Chapter Twenty-Three: What About Suffering?
A table was set up under the pear tree in the courtyard, and the four of them, except for Zhang Jingming, a guy who couldn't drink, each had a small pot of Shen family's wine. When Wang Po saw that a guest was coming, she specially fried some soybeans as a side dish.
The four of them chatted while drinking, first Shen Qian and Zhu Mian spit bitter water at Tang Ning, saying that the two of them were good children, and Wang Zhongxian had to transform the two of them into good young people. This is the erasure of human individuality, and Wang Zhongxian is going further and further down the wrong path of dictatorship.
Zhang Jingming also smiled bitterly and said that Wang Zhongxian has been arresting him very strictly recently, for example, Wang Zhongxian is eager to break his head, and then pour all the four books and five classics and other things into it.
Next, the three people asked Tang Ning to tell the story of the Great Northwest, and Tang Ning cleared his throat and began to talk about storytelling. The three of them listened in horror, and as Tangning's tone fluctuated, sometimes nervous, sometimes laughing.
In the end, the three of you look at me, I look at you, and said in unison: "I thought how powerful the thief was, but it seems that it is just like that!" β
Tang Ning shook his head and said: "You can't say that, this battle can be won, all thanks to the credit of Marshal Zhang and General Zhe." A strategist, using a poisonous attack to make the thief have no intention of fighting.
An ambush that took advantage of the situation caused the incapacitated western thief to fall into a panic. If it weren't for these two people, I'm afraid the victory or defeat of the Battle of Hundberg would be difficult to say.
The Western Thieves sent an army of 200,000, and if Zhang Dashuai hadn't cut off the water source for them, they would have been able to take Huanzhou down just by besieging it without attacking. β
Zhang Jingming nodded and said: "It makes sense, this cup, let's pay tribute to Marshal Zhang and General Zhe!" β
Shen Qian said disdainfully: "Zhang Cheap, you guy's skin is really not thin, you can think of it by using water to extract wine." β
Zhu Mian smiled and said: "When the intention is reached, it will be done." β
So three glasses of wine and one glass of water, the four of them swallowed their stomachs with a bang.
In the city of Runzhou, the summer nights are very cool. A breeze blew, and the sweaty spirit suddenly felt much more comfortable.
After a glass of wine, Shen Qian said with emotion: "To tell the truth, at the end of last year, the three of us wanted to go to Gyeongju to join the army. β
"Oh?" Tang Ning raised his eyebrows: "Then why didn't you come?" I haven't heard from you either. β
Zhang Jingming touched his nose and said embarrassedly: "I'm ashamed to say that the three of us were robbed by thieves before we left the boundary of Runzhou." If Aunt Wang hadn't worried that we would have chased after us, and brought Uncle He here, you might not have been able to see us. β
Tang Ning was surprised: "And this matter? What the hell is going on? β
Zhu Mian said with some fear: "After the three of us discussed it that day, we came to your house." Ask Aunt Niu to write you a letter to tell you that we have passed.
Aunt Niu didn't agree, saying that if the three of us went to Gyeongju, the road would be too dangerous. Then we didn't listen to Aunt Niu's persuasion, and spent money to hire a few good ones
Han hit the road.
Since you left, we have come to your house to eat if we have nothing to do. The relationship with Aunt Niu and Aunt Wang is good. After eating that day, Aunt Wang couldn't rest assured and came out to find us.
I just happened to see that we were caught by bandits......"
"Wait a minute, where are the bodyguards you hired?"
Speaking of this, Shen Qian became gritted his teeth: "Those five people are pure bastards who take money and don't do anything, as soon as the thieves came out, they ran away."
On the way, he patted his chest and said that he was a figure with a head and a face in the rivers and lakes, and he didn't have to make a move when he encountered a thief, and he could scare them just by reporting his name.
Phew! β
Tang Ning couldn't help but sigh, as soon as the Changhong dart game fell, the new dart game on the Runzhou side had not yet been established, so some cow ghosts and snake gods took the opportunity to do this kind of unconscionable thing.
If it goes back to the source, I'm afraid that the reason for the bad luck of these three brothers will have to find their own heads.
Zhu Mian saw that Shen Qian was scolding and scolding, so he continued to Tang Ning: "Then Aunt Wang came out to take us away, and threatened the bandit that she had reported to the official, and the officers and soldiers would arrive immediately.
