371 "A Habitual Brother Is Like a Murderous Brother" (6,000 words)

There are some reasons why Wu Zhaobai would have this idea.

His grandfather's family is also a scholarly family, this time his mother went back to visit relatives, and he was depressed, so he asked his mother to bring an article he had written painstakingly and handed it over to his grandfather for guidance-

After reading his articles, his grandfather was impressed by his talent, so he donated books from his family collection to help him in the imperial examination......

Those books with a whole box were not a small amount, and as far as he knew, his grandfather's house did not have a lot of books, so didn't he do his best to fund him?

So, has he finally waited for someone who is truly discerning and willing to recognize him?

Wu Zhaobai was a little excited in his heart, but his face became more and more indifferent, and he was not in a hurry to read those books, and practiced the truth and virtue of "pampering and not being shocked".

Mrs. Wu held the teacup and looked at her whimsical son: "How many books in your grandfather's family are worth taking out and willing to take?" I can't afford to supply a few of my own children. ”

It wasn't a book from my grandfather's family, where did it come from? Bought it from a bookstore on the road? What kind of good book can be easily bought in a bookstore outside, and you buy such a large number of books?

After Wu Zhaobai was stunned for a short time, his attitude quickly changed to disdain.

Immediately after, I heard my mother say, "Although there is no book, after your grandfather read your article, he has something for me to bring to youβ€”β€”"

Facing the elders to speak, Wu Zhaobai made a listening appearance.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ First of all, we must guard against arrogance and rashness, and learn to be down-to-earth, so as to make progress. ”

Wu Zhaobai's face was slightly stiff, what did his grandfather mean by saying that he was impetuous and arrogant?

Mrs. Wu looked at her son's expression and sighed in her heart, feeling embarrassed, right? Isn't she embarrassed when she listened to her father comment on her son's article in front of several brothers in front of her brothers?

is willing to take her son's article, which has been "rejected" by her husband and father-in-law many times, to her parents' house and hand it over to her father, she is really the best loving mother in the world to endure humiliation.

Fortunately, Chunbai is here, and in the face of her father's questioning, she is not inferior to her nephews at all, and she has won back face for her mother.

Chunbai doesn't lose to those cousins, the word "don't lose" is her father's comment, if she is called to say, it's not just not to lose, it's far better, but her father is conservative in the end, and he has always attached more importance to men, for the sake of his own children's face, he only said that Chunbai just "doesn't lose".

Before leaving, her father sighed with her in private, and said very regretfully: [If Chunbai and Zhaobai swap places, the Wu family's generation will definitely be able to go to the next level. 】

In short, it's a pity that Chunbai is not a man.

In this regard, Mrs. Wu also regretted it at first, but after hearing a lot of such words, she gradually developed a bit of a rebellious mentality - what happened to her daughter's family? Are people born only to glorify their ancestors? Her daughter deserves all the good qualities, why should these wise and precious qualities appear in her daughter's family, and be regarded as a waste, and be lamented by the relevant and irrelevant people together for the "tyranny of heaven"?

There are more possibilities, Mrs. Wu can't think of it for the time being, but now she no longer blames God for the injustice of her children's qualifications.

Of course, her change in mentality is also due to her son's sour and rotten body, which makes it difficult for her to have too much pity.

At this moment, Wu Zhaobai was a little resentful in his heart - knowing that what his grandfather said was not a good thing, why did his mother still talk about it in public? Doesn't he want to be embarrassed?

Embarrassed, Wu Zhaobai subconsciously wanted to find a thorn to pick up, and as soon as his eyes turned, he chose his sister who was only looking at the books there: "...... Chunbai, why did you buy so many books without permission? Why, aren't there enough books at home for you to read? ”

His grandfather's collection of books was not limited to his sister, which also made him have a lot of opinions.

"These books weren't bought by Chunbai." Without waiting for her daughter to answer, Mrs. Wu said, "It was the porter who said that someone sent it to Chunbaiβ€”β€”"

As he spoke, he also asked his daughter with some curiosity: "Who sent it, Chunbai already knows?" ”

Wu Chunbai had already flipped out a letter from the box, she quickly opened it, and even showed a rare look of joy: "It's Chang Niangzi...... It was Chang Niangzi who specially asked someone to send it from Jiangdu. ”

Wu Zhaobai was stunned for a moment - who? That Chang Sui Ning?

