Chapter Twenty-Four: The Third Son's Way of Helping Others
Wu Shan saw that the third son of his family looked at the back of Dr. Kong thoughtfully, and said, "Third son, let's get on the sedan chair." ”
When he arrived in the sedan chair, Wu Shan heard his third son's elongated voice and said, "Wu Shan, do you think this son is pathetic, ridiculous, and pitiful?" ”
He glanced at his third son, but saw that the corners of his mouth were hooked, as if he was smiling.
It seemed that he was not angry at all because of Dr. Kong's words just now.
"If the third prince is sad and ridiculous, then am I even more pathetic and ridiculous?"
While the two were talking, Wang Lu had already gotten up the sedan chair, and was about to drive the carriage to the south, when he heard the third son of his family say: "Wang Lu, you drive the carriage to the intersection in front of you and wait there for a while......
"Yes, the third prince ......" After Wang Lu got up the sedan chair, he drove the carriage to the intersection.
At the intersection, you can see Qingzhi, who has turned onto another road, pulling the child forward.
Next, she took the child to a shop selling groceries, bought a packet of frosting from the store, squatted down and handed it to the child, and stroked his hair.
The child smiled and ran away with the frosting.
"Third son, why did the child saved by Dr. Kong suddenly become so happy?"
"Why can't he be happy, he gets the reward he deserves, and he is naturally happy."
"What do you mean?"
"The remuneration for acting."
"What, acting? How do you know the third son? ”
"Otherwise, what do you think his grandmother is so sick that he doesn't cry at home, crying alone on the side street, why?"
Wu Shan now understands why his third son stopped here, "But, why is he acting?" ”
"Think for yourself......"
"I can't figure it out, but."
"Then don't think about ......"
Wu Shan knew that his third son didn't seem to plan to tell him the truth, so he didn't ask anymore.
Wu Shan looked down the street again, but saw that the child had run away, and Dr. Kong had already left the original snack shop.
I saw that Dr. Kong went to a small shop again, bought some pastries, and then bought some vegetables and fruits at a vegetable and fruit shop next to him.
Carrying the sack full of these, she walked forward.
Wu Shan was puzzled, the direction that Dr. Kong was walking was not in the direction of his house, but in the north.
I only heard the third son of his family say to Wang Lu: "After Dr. Kong turns the intersection, you stop at the intersection where she turned." ”
"Yes."
So the carriage waited at every intersection until Dr. Kong disappeared at the intersection before turning to another.
So I followed the twists and turns and came to an alley.
The alley was narrow, and most of the houses in it were dilapidated, so I saw Dr. Kong walking in the alley, and soon turned into a dilapidated house in the alley.
Lu Shikang said to Wang Lu: "Get up the sedan chair, leave here for the time being, and go to the intersection over there." ”
So Wang Lu drove the sedan chair out of the alley and arrived at the next intersection.
This intersection is a little far from the house that Dr. Kong just turned into, but he can see everything in that alley.
After a while, Dr. Kong walked out of the house, and then her back disappeared on another street corner.
This time, her direction was back to Kong's house.
Wu Shan was puzzled: "Third son, why do you want to follow Dr. Kong?" ”
"Guess." His third son replied to him briefly.
"I can't guess." He felt as if he had become stupid now, "Then now are we going to go into the house of the person who Dr. Kong went to just now?" ”
"You're still not stupid."
Wu Shan touched his head, and he didn't know if his third son was praising himself or something else.
When Wang Lu drove the carriage to the house where Dr. Kong had just entered, Wu Shan found that there was only one old woman living here.
"Old lady, what was Dr. Kong doing just now?" Wu Shan helped his third son and asked.
"He came to see me. I was sick a few days ago, and when he saw a doctor, Dr. Kong not only didn't ask for my money, but also put a few taels of silver on my table, and Mrs. Kong was also very good, he just sent me some food, afraid that my hands and feet would be inconvenient, and helped me fetch water. I will not be able to repay him for his kindness in my life......" replied the old woman, standing at the door of the hall, looking at the three men with her eyes, as if she did not understand what they had come for.
When she looked at Lu Shikang, she seemed to wonder that there was such a beautiful son with outstanding demeanor and temperament in this world.
He stood in the dilapidated courtyard of his house, which seemed to give birth to some brilliance.
After Lu Shikang left the door of the old woman's room, when he was in the alley, he said to Wu Shan: "Wu Shan, in the future, you will come here to help this old man carry water and materials." ”
"What? Me again? Wu Shan pouted.
He still remembers that a few years ago, he and the third prince met an old man who broke his leg due to a slippery road due to snow on the streets in a cold winter blizzard.
The third prince sent him to send the old man to the pharmacy, and sent himself to pay for the medical bills. What made him even more helpless was that his third son also asked him to take care of this old man for several months. He couldn't get off the ground because of his bone injuries, and he had no children to take care of him.
The only way for the third son of his family to do good deeds occasionally is that he should drink wine and drink tea and drink tea, but let his little guy run around and be busy.
That year, he could run around in the Lu Mansion and the old man's house for hundreds of days, braving the wind and snow to go back and forth in the cold weather, every day as soon as he woke up, he had to go to the old man's house to help him cook, and after feeding the old man, he had to go back to the Lu Mansion to serve the third prince to prepare clothes for him to go out, and at noon he had to go to the old man's house to cook, and after lunch, he had to go back to serve the third son to drink the afternoon wine, and in the evening he had to go to the old man's house to cook, and then he returned to the Lu Mansion It was already dark and accompanied the third son to play chess.
In those days, he didn't stop for a moment.
After braving the cold wind and heavy snow and working for hundreds of days, in the end, his third son only asked him if the old man was okay, and after he answered, there was no follow-up, and he didn't even say a word to himself.
Now that I think about it, it's all a bitter tear.
So Wu Shan never expected that his third son would have a whim this time and want to help others. And the way he helps others must be that he should drink and drink wine, drink tea and drink tea, and let him run errands.
The corners of his mouth pursed, "Third son, can you send Wednesday this time?" I took care of the old man last time, and it's time for a change this time......"
You can't just drag one person to work.
"I can't."
Wu Shan pouted and didn't speak.
He's a little more diligent than Wednesday, but he can't be diligent and can't do everything himself.
However, he thought of one thing at this time, that is, on Liuzuo Street just now, Dr. Kong's statement about his third son was biased.
The third prince is not really a selfish person who only cares about his own life and death.
But just now, his third son didn't talk about this with Dr. Kong.
The third son of his own family is like this, and others misunderstand it.
To let others comment and misunderstand is to be too lazy to justify a word for yourself.
He knew that if the third prince argued with reason in front of Dr. Kong, then he would not be the third son.
And he can't do it himself, if someone wrongs him, he will definitely fight for it.
This may be the reason why the third son is chic, but he can't be chic.
