From time to time, there are some clouds drifting through the sky, bringing some shade. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The boat occasionally stopped at the dock for a period of time along the way, some people got on and some people got off, and in the blink of an eye, on the eleventh, Ren Wei and Pei Ziyun were also familiar with each other.
Pei Ziyun has a large cabin, often takes some cold dishes, a pot of wine, a plate of peanuts, and the two sit and talk together, write poems and lyrics, or say some thoughts.
A pot of wine was placed on the small coal stove and warmed, the aroma of wine spread, Pei Ziyun took a sip and smiled: "Be cautious and alone, this scripture means that you should be cautious when you are alone." ”
Xiang Xian said: "The Mean" is cautious, and "University" is sincere, but it is necessary to work hard and not let go. ”
These words seem to be subtle and righteous, but in fact, to put it bluntly, it is very simple, people cannot be disloyal, the disloyal will die, people cannot be unfilial, the unfilial will be ruined, people cannot be unrighteous, the unrighteous everyone will look sideways, people cannot be unkind, and the unkind will often have no good death. ”
"So under these social pressures, people can't talk about great loyalty, filial piety, righteousness and benevolence, at least they have to be loyal and filial piety in order to survive. ”
"But these, are you really willing, when you are alone, no one sees it, do you still think like this?" Pei Ziyun smiled, in his previous life when he was in the company in the unit, who dared to shout at the boss that I was eating inside and out, shouting at my colleagues that I was a special friend, and shouting at my girlfriend that I was ruthless and unjust?
But on the Internet, when no one knows whether it is a dog or a cat, the natural true nature is revealed: "I am a scumbag, I am just a friend who eats inside and outside, and my friends are ruthless and unjust, can you bite me?"
This is the meaning of Jindu in modern times, he said with emotion: "The so-called Jindu, is not the slightest pressure to force you, let your true temperament be revealed, are you still loyal, filial piety, righteousness, and benevolence?"
"If you do that, it's the mean. ”
Ren Wei was stunned when he listened, these days Ren Wei has become more and more appreciative of Pei Ziyun, and feels that it is very extraordinary, and many views coincide with his own views, but now when he listens to it, he knows that at least inadvertently, Pei Ziyun is far better than himself, and he threw it away, sighing: "This statement is close to the sage, Brother Pei's scriptures are far above me, I can't be lifted, don't you either, it's really surprising." ”
Pei Ziyun didn't answer, got up and pushed the window, only to push it open, a gust of wind blew into the room, looked at the water from afar, and said: "I read Brother Ren's article, I have a little opinion, I said, Brother Ren, listen to it?"
Hearing this, Ren Wei raised his glass: "Brother Pei doesn't have to worry about me, please speak." ”
"The scriptures and scientific examinations, in addition to the use of the world, there are also scriptures, although some things are useless to read, but they are all promotion ranks, Brother Ren is quite talented, but a little stubborn, if you can break some holes, it is easy to hear. ”
Hearing this, Ren Wei was bright, stared at Pei Ziyun and said: "Brother Pei praised it falsely, Brother Pei has seen it more thoroughly than me, and he can be promoted to the top of the competition, why don't you take the test and be willing to be a showman?"
Pei Ziyun poured a glass of wine, and said for a long time: "Being an official is tiring and tiring on official duties, maybe a mistake will lead to heresy, and there will be no end, it is more in line with my nature to be at ease." ”
Ren Wei listened, picked up a peanut, chewed it, his mouth was full of fragrant, but he smiled bitterly: "Then you have to be free, if you don't have wealth, what do you talk about." ”
"Life in the world, how unsatisfactory it is, how can it be cheated in a word?" Pei Ziyun took a peanut with chopsticks and said when he was silent.
The words fell, there was silence for a while, and both of them drank and did not speak.
