Chapter 633 Pity the hearts of the world's parents
Just outside the door, Xiangyang Bo Zhang Qiong's face turned blue and white.
Although he didn't hear his son complain just now, he thought that the pretentious moan was actually just applying medicine, but now he knows that the big man complained about nothing else, but the indifference of the servants in the house! Just as Zhang Shou said
, A son is a son, and servants are servants. What’s more, what Zhang Wuji is complaining about must not be the capable managers, but the people who serve him!
And Zhang Shou also said that he wanted to make amends to him... How could he have the nerve to ask Zhang Shou to make amends to him? Even if it was the son's fault for not teaching his father, or the teacher's laziness for not being strict in teaching, it is still the father's responsibility first, and then the teacher's.
Responsibility, Zhang Shouzong didn't teach his son to play the Dengwen drum, right? After all, his son was fostered by him to have a resentment. If this is not resolved, it may cause misfortune to the family in the future!
Song Ju and Deng Xiaodai who were behind saw Xiangyang Bo Zhang Qiong standing at the door and shaking their heads frequently.
Xiaodai wanted to remind him, but Song Juren beat him to it and asked loudly: "Uncle Xiangyang, is this your son's residence?"
You're talking nonsense. You want to remind my son and Zhang Shou inside, wouldn't you say something smarter?
Xiangyang Bo Zhang Qiong glared at Song Juren. If it weren't for this guy's bad luck and his reputation, and he was about to become the son-in-law of the King of Jiangdu, he wouldn't bother to deal with such a juren who was not doing his job properly. But at this moment, he
Seeing Song Juren scratching his head and giving him a stupid smile, he felt that he was a bit similar to his big son.
They both only know how to move forward bravely, and both of them only know how to rush forward. The difference is that the lucky guy in front of him actually succeeded, while his stupid son who only knows how to be reckless still can't find a way out. In fact, when we really talk about it, wasn't he the same when he was young?
Such a person? Therefore, his title is not as good as that of his eldest brother or his third brother, and his literary and military talents are even more difficult to match. His only advantage is...
He has many sons, five in total. The eldest is quite outstanding, but the youngest is still crawling all over the floor!
But now Zhang Qiong heard what Zhang Shou said to his incompetent son, and he felt that he really didn't know how to teach his son. He took a deep breath, did not look at Song Juren and Deng Xiaodai, and just pushed away
After entering the door, he saw the big man on the bed leaning up in panic, as if he was about to struggle out of bed, but was pushed back by Zhang Shou, and he snorted with a tigerish face.
"Why are you trying so hard! Just lie down until your injury is healed!"
Growing up, Zhang Datou was beaten countless times, and his father never visited him, and no one even came to give him medicine for wounds. That is to say, his aunt was fair, and at least he would not be short of food, clothing, and pain medicine.
Otherwise, he doesn't know how he survived the past seventeen years. It's just that his aunt passed away and the person in charge of housework became a favorite aunt, so his life would be difficult.
At this moment, he realized that although Zhang Qiong's attitude was still cold, the underlying message was that he knew that he had not recovered from his injury, so he hesitated for a moment and continued to lie on the bed.
"I'm making you laugh, Bachelor Zhang. This is how a big family has a big business. Where I don't care, there are villains who will follow the trend." Zhang Qiong simply showed a very clear attitude. Seeing that Zhang Shou was still smiling, but instead
The son lying on the bed turned his head to look at him in astonishment. The movement was so big that his neck seemed to be about to be broken.
He immediately scolded him angrily: "Just like what your teacher just said, I am your father. If you have anything you can bring up in front of me openly, it doesn't matter if you knock out your teeth and swallow it in your stomach when you are wronged. Aren't you very good outside?"
Are you being arrogant? As long as you show some domineering momentum, will anyone dare to take advantage of you?"
Zhang Datou suddenly felt a little angry. Outside, it was his appearance that made others respect him, but what could he do at home? Not to mention his father, who could hold him down with just one finger. Even among brothers, he
He couldn't show it. He usually had a way to fight with those servants, but when he couldn't get out of bed, what could he do with them when his life was at stake?
When Zhang Shou saw the person lying on the bed without saying a word, he angrily picked up the book he brought as a gift and tapped the big man Zhang lightly on the head: "You wooden fish head, if you carry trivial books every day
If you complain to your father, he will be annoyed or angry by you, but if your son occasionally complains to him, do you think he will believe you or a few servants?"
"If you told him, would he turn a deaf ear and not investigate? The most important thing is that you are no longer a young and unworthy scion who has achieved nothing, but you are also the chief of the food. Do you think your father is blind? This
The first time I hit you, it was just like Zhang Chen’s father hit him. He was worried that his son who was on the right path would ruin his future. It was not so much a hatred of iron that could not be transformed into steel, but rather a feeling of fear!"
