Chapter Fifty-Six: Returning Home for the First Time After Joining the Army

Jiang Mei is such a character in Zhang Meng's heart - saying that she loves her, but she can't say it; If you don't love her, you can't say it.

If Zhang Meng doesn't love Jiang Mei, then let him divorce Jiang Mei now, from the bottom of his heart, Zhang Meng will resolutely not agree - he feels that the divorce is sorry for her and can't leave.

is that Jiang Mei will have three long and two short in the future, and she will not be able to live a normal married life with Zhang Meng, and Zhang Meng will not divorce him.

Zhang Meng felt that he was responsible for Jiang Mei and her life.

In the face of this reality, Zhang Meng also felt conflicted - he couldn't say that he loved Jiang Mei, but he felt that he was responsible for Jiang Mei and her life.

Since Zhang Meng felt contradictory, he often thought about finding the reason, and after thinking about it, he felt that he had done a good job with Jiang Mei and met the requirements of the sage.

Didn't the saints of the past generations put forward the requirements of "self-cultivation, Qi family, ruling the country and leveling the world" for men in the world? I don't love Jiang Mei, but I still decided to be responsible for Jiang Mei's life, which is in line with the requirements of "self-cultivation and Qi family" mentioned by the sage.

Self-cultivation is to strengthen one's self-cultivation in all aspects and strive to make oneself a person who is responsible for oneself and others.

Only such a person can take care of all members of his family and make his family prosperous and prosperous, which also fulfills the requirement of "Qi family".

Zhang Meng thought: "I have traveled over and come to the Three Kingdoms period, and now I have begun to govern the country and level the world, but I still have to cultivate myself well and not forget my family."

There is no time, there is no way, loyalty and filial piety can't be both, but as long as there is a chance, I have to come back and go home to see. Look at how your family is doing, and try to help your family live well. ”

So, just when Zhang Meng hadn't come to the Danqukou Post Station, Zhang Meng decided to squeeze some time and rest here for a few days, so that they could live in this post station and I would go home by myself.

Zhang Meng decided to go home by himself to take a look, and thought again: "It's been half a year since I went out, and I should have mixed up a look, just like this, I went home alone empty-handed, not like that."

This will make the parents unhappy, and they have to bring a servant, take Ma San'er, hehe, there is a guard who has to wait before and after the horse, and this is called getting ahead. ”

Zhang Meng thought of this, and then thought of Gao Ling and Liu Ying, "Why don't you take them home and have a look, so that the old lady can see me come back with two beauties, and the old lady will definitely secretly exaggerate that I have the ability!" ”

Another thought: "Nonsense." Going home with two beauties, how to explain in front of Jiang Mei, looking for anger and fighting! ”

Although Zhang Meng felt that Jiang Mei would not behave too out of line, but, "It's been half a year since I became a monk, and I don't know how to mix, so I brought back two goblins, Jiang Mei must be cold in her heart." Forget it, don't take Gao Ling and Liu Ying home. Let them stay in the inn and wait for me for a few days. ”

In this way, in the past few days, there are only Gao Ling Liu Ying and the kind Han Yutong left in the post station, thinking of this, Zhang Meng suddenly became vigilant: "In three or four days, just the three of them live here, Han Yutong is so kind and quiet, if he has evil thoughts, let me sleep Gao Ling Liu Ying, but how is it good?" ”

Zhang Meng thought of this for a while, laughed out loud, and secretly scolded himself: "It's really cranky, is it so simple?" Said to sleep and slept.

Han Yutong is not such a person, just say that it is such a person, with me, does he dare? My two beauties, who dares to move for me, don't want to live? ”

While speaking, he came to the Danqukou Station, Zhang Meng finished handling the matter, and said to Han Yutong: "Han Zhuangshi is resting here these days, I have official business to deal with, I'm afraid it will take a few days." ”

Zhang Meng became worried again when he said this, worried that if he had been away from here for a long time, Han Yutong and Gao Ling would be afraid that something like that would happen, so he changed his words and said: "This matter is not troublesome, but if it is handled neatly, it will take three days and four days."

You live in this post station, and I, take Ma San'er to run errands, return at night, and come back to stay at night.

Well, it's been more than ten days, and the saddle horse is tired along the way, and Han Zhuangshi is also tired, so let's rest for a few days. ”

When Zhang Meng said this, he thought about it for a while and ordered: "Han Zhuangshi, we came out on an errand on the orders of Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, so Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· You are a guest again, no matter where you go, as long as you are on the ground in this Shu country, you don't have to be polite, what you need, what you need to eat, what you wear, just tell the post station to handle it. ”

When Han Yutong heard this, he agreed, saying that along the way, General Zhang took care of him and had a good life. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You have to take care of it, we don't have to worry about it here.

So, Zhang Meng turned his face and instructed Gao Ling and Liu Ying: "Just live here and have a good restΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· If there is anything that is not well served in the inn, tell me when you come back, and I will go and clean them up. ”

After Zhang Meng finished speaking, he winked at Gao Ling and said naughtily: "I don't have it in front of me, don't be homesick and want to cry." I came back every night for the accommodation. ”

Gao Ling blushed when she heard this, looked at Liu Ying, and said with a smile: "Who do you think you are?" Can't live without you? Hurry up and get yours. ”

So, Zhang Meng took Ma San'er and rode to his hometown Sanlizhuang, which was more than ten miles away.

When he arrived at the door of his hometown, Zhang Meng tied the horse to the old locust tree in front of the door and instructed Ma San'er: "You wait here for a while, and I'll go home first." So he stretched out his hand and knocked on the door, and after a while, he asked, "Who, there is someone in the house, come in." ”

Zhang Meng listened, pushed open the street door with both hands, and saw that his adoptive parents were busy working in the yard, the father was sweeping the fallen leaves all over the ground with a broom, and the old lady was holding a wooden basin in her hand, and was grabbing chicken food to feed the chickens.

Hearing the knock at the street door and knowing that someone was coming, the two old men looked up at the same time, and saw a good, strong man standing in the door.

When he stared at it carefully, he recognized that it was his son Zhang Meng, and hurriedly threw the tools in his hand and ran over, and the old lady threw herself on Zhang Meng's chest and shouted, why did you come back, child, you are in a hurry to die.

As he spoke, he burst into tears, wiping his tears and laughing again.

Dad didn't say much, just asked, "Is the tolerance done?" Zhang Meng agreed.

The old lady babbled and asked and said, what to say, I heard people say, son, you have become a big officer outside, you have killed the enemy and made meritorious contributions, and the prime minister has received you, "Where are you going to go when you come back this time?" How many soldiers and horses did you bring? ”

Zhang Meng told him that this time he came back on an errand, not a war. There are not many soldiers and horses, that is, about 5,000 people, and they are all stationed there. 2021.10.28