This Nu Tian shamelessly seized the position of Jiangdu Assassin History, and intercepted the collection of books confiscated from the homes of those Jiangnan scholars, and everyone knew about the fact that hundreds of people copied books in Jiangdu, these books are ......

Wu Zhaobai couldn't help but look over.

Wu Chunbai read the letter and said: "Chang Niangzi said that these are all altered books that were sifted down when copying books, because Jiangdu manpower is really tight, and there is no manpower to copy ...... again."

"I said how she was so kind, it turned out to be just a mistake!" Wu Zhaobai sneered: "Take the wrong book and give it away, if you don't know, you should send it to Huazi." ”

"It's a painted book, not a wrong one." Mrs. Wu said angrily: "Then Wang Xizhi's Lan Pavilion order has been altered." ”

"Mother's words are wrong, the reason why Wang Xizhi's Lan Tingxuan has traces of alteration is because it was improvised, and the altered one is the real one!" Wu Zhaobai pointed to the box of books disdainfully, and said, "But these books are just manuscripts, and those who copy books, how can they be compared with everyone Wang Xizhi?" ”

Wu Chunbai said unhurriedly: "Those people who copied books worked tirelessly, did not untie their clothes for dozens of days, kept their pens in their hands, copied and revised, just to leave these rare books in the south of the Yangtze River to teach the world's readers." How could it be that the merit of this was so worthless in the mouth of the elder brother, but that it was borrowed by the elder brother to belittle them? ”

She said, raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at Wu Zhaobai with a smile: "Brother is afraid that he is not jealous that they can be selected to copy books, and my brother doesn't even have the opportunity to see those classics, right?" ”

Wu Zhaobai's face froze: "...... Hugh be self-righteous! ”

Wu Chunbai didn't bother to look at his face, continued to read the letter, and said: "There are as many as fifty or sixty volumes, not for me alone, but Chang Niangzi said that I can copy a copy of these by myself......"

These books were to be distributed to Yao Xia and Wei Miaoqing, and in addition to their group, Chang Niangzi also asked her to transfer them to another person.

Looking at the name written on the letter, Wu Chunbai thought for a moment, and roughly understood Chang Suining's intention of choosing to entrust her to transfer it.

"Tomorrow I will let them come to the house to copy the books." Wu Chunbai smiled and said: "I will copy a few more copies myself, one for my grandfather, one for my father, and one for ......."

Wu Zhaobai didn't squint, and snorted lightly - he didn't necessarily want it!

The next moment, I heard my sister say, "One for Ah Xian." ”

Wu Zhaobai: "......"

Ah Xian is his son's milk name.

The young lady of the Wu family on the side hurriedly smiled and said: "No need, Ah Xian is only a few years old, and now he has just been enlightened, and he can't understand it, so don't be in a hurry to give it to him." ”

β€œοΌŸβ€ The corners of Wu Zhaobai's eyes twitched slightly, and his heart throbbed inexplicably.

The young lady of the Wu family smiled reasonably.

After returning to the hospital, Wu Zhaobai thought about it, but still felt that it was not a taste in his heart, and after looking for an opportunity, he finally asked his wife: "...... In the front hall, Chunbai said that he wanted to copy a copy of those books to Ah Xian, why did you refuse? ”

After asking, he added lightly: "I'm just asking." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Isn't the husband always looking down on Chang Niangzi, if the book sent by Chang Niangzi is placed in our yard, can the husband feel good? The young lady of the Wu family asked understandingly.

Wu Zhaobai's words in his throat choked for a moment, and after a moment, he said, "The book is innocent...... Always think about Ah Xian. ”

The young lady of the Wu family smiled and said with relief: "Husband, this is too much to worry about, the books in the family, Ah Xian can use them, and no one will guard against him in the future." ”

Just kidding, is it Ah Xian to be guarded against, it's clearly her husband.

Books are rare and good books, but if they are given to people with bad mouths and sad mouths, isn't it a waste of people's good intentions? If she often stabbed history, knowing that the books she gave were cheap, and the people who looked down on her in every way behind her back, she would vomit to death.

