The Rise of the Cold Gate in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 17 The awesomeness you boasted must come true
The outside world is bright in spring, the sun is just right, the breeze is warm, warblers are singing, the mangroves and green hills are slanting, and the grass in the long suburbs is green and endless. Standing on the corridor on the third floor, you can have a panoramic view of a thousand hectares of green. It's a good time to enjoy the scenery and go outing.

But Xiao Qinzhi was not in such a good mood, he just felt aggrieved, his innocent face was only cold, without a trace of warmth, walking on the corridor, he couldn't help but stop, looked up at the sky, The spring is a bit dazzling, maybe it is not approachable.

However, the more it was like this, the more Xiao Qinzhi raised his head and glared fiercely before giving up. Young people should be like this. They must have the ambition to "dare to change the sun and the moon into a new sky". Thinking about today's It's nothing more than that, just wait.

At the corner of the second floor, Mancang, Mangu, his father and son, Zhou Lie and others were waiting anxiously. When they heard the sound of going downstairs, they rushed to meet them. Seeing that it was Xiao Qinzhi and Xiao's mother, Mancang hurriedly asked:
"Ma'am, Xiao Lang, who wants to grab the land?"

Mother Xiao paused, thinking it was Xiao Qinzhi who informed her, she didn't explain too much, she just said:
"Let's go back and talk."

A group of black and white people surrounded the lower part of the east building. They were all thick and thick farmers from the west building. They were barefoot in short coats and shorts. They had just climbed up from the ground with mud on their feet. All of them carry long sticks and short sticks.

Xiao's mother treats people very well and is approachable. Whether it is a shady household, a tenant or an unnaturalized refugee, whenever the family encounters a major problem, Xiao's mother will usually help.Sometimes in bad times, poor harvests in the fields, or weddings and funerals, or serious illnesses, Xiao's mother would take the initiative to reduce the rent. Such a head household is very scarce in ten miles and eight villages.

Although the farmers are not well-educated, I don’t know if it’s a word if the shoulder pole is upside down, but they are simple and honest, and they know how to repay their kindness. People came spontaneously.

February is the prime time for spring plowing, and one year's harvest is counted on. Afraid of delaying everyone's time, Xiao's mother said a few words, dismissed everyone, and only asked Mancang to stay and hand over the matter of the ten hectares of land.

Mangu is honest and honest. His father, Mancang, is exactly the same. He has dealt with the land all his life, and he doesn't talk much on weekdays. When he thinks of the ten hectares of land, he can't stop feeling uncomfortable, and lamented:

"25 hectares of land, a total of [-] hectares of paddy fields. Except for the top five hectares of paddy fields on the east side of Fengqi Lake, it is the turn of the top ten hectares of paddy fields. The ten hectares gathered in the East Building can't compare. Last year The situation is not good, the field has lost a lot of harvest, and this year there has been another disaster."

Mancang took care of the field affairs for Xiao's mother, and has been working hard for more than ten years. Needless to say, the friendship, Xiao's mother interrupted Mancang's rambling, and sighed:
"The Cheng family is powerful and the Xiao family is weak. If they have the heart, if they are coveted, it doesn't matter if they don't want to, or if they fight, it will be theirs sooner or later. At that time, the clan will be affected. For a short time, I just want to be safe."

Thinking of Xiao's situation, Xiao's mother sighed again: "This matter has existed since ancient times, and it is not new. It prospers today and perishes tomorrow. Not to mention the big families in the world, even the change of dynasties is also common."

Ordinary words contain great truths, Xiao Qinzhi listened carefully and followed the instructions carefully, Xiao's mother glanced sideways at her son, she was very relieved, thinking about it carefully, today's son's performance is beyond expectations, the legacy of the past is gone, Lost in the east, harvested in mulberry elm, these ten hectares of land are not worth it.

Xiao's mother held her son's hand tightly, her eyes were soft, and she continued to speak slowly: "My son, I just saw you express your ambitions in "Zhuangzi-Xiaoyaoyou". Horses can't chase you; horses can't catch up with a word. I hope you can keep it in your heart all the time, and your words must be fulfilled so that you can live up to your youthful nature. Even if I go to see your father, I can explain it to you."

Feeling the warmth from his mother's hands, Xiao Qinzhi's heart warmed up, some thoughts flashed, and he said solemnly: "What happened today will be unforgettable in this life, and I have kept my mother's words in mind, and I will wait for two years, and I will definitely not call my mother." disappointment."

