Reasons for seclusion

Yan Ling glanced at the small earthen pot and said, "This is where it grew before?"

Wang also looked over, his expression was gloomy, and he nodded slightly. In the past, there was a peculiar existence that could share his joys, sorrows, and sorrows, but there will be no more in the future! Wang's heart was blocked uncomfortably.

Seeing that Wang was in a bad mood, Yan Ling kept his mouth shut and turned around and walked out of the wooden house. There is a large flower stand on the left and right sides of the door, on which different varieties of flowers are placed, Yan Ling took a closer look and found that there are many rare varieties, some of which are even priceless. After looking at it, Yan Ling couldn't help smacking his lips, turned around and saw that Wang Mou also walked out, and said with a smile: "Wang Gongzi really planted a lot of flowers, did they all pick them back by himself?"

Wang approached with a smile and nodded: "These are the flowers and plants I have found all over the mountains over the years. I saw that they were all growing well, so I picked some of them and planted them in the yard. ”

After thinking about it, she asked a little stiffly: "That, I wonder if Prince Wang would mind telling us the reason for your seclusion?"

Wang Gongzi's expression paused slightly, and he suddenly smiled with relief: "Why not?"

"I used to be a rich kid in Wucheng under the mountain, I was young and vigorous, and I wanted to gain fame. My parents were against it, they wanted me to learn business from them, but I had no appetite for money and would not approve of their proposals. At that time, I embarked on the road of scientific examination without hesitation, and in just three years, I was able to show my talents and lift people in the examination, and I was supported by my parents. At that time, I thought that my career would be so smooth, but I took the palace test, but just two days before the palace test, a high-ranking minister in the court asked to meet me. At that time, I was in the mood of winning the lottery, and I went to the banquet happily, and I was really high-spirited at that time, thinking that since there were ministers who took a fancy to me, it must be because of my amazing knowledge, and I naturally wanted to get along with them and communicate with them. The singing and dancing were peaceful, and the feast was over, and just as I was about to leave the table, the minister met with me in private. He said, "The young man has done a very good job, he is full of talent, he is a pillar of talent, if someone pulls him, he will be able to rise soon." ”

At that time, I thought that he was interested in my talent and wanted to support me, but the excitement in my heart can be imagined, but in his next words, it was all frozen.

He said, "If you join my disciples, I will not treat you badly in the future, and the little girl is at the right age to be married, and you and I will become masters and apprentices, and we will be in-laws, and we will be happy to kiss and kiss, how about it?"

Whoever this happened to, he should have cried with joy. ”

Yan Ling on the side also nodded in agreement when he heard this, didn't he just want to sleep, and someone happened to give him a pillow?

"At that time, I had a strong heart, and I wanted to use my talents to convince His Majesty and become the mainstay of the court, and for that minister, my idea was to befriend, and even one day I could be an equal, or be his protΓ©gΓ©, but when he said that he wanted to marry his daughter to me, I felt insulted. I am a dignified seven-foot man, a successful young man, even if I don't rely on anyone, just my own school hours are enough to impress the emperor. If I marry him and take his daughter, then in the eyes of outsiders, I am a mediocre person who relies on the nepotism of my wife. At that time, I was so arrogant, how could I endure such an insult, even if I refused strongly, because I wanted to come, I was about to take the palace test, even if I couldn't get along with it, with my talent, I was also settled in the middle palace hall.

At that time, his face was full of anger, and he gave me four words: "Don't regret it!" At that time, I just sneered and didn't take it seriously, and it wasn't until two days later that I understood what it meant to use a mantis arm as a car.

That day, I packed up everything and was about to go to the temple exam, but I was stopped halfway through and poured wine and threw it into the restaurant. I missed the temple test that day.

After I woke up, I desperately tried to enter the palace, but it was too late, not only the palace examination had ended, but also heard the news that the emperor learned that I did not go to the examination on the day of the palace examination but was drunk in the restaurant and was furious.

At that time, I knew who had harmed me, and I went to cry out for injustice, to investigate and confront me, but in vain. Later, I was warned by the minister that if I looked for trouble again, I didn't know how high the sky was, and I would want the lives of my parents, and he secretly ordered my parents to be charged with crimes, causing my family's wealth to be scattered. It was then that I realized how self-conscious I was at the beginning, and the light of the fireflies was delusional in trying to compete with the sun and the moon. I also understand that officialdom is dark and the sky is unfair. Then I became disheartened and quit my home and lived in seclusion. I didn't expect that ten years had passed!" Wang sighed.

"I see!" Yan Ling could only say four words after hearing this, what else could she say? She didn't know what to say about this kind of thing.

On the side, Xin Xiao spoke: "Don't say anything else, just say a little, you are doing very badly! Your parents are not traveling far away, and you not only traveled far away, but you haven't gone back to see them for ten years, you really shouldn't be!"

Yan Ling glanced at Xin Xiao in surprise, but he didn't expect Xin Xiao, who had always spoken little in front of people, to say these words. She thought that Wang would be angry when she heard this, but she didn't.

Wang's cheeks were flushed after hearing this, and he sighed and said, "Shame! Wang has lived for more than 20 years, and he is not as good as a teenager. At the beginning, my heart was distraught, and my parents were not, and if it wasn't for me who caused them, how could they have caused this unjustified disaster. I didn't do my filial piety in front of them after the accident, but hid in the mountains by myself, leaving them with no one to rely on, which was really in vain! In fact, I had already figured it out just now, instead of cowering and hiding in the mountains, it was better to go home and start over, even if nothing was accomplished, at least my parents were by my side, so that they would not be left with nothing to rely on. ”

Hearing him say that he wanted to go back, Yan Ling suddenly felt happy in his heart, this kind of thing is useless for others to say, only if he figures it out will it be solved. "Don't worry, as long as you are willing to work hard, life will not be bad, if you can't be an official, you can make money, isn't there still an imperial businessman now, if one day you can also become an imperial businessman, are you afraid that you won't be able to avenge the original revenge? And if your parents see you, they will be very happy." ”

Wang Mou smiled, went down again, and asked Yan Ling: "Does a plant that has become a spirit have a soul?"
