Ping An Biography

"... Mencius said: Even if you are middle-aged, you can't raise your middle-class, and if you are talented, you can't raise your talents. Therefore, people are happy to have good fathers and brothers. If you can't abandon the middle-aged, and you can't abandon the talents, then the virtuous and the unworthy will go away. There can't be an inch... "A ten-year-old child with his hands behind his back, looked at the sky and recited methodically, "You can do what you want, and then you can...you can..."

He frowned and thought hard for a while, then lowered his head and looked pitifully at Mrs. Dong, only to see that his mother's hand holding the needle and thread did not move, and her expression was lost in thought.He waited for a while and saw that there was no movement, then said cautiously: "Mom, I'm done reciting."

Dong seemed to have just recovered, but angrily put down his clothes and needlework, and said, "Stretch out your hand."

"Mother..." The boy showed pain on his face.

Dong said solemnly: "Being a male, you should be a man in the future. A man is not afraid of doing bad things, even if he doesn't even have the courage to bear them. Do you understand why I beat you?" [

"Yes." The boy gritted his teeth and held out his palm.After a while, I remembered the crisp sound of "papa". The boy's thin body really looked too pitiful under this battle.He cried out quickly.

Only then did Dong realize that he had been hit hard, and he also became sad, with a sore nose.But she didn't coax the child, and said, "Go out and play for a while, get some air, and then memorize the whole article." Even so, her tone was still stern.

As soon as the child heard the cry, his clear eyes were immediately attracted by the scenery of flowers, plants, insects and birds in early summer outside the door.It's always easy to be happy when you're young.

But Dong's heart was in a mess, and he couldn't let go of it all day long.

Last night, when I suddenly heard about Zhang Ning's visit, I wrote that note impulsively. It was indeed lacking in thoughtfulness, and now I regret it very much.

She wrote a paper contract to meet Zhang Ning, and only said that she had something to say... What did she say, why did she ask to meet him?Now even she is confused.It may be because I fell into a feeling of loss and couldn't extricate myself.The only sustenance of her life now is her child Yu Mian, and yesterday when she was depressed and depressed, even Yu Mian was ignored, and she felt that her life seemed to be meaningless, but she was like a walking dead person; no fun, nothing Expectation, no one to talk to, numbness day after day... At that time, she only had a simple idea, she wanted to find someone to really talk to, and she wanted to look forward to it.It was agreed to meet tomorrow, and I really had some inexplicable expectations at the beginning.

But that expectation quickly turned into worry.Because after she wrote about the appointment, she was afraid that Zhang Ning would ignore it, so she casually added a threat: Shuang promised to regret it... Maybe it was because she was always ignored by others, and she was used to being ignored, so she subconsciously said that.

Then she gradually straightened out the front and rear joints: King Xiang is also considered a high-ranking person in a separate area. This kind of person is very suspicious and defensive. Once he is threatened, if he is defensive, he may preemptively cut off hidden dangers.How to cut it off?We must guard against the danger Yu Qian brings to him after the incident; or if we are more cunning, we should simply get rid of Yu Qian at the right time, so as not to leave any future troubles.

The consequences are very serious, and at least it will drag down my husband and affect Yu Qian's career here. I had recently heard that he might be the governor of Jiangxi. The opportunity to be the governor of Jiangxi is very likely to be lost; in the hands of someone?If it is serious, it will bring disaster to your husband, and there is a fear of life... If such consequences happen, Mrs. Dong dare not imagine her end, first of all, her conscience will not let her go.

After thinking about it like this, she occasionally comforted herself that maybe things weren't that bad.Who knows?

Are all people in the world prone to worry, or are only "women" so timid?

In the midst of her uneasiness and extreme fear, she seemed to have a little expectation and hope, only thinking that tomorrow would come soon.In this feeling of living like a year, always pay attention to the sun in the sky, until it looks forward to it going down the mountain.I can finally sleep. Although there is still the whole night, I can fall asleep very quickly.

Unexpectedly, it was difficult to fall asleep.

Husband is still as usual, reading various books in the study until late at night; I remember that he studied hard in his hometown before he was not awarded a Jinshi, and he was not as busy as he is now when he was studying hard. Just feel it.When her husband went back to his room to rest, Dong could clearly judge from his voice how he took off his belt and clothes, and what position he used to go to bed, but she pretended to be asleep and didn't know anything... Indeed, she herself didn't expect much, even if there was occasionally When making out, she can imagine the boring and unchanging process and ending at the beginning.

I don't know why people are so interesting in life. They obviously have everything that the world envies, a good husband, a decent status, and a satisfied son, but they always feel that they lack something, just like painting a dragon without a pair of eyes.Dong thought: Maybe I am too inadequate to appreciate the hardships of the world.

