Chapter 338 Luo Jinshi returns home
Young Master Hai remained silent.
Shi Chuan approached the other party and continued to ask: "There may be all kinds of unsatisfactory in this era, but in this era its various strata are active. Common people can change their destiny through their own efforts and creations.
In this era, officials may not be the second generation, and everyone can become officials through the imperial examination; those who make money may not be the second generation of rich people. As long as they work hard to create inventions, such as Bi Sheng, who invented movable type, they will have the opportunity to fight for their own wealth... And the second generation of officials, such as Wang Yizhi, Zhao Shixia, and the former princes also have to make money to support their families like ordinary people, although they may enjoy many discounts in the process of making money.
This is an era in which individuals have hope, academics can be independent, police cannot arrest people casually, rights have boundaries, poor people have a way out, young people have ideals, and people can scold the government - this is the best era in the past three thousand years, and what are you hiding?”
Mr. Hai hoarsely asked, "What do you need me to do to lift the shackles on me?"
Shiteng smiled, and he asked with a funny look: "Isn't the shackles of time and space that connect us together come from your hands?"
Mr. Hai shook his head: "But its current control is not in my hands...What do you need me to do?"
"I have been thinking: Why, for all dynasties, strong productivity has always been unable to be transformed into combat power, we are always defeated by ignorance and regression, and this era is the richest era, the most productive era, the most productive era, to push this era to the right era, and save my China, probably, the least effort is required. Why don't you walk with me?"
Stopped for a moment, and answered firmly: "This shackle symbolizes the binding force between you and me. If you destroy this shackle, you will probably not be bound by this era. Sorry, no matter what the reason you are for, I don't want to help you. If you can break the shackles alone, I won't stop you, but even if I am the only one left, I will continue to fight."
"Okay" After a long time, Mr. Hai finally spoke: "We have always been a small number of people. I always think... it seems that everyone will eventually be bound by a certain era. The joy of creating a new era has caused many people to fall into different time and space. Now, since you want to play, I will continue to play with you.
But you don't know that when I started training those boys, when I thought of the enemies they were about to face, when I thought of the tide of destruction that I was about to face, I always felt a sense of powerlessness... The messengers of the maritime alliance had already been dispatched. The Northern Song Dynasty combined Jin to destroy Liao, and they themselves destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty. But did they receive a lesson? In the Southern Song Dynasty, they still wanted to unite with Mongolia to destroy Jin, which led to the final destruction.
This is a desperate force of destruction. In the end, half of the world is crawling at the feet of the Mongolian Iron Cavalry. Can the power you and I accumulate now compete with the power of destruction in this half of the world? Can your and my current efforts to save will teach them a lesson? Thinking of this, it always makes people feel depressed and powerless, and I feel that everything in front of me is futile..."
"It's not in vain. From the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, all the Han regimes in China have moved forward slightly every dynasty and every generation. This is the natural law of our civilization, but the tide of destruction has regressed my Chinese civilization to the Stone Age... Oh, the international saying is the "Mongolian Age". So, as long as we stop that destruction, it is progress.
The rest is to let China gradually accumulate positive things in its own progress, abandon ignorance and backwardness. In this era, the level of civilization of the Song people was far above the Western countries. The Song people had already created the era of great navigation in advance. The Song people never avoided their ignorance. The Song people had begun to learn from the West that we were not good at. Being able to maintain this trend is a rescue for the nation."
Mr. Hai showed a hint of sarcasm on his face: "For a time traveler who has transformed into thousands of times, setting such a low goal is too unromantic."
"But it is the most realistic," Shiteng retorted.
Young Master Hai slowly stood up, and as he stood, the broken leg grew like a movie action, growing at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye. When the foot landed on the ground, it had become a complete foot. So, the two feet landed on the ground were wearing shoes and the other barefoot.
