The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

The paper for this test pen is the cheapest paper in this shop.

Having written it by hand, Yan Yu knew it in his heart.

"Thank you shopkeeper, I saved it, and I will practice more in the future." She said again: "This paper is whiter than the paper made by my family, but it is a little different when it is written."

"Young Master's family can also make paper?" The shopkeeper was quite surprised.

"I can do it, but the color is not good-looking. Dad said that there is nothing wrong with my house, but there are too many people writing in our house, and some paper is not enough. May I ask the shopkeeper if you have any waste paper here? Can you sell it to me at a cheaper price? "

The shopkeeper thought she was trying to sell the paper he made at home, and thought that as long as it wasn’t too bad, it would be okay to buy something at a reasonable price. He was delighted to hear her say that the color was not good. Cheap goods are easy to sell in such border towns as tigers, but After listening to it, it turned out that it was not for sale, but for purchase...

"This waste paper...is it going to dry before writing?" The shopkeeper asked hesitantly.

It is because some poor scholars will dry it in the sun and write and use it repeatedly until the thin ink marks are superimposed and thickened.

No way, even though the Yan family came here after fleeing famine, Yan Hushu is already in the government office, and they have collected money before...

"No, it's to make paper again, now, it looks like this." She turned out a small book, and showed the shopkeeper the few pages that were not written on the back.

The shopkeeper understood that it was made by re-beating, no wonder the color is not good.

"There is some waste paper, but not much." The shopkeeper beckoned to the man to find it. "If you want it, young master, just take it."

"No, I have to give money." Yan Yu insisted: "The shopkeeper can sell me cheaper, but the money must be collected, my family is not just buying it this time, and I have to trouble the shopkeeper to keep it for my family in the future."

"This... well, since that's the case, then I'll charge you five copper coins, how about it?"

"The shopkeeper thinks it's okay, I brought the copper coins." Yan Yu put the five copper coins on the shopkeeper's cabinet and looked at him expectantly.

The shopkeeper smiled and asked the waiter to tidy up for her, folded them into a pile, and tied them with fine hemp rope.

Yan Huaiwen turned back, and saw Xiao Er happily running out with a pile of waste paper, and called him with a smile: "Uncle!"

His cold eyes softened immediately, he took what was in her hand, and said, "Get in the car and go buy the oil paper you want."

Yan Yu quickly climbed up, and now Yan Huaiwen flipped through the waste paper she bought.

The two walked forward for a while before Yan Huaiwen said, "Xiao Er, how much money did you spend on this waste paper?"

"Five copper coins." Yan Yu replied crisply: "I calculated it, it's not expensive, and the paper here in the bookstore is used for test pens, and I haven't written a few words. Much nicer."

Yan Huaiwen was noncommittal on the price.

There was one thing he wanted to mention.

"Do you know what is the use of these waste papers in the bookstore?"

"Are they also useful? Are they also made of recycled paper?" Yan Yu asked with rounded eyes.

"There is a poor family who can't afford good paper, so they will cut the waste paper and use the blank space. The written paper can also be pasted on the wall and pasted on the window."

Yan Yu: ...

I thought that recycled paper would be frugal enough for her household, but I didn’t expect there to be more frugal.

Yan Huaiwen: "Compared with others, the shopkeeper of the bookstore is more willing to sell waste paper to you."

He stopped near the grocery store and tied up the cart.

"Next time, you might as well discuss with the shopkeeper whether you can exchange paper for paper."

Yan Yu jumped down by herself, "Uncle, you mean, use the paper made by our family to exchange these waste papers?"

"Yes. There are a few here and there, the shopkeeper is not easy to sell, and most of them are sold to those scholars.

Color depth, good-looking or not, does not affect writing.

People who buy waste paper are no different from our family, they all want to have more places to write.

Benefit from each other, the two phases are cheap. "

Asking Yan Yu how much he wanted, Yan Huaiwen paid the money and got the oiled paper.

The two were going back to the ox cart, they didn't want to hear the noise in the distance.

The sound of horseshoes, someone shouting and stopping, and the exclamation of street vendors.

Yan Huaiwen reacted very quickly, picked up Yan Yu, and walked quickly to the bullock cart.

Yan Yugang wanted to stand on tiptoe to watch the excitement, and didn't want to be instantly diverted by his uncle. When he woke up, he was already standing on the bullock cart.

That's right, the view is better.

Yan Huaiwen took the cow and kept comforting it with his hands, worried that his three treasures would be frightened.

Seeing the same thing as a cow, I looked at it intently.

But it was a yamen servant and a royal horse chasing a man.

