Chapter 416: I don't know what the future is
After a drunken night, two things happened to Liang Shanbo before Chinese New Year's Eve.
The first thing was that the two fleets that had gone to Jeju Island returned to the cottage, and brought good news, the apprentice that Wang Lun had received not long ago was gradually recovering, indicating that things were developing in a good direction.
The second thing is that Wang Qing's envoy Ma Xun came to the cottage again, and it was inevitable that it would be another reception banquet, but fortunately, it coincided with the New Year at this time, and he was not afraid of being lively, but he was afraid of not being lively.
There is another thing that is not a big deal, that is, the old lady of the Ruan family Sanxiong heard that such a Peugeot girl came to the cottage, and heard the story of Wang Lun's gaffe in front of her from the mouth of the second and fifth children.
Wang Lun is scared, basically he doesn't show his head in the house, that's it, the leaders of the dials are still coming forward in an endless stream to say things, but it's a pity that Wang Lun just doesn't let go, in fact, he is like a mirror in his heart, this matter is not reliable.
According to his thinking from modern people, the premise of the union of two people is that they need to have feelings, not the popular matchmaking words of this era, two people have never seen each other, they must live together, and then slowly cultivate feelings. This model is difficult for Wang Lun to accept. Maybe he will compromise until one day in the future, but now he plans to hold on for a while.
The identities of the other two people are also a huge gap, one is the precious daughter of the prefect's family, and the other is the king of the mountain, even if they love each other, no matter how you look at it, it is a shocking relationship. Cheng Wanli will happily marry his baby girl to a grass coward unless his skull is broken. Of course, Wang Lun is determined to let Cheng Wan'er's family be ruined, and he also has this strength now, even if there is a famous general Wang Yu in the Qing Mansion. It's a pity that Wang Lun is not taboo about robbing money and food, but he can't do anything to rob women.
After thinking about this, Wang Lun is also down-to-earth, since he has no obvious purpose. The behavior is more sincere and frank, San I don't know and An Daoquan went to see the patient's condition, and talked to Cheng Wan'er from time to time, sometimes he was really attracted by many aspects of this stunning beauty in front of him, leading him to say his heart that he would never confide in people before.
This feeling is amazing, at least Wang Lun thinks so.
"You are a loser who can't make it, what am I doing to you, you say! You're mad at me! The shouting and scolding from outside the door made Wang Lun retract his thoughts, pushed open the door and went out alone, Jiao Ting was okay and ran to Lin Chong's house again, Wang Lun suddenly felt that it was a happy thing to be able to meet, fall in love, and stay together. Therefore, for Jiao Ting, who completed the first two steps, he provided all-round unconditional support and encouraged him to go to Jin'er if he had nothing to do.
When Wang Lun walked out of the house, the scolding outside had escalated into scolding, Wang Lun saw it and hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him, it turned out that Ma Xian's father who stayed in the cottage was teaching his son, Ma Xian couldn't bear the slightest anger outside, and at this time in front of his father, he was as docile as a sheep.
"Eliminate gas. Dissipate your anger, don't be angry with your body for the New Year! Wang Lun hurriedly grabbed the old man with the other leaders who went out to check, and persuaded him with good words.
"Brother. If you ask him to beat, if he doesn't beat him, he will feel uncomfortable, and if he doesn't feel well, he will get sick, or let him beat me. That's it! Ma Wei knelt on the ground and did not get up, but persuaded Wang Lundao.
"He won't feel sorry for beating you, and you didn't pick it up! Talking nonsense. Come, sit in my room, and speak! "Wang Lun is the host, these two are guests, you can't watch their father and son kill each other in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, just nothing, besides, there is still some time before the reunion dinner in the evening, it's good to ask clearly."
Ma Xian's father didn't have a temper in front of Wang Lun, and complained to Wang Lun vigorously, saying how his son was not good, Wang Lun said that he persuaded the father and son to come in, Xu Guanzhong and Xiao Jiasui also followed, and the five of them sat by the brazier, and Ma Xian's father began to count down his son:
"Since he was a child, he didn't read, he didn't read, he asked him to ask Mr., he scolded another one and ran away, and he couldn't teach the kind of student, and then he was a little older, and he stole the house before running outside and didn't know what to do, and finally took his younger brother out of the gram, and came back with a martial arts, I said okay, I have endured it all these years, I will ask him to go up, and he will be worthy of this ability! How do you know that these two unsuccessful ones went arrogantly, and came back with a disgraced face, Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu can't wait to ......"
