Chapter 8 The Long Sky in the Cup
Chang Sihao sighed in his heart, secretly thinking that his father-in-law secretly stuffed me with the money from the sale of his body in the past, wouldn't it be the same mood? For him who is old and frail, that is the only thing he can do for himself. Qin Langchuan did more than that, the elders thought of a lot of things for the children, maybe the children would never know, if the Jue Xiang could understand half of his painstaking efforts, it would be rare. Thinking of his misunderstanding of himself, most of it is due to the long-term cultivation of people, the importance of guarding against people's hearts, and the formation of a mindset, but he can't be blamed. At this moment, the things he talked about to himself were very private, and it was obvious that he still regarded himself as his confidant? Thinking of this, the slightest estrangement between the former and the former disappeared. Suddenly, he remembered something again, took off two long knives from his waist and handed them over: "Jue Sheng, this snow battle was originally lent to me by your uncle, and now that the war is over, it should be returned to the original owner, and the Benlei knife is a relic of Qi Beishan, you can also take it together." ”
Qin Juexiang blinked, pushed the knife back, and said, "Uncle is dead, don't return this knife, you can take it." ”
Chang Sihao was stunned: "Then how can it be done?" Qin Juexiang said: "Why not? People in the rivers and lakes must always carry a blade to defend themselves." Chang Sihao laughed and said, "I'm a Jianghu person." ”
Qin Juexiang said with a smile: "You pick Chi Zhengrong with a knife and cut Xi Haoxiong with a waist, the name has already spread, and you still say that you are not from the rivers and lakes? ”
When Chang Sihao heard this, he was stunned and fell silent.
Qin Juexiang said: "Big brother, everyone has a circle around them, or a world, which world they have entered if they have more contact, and it is okay to change the word "world" to rivers and lakes, storytelling and singing, storytelling and singing, business, business and trading, our rivers and lakes are nothing more than more contact with martial arts people, hands-on, tricks, power competitions, and two cooks on the same stage There is no difference, you don't have to think too much." ”
Chang Sihao smiled: "What you said is not bad, it's just a chef's skill, so you don't need to take off your head every day and pin it to your trouser belt." ”
Qin Juexiang laughed: "How can it be so evil, as long as our hands are hard and our waists are hung on our waists, it is always other people's heads, our own heads, but we can be stable, drink a lot, eat meat, and don't delay anything!"
Chang Sihao stared thoughtfully, and muttered: "When I was in the army, I heard Xu Gong say: 'Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh. It can be seen that the emperor and the prime minister are no different from the cooks, no matter what the people in the world do, in the end, they are just to eat for a mixed meal, you see those who buy cattle and sell horses, boil tea and sell wine, and farm the land, life is good or bad, and they are always at peace, in contrast, the people in the rivers and lakes are much worse, the same mouthful of food, why bother to fight with your life, it is really uncommitted. ”
Qin Juexiang was very funny when he heard this, and laughed: "Haha, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, so what did he say, obviously it was Lao Tzu who said it, he just quoted it." After a while, the smile was slightly retracted, as if there was a little recognition in his heart, he sighed lightly, and said: "Hey, the rivers and lakes, that's what is going on, like you said, fighting and killing, isn't it just for food? Although it takes a lot of effort to eat meat, it is better than eating those leftovers and wild dog food thrown away by people along the street. You think that those who do small business and farm land have a good life, but you don't think about it, the way of this world is that people are good at bullying people, horses are good at riding, and how much is a day of excesses and miscellaneous taxes? Do the ruffians and hooligans extort money? Work hard, and give all the money they earn to others, and you can barely live with half a full life. What is the situation on the rivers and lakes? With a knife in my waist to call for wind and rain, the ruffians and hooligans are afraid of me, the heroes of the three mountains and five mountains respect me, the gentry and rich businessmen provide for me, and the government yamen dare not touch me, even if one day I am mixed and my head is cut off, at least I should eat what I should eat, drink what I want to drink, a lot of honeysuckle, beautiful little girls have played, I am comfortable when I am alive, and I am not in vain when I die. Therefore, in this life, what people are most afraid of is suffering half-dead, and they are most afraid of being aggrieved by themselves. ”
Chang Sihao was born in a peasant family, so he naturally knew that what he said was true, and froze there speechless. The two were silent for a while, and Qin Juexiang saw that he was still holding the two knives and didn't take them back, so he said: "That's it, the Benlei knife in Qi Beishan was originally given by my grandfather, so it's okay to take it back on your behalf." The eldest brother passed me the kung fu pile method, and before I thanked him, the snow battle knife was a thank you gift from me. Chang Sihao said: "Teaching a little kung fu is nothing, but there is no need for thanks." Qin Juexiang insisted again and again, and only then did he nod and handed over the Benlei Knife, and then inserted Xue Zhan back into his waist. Qin Juexiang turned the scabbard and played a trick, and said: "Alas, although I have no intention of drinking, I still have to go to the main banquet in the flower hall! Big brother, can you come together?" Chang Sihao shook his head: "Forget it, I'm tired, you should rest as soon as possible, and besides, the matter of Dongchang can't be rushed, it's best to tell Ma Mingshao not to make a noise, the less people know about it, the better, as for how to deal with them, let's talk about it tomorrow." Qin Juexiang smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll lead the big wolves and the little wolves to eat meat!" waved his hand and went away.