As for the future of the husband or something...... Anyone with a discerning eye can see that her husband is unwilling, the problem is in the heart, followed by the qualification, which has nothing to do with opportunities and conditions, after all, he has grown up, and the Wu family has given him everything he needs.

If the husband's heart cannot be changed, everything else is empty talk.

Therefore, it is impossible to give him steps, she will only give him the steps higher, and one day he will not be able to come down by himself, and he will be scared half to death when he looks down, maybe there is a possibility of a radical cure.

Speaking of which, even though Wu Zhaobai was depressed in his heart, it was not easy to say any more.

But in the next few days, whenever he heard that Wu Chunbai had invited a group of girls to come to the door to copy books, Wu Zhaobai felt that his heart was up and down, impatient, and often paced back and forth in the room.

In the study outside the Wu family, twenty or thirty girls gathered, except for Yao Xia and Wei Miaoqing, the two bastards, everyone else was actively and seriously copying books, and the atmosphere was harmonious and pleasant.

Wu Zhaobai couldn't bear the boredom in his heart anymore, so he could only use wine to drown his sorrows.

When the wine was strong, those dissatisfied words could no longer be suppressed, and all the brains were poured out.

"What are those books for them...... Can they govern the country or benefit the people? ”

"Going to the holy to learn should be a good use for my generation of scholars...... Now it's reduced to a group of girls' boudoir fun! How ridiculous! ”

"I know that those narrow-minded women must not be allowed to occupy high positions, otherwise they will only take the opportunity to satisfy their own selfishness and ignore the overall situation!"

"In the long run, where will I wait for the day when men will come out!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Where is there only selfishness and disregard for the overall situation? The young lady of the Wu family sighed: "Chang Assassin Shi borrowed these books to build a unique courtyard in Jiangdu, and widely accepted qualified scholars from all over the world to go to school, not at all men and women, only based on qualifications, and treated equally." ”

Wu Zhaobai immediately stiffened his red neck and said: "To treat everyone equally is to benefit women!" ”

"Historically, which college has allowed women and men to study together? Why did she come here to set a precedent for women everywhere? This is not narrow-minded selfishness, and what is it! ”

The young lady of the Wu family sighed again: "Then what should I do, otherwise the husband will report to the official." ”

"Reporter? I'm only afraid that those who will be officials in the future will be the likes of Chang Sui Ning! ”

Mrs. Wu Jia: In which direction can "......" kowtow to have such a good thing?

Wu Zhaobai, who was heartbroken, soon got drunk.

On the other side, when it was about to get dark, Wu Chunbai personally handed over the two boxes of books to a trustworthy servant, gave him an address, and asked him to send them over.

As soon as Song Xian returned home from duty, he listened to the doorman's way, and someone sent two boxes.

Song Xian's face was displeased: "Didn't you say a long time ago that you can't accept gifts from others?" Which one sent it? Quickly make people go back. ”

The porter was his old servant, and when he heard this, he stepped forward and lowered his voice: "Don't worry, my lord, it shouldn't be a bribe...... The man who delivered the thing said that his girl had asked him to deliver it. ”

Song Xian was stunned: "Girl? Which girl? ”

"He said that his surname was Wu, and he also said that the adults would understand after reading this letter." The porter said, handing the letter over.

As soon as he heard this, he couldn't help but think too much in his heart.

Song Xian's heart was open, and he didn't dodge, even if he opened the letter, he saw only two lines of words on the letter paper - [entrusted by Chang Niangzi, transferred from it. No one knows about this, so I hope to be relieved. 】

The handwriting is generous, only the three words [Wu Chunbai].

Song Xian then ordered the porter to open the two boxes to check, only to see that they were all brand new books.

"Your Excellency...... Do you want to send it back? The porter asked tentatively.

After a while, Song Xiancai said, "Stay." ”

The porter was overjoyed, and his eyes were bright and he picked up the two boxes: "Okay! ”

Song Xian glanced at the porter inexplicably.

On the way back to the hospital, Song Xian was thinking about it.

Chang Suining had a book collection in Jiangdu, and he naturally heard the news of the establishment of the Wuyi Academy, but he didn't expect that she would send books to him.

