Tang Dynasty good man

Seeing that the three juniors had all knelt down, Old Master Cheng took out a wine glass, tremblingly lifted the wine pot and filled it up, and lightly sprinkled it in front of Grandpa Wang Xiu's spirit tablet, to commemorate the spirit of the old comrade-in-arms.In an instant, two lines of hot tears rolled over his orange-peel-like old face and dripped down his gray beard, spreading a solemn and sad atmosphere in the ancestral hall.

Feeling Grandpa Cheng's mourning for his old comrades, even a person who is not related to me made it a little sad, Cheng Chu and Qin Yu also looked sad; especially Qin Yu, who came here to pay homage to his teacher, endured Kneeling straight with tears in his eyes.

The old man sat down and poured himself a glass of wine, "God is not fair!" Facing the memorial tablet of Lord Wang, he confided tearfully, "You have survived the battlefield for so many years. Seeing that the world is peaceful, you can leave as you please. You're gone! Let us old people miss you and talk about you, why are you embarrassed?" As he spoke, his voice choked up, "Do you still remember when you told me to take care of Wang Rui's child when you were leaving? Ruier Ah! Old man, I didn’t take good care of you. I, Old Cheng, am sorry for your Wang family. I don’t have the face to go down to see you, brother Wang.” He hugged me in his arms and burst into tears. I was so scared that I hurried Consoling the old man to mourn, considering his age, this way of crying is too dangerous, don't let anything happen.

Mr. Cheng touched my head lovingly, "Do you still remember your father?"

I shook my head and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Grandpa Cheng, for your concern. The illness has not healed yet. I probably can't remember it. It's not certain whether I can recover. I'm very ashamed."

"It's not your fault," the old man felt sad when he heard me say this, "It's all our useless old bastards, it's Lao Cheng who didn't take good care of you, you call my grandpa to make me ashamed, isn't that Heaven is jealous of talents!"

"My condolences to you, Grandpa. My whole Wang family is already very grateful for your kindness." The old man smelled too good, so he took the opportunity to leave his embrace while talking politely.

"My old Cheng swears in front of your grandpa's spirit card that from now on, the affairs of your royal family will be the affairs of my Cheng family," he said, kicking Cheng Chu with his foot, "Bastard! Did you hear what I said?"

"I heard! From now on, brother Zihao and I will share weal and woe, love each other, never leave..." Cheng Chu pointed to the sky and the earth, vowing firmly.When I heard it, I felt cold and sweated profusely.

"En! This is still the same," the old man pulled his beard in satisfaction, and recalled: "Your Wang family are all smart. I watched your father, Wang Rui, grow up. He has been gifted and talented since he was a child. , both civil and military at such a young age, if it wasn't for him... Hey! I'm afraid he's already in the prime of his life now." Speaking of Wang Xiu's father, his face showed affection, as if he was talking about his own son, "Still I remember that year, even though Emperor Taizong conquered Goryeo, I didn’t want to be at a disadvantage. I fought to the death to keep the army safe. After this battle, Emperor Taizong rewarded me with the mansion of the former “Duke of Yue” as a reward for my bravery. I."

"Emperor Taizong is wise and powerful, and he is a wise emperor through the ages. Grandpa Cheng has made great military exploits and won the three armies bravely. He is a famous general in the world. You and his ministers complement each other. This is a good story in the world, which makes my younger generations admire us." I was a little puzzled. Speaking of Father Wang Xiu, why did he suddenly turn to the matter of conquering Goryeo?But flattery has to be delivered first. After all, it is rare to have close contact with these historical celebrities, and there is still admiration.

The flattery worked, Mr. Cheng's orange-skinned old face instantly bloomed, and he patted me on the shoulder proudly, "Speaking of you guys, you are the most likable. You are smart, winky, and The stomach is not showing off yet, let's look at my house... Well! I just want to clean him up!"

The old man raised his hand and was about to draw towards Cheng Chu, but I hurriedly stopped him, "Old man, you continue to say, you have given the mansion, it's time for the mansion." The old man was a bit off topic, so he had to get back on track.

"Oh!" The old man scratched his head, "The mansion is where I live now. Before moving in, I slightly rebuilt it and dug a front cellar. There was a box in it. I reported this matter to Emperor Taizong directly. Emperor Taizong saw that I was wordy, and taught me a few words: Since the house is given to you, of course all the things dug out belong to you. They are all books and bamboo slips, Lao Cheng, I can’t read much, I’m only interested in gold, silver and treasures, so I threw the books and bamboo slips to the study room.” Sipping his wine, he turned to face Lan Ling who was at the door and cupped his hands slightly, as if he didn’t care. The princess was snubbed.Lan Ling also bowed to the old man, and continued to lean outside the door to wait for his next words. After all, it was not appropriate for her to enter the ancestral hall of the Wang family.

After whetting everyone's appetite, the old man continued: "At that time, Wang Rui's child often came to my house to borrow books, so he found bamboo slips dug from the cellar and asked me to borrow them. They were all written in earthworm characters, and no one could understand them. So I gave it to him. After a few years, he returned the slip of the book and said he understood it. The book was too precious to take. I was also curious and asked him what book it was. He said it was the Art of War left by Sun Wu. It's called "Wu Mu's Last Letter"..."

!ah?The three listeners were all stunned when they heard this, and I just wanted to stomp that kind old face into mincemeat!Don't worry, let's see what this old scumbag says.