Wang Lun listened for a long time and found that these things were all old things, according to the old man, he should have accepted the reality in his heart, how could he suddenly beat and scolded his son on Chinese New Year's Eve?
Ma Xun didn't say a word, and he didn't defend, the more the old man looked at it, the more angry he became, and he didn't stop talking for half an hour, Wang Lun, Xiao Jiasui, and Xu Guanzhong looked at each other, and they originally wanted to wait for him to breathe before persuading, but who knew that the old man was scolding more and more, and he didn't drink water or wheezing halfway, it seems that An Daoquan really cured his illness completely this time.
"Old man, drink saliva first, rest your breath, after all, the illness has just recovered, and you have just gone out for a walk......" Xu Guanzhong picked up a cup of hot tea and handed it to the old man.
This old man has lived in the cottage for more than half a year, it can be said that he watched Xu Guanzhong go up the mountain, and watched his status in the cottage increase day by day, he didn't dare to hold it up at the moment, and hurriedly thanked him for taking the water cup, and said: "Military advisor, I also hate iron and steel!" β
"Why do you hate iron and steel? My two brothers just don't invite you to see the old man? Ma Xun was scolded for a long time, and for the first time, he spoke up.
When the old man heard this, he became angry and said, "You said that you can't write or martial arts, what will you do in the future?" As soon as Lao Tzu's eyes are closed, he is dead and clean, so you don't have to worry about anything, but when will you two brothers call me cΔoxin? Your mother left early, I don't know who to talk to! The old man wiped his eyes, and tears ran down his fingers.
Ma Xian's heart softened again when he saw it, and begged: "If you have something to say, just say it, I don't know where to disobey your old man!" β
"You want me to say that?" The old man looked at his son and said.
"I said drip! Just say, my words count! Ma Xun patted his chest and said.
"Okay, call your brother over, Lao Tzu gave up this old face, begged the lord of the Wang Zhai, and took in you two unsuccessful!" The old man stood up suddenly.
As soon as the old man's voice fell, everyone was shocked, Wang Lun said in his heart that this Ma brother is indeed a rare hero, and Liang Shan also welcomes them to join. But he didn't use the curve to save the country, who was the wind blowing in his ears with him, could it be his three military advisors?
Xu Guanzhong and Xiao Jiasui were also surprised, secretly thinking that it was difficult for their brother to make some way to fail, the three of them looked at each other, and they all saw an expression on each other's faces: inexplicable.
Ma Xun was reckless on the outside, but he had the inner beauty of a Jinghu man, and his first reaction was to wonder if Liang Shanbo had done the work, and his eyes were unconsciously aimed at Wang Lun.
"Look at it, do you still suspect that Lao Tzu has never spoken to others? You figure it out now. It was I who begged the lord of the village to accept the two of you, not the lord of the village who asked me to let you go up the mountain, when Lao Tzu was so sick, no one else took advantage of the danger of others to force you to go up the mountain, you have to count in your heart? You really take yourself seriously! Lao Tzu scolded his son, his words were extremely sharp, but his mood was extremely licking.
Ma Xun lowered his head, thinking that this was indeed the case. Although his martial arts are more conceited, he can't count the leaders like himself on Liangshan with two hands, and if Wang Lun wants to go up the mountain by himself, there are thousands of ways. It doesn't have to be like this. Besides, Dad scolded for half an hour just now, it turned out that it was just foreshadowing, just to lead to the latter words, it really doesn't look like he was instructed by someone.
"Daddy. I told the lord of the Wang League, the manly man is full of words, how can he say that he can change. How can you gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes after you call the child like this! Don't talk about the two men of the Ma family, don't spurn death! Ma Xun said with a bitter face.
"I don't care about those, I just ask you, is it better to be the lord of the Wang League, or is it better to be the lord of the Wang Village?" The old man asked.
