C19 (1/2)

Wang Xi'er was 13 years old, but she was actually 12 years old. His father had joined the army because his family was poor, and Zhan Mo had died eight years ago. Only the widower and the widow were left. Last night, thunder rumbled, and his mother Lee, who had been washing the clothes of a passing merchant for a living, was struck by lightning while collecting clothes in the middle of the night.

Today, there were four rumours that Lee had failed to follow the rules of a woman, thus she was able to obtain divine retribution.

Lee was known for her widowhood, and her father's 2 mu of land could be preserved. Now, his reputation was ruined by the lightning strikes. Before daybreak, the clan's elders had come to his doorstep to exonerate Wang Xi'er of her family under the pretext of heavenly retribution. Two acres of land and two acres of land had also been taken away from him.

The purchasing power of these ten taels of silver was quite high. It was said that they could hang out in a whorehouse for two to three months. A pound of six hundred grams in the Ming Dynasty is equal to sixteen taels of silver. A tael of silver is about thirty-seven grams, so don't think a tael of silver is too little.

Zhu Yisu was worried that his son would be cheated. He had heard many stories about him selling his son's body to bury his father. He told Zhao Qi to pay 10 taels of silver to buy a servant girl for Zhu Hongzhao if it was true.

Zhao Qi carried 5 taels of silver, which weighed almost 3 Jin, every day. Bringing the two servant over, he paid a total of ten silver coins out of the group of people, causing the surrounding merchants who were haggling to feel bitter.

Young Master's eyesight is still good, Zhao Qi sized up the oval face and the pretty Wang Xi'er. She brought two servant s to buy the coffins and ask for people to dig the graves. It took them half a day to bury the poor widow Lee.

During this period of time, Wang Xian`er's money was spent. At the same time, he also signed a contract. When he arrived at Shan Yin County, he would go to the government office to get an official contract and exchange her citizenship for his slave's.

The one thing to explain was that these ten silver taels, no matter how much was left over, were all for Wang Xian`er. If she saved up enough money in the future, she could redeem herself. It was just like many lorette, who, despite having the money to redeem herself, continued to carry the name of Music Division and muddled along.

On the evening of the same day, there were still no people from Zhixian and county officials in Shanyin County. It was said that many places near the Sang Gan River were affected by the floods and needed to be dealt with. Zhu Yisu and his son could only continue to wait. The station was burnt down, so they could only rent a small house to stay in.

This inn was not part of the imperial government's plan. Rather, it was the better location for this village. All the travelling merchants from the north to the south would pass by here. Most importantly, this place was located between the Mountain Yin County and Yanmen County. From the two places, it just so happened to be in the evening, and it was the most suitable place to stay.

Hence this station, specialized in the service of passing merchants, bringing the county a point of income.

Zhu Hongzhao read like a candle at night, nodding from time to time as he chuckled. Occasionally, his eyes would glance at Wang Xi'er, calculating in his heart, feeling that he had lost.

This local handwritten book said that some gorgeous loli had only sold it for four taels of silver. Wang Xian`er's appearance in her previous life was similar to Class 9's Class 2 and not as beautiful as this woman in the books.

Wang Xi'er, who was dressed in plain clothes, was half in joy and half in grief. She was also reading a book by the side. She did not know many words.

She mourned the tragic death of her mother, and the cold-blooded and ruthless clan. It was cold-blooded to think that a land deed could slander her mother's reputation. But in the matter of the divine punishment, even if the neighbors wanted to stand up for her, they still had to consider it.

Joy is that the sky does not end the road, met a reasonable, for the peace of the host family. Zhu Hongzhao saw that she could even write 7788, so he let her read the book. The servant girl had her own culture, so it was also something worth showing off.

”Young Master, Young Master Wang Dunsheng has come to pay his respects with wine and food. He said that he wanted to thank Young Master for saving his life.”

Zhao Qi knocked on the door and entered. In just two short days, both Zhao Qi and servant had changed their names and addressed Zhu Hongzhao as Young Master. Meanwhile, Zhu Honglin was called Young Master. He couldn't possibly be called Young Master, right?

Putting down the book, Zhu Hongzhao covered it without leaving a trace. Half of his face revealed the words' vase plum '. He said in confusion, ”This person left early and he's back again at night. It's really weird.”

He lowered his head to hide the change in his expression. He could not make Wang Dunsheng up, so he reminded him: ”Please put on some new clothes, Young Master Wang. Young Master Wang is the grandnephew of the Wang Pavilion, you can't be careless.”

Wang Dunsheng was the grandnephew of Wang Jiapuan, who came from a military background. He was an upright and honest man, and was highly valued by Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Juzheng died, the officials of the full court under Emperor Wanli discredit Zhang Juzheng, Wang Jiapuan righteously. After that, he couldn't stand Emperor Wanli, so he quit his job and went back to Shanyin County.

There were many warriors in the Ming Dynasty, and among the warriors, there were only 1 A 3 person, so the 2 people in the top 2 A 1 could be transferred to the Hanlin Academy to be called Shu Ji Shi. What is a Shugis? It was the reserve cabinet of the Ming Dynasty, the cradle of the Prime Minister!

Zhu Hongzhao didn't know that, according to the statistics of the later generations, there were three people who entered the Scholar's Hall every year, and only three of them were able to enter Hanlin Academy. In the Ming Dynasty, there were more than 1,000 Shu Kis, including 622 farmers, 333 military and 37 craftsmen.
