Cao Herui didn't expect it to be like this. He knew how difficult it would be to want the money owed. Only that profit would make a monthly profit. People could not afford to pay it back, but his wife actually said that he could pay it back. , How much wages does this cost? What did this family do.
Cao Herui's face sank as soon as he thought of this, he looked at his wife and then at the little concubines, and asked, "Did Zhang Zhong let you go to the fireworks field? Otherwise, where did you get so much money?"
These words shocked everyone, and the eldest lady quickly said, "Master, how can there be any place for fireworks? There are all work here, even if a place for fireworks is created, no one will go, sir, It’s not like that. We give classes to others, but we just talk about things they don’t know. This gives a lot of money.
The same is true for the people in the family. The gardener has a lot of money. It is the sum of all these money that pays off the debt little by little. Master, what good news do you bring with you this time? "
"Oh, that's the case. It's just telling others about things? Isn't there something wrong with the Zhang family's head? You are paid for such things, so you can't stop telling them, right?"
When Cao He Rui heard that it was not the case, he was relieved. As his wife said, everyone in Luzhou is busy now, and there is no time to go to any fireworks place, not even such a place.
But he just didn't know how Zhang Zhong would give the family labor money. As long as his family members are being bullied here, they have to endure it. I really can't figure it out.
The eldest lady took Cao Herui to the bathing place and said, "Master, they said, giving us such artificial money is not for us, but for the teacher. The more useful the things taught to others, the more the teacher should gain. Many, otherwise, how can a teacher who has no food teach others
Of course, they also emphasized that there must be teacher ethics, otherwise such a person is not worthy of being a teacher. I teach the most seriously, so the more money I take, in fact, I also learned a lot, that Zhang Zhong’s Mrs. Zhang Wangshi is really amazing, knowing many things I don't know. "
"Well, as long as there is no embarrassment, you are fine. It seems that Zhang Zhong is a gentleman. It is because I want to be bad, and the future will be better. This time I took a lot of flying money back, except for the money back. , There is still a part left, you have already paid back some, then there is more left."
Cao Herui felt a bit hot on his face. He always thought that Zhang Zhong would bully his family vigorously. He didn't expect Zhang Zhong to do that at all. Instead, he took care of him. Although he didn't have any spare money, he still had a good one. There is no shortage of food and clothing, so that people in the family can be so radiant.
This is where Cao Herui and the old lady went to take a bath together, doing something while washing. At the same time, Cao Herui also told about the past things, including letting someone have a fight in front of the Yamen, and when they came back Tell the lady about everything.
Basically the same is true for the other two families. When they are able to meet again, the family is also worried for the master when they are happy, especially when talking about the wind, everyone's eyes are wide, even if they know that the master is okay. It's a child, but there are still waves of fear.
The news that the three people came back soon reached the Zhang family, and Zhang Xiaobao sighed helplessly. He really wanted to make these individuals suffer more, but when the three came back, things had changed.
"Xiaobao, think about a solution again, otherwise, if they recover, wouldn't they have the energy to do things again, and they are still guilty, and they can't be let go so easily."
After Wang Juan knew about this, he asked Zhang Xiaobao to continue to think of ways to deal with the people from the three families. The one with the surname Liu was fine. After all, he surrendered at a critical time. No matter what, at least he really did it when organizing personnel. Very serious and very well done.
Zhang Xiaobao rubbed his temples and said, "This matter may not work. They were guilty before, but there is no evidence. If you want to sentence them, you have to find evidence. The thing that left the post, the sentence cannot be judged. What's more, when they come back, they must have obtained money, and they can't threaten them in debt.
Wait, just wait, and see if they will do what they did before. If they still don’t change their minds, then find out what’s wrong. Now even if they count them, they won’t be fooled. I guess. , They will have some money left, and do nothing for stability. Then, my tricks will be useless. How can people be deceived if they are not greedy? "
"The crime, they have been away for such a long time, and the sentence is not serious, at least their official position will be taken down." Wang Juan just didn't want to let them off easily, and wanted to make a fuss in this regard.
