How does it feel to have money in your pocket!
That is a full sense of security, a feeling of not panicking at all.
Although it is difficult to live in Bianjing, I can save the money and use it until the end of the year.
Zhang Yue returned to the inn with a heavy amount of money, and was about to take Huang Haoyi and Tang Jiu to have some fun!
Zhang Yue had not gone far to Baokangmen Street when he saw a group of people blocking him.
Zhang Yue subconsciously covered the money in his pocket and looked at the other person, and couldn't help but said: "I don't care!"
Zhang Yue was surprised. The other party was none other than Zhang Yu and the old man in charge of his second aunt's family. At first, he suspected that he was admitted to the county school because of Zhang Dun's reputation.
Zhang Yue occasionally dreamed of such people in his dreams, and he hated them so much.
However, seeing the large number of people on the other side, Zhang Yue smiled with a smile on his face and said politely: "Isn't this the boss's responsibility? I'm glad to meet you, I'm glad to meet you."
Zhang Yue smiled and said: "I'm busy with things. I'll go visit you in two days. I hope I'll let you know."
Zhang Yue was about to leave, but he saw several tall servants blocking his way.
“What does this mean?”
The old man said with a smile: "Sanlang came to Bianjing, but he didn't even see his uncle, aunt and brother. If word spread, he will have a reputation of being disrespectful and disloyal. For us officials, reputation is more important than life.
, Now I happened to meet Mr. Sanlang, so I will take you to the house. Please forgive me for being disrespectful, Mr. Sanlang."
After saying this, several strong men did not allow Zhang to go any further and forcibly escorted him into a carriage.
After Zhang Yue got on the carriage, two big men held him hostage on the left and right, while the old governor sat opposite him and stared at him.
Zhang Yue smiled reluctantly and said, "This carriage is quite spacious."
The old governor laughed and said, "Mr. Sanlang is really a smart man. I thought I would have to waste more words."
Zhang Yue smiled and said: "Whatever, I have walked across more bridges than I have walked. I just want to obey your orders."
The carriage immediately started moving.
Outside the car curtain was the bustling market in Bianjing. There were big men on both sides of Zhang Yue. He couldn't look back, so he could only look at the old face of the old man. Although he wanted to step on his face, Zhang Yue still squeezed out.
A little smile.
The old man said with a smile: "Sanlang Jun is a wise gentleman. He reminds me of my youth. There are some words that Sanlang Jun may not want to hear, but I still want to say them."
“Sir, please speak!”
The old man said: "The villain grew up in Pucheng. My family was poor since I was a child. If I didn't sell myself as a slave, I would starve to death for my younger brother. Therefore, when I was six years old, I was taken in by my master and survived. From then on, I knew someone.
The truth is, if you can't survive in one place, if you don't die, others will die. Instead of doing this, it's better to change the place and move the dead and live."
"When we arrive at Master Lang's house, even the servants have food to eat and clothes to wear. Finally, we don't have to worry about what to eat tomorrow or whether they will starve to death. But there are more than just servants in the yard. The villain treats those who are similar to me.
The eldest servant boy is very kind, and he also wants to repay Master Lang for his life-saving grace."
"But those people don't appreciate it. If you please the master, others will beat you up and make you a little stumbling block. If you don't please me, then there will be no room for you in the yard. It didn't take long for me to learn how to deal with the high and the low."
, if you are generally kind to everyone, even dogs will not be able to tolerate you. Whether you are kind or not depends on the person."
Hearing this, the smile on Zhang Yue's face disappeared, and instead he said: "Old Du Guan, keep talking."
The other party smiled and said: "Later, the villain was appreciated by Master Lang and became the governor of the mansion. There are many people in the mansion who like the villain, and those who don't like the villain are not good. But the villain is doing things in the mansion.
, never look at whether you like someone or not. Because the person you like will fall out with you one day, and the person you don’t like will be closer to you than your biological brother one day. There are two words inseparable from this: profit or loss. No matter the profit or loss,
Is there anyone who is consistent?"
When Zhang Yue heard this, he struggled a little in his heart.
But I saw the old man smiled and said: "Yes. But the old slave has lived for most of his life and has never seen a person who is almost buried."
The more Zhang listened to Lao Duguan's words, he suddenly felt a little refreshed and couldn't help but said: "Lao Duguan's knowledge is higher than that of many ministers in the court!"
Laodu Guan Fuxu smiled and said: "Mr. Sanlang laughed at me. These words were rotten in my stomach, but who told me and Mr. Sanlang to hit it off at first sight?"
"Don't be too clear about life. How can a person walk in the world without being wronged? Fighting is satisfying for a while, but it will be regretted after a long time. In today's world, if one day earlier in life, people would understand what it means to be humble and humble, and be polite, righteous, and honest.
If you leave it aside, the road will go smoothly."
"I just regret that too many people put benevolence, justice and morality on their lips. By the time they take the wrong path, they have already wasted half their life and it is already too late to look back. It is a pity that these people could not listen to the truth when they were young and had to be coaxed.
Okay, why should I tell the truth to such a arrogant person? Mr. Sanlang is a smart man, and I just told you a few words from my heart."
After listening to this, Zhang Yue said: "Lao Duguan's words are really good advice. I have learned a lesson from you."
Zhang Yue thought to himself, if you carefully consider what the other party said, you can really get a lot out of it.
