Chapter Sixty-Four: People Are Cruel to Me, I'm Even Harder
In the early morning, facing the north wind, an ordinary carriage that could no longer be ordinary slowly walked out of the newly opened gate of the capital. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Then, a woman in a green coat wearing a cloak drove a fast horse and followed. The carriage came to a halt after ten miles.
The light horse also stopped. The man in the cab of the carriage was wearing a wide hat, and without looking up, his face could not be seen at all, but he could be seen wearing a green coat, and the hand that stretched out to control the bridle was very young.
The woman on the light horse originally had her entire head tightly wrapped in a cotton hat, but at this moment she stretched out a pink jade wrist and lifted the hat, but it was Hong Qingyi.
"Three less. Hong Qingyi shouted softly.
The young driver on the carriage did not look back, nor did he look up, but said indifferently without any expression: "Miss Hong, you take care of people for me, I'll do something and come back immediately." ”
Hong Qingyi nodded lightly: "Okay." ”
Mufu.
Although Mu Lingdao is a eunuch, because of his special status, he is favored by the current saint, and he is treated specially, and he has his own mansion. Moreover, the wooden mansion, which is magnificently built, deep and secluded, fully equipped, and beautiful, is definitely not inferior to the mansion of any high-ranking official.
In particular, it is worth mentioning that there is a plum garden in the backyard of Mufu, when the snow falls, holding a wine glass and stepping on the crisp snow, watching the scene of fragrant plum and proud snow, it is a little close to the elegant taste of the literati so-called "stepping on the snow to find plums".
Obviously, after some arduous rolling and climbing, Mu Lingdao has summed up a very important piece of information: whether it is the Yuan Taizu Temujin or the current ancestor Kublai Khan, although they swept the world with incomparably strong iron horses and strong force, they all unanimously respected Confucian culture.
Mu Ling Taoist Dao is poor, naturally cannot afford the relatively expensive tuition, to use the language of later generations, he almost lacks Chinese at the beginning.
His success largely depends on the fact that he comes from the lowest level of the people and has a relatively thorough understanding of the etiquette of the people. The most important thing is that he is good at learning, in his free time, he often discusses some customs and culture with some learned civil officials, and it is said that since ancient times, literati have a sense of arrogance in their bones, but arrogance does not work in officialdom, in the strange and muddy waters of officialdom, arrogance will only be a few fragile bubbles, and it will quickly disappear if it can't withstand a few blows of the monstrous waves.
The literati in the officialdom, after the realistic and cruel competition and elimination, can survive, all of them are human spirits.
Therefore, when the saint's favored minister, Mu Gonggong, was ashamed to ask them, they consciously magnified their dignity and obtained the satisfaction of respect, so they naturally spared no effort to impart their knowledge to Mu Gonggong through "discussion".
Those who reciprocate the favor and give Mu Lingdao favors, Mu Lingdao also uses his ability and means to make those people or himself or his family members receive considerable benefits.
Of course, the so-called Cao Cao also has a close friend, Guan Gong also has a rival.
There are also some people who don't buy his account, for example, Hong Jinshou of the Criminal Department, and Fu Dansa Fu of the Ministry of Industry.
Well, ignorant people do need to let him grow his knowledge at some point, but Father-in-law Mu didn't have time to implement some popular science programs, and Hong Jinshou was suddenly suspended from his post without pay, obediently, it seems that Hong Jinshou has offended a lot of people.
Now, there is only Fu Dansa who is more smelly and hard than the stone of the latrine, and he is even more hateful than Hong Jin's hand.
Hong Jinshou just ignored his invitation, and Fu Dansa directly dared to say in front of his ministers that he was simply a ruffian who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it.
Not to mention that the uncle can endure the aunt or not, even if his eldest uncle and his second uncle can endure the neighbor's third aunt and six mothers-in-law, they can't bear it.
Of course, the person who knows you best is not your friend, but your enemy.
Fu Dansa can stand in such a high position in the brutal officialdom, naturally he is definitely not a stupid person, he dares to directly offend Mu Lingdao, a celebrity in front of the saint, obviously it will not be like an Internet troll in later generations.