The man, with his hands tied in shackles, unkempt, shabby, and ragged, was fleeing in a hurry, constantly taking advantage of the street vendors' stalls to dodge.

And the yamen servant behind him had a fierce look on his face, chasing after him, with a long knife out of its sheath, he kept chopping, no matter what, no one was hacked, and the hawker's stall was messed up by him.

Yan Huaiwen frowned, "Xiao Er, come down first, wait for me by the ox cart, don't run around."

Yan Yu obediently got out of the car, hugging her three treasures' legs.

Give uncle a look that you can go at ease.

I saw the uncle rolled up his robe with his right hand and put it on his waist while walking, and stopped with his left hand without warning. The fleeing man was about to dodge to one side, but he kicked him on the wooden yoke and fell down. on the ground.

handsome!

Yan Yu's eyes twinkled with stars.

Lao Yan's kick was so quick that it could not cover his ears, not only the person who was kicked down did not expect it, but she also did not expect it.

Seeing that the man fell down, the peddlers around hurriedly grabbed him and held him up, preventing him from getting up.

The yamen servant reined in the reins, and the horse stopped.

Turning over and dismounting, the knife in his hand unceremoniously beat the peddler who was helping, "Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Yan Huaiwen's eyes darkened, and he flicked his robe to stop him.

"Although Huju is not in the capital city, there is a ban on being a horseman in the street during non-wartimes. This Beijing envoy, please respect yourself."

The yamen servant did not expect this to be a discerning man.

He raised the knife in his hand, "Who are you? How dare you stop me? This person is a criminal. What does it have to do with him if you stop in front? Are you from the same party?"

Yan Yu scolded in his heart, he deserves to be from the capital, and he deserves a good hat.

"This person is guilty of escaping with the shackles, and the crime is aggravated.

However, Jingchao has handed over the official documents to me, so I don't need to worry about the pursuit. "Yan Huaiwen remained motionless, not scared off by the sharp blade in his hand.

While talking, Huju's yamen servant ran over.

First control the culprit, and then greet the two people who are facing each other faintly.

"Pengtou, this is Yan Hushu, our newly appointed Huju.

Yan Hushu, this is Detective Peng who came to the capital to escort criminals, haha, we are old friends, we always see each other once a year, walk around, the criminals are also caught, the brothers clean up the table , waiting for you.

When you talk about your old Peng, you are just impatient. Can you let him run away when he arrives in our tiger's house? Shout at the top of your voice, which of these old people on the street can't put him down, why do you have to come after him yourself..."

The Jingcha was dragged away, and Huju's yamen servant hurriedly turned his head to wink at Yan Huaiwen, making small gestures of bowing.

Yan Huaiwen nodded to him, first thanked the peddler for his help, and then sent the peddler who was stabbed by the knife to the nearest clinic.

The peddler blushed with embarrassment, and kept saying: "No, no, I have rough skin and thick flesh. If there is nothing wrong, I just hurt for a while, and now it doesn't hurt. I don't need to go to a medical clinic."

But under Yan Huaiwen's insistence, he was still dragged away, forced to take off his clothes for the doctor to see, and prescribed medicated oil for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis.

After comforting him and returning home, Yan Huaiwen said to the doctor very seriously: "The money for the medicine just now will be charged to Catcher Li, and I will ask him to settle the account."

As soon as Yan Yu led Sanbao to the door, he heard his uncle say this, and he was very curious: "Uncle, why should it be recorded on Uncle Li's head? It was obviously the arrester from the capital who hurt someone, so he should be let out." Money is right!"

"The handover of the criminals has been completed, and the responsibility of guarding falls on Huju's head. They are not strict in guarding and let people run away, which disturbed the city and injured people. Shouldn't he take the money for the medicine?"

If so, it should be taken.

...

"That was your Huju's household book just now? It's crazy, what's the source of the ban clause that was opened and closed?" After drinking a glass of wine, the hostility on Peng Kuai's body gradually subsided, and he squinted his eyes and asked the person next to him.

"Oh, scholars are like this. Don't worry about it, Old Peng. It's the one who just ran away. What's the matter?" Li Tou vaguely explained what Yan Hushu said, and filled his glass again.

Detective Peng quickly drank another gulp and said bad luck.

"You all know that the people under me are the most disciplined, we are only greedy for money, and never think about other things.

But in March, Lao Wang drank a few pots of horse urine, bumped into the nobleman in a daze, was rewarded by the elder, and his legs and feet couldn't work. The money, people make it up to me.

snort! That boy is not a thing, he has a full stomach, see that the prisoner's wife is good-looking, and she has caused harm to his wife, so don't fight him hard. "

It didn't take a day or two for Li Tou to hand over to him, so he knew that although this surnamed Peng was greedy for money and ruthless in committing crimes against others, he wasn't the type to do things to the extreme.

