Reborn I want to be a giant

Chapter 125 People are lazy and like to shirk

There are not many people who know about the dispute between the organizer of the long-distance race and the merchants. Due to the success of the first year, the number of applicants this year has reached a new high.For the sake of safety, Cheng Han refused to let his younger sister participate, but Cheng Fu had no choice but to accompany Weng Qimin and his brother to shop and buy local products.The grandfather of Weng's siblings has already come to visit, and they are now settled in Cheng's house, and they will leave in a few days.

Neither of them showed much reluctance, and they were probably sure that they would meet again soon, so encouragement and blessings replaced sadness.Weng Qimin's growth and hard work are embarrassing, and the price is too high.But since he had no choice, he could only go to the dark one by one and blaze a trail of blood.

On the same day as the long-distance race, Gao Shengxin also arrived in Jinling.The letter said that Yuntaizi was no longer in Qingliang Mountain, but had moved into the Prince's Mansion in Wuding County, and was officially supported by the Ning family.Gao Sheng didn't know much about the inside story, mainly because Cheng Han's people didn't send a special message to Gao Sheng in order to calm down the short-lived active context after finishing the matter.

Gao Sheng only knew that Yuntaizi was not the only Taoist priest with status in Qingliang Temple, no matter whether Yuntaizi ruled out dissidents or did evil in his daily life, some people would dislike him for various reasons.

Yuntaizi was forcibly driven away by other Taoist priests of Qingliang Temple, and even the apprentices he accepted were not able to stay.And the most wonderful thing is that after Yuntaizi left, the emperor issued an oral order that Qingliang Temple and two other Taoist temples in the suburbs of Beijing will be merged into Xuantian Mansion, and will be under the jurisdiction of the government in the future.In addition, Xuantian Mansion can also set up a Taoist official for each Taoist temple, and the imperial court will give salaries according to the official rank every year.

Cheng Fu had never heard of this Xuantian Mansion, but Gao Sheng explained it in his letter.Xuantian Mansion is a little-known imperial government office, affiliated to Qin Tianjian, which specializes in religious sects. It has not been active for many years, and they don't know what the people in it are busy with every day.

The departure of Yuntaizi made Gao Sheng feel relaxed, and he felt that the whole Qingliang Mountain had become immortal. Those low-level Taoist priests who are arrogant now have a much better attitude towards the villagers, Lianghexuan, and tourists.

The most important thing is that everything on Qingliang Mountain and Qingliang Village is no longer related to Yuntaizi, and he can no longer interfere...

After the long-distance race, the Weng Qimin siblings left Jinling, and the Cheng family brothers and sisters sent them to the Jinling boundary markers before turning back.When Weng Qimin and his brother escaped from Weng's house, they didn't have any valuables on them. This time when they went to their grandfather's house, they transported truckloads of good things out. Cheng Fu joked that those who didn't know thought it was all dowry.

In September, the knockout round of the small theater officially started. In order to let the artists be recognized by the public faster, Cheng Fu specially built a large circular stage in an open space next to the tavern on Shuimen Street as the venue for the knockout round.Also because the Dahe Theater is one of the highlights of Lianghexuan this year, during the knockout round, Cheng Fu assigned all the tasks at hand, and Wu Ying was in charge of Lianghexuan alone.

Everyone is very busy, and almost no one cares about the follow-up of the long-distance race.It wasn't until Cheng Han mentioned Xu Ye one day that Cheng Fu realized that although he could see each other every day, it had been a long time since he had a good conversation together.

"So many cases?"

It is only now that she knows whether the long-distance race has passed, but it has also brought a lot of lawsuits.Before the race, many merchants reported to the government the problems of the organizers, such as changing the rules day and night, asking for food and cards, selling more per person, etc., but until the end of the long-distance race, the government did not give a proper solution.

So as soon as the long-distance race was over, the merchants who had already run out of patience directly sued the organizer of the long-distance race, not afraid of offending the family.

But the problem is not limited to the merchants. According to the content of the announcement, the top [-] can get generous prizes provided by the organizer.However, many winners reported that the prizes were different from what they had promised. Ten bags of rice became ten catties of rice; the pure gold long-distance running medal was simply not given.

When everyone thought that all winners were treated the same and wanted to give up, someone told them that the winners of Jinlingwei had all received the prizes promised by the organizers, and none of them were bad...

