Kong Ruolan, who was running back to the boudoir with small steps, was startled by a gust of fragrant wind, which startled Ling'er who was waiting outside the hospital. She was stunned for a while before running after the young lady.
Only the large number of officials in the yard were left looking at the disappeared Qian Ying and murmuring to themselves: "Are you too anxious? But I just held her little hand and didn't do anything else!"
This man was still in a daze, but he didn't know that in an era where etiquette and integrity were important, holding hands between an unmarried man and a woman was already very rude. If Pang Gang hadn't been Kong Ruolan's fiancé, the Kong family could have relied on this
Accuse him of the crime of blasphemy against a good woman.
Kong Ruolan, who ran back to the boudoir like a frightened little rabbit, immediately threw herself on the bed, covering her rosy face with two delicate hands. Until now, she still feels that her heartbeat is as fast as a drum.
"This Pang Gang is so rude. How could he hold someone's hand so frivolously? I was the same, so why didn't I scold him immediately? But it felt really good to be held by him. He
How come your palms are so big and so warm?" Kong Ruolan, who felt a little guilty, felt a sense of sweetness in her heart at the same time.
The louder the sound, the more confused her heart became, and the louder the sound, the more annoying her heart became. In the end, she simply sunk her whole face into the quilt, and the soft silk mandarin duck quilt covered her pretty face, even Ling'er came in.
None of them noticed.
"Miss, miss!" Ling'er's crisp voice seemed to come from outside, faintly drifting into Kong Ruolan's ears.
"Well! Ling'er, what's the matter?" Kong Ruolan, who buried her face in the quilt, replied without raising her head, but her voice became a little dull because the quilt covered her mouth.
"Miss, my uncle...he didn't do anything just now, right?"
"Miss, miss, he didn't take advantage of you just now, did he?" Looking at the young lady who was still silent on the bed, Ling'er couldn't help but become a little scared, and then shouted loudly: "Miss, does he really dare to take advantage of you?
I will go to him immediately to settle the score."
After saying that, Kong Ruolan's personal maid twisted her slim waist and turned back to settle the score with that cowardly uncle.
Kong Ruolan became anxious when she saw it. Regardless of her shyness, she quickly sat up and stopped the loyal maid, "Ling'er, stop, no...it's not what you think, he...
"He doesn't care about me." At this point, her face, which had gradually regained her composure, became red again.
"Nothing about you?" Ling'er circled around his lady in confusion, and then joked with a smile: "Then why did the lady run faster than a rabbit just now, and her little face was redder than a monkey's butt?"
Kong Ruolan, who was teased by Ling'er, was ashamed and angry, and shouted: "Oh, Ling'er, you are seeking death, how dare you say that to me!"
Kong Ruolan ignored her shame and anger and rushed towards Ling'er, and the two of them started to quarrel in the boudoir...
Girls in Huaichun always have a trace of trouble in their happiness, pain and happiness coexist, and only they themselves know the taste.
At this time, in the Yangzhou magistrate's office, Sun Zhili was sitting in a small room in the backyard of the magistrate's office, slowly sipping tea. Sun Xiyi stood behind Sun Zhili to serve, and Yangzhou magistrate Gu Shou was sitting beside him to accompany him.
Sun Zhili moved the tea leaves floating in the cup with the tea lid, and said slowly: "Huairen, it has been more than seven years since you and I have been apart. You, a first-class Jinshi in the second year of Chongzhen, have also become the prefect of Yangzhou. After seven years,
Things and people have changed in the past, which is really disappointing!"
Gu Shou on the side said respectfully, "The student's ability to sit in this position is all due to the promotion of his teacher. The student never dares or forgets."
"Alas!" Sun Zhili waved his hand pretending to be humble, "I never taught you anything, I just corrected your exam papers pertinently. If you don't have real talent and learning, I can't take care of you even if I want to.
"
Gu Shou solemnly said: "There are as many talented people as crucian carp crossing the river, so what do students mean? It should be noted that thousand-mile horses often exist but bole does not always exist. If not for the mentor's discernment and promotion, how can the students reach high school? The love of the mentor will never be achieved by a student in this life.
Don’t dare or forget.”
"Yes!" Sun Zhili stroked his beard with satisfaction. Before becoming an official, he had served in the Ministry of Rites for nearly thirty years. He had gradually climbed up to the position of Minister of Rites from the positions of Director of the Ministry of Rites, Yuanwailang, Langzhong, Zuo Shilang, etc.
During this period, he served as the examiner for five times, and countless candidates passed through his hands. It can be said that the world is full of students, and the person in front of him, Master Gu, the prefect of Yangzhou, is one of them.
