0146 Emphasis on righteousness over wealth
Shen Zhezi also smiled apologetically at Zhang Jikang: "It's me who lost my words, Zhang Jun, please forgive me." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoIt's just that I am in a similar situation with Brother Ziyu, and I am also far away, and I can't worship Gao Tang, and I really feel it. ā
When Ding Wei heard this, he grinned: "You came to Duzhong to elect the emperor's son-in-law, how can you travel and study farther than him, how can it be considered a similar situation!" ā
For Ding Wei's divine mending knife that does not distinguish between enemies and me, Shen Zhezi was powerless to complain, and he couldn't pick up the ideas, and after pondering for a while, he said: "Today's poem is all touched by Brother Zhang's filial piety, and it should be given." Brother Zhang is old and virtuous, and I really don't know what to give as a thanks. ā
"Lang Jun is serious, hearing this poem to express my heart and release my heart knot, I am already grateful, how dare I thank you!"
Zhang Jin hurriedly waved his hand and said.
"Otherwise, the work of poetry is just a momentary expression. Brother Zhang's words and deeds taught me, so that I was introspective, and I learned a lot from this teaching. ā
Shen Zhezi's insistence on retribution of gratitude ignored Zhang Jin's excuses, clapped his palms in the middle of the banquet, and when even the servants of the Shen family came up carrying a box with a square circle of more than a foot in front of the two of them, put the box on the table in front of Shen Zhezi, and then hurriedly retreated.
The box was not big on the outside, but it seemed to be extremely heavy, and it was so heavy that it almost creaked. Hearing this movement, everyone couldn't help but speculate about what was in the box.
"Brother Zhang is about to return to his hometown, and he has prepared a little Bo Yi for the journey, please don't shirk Brother Zhang."
As he spoke, Shen Zhezi raised his hand to push the box towards Zhang Jin, but he didn't expect that his strength was too small to push it, and he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.
This scene made people's curiosity even more intense, the old man Ding Wei was sitting next to Shen Zhezi, and after seeing this, he got up and walked over, and asked, "Can you take a look at what's inside?" ā
Shen Zhezi lifted the lid of the box, a touch of gold flashed, Rao is old man Ding Wei's family background is also solid, seeing the whole box of gold, he also froze on the spot, and only returned to his seat after a while to sit down, no longer speaking.
Although others didn't see anything in the box, Zhang Jin saw it clearly, and immediately his face changed, and he almost ran away from the seat, and then stopped his steps, turned around and waved his hand to Shen Zhezi again and again: "This gift is too heavy, I dare not bear it!" ā
This scene made the people who were far away from the seats even more curious about what was in the box, although they were reserved and did not ask, their hearts were already tormented by thousands of claws.
Shen Zhezi had no intention of satisfying everyone's curiosity immediately, so he pressed his hand on the box and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang used to talk to me very happily, but now he can't avoid it, do you want to treat me as an enemy?" ā
Hearing Shen Zhezi say this, Zhang Jin was so anxious that tears were about to fall, and he snorted: "I, I definitely didn't mean that, it's just, it's just that Zhezi Langjun's gift is too heavy, I really can't afford it......"
"As Zhang Jun said, my family is quite rich, and the floating wealth is like flowing water to me, and it is unstoppable to come, and it is not a pity to go. With this boring thing, in order to repay Brother Zhang's teachings of virtue, I still have a little grievance. It's not just me, even if you're here, which one is not a sage who values wealth and righteousness? ā
Shen Zhezi patted the box and continued to say to Zhang Jin: "Zunfu Zhang Gong, because of the thinking of the perch, throw away the official Lu, the wind and dust, return to my hometown for thousands of miles, and talk to me in Wumei." Today, Brother Zhang returned to his hometown to serve his relatives, and he caused this dusty thing, why bother to change color. With my useless things, in order to fund Brother Zhang's family's urgency, just as Brother Zhang taught me to be young, good friends and mutual teachers, and they all have gains. ā
Zhang Jin knew that this gift was heavy, but he still shook his head and waved his hand. This made Zhang Jikang faintly dissatisfied, feeling that this son insulted his family's tranquil and open-minded style, and even opened his mouth at the table and said: "Since it is a good friend and mutual education, a little gift, and a smile, why do you need to make such a gesture." On the occasion of friends, the way of the five constants has the meaning of wealth. Shen Lang doesn't use the door to stay away from you, how can you see you with this. ā
These words seemed to be reprimanding Zhang Jin, but he was faintly arrogant, boasting that his family was better than the Shen family.
