Chapter 114: Challenges are indispensable! 〈Rise up, monthly passes, my gods! 〉

Chapter 114: Challenging "Sex" is Indispensable!

The Lizheng seem to have discussed it in advance, one person has five runs, and there is neither more nor less neatness, even Liu Sanneng is inside, and the gift money of fifteen Lizheng is seventy-five. As for the businessmen who came to congratulate, there is no accurate number, there are three or five runs, there are also ten runs, and the funniest thing is that some businessmen have clearly followed the ceremony in front, and they ran to add gifts when they saw that the wedding banquet was about to end, and from the gift list, it seemed that there were not one or two cases like this.

With the support of such two large purchases, coupled with the gifts of the left near Caidong and the colleagues in the county government, the total number was raised to such a large number, in addition to the two hundred and seventeen yuan in cash, the grain and meat hangers received by the Tang family are really not old and young, these are the gifts added by the neighbors of the left village, and the farmers have no money to spare. When five liters and ten liters of grain were accumulated, half of the room was piled up.

Two hundred and seventeen yuan, about seventy or eighty thousand yuan in later generations, if you count the gifts of Zhang Xianling and others and these things, the Tang family's marriage actually made 130,000 or 40,000 yuan, and when he tacitly calculated in his heart, Tang Cheng himself was startled.

Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. This sentence popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties is really not false at all, no wonder so many people in the past dynasties want to be officials, and the money is too fast, and they are not even a domestic official now, just hanging the name of recording things to join the army, and they actually received so much gift money when they became a parent, and those officials are bigger and have ruthless thoughts......

It's useless to talk about these feelings, the reality in front of me is that after doing this family affair, the originally poor Tang family suddenly crossed from food and clothing to a well-off, at this time, think about the lack of food and clothing more than a year ago, Tang Zhang's family even did not hesitate to sell himself in order to save his son, and the Tang family looked at each other with a feeling of sudden dream.

Tang Zhang flipped over and over the thick stack of flying money, "touched" and "touched" and then handed it to Tang Shuan next to him. "Take a look at the master, too".

After Tang Xuan took the flying money, he didn't "touch" and "touch" like Tang Zhang, and after checking it, he handed it back, and in the process of handing it back, he deliberately glanced at Li Yingjun.

This is something that the old couple has discussed a long time ago, Tang Zhang's family naturally understood what the master meant, and after cherishing the "touch" of the thick stack of flying tickets again, she stood up and went directly to Li Yingjun. "Ah Cheng eats public meals, there are few times at home every day, and the family accounts have to be daughter-in-law, you come to '' your heart, come, this is a good gift for you."

Tang Zhang's mouth smiled at the same time, and slapped the thick stack of flying tickets on Li Yingjun's hand, and with this muffled sound of "snap", Tang Zhang's and Tang Xuan's side first frowned. Then the whole face "color" came alive, especially Tang Xuan, with the handing out of these tickets, his whole person seemed to show a lot.

"Mother...... This ......", just changed his words yesterday. Li Yingjun was still a little unaccustomed to calling Tang Zhang's like this, but her current embarrassment was not because of the title, but for her mother-in-law to shoot the pile of flying tickets in her hand. With a hesitation in her mouth, her eyes naturally looked at Tang Cheng.

For the thoughts of the two of them. Tang Cheng couldn't have understood it better.

Hey, who made his family poor before! The two of them are arrogant and "sexual" people in their bones, judging from their actions just now, they are afraid that they have been holding back this breath for some time. And Li Yingjun is in trouble now, and he knows it.

Tang Cheng stepped forward and took the ticket from Tang Zhang's hand, counted and took out fifty yuan from it, and then handed the rest to Li Yingjun, "Since it was given by your mother, you can take it, and there are expenses for repaying the love in the future."

Seeing that Li Yingjun took the ticket, Tang Cheng turned around again and stuffed the fifty pieces of land that had just been pulled out into Tang Zhang's hand. "These fifty are kept at home."

Tang Cheng said in his mouth, but his eyes looked at Tang Xuan.

"This is the filial piety of the son and daughter-in-law, you can take it when you become his mother", Tang Zhang, who was originally going to push it, didn't say anything more after the head of the family, and carefully collected the stack of flying tickets.

After this matter was settled, Tang Chengyin said another thing, and it was a sure thing that he would go to the Jinzhou Prefecture now. In addition, I also have money in hand to buy a house in Golden State. Because he wanted to ask his father and mother to go to Jinzhou with him, so that he could support them and enjoy happiness.

