Zhang Rang said goodbye to He Jin with a smile, and took Zhao Zhong and Zhao Yan brothers, as well as his fake son Zhang Feng back to the hall, at this time, Zhang Fengcai flattered and said: "Father really repays grievances with virtue, and his heart is like the sea, and the child admires it very much." ”

"Hmph, Feng'er thinks that being a father is revenge with virtue?" Zhang Rang smiled disdainfully: "The ancestor did say that he would repay his grievances with virtue, but his father thought that this meant that he was afraid that the dog would jump off the wall in a hurry!" The ancestor also said that if we want to repay our grievances with virtue, then what should we use to repay virtue? ”

"Father is clever!"

"Okay, don't flatter, Feng'er, don't always read some medical classics, the ancestors' scriptures have been passed down to the present, and naturally there is a meaning for him to pass them down, since Ma Yue came to Luoyang, his father has been observing him, thinking about how to use him! But he never found his weakness. Zhang Rang sat on the stool, wiped the corners of his mouth with a silk cloth and said: "When the old man was young, he was fortunate to work with Wang Lao Changshi, and he taught many principles of life. His old man's explanation impressed his father, saying, 'As long as you are human, you have weaknesses, and even if you are a hero, you also have weaknesses.' By observing and grasping their weaknesses, you will be able to harness them into doing things for you willingly. ”

Wang Lao Chang served, and Zhang Rang was referring to the late eunuch Wang Fu.

With a reminiscent expression, Zhang Rang said slowly: "Let's take their Liangzhou people as an analogy, Liangzhou Taiwei Duan Ying, a heroic hero, the Qiang people who have been in chaos for decades make him afraid once, and he didn't dare to make trouble until he died." Such a powerful person was turned around by his old man, pointing where to fight. From Ma Yue to Luoyang, his father thought, he is also a sharp and good knife, what is his weakness, he has been observed for three years for his father, he is a very good gentleman, Feng'er, don't laugh, although he killed a Qiang king before he came from Liangzhou, but the murderer of his wife should be killed! He's a bit brute, but he's definitely a good guy, a gentleman. ”

"He is not greedy for money, and unlike Bao Hong, he can embezzle millions of military funds as a captain. He is not lustful, and he has never married a wife until now, and he has never heard of robbing ** women like Cao Mengde and Yuan Benchu. It's not good to drink, he drank a total of ten five tonight, please drink three times for each of the five of us, and after the wine banquet, don't shake your tongue and don't beat your knot. Even if he doesn't ask for an official, he can send a teacher and Cai Yong's daughter, so that he can throw aside the great work he has just made and change his white body. Tell me, is he a gentleman? Don't laugh when the Father says! ”

Zhang Rang was a little anxious, his face turned cold, Zhang Feng hurriedly became serious, nodded yes, Zhang Rang said: "This Ma Yue, maybe you think he is stupid, why don't you take it if you have money?" Why don't you do it? Why don't you drink wine if you have it? What do the people of the world do to us laymen? He is so self-denying, not only do you think he is stupid, but his father also thinks he is stupid, but his stupidity does not prevent his father from respecting him. Feng'er, you have to remember that in these days, it is not easy to be a smart person who is scolded like your father, but it is even more difficult to be a fool who is respected like Ma Yue! ”

Zhang Feng nodded in agreement and asked, "Father, then you said, does this Ma Yue have no weaknesses?" The child thinks that he is seeking an official, otherwise why did he go to Wanjintang yesterday to buy an official. ”

"No, he is not an official, and he is also a human being, and he has weaknesses." Zhang Rang smiled incomprehensibly, "His weakness is because he is a good person, he is upright and will ask for the people's life and is not afraid of offending his father, he knows how to repay his kindness, so he came to the banquet today, he feels guilty, he must make up for it, he is not willing to owe us, this is his weakness!" The more he doesn't want to owe us, the more we have to make him owe! ”

"But Father. We just let him owe favors, what's the use? Zhang Feng frowned and asked, "He is upright and won't do things for us." Then we have been making him owe, how much do we owe? ”

