In an instant, Jia Lian understood Ahe and himself.
They are the same kind of people.
People who do great things.
They all have things they want to do, do, and should do.
Therefore, they are unwilling, unwilling, and unwilling to be trapped by love.
His arrival in the world of Red Mansions was a coincidence, the merits of his ancestors, and a fateful encounter. He believed that he could change his own destiny, change the spirit of the Jia family, and even change the direction of the entire world of Red Mansions. p>
In his previous life, he was a poor boy, so he was destined to live a mediocre, ignorant, and careless life. He spent all his energy on salary, saving money, buying a house and marrying a wife. He had to be humble, endure, and live like a human being.
Mask of the Walking Dead.
But in this life, he must live a vigorous life and use his talents and courage as he pleases. Whether he is a good person or a bad person, at least he must live like a living person, able to grasp the reins of life and ride on it.
A living person will not regret even if he dies.
Therefore, he is too lazy to worry about the smallest gains and losses, and he doesn't bother to worry about small things. If he wants to love, he will love it, and if he doesn't love it, he will let it go.
Entanglement, entanglement, will only lead to disputes and entanglements in the end, which will turn life into a mess. That is not a decent life.
Jia Lian must be a decent person.
So is Ahe.
Decentness is dignity, evidence that a person lives like a human being.
.
The corners of Jia Lian's eyes suddenly became moist, and he looked deeply at Ahe:
"Ahe, I understand what you mean.
If two hearts are still in the same place, no matter how high the mountains or the rivers are, they can't stop each other from meeting each other.
If two people seem to be the same in appearance but different in spirit, they will still be in the same bed but have different dreams even if they live together day and night.
With my current status and situation, I am destined to be unable to spend my whole life with you and me alone. You and I each have our own dreams and worlds.
We are not two fishes who care about each other, we are two dragons who forget each other in the rivers and lakes."
"Are you going to forget my daughter?!
You bastard and a heartless boy!
Cough cough cough——"
Xin Laoxiao was so angry that he wanted to stand up suddenly, but his body tilted and he immediately coughed and wheezed into a ball. Fortunately, Jia Lian had quick hands and eyes and caught him.
Ah He hurriedly patted her father’s back, and then hurriedly rubbed his chest:
"Dad, if you don't understand, don't worry!
He said that the ‘forget’ in ‘forgetting each other in the world’ means that we are both comfortable, not that we have forgotten myself.”
Jia Lian looked at Ah He:
"After all, you still understand me."
Seeing that Xin Laoxiao gradually calmed down, Ahe also nodded to Jia Lian:
"You and I can't be husband and wife in this life, but it's not a grievance to be close friends."
Xin Laoxiao gasped:
"You understand him, and he understands you, so why am I, an old guy, still involved in this mess?
You are just a daughter. Since he already has a wife, you should get married as well."
Before Ah He opened his mouth, Jia Lian already knew Ah He's answer.
Sure enough, Ahe solemnly said to Xin Laoxiao:
"Dad, he married first and then recognized me. This is fate. I have nothing to say.
But if I recognize him first, have my whole heart for him, and then marry someone else, how can I be worthy of the person I married?
Dad, that’s not decent, your daughter is not decent, and our Xin family is not decent either.
Although I, Xin Shuanghe, am a girl, there are not many men who can match my understanding of loyalty.
I will never do anything to disgrace others, and I will never do anything to disappoint myself.
Since I have fallen in love with him, I won’t be wronged to marry someone I don’t like, nor will I be wronged to marry someone who is a bastard.”
Xin Laoxiao shook his head helplessly:
"My daughter, are you too transparent or too confused?!"
.
At this moment, Jia Lian knew that in the rest of his life, no other woman would be worthy of Ah He's red-blooded color.
Because that is the color of Ah He.
.
When the private affairs ended, Jia Lian asked Xin Lao Xiao about his personal salt affairs, and Xin Lao Xiao sighed:
"The old saying goes: There are three major hardships in life - punting, blacksmithing, and grinding tofu. But they don't know that the hardships of salt workers are much more painful than this.
The three major worries of salt workers are: peeling salt, carrying salt, and pulling big pots.
The weather is dark all year round, the wind and sun are blowing, and you have to wade barefoot in the brine to pick up the salt in the salt-alkali beach. In the summer, mosquitoes bite you, and the sun is on your head. In the winter, the north wind cracks the skin and flesh, and the bones and joints are painful.
Yes, all year round, a pair of feet are either cracked or rotten.
The one who boils salt is called "salt fool", the one who carries salt is called "salt donkey", and the one who pulls the hay is worse than a donkey.
A thousand kilograms of stone can only be pulled by three or five strong laborers with all their strength. It is crushed over and over again in the salt pond like a donkey pulling a mill. There are many salt workers who are so tired that they vomit blood. p>
The salt workers work so hard just to keep the whole family from starving to death.
However, those wealthy salt merchants, because of their collusion with the officials, squeezed the salt workers to death while selling salt at extremely high prices.
The common people can't afford salt, and salt workers can't support their families. So there are private salt dealers like us, and we make money by selling our lives.
With private salt, salt workers have money to support their families, and ordinary people can eat cheap salt. What's wrong with that?"
Xin Shuanghe also said:
"I won't talk about the distant ones. I'll just talk about the 'six hardships and three disadvantages' of the salt households in Lianghuai.
The hardships of transporting people to and from transport, the hardships of crossing bridges, the hardships of crossing places, the hardships of opening rivers, the hardships of Guanjin, and the hardships of ports are all the hardships imposed by the imperial court.
There are also three disadvantages, the disadvantages of adding thallium, the disadvantages of sitting on a jin, and the disadvantages of changing a jin to a jin. They are all caused by the collusion between officials and businessmen.
They have so much money that they can't even spend it on food and clothing, but they force poor men to take desperate risks just to feed their whole family."
Jia Lian felt a fire burning in his heart:
"People are just trying to support their families. This country should not exploit people, let alone collusion between government and businessmen!
I must change these bad policies!"
Xin Laoxiao was shocked when he heard this:
"Boy, what you are saying is too big.
In this world, is there any businessman who is not greedy for money? Is there any housekeeper who does not want to enrich his own pocket?"
Jia Lian shook his head:
"If the emperor doesn't want to take care of these corrupt officials and wealthy people, he is a coward.
If the emperor cannot control these corrupt officials and wealthy people, then there is something wrong with the emperor system.
I don’t believe it anymore. There will never be a day when the people in this world are prosperous and the country is prosperous.”
Xin Laoxiao didn't know how to answer these words, but Ahe nodded seriously:
"You can only do these things in the capital, guarding the court.
But there are still some things that I can only do if I stay in the world.
Second Master, if there is anything you can do for you in the future, please let me know. I, Xin Shuanghe, will do my best and will not give up even if I die."
"Hey! If you are willing to die, don't you mean that our Salt Gang will not give up even if you die? My daughter keeps her promise, but I have nothing to say!" Xin Laoxiao finally came to his senses.
This guy is gentle and gentle, but he turns out to be rebellious.
