The first sixty-five chapters close

Cold winter, plum blossoms, the first snow in five years in Yonghui, sleet.

It was a warm winter, the moss under the steps was still green, and the fine snow beads fell down with the rain, quickly blending into the earth, coming and going in a hurry.The wind is blowing, and the cold wind is wrapped in a little bit of cold stars, blowing on the face, and I can't help shivering, maybe it will cool down tonight.

In my opinion, the cold winter is more pleasant, and the heavy snow is much more refreshing than this kind of half-dead sleet, at least you can't feel the dampness of the tarsus.In this state, no matter how thick you wear it, you won't feel warm at all, and your body feels uncomfortable and wet like dew.

The end of the year is approaching, and this year the family has a lot of money. Ying went out early in the morning with the second daughter under the banner of buying new year's goods. For consumption, maybe blush and rouge can also be included in the list of new year's goods. Whose fabrics are not small today? Make a profit.

Uncomfortable standing under the eaves, I simply opened an umbrella and put on a mink fur cloak and went out for a walk alone.The road in Zhuangzi has been refurbished by the east wind of the previous large-scale construction; the big stone roller has been rolled back and forth countless times, and the arched road with porcelain solid edges is very comfortable to walk on. I like the front of the village and the back of the village when I am free every day. I walked up a few times and felt comfortable.

In winter, the farm households who came back from the slack season seemed a little lazy, staying at home and rarely going out, and the two workshops did not have off-duty time, surrounded by bare tree trunks or white walls, and even the dog did not bark, except for rain and snow. The sound of slapping 'rustling', the deserted desolation on Zhuangzi, as if I was the only one.

The sound of reading, the sudden recitation broke the silence, and I went looking for the sound. The low courtyard wall could not block my sight. Under the porch in the courtyard, the students dressed up may be young people who are preparing for the upcoming provincial exam. preparation.The scholar is just dressing up, I think his body shape and appearance are more suitable for short clothes.Just holding a weapon in your hand is a standard professional thieves.Especially envious of that guy's big beard, so it's hard to judge his age.

It's a pity to study with a good face.If he is a bandit, I might be able to make friends with him, and the scholar will be spared.Although the scholars of this era are not so rigid, they will not get the goodwill of my old man after all, especially when talking to them, it is very difficult for me to have a son.If I dare to learn to talk to Lao Tzu in a polite manner, I will slap him to death, and I will not even give him a chance to correct.

The academic circles in Chang'an have classified me as an alternative scribe, a cultural person who never mixes with the literati circle.There are military generals, dandies, and rural reckless people I associate with, but none of them are serious scholars, although Li Chunfeng runs towards me from time to time.But he must not be classified as a pedant. He is obviously an atheist who wears the cloak of a religious person, and a speculator with a title of guru. After a long time in the field, he finds that everyone is like-minded.Cherish each other.

The person studying found that I was standing outside the wall observing him, and waved to me kindly to say hello, and I also politely raised the umbrella in my hand to answer and smiled.Turn around and leave.I thought to myself: This person is also half-hearted. I can find out without saying a word outside the station. Based on this, next year's grades must be very bad.

Speaking of the exam, I couldn't help but think of Xie Baolai. Qin Yu came to see me this morning and mentioned Xie Baolai's matter by the way.Respecting teachers and teaching is still beneficial, and Qin Yu is a good example.Although his status is much higher than mine, he still has to selectively obey the opinions of my mentoring brother.I haven't seen Qin Yu for a year, and Qin Yu is still the same. He hasn't turned into the weather-beaten appearance he imagined. trace.

No wonder women like people like Qin Yu.Calm and powerful.In terms of self-cultivation alone, I will never catch up with him in my life.I don't know what he looked like when he killed someone.If he is still so elegant... His back feels a little chilled at the thought, it would be better for the victim to touch a savage face, at least he would be happy.

After this big purge, Qin Yu has matured, transformed from a hot-blooded youth into a hero who understands current affairs. If he wants to achieve his ideals, he must first ensure that he can stand upright. In my opinion, this is the real both civil and military.The fabled dude who is a double champion in civil and military affairs is not capable. He makes people become gunmen when he goes out. How many successful places are there?

