Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 71 The Meaning of Life
Wang Xiu rushed to the old man's residence with the fastest speed. When he saw the children, some were playing happily, and some were reading in the room. Only Li Caixuan was with him in the room. He was relieved and they all came back.

"Is there anyone following me?" Wang Xiu couldn't be completely relieved, so she asked one more question.

He Wei shook his head and said, "Don't worry, no one is paying attention."

"That's good, that's good." Wang Xiu felt relieved, and smiled again: "I'm worrying too much. During this time, Zhu Rong won't be able to cause trouble."

"What?" He Wei blinked, not understanding.

Wang Xiu told Zhu Rong exactly what happened, and the old man and He Wei laughed heartily, mourning for the poor boy.

He Wei looked at Wang Xiu meaningfully, and said, "Your Majesty Zhizhou is here, why did you miss an opportunity?"

"It's just Chenzhou!" Wang Xiu didn't want to go into details, but summed it up in one word, but the heroic spirit expected was fully displayed.

The old man's eyes lit up, and he sighed: "The official has great ambition!"

Li Caixuan's big eyes twinkled and looked at Wang Xiu curiously.

Wang Xiu smiled, and said: "My old man is too famous. Only after I saw my old man put up with hardships, did I realize how shallow I was in the past."

"A person who achieves nothing, let the officials laugh, cough cough." The old man coughed again, and Li Caixuan hurriedly beat the old man's back.

"Okay, it's getting late, Lao Su should go to bed early, and I'll come back tomorrow." Wang Xiu smacked her lips, hesitated to speak, and finally got up to leave.

"Alright, the officials went back to rest earlier, the old man wants to talk more with the children." The old man said lightly.

Hearing this, Wang Xiu looked at the old man in amazement, his calm smile in the face of death, his face full of grooves, was full of calmness towards death.

Maybe it's seeing through life and death in the world!There was a burst of sadness in his heart, mixed with a little gratification. Someone lived a life of glory and wealth, but he couldn't see through the world when he died. After being reborn as a human for a hundred years, he sighed softly, and said with a long bow: "Farewell."

It was night, in the study room of Zhu's courtyard, Zhu Rong stood obediently, his face was very pale, and he peeked at his father from time to time.

Zhu Qianqian paced back and forth, his face turned red for a while, then turned pale for a while, when he was tired from walking, he stopped in front of Zhu Rong and shouted: "Nizi, seeing what you have done, how dare you act presumptuously in front of Lord Zhizhou, you don't want to live anymore!" .”

Zhu Rong wept, like a dead mother, weakly said: "Father, I don't know!"

"I don't know?" Seeing that his son was not enlightened, even more stupid than that fat pig, Zhu Qianqian couldn't help coming up angrily, and said sharply: "Even if Mr. Zhizhou is not here, if you act recklessly in public, in case something happens , Where should I put my face? Also, who is He Wei, can he offend you? Needless to say, Wang Xiu, even the Sun family is not something you can offend."

"Wang Xiu is just relying on what..." Zhu Rong still didn't understand, and he was very unconvinced to argue.

Zhu Qianxi was furious, his whole body was fat and trembling, he pointed at Zhu Rong tremblingly, and said: "You, you dare to humiliate wantonly without knowing who he is, and you still want to find rogues to hurt others, I sue you, you If you beat Wang Xiu today, don't talk about yourself, even your old man and I will be done with."

Zhu Rong shivered all over, his eyes glazed over.

"Are you afraid? The young master of Wan Shi Xing is silent. Why have you stayed in Shangshui for more than a month? You are told to read more books, but you spend your days and nights. You go and read the Theory of the Mind, Wang Xiu and Mo Mo, and what are the three works. Xiu is the writer, do you understand?" Zhu Qianqian hated that iron could not be made into steel, if Zhu Rong hadn't been his only son, he would have killed him now.

Zhu Rong was so shocked that he immediately petrified, Nuonuo said: "Why... how could this happen. He, he has such a great ability?"

"Hmph, in normal times, I would have to curry favor with Wang Xiu. You rebellious son actually let me lose a great opportunity, and you are still ashamed in front of Zhizhou." For more than ten years, what he thought in his heart was definitely not what he said in his mouth. Maybe it was his one chance to offend Wang Xiu.

