Chapter 013
"I'm sorry, boss!"
Yang Yuniang placed Jiaxin on the soft couch in the living room and knelt in front of Cheng Shijie again.
"My boss, I deceived you!"
Cheng Shijie was not surprised: "Are you saying that Jiaxin is not your daughter?"
Yang Yunniang was a little surprised: "Has Shen Mingyu told you?"
"without!"
Cheng Shijie pointed at Jia Xin and said: "You once said that Jia Xin was born on the first day of July and was not yet a month old. Although she is thin and small, she has already started to grow deciduous teeth. It takes four months at the fastest for a baby to start growing teeth. It will take ten months at the earliest!”
"The slave was negligent!"
"Actually, there is a second point!"
"Second point?"
"That's right!"
Cheng Shijie said: "Do you still remember what you were wearing when Cheng met you for the first time?"
"Rags!"
"That's right!"
Cheng Shijie looked at Yang Yuniang and smiled and said: "You were very careful and smeared all the skin with dye, but you didn't know that if a woman is pregnant for ten months, she will definitely leave stretch marks on her belly, but you don't have any." .”
"Then why don't you tell me boss..."
"What are you doing to expose you?"
Cheng Shijie said disapprovingly: "If you weren't helpless, why would you show up with a baby?!"
Yang Yuniang thought she had done a perfect job, but she didn't expect that she would be exposed to all kinds of flaws in front of Cheng Shijie.
In fact, the men Yang Yunniang deceived in the past were all truly rich without exception. Rich people in the Ming Dynasty would not pay attention to when a baby starts to grow teeth. The richer the rich, the more important they are to themselves. The children have less care.
Cheng Shijie's two children, Cheng Jialong, started to grind their teeth when they were four months and five days old, and their deciduous teeth began to grow at four and a half months, while Cheng Jiayue's baby teeth started to grow later. She was able to roll over at six months before her deciduous teeth began to grow.
As for saying that women have stretch marks during pregnancy, this is basic knowledge in future generations.
Yang Yuniang stood up, walked to the basin stand, took a towel, and began to wipe her face.
When Yang Yunniang turned around, Cheng Shijie was a little unbelievable.
Yang Yunniang usually dresses like an ordinary woman. Her skin is very rough and there are some freckles on her face. She is not beautiful at all, and she looks like she is in her late twenties.
However, at this time, although Yang Yuniang was wearing a commoner hairdress and a blue-printed apron, the key was that her face was as fresh as snow, and her raven-colored hair was slightly unkempt, which made her pretty face look more charming and elegant. She is a beautiful and charming girl. It makes people feel bright.
Cheng Shijie was not surprised. The beauty of a woman was the original sin in troubled times. Especially when there is no one to shelter from.
He was also lamenting that he once wanted to bring Yang Yuniang and Shen Mingyu together, but Shen Mingyu looked down on Yang Yuniang. What have you been doing?
If he always showed this face to others, Cheng Shijie would never believe that Shen Mingyu was unmoved. Not to mention that Shen Mingyu was unmoved, even Cheng Shijie was also disturbed.
"This process is understandable!"
Cheng Shijie sighed: "You are just protecting yourself, no need to apologize!"
"More than these!"
Yang Yuniang pointed at the baby in her arms and said, "You lied to your master!"
"Your name is not Yang Yunniang?"
"no!"
Yang Yuniang had no choice but to come one by one, saying that she was Yan among the ten swindlers in the world. She had deceived many people because of her travels in the world. Of course, the purpose of her initial approach to Cheng Shijie was to defraud him of his money.
Making it impossible for him to redeem what he had in Xingping.
"Master, please punish this slave!"
"never mind!"
Cheng Shijie sighed and said, "Go ahead and take Jiaxin with you."
Yang Yunniang knelt on the ground and did not get up: "I don't want to leave. If I leave, I will have no other livelihood except cheating. If I meet a bad person, I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid of Jiaxin... My boss, I don't dare to climb high. , the slave is willing to work as a cook for the master and cook for the master, for free, as long as the slave is rewarded with a mouthful of food!"
Cheng Shijie hesitated.
As Yang Yuniang said, if you leave here, you can only cheat. If you are caught, it will not be easy to die. The Ming Dynasty was very unfriendly to women. Apart from brothels, there were almost no careers suitable for women. Even if they wanted to join a wealthy family as a servant, they would not accept them. Instead, they would buy a refugee's child, which saves money and is convenient. Tune and teach.
"You go to the middle courtyard!"
Cheng Shijie decided to turn his backyard into his own private space.
Yang Yunniang lives in the right wing of the middle courtyard. This right wing has three rooms, one of which is the kitchen. The three wing rooms on the left are for Shen Mingyu and Song Kangnian.
“How about keeping peace and quiet in the backyard so that we can take care of our boss!”