Zhang Qiong felt that Zhang Shou had said all the things that his father, who was accustomed to being strict, could not say. But before he could choose one of the two attitudes: anger or silence, he heard again
Zhang Shou's voice.
"I once reprimanded the Duke of Qin in front of the emperor for raising children without educating them and being irresponsible. But under the filial piety, how many sons are so trembling when meeting their fathers that they are so frightened that they cannot even speak a complete sentence to a distinguished guest?"
"And how many fathers act like strict fathers all day long, have a cold attitude, and cherish words like gold, as if they abide by the model of a gentleman embracing grandchildren but not children, but in fact they don't know how to get along with their children?"
"People's hearts are made of flesh. You should pay more attention to your father, be more considerate, put yourself in his shoes more, go to his presence to express your gratitude and filial piety, and don't always be intimidated by his cold face.
Then you won’t be discouraged alone in this cold room. It’s better to say it than to do it, but at least it’s better to say it than not to say it!”
Zhang Datou was told by Zhang Shou that he couldn't help but look at Zhang Qiong. When he found out that his father, who had always been criticized for his impatience, was very embarrassed, he even gave him a fierce look when he caught him peeking.
He snorted from his nose and looked directly at the beam above his head, but did not stand up or walk away. He suddenly realized a fact.
What Zhang Shou said turned out to be true. Even if his father was not as kind to his son as Zhang Shou said, at least he really felt that his son was more important than those servants and others!
Although he looked fierce, he was actually not stupid. After finally realizing it, he reacted very quickly. He stood up in almost a blink of an eye, and then knelt on the bed and kowtowed heavily.
"Dad, my son has not been good at literature or martial arts since he was a child, so he was always ineffective at breaking things. Later, although he was lucky to make progress due to the teacher's guidance, due to his childhood impression, he feared his father as much as he feared the tiger, so he never
I don’t dare to have a heart-to-heart talk with dad! This time I went to beat the drum, and it was indeed too reckless. I was wrong..."
But when he said this, he lowered his head and said honestly: "When I took the risk, I thought that the law would not punish the public, and I thought that there were those academic officials from the Imperial College who had made big mistakes standing in the way.
We people go out of our way to make a fuss, claiming that we are complaining about our former teachers. Maybe someone will take pity on us and have a sincere heart to say a few words for us..."
"When I was beaten, I thought I was right to think so, but now I know I was wrong! It wasn't everyone who came to make trouble with me, just more than half of them, and there were many people who were afraid of getting into trouble and ran away. But just look at the few people in the court.
From Tian’s reaction, I knew they wouldn’t help us at all. I was so self-righteous that I almost caused trouble for my family!”
"My fault is that I have never dared to say a word to you, dad. My fault is that I have never dared to ask you for advice on these big things. My fault is that I am almost an adult, but I am still so complacent about running around with children...
What's even more wrong is that even my servants took the opportunity to add ingredients to my wound medicine, but I didn't dare to say it because I was afraid that my father wouldn't believe me."
Zhang Qiong was naturally very satisfied when he heard that his son had sincerely started to reflect and analyzed it in a profound way. However, he had always been used to being stiff-faced, and now he was so stiff that he could not relax. But when he heard the last sentence, he kept saying
He tried hard to maintain the mask of a strict father and finally exploded.
"What, someone added medicine to your wound medicine? Which bastard is so bold?"
After the roar, when Zhang Big Man murmured a name, Zhang Qiong didn't ask for any evidence at all, and without hesitation left the room full of people and rushed out. A moment later, he heard his furious voice outside.
When Zhang Shou saw Song Juren who had followed others in, he was looking at the door, as if he wanted to follow him to watch the fun, so he laughed and said: "Don't make the family scandal public, don't be curious, Uncle Xiangyang will be back soon."
Zhang Datou saw Zhang Shou's calm look. He hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but asked: "Teacher, aren't you afraid that I will lie to my father by making random nonsense?"
"If you said such a bunch of tear-jerking truths just to trick your father into disposing of a mere servant, then that's all you'll be able to do in the future."
Zhang Shou smiled and said calmly: "Besides, if you really lied to your father, would you tell me clearly now? Zhang Wuji, Lu Sanlang and Ji Jiu used to pretend to be confused, and Zhang Chen was the guilty one.
You are very reckless on the outside, but you are different. You have a gut that leads to the bottom, and even if you use scheming, it is very superficial."
Although this was equivalent to being called clumsy by Zhang Shou, the big man smiled bitterly and finally collapsed directly on the bed. He didn't even notice when Ah Liu came forward to pull up the quilt that had just slipped off for him.
