It is said that Erlang was lucky to have Fang Daru as his teacher. On that day, Uncle Liu took Erlang to visit Zhuwanju. In fact, he was just received by the housekeeper, had a cup of tea and handed over a few articles. The two of them were doing this.
He was well prepared but failed to become a disciple, so he was not too disappointed. Just as he was about to return home, Uncle Liu met an old classmate, and the two couldn't help but reminisce about old times.
The bored Erlang took a stroll in the front yard with the permission of the housekeeper. Zhuwanju was a courtyard specially built by Fang Daru for his wife. It was naturally ingenious and unique. It had the elegance and chic of Jiangnan gardens and the style of northern architecture.
The atmosphere is magnificent, especially the bamboo garden. "I would rather eat meat than live without bamboo" is the most true portrayal of Zhuwanju. The bamboo buildings are shadowy and charming. As Erlang walked and admired them, he couldn't help but think: Little
If my sister could see her, she would definitely like it very much. When conditions permit, I would also build a bamboo building like this for my little sister to use as a boudoir.
Just when Erlang was imagining his little sister's cheerful smile when she saw the beautiful and unique little bamboo house, there was a noise not far away.
"You old woman, I have to go this time. I have made an appointment with the old man. If I don't go, I will break my promise to him. He will definitely laugh at me! You will be in charge of Dongguan every day.
"Xi, you're not allowed to do this, or you're not allowed to eat that, are you bothered? It's really hard to raise a villain and a woman, I don't care, I have to go anyway," I saw an old man with white hair and beard not far away blowing
The old woman stared at the beard, blushed and jumped around. The old woman with silver hair on one side and a face with wrinkles that still vaguely showed the beauty of her youth looked at the old man with a smile and only stopped him from going out. But she allowed him to make endless noises with a smile on her face.
He looked at the old man tenderly with a tolerant smile, which made Erlang feel warm in his heart.
"Wow, wow, wow,,, you're cheating. You know I can't stand you looking at me like this. You used this trick against me when you were young, and you're doing it again when you're old? Huh, I'm not happy, in my heart
I'm depressed, have a headache, stomachache, and foot pain. My whole body starts to hurt!" The old man squatted down, acting like a child.
The old woman looked at the old man funny and angrily. She knew that he was probably just pretending, but she couldn't help but asked worriedly: "Are you okay? What's wrong with you? Do you want to see a doctor? You said you are a year old.
Why bother fighting with Master Wuwei when you already have great-grandchildren? He suddenly fell down a few days ago, which made the children worried. You just happened to be thinking about quarreling with Master Wuwei. Where is Master Wuwei?
In the deep mountains, with inconvenient access, what should we do if something happens to you?"
This old man is naturally Fang Daru. Seventy years of life are rare in ancient times. Now Fang Daru is over seventy years old. People say old and young, old and young. This Fang Daru is a typical example. Now he looks like a naughty boy. What do you think of it?
No matter what, only his wife's words could be heard.
Fang Daru and the Buddhist master Wuwei are said to be close friends. It is better to say that they are bad friends. They have been fighting since they were young until now. They compete in literature, Buddhism, and chess. Anyway, I lose this year, but he wins next year.
There was no stopping, both of them were busy people, so they made an appointment to have a competition in May every year. Whoever lost the previous year would be the one to come to the next year. It happened that last year, Fang Daru lost to Fang Daru while playing chess.
He lost Master Wuwei, so this year it’s time for Fang Daru to go find Master Wuwei. According to Fang Daru’s idea: He lost last year, and if he doesn’t come to get it back this year, wouldn’t he make that old boy Wuwei laugh? I’m not sure.
That guy Wuwei also wanted to slander him in front of a group of familiar old guys, saying that he didn't dare to see anyone after losing!
"Anyway, I just feel bad. Oh, I'm going to die. I'm going to die. If that old boy Wuwei goes around slandering me and saying that I don't dare to come to my house after losing, what will I do? You old woman, why do you want to stop me?
"Look at me, what kind of care do you women have when men do things? I don't know my own body yet, I told you it doesn't matter, I just ate too fast and choked," Fang Daru said.
Whitebeard continued to stare and act rogue. If he sat down on the ground and kicked his feet, he would look more like a naughty child.
Thinking of the same trick the triplets used when they were young to ask for things from their little sister, Erlang couldn't help but laugh. He was depressed for a few days after being hit, and it was rare that he was in a good mood.
"Humph, you brat, why are you smiling? What's so funny!" Fang Daru blew his beard and glared, eyes wide open, looking at Erlang fiercely and scolding, his old face was red, he didn't know whether he was angry or ashamed.
.
"The student disturbed my father-in-law. My father-in-law's temperament is simple and innocent. The student couldn't help but think of the laughter of his brothers and sisters when they were young, and then he couldn't help but laugh. The student was a bystander and couldn't help but ask, "How is the old lady doing this?"
I'm also worried about my husband's health. Why did he go to that date when he knew this? Reputation and status in the world are just fleeting. I think my husband and my wife have a deep relationship. It's rare for them to be together. It's really enviable to students.