...The agreed place is a jewelry store.Why did Dong choose this place?One is that she feels safe in a place she knows well. She has been to this shop several times, and she never goes to any teahouse or restaurant if she has nothing to do. Yu Qian knows.Yu Qian believes that as a scholar-bureaucrat, one should always pay attention to restraint, and should not develop a habit of extravagance that will lead to a decline in self-cultivation, so frugality is very important. If she is known to be interested in such flashy jewels, she must be preached.But women are inevitably attracted by such gorgeous things, and Mrs. Dong is no exception, so she occasionally sneaks a look and buys one or two small things.

Because of her impatience, Mrs. Dong went out early, sent her maid to wait elsewhere, and went to the shop alone.She wore a veiled hat on her head, covered by a veil in front, and did not show her face.Approaching the shop, the shopkeeper has a sharp eye and sees that although this woman is dressed in a simple and elegant manner, she behaves decently and generously. She must not be a woman from an ordinary family, at least she is a customer with purchasing power, so she immediately comes to greet her in person.

Mrs. Dong said softly: "I want to pick out a piece of jewelry. I brought my master to help me go over it, but he has gone back to pick up the tools, so I have to wait. You can arrange a quiet room so that we can take a closer look."

When the shopkeeper heard it, he felt that he had met a big buyer. Those wealthy families were very picky when they bought this kind of delicates.After all, a lot of money is stupid, and it is rare to meet a good person who pays money regardless of whether it is good or bad. [

"Our shop has all kinds of tools for this business..." The shopkeeper hurriedly said, "That's fine, the old man asked someone to prepare a place, you can go to the room first and see if there is anyone you like. "

Mrs. Dong nodded lightly in agreement, and followed in.Most of the goods in the hall facing the street are ordinary things, but after passing through the hall, the quality of the things inside is much better, and gems and jade are the main ones. The right way is that gold has a price and jade price.Dong didn't plan to buy anything. To be honest, she was more willing to buy the gold and silver items in the hall. She felt that gold and silver jewelry could not only be used for fun, but could also be cashed out at a clear price when she was in distress, which was more practical than pearls and jade.

Of course, she won't show that she doesn't want to buy at all, in that case, people won't bother to talk to you.

It's just that she is really not in the mood to look at these things today, and she is still worrying about things in her heart.So Gu Pan showed an absent-minded look.Seeing the anecdote, he said: "If Madam doesn't like the things here, how about I show you something?"

"Okay." Mrs. Dong replied casually, and looked back outside between words.

At this moment, the old man unlocked and took out a box from the cabinet.When Mrs. Dong heard him say "madam, please take a look", she casually turned her head to look at it, but she suddenly felt fond of it.I saw that it was a string of light purple beads, cushioned with white silk, it was not as eye-catching and bright as pearls, but faintly revealed a low-key luster, the nobility of purple, and looked like pearls. Big grapes are generally chic; the most beautiful thing is the natural color texture on it, which feels ethereal and dreamlike.

Dong couldn't help reaching out to pick up a bead, which looked smooth but slightly rough to the touch.

The old man said: "The material is purple agate. Sincerity is the most expensive business. The price is 800 taels, and no treasure money is accepted. Since Madam is an expert, she may think it is too expensive for the weight of this string of agates, but it It has its own rare features worth mentioning. This product is not produced in the middle of the earth, so it is very difficult to obtain; the color is grape "color", which is naturally the top grade of this kind; The difficult thing is to select dozens of beads with several flaws and the same size and finely carve them. At first glance, they are exactly the same, but they are different and have their own wonders after careful play. This object has auspiciousness and moisture in it. , if you wear it on your body, there are various benefits..."

Mrs. Dong also thought it was rare and good, but after all, it was a stone, and it was really impossible to buy such a thing for 800 taels.There are so many things I like in the world, and she was easy to be attached to when she was young, but now she is much more indifferent.

After a while, I saw Zhang Ning walking over from the hallway.Mrs. Dong deliberately raised her voice and said: "Our master is here, is the room ready?"

The shopkeeper looked back and was a little surprised. He originally thought that the appreciator was an older person, but unexpectedly he was so young and dignified.

When Zhang Ning came over, Dong turned his face away and pretended to look at the string of beads, but his face was slightly red but he ignored it.He didn't care about talking nonsense in front of others, so he couldn't help but said, "Why are you in this kind of place?"

After what he said, Mrs. Dong also felt that it seemed a little inappropriate to hastily agree on a place, but she really couldn't think of a place that was more familiar and not easy to meet acquaintances.She thought for a while, put down the beads in her hand, and walked out without saying a word.

Zhang Ning didn't catch up right away, instead he waited for a while, turned his head and looked at the old shopkeeper, and then glanced at the jewelry on the table.
