Chapter Seventy-Two: Depression
"This life is over."
There was a hint of sarcasm in Mrs. Tang's tone, and the meaning was self-evident. You Wu Jie is talented, but so what, you can't marry my daughter.
To be a human being, you have to be happy and know, and don't think cranky.
It's just a matter of getting a show, don't toss.
"The juniors don't understand Madame's words." Wu Jie also laughed softly: "Showing talent and fame is just the beginning for Wu Jie, indeed, Miss Tang is everyone's best girl, and ordinary people are not worthy of her." Madame dislikes Wu Jie as a poor student, don't you want to think about what the future will be like with my talents? ”
"Future." Mrs. Tang shook her head: "Are you talking about this year's autumn festival, Wu Jie, I don't think you can be admitted?" Even if you are lucky, you can guarantee that you will definitely be able to get into the jinshi? Even if you can win, how many years will it take? ”
"Why is that?"
Mrs. Tang: "Indeed, I admit that you are a genius, but the name of a genius does not guarantee everything. On the imperial examination field, there are three points of personnel and seven points of destiny. Heaven wants you to be in the middle, and it will be easy to pass. If you don't win, even if you don't win in 20 or 30 years, you won't be able to win. Tang Bohu is talented, but after understanding Yuan in the autumn and the middle of the year, he can't go further in his life, how about Xu Qingteng, isn't it also a lifetime. Thirty old Ming Jing, forty young jinshi. If you don't get into the jinshi, you can't be an official, even if you are a lifter, aren't you a poor scholar. Can I bear to let my daughter suffer with you for the rest of my life? ”
Mrs. Tang Suo said: "You are not a suitable person, you should do your duty, don't think about it." Live well, in Xinjin, with my Tang family, no one can bully you. ”
"It turns out that this is Madame's true thoughts, it seems that you don't want to agree to this family business." Wu Xiu looked at Mrs. Tang brightly: "Haha, haha!" ”
He burst out laughing, and the room echoed loudly.
Everyone's complexion changed drastically.
Steward Song shouted: "Wu Jie, in front of Madame, how can you be rampant...... Still is...... Or quickly ask Madame for sin. ”
Wu Jie finished laughing, and then said loudly: "Twenty years, thirty years, Mrs. also underestimates me Wu Jie too much." If I am in Xiucai and Zhongju this year, and in the spring of next year, I will be in Jinshi, Sanyuan and first, what will my wife think? That's right, your Tang family sees me as poor, and can't wait for the day when Wu Jiegong becomes famous, and wants to repent of this marriage and find another child from a rich and noble family. It's ridiculous that your vision is limited to the remote place of Sichuan, what pattern can you have in your chest? I, Wu Jie, although I have bad luck and my family is in the middle of the road, but the ambition in my heart is not what you can understand, madam. The Tang family insisted on refusing to marry Miss Tang to a certain person. A certain person is not the kind of person who is obsessed, so as not to be despised by others. section, three feet of life, a scholar, but with the ambition of Lingyun. He waited for me to be a jinshi, when the cloth was beautiful. The wonder of life, the beauty of life, just as the mountains that towering above the clouds cannot be forced, how can you look up? ”
After saying the two sentences of "How can you understand it", Wu Jie pulled the moth: "Go!" ”
"Stop!" Mrs. Tang was furious: "What an arrogant boy, who do you think you are, just because you are also worthy of being arrogant in front of me." Do you think you are Xie Jin, do you think you are Li Dongyang? Don't forget, I was born in the Yang family, and the ancestor of my Yang family was the number one talent at that time, and you are not qualified to go crazy in front of me. ”
"Ma'am, ma'am, what a big deal." Steward Song hurriedly gave up his hand and shouted to Wu Jie again: "Wu Jie, why don't you make amends to your wife soon, what a big deal?" ”
"Smack!" A slap was thrown on Steward Song's face, and Mrs. Tang withdrew her right hand with a blushing face: "Butler, what do you persuade him to do, it's not your turn to speak here!" It's just a rebellious person, relying on a little talent to make amazing words, such a sour ding, I used to see a lot in the Yang family. Come on, blast them out for me! ”
"Haha, who dares, in a few days, when I win the fame of Xiucai, you dare to be rude to a scholar with a meritorious reputation, aren't you afraid of being punished by academic officials?" Wu Jie laughed and looked at the Tang family who was about to step forward to make a move.
All the Tang family members were afraid.
Waiting for Wu Jie and Mozi to leave, Mrs. Tang slapped her face on the coffee table, her dignified and beautiful face was as white as paper, and her lips trembled with anger.
