Chapter 167: The world is extremely rich and two-jiazi, spring and autumn are fruitful and tirong
Even if the hero has no tears of sorrow, he is in the spirit of fighting. Seeing that the large red leaves on Xinglong Mountain are gradually withering, the three or two evergreen trees stand in the ten thousand withered bushes and look lonely, just like the mood of Zhang Jinshan, the world's rich armor at this time.
Every day, I don't know how many big treasurers, mine managers, and governors line up the mountain, and report one after another, and the business of various states and counties is closed, and the annexed ones are annexed.
Zhang Jinshan is haggard day by day, half of his life's work has been given to martial arts, half has been given to business, and seeing that in just half a year, tens of thousands of his businesses have been taken away by others, how can he not be moved?
Zhang Jinshan caressed a hundred-year-old pine that was twisted like a dragon, as if he saw his own struggling and painful heart.
"Once the wealth of the world is in the world, Zhang Jinshan monopolizes seven buckets, isn't it enough?" Hu Zhanshan's voice came from behind him.
Zhang Jinshan woke up from his trance, showed the sadness on his face, and said with a wry smile: "The world is rich, and he was beaten by an old scholar and retreated, what kind of words." ”
"The old book in your pocket is enough to feed 10,000 people for hundreds of years, what's the use of earning silver?"
"I have no children and no daughters in my life, what else can I worry about besides money?"
"It is said that it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, but what you have is money, even if you close all your business and don't do it, you still have a lot of gold and silver, and you can't scatter it for the rest of your life. ”
Zhang Jinshan shook his head bitterly and remained silent.
Lao Hu said again: "It seems that the name of the rich family in the world has shackled you, and you are really knotted." ”
Two nearly two-hundred-year-old men stood on the top of the mountain, with gray clouds overhead, covering the sky.
"Jinshan, are you willing to go out for a walk with me, there is a city not far from Tuotuo Ridge, so you should scatter your mind. It's no wonder that Yun'er and the little rabbit cubs and Brother Hongshan don't like to stay at home, you look at the old man and old lady in this room, they are gloomy and panicked. Let's go shopping around the city?" said the old mouse, frowning.
"Well, let's go. ”
These two are extremely rich and noble in the world, their faces are as white as jade, and they have three strands of long hair, although they are full of haggard faces at this time, they are also much more heroic than the mountain spirits and wild monsters who are less than five feet beside them. Walking together, it's really not a good match. A hundred miles away, for these two people, wouldn't it be just a matter of talking and laughing?
The square stone city is carved on the wall, and the wall is carved with three ordinary seal characters. The scene in the city is mediocre, but everyone has a very kind countenance, which makes people feel calm.
"Old Hu, this small city is so close to us, I haven't paid attention to it. Zhang Jinshan walked up to a beggar lying on the ground, and as he spoke, he habitually reached out and took out a small silver ticket and put it into the beggar's broken bowl.
When the beggar woke up in a daze, he saw a silver ticket among the eaters, and he didn't know which good man gave it. When I picked it up and looked left and right, I only knew the word "one" in front of me, and there were too many strokes of the word "Wan" in the back, which was really unrecognizable. However, the texture of this silver ticket is definitely a ticket issued by Jinshan Commercial Bank, and this piece of paper may be able to be exchanged for half a year's nest to eat. This silver ticket must be hidden, but the son and goddaughter who are working separately on the street corner will not be discovered, and the young man will have to suffer more, and when he really can't eat one day, he will take out the silver ticket. Look at our flower head, isn't it because he can endure hardships to save prestige, so that he can become the king of the fifteen flowers in the city.
"There aren't many people in this small city, do you calculate whether there are silent spies in Emperor Wu City. Zhang Jinshan said.
The secret courtyard of Emperor Wu City is pervasive, how can there be no silent spies. The son of the old beggar just now is. But if it were other than him, the old beggar would not have to die in a hurry. Just in this small Wanggui City, nearly twenty percent of the people are silent spies, but you look at the old and young on this street, they all think that their husbands, mothers-in-law and children are ordinary people, and they want to live an ordinary life for the rest of their lives. Whoever dies inexplicably in the family will destroy four or five people.