Zhu Rong trembled and didn't know what to do. Normally, he was gentle and elegant, and he was quite popular among the young scholars in Wanqiu. When he encountered a crisis, he showed his true colors. He pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger. On the stainless steel plate, there is nothing wrong!

"Tell me, why did you have a conflict with Wang Xiu? I told you to be polite to others on weekdays, and you did pretty well. Why do you want to snatch someone else's private room today?" Zhu Qianqian was so sophisticated, he directly pointed to the trigger point of the problem.

Zhu Rong thought for a long time, then shook his head, looking confused.

"Who did you go with, and what did you say, think about it carefully." Zhu Qianqian's face was ugly, wishing to give his son a slap in the face, he didn't know if he was instigated by everyone, and he would be a fool if he was betrayed How many count money.

"Two from our county... and Zhang Qiyuan from Shangshui County, yes, Zhang Qiyuan." Zhu Rong's eyes lit up.

In the early morning of the next day, Wang Xiu had just woken up to take a shower, He Wei led Zong Liang to come in a panic, and the first sentence was: "Daddy fell asleep in the morning."

Wang Xiu didn't feel too much astonishment, let alone panic, there was only endless sadness and desolation, and that moment of emptiness.

When he arrived at the house, he stood in front of the old man with a peaceful face who had already let go, without crying, but just stood and stared, his ears still filled with the conversation with the old man yesterday.

"How can the old man not know them, stealing property in private for the sake of treating the little old man, but he has no power. Someone make a request."

"The old man sees others, and meeting is fate. As long as I can do it, I will live up to my trust."

"Thank you officer, the old man can't bear to see the harsh environment of the nursing home. Since a few years ago, he has taken in ten orphans. These children have their own merits. I believe the officer can see it. The old man is running out of time. I hope the officer is behind the old man. Poor These orphans, take them in, but please give them a bite to eat."

"Don't worry, Lao Su, Wang Xiu will live up to expectations, please, please, Lao Su agree to the next thing."

"Please also invite Lao Su to have a good meal."

"Hehe. It's better to obey orders than to respect the old man."

The events of yesterday were vivid in his mind. Wang Xiu really wanted to cry, but he still held back. He couldn't show even a trace of cowardice in front of the children. At least now he thinks that it is cowardly for a man to cry in front of others. Performance.

The only thing that comforted him was that the old man walked through the last journey of his life peacefully. Although the last night was not so perfect, the old man was calm.

The only thing that made him regret was that he was so stupid that he never asked the old man's name. It was too inappropriate, really careless!

The only thing that makes him fortunate is that he got a clearer direction, which should be said to be an important goal in the general direction, and there are ten children.

"Uncle, big daddy has gone." Li Caixuan hugged his arm, crying pear blossoms with rain, making people love and pity.

"Old Su, Lao Su's last name is Gao, who of you know?" Wang Xiu felt a little embarrassed in her grief.

Zong Liang glanced at Wang Xiu, his face was full of surprise, but he was also very ashamed. He turned to look at the younger brothers, and said, "Who of you know?"

Wang Xiu was so surprised that she almost gasped. After living for so many years, these children don't even know the old man's name.No wonder, they are all orphans of twelve or thirteen years old, they were less than ten years old when they were taken in, and they are used to being called Daddy, where did they think about the name of the old man, do they think that the old man with high moral character didn't even keep his name?Heaven is unfair!

"Daddy often writes Gaozi, I don't know if it could be a surname." Qin Min said weakly.

Wang Xiu frowned for a while, then slowly shook her head, and said softly: "It's not right, it's not right!"

He Wei sighed deeply, and said, "Why bother with the surname, wouldn't it be better to have a nameless name."

Wang Xiu looked at He Wei in surprise, when there was silence, He Wei was like a star covered by a bright moon, and now she is only emitting her own light little by little, even though there are many unsatisfactory people, there are a few people who can be called perfect Woolen cloth?
"Go to find a good place outside the city for a deep burial, and let the old man rest in the ground." Wang Xiu said, then turned around and looked at a child, and said in a deep voice: "The old man has entrusted you to me, and you will follow me from today on." I."

No one made a sound, the children were crying silently.

Wang Xiu turned around again and embraced Li Caixuan, looking at the sleeping old man, his eyes became extremely firm, and he said softly, "Don't worry, old man."
