A Precious Pearl in the Imperial City - Chapter 88
This should have been a bright spring, with charming flowers and bees flying butterflies.
But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, some accidents may happen.
The nursery is an orphan adoption center funded by the Ministry of Households and built in various states and counties. If the child is not adopted, he will be raised in the nursery until he is fourteen, and then go out to make a living.
In recent years, the lives of Dacheng people have become more and more prosperous, and fewer people abandon their children. In addition, wealthy business officials and wives often go to the Yuyingtang to donate silver, so the children in the Yuyingtang are living well, even every month. The people in the nursery, take them out to play.
Today is the day when the nursery takes children out. Most of these unadopted children have physical defects and look very pitiful.
The children don’t know why the husband who brought them out today is so fierce, and he has been taking them to the market with the most people. They only dared to follow the husband honestly and stumbled and did not dare to fall.
There was a child who was born with a crippled foot and walked limping, unable to keep up with her husband.
“Hurry up, are you a trash?” Mr. Gray saw that he was far behind and shouted, “It is a shame for us to spend money to raise trash like you.”
The children were so frightened that they burst into tears, especially the stumped child who was scolded. The whole person shrank together, not even crying.
“Shut up, anyone who dares to cry again, just throw you away, and it’s annoying to listen.” Mr. Gray walked to the side of the disabled child and kicked him twice: “Useless waste.”
“What are you doing?” Someone couldn’t stand it and pushed Mr. Gray away: “The kid is so young, why are you kicking him?”
“Go away from me. Do you know who I am? You dare to be nosy?” Mr. Gray sneered: “I am the steward of the nursery and eat the royal rations. You ignorant people, let me go. Otherwise, the newspaper officer will arrest you.”
“At the feet of the emperor, you dare to be so arrogant?!” The people in Beijing have always been righteous and enthusiastic. Hearing Mr. Gray’s words, not only weren’t afraid, but he was irritated: “You have the ability to sue officials, and see if we are afraid. you.”
“Yes!” A few strong men stood up and stood in front of the children. They noticed that these children have defects in their bodies, and their pity was even greater, and their anger towards Mr. Gray was even stronger: “Even these little ones You can handle all the children, but are you still not a human being?”
“I have been in the nursery for ten years. Who said that I am not?” Mr. Huiyi triumphantly: “I advise you not to offend me. Otherwise, when I return to the nursery, these disobedient bad children will still Punished by me, no one will protect him then.”
“Are you threatening us?” The people really can’t figure out why this person is so arrogant, without any scruples.
“I see who of you dare to move me?” Mr. Gray yelled: “I am the nurse appointed by the court. You attacked the officials appointed by the court and you are going to go to jail.”
Those who do business in this bazaar are basically ordinary people, who drag their homes with their mouths, and they do have some scruples when they act. But looking at this person’s arrogant appearance, the anger in their hearts, like dry wood meets a fire, burns more and more vigorously.
“If you don’t dare to be nosy, get out.” Mr. Gray snorted: “Remember, don’t go against the court, otherwise you won’t end well…”
“Well, your grandpa has little legs!”
In the crowd, the young man dressed in brocade flew out and kicked Mr. Huiyi’s face. Mr. Huiyi didn’t even have time to say “Oh” before hitting the ground.
He lay on the ground for a moment in a daze. After reacting, he did not forget to shout: “You, you dare to oppose the court…”
“You count as a fart court!” Mr. Jinyi smashed the grain bag in Mr. Huiyi’s back. Mr. Huiyi was like a big goose caught in the neck, kicking his legs and stretching his head, and he couldn’t even make a sound. .
“What the hell!” Young Master Jinyi patted his palms. He turned around and saw more than a dozen children guarded by the adults. They were secretly watching themselves and coughed: “Good boy, don’t learn to fight with me. I’m fighting bad guys.” .”
A few of their brothers originally planned to buy some grains and oils from the market next to the Yuyingtang and take them to the Yuyingtang, but they did not expect to see such a scene.
Fortunately, I came here to buy things, otherwise these children would be bullied by the manager for nothing.
