Chapter 79 Wear the same clothes and different lives
Someone took a picture of Wang's side: "I guess it's a photo back. Maybe the prince is like her relatives and friends. My mother-in-law is usually good. It's okay." Wang Bianjian was a 40- or 50-year-old aunt talking to him,
Grandma Ao looked calm beyond the king's imagination: he asked the king to help her sit up: "Who are you?"
How did the king answer: "Grandma Ao, I'm the king of Meyer's house."
Ao's mother-in-law could only have a sigh. She was originally a prosperous woman, but suddenly became a depressed old woman overnight, not only with nothing but also sick. It turns out that time travel doesn't all over again, and sometimes it's just a hardship.
Yesterday, Meyer Mansion saw the king's side, which was too similar to the man who took him to the water pool.
She shook her head doubtfully and said feebly, "I just feel that you are like an old friend." After saying that, she took a breath and seemed to be very tired.
Wang walked in and said to her, "Does my mother-in-law need my help?"
Ao looked at her carefully again and sighed, "Maybe I'm mistaken."
Wang said, "I can help Grandma Ao if she wants to find someone."
Grandma Ao smiled sadly. What can he do for him? Finally, she muttered, "There is water everywhere, and there is a deep pool in the middle of the night."
Jianshuitan! These three words crossed the king's heart like lightning.
"Grandma Ao, do you want me to be an old friend?"
Wang asked that he didn't think too much in his mind. He took off the black crystal, which might help the woman. Grandma Ao's hands dried up like a tree branch. The king held Ao's mother-in-law's hand.
On the contrary, Grandma Ao smiled effortlessly: "Let's rest in our lives. Maybe I really hope you are not."
Wang knew that what Ao's mother-in-law said would not be against her heart at this time. If she knew that the fate of the two people who traveled at the same time was so completely different, she was afraid that Ao's mother-in-law would die.
After saying that, Grandma Ao closed her eyes. Wang wanted to hand over the crystal to her. Grandma Ao's thin hand clenched her fist. Seeing this, Wang put his hand under Ao's mother-in-law's nose, and there was no breath between his mouth and nose.
Seeing that the crystal in his hand was still there, he sighed, or reincarnation was the best relief. What's good about carrying the memory of the previous life? Even if you travel through time, you don't know who it will be or where you are.
Wang walked out of the room and waved to the people outside. The neighbor's aunt hurried in to take care of it, took out a few taels of silver from her arms, and asked Yuexia to hand it over to the neighbor's committee to help bury it.
Wang was silent. He was lucky, but could he be so lucky all the time? Every period of life is an uncertain future.
Originally planned to leave in the first month of the lunar month, Wang was deliberately ahead of schedule. There were too many things to do, such as finding the half of the white crystal stone when the time was ripe. If the tea procurement goes well this time, you can have money to go to Xixia.
Does the king have no money now? There are more than ordinary people, but to do great things, these family backgrounds are just a drop in the bucket, not to mention a big project in Jincheng County that has not started. In addition to He Libo, Lu Shenyan and his wife, there are also five or six family maids, four or five maids, and coal miners in Jincheng County who have to spend money. It's faster for this kind of family to eat in the mountains.
It's a thousand miles away, but fortunately, I have the previous experience, and there is no need to take a detour this time. The affairs of the family are handed over to the rouge tiger. Although they are women, they are no worse than men.
Wang Bian specially brought Lu Shenyan. Lu Shenyan has always been smart and heartfelt. Since Wang Bian knew that He Libo's real name was Wanyan impeachment, although he had always been brotherly, he knew that sooner or later He Libo would leave. Moreover, Wang Bing prefers that He Libo will not leave, so that there may be no future Jin Guo.
I think so, but many things should be handled by Lu Shenyan as much as possible. Fortunately, He Libo is careless, and his mind has always been a little distracted recently.
This trip to Jianzhou was very smooth. After all, I went to see Cai Xiang directly. Wherever I went in the past, I saw a county magistrate most. Now I go out to contact with different levels of magistrates, and the value of the king is also different. Although it is not clear, it is also a procurement by order.
Cai Xiang is about 50 years old. He is loyal, upright, knowledgeable, and has profound calligraphy. He has a good reputation in both officialdom and local business in Jianzhou. During the New Year's Day meeting, Wang Bian also visited the capital, but Cai Xiang returned to Jianzhou a few days earlier than Wang Bian.
And Wang Bian, who came this time, mostly contacted the local tea merchants and consulted Cai Xiang's recommendation. According to the figures given by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he made a rough reservation. When the new tea came down, these tea merchants would naturally send the tea to Bianjing.
The king's side of this trip was very low-key. Maybe it was that Ao's mother-in-law's thing made Wang's side have another understanding of life. King Cai Xiang didn't want to intervene here. He just came to get familiar with it. In addition, he saw that the weather was getting warmer day by day, and he was thinking about Jincheng County, so he arranged Lu Shenyan to follow up the purchase of tea. He and He Libo ran west to Jincheng County.
This trip is farther away. Xiaoxing hurried to Jincheng County in mid-March. First, arrange a place to live in the county. He Liba went to find Yin Shijie and Yu Danian. Wang's side went to the county government to visit Cheng Hao first.
