Chapter 20 Auntie Mo Ruozi
Boom!
Boom!
The "Better than Drum" sounds at the south gate and east gate sounded almost at the same time, which meant that two more craftsmen were eliminated.
This is the last day of the first exam. For the first time, the examiners are divided into two groups: one group is the main examiner and leads three deputy examiners; the other group is five deputy examiners.
Each craftsman will be given a score, and more than 300 people will be eliminated, so the "not as good as the drum" sound is particularly frequent. By coincidence, there will be a situation like now where two drums are beaten at the same time.
Examiner Zheng and his party of four walked towards the area where the craftsmen of the village were appointed.
"Candidate Zhang Qing?"
"Yes." Zhang Qing stood up in fear.
"Stay." Examiner Zheng said one word, and Zhang Qing breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved.
When the examiner came over, it was Wang Ge's turn to be nervous. The examiner took away the "mouse trap" and never returned it to her. I don't know if it worked or not?
However, her main work "Combined Measuring Instrument" was also completed.
Deputy examiner Xu picked up the object and everyone examined it carefully and assessed the grade.
Let’s first look at the format of this object: the sides are trapezoidal, and the upper and lower openings are square. The whole thing is made of braided fabrics with tiny gaps, making it very smooth both to the eye and to the touch.
Let’s look at the practical value: if you turn the object with the large mouth facing upward, it is a “fighting tool”; if you turn it upside down and the small mouth faces upward, it becomes a “lifting tool”.
On both sides of the main body, there are two ring handles: one handle has a thin ring, which is used to catch the "fitting tool"; the other handle is thick, with a small hole in the middle, and is used to catch the "suit".
All the examiners knew that this thing was modeled after the "Jia Liang" invented by the Mang Dynasty.
The lack of the largest "dendrobium tools" is probably not because the candidates have no time to weave, but because the little girl is cautious and is afraid of "gaining" the country's important weapons. If she weaves in private, even if she only imitates its shape, it will be taboo.
Didn't you see her head drooping lower and lower?
Examiner Zheng said: "According to past practice, there is only one quota for craftsmen in Quzhixiang. In terms of basic skills, you are better than Zhang Qing, but you are older than him. Your current basic skills may not be better than Zhang Qing's in a few years.
."
The little finger of Wang Ge's left hand has been dug into the palm of her hand, waiting for the next step. If the examiner feels that her craftsmanship threatens Zhang Qing and wants to eliminate her, Zhang Xiaolang will be spared. Simply put, there is no need to tell her so much.
Sure enough, the other party said again: "Your real advantage is the ingenuity you made on the first day, which proves your creative talent. I'll let you pass this time. Next, you need to better demonstrate your unique talent."
."
"yes."
After the examiners left the area, one of the deputy examiners asked: "This examinee's basic skills are among the best among all craftsmen. Will Zhang Qing be able to catch up in a few years?"
Examiner Zheng: Nonsense! Don’t I know? The county magistrate asked me to scare Mrs. Wang. What can I do?
At the beginning of the evening, the first exam ended, and a total of three and three craftsmen were eliminated, leaving three hundred and thirty.
Counting Wang Ge and Zhang Qing, Qu Zhixiang retained twelve people.
The craftsmen who are retained must take away the finished products and are not allowed to leave them in the venue. They also have to find their respective township officials to change their number plates. Every time they are eliminated, the number plates belong to the craftsmen, which is also a kind of qualification certificate.
.The vast majority of craftsmen cannot pass the examination as craftsmen, but with their license plates, it is easier than ordinary craftsmen to become servants.
Finally coming out of the examination room, Mu Xiang officials took away the old number plates of Wang Ge and others, and after replacing them with new ones, said: "You are not allowed to run around tonight. Tomorrow, Maozheng will enter the venue from the east gate, and the competition area will be changed. The ones used in the competition will be changed."
The materials remain unchanged. Therefore, individual craftsmen should pay attention to adjusting the amount of materials used in the second session, so as not to find that there is no more available in the third session."
With a swish of "yes", the Muxiang official showed a happy smile: "Don't be tense all the time, go shopping nearby, and just come back here after dark. In addition, Qinghe Village is buying products, you can go there later
Take a look and gain knowledge."
The young craftsmen followed the elders in the family and walked away. Then the Muxiang official took out his money bag and handed it to Wang Ge: "Come back before dark."
"I don't need the money. Please keep it safe for me. I'm going to sell this now." She shook her head with a smile, picked up the bamboo measuring device, and hurried to the Qinghezhuang purchasing point.
