Chapter 726: Holding it too high
It was lively and lively, and the bride was taken over, and according to the Han family ritual, she worshiped heaven and earth, and sent her to the cave room that had been prepared a long time ago.
Song Zhen has been watching silently, and Ma Tao smiled like a fool...... He really should laugh, Song Zhen knows the situation of this kid, he is a native of Meizhou, Shuzhong, and there is only one old mother in the family, who lives by weaving silk for others.
Later, he joined the army, was transferred north, participated in the Battle of Hengshan, and later became disabled and had to leave the army...... His experience was similar to that of many GIs.
According to past experience, if you are injured and disabled, you have no money or power, or you will go home, depend on your mother for your life, you can't do heavy work, you can't afford to marry a daughter-in-law, you can't afford to be aggrieved, and finally you die of poverty and illness, and you are unknown.
Martial arts are cheap, nothing is remarkable, thousands of years, isn't that.
They have always been injured, disabled, and abolished, and they are useless, and the court is even too lazy to bother, because even if they want to hold swords and guns, they can't do it.
It's boring to waste money on a wasted person!
If you are in a high position, if you can't treat life as a mustard, don't want to hold power!
Song Zhen has seen too much, although he may not do it himself, but he can already do it without changing his face and being indifferent.
It's as if it's all natural.
But after some days of contact with Ma Tao, Song Zhen gradually changed some views.
For example, Ma Tao is very smart, he read some private schools in his early years, he knows a little word, he is not the Wang family army system, but later heard that there is a literacy class in the army, so he plunged into it, studied hard, and soon knew more words than other veterans, he was dexterous, learned arithmetic, wrote official documents, bookkeeping, valuation, taxation, this set of things learned faster than others.
If he was born in a scholarly family, he would have been able to receive a good education at a young age, and perhaps at this age, he would have won the Toad Palace and become a Jinshi that everyone envies.
Nobody's success is a fluke.
Song Zhen Sanyuan and the first, he also relied on hard reading in exchange, all the way through, how much price he paid. Before this, Song Zhen felt that he deserved everything.
But it wasn't until he came into contact with veterans like Ma Tao that he finally realized how lucky he was!
It's a bit hard, but there are thousands of books at home, what you want to see, and you know many famous people, you can ask them for advice since you were a child, poetry and songs, moral articles, as long as you want to learn, someone is willing to teach. The direction and goal are there, the resources and connections are at hand, as long as the effort is enough.
Most people, however, are not like this, they can't afford to buy books, they can't get married, and even their parents and elders don't think they are talented, they don't have enough input, they let themselves go, they miss the opportunity to get enlightened, and they miss the opportunity to study hard, and when they grow up, they regret it, and it's too late......
There are many innate injustices that cannot be changed by hard work and diligence.
Song Xianggong did not become sympathetic to the weak because of this, and his sense of justice was bursting, but he at least understood the difficulties of the lower classes, even if they were a full seed, they lacked enough fertile soil to grow healthy and strong...... However, if everything goes well, Ma Tao's descendants will be able to escape their tragic fate.
Veterans have become tax collectors, although in the eyes of the court officials, they are still small officials, but at least squeezed into the ranks of the bureaucracy, can have more than 100 yuan a year, plus benefits and gray income, Ma Tao's next generation wants to study, they can afford to buy books, afford to go to private schools, and even go to study under famous teachers.
As long as the brain is smart enough and hard enough, maybe twenty years later, the Ma family can also change their doors and become a master from now on.
This kind of wedding, Song Zhen wanted to accept the kowtow of the newlyweds, so he left immediately, thinking too much, but he was not in a hurry to leave. He paid attention to the robes of the soldiers who had come to congratulate him.
Many have fought alongside Ma Tao.
Everyone drank wine, munched on beef and mutton, and their eyes were full of brilliance.
They talk a lot, and it's all about what the future holds...... Ma Tao is a role model, not a Wenqu star who is famous outside the Donghua Gate, not the kind of unattainable role model.
It's within reach!
As long as they are brave in battle, they can't be small officials, they can also get a share of the fields and pastures, and if they have money, they can marry a daughter-in-law, have children, and send children to study and study, maybe they can't compare with those scholarly families, the starting lines of the two sides are completely different, but after all, they can get off the field, even if they are doomed to failure, there is nothing, there are always one or two lucky ones who can stand out, after all, being able to participate is victory, and too many people are not even qualified to enter the field!
From everyone's eyes, Song Zhen read something called "hope"!
The big guys are full of fighting spirit, and the disabled veterans who have left the army know that they have not been abandoned, and they have not been scrapped because they were injured!
They still have a chance, and they can live even better!
In the army, I look forward to making more contributions, getting more land rewards, and living a more chic life than Ma Tao in the future.
Song Zhen walked past every wine table, and he gradually thought of one thing.
Shang martingale change.
Plough and fight to build a country!
Great Qin's Tiger and Wolf Division, isn't that how it came about!
The rewards and punishments are clear and convincing.
All the veterans praised Wang Ningan and respected him like a god.
Song Zhen had no doubt that if Wang Ningan ordered them to die, at least half of them would receive the order without even frowning!