"No, I have hands and feet so why do I need others to take care of me!!"
Although Cheng Shijie said that everyone is a family, no one took it seriously.
Cheng Shi and Cheng Hu were placed in the concierge by Yang Yunniang, while Cheng Anning and Cheng Jingjing were placed in the right wing of the middle courtyard.
The four people began to clean the courtyard.
Since the yard was very large, the four people worked for most of the day and only managed to clean up part of it.
Yang Yuniang held her daughter Jiaxin in her arms, put Jiaxin to sleep, and then started cooking.
"Ming Yu!"
"Master!"
"Let someone inquire and see if anyone is willing to sell the dog!"
"The owner wants to buy a dog!"
"There are only eight or nine of us in such a big house, so it's not very safe!"
Although Cheng Shijie's house has become popular, the problem is whether Cheng Shi or Cheng Hu can be trusted. He would rather trust dogs than people.
As long as the dog is well fed, the dog can be more loyal than people.
Shen Mingyu spent eight coins to buy two Shandong fine dogs for Cheng Shijie. Shandong fine dogs are one of the four famous fine dogs in China. They have a history of more than 2,000 years and are very good hunting dogs.
The Shandong Fine Dog has three outstanding qualities: it is very loyal. Once it recognizes its owner, it will never rebel or recognize other people as its owner. It also runs very fast and is very well-behaved, unlike Erha, an expert who breaks down a house.
One of the two is gray and white, the other is black and white. They are both puppies that have just been born and have not yet opened their eyes.
Cheng Shijie bought some dog food from later generations. Of course, the two small dogs cannot eat dog food now and can only drink milk powder. After Cheng Shijie fed them for three days, the two small dogs began to slowly open their eyes.
When it comes to feeding and bathing dogs, including giving vaccinations, he never talks to other people. The two puppies are also very attached to Cheng Shijie, almost following every step they take.
The Shandong Fine Dog is also a type of Chinese pastoral dog. This kind of dog has a very unique feature, that is, it does not know how to eat at the table. Dog breeds such as Shih Tzu, Teddy Dog, and Lion Dog all like to sit on the table and interact with their owners. Dinner at the same table.
Chinese Garden Dogs don’t. Unless the owner puts the food on the ground, even if he holds the meat with chopsticks for him to eat, they will not eat it.
In the past few days, Song Kangnian went out early and came back late. He was busy all day long. Cheng Shijie did not rush him, but patiently took care of his Xiao Hui and Xiao Hei.
That night, Cheng Shijie had dinner and was about to return to the future world, but Song Kangnian was a little abnormal.
"Master!"
"Why are you hesitating? Can't you just say it?"
"Things are screwed up!"
Song Kangnian said angrily: "That bastard Xu Dacheng doesn't keep his word!"
Cheng Shijie asked doubtfully: "Who is Xu Dacheng?"
"He is Governor Sun's staff and his fellow Jiading fellow!"
Song Kangnian said with a depressed face: "I originally said that five thousand taels of silver will be given to a person who is in the seventh grade."
"They regretted it?"
"It's not like going back on my word, but giving my boss a full sixth-grade military position!"
"What military position?"
Cheng Shijie doesn't really care what official he is. He needs to make money from time and space transportation and buy some weapons. As long as the weapons are in hand, he can find an opportunity to kill big traitors such as Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Li Jiucheng, and Shang Kexi.
Song Kangnian took out a petition.
There were four ways to promote and appoint officials in the Ming Dynasty: hereditary, military service, military examination, and promotion. Cheng Shijie took exactly the method of promotion, which meant spending money to buy an official position.
Of course, this is not the procedure, but the fifth one, which is recommended.
According to the Ming Dynasty system, except for military ministers who move based on their own merits, those who are brave and courageous and have many experience and recommendations will be promoted regardless of their qualifications. They may be called promotions, or appointed, or they may act as a certain official, or they may be appointed as subordinates. The position of the official is called the use of generals and materials. "
Sun Yuanhua himself was the governor of Denglai. He had the obligation and power to recommend military attaches. Of course, it was normal to use this power in exchange for money.
Sun Yuanhua was not a Jinshi. He was born in Juren. He was able to reach the level of governor because he was good at casting cannons and was proficient in Western learning. He had a teacher named Xu Guangqi who was the Minister of Rites.
The blank before Cheng Shijie was revealed.
Granted a certain surname in a certain province, a certain prefecture, a certain county, a certain name is Dengzhou Weiyou Qianhu deputy Qianhu, and the rank is from the fifth rank.
The fourth day of August in the fourth year of Chongzhen.
There are more than 30 large and small marks densely packed on it, such as the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Personnel.
Although Cheng Shijie didn't understand the process of appointing officials in the Ming Dynasty, no matter how he looked at it, this should be a real confession.
Song Kangnian said: "If the members agree and sign your name, you can choose a date to take office!"