“I’m so old, I haven’t seen anyone more arrogant than us.” Young Master Jin Yi squatted on the ground, reached out and patted Mr. Gray’s head and asked.
“Who told you that the steward of Yuyingtang can represent the court?”
Snapped!
“At the feet of the emperor, you dare to threaten the people with your broken identity. Laozi has been walking through the streets for 20 years, and you are not as brave as you.”
Bang!
“Bullying children and people in front of Lao Tzu, do you know who Lao Tzu is?”
Happiness!
Mr. Gray was photographed so dizzy and unable to speak.
The angry people around, seeing the bully being beaten like a dog, suddenly felt refreshed and relieved.
“My son, who are you?” An elder sister who sells steamed cakes gave each of these children a piece of steamed cakes, and said with concern: “This person has something to do with the government. If you beat him, you will not Will there be trouble?”
“Fighting against this kind of scum, I’m afraid of trouble.” Young Master Jinyi slapped the gray-clothed man’s head again: “Lai Xia’s surname is Yun, his name is Yizhi, he is the sixth great-great grandson of Emperor Taizong.
“The son is actually the descendant of the founding majesty, the royal son.” Ordinary people don’t know how alienated the sixth-generation great-grandson is from the current royal family. In their opinion, as long as they are descendants of the royal family, they are very powerful.
“Fortunately, the son will help, otherwise these children will be pitiful.”
“How can I bear the heart when a child is so young.”
“Don’t worry, with us, no one dares to bully these children.” Looking at the eyes that the common people admired and admired, Yun Yizhi’s waist straightened up a lot: “You don’t have to worry about this person daring to retaliate. His Majesty King Chen accompanied him to read, and now he is also an imperial guard, these little people dare not provoke me.”
“It turned out to be the companion of His Royal Highness Chen Wang. The last time he helped the scholar to make her debut, it was also the companion of His Royal Highness Chen Wang.”
“It’s no wonder that he can be a companion to Chen Wang, the son is really kind.”
When Yun Qirong arrived with Jin Wuwei, Yun Yizhi was taking more than a dozen children, squatting at the market entrance to eat big meat buns.
The children chewed their faces all over and laughed happily.
If it weren’t for a man lying next to him with his hands and feet tied up, this picture would still be very warm.
“Masters, what’s the matter?” Yu Jian looked at the child who was squatting on the street corner gnawing on the buns, and finally turned his gaze to the head of Yun Yizhi.
He knew that as long as there were no people or things related to King Chen, nothing would disappear.
Before Yun Yizhi could answer, the people next to him had already spoken out to help him.
Yu Jian frowned as she heard it, and said to Jin Wuwei behind her: “Take this nursery manager away and hand it over to Jingzhao Mansion for strict investigation.”
“Yes, boss.”
Two Jin Wuwei dragged the gray-clothed man up from the ground, “accidentally” his hand slipped, and the man’s face hit the ground and let out a cry.
“Oh, hands slippery.”
“Too careless.”
The hearts of the people around: the hands slip well, the slip is wonderful, you can slip a few more times.
In the afternoon of the same day, news came out from Jingzhao Mansion that this person who claimed to be able to represent the court was not only beaten up to 30 times but also convicted of a felony.
The people all clapped their hands and applauded, and when they mentioned the adults of Jingzhao Mansion, and the royal princes, they all praised them again and again.
The royal dudes walked on the street, with their heads high and their chests high, they even brought wind under their feet, and even the children of the clan began to follow the trend and do good deeds.
For a time, the ruffians and hooligans on the street disappeared, and the atmosphere in the entire capital was better than ever.
Who dares to provoke those royal dudes who just wander in the street without problems and fall in love with the activities of punishing evil and promoting good?
The family lords were unhappy, very unhappy.
“Come on, who among us is a traitor?”
No one spoke, because they felt that anyone could be a traitor, except themselves.
“The royal dude who was originally in the gambling house suddenly diverted to the nursery and went to the market to buy grain and oil. On the way there, they happened to meet the children who were being bullied.” A family owner was irritated and laughed: “This coincidence , Do you believe it?”
Who will believe it?
