Chapter 117: Calm the nerves
(Southern Dynasty VIP book friends group Nantianmen: 2007 0 2009 is being recruited for a hot recruitment. Please join the genuine readers. Once you enter the Nantianmen, the storm will turn into a god!)
December is in great cold and there is snow.
The snowflakes are not big, and some are floating down, falling on the eaves, and then melting, turning into cold snow water. When they flow down, they condense in half a time, becoming ice edges, crystal clear, hanging under the eaves, reflecting light.
Guanchen Academy has suspended classes and holidays, and the students return home to prepare for the New Year.
Huang Chaozhi hasn't returned yet. He doesn't want to go back, or is afraid of going back.
Over the past period of time, Huang Chaozhi's life has been extremely uncomfortable: he gave Ye Junsheng the news, and only exchanged for a piece of text, spread it from somewhere, and became a laughing stock for a while.
Some people say that he had done everything he could to please Ye Junsheng, but he could not help but do too much and there was a possibility of being beaten up...
Some people also say that Huang Chaozhi was smart all his life, but he was deceived by Ye Junsheng and didn't know if he was sold...
Different.
The pressure from external public opinion is quite serious. Not only did he, but he also caused his father to lose face. The entire Huang family was ridiculed and seriously affected.
From outside to inside, several uncles and uncles at home have privately discussed, saying that they are worried about handing over the family business to Huang Chaozhi and want to strip him of his inheritance rights. The reason is very sufficient. Huang Chaozhi's dissipation is too much. If he asks him to take over, he will be afraid that he will spend money in the future and lose everything...
If you use 55 stakes of money to make a favor that doesn’t seem clever, no matter how you calculate it, you will lose a lot.
The Huang family is not a prominent family, but there will be differences and contradictions within any family, and the competition for interests is inevitable. Once an opportunity arises, some people will never give up on the opportunity.
In recent days, I have been quarreling at home several times.
As Huang Chaozhi, who is in the center of the vortex, he feels upset and irritable, so he doesn't want to go back and be criticized and ridiculed. It's better to stay in Jizhou and enjoy peace and quiet.
However, such thoughts are destined to not last long, and Nian will definitely go home. Besides, my father has sent two letters from home to urge him to go back soon.
Alas, every family has a difficult sutra to recite...
Upstairs, Huang Chaozhi drank a glass of wine, then settled downstairs, and walked to Nandu Lane to see if Ye Junsheng had returned from studying abroad.
Drinking the fast alone is as deserted as ever, with the ten characters on the walls still intact, obviously never sold them; and Ye Junmei, wearing a small cotton jacket, was making a robe in the store - this dress. You can tell that it was made for Ye Junsheng at the right time.
Ye Junmei is skillful and beautiful in needlework. This is famous throughout Pengcheng County. With these hands, he has supported himself and his brother in the hard years.
It should have been a day that was unbearable to look back on. But when I think about it from time to time, there is a unique warmth in my heart.
Except for Ye Junmei, Jiang Jing'er is also there. Miss Jiang has made up her mind that she would not want to go back to Pengcheng before Ye Junsheng came back - because she had promised to take good care of Ye Junmei for Ye Junsheng, and the maid Age, who was responsible for washing and cooking, etc.
This made Ye Junmei, who has always been accustomed to it, and rushed to do many things. In the end, she laughed and laughed. Three girls of the same age got along very well and became good sisters.
Seeing Huang Chaozhi come in and seeing his expression a little depressed, Ye Junmei asked, "Brother Huang, what's wrong with you?"
Huang Chaozhi smiled and said, "It's not much. I'm going to go back to Daoan Mansion tomorrow. Come and see if Junsheng has returned home."
When talking about his brother, Ye Junmei's gentle face was a little sad, and he couldn't hide his worries: "Brother hasn't come back yet, it's almost the New Year..."
Huang Chaozhi hurriedly comforted: "Your wisdom will definitely be fine. You probably will be back soon, so you don't have to worry."
Ye Junmei nodded and said softly "Oh".
After saying a few more common words, Huang Chaozhi said goodbye and did not dare to leave food, so he was to avoid suspicion. You should know that there is no male in Duzhu Zhai, and Huang Chaozhi is a family member.
Huang Chaozhi got married at the age of 20 and gave birth to a child the following year. Later, he passed the exam for a scholar and took another concubine to his family, which was very happy.
After leaving Duzhu Zhai, he returned to his residence to pack his luggage, and then took a carriage out of the city early the next morning, and rushed back to Daoan Mansion.
The snow has been a little heavier today and the clouds are covered with red clouds. I am afraid it will snow heavily in the next few days, and the climate is a bit harsh.
Of course, if you are a man who cooks wine around the stove and enjoys the snow, what you see is beautiful scenery.
Sitting in the car, Huang Chaozhi was thinking about the situation he had to face after returning home: he would not regret giving Ye Junsheng a house. Even if we put aside our friendship and look at it longer, Huang Chaozhi City firmly believed that Ye Junsheng was not a thing in the pool, and there would definitely be a chance to soar into the sky.
As the saying goes, adding icing on the cake, how can you help me in time?
If Ye Junsheng is on the list of the gold medal and then he will have a favor, the meaning will be completely different. At that time, would there be fewer wealthy gentry who want to please Ye Junsheng? Not to mention fifty-five stakes, even a house with a hundred and a thousand stakes will be given away.
