Chapter 59 Life is short and things are unpredictable

8days ago Historical fiction 8
The world is not that easy to run. It’s okay if you have a lot of money and a carriage, horse and slave in your hand. Otherwise, there will be many inconveniences in food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the basic conditions for survival are all problems. What else can you talk about?

Just as the hermit in the deep mountains is not a reason why ordinary people are.

So Zhang Ning did not prepare too many clever words to persuade him, but just prepared this clean yard with some firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.

He didn't spend much money but it was very effective. He paid attention to the expressions of the two old and young people and found a lot of things.

As an employer with money, his current relationship with Lao Xu and others is actually a two-way choice. Whether or not he can reach a cooperation is probably a test.

Zhang Ning spoke gently and slowly, and remained cautious and only said trivial matters.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that the various relationships between people actually had some common things, just like the current intention of cooperation and relationships in love. It was useless to slowly come into contact with others, fearing that they would scare away others, or the other party would not intend to confess their love.

Sure enough, Zhang Ning faintly heard the girl muttering to Lao Xu: I have nothing to do and show my diligence...

He didn't care and smiled shamelessly: Now at this time, the family has eaten. Don't you mind if I stayed for dinner before leaving?

The young master is the master, and we are the guests.Old Xu said calmly, let Wenjun cook, let us wait for a while.

It turns out that the girl's name is Wenjun, which is not bad. In addition, the feeling that Lao Xu showed gave him, Zhang Ning judged that these two people might have some background and might have been a bit unfamiliar before.

He did not express any words to praise the girl's name, and even deliberately ignored her. After all, it would be more safe to keep a distance from the girl without knowing each other, right?

So Zhang Ning asked Lao Xu to leave the woodshed and hold another lamp to sit in the main hall in the north.

I haven't asked my grand name for the young master.Old Xu said.

Zhang Ning said frankly: My surname is Zhang, the judge of Yangzhou Prefecture, and the official is added.

Old Xu looked up and down Zhang Ning, then hurriedly stood up and said: It turns out that the lord is an official, he is disrespectful.

Forget it, sit down and talk.

Zhang Ning made a support move.

Since he admitted that he was an official, Lao Xu and the others were arrested today...

Perhaps Lao Xu has guessed that the quarrel is just a test.

It was nothing that Lao Xu guessed, and Zhang Ning himself had no malicious intentions.

Since he has the intention, perhaps Lao Xu can feel more at ease. The words Wenjun muttered, "Showing attentiveness for nothing is indeed reasonable. For some reason, some people are attentive to themselves but do not know the purpose, so it would be strange if they are not careful.

Since he had revealed his identity, he could have asked Lao Xu about his origin, but Zhang Ning still felt that the heat was not enough, so he sat down and pretended to look at the dark scenery in the yard and didn't ask about this.

After a while, he asked in a polite tone that he wanted to avoid the cold situation: What are the plans for Lao Xu in the future?

Some vicissitudes suddenly appeared on Lao Xu's face. Perhaps it was because there were too many wrinkles that gave people the illusion?He said slowly: What are the plans for those who are walking around the streets and singing?Just be your home in the world.

Zhang Ning nodded and said casually: Life is short.

Old Xu couldn't help but smile: I'm so young, but I sighed at this?

When you are young or older, there are things to do at every stage of your life. If you miss it, you will inevitably be hasty and embarrassing in the future.

Zhang Ning smiled and said, "I have to start a family and start a career now, and I have to be a little enterprising in my future." Otherwise, I will be embarrassed when I reach middle age, I have no support or achieve nothing."How easy is it to make up for it if you miss the opportunity?

Adults are young and promising, wise, and can congratulate or praise them.Lao Xu nodded, but his expression became slightly worried.

Zhang Ning smiled calmly with a calm smile on his face, observing Lao Xu quietly, and said softly: I have little experience and don’t know how to be good or bad, and I will say rashly that Lao Xu is in his old age. Although he is free and easy to be a family in the world, his body is weak and unable to be self-sufficient. This is just a natural way for all things to change the rise and fall of life. There is no need to be sad but you must not ignore it.

What’s wrong with a humble old man, the nameless and unnamed weeds?Lao Xu's face was a little unhappy.

Zhang Ning died of illness in his previous life. He had never experienced the feeling of the elderly, but he saw a lot. Most people had to prepare a coffin for themselves when they saw their children get married and start a business. They could only feel relieved after they had done everything.

Zhang Ning knew that the older the person, the more stubborn he was. He would not be happy even if he had a higher status. But the reason was as Lao Xu said. Zhang Ning knew that it had come into effect: Lao Xu always acted very calmly, why did he suddenly express his sadness and joy?

He ignored Lao Xu's feelings and continued: Even if you don't plan for yourself, you have to think about your granddaughter, right?If her daughter's family has no parents and elders to take charge of her, and no identity and origin of seeing others, how can she be the whole world?If your situation has not changed and Lao Xu is gone in the future, you should think about what situation she will be in...

Old Xu suddenly stood up and said with an abnormal expression: You and I don’t owe each other, there is no need to talk about our family’s affairs!

Zhang Ning knew that he could not say anything anymore, so he stood up and said in time: That’s all, it seems that I have no blessing in benefiting this meal, so I will say goodbye first.

After saying that, he gently threw the key on the chair he was sitting on, turned around and left without saying a word.

