Section 80 Blessing (Part II)
The charcoal fire in the study was beating, reflecting the eldest son's face was gloomy, he held the teacup in both hands, and said slowly: "I can't hide anything from you, to be honest, I've been a little uneasy lately." ”
"Oh?" He looked at him silently for a while, nodded and said, "It's really the age to think about women." ”
The eldest son almost dropped the cup on the ground, and hurriedly explained: "It's not like that. As he spoke, his brows gradually furrowed, and he said, "I don't really want to be a businessman for the rest of my life." Afraid that Shen Mo would be angry, he quickly explained: "It's not that if you don't have any other way, I will continue to do it." ”
Shen Mo smiled unexpectedly: "No one has let you do it for a lifetime, now we are familiar with the Tao here, no one can fool around, you can find a capable shopkeeper to carry it, and nothing will get in the way." As he spoke, he asked with a smile, "Then what do you want to do?" ”
"I want to ......" the eldest son lowered his head and whispered, "Go to the army." ”
The silent smile froze suddenly, and it took a long time before he said slowly: "Do you have any other ambitions?" ”
The eldest son shook his head, bit his lower lip and said, "I just want to be a soldier." ”
Shen Mo also shook his head, and said with a straight face: "You can go and ask your father to see if he agrees." ”
The eldest son's head lowered, and he whispered: "I'm afraid that he won't agree, so I will discuss with you first." ”
Shen Mo put down the teapot in his hand, leaned over to look at his eldest son, and was about to speak, but the door opened. A young man in a green silk jacket walked in, and when he saw them, he smiled and said, "What are you plotting behind my back?" ”
Shen Mo rolled his eyes, leaned back in the chair, and said angrily: "You came just in time, help enlighten our eldest son." ”
The person who came was very happy, naturally it was Shen Jing and Shen Sishao, as soon as he heard Shen Mo say this, he made a fuss and said, "Eldest son, why are you like a wilted cucumber?" ”
"Seriously." Shen Mo laughed and scolded, pointed at the eldest son and said, "This old man wants to be a soldier, you can help me persuade him." ”
Shen Jing's mouth could be stuffed with a duck egg, and he was dumbfounded: "I heard me right, right?" You're going...... Soldier? ”
The eldest son nodded and said in a muffled voice: "What's wrong with being a soldier?" Isn't Xu Da often a big hero? ”
"You're an old calendar." Shen Jing waved his hand, dragged the bench over, sat opposite the eldest son, and said, "What era is it now?" Good iron doesn't nail, good men don't serve soldiers! If you become a soldier, your son, your grandson, your grandson's son, your grandson's grandson will resent you! ”
The eldest son was counted down by him for a while, and suddenly became even more wilted, and lowered his head and said, "Why bother me? ”
Shen Jing wanted to taunt him again, but he was stopped by Shen Mo waving his hand, and sighed: "Actually, why don't we want to learn from that Han and Tang generals, drunk and lying on the battlefield, and shrouded in horse leather?" But this world makes it impossible for us! Shen Mo said earnestly and persuasively: "But this world is so heavy on literature and light on military force, and in the whole environment, the social, political, and economic status of soldiers is ridiculously low.
Shen Jing took over and said: "Yes, as long as you become a soldier, in the eyes of the world, you will be equated with an unclear background, a low background, and rudeness." Even if you are a thousand, you can't raise your head. ”
The eldest son finally wavered a little, and he muttered, "Then what should I do?" ”
Shen Jing hit the railway while it was hot: "Do you want to hear the future that the two of us have planned for you?" ”
The eldest son nodded silently, and Shen Jing cleared his throat and said: "I have inquired clearly, the price of one prisoner in the Guozi Prison is one thousand taels, according to our current business, as long as we save a little money, we can buy two places in three years at most." When the time comes, the two of us will go to Yanjing to play for three years, and we will not seek any further progress, but just want to graduate safely. ”
"Then come back to take a township test, which can be regarded as a foreplay." Shen Jing spat and said: "Although it is impossible to be a big official directly like at the beginning of the country." But with the identity of the prisoner, we can still go to the Nanjing Ministry of Officials to do a little bit of activity, although their authority is limited, but they are still easy to do in Nanzhili. ”
"And they have a good thing...... The sky is high and the emperor is far away, which is convenient for playing tricks. When the time comes, let's go to the county first, be a county chief and something like that, and after a few years, we will have a good time, and then plan to be the magistrate of an inferior county! When you insist on surviving for a term, you will go back to the superior county if you can't say it, and be happy as a fat county master! Saying that, he patted his eldest son's thigh, and said seriously: "As long as you can become a county magistrate, who in the county dares to say that you are from a Kegong official?" You have to be careful with flattery! ”
He babbled for a long time, the eldest son's eyes straightened when he heard it, Mu Mu nodded and said, "I'm still selling salt honestly...... and then got up and said, "I have to clean the hall." Shen Mo nodded and let him go first.
When the eldest son left, he said silently, "When did you come back?" ”
"Last night." Shen Jing picked up the eldest son's tea bowl, drank it, and said a few times: "It's so bitter." ”
Shen Mo smiled and scolded: "Is the tea bitter or the errand bitter?" ”
"Of course it's an errand!" Shen Jing said with a sad face: "Think about it, I begged my grandfather to tell my grandmother in Nanjing City," and said Kunqu opera singing: "I am also ...... bitter" Obviously, I have played too much on the Qinhuai River.
"Okay, okay, count your hard work." Shen Mo hurriedly reassured: "Let's get down to business." ”
Only then did Shen Jing put away his smiling face, nodded and said, "Can I bother with my uncle's affairs?" You're done! He told Shen Mo about his trip to Nanjing......
This matter has to start with Shen He. It is said that he entered the Huiji County as an errand boy, starting from the 'sticker' of the sixth room, according to what his son taught, being kind to others, generous, and in less than half a year, he made a good relationship, and everyone praised him, saying that he was 'Shen Xianggong who was anxious for justice and righteousness'.
As a result, at the end of last year, that Zhou Jingcheng reached the age of Zhishi, and the magistrate kept it according to the usual practice, but Zhou Jingcheng saw that several Shangguan were younger than him, and he really had no hope, and he had already made enough money after eating the plaintiff and the defendant all these years, so he decided to go home and make fun of his grandson.