But Mr. Hai's blind eyes were already scattered. He raised his face and looked squintingly and said, "I will continue playing with you, but I will not come back to this continent. I will transform into thousands of projects and supervise the projects you need to speed up the construction of various projects. I will appear in different ways for the person in charge of those projects. But my help is limited to this. Don't expect me to stand side by side with you on the battlefield. Moreover, if something is wrong, don't blame me for running away first."
Everything that should be said seemed to have been finished. Shi Chuan followed the etiquette of the Song people and bowed to Mr. Hai. From then on, the two of them never met again.
At this time, Lo Wangjing staggered all the way and finally arrived at home. In the rows of stone houses at the foot of Baihu Mountain, Lo Wangjing saw the broken Jinshi archway erected by the roadside - this archway belonged to him, but after only half of the work was stopped because the project payment could not keep up.
There were several troupe soldiers standing under the archway, stopping a foreigner and saying something. In addition, there was an old woman covered in silk and satin under the archway, who was raising her voice to argue with the troupe company. When Luo Wangjing saw the archway was broken, he was already a little unhappy, but when he saw the archway and argued with his mother, he felt even more dissatisfied - Who is he? Can the mother, the only Jinshi in the village, be bullied by others?
Luo Wangjing shouted at the top of his throat: "Mother, son is back."
The person who was arguing under the archway was alarmed, and Grandma Luo immediately jumped up: "My son is back, my son is back, let's see who dares to stop me."
Scholars pay attention to being a car. Although Luo Wangjing was anxious, he had to walk under the archway step by step. Strangely, when Tuan Lian saw him appear, he did not escape, but instead smiled and bowed to him: "Luo Jinshi, you are finally back."
Luo Wangjing ignored the group training and saluted his mother with a stern face. His manner reminded Luo's mother of her identity. She quickly pulled the wrinkles on her clothes and raised her head to accept her son's greeting. Then, Luo Grandma turned around and greeted: "Second son, come out quickly, your brother is back."
Taking advantage of his mother's greeting brothers, Lo Wangjing asked the group training with a dark face: "Why are you waiting? Why are you quarreling with my mother?"
The group trainer bowed and replied carelessly: "Luo Jinshi, don't blame me. This is the order of the county magistrate and Shi Shi. Your mother took advantage of your absence and collected several households to invest in the land, and then transferred the property to your younger brother, but she didn't make up the difference for the original owner. The original owner went to the county, and it was difficult to make up for the judgment of this matter... the county was not easy to make a judgment, but in short, it was an insult to a gentleman, so the county assigned us to stand at the entrance of the village. Anyone who was investing in the capital came over, would give them some explanations..."
Luo Wangjing's blood suddenly surged on his face, his face flushed. Before he could react, the foreigner shouted immediately: "It turns out that you were assigned by the county. I'd say it earlier. I'd ignore this woman."
The Tuanlian responded in a low voice: "I feel embarrassed if I do this kind of thing... I am in the village. How can the county say it clearly?"
The foreigner hummed twice and turned to Luo Jinshi: "Are you the Jinshi Master? I'm going to find you when you are on the chargeback... The Jinshi Master just returned home, why not come tomorrow?"
Taurang-jingba refused to leave to avoid embarrassment. He responded a few times, pulled his mother, pulled his brother who had just come out to greet him, and hurried back to the house. As soon as he entered the door, he immediately asked: "Mother, I just heard about the matter of charging for recharge. Now that there is a person who recharges, why don't my mother ask around what to do, so as not to be embarrassed."
"Son, you have passed the Jinshi and have a bad temper. Mom is illiterate. Who will I go?" Grandma Luo retorted.
In ancient times, there was no Du Niang, so it was impossible for everyone to have such knowledge. Generally speaking, after the Jinshi passed the imperial examination, someone would come to invest in the recharge, and then enthusiastic people would help explain the rules and procedures. These enthusiastic people would even help the Jinshi complete all the procedures, which made some Jinshi still not know the specific procedures even if they had the recharge under their name.