As a result, those thieves did not fall for the plan and caught Aunt Wang. Fortunately, Uncle He came out at this time and killed one of the dozen thieves to save us.
After this incident, Mr. Takeyanagi became very strict with us. In the past, I was with Shenqian, but he didn't even look at it once. β
Tang Ning smiled: "That's okay, you came to Runzhou to learn knowledge, not to throw all your time on a woman's belly."
There is a sentence that you may not like to hear, but today my brother will tell you a sentence while he is drinking, don't you mind.
We're not old yet, and we're not old enough to take the word for the title. Taking advantage of the present to learn knowledge and enrich ourselves is what we should do.
With the current foundation, whether it is an official or a business in the future, the chance of success will always be more than others. And the two of you are not as cheap as me and Zhang, you all have a solid family background.
Now work hard, work hard, what kind of green building will not go in the future? What kind of woman can't be found?
To be honest, when I was in Tokyo City, my brother, I had the privilege of experiencing the Chunhua Building. It's not that I'm bragging to you, you can't get into that place no matter how much money people have.
I went the day before, and when I saw the official's house the day after, I saw several acquaintances. Tell me, if you can go to that kind of place, it's also a capital to go out and brag, right? β
While speaking, Zhang Jingming and Shenqian were also attracted by Tang Ning's words. Hearing this, Shen Qian slapped the table and said loudly: "I have decided!" I want to study hard! I want to be a great official in the future! I'm going to Chunhua Tower too! β
Zhu Mian was also moved by Shenqian's words, and slapped the table and said, "I will."
Come and be a big official! Not for anything else, just for the beauty, I also want to be a big official! Big officer! β
Zhang Jingming shook his head and said, "Vulgar, it's too vulgar." If you two become great officials, it will be a misfortune for my holy pilgrimage. β
Shen Qian rolled his eyes and said, "Zhang Cheap, if you don't talk cool here, you don't want to be an official?" β
"I think, of course I do."
"Then why do you want to be an official?"
"To put it nicely, it's for the people of the world and for the officials." Zhang Jingming is righteous and righteous.
"What about the ugly ones?"
"Of course, it's for money, I can support a family of more than a dozen people for just a month as an official, I have this ability, why don't I become an official?"
Tang Ning, Shen Qian, and Zhu Mian looked at Zhang Jingming and shook their heads in unison and said, "Vulgar!" β
Zhang Jingming snorted and said: "The three of you are all evil capitalists, look at the three of you, one is Su Jin at home, the other is selling wine that rich people may not be able to drink, and the other is doing business all over the country."
You are not short of money, I am the proletariat, I am short of money. I'm fighting hard to get what I don't have, vulgar? Well? Vulgar? β
The three of them arched their hands towards Zhang Jingming and said with admiration: "Noble! β
After speaking, Zhang Jingming squinted at Tang Ning and said, "Brother Tang, is there any way to become an official quickly, give me the whole one?" β
Tang Ning nodded, "Yes, yes, but I don't recommend you to do it." One is to suffer unimaginably hard, and the other is a military attachΓ©, who is somewhat unorthodox in our Great Song Dynasty.
At the latest, the year after tomorrow, the official family will definitely open Enke, why don't you work hard and go to Bo a Donghuamen to roll call? β
Speaking of this, Shen Qian and Zhu Mian were rarely silent. Tang Ning looked at the three of them strangely, feeling that there seemed to be something in them that he didn't know.
Zhang Jingming looked down at his rough palm and said, "Soon after that incident came out, my father left." When he was not working, he went into the mountains to cut firewood and was bitten by a poisonous snake. The doctor at my house can also cure a headache and brain fever, and he can't do anything about it.
I had only been at home for a month, and my mother kicked me out of the house and asked me to come back and continue studying.
From that day on, I thought that there was nothing wrong with my father and mother providing me with education and asking me to study. But the road is too long, too long. And maybe something will happen in the middle, such as I failed the exam, such as the official family did not open Enke.
And now, since there's a faster path ahead of me, why don't I take it? The identity problem can be solved as long as you take the Jinshi examination, and as for the hardships, ......"
Zhang Jingming smiled when he said this: "There is probably no suffering in this world that I Zhang Jingming can't endure." β
