Chapter 188: Jiang Taigong's Past
In the middle of the night, Jiang Ziya recalled his past in a dream.
At that time, he followed the Yuan Shi Tianzun to learn the art of Jiang Ziya to learn the song down the mountain to find the song, after many years plus a few years of hard work to learn the book of war, and a variety of truths, in the end it was considered to be some results, although his talent is not high, but it is indeed the hardest working among the disciples, coupled with the nature of kindness and simplicity, so he was favored by the teacher Yuan Shi Tianzun, accepted as a disciple, and taught himself many skills and spells, and gave himself the art of war, he was grateful for the importance of his teacher, so he practiced more seriously, and worked hard to put it into practice, just apply what you have learned, don't dare to owe it, and it has continued like this, and it has been gone for many years in a flash.
Many of the same brothers and sisters, when they are happy to play, they are practicing and doing penance, and when others are traveling happily, they are still cultivating and doing penance, so they have been working hard to cultivate, and finally comprehend the essence step by step, and these essences are finally learned and put into practice. Jiang Ziya figured out one spell after another, and one truth after another, and finally cast them all.
By the time the classmates found out, Jiang Ziya had already surpassed everyone, and the classmates sincerely admired his tenacity and perseverance, admired his penance, so they also woke up, and also began to practice and cultivate, all of which was seen by Yuan Shi Tianzun in his eyes, and he also made up his mind that he would give Jiang Ziya when he had the opportunity in the future, and it can be said that everything he got was all obtained by his own efforts.
"Hard work and diligence will eventually pay off, although I can't compare to talented people, but I can get to this point, it's all because of diligence, my talent is not as good as other disciples, but hard work will eventually pay off, can it be said that God is not fair enough? No, it's just that some people don't cherish it enough. Taigongwang thought of this and slept peacefully.
It turned out that Jiang Ziya still had such a past, Ji Fa found some information about him in the middle of the night, and studied it carefully at night.
He found his old friend Song Yiren before going to the mountain to cultivate, Song Yiren has some wealth in business at the moment, but for his old friend, he is still like a relative, when he used to study, Song Yiren was his classmate, Jiang Ziya's personality was withdrawn at that time, Song Yiren was also such a person, only two people could talk, and since then they have become close friends, and they are determined to study hard together, and then after the two people left from school, one became a businessman for the sake of his family, and the other continued to study on the road, struggling to persevere, And I have never slacked off, and I have never relaxed.
"I haven't seen you come and come for many years, so drink a few glasses of wine." Song Yiren set the table very happily.
Jiang Ziya was also very happy, I didn't expect that I hadn't seen him for many years, this old classmate of mine, still remembered the friendship between the two people, and it was difficult to refuse, so I obeyed Song Yiren's arrangement, the two of them ate and drank, while talking about the recent situation, Jiang Ziya only said that for so many years, he has been studying and has never given up, and Song Yiren admires Jiang Ziya very much, and thanks him for being so sincere and studious, and then looking at his own time, he has lost so many sage articles, and he can't help sighing, Coupled with the classmates who studied together back then, there is not much left at the moment, and I sigh that both of them are old.
Then Song Yiren persuaded a few more glasses of wine, Jiang Ziya thought of this, and his heart was also touched, so he raised his glass and drank, the two of them reminisced about the past, recalled the past of the year, and the experience of the two people, and unconsciously chatted late at night, the two people found that even after so many years, they still talked happily, the friendship between the two people is still there, and they can still get along well, I have to say that it is really fortunate and destined to be good friends, even after so many years, the friendship has not changed, On the contrary, it has been stronger for a longer time, without the slightest loss.
"Brother Song, you are also old now, your temples are beginning to turn white, the voice and appearance of the past are still vivid, and the hard work of you and my classmates is still in my heart, and I drank this cup for this hard-won friendship." Jiang Ziya felt it and said.
The two of them drank the cup of wine, and then Song Yiren said: "Brother Jiang's friendship is precious, for this reason, we drank the cup in our hands together." ”
"I'm ashamed to say it, I haven't thought about it yet, but as soon as I returned to Chaoge City today, I met my old friend Brother Song." Jiang Ziya said.
"In that case, stay in my house for a while, and I'll help you find a way to make a living these days." Song Yiren said warmly.
So Jiang Ziya temporarily lived in his home, and then Jiang Ziya began to look for a job according to his current words. So Jiang Ziya first planned to join the taxi, but he was directly rejected by others, the reason is very simple, because Jiang Ziya has no reputation, and has not come back for many years, the taxes owed must be paid first, and Jiang Ziya has no reputation, such as filial piety and honesty or something, plus where is Jiang Ziya's money? So he left in a hurry, leaving there very embarrassed, temporarily cutting off the idea of being an official in the Shang country.
Then Jiang Ziya began to plan to go to the academy again, to be a teacher, no matter what, at least it is the right way, and can be a teacher, it sounds more decent, the most important thing is that it is easy to plan to marry a daughter-in-law in the future, Jiang Ziya at this time still intends to stay in Shangguo, has not moved other thoughts, and making a living is his most important thing at present, what he didn't expect is that his teachers and classmates have long been far away from home, those who are not there, those who are far away, and those who are far away, are left with him and Song Yiren, In addition, there were no private schools in the Shang Kingdom at that time, and most of them were colleges built by the government, and the recruits were also famous teachers from all over the country.
