Chapter 111: The First Beauty
Supplement for the second update on July 16)
After Song Zheng was admitted to Xiucai, his father Song Jue was overjoyed. Before the Xiucai exam, in order to avoid suspicion, Song Jue even gave the right to ask questions to Yu Huawen, so Song Zheng's results were very real.
On the evening of June 25, Song Jue summoned his son to the backyard, put a table of wine, and sat opposite each other. Only the Zhu family was left to serve, and Xiaoping, Ming'er and Song Xiaosi were all driven to the front yard. Song Jue, who has never liked to drink, has asked people to buy a jar of wine, and the two of them have each poured a big bowl.
Although Song Jue is very knowledgeable, and he talks endlessly about Confucianism, he really wants to talk to his son, but he doesn't know how to say it. He picked up the wine bowl and glanced at Song Zheng, "Zheng'er, you did well in the exam this time." I read your volume, and it hit the nail on the head, and the head of the argument is the Tao. It's really good, I'll make an exception today and let you drink a bowl too. Then, Song Jue shook the wine bowl, opened his mouth and drank half of the bowl, but his face was red and he couldn't stop coughing. Zhu hurriedly stepped forward and patted him on the back.
Song Zheng raised the wine bowl forward and drank it all. He wiped his lips, looking not very pleasant. In fact, as a master thief, wine is the enemy. After drinking, the person's thinking will be a little sluggish, and the touch of the fingers will not be very sensitive. Not only that, but long-term drinking is easy to cause alcohol dependence, in that case, even in a normal state, there will be a slight shaking of the hand, which is even more allowed. However, Song Zheng discovered an important benefit of drinking alcohol two months ago.
On that day, he was happily reading history, and suddenly on a whim, he wanted to taste the wine of this era, so he secretly asked Song Xiaosi to go out and buy a jar. That night, he drank a bowl, and when he went to bed, he practiced the "Spring Yang Spectrum" as usual, and to his surprise, his vitality speed was actually slightly accelerated, although it was not like the legendary "Six Veins Divine Sword" to force the wine out, but it could quickly consume the wine. Wine is like a catalyst that makes the vitality accumulate in the dantian faster, and the wine itself also becomes a kind of energy in the process of urging the vitality to operate, and after completing the mission, it turns into turbid qi and is discharged from the mouth.
Since then, he has continued to ask Song Xiaosi to buy wine, and sometimes even goes to Lu Hengshan to order some good wine to drink. Anyway, this guy is quite wealthy, and he still has some money for wine. Although there are many benefits of alcohol, there is also a limit to what it can bear. If you drink too much alcohol all at once, causing your mind to be paralyzed and your thinking is not clear, it will become a dangerous thing to run "Chunyang Spectrum". Because each meridian line of this kind of exercise is required to be extremely accurate, if there is a mistake, it is easy to cause madness, damage to the meridians, and even lose one's life.
However, at the moment, such a bowl of wine is just a drizzle, and it is still far from being unclear, so Song Zheng stood up, filled both bowls, and poured another bowl for Zhu's family, thanking his parents for their teaching.
After drinking two bowls of wine, Song Jue also opened the conversation, probably because of the depression he had encountered at the beginning, and the comfort of retribution now, as well as his hope for Song Zheng. Zhu talked about some interesting stories about Song Zheng when he was a child. The family is also happy.
Since it is a benchmark of Confucianism, the topic is inseparable from Confucius, Mencius and others. However, unlike in the past, Song Jue's words were less preachy, but a little more exploration of life, and began to pay attention to "timeliness", that is, to keep pace with the times. "You can go fast, you can go for a long time, you can get around, you can be a master, and Confucius is too." This sentence of Mencius made Song Jue repeat it several times.
Song Zheng secretly thought that since his cheap father came to Mizhou, he has grown a lot of strength in terms of human accidents, although he is not tactful, but it is not a big problem to deal with the big picture. Although it is still old-fashioned, there is a touch of humanity in his knowledge, which is precious.
In the end, to Song Zheng's great joy, Song Jue gloriously announced that his son could let go of anything in the future, except for the two things of taking relatives and being admitted to the Jinshi, other Song Jue and Zhu no longer cared. Since Song Zheng left Songjiazhuang, what he did has been completely out of Song Jue's cognition, and after many things, Song Jue has understood that his son's fate is not something he can control.
Song Jue's words made Song Zheng experience a warmth that he had never felt before.
Many times, Song Zheng feels like a lonely forwarder. It's not that he deliberately closes himself, but that his soul fits into this era. However, nearly three years of perseverance have allowed him to slowly integrate into this era. From Qian Youcai to Yao Changqing, Lao Qi and others, although he saw the evil of human nature, but Old Man Gao's self-sacrifice, Ming'er's perseverance, Lu Yan's kindness and the warmth brought by this family have all made him think about problems constantly changing, he is no longer just for himself, but includes these people around him who shine with the beauty of human nature.
After Song Zheng and Zhu carried the drunk Song Jue to bed, they returned to their room. Although he drank more than three-quarters of the jar of wine just now, Song Zheng was still not addicted, he took out the jar from under the bed, poured the whole jar down, and fell asleep. This night, he neither practiced nor dreamed, it was the sweetest night he had in three years!
On this night, Ming'er came to his room several times and put her hand on his face. As Song Zheng's closest person in fact, Ming'er cooperated closely with him, whether it was from the initial killing of the thirteenth in the dark eagle, or cooperating to kill the seventh, the two had such a tacit understanding. However, the closer Ming'er and Song Zheng got, the more they felt that this "master" was unfathomable. Not only that, in the heart of this Song Xiaogongzi, there seems to be an independent world, and the existence of this world makes him look different, but also makes him seem extremely lonely. Ming'er doesn't know, and she doesn't have confidence, whether she can become a person in this small world. The only thing she wants to do is to keep getting closer and fit in in the process of revenge.
This night, it was Lu Yan who learned that Song Zheng won the first place in Xiucai. Miss Lu's thoughts are not so complicated: this little villain has fallen for Xiucai, and there must be more and more people proposing to his house, I wonder if there is the No. 1 beauty in Michigan? Speaking of which, this little villain is really hateful, that day he used the second beauty of Michigan to coax himself, but he didn't say who the No. 1 beauty of Michigan was, so he asked many people, and he didn't hear who was recognized as the first beauty. It seems that this beauty ranking should be what this little villain thinks! It's just that I don't know whose young lady is actually in front of me.
For more than two months, Lu Yan has been finding out who the first beauty in Mizhou is. However, the next night, when Lu Yan finally learned who the first beauty was, she was so angry that she almost fainted. (Ask for flowers and collection)
