The Ambition of the Oil Seller (II)

Poor Zhu has lived for more than ten years, how have he ever seen this scene, but he is not very comforting for a while. But fortunately, Yaoqin's picture is his duty, and he is not expected to be able to speak lotus. Therefore, after crying for a while, he said directly: "The slave family is miserable, and everyone knows about the previous things, but they have never disliked it." It's not that the slave family didn't know your mind before, but they didn't dare to deliver their sincerity anymore, and they always thought that their father and mother would not change their minds. But today I learned that the sincerity of the little officials was difficult for the ancients to reach, and my parents would not tolerate me to feel sorry for myself, so I opened my mouth cheekily, and I hope you don't laugh shamefully. ”

Zhu hurriedly said: "Xiao Ke looks at the lady like a fairy in the sky, if you say that you are a parent, you would not dare to think about it before." But since the lady loves her, I am naturally willing. It's just that I don't hide it from my mother, Xiao Ke has a shop at home, and he supports his father, but I'm afraid that I can't give you the attic Ayaluo, brocade clothes and jade food. ”

Yaoqin said with a smile: "I often hear people say that it is easy to get priceless treasures, and it is rare to have a lover." As long as Zhu Lang treats me sincerely, the coarse tea and light rice are also fragrant, not to mention that the dignitaries and nobles only treat us as objects, and no one is cheap, but has to be someone's little wife. If you can be a lady in charge, why not be poor, anyway, we have hands and feet, are we afraid of hardship? It's just one thing, my parents are old and expect me to support the elderly, although I don't expect my grandson to change his surname, but he has to be filial to his father-in-law. ”

Later generations said that honest people will inevitably be ridiculed, but Zhu Zhong is a rare pure person, and after saying it, Yaoqin still looked depressed, and persuaded him: "I'll go home to persuade my father, don't be too sad." Born in troubled times, I heard that a few years ago, even the queen and lady of the official family were inevitably killed and humiliated, you are a weak woman, what can you compete with? It's not your fault, as long as the days go by. ”

Yaoqin listened, and her tears almost stayed again.

I didn't expect Zhu Shilao to become an obstacle here, Zhu Chong inevitably asked someone to make a two-year appointment with Yaoqin, saying that he was incompetent, and if Yaoqin met a lover, he would never complain; If you are willing to give him a chance, you must forge ahead. As the saying goes, filial piety comes first, if Zhu Chong contradicts Zhu Shilao, then the three members of the Xin family must wonder if his kindness is faked.

Although Yaoqin knew that there was a saying that "I would rather marry a maid than a small girl", she was in a hurry after all, and asked her neighbor to talk to her, saying that it was easy for her private wealth to come by, and she still had fifty or sixty yuan of money, so she didn't have to work so hard for Zhu Xiaoguan. But Zhu Chongzhi's sincerity is a gift from God, and he refuses to take his sweetheart's money, which is the act of eating soft rice. In addition, he promised his adoptive father to set up his own door, and he would have to make a promise, so he was diligent on weekdays, and he didn't care about eating and resting when he was idle, and how to save money all day long in open source - the amount set by Zhu Shilao and him was really difficult for a strong man.

But even so, he still had to walk through the sweet water lane in front of Yulin Lane after a day of fatigue, because the Xin family had to live on the street, Zhu Chong saw Huasheng outside Yaoqin's window lattice from afar, and knew that the two hearts were the same, and they worked harder.

But although he is a young man, it is always inappropriate to work day and night like this, that day happened to be the scorching sun in June that dried up the streets and alleys of Tokyo, but suddenly dark clouds came to cover the sky and the sun, and in an instant it was a heavy rain, and the people around him couldn't avoid it. But who knew that the little girl who had just been carried to the pork stall next to her by someone who looked like a domestic servant was suddenly frightened, and ran out like crazy, just coming towards Zhu Chong.

