Fairview Nongmen Xiaofu Girl

Chapter 140: My family has lost my own way of survival

Unknowingly, the days are approaching Xiaonian.

Two days before the new year, Ruoshui went to the study to deliver books, and on the way to pick up the children from the martial arts school and academy.

Starting from tomorrow, the academy will have a holiday, and school will not start until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Since the family bought the carriage, Ruoxuan has been busy with things in the fields every day and has never ridden in the carriage once. Everyone in the family, except Mrs. Lei, has ridden in the carriage. Today, the grandfather and grandson finally got on the carriage.

Mrs. Lei originally didn't want to go to the city, but she had never ridden in the carriage at home. Her son, grandson, and daughter-in-law all asked her to try riding on it. By the way, she went to the city to buy some New Year's goods at the end of the year before she came out.

Starting from the village, we arrived outside the city gate in less than a quarter of an hour.

Today is the market day in the county town and it is the end of the year. There are many people in the city.

Driving a carriage is simply slower than walking!
Especially at this time, people on the street ran in one direction for some unknown reason.

Mrs. Lei raised the curtain of the carriage and looked at the crowd running in one direction, "What happened?"

Weixuan is small and can't see anything when she stands up, but she can hear!So she soon knew what was going on from everyone's words.

Ruoxuan also smelled the faint smell of blood in the air: "It should be someone from General Zhongyong's mansion who will be executed today."

Ruoshui also heard what the people were saying about "treason", "the death penalty" and "the punishment of being cut into pieces with a thousand cuts".

General Zhongyong is a fourth-rank general. The imperial court stipulates that if an official of fourth rank or above commits a crime, the emperor must determine his crime.

Yan Heng sorted out the evidence and sent it back to Beijing to ask the emperor for instructions. This time and again, it was delayed until the emperor's order was sent to Shaxi County.

Therefore, General Zhongyong and others did not execute the execution until now.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lei immediately said: "Fourth brother, hurry up, let's go and have a look too!"

She wanted to see how these heartless people died, and she could tell the old man properly after a hundred years.

Weowu Shui also wanted to take a look, but there were too many people and he couldn't move forward at all. Besides, Xuan Bao was so young and the scene was so bloody. It was not suitable to take her. What if she was frightened?
He said to Granny Lei: "There are too many people and the carriage can't move. Mother, how about I take Xuan Bao to find a place to stop the carriage and you go and have a look."

Only then did Granny Lei remember that Xuan Bao was still on the carriage, and Xuan Bao couldn't go see her, lest she go back and have nightmares.

"Then I'll go take a look. There are too many people. Don't go. You go and deliver the books. Business is important. I'll wait at Aunt Xuanbao's grocery store later."

"Okay! Then Xuan Bao and I will go to the study room to deliver books."

Ruoxuan is a baby with her own ideas. She stood up and wanted to get off the carriage: "I'll go and have a look with grandma too!"

"no!"

"No!"

The two of them refused in unison.

Ruoxuan blinked and looked at her father: "Dad, I want to see it too!"

Ruoshui couldn't bear to refuse, thinking of Mrs. Liu, and quickly looked up at the sky: "Ah! Xuan Bao, look at how beautiful the clouds in the sky are! Does that white cloud look like a rabbit? Does that one look like a goat?" "

Ruoxuan looked up.

Mrs. Lei quickly took the opportunity to run away.

Are you kidding me?
The executioner was Prince Yan. I heard that Prince Yan was very cruel in dealing with traitors. He would cut off people's flesh piece by piece from feet to head in front of everyone and feed it to the wolves. The remaining bones would also be eaten. Crush them all and feed them to the wolves.

Let the man watch his own flesh being cut off bit by bit and fed to the wolves.

How could Xuan Bao watch such a cruel picture!
"Nothing like them at all!" How annoying it would be if the white clouds in the sky looked like rabbits and goats!Ruoxuan looked back.Due to the huge crowds on the street, Mrs. Lei had disappeared into the crowd.

Ruoshui breathed a sigh of relief and coaxed: "Xuan Bao wants to see it. I'll take you to see it next time! Let's go and deliver the books first."

Ruoxuan rolled her eyes like Yan Huan. Will this happen again?
Don't think she doesn't know her father lied to her!
Ruoshui quickly drove the carriage towards the study.

The direction of the study happened to be on another street, so he had to follow the flow of people. After walking slowly for a while, he turned into another street and finally there were not so many people there.

The father and daughter came to the study.

The shopkeeper of the study was very happy to see Xuan Bao: "Hey, Xuan Bao is here today too. I haven't seen him for a long time!"

Ruoxuan smiled and said hello: "Long time no see, uncle shopkeeper."

Ruoshui brought the book in and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, this is the book for this time."

The shopkeeper smiled and accepted it, then paid the money and said with an apologetic look: "From today on, we will no longer accept books in our study."

Ruoshui nodded: "Is the study closed so early for the New Year?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across the shopkeeper's face: "No, our boss hired many people to copy books and no longer accepts books copied by scholars."

Ruoshui didn't think much about it, but it was a pity. Since Xuan Bao invented movable type printing, his family had made a lot of money by printing books.

In the future, if the study does not accept the fees, a large amount of income will be lost.

However, it doesn't matter. He can ask other study halls. He can't refuse all study halls, right?
Ruoshui smiled and said: "That's it! It doesn't matter. Let me know if you need it in the future."

The shopkeeper's eyes dodge, and Xiuxuan can tell at a glance that the shopkeeper is lying!

She quietly used a mind-reading technique.

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Okay, if my master needs to collect books in the future, I will notify you as soon as possible."

There is no future. I don’t know where I can get a set of movable type printing. From now on, the study can print books by itself.

That set of movable type printing is very easy to use. It can print hundreds of books a day. It can be used by as many people as possible, so there is no need to collect books from outside!

Ruoxuan: It turns out that movable type printing has been spread!
Is she ruining her own job?
But it doesn't matter. In the future, the books they print can be sold in their own study room.

Since the study would no longer collect books, Ruoshui took the money and said goodbye to the shopkeeper before pulling Ruoxuan away.

Ruoshui said to Ruoxuan, "Xuanbao, let's go check out other study rooms."

These days, my brothers have been working day and night to print a lot of books. There are still hundreds of books piled up at home. I have to find a study to collect them!
As a result, Ruoshui took Ruoxuan to many study halls, and those study halls all said they would no longer accept books.

Ruoshui said in surprise: "It's strange, why don't all the study halls accept books?"

Xuan Bao: "It's our movable type printing method that has spread!"

The court knew about it, and she took the reward. Ruoxuan thought it was normal for the news to spread.

Ruoshui thought so when he heard it.

"I see, it seems that the books at home can only be sold in the academy."

It’s a pity that I can no longer make money by copying books! (End of chapter)