The old brothers walked all the way, the simple stone road, the inconspicuous door-face room, and the hawkers were doing business, but they were not bullied.
Zhang Jinshan was confused and absent-minded, Hu Zhanshan followed aside, taking a big stride, if others looked from behind, they thought it was an old man walking monkeys on the street.
"Hey, Jin Shan, look at this family, the gatehouse is one of the largest in the city, otherwise, let's go in and ask for a bowl of water to drink." Hu Zhanshan called Zhang Jinshan.
Zhang Jinshan, who looked indifferent, looked up and saw a medium-sized courtyard, with the word "Zhangfu" written on the gatehouse.
"I am from my own family, so let's go in and rest. ”
When the two walked into the courtyard, a family member stepped forward to greet them and said, "This master, what is the matter with visiting the house?"
When the man saw Zhang Jinshan dressed gracefully and luxuriously, and Hu Zhanshan on the side was coarse and linen, and he was rustic, he thought that he was a master and a servant, and only hugged Zhang Jinshan.
Zhang Jinshan replied: "This little brother, the two of us passed through here, and we were thirsty, and I happened to see that your house was also surnamed Zhang, and I was from my own family, and I had some fate, so I came in to ask for water." ”
"Oh, it turns out that five hundred years ago it was the same sect, sir, please come with me to the side hall for some tea and rice. ”
The two of them were not polite, and followed them to the side hall to sit down.
After a while, the tea and rice were served, although it was not elegant, but it was absolutely fresh. Strangers beg for saliva to drink, and the host's family can cook freshly, which is already extremely hospitable.
Zhang Jinshan has the habit of eating delicious food on weekdays, but this coarse tea and light rice is difficult to swallow, just drink a sip of water, and talk with the host. It's Hu Zhanshan, who has eaten too much of the high-quality food in Tuotuo Ridge, and today he tasted coarse tea and light rice, which is really appetizing. Anyway, the master ignored him, so he buried his head in the feast.
Zhang Jinshan said: "Thank you Brother Zhang for your hospitality today, when we leave in a while, we will leave some tea money." ”
The host said: "The lord is polite, although my family is not wealthy, but it is also the oldest family in the city, and there are many passing friends who come in to rest on weekdays. Grandma can't see now, but she tries to remind us that we can't take money from people when we invite them to have a tea and dinner. Also, my surname is not Zhang. Our whole family doesn't have the surname Zhang. There are many people in our family, with the surnames of two grandmothers, half surnamed Yu and half surnamed Zhou. The master just calls me Xiao Zhou. ”
"Oh, that's really another Zhang awe, I don't know if it is convenient for Yu and the old man on Tuesday, Zhang wants to visit the two people who are virtuous and long-lived. ”
"Of course you can, my grandmother can't see clearly now, and she is bored every day, just when someone is talking. ”
When Hu Zhanshan ate a ditch and was full of trenches, Xiao Zhou took Zhang Jinshan and Lao Hu to the side room to meet the two Rui Shouxing.
In the side room, the two old women sat peacefully, dressed neatly but not satin, because the rule left by the old generation was that maids should not wear silk and satin.
The two sisters were inseparable, chatted for a lifetime, guarded for a lifetime, and looked at for a lifetime, but they did not wait for their return. The city wall was built with money donated by the old sisters.
"Grandma, there is an old man surnamed Zhang who wants to pay a visit. "The little brother surnamed Zhou behaved in a proper manner.
"Hurry up and ask Master Zhang to come in. The old man said. Every time a guest with his surname rests, the old man must add the word "fast" in front of the word "please".
Zhang Jinshan and Lao Hu entered the door, and saw two centenarians sitting in front of the window.
"Two old sisters, Zhang is polite. Zhang Jinshan bowed to the two compassionate old men.
"Master Zhang, don't be polite, please sit down and talk. Mrs. Zhou replied with a smile.