Zhu Chong didn't have time to think, and quickly picked up the oil drum with a flat pole, who knew that the foothold was unstable, and how much clear oil had not been sold was sprinkled on the ground, and then the servant who followed the little girl ran out like crazy, and a middle-aged man with a white face and beard was afraid that she would slip, so he simply threw himself on the ground to protect the child, and as a result, he hit it, and the oil on Zhu Chong's right side was almost all spilled, and it was really bloody. There was even a young man in a gorgeous costume and a gold belt who hurriedly walked out and hugged the little girl, and hurriedly comforted: "God bless, don't be afraid, it's pig's blood." ”

The little girl had a white face and did not dare to move, but said, "Sister, I want my sister." ”

"Obedient, we'll go back when the rain stops, and today your sister can't come out due to heat stroke." A noble official coaxed.

Zhu Chong wanted to cry without tears, but he couldn't deal with a six or seven-year-old girl, who saw that she had suffered from the Jurchen military disaster and was extremely frightened.

However, the family was reasonable, and another attendant with a knife came out, who looked very capable in his thirties, first pulled Zhu Zhong under the canopy, and said politely: "The son-in-law of the family is young and collided with you, this is a small meaning, to compensate for your loss." "It's five golden beans, and it's conservatively estimated that it will cost at least seven or eight dollars.

Although Zhu Chong was short of money, he refused to let people be wronged, and hurriedly said: "You don't need so much, Xiaoke's capital is only 800 yuan, how can you defraud a child, this is not the truth of life." "I won't take anything I said.

Seeing him like this, the brocade-robed official turned his head, glanced at him, and said: "The little official is real, but I can see clearly just now, you spilled oil because you avoided the little girl, I am a father, and I regard my daughter more than Jinshan in my heart, so don't shirk the little thank you." ”

Zhu Zhong couldn't see that this was a rich family, he really didn't care about the money, but he had his own reason, "Official, villains are naturally unwilling to lose money when they come out to do business, but they have all experienced great hardships, this child is so young, if I don't care about her life or death for money, is it still a human being?" In this way, when you buy these two barrels of oil from me, it is enough to give me 1,000 yuan with interest. "While the weather is still early and the weather is bad, the remaining barrel of oil should still be sold.

The official and several attendants were stunned for a moment, as if they didn't expect that there would be such a person in time, but the white-faced and bearded man suddenly said: "Oh, could it be that you are selling oil in Zhu?" ”

Zhu Chong didn't see that he was a eunuch at all, and said honestly: "How do officials know the nickname of Tokyo's popularity?" ”

The eunuch glanced at the brocade-robed man, and sure enough, the man was very interested, so he said: "This person is too honest in doing business, and he is only willing to sell clear oil to others, and never adulterates oil residues, so the Xu family soup and Zheng family oil cakes in the south of the state bridge are not his oil and do not buy, and the slave listens to people's gossip when he goes to inquire, and the petty official refuses to sit in the shop comfortably, so he has to sell oil to please the Hunjia family?" ”

No matter how honest Zhu Zhong is, he couldn't help but be angry when he heard this, and said: "This little brother is so rude, how can he chew his tongue with this kind of words." ”

The brocade-robed official hurriedly stopped his own people, smiled like ordinary people, and said: "It's my servant who is rude, this official, I am very grateful to you for saving the little girl, you can accept this gold, and it's not that you deceive me, but my father's heart, and when you have a child, you will understand." ”

When Zhu Zhong heard this, his face softened, and he only accepted a golden bean, and said: "The official is sincere, Xiao Ke excuses but I don't know what to do, so I am grateful, you take good care of Ling Qianjin, it is not easy for such a young child in the chaos." On a June day, when the rain stopped, he took his leave and went away with the oil.

The brocade-robed man saw him go away, handed his daughter over to the chamberlain, bought a sugar man to coax her, and said to the man with a sword on the side: "Zhengfu, check it." ”

Yang Yizhong immediately said yes, but he was very embarrassed after checking for a long time, but he also had to report to the official's family.

Just when Zhu Chong was at a loss, the official family who went down to the earth to help him again, and in the sixth year of Jianyan, the official family led Yue Fei Quduan and an army of 100,000 to recover Western Xia and snow the century-old hatred of the Great Song Dynasty.