"What does that have to do with Xu Liu?" As far as she knew, Luo Shen didn't look like an official at all after he came to Jinling, he looked like he was going home, he was lazy and like to prevaricate, leaving all big and small matters to Xu Ye.

"It is said that Luo Shen's heart disease has relapsed, and he hasn't gotten up for several days." Cheng Han also had a new understanding of what this prefect Luo was doing.

"Xu Liu settled this stall, so the magistrate is well-mannered. If Xu Liu can't settle it, the magistrate is sick and doesn't know, it's an incompetent official." Even more like an official than Xue Youzhi.

Does the prince know who he sent to Jinling?

The two brothers and sisters sighed in unison.

As time went by, more and more cases were filed in the long-distance race. The Wen and Guo families were unwilling to come forward and ran back to their respective hometowns overnight.Xu Ye expected that they would do this, so he discussed with the sufferers, saved up those who had been sentenced, and sent them to the prefects of Suzhou and Hangzhou every five days, and the local government urged the two to make compensation as soon as possible.

The sufferers all promised well at first, and expressed their belief that the government would uphold justice for them.But who knows who suddenly ran out to instigate, and slammed Xu Ye for acting out of power, just judging the case but not doing anything, and indulged Wen Fang and Guo Qin to leave Jinling.

Suddenly Xu Ye became the target of public criticism. Those who supported him either turned around or waited and watched, but no one stood up to speak for him.

"Fan Yu asked some people to find out who is the source of the rumors." Cheng Fu was going to die of anger.

"No need, Xue Cheng has already caught someone." Cheng Han stopped Fan Yu who was about to go out.

The little girl raised the hem of her clothes and was about to go to the Yamen, "Luo Xing!"

Cheng Han grabbed her hand in time, "Listen to me. The rumor spreader claimed to be the victim, thinking that government and business colluded, and Xu Tongzhi's real intention was to excuse Wen and Guo. He did this on a whim. Then Brother Xu checked his details in court and found that he was not a victim at all. Brother Xu didn't give him a chance to argue, and killed him in court in the name of slandering the court officials."

The sufferers who participated in scolding Xu Ye before were also imprisoned. The sufferers who were still watching and the people who watched the excitement shut up immediately and went back to their respective houses, fearing that Xu Ye's eyes would sweep them over, and they would also be punished. The disaster of the fish in the pond.

"Is Luo Shen's illness still not cured?" Cheng Fu felt that since he didn't want to recover, then let him not recover at all.

Cheng Han sneered, "When I learned that Brother Xu had killed someone, he suddenly recovered from his illness. Now that he has taken over the case again, Brother Xu can take a breather." The best way to deal with rascals is to let them see what hell is .

……

In the middle of the night, Li Chengfu fell into a drowsy sleep, when suddenly someone got into her bed, lifted her quilt and lay down, with an arm around her stomach.

"It's over if people see you." She closed her eyes and murmured.

Xu Ye changed into a comfortable position and hugged her into his arms, "If you are responsible, you should be responsible to me."

"Well... I am in charge, I love you, sleep, sleep..."

Xu Ye burst out laughing, but he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so as not to invite in the little maid who was on duty outside.

Helping her flick her bangs, said in a low voice, "How did you learn these nonsense?"

After a night without dreams, Cheng Fu woke up to find that Xu Ye hadn't left and was still in a deep sleep, and felt distressed.

Carefully lifted the quilt and got up carefully, but still woke up the other party, "Go on to sleep, I'm going to earn money to support my family." She kissed him on the mouth.

Xu Ye is really tired these days, and the little girl's bed is so comfortable, it's fragrant, soft and warm, how long it can last, "Well, work hard, the child and I can't live in poverty." After speaking, he turned over and lay down Go to the place where the little girl slept before.

The long-awaited, the first round of the Dahe Theater knockout round officially began.Because it has been building momentum for a long time, there are a lot of people here today, especially young people.

"Mother, why does that girl look so familiar, is she Dafeng?"

"Oh, after dressing up, it's really... a phoenix flying up the branches."

"My sister, my sister, sister—"

Someone quickly recognized the girls standing on both sides of the stage, wearing pink and white dresses, and preparing to go on stage. Almost every one of them has undergone earth-shaking changes.And when they heard an acquaintance call themselves, the girls were shy, some pretended not to hear, and some greeted generously.Then seeing Ringo's cold face, everyone calmed down again.

