Chapter 16: Breaking the Barrier 4
After Zhuang Zhengde and the others came out of Monday, Zhuang Zhengde told Old Man Bai to wait for him to go back and think about it for a few days, and then he would also call Old Man Bai to discuss with Zhuang Yun about studying in Zhong Yunshan.
When it was almost noon, Zhuang Zhengde and Xie Cong and Dong Li also returned to the county office. After Zhuang Yun came back from class, he saw that these children were exhausted, but he felt that Zhuang Zhengde's mood did not look as heavy as before. Zhuang Yun didn't ask, thinking that Zhuang Zhengde's matter should be done relatively smoothly, no matter whether this work is done or not, at least he is asking for comfort.
Dong Li ate a few bites of lunch, then confessed to Zhuang Yun and went back to the west wing to rest first. Today's strength of the old immortal's upper body made Dong Li feel that her body was really unbearable. In fact, when offering incense, Dong Li already felt that she had reached the critical point of dispersing her work, and as a younger brother, the sooner she did, the better. After all, the immortal family is all animal cultivators, and there is still a lot of rejection with the human body.
But then again, there are good and bad sides to everything. After this morning's high-intensity outing, Dong Li feels that her ability has improved a lot, although she can't figure out how much she has improved, but this opportunity still needs to be digested slowly, and how much she can digest depends on her ability.
Dong Li knew in her heart that this Golden Dragon Tragic King was different from these other old immortal families in Tangkou, and those who could become the tragic king of the family must be a mighty general who died on the battlefield during his lifetime, not to mention being able to lead troops to fight, but also strong in martial arts. Therefore, after death, he did not enter reincarnation, and gradually cultivated into a great ghost immortal, and was invited by his ancestors to sit in the hall.
Generally speaking, the Golden Dragon Sorrow King and the Silver Dragon Sorrow King will not go to the younger brother horse to do errands, and do more errands in the family hall. Today, it happened that Old Man Bai was also there, so he gave Zhuang Zhengde such a high standard, and also gave Dong Li this opportunity, so that Dong Li could be one step faster on the road of cultivation.
Zhuang Zhengde ate unhurriedly, Zhuang Yun didn't bother, just chewed slowly and waited for Zhuang Zhengde to speak, Xie Cong's eating appearance was a little exaggerated, like a starving ghost reincarnated, eating the wind and clouds, in fact, Xie Cong was also covering up, since he meditated down to eat, the two fathers and sons ate their own, no one spoke, no one looked at anyone. Xie Cong had no choice but to gobble it up to cover up his embarrassment.
Zhuang Zhengde inked for a long time, and when he saw that the old man was not ready to speak, he raised his head first, "Dad, this morning, my cousin, cousin, and Uncle Bai have shown me what happened, and Uncle Bai said that it was all solved, and it was no big problem." My cousin-in-law also invited them to the Golden Dragon Sorrow King, and later Mrs. Hu San also came. I also saw our Qin Yellow Earth Lord coming, and he said his name was Zhou Zhoucai. There was only one Xianjia Cave Mansion on Monday, I don't know where it was repaired, anyway, he opened a small door with a wave of his hand and invited us to sit in. ”
Zhuang Yun listened to Zhuang Zhengde's chatter on the side, and he didn't say anything, just lowered his head to eat.
Zhuang Zhengde paused, and when he saw that Zhuang Yun didn't care, he continued to nag, "Mom, I also went to this netherworld once, it was very scary, and a lot of voices made me stay." Later, this Golden Dragon Sorrow King appeared and took me out, and I almost couldn't get out. Later, Mrs. Hu also came, tearing up the ceiling of Zhou Cai's house, and she was half angry on Monday. It made a few of us laugh so much that we didn't dare to laugh. ”
Zhuang Zhengde secretly looked at Zhuang Yun as he spoke, but the old county magistrate still had that expression, eating unhurriedly, without even raising his eyes. Zhuang Zhengde felt that the more he talked, the more weak he became, and he didn't dare to continue talking.