Chang Sihao returned to the North Cross Courtyard, Ah Yao was still watching under the eaves, and when he saw him returning, he hurriedly greeted him. Chang Sihao said: "It's so late at night, why don't you sleep yet?"
Ah Yao gave a salute with a smile: "The slave maid will go after serving Aunt Sun." ”
When Chang Sihao heard the words Aunt Sun, Qin Ziyin's sick face immediately appeared in front of him, and he felt irritated in his heart, and said: "How many times have I said it? Don't call me Aunt Sun, don't wait for me in the future, I have hands and feet, and I don't need anyone to serve me!"
Ah Yao heard him say this coldly, his body trembled, and he took half a step back and lowered his head: "Yes." The voice was low, almost inaudible.
Chang Sihao saw her weak and pitiful appearance, and regretted it in his heart, and secretly thought: "She is a delicate maid, just because she can get rid of the sound with me and avoid being beaten and bullied, she is grateful, cares for me very much, and is extremely considerate. Hey! Chang Sihao, what kind of thing are you, after being respectful for a long time, have you really changed your sex in your heart, thinking that you are a character, and you also treat her as a subordinate with no dignity......, laughing and scolding, and shouting and drinking?" Alas, I didn't mean to scold you. ”
Ah Yao blushed, and looked sideways at the ground: "No, it's the slave and the maid who are wrong, you have told the slave and maid many times not to be called that, but the slave and the maid are always in the wind in their ears, which makes you angry, it is the slave and the maid who are wrong." ”
Chang Sihao said: "I'm not for this. ”
Yao asked, "Why is that?"
Chang Sihao sighed and thought: "I hate the power of Dongchang to cover the sky, I want to save the little boy Cheng Lian'an, revenge for Yin'er's humiliation, it is even more difficult, and it is even more difficult to find Miss Cheng in the vast sea of people." What's the use of telling you a weak girl about these things?" looked at the night sky and said lightly: "It's nothing, I'm not angry, I'm just bored." ”
Ah Yao raised his head, his eyelashes flickered, and his two big eyes blinked at him, and after a while, he saw that he didn't say anything further, knowing that he didn't want to share this sorrow after letting himself know, but it was inconvenient to ask more, and persuaded: "Brother Chang, life is in the world, bitterness and happiness are free, there are many things, if you want to change it, you can't change it, do your best, and be worthy of your heart." If you look at the teacup, if you pour water into it, it will be water, and if you pour tea into it, it will be tea, and the human heart will not be the same? ”
Chang Sihao smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that people's hearts are not like teacups, but like this sky, even if there are thousands of unwilling, all kinds of dislike, there are also dark clouds covering the sun, and when the rainstorm pours, you can't be controlled, which makes people helpless." ”
Ah Yao smiled: "Wrong, wrong! If you are happy in your heart, you will feel happy when you are drenched, and you will be happy when you see the dark clouds covering the sun." ”
Chang Sihao had a smile in his eyes: "Really?"
Ah Yao said: "Yes." You look at Liu Zongyuan, when he was in Liuzhou, he was in a bad mood, so he wrote, 'The mountain city is full of rain and flowers, and the banyan leaves are full of warblers. The poems of Lu You make people feel depressed when they see it, and the old man Lu You's "Lie down at night and listen to the wind and rain, and the iron horse and the glacier fall into a dream!" is the same as the central song of the rain, but how passionate and generous is it? Rain is rain, there will be no difference, but how to look at it depends on people's mood. ”
Chang Sihao nodded, remembering what the old army said in the past: "If a person lives for a day, it is counted as a day, and there are many thoughts in his head, thinking about it for a hundred and eighty days, and then he can come up with a fart?" Although these words are rough, the reason is the same, although it is difficult to save orphans, take revenge, and find people, but what is the use of thinking? What is the use of worrying? Everything is as Ah Yao said, do your best.
