System, help me become the empress

Chapter 203
After dawn.

Xu Youxi went for a stroll outside, more and more keywords were stimulated in his mind, and finally, he stopped in front of the mirror placed at the entrance of the shop.

She remembered.

Her name is Xu Youxi, a civil servant who graduated from university three years ago, and her life has been as ordinary as water.

The person in the mirror is not her, but she looks % similar to her in her previous life, except that the eyes of this body are not short-sighted, and she is thinner than in her previous life.

Xu Youxi stayed in front of the mirror for a while, then left as if nothing had happened.She originally planned to find a job to make ends meet, but judging from the current situation, she had to understand the situation of this era as soon as possible.

Thankfully the world doesn't have a bias that says women can't work.

At this time, the teahouse in Yaoguang City was reading a newspaper. In front of the storyteller, there was a copy of "Gan Bao" and "Jiangnan Major Events".

Xu Youxi had no money with him, so he wandered outside the teahouse, listening to what was being said inside.

"The train boiler exploded?" Xu Youxi recalled the situation when he first came to this world, and whispered to himself, "It turned out that the owner of this body had an accident. Could it be that the huge explosion caused a rift in time and space, so I and this The soul of the master of the body has been swapped?"

"The train from Jiangnan to Shangjing... Should I go to the Railway Bureau to investigate the situation of this body?"

The teahouse gradually talked about the whole story of the bombing.The explosion happened yesterday morning, the people from the imperial court arrived in the afternoon, and the truth spread out in the evening.

"The instigator of this explosion was an old man named Qi Laojiu. This old man was once one of the first train captains recruited by the steam train."

"I don't know if you still remember that when the steam train first came out, the boiler pressure was unstable, and news of the explosion of the freight train would come out from time to time? So at that time, the selection of the train captain did not depend on age, but on who If you are courageous, no one is afraid of death!"

"Qi Laojiu was very famous at that time and became one of the first batch of train captains. However, a few months ago, the Railway Bureau issued a new policy. In order to ensure the safety of passengers, all senior train captains will be resigned, and all train conductors will be guaranteed. They are all young adults in their 30s."

"Old coach Qi Laojiu refused to accept it, so he made a living. Based on his familiarity with train steam engines, he decided to take the entire train to be buried with him."

"God doesn't like people with vicious thoughts like this, so in the end only Qi Laojiu died in the exploding train, his wife was dying of a serious disease, and his only son was still mentally ill. This is good and evil will be rewarded." Bar."

The audience in the teahouse kept applauding, using all kinds of ugly words to mock Qi Laojiu.

Xu Youxi looked at the matter completely from the perspective of a bystander, not judging right or wrong, but only had a few doubts.

First, why did the Railway Bureau suddenly fire all the elderly train captains and replace them with a group of young people?

Is there any benefit transfer in this?
Second, Qi Laojiu obviously had evil thoughts after a family accident. Why was he listed as a typical example of "evil comes with evil"?

Is someone changing the concept secretly.

Third, how did Qi Laojiu die?

The planner of the bombing turned out to be the only victim who died in the bombing?Since he knew the train was going to explode, why did he get on the train?There are more than 100 people in the whole train, why can't he escape?
Countless thoughts flashed through Xu Youxi's mind.

It's an article full of loopholes.

After the teahouse finished speaking, Xu Youxi also found a corner and ate the whole day's dry food given to her by the shelter.

Well, keep looking for a job.

and many more.

Did "Injustice" last night mean that the first few years of middle school are free, and board and lodging are also included?
Xu Youxi asked about the location of the middle school through a passer-by, and saw the recruitment of physics and chemistry teachers on the notice board at the door, and those who have basic knowledge are preferred.

This she will!
She is a science student!

Liberal Arts No. in science class!

#
At this time, the middle school office area.

"How many years have you been studying?"

The principal of the middle school looked at Xu Youxi and asked.

"16."

"Which subject do you plan to apply for as a teacher?"

"Mathematics, physics, chemistry, I know some."

She asked 'Student of the Wrong Kind', no, it was Yuan Zhong who had borrowed their middle school textbook, and it contained some very basic theoretical knowledge, which she understood.

The principal asked the teachers behind him to come out and ask Xu Youxi many questions, and found that she was indeed fluent in answering, and her current level was at least above middle school.