The knockout rounds are arranged quite intensively, covering every day from mid-September to early October.In addition to the canvassing on the big stage of Shuimen Street, there are also performances in the Dahe Theater every three days, and tickets are required for this.Each contestant has a customized coupon, and if you buy it, you are voting for that contestant.

"The clothes are too pretty, can you comb your hair like this?" The girls were concerned.

"Let's not hunch our backs too." Those slim figures with straight backs are unexpectedly so good-looking.

Yan Hui came to Jinling quietly, just to see how Lianghexuan operates the Dahe Theater.It was because of the detailed execution document that described what kind of clothes to wear in the knockout rounds, Yan Hui came to Jinling to watch the match out of curiosity.

The stage is very strong and can accommodate hundreds of people at the same time, but for safety reasons, the maximum number of people on the stage cannot exceed 30.

The period from the primary election to the knockout round was not far away. Some people took consolation money and left the compound because they failed the primary election.

Some Jinling people who have been paying attention since the warm-up period are very curious about what Dahe Theater can bring them.And when those kids actually stood on stage, they were convinced.Lianghexuan turned sparrows into peacocks in his life. Now who can see that most of these children come from poor families.

When the musicians were all in place, the audience realized that there were so many people in the soundtrack alone, and they had never seen many weird instruments.At this time, those who have been in the business all year round feel superior. "The short pipe is a foreign musical instrument. I heard people in Beijing say that it can blow snakes. It's scary."

When the zither sounded, everyone fell silent, only the sound of gurgling water from the canal was around.The girls came to the stage one by one, walked around and introduced themselves to the crowd in all directions.In order to let others have a memory point, the talent master taught me that the way of self-introduction should be special.

Everyone had practiced hundreds of times, but some people were too nervous and stuttered for a long time before they could say their names completely;

Of course, those who perform badly perform well. Some people are probably born to belong to the stage. They are not stage fright at all. Painted girl.

Some people began to scold Lianghexuan for not being a human being. These girls must be so scared because they were bullied so badly. It's so pitiful.

Cheng Fu and Wu Ying:? ? ?

Lin Po felt that he did not do a good job, and was very annoyed, and did not dare to meet Cheng Fu's eyes.

"That's normal."

"Normal?" She didn't understand.

Wu Ying helped Cheng Fu explain: "Look at those who cried and made mistakes, are they all remembered?"

Ringo opened his mouth halfway, not knowing how to react.

"In the future, every time they improve, they will make those who pay attention to them happy. Do you know what kind of psychology this is?" Cheng Fu looked at the men in the crowd who were looking into the waiting area.

Lingo also looked in the direction of her gaze.

"This is the mentality of an old father."

"Varied……"

Wu Ying looked left and right subconsciously, hoping that other people around were busy looking at the people on the stage and not eavesdropping on what they were saying.

"Look, parents are very annoyed by the fact that the infant poops and farts every day, but one day the child suddenly grows teeth and learns to twist his butt when he needs to pee. As a parent, isn't it very gratifying?"

Ling Po pointed at the young men and whispered, "They are still half-grown children."

"Let's wait and see."

The brisk instrumental ensemble interrupted their discussion. The girls who had introduced themselves before bounced back to the stage. Although they still made frequent mistakes, they still tried their best to present the group dance that had been prepared for many days to the audience. Someone was crying and dancing the whole time, so the scene was not to mention how impactful it was.

"She's crying like this and still doesn't have her makeup on. What kind of gouache does Dahe Theater use?" The female audience was concerned.

The highest place on Watergate Street is the tavern, so if you can’t squeeze into the crowd, you can simply go to the tavern and ask for a window seat, and watch while drinking.

Qian Shan and Li Xiaotang took advantage of the favorable geographical conditions, and commented while eating snacks.Ma Xiaodong, on the other hand, didn't have time to care about the cute girls, and sat in a corner, covering his ears and reciting books.

"Who was that wrestler just now?" Li Xiaotang pointed at the stage.

"Which one? Their positions keep changing, and I'm in a mess." The boy brought all the mountain goggles that the cook had just bought from the sea merchant.

Although there is a knockout round every afternoon, it doesn't last long and must end before sunset.

The first day of the show received mixed reviews. Those who scolded said that the world is going downhill and there is no shame, and some people advised parents and elders who sent their children to Dahe Theater to hurry up and take them home.It's hard to find a marriage after being so public all day long.There are also people who have completely accepted this style, and write down all the names of the girls they remember when they go back, planning to go there the next day.

