Chapter 44
It turned out that Teacher Qin was old and weak, and came back one step earlier, leaving only the craftsmen as a guide. All methods are unified, and the Construction and Repair Department specializes in civil and brick construction. If these people use them, they will make full use of their talents.
I didn't expect that Qin Ye had just returned, and Wanping's famous matchmaker Li Qima said that she would be a matchmaker.
According to locals, Li Qima is also a matchmaker for the Dianshi Master of the County Government and the Liufang Book Office. She has a great reputation for the matchmaker. I don’t know who can afford her? As soon as Li Qima comes, there are people watching inside and outside the store.
The onlookers were all the elderly, weak, women and children, and the people and the strong went to serve.
Jia Cong and Sun Fu came up and guessed the cause and effect. It was Luo Xiucai from the east of the city. He found out that Qin Keqing was a good person and could remarry, so he sent his family slave to invite matchmaker Li Qima to come and say that he had a marriage.
Logically, Luo Guoqi is also a local tyrant, and there are relatives in the court. The Qin family got married to him, but Yemeni was matched. However, Qin Ye almost got shamed because his daughter was unfortunately married for the first time. That day, the county government was not happy when he first met Luo Xiucai, so he refused to agree.
Li Qima said that Luo Xiucai's original wife had passed away. She married Miss Qin as a wife. She was also talking and laughing at first. When she saw this foreign Mr. Qin's attitude was firm. If she couldn't say anything, she would not only make money, but also her reputation as Li Qima had plummeted? Although she did not dare to offend the official family, Li Qima was also anxious. She shook her handkerchief and crossed her hands... No, she was a bucket waist and crossed her fat meat: "I said Mr. Qin, Wanping, family background, character, wealth, and fame, can't find any better than Luo Xiucai... Look at this gift of Na Cai, deer skin, wild geese, and gold, silver and jewelry..."
Luo Xiucai was indeed a wealthy family. He was married with six rituals, Nacai, Nazhe, Nazhe, Nazhe, and Nazhe, and his appointments were welcomed. To show off his wealth, Nazhe's bride price could not wait to become Nazhe's bride price. This was not a rude. There were many people at that time who got married by looking at family wealth. Lupi was called Lipi in ancient times, and this was how the couple had a deep love.
Qin Keqing eavesdropped in her room, and Qin Zhong was there. Jia Cong came in and looked at his senior sister quietly for a few seconds. But seeing that Senior Sister Qin blinked at him with a gentle look, without the shame of her young daughter in the boudoir, Jia Cong said with a funny look: "Have you ever thought about remarrying?"
The reason why she came out with her father was to avoid being irresponsible to the neighbors. In fact, her separation was in line with the legal procedures and would not bear too much pressure. Even if she was a celebrity in the Jia family, some people would inevitably say this and that, but once she left, she could not hear anything and was at ease. On the night of her release, she cried with joy, but she had never told anyone, and she couldn't say it. Looking back at the door, Qin Keqing shook her head.
Next door, Li Qima said rudely: "Besides, the lady of the Gui family has married once, so others may not have to..."
This was so ugly. Qin Keqing snorted and turned around and stopped listening. Qin Ye was so angry that he trembled all over, his beard shook, and he said angrily: "Qin Tong, give this shrew out!"
Qin Tong was killed and drove Li Qima away. Li Qima was very resentful and asked someone to carry the gift. He went downstairs and spitted around and said, his handkerchief swaying constantly, and the audience outside the room was talking.
"This old lady is so arrogant. She should have a matchmaker who can't say anything."
"Oh... it's gone, there's no fun to watch. Go home and take a look. The yamen master is going to charge taxes again... There are so many tax items this year..."
"Master Qin, think about it again. After passing this village, this shop will be gone!" Li Qima was still unwilling to accept it. Luo Xiucai's rewards must be rich, and his reputation cannot be ruined. She actually stood on the street and shouted, and everyone knew it.
Upstairs, Jia Cong asked: "Senior Sister, what kind of water is that? Jingqing, do you still have firecrackers you bought?"
Qin Zhong went back to his room to get it: "There are two strings left."
Qin Keqing pursed her cherry lips slightly: "Oh, that's foot washing water, it's almost pouring."
Jia Cong said it was of great use, so he took two strings of firecrackers, lit them, and threw them down, and suddenly it made Li Qima's whole body smoke.
Li Qima was furious, put her hands on the bucket waist, and spitted her saliva, cursing: "Who is it? The bitch raised by the bastard! Uneducated! You come out? Don't dare to come out? You turtle from Yongding River, come out! You are a turtle who poured yellow soup, a dead body, a lower-class person, a turtle man, a green-headed turtle..."
This shrew cursing was so wonderful that it made the pedestrians in the shops in the four sides shocked them. As they were cursing, a basin of foot washing water was poured down. Li Qi's mother stayed for a while, cursed for a while, and ran away, Niannian said: "How come this foot washing water smells like?"
The constable who was patrolling in the yamen had known that he was on a business trip in Beijing, so he would not have been fine.