These words made Shen Zhezi feel a little unhappy, and after hearing this, he smiled and said: "What Zhang Jun said is exact, the righteousness of wealth, just laugh and accept it." After Brother Zhang returned home, he had to support both the high hall and the family, which could not be done by talking about it. Brother Zhang, a righteous person, if he has spent years here, won't his years be wasted? ā
This is to ridicule Zhang Jikang's empty talk, just say it and don't do it. Zhang Jikang's face was even hotter, even if he had the heart to refute, Zhang Jin's patched old shirt was really an eyesore.
Originally, he didn't care so much, but earlier because of the candidate for the emperor's son-in-law with the Shen family, he had a mustard, and today Shen Zhezi came uninvited to invite fame, and there was Ding Wei, an old man who didn't know what to do. The next thing is that Zhang Jin, a member of the distant tribe, was brought out to offer ugliness in front of people, and many factors accumulated, and his mentality was hidden unbalanced, and he was churned together with the old enmity with the Shen family.
"Ding Nan's household, starting a family and starting a house, is not a matter of ten days, and it is not the work of the slightest thread. Shen Lang is young, and he doesn't know the difficulties of personnel, so he can only slow down his wealth. Although it was a good intention, my clan was very self-reliant, and I didn't want to accept it, so I had to give it away. However, Shen Lang doesn't have to worry about his livelihood, he might as well show the assets in this box, and after he returns home, my family will make up for it according to the amount, so that Shen Lang's friendship will not hurt each other. ā
This is a bit mean, not only saying that Shen Zhezi is young and ignorant, but also saying that his family's accumulation of wealth and goods is not the way to establish the world, and finally flaunts his own family once again, and does not interact with the Shen family.
As for the amount of money in the box, looking at the reactions of Ding Wei and Zhang Jin, we can know a lot, Zhang Jikang asked Shen Zhezi to show everyone, which is to show once again that his family does not admire money. And that inadequate, since Zhang Jikang can say it, he is confident that he can do it. Although his family is not as rich as the Shen family, it is expected that a young man will give it casually, and no matter how much it is, there will be a limit, unless it is a box full of gold.
Shen Zhezi was slightly stunned when he heard this, he chose to come to Zhangjiayin Garden to brush up his prestige, because the quality of the people who are often here is relatively high, so there should be no face-slapping plot.
But things have developed to this point, and he didn't expect it, if it weren't for this Zhang Jin to introduce himself, no one would have imagined that he was actually a disciple of the Zhang family. Because of this small negligence, I don't know which nerve Zhang Jikang has to touch, and I begged to be slapped in the face. This is really a fixed wish, I don't dare to ask for it, Shen Zhezi has a plan for a long time, so that he will not be restrained because of his family's territory.
Just when Shen Zhezi grinned and was about to open the box, the old man Ding Wei who was present at the table reached out and pressed his hand on the box to stop it, and said to Zhang Jikang with some displeasure: "This matter has been revealed, your children are not willing to accept gifts, it is useless to say more." Each family has its own way of survival, so why bother to compare. ā
Although he admired Shen Zhezi as a young man, he also had a deep old friendship with the Zhang family, and he didn't want to see Zhang Jikang continue to humiliate himself. However, Zhang Jikang's mentality has slipped into the extreme, only to feel that the old man's words are still ridiculing himself, and sneered: "Could it be that Ding Gong also said that I am a stingy person, and I treat my own children as well as outsiders? ā
When it comes to this step, if Ding Wei obstructs it again, it will become a move to tarnish his name. This old man is not accustomed to concealing and pretending, and his face has sunk after hearing this, and the hand that was originally pressed on the box suddenly moved upward, and under the background of the candles in all directions, the room was suddenly filled with golden light!
