Chapter 184 Ji Sheng

  Ji Sheng.

  Students in Shangyang City.

   "Gentlemen are ashamed of speaking profitably. The imperial court promulgated this law. This is the foundation of the cholera community. Several elders have already written a letter. Tomorrow, I will go to the Yamen to ask for orders and let the county magistrate punish these rude arrests."

   Ji Sheng bid farewell to several classmates at the door of his house, still very angry in his words.

   "What Brother Ji said is true, we will meet again at the Yamen tomorrow."

   "Okay, Ji Sheng is a role model for my generation, tomorrow I will go to the Yamen to ask for orders."

   Saying goodbye to several classmates at the gate of his house, Ji Sheng walked home, but as soon as he entered the door, he found that the atmosphere in the house was not right.

   There are guests at home, and the second uncle has come to the house, but the second uncle is sad, and is sitting in the yard sighing at the moment, and his mother is carefully accompanying him.

   "Second Uncle, what happened?" Ji Sheng asked with concern.

   "Ji Sheng, you are back, your second uncle was fired by the workshop today."

   "I was fired from the workshop, but what mistakes did I make?"

"No mistake, the shopkeeper of the workshop said that Ji's family produced a great scholar, but a few days ago they smashed up the shop of the workshop in the city, and the owner knew that I was the uncle of that great scholar, so he gave me resigned."

  The second uncle was acting weird, but Ji Sheng was stunned.

I heard from my mother that my second uncle did not farm anymore last year, but entered a ceramics workshop, and his income in a year was five times more than the original farming income. Could it be that the workshop I broke down was the one where my second uncle worked ?

  Ji Sheng couldn't remember, that day he and his classmates smashed the shop angrily when they saw it, as if they smashed a ceramics shop.

  Yes...but what does this have to do with my second uncle?

   Isn't this implicated?

"The shopkeeper said, my nephew is so good, so why do I still need to come to work? I think so, so I came to your house, nephew, you are so good, second uncle will work for you, and you will give second uncle half a month's work." The salary is enough, but the workshop is paid every month."

  Ji Sheng was overwhelmed by his uncle, and the family was struggling to provide for him to study alone. How could there be money to hire a second uncle?

   "Second uncle, this... this is the conspiracy of those businessmen. You don't know that many gentry and gentlemen in our city are already preparing to submit a letter to the court. I..."

"Stop it, I'm just a vulgar person who has never read a book. I don't know the big principles you said. I only know that the shopkeeper of the workshop did not default on my wages. There is not even a bucket of grain left."

  Ji Sheng found out that he could not speak against his second uncle who had not studied, which made him hate those businessmen even more, but he would not just shrink back like this. He would still go to the Yamen to ask for orders tomorrow.

   "Is Mrs. Ji there?"

  A woman came in at the door.

   "Aunt Qin, come and sit down quickly."

  Ji Sheng’s mother saw the woman coming very enthusiastically, and was about to ask her to sit down, but the woman took a purse and handed it to Mrs. Ji, and said, “Mr.

   "Why, but I can't cut it well?" Ji was a little anxious. She cut clothes threads for other tailors every month at home, and she also had half a penny a month, which was just enough to subsidize her family.

"The shopkeeper said that you have a powerful son who has smashed his shop. Since your son looks down on the businessman so much, why do you want to earn the businessman's money? This is your salary last month. , I left it for you."

  The woman left her purse behind, glanced at Ji Sheng who was at the side, snorted coldly, turned and left, leaving Ji Sheng standing there in embarrassment.

   "Mom, I..."

   "It's okay, if it's gone, it's gone. Mother just wants to be idle, and she is idle. It seems that God wants mother to rest and enjoy happiness."

  Ms. Ji comforted her son, but in her heart she was thinking of rushing to ask other shops tomorrow if they needed to live.

   "Hmph, sister, I'm afraid you won't enjoy such a happy life."

  Ji Sheng's second uncle snorted coldly, and at this moment, Ji Sheng's eldest brother came back.

   "Brother."

Ji Sheng greeted him, but what puzzled him was that his eldest brother ignored him this time. If it was the past, every time he came back from school, his eldest brother would be very happy. After all, he is the only student in the family. In the words of the eldest brother, the future of their Ji family depends on him.

   "I asked you to go to the vegetable market to buy a fish. Your second uncle came to the house as a guest. Why did you come back empty-handed?" Ji asked puzzled seeing her eldest son's gloomy face.

   "A fish costs more than one or two, I can't afford it."

   "It's more than one tael, how can it be so expensive?" Ji Sheng exclaimed from the side after listening to his elder brother's words.

   "It's not that there are some people who don't study hard and go to make trouble. When other fish sellers see me, they won't sell fish to me. If they want to sell it, they will sell it for one tael."

   "How can this be?" Ji Sheng was very angry, and these traders were too much.

