Chapter 87 Master, isn’t this bad?
Chapter 87 Master, isn’t this good?
Once Shengji Study opened, business was quite good. Sixty copies of "Dream of Red Mansions" were sold on the opening day, and even the later copies were sold out.
This encouraged Su Mingjue. He originally thought that he was just looking for an excuse to pay Baili Xi's salary, but unexpectedly he actually went on the road.
However, although the business is good, it cannot be sustained because of the book, and the product structure is still too simple.
According to the current trend, after "A Dream of Red Mansions" is finished, his study will also close down. He must find a way to expand the business scope of this study so as not to lose his livelihood in the future.
On the carriage, Su Xiaoliu saw that his young master had been depressed since he got in the carriage, with a worried look on his face. He said, "Master, isn't school fun today?"
Su Mingjue leaned on the back seat of the carriage, He looked a little sad and said: "No, Master Zhang even praised me today and said that my handwriting is good."
Su Xiaoliu heard this and said in confusion: "Young Master has been praised, so why do you still look unhappy?"
Su Mingjue He supported his head with his hands and looked thoughtful, "I'm worried about what to do in the study
." When Su Xiaoliu heard this, he was even more confused, "Isn't the business in this study very good? Master, what is there to worry about?"
Su Mingjue said softly . Sighing, "This is just the beginning, later..."
Su Mingjue was talking when a wailing sound came from outside the carriage, "You are such a heartless person, you will not die well!"
The voice was too sharp. , attracted Su Mingjue's attention for a moment, and he immediately stopped, lifted up the curtains and looked out the window.
Not far ahead, I saw a woman with messy hair, wearing a patched brown dress, holding a three-year-old child in her arms, wiping her eyes and crying.
There was a large circle of people around, including men, women, old and young. They were listening to the woman talking and pointing from time to time.
Su Mingjue took a look around and immediately wanted to go down and see what was going on, so he asked Mu Li to find a place to stop.
After hearing this, Mu Li found a spot on the roadside and stopped his horse.
Su Mingjue opened the curtain on the carriage and wanted to get out of the carriage to find out.
Su Xiaoliu followed behind with a confused look on his face: "Master, wait for me where you are going."
Su Mingjue turned a deaf ear and walked straight to the crowd of onlookers, found an open space and started eating melon.
A kind-hearted woman next to her comforted her: "Your health is important. Crying like this will ruin your health."
The woman looked haggard and said, "It's already like this. What's the point of paying attention to your health?"
The woman cried and scolded: "If you want to blame me, blame me for having a miserable life. I don't understand people well. I work from dawn to dusk to make a living. I provide him with food and drink. I just hope that he can study hard and get fame, so that we, mother and son, can live a good life. Who knows that in the end, after success, But he abandoned his wife and children and turned against anyone else. "
Su Mingjue listened for a while and realized that this was a typical "Chen Shimei" incident. The wife worked hard to earn money so that her husband could concentrate on studying and get fame. In the end, after the other party was named on the gold medal list, he had to abandon the bad wife. She is a A heartless person.
When the people around him heard this, they yelled and cursed,
"What kind of people are they? They are simply called scholars!"
"No, my wife worked hard to control this family, but she was abandoned in the end. Not as good as pigs or dogs.
"If you ask me, such a cold-blooded person is not worthy of being an official. Who knows what will happen if his parents become officials!" ...
The
people around were all resentful, and a few laughed at this woman for not knowing current affairs. He looked so slovenly, how could his husband, who was an official, fall in love with him?
Su Mingjue felt a sigh of relief, but after a while he realized that these ancient people were no different from modern people. They loved eating melons as well. Gossip.
The people on the side heard what she said heartbreakingly. Someone asked: "Who is this official who is so unfaithful and unjust? Just go and beat the Dengwen drum!"
The woman was heartbroken. At this point, he slightly restrained his words and said, "I don't know where the Dengwen Drum is. I first arrived in the capital and I don't know where it is."
Someone pointed the way: "Go forward to Xuanming Street, which is the Dali Temple. You go there. Just beat the Denwen drum. "
The woman wiped her tears and was about to thank her when a crisp sound of gongs was heard not far away, "Jing Zhaoyin is here, everyone is waiting to get out of the way. "
Not long after, a man wearing an official hat and robes came over in a sedan chair. Walking in front was a yamen servant wearing a yamen robe.
When he heard someone crying, he sent someone to go to the woman to check the situation. , the yamen officer found out the situation and reported back. Jing Zhaoyin waved his hand through the curtain of the sedan chair, and then two yamen officers lifted up the woman who was lying on the ground. One yamen officer said in a deep voice: "This person is disturbing the order. , put in jail for three days according to the law, and the others can disperse if they have nothing to do!"
For a while, Jing Zhaoyin led a group of people to leave the scene in a hurry. The crowd that was still gathered around them just now dissipated after hearing this. .
There were only a few people left there, one of them shook his head and muttered in a low voice: "The world is declining, and officials are protecting each other." "
When an acquaintance next to him heard this, he quickly stepped forward and covered his mouth: "I don't want to say these words like this, be careful of trouble coming out of your mouth. "
The man realized in an instant that he had said something he shouldn't have said, and murmured in a low voice: "Even if you want to appeal, I'm afraid there's no way!"
The person next to him pulled him away and said: "Yes. Otherwise, what should I do? You and I are just ordinary people, how can we stand up to such a powerful official?"
As he said that, the two of them drifted away.
Su Xiaoliu followed behind to watch a farce, with some unbearable expression on his face and said: " Master, is that woman sent away like this? I don’t know if anything will happen to her.
Su Mingjue shook his head and said: "That woman has not committed any crime and she has not committed any crime. Jingzhao Yinzuo will only lock her up for a few days and scare her. She should be fine. "
Su Xiaoliu was silent for a while and said, "Someone just said that the unfaithful person would secretly send someone to kill the woman. " "
Su Mingjue touched Su Xiaoliu's head and said: "The Daxing Law is not so useless. Someone complained bitterly about the heartless man on the street, and then he was killed and silenced. This person was easily found out, no. It was worth the risk for him to do so. "
Su Xiaoliu nodded with relief after hearing this, "I just pity that woman. She was obviously being bullied, but she still has no way to complain. It would be great if someone could help her. I think the baby in her arms is only a few years old. Years old, I'm afraid life is not going to be easy this time. "
Su Mingjue nodded in agreement, "It would be different if there was supervision by public opinion. At least we could put pressure on the superiors.
Su Xiaoliu was stunned when he heard this: "Master, what is public opinion supervision?" Su
Mingjue did not answer directly, but said with a smile on his face: "I think our study has other ways to survive." "
Su Xiaoliu kept talking with a puzzled look on his face. Why did the young master go somewhere else? However, seeing that the young master's face became happy again, he asked cooperatively: "What do you want the young master to do?"
Su Mingjue smiled in her eyes and raised her fingers. He said to Su Xiaoliu: "Come here. "
Su Xiaoliu did as he was told and put his ear close to his ear. Su Mingjue leaned into his ear and explained: "I think..."
Su Xiaoliu thought he was serious at first, but the more he listened to his face, the more he listened. It became more and more weird, and even the ears turned red.
He whispered with some embarrassment: "Master, is this okay?"
Su Mingjue coughed lightly and nodded a few times at the crowd that had just gathered. "Why not? You saw those people just now! The people like it very much."
Su Xiaoliu lowered his head and said weakly: "But I am not as good as the young master..."
When Su Xiaoliu said it, he was too embarrassed to say it.
But his young master was very magnanimous. After he finished speaking, he walked briskly into the carriage, leaving him alone at the scene with a confused look on his face.