Steward Song sighed at this time: "Why bother, madam." ”
Mrs. Tang took a sip of tea, finally calmed down, and then said, "Butler, I punished you just now, don't take it to heart." ”
"Don't dare, Madame speaks, the old slave shouldn't interject." Steward Song couldn't help but ask: "Madam, since even you say that Wu Jie is a great talent, the future future is naturally not bad, and it is also a good thing to give Miss to him." ”
"You don't know." Mrs. Tang sighed: "You don't know what the imperial examination is all about, thousands of troops have crossed the single-plank bridge, who dares to say for sure that he will be able to win, and when." If you can't get it for the rest of your life, will it be possible for Mi'er to suffer with him for the rest of her life? Also, this kid is really hateful! ”
She gritted her teeth and said, "I divorced my wife last time, it was such a shame and humiliation, I couldn't bear it." Don't even think about this marriage. ”
Steward Song could only bow his head and remain silent, this sentence was Mrs. Tang's true thoughts.
This Mrs. Tang, she really doesn't rub sand in her eyes, why bother?
Mrs. Tang: "By the way, since Wu Jie didn't plagiarize at the last poetry meeting and won the first place, the color head of one hundred taels of silver should also be given to him, so as not to make people laugh at my Tang family for breaking their word and getting fat." She smiled coldly: "You can't let that kid look down on us, butler, you brought the silver to chase after him, and bring my words to him as they are." ”
……
Wu Jie is not a hypocritical person, since Steward Song sent the silver over, he did not shirk it, and took it and handed it to Mozi.
Steward Song looked like he was getting old, and his face was full of wrinkles: "Wu Gongzi, the old slave is unhappy if he doesn't say a word, I hope you won't be surprised when he says it." ”
Wu Jie: "Please speak." ”
Steward Song: "Madame is a violent surname, she is mainly angry at the letter of resignation you wrote to the Tang family last time, and she doesn't have to regret this family business." Today, Gongzi is also a first-class talent in Sichuan, and if he can marry the Tang family, we will also have a light on our faces. All you need to do is ...... As long as the son finds his uncle, he comes forward to say something, and then goes to the lady to make amends. Madame listened to her uncle the most......"
Mozi also raised his spirit and looked at Wu Jie: "Young master, otherwise, you will go and make amends, right?" ”
Wu Jie laughed: "The husband stands between heaven and earth, and the integrity is the most important. This matter is in the Tang family, what crime do I Wu Jie pay for? If you really bow your head today, how can you be worthy of the word in my name and the word Shizhen? ”
With his head raised, he strode forward.
"Young Master, wait for me." The moth hurried after him.
Steward Song stood there fixedly, for a long time, but his eyes were red: "Madam and Wu Gongzi are both tough people, and no one refuses to bow their heads first, so they only pity Miss...... Miss is caught between them, how can she be innocent......"
Thinking of the sorrow, the old tears fell and raised a cloud of dust on the ground.
After sending away Steward Wu, Wu Jie had a depression in his heart, and he couldn't spit it out.
Seeing that the young master's face was not good-looking, Mozi followed behind with his burden, looking worried, but he didn't dare to say anything.
Wu Jie walked two streets, and his heart gradually became happy, and when he looked up, he had arrived at Luoma City, the most prosperous place in Chengdu. There was a bustling flow of people all around, and when I turned my head, I saw that the two spies of the brocade guards were still following from a distance.
This makes Wu Jie even more annoyed, since you want to follow, just follow, I don't bother to care about you.
Wu Jie didn't leave anymore, just sat down in a tea shop next to him, ordered a pot of Mengding Yunmist, and drank it leisurely.
The two spies stood still on the opposite street, pretending to be chatting.
After a while, suddenly, there was the sound of a gong "Dang!" There was a bang.
Wu Jie looked up, but it was a strong man as tall as a door panel, carrying a large bundle of ash poles on his back, holding a gong in his hand, and shouted in a straight voice: "It's a show, it's a show, everyone comes to see!" ”
There was a commanding tone in his words.
Wu Jie was happy when he heard it, and most of the opening remarks of others were performers: "Fellow villagers and elders, the little ones have suffered and are in a precious land." I have no life, I don't have enough food, and I have to come to beg for food. What about our first visit, there is something I can't live in, please bear with me. Those who have money hold a money field, and those who don't have money hold a personal field! ”
This person is good, come directly: "Sell your art, sell your art", and this kind of attitude, the business quality is really not good.
This happiness, but the depression in my heart has dissipated a lot. Anyway, there was nothing to do, Wu Jie couldn't help but stand up and walk over to see the excitement.
At this glance, I really saw some doorways. Although this man can't speak and is honest, he is a man with great skills.
