Quick Travel: Jing Yuan's Wanderings

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the annual court meeting is held.

The complicated situation in the court had little to do with the common people living in the suburbs of Beijing.

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan, who was hiding something in his heart, was chewing a chicken bone when he accidentally broke his front tooth with a crisp "crack"!

With his mouth half open, he stared blankly at the teeth in his hand, unable to come back to his senses for a long time!

Interstellar law stipulates that people become adults at the age of thirty.

The original owner was less than 36 years old at most, and he started losing his teeth?

In the past, people called him "old man" or "father-in-law", thinking that he looked old because of his hard work.

In fact, I don’t have any deep understanding of the word "old" in my heart.

Those who can walk, move, eat, drink and work hard;

As for the white hair on his head, he wore his hair in a bun that was only washed and let down once every ten days or half a month, and he never looked in the mirror. It would be strange if he could realize that this body was approaching old age.

Besides, he looks so handsome with silver hair!

When he was young, he dyed his hair white many times.

Until this tooth appeared in the palm of my hand.

I have to say, when I first saw it, I was a little surprised!

Unbelievable!

Is the average life expectancy of our ancestors so short?

"Ahem... Xia Xia, find me a piece of red cloth later. I'll wrap it up and bury it under the big locust tree in the old house!"

Jing Chuxia's eyes turned red with heartache. She lowered her head and replied calmly:

"Okay, Dad, after dinner, I'll go to the old house with you."

"No, I'm in good health. I'll go by myself. You don't need to accompany me."

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan said this as he used a serving chopstick to pick up a chicken leg and put it into his daughter's bowl. He then picked up the bowl and drank the porridge in silence.

After a moment of feeling, I soon let go of the matter of "losing teeth".

Birth, aging, sickness and death are the laws of nature. What's more, just like playing a holographic online game, there are countless dimensions waiting for him ahead!

The matter of the British Duke's Mansion is the top priority.

"By the way, don't leave me any lunch at noon. I'm going to go to the city to take a walk and pay the cleaning fee for my mule cart and change it to a Hsinchu brand."

"understood."

Jing Chuxia followed the instructions obediently. It was normal for her father to feel bad and want to wander around alone.

However, I still have to find something for my father to do to divert his attention.

So, smiling sweetly and acting coquettishly:

"By the way, Dad, I want to eat candied haws. Can you bring me some on the way?"

"It's just a candied haws, dad will buy it for you!

Well, buy a basket of hawthorns and a few bags of rock sugar. When you want to eat them later, Dad will make them for you. I guarantee they will taste much better than what you buy outside!"

……

After dinner, Lieutenant General Jing Yuan put on a cotton hat and rabbit fur gloves, wrapped himself up tightly, and drove a luxurious mule cart to the old house.

The winter morning sun is not warm at all.

The wind was biting and it was very cold.

At first glance, everything is white and frost.

The ground under the old locust tree was frozen hard.

It's impossible to dig it out.

Helpless, I had to go to the kitchen and boil a large pot of hot water to thaw it.

Alas, I don’t know where this custom came from.

When a child loses a tooth, he throws it on the roof.

When old people lose their teeth, bury them under a tree!

What else can I do? When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

The original nursery rhyme spread throughout Shangjing City, and Lieutenant General Jing Yuan was inexplicably filled with confidence.

I have been reading like crazy these days, and I want to show off my literary talent from time to time!

The tooth was wrapped in red cloth, carefully stuffed into a bamboo tube, covered with a lid, and buried in the pit.

He stomped the soil carefully, locked the door, and went straight to the Urban Management Bureau.

After paying two taels of silver with a painful heart and exchanging them for two Hsinchu cards, he went to the most famous restaurant in Xicheng District, Yingbinlou.

The big red lanterns are hung high!

In teahouses and taverns, the hustle and bustle of the New Year is still there.

The lobby was bustling with people playing finger-guessing games, drinking, and bragging. It was very lively.

Led by the waiter, I sat down at a small square table in the corner.

A small jar of pear blossom liquor, two plates of side dishes, eating and drinking while listening to gossip from the next table.

"Hey, have you heard? Imperial Concubine Rou has fallen out of favor and has been demoted to a concubine!"

"Huh? Man, you're behind on the news! It happened three days ago, so it's worth your while to mention it."

"Why are you in such a hurry? The key is still to come. My wife's brother's sister's husband's nephew is working in the General of Cavalry's Mansion.