At the same time, imitating the five years of Jianyan Yuetai Festival, calling on the world's temples and Taoist temples to jointly exceed, that Shaolin Temple and Daxiangguo Temple have fixed procurement points in Beijing, Huanzhou Pagoda Temple because it has just returned to the embrace of the Great Song Dynasty, a little hasty for a while, somehow it valued the oil that Zhu Zhong picked and sold, and said that the Buddha must like it with excellent color, and ordered as much as one or five hundred catties at once, and the profit was enough to have fifty or sixty times, and the little Zhu Guanren made a fortune overnight, and finally was able to explain to his father.

Of course, Zhu Chong didn't know that he had nobles to help.

It is said that since Yaoqin reunited with her parents, although it was bumpy in the morning, how to not make a man's heart moved, seeing that she went home after the boudoir was strict, many people came to inquire, and there were many rich and noble families to continue the strings, and even the two members of the Xin family complained in their hearts that Zhu Shilao looked at people low, and he couldn't help but be moved when he came more.

Yaoqin was very firm, "I'm not afraid of my father's jokes, how many rich and noble men have I seen over the years, who treats people as individuals?" Although Zhu Lang is poorer, he knows the cold and knows the heat for several years, except for his father, no one is better than him, and now the two-year appointment has not arrived, if my parents force me to marry, I can't disobey my daughter, but for a lifetime, there is no more fun. ”

The Xin family's parents only got this daughter at forty, which was a treasure in the palm of their hands, and they took pity on their daughter's suffering and never mentioned it again. Unexpectedly, there were still a few months left in the two-year period, and Zhu Chong got the consent of Zhu Shilao and came to propose marriage.

Although Zhu Shilao didn't know what the mountain alliance and sea oath were, he saw that Yizi was so persistent, and he was also convinced. took out fifty yuan from this money, and sighed: "Since you are a relative, don't despise the sluts, how can there be a daughter-in-law who doesn't give a dowry, besides, these are all yours, the major events in life are not good-looking, and the sooner you get married, I will also forget my mind." ”

Zhu was overjoyed, and after bowing to his father, he found a matchmaker to come to Xin's house. The parents of the Xin family couldn't imagine that he was so affectionate and righteous, it was really more reassuring than the dignitaries and nobles, and they agreed at the moment, and the two families had all the etiquette, and they got married in April of the seventh year of Jianyan.

Of course, Li Gang was losing his temper with Zhao Guan's family during this time, but who knew these things among the ordinary people. If there is any impact, it is that Xin Yaoqin gave birth to a son in October of the ninth year of Jianyan, when the official army recovered Hezhong Mansion, Zhu Chong spent money to find a reading gentleman to name the child "Wenxi", it is said that this name has a big allusion, and the hometown of Zhao Xianggong, the prime minister of the dynasty, is also there.

Zhu Chong never dared to think that his children could be slaughtered for officials, but the Great Song Dynasty paid attention to a "dynasty for Tian Shelang, and twilight for Tianzi Hall." He thought that it would be okay for his son to be a merchant and inherit the oil shop, if he had the opportunity to enroll in school and become a small official, it would be his ancestors to accumulate virtue, anyway, now that life is better, it will not be a problem to send him to school.

After ten years of Jianyan, Zhu Shilao passed away peacefully, and went to see his wife and children. Zhu Zhong did his best to be the son of man's filial piety, and he played the banner to recruit the spirit and keep the filial piety. But after the filial piety period, with the consent of his parents-in-law, he also went to Hangzhou to find his biological father, but in the end it was fruitless, but since he had bought out the father-son relationship, Zhu Chong's sadness was limited.

The years have changed, and the major events of the Song Kingdom have come one after another, Zhu Chong has long forgotten the son of the brocade robe, and he and his wife Xin Yaoqin gave birth to two sons and two daughters, and they will eventually grow old in Tokyo.

I especially like the oil seller played by Ren Quan, that sentence will not only be tragic things in the world, crying to death
