Long Fengyi, under the strong influence of Zhao Shuxian, married He Wenxuan, who didn't like it. Under the management of her mother Jiang Cuilian, Markham Yu married Feng Jingyang, the small boss of "Beautiful Silk Village". Lei Tianen, who has a successful career, with the secret help of his parents Long Ye and Jiang Cuilian, married Dai Xiaocen, the daughter of Dai Jifeng, the principal of Beichen School, - the three brothers and sisters have become wives and wives.

Lei Tianen, Long Fengyi, and Wan Jinyu have married and started a family, what happened to Long Zhengyi's "younger brother" who is one year younger than Long Fengyi? Let's focus on Zhao Shuxian's "born" baby son Long Zhengyi.

Good trees produce good peaches, and bad plants produce bad seedlings. This Long Zhengyi is the bloodline of Zhao Tong and Shan Wushuang in the end - he is a natural "rusty talent". This "rusty talent" Long Zhengyi is like a fly falling in a honey pot, constantly fluttering and tossing; has stirred up the Dragon Mansion for decades; also ruined half of the Long family.

When Long Zhengyi was very young, he liked to go to the door of the movie theater not far from his home to "touch the color". The so-called "touching color" is to put some gadgets, such as jade bracelets, jade pendants (all fake) copper locks, silver locks (silver-plated), gold locks (brass), wooden swords, copper swords, copper bells of various specifications and styles, copper knives, clay portraits of the twelve lives, all kinds of pendants, etc., on a big red cloth. There are also bamboo pieces about the size of mahjong, with the names of various small objects and "empty doors" written on them, all placed in a cloth bag with a closure.

"Touching" people spend a copper plate, can feel a bamboo block from the cloth bag with a mouth, and what is written on the bamboo block can get something. Of course, there are a lot of "empty doors" inside the cloth bag! Therefore, people who "touch the lottery" often pick up a few copper plates, but they can't touch the same thing.

One day, seven-year-old Long Zhengyi took more than a dozen copper plates and took his servant You Taisha to the door of the cinema to "touch the lottery". Maybe he didn't worship the God of Gambling that day, and gave the boss more than a dozen copper plates, only touching a copper lock and three small pendants; Long Zhengyi was so angry that he wanted to make a big profit, but he had no money on him. He asked You Taisha if he had any money, and You Taisha said that he didn't have any money on him (You Taisha didn't dare to raise Long Zhengyi to gamble; The second is that he is afraid that Long Zhengyi will forget to return it after borrowing it, and it will be difficult to ask for it).

Long Zhengyi was on fire, and suddenly saw a thin uncle holding a pistol pointed at the head of Wang Liuzi, the stall owner of "Touching Color", and said:

"You guy, you're so black-hearted! This little young master spent more than a dozen copper plates and only touched a copper lock and three small pendants; You're not shaving your head, you're a murderer! ”

"Good...... Hero! You...... Listen to me......" Wang Liuzi saw someone pointing a gun to his head, and he was so frightened that he couldn't even speak.

"I don't listen to you! But you've listened to me! From now on, whenever this little young master comes to touch the lottery, a copper plate touches two bamboo blocks, do you hear? ”

"Listen...... Heard it! Wang Liuzi said tremblingly.

"Then you repeat what I just said."

"From ...... From now on, where this ...... This little master came to touch the lottery, and a copper plate touched two bamboo blocks. Wang Liuzi repeated the thin man's words like a phonograph.

"Hmmm! The memory is pretty good. But you have to remember for me forever in the future, if you don't do what I say once, then I will smash your stall! Do you believe it or not? ”

"Believe it, believe it! I promise to do what you say, or you'll smash my stall. Wang Liuzi resignedly repeated.

"Come on! This little young master come here, did you hear what I just said to this person? The thin uncle with the gun called Long Zhengyi to him and asked with a pleasant face.

"I hear you!" Long Zhengyi was excited.

"Then tell me what I said."