They were too low-key, and the store owner didn't know it yet. Now he knew it. The shopkeeper immediately asked the clerk to present good wine and meat, and he also invited a scholar from the county school to write a banner, "Qin Ye, the doctor of the Ministry of Industry and Construction Department, to come to our store." The advertisement was so blatant.
"This shopkeeper is quite smart." Jia Cong put a piece of bacon in his mouth.
"Eat more." Qin Keqing's beautiful eyes were extremely gentle, and every time the junior brother could make him happy.
"If you run tired, you don't have to go tomorrow. Just concentrate on doing eight-legged essays." Qin Ye ordered that the family of three would start to take Jia Cong as their master's backbone. Jia Cong's body was close to ordinary people's age, and he was calm and clever. Gradually, they did not regard him as a child. Qin Ye was already impressed by his knowledge and wisdom in some aspects, but he just didn't say anything. Qin Zhong even had a good relationship with him, even Senior Sister Keqing, who didn't talk to him a few days ago, felt boring. Seeing that his junior brother was busy, Senior Sister felt very distressed.
"Well, the teacher agrees, it is better to travel thousands of miles than reading thousands of books. Students still want to go and see it, and they will be wary of it." Jia Cong said vaguely and thought to himself: "Luo Jiebian will not give up, and the good impression of Magistrate Fan will increase."
...
Li Qi's mother replied to Luo Wen and said that the matchmaker was not successful. Luo Wen sent her angrily, not giving a penny, and cursed her randomly, which made Li Qi's mother cursed behind her back.
Luo Wen went back to Luo Guoqi. At this time, the county school was over. Luo Guoqi was at the entrance of the Confucius Temple and chatted with the county students while walking. Luo Guoqi raised his arms and shouted indignation: "My junior brothers, the Yongding River in Wanping County is silted, and the elders of Wanping are working day and night. I am really worried. For this reason, my family members also sent to serve and donated silver to the social warehouse. Now, I am willing to visit the Yongding River in person to investigate. The emperor will share the worries of the county government and the elders of fellow villagers. If I don't go at this time, I will wait for when!"
"Senior Brother Daqi is really a role model for us. We are willing to donate generously, donate some money, and contribute to our fellow villagers."
"The great senior brother is a kind and ambition!" The junior brothers from the county school praised and admired Luo Guoqi very much, and some were afraid of his power and flattered him.
"Thank you! Thank you! Luo is so ashamed!" Luo Guoqi was polite and looked ashamed. Then, he put away the folding fan and took out the generous and tragic way of Jing Ke's bid farewell to Prince Dan. The square scarf was floating and walked down the stone steps gracefully.
There were also several of his colleagues and brothers who played the flute and the piano to bid him farewell.
However, after walking a few miles, Luo Guoqi's tragic disappears in an instant. Luo Wen reported that the Qin family refused. He was not angry. He said that Luo Xiucai's family was rich and he didn't have any wives or concubines. The reason was his taste problem. At this age, his nature, he was not very interested in virginity in the boudoir, but he had a special liking for beautiful women and other people's wives. That day, he thought Qin Keqing was a man, but he didn't expect to be a woman and married, which made him even more tasteful... with Cao Cao.
"It's okay, this girl from the Qin family, I, Luo Daqi, will definitely win! Otherwise, I will die if I bleed!" Luo Guoqi said unquestionably, his eyes as if the cold ghost fire was flashing.
...
After all, a few days after leaving home, Jia Cong wrote a letter to report his itinerary and handed it back to the people from the Civil Information Bureau. He paid the silver. That night, Sun Fu and him were relaxing in the street, and saw Kuang Liuhe disguised himself and came out to tell fortunes.
The capital was only a few hours away from Wanping, so that Kuang Liuhe ran outside Xibianmen that day. Jia Cong asked him why he came out again. Kuang Liuhe said that he would cure his mother's illness and study the four books. Twenty taels would not last long.
In the teahouse next to Shuntian Society Warehouse, Jia Cong suddenly had a series of plans... Kuang Liuhe was good at pretending to be a god, and this person was known as filial piety, so it was not difficult to get into his own camp. He said, "Brother Jianda, it is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish. It was my negligence. If Brother Jianda is interested, can he be willing to manage salt affairs for a living?"
"Ah?" Kuang Liuhe was shocked: "Brother Zili, you must not. Although I know that you have an extraordinary background,... salt, iron, porcelain, silk, and tea have always been official. In this way, wouldn't I be going to commit a crime?"
"You don't have to worry about this. I'm using the official salt quotation to ensure that it is legally operated. What I'm worried about is... Are you afraid that doing business will affect your reputation for studying?" Jia Cong said.
"I'm not afraid of this. Isn't there some scholars who do business secretly?" Kuang Liuhe was grateful and surprised. He could get even salt incense. Who is Jia Cong?
"A gentleman is a metaphor for righteousness, while a villain is a metaphor for profit." Jia Cong tapped the table with his fingers: "Brother Jianda, I have a heartless request. I will ask you for help in a few days."
...
The salt merchant in Yangzhou is a million yuan family, and the father of Daiyu Lin Ruhai is the Yangzhou Salt Censor. In the East Tianjin Prefecture of Beijing, China, there is also a large salt field: Changlu Salt Censor, where there is also a salt censor.