The atmosphere became serious. At this moment, it seemed that whoever spoke first was the most suspicious traitor.
“You planned to be in charge of beating and scolding children in the Yuyingtang?” Du Qingke swaggered into the door, glanced at these family heads, and laughed: “Does the plan work?”
Anyone can hear the mockery in his tone.
“Patriarch Du, do you have a good way?” The Patriarch who first proposed the nursery school plan was so irritated by his tone that he asked, “If you have a good way, we can follow along. “
“Huh?” Du Qingke raised his eyebrows and glanced at him: “I’m here to listen to the opinions of the Patriarchs, not to think of a solution.”
“You are neither willing to make an idea, nor participate in our plan, so what are you doing?”
“Come to gather experience.”
“What experience?”
“If the plan fails, the experience of how to adjust the mood.” Du Qingke sighed: “But it is a pity that the Patriarchs didn’t seem to be able to adjust their mood well, and Du can’t learn useful things.”
“you……”
“I suddenly remembered that Wang Chen will recite “Nong Sang Ji” in front of His Majesty tomorrow. Do you think Wang Chen can recite it?”
“That’s impossible. I haven’t finished memorizing a book of poems in half a year. How could someone memorize the entire “Nong Sang Ji” on the 5th.”
Du Qingke glanced at the Patriarch, and looked away silently.
There is a reason for the gradual decline of the family.
“Master Wang, you are very hot?” Outside the Taiyang Palace, Ming Jingzhou saw the housekeeper wiping his sweat constantly, and couldn’t help asking: “Would you like to go to the side to rest for a while?”
“It’s not hot here, it’s all nervous.” Wang Shilang asked Ming Jingzhou in a low voice: “Master Ming, can you give us a quasi letter, can your Highness memorize the entire book?”
“This…” Ming Jingzhou looked a little embarrassed: “When I left the Kylin Palace yesterday, His Royal Highness was a little strange.”
A little bit?
How much is it?
Several officials were even more nervous, and their mood when they participated in the palace examinations was not much different from what they are now.
“My lord, your majesty announces you to enter the hall.” Liu Zhongbao came out and smiled and said, “My lord, please.”
“Excuse me, Grandpa Liu, can His Royal Highness Chen arrive?”
“His Royal Highness has not yet arrived, please wait for a while in the hall.”
The officials thought that they would not be able to calm down inside without waiting for His Highness to finish memorizing the book.
Several adults walked into the inner hall and stood absent-mindedly after giving the ceremony to Emperor Longfeng.
If someone told them two years ago that they would extremely look forward to the appearance of King Chen, they would definitely think that there was a disease in their brains.
Now they suddenly began to understand how important Chen Wang was.
For them, every moment is torment, until an **** reports: “Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Royal Highness Chen and the Royal Concubine Chen please see you.”
Several officials all looked at the door, their eyes were like a cool summer blazing sun.
Jiuzhu stepped into the gate of the Taiyang Palace main hall, and the legs that he stepped out shrank back. Are the eyes of these adults too hot?
Wang Chen took her hand and walked into the hall: “Father, my son is here to endorse.”
Emperor Longfeng said to Liu Zhongbao: “Liu Zhongbao, prepare a seat for Princess Chen.”
“Father, the princess doesn’t believe that Erchen can recite the complete book, so he brought her.” Wang Chen smiled at the ministers standing on both sides: “Or, let’s start now?”
“Lord, wait.” An adult took out the “Nongsang Ji” from his sleeve, which was thicker than a brick, and handed the book to Wang Chen: “Before memorizing it, you can review it again.”
“No, this king can.” Wang Chen waved his hand: “I have reviewed it before coming.”
He glanced at the adult, and brought such a thick book under the sleeves. Isn’t it easy?
Forget it.
He took the book, opened it and looked at it briefly, put the book in Jiuzhu’s hands, and said to her with a smile: “I appreciate the wisdom of your prince.”
“Yeah.” Jiuzhu grabbed his sleeve and whispered in his ear: “His Royal Highness must be the best.”
Listening to this soft, trusting voice, Wang Chen felt that at this moment, he was omnipotent.