It is not just a saying. No matter how high a scholar you have to be ranked first, you only need to be ranked first Jinshi. When the rankings are released, many wealthy people will come to rob their son-in-law and give them hundreds of thousands of dowry. This is a practice.
These things may sound a bit utilitarian, but they are a living reality. The old saying goes, "A gentleman's friendship is as light as water", but you also need to be careful of it, and "the flowers float and the water flows by itself."
I drove all the way and returned home in the afternoon. But before I could enter the door, I heard a noise of quarrel. When I stepped into the door, I saw my uncles arguing with my father.
"Second brother, this is not a matter of money, but Chao'er's approach is wrong. Anyway, I'm not at ease to hand over the business to him."
"That's right, our Huang family is not as good as others. It's like dirt and cannot withstand the tossing."
"In my opinion, is Chao'er a bad study? Ye Junsheng is not a disciple of the imperial examination, and even if he passes the imperial examination, he doesn't have to give such a big favor. Such a big deal, others think that the money of our Huang family is like losing money, and it's going to be rolling around."
Another sarcastic tone.
In fact, those fifty-five stakes did not take the money from the family, but Huang Chaozhi's own savings. These uncles and uncles just wanted to find a flaw and get angry by taking advantage of the situation.
"Hey, Chao'er is back."
Everyone found him.
Huang Chaozhi sorted out his emotions and respectfully bowed to all the elders.
"Chaoer, you are coming back just in time, so let's explain your thoughts to you uncles."
Huang's father seemed a little haggard. He had been in charge of the Huang family for many years and had always wanted to cultivate his son's successor. Finally, Huang Chao was fighting for the exam and got the title of scholar, and his momentum was greatly boosted. Unexpectedly, he actually made a fool of himself, and his uncles caught the handle and came to "force the palace".
In Tianhua Dynasty, it is very common to do favors, but they all have certain regulations. For example, occasionally, they will help some poor scholars, and give each other some gifts among their classmates. But where can anyone give a valuable mansion like Huang Chaozhi?
It is obviously beyond the bottom line that everyone can accept.
You should know that now, Ye Junsheng is just a scholar. Those who cannot do the real thing are not necessarily related to fame and fortune.
Being stared at the body with pairs of eyes, Huang Chaozhi said calmly: "First of all, what the child wants to say is that this money is his own savings; secondly, I always believe that one day, the value of that piece of calligraphy will be far more than fifty-five strings."
His voice was very calm, and I thought that he had been preparing for this sentence for a long time; the implication was that he would not say that the letter could be sold for fifty-five stakes, but rather that the return on friendship that Ye Jun could get after he was born in high school in the future would be far more than this price.
Unexpectedly, this sentence immediately attracted a lot of condemnation:
"Chao'er, you're so light. Originally, our Huang family was going to buy labor in Jizhou, but you can buy labor directly and then give it to someone."
"Yes, even if it's your own money, it's also an impact. How do you think of our Huang family?"
"Hmph, four words can sell for fifty-five silos. Do you really think that Ye Junsheng is the saint of calligraphy?"
In the Tianhua Dynasty, there are people who are respected as "Sage of Calligraphy". A word of money is worth a thousand yuan. They are really the top figure in this industry. It is said that in the time of day, hundreds of people are waiting around the Sage of Calligraphy Mansion to see if there is any garbage and waste paper thrown out, and pick up one and a half pieces. If there is the original work of Sage of Calligraphy on it, then I will post it.
So crazy!
Of course, now taking the Book Saint as an example, is it about Ye Junsheng as a singular onion?
"Then let the time prove it. The child feels tired and go back to the backyard first."
Huang Chaozhi suddenly felt very tired. No matter how he argued, there would be no result. He could only look forward to the future. Besides, the next provincial examination is only two years away, and he will be able to distinguish it at that time.
If Ye Junsheng could go high school and make great progress, then his Huang Chaozhi's gaze would not be questioned any more, and it is now a false saying that it is a flower.
Huang Chaozhi sighed and asked his wife to take out the words from under the cabinet. After getting this words, they were basically in the box, but they were unwilling to hang them out, which was just a joke.
"Auspicious housekeeping!"
The four big characters are written in a dragon and a snake. It can be said that there are almost no flaws in the brushwork. What is lacking may be some unique personal style and reputation. But don’t forget that Ye Junsheng is only in his early twenties this year, and time is on his side. As long as he does not destroy his future in the future, he will definitely have the opportunity to become a famous master.
Looking at the four big characters, from the top to the bottom, my eyes were placed on the strange seal on the side, and the extremely exquisite small seal text: "You are born outside the world, and there is no spiritual existence or not."
Huang Chaozhi is very familiar with this sentence. Isn’t it just a pair at the door of Duzhu Zhai? It is directly used as a seal text by Ye Junsheng, and the text format is appropriate.
As he looked at it, his originally irritable mentality gradually calmed down, as if looking at this calligraphy, he could make many unpleasant things disappear without a trace.
Can this word calm the mind?
What a good word!
However, now Ye Junsheng is out on study tour, where did he travel? {Piaotian Wenxue Thanks to all book friends for their support, your support is our greatest motivation}