"The teacher is right. I am indeed not that smart, and I don't think too much at all. The thoughts I just mentioned were just a shout-out. When everyone rushed up to follow me to Qipan Street, I made a temporary stop on the way.
What I think of is actually just a reason to keep myself firm and not waver. That’s all I have, even if I make trouble, I have to think of reasons to comfort myself.”
"Most people are like this." This time, it was none other than Deng Xiaodai who couldn't help but comfort Zhang Datou, "Because I feel uneasy after being impulsive, but I have to do it, so I have to find someone.
Reasons to reassure oneself. In fact, I am like this too. Not just me, even Wang Zongxian once confessed to people in casual conversations that he sometimes behaves like this."
Zhang Datou had met Song Juren, although he only listened to people pointing fingers at this wonderful juren from a distance. As for Deng Xiaodai, he only met from a distance this person who was said to be from the same hometown as Zhang Shou and who had studied with him for many years.
A clerk from Shuntian Prefecture took a photo of him.
At this time, he couldn't help being surprised when he heard people talking about Wang Jie, and he immediately started asking questions curiously. This did not involve any secrets, and Wang Jie said it in public when he took him to meet many subordinate officials.
Therefore, Deng Xiaodai naturally had no scruples and told everything Wang Datou said about his reliance on his strengths in public.
Zhang Shou didn't feel strange when he heard this, because Wang Jie, who was strict with himself and therefore strict with others, wouldn't it be normal to analyze himself in everything? He let Deng Xiaodai take over for him to educate Zhang Shou.
The big man was very curious about how long it would take for Zhang Qiong to come back. As a result, Zhang Qiong came back much earlier than he expected.
Because before Deng Xiaodai could finish telling Wang Datou's anecdotes, Zhang Qiong, who looked gloomy, left and returned.
As soon as the person entered the room, he said angrily: "That slave who betrayed his master took a few whips and admitted that he had indeed added something to your medicine on purpose, but he immediately said that it was because you had an affair with the adopted son of a eunuch in charge of rituals a few days ago.
There was a conflict in the tea house, so he was bribed to let you lie down for three months. I was too lazy to ask any more questions, so I shut my mouth and ordered him to be beaten forty times, and then I drove him out and left him to fend for himself!
Such a reason is simply unbelievable to Zhang Datou. He is a very arrogant person outside, but he always pays attention to social circles. At least he will not go to elegant places where dignitaries often hang out, or high-level people.
The Feng Yue ** who is haunted by Guijie's children is causing troubles to the sky, and they are just hiding in a place where their status can suppress them.
He had been acting less frequently recently, and he vaguely remembered this conflict, but he didn't think it would provoke anyone to drug him! He then looked at Zhang Shou, and Zhang Shou didn't say anything, just patted him on the shoulder.
, comforted him to take good care of his injuries, and then nodded slightly to Zhang Qiong, and the two of them just went out. Faced with such a situation, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that something was probably wrong.
Half an hour later, Zhang Shou led his people to leave the Xiangyang Count's Mansion, and then visited the Weinan Count's Mansion. This time he lingered for a short time, and then left and went out to the Duke of Qin's Mansion. Although it was supposed to be the time for dismissal, but since then
When the doorman learned that Duke Zhang Chuan of the State of Qin was still in Shuntian Mansion and had not returned, he directly asked to see Zhang Chen.
However, the concierge politely took him to the flower hall to serve tea, and then went inside to inform him. However, within a short time, he came out with a face full of fear, bowed and said: "Xueshi Zhang, my young master came back from attending a sutra banquet this morning.
He feels uncomfortable, and is currently covering his head in bed and sweating. He said that he would go to see Master Zhang in person one day, but today he doesn’t want you to see his sick and embarrassing look."
Seeing that Zhang Chen still slapped his face and pretended that he was sick, Zhang Shou couldn't help laughing or crying. Although if he had a tough attitude, he would definitely be able to see people easily, but why bother? At that moment, he stood up calmly.
, and then asked Ah Liu to hand over the small box in his hand.
"Since he is sick, this will come in handy. You can take it in and give it to him. By the way, tell him to take good care of him."
Zhang Chen was relieved when he heard Zhang Shou's words from the boy who brought him in, "Take good care of it." He just pretended that he had gotten away with it. However, when he opened the box and saw the porcelain bottle inside, he opened one of the clips and saw
When he was applying the words for internal and external use, he took a closer look at the porcelain bottle, smelled the smell, and couldn't help but get angry: "That stinky boy Zheng Jing is really unreliable, he is such a big mouth!"