He smiled and said, "You're right, since depression can't change the world, why don't you let yourself live a happier life? If one person is happy, the people around him will also be happy." It seems that my heart is too narrow, and I am far from being able to compare with you, and in the future, I want you to enlighten me a lot. ”
Ah Yao looked scared: "What's the matter, the heart of the slave is a small teacup, but Brother Chang's heart is thousands of miles away, very wide, not narrow at all." ”
"Thousands of miles in the sky, thousands of miles in the sky...... Hehe, is my heart really as vast as the sky?" Chang Sihao muttered, "That's a joke, but my heart is empty, nothing, a big straw bag, it's true." ”
Ah Yao said with a smile: "No, you sacrificed your life and forgot your death, and went to Datong to fight against the Tartars to protect the people, that is, you are concerned about the national danger, and the righteousness is awe-inspiring. Since there is affection and righteousness in the heart, it is naturally not empty. ”
Chang Sihao heard her mention Qin Ziyin, and felt awkward in his heart: "I've grown so big, I've never thought about eating in my mind, and I've never thought about anything else." Fan thieves and tartars are not good things, kill them and have meat to eat, just kill them! What kind of love, love, but some people don't understand, can I be regarded as affectionate to her? After learning that something happened to her, I always feel unlikely, one is that Ah Xiang has always been frivolous, and what she said may not be true, and second, I think that Ming Chengjun will not kill back and do this kind of thing. It was only when we met that I realized that it had all come true. I feel sorry for her, it's a pity, she is beautiful, she is a good person, of course it is good to marry a mother-in-law, but if time can be reversed, I would like nothing to happen with her, so that she can think about his Xiao Jinyue, and I can also go to my little son with peace of mind, everyone is safe, and no one is uncomfortable. ”
Seeing his miserable expression, Ah Yao asked lightly, "Brother Chang, did I say the wrong thing?"
Chang Sihao smiled: "No." I thought to myself: "Things are already like this, and I can't change them, and I still want to be a fart when I can't change them!" How did Ah Yao persuade me to come just now? She is a little girl who can see things so clearly, I have to cheer up even more, and I can't be depressed anymore. Thinking of this, he pretended to be solemn and said: "It turned out that I was sad, that is, I was affectionate, but now I am full of joy and happiness, and I am very affectionate?"
Ah Yao hurriedly shook his head: "No, it's not......"
Chang Sihao looked at her anxious confession, and said with a smile: "It's good if it's not." Well, there is affection and righteousness in my 'long sky', what do you have in your little teacup?"
Ah Yao's face turned red, turned sideways slightly, flattened his little mouth thought for a while, and said softly: "In my small teacup, there are raindrops." ”
Chang Sihao was surprised: "What are you doing with raindrops?"
Ah Yao smiled: "Of course it works, every time it rains, my teacup is full of raindrops, and I want to say to the clouds: 'Hey, are you ashamed? ”
Chang Sihao laughed: "Hahaha, this is a good idea, I'm afraid that Yun Cai is cheeky." ”
Ah Yao flattened his mouth, as if he was a little disappointed, seeing him smiling happily, but he didn't care anymore, looked up at the sky, and said, "It's not early, Brother Chang, I'll wait for you to rest." ”
Chang Sihao smiled: "What did you call me just now?"
"I call you Brother Chang...... Ahh
Chang Sihao smiled: "Heh, don't hide it, you have called several times just now, but you haven't realized it." ”
Ah Yao exclaimed: "How can there be!" The voice suddenly turned low again, and he lowered his head: "...... There were several voices, and I only screamed...... Alas, I forgot for a while, it's so big and not small, this, how good is this......"
Chang Sihao smiled: "I hope you keep calling like this, never realize it, only if you talk to me like this every day, I am happy." The price of calling himself a slave and a slave all day long is not annoying. ”
Ah Yao's long eyelashes flickered twice, and he said lightly: "Really?"
She raised her eyes to see Chang Sihao's gaze full of smile and affirmation, but she didn't dare to touch it, and avoided it obliquely.
