21. The Covenant of Seven Years

Jiang Shuiyuan sat up slightly straight in his chair, his tone was still calm, but his eyes were sharp: "Since General Pu can even gather the news that I may be escorted in the second half of the year, I think I should know how disgusted I am with soldiers, right?"

Pu Keshang didn't think it was wrong, but smiled: "Hehe, I know a little bit." Isn't there a little more disgust with the military now?"

"Do you know why I hate soldiers?" Jiang Shuiyuan immediately replied to himself, "Just because they are too arrogant and too self-righteous! Everything is centered on their own judgment, and they hope that everyone will unconditionally obey their instructions, not listen to explanations, whether they are right or wrong, and resort to violent means at the slightest question." It's a bit like those street gangsters, who only believe in their own crooked reasoning and fists in their hands, and reason and civilization can't restrain them at all. People say 'soldiers' and 'soldiers', just because soldiers are as lawless and lawless as local ruffians!"

Pu Keshang's face suddenly darkened.

Jiang Shuiyuan ignored it and continued: "General Pu has just listed three strong reasons to demonstrate how inappropriate Pu Xiaoxiang and I are, and I feel that for the sake of the future, for the sake of friendship, and for the sake of the two families, we should be strangers, and it is best to never see each other. It sounds reasonable, but the first thing I want to make clear is that Pu Xiaoxiang and I are just ordinary friends. Maybe because the two of us are classmates at the front and back tables, plus there are some common activities after class, we usually have more contact, but there is no inappropriate behavior. I'm afraid that General Pu's worries are unfounded!"

Pu Keshang said with a straight face: "It's better if it doesn't matter!"

Jiang Shuiyuan nodded in agreement: "I want to say so much before General Pu wants to do so, in order to prevent the slightest problem and prevent it from happening." However, as a junior, I have a few questions for General Pu. You say that it is very dangerous for boys to be smart and good-looking, and girls should choose boys with stupid heads, ordinary appearance, and honest personalities. If you want to say that the most handsome and intelligent man in modern times, it is none other than Mr. Sun Baixi, the father of the country. Why is there so many women who are so dangerous to marry him?"

The Sun family and their in-laws, the Zhao family, have a huge influence in the political arena, especially the Pu Keshang and the Sun family still have some twists and turns, so he naturally can't be honest, so he has to desperately put a high hat on Sun Yuanqi: "That's because Mr. Sun Baixi is mature and steady, young and old, and charming!"

"Well, Mr. Sun Baixi is indeed very charming. Jiang Shuiyuan shook his shot, and then asked, "Then why did he, as the nephew of Sun Jianai, a university scholar, and a graduate of a famous school in the United States, marry Mr. Zhao Jinghui, who was born in an ordinary peasant household? According to what General Pu just said, shouldn't he be in a household?"

Zhao Jinghui is Zhao Wanqing's aunt, and her old man is still alive, Pu Keshang doesn't dare to talk nonsense, so he can only beat him upside: "Mr. Sun Baixi and Mr. Zhao Jinghui are both outstanding figures who are not born in the world, so they can naturally follow the law." Can ordinary people compare with them?"

"Well, don't compare it to the two of them. Jiang Shuiyuan humbly accepted Pu Keshang's suggestion, "Then let's talk about General Pu's Pu family." As far as I know, General Pu, although your father has made great achievements in war, he is not outstanding among the many founding fathers, so why did General Pu marry the daughter of the famous Zhao family in the capital?

Pu Keshang was so red-faced that he couldn't speak for a long time.

Jiang Shui Yuan Gu Zi continued: "But this is also supported by sociological theories, which is commonly known as 'crowding bus theory'." There are limited seats and space on the bus, and there are so many people who want to get on the bus. When I got off the car, I squeezed up desperately, hoping that the people in the car would show the spirit of benevolence and selfless dedication and move a place for myself. Once you squeeze in, immediately start thinking about your own turf, stretch up your arms, block doors and windows, block latecomers, and shout 'stop squeezing, wait for the next trip'!"

Pu Keshang was about to interrupt the conversation, but Jiang Shuiyuan played the level of the main general who was difficult in Chinese studies, and did not give him a chance at all: "Of course, the name of 'Squeezing Bus Theory' is a bit vulgar and not very good, and in General Pu's words, it should be called 'the right door'." Thinking back to a few decades ago, most of the founding fathers were born into poor families, and few people seemed to care about 'overthrowing the imperial system' and 'equalizing land rights' in their hearts. When he turned over and became the master, and the mud on his legs had not been washed, he began to set up a 'door to the door', and immediately brandished the power stick in his hand to threaten those who broke the rules of the door and might affect the prestige of his family. General Pu, do you think this is ridiculous?"

Pu Keshang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot: "He is worthy of being the best debater in the province's difficult theory of Chinese studies, and he really has a sharp tongue!"

"This has nothing to do with the sharp tongue, I just honestly lay out the facts and reason, not like a ruffian who threatens people at every turn, that's all!" Jiang Shuiyuan didn't care about Pu Keshang's face at all, "Let's go on to talk about 'the right door'." Judging from the appearance alone, General Pu, the ancestor of your Pu family has the founding father, you married the daughter of the Zhao family in the capital, and you are also a lieutenant general, with a prominent position, and you are a few hairpin families recently, and the threshold is indeed quite high. But when it comes to the door style, I'm afraid that it may not be comparable to our Jiang family!"

Pu Keshang was furious: "You kid should tell me, what's wrong with our Pu family, how can you not compare to your Jiang family?"

Jiang Shuiyuan said: "Although our Jiang family is ordinary, my father teaches and educates diligently, my mother does business and pays taxes honestly, and the whole family abides by the law and is kind to others. And what about your Pu family, General Pu? A dignified lieutenant general on active duty, a middle-aged man with a sound mind, hiding in his study and threatening a middle school student with the power in his hands, can it be regarded as abiding by the law and being kind to others?"

"This ......"

"As I said, Pu Xiaoxiang and I are just ordinary friends. Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the two of us have any other relationship, as long as it does not violate the laws of the state and public order and good customs, it seems that General Pu should not interfere, right? General Pu, as a senior military officer on active duty of the state, according to the "Law on Officers on Active Duty," you should abide by the laws and regulations of the state in an exemplary manner, strictly discipline yourself, and strictly use your power. Abuse of public power and coercion like you, the Pu family's style can be imagined!"

Pu Keshang laughed angrily, slapped the table and stood up: "Okay, you are amazing, I can't talk about you!" But actions speak louder than words, what you say is useless, the key depends on what you do." The ancients said, 'The jade test should be burned for three days, and the material must be judged for seven years', I will give you seven years, if you study, you will just graduate from graduate school, and if you work, you should also have a small achievement. I want to see what you can look like! If you still have the face and courage to stand here in seven years, I will agree with you to associate with Xiaoxiang. Otherwise, you will take the initiative to disappear from around Xiaoxiang and never reappear. Now you go!"