Zhang Xiaobao also thought about this, but since the three of them have returned from Qinzhou, they think they will use some price in exchange for the stability of the three of them. The price is not important. What is important is an attitude issue, and the three of them do this. The conviction of leaving the post is meaningless, and it's not unreasonable.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaobao suggested: "This is the first thing to do. You can't let the three of them go too easily, but you can't use that thing as an excuse. First let them pay back the money, then lock it up and beat it. What other people see is finally letting them out.
It depends on what my dad thinks. If my dad wants someone in his hands, then he’ll finish the beating and let them do things. The more tired the better, they will do it anyway. Don’t worry if you can’t do it. If you have to prepare to kill them, then use that excuse to report it layer by layer, write out the excerpts, and let the court judge it. I think it's useless. "
Zhang Xiaobao has long thought about the things in it, it's not that simple, especially the Ning family, as long as they find a reason, they said that they took the people away and asked them to go over there to help the disaster relief. They sent someone to say hello, but they didn’t tell the news here when something happened. It’s a big deal that the Ning’s people took the guilt, so they came to punish someone by themselves. The above clearly knew how, but for the sake of The stability over there will not clean up the Ning family.
Wang Juan pouted her mouth, and she had no good way to make the three of them unlucky. Just like Zhang Xiaobao said, if people don’t care about the money outside and keep the leftovers, they can really survive. past.
Zhang Zhong really received a letter from Ning Cishi here, and just as Zhang Xiaobao guessed, Ning Cishi took all the responsibilities, and hoped that Zhang Zhong would handle it fairly and take care of what Zhang Zhong did here. I also boasted a lot, and also said the contents of the papers submitted.
After reading the letter, Zhang Zhong knew that the crime was not easy to convict, and he took it all over. If you really want to write a booklet and pass it upwards, you must bring the Qinzhou provincial governor with you. Then the Ning family will dredge a little bit. , This is not enough, the most important thing is to do this, can only let the Ning family busy, unable to touch the roots, but also aggravated the hatred.
This is something Zhang Zhong didn't want to see, and at the same time he really wrote about it, so if the Ning family is busy, the energy it puts on the local people will be less, and the people's life will definitely not be better.
Of course, Zhang Zhong didn’t know that after Ning Cishi wrote a book that praised him, in order to shirk responsibility, he wrote another book that pushed the crime on him. The two booklets would be sent to the court one after the other, and they would rather The family also began to prepare to do something with him, especially in the economic aspect.
The three of Cao and Rui did not get what happened to Zhang Zhong, but they were locked up first, saying that they would wait until the question was clear before releasing. With this opportunity, the three of Cao and Rui paid back the money, and the three families were all at ease. Coupled with the fact that people in the family have been teaching others, these days are not only not sad, but they are getting better and better.
Zhang Xiaobao can't devote so much energy to the calculations, so he can only put it aside for a while, and look at the performance of the three people, and put more energy on the basic culture here.
Not only find teachers to teach people here in the evening school, but also those schools that need people, especially teachers. How can the people here be able to be teachers in learning? When Zhang Xiaobao was worrying about where to find a teacher, Wang Juan said to him:
"Xiaobao, I think there should be an academy out here, especially in Guangzhou Mansion. Now there are quite a few people giving lectures over there. It's better to..."
"Yeah, I'm here to get people from over there. Grandpa Bi is still here, just to be the principal again. Let's go and find Grandpa Bi. What do you have for dinner?"
Zhang Xiaobao became happy when he heard it. These days, he and Wang Juan have not spared time to find the old man to study. The old man also knows that they follow the busy schedule and do not bother them. That’s how they think of paying it back. There is a man of great ability staying here.
Two people came to the old man's yard, but no one was found. The next person said that he had gone to the nursing home. The old man Zhang, the old housekeeper of Zhang Jiuling's house, was also there. The two went to the nursing home again.
Regardless of the size of the water, most of them were taken away by the river. There was nothing in the house here, and the resident could continue to live. When the two came to the nursing home, Bi Gou and Old Man Zhang were playing billiards there. Play, this billiard is amazing.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan still can’t make such good materials to make this billiard ball. The case is easy to handle. As long as it is made with fine plush, the problem of the ball can only be extravagant. The ivory is used. It's really not cheap.