"When I heard what Wang Rui said, I was overjoyed, and I felt relieved that the Wang family would publish another Art of War. I told him at that time, don't let the things left by your ancestors be lost. Now that you have understood it, you have to put this The treasure has been handed down, when Cheng Chu was still young, I planned to let him worship Wang Rui as a teacher in a few years, but I didn't realize it, God is jealous of talents!..." The old man's acting skills were superb, and he threw himself in front of Wang Laohou and wailed Get up, "I'm the one who killed Wang Rui's kid. Without that art of war, maybe that kid wouldn't be sick from overwork. It's all my fault, what can I do..."

Well, hurry up and hold on, too devoted, "Grandpa Cheng, life and death are up to you, I'm sorry for your old age."

"Old Cheng, I'm sorry for your Wang family..." As I said that, I wanted to hug me again, I hurriedly grabbed his arm, and suppressed a belly laugh to appease him and sit down.

This old man is also very interesting, if you want Cheng Chu to come to study, just say it straight, fooling people for a long time, I have to take revenge, the infamous kneels for a long time, and it's not like he came here to worship the ancestors in the first month.

"Grandpa Cheng, I just realized what you said. Thank you for giving the book to my father at that time." I respectfully saluted, "It's just that the serious illness the day before yesterday made my memory of the book incomplete. The earthworm you mentioned I can barely recognize a few words, can I go to your house to review the book again?"

"It's gone, it's gone! I'll beat you to death, you little bastard!" Old Master Cheng suddenly kicked at Cheng Chu, and Qin Yu and I were so scared that we hurriedly pulled away. The old man pointed at Cheng Chu tremblingly, gritted his teeth and said, " It's all this bastard! I was so stubborn since I was a child, I burned down my study room with a fire! I beat him to death..." Qin Yu hurriedly pulled again.

"Oh?" I turned around and glanced at Cheng Chu, Cheng Chu nodded, indicating that there was such a thing.The expression on Cheng Chu's face was painful and frustrated, he thought he had really burned the great book on the art of war, and he looked like he was serious about fighting.

"Grandpa Cheng, Brother Dezhao is young and innocent, please forgive him. Fortunately, my memory is still there, and there are not many incomplete ones. I will come to study with Siye in the future. I will teach him the art of war for my father, and repay Grandpa Cheng for his years of service to the Wang family. The kindness to take care of me." Looking at it like this, if I don't agree, Cheng Chu will have to suffer a few more times, this old man is not simple, he gets cheap but also loses favor, is he old and smart?

It seems that I was born to be Tai Sui, and finally came to the Tang Dynasty, and there were monsters around me. I peeked at the door, and the flower branch of the female fairy who was laughing was trembling, and it was softly attached to the door.

It finally came to an end. Cheng Chu and Qin Yu worshiped Wang Xiu's father as their teacher, and were taken back by Old Man Cheng contentedly. Qin Yu couldn't feel relieved, and followed along the way.It seems that I will receive a lot of apprenticeship gifts again. As for the gifts, I am quite looking forward to them. With the financial resources of the Cheng family... Hehe...

Lanling didn't make this trip in vain, he watched a blockbuster movie for free, until he and I came to the back of Zhuangzi to choose a site for the papermaking workshop, and still laughed sporadically, like shofars.

"Zihao, do you believe old man Cheng's words?" Lan Ling interrupted me without listening to my talk about the importance of river water to papermaking.

"I... believe it." The quality of an amnesiac patient is still required, "I'm afraid I can't refuse if grandpa Cheng directly asks me, right?"

"Do you believe it? It's no wonder you believe it! I've seen this Uncle Cheng since I was a child. He looks rude and has a lot of bad ideas. He is joking and laughing on weekdays, but when it comes to using troops to fight, he doesn't accept anyone. How can he lose his face? Seeking a yellow-haired boy to teach him the Cheng family? That's the only way to go."

"Anyway, I can't remember, let's teach together, Cheng Chu is not an outsider." I picked up a branch and probed the depth of the water, "You were the one who lured Qin Yu away yesterday, right?"

"No," Lan Ling shook his head, "It was arranged a few days ago. I was with you yesterday. If you are present, I will seduce you. If Qin Yu is present, I will seduce Qin Yu. If both of them are present, I will seduce you together." Go~~hahaha" Lanling threw a stone into the water, splashing water on my face.

"Yesterday I thought it was you, and just now I thought it might be Grandpa Cheng. I was thinking about it." The water quality is good, and the depth is just right. It would be even better to find a way to attract it to the workshop.

"Uncle Cheng isn't that bad yet. A veteran on the battlefield attaches great importance to victory and defeat. He will never do something like self-destruction of the Great Wall. You are full of ideas. Why do you keep testing the waters with sticks?"

"Just take a look. If the workshop expands in the future, this small river will still be very useful, but it's a pity that the water downstream may affect the water quality. Are you satisfied with this place?" The papermaking workshop is seriously polluted, which is somewhat harmful to the river. It's a pity in my heart.

"I don't understand, you decide whether you are satisfied or not," Lan Ling said.

"Ah? You don't know what to ask me to show you? Why don't you find some old craftsmen?"

"The craftsman is looking for it, so fast? Can't you come and see if you don't understand? Don't you miss today's good show?"