Zhang Jinshan said: "Just now I passed in front of your mansion, I was hungry and thirsty, and I came to disturb and look at Haihan. ”
The old woman surnamed Yu said: "The old man is very polite, although our old sisters can't see with their eyes, they can also feel the weather outside, this god is covered by clouds, and it is going to snow." ”
Zhang Jinshan said: "The old sister is right, the black clouds that can't be seen at a glance, if this snow falls tonight, then next year must be a good year, and it will be a good year." I'm afraid that I won't be able to get down. ”
Mrs. Zhou said: "But isn't it, I haven't encountered a stuffy cloud or snow for several years, that is still when our sisters were children, they encountered a year of black clouds and stuffy for a month, and they were stunned that there was no snow, but the crops were damaged." Listening to Master Zhang's voice, his age should not have caught up with the strange weather that year. ”
"Hahaha, isn't it, the old sister is well-informed. It is said that there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, there are two old sisters in the family, but this house is a blessing. ”
Since entering this mansion, the world's rich armor, who was originally full of sadness, somehow got happy, and chatted with the two centenarians Rui for an afternoon, which was very speculative. Hu Zhanshan saw that his old friend could forget the knot in his heart, and he was stunned for a long time without saying a word.
It was finally dark, and the snow was falling as scheduled, as big as goose feathers.
"Two old ladies, it's getting late, and we should go too. ”
"Brother Zhang, let's fall in love, the guest rooms in this house are empty, you can stay here tonight, and wait for the snow to stop before leaving." ”
"No, the family is still waiting, and they will be worried if they don't go back. ”
The people of Zhangfu repeatedly retained, but they failed to leave anyone who returned home.
Just like ninety years ago, stepping on the heavy snow and walking out of this small mansion.
The old lady has been watching for 90 years, and today he is back. but they did not recognize each other. The old sisters will definitely not be able to wait for the next ninety years.
"Yurong, you said that this old man Zhang who came today ......" Old Lady Yu didn't finish her words.
"Hey, I sound like it, but how is it possible, we are both this age, old man, he ......" Mrs. Zhou didn't continue.
The two sat on the hot kang and fell into deep thought for a long time.
A long, long time ago, there was a village, and two girls were born in the same month of the same year, one named Zhou Yurong and the other Yu Furong. The two Nizi have been smart and sensitive since they were children, and they often play together.
One winter, black clouds fell from the sky, and one shade was two months smaller. In the second year, the wheat seedlings died in the spring, and what was planted in the field was not alive, but the old farmers were trapped.
The children of poor families have no way out anyway, let alone girls, so they are taken to the market. As far as the eye can see, there are little heads with straw inserted in them, some crying, some desperate, and pitiful.
It just so happened that an old man surnamed Zhang came here to do business, and he happened to buy Zhou Yurong and Yu Furong as maids.
Mr. Zhang built a big house in the village, bigger than the largest house that the two girls could imagine. Although they are maids, they are also children, and Master Zhang is reluctant to let them do hard work. Occasionally, he taught them to read and write.
These two girls are really smart, hardworking and kind. Yu Furong is like a lotus flower in spring, full of vitality and cleverness. Zhou Yurong is like an ear of grain in golden autumn, calm and full, gentle and well-behaved. A spring flower, an autumn fruit, is very pleasing to Master Zhang. So the two became the housekeepers of the family and the prime minister's internal affairs.
Mr. Zhang has a lot of money, and he has helped the whole village get rid of poverty, and the village has become the size of a small town in a year. The two girls naturally helped the old man take care of a lot of money.
Until one winter, a year later, in the evening of a snowy day, the old man went out to run errands and never came back. The two maids waited for ninety years. They were fifteen years old.
The main hall of the main house is only cleaned every day, and if the master does not come back, outsiders are not allowed to enter.
As a maid, she is a slave and a concubine, and she has to listen to the master's arrangement. But until the two of them were forty years old, they didn't see the old man come back, and the family was big, but the people were scarce. So the two of them adopted dolls separately, without the permission of their grandfather, they did not dare to take the surname Zhang, and followed their surnames, and now, they have been in the same house for four generations.