"Uncle said, I touched the lottery later, and one copper plate touched two bamboo pieces; If he doesn't do what you say, then you'll smash his stall! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! The little master is right! You then touch the lottery, a copper plate touches two bamboo pieces; If he doesn't do what I say, I'll smash his stall. Come! Starting from today, you have just given him fifteen copper plates, and you should touch thirty bamboo pieces, but you have only touched fifteen bamboo pieces, and you should touch fifteen more bamboo pieces; You go and touch it again! I'm watching you touch! ”

Long Zhengyi walked triumphantly towards Wang Liuzi, Wang Liuzi hurriedly stretched out the color pocket, Long Zhengyi grabbed a few handfuls before he grabbed fifteen bamboo pieces - a total of a "silver lock", a copper tiger, a "golden rooster" (brass), two small copper knives, as well as a few iron generals and small pendants, only touched four "empty doors".

Long Zhengyi was very happy, and after nodding his head and thanking the uncle, he asked You Taisha to go home with the victory.

Since then, as long as Long Zhengyi goes to "touch the color", it is a copper plate to touch two bamboo blocks; And there are fewer "empty doors" touched - Long Zhengyi admires and thanks the thin uncle from the bottom of his heart.

One day, when Long Zhengyi touched a few small pendants and walked back, the thin uncle suddenly called out to him:

"Hey! Little master! Would you like to have something fun? ”

"What do you mean to be fun?" Long Zhengyi asked puzzled.

"You'll find out with me!" The thin uncle said as he pulled Long Zhengyi to the west, and You Taisha couldn't stop him.

Long Zhengyi followed the thin uncle to a place in Hexi where a casino was not like a casino, and a teahouse was not like a teahouse, only to see that there were tables there, and people were crowded around each table.

There is a deck of playing cards in the center of the table, and the two people who participate in the gambling can draw a card from it at will, and then turn it over and take a look, the big one wins, the small one loses, and the loss is given to a copper plate at a time.

This gambling method is very simple, and the gambling capital is not large, which aroused Long Zhengyi's great interest, and he immediately invested in gambling - in just a few moments, Long Zhengyi won dozens of copper plates (this is what Uncle Thin ordered his subordinates to let Long Zhengyi win, intended to make Long Zhengyi happy and interested).

Long Zhengyi, who ate the sweetness, has been out of control since then, as long as he is free, he will take time to take You Taisha to Hexi to gamble. Of course, whether he won or lost, he didn't allow You Taisha to go back to tell the truth, he just said that he was going to Hexi to play.

As the saying goes: "When you are young, you steal needles, and when you grow up, you steal gold." Long Zhengyi gambled a little when he was a child, and as he grew older, his "gambling addiction" gradually grew - he was no longer satisfied with this simple gambling. At this time, the thin uncle led him to the big casino to play the big one like rain in time. But he gambled in a large casino, and the god of gambling didn't favor him so much - Long Zhengyi first gambled and lost his New Year's money and pocket money; I had no money, so I asked my mother Zhao Shuxian; If you can't get to your mother, you will set up a name and ask Steward Feng for it - Long Zhengyi's gambling addiction is getting bigger and bigger.

Who is this skinny uncle who "cares" about Long Zhengyi? This thin uncle is Long Zhengyi's biological father Zhao Tong, he always cares about his own flesh and blood Long Zhengyi, and does not let Long Zhengyi be bullied by anyone. Moreover, Zhao Tong, who is happy to gamble and addicted to gambling, also let Long Zhengyi get involved in the casino; As long as Long Zhengyi is happy, it doesn't matter if he wins or loses - anyway, Long Mansion has money.

What is this Zhao Tong, who was expelled by Master Long before, doing now? How could there be a pistol? Zhao Tong is now the team leader of the "Heavenly Dao Hall". What "Heavenly Daodo"? It is the "Heavenly Dao Hall" of the "Golden Triangle".

In the southwest of Jiangzhou City, there is a Shuanglong Mountain that runs east-west. The mountains and rivers of Shuanglong Mountain converge at the east head of the mountain, "Longkou", forming a lake with a water area of more than 800 square kilometers, which is called Longtan by the world.

The water of Longtan is then divided into two streams and extends eastward, flowing into the sea. One in the south is called Lijiang (commonly known as Nanjiang), one in the north is called Danjiang (commonly known as Beijiang), and the plain between the two rivers is the beautiful and rich Jiangzhou City.