When he first entered the career, she probably didn't want to cause him unnecessary trouble, so she bothered to let the girl of the Wu family secretly transfer ...... She gave him books, but she had no intention of tying him to death, just to give books.

Therefore, there will be the sentence "No one knows about this, I hope to be relieved" on the letter of the girl of the Wu family.

After changing out of the official robe, Song Xian took out those books one by one, and it could be seen that Chang Suining had carefully selected them, and most of them were very suitable for him when he first entered the officialdom, which was very helpful to him.

Looking at the two stacks of books in front of her, Song Xian suddenly felt that she was like a teacher who carefully selected books for her students, and she didn't care where the student would use what she had learned and who she would serve.

Song Xian raised his hand to touch those precious books, thinking of the battle report of the Japanese army's surprise attack, and his eyes couldn't help but show melancholy.

According to her temperament, she will not hide behind the soldiers, how sure is she about the battle against the Japanese army this time?

……

At the end of the night, after the drunken Wu Zhaobai woke up in a hazy way, he took advantage of the residual drunkenness and touched the outer study.

The lights had been turned off in the huge outer study room that housed the girls copying books during the day, and Wu Zhaobai saw that there was no one around, so he stretched out his hand to push the door, but did not push it open.

He pushed it again, and then looked closely, and couldn't help but be annoyedβ€”how could it be that it was locked!

At this moment, a light approached behind him, and there were footsteps and inquiries: "Brother? Why are you here? ”

Wu Zhaobai's heart trembled, and when he looked back, he saw that his sister was coming with a lamp.

"I ...... I'm looking for something! Wu Zhaobai put his hands behind his back and tried his best to make a calm look.

"Brother is alone late at night, what are you looking for here?" Wu Chunbai asked lightly: "Brother shouldn't be here to steal books, right?" ”

"Who do you say stole it?" Wu Zhaobai was stung by the word "steal": "This is the Wu family, my surname is Wu, and I am my father's only son, how do I not know that there is something that I need to steal!" Wu Chunbai, don't you want blood to spew ......"

Wu Chunbai interrupted him: "If my brother wants to borrow books, it's not impossible. ”

Wu Zhaobai's expression froze, and he swallowed his saliva: "You...... What did you say? ”

Wu Chunbai smiled dignifiedly: "That's good, from tomorrow, every time my brother goes to Dengtai Tower to write a poem to praise Chang Niangzi's merits, I will lend my brother a book - what does my brother think?" ”

Wu Zhaobai's face turned red and white for a while: "Shi can be killed, but not humiliated...... Don't deceive too much! ”

Wu Chunbai raised his eyebrows: "It seems that my brother doesn't want to appreciate it." ”

Wu Zhaobai was embarrassed, saw that someone was coming over again, and when he looked closely, he saw that his grandfather and father were both here, and they were about to come to the study to discuss matters-

He immediately pointed to his sister indignantly and aggrievedly: "Grandfather, father! Chunbai humiliated me for no reason, and even asked me to write a poem in exchange for a book...... At a young age, she treated her brother with such thoughts, how can she be able to return it in the future! ”

Dare to let him exchange poems for books today, and maybe dare to ask him to play music and dance in the future!

The old lady of the Wu family looked at her granddaughter: "Chunbai's move is indeed inappropriate. ”

Wu Zhaobai, who rarely had the support of his grandfather, became even more hardened on his face, and was just about to answer, when he heard his grandfather say: "Your brother can't exchange a poem for a big dollar, how can he get those rare books?" Chunbai, you must know that a habitual brother is like a murderous brother. ”

Wu Zhaobai's lips trembled: "Grandfather ......"

After a moment of confusion, he completely broke the defense, suddenly raised his voice, and asked aggrieved and angry words that had been suppressed in his heart for too long: "Why is grandfather always so eccentric?" Why is there only Chunbai in the eyes of grandfathers, but never grandchildren! Obviously, the grandson is the pillar of the Wu family in the future! Or is it that in the eyes of the grandfather, the grandson is really so unbearable! ”

"Do you want to hear the truth?"

Facing the old man's serious gaze, Wu Zhaobai's lips twitched, and his eyes dodged: "......" suddenly wasn't sure whether to listen or not.

