Chapter 40: The White Rabbit and the Old Fox
Without a woman, the obedient official and the big head devoured and ate to their heart's content, and the servants of the Yan family outside came in and carefully cleaned up the scraps, and they didn't dare to talk much, but they were afraid that they would have to chew their tongues in private.
After eating, the obedient official rested for a while, ready to write a little more, the big head spread the paper for the young master, grinding the ink thick, seeing the young master biting the pen and thinking hard, he quietly withdrew from the cabin, turned around and entered the cabin where Father Zheng and Shan Chixia lived.
His father, Shan Chixia, sat in the cabin and meditated, speaking of which, this is probably the difference between the Eastern martial arts system and the Western martial arts system. For example, Spain, the most powerful country in the West, Spain under the rule of Philip II and his wife Bloody Mary is extremely powerful, and there are countless swordsmen, and the Spanish swordsmen have honed their skills, especially good at two-handed swordsmanship, and generally take mercenaries as their profession, and have killed countless people in various wars of Spain's conquest of colonies, but European swordsmen basically go downhill quickly after they are old, either dying of old age in poverty or dying at the hands of young swordsmen to become the stepping stones of the other party.
The Oriental martial arts system pays more attention to the spiritual level of tempering, even if it is a top master of the Orient, Shan Chixia, usually does not deliberately temper the body, but pays attention to breathing, Oriental swordsmen can basically maintain the peak state or slowly decline until old death, this is also the source of the later martial arts novels in which the masters of the two Jiazi skills must be better than the one Jiazi skills, the older they are, the more powerful the killing skills, and then derive the philosophical system of heaven and man, martial arts will be very strange here, From killing people to living people, and turning to the pursuit of metaphysics, either from Buddhism, Taoism, or Buddhism, Confucianism, and Confucianism, the three initiates completely deviated in the direction of religion.
Even after another 500 years, Tunajutsu is the standard for judging whether a fighting skill is ancient, and those who have Tunajutsu must be ancient, while those who do not have Tunajutsu are modern sports competitions.
Father Zheng also learned the technique of vomiting with Shan Chixia, in fact, Father Zheng has been able to survive all these years because of the practice of vomiting.
Shan Chixia opened her eyes slightly, looked at her son, and said, "What, something?" ”
"Master, Daddy." The big head told Miss Yan about the matter, Zheng Liancheng, who was lying on the couch, turned to the side, hesitated, and said to Shan Chixia: "Chixia, what do you think?" ”
"I also think that this Yan family looks like a big family, if it really means that, the young master is afraid that he will inevitably be angry over there, but ...... The young master will be fourteen after the New Year, so let the young master make his own decision! I think the young master's idea is very right. Shan Chixia said slowly.
Father Zheng coughed lightly twice, sighed, and said to the big head, "Good boy! Don't go against the Yan family in the future, no matter what......" The big head didn't wait for him to finish speaking, so he nodded vigorously, "Master, I understand." ”
With a hint of a smile on his pale face, Father Zheng said: "Big head, I know that you are a smart child, and I naturally expect the good official to find a gentle and graceful girl, but depending on the situation, the good official still has to wait for another two years." ”
"The young master has a momentum of soaring to the sky right now, I can't say, sixteen or seventeen years old in the middle of the people, in the early twenties, when the time comes, even if it is the daughter of the old family of the pavilion, our Zheng family is also qualified to ask, this Yan family, let's pretend not to know first!" Shan Chixia is an old man in the end, and she knows that the Yan family is probably fighting this idea, businessman! It's normal to see good things bought at a low price, but in two years, the young master of his own family will not be able to look down on the young lady of the merchant family.
When Daddy Zheng heard this, he felt that this was right, since the obedient official entered the school, his heart has become higher and higher, speaking of which, Daddy Zheng has a certain responsibility for painting fans, and he bought people back and was originally treated as a child daughter-in-law, but suddenly became a concubine, a wife and a concubine, equivalent to a phoenix and a hen, this gap is big, and it is strange to be balanced.
Shan Chixia has always felt that Miss Zheng and the young master are the kind of people who do not fly and have soared, although the young master is only thirteen years old, he has already confirmed the name of the celebrity, and now he is going south to Jiangnan, slowly writing some poems and singing books, and raising a hope in the Jiangnan where the literary style is full of literati, after a few years, take the exam, and in a few years, a Jinshi, whether it is to enter the Hanlin Academy or put a foreign official, the Zheng family can be regarded as an official eunuch, Miss Yan, although she is beautiful, she is older for the young master, and look at her appearance, It's not like it's too easy to talk, the three generations of the Zheng family are single, if you come in with a wife who is not allowed to take a concubine......
Shan Chixia thought of this, he shook his head slightly, he is old and sophisticated, he is used to the rivers and lakes, and he is still a little accurate in looking at people with confidence, and he has seen Miss Yan from a distance, although she is beautiful, her eyebrows run through her hair and temples, and she must have an arrogant temper.
Such an eldest lady, it's okay to be a concubine, but it's inevitable to be a wife......
However, letting the young lady of the Yan family be a concubine, Shan Chixia also felt a little ridiculous, seeing that the Yan family was also a rich party, how could she be willing to give her daughter to others as a concubine.
Moreover, Shan Chixia, like the big head, subconsciously has an aversion to those who are older than good officials because of the matter of painting fans.
