Chapter 148: Zhou Wen!
readx;? Chapter 148
Wang Chong left under the surprised gazes of Su Zhengchen and Xiao Jianjian. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When leaving, Su Zhengchen was defeated again, and on the chess surface, the white pieces were scattered, and there was not much left, which made the brows of the big ** god wrinkle into the shape of "Sichuan".
Leaving from the Guihuai District, Wang Chong drove directly to the east of the city, and then found a few people to ask for directions. Although few people know about charcoal wine in the elite of the Tang Empire, this wine is very famous among ordinary people.
Just after a while, Wang Chong found the Zhou family.
A huge courtyard was surrounded by a fence, and on the wall, a long flagpole stood, on which a large wine flag, in black letters on a red background, read:
"Zhouji charcoal wine!"
The wine flag fluttered in the wind, and from a distance, there was a faint speckled black on the red flag, which was obviously some years old.
For so long, the owner has not changed the wine flag, and he is obviously very proud of his brand.
"Unexpectedly, this is where that man works as a hired hand!"
Half a street away, a carriage stopped, the curtains were raised, Wang Chong looked at the Zhou family wine shop through the window, and sighed in his heart.
Although I heard a lot about that man's deeds, I also knew that he used to work in a rich family. But this was the first time Wang Chong had really seen where he worked.
If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Jianjian was secretly drinking and inadvertently mentioned it when he was playing chess, Wang Chong probably wouldn't know that this was where he used to work.
"Childe, check it out. There is indeed a man named Zhou Wen here. ”
At this moment, the carriage door opened, and a guard of the Wang family walked in, looking respectful:
"I've asked other people too. All say know in this person. said that he had been in the Zhou family for many years, was born poor, and had an old mother at home. However, he is very responsible, honest, doesn't talk much, and does things in a low-key manner, but he is very diligent, and the people around him have a good impression of him. ”
Wang Chong nodded, this is completely consistent with what he knows.
Before the age of twenty-seven, Zhou Wen was actually no different from ordinary people. He lives his life diligently, he has no talent, but he can also support himself with his own hands.
The one who really changed his fate and made him the one who came to life was still the one who was still the one who was the mysterious "Evil Emperor Old Man".
It was he who single-handedly turned an ordinary person with mediocre qualifications and was unwilling to fight into a strong man who was enough to make many people look up to in later generations.
"Did you ask him when he would leave work?"
Wang Chong sat in the carriage and bowed slightly.
After asking, he went back on time to cook for her because he wanted to serve his mother. So he got up to work much earlier than the others, before five o'clock in the middle of the night, he had to get up to cook, and then run to the Zhou family's workshop to start work. When others started working, he had been working for more than two hours. ”
"So, even though he got off work early, he worked much longer than others. And he is very diligent, one person can be two or three people, so the Zhou family was happy to take him in that week. ”
The guard lowered his head and said word by word, obviously asking carefully.
In the Wang family, everyone knows that the current young master is not the previous young master. After the end of the Sifang Pavilion, there was even a rumor that in the entire Wang family, the most likely to take over the old man's position was the youngest young man in front of him.
So now, the guards have great respect for this young master, and there is nothing they dare to do with their hearts.
"Good work!"
Wang Chong nodded, then closed his eyes and waited silently.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly, the gate of the Zhou family's courtyard opened, and a long figure walked out of it.
"Hey, Zhou Wen!"
"Zhou Wen is here!"
"Are you going back to cook for Ling Tang again?"
"Haha, hurry up. We'll do it here!"
......
Outside the courtyard of the Zhou family, the voices of a group of "Zhou Wen" came and went, endlessly. Wang Chong's heart moved, he suddenly opened his eyes, looked through the window, and saw a long figure standing at the gate of the Zhou family, smiling plainly.
"It's him!"
A thought crossed Wang Chong's mind.
"Zhou Wen", who had just gotten off work, did not look very coarse, dark, and dirty as Wang Chong imagined, on the contrary, he was wearing a gray plain robe, and his whole body was very clean.
The face has also been cleaned, and the skin reveals a burst of original whiteness, not like working in a wine shop, but with a little scholarly temperament.
Moreover, Zhou Wen's figure is also very tall, more than seven feet, close to eight feet. This made him stand out from the crowd of Zhou family's hired laborers.
But despite this, Zhou Wen's simple personality and honest smile made him naturally integrate into the hired workers and wine merchants.
Wang Chong could also see that the people around him liked this big man very much.
Greeting the people around him one by one, Zhou Wen carried a package on his back, didn't think much about it, and naturally walked in the direction of home.
"Keep up with him!"
Wang Chong said.
The carriage drove slowly, following behind Zhou Wen, following unhurriedly, maintaining a distance that would not arouse people's vigilance and attention.