Of course, the help of these enthusiastic people is also expected to be rewarded... But Luo Wangjing is different. He married Chu Suzhen and offended a large number of people. Grandma Luo is also a tough guy who is not good at buying food. After she seized Chu Suzhen's dowry, she was jointly banned by the Huang family of Haizhou, the Shi family of the official family of Shi family, and the local snake Shi Chuan. Seeing that her reputation in Beijing was also bad, she could not become an official in this life, so how could she repay other people's enthusiasm?
Luo Er's daughter-in-law Chunni came to pay homage to uncle. When she saw this daughter-in-law, Luo Wangjingxin jumped up. She remembered the legendary daughter-in-law Chu Suzhen. She didn't bother to condemn her mother and asked quickly: "Mother, why didn't my wife come out to welcome her?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a low, crisp voice sounded at the door: "Sister, don't you come in and sit?"
Another female voice rang, and the female voice was obviously full of confidence, and her words revealed her confidence: "I won't go in. Your husband will come back today. I have to inform my husband quickly and let him come and visit him."
The door sounded, and Chu Suzhen walked in in plain clothes. Through the half-open door, Lo Wangjing saw the woman standing at the door - Miaotai nun from the Taohua Temple in the past. She is now dressed as a vulgar and still has the hairstyle of a married woman.
Luo Er, Grandma Luo, and Luo Er's daughter-in-law in the door continued to chat as if Chu Suzhen did not exist. Luo's mother did not know her son's loss in the capital. When she saw her son come back, she seemed very excited and kept greetings, not caring about whether her son had obtained an official position.
When the mother and son met, they were moved and talked. Luo Wangjing looked at Chu Suzhen who was standing quietly aside. He really wanted his mother to finish the gossip. He could get together with his former idol and tell him his love and his plans for the future.
After all, he is a wife with a dowry. Chu Suzhen wore a full set of jewelry today. Although she was wearing plain clothes, she still looked pretty. Luo Wangjing had heard some rumors and saw the jewelry that was taken away by Luo's second wife Chunni, and was also inserted into Chu Suzhen's head intact. She felt a little relieved, and finally she could hold back her temper and deal with her mother absent-mindedly.
After a while, two female envoys dressed in the door came in. These were two very strong black female envoys. They greeted Chu Suzhen in a familiar way. Similarly, as if they didn't see the rest of the people present, they walked towards the backyard with two baskets.
The younger brother Luo Er shouted a few words in his ear. Seeing that his brother was not in a state of mind, he shouted again at the top of his voice, and finally woke up his brother: "Brother, someone is asking about the recharge today, but if you are not here, they are not willing to talk to me... Brother, don't say anything else, you have to leave the land of Bai Qi under the throne. Bai Qi always looked down on me in the past, but now he wants to come and recharge. My brother will record his land in my name. I see how Bai Qi will bow when he sees me."
Now, that Bai Qi can still look down on you - Chu Suzhen added this sentence in her stomach. She had no expression on her face and gently flicked her fingers at the two black servants that reappeared. A black servant immediately handed over the teacup and filled the cup with tea with diligently. The other servant picked up the fan, stood beside Chu Suzhen, and began to fan the wind gently.
This rich girl's style made Luo's mother very uncomfortable, but strangely, she did not have an attack on Chu Suzhen and the two black servants who ignored her, but instead turned to her son to complain: "Son, look, the mother-in-law is on top, and when she drinks tea, she doesn't know how to respect her mother-in-law first. Is there such a daughter-in-law? Is it unfilial and unfilial."
Chu Suzhen slowly turned around and made a blessing gift lightly: "Mother-in-law, now I only have one cup left in this set of tea set, and the remaining cups are all in my mother-in-law's place. If my mother-in-law still cares about this cup, it would be cleaner if it is gone. Mother-in-law will take the teapot together."
Luo Wangjing's head buzzed, and his eyes suddenly turned bloody. Although Chu Suzhen's words did not make any obvious accusations, they also told Luo Wangjing: Every time his mother-in-law accepted the tea cup, she would take off the tea cup of tea.
