Chapter 923: Begging for Life
Regarding Li Yuanba's words, Li Su and Li Zhen are somewhat helpless, what kind of virtue is their fourth emperor uncle, will they still know?
When his four emperor uncles were in Dingtian Dadu Protectorate, they hadn't eaten any delicacies, but now they began to praise the delicacies on the ship, obviously a little insincere, and their four emperor uncles might not hold back any bad ideas!
"How?" Seeing that Wang Kan and his wife frequently picked up vegetables, Li Yuanba said with some expectation.
Wang Kan bowed slightly, and said with a slight memory on his face: "When His Royal Highness King Wu just proposed the novel cooking method of stir-frying, our Wang family also went to the palace to consult the imperial chef and studied it specially, but I didn't expect that after so many years, I tasted the taste of the year again." ”
Li Yuanba bowed slightly, and said: "Mr. Wang, back then, your Wang family was also a big family, even now, there is some background, how can you and your husband come to the land of Dingtian?" ”
Okay, without further ado, it's all about getting to the point.
Hearing Li Yuanba's words, Wang Kan couldn't help but sigh and said, "Mr. Dou should also know that His Majesty was ruthless in order to eliminate the authority of the five surnames and seven wangs!" Later, the power of the Wang family was weakened every time, and the family members who belonged to our five surnames and seven hopes in the court also died to death and made ......."
When he said this, the expression on Wang Kan's face was a little lonely: "For our Wang clan, after the patriarch Wang Hao died violently, everything changed, and the main veins and branches of the clan began to snatch various resources within the clan. ”
"Are the other major families the same as the Taiyuan Wang family?" Li Yuanba knew a little about this, but Li Yu and Li Zhen didn't care about these at that time, and when they heard Wang Kan's words, they couldn't help asking.
Wang Kan nodded. Said: "Except for the Qinghe Cui clan, the other major clans are almost the same, but now the main vein of the seven clans is no longer the main vein of the past, once the family begins to split, then the main vein will become the target of everyone." The same is true of our Taiyuan Wang family, of course, these have nothing to do with us. At that time, our branch had already taken our own things away from Taiyuan! ”
"Then where have you always lived, you can't just come to the land of Dingtian, right? At that time, there was no Tiandu Protectorate! Li Zhen asked with some curiosity.
Wang Kan smiled bitterly twice and said, "I said it before I went down." Our branch is the least powerful in the entire Taiyuan past, that is to say, only Xia and Zaixia's father, my father died shortly after leaving the family because he didn't have enough money to treat his illness! Therefore, after living in Datang for a year and a half, the war between our Datang and Tianzhu and other places broke out. ”
"That Mr. Wang. What do you do for a living? Li Su asked.
"I have been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since I was a child, although I am not qualified to take the top prize, but I can still teach a few students!" Wang Kan said: "Because there are many Tang people in the Dingtian Protectorate, it is still easy to find a few students who want to be literate!" ”
"Then it's no wonder!" Li Yuanba nodded. If you think that the children on the deck are all students taught by Wang Kan.
"Why don't you go to Wang Jun Wang Changshi, Wang Changshi is above 10,000 people under one person in the Dingtian Capital Protectorate, let him arrange a small position for you. You can still have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime! Li Su's eyes lit up twice and asked.
Wang Kan was slightly stunned and shook his head. said: "Wang Changshi has long broken off contact with the Taiyuan Wang family, and it was indeed the Wang family who was sorry for Wang Changshi back then, and I didn't have the face to go to Wang Changshi." ”
"Looking at Mr. Wang's appearance, this time he plans to return to Datang. I don't know what Mr. Wang's plans are after returning to Datang? Li Yuanba drank a cup of hot tea and asked.
Wang Kan glanced at his wife and said, "We plan to go back to Dengzhou and join Mrs. Xia's cousin!" ”
"Going to join the family?" Li Su frowned and said, "Why didn't you go to the defection before?" ”
"Where is the face!" Wang Kan was silent for a while, and said: "How high-spirited our Taiyuan Wang family was back then, but now it is already a matter of things and people, and I have no face to go to Mrs. Madame's cousin!" ”
This is inevitable, from a family with fine clothes and jade food, wearing silk and satin, he suddenly became a down-and-out scholar with nothing, and no one has the face to meet relatives and friends!
"But, Mr. Wang, have you thought about it?" At this time, Li Yuanba spoke, "Even if your wife's cousin is willing to take you in and give you a way to make a living, it will be under the fence!" You must also know very well that life under the fence is definitely not a good life, and this is not a long-term solution! Don't you want to think about your children? ”
Li Yuanba's words are very reasonable, under the fence, adults may be able to bear the kind of white eyes and even insults from the outside world, but what about children? The age of the child is still young, no matter how obedient the child is, there will still be insults and even beatings and mistreatment, which is absolutely not conducive to the growth of the child.
"Alas!" Wang Kan sighed and said: "This is also a helpless move, if the cousin is willing to take in our family of three, of course it is the best, but if the cousin is unwilling, we will not force it, it is a big deal to start again as a gentleman, or simply go to some businessmen's factories to work!" In this way, they can support their mother and daughter. ”
Wang Kan's statement of taking a step back clearly shows his mentality, as long as he can support their family of three, any self-esteem can be put down.
Li Yuanba's uncle and nephew were all silent, because they were all moved by Wang Kan's words.
The big people have the way of living of the big people, and the little people have the way of living of the little people, the difference is that they are only enjoying life, and the other is trying to make a living.
Li Su, who has always been impulsive and tyrannical, looked at Li Zhen and Li Yuanba, and when he saw that the two of them stopped talking, he said quietly:
"Mr. Wang, it is not a long-term thing to send people under the fence after all! Like you just said, you will be a teacher again, but have you thought about it, there are many scholars in Datang, and there are many famous people who have chosen to teach and educate people! People have more choices, why would they choose you? ”
Li Xuan's words made Wang Kan stunned, looking at the expression on his face, it was obvious that he didn't expect this. (To be continued.) )