In fact, Zhuang Zhengde wasted so many words, just to tell the old county order about Zhong Yunshan's learning of art, but there was no foreshadowing, for fear that the old county order would refuse.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Zhengde felt that he stretched out his head and shrunk his head anyway, and he didn't eat anything, so he put down his chopsticks, sat upright, and turned his head to stare at the old county order, "Dad, let's get down to business." ”
When Zhuang Yun heard this, he also put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, looked at Zhuang Zhengde with straight eyes, and nodded for Zhuang Zhengde to continue.
"Dad, I've watched a lot of it these days, and I've experienced these strange things. The child is not young anymore, and he has now mixed back to the original point. I heard Uncle Bai say that I can go to Zhongyun Mountain to learn art and learn from their routine, and I can become a person like Uncle Bai in the future and keep one side safe. Dad, this child really can't pass the imperial examination, and maybe it's not that material. I wanted to make a business, but it turned out to be like this, Dad, the child really doesn't want to go on in the muddy. I just want to be able to learn a skill and benefit the people. The child also wants to be a person like his father, and he can't go on this Yangguan Road, so the child will walk on this single-plank bridge. Dad, I'm done, how do you think about it? ”
Zhuang Yun pondered for a long time, with thousands of thoughts in his head, this Zhongyun Mountain has also heard of it, but it is only limited to folklore, it is said that there are masters living on this mountain, such as the gods can turn the clouds and rain, take off and drive the clouds, Zhuang Yun was not very interested in this kind of thing, just listen to the old man in the city after tea and dinner, "Consider it?" What is there to consider? How much hardship and how many sins have you suffered when you go up the mountain to learn art, your father has brought you up single-handedly, how many catties and taels can you eat, and your father doesn't know? I advise you to dispel this idea as soon as possible, or read a good book at home, and prepare to continue the imperial examination. This foreign school father won't let you go, and you're not that material. It's even worse to enlist in the army, with your size, I'm afraid that people won't be able to run if they don't chase you when they start a war. Dad doesn't agree with this, so you can think about something else to do. ”
When Zhuang Zhengde heard his father's words, he withered for a long time. It is true that Zhuang Zhengde has no advantages and disadvantages since he was a child, but fortunately, he has always listened to the words of the old county order, as long as the old county order opens his mouth to control and let Zhuang Zhengde go east, Zhuang Zhengde does not dare to go west, "Dad, but ......"
Zhuang Yun waved his hand impatiently, "No, but what's it, you can eat and rest." I'm also ready to take a nap, it's a hot day. Ask the kitchen to clean up, and the old man will take a sip of tea and take a lunch break. Xie Cong, are you afraid to hold on to it if you eat again? Hurry back and take care of Dong Li, how tired she is, I really don't know how distressed people are! ”
Zhuang Zhengde saw that the old county order was angry, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he got up and went back to the house with a few mouthfuls of food. Xie Cong was actually a little unable to eat for a long time, but seeing the father and son coming and going, Xie Cong didn't dare to interject, so he could only hold back and eat hard. As soon as he heard the old county order's words, he hurriedly got up and sent the serious-faced uncle-in-law back to the main house, and the old county order who settled down took a lunch break.
Zhuang Zhengde sat in the room and sulked for a long time, and the sleepiness that had just finished eating came up, and his brain couldn't catch up with it, so he hurriedly lay down and fell asleep.
I don't know how long I slept, but when I heard someone outside the house shouting Zhuang Zhengde's name, Zhuang Zhengde got up in a daze and rubbed his face with his hands. After a while, the shout got closer and closer, Zhuang Zhengde got up and cleaned up a little, and walked to the courtyard. When I saw the person who came, it was Lao Wang, the official of the Qinhuang County Post Station, Lao Wang was in his forties, and he had been working as a post envoy for more than 20 years. Listening to the old county order, it is a tolerance handed down from the family.