Pity. His thoughts hit a wall in Tang Xuan, and even Tang Zhang, who was really reluctant to have a son, was a little worried, the two of them had never been out of Yunxi in their lives, and the farthest place they went to was only the county seat, and now they suddenly wanted to go to Jinzhou Prefecture, and they didn't come back as soon as they went......

What to do with the land at home, the growth of this autumn crop is very gratifying! , and the chickens that are raised, and they are about to lay eggs......

As for Tang Shu, his mind is simpler, now he has good arms and legs, and his body is also good, so he will follow his son like this? This doesn't have to be laughed at by others, especially daughters-in-law! Besides, he really can't bear the crops, especially the ancestral house he just bought, what a good house, after adding so much furniture, even the neighboring village Niu Caidong's house is not much better than ours, right?

In the end, Tang Shu and his family didn't want to go to Jinzhou, but only said that let Tang Cheng settle himself down first, after all, this place is a strange place, as for the two of them, and wait for the time when the farm is idle to live, as for the long-term filial piety that his son said, he will wait until his body can't move.

When Tang Cheng heard this, he knew that persuasion was useless now, and his parents' life in the village was also nourishing, so he didn't say much, hey, let's follow them first, maybe they are still happy in this way, and their bodies and bones can be better, as for living together and filial piety, with the current age of the two of them, it is okay to wait.

After returning to the door three days after the wedding, Tang Cheng did not go back to the countryside home, but prepared to go to Jinzhou in the county, saying that he was preparing, but in fact, he was more busy visiting guests, and the cleaning up of the house was handled by the new "woman" Li Yingjun who was in high spirits with orchid grass, and as for the purchase of a new house in Jinzhou City, he asked Zhang Xiangwen's uncle to deal with it. After all, he can be regarded as a wealthy businessman with a head and a face in Jinzhou City, and his news channels are more extensive.

The one hundred and sixty yuan that had just arrived and was not yet warm was all sent over, and in order to buy this property, Tang Chengcheng, who had just been richer, became poor again. But the only thing that can be self-deprecating is that after more than a year of travel, he can be regarded as a propertied class.

Zhang Xianling and others are going to resign, and thank them for taking care of them these days, in addition to Uncle Liu, the county government, they also have to meet there. Having a drink or something together, and those tolerances in the east courtyard, it's not much, but it takes a lot of time to really walk around and socialize.

Time is staggered here, flowers and splendid words like water passed, only on the eighth day after the marriage, Sun Zhijun was still inspecting the neighboring county, and the official document of Tang Cheng had been sent from the state government to the Yunxi county government. Ten days later, he officially joined the company.

The places that should be visited have been visited, and those who should have moved around have also moved, and this night Tang Cheng went to Zhao Laohu's house.

Four snacks and a pot of warm wine, the two talked for a long time in the back garden of Zhao Laohu's house, and Tang Cheng brought the preparations for the previous trip to Yangzhou together, and he didn't hide it at all.

After listening to Tang Cheng's words, Zhao Laohu groaned for a long time. Only then did he slowly say a sentence: "Take what should be taken, and give up what should be given."

"Well, that's what I thought too."

"Come, pour me wine", took the wine cup handed by Tang Chengman. Zhao Laohu took a shallow sip, "Having such an opportunity to meet such people is creation!" Compared to this, the gold and silver sea are not worth anything. You know what I mean? ”。

"Understood!".

"Well, you kid wake up, you don't need me to say more", while speaking, Zhao Laohu didn't use chopsticks, so he picked up a handful of beans from the plate and chewed them in his mouth, "If you go to Yangzhou again, no matter what you do, you must always look at it and think clearly before you start." When you should give up, you have to be generous, those people are not shallow regardless of which side, you always have to give up generosity to make people remember you, can remember you, this thread is even if you wear it."

"Hmm".

"Although Wu Yujun is also with him, you have to take care of the big idea of this shop business, and when you think about what to do, don't always avoid his identity as a brother-in-law who assassinates Shi, he wants money. You want a way. Don't forget this! Even if the gold and silver sea are really piled up in front of you, you can't forget it! After drinking the wine in the cup with Hu Dou. Zhao Laohu wiped his drunken mouth, and said in a deep voice: "Be steady before you start, once you do it, you have to be ruthless, taboo this, taboo that is easy to be 'chaotic', and people with 'chaotic' hearts will not succeed."

Tang Cheng mentioned the wine ou to refill the wine for Zhao Laohu, and he was able to coincide with Zhao Laohu's thoughts, which made him feel a lot calmer and calmer, if he went to Yangzhou for money at the beginning, then after the situation has developed to this point, something more important than money has quietly appeared.

