Dong Xiaowan's heart was desolate, and the gentle and considerate impostor who had been in the past has disappeared. Suspicious, mean, narrow, savage like a stranger.
Dong Xiaowan's maid looked upset, but she didn't dare to say a word.
Seeing that Dong Xiaowan refused to tell the truth in the end, Mao Pijiang waved his hand and walked away with a pained expression on his face.
The maid wanted to chase, but she didn't dare, so she quickly helped Dong Xiaowan up.
Dong Xiaowan cried into tears, sitting by the bed, still crying.
The handmaid wiped tears to Dong Xiaowan and whispered softly: "Girl, don't cry, Miss Liu is coming tomorrow, we can't do this."
The "Miss Liu" in the maid's mouth also refers to Liu Ruye, a famous prostitute in the Qinhuai River. She and Qian Qianyi are very close. The two communicate often. They are already "friends of the year-end", and Qian Qianyi intends to marry Liu. As it is. This time in Beijing, Liu Ru was invited by Qian Qianyi to attend the Peony Flower Fair.
Dong Xiaowan wiped her tears quickly and said: "Sister Liu may arrive early. Go and prepare. Also, you are not allowed to tell Sister Liu about today's affairs."
The servant girl pursed her mouth and nodded slightly with a distressed look.
After Dong Xiaowan said this, thinking of Liu Rushi and Qian Qianyi, who was more than fifty, couldn't help but feel sad, and cried: "Why are our women fighting so hard..."
The handmaid hugged her and tried to comfort her, but there was no good way.
Dong Xiaowan is in agreement with Mao Pijiang and has already talked about marriage and marriage. Although it is only to accept concubines, for a woman in the dust, who joins the family of an official and a man who loves each other, what extravagance does she have
Even so, there are still many twists and turns that are difficult to achieve.
Bravely came out of Dong Xiaowan's show building, went straight to a familiar brothel, and no matter what people came to ask, he just drank and occasionally raised his voice and laughed.
However, at noon the next day, there was a circumstance in the capital of the romantic affair that pretended to be in love with a certain Beijing prostitute.
The literati saucy is not strange, but is passed on as a good talk.
But after Dong Xiaowan heard it, she cried again and fell ill all of a sudden.
Liu Ru arrived in Beijing at noon. He was furious when he heard about the incident, but he had no other choice. He had to write a poem to ridicule Mao Pijiang. Even though he didn’t name him, all the scholars from Jiangnan knew about it. Go to brave the border.
One of the sentences is:'Amorous foreign show female guest, widowed new science jinshiro'.
Mao Pijiang consciously has a hard time talking, and he does not have the same knowledge as a little girl, and hides in the brothel and the gentle homeland.
This seems to be true of the “being chaos and finally abandoning” and “being unreasonable”, which spread all over the capital for a time.
On the day before the announcement of the list, Zhou Yanru, Zhou Zheng, Qian Qianyi, and Li Banghua were in the small meeting hall to discuss and confirm the specific ranking.
Before the ranking, Zhou Yanru took the lead. He picked up the pen and ticked off the names of some people, a dozen in a row, and then pushed them to Zhou Zheng, saying: "These, I want to ticked off, you all look at them."
Zhou Yanru was surprised. He didn't expect Zhou Yanru to act so swiftly. He glanced straightly, and suddenly found that the names of some of the backbones of the Fushang, such as Hou Fangyu and Hou Fangyu, had been removed. Fang Yizhi and Chen Zhenhui remained.
Zhou Zheng watched for a while, thought about it, and removed some activists who were determined to oppose the reform, and then pushed them to Qian Qianyi. He smiled and said, "Look at Qian Ge."
Qian Qianyi took it over, and his brows suddenly frowned. Almost half of the Fushe members on the list were hooked, and he couldn't help but hesitate.
He really feels that the end of the Fushe is too big, and wants to suppress it, but it is not that the Fushe is hurt and can't do anything for him.
Before Qian Qianyi could speak, Zhou Yanru said indifferently, "Does Qian Ge know the matter of braving Xinjiang?"
