Chapter 39 There are many twists and turns in human feelings
Most of the children of rich families are born with golden keys, which means that most of them have no worries about food and clothing, and their minds are not necessarily bent and twisted, but they are definitely not simple. They may mistake the beggars on the roadside, but they will never offend the children of the same or better families to death, and they will not show mercy only against the insoluble feud. Mu Yiya and Hua Siyan met again, and at this time, they were not as tense as yesterday.
"Sister Mu, why did you bring your subordinates to go shopping today? Could it be that she was worried about being kidnapped? Also, after all, it was the eldest lady of the Mu family. With such a big pomp, if you don't know, you still think it's the eldest lady of the Jiang family?" Hua Siyan's words were not friendly.
Mu Yiya still said indifferently: "It's not my subordinates, this is our Mu family's new guest, Xu Yongzheng." ”
"It's the young swordsman who defeated the flames and was commented by Mr. Mingshi Juji that 'no one in the world knows the king', I heard that you have ······ Yikes······" The words of the Jiang family were a little surprised, and there was a hint of admiration, there were still a few words to say, but they were cut off alive by Hua Siyan Qianqian's fine hand on the side. The "ah" that came out later was a manifestation of the pain caused by the flesh on his waist being choked by Hua Siyan.
"It's just a swordsman, how much can he do?" Hua Siyan then said disapprerovingly.
"It's not as good as a rich lady, even if you can't eat people with sharp teeth and mouth, can you still crush a lot of people to death with those fine clothes and jade food? Xu Yongzheng's arrogance was inappropriate, but even the two young ladies were offended by his words.
"You, you, you wait for me······" Hua Siyan's jade finger pointed at Xu Yongzheng and said.
Mu Yiya glanced at the not handsome man, and had to say: "Sister, let's ignore these stinky men, let's go to the shops in Feicheng to shop more, and save yourself from being disturbed by these stinky men in vain." ”
In this way, it is tantamount to giving the remaining two men a vacation, of course, Hua Siyan still has to be accompanied by the Jiang family's guards. The young master of the Jiang family was very interested in Xu Yongzheng, smiled knowingly, and led Xu Yongzheng to go elsewhere.
Along the way, the son of the Jiang family asked a lot of questions, but Xu Yongzheng answered indifferently and little, mostly some words that Xu Yongzheng was not interested in.
They didn't go far this way, and they saw a crowd of people gathered in one place, large and small, as if they were warming themselves in winter. In the crowd of people, the sound is noisy, and I don't hear the crowd talking carefully, probably only how pitiful, it won't be a liar or something like that. Jiang Chun, as the famous son-in-law of the Jiang family, obviously didn't want to miss the excitement, so he squeezed through the crowd with the escort Youzai and came to the front.
I saw a woman wearing filial piety clothes, pear blossoms with rain, wiping tears with coarse cloth sleeves from time to time, a tattered mat behind her I don't know what was wrapped, there was something black similar to blood on the mat, and then look at the wooden sign in front of her, hanging around her neck. The wooden sign itself is not big, the material is like an extremely ordinary wooden board borrowed from a private school, and the words on the wooden card are also extremely easy to understand, but anyone who has read a book for two years and listened to a few drama reviews can know it. "Selling herself to bury her father", the handwriting is obviously from the hand of a little girl, crooked, like an earthworm crawling, without any calligraphy skills.
"This word is too ugly, these days, liars don't put much effort into it. If you can't read, you might as well not write. Besides, what are you pretending to be pitiful about?" said one of them.
"You can accumulate some virtue in the next life. He was an ordinary peasant woman, and he took his sick father to join his relatives, but halfway through, his father died of illness. These words were also written down by the teacher who consulted him. ”
"Where did you get the things, how do you know so carefully, besides, you need to take care of Lao Tzu's affairs?" the man said unconvinced.
"I am the teacher who teaches, your intentions inevitably make people think too sinister, people have recently lost their father is miserable enough, and they have to sell themselves to bury their father in order to fulfill their filial piety. Mr. Teaching was furious.
"You are so kind, why don't you buy her, and say that you are a teacher, I think you are in a group. The man said.
"Isn't that person our Mr. Zhou, who teaches? Another woman said.
"It's my husband, why is my husband here?" said the child, who was called Maodan.
Mr. is a teacher, and many people in the neighborhood are neighbors, and his identity was confirmed in a short time.
So, someone in the crowd said: "Then Housheng, you are so good at talking, why don't you buy that woman, this gentleman is our teacher here, don't speculate, you really want to offend this gentleman, I see that your kid has no good fruit to eat today." ”
"That's right, you don't care if you watch a play, why scold people and liars. ”
"I see, if you think of others so sinisterly, you may not be a person who is single-minded for good. ”
In this way, the fact that the woman in the crowd had betrayed her body to bury her father was much more believable, and how could such a scene not be sympathetic?
The woman sat on her knees, crying sadly, her eyes were red, her face was pale, her lips were purple, and her voice of grief was gradually hoarse and she couldn't make a sound, but she didn't know if it was all for her father or because of her own life.
