Chapter 572： Shantang Weird

Chapter 572 Shantang is weird

Qin Huai didn't plan to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. He didn't have that skill, but he didn't take out the name of the Duke of Yongguo, and only took out his identity as a child. If it wasn't for the fact that Empress Qin stopped him halfway, Qin Huai would be a master at the lowest level.

Tongsheng grabbed a lot in Wanning City. He was an unremarkable existence, but it meant that he was also a student.

When students insult the common people, it is a law, and when they insult students, it is another law.

In the end, Scholar Lu apologized to Ayu and compensated him with 10 taels of silver.

10 taels of silver in Wanning City can feed an ordinary family of five for a year. For the students, it is already a compensation for hemorrhage.

"The teachings of the sages have no distinction between men and women. Scholar Lu, you read the book of sages in vain. On weekdays, has the Master ever taught the truth that no misfortune comes out of your mouth?" He said to other students, "Although everyone has their own aspirations, they should not ignore the law in their actions in life. This official will not look into your selfishness, but you must not act recklessly, otherwise the law will teach you!"

The student was busy surrendering, not daring to have a single complaint.

The Dachang law does not say that women should be respected, and women should not be insulted, but it does say that "those who deceive others, take ten; those who insult others, take ten; those who defile people, take ten" and other relevant regulations, and women are naturally here. in the category.

In addition, there is another article in the law: "Those who deceive, humiliate, and defile others first will be severely punished."

The governor did not convict Scholar Lu of deceiving others, but sentenced him to humiliate and slander him, humiliating and slandering others, because the students who took the place of fame could be exempted from punishment, and changed to money or text.

Money redemption is one tael of silver per battle, twenty taels, 10 taels confiscated, and 10 taels of compensation.

Wenxuan was dispatched by the celestial government to do some unpaid clerical work, repaying debts with work, two months for one battle, and forty months for twenty battles.

Scholar Lu will of course choose money to redeem.

After    walked out of the gate of the mansion, Scholar Lu was still indignant, but he remembered the lesson this time, and instead of ranting, he stared at Qin Huai fiercely.

When he achieves success, he must repay today's humiliation!

Ayu seldom hates a person. Even if they are extremely vicious, Ayu does not hate them, but sympathizes with them. There is only darkness in their world, and also sympathy for their sanity being wiped out by chaos.

Scholar Lu, she finds it annoying, because he is not a stupid person, but his brain is not smart.

Outside the yamen, several scholars were indignant, but they knew that this was not the place to talk.

Scholar Lu walked directly to Qin Huai, Qin Huai took Ayu to the side, and then said coldly, "What's the matter?"

"Qin Huai! I, Lu Yu, are reckless, but you are not a good person. Since you were a student who was rushing for the exam, why didn't you explain it clearly? Also, if there is no evidence, it means that it was not you who did it. If you have the ability, we are upright. Let’s compare it, and engage in those inferior tricks, and I’m not afraid to smear the name of the saint!”

Everyone looked at him with a foolish look.

Ayu simply threw the 10 taels of silver in his hand and looked very happy, saying, "Brother Ayou, we picked up 10 taels of silver for nothing, I was on a cruise ship just now and saw a shantang, Let's go buy food for the children in the shantang."

Shantangs only appear in big cities, mainly to help people who cannot afford to eat. The people inside come and go every day, and they are basically lonely and widows.

Qin Huai smiled: "Okay."

A Yu looked at Mrs. Wang again: "Grandma, shall we go to Shantang?"

If Mrs. Wang said something bad, they went to Shantang.

Scholar Lu saw that he was being ignored, and was so angry that he jumped.

He hated Ayu even more in his heart, he didn't know how many times he scolded her in his heart.

"Qin Huai! In this imperial examination, I will definitely be in the top of the list! You wait, if you fall off the list, I will laugh at you!"

At such a young age, he doesn't know how valuable reading is, yet he actually hangs out with a woman. How can such a person be worthwhile?

What   Scholar Lu didn't know was that soon he would be slapped in the face, and he sent his own words back to him completely.

At this moment, A Yu has already dragged Qin Huai and Mrs. Wang to a good hall.

The door of    Shantang is a little old, the two gatekeepers are still dozing off, and a few people can be vaguely seen cleaning inside.

Ayu didn't buy it directly, but thought about going to the Shantang to have a look.

"This little brother, may I ask, how many poor people are there in Shantang?"

In fact, there is also a shantang in Fucheng, which is kept clean and tidy, but it is also a bit deserted inside. During the study tour, I occasionally encounter one or two, but it is not lively.

Therefore, Ayu doesn't go often.

It's mainly about the ten taels of silver today. She doesn't want it. Of course it's not good to throw it away. It's not bad to use it to do something good.

Hearing someone ask questions, the gatekeeper on the left woke up and saw Ayu and his group, still a little stunned: "Little lady, who are you?"

"We are planning to give something to the poor people in the shantang," said Ayu.

The poor person does not refer to the poor people inside, but a general term for those who are helped by the shantang. Ayu listens to it a lot and calls it.

"Oh, it's not a coincidence that you came here." The gatekeeper said, "This morning, there was a kind-hearted master who found work for the poor people and gave them wages in advance. So all the poor people in the shantang went there. There's not one left."

A Yu was surprised: "Not a single one left? Are all men, women and children gone? What kind of work is it?"

"I don't know too much. They say that they work on the dock. The more they do, the more they can get. If children and old women do it, they can manage at least one full meal a day, but they don't have wages. As soon as they thought it was fine, they went along." The gatekeeper said, "There are also many high-spirited people among the poor people. They don't want to eat and drink in the shantang all day long, so they just want to earn some wages by themselves."

Ayu still felt something was wrong: "Do you know that rich man? Which pier did they go to, and did they say they would come back?"

The gatekeeper opened his mouth, but before he spoke, the other gatekeeper also woke up and said unhappily, "Little lady, we are the gatekeepers, how can we manage so much? Besides, the poor people are not under the jurisdiction of our shantang. People, they are much freer than us, they can come and go as they want, how can we manage so much?"

said, he also glared at the other gatekeeper: "You just say a few things from hearsay, you just talk nonsense, and those who are careful will scold you again."

The two were talking to themselves, ignoring Ayu and the others at all.

Ayu looked at Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang raised her chin: "Go to your grandpa first."

A discerning person knows something is wrong, of course it is not as simple as it seems.

Ayu didn't bother for the time being. They came to Sansijie just to find the second uncle and then the grandfather.

Sansi Street is a treasure. It can be described as an inch of land and an inch of gold. During the annual scientific research, even the corridor of the house can be rented out.

And Mrs. Wang bought an entire yard here and turned it into ten small dwellings. In each of the small dwellings, there are sparrows, although small, with complete internal organs.

Six small dwellings were rented out at a price ranging from 12 to 100 taels per month, and the remaining four were left by Mrs. Wang for the Wang family’s children.

Wang Chuangui lived in one of the small residences.

After passing the Shantang, and walking more than 100 steps, we arrived at the yard bought by Mrs. Wang.

The person standing at the door is not the head of the old king, who is it?

"Grandpa!" Ayu shouted loudly.
