No, I have to go to the county government office tomorrow!
After making the decision to go to the county office tomorrow, she and Yu Silian turned off the lights and went to bed.
Early the next morning, Yu Silian got up early as usual to prepare breakfast for Han Shuxian. After serving him breakfast, she was worried that he would go to the academy alone, so she thought of sending him to the academy, but Han Shuxian persuaded him to stay. At home!
If there is danger on the road, asking her to accompany her won't mean that she will also be in danger! And he didn't think there was any danger on the road, so there was no need for her to follow! There are still children at home for her to take care of, and if they go to the county and go back and forth, it will delay things. If there is such time, it is better to take the opportunity to rest.
As usual, Han Shuxian was alone for a long way after coming out of the village. However, as he approached the county town, there were more people on the road, and they all rushed to the county town like him.
When he arrived at the academy, Han Shuxian began his teaching preparations. After all the students had arrived, he walked into the classroom. First, he collected the homework assigned the night before. There were only twenty-five students in the classroom and walked to the podium. After walking around for a while, I quickly put away the twenty-five points of homework.
After collecting his homework, Han Shuxian walked back to the classroom with a serious face, "Today we will talk about the fifth chapter of Teng Wengong's chapter in "Mencius". Before talking about it, please think about what is benevolent government? With this question first Read it twice by yourself." While the students in the audience were reading, he walked back and forth in the classroom, walked to the students who were not reading aloud, stretched out his hand, tapped on the table in front of the students, and said: "Read aloud Come!" Then the students were heard reading aloud.
Estimating the time, after everyone read it twice, he returned to the stage and called on the students to answer the questions he had asked everyone to think about before reading.
The class that Han Shuxian teaches now is no longer just students, but has passed the county examination and the prefecture examination. The next step is the college examination. If they pass the college examination successfully, they are considered to be scholars. I just don’t know how many of them can successfully pass the assessment!
Han Shuxian started today’s lecture with questions! After the lecture, I walked out of the classroom with the collected homework. After class, I started to correct the collected homework. While correcting the homework, I still recorded the questions with more mistakes, and prepared to wait until the next class to correct them. Let’s review this question so that everyone can understand it.
After grading the homework, Han Shuxian went to the dean's room, took a leave of absence for a while, and then left the academy and walked to the street. Han Shuxian did not go to the wine shop this time, but went to a flower shop. When the flower shop owner saw a customer coming, he rushed out and said, "Please come in, please!" After letting Han Shuxian into the house, the boss asked with a smile: "What kind of flowers do you want to see, sir?"
After Han Shuxian entered the flower shop, he began to look at the various flowers and plants that were carefully tended inside. The flower shop was not very big, but there were many flowers and plants in the house. All kinds of flowers and plants were placed in pots of different styles and placed on flower stands. , or placed on the ground. Not only are they placed neatly and orderly, but the interior of the house is also very clean and tidy. Up to the flower stand, the pots on the flower stand, and down to the ground paved with stone slabs, they are all spotless. There is absolutely no trace of flowers and plants. Because of this, the ground was covered with mud.
As clean as the flower shop is the owner of the flower shop. The boss is an old man in his fifties. He wears a gray apron around his waist. Not only is the apron stained with specks of soil, it has also been washed white by him. , just like its owner, its face also bears the marks of time.
After taking a glance at the flowers and plants in the shop, Han Shuxian turned to the boss and replied: "Show me the chrysanthemums!"
The old man still had a smile on his face and responded: "This way, please!" Then he introduced the chrysanthemums, "It's the right time for your guest to come and see the chrysanthemums!"
It is now autumn, and after autumn, it will be the season when chrysanthemums bloom. Han Shuxian nodded and said, "I am going to buy two pots to give away!"
When the old man heard that Han Shuxian said it was a gift, he asked again: "Does the person you are giving it to know about chrysanthemums?"
Han Shuxian smiled and said: "I don't know much! But I just like to raise some flowers and plants!" Not to mention that some people with property have gardens at home to raise flowers and plants for people to watch. Even in the village, many people will put them in their houses. There are some flowers and plants planted in the front and back of the house, but what people in the village grow most are fruits and vegetables. They can't wait to plant every piece of land with enough food to live a prosperous life.
The old man specializes in selling flowers and plants. The people who often come here to buy are all well-off families. Otherwise, there would be no spare money to buy flowers and raise them. After hearing Han Shuxian's words, he felt confident and took Han Shuxian to the shelf with chrysanthemums. , pointing to one of the pots of chrysanthemums with thick flowers and leaves, and said: "This pot is called Green Cloud. The flowers are light green in color. The flowers and leaves are slender. The petals on the outer ring grow downward. When the petals hang down, they have a tassel-like feel." ." After introducing the green chrysanthemum, he pointed to another pot next to it and said: "This pot is a white peony, with overlapping petals, as rich and majestic as a peony, white and flawless." Then he said, "These two pots are both. It’s beautiful to look at and easy to maintain, so it’s suitable for people who like flowers and plants but don’t have much energy to take care of them.”
After hearing this, Han Shuxian asked again: "How long will it take for it to bloom?"