But whether he wanted to listen or not, the old man's voice had already reached his ears: "Then I tell you, yes." You are indeed worthy of being the pillar of the Wu family, and you are not worthy of being compared with Chunbai. ”

Facing the old man's extremely disappointed gaze, Wu Zhaobai looked stunned, and his eyes gradually turned red.

"You always think that I only prefer Chunbai, but I despise you, but I don't know what is man-made, you have today, and you can't blame anyone."

"You are the third generation of my Wu family, since you were born, the family has given you all the best. At first, Chunbai just picked up your leftover books to read, and when you got good things in the study, you were also asked to pick them first, and everything gave you the greatest tilt, but how did you give back to your family? ”

"You are arrogant, you can't stand the slightest setback, you didn't pass the exam for the first time, and you began to complain about the heavens and the earth, and complain about Chunbai!"

"Chunbai is more qualified than you, but you are the least as good as Chunbai, but it is the word heart-"

"And you must know that Chunbai's excellence is not snatched from you, but what she has. Chunbai is like this, and that Chang Thorn Shi is even more so, they have never robbed you at all, they just got what you can't get on their own. ”

"You have always been unable to tolerate others praising Chunbai, you think that as a man is not as good as your sister, it is a great shame, so you treat other outstanding women everywhere, deceive yourself, and be completely blinded!"

"Today, as your grandfather, I have said all that. If you don't know how to reflect and think about it, you will rot in wine and narrow-mindedness for the rest of your life, and you will just be a wasted person! ”

After the old lady of the Wu family finished speaking, she didn't look at her grandson anymore, and left here with her son and granddaughter.

Wu Zhaobai stayed in place with tears in his eyes, and after a while, he couldn't support it anymore, leaned against the door panel, and sat down a little paralyzed.

When the young lady of the Wu family came to look for her, she saw her husband leaning against the door and crying. She persuaded her husband to go back to rest, after all, his mind was already very sick, at least save his body.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Chunbai, and Chang Suining, everyone is praising them, are they really that good? Wu Zhaobai grabbed his wife's hand and asked with tears: "Wan Niang, I want to listen to the truth!" ”

The young lady of the Wu family asked seriously: "If they are not good, how can they make their husbands cry like this?" ”

Only those who are capable will attract the jealousy of villains.

Comprehending the meaning of these heavy words, Wu Zhaobai was stunned for a moment and cried even louder.

This night, Wu Zhaobai stayed awake all night.

The next day, a friend came to the door and invited him to the poetry meeting, but he shrunk on the bed and did not get up, so that his subordinates refused.

When the next servant brought food, he didn't use it, but lay on the bed in despair, his grandfather's heartfelt words echoed in his ears, and every time he thought of it, he had to tremble his lips and cry.

Lying like this for three days, I didn't wait for the family to take a look, my grandfather naturally couldn't come, my parents didn't see anyone, not to mention Chunbai's conscienceless, but even his wife moved to the study to sleep...... also asked people to talk to him, what to say, he couldn't use the study anyway.

On this day, Wu Zhaobai saw a familiar little head peeking through the half-open window, he was overjoyed, and was about to beckon his son to come in, but he saw the little figure leave quickly, and said loudly as he walked-

"Arjun, I'll just say that my dad is not dead! You still don't believe it! You lose your bet, give me three pine nuts! Don't run! ”

Arjun is a companion sent to Ah Xian in the Wu family.

The child's chase was far away, and Wu Zhaobai's chapped lips trembled in the room, and two lines of tears flowed again.

Wu Chunbai has no time to pay attention to her depressed brother, she has been paying attention to Jiangdu's battle report recently, and she has to ask people to inquire about the news every day, but she has not received anything for a long time.

On this day, there was a good news sent back to Jingshi, but it was not from Jiangdu, but from Dongting.

Li Xian won the battle in Dongting, forced Bian Chunliang's army back, and was able to keep the important land in Dongting.

When the Emperor of the Holy Book heard the news, Long Yan was happy, and ordered the soldiers who reported the news to read out the good news in the early dynasty, and praised Li Xian in front of hundreds of civil and military officials.

Mrs. Chu heard it in his ears and snorted in his heart, but he was only temporarily forced to retreat, and he had not seen it like this when his students had won a big victory over Xu Zhengye before.