"Aconitum has arrived, Aconitum has arrived. The boat shook and docked, Pei Ziyun saw that Ren Wei was about to get off the boat, and followed: "Brother Ren has arrived at his hometown, you and I have a good conversation, I will send you." ”
"Thank you, Brother Pei. Ren Wei said that the two got off the boat and stepped on the dock, Ren Wei pointed and said, "My family lives not far away." ”
Out of the wharf, there is a street, however, about a hundred meters, there are not many shops on both sides, but finally there are hotels, rice shops, cloth shops, to the street corner, Ren Wei pointed to a house on the side of the river not far away and said: "That side is, the boat has been entertained by Brother Pei for a long time, and please have a meal at my home." ”
Just as he spoke, a young man hurriedly stepped forward and bumped into it, Ren Wei felt that something was wrong, stretched out his hand to grab the young man, and said, "Song'er, where are you going?"
Hearing the familiar words, he raised his head to the young man who originally lowered his head, and found that the person in front of him was his father, and tears fell for a while, and he hurriedly said: "Father, it's not good, it's not good." ”
He said it in a hurry, and he was confused all of a sudden.
Hearing Xiao'er's anxious voice, Ren Wei was flustered, and hurriedly asked: "Song'er, you are in a hurry, but something happened at home?"
"Father, you're finally back. The young man came up and hugged his father, and began to cry, saying, "Father, I am about to go to the street to find my uncle and ask for some help." ”
"Last time, my mother borrowed nine taels of silver for my eldest brother's illness, who knew that Qian Ye was ruthless and cheating, and now after a few months, he will have to pay thirty-six taels with interest. ”
"How can there be cash in the family, I came to collect the debt and said that I would take the three acres of land at home, and my mother was ready to sell the dowry, and I wanted to go to the street to find my uncle to see if I could help. ”
Hearing this, Ren Wei's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth when he thought of his talent identity and said, "Song'er, you can talk about it when I go back." ”
"Yes, father. The boy had a backbone, and the three of them went home.
When I arrived at the door of the house, I listened to the noise, a large group of people gathered at the door to watch the excitement, some people could not find a place, and they were lying on the wall to look inside.
Seeing this situation, Ren Wei's face changed, and he strode forward, and the onlookers saw that it was Ren Wei, some avoided it, and some didn't know it, saying: "It's natural to repay debts, so it's no wonder." ”
Closer, a foul smell, a lot of dung was splashed on the wall door, several big men embraced, a burly man, holding a bench, looking coldly at the mother and son in front of him.
There was another teenager inside, his face was pale, and he didn't know if he was scared or sick, and he was coughing all the time.
Pei Ziyun looked at it, a plainly dressed woman was holding jewelry and talking, the big man looked at it, and said: "Your gold and silver jewelry is at most five taels, and you are still thirty-one taels, but you can't pay off the debt, if you can't pay it back, your cattle, house deeds and land deeds will all belong to me." ”
Mrs. pleaded a little and said: "Master Qian, my jewelry is brought by my mother's family, they are all good goods, they must be worth thirty taels, I didn't lie to you, you have to believe me, I will change it tomorrow, how are you after the change, there is no cow, house, land, it is to force our mother to death." ”
The burly Qian Ye snorted coldly: "If it weren't for your family and Xiucai, I would have come to collect the money and drive you out, and now that it has been a little time, what time do you want to delay." ”
Pei Ziyun and Ren Wei just came in, and they could hear these words.
Ren Wei hurried forward and shouted: "Master Qian, you are so majestic." ”
Qian Ye was startled, stood up, looked at it carefully, and then hummed and said, "It turned out that Ren Jiaxiu came back, and your lady borrowed thirty-eight taels of silver, and I came to collect the debt." ”
When the woman saw Ren Wei coming back, her eyes lit up: "Husband." ”
Qian Ye's attitude was slightly restrained, but he still sneered: "It is natural to repay debts, and when it comes to going to the official mansion, I am also justified." Ren Xiucai, you came back just in time, pay back the money, there is nothing, don't blame us for collecting the fields and cattle. ”
"This is ten taels of silver, you take it, and I will pay you back the rest of the money later." Ren Wei took out ten taels.