After all, he was a scholar. Luo Wangjing immediately stood up and scolded Chu Suzhen sternly: "Suzhen, how do you speak? People often say that there are three unfilial things: Ayi Qu follows, and he is unfair to his relatives, one is unfilial; the family is poor and the elderly are not a servant, and the second is unfilial; the family is not married and there is no son, and the ancestors are not worshipped, and the third is unfilial.
Why don’t you say it when my mother-in-law deducts your teacup? Ayiqu follows, this is a traitor of his relatives, this is unfilial... Mother, where are the other teacups? Take out quickly and give them to your wife."
When Luo Wangjing first spoke, Luo's mother was full of joy. Unexpectedly, she was stunned after her son said this. Although she was accusing her daughter-in-law of being unfilial, she finally asked her mother to take out a teacup to fulfill her filial piety... Is there such filial piety in the world?
My son is Wenquxing from heaven. The great truth he said seems difficult to refute. Can Wenquxing, God, God's words be refuted?
Luo's mother said unwillingly: "Son, that tea set was a gift from Shi's concubine who was standing by the door just now. When she came to visit, she said that this was a tea set customized by the Shi's secret kiln for the king and the emperor..."
Tamarining's forehead was leaping with blue veins.
He saw that the set of porcelain was rarely traced with gold edges, and the shape was not like the styles that were popular in the Song Dynasty - but the styles were secondly. The porcelain of the Song Dynasty was not new to any design trend, but what was important was that the set of porcelain was indescribable. It was a kind of white as gentle as high-quality white jade.
Luo Wangjing stubbornly said dissatisfiedly: "Mother, this is even worse. We are from the Jinshi family. Why did you let a concubine in the Shi family come to visit me? It's useless to ruin my family's lintel."
Luo's mother was scolded repeatedly. She pointed at Chu Suzhen and retorted red: "I don't blame me, it was received by your wife. Son, you don't know..."
Luo Wangjing stood up and interrupted his mother's words. He bowed politely to Chu Suzhen: "Suzhen, you go down first."
Chu Suzhen said nothing, bent her knees and bowed to her back. Luo's mother complained in the back: "It was obviously your wife's fault, why did you just say that your mother, son, is this also filial piety?"
Luo Wangjing nodded: "Mother, as the saying goes: teach your children in person and teach your wife behind your back. I naturally need to teach you the wife to teach you in front of you, and you can't scold you in front of others. Mother, I just entered Haizhou City and was despised by many people along the way. I am not here. You and me have made a good reputation. Will your son become an official in the future? Do you still want to be an old lady in the officialdom?"
When asked about this, Luo's mother immediately calmed down: "Son, when you come back this time, you don't say you're going to get an official, and ask for a title for your mother... There's no need to hurry. When you come back this time, you'll fool your wife and ask your wife to pay another sum of money. You go to the capital to make some good work..."
Luo Wangjing cut off his mother's words: "Mother, I'm back this time and I plan to take you to the capital. I heard that my brother is going to get married, so I plan to help my brother get married and take my wife and mother to the capital immediately. On the one hand, we are in the capital, and we will be in office at any time. On the other hand, my mother is old and we should always enjoy the blessing of our son."
Luo's mother smiled and was about to praise her son. Luo Er clapped her hands next to her: "Okay, after my brother went to Beijing, the tenants who invested in the recharge will be handed over to me to manage, I will definitely..."
Luo Wangjing cut off his brother's words: "My brother has become a family, and my mother wants to go to Beijing with me. We just happen to take the family as a part, so that my brother can live alone in the future. Brother, if the family is divided, my tenants cannot be handed over to you."
Luo's mother immediately refused: "Son, my brother, why can't you control your property?"
Luo Wangjing rolled his eyes secretly and said patiently: "Mom, the health field of Jinshi must be registered with the school officials, and the county magistrate also needs to be given a red contract. This kind of field is usually taken care of by the elders of the clan. Our family has no relatives, but my younger brother, who is a white-handed person, can't help but be underestimated.
