Chapter 7: Goodbye Bai Chongwen 2
Zhuang Zhengde was a little confused about the situation for a while, but for observing words and feelings, Zhuang Zhengde has also learned a little skill under the influence of his father Zhuang Yun for so many years.
When the old county Ling Zhuang Yun was forty-five years old, he was actually already a fourth-grade and a Xizhou Daotai. It's just that the smoke was rampant at that time, and the people were not able to make a living, Zhuang Yun was an honest official, and he didn't want to do those things with small people. As a result, he was set by the villain, stuffed a lot of silver into the prefect, and was punished by the prefect, and was demoted three levels in a row, from the fourth grade to the seventh grade, and went to Qinhuang County, which is under the jurisdiction of Xizhou, to make a county order.
has been an official for decades, and Zhuang Yun is naturally familiar with the matter of seeing people's hearts and minds, observing words and feelings. is to sit and eat with a table of people, just listen to a few words, look at a few eyes, Zhuang Yun can see who has enmity with whom and who has grudges with whom at this table.
When Zhuang Zhengde was young, he was already exposed to it.
In fact, when Zhuang Zhengde was a child, his figure was also very thin, although he was generally tall, but his appearance was quite delicate. But then when he was twelve years old, he had a serious illness, and after taking the pills of a Western doctor, his weight skyrocketed. has become the little chubby brother in the mouth of his cousin-in-law now.
Zhuang Zhengde noticed that his cousin and sister-in-law were sitting in danger, very serious. Don't dare to talk nonsense, savor the reason on the side.
Xie Cong was about to continue speaking, Dong Li quietly kicked Xie Cong under the table, "Mr. Bai, Brother Cong and I are here to accumulate merit for the Immortal Family, and we have no other intentions. I didn't say hello to Mr. Bai in advance, and I was offended, and I hope Mr. Bai won't blame him. ”
When Zhuang Zhengde heard this, he was even more confused. Isn't this Mr. Bai a teacher? Why do my cousins and sisters-in-law have to say hello to Mr. Bai first? Besides, haven't you already said hello to the land lord?
Mr. Bai waved his hand and smiled slightly, "It's okay, Zhengde, you go home first, if your father will be fine, please come over and talk about it." I'll talk to your cousin and sister-in-law again. ”
Although Zhuang Zhengde didn't want to leave, he still obediently got up to say hello and went out.
Probably Qi felt that Zhuang Zhengde had gone away, so Dong Li pulled Xie Cong up, knelt on the ground, and bowed three kneels and nine bows to Mr. Bai.
Mr. Bai didn't speak, but sat on the stone bench and received the gift of the two.
Xie Cong and Dong Li, after the two worshipped, they spoke in unison.
"Mr. White Big!"
Mr. Bai motioned for the two of them to get up, and pointed to the stone bench next to him, "You two sit down and talk, Fang Caizhengde is here, there is a lot of inconvenience, and there is no need to be polite." The two little friends came from afar, and it was very hard all the way. For the safety of the people in the Quartet, he has a heavy responsibility. He is also a role model for my generation! ”
Hearing Mr. Bai's praise, Xie Cong and Dong Li felt that it was worth it for so many years of sleeping in the open air, and they had worked tirelessly.
Xie Cong and Dong Li, who have traveled all over the world for so many years, are accustomed to seeing the incomprehension in the eyes of outsiders and the ridicule in the mouths of others, and they have long been accustomed to it. In the current situation, most people sweep the snow in front of their own doors, and they don't care about the snow of others. Born in troubled times, there are still people who do not want to make a lot of money and enrich their own pockets, but go to travel all over the world and work hard to benefit the Quartet, this kind of person is simply a fool in the eyes of others.
No matter how strong the wind and rain are or how many difficulties there are, Xie Cong and Dong Li have never given up the faith in their hearts, and they have never complained because of this.
In life, everyone has their own position, no matter whether they are high or obscure, as long as they are firm in their ideals and work hard for their beliefs, there will always be rewards. This kind of reward is not necessarily a white flower, for those who are clear about their mission and adhere to their beliefs, often a positive word is better than gold and silver.