!" It's really inappropriate to worry about some trivial matter, my old wife who has been by my side for many years! Erlang didn't say this. Although he didn't know their identities, how could it be that someone who could come in and out of Zhuwanju was just a simple person?
.According to his original temperament, he would not say those words. However, he has now reached the age of getting married. Under the influence of his parents, coupled with Yue Zhen's subtle encouragement, Erlang wants to find someone who can be with him.
They are in love with each other and have been together for a lifetime. Seeing that the two of them have such a good relationship and can depend on each other even in their seventies, I envy the old lady but also really don’t want the old lady to worry about her husband’s willfulness, so I can’t help but give a few words of advice.
, but he is unwilling to say anything that offends people too much.
"Huh, what do you know? Old man, if I don't go to the appointment, my old enemy will laugh at me for being timid. If I lose, I won't dare to compete again. Old man, I have never accepted defeat in my life. Do I have to give up when I am old?
If someone makes a joke, I must find it back. For men, loyalty is paramount. If reputation and status are not important, why are you still looking for Old Man Fang? To put it bluntly, you don’t want to
Borrowing someone else's reputation, if you can successfully become a disciple, your career will skyrocket!" The old man said angrily, stroking his beard, with a look of disdain on his face, as if to say, are you any different from those hypocrites outside? You are still here pretending to persuade.
People should not be burdened by false fame, but they themselves come to worship for false fame.
Erlang was not angry, he still looked gentle and kind, with a slight smile on his face, but he said seriously as never before: "The student is indeed here to be a disciple, and he is indeed a mediocre person burdened by a false reputation.
One, because students have people in their hearts that they want to protect. Only when they become stronger can they better protect the people they want to protect."
Even though Erlang always looks like a gentle and talkative good guy, in fact he is the coldest heart. Even Li Sanzhi and his wife don't know that Erlang has been smart since he was a child and can remember things since he was very young. Liu's second miscarriage
At that time, although Erlang was only a few years old, he already remembered that he was also a pink and tender sister. Even now, he occasionally wonders, if that sister also grows up, will she be like Yuezhen?
She is so cute and lovable. No one knows that the reason why he loves Yuezhen so much is because he has another heart to dote on his sister. He will always remember the day when Feng learned that the child died at birth.
He said, "Humph, the little bitch born by a bitch might have been born to suppress me just like her parents. It doesn't matter if she dies. Liu's bitch won't die anyway. I wish that idiot Lao San would become a widower."
, so as not to waste the family's food rations,,," At that time, Mrs. Feng happened to catch a cold, and she complained about Li Sanzhi. He worked hard every day to make Ms. Liu, who had a big belly, give birth prematurely. If Ms. Feng had sought medical advice in time,
If so, the child might have been saved. If not for that incident, Mrs. Liu was furious and took her daughter, son and daughter-in-law to Li's house to cause a scene. Feng would not dare to easily mess with her pregnant daughter-in-law, then what follows?
The younger siblings may have no chance of being born.
After that, Erlang matured quickly and stopped playing wildly with the children in the village. Old Man Li wanted his descendants to honor his ancestors and preferred grandchildren who could read, so he pestered Mrs. Liu to teach him how to read, deliberately showing off in front of Old Man Li
He showed his talent for reading, and sure enough, Old Man Li ignored Feng's objection and allowed him to go to school. After that, he quietly protected his younger brothers and sisters, deliberately revealing in front of his father Feng's unfavorable treatment and neglect of them.
Step by step, he changed Feng's image in his father's heart. He knew that his father was very nervous about Feng and longed for Feng's care. He even doubted how his father would choose between his wife, children and mother, and whether he would choose Feng.
He was too young to change anything. He could only put on a gentle mask and try to please Old Man Li, the Master, and the famous people in the village. Gradually it became a habit. In fact, he was indifferent at heart.
Except for his parents, siblings, and the Liu family, no one cared about it. So, when the time came, he did not hesitate to let people reveal to Old Man Li that Da Lang's several grandsons who he valued were actually idiots. Before, Da Lang
There are only a few people who can do well in school, but he often takes the initiative to help his cousins write Confucian articles for their cousins to play. Who doesn't praise him among his classmates? He has personally seen Mrs. Chen go to the doctor.
He knew that Chen's fetus was in danger, and that Zizhen was unjustly accused, but so what? Those who bullied his family would have to pay back sooner or later. He knew that he was not a good person, and if he had to continue to resort to unreasonable means, he would be able to do so.
If he had to climb up to protect his parents, siblings, he would definitely do it.
Looking at the determined young man in front of him, who was as tall as a pine tree, Fang Daru was in a trance, as if he had seen himself a few years ago. He seemed to have said similar words, and there was someone he wanted to protect, but that person
Before he was strong enough to protect her, he protected himself with his life. At this moment, he wanted to help such a person who had the same ideals as himself, hoping that this young man would not have the same regrets as himself.
Next, an old man and a young man asked and answered questions. The scene was very harmonious. How could a smart man like Erlang not know the identity of the old man in front of him! By the time Uncle Liu came to find him, he had already become a disciple. Liu, who was always calm,
My brother-in-law couldn't help but be "shocked"! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