What a terrible Wang Ning'an!
If this kid wants to rebel, wouldn't he be a response?
Thinking of this, Song Zhen couldn't help but shudder, and subconsciously shrank his shoulders.
As a result, at this moment, something even more chilling appeared, a table in front of him, four eyes, were staring at him, especially the old man sitting on the left, with a sneering smile on the corner of his mouth.
In an instant, Song Zhen was so embarrassed again!
It's even more embarrassing than the last time Wen Yanbo pretended to be a student!
"You, you ......"
Wang Ningan hurriedly waved his hand and pointed to the stool next to him, Song Zhen had no choice but to come over, sit down, and bow his hand at Wen Yanbo.
"It turned out that Brother Kuanfu was here, and he was disrespectful."
Song Zhen turned to Wang Ning'an again, wanting to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth, so he had to pick up the wine glass, "The old man toasts." ”
As he spoke, he picked up his glass and drank only half of it...... It's not that Song Zhen is slippery, and when he toasted in the Song Dynasty, he didn't drink it first, but he had to wait for the toasted to drink it up. Although Wang Ningan is much younger than Song Zhen, he has no choice but to be a prince, but he is not comparable to Song Xianggong.
Wang Ningan raised his wine glass with a smile, "Song Xianggong, it's really surprising that you can come to preside over the wedding!" The saints are taught without class, and they are treated equally. Now it seems that Song Xianggong also has the bosom of a sage, admire, admire! ”
Wang Ningan came from the bottom of his heart, he pulled Wen Yanbo to run, not too idle to do.
After all, the status of these veterans in the past was not high, and their family background was not good, and it was inevitable that there would be some mistakes at the wedding.
Home and everything is prosperous, and you can be more attentive when you run errands in the future.
Of course, this is also a good opportunity to buy hearts and minds.
If it weren't for Song Zhen's marriage, let Wang Ningan do it, he would also be willing.
In fact, many soldiers of the Wang family, including students of the Six Arts, Wang Ningan presided over countless weddings, and many people know that Wang Ningan has the habit of being old when he is old.
He really likes festive scenes, so he married two daughters-in-law!
People are speculating that they don't know when Wang Xianggong will marry Miss Xiao into the house and come to Sanyang Kaitai!
"The prince and brother Kuanfu, come in person, the old man is really amorous, stealing the limelight, ashamed, the old man has resigned!"
"Don't be busy!"
Wen Yanbo waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Gongxu, what you said is too underestimating the hearts of me and the prince, we are just here to beg for a glass of water and wine to drink, and to be happy." ”
Song Zhen frowned, "You really don't have any plans to show up?" ”
"That's natural, I don't believe it, check the list of Xidan, I and the prince use pseudonyms on it, let's come over, just to see if there are any accidents."
Song Zhen lowered his head, groaned for a while, and suddenly laughed, "Sure enough, it's a master, if the old man guessed correctly, there will definitely be an accident at the wedding, and then the prince and brother Kuanfu have to show up to help, making it known all over the city, and then many people will check their wedding lists, and find out that the pseudonyms of the two of you, and they are so grateful that they are crying, and from then on, they will be dead to the prince and Wen Xianggong!" ”
"Formless and formless, compared to presiding over weddings everywhere, it is indeed much more clever, no wonder our gang is not your opponent." He pointed to his chest, "The heart and eyes are too bad, I'm sorry, I missed you!" ”
Wen Yanbo gritted his teeth, what a good routine, you have to say it.
Don't pretend to be pure in front of the old man, the few words you just fooled people are not nobler than the old man, uh no, it is even more despicable!
Just as Song Zhen got up to leave, suddenly there was a quarrel.
It turned out to be Wei Mu Yueneng's son, who covered his face with wine, hugged Ma Tao's shoulders, and shouted loudly.
"Brother-in-law, I, my sister is a delicate flower from far and near, let you pick it, you kid is blessed, blessed!"
Facing his eldest brother, Ma Tao could only keep nodding.
This one continued: "There is nothing else to say, you are a celebrity in front of the prince, and you are the apprentice of Song Xianggong, there is a favor, you must help!" ”
Ma Tao was stunned for a moment, when did he become Wang Ning'an's celebrity, he had seen Wang Ning'an twice, once to review the soldiers, and once to reward meritorious soldiers, but other than that, he didn't even say anything.
As for Song Zhen, no matter how big his face is, he doesn't dare to call himself Song Xianggong's apprentice! The three yuan and the first, the apprentices are also all members of the court, famous scholars, what are they themselves!
If you want to blame Song Zhen's words just now, he was held too high, in case he fell to his death, how could it be good!
Ma Tao became more and more embarrassed, his face turned red, and his fingers kept rubbing.
The eldest brother didn't care at all, Wei Muyue didn't seem to see it, and let his son go crazy, he felt that this was a good time to experiment with his son-in-law's ability, and he wanted to see if this kid was really not!
"Over the years, our tribe has been bullied by the famous rock tiger, he robbed my cattle and sheep, extorted property, and robbed many women, even my sister almost became the concubine of the famous rock tiger! The hatred of taking your wife, if you endure it, you are not a man, I look down on you! ”
