Delong

Chapter 67

"Everything in the world has been easy to take and difficult to keep since ancient times. The so-called good start can't end well. Why? Because when you make progress, you must wholeheartedly confront the superior and inferior, and after you succeed, you will indulge in arrogance...Didn't the younger generation say that Bai Gong indulged in arrogance , but to say that the Bai family has a big business, and the Ministry of Industry is in charge of such a large project, and only Bai Gong is condescending, cautious and virtuous, so what's the use of it?"

"Duke Bai made many mistakes, but the biggest problem is extravagance, extravagant planning, excessive use of people and things..."

"The second problem is that the laws and regulations are not strict, which leads to the outflow of special goods. Just because of this, the Dongdu gang has spawned countless, and then the law and order in the Dongdu has been corrupted..."

"Besides, poor planning and not stinging people's resources and lives is also a big problem. Why do we have to wait more than ten days after the soldiers arrive in large numbers to start distributing tents and winter clothes? If the mistake is not thought of, then Naturally, the officials in charge of the Ministry of Industry are extremely dull, and if you think about it, but feel that the servants are contemptible, and it’s okay to be frozen for ten days, then some officials have no virtue and benevolence, and Bai Gong is negligent in discipline... "

"But all in all, Mingtang shouldn't be started lightly. The younger generation is ignorant and always thinks that the princes above the temple are all smart and intelligent, and they know the fate of God, but they don't know why, but they always treat the common people as worthless. , It seems that big and small things can be solved by suffering a little bit... as everyone knows, the court is like a boat, and the people are like water, and there is a limit to everything, under the limit, the water can carry the boat, and under the limit, the water can also capsize the boat!"

"The junior was summoned by Duke Bai in a hurry, and his words were excessive. I hope that Duke Bai will forgive me, but I hope that Duke Bai can understand the sincerity of this junior, and think twice before acting."

Zhang Xing talked nonsense, and finally bowed his head in worship.

At this time, in the ancestral hall, the atmosphere has long been too dry.

After a pause, Bai Hengqiu finally spoke, but he glanced at his own daughter behind him first, and then asked the young man in front of him: "Zhang Sanlang, do you think it's difficult for me to turn my back on my daughter here?"

Zhang Xing thought about it seriously, and then nodded heavily: "If it wasn't for the patrol inspection, I'd probably have died seven or eight times. If it wasn't for her being here, this junior really wouldn't dare to say anything."

Bai Hengqiu laughed and replied: "So, you also know that your words are all big and useless nonsense?"

Zhang Xing was still serious; "I don't expect Mr. Bai to listen to half of it, but it is my sincere words, junior!"

"You really see it that way?" Bai Hengqiu frowned slightly.

"Yes." Zhang Xing answered calmly. "Every sentence is sincere."

"But you know it's useless to say it?"

"Yes."

"In this way, the old man's saying that you are arrogant and cynical is not false at all." Bai Hengqiu held the chessboard with one hand and shook his head repeatedly.

"Bai Gong knows the wisdom of people, and he can see the fire clearly."

"Then let me ask you one more question, if one day, you will be in my position." After speaking, Bai Hengqiu pointed to the futon under him, and asked seriously. "Then will your sincere words that you know you won't be moved by me be put into practice by you kid?"

"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 period of time, the prime minister and minister of the Ministry of Industry spoke again slowly: "I also believe that you will. I am used to it, and I have some ideas. Once I can do it, why not do it? In fact, I have never seen a person like you. But if this is the case, I will not be your recommender again. Even my daughter, let her stay away from you, so as not to be troubled by you..."

Qian Tang looked up in surprise, and Bai Yousi, who was like a wood carving, finally looked at his old man's head expressionlessly again, but his almost numb eyes finally fell on Zhang Xing.

And Zhang Xing seemed to be a little stunned, but he quickly adjusted himself, leaned over and said sincerely: "I didn't expect Baigong's words... For one thing, I thought Baigong still had the responsibility of Nan Yamen after all, Even if it is difficult to do it because of some bad times, I will encourage me; secondly, I think Bai Gong should understand some truths as a father. She has a lot of responsibility and assertiveness, since she has protected me several times, she has already made a strategic decision, how can she stop because of Baigong's words?"

Bai Hengqiu was stunned, was he scolding him for not being worthy of being a prime minister, nor being worthy of being a father?

Qian Tang and Bai Yousi were also a little dazed...but soon, Bai Yousi became furious: "Zhang Xing! Who gave you the courage to talk to my father like this? If there is still some righteousness to rely on before, it is considered What is it to remonstrate with Yan Yan at this time? Is it a lie to say that you are uneducated? Get out quickly!"

Zhang Xing walked away as fast as a rabbit.

Bai Hengqiu looked back at his daughter in a daze, while Qian Tangman, who followed Zhang Xing away in a daze, had only one thought in his mind - the inspector didn't even use the word 'scroll'!

It's quite interesting to say that after doing such a thing, Zhang Xing was still allowed to stay with Qian Tang, but Bai's father and daughter didn't show up again.

Even, Zhang Xing ate two very interesting items at Ji'anhou's mansion - one was stewed camel soup, that is, stewed hump; the other was fresh mandarin oranges.

It’s not surprising to be able to eat these, even if it’s tangerines in winter, considering the existence and application of cold ice true energy and Lihuo true energy, you don’t even need true energy, honestly, the whole big ice bank or hot spring palace, and then adjust the humidity And light is enough.

Therefore, it can only be said to be fresh.

Of course, Zhang Xing knew that he had scolded the old man, and he didn't know if the old man would be cruel. After hiding two tangerines in the bag, Zhang Xing simply wiped his mouth, didn't even say hello, and didn't care about Qian Tang, and fled out laughing, not even leading the official horse.

At this time, it was getting late outside, approaching the end of late autumn, there was no light in the sky and the earth, coupled with the cold wind, only forced people to want to go home early.

And Zhang Xing turned out from Jindefang, passed Lushunfang, Daoguangfang, and Lidefang where Jing'an Terrace was located, and headed home.Along the way, the more Zhang Sanlang thought about this, the more ridiculous he felt—Bai Yousi was undoubtedly an excellent woman, even too good, and Zhang Xing himself had indeed received favors from others many times, and some words were true. It's true feelings.

However, the times are here, how can it be so simple to get along with the noble daughter of the Hou family, the core of the next generation of the family?If you have such a mind to do things here, it's better to honestly put forward your practice.

Difficulties and twists and turns, I am afraid they are yet to come!
Just as he was thinking about it, he finally crossed Lidefang and came to Chengfufang. Without thinking about it, Zhang Xing jumped up and climbed up the wall with ease. At this time, Zhang Baishou could see clearly that the west side of Chengfufang was still brightly lit by the height of the wall of the workshop, and there were laborers on the night shift all over the place, who were working hard to load and unload the building in preparation for building a bright hall after dawn.

After watching it like this for a long time, Zhang Xing finally jumped down while touching the tangerine in his bosom.
