Chapter 17 There are four kinds of people who harm the people the most
The Yangzhou Cultural Association was held at Shouxi Lake. All the talented men in Fangyuan were interested in joining here for fun, which was the Zhen family in Jinling City and the four major families of Jia, Wang, Shi and Xue. Even though Fangyuan's common people had no literary talent, their hearts would make Shouxi Lake surrounded.
The lady in the official family was sitting on a high boat.
Influenced by texts such as talented men and beautiful women, too many talented men want to see their own beauty here, with a life experience and status, so that they can complete a counterattack and stand above millions of people.
Among this crowd, there was a man wearing a green cloth and a garlic nose. He was an 18-year-old man called Liu Er. He held a scroll in his hand and looked at the images in the drawing paper. They were all unseen in the literary society. In terms of appreciation, he was illiterate and could not read and write. The difference between superior paintings and inferior paintings can be seen at a glance.
This scroll was picked up by him in the literary meeting. On the rice paper, someone wrote four poems left and right. After picking up the scroll, Liu Er did not think about returning the scroll to the original owner, but was examining the people around him and looking for someone to sell it.
With this amount of money, it was enough for him to do something he had never done before.
"Oh? I'll take this scroll for me to take a closer look."
Zhen Baoyu had a slave on his side, and the place where he was located was the area occupied by the Zhen family in this scene. He looked down from a high point and saw the extraordinary picture in Liu Er's hand, so he reached out to ask.
As soon as Zhen Baoyu said that, a few slaves went downstairs and walked straight towards Liu Er.
Liu Erben had a ghost in his heart, and he picked up the scroll. At this time, he had the heart to sell paintings. When he saw the slave coming over fiercely, he was afraid first, so he turned around and ran towards the crowd.
"Kill talent! Hurry up, find him."
Zhen Baoyu waved his fan and shouted at the slave.
There are also several sisters in Zhen Baoyu's home, just like the Jia family's welcoming and hiding the spring. In addition, Zhen Baoyu also has his own good sister, just like Lin Daiyu in Jia Baoyu's heart, she is also a hostel at home.
This good sister loves poetry and essays, and that scroll looks extraordinary. When Zhen Baoyu came out, he wanted to record a few poems, buy a few scrolls, take them home and appreciate them carefully with his good sister.
Although the picture was not fully seen just now, the meaning was already extraordinary, and Zhen Baoyu was attracted by it.
After hearing Zhen Baoyu's words, the slave continued to chase Liu Er.
On the river surface.
Lin Dong, Daiyu, Qingwen, Zijuan and Xueyan sat inside the cabin, silently watching everything outside, watching Liu Er take the scroll away.
"You sent this scroll aside."
Seeing this, Qingwen said to Lin Dong: "This scroll did not fall into Zhen Baoyu's hands, but into the hands of ordinary people. He didn't recognize the content of this scroll. What do you think?"
The scrolls that Lin Dong draws casually are all top-notch painting techniques and renderings of light and light. The scrolls that have just been thrown out just now are not as good as all the collection scrolls in Jinling, Yangzhou. However, such scrolls are priceless in the hands of those who know the knowledge, and in the hands of those who don’t know the knowledge, that is waste paper.
"This scroll is meant to be given to Liu Er."
Lin Dong laughed and said, "Liu Er, a person from Liujia Village, the suburbs of Yangzhou, his parents died early, and only one sister followed him. Now this sister is in the water. Liu Er's mind is on his own sister. He is determined to marry his sister. He was sentenced not to do so before, but now he has evil intentions, haha."
Lin Daiyu covered her ears.
What I heard from Lin Dong before was the evil relationship between Jia Zhen and Qin.
Now I heard from Lin Dong again that it was my brother’s inappropriate intention towards his sister.
Lin Daiyu didn't feel curious about this, but was disgusted.
"So you want to borrow the Zhen family's hand and teach this Liu Er a lesson."
Qingwen only understood this.
"No, there is another person who has not been involved, and it's just right now."
Sitting in the cabin, Lin Dong is confident in his heart. The causal connection here is connected, and Lin Dong’s palms are touched slightly, so that things can be naturally formed under the causal connection.
The other person Lin Dong mentioned before had heard Lin Ruhai mention that he finally married the woman because he failed to insult the woman and could make money to settle the matter. His family also had a small amount of money and could be regarded as a prominent family. At this time, he was also in this venue. His surname was Niu and named Niu Ping, and his family was doing business.
This person is a typical example of "if you like it, go and strengthen your x"
Liu Er ran in the venue with a scroll. At this literary gathering, all the talented men were rich, even if they were poor disciples, they had money to charter a boat. Therefore, most of the ordinary people came to join in the fun. Ordinary people were afraid of trouble. Seeing that there was a chase here, they quickly made way for both sides. Liu Er ran and knocked Niu Ping's stall to the ground without paying attention.
Niu Ping refused to let Liu Er go at once. Liu Er held the scroll in his hand and didn't know what to do. The servants of the Zhen family followed, and the noisy three people gathered together.