After Tang Cheng came out of Zhao Laohu's house, he went home directly, and when he pushed open the second courtyard, the lower quarter moon in the sky, which was originally covered by dark clouds, happened to "reveal" his true face, and the faint moonlight shone down, and the flowers and plants planted in the yard had a piece of alienated light and shadow.

The clouds break through the moon and come to the flowers and shadows, it is really a quiet beauty, but Tang Cheng didn't have the heart to appreciate it, he stopped and he was quietly looking at the last quarter moon, from the moon to the people, it was natural to think of the woman in men's clothes in the two months of the night.

Li Yingjun, who was holding his sleeves high, walked out of the west wing, "Ah Cheng, what are you thinking?" ”。

"I'm thinking about someone", Tang Cheng reached out and hugged Li Yingjun who leaned over, "a very special friend".

"Special?".

"yes, it's special!".

"Then you have to invite his family to come, and I will let the good students of the Gao family prepare a few dishes."

Hearing this, Tang Cheng smiled and hugged Li Yingjun into the West Chamber.

"I'm going to leave tomorrow, I'm really a little reluctant, Yingjun, can the carriage prepared for Old Master Yan and Mr. Yan be arranged?"

"Ah Cheng, you have asked three times, you have already prepared, now the carriage is waiting at the door of Old Master Yan's house, and it will come over to meet after it enters the city to pick up Mr. Yan."

"Well, Old Master Yan is so old, but he must take care of it."

It was a late autumn morning, and Tang Cheng and his party of four carriages arrived in Jinzhou under the escort of four shoulder knives.

After entering the city, I first went to see the house, so that I could live in a courtyard house and be a "woman" in the courteous hall. This is a phrase on the lips of the Tang people. Uncle Zhang Xiangwen helped to choose this courtyard house is the favorite quadrangle house of the Tang people, with three entrances and two compartments, stables and auxiliary facilities in the back garden. Although the house is a little small on the whole, it is more elegant, thanks to the fact that the previous owner was a scholar.

After all, it was the first property he spent money to buy land, Tang Cheng looked very carefully, and he was still very satisfied that he could buy such a house with one hundred and fifty-six yuan.

As soon as he settled down, before Tang Cheng had much time to breathe, Old Master Yan called him over.

I don't know if I was moved by Tang Cheng's sincerity. Or because he was really reluctant to have this student who he had high hopes for, Old Master Yan finally agreed to continue the master-apprentice teaching after Tang Cheng's two sincere requests, and this time he followed him to Jinzhou regardless of his old body.

This time, Tang Cheng had nothing else to say, and the old master Yan was neatly packed up all over his body, and told him to prepare the study as soon as possible, and take advantage of the whole day of the holiday in the past few days, starting tomorrow to officially continue to teach the "Five Classics" in Yunxi County; The other is the Wenhui, after all, Jinzhou is different from Yunxi, where more literati gather. There are naturally more literary meetings, and the imperial examinations in the Tang Dynasty are different from those of later generations. This is not only the case with Jinshike, but also within the reach of the wind, even the Mingjing Branch is no exception.

Old Master Yan was originally a teacher of state studies, and he has always been quite prestigious among the scholars of Jinzhou. The reason why Tete proposed the second article, the old master's meaning is clearly that he wants to introduce Tang Cheng into this circle and gradually become famous, from the state to the province, and then to Chang'an, it is too difficult to become a famous man overnight, which also requires a gradual process.

Although Tang Cheng had been awarded the ring ruler last time, Old Master Yan was obviously unrelenting to this disciple who valued him the most in his later years, and came to Jinzhou. Looking at the posture he is putting on now, it is clear that he wants to urge Tang Cheng, who is "obsessed" with the clerks of the Yamen, to concentrate on the way of the imperial examination, or even to personally "operate" this matter as an old man.

For an official, the level of official position may be the standard for measuring the success or failure of a lifetime's achievements, so for an edict like Master Yan, what should be the standard for measuring the success or failure of a lifetime's achievements?

A high school imperial examination, a disciple who is famous all over the world?

Perhaps, this is the main reason why Old Master Yan is willing to come to Golden State?

"These more than ten days of idle life can be regarded as the end." Thinking of Old Master Yan's serious expression. Tang Cheng, who came out of the room, stretched his arms and expanded his chest a few times in a row, thinking of the tense days that would start tomorrow. He had a few faint expectations in his heart, and it was time to get nervous.