Along the way, Wang Ge found that the number of people not only did not decrease, but also increased. Especially the purchasing office, which was surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside. Not only were the craftsmen asking for prices, but also various traders coming from far away.
We are also doing business with Qinghe Village.
"Sister Wang, hurry up, there are few people here." Zhang Qing called to her, and his father followed closely, holding the bamboo mat in one hand and protecting his son with the other.
Wang Ge came over and called politely: "Hello, Uncle. Brother Zhang."
"Young girl dares to come to the county town alone, she is better than my Ah Qing!" Zhang's father is in his forties and has a naturally festive face. Wang Ge pursed his lips and smiled.
She immediately praised back: "Zhang Adi is the best young man I have ever seen!"
Father Zhang was elated, while Zhang Qing blushed shyly.
After a while, it was their turn. The bamboo mat made by Zhang Qing was sold for one hundred yuan, and the father and son happily went to the food stall.
Wang Ge's combination measuring instrument was sold for one hundred and twenty yuan, which made her very happy, and she quickly handed over the money she just earned to the Muxiang officials for safekeeping.
The weather was bad the next day. When the twelve craftsmen entered through the east gate with the local officials, it was unusually dark. Fortunately, the awnings built by the candidates were moved along with the materials.
The entire competition scope has been reduced, with the north and west gates closed, leaving only the east and south entrances.
When the exam started, it started to rain.
The sore on Huan Zhen's buttocks finally scabbed, and now it cracked a little. But he only took a breath, slowly walked to the window, opened it, and watched the raindrops flying along the tile eaves.
How can the sins in the world be washed away by drizzle alone? Thunder is needed more!
On the low table behind him, there were two slips spread out, which were detailed records of Jiangcheng's matricide written last night. When he cut Jiangcheng alive, there was rust on the dagger, which caused the opponent's muscles to contract and twitch incessantly just one day later.
Death. A detailed confession can only be written by him while injured.
The first brochure describes Jiang Cheng's motive for killing his father.
When County Magistrate Jiang forced Niezi to reveal the ins and outs of his mother-killing, he was so angry that he immediately burned the cart because Jiang Cheng had tampered with the cart. However, Magistrate Jiang soon regretted it, because he burned the cart.
This move will become a bigger flaw!
This prompted Jiang Cheng to finally kill his father! If his father had not died, not only would he have vented his anger on the Chang family, but what if the Tingwei Mansion came down to investigate the case and asked why the cattle cart was burned? How would his father answer the Tingwei Mansion? Then
Will she tell him about the matricide in order to save her own life?
The second brochure contains the details of Jiangcheng’s matricide.
Meng has a habit of riding in the car. She likes to be alone and never lets her maid enter the car. The couch she sits on is covered with thick cushions. The left part was modified by Jiang Cheng. The silk fabric inside is uneven and makes sitting uncomfortable.
, Meng has been sitting on the right side of the couch, leaning against the right window.
Meng also had a problem, motion sickness. In order to prevent vomiting, he kept preserved fruits in the box in the car. The preserved fruits were Jiang Chengdong's second limb, which had been drugged.
The third limb was the ox that Huan Zhen and others suspected! The old ox in Meng's car had tiny bamboo thorns on its right legs. When pulling the car, it sank more and more to the right, causing Meng's severe motion sickness.
.
Therefore, not long after she came out of the county town, Meng ate a lot of preserved fruits and fell into a coma. Before she fell into coma, she was particularly nauseated and uncomfortable, so she leaned against the window to try her best to breathe.
Soon after the two bullock carts of the master and the servant drove up the official road, a young man from Jiangcheng dressed as a traveler and drove the bullock cart followed them.
When the car in front of Mr. Meng turned onto the dirt road full of peach blossoms, the young man drove the oxen and passed quickly, so that he was separated between the master and the servant oxcarts.
Then, the boy yelled "drive, drive", pretending to overtake the car in front, but his actual purpose was to run parallel to each other for a long time and squeeze Meng's car into the thorn bushes on the roadside.
For a dirt road like this, the sides were not compacted at all. In addition, the old cow heard the voice of the young man and followed the "drive" sound. It ran faster and faster, and the driver could not hold it back at all.
Meng's head bounced back and forth against the car window and was scratched to pieces by thorn branches. She remained silent until her death.
After the case, Jiang Cheng led his brothers to cut down thorns, not to vent his anger, but because Jiang Cheng was afraid that the thorns were stained with his mother's blood, and there were even eyeballs hanging on one of the slanting branches.
Therefore, Meng's death has nothing to do with Taohualin.
She died just because... Zhimu Mo Ruozi!