The year he left, they were still children. Returning at this time, the two are still girls.
Zhang Jinshan and Hu Zhanshan walked out of Wanggui City, but they did not fly back to Tuotuoling by land, but walked slowly step by step, slowly.
There was no moonlight in the snow, but it was as bright as day, and the snow was as thick as fog in the distance, and when the northwest wind blew, I couldn't open my eyes.
It is difficult to distinguish between heaven and earth with constant white fog;
The snow cage is not endless, and the distant mountains are colorless.
The wind can't finish blowing the white dust;
I don't know the gray clouds.
I can't see the yellow branches with the withered willows, which are hard to break;
The wound is unbearable, the grass is broken, and the artemisia is gradually crippled.
Listen to the thunder of the hungry beasts;
The smell is not fragrant enough, from the bitter cold plum fragrance pure.
Zhang Jinshan walked and walked with two lines of tears, one line to grief, and the other line to reminisce.
There are too many palaces and other courtyards in the world's rich families, and there are countless servants. He had long forgotten this little village, and he had long forgotten the two little maids.
But when he was helpless because of the sadness in his heart, he recognized the two little girls at first sight, although they were already dying, but they were still them, a spring bud and an autumn fruit.
He didn't recognize them, they were used to their current lives, to spending spring and autumn in anticipation, to watching the afterglow of the day sprinkle on the windowsill in anticipation.
When he comes back, it may only make them lose the concern in their hearts, and without care, they will have no strength to live. After all, their eyelids had drooped to obscure their vision, and it was difficult to see his face even if they were so persistent that they could open them that they couldn't see his face clearly.
"Lao Hu, in your early years, you told me that the world was extremely rich and two Jiazi, in order to reward the previous life for half a hundred years. It's been more than 100 years, and I haven't forgotten. I always thought that with my ability, how could all the wealth be lost all at once, but now I am convinced. Is this fate? It can't be changed?"
The heavy snow soon became more than a foot thick, Hu Zhanshan raised his legs and landed lightly, and with every step, the snow was on his crotch, and said: "I have studied life all my life, if I can change it, how can I not stay with her appearance......"
In the snowy night, more than a dozen figures rushed to Wanggui City, all of whom were masters. There are a few more people in the city who ask for food out of thin air, and there are a few new neighbors around Zhang's mansion. Early tomorrow morning, there will be people who are dying of cold and starvation at the gate of Zhang's mansion, and they will become domestic slaves after being rescued.
Wealth can be channeled, Zhang Jinshan has bought countless Deadpools in his life, but he left the most intimate nineteen people in Wanggui City. In the past, he guarded his wealth, but today he finds that there are still people to protect.
Before he became rich, he also carried burdens and sold cotton. Before the age of fifty, others called him Zhang Haoren, and he took out all his belongings to help others dozens of times. Therefore, the second half of Hu Zhanshan's instructions on his life are to reward his previous life for half a hundred years.
Later, when he became rich, others called him Zhang Shanren. Later, it became the wealth of the world in the mouth of others, and Zhang Jinshan monopolized the rich armor of the world in Qidou. Although there are more and more people being helped, how can this handouts compare with helping others with all their belongings when they are poor.
Zhang Jinshan finally smiled and smiled from the bottom of his heart.
He rose into the air, forming a huge cyclone outside his body, stirring the heavens and the earth to change color, and a huge snowball with a diameter of two or three zhang was held above Zhang Jinshan's head, and smashed towards the clouds with a loud cry.
All the burdens were thrown out with the snowball filled with internal force, stirring the wind and breaking through the clouds.
A ray of moonlight fell through the clouds, and the cold winter gave it a pale white like ice, but someone could use it to find warmth.
From today, Zhang Jinshan sold all his assets. Giving alms everywhere, only going in and out. vowed to scatter hundreds of millions of family wealth and return to the poor people in the world.