Mother Xiao smiled and said, "It's so good, it's so good."

Man Gu, who was walking behind, listened and smiled foolishly.

Zhou Lie clenched his fist secretly.

When a person is stimulated, he will become very excited in a short time and will show various emotions.Each emotion represents a level and corresponds to opposite emotional states, such as hate and love, sadness and happiness, joy and pain, decadence and effort, etc.

In a certain psychological activity, the higher the intensity of emotion, the greater the "psychological slope" presented, and the easier it is to transform into the opposite emotional state.For example, if a person is in a highly excited state at this time, under certain conditions, he tends to become sad more easily. There is a professional term in psychology called "psychological pendulum effect."

Xiao Qinzhi was like this. When he first came here, he thought about eating and waiting to die. After a series of things, his temperament gradually changed. He picked up the book, and after being stimulated by today's events, the accumulated emotions burst out instantly. At this moment I secretly made an oath in my heart, but I will not return the final product.

A person needs face, a tree needs skin, and what is boasted must be realized. In front of so many people, Xiao Qinzhi uttered bold words, and naturally he must do his best to realize it, otherwise, what is the face?
What's more, today's incident also sounded the alarm for Xiao Qinzhi. The Xiao's mansion will not be far away. If there is today's "Cheng family", it is impossible to guarantee that there will be no tomorrow's "Cheng family".

Born in sorrow, die in happiness.

The sense of crisis in Xiao Qinzhi's heart instantly increased, and he understood that according to Xiao's current situation, it is unrealistic to want to eat and wait to die. Don't say that countless "Cheng" will not allow it. Looking around, it is this Society doesn't allow it either.

Social rules have always been like this, the weak prey on the strong, and the weak are destined to be eaten by the strong.

"The king and the horse share the world."

At the beginning of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Wang family of Langya was known as the most wealthy family in the world, sitting on an equal footing with the Sima family. It relied on Wang Dun outside, holding military power, and guarding Jiangzhou. Pingjiang left.

"Thousands of thousands of blows are still strong, Ren Er is wind from east, west, south and north."

Only one's own strength is the root of all strength.

After the Beginning of Spring, the daytime lengthened gradually, and it was around the end of Shenshi and the beginning of Youshi, when it was completely dark. Xiao Qinzhi was stimulated in the east building, returned to the west room, and went straight into the "Ye San Room", Reciting "Zhuangzi" and picking up a pen to practice calligraphy, even Manjing quietly came in and lit the lamp without noticing.

It was dark, the wind was blowing, the lights were on, and people were standing.

The Jianhao brush in Xiao Qin's hand cut out the last return, and the word "qiang" appeared on the paper, with a vigorous momentum, with three points of Yan Zhenqing's momentum.

Chuo's shadow swayed slightly, with a gust of breeze, a dark fragrance wafted in, Manjing remained silent, poured out a cup of tea and handed it over, placed it on the table, knelt down, and gently pinched Xiaolang's sore hand from practicing calligraphy. wrist.

After a while, a small head with a double bun came in from the door, it was Xiao Yunzhi, dressed in light yellow clothes, stepped on small wooden clogs, winked, jumped into the room with a strange smile on his face.

Having a younger sister who likes to be funny is also an interesting thing. Xiao Qinzhi was in a good mood, and the corners of his mouth suddenly rose, and he said with a smile:
"Look, on weekdays it is often said that you want to be a lady and a talented woman like the elder sister. Why, you only did it yesterday, but not today?"

Xiao Yunzhi sat in front of the desk, facing Xiao Qinzhi, with two small hands of jade lotus roots lying on the desk, and a pair of big black eyes blinking, seeming to be very curious about Xiao Qinzhi.

"Brother, you have changed!"

"Yeah! I know, I'm handsome again."

"Hehe!" Xiao Yunzhi laughed amusedly, and said: "Brother, there is no one who is boastful, he has to be praised by others, it is better than Zuo Taichong, so as not to be spit."

Here is an allusion about Zuo Taichong, which must be introduced, otherwise it will be easy to get confused.

The Wei and Jin Dynasties are romantic, women are respected by beauty, and men are famous for their beauty. Pan Yue is the representative of beautiful men. When he was young, he drove on the most prosperous pedestrian street in Luoyang, and he would attract countless female fans to cheer for him. Even old women Fascinated by it, he threw fruit into Pan Yue's car, which filled the car.