However, the people in Lianghexuan still underestimated the action power of the opponents. Several articles criticizing the Dahe Theater were posted on the tracing wall overnight, and several names were signed under each article.Some people even went to the government to ask Luo Shen to take charge of Lianghexuan, which is not how to earn money.He feels sorry for these young children.

"So what can you do to make them and their families live well?"

"As far as I know, the Dahe Theater did not violate the Law of Dayue, what do you want us to do?" Xu Ye retorted the old scholar before giving Luo Shen a chance to speak.

With just a few words, people were blocked, and finally left the yamen with the support of others.

"Short-sightedness." He murmured in a low voice while stamping the document in front of him.

Luo Shen also felt that the old scholar was being unreasonable in this matter. You must know that performances like Dahe Theater can't be more pure than those in the capital.One is not wearing revealing clothes, two is not in contact with outsiders, just dressed fancy, danced a strange dance, got off the stage without delay, and went back after getting on the carriage... May I ask what is the difference from the storyteller in "Manshang"?
It can't be banned just because it doesn't meet the aesthetics of some people, right?
But Luo Shen can't trouble Lianghexuan for them, and Luo Shen can't prevent them from going to Lianghexuan to post scolding articles.Several places such as Lianghexuanmen Market on Anxiu Street, Jinling Museum, and Dahe Theater were not spared.

Lianghexuan

"When will I not be scolded?" Cheng Fu took a break from his busy schedule to write a new story about the tavern.

They were scolded for lack of meat and high prices, good paper products were monopolized by large households, and they were scolded for not being able to enter the market. In Dao Zun, Liang Baihe fell and injured his leg, but his senior sister, whom he has been secretly in love with, is taking care of others, and she will be scolded.In addition, Xu Ye has been living in the Cheng family; Wu Ying broke with the Wu family; the little brother ignored the matchmaker who proposed marriage... Anyway, she was scolded in the end regardless of whether it was related to her or not.

"Really." Jing Yuanze came to play with them today.

"Speaking of which, what else do you have to do? How about letting me join the gang?" He recently felt that life was very boring.

After writing a sheet, Cheng Fu lifted up the pen, and Jiujiu who was next to her quickly changed a new sheet of paper for her.

"Your father is willing to let you play with us?" Why did he seem to remember that Master Jing Er didn't like her very much.

Jing Yuanze cut his voice, "He doesn't care."

"Okay, I'll think about it after I've been busy for a while." She didn't mean to be perfunctory. The lack of manpower in Lianghexuan is a long-term problem. It would be best if there is a trustworthy partner to undertake their derivative products.

When Wu Ying came out of the counting room, she ran into Jing Yuanze who was in a good mood and was going back home, wondering if this man had cheated on the little girl again.Jing Yuanze was the kind of person who would go to Cheng's family to apologize for his own mistakes, but he could even eat and take food with peace of mind. Wu Ying had already seen through that he was bad.

Just now, I discussed the account with Mr. Mo for the first half of the year. Although they invested a lot, they earned faster.He now feels that he should squander it, otherwise he will spend too much money, and he will be sorry for his hard work in the past few years.

"This guy is not bad, I'm just worried about his family..." The second master of Guangjing was in trouble.

When I was a child, I heard that Master Jing Er wanted his third son to study hard and pass the imperial examination. He had a way to get Jing Yuanze a place in the Imperial Academy.Unexpectedly, Jing Yuanze was rebellious, and he had read into it, but he just didn't want to take the imperial examination, and there was a Cao family who doted on his son too much, Jing Yuanze was now at the same level.

"He's showing sincerity."

There are quite a few partners that Lianghexuan can cooperate with, such as Ming Hengdao and Zhan Shi, both of whom are straightforward and trustworthy.If Jing Yuanze is interested, he must at least have the ability to settle the opposition from his family.

Wu Ying thought for a while and asked, "Did he tell you that Song Shaoxi's sons and daughters are in Jinling at the moment?" Jing Yingyao was still in the capital, and she heard that she had found a marriage for a fourth-rank Beijing official, so she wrote a letter asking for a dowry , Erfang Quan should not know about it, Madam Jing had no choice but to subsidize her out of her own pocket.

"It's not an important matter." Jing Yuanze didn't say anything, probably because he thought it was unnecessary and wouldn't affect anything.