Qian Ye was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Ten taels can only be calculated as interest, if you don't pay it off today, you will have to turn it up again next month." ”
Ren Wei's face turned red and asked, "How much profit?"
This man said: "Nine out of eighteen returns, doubling in a month, or for the sake of your face, I borrowed this number." ”
"Qin Xiu, is what he said true?" Ren Wei looked at his wife and asked.
The woman heard her husband's words, and her face darkened: "I was deceived by someone, I originally only borrowed nine taels, and the interest was two taels a month, and I could repay it when my husband sent the silver back, but I didn't expect the interest on the two taels of silver in a month to become twice as much in a blink of an eye." ”
Song'er, who followed, stepped forward: "Father, I also know about this, it was my mother who was trapped." ”
"Take the slip and show it to me. When Ren Wei heard this, he was angry, and stared at Qian Ye and said, Qian Ye took out a note and put it forward, Ren Wei was about to take it, Qian Ye sneered and took it back: "Xiucai, wait for you to return the silver, and then take it back, otherwise I'm afraid you will tear it up." ”
Qian Ye took ten taels of silver and was about to leave, Pei Ziyun stepped forward, stretched out a hand to stop him, and said, "Wait." ”
Qian Ye was a ruffian, and he wanted to be angry, but when he saw Pei Ziyun, he suddenly became a little upset, and swallowed the words that he scolded.
Pei Ziyun is lifting people, killing countless people, and cultivating Taoism, this is not just the so-called temperament, he stared at Qian Ye, suddenly smiled and said: "It turned out to be just thirty-eight taels of silver, what is this?"
Pei Ziyun turned his head to Ren Wei: "Brother Ren, last time you wrote me a text, I forgot to give you the money to moisten the pen, you are also a little pedantic, and you don't rush me when you encounter difficulties." ”
After speaking, he took two silver tickets and handed them over.
Ren Wei saw that it was fifty taels and one taels, a total of one hundred taels, and immediately understood that this was Pei Ziyun wanting to help himself, and was about to open his mouth to refuse, Pei Ziyun pressed his hand and patted it: "The virtuous nephew looks tired, you should pay more attention to being a father, otherwise your body bones will be broken, but how can it be good?"
Hearing this, Ren Wei's face turned red, and he was speechless for a moment, only to hear Pei Ziyun say again: "Brother Ren, I still have something to do, the boat doesn't wait for anyone, I have to go first, see you later, and have another drink." ”
After speaking, he patted Qian Ye lightly on the shoulder and smiled: "Don't be unforgiving, people are doing, the sky is watching, and retribution is just around the corner." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and left.
Ren's wife, who originally had gloomy eyes, had brilliance at this time, and the crowd of onlookers were all talking and exclaiming: "You say, Ren Xiucai is really developed, what kind of writing is worth a hundred taels of silver." ”
Pei Ziyun went out, and someone behind him trotted all the way to catch up, and when he arrived in front of Pei Ziyun, he bowed deeply: "Thank you Xie Yuangong, I Ren Wei will repay you in the future." ”
"Oh, you know it's me?" Pei Ziyun was stunned.
"I didn't know at the beginning, but we have known each other for more than ten days, you are so young, sophisticated, good at poetry, clear about the current situation, and your comments on the trough transportation, customs, and military are incisive, and you can cross the boat and sing in the middle of your talent - in this world, I am afraid that this generation, there is only Xie Yuangong. Ren Wei said.
"In fact, in terms of talent, I am very ordinary, only in some adventures, you don't have to send it far, say goodbye, and see you again in the future. Pei Ziyun smiled after speaking, and said: "You are a scholar, many things are difficult to do, just now, I have already helped you deal with it, this person is now as strong as an ox, as long as he encounters the same wine as Ren, he will die immediately, but you don't have to worry about it!"
"In fact, my move is also a misfortune, but in the world, I am not ready to enter the office, so I have to live freely. After saying this, Pei Ziyun didn't stop any longer.
Looking at his distant figure, Ren Wei was deeply moved, refused to stand up straight for a long time, and sighed wistfully: "What a rare man in the world!"