The old man pointed to the top of the white peony and saw that there were already some particle-sized flower buds among the branches and leaves. "It will bloom in about a month!"
Then Han Shuxian asked about the price again. After asking about the price, he didn’t stop any longer and finally bought two pots of chrysanthemums for one tael of silver!
After Han Shuxian left the flower shop with two pots of chrysanthemums, he walked to the pastry shop on the street. He bought two more pastries before heading to Moyun Bookstore.
When he arrived at the bookstore, the waiter greeted him and walked to the backyard. After walking to the hall in the backyard, he asked Han Shuxian to sit down and wait, while he went to Xie Wenhua's.
Xie Wenhua looked at Han Shuxian with a smile on his face, "Are you sure that I am in the bookstore?"
Han Shuxian smiled and said, "Didn't you say you won't go back until you figure out this printing method?"
As soon as printing was mentioned, Xie Wenhua's smiling face immediately turned sad, "It's obviously not difficult, so why can't it be printed well?"
But Han Shuxian smiled and said: "If it were not difficult, wouldn't everyone be able to print out the book and read it? If so, I'm afraid your book won't be sold." Then he added: "Bring you two pots of flowers, so as not to You just stare at books all day long."
After Han Shuxian finished speaking, Xie Wenhua regained the smile on his face, "You are still thinking of me!"
Han Shuxian added: "I'm afraid that if you don't have good eyesight and don't collect the books carefully, you will lose money in this store."
Xie Wenhua was unhappy and said, "I thought you were showing off!"
Han Shuxian held back his laughter, "If he was as smart as Wan Wan, I could praise him more and show off."
After Xie Wenhua ordered people to serve tea, he said: "You are greedy! How many people like Chunlin can you find in your academy?" Then he said: "But Wanwan is very generous, and took the copy of the book After the money left the door, another man came back, saying that he couldn't let me suffer and insisted on giving me the one tael of silver I gave to Chunlin. This girl didn't treat you as outsiders."
The two of them were drinking tea and talking. After talking about Han Chunlin and Mo Ziwan, Han Shuxian talked about Murong Qingyuan again. After briefly talking about what happened yesterday, he said: "He is currently with Mo Ziwan. Let’s copy the books together, and if you come to return the books in a few days, please help and pay more attention!”
After hearing this, Xie Wenhua immediately said: "Don't worry, I will definitely pay more attention to him as long as he comes." Later, he also said: "According to what you said, there is something wrong with him! I just don't know why he went to Mo's house!"
If Han Shuxian could figure out this problem, he would not come to his bookstore to talk about it, so he said: "I can't figure out what the Mo family deserves to be remembered about!" After that, he added: "I will go to the county later. Let’s take a look!”
"I'm afraid I won't be able to find out anything if I go to the county government office!" Xie Wenhua said.
"Someone is robbed on the road. For such a big thing, someone must go and report it to the Yamen! Otherwise, if you encounter him again in the future, you may not be as lucky as yesterday." Han Shuxian said.
"I'll go with you! Someone committed a murder in broad daylight. Don't say that people on the road are afraid. Even if my shop is open, it won't be safe." Xie Wenhua said. He and Han Shuxian thought the same. He might as well go to the Yamen to report the matter. Ordinary gangsters are still very afraid of people sent by the yamen. When people from the yamen go to inquire, it is easy to find out the clues. In this way, they can quickly figure out why the man named Murong Qingyuan went to Mo's house.
But there is also a possibility that even the people in the yamen can't find out. There are only two reasons for this possibility. One is that it is true. The other kind can only wait and see what happens.
The two came to the Yamen, and the person who received them was the Yamen Master. The Master was a man about four years old. After listening to Han Shuxian's words, he said: "This is a coincidence. The two people you mentioned happened to be caught by us yesterday. .”
This was something Han Shuxian didn't expect. The county government would actually arrest everyone. Just when he was confused, the master said again: "Someone came to report late yesterday that there was robbery outside the city, so the government sent people I went to arrest him, but he was caught without much effort, and he is still locked up in a cell."
After the master finished speaking, Han Shuxian asked: "Can you tell me why they robbed? Are there any accomplices?"
The master said: "The two of them are not extremely evil people. Both brothers make a living by hunting and do some fur business. This time they came to the county to sell furs. Unexpectedly, they could not resist the temptation and were tricked into a gambling house. In the end, they lost all the money they had and were kicked out of the gambling house. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that they had been cheated. They wanted to go back to the gambling house to get their money back, but they didn't know that the money was lost. He didn't get it back, and was beaten up. In the end, after the two of them struggled in the gambling house to no avail, they didn't bother to go home, so they had to fight to steal the money."
"The two were very honest yesterday. After being arrested, they not only confessed about the robbery, but also said that they did not want to rob people of their money. They had not eaten for several days, were hungry, and had no money to go back. They also promised They said they didn't hurt anyone, and another person also said that not only did he not hurt anyone, but even the injury on his head was caused by someone smashing it during the robbery!" After Han Shuxian asked, the master spoke in detail. After explaining why the two came out to steal money, he also said: "Of course, the reason why the two admitted so quickly was because they wanted us to go to the gambling house to help them get back the money they got from selling the furs."