For Xie Cong and Dong Li, seeing the sick person gradually getting better after each trip, and the relieved smiles of the patient's family are more than everything. Yellow and white are things outside the body, which are not brought in life or taken away in death. If you can leave a legendary story for future generations to praise, you can also engrave your name on the epitaph, without worrying about being spurned and forgotten by future generations.
Although Xie Cong and Dong Li are vulgar people in the countryside, in their hearts, they unswervingly believe that they can have huge spiritual wealth, which will always be better than things outside their bodies.
The two got up, wiped the corners of their eyes, and sat down next to Mr. Bai, without their previous restraints.
Dong Li returned to her usual unobtrusive appearance, looking at Mr. Bai with a flattering smile; After Xie Cong sat down, he just felt that his hands and feet should not be put anywhere, and a big man with a horse face showed the appearance of a shy woman, which made Mr. Bai laugh when he saw it.
"Two little friends, don't be restrained, my old man Bai is just an ordinary person, with two eyes and a mouth, and two nostrils towards the legs. Ha ha. ”
When Dong Li heard Mr. Bai's words, she also laughed wildly, looked at Xie Cong's restrained appearance, and patted Xie Cong on the shoulder a few times. Xie Cong, who was in pain, grinned his teeth and didn't dare to speak.
Dong Li opened her mouth and said, "Alas, Mom, now I'm seeing a real person, I used to just listen to the elders in our family, saying that Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Hu told them that there is a master in this pass, Mr. Erlang Zhenjun Baida, this time I see the real person, Mom, I have to go back to the Northeast to brag with their old immortals." ”
Xie Cong listened and nodded, "Yes, yes, yes, that must be, must be." Mom, I wonder if I'm dreaming. As soon as my cousin Zhengde left just now, this Third Master Hu came and said to the two of us, Mom, at that time, both of us had tendons in our legs and stomachs. After so many years, I have never invited the ancestors of my family. This is really stained with Mr. Baida's light, so that the two of us can see our ancestors. Mr. Bai Da, don't be surprised, Dong Li and I are both rough people in the mountains, don't eat thin noodles, and don't know how to be polite. Don't be surprised. ”
Old man Bai is a little helpless, my old man is not a three-headed and six-armed man-eating monster, so he doesn't have to eat steamed porridge and small pickles every day. It's no different from ordinary people, why is it so exaggerated?
Old Man Bai smiled self-deprecatingly, "You two little young men, you Third Master Hu came here just now and I know that I have already greeted him." Everyone is for the well-being of the people and for the benefit of the Quartet. There is no difference in status, as long as the purpose is the same, then they are all their own friends. Inside and out, family, family. ”
Old Man Bai's words, Xie Cong and Dong Li couldn't help but want to cry, as early as when Xie and Dong were young, they had heard the elders of the family speak. Mr. Bai Da in Guannai is a big man, and he has been friends with the two ancestors of Hu San Taiye and Hu San Tai Grandma for a long time, and they are called each other's best friends. Although Mr. Bai Da abides by the rules and never goes to do things outside the customs. But after entering Shanhaiguan, there is nothing that Mr. Big can't hold.
Regarding the identity of Old Man Bai, the family elders of the disciples of the Northeast have only talked about so much. What exactly the deeds were, but it is not known. But this kind of big words came from the mouth of the top old immortal family of the Inner Five Immortal Family, and it must be very reliable, and there is no doubt about it.
For Xie Cong and Dong Li, being able to be called Mr. Big in the industry has reached the point of reaching the peak. Although I don't know how these ordinary people have such powerful abilities, for the husband and wife at the bottom of this list, it is already an unattainable existence.
Xie Cong wanted to speak and stopped, for disciples like Xie Cong and Dong Li with low mana, there were very few insiders of the industry that the elders of the family could popularize for the two, and occasionally hearing a little bit was already regarded as burning high incense.
Xie Cong especially wanted to talk more about Mr. Bai Da and listen to Mr. Bai Da's past and some anecdotes about subjugating demons and eliminating demons.
Old man Bai is old and refined, how could he not see Xie Cong's careful thoughts? "Two little friends, there are no trivial matters for the old man today, it will be early, you two sit well, how about sitting with me Bai Laohan and chatting?"
Dong Li felt that she was about to be beautiful, and Xie Cong's face was even more red.
In life, even if you don't have faith and ideals, there is always an idol role model. Whether it is within the 360 lines or outside the 360 lines, as long as you meet the big names in your own industry, who is not excited to cry.