At the fork of Lijiang and Danjiang, there is a "delta" with an area of less than 100 square kilometers, known as the "Golden Triangle". This "Golden Triangle" is the throat of Jiangzhou - the mountain people on Shuanglong Mountain want to sell mountain goods, the fishermen on Longtan want to sell aquatic products, the mountain people and fishermen want to go to Jiangzhou City to buy daily necessities, and the people of Jiangzhou want to enter Longtan and Shuanglong Mountain, all of which have to pass through here.

On the delta lies a "gang", the leader of which is known as the Snow Leopard.

The leopard in the snow has opened a fragrant hall (the so-called "opening the incense hall" is a long story, and the origin can be traced back to the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Luo Zu unveiled the emperor's list, and said that he retreated from the arrogant "Nanban" with his three-inch tongue; When the "Southern Barbarians" retreated, Qianlong wanted to give Luo Zu the title, but Luo Zu did not accept it, and still returned to the mountains and forests. Later, Weng, Qian, and Pan traveled thousands of miles to find Luo Zu to apprentice, and knelt until "the red snow is waist-high, and the grass roots are in the knees" before they saw Luo Zu, so they opened the incense hall to accept the three of them as apprentices. Later, the more mysterious it became, the more complicated the ritual became, and a number of "chapters" of "three halls", "six parts", and "twenty-four characters" were also set, which will not be discussed here. There are more than 1,500 formal apprentices, and there are 5 or 600 "supernumerary" minions who are attached to them, and there are more than 2,000 people combined. The gang has thousands of long guns and short guns, countless bullets, and a lot of money.

The gang of people under the leopard in the snow usually specialize in roadblock robbery and abduction; However, the main targets are corrupt officials and lawless rich businessmen; Sometimes they also help the poor and do some good deeds; Therefore, the leopard in the snow gave himself the nickname of "Tiandaotang", which was for the meaning of Tiandao.

How do you comment on the snow leopard and its minions of the "Tiandaotang" hero and the horse? What about saying that they are heroes who rob the rich and help the poor? Or are they outlaws who disturb the social order? It's hard to define. Why is it so hard to define? Because this kind of thing has always been unclear and unclear. Its "defining criteria" are all defined by "political needs" or "needs of those in power" - those in power "say hello" and "need you to be good", and you will be good to heaven; Those in power "say you are bad" and "need you to be bad", and you will be very bad. Therefore, we have no question about the leopard in the snow.

Readers may remember that as early as the beginning of the opening of Long Ye's "Guangji Pharmacy", Zhao Shuxian interceded with Long Ye: let Long Zaitian accept her cousin, Zhao Tong, who was expelled from the "Tiandao Hall", and help in the pharmacy. Because he was his brother-in-law, Long Ye had to agree to the matter.

This Zhao Tong, since he was a child, has been mixed with a group of indiscreet people, eating, drinking, gambling and addiction, and after marrying Shan Wushuang, he still has a bad habit.

After Zhao Tong entered the "Guangji Pharmacy", the old habits did not converge, and as soon as he got his salary, he sent it to the casino. Although Long Ye gave him more salary than others, it was still a drop in the bucket in that gold cave. Therefore, he often feels overstretched, and he often thinks about how to make money.

Qiu Baichuan, the bookkeeper of "Guangji Pharmacy", because his son Qiu Fenghan had an argument with the rich boy Wu Lisheng at school, Qiu Fenghan accidentally tore Wu Lisheng's silk clothes, and the fat teacher who "hated the poor and loved the rich" asked Qiu Fenghan to compensate ten silver yuan. Qiu Fenghan's father Qiu Baichuan couldn't afford to scrape up the money, so he went to the account room of the "Guangji Pharmacy" in the middle of the night and wanted to borrow four silver yuan to compensate the family first, but was blocked by Zhao Tong in the store. Zhao Tong extorted money and took all the copper coins and eight silver yuan in Qiu Baichuan's account desk drawer.

Later, Qiu Baichuan confessed the whole story to Long Ye's original confession, and Long Ye was merciful and did not dismiss Qiu Baichuan, nor did he want Qiu Baichuan to return the four silver dollars and the silver yuan and copper coins that Zhao Tong took; resolutely dismissed Zhao Tong; Zhao Tong held a grudge against him.

