of relief, anyway, the money is not his own, so it is fine to send some money to Ying Tianfu, the superior unit.

Only the two brothers were left at a loss.

"This Qian Cai official will arrange for someone to send it here immediately."

"Don't worry, let's get things done first. I'll give you a vacation today. You can play with your brother for a day. I'll have someone deliver it after work tomorrow. I can trust you."

"Then thank you, my lord."