Being able to have such a close contact with your own role model, not to mention that people will give you a point or two, so that you can improve your way. Even a few small talks can always benefit you a lot.
Dong Li looked up at the sun, and came out of the door at about three o'clock, and now it is only a little more than two hours at most, "Mr. Baida, that junior can be entrusted, Brother Cong and I will accompany you to chat, just relive when my grandfather told me stories when I was a child." ”
Dong Li's words are very useful in the heart of the old man Bai, the older a person is, the more he likes to contact with young people, first, the old man Bai is kind-hearted and likes to be young. The second is that Xie Cong and Dong Li are also good offspring and juniors who are knowledgeable and gifted. This also made Old Man Bai feel that although it was a troubled time, it had not reached the point where everyone was unpopular.
Old Man Bai was very happy, turned his head and looked at the little boy and the little pug who didn't know where to play, and he was not worried.
Old Man Bai looked back at Xie Cong and said with a smile, "In the future life, you are also married to a good daughter-in-law, who can speak well and have a kind heart." Look at my righteous nephew again, it's really worrying. Don't say that my hands are high and my eyes are low, I met him the day before yesterday and he was full of alcohol, and I really hate that iron is not steel. If he wants to have the spirit of the two of you, he is also a material that can be made. It's just that I think he's a little disheartened now, hey, it's unbearable. ”
Xie Cong was very happy when he heard Mr. Bai Da praising himself again, oh, and his wife, and heard Mr. Bai Da talk about his cousin Zhengde, and then said, "Mr. Bai Da doesn't have to worry, although the two of us are shallow, we have seen that my cousin Zhengde is dusty in his heart, although I don't know what happened, but we have promised Zhengde that after finishing the affairs of the Cao family, we will break the test for him." Zhengde became like this, and he is also to blame, although it is difficult to persuade the damned ghost with good words, the person who is compassionate and does not cross himself. But Zhengde has not yet come to that point, and we will definitely do our best to help him. I just hope that Mr. Bai Da doesn't think that the two of us Guan Gong are playing big knives in front of them, that thing is embarrassing. ”
Dong Li didn't disturb the conversation between the two, got up and went to the second door of the courtyard to pick up a pot of tea, brewed it, and poured a cup for each of the three of them.
Old Man Bai was a little melancholy, but he felt relieved, "It's okay, it's all a family, don't talk about two families." Besides, no matter how deep or shallow this line is, as long as the mind is right, there is no Guan Gong big knife, you two let go of your hands and feet to do it, there is a problem that cannot be solved, my old man can go out at any time! ”
Old Man Bai has already seen Zhuang Zhengde's problem, but some things are inconvenient to break, Old Man Bai has borne too much cause and effect, although I am for everyone and everyone is for me, but karma is entangled, and it has also made Old Man Bai suffer, and the current problem, Xie Cong and Dong Li are capable enough to solve it.
At this time, Zhuang Zhengde arrived with the old county order, and saw that the three people in the courtyard were talking happily, Zhuang Yun also hurriedly walked to the table, and Lao Bai, who had not seen him for many years, was still red and refreshed. Zhuang Yun sighed and sighed that the years have gone by.
Old Man Bai looked at Zhuang Yun and secretly observed, feeling that this old man was in good health, and his two eyebrows and feet were extended outward, and he was faintly looking long-lived, and he was also very pleased.
Old Man Bai greeted him and pulled Zhuang Yun to sit down, while Zhuang Zhengde stood upright and did not interject.
Zhuang Yun was very happy to see his old friend, "Brother Bai, I have ordered the wine and food in Qinhuang Restaurant by the way, and the big guy will eat here at noon, let's drink a few cups, I haven't seen each other for a long time, and we will reminisce about the old days." This person is getting old, and his friends are getting fewer and fewer, and the years are not forgiving! ”
Old Man Bai nodded and said, "Since Brother Zhuang and Zhengde are also here, then let's make a pot of stew, and by the way, let Zhengde also understand." Zhengde, you can be regarded as half a foot in the door now, and there is nothing to hide from you. It was also my old man who was worried about it before. ”
Zhuang Zhengde was still like a child in front of the elders, nodding frequently like a chicken pecking rice.
