Qing Chuanzhi Nian's non-stick

Chapter 22

Two of Jinyu's three girls were seasick, and Jinyu didn't have to be waited on, so she waved them off to rest.

Not only the two girls were seasick, but also the elder brothers Sixteen and Seventeen, who spent the whole journey in the cabin.

Jinyu was bored by herself, so she took Zhu'er to the deck of the boat to chat with the boatman.

"Old man, are you Guigeng?" Jinyu looked at the old man who might be in his 70s or [-]s, and didn't quite understand why he was still running the boat at such an old age.Jinyu and his party came out with Kangxi, but Kangxi did not take a large boat on a whim, so he insisted on finding a medium-sized boat, and there were only three rooms. Kangxi lived in one with his two elder brothers, and the girls Living in one room, the rest of the men huddled together, Jinyu didn't know what it was, but the old man was happy, so everyone could only listen.

"Girl, the old man is 67 this year." The boatman said tremblingly.

"Girl, are you going to Yangzhou? Are you visiting relatives?" the boatman asked.

"Old man, yes. By the way, visit the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River." Jinyu said with a smile, "Old man, you are so old, why do you still run the boat yourself?"

Jinyu felt that although she was not punting the boat by herself, it was quite hard work to watch.Shouldn't the elderly enjoy the happiness at home!
"Girl, you are a lady from a wealthy family, how can you understand the suffering of us common people?" The boatman said with emotion.

Jinyu had some doubts. The old man lived in the area of ​​Yangzhou. Logically speaking, his income should be good, so Jinyu asked these questions when he had doubts.

It's just that Jinyu didn't expect that the answer to her was actually sarcasm.

"Girl, you really don't know who is hungry when you are full. The rich will always be your big families, either officials or businessmen. What does it have to do with us common people? You can't pay the taxes every year. How can you be in the mood? Enjoy the blessings!" The boatman's words made Jinyu look bad, but Jinyu had nothing to do, and he didn't do it on purpose, whoever told him to step on a thunderbolt.

"Old man, what do you say?" Jinyu didn't want to ask anymore, but when she was about to leave, the old man came out and motioned Jinyu to continue.

Jinyu had no choice but to continue this topic.

"Girl, old man, I think you must be a lady of every family. You are by no means an ordinary person. You don't understand the lives of ordinary people at all." As for the boatman, Jinyu could only nod. The common people are really not in the slightest.

"We people are born to be trampled by others, and the money we earn every year is not enough for ourselves, not to mention that the officials and masters of Yangzhou Prefecture have to collect some card fees."

"Old man, what is the fee, please forgive my ignorance." Jinyu thought about why she was called by such an awkward name.

"The card fee, as the name suggests, is the fee for the checkpoint." The old man was very angry when he mentioned this, "We run the boat non-stop every day, and we can earn two taels of silver every month when the business is good, but we have to pay a lot of money for this. Half, when the business is not good, you have to pay at least one tael if you have no money to earn. This is how our big family can live!"

Jinyu looked at Kangxi, not knowing how to continue, the old man's mood was a little high.

"The boatman, don't you know that the imperial court does not have this tax?" Zhang Tingyu was worthy of being Kangxi's confidant, and asked Kangxi's questions.

"Imperial court? Guest officer, you really know how to joke. Even a boatman like me knows that the emperor is far away from Shangao. Why don't you understand this?" The old man's voice was full of contempt.

"Old man, how do you live when you can't pay the money?" A Ling'a asked the question that Kangxi wanted to know the most. Kangxi glanced at A Ling'a and thought to himself, who said that A Ling'a is an old general Rude and mindless, look at this question for a while.

"You're asking a good question. How do we people live without money? Selling our sons and daughters, the children of our poor families are worthless, no more than the children of your official families." When the old man thought of his family's childhood The big girl who sold it was angry.

Although Kangxi has not spoken, nor has any expression.But Jinyu knew that Kangxi was very angry now, and it shouldn't be anger.

"Old man, who do you sell your children to?" Jinyu asked, she still has some selfishness, can she buy some for her own education, those dolls have been sold since childhood, not everyone can remember My parents, after following me, I wouldn't treat them badly, would I?
"Who are you selling it to? The four big families in Jinling, hey, you don't know it at first glance. The so-called four big families are the historians, the Jia family, the Xue family, and the Wang family." The old man paused after speaking, "We in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Every child knows that there is such a folk song! Jiabujia, white jade is used as a horse for Tangjin. Afang Palace, three hundred miles away, cannot accommodate a history of Jinling. There is a lack of white jade beds in the East China Sea. The Dragon King came to invite the King of Jinling. Fengnian What a heavy snow (Xue), pearls are like earth and gold is like iron."