From afar, I saw the people standing at the gate of the county government. The king stepped forward and looked inside. There were also some people standing in the yard. It turned out that they were all watching the county magistrate's trial.
Wang walked to the courtyard and saw Cheng Hao sitting on the lobby of the county government, with two people kneeling in the hall.
He arched his hand like the people around him and asked, "Brother, do you know what case is under trial?" The man didn't look at the king. He only replied briefly, "Fight for the family property." Just look inside with your neck.
To say that the Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi brothers are well-known for their knowledge. During the Spring Festival, the school in the capital also posted a notice on the lecture date of the two-person school. Wang Zong secretly wanted to take a look at Cheng Hao's trial.
It turned out that in this case, a county citizen lived in his brother's house. Many years later, a lot of coins buried underground were dug up in this house. The son of the county citizen's brother believed that it was his father's house, and the two families went to the county government office to file a lawsuit.
The elder brother is no longer alive, and the two of them are kneeling in the hall to sue their uncles. After listening to the two people's words, the county residents who listened to the trial talked about it one after another: "Coins can't speak. Let's see how this adult breaks it?"
The side refuted: "The dead man can't speak, and no one can break it."
Some people said, "It should be my brother. If this brother has money, why don't he buy a house?
The more the county people talked, the more energetic they became. Others said, "It should be my brother's. They have been here for a long time, and there are some savings if they don't buy a house."
Your voice is getting louder and louder. It seems that everyone is the magistrate of the county. Even the plaintiff and the defendant who are kneeling there can't help looking back at the courtyard of the county government.
Cheng Hao patted the "silence" of the tree. The county people immediately calmed down. Wang is funny. Cheng Hao usually teaches like a gentleman, and now he is really majestic.
Cheng Hao asked his nephew, "Plaintiff, you said the coins were your father's. Do you know when your father buried the coins in the house?"
The nephew and the plaintiff replied, "Your Excellency, it's been 40 years."
Cheng Hao asked again, "How many years has the defendant borrowed your father to live in this house?"
The defendant's face was wronged: "It's been 20 years. This coin was buried not long ago. That day, my nephew came to my house. Later, he forced someone to dig it out, saying that it was buried by my brother.
Cheng Hao said with a gloomy face: "I didn't ask you!" What else did the defendant say, but he was cut off by the adult's words. The plaintiff looked at him with a little complacency on his face.
Cheng Hao asked, "Plaintiff, what the defendant said is the truth?" Listen to the plaintiff's confirmation. Cheng Hao immediately sent someone to take out the coins and put them in his hand to look at them repeatedly. Read and ask the plaintiff, "Have you ever lied to the plaintiff?"
The plaintiff said, "No!!"
Cheng Hao threw two coins in front of him: "Look carefully, now the government mints money. Due to the shortage of copper a few years ago, these iron coins have been minted for 40 years?"
The plaintiff was smart and heard that the tone was not right. He took the coin to look left and right and raised it to the light. Suddenly, he kowtowed and said, "The villain knows it's wrong."
The defendant's face was blank. Cheng Hao asked, "Defendant, the plaintiff has known his mistake. Do you want to sue him back?"
The defendant was honest: "Your Excellency, we are uncles and nephews, and I have borrowed this house for a long time. I won't sue."
When Cheng Hao saw them say this, he asked them to sign and announce their withdrawal. Everyone dispersed and Cheng Hao also walked down the lobby to the courtyard. He had already seen the king.
The county people who were walking out around talked about "the adult's judgment of the case." Why don't they do it? With that, the county people dispersed from the courtyard of the county government.
Cheng Hao has come to the king: "If there is no virtuous brother, he will arrive so soon." With that, he invited the king into the inner house.
Wang said, "There is not much time to delay in Jianzhou. As soon as I arrived here, I caught up with Bo Chun to conclude the case, but I learned it."
Cheng Hao laughed and said, "I also happened to remember seeing Zhang Zai in the capital. Speaking of you breaking the horse case, I had an idea. This silver ticket is marked, and this coin is the same."
The two laughed and came to the inner hall. Seeing that there were a lot of new books in the hall, Wang asked, "Is Bo Chun buying a new book again?" Cheng Hao said, "You came here at the right time. The school you funded has been completed. I went to the capital last Spring Festival and happened to go to the Guozijian. I have printed some. You see, these are all added to the school house.
With that, he took out a booklet from the cabinet, which was used by the king to sponsor the school house. He pointed and said, "Look, these are all accounts. Now I have set up books, and I am rich. I prepared these books and put them in the schoolhouse, and everyone in the county can read them in the schoolhouse.
The king closed the account and said, "Don't I trust Bo Chun? If it's not enough, I'll subsidize more.
Cheng Hao said with a smile, "It's not enough, it's rich enough. I just want to tell you that if part of it is used to subsidize those who have excellent grades but have poor families, as a road fee for the exam in Beijing, do you think it's okay?
Wang said with a smile, "Of course, it can't be better."
Cheng Hao also seemed to be very satisfied with his behavior. He said, "Recently, there is also a gentleman here who has learned outstanding talents. And I admire the virtuous brother very much. If I have time, I can meet him.
When Wang heard a talented person, he couldn't wait to know him immediately. At present, it is a way to use people. Moreover, who knows who can stand in the court in the future and readily agrees.