The cue is simple, just find wood to make it, and add talcum powder, and a billiard entertainment activity has started. This thing has already sent a few sets to the capital by boat, and the emperor will have it at that time. As for How other people divide it depends on what the emperor meant.
The billiards are crackling, but not many can get into the bag. The two old men are actually playing in a dumb way. Although there are rules, they are divided according to suits. Then whoever will put their suits first If the ball is scored, whoever wins, how can two people adjust the position of the ball
Anyway, it is to use the cue ball to vigorously hit the color ball that he should play, and the result is often that the ball on his side is not down, and the opponent's ball is hit down.
Don’t look at Old Man Zhang’s original ability, but this is not the same as playing. When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan came in, they saw Old Man Zhang cheating. His shot only touched the edge of the white ball. He didn't move much distance at all. He wanted to continue to make another shot, but Old Man Bi disagreed, and reasoned with Old Man Zhang there.
The other old men and old ladies watched the excitement over there, and no one stopped them. It was all a matter of play anyway, and it was really good to be noisy.
"Hey... I mean you, someone else touched me just now, and I accidentally hit the white ball with my stick. It was not what I wanted to hit at all. How could you just say it was me? Hit it?"
Old man Zhang wanted to get the ball back to where it was just now, but Old Man Bi said that he didn't do anything, so he found an excuse.
"Don't talk nonsense. Just now, there was no one behind you so close, so how could you meet you? Besides, even if you meet you, then your rod shouldn't be stretched out so long, it's clearly yourself. Try hard, do you think it looks like this?"
The old man Bi did not give in at all, and he also asked other people to prove that these old men and old ladies were afraid that things were not messy enough. They were divided into two groups, one said that someone touched, the other said that no one touched. Can't figure it out.
"Old man Bi, you've been so many officials anyway, and you finally retreated from the position of Shang Shu. Why didn't you see how you were when you were an official? Isn't it just a fight? Couldn't it be allowed? Let me? Ah? I'll hit it again and put the ball back."
Old Man Zhang was rubbing his club with talcum powder, and he had to ask Old Man Bi to get the ball back as if he was softened. It was all about it. It stands to reason that Old Man Bi gave a hand, but who Knowing that Old Man Bi did not let go, he held the ball in his hand and said:
"What I'm an official and now are two different things. I don't have any rules to make a circle. If you really put the ball back, then others will not abide by the rules in the future. No, it's me. Don't stand in there. When the housekeeper was so unruly?"
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan had already come to the front at this time. They found it very interesting to hear what the two said. It seems that this old man would sometimes even care about it.
Old Man Bi happened to see the two people, and immediately seemed to have found support. He said to the two people: "Xiaobao, Cuckoo, you two, should you let Old Man Zhang fight again? I accidentally touched the ball and I don't want to admit it now.
Let’s talk about it, you two. If you say you want him to fight once, then let it. If you don’t let it, then I will do it. This thing must not be settled so easily. This is something you two figured out. , The words of the two of you are the most accurate. "
Old man Zhang also saw Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and said the same: "Yes, what is this rule? I accidentally touched it, so why can't I fight it again? It's all for fun, why be so strict? You two talk about it. what to do?"
The game of billiards was created by Zhang Xiaobao. He played well and naturally knew the rules, but he didn’t expect that Old Man Zhang wanted to follow the rules. Now he was embarrassed. Wang Juan didn’t know what to do next. Who.
The people around looked at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, wanting to see how they would judge this matter.
"Xiaobao, speak up, you wrote the rules of this game." Wang Juan didn't know what to do, and asked Zhang Xiaobao to make up his mind. Zhang Xiaobao smiled bitterly. "I made the rules, but this is something. It's not within the rules, but Grandpa Zhang is not prepared to follow the rules."
Zhang Xiaobao didn’t directly say what should be done there, but he talked to Wang Juan in a louder voice. With his words, Old Man Zhang’s face couldn’t hang anymore. Zhang Xiaobao’s meaning was very clear. If you want to play according to the rules, you have to look for it. If you don’t follow the rules, you can do whatever you want.
"Okay, okay, let you fight, let you fight." The old man Zhang finally stopped being strong. He felt that this was not good for the two children, so he gave up the place.