The Zhen family is a prominent family in Jinling, but not many people know about it when they arrived in Yangzhou. But the servant of the Zhen family is a person who has always been domineering. The three people gathered together and there was a conflict of fists. At the moment, the Yangzhou grand event was so unbearable that there was no chaos. The servant came forward and arrested all the people from all sides and arrested them for the time being.
In such a mess, a pretty woman passed by the lakeside of the Slender West Lake, her face was innocence, looking at the rare open curfew and the lively scene of the night.
In the literary gathering, it is just a comparison of poetry, songs and essays.
There is a tall building on the edge of the river bank. Officials in Yangzhou and highly respected academy are all inside. They discuss and draw topics. The people below write poems together, and some people copy the poems into books, record such things and spread them.
This is an opportunity for talented men to become famous, and there are also "gunmen" in the homes of prominent families. At this time, a topic was raised, either prepared earlier, or written by "gunmen". Various poems rushed forward, but they also met the "literary prosperity era that officials above wanted."
Someone asked the title above, and Daiyu also wrote it silently below. This lively scene lasted for several hours. In the end, it was because of the quatrains that could be suppressed for a while, and the follow-ups could not suppress them, so the article would be dispersed.
After Zhen Baoyu returned to the villa, he learned from the Zhen family that the servants were arrested and were all locked up in the yamen. When he heard this, Zhen Baoyu was not concerned. He had always been a matter of saying hello and could be released.
However, recently, Yangzhou's salt inspector Lin Ruhai and the prefect were close friends. The two of them were in unison and wanted to do justice. The Zhen family's greeting did not work at all. Even if they said hello, the man never released him and was still detained, regardless of the Zhen family in Jinling.
In Niu Ping's family, Liu Er's family also heard that people were locked up in the yamen. The two families were also hurriedly operating, wanting to get the two of them out.
After dawn, Zhen Baoyu came to Yangzhou Prefecture. After informing him, someone came to greet him.
"Although this matter is small, the Yangzhou area is not as good as other places, and it does not leave favors. After the trial of this case, you should do whatever you want and do what you should do. Mr. Zhen doesn't have to worry too much."
The person who met Zhen Baoyu was the confidant of the prefect, and he spoke in a stern manner, blocking Zhen Baoyu's intention to say hello and let him go.
Lin Ruhai, the Yan Yan Censor of Yangzhou, was appointed by the emperor. After recovering from the serious illness, he and the Yangzhou prefect changed their past style, became honest and selfless, and operated around Yangzhou for the people, so they were supported by the people. The people below were not as good as they were, but they were all resentful, but after these two people were forced to suppress them, they put their positions in the right place and should not act like they had before.
"He got my order to get the scroll."
When Zhen Baoyu heard this, he said, "I came to this Yangzhou city and only participated in the literary meeting. Now it's time to go back. How can I leave him alone here? I only lose money. There is a hundred taels of silver here, so I let him go, so that I can rebel as scheduled, so as not to worry the two old people in my family."
The person on the other side immediately changed his expression and began to shook his face at Zhen Baoyu, angrily saying that this was a harm to him. In desperation, Zhen Baoyu did not dare to force himself to be arrogant. He changed the subject and said that it was to look at the servant. This was a matter of permission. The other party agreed immediately, which made Zhen Baoyu consciously fight back his face.
There are so many bad luck in prison, and as a noble person, it is also a taboo.
Before Zhen Baoyu came here, he changed into ordinary clothes and after he went out, he had to throw the clothes away. In prison, except for the injuries on his body, the servants were not seriously injured. According to the officers, their affairs were not serious. After the trial, they were mostly education. Zhen Baoyu walked out. When he arrived outside the door, he heard Liu Er's sister and Niu Ping's wife talking aside.
"In this world, officials are mostly officials, and those who truly harm the people are just officials, servants, relatives of officials, and servants of officials."
Niu Ping's wife said: "These people have no official responsibilities, but have official power. They only know how to make profits. They rely on grass and trees to pretend to be powerful. Once there is something wrong, they will knock out the bone marrow, which makes people swallow their pain. If it weren't for the official's cause in the case, how could there be so many now?"
Liu Er's sister echoed on the side and said, "Who said it was not? Fortunately, the law in Yangzhou is strict and follows the rules. If it were other places, it would be a rice jar for the Qing people and a soup and cauldron. If we fell into their hands, we could only let them slaughter."
Those who say these two sentences are unintentional, but Zhen Baoyu listens clearly, ashamed and ashamed.
He was a person like Jia Baoyu, and could only listen to women's words, and admired the beauty of the girl. At this time, when he heard what the two of them talked about, Zhen Baoyu realized that the knowledge of these two women was far above him, and what he said made him extremely ashamed.
Isn’t he the relative of the official, and the one who is in prison is also the servant of the official?
It turns out that he used to think that he used to be ordinary things, but he always hit the bones of people?
After thinking about it, Zhen Baoyu couldn't help but feel cold in his hands and feet.
