Chapter 417: The Ambition of a Son-in-law (Page 1/1)

Xiao Jing can say this without shame and without changing his face.

In his previous life, although he was not from a serious academic background, he was also an experienced industry insider after becoming a monk halfway, and there was absolutely no problem in saying that "there is a teacher" or something.

The middle-aged man looked at him playfully and said: "There are a lot of strange sects and learnings in this world, and some people who have established a mountain always claim to help the world or prosper the country in one word, but it can be said that it is just for the sake of their own developed dignitaries." Righteousness or something is just a pretense, learning to become a martial artist and selling it to the emperor's family is serious.

Not to mention those small sects in the corners, even if they are Confucian students who are disciples of saints, how can they be exempt from vulgarity? The people on the list have sought fame and wealth, and the people who are not on the list either make some depressed and lamenting poems, or rely on obscene words and songs to show their talents, as if they can't highlight their literary style without this.

There are many good articles in the world, but when it comes to writing to carry the Tao, only 12 out of 10 of them are commendable. Oh, it's really interesting that your not-so-beautiful vernacular tells some truth that no one else has said. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Jing suddenly felt like a confidant. He smiled and arched his hand: "Thank you for the compliment, have you also read Xiao's newspaper?" ”

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "I've read it, that's why I said this." That's not what I want to say about newspapers, though. Why do you want to run a newspaper? Is it just to carry forward the knowledge of the teacher? I'm afraid it may not be! ”

Xiao Jing said with a smile: "The noble man has already said the answer, so why do you need to ask again?" Although there is no shortage of boastful talkers in the world, there are also people who really want to do something, share their worries for the temple, and calm the people. Although Xiao is not talented, he also has a sincere heart. ”

The middle-aged man asked persistently, "Is it really just that?" ”

Xiao Jing replied firmly: "What Xiao wants is nothing more than the stability of the world, the peace and contentment of hundreds of millions of people, nothing more. That sounds a bit silly, but there are always a few fools out of a thousand. It's not that Xiao doesn't know how to be humble, but these fools are either really stupid and paranoid, or they are the mainstays of this world, and they must not be taken lightly. ”

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "You will boast." Let me ask you, after founding the Mirror Newspaper, didn't you also gain fame and fortune? So, what's the difference between you and those who seek fame? Who knows what you think in your heart, maybe you just eat better than others? ”

Xiao Jing shook his head and said, "What the noble man said, Xiao really didn't dare to agree. Is it true that people who want to do something must be willing to be poor, and only by being happy with poverty can they gain a clean name? The kind of people you are talking about are saints, and there are fewer fools than I said before, maybe there will be two or three in a hundred years, right?

As long as it is a human being, it eats the fireworks of the world, and it is inevitable that there will be all kinds of troubles in the red dust. How can a person who can't even fill his stomach and shiver in a broken house all day long realize his ambitions? Cang Liao knows etiquette, food and clothing are enough and knows honor and disgrace, where does a person who even has his own life precarious get the motivation to help the needy?

Even if he is as virtuous as a saint, so what? There is only one person in the world who can rely on his own strength to spread education and help the world and the people, and even if others have the heart, they will only benefit one village and one town. If you go any further, you will definitely have a weak heart.

There is a saying in my hometown that with great ability comes great responsibility. A lieutenant chief can manage dozens of households, the county order and the prefect must benefit one party, and the son of heaven must have the four seas in mind and the common people in the world, which is the difference.

If Xiao only wrote some words in Puhua Town, he would have been well-known in the local area, but how could the Mirror Newspaper have today's achievements? Nowadays, not only in Gyeonggi, but also in the surrounding states and counties, you can buy mirror newspapers, and you can see the righteous words in the newspapers. One day, Xiao still wants to sell the newspaper to the most remote places in my Darui, even if it takes three months to see a copy in those places.

The more things you do, the more expensive you do. The nobles don't know that the silver spent by the newspaper every day is like flowing water. Paper, printing, transportation, editing and journalists' labor, distribution...... Which one doesn't cost anything? Over the course of the year, there are a few months of a slight surplus, a few months of breaking even, and a few months of losing money...... The final account will not lose or earn. I'm not afraid of your jokes, but when I lose money, Ichiko will use my own money to make up for it.

Without money, there would be no way to talk about this, and the newspaper would have closed its doors long ago.

Also because of lack of money, Xiao still lives in the small courtyard of Puhua Town, and occasionally lives at his father-in-law's house to eat and drink, can this also be called fame and reputation?

There is no contradiction between gold and silver wealth and the realization of ambitions, the key is to see whether people use their fame and money in a serious place. This is not difficult to understand, and I hope that you will think about it more. ”

The middle-aged man sighed.

He didn't deny that some of Xiao Jing's words were very reasonable, but he still couldn't accept this set of somewhat shocking rhetoric.

Who is this person's master, and how did he teach such a strange disciple?

Gradually, the middle-aged man's face was a little better than before. He waved his hand casually, and the old man who was standing brought a chair from the outhouse for Xiao Jing to sit down.

"If you really have such ambitions, then you still deserve praise."

After he said this, he paused deliberately, and then changed his words and said: "People often say that you have your own ambitions, but you don't know how to live at home?" ”

Xiao Jing was stunned when he heard this.

It's a bit off-topic, didn't you say you want to talk about life and ideals, why did you suddenly turn into a personal life?

In the midst of the lightning and fire, his heart suddenly moved, and he replied with a word like gold: "It's okay." ”

The middle-aged man smiled a little mysteriously and said, "You and your wife have a deep relationship, and they are a rare mandarin duck couple in the capital, and everyone knows about it, so there is no need to say it again." However, how do the people of the Xia family treat you? As a son-in-law, life is not so easy, right? ”

Xiao Jing's body tensed unconsciously, and the cold sweat that had already fallen broke out again.

After calming down his thoughts with all his might, he said: "It is good for father-in-law and mother-in-law to stay down, and Xiao is not unsatisfactory." ”

The noble person in front of me probably thinks I'm talking nonsense, right?

The ancients really formed a mindset about the identity of the son-in-law.

It's no wonder that in Xiao Jing's previous life, he could see news reports of his son-in-law brutally killing his family due to family conflicts, not to mention the ancients who looked down on their sons-in-law even more.

It's just, why did he ask about this?