Want to stand tall, easier said than done?Is Changsun Wuji standing tall enough?Isn't this about to fall?On this issue, I had an in-depth exchange with Qin Yu.I think Qin Yu's current team has a bright future and a bright future.Behind him is the treacherous and cunning Du Feng; the people standing behind Du Feng are vague, male and female, but no matter what gender they are, they are all real powerful figures, so Qin Yu's career can only be regarded as just at the beginning, and even if he reaches the goal in the future Both Cheng and Su's heights are possible.In this regard, you have to learn from Mr. Cheng, who takes credit for being proud but can handle it well, jumps out from time to time to show off but never overdo it, let others remember your role at all times but will not feel like you are a big bully to you. That's the long-term solution.

Changsun Wuji made this mistake, and his achievements overwhelmed the master.There are passive masters and active masters.It stands to reason that Cheng and Su are also of high merit, and they are both qualified to jump out and beat the Lord, but they would rather pretend to be stupid and fight in groups instead of booing with the guys in the court. They belong to the "passive faction". Let the emperor dote on them, and there will be no sense of oppression when they are with them.As for troubles in the countryside, love of money and grabbing merit, other people seem to be shortcomings, but in the eyes of the new head of state, this is the best advantage, don't worry, there is no threat.

As for grandsons like the eldest grandson who are running around in the court and have a good reputation among the people and "take the initiative to win the Lord", they have two intentions, they have plans for nothing, they are deliberately trying to win people's hearts, and they are obvious. If you want to fight with the leader, you have to get rid of it quickly.

At the end of the day, Qin Yu and I made a conceptual summary, which can also be regarded as the teacher’s advice to the students: don’t make big mistakes, keep making small mistakes, don’t be too rigid in your life, and when necessary, you should intentionally reveal some small problems and small handles Let others see it in their eyes and grasp it in their hands, and they will feel at ease when they deal with you, and you don't have to be afraid that others will pick your thorns again.Being greedy for money and lustful is a good thing, especially for Qin Yu.There is no need to be greedy for money, his family is rich enough; but with a heroic appearance and a refined connotation, it would be a pity if you don't go after flowers and ask questions .

Qin Yu had a deep understanding of the importance of family after being away for more than a year. From what he said, he felt sorry for his wife, and felt that it was necessary to make up for his indifference to his wife when he came back this time.The matter of vertical and horizontal Fengyue field has to be considered again.

At this point, I feel a little inferior. People who lack both civil and military skills can just be greedy for money, and don’t have to do things beyond their abilities.In the future, people will talk about me and Qin Yu, the senior brother is greedy for money, and the senior brother is romantic, is it a good story?I feel that I am teaching people to be bad, and I am entrusting the students with things that I am not capable of doing.If Mrs. Qin Yu knew...the dilemma of life and death.

It seems that I am also mature, at least I can think of these, and nodded with satisfaction. Although I don't participate in politics, I seem to have the potential in this regard.good.Lan Ling spoke highly of me, and she thought that if I stepped into an official career, I would definitely be the kind of old traitor who has been scolded through the ages.I reserve my opinion on this evaluation.I consider myself a kind person, at least in the past, I never let go of the opportunity to give up my seat to pregnant women and the elderly on the bus.

In two more months, Mr. Cheng will go to war. He can't help but think of Cheng Chu jumping up and down. In order to go out with his grandfather, he was beaten back and forth.It can be seen that the old man has played hard.If it hadn't been for Mr. Cheng's deliberate suppression, with his tyrannical martial arts, Cheng Chu would have gained a firm foothold in the army. Just because of the appreciation of Cheng Chu from all the big men in the army, he could at least reach Qin Yu's rank. up.

As soon as the things in the mind are opened up, the person has no guidance, and walks in the courtyard and bumps into a tree.fine.Luckily there was a tree blocking it.Or fall into the ditch.Already beyond the boundaries of the Wang family, the river meanders to a desolate place.Walk along the river and go forward to Yun's house. This is a rocky beach, and no one usually comes here.After making a detour, I found that there were a few people on the small river beach where the water was slow and the water was slow. They used a big dipping net to catch fish and shrimp. Fish and shrimp don’t like to move in winter. If you want to catch them, several people must cooperate. One person took a long stick to catch them. , the other few can fish land efficiently, so I simply squatted on the other side to watch the fun.

