Chapter 41: The Cause
After the father and son finished discussing, Zhang Cheng was about to leave, and Zhang's father stopped Zhang Cheng and said, "Cheng'er, about the matter of Luluo, I thought about it for my father, and I still tell you." ”
After Zhang Cheng heard about Lu Luo, he stopped with a look on his face, turned to look at Zhang's father, and waited for a reply.
Father Zhang's face was very entangled, his hands clenched into fists and seemed to be a little angry, and after hesitating for a moment, he told Zhang Cheng this story.
A deep sigh of breath said: "My father was also an official when he was young, at that time, although your grandfather has been idle at home for many years, but there are still connections in the court, for his father through the scientific examination in the promotion, and the ranking is not low, and then through your grandfather's relationship in the household department to do a chief, because of the young at the time, the spring breeze is proud, I don't know the severity, offended some of the eunuchs who procured, the eunuch held a grudge and slandered me for tampering with the household registration. At that time, his father was very high-minded, and he thought that Shangguan would inevitably find out the reason for this thing out of nothing, but he knew that the eunuch secretly colluded with another principal, resulting in his father's imprisonment. ”
"When your grandfather learned the news of his father's imprisonment, he immediately fell ill and fell to the ground, and when he was at a loss, a Korean merchant found your grandfather and said that he could fish me out, but there was one condition." Speaking of this, he glanced at Zhang Cheng, and said, "At that time, there were no conditions, and your grandfather was also anxious at that time, no matter what the conditions, he agreed." A few days later, the man did have some skills and got his father out of prison. ”
"After returning home, my father was very depressed, during that period of time, I was listless all day long, depressed, and your grandfather finally couldn't afford to be sick for a long time, and he went back, and when he left, he only had two wishes, one was for the Zhang family to go out again, and the other was to repay the favor he owed at the beginning." After saying this, Zhang's father was a little excited.
After enquiring the levy, he looked out the window and said, "After your grandfather passed away, I asked around about the benefactor who rescued me from prison, but there was no news. About two years passed since this incident, and the father gradually forgot about it, until one evening, when the Korean merchant came to the door again, and the father remembered the incident again. When he was about to thank the Han businessman, the Han businessman just told his father that he could repay the favor by helping a girl, and by the way, he also brought him a salt tea business. My father agreed, and the girl was still about seven or eight years old at the time, and you often played with her when you were young.
"At first, there was nothing to do, until one day, a monk came to the door to turn into a relationship, no opinion to meet Lu Luo, and told your mother, saying that this girl is noble in life, but there is a catastrophe, if you continue to stay in Zhang's mansion will have something to restrain you, I didn't care at the time, until that day you rolled down the hillside, unconscious, your mother only remembered the grudge against Lu Luo, thinking that it was you and she brought you bad luck."
"So, don't blame your mother." walked up to Zhang Cheng, patted his shoulder, and comforted.
Zhang Cheng only understood at this time how much this cheap lady cared about herself, and maybe she had a misunderstanding of this cheap lady, but when she thought of the scene where Lu Luo was whipped that night, she was a little entangled and very conflicted in her heart.
Seeing that Zhang Cheng was silent, he said: "Have time to go back and see your mother, since you left, your mother regretted it very much, and she was depressed all day." “
After hearing this, Zhang Cheng finally nodded.
After seeing Zhang Cheng nodding, Zhang's father finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then remembered the poetry girl again, so he said, "By the way, Cheng'er, what's the matter with that poetry girl?" “
Zhang Cheng had no choice but to tell Shishi's life experience, maybe Zhang Cheng was about to become an official soon, or maybe because Zhang's father was in a good mood today, so he also agreed to the matter between him and Shishi girl. just told Zhang Cheng that men should be ambitious in all directions and not be obsessed with women.
After everything came to an end, Zhang Cheng was in a very comfortable mood, and suddenly felt that the ancient life was beautiful again.
When Zhang Cheng told Shishi that Zhang's father had agreed to the matter between them, Shishi was very excited and shed tears.
So Zhang Cheng took Shishi to play around on the bustling Yangzhou Avenue, until he saw Su Yourong being entangled by two men in a silk village on a certain street.
was really said by the poem, if Su Yourong is really in trouble, the question of whether to save or not to save may not have an answer when it does not happen, but when it happens, the answer is yes.
This is like a thing that is widely circulated in today's society and on the Internet, that is: which one should be saved first when the mother and wife fall into the water at the same time?
