When Yuan Jia and Zhu Zhi came to the boat excitedly carrying a box of money, Shen Gonghai and Yao Si also ran over in a hurry. They were brothers who had lived in the same house for three years. There was no reason for such a big thing to happen. come and see.
"Ouch, Mr. Yuan is really kind and righteous. Mom, I have no reason to stop my daughter from getting married. It stands to reason that the redemption of little Yuanbao requires eighty guan of money. This is stated in the contract. Alas, who calls me a born mother? I have a heart of a Bodhisattva, and I don’t like the idea of a lover having a hard time having good dreams. No matter what, seventy guan will be 70 guan. Let’s also take away the clothes I bought for Yuan Baoer over the years. Think of it as a dowry for my daughter from my mother. ."
Yuan Jia was about to say a few words of thanks when he heard Shen Gonghai say leisurely behind him: "Old Madam, you are just a damn drinker of human blood. Now don't pretend to be a Bodhisattva in front of men. The college disciple never owes anyone any favors. Ten guan of money is not a hair in the eyes of men. It is not your turn to be a bustard to sell a good deal to the uncle of the academy. This is twenty guan of money. I will reward you with the extra money. Hurry up and write the knot. Ju, we have nothing to do with each other from now on. From now on, if I say the names of my siblings from your mouth again, I will smash you to pieces."
Yao Niang never disliked money. No matter how unpleasant Shen Gonghai said, those two big ingots of silver were so dazzling that he grabbed them and held them in his arms, saying with a smile: " Yes, yes, what this young master said is absolutely right, Yuan Bao'er is going to be an official's wife, I promise not to mention a word from now on, if there is any mistake, you will tear me up."
Yuan Baoer was wearing a bright red dress and was pushed out of the cabin surrounded by other singing girls. She lowered her head shyly. Yuan Jia was filled with joy when he saw it. He was about to step forward to pull little Yuan Bao, but Shen Gonghai held him back. He asked for small bundles one by one from Yao Si, threw them to Xiao Yuanbao, and said to her: "If my brothers and sisters want to think about Yuan Jia, please put on these clothes. Remember, Yan Lailou has the same things." You can't ask for anything. You can't take anything with you. Your good sister can only be a passerby from now on. If you can do this, I will make the decision for you today and get married immediately. Otherwise, this matter will not be mentioned."
Yuan Jia looked at Shen Gonghai inexplicably and said: "Haizi, everyone has feelings. Yuan Bao has been with the sisters for many years, so you are so heartless. Do you think it is snobbish to do so?"
Shen Gonghai pulled off the bristles, and Yao Si pointed at the two of them and said to Yuan Jia: "Who are they? Who are we? See clearly, the four of us are the same kind of people. My brother and sister have a big influence on you." Well, I can't repay you enough. Marrying such a loyal and filial wife is a beautiful thing in the first place. Although there is a lack of integrity, this is exactly what my academy doesn't care about.
Think about it, why did we come here after ten years of hard work? Isn’t it because we want to show our talents, win a name in history, and create a prosperous age for the people of the Tang Dynasty that will never fade away.
In another month and a half, it is time for us to prepare to show off our skills and compete with all the scholars in the world. Our academy will definitely become the target of public criticism. Although it is not written into the law that good men and bad men should not marry, do you think this thing does not exist? No one will pay attention to taking concubines. Three matchmaking certificates and six certificates are indispensable for marrying a real wife. These things must be written into your official certificate. If you let them know that your sister-in-law came from a brothel, what future do you have, and the academy will also If someone accuses you of this, all your years of hard work will be wasted, so don’t be careless about this."
"Haizi, you are wrong. If a man behaves righteously and walks straight, what does it have to do with others' slander? A gentleman's moral cultivation must be based on subtle insights. It is not beautiful to do things secretly. Yuan Bao'er is my wife. We Neither stealing nor robbing, as current events force me, being in a brothel is not a shameful thing. Of course, marrying her must be fair and aboveboard. I also want to ask the old mountain chief to bless my couple. This dress is very suitable. If I have to be an official As for being an official, it doesn’t matter if I don’t become an official. It’s also a meritorious deed for me to stay in the academy to teach and educate people. Haizi, you and I are brothers. I appreciate your kindness. However, I have no intention of letting Yuanbao marry me unjustly. Otherwise, My parents will never let me go."
Shen Gonghai sighed and had no choice but to let him go. He saw Yuan Jia holding Yuan Bao'er's hand and happily going back to the academy. After taking two steps, he didn't find Zhu Zhu and Yao Si moving, so he said angrily: "You two bastards, if you don't leave, what are you waiting for?"
Zhuzhi pulled Shen Gonghai obscenely and said, "Obviously, our third brother has no place to sleep tonight. We can't sleep in the same room with our younger siblings. How about..."
Shen Gonghai looked at the flower boats in Yan Lai Tower, then at Yao Si who was salivating, and stamped his feet and said: "No problem, you will have enough to eat and drink, and you will take care of yourself at night." After saying this, he smiled politely like a bird. The old hen's girl walked over.
