"Fighting crickets?"

Wang Zhong suddenly smiled, "Xu Tongzheng, to put it mildly, a few years ago, when I was a teenager, I caught crickets everywhere, at that time, a superb good cricket could be exchanged for five catties of fine grain, and one year I caught two in a row, and changed ten catties of noodles...... Now that the Hou is sealed, all the meals are japonica rice and white noodles, but they can't taste good. ”

Xu Jingchang smiled, "It's not that the face is not fragrant, but the heart is big." The so-called people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, if Jing'anhou can retract his heart, he may have a great future in the future. ”

Xu Jingchang said, he had already opened the cricket jar, picked up a straw stick, and teased the cricket.

Wang Zhong was stunned for a moment, and then sighed, "What you said is right, but it's not right. Who doesn't want to live a better life, eat all the clothes, and eat and drink? The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and how many of them can really be honest and self-controlled, and do not take a penny? Let's just say that these people who read the books of the sages keep saying that they are for the country and the people, but how much are they greedy in private? Compared to them, I am nothing more than a drop in the bucket. ”

Xu Jingchang didn't refute, but said with a smile: "Jing'anhou, a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, after all, it is really unreasonable to openly corrupt the law of the country." If you can do some business, Dafa Lishi is also good. ”

Wang Zhong paused, and smiled helplessly, "It's easy to say, but I'm a big boss, I don't know anything, and I still make a fortune?" Just don't lose it. ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "That's okay, I also set up a school and cultivated a lot of talents." It's been a few months, and when I go out, I'm ready to show my strength, is Jing'anhou interested in participating? ”

Wang Zhong's eyes rolled, and he suddenly smiled, "I'm not very good at using my brain, and I'm reckless and impulsive, I have to think about it carefully and figure out the stakes in it...... Xu Tongzheng won't blame, right? ”

Xu Jingchang said: "How come, what are you joking about, don't joke about real money and your life...... As officials, we must learn to think twice. ”

"Think twice?"

"That's right, it's thinking about danger, thinking about retreat, thinking about change." Xu Jingchang said with a smile.

Wang Zhong's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly leaned over and said, "Xu Tongzheng, can you speak carefully?" ”

"Yes, the so-called thinking of danger is to see clearly where the danger is, although the high-ranking officials are prominent, but the high places are not cold, open guns and hidden arrows, ambushes on all sides, can't see the danger clearly, and if you step into it, you will lose your life, so the first step for an official is to think about danger."

Wang Zhong thought for a while, nodded and said: "Yes, I just can't see the danger clearly, and I entered the prison all of a sudden, fortunately, Your Majesty is lenient, otherwise you will rush into the official office at me, and put it in the Hongwu Dynasty, it is estimated that the head will fall to the ground." ”

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "This is thinking about danger, the second step is to think about retreating, and if you see the danger clearly, you must avoid danger, seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and it is normal for people to do so." You have to retreat to a place where others can't see you, recharge your energy, observe the situation, reflect on yourself, and think clearly inside and out. ”

Wang Zhong shook his head vigorously, "This is even more true, when I go out, I will reflect on it behind closed doors and think clearly." ”

Xu Jingchang continued: "The third step is to think about change, the original road is not working, we must choose a new road, open up new fields, and expand new space. In the original road, we can't outrun others, we don't have to hold on, we can change the track. If you can't beat it, it's not a shame to dodge, after all, this capital is full of smart people from the entire Ming Dynasty, and it is natural that they can't beat them. It is reasonable to be played as a monkey. You say, don't you? ”

Wang Zhong hesitated for a while, suddenly turned his head, looked at Xia Yuanji's room, and couldn't help gritting his teeth.

That's right, although it was Xu Jingchang who finally impeached him and sent him to prison, but the person who did the real bad thing was Xia Yuanji, and he still dragged His Royal Highness down, making it clear that he was thinking of himself as the chicken!

It's disgusting!

"Xu Tongzheng, don't talk about business, in the future, I Wang Zhong will come to ask for advice, and if you encounter anything, please ask Xu Tongzheng for advice."

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "It's easy to say, I'm young, I'm straight, and sometimes I don't have a mouthful, so I also ask Jing'an Hou to take care of one or two." ”

Wang Zhong hurriedly smiled, "Xu Tongzheng is polite, if you want to talk about it, your Xu family is the head of the generals, we are just from thousands of households, and we are lucky to follow Your Majesty, so we have today, where can we compare to the founding heroes who fought bloody battles for decades and laid down the Ming Dynasty." From Xu Tongzheng, I can see the power of your family, and I am convinced! ”

I have to say that when people go to prison, their IQ and EQ are improving rapidly.

Not long ago, Wang Zhong was going to enter Xia Yuanji's mother, and scolded him in court...... Now they have learned to flatter and pat horses.

Xu Jingchang is in prison, and his life can't be said to be sad, he can only say that in addition to not being able to go out, he is almost the same as his family!