"We can't turn a blind eye to such a tragic scene. Jiang Chun whispered a word and stepped forward. He crouched down and placed a bag of silver in front of the woman, and there was a cheer from the crowd as the silver fell to the ground.
The woman looked at the money bag on the ground, bulging, and the approximate amount must have been more than she expected, she had never seen such a huge amount of silver, and her eyes fell into shock.
"This silver should be enough for you to sell yourself to bury your father. ”
"Childe, I'······ The little woman is not worth so much silver. ”
"Filial piety comes first, you are willing to sell yourself to bury your father, this filial piety alone is worth so much in my eyes. I don't need you to be a slave or a maid, you can bury your father for a good life, and you can keep the rest of the silver to live a good life. ”
"The son is very kind, and the little girl has nothing to repay, but although the little girl's family is poor, she also knows how to behave and be trustworthy. ”
"You have your rules, but a gentleman is not strong, and you must not put me in danger. Jiang Chun said.
"Take the liberty of asking the son's name and surname, so that this woman can set up an immortal tablet for you in the future. Mr. Teaching said.
"Ask the daimyo what to do, what do you want from a gentleman to cultivate himself?" Jiang Chun said very popularly.
Mr. Teaching was deeply impressed and couldn't help but take a long look.
The woman also kowtowed deeply three times, and grabbed the heavy silver with both hands, as if grasping the hand of the resurrected father, which warmed her heart, and her eyes cried with joy.
Xu Yongzheng naturally heard the dialogue clearly, and couldn't help but shake his head after looking at some unkind eyes.
Is this for good? I hope nothing happens. He thought so.
A burst of cheers broke out in the crowd, and Jiang Gongzi also waved his sleeves, took the guards, and left in a dashing manner, without taking away a piece of praise.
Xu Yongzheng waited until nightfall before leaving the hotel, if it weren't for Jiang Chun's insistence on leaving him to drink to talk about world affairs, he would probably have left long ago, but fortunately, the Jiang family's son's interest is general, Xu Yongzheng is not a person who tends to be inflammatory, and most of the performances don't know anything, so although the scene is not lively, it also makes the Jiang family's son too addicted to talking, and he shows off in front of Xu Yongzheng. In the end, Miss Hua sent someone to invite, and when the son of the Jiang family was drunk for five or six minutes, he had to leave the scene hastily.
As soon as Xu Yongzheng walked into the inn, he saw Mu Yiya sitting on a chair in the corner of the lobby, holding a book in both hands to read. Xu Yongzheng stepped forward quickly and poured warm tea to drink.
"How was it with Miss Hua today? ”
"It's just a few hundred taels of silver, although she has become a parent, but she is still the same as when she was a child, a child's heart, love to compare, there is such a naughty little guy, the fun will naturally not be less. ”
Mu Yiya glanced at Xu Yongzheng, and then said: "The Jiang family is the first-class family in Donglin, don't look at Jiang Chun's gentle personality, treat you well, that's just for ······"
Xu Yongzheng answered: "I know, for your sake." "He thinks he doesn't have that much face to be seen.
Mu Yiya laughed and said, "It's not all. There are also some of your kung fu and reputation in it, and when you interact with the children of this kind of family, you can only drink wine and eat meat, and you can't have a casual relationship. If you know how much Jiang Chun's inconspicuous outfit costs, you may be able to know the background of his family. Maybe in front of this kind of boy, a lot of things for us people can be measured by money. ”
"What about between you and Hua Siyan?"
"As long as the Hua family and the Mu family are still standing in Donglin, we must remain polite and competitive. Mu Yiya said lightly, and the book in her hand turned another page.
"How many times the price of dozens of taels of things are to fight?" Xu Yongzheng asked puzzled.
Mu Yiya looked at the tea cup in front of her, and patiently explained: "Do you really want our money so easily? We like that object so much? In fact, which object is the same for us, as long as we like it a little, we can still fight for face, we are all willing to spend money, not for anything else, but for fame." Do you hear that the faces of rich children are mostly bought with money, and they use this face to make more money. Those people who understand and are willing to flatter us are worth so much money. ”
In this way, the merchant is also responsible for making jokes. Xu Yongzheng said.
"Not only do you laugh, but there are fewer people who sell your body? It's just a matter of whether you can afford the price and whether you are willing to buy it. Mu Yiya continued.
Anyway, I can't afford it, and today the son of the Jiang family bought a woman. Xu Yongzheng's words were held in his heart and he didn't say it. He couldn't help but wave his hand and sigh: "There are too many twists and turns in this." It seems that being a businessman is not so easy. ”
Mu Yiya explained: "There are many twists and turns in the world, and if you want to get considerable benefits from it, you have to be sleek, round on the outside and square on the inside. If everything is like you, there is no way to live. The same is true for your personality, you might as well be flexible about many things, I believe it will be much more convenient. ”
After Xu Yongzheng heard this, he couldn't help but think carefully about whether he could use other means to do that. Then he shook his head, his eyes more determined. The meaning is self-evident, he doesn't need this flexibility.
Although Mu Yiya also expected it, when she saw Xu Yongzheng's performance at this moment, she couldn't help but be annoyed, threw the book on the table, and said angrily: "Elm head, you can't teach it." ”