Yun Ye had been busy in the office early in the morning and had accumulated a lot of official documents. The Lingnan Navy actually discovered an island at the mouth of the Yangtze River and planned to build a transfer dock there. It was also convenient for daily supplies. The large ships of the army brought enough supplies for them. We need to go back and forth between Mingzhou and Lingnan. If we have nothing to do to build a transshipment terminal there, we need to consider this matter and put it aside for now.
After finishing the official business, I finally took out the personal documents for review. It was strange that the water transport company was also planning to build a transshipment terminal. When I took the maps of the two places and took a look, I understood, isn't it Chongming Island in later generations? Why is it like this? Small? It’s no more than a hundred feet from east to west, and only thirty feet from north to south. What’s going on in such a small place? Moreover, this island has just been formed and there’s sand everywhere. How can we build a dock? No, we need to ask this question thoroughly. Wait until they come back. Let’s talk about it later.
Hypatia had already twisted her waist and passed by the office twice. Yun Ye pretended not to notice it. When he passed by the third time, he couldn't help it anymore and walked directly in and sat down on Yun Ye's desk. It said: "Yesterday Gaoyangzi and I took a hot spring bath together. Don't you want to know what happened?"
Yun Ye carefully moved the inkstone over, rubbed his temples and said, "I'll first pay a moment of silence for that Japanese woman. By the way, since you came, the quality of the academy has dropped by a big margin. If it continues like this, what's wrong? If women sit at men’s tables, what fun is there in this world?”
Hypatia got down from the table sheepishly, rolled her eyes and said, "Those corpses in the forest seem to have been sent by her. Don't you have the intention to ask about them?"
"Mr. Sun is currently studying human bones and muscles. He also likes to see the internal organs and lungs of dead people. There are always not enough corpses. What's wrong with sending more corpses?"
"I think you have bad intentions and have laid a trap for people to fall into. Tell me. I won't tell others. I just want to know how you designed it to harm people."
"Keep it secret? Have you ever had this concept? I really don't understand you. Find a good man to marry on your terms, then have children, and study knowledge at the same time. What a good thing. As for dragging women around all day long?
If I go to the hot spring pool with you, several gentlemen in the academy will already complain about you."
"I don't like those stupid men. I just like women to be held softly and comfortably in my arms. Men, is that all? My body has been dedicated to the God of Wisdom. Men in the world should not have delusions.
Already."
Yun Ye nodded in understanding. Hypatia's God of Wisdom is also a woman. This person is basically hopeless.
"Li Tai wants to conduct a large-scale scientific experiment, why don't you go and help him? Sooner or later, knowledge must be known and understood by the world. It cannot just be locked up in the academy. Such exhibition activities will also be the work of the academy in the future.
On the other hand, Mr. Zhao Yanling is now systematically inviting astrology enthusiasts in Chang'an City to visit his observatory. Can the huge telescope made of distilled water last time be built this year? His Majesty the Emperor wants to see what is on the moon.
What's the matter? This time it's made more elaborate. If you want people to pay, you have to spend money. People will know at a glance that it is a high-end product. It takes a lot of money to make it. There are many rich people in Chang'an now. You can name it as you like.
You can cheat people with just your head and raise a lot of money from donations.
Look at the academy, which has been building walls over the years. It is about to cover Yushan. The cost is very high. Xu Jingzong is as tired as a donkey all day long. You don’t know how to feel sorry for people and how much you can give them.
You'll die if you get some money."
Hypatia was confused by Yun Ye's barrage of words. When she heard the silver, she immediately interrupted: "The fine gold and mithril haven't been found yet, and you just spent the little money staring at me all day. Two thousand dollars to buy this
Neither of the two psychic metals is enough. I ask you for it, but you won’t give it to me.”
"Haha, it's my fault. I haven't seen the fine gold or mithril, but you seem to have bought a lot of new jewelry. You bought the half-a-kilogram gold armband that was auctioned by the Western Region Caravan without blinking an eye.
, don’t tell me that’s your own money, two thousand guan. Do you have a thousand guan left now? Tell you, that’s your research funding for this year, and there won’t be any more.”
Hypatia quickly pulled Yun Ye's sleeves and begged, promising not to waste money, and purring like a cat. Just when Yun Ye was getting annoyed, Xu Jingzong walked in, and Hypatia
Ya pretended to arrange his clothes, puffed out his chest and walked out.
"Old Xu, don't misunderstand what happened just now."
"I don't get you wrong. I've been listening outside the door for a while. This woman is a temptress. We can't get along with her. If it were any other gentleman, he would be able to go to Dali Temple if he behaved like this. In the future, regardless of whether he is a gentleman,
The money raised by students should be accounted for and allocated in a unified way. Those who have contributed a lot can get more. It must not be like now whoever raises funds belongs to the same person. If this continues, it will cause chaos. "
"Old Xu, you are right. If there are no rules, you can't make a circle. Let's start with me. I just raised a thousand coins from the Ministry of Household Affairs to design new account books. This money will be put in the academy first.
On the account. "(To be continued. Mobile phone users please go to m. to read.)
