Yang Tong and Yang Xin followed Mr. Zhuangzi into the rich man's living room, where they saw a middle-aged man dressed in brocade clothes.

This man is the Marquis of Jianhe, the person Mr. Zhuangzi is looking for.

Yang Tong and Yang Xin didn't know what Zhuangzi was looking for this person, but they saw Jian Hehou ask curiously: "Mr. Zhuangzi is here, but he is a rare guest." I don't know why Mr. Zhuangzi came to me today? ”

Zhuangzi said with some shame: "I can't open the pot at home, and I want to ask the Marquis of Jianhe to borrow a liter and a half of grain to solve the current urgent need." ”

When Jian Hehou heard this, he thought to himself, how can this work.

The expression on his face was: "Mr. Zhuangzi came to me to borrow grain, and I must be willing to lend it to Mr. Zhuangzi." Why don't you lend my husband three hundred taels of gold after I receive the tax from the common people? ”

When Zhuangzi heard this, his face turned pale with anger, and he said angrily: "When I came just now, I heard the sound of shouting, and I looked around and saw a crucian carp in the dry rut.

I asked it, "What do you do, crucian carp?"

The crucian carp replied, "I was originally a courtier of the god of the sea in the East China Sea. Do you have a liter and a half of water to keep me alive?

I said, "Yes, I'm going to the south to lobby the kings of Wu and Yue to bring water from the Xijiang River to pick you up, is that okay?"

The crucian carp's face changed, and he said angrily: I have lost the water I usually need, I have no place to live, I only need to get a liter and a half of water to live, you actually said this, it is better to go to the dried fish shop to find me as soon as possible! ”

After Zhuangzi finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Only the face of the Marquis of Jian Hehou was left with a very unsightly expression.

Yang Tong and Yang Xin followed Zhuangzi out of the mansion of the Marquis of Jianhe, and Yang Tong asked curiously, "Mr. Zhuangzi, what do you mean by what you said just now?" ”

Zhuangzi tried his best to calm himself down and replied, "I mean that when he has collected the rent of three hundred taels of gold, he will lend it to me, but I am afraid that I will starve to death." It shows that far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and it is also a matter of common sense. This incident also made me see clearly, Jian Hehou is a fake and generous, really stingy hypocrite. He just likes to talk big, talk empty words, and don't solve my actual problems. Children, when you grow up, you must be an honest person, and the attitude of an honest person is to talk less empty words and do more practical things. ”

Yang Tong and Yang Xin nodded as if they didn't understand, this should be the meaning of the fish in the rut!

Yang Xin asked curiously: "Mr. Zhuangzi, you are so talented and learned, why don't you become an official?" ”

Zhuangzi looked at the two children and said, "If it is a turtle, do you think it would prefer to live and roll in the mud or be praised and worshiped after it dies?" ”

Yang Xin didn't understand, looked at Yang Tong, Yang Tong thought about it and replied, "I should want to live!" ”

Zhuangzi nodded and replied, "That's the truth. Besides, the highest state of my life is to be free and contented, to have spiritual freedom, and to be a great official will be bound and have no freedom to speak of, which is not in line with my own pursuit; Secondly, the unspoken rule of officialdom is that "accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger", the slightest carelessness is difficult to protect, and the risk is too great. I don't want to be an official, just be an idler. ”

Yang Tong felt that it made sense after hearing this, he didn't like to be bound, and Yang Xin liked to pursue freedom even more.

Yang Tong admired Mr. Zhuangzi a little, and asked again: "That gentleman has no money, how can he live?" ”

Zhuangzi thought for a moment and replied, "When I go home, I will write a few paintings and sell them, and I will definitely be able to give you a full meal." ”

Yang Tong whispered something in Yang Xin's ear, and Yang Xinbian generously took out a bag from his clothes and handed it to Zhuangzi.

Zhuangzi asked curiously, "What is this?" ”

Yang Tong replied: "Mr. Zhuangzi, this is for you, you can take it!" ”

After Yang Tong finished speaking, he pulled his sister away, and Zhuangzi was a little stunned when he saw the back of the two leaving.

Then I opened the bag and saw that it was a silver ingot.

When Zhuangzi wanted to go to Yang Tong and Yang Xin again, he found that they had disappeared.

Yang Tong and Yang Xin's money came from a very correct way, it was in the Song Dynasty, and the twenty taels of silver earned by teaching a trickster boss should be able to make Mr. Zhuangzi live a good life.

How much is twenty taels of silver, Yang Tong and Yang Xin didn't count, but it must be no problem to buy a few liters of rice.

Yang Tong and Yang Xin were brought back to their world by the Rubik's Cube, and at the same time, a pattern was formed on the Rubik's Cube again.

It happened that Zhang Jing happened to walk to the room and saw the two children sitting obediently, because in her opinion, the two children should not be so quiet!

Yang Tong also suddenly said to his mother; "Mom, I want to learn to paint and become a painter when I grow up."

Zhang Jing sighed and asked, "Why did you suddenly remember to learn to draw?" ”

Yang Tong replied very seriously; "In order to be able to live freely in the future, I want to learn to draw."

Zhang Jing frowned, thinking that Yang Tongtong had become so mature, and what had changed him?