Zhuang Zhengde clasped his fists and saluted, and Lao Wang did not delay, "Zhuang Gongzi, there is your letter, which was sent from Taizhou Mansion." I have other homes to send, so don't bother. After that, he stuffed the letter into Zhuang Zhengde's hand, and without waiting for Zhuang Zhengde to speak, he turned his head and ran away.
At Lao Wang's speed, Zhuang Zhengde was a little confused, and he had just woken up and was in a daze. When I heard that this letter came from Taizhou Mansion, it was a little strange. Zhuang Zhengde has been back to Qinhuang County for a while, and he has not received a letter from a friend in Taizhou Mansion, and I don't know if these people have been drinking all day and forgot Zhuang Zhengde.
Zhuang Zhengde picked up the letter and flipped through it, but he didn't see a signature, but there was a Juanxiu font on the envelope, which said that Zhuang Zhengde of Qinhuang County had opened it personally. Zhuang Zhengde looked at the font and couldn't remember which friend sent it. Looking up, it was already afternoon, and it seemed that I was really tired this morning, and I had slept for so long.
Zhuang Zhengde took the letter back to the house, took a knife to cut the fruit, cut the seal, took out the letter and read it.
-------------------------------------
Zhuang Gongzi is well:
I haven't seen him for a long time, and Xiaoyue misses Zhuang Gongzi a little. In the past six months, Xiaoyue has been plagued by diseases, and she has not been cured for a long time, and her body is deteriorating day by day, and she is afraid that her life will not be long. Xiaoyue has been in Taizhou Mansion for several years, thanks to Zhuang Gongzi's care, Xiaoyue is grateful.
Today's letter is to hope that Gongzi can take a day or two to come to Taizhou Mansion to talk to Xiaoyue, and Xiaoyue will die without regrets.
Childe Wanfu.
-------------------------------------
With these few figures, Zhuang Zhengde was shocked into a cold sweat. This Xiaoyue is the first woman Zhuang Zhengde knew when he was dipped in this Qinglou flower wine. This woman is not very old, has a cheerful personality, and is very loved by Zhuang Zhengde. Zhuang Zhengde has a stinky problem, he only drinks and does not occupy himself, and he has become a friend of Xiaoyue girl. When outsiders and friends saw it, they all clamored for Zhuang Zhengde to redeem Xiaoyue and marry her home. In fact, Zhuang Zhengde also wanted to, but with the temper of the old county order, marrying back to Zhuang Zhengde as a daughter-in-law is estimated to be able to get the soul of the old county order out of the body.
Zhuang Zhengde recalled the days when he was in Taizhou Mansion with Xiaoyue girl, although this girl was a woman, she had never been stingy when she drank, and she was not drunk and let Zhuang Zhengde carry her into the room. But all along, Zhuang Zhengde felt that Miss Xiaoyue's body was very good and there was no big problem. This little moon girl is young, even if she drinks too much, she will only have an upset stomach, so she will not have the worry about her life as mentioned in today's letter.
Zhuang Zhengde put down the letter, thought carefully for a long time, and thought about these evil and crooked things he had encountered in the past few days, and had a rough idea in his heart. Whether it's a real illness or a virtual illness, after all, you still have to go and see if you know each other and have a deep friendship.
Zhuang Zhengde got up and went out, and after looking for a long time in the county office, he didn't find the old county order, so he had to give up. Wait for the old county order to come back from work in the evening, and find an excuse to talk to the old county order.
Zhuang Zhengde looked at the west wing, his cousin and sister-in-law had never gone out, and they were probably still resting in the room. I was a little bored for a while, so I went back to the room, lay on the bed and thought about how to tell the old county order so that I could go to Taizhou Mansion. But she can't tell the truth, this Qinglou woman let the old county order know, and she didn't pick up Zhuang Zhengde's skin? Anyway, this Taizhou Mansion has to go to it, and this Xiaoyue girl also has to see it, thinking about it, Zhuang Zhengde's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he fell asleep again.