They are talking about Mao Pijiang and Dong Xiaowan, but in fact they refer to the bald donkey scolding the monk. The matter between Qian Qianyi and Liu Ruye, no one in Daming didn't know, it was passed down as "beautiful talk", but when it came to the first floor of the imperial court, it was not so beautiful to talk about it among big people.
In the first place, with a low base, who can value a prostitute? Putting on the title of a famous prostitute not only makes them obscure, but makes them even more disgusting. Secondly, the ancestral system does not allow officials to marry lowly women, let alone a cabinet minister.
Qian Qianyi obviously heard Zhou Yanru's warning, his expression stiffened, and he did not speak.
Zhou Zheng smiled in his eyes and said in a flat tone: "I won't talk about the glamorous things that pretended to be in Xinjiang. In his policy question, the whole article refers to Sang cursing Huai. He is lashing out at the imperial court's reforms, which is tantamount to beating me and waiting. What's the use of face?"
As soon as Zhou Zheng spoke, Qian Qianyi's hope of struggling was completely cut off.
Qian Qianyi silently pushed the list to Li Banghua.
Li Banghua didn't hear the words of the'two weeks', and took a look and saw the person who hadn't moved him. He said: "The official has no objection."
Zhou Yanru nodded and said, "Then record the top three."
When the emperor was young, they naturally decided on the top one.
The so-called top one is the top three in the imperial examination, including the champion, second-best, and Tanhua.
In fact, the Hanlin Academy had already arranged a ranking before it was sent, but it just needed the cabinet's final confirmation. Naturally, the cabinet also has the right to change and delete.
Four people discussed it, and finally the first one was determined as: Wei Zaode, Ge Shizhen, and Gao Eryan, none of them were reintegrated.
Then came the top two, fifty-eight people, 17 people elected by the re-community, 20 people from the south, and the rest from the north.
The top three, two hundred and eighty-seven people, the number of people in the reintegration group, as many as 96 people, and nearly two hundred people in the south!
This is the result of the imperial court and the cabinet deliberately balancing the north and the south, otherwise there will be more in the south!
At the level of the cabinet, unless it is the top three, there is no need to compete for the others. A few hundred places are enough for them to divide.
Seeing that Zhou Yanru had settled down, he took up the first assistant and said: "Seal it, and the list will be published tomorrow."
The so-called Zhang Bang is to put the top three people on the wall of the imperial city and show them publicly.
Zhou Zheng, Qian Qianyi, and Li Banghua nodded in response.
The four people left the small living room, Li Banghua and Qian Qianyi left, and Zhou Zheng and Zhou Yanru walked side by side, still talking about things.
Zhou Yanru held his hands behind his back, hunched over his waist, and said with a smile: "I have let me out of the top three. Should I give the ones I want?"
Zhou Zheng also smiled and said: "The four servants of the six departments, Fengyang Mansion, Anqing Mansion, Taiyuan Mansion and other 13 prefectures, I have no objection."
Zhou Yanru's expression moved slightly and said, "So many?"
Zhou Zhengdao: "About Nanzhili, Yuanfu can't fight with me anymore."
Nanzhili, that is Daming's important place of money and food, more important than the capital!
Zhou Yanru hesitated and said with a smile: "Well, no matter how big or small the officials in Nanzhili are, I won't intervene, but you will allow me some money and food."
"800,000, 800,000 per year." Zhou Zheng said casually.
The total amount of money and grain from Nanzhili to the capital each year is about 1.8 million, excluding fire consumption and various damages, it is only about 150.
Eight hundred thousand is equivalent to half.
Although Zhou Yanru was dissatisfied, Zhou Zheng did give him a lot of benefits. He immediately smiled and said, "800,000 is 800,000, it's enough for me."
Zhou Zheng paced, glanced at Zhou Yanru, and said, "Yuanfu, have you decided to take action against Fushe?"
Zhou Yanru smiled slightly, his expression was flat, and his gaze said coldly: "Fushe is too shameful. You must give a warning."
Zhou Zheng didn't care about this. Zhou Yanru and Qian Qianyi generally said that they were the backers behind the restoration of the society, and they were also regarded as dog biting. (End of this chapter)