The Zheng family here is discussing and pretending not to know, and the news that the Zheng family's little minister and his own lady seem to be arguing quickly reached the ears of the old housekeeper Yan Gan, the old housekeeper frowned, called He Maxiang, the leader of the boat, over, and strictly ordered the people below not to discuss, otherwise the family law will serve, and then report the matter to the old man [***].
When he heard this, he patted his forehead desperately with his palm, and wanted to go to his daughter's cabin to ask clearly, knowing that his daughter was thin-skinned, maybe he would be annoyed and angry when the time came, and even his father would eat a closed door, thinking about it and wanting to go, he tiptoed to the door of his daughter's cabin and knocked lightly twice, and after a while, Xiaoqian opened the hatch and saw his master standing at the hatch with his neck shrunk and sneakily.
"Xiaoqian, come on, come on, don't alarm Miss, come with me." [***] dragged the little maid to his cabin, only to find that the little maid's eyes were swollen, "This is...... Did you cry with Qingwei? ”
Xiao Qian's face was slightly red, she shook her head slightly, and said in a low voice: "After Miss comes back, let me not serve the young master of the Zheng family again, I ......" She said, her eyes were red, and she wanted to cry.
Ouch hey! What a daughter! [***] patted his head with the palm of his hand, walked back and forth a few steps, and asked Xiao Qian to explain the whole thing clearly, Xiao Qian said from beginning to end, Yan Shipowner carefully analyzed, felt that he had to blame himself for this matter, too impatient, Zheng Xiaoxianggong was only thirteen years old, and he may not understand that his daughter is a temper with eyes above the top, if he waits for another two years, then Zheng Xiaoxianggong may not be able to chase his daughter's reputation in Zhejiang, the teacher Mr. Qingteng Mr. Xu Wenchang, when the time comes, the daughter is afraid that she will not be able to take out the shelf above the top.
As the head of the Yan family, he can make the Yan family prosperous, and he is also skilled in the world, the truth between men and women is very clear, it is never advisable to raise the case with eyebrows, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind, even if it is a joint stock with others, it also scores a major shareholder and a small shareholder!
But there is one of the biggest contradictions here, waiting for Zheng Xiaoxiang's public name to chase after Mr. Qingteng Xu Wenchang, how old is his daughter? Although the Yan family is the leading maritime merchant in Ningbo, it does not mean that other businessmen are inferior to him, his Yan family is famous because he has been a scholar for several generations, and if others also look at the Zheng family's little minister, he may not have any advantage.
He really wanted to make it clear to his daughter: silly daughter, the icing on the cake is good when it comes to sending charcoal in the snow, finding a man and doing business is a truth.
But he also knew that if he really told his daughter these words, he would definitely be kicked out by his daughter.
Alas! He looked up to the sky and sighed, in the final analysis, he still read too much, and his brain was broken, and sure enough, it was like what people said, a demented woman.
It's so hard to be someone's father! It's much harder than buying and selling.
Ship Master Yan shook his head and sighed, seeing Xiao Qian standing in front of him with red eyes, he suddenly had an idea and thought of a brilliant idea.
"Xiao Qian!" He coughed dryly twice, and said to the little maid in a serious tone, "Do you remember when you started serving the young lady?" ”
Xiao Qian blinked her eyes and said, "I remember, when Xiao Qian was six years old, my father was sick, and once I hid in a corner of the garden and cried, and was seen by Miss, Miss saw me pitiful, so she asked me to serve in the room, and I have been following Miss since then." ”
"Miss Pingping is good to you?"
Xiao Qian nodded vigorously.
"Then, if I give you to the young minister of the Zheng family, you will ......" [***] tugged at his beard, pondered it in his mind, and used a relatively peaceful expression, "What will you do?" ”
Xiaoqian was stunned, put me? For the young master of the Zheng family?
Ship Master Yan looked at the little girl like a cunning fox, Xiao Qian had read a book in the end, but she didn't read a demented woman like Miss Yan, and she had seen a little bit of the world, even Mr. Qingteng Xu Wenchang and other world-leading celebrities have seen it, plus the young brain turned flexibly, after thinking about it, I immediately understood, for a while, I actually had a sense of excitement in my heart.
However, the little girl is not stupid, what does the old man think when she jumps up with a happy face?
Therefore, she sneered: "Master, you, do you think Xiaoqian didn't serve a good lady?" ”
[***] a little disappointed, oops, didn't answer to the point! However, if he can answer like this, he can be regarded as loyal, so he Yue said: "Master, I mean, I will give you to the young master of the Zheng family, you are serving over there, will you think about Miss!" ”
Xiao Qian nodded vigorously, her weeping shuangcui hair swayed up and down, and she was cute and cute, "Xiao Qian has never been separated from Miss since she was six years old, master, don't give me to others, I will serve Miss well for a lifetime." ”
What about that! It is a typical house-born tone, and the owner of the Yan boat is also an old fox, but unfortunately, he doesn't understand, the so-called lover forgets his father, not to mention that he is just a master, sometimes, the little white rabbit will also play the old fox.
The old fox smiled and stroked his beard, "Xiao Qian! You can also use other methods, and you can never be separated from the young lady. ”
Xiaoqian's eyes lit up, and sure enough, every woman was born an Oscar actress, "Master is saying, when I arrived at the Zheng family, I kept talking about Miss's goodness, if Young Master Zheng married Miss, I could never be separated from Miss, right!" ”