You must know that the first batch of middle school students will not graduate until next year, but judging by the girl's understanding of middle school knowledge, it is very likely that she has gone to college.

The principal suppressed the shock in his heart, and calmly mentioned a few more contents related to college textbooks.

Xu Youxi answered without thinking.

"Where are you from? Which academy did you study in?"

Xu Youxi prepared the names of several academies in advance, but she was also afraid that the headmaster would go and investigate, so she didn't intend to lie unless it was absolutely necessary.

"Principal, to tell you the truth, I signed a gambling agreement with my family and ran out this time, and I don't even have a penny on me. You can test my understanding of several courses, but if you insist on my Please forgive me for not being able to tell the truth.”

"I'm afraid that won't work." The headmaster shook his head after deliberating over and over again, "We don't accept teachers with unknown backgrounds."

Xu Youxi observed the principal's expression for a long time, and after confirming that the other party was not 'perfunctory' or 'testing' himself, he took the initiative to say: "Then I will bother you, goodbye."

Ugh.

This middle school principal will never know what he has lost! ! !
"Wait, although I can't arrange for you to be a middle school teacher, I still have a job here, and it depends on whether you are willing to do it." The principal stood up anxiously from his chair, fearing that Xu Youxi would run away.

Xu Youxi paused: "Say it."

"The Yamen started to run the local newspaper of Yaoguang City this year. Currently, there are not enough manpower to edit the manuscripts. If you really have difficulties, maybe you can try this job."

"I have no experience in this field." Xu Youxi wondered.

Since the principal guessed that Xu Youxi had at least a college degree or above, his attitude towards her has improved a lot, and it looks like he wants to recruit her.

"Food and housing are included, and the monthly salary is double that of a middle school teacher. Every time your manuscript is published, there will be an extra commission."

"Tell me the request and I can write it now."

"Don't be so anxious, you can rest for a few days..."

Xu Youxi made a humble request: "When I finish writing the manuscript, can you give me a little salary in advance?"

"Do you know what to write?"

The principal wondered, there hasn't been any big news in Yaoguang City recently, no matter how powerful this girl is, she can't make it up out of thin air, right?

"Can you lend me the "Jiangnan Major Events" in front of you?"

Xu Youxi took the newspaper and looked at ten lines at a glance. It turned out that the article about the train bombing that the storyteller just said came from this newspaper.

"I see, can you lend me a pen and ink?"

"Please."

Xu Youxi picked up the brush and rice paper beside the principal's desk, and began to write without thinking.

Title of the article: Comments on the train bombing in "Jiangnan Dashibao".

The principal and several teachers around gathered around one after another, looking at Xu Youxi's beautiful brush calligraphy, they were full of praise.

"This, yes, why didn't I think of it, why did the train bureau replace all the train directors in the first place?"

"That's right, why did Qi Laojiu, who caused the explosion, become the only victim?"

At first, everyone thought that Xu Youxi's calligraphy was beautiful, but they were quickly attracted by the content of her articles.

Even the principal couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart, people who have gone to college are really different.

The words written by Xu Youxi are vigorous and straight to the heart, and the whole article is only about words.

"Principal, what do you think of this article?"

The principal touched his body and found the only 20 yuan left: "I don't have much money on me, so you take this for emergency first. After I discuss with the newspaper office and President Jia, I will try to advance the salary to the school tomorrow." You, you can go to the teacher's dormitory next door and choose a yard you like to live in."

"Thank you principal, I'll go back and do some shopping, and I'll live in tonight."

As soon as Xu Youxi left, the principal hurriedly took Xu Youxi's manuscript, and couldn't wait to find Jia Hu, the person in charge of the newspaper: "Old Jia, come quickly and read this manuscript."

Jia Hu is a middle-aged man with round eyes, sitting on the rocking chair at this time, he said casually, "What's all the fuss about?"

"Look at it first." The headmaster was beaming.

"That's great, who wrote this!" Jia Huxi said.

"A young girl I met today wanted to apply for a job as a middle school teacher. But she said she signed a gambling agreement with her family, so she refused to reveal her identity. I took a few questions to test her, and she was able to answer all of them well. Let me tell you, this girl must be at least at the university level. It's a pity that the imperial court has regulations not to accept teachers with unknown backgrounds, and I don't want to part with such talents, so I recommend her to you." The principal continued.

