Yun Zheng looked at Lan Lan and said, "What does it mean that a woman can still live like this? People are living so prosperously now. What do you know about hiding in the boudoir, playing the piano and flute all day long, and fooling around?
Living life, looking forward to finding a good family to marry in the future, I don't know the hardships of farming and the dangers of the human heart. How long can I last with the protection of my elders? Only when people are self-reliant and strong can they have self-esteem.
I wanted to say these words when you went to Meishan back then, but when I saw you were heartbroken, I refrained from saying anything. What a good opportunity for you to work in Dousha County at that time. Your father-in-law passed away, and the people of Dousha County
No matter how ruthless you are, you will still care about your father's legacy. If you had gritted your teeth and insisted on starting things in Dosha County, how many things could have been done?
You can buy land to raise silkworms, reel silk, sell beef jerky, trade with mountain people, and even trade with foreign races. When you don't understand anything, no one in Dousha County dares to bully you, etc.
After your father's legacy gradually disappears, your business will get on the right track. At that time, you will gradually understand what business is. At this time, it should be the time for you to show your talents, but you are hiding among the monks in Baiyun Mountain.
In the temple, I blamed myself and made myself miserable, and I missed a great opportunity.
The death of your father is naturally very sad. It is not filial piety for you to recite sutras every day. I dare say that if you don't recite sutras, you will work for your future. Every more penny you earn, your father's spirit in heaven will be more happy and peaceful. In this way
The joy you feel is definitely not comparable to that of reciting the scriptures just once or twice.”
Su Jingxian was dumbfounded. When an ancestor passed away, instead of keeping filial piety, he took advantage of the opportunity to do business with others. This was treason. Officials had to observe filial piety when their ancestors died. How could Yun Zheng do this!
The expression on Lanlan's face changed again and again, and she said sadly: "You sent those two hundred dollars, are you just reminding me?"
Yun Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "Why do you think I didn't send it to you earlier or later, but why I sent it to you when you were the saddest? I want you to understand that you still have capital. Seeing how you looked like you were about to die at that time,
I had no choice but to shut up and stop talking."
Su Jingxian suddenly stood up, pointed at Yun Zheng and said, "How can you be so unreasonable?"
"In order to be a general, you must first control your mind. If the mountains are covered in front but the color remains unchanged, and the elk is rising on the left but the eyes are not blinking, then you can wait for the enemy. All soldiers are righteous, and unrighteousness will not move them. Only righteousness can do it.
An angry man can fight hundreds of battles with his righteous anger. The way to fight is to nourish his wealth before fighting, to nourish his strength in battle, to nourish his energy in battle, and to nourish his heart in victory.
This is your father's grand statement. Su Jingxian, as the son of my husband, you don't understand the meaning of his words. Our life is actually fighting, fighting with the sky, fighting with the earth, fighting with people, fighting with ourselves, living a lifetime.
It is a life of fighting. Life is endless and fighting is endless. Everyone is his own general. How can you be victorious if you don't judge the situation? It's ridiculous, Su Jingxian, you are a son of man in vain!"
Su Jingxian's "The Way of Nature" is an article written by his father. This passage is the opening sentence of "The Art of Mind". Although part of it comes from "Mirror of the Sixth Army", the following text was indeed drafted by his father. I was stunned on the spot for a moment and realized
I actually had nothing to say.
Seeing that Yun Zheng seemed to be angry, Lan Lan stood up and saluted: "It's Lan Lan who is too stupid to understand Brother Shi's painstaking efforts. Jing Xian is a kind person, unlike Brother Shi who is brave and diligent and fights all the way through obstacles.
Please don’t criticize me harshly, brother."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Shi in the yard said loudly: "No, my father values filial piety the most. How could it be as extreme as what you said? The article "The Art of Mind" is also simply about the essentials of military strategy. You can't be so casual.
Therefore, using my father's words to refute my eldest brother is not fair at all. Baishan filial piety comes first. If you use my father's words to explain your actions, my eldest brother has failed without saying anything, because you brought him into
He is in a ditch, he is no longer arguing with you, but with my dad.
You did it on purpose. I found out that you like to lead people into ditches. I found out when you pointed at the toilet and said it was Du Fu's Thatched Cottage. So, your words may seem reasonable, but they are all sophistry.
, can’t be considered upright!”
Yun Zheng looked up to the sky and laughed, stretched out his thumb and said: "Su Shi is really different. Since we are neighbors, you should slowly wait to be trained by me. This is your first lesson. Let's slowly learn from each other."
Come, let's see if your upright master can be defeated by my ghostly skills. I'm not bullying you because you are young. Since you have a reputation for being smart, you have to accept the challenge!"
Su Shi appeared at the door, patted his chest and said loudly: "Just come over here!"
Yun Zheng glanced at Su Shi with disdain and said, "You'd better figure out what's going on with the pool first, and then brag about it after defeating Yun Er. I've seen a lot of talented people, and the Yun family has two of them!"