Old man Bi was very happy. He looked at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan and said, "Yes, some things must be done according to the rules, otherwise, it is easy for people to follow the rules. As a result, there are no buyers and sellers. Rules, there will be more disputes, and if some officials have no rules and do not follow the law, will the world be in chaos?"
Zhang Xiaobao didn’t expect that he helped once. Old Man Bi started talking about his father’s arrival. In fact, it was mainly because he sometimes didn’t follow the rules, such as killing. He has to pass to the upper levels.
It seems that many people are dissatisfied with this matter, but it seems that when my father first came here, he needed to stand up, and those individuals really deserved to die, so he just opened one eye and closed one eye. After that, pay attention and don’t leave too much. Many handles.
In fact, Zhang Xiaobao understood that Grandpa Bi deliberately ordered his father, and also let him know that some things cannot be done too much.
In fact, there are a lot of things that do not follow the rules at all. Let alone the Zhang family, it is impossible for the other aristocratic families, even the emperor, to follow the rules completely, but there is a problem of degree. .
Zhang Xiaobao nodded and said, "I will tell my dad about this when I go back. When my dad is in the school, he can talk to the students about this issue. People can't limit themselves without restricting themselves. Mustang, it’s easy for things to happen, so you have to grasp the relationship."
Old Man Bi is satisfied now. He is really afraid that Zhang Family's things are done this time, and he wants to continue to do it in the future. In that case, even if Zhang Zhong has done more, it will be unbearable.
Seeing Zhang Xiaobao said this, I knew that Zhang Xiaobao had understood what he meant, and sighed that when Zhang Xiaobao was smart, he also wanted to protect Zhang family as much as possible and not let Zhang Zhong go to the side of the road.
After that, Old Man Bi began to play, and he slapped it out. In the end, Old Man Zhang laughed.
"Okay, this is a good shot. Thank you, Old Man Bi, for helping me score one. I let you play again, maybe you can score another one for me."
Old man Zhang is happy. I was scared that Old Man Bi would hit the ball that was about to go into the hole below. Now it’s alright. He hit his ball into that hole, stupefied to give the ball that should have been scored. Squeezed out.
Old Man Bi felt very depressed, but he still motioned to Old Man Zhang to fight, and looked at Old Man Zhang's proud look and said, "Be careful, I am on the ball left on the table. Seeing you are pitiful, I will help you score one. , I won’t show mercy after a while."
"You have to be merciful, otherwise you will hit my ball again later, wouldn't it be hard to say, hahahaha..."
Old man Zhang actually shook his head, causing the people around him to laugh. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan looked at each other. Unexpectedly, the two old men would be so fun to get together.
There were only six balls left on the table. Seven balls were counted as white. The two players played for two quarters of an hour before it was over.
Zhang Xiaobao watched the ball on the table being repositioned, and suddenly said, "Grandpa Bi, Grandpa Zhang, let me play a game with you two. You two will play the same ball, and I will play the same ball by myself. Individuals take turns. In other words, if you two fight twice, I only fight once. How about?"
While talking, Zhang Xiaobao brought a stool from the side. He was too short to fight without stepping on the stool.
The two old men summed up and nodded in agreement. They thought that there was absolutely no problem with two people hitting one. As a result, after Old Man Bi directly blasted the ball with one shot, the two never touched the ball again, and they were hit by Zhang Xiaobao. It was cleared.
This is too easy for Zhang Xiaobao. Someone blasted the ball directly. The most important thing is that the hole is bigger than normal. I'm afraid that the old man and the old lady won't be able to make it through with bad eyesight. It's cheap Zhang Xiaobao, the hole is bigger, it will be much easier, not to mention this hole is half bigger.
Zhang Xiaobao was able to use various strokes such as reversing, frontal, left-right, and so on. Maybe it was in good condition. He also added a stool and shot a gun. Seeing The ball jumped up and fell into the pocket on the case, and the round was over.
The two main old men and the people around them were stunned. Wang Juan also admired him very much. He didn't expect Zhang Xiaobao to have this hand. It seems that he should ask carefully when he went back. Ask if Zhang Xiaobao had done a gambling before. .
