Chapter 104: Sleepless Tonight
To be honest, Zhang Wei's words really confused Wen Tingyun.
Holding his heart, he struggled back to his room, immediately closed the door, and thought carefully about Zhang Wei's words.
For many years, I have watched Yu Youwei grow step by step from an ignorant girl to a talented woman with outstanding appearance. As soon as she had time, the little girl would run to her and ask her for poetry, her eyes full of adoration and admiration.
To say that Wen Tingyun is not moved is absolutely false, and to say that he has never had evil thoughts in his heart is also false.
Fake, all fake, in fact, he has long left a place in his heart for Yu Youwei, and this position is in the softest place in his heart, as long as he thinks about it, he will show warmth and smile.
But once you are stabbed, it will be a pain to the bone, painful to the heart, and life and death depend on each other.
"Heyβββ, am I doing it right or wrong?" Wen Tingyun, who was lying on the bed, silently asked herself, "Am I doing it for her or hurting her?" β
The moonlight was like water, sprinkling the clear light in the room of Wen Tingyun Thatched Cottage, cold, gently, like water slowly blowing.
It was already the second half of the night, but Wen Tingyun couldn't sleep at all, he got up and put on his clothes and came to the courtyard, and unconsciously came to the pavilion.
There are three stone benches here, of which the one facing the gate is where he often sits, opposite is the stone bench where Yu Youwei often sits, and the other stone bench is reserved for guests.
Wen Tingyun came to Yu Youwei often sat in front of the stone bench, brushed the dust off the stone bench with her sleeve, and then gently stroked the stone bench, cold, cool, like a girl's face, "Youwei, I don't know if I did it right or wrong." If you really do something wrong, you can scold me, so that the teacher can feel more comfortable. β
Then Wen Tingyun sat down on the stone bench where Yu Youwei often sits, and he could feel the warmth on this stone bench.
These days, Wen Tingyun can feel Yu Youwei's coldness towards her, and her surprised expression when he talks about finding a good family for Yu Youwei.
Yu Youwei told him that she was willing to follow the teacher all her life, and be a servant and a maid, and when she said this, Yu Youwei cried, crying really sad.
Wen Tingyun is not a fool, not ruthless, and not inhumane. He is very clear about his situation, a middle-aged and elderly man, if he wants an official position, he wants an official position, he wants a status without status, he wants money without money, and he has never had a quality of life. How can such a good woman be allowed to suffer with him?
"I'm doing this for your own good! The teacher can't marry you in this life, and the teacher will be an upright person in the next life and marry you. Unknowingly, Wen Tingyun actually spoke up.
His nose was itchy, his eyes were sour, and when he touched it, two lines of tears ran down his black and red face.
Ever since he wanted to find someone for Yu Youwei, Yu Youwei was always cold and obedient when he saw him, he accepted everything Yu Youwei said, and overnight the child seemed to have changed, became unrecognizable, became silent, and no longer talked and laughed in front of him like before.
Wen Tingyun knew that Yu Youwei was disappointed in herself, and even discouraged, no matter who he said, Yu Youwei was silent.
It was already the second half of the night, and Wen Tingyun sat silently in the courtyard and couldn't bear to leave.
Zhang Wei also didn't sleep that night.
When he returned to the post house from Wen Tingyun's "Duling Thatched Cottage", it was already dark, and Zhang Zhifang and Shi Xiong were still waiting for him.
"Oh, Brother Zhang Wei, I've been waiting for you as a brother?" After seeing Zhang Wei, Zhang Zhifang said happily. Shi Xiong also looked at him with a smile on his face.
"What's the matter?" Zhang Wei replied listlessly.
"Brother, don't you seem happy?" Seeing Zhang Wei's listless look, Zhang Zhifang said teasingly.