From Yunxi to Jinzhou, from worrying about food at home to now buying back his ancestral business, and even buying real estate in Jinzhou, his hard work and sweat in front of him have now been harvested and rewarded. Now that he has a new place and a higher starting point, it is time for him to bow his head and sweat again.

After coming out of Old Master Yan's place, Tang Cheng went to Mr. Yan's room together, Mr. Yan came very suddenly, he never knew that there was such a person before, or when he went to Chengning to thank and say goodbye a few days ago, the old monk recommended such a master to him with a faint but sudden peak.

Although the old monk said that it was up to him to decide whether to invite this master or not, out of trust in Chengning, Tang Cheng still went to find this unbearable Mr. Yan who lived in the temple.

The emaciated body, the unkempt hair, the bright red rosacea, and especially the horrible hand that was visibly shrunk and trembling.

That's the right hand! Can you paint with one hand like this? Can such a person be a painting master?

Tang Cheng has never judged people by their appearance, especially after the baptism of martial arts and the Internet in later generations, the Mr. Yan in front of him not only did not scare him, but made him feel like a treasure, and those unborn masters in later legends are like this!

Well, in fact, the thoughts just now were all self-ridicule in Tang Cheng's heart, the fundamental reason why he did not despise Mr. Yan at all was the recommendation of the old monk, this person in front of him was a little unreliable, but Cheng Ning was definitely trustworthy.

After helping to repay the wine debt of up to eight times, it is strange to say that Mr. Yan has fallen like this, and there are still wine shops that dare to owe him so much wine money on credit! In addition, after advancing five times, Tang Cheng finally invited this master who was willing to stay in his home for a long time.

Tang Cheng had not yet arrived in the room where Mr. Yan lived, when he heard a snoring sound that fluctuated like waves, and looked through the wide open window.

Mr. Yan is already like that. Tang Cheng stood outside the window and didn't go in again, speaking of which, there are two masters he is following now, but the difference between Mr. Yan and Old Master Yan is too great, it is simply two extremes.

When Tang Cheng turned to leave, he took off the pole of the window and gently closed the window, the late autumn wind was cool, and if it blew for a long time, he would definitely catch a cold.

On the way back to the back house, because he taught painting skills, Mr. Yan. Tang Cheng naturally thought of Liu Suifeng, who had a one-year appointment with him in Yunxi County School.

The reason why I thought of him was not only because of this, but also because in the list of gifts that got married some time ago, Liu Suifeng's name was also prominently listed, and there was a lot of money for the gifts, which was as much as four times.

This Liu Suifeng's actions are always unexpected, walking slowly in this strange and quiet new house, Tang Cheng's mind suddenly appeared Liu Suifeng's white clothes fluttering. And his eternally confident and arrogant look.

Confident and arrogant! This sudden thought surprised Tang Cheng himself, because he still clearly remembers that when he studied the history of ancient literature in the Sui and Tang dynasties in later universities, the teacher once said in a special way: The Tang Dynasty is the highest peak in China's 2,000-year dynastic history, and the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty is not only in the political, economic, and military prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. It is also because of the great prosperity of culture, the poets and literati who were fortunate to be born in this era generally have a positive and enterprising attitude towards life, and because of the strong national strength, they have a more magnificent mind, bearing and a strong enterprising spirit. Many of them often combine self-confidence and arrogance.

But these words were used to point to Li Bai, Gao Shi, Cen Shen, Wang Changling and other people in the Tang Dynasty, how could he think of Liu Suifeng and think of this sentence by coincidence?

Tang Dynasty figures? Willow with the wind?

Think about Liu Suifeng who is not afraid of people's words, is not afraid of people's words, admits defeat when he knows it, has a strong desire to win, and his style and demeanor that he refuses to take advantage of it at all. Shaking his head and smiling, Tang Cheng had to admit that he really had a bit of the roots of a Tang Dynasty character.

Although he has not yet achieved everyone's achievements, and may not be able to have it in his life, he does have a foundation in temperament and behavior, after all, he is still young now, if he is about thirty years old, when he is in the prime of life, is he not living in the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty?

The environment cultivates people, and the national strength and self-confidence of the Tang Dynasty have created special Tang Dynasty characters, and the extremely prosperous world of the Tang Dynasty is imminent. At this time, it is not abrupt for people like Liu Suifeng to appear. Or the other way around. The appearance of characters like Liu Suifeng, although still very immature. Does it also mark the accumulation of Datang decades after the initial prosperity of Zhenguan, as if it has attracted the dawn of the Tang Dynasty!

His thoughts flew away, and with such chaotic thoughts, Tang Cheng returned to the back house.