This question is called how to answer Ma Xian, saying that the owner of the Wang Zhai is a villain who can't be a sycophant in front of him, and that the master of the Wang League is a good father who is only afraid of being angry, so he had to say to the mud at the moment: "It's all ...... Good! β
"Okay, good, your wings are hard! I don't care about you, let me ask you again, is it true to the lord of the Wang League, or is the lord of the Wang Zhai true to the people? The old man stood up this time and glared at his son.
Ma Wei was in a dilemma, Wang Lun couldn't stand it anymore, got up and said: "Dad, I call you Daddy, don't dislike it!" β
"Where is the master of Wang Zhai, my old man has been here for almost a year, eat you, drink yours, and call the divine doctor to see a doctor, I wish there was a son like you!" Speaking of this, the old man's tears fell again, and he whimpered: "The two of them are not successful, even if they fall into the grass, they don't follow the right person, and Wang Qing, sooner or later, it will be the end of the family, I don't have a few years to live, I don't care about these, but the two of them are still young, the family has not been completed, and they will follow Wang ......Qing in the future."
The old man couldn't cry in the end, and pulled the horse and said: "Son, I asked you to cast Liangshan, nothing else, your brother will at least have a good end with the master of Wang Zhai, I can close my eyes even if I die!" I don't want you to have a future with Wang Qing, but I'm afraid that you will sell it to others and count the money for others. Wang Qing, this person, I also saw it that time, but he was just a mouthful, and he preferred the two of you to eat this set, and he was offered as a bodhisattva, I tell you, such a person, compared with the master of Wang Zhai, ......"
"Drink saliva, drink saliva!" Wang Lun hurriedly handed over a cup of tea, and the old man continued to speak, not only Ma Wei couldn't stand it, but he couldn't listen to it anymore, so he hurriedly interrupted the old man's words.
The old man took the water, but he didn't drink it, but just pulled Wang Lun and said, "Lord Wangzhai, you tell me the truth, my two sons can't do it!" β
"Okay, I didn't know them at the beginning, and my two sons are good men who stand up to the sky!" Wang Lun said truthfully, and he really thought the same way in his heart.
"Okay, my two sons threw themselves into the mountain, do you want it!" The old man did not hesitate.
"They came here of their own free will, so what else do they say? The key is ......" Before Wang Lun finished speaking, he was interrupted by the old man, only to see him pull his son and say, "Kneel!" β
Ma Wei couldn't, so he had to kneel down in front of Wang Lun, and Wang Lun's two military advisors hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and said: "If you have something to say, sit down and say it!" β
Seeing this, the old man didn't insist, and said, "You give a clear word, whether you come or not!" If I don't come, I don't have much to think about, so I jump into this 800-mile pool and feed the fish! β
Ma Xun was forced by his father, and said excitedly: "I don't know that the owner of Wang Zhai is better than the master of Wang Meng, I don't know that Liangshan is better than Fangshan, I don't know what the future is?" I'm just a spoon guy? But there are some things that people can't be too clever about, and the water that has been spilled out of what has been said cannot be taken back! The old man wants me to vote for Liangshan today, and if you can't keep it, what mountain will you want me to vote for in the future, and what kind of person will I become when the time comes! If he persecutes me, he will force me unjustly, and if my son is unjust. What face is there in the world? β
Hearing Ma Xun say this, Wang Lun secretly admired in his heart, but he didn't expect this man to understand when he saw it, it was really inconsistent with his rough appearance.
"Lao Tzu gave birth to the two of you, is it not as good as the two of you? Why do you vote for this today and which one for you tomorrow? Wang Qing, I asked you to vote? At the beginning, Lao Tzu saw that he was not a down-to-earth person, and when he said that you two, you still didn't listen! You say yes or no! A person like the owner of Wang Zhai, the second one in the world to find? Even if you can find it, Lao Tzu will not open this mouth again! The old man said angrily.