"Hehe, silly boy, have you ever done anything bad for your father?" Zhang Rang smiled, "Even if he doesn't do things for us, he always works against us, what can he do?" Your Majesty likes him and is kind to him, if you make your father stumble, it will make Your Majesty dislike, but you think, if he has been saying bad things about his father and many of your uncles from His Majesty, what about us, we will always say good things about him in His Majesty's ears. Even if what he Ma Yue said is true and good, will His Majesty believe it? Even if Your Majesty believes it, will you read him? Your Majesty will think that he is too serious, in the eyes of His Majesty he has become a boring big man, if he wants to oppose us, we don't have to say anything but good things, he will only have one end, Your Majesty doesn't like it, that is a waste who can only dance with knives and guns. ”

"Slander can kill people, but can't flattery kill people?" Speaking of this, Zhang Rang squinted his eyes, his upper eyelids and drooping eye bags were squeezed together, and he smiled kindly: "Your Majesty will think that we are very upright." ”

"Father is amazing." Zhang Feng was stunned when he listened, he is a person who is good at flattery, and he is happy to serve Zhang Rang, otherwise why would Zhang Rang recognize him as a fake, he relied on this flattery to get today's glory and wealth, but he really felt that he didn't lose at all, look at this godfather, it's too powerful! Zhang Feng stretched out his thumb and couldn't speak, "Father, you are really amazing, the child can have the opportunity to serve you, it is really a blessing that has been cultivated for eight lifetimes!" ”

"For my father, these are just picking up people's teeth, this is Luoyang, my father was sold to the palace as a slave at the age of thirteen, Ma Yue's little city is still very tender! Feng'er, you have to read more books, only by reading more can you understand more truths, in fact, these things are all tired of our ancestors. ”

Zhang Rang shook his head and said: "In this life for my father, enjoy glory and fight for wealth, it is to teach the old man to die tomorrow, and the old man has no regrets." The only thing that I can't worry about is that if the old man goes, what will the old man do with this stupid child. ”

Zhang Feng said with a smile: "Father, what do you say, as long as you are here, the child will be fine, you are in such good health, you will definitely live a long life." ”

"No matter how good my father's health is, he is now over half a hundred years old, and he can't resist the years after all. One day you will leave and return to the West, and then you will be the father of this mansion, the money of the treasury, the slaves and miscellaneous servants, and even the infamy of your father. But there are many things that a father cannot give you. ”

"The connections of the father over the years will disappear with the death of the father, although you have no blood relationship with the father, but the father will treat you as a parent, and everything in the future will be left to you, and the father will not give you all the wisdom, nor can you give your majesty's favor. It's up to you to fight for it in the future, and you may not understand many of the things that your Father is telling you now, so it's okay if you don't understand. Zhang Rang pointed to Zhang Feng's temple and said kindly: "Remember here, maybe when you are forty years old, you will understand, fifty years old, and it is not too late." You just need to remember one thing, Feng'er, you don't have the talent of smart people, so you have to take advantage of those smart people, and stay away from them if you don't need them. ”

"As for people like Ma Yue, it's good, it's too upright, it is estimated that he will not die as a father." Zhang Rang shook his head, a little regretful and a little mocking, "If your father is gone, if you meet someone like him again and be friends with him, you will give him whatever you have." He knows how to repay his kindness, which is usually useless, but once you are in danger, such a person is often the one who saves your life. ”

Zhang Feng nodded, his eyes were a little red, he followed Zhang Rang's ass at the age of fifteen to do things, and ten years have passed in a flash, from a servant to a fake, he knows that Zhang Rang is really good to him.

At this time, there was a neighing of horses at the door, and a servant came in and knelt down in the hall and said to Zhang Rang: "Report to the Hou Ye, someone outside sent five good horses, saying that they were sent by the master craftsman of the Liang Mansion in the city." ”

"Good horse?" Zhang Rang asked, "How good?" ”

"Back to the Hou Ye, it is all Xianbei war horses, black manes of a water, and the saddle bridle and luan bells are all Seiko. The shoulders are one person high, and the legs and neck are thicker than the arms of the villain, so strong that two people can drag one to the stable! ”

"Haha, it's indeed a good horse, a good horse!" Zhang Rangle laughed heartily, pointed to the door and smiled at Zhang Feng: "Feng'er, look, for the father, he said that he would not suffer, you see, this meal is earned back!" ”
