"I heard, this Ah Q has developed recently?" On this day, while having breakfast, Mrs. Zhao suddenly mentioned it.

Zhao Xiucai nodded and replied, "Well, it is indeed developed." In the past few days, he has been living in the upper room of the hotel, and he not only eats and eats big meat by himself every day, but also often takes Wang Lehu and Xiao D, two guys, to eat and drink, and even sends a lot of good things to the old man of Tugu Temple and the old nun of the retreat hermitage. ”

"Also, it is said that he lit the oil lamp until midnight every day, which was a waste." Mrs. Zhao interjected and accused, but everyone could see that her face was full of envy, because although the Zhao family was generous, it was not allowed to hold the lamp at night without major events. (The lamp can only be lit when Zhao Xiucai was preparing for the exam and when Ah Q came to work for a short time.) ）

"Did he say how he got rich?" Mrs. Zhao asked.

Zhao Xiucai thought about it for a while, then shook his head and replied: "I haven't heard him say this in detail, but it seems to be related to foreigners." ”

"Then let him come over and ask him." Mrs. Zhao commanded casually.

"Huh? Let me invite him to our house? Isn't that a bit of a lift for him? Zhao Xiucai muttered with some dissatisfaction.

Mrs. Zhao said disapprovingly: "You have said it, he is now developed, then you can consider giving him some face, but you can't invite him, just let Si Chen go." ”

Then he added: "By the way, by the way, let the kid of the Qian family come over too, hasn't he entered the foreign school?" Let him see if Ah Q really knows foreigners. (Referring to fake foreign devils.) ）

When Zhao Sichen came to the hotel, he saw that Tang Ning was eating wine with Wang Lehu and Xiao D, originally he wanted to go up and pat Tang Ning as he had done in the past, and then tell him that Mrs. Zhao was looking for him, but I don't know why, as soon as he saw Tang Ning, who was wearing a new dress and a new hat and sitting in the first place with his head held high, he was a little afraid to do so.

So he leaned over and said to Tang Ning: "Ah Q, the master has something to look for you, so let you go to the mansion with me now." ”

Unexpectedly, Tang Ning not only didn't get up, but didn't even answer a word, but just gave Wang Lehu a look, and Wang Lehu immediately slapped the table and shouted: "Zhao Sichen, how do you speak?" Mr. Gui's name, that's what you can call as well? Apologize quickly! ”

Although Zhao Sichen also heard about it, and now Ah Q makes people call him Mr. Gui, but he didn't expect that he would dare not to give himself face, and he didn't want to think about it, he was the Zhao family!

So he ignored the urging and said, "Ah Q, hurry up, don't let the grandfather wait in a hurry." ”

Tang Ning snorted disdainfully and said, "Since he is in a hurry, let him come to see me!" ”

"Hey, you're really crazy now that you have two money, and you don't look at what you are, you dare to ask the grandfather to come over to see you?" Zhao Sichen shouted angrily.

"Hmph, even the lord in the city has to be polite when he sees me, what's the matter, is his Zhao family more noble than the Bai family now?" Downing asked rhetorically.

Tang Ning said that the old man's surname is Bai, because there is only such a person in the whole city, so within a radius of a hundred miles, that is a first-class big man, although Mrs. Zhao is very domineering in Weizhuang, but there is no comparison with others at all, so when he heard him say this, Zhao Sichen's heart was a little panicked, and then he thought that before he came, the master did order him to invite Ah Q, is this guy really developed now?

Thinking of this, Zhao Sichen had to bow his head helplessly and apologize: "I'm sorry, Mr. Gui, please come with me to the house, the master has something to ask you." ”

"Eh, that's pretty much it!" Tang Ning said smoothly, in fact, he just wanted to make things difficult, but he didn't really want to go, because his main quest definitely had a lot to do with the Zhao family, so he had long wanted to find an opportunity to meet the Zhao family.

This time, his main task is to "find out the mystery of Ah Q's life experience", and in his opinion, Ah Q should be surnamed Zhao. Because when Zhao Xiucai was admitted to Xiucai before, "When he reported to the village with the sound of gongs and boring, Ah Q drank two bowls of rice wine, and said that this was also very glorious for him, because he and Mrs. Zhao were originally from their own family, and he was three generations older than Xiucai." ”

As a result, the next day, he was called to Mrs. Zhao by the local security, and then the classic quotation appeared: "You are also worthy of the surname Zhao?" ”

It can be seen from here that Ah Q vaguely remembers that his surname is Zhao, but this consciousness is not clear, maybe it has been too long, or it may have a huge psychological pain and is depressed; It was only after drinking more wine that he "danced" to show off that "he and Mrs. Zhao turned out to be their own family" and "very glorious".

As the saying goes, if you spit out the truth after drinking, the "truth" is that the subconscious that has accumulated in Ah Q's psychology has come out. As for Mrs. Zhao, he is the most powerful gentleman in Weizhuang, compared to Ah Q, he is simply heaven and earth, and he should not compete with a lowly grass people, but he took the initiative to call someone to find Ah Q, and he was furious, "his face was full of Zhu", especially the sentence "How can I have a family like you?" The subtext behind his vehemently denied tone is intriguing.

Looking at these performances from the perspective of others, you will probably think that Mrs. Zhao is making a fuss and losing his identity; From a psychological point of view, this is a psychological mechanism of self-defense at work, and it is also a reaction to a mental illness - anxiety disorder. Why, then, would he be anxious about the surname of a pariah who had nothing to do with him? In Tang Ning's opinion, it is largely because he and Ah Q are actually their own family, but he doesn't want to admit it. Of course, this is just Tang Ning's speculation, and it still needs to be confirmed with Mrs. Zhao.

When he arrived at Mrs. Zhao's house, Tang Ning found that the standard of receiving him today was quite high, not only all the masters of the Zhao family, including Mrs. Zhao, Zhao Xiucai and Mrs. Zhao, but even the fake foreign devils of the Qian family.

So Tang Ning politely arched his hand and asked straight to the point: "Master, are you looking for me?" ”

"Ah Q, I heard that you made a fortune in the city, which is good, very good." Mrs. Zhao looked at Tang Ning while talking, and found that although the person in front of him had the same figure and even the leprosy scar on his head as Ah Q in his memory, the usual cringe and humble temperament on his body was gone, it seems that this is indeed developed, otherwise this dress is easy to change, but the temperament is not easy to change.

Because of this view, Mrs. Zhao asked more politely: "Ah Q, can you tell us how you developed?" ”