He naturally has a considerable understanding of the power of the Wood Spirit Dao, but he is still so "brave", then, he can only explain one thing, he is not afraid of the Wood Spirit Dao.
It is also said that although Fu Dansa does not have the prominent status and power of Li Shouzhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, but from the dispatch of weapons in foreign warfare to the management of large and small things at all levels of civil crafts, most of the time he is what he says, especially in the era of Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, the rapid development of the handicraft industry is unprecedented, and the business groups and work groups involved are very extensive. The Ministry of Industry, like a huge and invisible net, firmly envelops thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and is the cornerstone of social stability.
Therefore, Mu Lingdao would rather deal with Hong Jinshou than declare war on Fu Dansa when he turned over the table. However, now, Lao Hong has fallen, and he has just been happily preparing to gather all his strength to deal with Fu Dansa, when Xiao Wall is in trouble, and his right-hand man Fu Gongwei's entire family has been wiped out!
Although Fu Gongwei is definitely not the only spokesperson he arranged to cooperate with Mengjia, he knows that among all the spokespersons, Fu Gongwei is undoubtedly the most outstanding and excellent!
Therefore, he did not hesitate to surrender his identity, and personally went to the matchmaker to tell Fu Gongwei a daughter-in-law and put Fu Gongwei in a stable home.
Confucianism, first govern the family, and then level the world.
Home may be a burden of hard work, but without home, it is like duckweed without roots, even if it has gone through a long and long journey, even if it has gone through countless hard work, in the end it is just a trace of scenery along the way.
Without the care of home, without the backing of home, the most wonderful life is like a war without a strategic purpose, I don't know for whom the blood is shedding my life and fighting for whom, and the sacrifice is even more meaningless, such a war, can it still be fought?
In the middle of the plum garden, there is a pavilion with a stone table in the pavilion.
On the stone table there was a pot of wine, a plate of cumin and a plate of osmanthus cake.
The strange thing is that there are actually two wine glasses and two pairs of chopsticks on the table Mu Lingdao had already filled two glasses of wine very early, but he didn't drink them for a long time, obviously waiting for someone.
Sin, what kind of person dares to be so bold, dare to make the government and the opposition awe-inspired?
Mu Lingdao, who was sixty years old, had turned gray on his temples, and he looked a little old, but his face was still extremely ruddy, his eyes were also bright, his wrists resting on the table were still full of muscles, and his slender fingers were gently tapping on the table, and the gentle rhythm was full of contradictory betrayal of heaviness and entanglement.
His gaze was focused on the faint glow of the eastern sky.
In the silent plum garden, someone suddenly coughed softly.
Mu Lingdao's face didn't seem to move, but he lowered the position of his eyes, and his gaze covered a handsome young man in Tsing Yi - the fingers on the table paused, and a little cloudy eyes suddenly flashed a glimmer of light, and the corners of his mouth curved, as if revealing a smile of expectation. The most rare thing is that a proud Mu Gonggong actually stood up, raised his hand and said, "But the three young people of the Dream Family are in front of you?"
Meng nodded slightly and said, "It is the middle of the dream of the rivers and lakes." ”
Meng was not polite and strode up to the pavilion.
Mu Ling said, "If I said that I would expect you to come to me, can you believe it?"
Meng looked at the two sets of cups and chopsticks on the table, and his eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance.
"Come and come, it's rare for the three young people to come, it should have been a good reception, but in extraordinary times, I can only accompany it with a glass of wine. ”
Classmate Meng nodded lightly and said, "Father-in-law Mu is polite, you are the benefactor of Brother Fu, equal to his relatives and elders, and you are also the elder of the kid." ”
Mu Ling said happily: "Really, then, you call me uncle." ”
Meng said, "Uncle Mu." ”
"Hahaha-" Although Mu Lingdao's laughter was a little sharp because of his physical defects, it couldn't hide that he was sincerely happy.
There are definitely not many outsiders who can call "uncle" the three young dreamers at the head of the "Four Great Sons of Jiangnan", which is undoubtedly a special honor. He knew that although he was very glamorous in the court, in the eyes of people like Sanshao, it was likely that he would not have the value of a glass of wine!
