Chapter 030: The Second Uncle is Here
Wu Chengen!
Is it a righteous old man?
Or is it an amiable fat old man?
Or maybe it's a skinny old showman?
Is it like an old Taoist priest living immortal?
Daozi kept fantasizing about Wu Chengen's appearance, and the answer was about to solve the mystery.
The first thing Daozi saw was a hand, that hand was thin, Daozi was startled, Xindao wasn't a skinny old Xiucai, right?
There is a reason why Daozi thinks that Wu Chengen is a skinny old showman, and the history books record that Wu Chengen was disappointed in the field, and he was only a showman when he was fifty years old, and finally he was lucky to go to Guozijian to study and became a tribute student.
After Gongsheng, he didn't take a step forward.
Gongsheng is not a tribute, there is a difference between the two, Gongsheng is just a person who studies in the country, whether he is unemployed or not, whether he is admitted or not, he is called Gongsheng; The Gongshi is different, the Gongshi is the person who lifts the person to pass the Gongyuan examination, and his rank is one level lower than that of the Jinshi.
So from this level, Wu Chengen's highest official education is Xiucai.
The feet leaked out, a pair of black cloth shoes, slender and long, Daozi's heart fluttered, his heart was broken, and he was really a thin old showman!
Seeing this, Wu Dashan hurriedly greeted him and called his cousin.
The face leaked out, the Daozi's heart was cold, the fantasy of the old man who was heroic and righteous disappeared, the amiable fat old man disappeared, the old Taoist living fairy old man disappeared, and only the old Xiucai with a thin face and a bulging stork bone remained!
At this moment, all the beautiful illusions of Daozi about Wu Chengen were shattered, and he recognized the fact that this Wu family was indeed an ordinary-looking thin literati.
Wu Chengen saw that Wu Dashan was busy saluting and calling his cousin, and the two of them were in tears when they saw each other, crying endlessly.
Looking at the two people hugging each other, Dao Zixin said, since you miss it so much, why do you have to match it yourself to see each other?
All in all, in short, you are all good-faced people.
Michiko even despised his own father.
"Nephew, Daozi, meet the second uncle" Daozi saw that the two of them were crying endlessly, which had already caused many onlookers on the street, and he coughed hurriedly and interrupted.
At this time, Wu Dashan came to his senses, and hurriedly took Wu Chengen's hand and said: "Cousin, this is your nephew, Daozi, nicknamed Ma'er."
Wu Chengen seemed to have learned some news about Daozi from Uncle Wu, looked at Daozi for a while, took out a folding fan from his sleeve and handed it to Daozi, but said to Wu Dashanren: "It's really embarrassing that I didn't bring a decent gift when I saw Xiaoma for the first time as an uncle, which made my cousin smile." ”
Wu Dashan said: "Hey, cousin, what does the family say, you can come here is the best gift for Dao'er." ”
Wu Dashan is worthy of being a battle-hardened master, and only a few words moved Wu Chengen to tears.
The onlookers pointed and pointed, and many people said that Wu Dashan was worthy of being Wu Dashan, and everyone was afraid of poor relatives, but if you look at others, even if they are rich, they still don't forget their old relatives. What is good, this is called goodness!
Yes, that's right, Wu Dashan deserves to be Wu Dashan!
Daozi listened to the private words of the neighbors and villagers around him, and suddenly felt that his father was too treacherous in his heart, and the idea of fighting his reputation was hit on his cousin.
It turned out that Wu Dashan had already spread the news of inviting his poor relative Wu Chengen into the house through some channels, so some people could immediately say anything when they saw this scene.
Wu Chengen didn't know that his cousin was calculating him, and of course he didn't know that his nephew Daozi was also calculating him.
I think he Wu Chengen has been mixed all his life, but he has become a wife, no children and no daughters, and he is so depressed that he can only sell calligraphy and painting in his old age, but just half a month ago, he didn't expect four carriages to suddenly come to his door, and then everything changed.
His home was emptied by four carriages, and even he himself went to the Wu Mansion to listen to the housekeeper of the Wu family, and this cousin was interested in buying his recompiled "Journey to the West". Is it just the price? How much do you have to figure out for yourself?
After all, my cousin is so rich!
If it was said that Wu Chengen would never have put his eyes into the eyes of money before, but now he can't, he is old, everything has been seen, what wealth and nobility can't be lewd, and what he needs now is lewdness.
Daozi doesn't know that Wu Chengen's state of mind has changed, otherwise he would have to be surprised to death, you Wu Chengen is the person who looks up to the descendants of the future, how can this be?
Daozi calculated that Wu Chengen's current age should be around seventy-eight or seventy-nine, because his father said that Wu Chengen was only about two years younger than him, and Wu Dashan was now eighty, so he was only this age.
But as a person in his seventies and eighties, looking at his appearance of eating and drinking, Daozi was suspicious, because no matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like it!
It's just that his father, who has always been extremely shrewd, can't mistake his cousin, isn't he Wu Chengen who wrote "Journey to the West"?
Daozi thought of another possibility, and hurriedly withdrew from the banquet with the help of urine, and then found Uncle Wu and asked him if he had brought over all the books or manuscripts from the second uncle's house.
Uncle Wu naturally didn't dare to forget Daozi's instructions, and hurriedly said that he turned it inside and out three times, as long as it was paper, all the things were transported. Daozi was overjoyed and asked Uncle Wu to leave, and he took Liuqi to inspect Wu Chengen's family property.
It must be Wu Chengen who wrote "Journey to the West". Michiko was careful that his liver was beating wildly. Liuqi didn't know why his little young master would be happy and disappointed, but he didn't dare to ask, after all, his little master used to have this kind of strange behavior that people couldn't guess why.
Daozi asked Liuqi to let go of the wind, ran to the room where Wu Chengen saluted, and began to search. It was four large wooden boxes, unlocked, and Daozi secretly said that God will help me.
Holding back the excitement in his heart, he slowly pushed the box open.
Inside are some broken books, Daozi looked at it, it was nothing more than the Four Books and Five Classics, and some local monsters and the like.
Daozi didn't find "Journey to the West" in the end, he was very depressed, and he was busy rummaging through the other three boxes.
The second box was torn clothes and shoes, and there was nothing to look for yourself. The third is just gold and stone antique calligraphy and painting, Daozi was stunned for a while, thinking in his heart that he would take one of these things and return to that era, and he didn't have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of his life, right?
Daozi has a reason for thinking like this, because the most worthless of these things is the small bronze incense burner of the Han Dynasty, the small incense burner of the Han Dynasty, even if he is as rich as Daozi's family, there are not a few pieces! I really don't know where this poor second uncle did it, could it be that he picked up other people's graves?
Daozi's heart is crooked.
And the last box, it's time to witness the miracle. Daozi's heart was pounding, and it slowly opened, and there were three big characters written on a thick wooden box with ancient vicissitudes: Journey to the West!
