Chapter 445: Parting Ways
Cheng Wulang didn't sleep well this night, and when he woke up, he scolded the third brother for not being a man with dark circles under his eyes.
He shouldn't have shown himself those things last night, it's disgusting!
Even if Cheng Wulang fell asleep last night, Zhao Jiajun hugged left and right in his dream, followed by a large number of big girls and little daughters-in-law, the picture was too beautiful to think about.
Since then, Cheng Wulang has completely distanced himself from Zhao Jiajun, anyway, they are not in the same class now, and their learning progress is much worse, so it is normal to stop doing homework together often.
When it was time to rest next time, Zhao Jiajun found that Cheng Wulang left first.
In order to avoid him, Cheng Wulang also took great pains to let the scholar pack his things early and put them in the carriage first, and then he was directly taken down the mountain by the scholar from the class.
Cheng Wulang doesn't have to go back to the house again, and naturally he won't 'meet' Zhao Jiajun again.
In fact, Zhao Jiajun is not unable to sit in a carriage, every time he comes to the day of the White Crane Academy, there are always some carriages, donkey carts, and ox carts waiting at the foot of the mountain, after all, they are all scholars, and it is really a little embarrassing for them to walk dozens of miles on foot.
Zhao Jiajun failed to get into Cheng Wulang's carriage this time, and scolded a few words in his mouth, so he could only hire a donkey cart at his own expense after going down the mountain.
He also wanted to hire a carriage, but the cost of the carriage was too high, and his monthly money was now counted, and it was uncomfortable to stretch out his hand to ask a woman for money, so he could save it if he could, and try not to ask Wang Ximeng.
Second, the carriage at the foot of the mountain was hired very quickly today, and Zhao Jiajun came down slowly because he was waiting for Cheng Wulang, so he could only choose a donkey cart or an ox cart.
Zhao Jiajun specified that he would not choose an ox cart, thinking that it was only used by the Zhuang family, and that he was a showman, so it was most suitable to use the carriage.
But the wagon is gone, and the donkey cart can be topped.
In fact, Zhao Jiajun is too vain, there are many people in the capital who ride ox carts, where is it as unbearable as he said.
Wang Ximeng's income this month is not bad, and there is growth, so his attitude towards Zhao Jiajun is obviously much more enthusiastic.
However, because she was pregnant, Zhao Jiajun still went to the lotus room at night.
Wang Ximeng didn't care about this for a long time, she can be regarded as seeing it clearly, in the era of paying attention to human rights and fairness everywhere in her previous life, men cheating abounded, and now Zhao Jiajun is just putting people under her nose to raise, for her, it is easier to handle.
The next day, Zhao Jiajun proposed to take some silver money to buy books, but Wang Ximeng didn't ask much, and directly took five taels of silver to him.
This made Zhao Jiajun a little surprised, after all, Wang Ximeng had to ask him what books he bought, how many books to buy, which bookstore to buy and so on.
Don't even ask now?
Zhao Jiajun didn't think about it, he got the silver in his hand first, he pondered that he could buy two books and some paper, and he could still have two taels of silver left, which was his own private money, and he had to save it well.
Cheng Wulang's side was taken to Xie Mansion by Cheng Jingzhou, and the two new recruits of the Xie family were there, and several people discussed knowledge together, and mentioned the affairs of the court, communicating with each other, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Sometimes the biggest difference between the children of an official family and the children of a peasant family may not be how talented they are, nor whether they are rich in money, but whether they are broad-minded.
So where does this insight come from?
is like the best network resources that Xie Xiuwen could access when he was studying before, and it is estimated that they are Xu Shanchang and Wang Hanlin.
After all, Wang Hanlin is the son of Wang Qinshan, and Xu Shanchang was once the emperor's teacher.
Although they will have many sources, they are not in the court after all, and there will be slight differences in opinions.
Later, Cheng Jingzhou followed Xie Xiuwen to study, and came into contact with either the son of an official eunuch or the son of a powerful person, and his views on many policies in the court were also slightly different, and they had their own opinions, and this kind of opinion was something that ordinary peasant sons could not think of anyway.
Because he has never been in contact with it, even if he is allowed to express his opinion, it is only the most superficial level.
For example, what he can see will be the pros and cons of the people, and how much impact it will have on taxes.
For example, Cheng Jingzhou at that time, he would think a lot, such as what kind of impact it would have on the situation in the court, what kind of obstacles would be hindered in the actual implementation of various places, whether the expected results could be obtained, etc., and he would even consider how there would be no changes in the governance of the country in the next ten years once this policy was implemented.
This is because the height of the station is different, and the depth of the problem is different.
Since Cheng Wulang entered Beijing, under the recommendation of Cheng Jingzhou, he has come into contact with some truly knowledgeable and talented literati, rather than those pure literati who only know poetry and songs, which will slowly open his horizons and let him think about the problem from a high level.
The more contact with these really capable people, the more Cheng Wulang can find his own shortcomings, and he doesn't need to be urged by others, he knows that he should study hard, and not only to understand books such as the Four Books and the Five Classics, but more importantly, his thinking has changed, and he can't be too rigid, blindly doing things according to the teachings in the books, which is very likely to attract a strong backlash.
The change in Cheng Wulang is that even Mrs. Cheng and the Liu family, who don't understand the government, can see it.
Naturally, they were genuinely happy.
There are not many people in the Cheng family who are talented in reading, and the farther ones are relatives.
In this generation, except for Cheng Jingyan who won the lift, Cheng Jingzhou who won the Tanhua, only Cheng Wulang won the Xiucai, and the others were not successful, so now they have consciously followed the elders to take care of the housework.
It's better to do this way, so that the brothers can get together to fight for the family property.
And the juniors have a future, and they won't just stare at the Cheng family's little industry, just like Cheng Jingzhou, although his current income is not much, the most important thing is to accumulate contacts, which ordinary people can't buy with no amount of money.
Therefore, sometimes a letter of recommendation from Cheng Jingzhou may be able to help the clansmen solve a big trouble.
Zhao Jiajun is now resting every time, in addition to going out to buy some necessary things, he basically reads at home, but Wang Ximeng also knows that he usually messes around with lotus flowers at night.
In this regard, Wang Ximeng didn't care, anyway, he only came back twice a month, and he had a big belly, so it was not good for him to hold back, in case he went directly to the building outside to find the girl, and then came back with a dirty disease, it would be bad!
Some things, once you think about it, you will find that they are actually not that bad.
For example, Wang Ximeng, who insisted on not wanting Zhao Jiajun to take a concubine, now he doesn't even think that it is incomprehensible for a man to have a concubine.