When Long Ye opened the second "Guangji Pharmacy", Zhao Tong once burst out with a terrifying sentence with a murderous face: "Hmph! No matter how many shops you open, in the future, your Long family's property will be my son's. ”

Zhao Tong, who was dismissed by Long Ye, was cornered, so he asked someone to intercede with his face, and once again took refuge under the command of the leopard in the snow in the "Golden Triangle".

After two years of painstaking management, Zhao Tong's little ghost was promoted to Chenghuang - mixed up with the position of team leader in the "Tiandao Hall". Because Zhao Tong is thin and black, and he can do light work, people gave him a nickname called "Black Bat".

After the "black bat" Zhao Tong became the captain of the team, he had a lot of "income", so he encircled a piece of land and built a good courtyard.

In front of the courtyard of Zhao Tong's house are two high-level tiled houses with seven beams, and behind it is a small garden. Although the garden is not large, it is also small and exquisite. The garden is surrounded by a circle of verdant holly trees, which define the inside and outside of the garden. On the inside of the holly tree, there are "stone tables" and "stone benches" made of terrazzo.

In the center of the garden is an oval-shaped pond with various patterns of colored stones and terrazzo tiles pasted inside and out. Patches of duckweed float on the water surface of the pool; There are many kinds of fish chattering and playing under the duckweed.

The pond is surrounded by four plane trees, which act like an umbrella to protect the pool and shield it from the sun's rays.

With the pond as the center, eight cobblestone paths in the shape of "m" extend in eight directions at equal angles, dividing the entire small garden into eight small gardens. Each small garden is planted with one or two or three or four flowers of different names and colors; Among them are peonies, peonies, roses, roses, pomegranates, grapes, orchids, chrysanthemums, plum blossoms, moon flowers, jasmine, strings of red, beauty coke, evergreen, red coral, as well as iron trees, jade trees, peach trees, pear trees, apricot trees, apple trees and so on. It can be said that there are many kinds of tricks, both high and low.

Ladies and gentlemen! Don't look at Zhao Tong's current residence in a high hall tile house, as well as a garden pool; And his parents still live in the big snail house of the chicken's coop, and they are still crumbling.

Ay! In this world! There are many things where the effort is proportional to the income. For example, farmers farm, plough and reap; Workers work, a penny of effort, a penny of remuneration; Businessmen do business, every penny of capital and every penny of profit; This is also true of study and scientific research.

But the giving and recycling, giving and receiving, raising and supporting, hope and reality between the upper and lower generations are not necessarily like this! Some of them are directly proportional, some are not, and some are even inversely proportional. The saying "the stick beats the filial son, and the habitual rebellious child" is the meaning of "often inversely proportional".

In January 2003, I was collecting wind in Hangzhou, and I saw that Hangzhou's "Daily Business Daily" had a continuous report, talking about the daughter-in-law's disobedience to her parents (in-laws). The large picture and text show that the richly dressed and wealthy daughter-in-law lives in a tall and luxurious villa; Under the corner of the luxury villa is a broken pig barn that can neither block the wind nor the rain. And the two emaciated old men (their parents and in-laws) have been living in it for more than ten years. The neighbors were angry, so they reported "110" and the media. Regrettably, after more than 10 days of follow-up reports, there has been no satisfactory progress in this matter. At that time, I wrote a poem in Xia, which probably went something like this:

The Venerable Master is thrifty and extravagant,

The old man lives in the juvenile building;

Food, clothing, housing and transportation are very different,

The daughter-in-law is plump and the parents are thin.

Of course, bad sons and bad daughters-in-law are in the minority after all; Good sons and daughters-in-law are still the majority. There are even parents who do not care about their children, do not care for them, do not raise them, and do not cultivate them; often scolds and often adds punches and kicks. But when the child grew up, he had the ability to do something, but he put his parents on his head and was filial.

No further ado! Let's say that as early as when Zhao Tong first entered the "Tiandao Hall", he often "patrolled" in Dongcheng District, Jiangzhou, while caring about everything about his biological son Long Zhengyi. Therefore, there is also the aforementioned "The thin uncle took a pistol and pointed it at the stall owner Wang Liuzi, and asked Long Zhengyi to touch a copper plate twice; Later, Long Zhengyi was introduced into large casinos for high gambling. "Thing.

Zhao Tong, who likes gambling, lured Long Zhengyi to embark on the road of gambling; And the long-bellied master taught Long Zhengyi to take the path of light.

