Chapter 385 The Day of Restoration Returns [Part 1](1/2)
It turned around and it was June 27th.
Early that morning, Aunt Zhao ran to Qiushuangzhai and kept complaining to Tanchun.
But it turned out that she saw Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng had a falling out again, and thought she still had a chance to get back to power, so she hadn't come to the garden these few days to catch up with the wind and shadows, and devoted herself to please Jia Zheng at home.
Unexpectedly, after Jia Zheng had no handle on him, he could not get in. The look of Aunt Zhao's eyes was no different from looking at dead objects - he even felt a little impatient.
So after a series of encounters, Aunt Zhao had to temporarily give up her plan to enter the palace.
But she was used to being idle, so she came to Qiu Shuangzhai to complain again, and asked if she had caught Mrs. Wang's fox tail.
Tanchun kept coming out of Aunt Zhao's complaints until she heard her urge to ask about the 'the great cause of catching evil people', and then she cheered up and persuaded: "The wife has now completely had a quarrel with the master, and she will never be able to move back in a short time. Why should I have any trouble at this moment? Why do I have to make trouble again? It's better..."
"What's better?"
Aunt Zhao sneered: "Although she moved to the garden, who dares not take her seriously inside and outside? But what about your mother and me? Just a few days ago, those snobs looked at me wrongly, and I don't know how to say sarcastic words behind my back!"
Finally, she gritted her teeth and said fiercely: "If I don't step on this Y woman completely, I will never be happy!"
When she heard that she was not clean and she kept calling Mrs. Wang and Woman Y. Jia Tanchun frowned unconsciously, but she was too lazy to persuade her. She directly asked: "Is this what I am talking about today?"
"What about that?"
Aunt Zhao learned to spread her hands together: "If it weren't for this, would you please feel free to see you?"
"Hmph~"
Tanchun was still suspicious: "But why did I hear that the dog thief is resting at home today, between you..."
"He's going to have a rest today?"
Aunt Zhao's eyes lit up, and she immediately wondered: "I don't know this, why do you know it?"
"Of course I heard from Sister Lin. Now she has to visit Sister Xing almost every day. She is very clear about the matter there."
“Boom~”
When Aunt Zhao heard Lin Daiyu's name, she couldn't help but sneer. Logically speaking, she should hate Baochai who was close to Mrs. Wang even more, but in fact, her disgust for Daiyu was more than Baochai.
This is because Lin Meimei has always had a clear distinction between love and hate. Not only does she have a good face to those who don’t like and dislike, she often sarcastically and teases her in person - and Aunt Zhao happens to be the kind of person she dislikes the most.
Although Baochai is close to Mrs. Wang, she is always kind on the big side.
Therefore, when I heard Lin Daiyu's name, Aunt Zhao couldn't help but say sarcastically: "What is this unmarried girl who runs to a single man's house all day long? If I were Miss Shi, I would have been annoyed her long ago!"
"It's just my mother who likes to think about it."
Although Tanchun is not close to Lin Daiyu, he can't see Aunt Zhao's slander so much. He immediately changed the topic and questioned again: "Is Aunt really not sure he has a rest today?"
"What are you thinking about, a dead girl?"
Aunt Zhao said angrily: "Just the sister in the kiln has to pick up customers at night. Am I not even as good as them?"
This metaphor...
The reference standards are really low to the bottom.
Jia Tanchun was accidentally touched by his thoughts, and thought that he was in the blue sky and the sun twice...
At that moment, I couldn't help but feel embarrassed and annoyed, and said coldly: "My mother has nothing to do, so she should go back to serve the master earlier. If she can coax the master to let you move back to the main hall, wouldn't it be more cost-effective than being intriguing all day long!"
Aunt Zhao was actually a little unable to sit still, so she shook her face and said, "Do you think I want to come here? Take the time to check the matter of Y woman. If there is no result in a few days, I will do it myself!"
After saying that, without waiting for Tanchun to return, he twisted the water snake's waist and left.
When he got home, Aunt Zhao was still in a state of ease. She paced back and forth in the bedroom, and then looked at herself in the mirror. Finally, she murmured to herself: "This matter has to be found on the root of the root, and maybe something can be drawn from his mouth."
She didn't know that Jiao Shun was fine. Now that she heard that Jiao Shun didn't have to be on duty today, she felt like she had grown grass in her heart - because Jiao Shun was a "lobbyist" to Mrs. Wang, she hadn't scolded Jiao Shun for a thousand words in the past few days, but now when she thinks of the thief at home, her heart is full of pitfalls and valleys, and it is also full of benefits for Jiao Shun.
After making up his mind, Aunt Zhao immediately called Jia Huan, saying that she heard that Jiao Shun had sent some novel things to the garden - this is not all a lie, the rickshaw and tricycle can be regarded as novel things - asked Jia Huan to go to Jiao's house quickly to see if he had prepared his position this time.
When Jia Huan heard this, he seemed to be happy and took two steps in three steps and then jumped out.
After Aunt Zhao watched her son go out, her face became even more lovely. She dressed up in front of the mirror and sang a small song. However, she didn't expect that Jia Huan would run away not far, so she turned back with a drooping head.
"What's wrong with you?"
Aunt Zhao glanced at her son in confusion. Seeing his depressed look, she couldn't help but feel irritated and hurriedly got up and asked, "Did you catch the master being scolded? Didn't you say you were going to the Jiao family?"
"What does it have to do with the master?"
Jia Huan sat on the bed, rubbed the soles of his feet and said in a muffled voice: "I don't want to go anymore."
"Don't want to go?"
Aunt Zhao was even more puzzled when she heard this and asked: "Why don't you go? Mr. Jiao gave you those novel toys, don't you love them like your eyes? Why? Don't you want to ask for two new ones?"