The most important thing is that even if he lives far away in the capital, he also has a lot of information about Sanshao - just kidding, if he doesn't know anything about something as big as Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he is blind and deaf.
To be able to become an elder of a young man with courage and ability, what a blessing God has bestowed!
It's just that when Fu Gongwei was mentioned, Mu Lingdao's eyes dimmed, and he sighed gloomily, and said: "Xiao Fu him-hey, perhaps, I hurt him, I have a shallow understanding of human greed, underestimate the bad roots of some fanatics, let Xiao Fu run on the cusp of the waves, encounter misfortune, hey......"
Meng glanced at him and didn't speak.
Mu Lingdao's eyes froze, and he said, "Sanshao, you are ......"
Meng sighed and said, "I have called you 'uncle' so sincerely, but your 'uncle' did not make me feel the affection that you should express as an elder. ”
Mu Lingdao was slightly stunned and said, "Sanshao, what do you say?"
Meng said lightly: "I don't believe you won't know the truth about Brother Fu's murder." ”
Mu Lingdao was stunned, then lifted the wine jug, poured wine for classmate Meng and himself, then put down the wine jug, and sighed softly: "Sanshao, I not only know the cause of Xiaofu's death, but also know that you were also forced to leave the capital by your second brother." ”
Meng nodded and said: "That's how it should be, you are always waiting for the kid here in such a cold weather, naturally you are looking for a breakthrough opportunity, the kid is from the rivers and lakes, he is used to being happy and hateful, and he is not used to dealing with things in a secretive way." So, you don't have to waste your energy doing things that don't have the slightest use. ”
Mu Lingdao slapped the table and said the word "good", and then said in a dark and solemn voice: "Sanshao, since this is the case, then, what is Sanshao's plan?"
Meng took out a neatly folded piece of paper and handed it to Mu Lingdao. Mu Lingdao took it, unfolded it and took a look, suddenly, his whole body trembled violently, his eyes suddenly flashed with cold light, after reading it very quickly, he held it with five fingers, and the paper formed a ball that was held in the palm of his hand, and then, a few gorgeous flames drilled out from between his fingers, and when he spread out his palm, a few ashes fell gently.
Classmate Meng nodded and said in appreciation: "The Kongtong Sect's 'Five Elements Flame Palm' can be so exquisite, it is estimated that there are no five people in the entire Kongtong Sect. ”
Mu Lingdao did not have the slightest joy and pride in being praised, but his expression was very serious, and he said with a solemn expression: "Sanshao, are you sure you want to do this?"
Meng said, "Is there a problem?"
Mu Lingdao shook his head and said, "For me, naturally there is no problem, the problem is that they are your own brothers, and if your plan is put into practice, then, your entire dream family will face the danger of overturning." ”
Meng sighed: "Mengjia, he is already like a person with a tumor, if he doesn't undergo a major operation, he is really terminally ill and incurable." ”
Mu Lingdao groaned for a moment, suddenly smiled, and said, "San Shao, I didn't expect that you are more ruthless than I imagined!"
Yume-san was silent.
He drank a glass of wine, looked at Mei outside the pavilion, and a pain from the depths of his soul swept over - at this moment, he remembered the scene when he met Fu Gongwei's wife from a ruined house in ruins, the ragged clothes that could not hide the lower body parts that could not be broken and bleeding from the continuous rape, the fragility of the living dead that could not even move his waist, and it was estimated that if it were not for the child who was tied up in a dark corner but was still alive, she obviously did not have any trace of attachment to live.
Meng stood up slowly and said expressionlessly: "The rule of life in my dream is that people are cruel to me, and I am more ruthless than him." ”
Then, he slowly walked out of the pavilion.
He didn't express his final wish again, but Mu Lingdao already understood.
When the figure of classmate Meng disappeared completely, he shook his head lightly and whispered softly: "Brother, what is a brother? Could it be that sometimes, a brother is not as good as a brother of the opposite sex? Xiaofu, you can have a brother like Sanshao, so that the miscellaneous family is envious, you, it's worth it!"