Although Long Ye was a little suspicious of Long Zhengyi's "origin", he was still very concerned about Long Zhengyi's growth. Long Ye not only cared about Long Zhengyi in material and life, but also paid special attention to the cultivation of Long Zhengyi's ideological character, quality and outlook on life after Long Zhengyi was ten years old. He earnestly taught Long Zhengyi a lot of principles of life, and put forward many requirements for living in the world, which can be described as painstaking and tireless.

On the walls on both sides of the hall of the West Building of the Dragon Mansion (the old lady and the old lady live in the East Building, Zhao Shuxian lives in the West Building, and Qin Keqing lives in the front building), there are ten delicately framed banners. Its contents are all philosophical quotes of historical celebrities, as well as the aphorisms of the dragon under the heavens, including:

If you learn without thinking, you will be reckless, and if you think without learning, you will die. — Confucius

The rich cannot be lewd, the poor and the lowly cannot be moved, and the mighty cannot be bent. — Mencius

The industry is good at diligence and frolic, and the line is successful in thinking and destroying. — Han Yu

Perseverance, gold and stone can be carved. — Xun condition

Those who are extravagant and lazy are poor, and those who are hard and diligent are rich. —Han Fei

It is not easy to think about where a meal and a porridge come from, and it is difficult to think about the material resources of half a thread and half a wisp. —Zhu Bailu

Quiet to self-cultivation, thrifty to cultivate virtue. —Zhuge Liang

Success is due to diligence and thrift, and failure is due to luxury. —Li Shangyin

Make friends and read a lot of books. — The dragon in the sky

Expensive and constant, why bother sleeping three times and five watches; The most useless, I am afraid of being exposed to the cold for ten days a day. — The dragon in the sky

These famous sayings and aphorisms were carefully selected by Long Ye and carefully conceived by himself, and they all contain the deep meaning of the warning. He asked his baby son Long Zhengyi and the later Qin Keqing born Long Tianci, Long Tianwei, and Long Tiangang (Qin Keqing gave birth to Long Tianci when he was twenty-five years old; Ten years later, at the age of thirty-five, another son named Long Tianwei was born; At the age of thirty-eight, he had another son named Long Tiangang), who can use this as an aphorism for life and a creed for life, and remember to practice it, so that he can develop his strengths and avoid weaknesses on the road of life, work hard, and become a pillar of society with both ability and political integrity, and a descendant of the Long family who glorifies his ancestors.

Ladies and gentlemen! Famous quotes and family mottos are an important part of my traditional Chinese culture. "Zhuzi's family motto" and "Yan's family motto" are like thunder and thunder, like a mirror hanging; Stories such as "Meng's mother chooses her neighbor" and "mother-in-law's tattoo" are well-known, all of which show the good intentions of strict fathers and mothers who hope that their sons will become successful.

The mother of Tao Kan in the Jin Dynasty said to her son who was an official many times: "You have given me a lot of good things to enjoy as an official, but this not only cannot make me enjoy its benefits, but it increases my sorrow." ”

Lu Longqi of the Qing Dynasty also said to his son: "I hope you study hard not to seek wealth and nobility, but to let you understand the truth of being a noble person through reading, so as not to become an ordinary person." Reading and being a person are not two different things. ”

These family precepts are all wise sayings, and these family precepts full of love and wisdom have an immeasurable role and great contribution to the formation of the elite of the Chinese nation.

However, nothing is absolute. Some parents can get their wishes, and their children will become dragons and phoenixes. Some are not satisfactory, and their children are perverse. Throughout history, there have been countless virtuous fathers begetting foolish sons, and foolish sons begetting virtuous grandchildren. Emperor Nayao is a virtuous king through the ages, but his son is not successful; Emperor Shun's father was a small musician and a blind man, but he gave birth to such a sage and sage; But Emperor Shun's son was not good, so he had to give up the throne like Emperor Yao, and pass on the virtuous but not the son.

Yu's father, Kun, was fierce by nature and attacked good people, and was later killed because of his failure to control the water. But Dayu ruled the water but "passed the door three times and did not return", which was recited for future generations. However, his son Kai, after inheriting his father's throne, seized the throne, and since then Chan Rang has been replaced by hereditary.

and the Ying Zheng who unified the six countries, is really a statesman with great talent and great ability. He founded a great cause, proclaimed himself the First Emperor, and was bent on the second and third emperors...... Passed down from generation to generation. But in the hands of his son Hu Hai, he only served for three years, and the emperor cut off the country he had conquered.