Ma Xun scolded him again so that he could not speak. Straight down his head and stopped talking, the old man was angry, so he grabbed the red-hot charcoal in the basin with his hand, Wang Lun's eyes were sharp, and he hurriedly pulled the old man back, Ma Xun saw this, and shouted: "Dad, what do you want!" β
"Lao Tzu grabbed the carbon and burned his eyes to blind it. lest I see what will happen to you! The old man gasped, held Wang Lun's hand and said, "I'...... I don't care about him, I don't care about him, he likes to go wherever he wants. I will die in Liangshan, you ...... Don't dislike me! β
"I don't have to say that, I want to live as long as I want!" Wang Lun patted the old man on his back. The old man nodded heavily. Pointing at Ma Xun and said, "You Ke, you Ke, go back to Wang Qing!" I risk you two such sons. Call me dead in a foreign land! β
Ma Wei sat on the ground dejectedly, silent for a long time, Wang Lun, Xiao Jiasui, and Xu Guanzhong were sandwiched between these two fathers and sons, no matter how they persuaded them, they had to pick up some irrelevant words, at this time Jiao Ting came back, and said in the door: "Brother, it's time to go to the reunion dinner!" β
When Ma Xun heard the word reunion, the eight-foot-tall man burst into tears like water, and cried heartbreakingly: "If Lao Tzu is without Lao Tzu, what is the meaning of living, Lao Tzu will not vote on either side, and he will take you to lie on Liangshan!" β
The old man almost ran out of breath to turn his back, but fortunately he asked Wang Lun to hold on, and he couldn't scold Ma Xun for a while, but he just pointed his finger at Ma Wei, trembling all over, Wang Lun hurriedly said: "Go with me for a reunion dinner, and my son will let him take a break here!" β
"Lord Wangzhai, you don't care about me, don't delay your cottage celebration because of me, I'm here, talk to him!" The old man finally held back for a long time and pleaded.
In the end, it was two fathers and sons, Wang Lun had no other way, so he had to persuade: "Haosheng said, no matter what happens to Ma Xun in the future, you can live in my cottage for as long as you want!" β
The old man just nodded, Wang Lun persuaded Ma Wei a few more words, and then took Jiao Ting and the two military advisors out of the house, the old man saw Wang Lun and them go away, closed the door, and said earnestly: "Ah! Listen to my advice, I won't hurt you, you don't know, I have lived in this cottage for more than half a year, I have seen no more things than you, the owner of Wang Zhai has nothing to say, you will not suffer if you follow him, what kind of person is Wang Qing, playing tricks, no one has compared with him before, and he looks like a dog, but with a real face, he will show his face! β
"Dad, I know everything you said, why do you want me to go to Liangshan?" Ma Xun was puzzled.
I was beaten and scolded just now, and the old man had no strength to toss, leaned back in his chair, and said slowly:
"Some time ago, I was in a panic, walking alone on the shore, and seeing the big boats coming in and out of this water, I asked people, where is this going, and at first I didn't say anything else, I found an Shen doctor, he is a real person, and he didn't hide it from me, just said that he was going to an island overseas, I am so old, what have I never seen? But I haven't seen what it's like overseas, and I don't know if there are any immortals, so I begged him to let me go to sea to see, go with the boat, go back with the boat, An Shen Doctor is really a good person, this matter did not alarm others, he went to tell their naval leader, and really asked me to take a boat! β
The old man talked for a long time, but Ma Xun didn't understand what he meant, and wondered, "Does this matter?" β
"Don't make a noise, listen to me!" The old man snorted, and then continued: "I've been at sea for almost ten days, and I've really arrived at a place, the leader of the navy called Ruan Xiaoqi really takes care of me, and asks his subordinates to take me around, I don't know if I don't know, and I turn my heart away, what I'm most worried about in my life, is the future of the two of you, I have always felt that this is an ethereal thing, I can't see it or catch it, but Lao Tzu saw it with his own eyes that day!" β
"What the hell did you see?" Ma Wei was puzzled.
"Did Lao Tzu see me? Lao Tzu saw tens of thousands of people begging for a living there, and every family had a hundred acres of land, and by the way, there were cattle! Lao Tzu also met two hunters in the mountains, like you, they are two brothers, and now they are all dignified group practitioners, you say, what I want to do in my life, it's not to see that you two have a chance. Why don't you wake up, you say......" After the old man finished speaking, he hugged his head and cried.