Li Tou said: "Then this kid is not the same as us. If I had known earlier, I would be the doctor he hired, and let him die of pain."

"But that kid who ran away, he's really badass!" Li Tou tsk-tsk twice, and said something that all the men present could understand: "I'm afraid it won't work in the future..."

The few people at the wine table tacitly agreed that it was time to eat food and drink, and it was so lively.

...

When this incident happened, Yan Huaiwen was not at ease, and drove the ox cart directly to the government office.

Yan Yu followed her uncle's turns and turns, and miraculously entered the Huju government office!

She winked very much and kept silent.

Huju's official yamen can't be said to be broken, but it looks quite old.

It's not really clear from the outside, but when you walk in, you realize that the Huju government office is quite big.

Yan Yu's sense of space is particularly good, and soon she found that her uncle seemed to have lost his way, circling the government office, but fortunately he knew how to walk around the main hall, circling and circling, and finally he found the place.

It is also because there are wooden signs hanging in every room of the government office.

torture chamber.

When the uncle entered the house, she waited at the door, and when the uncle came out, she followed.

I really didn't listen to it on purpose, but Yan Yu's small ears are really clever.

This batch of escorts from the capital to Guanzhou were criminal officials and their families.

Also known as distribution.

What happened, she didn't hear clearly, but she did hear that this group of prisoners is a bit miserable. They came from the capital to Guanzhou, just in time for the drought in the big mansions along the way, lack of food and drink, and the weather is hot. The elderly and children There were quite a few breaks on the way, even adult men and women died...

While Yan Yu was sympathetic, she was also vigilant. If one person makes a mistake, the whole family suffers, so we must bear in mind.

Yan Huaiwen had noticed the strangeness of this group of people before.

Just didn't pay attention to the number of people.

The drought is so severe that even if the imperial court wants to be exiled, it will postpone the time and go to Guanzhou under the drought. Someone must have ordered it.

After looking at the crimes committed by this group of people, and the official titles they were granted before, I realized it in my heart.

At that time, the affairs of the year were high, the crown prince had not yet been established, and several princes in Beijing fought fiercely. The officials under the sect were like mad dogs, biting openly in the court, and accusing and impeaching him was commonplace.

The past few years have been the most chaotic times in the court. This will not be the first batch of officials exiled due to the defeat of the party struggle, nor will it be the last batch.

Among these people, there are very few innocent people who have been treated so harshly. It seems that they have been cruel before.

Now seeing the official document handed over by the capital, and comparing it with the existing number of people, he couldn't help frowning.

Mr. Tian treats all the people he distributes equally, and sends them all to the quarry to collect stones.

Although the work is heavy, there is a lot of food and drink, and I once confessed to the stewards of the quarry to protect their lives.

For these people, Huju's quarry is actually the best place for them at this time.

Work hard, at least you can save your life.

In the event of an amnesty, he can serve the people again.

"Catching up with natural disasters and man-made disasters is also their bad luck." The colleague pointed out to him the one who just ran away: "Why did you run away? He picked a stone and hid it secretly, waiting for the one from the capital to come." After the man handed over to us, he relaxed his vigilance, took off his shackles and was about to put them in prison, when he suddenly jumped up, threw one of them down, and threw a stone at his...

The incident happened suddenly, everyone was unprepared, and he succeeded. "

Yan Huaiwen: "I only removed the shackles, but the wooden shackles in my hands are still there. Hitting someone hard is also hurting myself. Why?"

He explained the reason to Yan Huaiwen clearly.

"This person's name is Zhang Xuan. He used to be the governor of the Shaofu, Zuo Shang. He himself is fine. It was because he was implicated. His father, Mr. Zhang, the Department of the Household Department...

How many innocent people are there in this position? In such a critical place, how many people are staring at it. If someone catches the slightest mistake, it will be a disaster. Besides, hehe, the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs can't stand the investigation.

It must have been greedy a lot, otherwise the sentence would not have been so severe.

Master Zhang hanged himself in prison, and Mrs. Zhang also went away. Apart from the married daughter, there were two sons and one daughter among the children.

Zhang Xuanxing, his brother, sister-in-law, wife and sister... all died on the road. "

Speaking of this, the execution room clerk couldn't bear it, "Only him and the two younger boys are left, both of whom are the children of his elder brother. The older boy finally insisted on getting here. He looks thin, but it's okay. The younger boy The girl... is still burning, and I don't know if I can survive it.

This announcement made a fuss... Sigh! Pity those two kids. "

Two in one, change first and then change~o(*￣︶￣*)o~