"Xie Bao! Come here!" Suddenly, it was Xie Bao who was catching fish and shrimp. He was grinning happily and didn't even notice that someone was coming from the other side.The exam is coming soon, and this guy is still playing by the river. Although he can understand the desire of the outsiders for the river, there is no need to make fun of his own future.The Yun family's chickens eat fish and shrimp to supplement calcium and have nothing to do with you.In the morning, Qin Yu and Qin Yu wanted to go to see Xie Bao. Qin Yu felt that it was time to study hard before the exam and was afraid of disturbing him.That's great, let's play it.

Seeing that it was me, Xie Bao hurriedly dropped his stick and ran downstream for a long distance before finding a single-plank bridge across the river and coming around, calling out "Brother Wang, Brother Wang" from afar.

"Do you still want to take the exam?" I changed my face and shouted, "Are there any students like you?"

"Hey," Xie Baoli scratched his hair aggrievedly, "The farmer's family is all in charge of the New Year, and my younger brother lost his mind about studying when he was in a mess, so he followed them to fish for shrimps, hey."

"What does your busy schedule have to do with your studies?" I am also a person who has taken the college entrance examination. The two months before the exam are the most stressful time. Not to mention going out to play, I am afraid of squatting for a long time when I go to the toilet. "You moved back to live with me today..." At this point, I couldn't help laughing, and it was a bit too much to pose as an elder, "Forget it, you can figure it out yourself, don't let Qin Yu down With all my heart for you."

"Brother Wang's lesson is that my younger brother has been educated." Xie Bao saluted respectfully, with a slightly excited expression, "My younger brother's parents were separated early in life, and there was no discipline at home. That's why I developed this temperament. To be able to get Brother Wang to be so disciplined Hu, thank you..."

"What are you grateful for?" I patted Xie Bao on the shoulder, feeling a little bit connected with fate, "I was entrusted by others, and for loyalty, I should be grateful to find Qin Yu. Man, don't come up with so many boring thoughts , the future is serious." Pointing to a few handymen of the Yun family on the other side, "You can live like that for the rest of your life, as long as you don't feel wronged by your talents."

"Yeah, if I can live like that for the rest of my life..." Xie Bao shook his head helplessly, "My little brother sometimes thinks that it's a good thing to be able to live like this for the rest of his life. Talent and learning are not important, and my little brother didn't even think about getting any fame... ..."

"Even if you want revenge, you have to be qualified," I know what he wants to say, a person who lives for hatred.Suddenly appreciate the fun of the pastoral, inevitably a little bit at a loss.Xie Bao's temper is not suitable for revenge, he has not been blinded by hatred, he is just straightforward. "Don't be wordy, go back and hurry up and do your homework. No family and no job is a good time to work hard." He waved his hand and urged Xie Bao to go back.

It seems that I have really changed, and I can say such a clear sense of class.The aristocratic life made me feel superior, and it was terrible to be able to point to the working people as a negative example.The environment changes people. If it wasn't for luck to get such an identity, maybe I am now one of the people who are fishing for fish and shrimps. Watching a few people on the other side happily surfing the Internet, I am also very happy. Why should I Arranging people?

Rain and snow tend to increase.Being delicate and expensive, I couldn't stand it, so I hurried back, and met the purchasing team of the two wives at the door of the house, and it seemed that I had gained a lot.

"Isn't it fun to spend money?" Ying and the second daughter-in-law filled the kang with trophies, as if they had copied someone else's grocery store.I took off my shoes and wanted to lie on the kang for a while.Afterwards, he dismissed the idea. It was very uncomfortable to be pierced into the flesh by the embroidery needle, and the danger was everywhere.

"It didn't cost much, it's a shop of an acquaintance." Ying took a Firefox fur scarf and gestured at me, then put a leather hat on my head, and the second daughter took off my shoes and turned towards me. I was tossed back and forth with the felt stuffed inside to warm my feet. "I passed by 'Fuchang Building' today, went up and looked around, husband guess what you found?"