Ma Xun also covered his tears and said: "Dad, there are some things I really can't do, today I am responsible for people, tomorrow I will be responsible for me, I am really backwater, the lord of the Wang Zhai will also look down on me, this matter, I really can't rely on you!" β
The old man knew his son too well, and the more he spoke, the more flat his tone became. That means that the more there is no negotiation, there is no way to do it immediately, and crying bitterly: "Why are you stupid, ......?"
"Dad, let's go back!" Ma Xun begged.
"You go, I said, I'm going to die here!" The old man's heart was also dead, and his face was extremely pale, as if he had aged a few years for a while.
Ma Xun saw that his liver was broken, and he leaned back. Lying on the cold stone bricks, he looked at the roof and said, "That's only according to what I said just now, I won't vote on either side, I'll go back this time." Just say goodbye to the lord of the Wang League, come and take care of you, my cottage is gone, I don't want anything......"
β¦β¦
Wang Lun and the two military advisors walked on the road. They all had a tacit understanding and did not mention what had just happened. But not mentioning it doesn't mean that you don't have ideas in your heart.
At least Xiao Jiasui was meditating in his heart at this time, this matter was really not as simple as Ma Xian's father thought just now, just thinking about his son's future. At the very least, this matter involves the relationship between the two major forces. At the beginning, in order to kick Wang Qingliang's muscles, he personally participated in the cottage, and the situation was so tense at that time that he almost did it on both sides. If the two brothers come over this time, it is really difficult to say what the relationship between the two sides will become. What's more, with Ma Xun's kind of character, even if he came over, he was afraid that he would never be able to think about it, which is probably the main reason for Wang Lun's unclear attitude. After all, this cottage is all brothers who are willing to go up the mountain, and they have never forced a person who is unwilling to go up the mountain to go up the mountain, even if the person who persists is not himself, but his father.
"Brother, wait for the little brother!" At this time, Du Qian came from the path and shouted.
"What about your family?" Wang Lun saw Du Qian coming alone, and asked. This reunion dinner is no different from others, and family members must participate.
"The old lady is grinding and chirping, and I'll come over by myself later!" Du Qian said with a smile.
"In front of our little sister-in-law, do you dare to say it again?" Xu Guanzhong quipped.
"Isn't she not here!" Du Qian said with a smile.
Wang Lun shook his head and smiled, looked at the full moon in the sky, and sighed: "There are still many brothers who have not come back outside, otherwise they would have a meal together, how lively!" β
"Yes! Zou Yuan is in Yizhou, guarding our silver mine, Lehe is in Tokyo, giving us eyes, staring at every move of the imperial court, Zhu Fu and Yang Lin went down the mountain, and went to Guan Sheng, Shan Tingjue, Wei Dingguo and their families, and Mr. Wen took many brothers to Jeju Island, one point is so far! Xiao Jiasui pulled her thoughts back from other people's family affairs and sighed.
"They at least have a letter, the difference is also temporary, what I am thinking about now is Master Guanghui, he has been in Xixia for so long, it has been two years, and there is no news at all, I hope nothing will happen to him!" Wang Lun sighed, because he came to this world, Guanghui got rid of the fate of becoming a human meat steamed bun filling, but he didn't show up for so long, he couldn't help but worry Wang Lun again, he wouldn't be pulled back by the strong inertia of fate?
"Ji Ren has his own natural appearance, God told him to meet his brother, to escape this catastrophe, it must be a catastrophe and not die, there will be a blessing, let's wait, maybe we can wait for him!" Xiao Jiasui said persuadly.
"Well, for the Chinese New Year, let's say some auspicious words, I hope that next year's New Year, Master Guanghui will be able to drink wine and eat meat with us!" Wang Lun nodded.
"You've all forgotten that there are four more brothers!" Du Qian sold Guan Zidao. ", Red Whisker Dragon Fei Bao, Curly-haired Tiger Ni Yun, Yangtze Jiao Buqing, Thin-faced Xiong Di Cheng, if these four heroes know that we have no conscience, we must ask them to pour wine!" Du Qian said with a smile.
"It's not that I forgot them, but they're coming back soon, the cottage has already received their letters, and it is estimated that in less than three or five days, Ni Yun will come back early!" Wang Lun said with a smile.
"Brother, I said what the hell did you send them for, the gods are mysterious, and they don't say a good thing!" Du Qian complained.