After a while, Wenjun walked in with a cloth pad, holding a large bowl of soup and vegetables, and placed it on the table. Seeing Lao Xu sitting on the chair with a stern face without saying a word, and without looking at him directly, he couldn't help asking: What's wrong with grandpa, what about that person... the key?

Leaving.Old Xu slowly looked down and said, "He is the judge of Yangzhou. He took ten taels of silver last time to try us."

Wenjun curled his lips: How many stinky money do you think of people as monkeys!But it’s good to meet a sucker. Ten taels and that jade pendant are enough for us to have a long time.Or do you keep this money and do something?

Lao Xu said: What can I do?It is not enough to buy land, so I can only get some homes and tenants, but it is not easy to settle the property if I am not familiar with it. I am also afraid that the government will find out the details... Judge Zhang should have seen that we have some skills and want to win us over, but I can't think of any other intentions.Look at the preparations in this yard, he has put some thought into it. There is no need to do this without purpose.

There is no corvee service in the land under the names of these officials, and the grain tax is also light.

Wen Jun said softly, but he definitely did not want to win over us as tenants under his name, we don’t have any labor, and he doesn’t have to spend so much effort to find that kind of person…

Hearing that Lao Xu's mouth was twitching slightly, he said: That's right, in the world, you have to do whatever you give to treat. Zhu Hai, the gatekeeper, was valued by Xinlingjun of Wei. He offered a trick to kill the general of Wei and steal the talisman to save Zhao. Jicheng could only hope that the army would come out and apologize.Today, Judge Zhang is not considering his identity and respecting the wise and the wise are definitely not a light thing. Can we serve this bowl of rice?

Wen Jun said kindly: If not, forget it. This is because grandpa is capable. Otherwise, why didn’t the official master look down on others and just look down on you?

……

After drinking a bowl of sweet and crystal clear white fungus soup and eating some pastries, Zhang Ning bathed in hot water and rinsed in the hot water, changed into cotton clothes with close body and comfortable clothes, and sat by the desk in front of the window for a while to prepare for rest.

Soft lights and comfortable big houses, the difference between people in this world is too obvious. Perhaps fairness is as easy as morality in classics to become an excuse for reshuffle. Humans first learn to enslave animals, and then learn to enslave their kind.

However, in the face of birth and old age, everyone is indeed equal.

He sat quietly for a while and saw paper and pen on the cabinet, so he got up and brought something over. On a whim, he poured a little water from the teacup into the inkstone, dipped an unwashed pen, and wrote four words that felt like a willow bone and a slightest slightest.

After losing his interest, he threw the brush into the inkstone, took off his clothes and went to bed.

After a while, Han Wu walked in sting his hands and silently packed up the random things for him.

Zhang Ning couldn't help but feel numb when a man did such a thing in the bedroom, but this was what he said he wanted to be a male servant and he couldn't blame others.

When he woke up the next morning, Zhang Ning packed up and went to the stable to pick up the horses, and went straight to the yard in the northwest of the city.

He led the horse to the door, looked at the door of the yard and thought that it would be difficult to lock the door if someone left. Wasn't the key left inside?

He reached out and pushed it lightly, but unexpectedly pushed the door open. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw that the grandparents and grandchildren were still there.

Old Xu was sitting on a rattan chair on the steps, holding a teacup in his hand, while Miss Wenjun was standing in the middle of the yard with a wooden stick, looking back.Lao Xu stood up and bowed: Lord Zhang.

Zhang Ning nodded, closed the yard gate, and tied the reins to a tree.

After finishing these trivial matters slowly, he walked forward and asked: Are you still used to living?

Not bad, very quiet.Old Xu said.

Zhang Ning said calmly again: I have paid the rent for half a year, and it is also empty. I am used to living for a while, but I am not used to speaking and doing it.

Lord Zhang asked, sit down in the room and talk.Old Xu said.

The two entered the main hall and sat down. After a while, Wenjun came up with two cups of tea and stood at the door and refused to leave, curiously trying to listen to them.Old Xu didn't say anything, so Zhang Ning naturally let her go.

After politely speaking, he seemed to have nothing to say. Old Xu picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said slowly: I was originally a commander-in-chief in Shaanxi, but my surname is Xu, so I didn't mess with you.

Um.Zhang Ning nodded, not interrupting, just listening.

Lao Xu continued: I have an only son who is also a military officer in the garrison. Unexpectedly, I died of illness in the past year. I only left a granddaughter for me, which is Wenjun.Her biological mother failed to pass on the incense to the Xu family, and her husband remarried early.A few years ago, the Shaanxi Provincial Administration Commission sent someone to escort the money and money to Beijing. The guards ordered me to lead troops to escort them, but they encountered a loud horse halfway. The horse thieves rushed around the mountains and fields, and the officers and soldiers fought unfavorably, which damaged many brothers' money and money were stolen.The people from the governors colluded with the commander of the guards and shirked most of the crimes to me.I had to sell the property and all the valuable things in my hometown to compensate me. Even so, there was still more than 2,000 taels, and there was no way out.A brothel in Xi'an took the opportunity to buy Wenjun for 100 taels. I was furious and injured several people and took Wenjun to flee to the world. It has been several years in a blink of an eye...

Things in the world are impermanent.Zhang Ning sighed, thinking that if he was not careful to become an official, he might even lose his job.