Besides, if you have anything, the officials would not tell my younger brother clearly that they are two families after all, so the property should be taken over by the wife. The wife's family was originally in Haizhou, and I plan to..."
Luo's mother quickly said, "Son, let your daughter-in-law take care of her parents' family, and she is not afraid that her parents' brothers will swallow up the food. She should take care of your brother."
I was even more afraid that my brother would swallow up the land. Luo Wangjing muttered in his stomach and continued with a kind look: "Mother, you want to go to Beijing with me. My wife's family is always from Haizhou. Besides, my brother will also be separated from the family in the future. Now that he has his own wife, even if you and him, he will be two families in the future. Only by entrusting my property to my wife's family will it not be deficient."
Luo's mother immediately figured it out: "Yes, I don't worry about deficiencies when I hand it over to my wife. We just want to hand it over a fixed share of the land every year. If I can't pay it, she will fill it up by herself. No matter what our business is... Son, you don't know, this year's life is really sad. Last winter was very cold, and the tea trees were frozen to death, and the tea market was extremely depressed. In addition, the helpers who beg for food in the city were less in the idleness.
The city is depressed and it is difficult outside the city. This year, the drought is severe, and only a few rains have occurred. Many fields have not been harvested. Our family’s twenty acres of land may not last until next year.”
Speaking of this, Luo's mother clapped her hands: "Thanks to the concubine of the Shi family, you don't know, this concubine is really a blessing. She was originally the biological mother of the Shi family's Zongzi. In order to save decentness for the Zongzi, the Shi family of Jiaxing moved the Shi family to Haizhou. The concubine is now the head of the family. Although she was a concubine in the past, she is now the eldest mother of the Zongzi. Who in the village does not respect it?
This year, the food prices rose outrageously, thanks to the wife of Shi’s parents, who gave us 100 kilograms of meat, which made us get some meat during the holidays, which is not easy.”
"What? Miaotai is the biological mother of the Shi clan son. When did it happen?" Luo Wangjing was confused.
However, Chu Suzhen was not present, and no one in the audience felt that his logic was confusing. They were talking about Shi Can's mother now, not Cui Xiaoqing, but no one explained to Luo Wangjing. Since his brother announced the separation, Luo Er's expression has been a little bit grand. At this time, he heard that his mother had the intention of relying on his sister-in-law. Seeing that his brother's face was no longer gloomy, he quickly interrupted and said, "Brother, the family and sister-in-law were close at that time. I heard that the Shi family was particularly good to his sister-in-law because of this. The meat that was distributed to us was distributed to our family. Every time they shared the meat, they would ask his sister-in-law repeatedly if he had eaten it?"
Luo Wangjing lowered his face and ignored Chunni's presence and scolded his younger brother, "I have heard that your newly hired wife is so precious, and you need your sister-in-law to pay half of the dowry and get in... Mother, you will ask the matchmaker to tell Chunni's family tomorrow, and say that her dowry is not commensurate with the betrothal gift, so she will make up for the betrothal gift. If her family doesn't want to, then pay our betrothal gifts and let her marry in the future... I don't believe it anymore. We can't find a better person than Chunni in our Jinshi family."
The words of the Jinshi son resonated with Luo's mother. She also looked at Luo Er and complained dissatisfiedly: "That's right, my eldest son is a Jinshi. My eldest daughter-in-law brought a ten thousand dowry into the house, but the second daughter-in-law only wanted to be greedy for the jewelry of the eldest daughter-in-law. Chunni, tell the family that there is little dowry, my Luo family can't bear it. These ** brothers want to clean up Shangjing. If her family is unwilling to increase the dowry, then pay the betrothal gift quickly. We will let your brother decide to find another woman with a generous dowry to be your wife."
Chunni ran away with a wow sound.
Luo Er murmured in a low voice: "Mother, you are distracted again. My brother will be a Jinshi in the future. Nothing has to be done, and someone will throw the land into his name. My younger brother... Brother, I have a Jinshi brother. If the family is separated, would you beg for me, the Jinshi brother?"
Chapter completed!