The best silk cotton was asleep, the water was continuous, the stove was burning, the palace sent Lu'an tea, Tieguanyin, and Queen Xu was reluctant to let her nephew be wronged.

was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he sent a leopard skin mattress that Zhu Di hunted over.

Zhu Zhanji, this kid, can be regarded as a conscience, and after sending a fish, he brought Hai Dongqing over all day long.

Then Xu Jingchang had nothing at hand.

Pine nuts, dried fruits, stove sugar, folk dim sum in the palace, roast chicken, roast duck, pig's head meat...... The table was full.

That's not all, all kinds of fresh vegetables and fruits, chicken, fish and duck meat, all sent in one go.

Xu Jingchang's cooking skills are really good, frying and frying, and the knives and spoons are noisy.

was stunned to make the prison prison a big Ming on the tip of the tongue.

He cooked in it, Wang Zhong gave him a hand, and after it was done, the two of them ate together. Although Wang Zhong was a marquis, he was not well-known and did not enjoy anything before the Jingjing.

Since he learned Xu Jingchang's craft, he has been a five-body thrower, eating every meal cleanly, and not even leaving a little soup base for those people.

The six Shangshu, important ministers of the court, gritted their teeth one by one, watching the two of them eat and drink, and the urge to strangle them was gone.

Especially Wang Zhong, who also took the rock sugar elbow that had been stewed for an hour and a half, ran to Xia Yuanji, and munched on it, and ate it deliciously.

This can make Xia Yuanji angry, but there is no way.

After all, he didn't have the queen's aunt to take care of, and he didn't have the emperor's grandson to send food...... Not only did he not, but neither did the courtiers.

The big guy could only gnaw on the blackened hard cakes, drink the vegetable soup without a drop of oil, and looked at Xu Jingchang, drooling a long saliva.

They know that going to prison is not the most painful, the most terrible thing is that people are like going on vacation, and they are in prison for years.

This taste is worse than Ling Chi.

Seeing that it was the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the courtiers could no longer hold back.

Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated!

When death is on the verge of death, there is still a good meal, and with our status, and we have not understood the condemnation, we are just locked up, and we are not given food or drink, it is better to kill us with a knife.

The ministers were furious, pulling their necks and shouting.

After half an hour of scolding, the prison finally gave up, and sent in a jar, after opening, it was full of old pickled radish, and I don't know how long it had been, and there was a layer of rancid things floating on it, exuding the smell of stinky feet that had not been washed for twenty years.

Seeing this scene, the ministers completely broke the defense.

It's too much of a deception!

Then Jian Yi, Xia Yuanji, Song Li, Liu Jun, and the big guys looked at each other and came towards Xu Jingchang's room together.

Wang Zhong was still resting on his belly, thinking about what to eat for Chinese New Year's Eve. Suddenly, he felt a strong murderous aura, he turned over and stood up, took three steps and two steps, rushed to the front of Xu Jingchang's room, and glared at the ministers.

"What are you doing?"

The eyes of these people were red, "Jing'anhou, don't look at you as a military general, but you don't have armor and weapons, and you're just a person." There are so many of us, and so far, we can only break the net and beat you two to death! ”

Wang Zhong subconsciously swallowed and spitted, "Aren't you afraid of Your Majesty's thunderous wrath?" ”

"Afraid! But the law does not blame the public, and when it comes to this point, we don't care about anything, Your Majesty can't kill all the six departments and nine secretaries. Xu Tongzheng, you forced us! ”

While speaking, these Shangshu waiters actually picked up the bench and toilet one after another, and they all hugged each other and smashed Xu Jingchang to pieces.

Xu Jingchang's face also changed, it was bad, it was really hard to say what the angry courtiers could do...... Heroes don't suffer immediate losses.

"Jian Shangshu, Xia Shangshu, you can't bully children, it's all good to discuss for the New Year...... Why don't I treat the big guys to a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and I'll take charge of it myself? ”

Hearing this, the faces of several people were slightly better.

But the waiter in the back, Gu Pu, suddenly said angrily: "No, just that Hai Dongqing, how much food can you bring?" There are so many of us, if we want to eat, we can eat together, or the fish will die, the net will be broken, and the jade will be burned! ”

Those Shangshu lords, whose faces had just eased, were also sweating at the moment.

It's bad, the crowd is too excited, and it's really hard to clean up.

At this moment, a yellow figure suddenly appeared on the wall of the prison, and let out an excited bark.

Xu Jingchang was very familiar, and hurriedly separated everyone and rushed to the courtyard from his room.

Rhubarb carried two bags of food, rushed down from the wall, ran directly in front of Xu Jingchang, and rubbed his head against Xu Jingchang's thigh.

"What a dog! You've saved my life! ”

Xu Jingchang's tears fell, he quickly took the food, and said to Da Huang: "Thank you for your hard work, run a few more times, and bring in as many things as I want." ”

Then Xu Jingchang turned his head to look at everyone and said loudly: "Don't shout, you have all shared!" It's not okay to have a share! ”