When everyone around saw this scene, they all gasped, and they all guessed what was in the box in their hearts, and even if this conjecture came up, they were all immediately denied by themselves. The so-called money is like dung, but in fact, how can it be the same, even if everyone here does not love money, but at first glance when you see a whole box of gold in front of you, you can't help but lose your mind for a moment.
Nowadays, Jiangdong gold is expensive and cheap, and a slightly sufficient gold hairpin in the market in Jiankang City is sold for tens of thousands of dollars, and how many taels of materials does a gold hairpin have? The box of gold in front of you is at least more than 100 catties! Anyone with a modicum of common sense thinks about it for a moment, and his heart is smacking.
"You boy, you don't know what to do! How can people accept such a generous gift! ā
Ding Wei sat back in his seat and said to Shen Zhezi.
Shen Zhezi was a little stunned: "As Zhang Jun said, Ding Nan's household and starting a family is not a wisp of work." Brother Zhang in the bamboo forest because of the lack of filial piety and tears, I can't bear to see the sorrow of his wanderer, willing to help him. He was also afraid that he would not finish his studies and would find it difficult to stand on his own feet after returning to his hometown, so he asked his family to return home to receive gifts. ā
Speaking of this, he arched his hand to Zhang Jikang on the other side and said: "At that time, I really didn't know that Brother Zhang was actually a disciple of the Zunfu, but I didn't want my kind idea to become a delusional idea of Yue Yan's substitution, I am really ashamed!" ā
If he didn't say so, Zhang Jikangzhi would be a little less embarrassed. As soon as he noticed that everyone's eyes were projected, Zhang Jikang felt even more ashamed, he really didn't expect that this box was really full of gold, so how could he take back what he said before? The Zhang family is just looking at the sky, even if they can raise so much gold, it is impossible to give it to a side branch disciple casually.
Zhai Zhuang sighed at the banquet and said: "I often hear the ancient style of valuing righteousness and ignoring wealth, Shen Lang is grateful for righteousness and gives money, Zhang Lang keeps the festival and does not accept it, the ancient style is in Jiangdong, it is tied to this generation!" ā
Hearing him say this, the atmosphere in the hall became relaxed again. It's just that Ji Kang sat on the seat with his head down and didn't say a word. He didn't want to stay here for a moment longer, but if he left in a hurry, he would be too embarrassed, and his heart was entangled to the extreme, so he simply made a wooden appearance.
The old man sat in the seat, took out two one-pound gold cakes from the box, put them in his hand, and sighed a few times in his mouth, and then put them on the table and pushed them forward, and said to Zhang Jin: "Friends give each other, but they are disrespectful." Returning to the hometown to serve your mother is also consumed, and you can take these things. If you will be paid in the future, why not be afraid of benefiting today? Remember this grace and encourage yourself. ā
That Zhang Jin looked at Zhang Jikang sideways, but the other party didn't react as if he was asleep, so he stepped forward to take the gold ingot and gave Shen Zhezi a deep salute, while Shen Zhezi avoided the table and returned it.
"As for these, you take them home. The children of the anointing sorghum don't know the hard work, and the shot is so unserious. If he really receives such a high salute from you, he will be in trouble! ā
Ding Wei closed the box full of gold again and pushed it in front of Shen Zhezi.
Shen Zhezi shook his head: "Invest out of my house, return to my home, this is to invite the name of rich capital." Ding Gong also knows the purpose of my coming, and if I do this, wouldn't my previous efforts be wasted! How can I be attacked again by material criticism because of this small amount of goods? ā