Liu Bei, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, was originally a poor boy who made a living by selling straw sandals. After taking refuge in Gongsun Zhan, he got an official position. Soon he attached himself to Liu Biao. Later, Zhuge Liang laid the foundation of Shu Han, achieved a hegemony, and stood with Cao Cao and Sun Quan. But his son Liu Chan is a mediocre and ignorant mentally handicapped child.

Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian, who fought in the south and in the north, unified the whole country, and also wanted the Yang family to live for thousands of years. But his son Yang Guang ** his beloved concubine Mrs. Chen when he was sick and did not die. After Mrs. Chen broke free, she returned to Emperor Wen of Sui, and Emperor Wen of Sui saw that her expression was different, and repeatedly asked what was the matter? Mrs. Chen had to tell the truth with tears. When Emperor Wen of Sui heard this, he beat the bed in anger and scolded the beasts, and he must abolish Yang Guang and re-establish his eldest son Yang Yong as the crown prince. However, he was poisoned by Yang Guang first and gave his life. That night, Yang Guang ** Mrs. Chen; Later, the Yang family was also the second and did not exist.

Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, once painstakingly wrote the twelve articles of "Emperor Fan" ("Jun Ti", "Jianqin", "Seeking Talents", "Judges", "Admonitions", "Defamation", "Caution", "Chongjian", "Reward and Punishment", "Farming", "Reading Martial Arts", "Chongwen") to the crown prince Li Zhi; and showed up to say, listing the merits and demerits of his life one by one, and earnestly admonishing the prince to learn from his own advantages and never imitate his own shortcomings.

Tang Taizong also asked the crown prince to take the ancient holy king as a teacher, "people like me are not worthy of emulation." For "he who imitates the superior can only attain the medium; Those who imitate the medium will inevitably become inferior." It can be seen that Tang Taizong Li Shimin has put a lot of effort into educating the crown prince Li Zhi. However, before Li Zhi could wait for Tang Taizong to die, he played Li Shimin's talented Wu Zetian. Later, the queen was abolished, and Wu Zetian was the queen; In the end, the Li family was given to the Wu family.

The dragon is in the sky and knows Chinese history well. He thought, if the emperor's family is still like this, how can we and ordinary people be out of the ordinary? As far as my Long family is concerned, my great-grandfather Long Xianzu used to be a six-grade scholar in Jiangzhou Mansion, and his grandfather Long Yuetan used to worship Wupin Tongzhi, and his father Long Qingyun is currently a teacher in Jiangzhou Mansion and belongs to the seven-rank official rank.

And he has loved poetry and books since he was a child, and he can be regarded as erudite and talented, but after he was promoted, he never became an official. After opening a pharmacy and a money bank, it is still considered to be prosperous and rich; The so-called lost east, harvested mulberry, that's all. But this baby son Long Zhengyi is...... Alas! In the past 30 years in Hedong and Hexi, Mo laughed at the poor and wore rags. Sixty years of Jiazi upside down, how do you know what about your children?

Since Mr. Wang Mingyuan left, Long Ye didn't want to find a tutor, so he personally guided his baby son to read and study. But because Long Ye opened two "Guangji Pharmacy" and a "Yongxing Money Village", as well as an ancestral "Hengtai Commercial Bank", there are many things to ask in person; He was afraid that he would miss Long Zhengyi's studies, so Long Ye hired an old gentleman named Xu Yafu to educate Long Zhengyi.

Long Zhengyi also learned a lot of things under Mr. Xu's proximity, and he knew a little about the three emperors and five emperors, astronomy and geography; Poetry is right, and a splash of ink can also make do; When you go to the society or attend a party to attend a banquet and other public occasions, you can also quote scriptures and talk loudly; Therefore, at a young age, he is already a little "famous" in Dongcheng District, Jiangzhou.

Liu Zhiji, the author of "Stone", once said: "In this world, there are many people who do not follow the right path, and those who follow the evil path." Long Ye is very concerned about cultivating Long Zhengyi; But Long Zhengyi did the opposite.