Sun Zhili chatted for a while and then said: "Huairen, I have been able to serve as an official and return to my hometown due to the emperor's favor. I am very happy to see that Yangzhou is governed in an orderly manner."
Gu Shou said modestly: "The prosperity of Yangzhou is all due to the teachings of the emperor's former teacher Hongfuhe."
Seeing that the time was ripe, Sun Zhili secretly made a sign to Sun Xiyi who was serving beside him. After understanding this, Sun Xiyi deliberately sighed behind him and said: "Master Gu, although Yangzhou is well governed by your master and the people live and work in peace and contentment, there are also some lawless people who do evil.
You must be on your guard against bullying the kind."
"Oh! Is this happening?" Gu Shou asked in surprise: "Brother, please tell me the details."
Sun Xiyi responded and then took the insult he received today out of context and told it with added fuel and jealousy. Then he said "righteously": "This Pang Gang was originally a humble military household in Shandong, but now he dares to lead the leading sergeant to enter our country in a swaggering manner.
It's okay to be so arrogant and domineering in Jiangsu. Now you are still bullying men and dominating women in Yangzhou City. If you don't punish them severely in accordance with the law, where is the king's law! Where is the justice of heaven!"
When Gu Shou heard this, he looked bitter and said with some embarrassment: "Brother Xian, these people are not only affiliated with Shandong, but they are also stationed in the army. I can't control them even if I want to. Even if I want to control them, the nearby guard station will have to send troops to drive them away.
That’s fine, I’m powerless.”
Sun Xiyi became anxious when he heard this: "Why are you doing this, Lord Magistrate? You must know that it is your responsibility to ensure the safety of this place. Now that someone is rampant in Yangzhou City, don't you care?"
"Little beast, shut up!" Sun Zhili on the side saw his son getting more and more outrageous and quickly stopped him. Sun Zhili was not as ignorant of court laws as his son. As the former Minister of Rites, he knew very well that although Gu Shou
As the prefect of Yangzhou, he really does not have much binding force on the garrison, especially those in other places. The only ones who can legitimately respond to this are the garrison troops of Jinshan Guard outside Yangzhou City. After all, their duty is to protect Yangzhou.
It was safe. However, the garrison at the garrison was not under the jurisdiction of him, the local chief executive, so now that Gu Shou looked embarrassed, it could not be said that he was shirk-shielding.
Looking at Sun Xiyi who was retreating with a look of resentment on his face, Gu Shou thought for a while and said to Sun Zhili: "Teacher, otherwise, my student will send an official document to Jinshan Guard Qianhu, asking him to enter the city and expel those soldiers who came from Shandong.
What do you think?"
Sun Zhili snorted coldly: "This dynasty's law states that troops stationed in a province are not allowed to cross the border without orders from the Ministry of War. Violators will be severely punished. Now they not only cross the border to cause trouble, but also oppress good people. They have committed a heinous crime. I think they should be punished for treason.
Serve as a warning to others.”
"Yes, he should be punished for treason and his nine clans should be punished!" Sun Xiyi touched his face that was still aching and shouted loudly. When he thought of the humiliation that Pang Gang had brought to him, he wanted to tear him into pieces.
part.
When Sun Zhili said this, even Gu Shou was startled. His mentor Ye was too cruel. He just beat your son, but you want his life and also kill his nine tribes. Isn't this right?
It's too much.
Seeing Gu Shou's hesitant look, Sun Zhili snorted coldly and continued to put pressure on him: "Huairen, you and I have been teachers and students for seven years. I cherish this friendship very much."
When our ancient prefect heard this, he realized...the meaning of his mentor's words was clearly that if he didn't listen to him, the relationship between him and his teacher and student would be over.
Gu Shou took a deep breath, quickly weighed the gains and losses in his mind, and gritted his teeth before saying: "Well, the student will immediately notify the Jinshan Guards and the Bingma Si Yamen, and ask them to rush to the Confucius Mansion to exterminate the rebels."
As soon as Gu Shou said this, the Sun family and his son looked at each other and smiled, and Sun Zhili nodded with satisfaction: "Well! This is how parents and officials in a place should behave. We must not be soft on those who are rebellious."
Gu Shou smiled bitterly when he heard this, hoping that after killing these troops from Shandong, the Qingzhou Guards would not come to trouble him. Just as he was about to call someone, a government official stumbled in and his voice was loud.
He changed his tone because of fear, "Sir, it's bad, there are Japanese pirates coming to Yangzhou City!"