I heard that the General of the Cavalry had brought his testimony to the court early in the morning and sued Roupin's father, the Minister of Revenue, Lord Jiang:

He was ungrateful and, in order to help his beloved concubine, who was also Roupin's biological mother, ascend to the throne, he disregarded moral principles, poisoned his wife, and forced his daughter to death. He was not worthy of being a human being.

I heard that the evidence is conclusive and the whole family has been sent to prison.

Bah, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. If it were you, I would say that this kind of person should be chopped into pieces and thrown into a frying pan, and the cooked meat should all be thrown into a mass grave to feed the dogs!"

"Who says it's not true? Back then, the General of the Cavalry married his beloved daughter with a grand ceremony, and Lord Jiang was just an unknown scholar from a poor family!

After rising to prominence with the help of Yue's family, he turned around and betrayed his oath, taking his cousin as his concubine, on the grounds that "there are three unfilial acts, and the worst is to have no descendants."

Who knows what kind of dirty things are hidden inside!

Maybe Lord Jiang has committed adultery with his cousin a long time ago!"

"Bah! What a rotten thing! I think Roupin is definitely not innocent. Do you know the popular nursery rhymes these days?"

"You mean, the lonely soul in another world refers to Rou..."

"Hush, don't talk nonsense about royal affairs!"

"Tsk, why should we be afraid of this? The news has spread everywhere. The Duke of Yingguo's family, the Queen's mother's family, knows about it! This morning, as soon as the government office opened, they tied up a group of people and threw them in."

"What do you mean? To abolish the legitimate wife and kill the good generals?"

"Fuck! Isn't this a pure evil concubine who brings disaster to the country? She should be burned as a sacrifice to the gods!"

"Hush! You can't say that, this Roupin has done a lot of good things!

The new accounting method and Chaohui Women's College are great things that benefit the country and the people!

Especially the women’s college, my daughter is still studying there!

What should I do if I get implicated and go bankrupt? "

Go, just say you forgot something?

When he suddenly heard about Chaohui Women's College, Lieutenant General Jing Yuan couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. His nose started to itch and he sneezed three times in succession!

"Tsk, it's okay!

As far as I know, the Chaohui Women's College was mainly funded and built by the Prime Minister's wife, and Concubine Rou was just given a title.

Your Majesty is wise and will not implicate innocent people!"

[After hearing this, Lieutenant General Jing Yuan’s heart, which had been hanging high, finally settled down a little.]

"Yes, yes, you are right, brother, His Majesty is kind-hearted.

When the late emperor was in power, he personally supervised disaster relief efforts many times!

After ascending the throne, he reduced taxes, issued new policies and encouraged business.

These days, I am becoming more and more hopeful.

It is a blessing for us common people to have such a king.

Another day, I will go to the Huguo Temple and add some incense money, wishing His Majesty a long life and endless happiness..."

"Okay, that's great, we can go together then!"

"Add me one."

……

Then the topic gradually turned to other things.

After Lieutenant General Jing Yuan got the information he wanted, he began to drink comfortably.

……

Time flows slowly!

In the spotlight:

On the 16th day of the first lunar month, the main gate of Chaohui Women's College opened and school started as usual.

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan followed the crowd and praised: "Your Majesty is wise!"

……

The ice and snow melt and everything revives.

In the blink of an eye, Taohua Villa was transformed into a sea of ​​flowers!

Li Erniu is a capable person and can even make peach blossom wine!

So, everyone started to get busy with the wine making!

By the time everything was done, it was already April!

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan was worried and hid in his old house alone.

I didn't get a good night's sleep for three nights in a row.

I was so anxious and angry that two more teeth became loose.

Early in the morning on April 4, she carried freshly baked peach blossom cakes and went to the back door of the Duke of England's Mansion to visit her old friend Jiang Ershan.

After chatting for most of the morning, the morning court session had already ended and there was no unusual movement in the mansion!

Since the Empress was not deposed, the legitimate prince naturally had no successor!

It seems that I will most likely not go on this year’s trip to Northeast China.

The final result will depend on tomorrow!

On April 5th, I strolled around the capital city for half a day and deliberately passed by the main gate of the Duke of Xiaying's mansion, but I did not see any soldiers or officials surrounding the mansion!

good news!

Great news!

The original owner's two wishes were both fulfilled. Lieutenant General Jing Yuan was so happy that he immediately drove to Daqiu Money House and exchanged gold bars worth five hundred taels of silver notes.

After thinking about it, he felt it was not enough, so he exchanged it for gold and silver melon seeds and peanuts worth five hundred taels of silver notes!

Quietly stored in the system warehouse.

I have lost several teeth and I might die one day. I have to be prepared to return to the void at any time, right?