It was getting late, perhaps because he was worried that the old mother at home was hungry, Zhou Wen's pace was very fast. Although it is a normal pace, it is already equivalent to a lot of people trotting.
Wang Chong followed him through the streets, alleys, and alleys. Some places were too narrow for the carriage to pass through, so Wang Chong abandoned the carriage.
Although this is a little inconvenient, it is even more difficult to find when tracking.
Following him all the way, Wang Chong saw that he deliberately turned a corner, took a copper plate at the corner of the street, and put it in the bowl of a blind beggar.
At a remnant wall planted with banyan trees, Zhou Wen took out the lunch that he was reluctant to eat in the afternoon from his baggage, and fed it to a few pigeons with a smile, smiling very happily.
Wang Chong watched this scene from a distance in the rear, and sighed in his heart.
That Zhou Wen back then, he had seen it from afar once, with a rigid face and no smile on his face, just like a person who had lost his soul and lived only for a certain purpose.
Anyone who sees him can feel that this person is not happy.
For those who have seen him, it is really hard to believe that this person can laugh so happily and so simply, but so fulfilling.
Power is not the stronger the better, some people are willing to exchange everything for power, but some people are willing to exchange all their power for everything.
Wang Chong believes that if the person at the beginning saw the scene in front of him, he would definitely be willing to exchange everything for the present!
"What is this guy doing?"
"He's getting faster!
"Did he find us?"
......
Suddenly, a sound came into their ears, and the guards looked into the distance, stunned. Zhou Wen has been walking at a constant speed.
But after feeding the pigeons, he suddenly got faster and faster, and then he even started running, as if he had found something and wanted to get rid of them.
"He was delayed on the road, he just wanted to hurry back and cook for his mother. ”
Wang Chong said quietly.
"Huh?!"
The guards were stunned.
"See for yourselves. At this time, he didn't go back to cook, and her mother was going to starve. ”
Wang Chong said lightly.
The guards were stunned, and when they looked up, they found that the sky was dark and the night was dark, and before they knew it, it was almost time for dinner.
Wang Chong ignored it, shook off his steps, and followed. His cultivation far surpassed Zhou Wen, and he took steps, only faster than him, not slow.
He followed Zhou Wen all the way, through the streets and alleys, and finally Wang Chong followed Zhou Wen and saw him rush into a low, simple earthen house covered with thick white thatch.
The surroundings were dark, the house stood in the night, there were no people around more than ten feet, lonely, giving people a feeling of isolation from the whole world.
"Mother!"
"Wen'er, ahem......"
An old voice, a sickly cough, came from the cramped room. A moment later, a dim oil lamp lit up, followed by the tinkling of bells.
Wang Chong stood under a lush camphor tree and soon smelled the aroma of food.
"Mother, don't choke. ”
Zhou Wen's respectful voice came from the room, and a moment later, the window of the room opened, and a puff of oil smoke wafted out. That is, when the window opened, Wang Chong saw Zhou Wen walking out of it with two plates of side dishes.
Two pairs of chopsticks, two small bowls, and a dim oil lamp.
Wang Chong looked at Zhou Wen sitting on one side, and a thin, silver-haired old lady sitting on the other side, coughing while pouting her head and going straight to the bowl in front of Zhou Wen.
"Child, eat more, eat more......"
Looking at this scene, I don't know why, Wang Cheng suddenly felt a little sour in his nose, and he sighed in his heart, and there were some indescribable feelings.
At this moment, Wang Zheng knew what the person had lost back then.
This person has no scheming.
So there's a lot of stuff about this person that can be heard. But among all the bits and pieces, he was the only one who didn't hear him mention his mother.
This is a filial son, he can get up early and be greedy for darkness, and before dawn, he will get up and go to work on the fifth watch. He can be two people by himself, and after a tiring day, sit at the dinner table, still smiling and grinning, just because he has a mother who depends on him.
But when he became that hero and became the "him" in the future generations, all this had already been lost, and he was already alone.
A person loses the most important thing in life!
Wang Conflict remembered a rumor he had heard a long time ago, that the reason why that man's temperament had changed so much and he went on a killing spree was because his mother had been killed by a mob.
This rumor, with no origin or place, was only circulated among a few people, and was soon forgotten by those who said it.
Wang Chong himself didn't care.
But at this moment, the king suddenly understood. There is no accident, I am afraid that all of this is inseparable from the "evil emperor old man".
Such a filial son will not provoke any thugs.
The only possible ,...... It's just the "evil emperor old man" who was plotted.
Other people's "adventures" may be just disasters for others!
Thinking of this, Wang Chong couldn't help but let out a long sigh in his heart!