Jinyu was stunned for a moment, the four major families, is this what later generations call the Red Mansion?Jinyu glanced at Kangxi with her eyes, saw that Kangxi was trembling with anger, and hurriedly said: "Old man, is it as outrageous as you said? According to what you say, isn't it richer than the emperor?"

It was intentional, absolutely intentional, indeed, Jinyu was just adding fuel to the fire, she really wanted to see how rich those people in the red building were.So she was very angry with Kangxi, she knew that Kangxi must keep the four big families in mind.

Zhu'er next to him didn't know what to say about his master, he saw the emperor coming even when he was watching the play.

Sure enough, servants follow the master, let's see who Jinyu has raised.

"Presumptuous." Kangxi glared at Jinyu, he still had to guess with her petty thoughts, but even if she didn't provoke him, he, Xuan Ye, wanted to see the so-called four major families.

"Grandma, don't be angry." Jinyu saw that Kangxi was angry, and hurried over to see, "It hurts you to be angry!"

Zhang Tingyu, who was next to him, saw Jinyu's obsequious expression, and smiled unkindly.

Jinyu would not pay any attention to him, the business is to coax the big boss first.

"Grandma, do you think the four big families in Jinling are too presumptuous? Should we go there and have a look?" Jinyu said with a smile.

"That's up to you to say. Calling me daddy or father in the future is too pretentious. There are mostly Han people here! Remember?" Kangxi's anger is obviously still there.

Jinyu nodded: "Understood, Daddy! How polite to call father, isn't it, Daddy?"

"You're the only one with a lot of bad ideas." Kangxi said.

"Old man, what is the origin of the four major families?" March asked after watching for a long time.

"I don't know very well. I only know that the Jia family is the leader of the four major families. It is said that there is a daughter who is a concubine in the palace. The four major families of King Jia, Shi Xue, seem to be the emperor's servants in clothes, and the backstage is hard. !" Ma Qi saw that the emperor's face changed when he heard this, and he changed his words tightly and asked.

"As far as I know, there is no concubine surnamed Jia in the palace, but there is one nobleman." Ma Qi thought to himself that it is probably the nobleman Jia.

"That's not what the old man knows. As for the Xue family is an imperial merchant, and the Xue family of the Wang family seems to be someone who is an official in the court." It's hard to blame the boat family. The faces of these people are so old that they are still trembling. It's over.

Jinyu couldn't stand it anymore, and pulled the donkey faces one by one, what to do if people were scared, "Old man, how long until we arrive in Yangzhou?"

"Girl, it's still six or seven hours. You and the masters go to the boat to rest. My daughter-in-law will prepare the food in a while." Kangxi and the others are streamlined along the way, so they don't pay so much attention to food. up.In addition, Ju'er was seasick and couldn't cook for herself, so Jinyu Kangxi and his party ate whatever the boatman prepared.

"Then thank you, old man." Jinyu didn't want Kangxi and his party to stay on the deck any longer, so she quickly thanked her and helped Kangxi to walk into the cabin.

"Grandma, why were you so serious just now? That boatman is not easy. Besides, you are angry because you have trouble with your body. How about going to Jinyu to help you back to your room and bring you some strawberries?" When Yu left, he brought a lot of strawberries, and he didn't bring any other fruits, except for a small basket of strawberries in the car.

"What's more, you don't worry at all, girl, did you mean to anger me just now?" Kangxi is not very angry now, but he remembered Jinling.

"How can it be, Mr. Zhang, you say yes, who dares to be angry with the master?" Jinyu winked at Zhang Tingyu who was on the side.

Zhang Tingyu and the other two did not answer, but nodded with a smile.

Cut, Jinyu thought, what to pretend.

But soon she will be able to see the characters in the red building, and it is not in vain to guide her right to speak.

Sister Lin, Brother Bao, haha, Jinyu and I are here to watch the play.Jinyu has long been yearning for the characters in the Red Mansion.In the first life, she didn't have that leisure time at all. She estimated that Jiangnan was here. In the 21st century, she saw the smash hit "Dream of Red Mansions", read the analysis of many experts, Jinyu, and the customs of her life in the Qing Dynasty and what she saw and heard. , Jinyu immediately determined that this must have happened during the Kangxi period.

Concubines surnamed Jia are only owned by Lord Kangxi. As for the family visitation mentioned in the book, it is completely nonsense, just like the palace gate is deep in the sea, who has the privilege to visit relatives?

However, she is very interested in the saying that the crimson bead grass repays Shenying's waiter's blessing of irrigation!

Still crying!It must be interesting!
It's just that Jinyu is destined to be disappointed!
Can this Qing Dynasty, which she has realized and changed, still follow the track of history?Jinyu has completely forgotten about such a thing!Now she is still dreaming of drinking tea and watching a big show!
