"Things in the world have been difficult to obtain and easy to maintain since ancient times. It is said that those who start well cannot end well. Why? Because when you are making progress, you must be sincere in dealing with superiors and subordinates. When you succeed, you will indulge in arrogance... The junior is not saying that Bai Gong indulges in arrogance.
, but to say that the Bai family has a great cause, and the Ministry of Industry is in charge of such a large project, and if Mr. Bai is the only one who is condescending, cautious and virtuous, what's the use?"
"Mr. Bai made many mistakes, but the biggest problems were his extravagance and lack of frugality, wasteful planning, and excessive use of people and materials..."
"The second problem is that the laws are not strict, which leads to the incessant leakage of special property. Just because of this, countless gangs have spawned in Dongdu, and then the public security in Dongdu has been corrupted..."
"In addition, poor planning and not caring about the people's strength and lives are also a big problem. Why do we have to wait until more than ten days after the soldiers arrived in large numbers to start distributing tents and winter clothes during the winter campaign? If it was a mistake and I didn't think about it, then
Naturally, the officials in charge of the Ministry of Industry are so stupid that they cannot bear it. And if you think about it, but think that the servants are despicable, it is okay to freeze for ten days, that is, some officials are unvirtuous and benevolent, and Duke Bai is negligent in discipline...
"
"But all in all, the construction of Mingtang should not be started easily. The younger generation is ignorant and always feels that the princes in the temple are all smart and sensible, knowing the destiny of God, but I don't know why, but they always treat the common people as nothing.
, as if big and small things can only be solved by a single hardship...As everyone knows, the court is like a boat, and the people are like water, and everything has a limit. If the limit is low, the water can carry the boat, and if the limit is high, the water can also capsize the boat!"
"I was summoned by Mr. Bai in a hurry, and my words were inappropriate. I hope Mr. Bai can forgive me, but I hope Mr. Bai can understand the sincerity of this junior and think twice before acting."
Zhang Xing talked nonsense and finally bowed his head.
At this time, the atmosphere in the ancestral hall had already become too dry.
After a pause, Bai Hengqiu finally spoke, but he glanced at his daughter behind him first, and then asked the young man in front of him: "Zhang Sanlang, do you think it's hard for me to fall out with my daughter here?"
Zhang Xing thought seriously for a moment, then nodded heavily: "If it weren't for the patrol to protect me, I'd probably have died seven or eight times. But if she wasn't here, I really wouldn't dare to say anything."
Bai Hengqiu laughed in response: "So, you also know that all your words are useless nonsense?"
Zhang Xing is still serious; "I don't expect Mr. Bai to listen to it at all, but these are my sincere words, junior!"
"Do you really think so?" Bai Hengqiu frowned slightly.
"Yes." Zhang Xing answered calmly. "I mean every word."
"But you know it's useless to say it?"
"yes."
"In this case, I said that you are arrogant and cynical, but it is not false at all." Bai Hengqiu held the chessboard with one hand and shook his head repeatedly.
"Bai Gong knows people as well as he can see fire."
"Then let me ask you again, if one day you were in my position." Bai Hengqiu pointed to the futon under him and asked seriously. "Then you know that you won't be moved by me."
Will your true words be put into practice by a kid like you?"
"Yes." Zhang Xing did not hesitate at all.
Bai Hengqiu was silent again, and for a while, even Qian Tang and Bai Yousi became a little nervous.
After an unknown amount of time, the current prime minister and minister of the Ministry of Industry slowly spoke again: "I also believe you can, and I know a lot about your deeds. Young people who dare to risk their lives will be affected by life and death."
I'm used to it, and I have some ideas. Once I can do it, why not do it? In fact, I have never seen people like you. But if this is the case, it would be hard for me to be your recommender.
Even my daughter needs to be kept away from you so that she doesn’t get involved by you..."
Qian Tang raised his head in surprise, and Bai Yousi, who was like a wooden sculpture, finally looked at his old man's head expressionlessly again, but his almost numb eyes finally fell on Zhang Xing.
Zhang Xing also seemed a little stunned, but he quickly adjusted himself, leaned over and said sincerely: "I didn't expect what Mr. Bai said... For one thing, I thought Mr. Bai still had the responsibility of Nanya Xianggong after all.
Even if it is difficult to do it due to some current circumstances, he will encourage me; secondly, I think that as a father, Bai Gong should always understand some truths. A person like the inspector has already been a role model in the world.
She has a sense of responsibility and determination, and since she has protected me several times, she has already made a decision, how could she stop because of Mr. Bai's words?"
Bai Hengqiu was stunned. Was he scolding him for not being worthy of being a prime minister or a father?
Qian Tang and Bai Yousi were also in a daze... But soon, Bai Yousi became furious: "Zhang Xing! Who gave you the courage to talk to my father like this? If there is some righteousness to rely on, it can be regarded as
What does it mean to be honest and admonishing at this time? I usually say that you are uneducated. Is it a lie? Get out of here quickly!"
Zhang Xing walked away as fast as a rabbit.
Bai Hengqiu looked back at his daughter in confusion, while Qian Tangman, who followed Zhang Xing in a daze and left with only one thought in his mind, did not even use the word 'get out' during the inspection!
It's quite interesting to say that after Zhang Xing did such a thing, he was still allowed to eat with Qian Tang, but the Bai family and his daughter did not show up again.
Zhang Xing even ate two interesting items at the Marquis of Ji'an's mansion. One was stewed camel soup, which is stewed camel hump; the other was fresh mandarin oranges.
It’s not surprising to be able to eat these. Even if it’s mandarin oranges in winter, considering the existence and application of Ice Qi and Lihuo Qi, you don’t even need Qi. You can just go to the entire icehouse or hot spring palace and adjust the humidity.
and lighting are enough.
So, it can only be said to be fresh.
Of course, Zhang Xingqing knew that he had scolded the old man, and he didn't know whether the old man was cruel or cruel. He was smiling with his daughter in front of her, and secretly arranged for five hundred private soldiers to ambush him in the street. Therefore, after eating the camel soup, he was pregnant.
After hiding two satsuma mandarin oranges in the bag, Zhang Xing simply wiped his lips and ran away without even saying hello or paying attention to Qian Tang. He didn't even lead the official horse.
At this time, it was getting late outside, and it was approaching the end of late autumn. There was no light between the sky and the earth. Coupled with the cold wind, it only forced people to want to go home.
Zhang Xing entered and exited Defang, passed through Lushunfang, Daoguangfang, and Lidefang where Jing'an Terrace is located, and headed home. Along the way, the more Zhang Sanlang thought about this matter, the more ridiculous and futile it became.
Si Si is undoubtedly an excellent woman, even too excellent, and Zhang Xing himself has indeed been favored by others many times, and some of his words are indeed true.
However, the times are here, how can noble ladies and the core of the next generation of the family be so simple to each other? If you are thinking of making trouble here, it is better to honestly improve your cultivation.
Difficulties and twists and turns are probably still to come!
Just as he was thinking about it, he finally crossed Lide Square and came to Chengfu Square. Zhang Xing jumped up without even thinking about it, and easily climbed up the wall of the square. He wanted to jump down again, but was stunned... There was no other way.
At this time, Zhang Baishou could see clearly from the height of the square wall that the west side of Chengfu Square was still brightly lit, and there were laborers working the night shift everywhere, working hard there to load and unload in preparation for the construction of a bright hall after the destiny.
After watching this for half a day, Zhang Xing touched the mandarin orange in his arms and jumped down.