"Ni Yun is back, I know if there is an eyebrow for what I asked them to do, if it is successful, it must be a big leap for my cottage, if it is not successful, it is useless to say!" Wang Lun shook his head and smiled.
"That's it, I won't ask, I still hope they come back soon!" Du Qian sighed, paused for a while, and couldn't help but say: "Brother, we have a big business now, and the cottage spends money like running water, you have to think of a way for the younger brother!" β
"You know how to force me!" Wang Lun spread his hands and said, "Forcing debts on the night of the thirtieth night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, it's better to do it!" β
Du Qian laughed and said, "Who has the ability to force me!" Besides, if I don't force you, brother, the brothers who ask me for money every day can force me to death! The money is given to them, and they may still say behind their backs that I am an iron rooster, and I don't pull out a dime! β
"Where you can save it, you can save it, and where you can't save it, you must not save it! For example, the pension of the brothers, the cottage is to smash the pot and sell iron, and it cannot be owed to them, this is the foundation of our cottage, and it must not be shaken," Wang Lun said seriously when he heard this.
"I know, I know, the little brother still knows this thing, for example, this time the cottage is in the Yunzhou War, and the financial situation is completely unseized, except for horses, armor, knives and guns, etc., the sum of the silver money is only tens of thousands, I said that the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, why did we go out to fight with Master Guan to bring such a little money!" Du Qian's tone was quite bitter.
"Field battles are like this, you think that every time is a siege battle, you can have a lot of gains!" Wang Lun said angrily: "Guan Sheng is a cottage brother, you should be careful when you speak, don't hurt your family's harmony!" β
"Nothing else, just kidding! But brother, to be honest, it's better to fight less in such a battle, and this time the loss of the cottage is not small, and the pension has not been seized much! Du Qian nodded.
"It's not a question of whether I want to fight or not, it's that the court is forcing you to fight!" Wang Lun sighed and said, "So that thing must be taken out of the hands as much as possible, otherwise batches of people and horses will come over, and it will also annoy us!" β
Xu Guanzhong and Xiao Jiasui both thought so, but now the news from Hedong and Jiangnan can't come so quickly, it's just that they found an urgent opportunity, these two places are too far apart, and whether they can grasp it for a while is really a big problem. I believe that Wang Lun has also been worrying about this matter, and the two of them can't bear to point out their words again, which makes Wang Lun anxious.
The five of them stood in front of the Juyi Hall and talked for a while, Wang Lun went in to take a look, and saw that there were still a small number of people who did not come, found Song Wan from the crowd, and instructed him: "Cheng Wan'er's family finally found our cottage, and stayed here for the New Year, you make a good meal and send it to others, which can be regarded as a little heart of our cottage!" β
"Delle, I know, they are absolutely indispensable! Brother, don't worry, I will personally send it over, and I will definitely bring my brother's heart! Song Wan said with a smile.
"It's the heart of the cottage!" Wang Lun corrected.
Song Wan laughed and said goodbye to Wang Lun, but he took three or two steps, but turned back and said: "Originally, the old man wanted to send Cheng Xiaoniang home, I don't know why Cheng Xiaoniang didn't leave, I think my brother still has to seize this opportunity!" β
"I know this, where is it like you said, the old man wants to send Cheng Xiaoniang, and I am worried that Xiaohuan will not be able to take care of her mother in the cottage alone, if Cheng Xiaoniang goes back alone, it will not be safe on the road......" Wang Lun said and said that it didn't feel right, and said: "I need to explain it to you, go!" β
Song Wan laughed, slipped faster than a mouse, and immediately called a few men who sent food to the Juyi Hall, selected a few good dishes, and called them to go to the backyard with him. β
It didn't take long for the little lady Cheng to open them, and Song Wan came up with a horse face and said, "Little lady, we have met, and I still remember that I hung the lantern at the foot of the mountain that day!" No, when you come to our cottage, it is fate, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, we as hosts can't treat guests slowly, these drinks and dishes are the heart of our village owner, and I hope the girl smiles! Song Wan really did what he said, and he only said that it was Wang Lun's intention, and he didn't mention the cottage at all.
18,000 words to give back to the heroes! Maybe it's nothing to others, the rivers and lakes are already exhausted. (To be continued......)