"It's not just the fish sellers. I thought that since the fish is so expensive, I would buy other ones, but the same goes for other vendors, including rice noodles. They sold me more than ten times, and the half-cloth I was carrying money, now I can’t even buy a bag of rice noodles.”

   This time, Ji Sheng stopped talking.

   "Okay, I won't stay with your family anymore, sister, as a brother, I have to say, study hard, don't do something inexplicable, and live a good life is the ability."

  The second uncle Ji Sheng also left after dropping these words, the Ji Sheng brothers and the Ji family were left in the whole yard.

   "I'm going to cook for you, you two brothers should be hungry."

   Seeing that the two sons were silent, Mrs. Ji quickly changed the topic, got up and walked towards the kitchen.

   "Mother, our house is out of rice." Brother Ji Sheng watched his mother walk into the kitchen, and couldn't help shouting outside the door.

   A few seconds of silence.

  The next moment, Mrs. Ji came out of the kitchen, pointed at Ji Sheng and cursed: "Go back to school tomorrow and study hard. If you dare to participate in some messy things again, you will never ask your family for a penny in the future."

   Ji Sheng: …

   Early the next morning.

   "Brother, if any classmates come to see me at the door, just tell them that I caught a cold yesterday, and I really can't get out of bed today."

  In the bedroom, Ji Sheng was lying on the hospital bed, his lips were pale, his body was covered with two layers of quilts, and his whole body was still shivering. The doctor was taking his pulse.

  Yesterday he had been thinking hard about how to have a reason not to go to the Yamen to ask for orders today, and finally he came up with a solution, which was to get sick.

  Although the coldest time has passed, the night in early spring was still very cold. Ji Sheng wore thin clothes and blew the cold wind in the yard all night. He even took a cold shower because he was afraid that the effect would be slow.

  I can't show timidity in front of my classmates. Being sick is the best reason.

   For this disease, at least ten days and a half months of recuperation is required, so that he can avoid the invitations of his classmates.

  Brother Ji Sheng listened to his younger brother's words, and asked in confusion: "Where is your classmate? I just came in from the door, and there is no one outside the door?"

   "There is no one, this is impossible. We made an appointment yesterday to go to the Yamen to ask for orders today, so the time should have come by now."

  Ji Sheng was a little puzzled, and then continued: "Maybe some of my classmates have something to delay, or brother, please go to the homes of these classmates and tell them about the situation of my brother."

   "According to the old man, those classmates of yours should have also contracted the cold and fell ill."

The old doctor who saw Ji Sheng suddenly opened his mouth. Seeing Ji Sheng's puzzled expression, he stroked his beard and said, "Before I came to your house today, I have already visited several families. They are all the family's Shulang last night. Infected with the wind and cold, presumably it should be your classmate."

   Ji Sheng: …

  Brother Ji Sheng: …

  …

  …

  The anti-businessman disturbance in Shangyang County dissipated in just half a month.

  Leaving those students, although the gentry were dissatisfied, their family had a great career, and they dared not rush to the front to confront the court, not to mention that they themselves ran many shops and belonged to vested interests.

  At the same time, due to the influence of Shangyang City, the entire Canglan County began to slowly accept the policy of the court.

   "My lord, are you sending it to the capital?"

   "Well, send it to Anfu in the capital."

  Lin Ye handed Uncle Xu a letter. This letter was addressed to An Zisheng. There was only one sentence in the letter: Shangyang City Model.

  If An Zisheng is smart enough, he will learn from his experience in solving Shangyang City's anti-business methods.

   "I'm going to retreat recently, so don't bother me if you have nothing to do."

   After handing the envelope to Uncle Xu, Lin Ye decided to return to the different world. This time he stayed in the different world for two months, which was considered to be a longer stay.

   Now that the turmoil is over, it is time to return to the real world.

  …

real world.

  The day after Lin Ye returned to the real world, he received a message asking for help.

  The news was sent by his college classmate Liu Shuming.

   "Is Lin Ye here? I have encountered a difficult matter and need help urgently."

  Seeing the news, Lin Ye directly called back.

   "Lin Ye, it's great that you're here. I've encountered something here, and I'm not sure I need your help."

   "What's the matter?" Lin Ye was a little curious. Liu Shuming had already entered the hall, enshrined the weasel, and became a disciple of the horse. That weasel is not weak.

   "There was a woman who was haunted by a ghost and came to her door. My Baojiaxian said that the ghost was more powerful, and it might not be an opponent."

   "Then why don't you ask Consultant Li?"

   "Consultant Li? I was looking for him, but my family Baojiaxian said that Consultant Li is useless." Liu Shuming's words were more tactful. Baojiaxian's original words were that finding him is not as useful as bringing a black dog.

   "The location is in Qushi?"

   "No, that woman is from Yuzhang City."

   "I'll buy a ticket now."

  Yuzhang, the capital of Jiangxi Province, Lin Ye didn't expect Liu Shuming to become a horse disciple not long ago, and the business was expanded, and they all went to the provincial capital.