By this time, the carriage had stopped at a certain place. Zhang Yue could not help but feel relieved when he saw a plaque with the word "Zhang Mansion" hanging outside the door.
The old governor looked at Zhang Yue's face and finally said: "Now that we have reached the end of the land, I would like to give you one last word to Mr. Sanlang. Don't think too kindly about people. The more kindly you think, the more you will be disappointed. On the contrary, you will treat everyone with kindness."
As a villain, the day will be fine."
Zhang Yuefu glanced at the old governor and said with a smile: "A foolish woman from Kuaiji buys a minister lightly, how can I be a Penggao person?"
"What?"
Zhang Yue smiled and said, "I don't care what you said is right."
After saying this, Yue jumped down from the carriage and shook his sleeves.
Yes, what Lao Duguan said makes sense, but it only makes sense to most people, not to him.
The reason why some people are like this all their lives is that they only work hard to understand the world but do not understand themselves.
Who am I, Zhang Yue Zhang Saburo?
There is something wrong with you!
At this moment, the panic in Zhang Yue's heart disappeared. He put his hands behind his back and walked in with his head held high... He didn't pay attention for a moment and tripped.
Zhangfu’s threshold is very high, you are careless!
At Ouyang Mansion.
Ouyang Fa left Ouyang Xiu's study and returned to the house.
Wu rushed up to him as soon as he saw it and said, "Why did you talk to dad for so long?"
Ouyang Fa said: "We had a good conversation, but Mr. Anding came to visit my father at home."
“Why are you still coming to the government at such a late hour?”
Ouyang Fa nodded and said sadly: "Yes, sir, he has always been in poor health. He has long wanted to become an official. He was just afraid that if he left early, he would be disgraced by Mr. Fan's entrustment and that his father valued him highly. Therefore, he supported his illness and stayed at the Imperial College.
.”
"In addition to using his official salary and money to buy medicine and some minor expenses, he also used it to supplement the Imperial Academy. There is no one from a poor family in the Imperial Academy who has not benefited from his favor. Now that he is gone, where can he find such a good teacher?
"
Wu said: "You have been taught by him for many years. When he left, you did your best to ensure that this time as a teacher and student would not be in vain."
Ouyang Fa was moved and said: "You are really my good wife, I also mean the same."
Mrs. Wu said shyly: "You and I are still talking about these things. That's right. What does daddy want to say to you?"
Ouyang Fa said: "I didn't talk about anything. I just want me to study hard and not...not to imitate the officials' children outside, who expect favors to be promoted to officials and refuse to study and make progress."
Mrs. Wu said: "You hesitated for a moment just now. Did dad use the example of my Wu family to warn you?"
Ouyang's hair color changed and he said, "My lady is so powerful, I really can't hide anything from you."
Mrs. Wu sighed and said: "There is nothing you can do about it. Do you think I don't know how people criticize me outside? They say that the boys of my Wu family are not as good as the girls. But they know that several of my Wu family's sisters married into the prime minister's house."
, how are your days now?"
Ouyang Fa said: "Madam, this matter of marriage, after all, we are from the same family. I'm not saying that you are high-ranking, but the Wu family's family status today is still lower than that of Han, Lu, Pang, etc."
Mrs. Wu looked at Ouyang Fa and said, "What do you mean, I just married you and I'm a good match?"
Ouyang Fa laughed dryly twice and changed the subject: "Yes, did you know that when your husband came to see your father at home, besides talking about becoming an official, he also mentioned one person?"
"who?"
“It’s Zhang Saburo!”
“It’s him again?” Wu was surprised, “Is it a good thing or a bad thing?”
Ouyang smiled and said: "Sir, I showed my father the articles he wrote when he was taking the imperial examination. Do you think it's a good thing or a bad thing?"
"Even Mr. Anding thinks so highly of him? How many days has he been in the capital?" Wu couldn't help but feel a little lost.
Xun Wu asked again: "What do you think of him?"
Ouyang Fa thought for a while and said: "We just met him once, but he is the elder brother of Zhang Ziping, the number one scholar in Jin Dynasty. There is another thing I just found out. This person's elder brother abandoned the imperial edict and refused to be awarded an official.
Zhang Zihou!"
“Ah? Is it that Zhang Zihou who did not do as well as his clan nephew and gave up his official position?”
Ouyang laughed and said: "Yes, madam, how can this person be rich or average? How bad will their clan be? Otherwise, Mr. Boyi and Mr. Biao Min will not recommend him to daddy."
“But dad has been too busy recently, so I was not going to see him. But after I talked to Mr. Anding, I have already posted a message asking him to come over.”
“Daddy is going to meet him in person soon?”
Wu walked around in deep thought, then said: "If Zhang Zihou is such an incompetent person, how can his younger brother be any better? Yes, do you know if he is married at home?"
Ouyang Fa was stunned for a moment and said: "There are so many, how could I know? Madam, why are you asking for such details?"
"I..." Wu thought for a while and said, "I can't explain it to you right now, that's all."
Wu can’t help but have a lot of thoughts at the moment. If his guess is true, then...
Ouyang Fa saw Mrs. Wu frowning and thinking under the lamp. It was like looking at a beauty under the lamp. The more she looked at her, the more beautiful she looked. He couldn't help but said: "Madam, the night is deep, let's go to bed."
After saying that, Ouyang Fa blew out the candle...
In the dark, I heard Wu saying without any mood: "Don't sleep with me today! Go to the study and sleep!"