When Jia Huan heard the new toy, he showed hope on his face, but it immediately became darker and said dejectedly: "What's the point? At that time, my mother lived in the main hall, so he naturally looked up to us. Now you have moved back... I'd better not ask for this boring."
But it turned out that Jia Huan felt that his mother had lost power and Jiao Shun could not please him with toys.
Aunt Zhao was so amused and laughed. Others may have looked at Jia Huan because of her previous power, but Jiao Shun was definitely not listed here.
But she was not easy to mention those things to her son, so she put her waist on her waist and pretended to be tough, "What are you afraid of? Although I moved out, my wife didn't move back! Just go to yours. If he shys his face, I won't spit on him in front of me!"
Jia Huan was skeptical and felt that his mother was suffering because she wanted to save face, but she couldn't resist Aunt Zhao's repeated instigation. She was really greedy for the novel toys, so she delayed for a long time and finally went to the Jiao family.
But when he arrived at the Jiao family, he was stunned. Jiao Shun was not at home at all. He heard from the left-behind maid that he followed Xu to the new house that was being built.
…………
Although Jiao Shun went to Zijin Street mainly to go to Aunt Xue’s appointment, he could also inspect the construction progress and it was also a matter of course in the question.
It was only after the sun was over, that he followed Xu to the old house of Xue's family.
Xue Pan had been waiting at the door for a long time.
Valley
When he saw Jiao Shun grinning, he was about to come forward to greet him. But when he was approaching, he suddenly covered his mouth again, and he didn't know what the hell was doing.
Fortunately, Xu's old sisters were also greeted at the same time. Seeing this scene, he hurriedly explained: "Our uncle bit his tongue just now. Don't be surprised by sister and Lord Jiao."
While she called Xu's sister, she also called Jiao Shunjing an adult, which was also considered a relationship between them.
Although Jiao Shun saw that Xue Pan didn't seem to bite his tongue, he was too lazy to care about what was wrong with this fool. He followed Xu's servant wife and came to the newly repaired backyard flower hall.
Aunt Xue was waiting at the door of the flower hall, and intimately welcomed Xu and Jiao Shun into the door, and the guests and guests fell down. She first looked back at the screen in the corner, and waved her hand to signal Xue Pan to retreat for the time being, and then she explained the reason straight to the point.
After saying that, she explained helplessly: "You know Wenlong's temperament, and you have never been able to control your mouth, so I dare not let him listen to some things."
Jiao Shun knew in his heart that this was not only a guard against Xue Pan's big mouth, but also a guard against his own words.
But he didn't care about these trivial matters.
It’s okay that the state-owned factories are clamoring to expand their enrollment, but why do even the imperial merchants have to make trouble?
State-owned factories can still be perfunctory, but how can those royal merchants be at their own mercy?
So he quickly asked about it.
Aunt Xue said again: "I asked Wenlong to come forward to investigate these days. They seemed to be preparing to spread the word with the scholar..."
It is naturally impossible for the Royal Business to be filled with wine bags like Xue Pan. In a short time, someone has found a breakthrough, that is, the work-students are theoretically studying official primary schools, and official primary schools have always been open to the public.
As long as this is addressed, we can clearly require that engineering and education should not only recruit students from state-owned factories, but should be open to the public, or at least be "partially" open.
And this so-called "part" naturally refers to the imperial merchants with official identities.
According to Xue Pan's words, they also prepared two sets of follow-up response plans and prepared to make adjustments at any time based on the feedback given by the Ministry of Works.
If the Ministry of Works actively cooperates, then you and I will be happy. If the Ministry of Works refuses to agree, then we will invite the giants outside to build momentum. At that time, it will not be partially opened, but will require full opening to the outside world.
Tsk ~
Hearing this, Jiao Shun pinched his chin hard, his face full of gloom.
The second half of the news was mostly intentionally released by the royal merchants, in order to force the Ministry of Works to surrender - how did Lu Xun say that: If you want to open a window, you must advocate lifting the roof off.
To be honest, it is not impossible for the royal merchants to enter the market. It is even a good thing to operate properly - for example, the resources of the royal merchants can be fully utilized to reduce the constraints of the imperial court on engineering.
But the problem is that the time is wrong!
The Ministry of Rites is trying to ask the work-students to take the imperial examination, but it has expanded its enrollment with great fanfare. Isn’t this poking the human lung tube?
Even if the Ministry of Rites is willing to agree, the base camps of the Qing literati such as the Ministry of Rites, the Hanlin Academy, and the Imperial College, they will never sit idly by.
However, these things are just for the Imperial Merchants and have no meaning at all.
On the surface, the demands of the royal merchants were to seek an opportunity for their "workers' children" to cross the class, but in essence they were just worried that the people below would affect their own business, so they had to act like they were seeking benefits for everyone.
As long as they have done their best, they don’t care what the result is - as long as they are not excluded, others can get a quota for school.
Thinking about it further, perhaps they were hoping that their engineering studies would be abolished, so as to completely break the "outer heart" of the people below.
After careful consideration, Jiao Shun was really a little bit waxed.
If you don't agree, the royal merchants must have some attitude in order to appease the subordinates. At that time, his actual founder and direct leader of the "work-study system" will inevitably be the first to bear the brunt.
You should know that even with the support of Jia and Wang families, the Xue family is not the strongest among the imperial merchants. If these people unite, how could they resist the sixth-rank chief?
Not to mention, they still have to collude with the tycoons of the folk - saying that they are tycoons of the folk, but which big business does not have the support of the Pavilion Master, the Secretary of the Shang Dynasty, and the Grand Marshal?
If these people really gather fire...
To be continued...