As a man, being handsome to such an extent makes those ordinary male compatriots feel ashamed, but there is a person who is not lacking in courage and wants to challenge. This person is called Zuo Taichong.

Zuo Taichong, a young man with poor genetics, is "extremely ugly" according to historical records.

Zuo Taichong's parents feel sorry for their son for being born like this, and feel ashamed in their hearts. Since Zuo Taichong grows up, he can't rely on his appearance to make a living, so let's rely on his talent.Therefore, he was enrolled in remedial classes and interest classes. He was just learning calligraphy, but he had no talent.

In addition, there are a lot of bigwigs who rely on writing to make a living running rampant in the city. Zuo Taichong's parents thought that calligraphy is too introverted, and there is absolutely no future for them, so they enrolled Zuo Taichong in music special classes, bamboo flute, and hole Xiao , guqin and the like.

It's a pity that the genes are not good in appearance, and the rhythm is not the same. The five tones of Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu are not the same.

As Zuo Taichong grew up day by day, he reached the age of getting married, and he didn't talk about his partner. His parents were anxious and entrusted many people to talk about marriage, but none of them agreed.

This made Zuo Taichong, who has always felt good about himself, very depressed. He didn't understand the reason, but he thought it was because he lacked a big stage to show off. Until one day, Zuo Taichong accidentally heard that Pan Yue was raped by a female fan on the most prosperous pedestrian street in Luoyang. Blocked, the inspiration is instantly stimulated, and the idea comes immediately.

So, one day, the very brave Zuo Taichong specially dressed up, held his head high, and went to the most prosperous pedestrian street in Luoyang. He thought he would get the same treatment as Pan Yue, but was besieged by female fans.

However, the reality is cruel. Female fans who are used to Pan Yue's beautiful face, at first glance at Zuo Taichong, feel sick immediately. Everyone spit at Zuo Taichong and rolled their eyes.

Zuo Taichong's dream was shattered, and he fled back home in despair. After this incident, he learned from the pain and made a series of deep self-reflection.

Finally, on a night with the full moon hanging high and the night wind blowing, Zuo Taichong suddenly realized that it was not that he was not good enough, but that people in the world were too superficial, and only paid attention to the gorgeous appearance, ignoring the deep and beautiful soul.

Since the appearance cannot be changed, let's be a handsome man who "has a poetic spirit in his belly". From this, Zuo Taichong began to practice in seclusion and devoted himself to studying hard. After countless cold winter months, he wrote the shocking article "Sandu" "Fu", which attracted people at that time to scramble to praise it, and even "Luoyang paper is expensive", the idiom comes from this.

Xiao Yunzhi quoted the allusion of Zuo Taichong, in order to imply that Xiao Qinzhi felt good about himself and was prone to spitting. Be cute, it doesn’t matter if you look ugly, it’s good if you have a beautiful soul, if you look ugly, you will only hurt yourself, and once a person’s soul is ugly, he will hurt others.”

He also said: "An interesting soul is one in a thousand, but a good-looking skin is the same. Since my sister wants to be a talented woman with a poetic and literary spirit, she must not fall into the cliché and become a vase."

Xiao Yunzhi scratched her head and hurriedly asked, "Brother, what is the vase?"

This is a joke from later generations, but Xiao Qinzhi ignored it and explained: "The vase is also a decoration."

Xiao Yunzhi immediately understood, Nunu pursed her mouth, pretended to be sad, covered her eyes, and said sadly:

"Brother, you have really changed. You never entered the study room before, and you never reasoned with me, woohoo"

Xiao Qinzhi knew that she was pretending to be pitiful, and said with a smile: "You are still young, when you grow up to my age, you will understand."

"Then brother, have you started to reason?"

"Of course, when did I stop being reasonable?"

Xiao Yunzhi took her hand away, revealing a pair of sparkling eyes, then stretched out her hand forward, and said with a smile: "Then brother owes me the monthly money, when will you give it to me?"

"Uh uh." Xiao Qinzhi was embarrassed, and suddenly thought that his monthly bills had not been recovered, and the money he made at the beginning of the month was confiscated, so now he is penniless.

Xiao Yunzhi nodded and said, "So, brother, it's better not to be unreasonable."

Xiao Qinzhi thought silently that he had been taught to be a man.

　Ask for a monthly ticket, a recommended ticket.