Li Yingjun in the back house is busy but full of energy, seeing her like a little bee coming and going, Tang Cheng first felt funny, but also a little touched by the warmth, now since he arrived in the new house in the state city, although there are girls to serve, but the layout in the back house Li Yingjun is himself, especially in this bedroom, Li Yingjun has to personally place everything in it, and the girls are not allowed to "insert" a finger.

From this seemingly funny detail, Tang Cheng can feel that Li Yingjun has a strong affection for this new home, and this affection is even so strong that no one is allowed to "interfere".

Hearing Tang Cheng come in, Li Yingjun, who was busy with herself, turned around and gave him a bright smile, but in the late autumn season, a fine bead of sweat appeared on her forehead, "Ah Cheng, it'll be fine soon, you wait."

"What are you waiting for, I'll help you", Tang Cheng agreed with a smile in his mouth, and rolled up his sleeves in his hands.

In the following days, Tang Cheng's life seemed to suddenly return to the state of the village school, and in addition to eating and resting every day, almost the rest of the time was spent in the study with Old Master Yan.

In the strictness of the old master Yan, Tang Cheng, who had pulled down a lot of schoolwork some time ago, rose up to catch up, and the sweeping part of the "Book of Shang" ended quickly, and he turned into the study of the "Book of Rites" in the Five Classics, and for a while, Tang Cheng's study came from the sound of reciting books that were very familiar to Li Yingjun and Lancao:

The road is also a trip to the world. Select talents and abilities, and emphasize faith and harmony. Therefore a man does not kiss his own kinsman, nor has he only his son; So that the old have the end, the strong have use, the young have growth, the widowed, the lonely, the lonely, the disabled have all been raised; Men have a share, and women have a home. goods, evil is abandoned on the ground, do not have to hide themselves; Evil does not come from one's body, and it does not have to be oneself. It is because of the plot to close up and not to prosper, to steal "chaos" and thieves and not to do it, so the outside door is not closed. It is called "Datong".

Because Sun Zhijun was still inspecting the counties and did not return, Tang Cheng did not go to the Assassin's Mansion, but on the night when he finally asked for leave, he visited Zhang Zishan, the third person in the Jinzhou Prefecture, with a letter written by Zhang Xiangwen and signed by Zhang Ziwen and Zhao Laohu.

It was this visit that made Tang Cheng clear about his arrangements in the state government, he was arranged in the Tian Cao who was in charge of the affairs of the fields and acres in Jinzhou, although the state government still has the household, the judiciary, the cang, the soldiers, and the merits, but for an agricultural society, especially for an agricultural state like Jinzhou, the acres of land are the fundamentals, so compared with the state government, the fields are really the most important and prominent part.

Although he has been promoted to the rank of fifth-class clerk in Yunxi County to join the army, after being transferred to the state government this time, although the rank has not changed, he is still arranged to be an ordinary clerk, but another news that Zhang Zishan has revealed is extremely meaningful - the judge who is responsible for presiding over the affairs of the state government is now vacant.

With such an important vacancy in the real job, can there be fewer people to worry about? However, although many people are active in this position these days, when the candidates for the record of joining the army are reported, and Ma Beijia signs the consent and then sends them to Sun Envoy, they are all rejected without exception.

According to the usual practice, an official at the level of a judge is not as practical as Sun Yuanjun, and in the past, he just went through the procedure, but this time he somehow compared it to the truth, and when he vetoed the candidates reported below, he did not clearly put forward his favorite candidate.

The meaning of such an act could not be more obvious, and Sun Yuanjun clearly intended to put this fat deficiency first.

The old yamen all know that there are generally two meanings of letting go first, one is that there is no candidate at the moment, and the other is to reserve it for someone, thinking of the Tang Cheng who was recently transferred from the Yunxi County Ya, although he has not officially arrived, but the rumors that he will take over as the Sitian Judge after he is familiar with the affairs have been in the uproar of the state government.

It is Sima Zhang Zishan of Jinzhou who is quite impressed by this rumor, of course this is good news for Tang Cheng, but along with this good news, there is another thing that makes him very depressed, because all the scribes of the state government are under the control of Ma Biejia, which means that from the day Tang Cheng officially joins the company, he will be placed under the leadership of Ma Biejia.

Because of Yao's main book, now Ma Beijia's bad feelings towards the Yunxi County Yamen are well known in the Jinzhou Yamen, and for Tang Cheng, there is such a Shangguan pressing on it, and his days in the state yamen are ...... This challenge is indispensable!