"I don't have a household registration, I'm still a homeless person, I'm already taking risks, and I don't have any reputation, can such a person teach students well?" So these official academies basically rejected Jiang Ziya, although they did not refuse in person like other business officials, but replaced it with a kind of euphemistic refusal, but Jiang Ziya applied for poetry and books, how could he not understand the meaning, so he had to give up and leave there.
In this way, Jiang Ziya touched a gray nose, and returned to Song Yiren's home in discouragement, Song Yiren saw his old friend like this, and knew that he had hit a wall, so he no longer mentioned the matter, but beckoned Jiang Ziya to eat, and called his children to the front to introduce Jiang Ziya.
Then Jiang Ziya gave them scientific names one by one, which were very appropriate and good-sounding, and the children also liked this name, and then they left.
"Knowing that my old friend is deeply knowledgeable, he will have a chance in the future, and I hope to bring these juniors with me, and I can be regarded as my old friend, I beg you." Song Yiren deliberately raised Jiang Zi's teeth.
"Oh, oh, oh, ashamed, ashamed, what's the use of reading poetry and books? Like today, I have repeatedly hit a wall, and I really can't calm down. ”
"But old friends don't worry, the knowledge of these posterity will be handed over to me, and I Jiang Ziya can teach and educate people." Jiang Ziya said.
"Hahaha, Brother Jiang lives at home with peace of mind, I also have some assets at home, and I am not afraid to add more chopsticks to you." Song Yiren said with a smile.
Song Yiren is a warm-hearted person, knowing that Ziya is nearly eighty years old and has not yet married, so he plans to open a family for him, and then start a family since ancient times, Song Yiren feels that Jiang Ziya's bad luck is because of his knowledge, but there is no one who knows hot and cold, and no one takes care of his life, which is only like this for the time being, and after starting a family, there may be a turnaround.
Song Yiren may feel that after a man starts a family, he has a responsibility, and after taking responsibility, he will be inspired to motivate himself to become stronger, and he will be on the right track from then on.
"Ziya, you haven't thought about finding a fate for so many years, you're so old, when you're old, if you don't look for it, you will be buried in the future. It's up to me, I'll pick the right one for you. Song Yiren said with a smile.
"Oops... This, this, this. Jiang Ziya saw his old friend being so kind to him, on the one hand, he was moved, but on the other hand, he was embarrassed, so he acquiesced.
So Song Yiren took matters into his own hands, for Jiang Ziya, Miss Ma, who was 68 years younger than him, proposed, Song Yiren also contributed his own money to help Jiang Ziya buy a dowry, after all this, Song Yiren told Jiang Ziya, Jiang Ziya was a little embarrassed, the age gap is so big, and he is already old, and he is penniless, and he doesn't even have a place to live, which is really not suitable for marriage.
Jiang Ziya was very ashamed, although he still wanted to get married a little bit in his heart, but he was helplessly fettered.
Song Yiren saw it, in order to help his old friend fulfill his wish.
"Oh, since ancient times, you are not old-hearted, and it will not be a problem for you to be knowledgeable and talented." Song Yiren persuaded.
In this way, Ma and Jiang Ziya became relatives and visited the church, and Song Yiren gave his two mansions to his old friend as a congratulatory gift, Jiang Ziya was very grateful, and his heart began to look forward to it.
After marriage, because Jiang Ziya couldn't show what he had learned, Ma spoke ill of Ziya, making him suffer.
"You old thing, why are you so old that you can't make money, what do you eat and drink, go out and make money." Ma often spoke ill of each other.
Jiang Ziya had no choice but to weave the basket, and when the basket was made up and sold, it was originally a knife coin, Jiang Ziya only cared about looking down and reading the book, and he didn't know that the basket was taken away, and finally his knife and coins were taken away, he didn't know it, so after he went home, he was scolded again and almost kicked out of the house.
In the end, Jiang Ziya finally opened a fortune-telling parlor, and the business was originally fine, but one day he caught the pipa spirit, Jiang Ziya killed her in order to prevent the goblin from harming people, and it happened that Bigan passed by and brought Jiang Ziya back to punish the crime.
"I'm not guilty, that person is a goblin, if I kill her, she won't harm the world." Jiang Ziya was defending all the way.
"Oh? In that case, do you dare to speak in front of the king? Bigan asked with a smile.
"Take me with you, why don't you dare?" Jiang Ziya said.
So Bigan told the king about this, and the king was dumbfounded when he heard it, he felt very magical, but he knew that Bigan had never told lies, so he wanted to see Jiang Ziya with his own eyes and see what was going on.
The king felt that this matter was strange, and said: "There are such strange things, and I have to interrogate them personally." ”
So the guards brought Jiang Ziya to the king of Xu, and he saw that Daji was also a monster incarnation, so he said directly: "King, the queen is a goblin, stay and accept him." ”
He told the queen that Daji was a monster, and the king was furious: "The demon is talking nonsense, come and burn him." ”
King Su was furious and asked his men to arrest Jiang Ziya, Ziya finally died of heart for the Shang Dynasty and King Zhou, and fled, but left a spirit talisman for Bigan before leaving.
"Hahaha, Taigong, Taigong, I can't imagine that you still have such a past." Ji Fa clapped his hands and laughed.
