Chapter 446: Ridiculous and Pathetic
There is a saying in the world, called guarding the gold mountain to ask for food, which is undoubtedly a true portrayal of Gongsun Cheng at this time, from Lu Hanjiang's point of view, Gongsun Cheng lacks everything, that is, there is no lack of fame.
The word fame, to put it bluntly, the actual performance of this thing in the rivers and lakes is how many people can recognize you as a person.
As one of the only two remaining families in the rivers and lakes, when people on the rivers and lakes talk about them, the first thing that comes to mind is naturally the head of the family, Gongsun Huan, and secondly, the young master Gongsun Cheng.
To give the most practical example, when Gongsun Cheng went to the north to look for Linglong Qi, Lu Hanjiang recognized him as soon as he reported his name when he met, if he changed someone, even if it was a high-ranking and powerful Gongsun family like Gongsun Wang, I was afraid that Lu Hanjiang would also ask, who are you, uncle?
That's where the word fame comes in.
Let's be realistic, if Gongsun Cheng was not a young master, but just a junior with no name, then Lu Hanjiang would not have seen him at all, not because his eyes were above the top, but in terms of rules, the possibility of the other party seeing him was not high.
You are a nobody, you have to see the helper when you open your mouth and close your mouth, and you want people to help you no matter how big or small, where do you put the face of these beggars and disciples? I didn't beat you on the spot, so I have quality.
Gongsun Cheng repeatedly accused the family of treating him harshly, but in fact, the Gongsun family behind him not only provided him with shelter from the wind and rain, three meals a day, and most importantly, the family also allowed him to act in the rivers and lakes as a "young master".
This last point is the biggest support, as for saying that the clansmen look down on him, it is mostly because of the grievances between Gongsun Cheng and Gongsun Huan's father and son, but even in this matter, the clansmen of the Gongsun family did not make too much trouble, and they didn't even make verbal ridicule, they just didn't associate with him.
The only one who made a fuss about this matter was Lu Peng, an outsider.
Under such circumstances, Gongsun Cheng has achieved his current status and achievements, of course, he cannot be said to be a useless person, but his talent has obviously not reached an amazing level.
And he dealt with Qu Lianqin this time, so that there were a lot of things in the back, which was the reason why Gongsun Wang completely gave up on him.
Gongsun Cheng wanted to gain fame, so it was not a big mistake to deal with Qu Lianqin, his mistake was that when the group of Jianghu people came to the door after being provoked by Lu Peng, he used the bad way of dealing with it.
In the eyes of these elders of the Gongsun family, debt is not a sign of incompetence, Gongsun Cheng's conditions are there, and it is understandable that life is difficult, but his way of dealing with it is very blind.
Gongsun Cheng blindly pursues fame, but he doesn't know that these stupid actions are really consuming the fame he values most.
He spends a lot of money on socializing, taking care of his own clothes, hiding the difficulties in his money, and slapping his swollen face and becoming fat, all of which can be regarded as small things, although it is useless, but if it is only regarded as the self-esteem of young people, they may not be able to turn a blind eye.
But then, Gongsun Cheng made such a big deal in Guihe Tower, but he was blindfolded and didn't care about anything, which surprised everyone and was completely disappointed in his ability.
As mentioned earlier, debt is not incompetence, and not finding a suitable way to deal with it is the real incompetence.
What's more, there is one of the most striking examples to compare, the same young master, Huo Yunqi of Sword Casting Villa, is many times stronger than Gongsun Cheng.
How many people were burned to death in Wangjian Tower at the beginning, the injustices caused by Huo Tianya were too numerous to be written, and the blood debts had to be repaid by Huo Yunqi alone.
But how did he do it? dismissed his disciples, cried and sold miserably, aroused the compassion of the people in the rivers and lakes, and finally made the people who came to seek revenge helpless, and left after smashing it, it was the hatred of murder, and he dealt with it in this way.
In contrast, Gongsun Cheng's shrinking turtle tactics are simply impossible to look at, there are countless ways to escape, and he chose the most humiliating and useless one, which makes it possible for the elders to rest assured that the position of the young master will continue to be left to him.
And it doesn't stop there, Lu Hanjiang's rough performance, even Chi Cangping can see how he can hide from the eyes of these old rivers and lakes.
At first, Gongsun Wang thought that Gongsun Cheng's wings had been completed, and the chicks had finally grown up and could soar for nine days, but he never thought that he would not fly up this day, but someone else would drag him up.
This beggar gang obviously has bad intentions, everyone sees it, but only Gongsun Cheng himself can't see it, he thinks that his big brother Lu is good to him.
Don't talk about being close to outsiders in an estranged family, being close is still this kind of person who hides a knife in a smile, if this family is handed over to the other party, I am afraid that it will really be a catastrophe.
However, Gongsun Wang has room for improvement, he only said that in the long run, if Gongsun Cheng prodigal son turns back in the future, he may not be able to take the throne again.
After all, aside from the side, at least Gongsun Cheng can occupy a justifiable name, and the doubts about his bloodline have changed a lot over the years, and more and more Gongsun people have begun to believe that what happened back then was the deliberate revenge of the hundred poisoners.
Looking at the angry young man in front of him, Gongsun Wang sighed, ignored the other party's clamour, and left the hall with a group of elders.
The rest of the Gongsun clan saw that Gongsun Cheng was like a crazy demon at the moment, and they were not willing to step forward to find bad luck, so they got up and left.
And the people of the Cheng family and the Lin family, who originally supported Gongsun Cheng, were even more worried about being implicated and left the table early, and the son of the Cheng family of the Lin family did not dare to approach Gongsun Cheng at this time, and even looked at Gongsun Cheng with a little disdain in his eyes.
They intersected with Gongsun Cheng, because of the other party's status as the young master, they approached out of family obligations, and because the other party was generous, so they also greeted each other with a smile on weekdays.
After a short time, except for Lu Peng standing proudly on the side of the hall, only the two people in the guest seat had not left.
The Yuwen family didn't know for what purpose, Lu Hanjiang saw that Gongsun Cheng was alone there, and planned to go over to comfort the other party, but unexpectedly, this kid ran away without looking back, and when he passed by Lu Hanjiang's side, he also left him with a complicated look.
This kind of guy who is not stupid to the extreme, but is a little clever, is actually the most difficult to deal with-Lu Hanjiang said in his heart.
Gongsun Cheng reminded Lu Hanjiang of the classic comment, doing big things and cherishing his life, forgetting his life when he saw small profits, and falling to the point where he is now, it is not unexpected, but the other party is still useful, and he doesn't plan to let this big drama end like this.
He sighed helplessly on his face, and then gave Chi Cangping a look, and the latter was full of excitement and hurriedly chased after Gongsun Cheng.
At this time, the group of Yuwen's family also left, and when the two sides passed by, Yuwenshang suddenly stopped, his eyes were like electricity, and he stared at Lu Hanjiang and said: "Lu Gang Master knows what kind of crime it is to harbor the imperial court." ”
“...... Oh? ”
Lu Hanjiang's expression at the moment is so weird and weird, he didn't expect to hear this kind of thing from others in his lifetime, he couldn't help laughing, arched his hand at Yuwen Shang, and said: "I don't know, please Mr. Shang, um-advice?" ”
Yuwen Shang said surgingly: "Although my third brother is uninhibited, but there are few enemies, this Jianghu, there are few people who dare to move the Yuwen family, I happen to know one of them, although her family was confiscated by the imperial court, but with her light skills, she may not be able to escape...... I heard that when he was in Jiangnan, he also had a relationship with the Lu gang leader. ”