Jia Hu looked serious, and sat upright: "Thank you, where is the girl now? I don't know, what is the employment standard for college students? Salary and residence can't be wronged."

"Don't worry about that, I'll let her choose the place to live in the dormitory of the middle school. As for the salary, I mentioned that the salary of the middle school teacher is doubled, and the article she writes and publishes in the newspaper will be rewarded separately. This girl is not well-off at the moment. , wait for someone to come over tomorrow, you advance the salary to them first."

"No problem, can I post this article? Taking advantage of the high popularity of the 'train bombing case', if "Yaocheng Daily" publishes this article at this time, it will definitely attract many readers to come back!"

When Jia Hu said this, his eyes were shining. "Yaocheng Daily" is not as powerful as "Ganbao", nor does it have the mass base of "Jiangnan Major Events". Even the people of Yaoguang City don't buy it, let alone other places.

The government office of Yaoguang City is very worried about this matter, for fear that the imperial court's task at the end of the year will not be completed.

Now, there is hope!

"The girl said she would come back at night, you should ask yourself."

Xu Youxi returned to the homeless shelter.

Only then did I realize that the women in the shelter were all surrounded by the old woman.

"What happened?"

The woman hurriedly pulled Xu Youxi aside, and said in a low voice: "A few people from the yamen came to look for Grandma just now. They said that Grandma's husband blew up a train, and now he is dead. Come and ask Grandma about her husband's life. There are no clues left, such as why such an outrageous thing was done."

"what?"

Xu Youxi quickly realized it, but she never thought that her husband would be Qi Laojiu who bombed the train!

"Shh, keep your voice down. Grandma has been crying since she found out about this, and she vomited blood three or four times in the middle, and she's lost her mind at the moment. The doctor can't even see it, and I don't know if she can make it through."

"I know." Xu Youxi sighed, walked up to Grandma, and tried to shout, "Grandma?"

Grandma didn't answer, she just kept crying on her own, clutching the bed sheet tightly with both hands, her face was very ashen.

I don't know how long the time has passed, but Grandma suddenly clenched the hands of the people around her, her pupils brightened, "Let me meet Bao'er."

Baoer is the son of my grandmother. He is in his 40s this year, but his intelligence is still at the age of three or four. He lives in a shelter like his grandmother.

When a person is about to die, no matter how big a wish is, the people in the shelter are willing to help her realize it.

Xu Youxi stood by and watched this scene of life and death, which really made people feel depressed.

Grandma's son came and squatted beside Grandma's bed with clean eyes.

Granny stuck to her son's ear and said repeatedly: "Bao'er, you have to believe that your father is a very gentle person."

Not long after, Grandma passed away.

No matter how ignorant her son was, he realized that something was wrong and lay down beside the bed crying bitterly.

The woman who was also in the shelter also began to weep, not knowing whether it was because she was saddened by the death of her grandma, or because she seemed to see her own lonely and helpless future.

"Grandma is literate and has read a lot of books, what a pity."

"Good people don't live long."

"Bao'er, what should I do now..."

The homeless center arranged for someone to bury the grandmother's body and set up a tombstone.

Before leaving the shelter, Xu Youxi bid farewell to these women who had expressed kindness to her.

"It's good to be young, and there must be a lot of hope in the future."

"After going out, find a job, save some money and buy a house, so that you can retire in the future."

"Will you go out and have a look?" Hearing Xu Youxi's question, these women who had experienced many vicissitudes smiled wryly and bowed their heads in silence.

The outside world does not belong to them, as if only the narrow and crude shelter is the momentary reality they can grasp.

"If there is a place out there that doesn't dislike everything about you and is willing to recruit you to work, will you go out?"

"meeting."

……

Xu Youxi felt that she had a sense of mission in her body.

—One day, I will take you out.

Xu Youxi secretly hid this sentence in her heart. Someone said that when you want to do something, try your best to do it. If you say it in advance, you will often not be able to complete it.

　Xixi is not miserable, she just went out to experience the suffering of the people!

　　In order to be a good emperor, one must follow the mass line, in order to see the deficiencies of the people and the deficiencies of policies.