Su Shi turned around and asked Yun Er, who was silent, "What is bragging?"
Yun Er explained seriously: "My eldest brother means that you are telling lies."
Su Shi excitedly said to Yun Er: "I never speak big words."
Yun Er curled his lips and said: "This sentence is, okay, I will go to your father to learn poetry and calligraphy, and you will go to my elder brother to learn arithmetic. That's it. You are not my elder brother's opponent now, and you are even better than my elder brother."
I'm still a little bit behind..."
Su Shi was furious, and he and Yun Er left the front hall, tearing each other apart, and went to argue somewhere.
Su Jingxian cupped his hands and said: "Jingxian disagrees with what my brother said. Since ancient times, men and women have been different. Men are in charge of the outside world and women are in charge of the home. This has been stipulated by etiquette and law for a long time. It is not a good thing to touch this threshold easily.
"
Lan Lan opened her mouth to speak, but then closed her mouth. She came with Jing Xian. She couldn't embarrass Jing Xian at this time. Yun Zheng shook his head and banged his fan on the table and said, "I don't know who made this ban."
?At least I haven’t found such a stipulation in the laws of the Song Dynasty. The male is in charge of the outside and the female is in charge. This must be a man who can control the outside. There are so many men and women in the world. If this man cannot be a woman.
Sheltering from wind and rain, shouldn’t this woman be allowed to decide her own destiny? There is also a theory of reconciliation in the law.
On the way to Chengdu, I ate rice noodles made by one family. It was very delicious. The stall was run by a family of three. The children solicited customers, the women greeted them, and the men cooked the rice noodles. I didn’t see who was in charge of the three members of the family.
Outside the Lord, they are all busy with their own families and are a very hard-working family. I think this is a normal position of men and women, not as rigid as you said."
Su Jingxian was sweating from what Yun Zheng said. Yun Zheng sighed. This thirteen-year-old boy is much worse than his younger brother. To put it bluntly, he just doesn't know how to adapt. He probably won't be able to learn anything.
What a big development. He may have learned from Su Xun's uprightness, but he did not accept his father's cunning side. With such a temperament, he actually had a crush on a woman like Lanlan. It was destined to be a misunderstanding.
Seeing that Su Jingxian had nothing to say, Yun Zheng changed the topic and asked Su Jingxian to concentrate on asking Su Xun about several recent articles he had written. Sure enough, when he mentioned this, Su Jingxian became lively and explained to Yun Zheng eloquently "
"Book of Quan" and "Lun on Heng". He was able to recite these two articles, but when it came to their meaning, they seemed very stiff. This was the result of rote memorization.
When the sun went down, Lu Qingqing still didn't come back. An old servant of the Lu family came over and said that the young lady was begging the master of the Zheng family, hoping to send Yun Er to the Zheng family's private school. Yun Zheng probably had little hope, as the Zheng family was a wealthy family.
, will only teach their own nephews, and will never spread the secret method of educating their nephews. No matter how close the relationship between the Lu family and the Zheng family is, the Zheng family will never open this door.
Bacon prepared a sumptuous dinner for Lanlan. She was very happy to see Lanlan. She kept putting braised pork on Lanlan's plate and persuaded her to eat more. Lanlan ate slowly, listening to Bacon.
With a strong Xichuan accent, tears rolled down her cheeks, but she didn't stop eating. She finally listened to Yun Zheng's words, and now she must put aside her sorrow and work hard for her future.
Su Shi and Yun Er ate like tigers, whining and whining in their mouths. The one-inch square piece of pork belly went into their little mouths and disappeared in an instant. The little mouths twisted quickly. In a moment, a plate of braised pork was ready.
There was no trace.
Bacon forcibly kicked Yun Er and Su Shi off the big table. Eating too much fat meat would cause stomach upset. Yun Er had always been lonely, but now that Su Shi was with him, he was in a very good mood.
Su Shi drank hawthorn water without a sip and drooled as he looked at the braised pork that was served again on the table. He just liked eating meat, no matter what kind of meat it was. Now that he couldn't enjoy the delicious food in front of him, he was really heartbroken.
Yun Er poked Su Shi and put a large piece of braised pork wrapped in lotus leaves into his hand. Su Shi smiled happily.
The atmosphere during the meal was very good, and Yun Zheng no longer said those sharp words, but kept urging Su Jing to eat more first, and poured some grape wine for Lan Lan to encourage her courage.
When they went home after dinner, Su Jingxian remembered that the Yun family was very unreasonable in eating. Both the maids and the servants crowded into a big table to eat. A charming lady like Lan Lan and the big maid named Bacon returned the favor.
It's simply against the rules for sisters to match each other.
As soon as he expressed his opinion, Su Shi overcame him and said, "There's nothing wrong with that. This is how we eat. This is how our family should eat in the future. I want to eat on the same plate with my mother..."
Lan Lan followed the two Su brothers and looked back at the Yun family under the setting sun. She couldn't help but puff up her chest. Yun Zheng was right. You should really walk your own path. (To be continued)