In fact, I can't say 100% of this answer, but at least more than 90% of men say that they must save their mothers first, and there is only one ultimate reason, that is, there is only one mother, and the wife can remarry. Maybe some women will ask why, in fact, there is no why, men with a little gratitude will answer like this, only hypocritical men will say that they will save their wives first, and such people are often the most unreliable.
In fact, smart women don't bother with this problem, after all, the question itself is wrong.
And the actual situation just proves that when the mother and wife fall into the water at the same time, it must be the one who can be saved first, regardless of whether it is his mother or wife.
Zhang Cheng quickly moved to the silk village, and saw two gorgeously dressed sons surrounding Su Yourong and pulling and pulling, while the shopkeeper was standing very indifferently. One of them, Zhang Cheng, was very familiar, so he looked at it, and then remembered that this was not Xiao Tian who was in Yichun Courtyard that day, well, no, it was Xiao Tian's brother Xiao Wen.
Zhang Cheng pulled Su Yourong back and said to him: "Brother Xiao, it's such a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here, it's really a blessing." “
Su Yourong saw that it was Zhang Cheng, his face immediately faded from surprise, and he relaxed and smiled happily.
Xiao Wen narrowed his eyes and thought about Zhang Cheng for a moment, and after a while, he remembered the person in front of him, so he smirked: "It turned out to be the famous Zhang Gongzi, why, didn't you go with my brother today?" “
Zhang Cheng was stunned when he heard this, and then replied with a smile: "Brother Ling and I also met by chance, and we just happened to be together that day." After a pause, he said, "Brother Xiao, why is this today?" “
Xiao Wen saw that Zhang Cheng seemed to know this woman, and the smile on his face was immediately contained, and he snorted coldly: "Xiao Wang just wanted her to help try on a few pieces of silk, I didn't expect this girl to be so ignorant." ”
Zhang Cheng saw that Xiao Wen had moved out of the name of the prince, and he was secretly a little worried in his heart, but when he thought that his future father-in-law would still be the secretary of the military department, he had the courage to bow to him and said: "It turned out that Brother Xiao was the little prince, but it was Meng Lang, Zhang Cheng asked the little prince for peace." ”
After Xiao Wen saw that he moved out of the name of the prince, Zhang Cheng really thought in his heart, so he smiled very proudly: "Brother Zhang doesn't need to be polite, Xiao Wang saw that this girl was beautiful and beautiful, and her body shape was standard, so I wanted her to go to this prince's mansion to tailor a few clothes, and I think Zhang Gongzi thinks so too, right." ”
Seeing this, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but despise it, in broad daylight, he used such a lame excuse to rob a beautiful woman, and his brain was either kicked by a donkey or entered the water.
So he straightened his face and said, "If this girl agrees, she has nothing to say." But now, this girl obviously doesn't agree, what is the difference between your approach and robbing people's girls in broad daylight? After a pause, he said, "And this girl's father is also an official in the court, is it possible that the little prince is so indifferent to the law of the king?" ”
Listening to the ridiculous words, Xiao Wen had already gritted his teeth in his heart, but he was powerless to refute. Originally, according to what he thought in his heart, if he moved out of the name of the prince, Zhang Cheng would be jealous, so he was guided by the situation, but he didn't think that this talented man who has been hot in recent days has such a sharp eloquence, so he had to take a deep look at Zhang Cheng, and then left after snorting coldly.
Seeing that the little prince had finally left, he breathed a sigh of air, turned around and asked Su Yourong, "Miss Su, are you okay?" ”
"Concubine, it's okay, thank you Zhang Gongzi this time." Su Yourong solemnly said a blessing to Zhang Cheng.
Zhang Cheng waved his hand and reminded kindly: "In this case, Miss Su should go back early, and there will be changes later." ”
At this time, Shishi on the side said loudly: "Childe, why don't we send Miss Su back, so that we can take care of it." “
Zhang Cheng thought about it for a while, and then said, "It's okay, I don't know if Miss Su is convenient." “
"So, it's hard work." Su Yourong also had this intention, but he was too embarrassed to speak, and now the poem is out of the way, and he is right in the middle.
Sure enough, not long after Zhang Cheng and his party left, the little prince Xiao Wen took a few people and turned back.
didn't see Zhang Cheng and the others, Xiao asked Tie Qing's face, and said to the person next to him: "Check it for me, you must find out this Zhang Cheng, hmph, it doesn't matter if you are a talented person or not, since you have offended this king, don't think about getting out of this Yangzhou City easily."