"What?" It's impossible to guess, 'Fuchang Building' is a well-known high-end dry goods store in the capital, and it's not surprising to find anything. "What are you doing? What's so strange?"

"That's not true," Ying Mi smiled, "Bian Dan, our family's Bian Egg is on the shelves, and the price tag is unreasonable, thirty cents a piece."

"Thirty cents? Let's rob." What is the concept of thirty cents? It is enough for an ordinary family to buy an egg for a month? "Has anyone bought it? I guess it's just a show."

"I don't know if it looks like it. But I saw a dozen people buying it one by one. Turn your head and it will be gone." Ying clapped her hands happily, and pushed the baubles piled on the kang into a clear space.Pulled me to sit down, "There is a shortage of eggs in winter, and now the fourth child has received a price of [-] cents and [-] yuan, and the price of eggs in the capital has been greatly raised."

"Didn't the fourth child contract all the production from the Yun family and Lanling Zhuangzi?"

"Not enough, I can't take care of it at all." Ying picked up a ox horn hairpin and stuck it on the second daughter's head, patted the second daughter's small face, and said with a smile: "The chickens in the Yun family wilt as soon as winter comes, so don't tell me when they lay eggs." , about ten of them died. At this rate, it is estimated that there will be only a few left in the beginning of spring."

"Winter is not easy, let's ask someone to build a kang for her family. After all, they and we are considered a cooperative relationship." Chickens are most afraid of humidity and cold, and they are prone to illness. If they have not been able to resist eating maggots, then they are not. About ten people died.After winter came, Ying sent people to set up a Datong kang in the house where the chickens were raised, so there was no delay in raising chickens and maggots.The Yun family doesn't have this technology, and the cost of burning charcoal is too high to keep warm effectively. If the maggots don't reproduce, they can only buy it from the fourth child.

"Leave it to the fourth child, we won't help." Ying picked out a peach red rouge and wiped it on the face of the second daughter, and the second daughter sat obediently opposite her without moving. But the Yun family has to exchange eggs, and our family will earn more when we come and go."

"Spiritual thoughts," Miss Yun's falling under the clutches of the fourth child is even more dangerous than Shouying's calculations.Ying still blindly pursues real estate, while the fourth child has nothing to gain and does everything else.It's lucky that Yun girl can keep the Nianguan and not run naked. The ability to do business with the emperor without losing money is not for nothing.Compassionately said: "This Yun family is also pitiful. It fell into the hands of your sister. The real estate is moldy for you. You finally raised two chickens and let the fourth child catch the palm of your hand. Why is life so hard that there is no hope."

"That's not it," Ying smiled happily, and the blush on the second daughter's face was also smeared. "The ancestors of the Yun family didn't accumulate virtue, and they owed our family too much, so they should repay it now."

"You just hold your hands slowly, so that people can take a breath."

"What's more, when people come to ask for debts at the end of the year, it is my concubine's help to send them away." Ying took out the Yun family's debt contract from her arms and looked at it happily, moved the jewelry box and carefully placed it at the bottom, "Not now Strangling her neck is just to make her think about it, hoping that she will raise two more chickens to lay eggs. The little girl now has some small money in her hand, otherwise she would not dare to let the concubine take the debt, hehe, look at the old man four means."

"The fourth child is not with you. She makes money and has no interest in real estate." The fourth child is a ghost, and she will never collude with Ying to make a fuss. Not the way to do business.

"The gifts that should be prepared last year are almost complete. Tomorrow, they should be given out one by one. This time it should be more expensive than last year, right?" Ying pulled the gift list to browse, took the abacus and started to scroll through the clutter.

"You can figure it out, don't be too conspicuous. Also, prepare an extra copy according to the Cui family's specifications, and I will give it to someone who is not famous." Li Shi was very surprised. For those who have friendship, if you really can't do it, you can transfer it to Tuolanling. There are many friends and multiple paths. Besides, they seem to be of high status, so they can often deal with each other in the future.