"Heyβββ" Zhang Wei sighed and sat on the couch, then raised his head to look at Zhang Zhifang and Shi Xiong, "Zhang Wei is fine, I don't know what the general is waiting for me?" β
"Hahaha, hahaha, brother! This time, Brother Wei solved all your problems in Chang'an. Let's go, come with me, the door will be closed later. After that, Zhang Zhifang and Shi Xiong picked up Zhang Wei and walked outside the post station.
Seeing that Zhang Zhifang was so excited, Zhang Wei had no choice but to follow him out of the post station, and the post station frame was ready. Getting in the car, Zhang Zhifang and his entourage came to a house not far from the south gate.
"It's hereβ" Zhang Zhifang jumped out of the car and said to Zhang Wei: "Go in with Brother Sui and have a look." β
The yard is not big, and a few people are busy.
"Zhang Gongzi is here, have you prepared all the wine and food?" Zhang Zhifang said to a few subordinates.
"Back to the general's words, it's ready, is this on?" The servant asked.
"Deliver to the hall." Zhang Zhifang instructed his subordinates.
After a few people sat down in the hall, Zhang Wei asked Zhang Zhifang, "General Zhang, I don't know whose mansion this is?" β
Zhang Zhifang smiled but didn't answer, "Just eat, let's talk while eating." β
To be honest, Zhang Wei was really hungry at this time.
In Wen Tingyun's thatched cottage, he was so angry that he didn't care about eating at all, and it was already night, and he felt a little hungry.
The wine is Chang'an's famous tartar frozen spring, and the dishes are also carefully prepared, with meat and vegetarian combinations, color, flavor, and flavor.
After the wine and food were served, Zhang Zhifang said to his subordinates, "Fill everyone with wine." β
"Noβββ"
The subordinate poured wine, and Zhang Zhifang said to Zhang Wei: "Brother Zhang Wei, for more than half a year, you have made indelible contributions to Youzhou, and you and the people of Youzhou have remembered it in your heart. Brother Wei's original intention really didn't want you to leave Youzhou, but I also know that you are a tiger in the mountains and a dragon in the water, and you are not a talent that we can keep in a small place in Youzhou. After discussing with the Jiedu Envoy, I decided to buy you a house in Chang'an, which can be regarded as your return for your contribution to my Youzhou. After Xianjie, you will stay in Chang'an and don't go back to Youzhou with us. β
Yes?
Zhang Wei was stunned.
If I don't go back to Youzhou, what am I going to do in Chang'an?
"I was originally the Captain of Guoyi in Youzhou, if I don't go back to Youzhou, what will I do in Chang'an?" Zhang Wei couldn't help asking.
If there is no job, there is no salary, why should I live in Chang'an without a salary? Don't you know the story of "It's not easy to live in Chang'an for a long time"?
Even if you have a house in Chang'an, the house can't be used for food and drink!
Zhang Wei knows that there is such a thing as empty salary in today's society, and he still doesn't know if there is such a thing in the Tang Dynasty, if there is no such thing, will he still wander in Chang'an?
"Hahaha, hahaha, Brother Zhang Wei is really joking, I don't know who you are? You are not only General Zuo Xiaowei's personal soldiers, but also the staff of the Prime Minister's Mansion today, and you are the guest of His Royal Highness King Yun. Zhang Zhifang smiled heartily.
Zhang Wei knew that what Zhang Zhifang said was true, but he had already left Zuo Xiaowei, and the position of his own soldiers had long been unknown to who occupied it.
As for the staff on the Linghu Mansion, this position is originally a fictitious, and people can still play a role, once the person leaves, who else will be the staff?
As for the guests of His Royal Highness King Yun, this is not to mention. What does it mean to be a guest, isn't it sitting under someone's roof to eat and drink for nothing?
Whether it is a soldier, a staff member, or a guest, none of them are real positions, and none of them can pay him.
Only the role of Lieutenant Guo Yi is a real position, a position that can pay military salaries, and now he has to leave this real position and stay in Chang'an alone.
What should I do in the future?
