Chapter 51 Proposition: Interpretation of Dao (Part 1)
After the ugly moment, lightning and thunder roar.
A transparent heavy rain lasted for more than an hour. By dawn, the rain weakened and drizzled.
Zheng Yanqing slept very comfortably. He got up early in the morning and opened the bamboo window. A fresh wind poured into the building.
After exercising my body, I felt very excited.
At this time, Mao Ya walked upstairs with a basin of clear water and placed it in front of Yan Qing. Zheng Yanqing finished washing and ate something. Then he put on a pair of clothes and walked out of the bamboo building with a bamboo umbrella. The white dragon horse ran among the bamboo forest. The thin raindrops were like fog, and the sound of horse hooves was crisp and faintly visible. Standing on the porch, it seemed like he was in a fairyland.
Mao Wang's wife came over with the green donkey and helped Yan Qing sit down.
Zheng Shian had already gotten on the horse. After seeing Yan Qing sit down, he whispered: "Are you ready?"
Yan Qing smiled, "Grandpa, let's go."
Ding bell, Ding bell!
The bells in the green donkey's neck rang, and the grandparents and grandchildren gradually moved away in the drizzle, and only the bells seemed to echo in the garden.
Two heads, one big and one small, poked out from the window of another bamboo building.
"Brother Du, won't we go to watch the game?"
Dou Fengjie did not go home last night and lived in the Zhuyuan Monastery.
However, he was worried that he would affect Yan Qing's preparations, so Du Ruhui captured him early in his residence to rest.
Du Ruhui opened his mouth wide and yawned.
“What’s good to look at?
If Yan Qing wins, he wins; if he loses, he still wins.
From the day he sent out his battle letter, he stood in the upper hand. Today he faced the battle, but it just saw how it ended.
If you win, you will win better; if you lose, you will win worse... Instead of running to join in the fun, it is better to stay at home and wait for the news. Well, I want to sleep for a while, don't bother me again. You guy, I couldn't sleep last night."
"It's obviously your tossing and turning, what does it have to do with me?"
Dou Fengjie also yawned and his little head retracted back to the bamboo building.
Neither of them went to the General Hall to watch the battle, but the reasons were different. Dou Fengjie had a nearly superstitious worship of Yan Qing, so he firmly believed that Yan Qing could defeat Wang Tong; while Du Ruhui was not optimistic. After all, Wang Tong's strength was there, and he really didn't think that Yan Qing could defeat Wang Tong in the classics, and he couldn't bear to see Yan Qing's loss.
The drizzle was drizzling, and there were wisps of water mist floating in the field, one after another, layer by layer of silky mist.
The weather was a little chilly, and Zheng Shian subconsciously wrapped his clothes tightly.
Looking at the side, he saw Zheng Yanqing as if nothing had happened, sitting leisurely on the back of the green donkey, looking at the pastoral scenery twice.
"Yan Qing, are you sure?"
Zheng Yanqing smiled, "There is no confidence, it's just that I can't go over and meet the situation.
It’s good to win, but it’s good to lose. Anyway, I’ve already agreed to Brother Zhang San that the documents have been made, so why should grandpa panic?”
Zheng Shi'an said: "I'm not worried about the shop, I'm worried about you..."
"Me?" Zheng Yanqing said, "I won't have anything wrong. Wang Tong is fourteen years apart. He won't be glorious, and I won't lose. Besides, the teacher said before leaving that I've been in the limelight recently. It's not unhelpful to use Wang Tong's hand to suppress it. Anyway, I want to be quiet. When this matter is over, I'm going to go into the mountain with Brother Du for a while and make adjustments. Grandpa, don't worry about me, grandson will not be in serious trouble."
Zheng Shian thought about it carefully and felt that this was indeed reasonable.
That’s right, this time, after Yan Qing’s struggle, even if Wang Tong wins, he will not get any benefits.
On the contrary, Yan Qingruo really lost, it is not without benefits.
He has become too famous recently and needs a failure to cover up. Anyway, Xiongji's shop has been successfully transferred into the hands of the Zhang family, and Zheng Shi'an has entered the backstage from the front of the stage, and from then on he can be a rich man with carefreeness.
Anyway, it is good for everyone.
Of course, if Zheng Yanqing can win, it is of course the best.
But in his own heart, Yan Qing was not sure that he could surpass Wang Tong... Not to mention the gap in the past ten years, the most important thing is this foundation. Even if Yan Qing had a soul of forty years, for this era, the things he learned in his previous life were of little use. At least, he was not familiar with the Five Classics like Wang Tong.
The test was determined to be in General Hall, which is the hall name of the Dou family.
During the Han Dynasty, several generals appeared in the Dou family, so they were nicknamed General Hall, which also demonstrated the tradition of mainly martial arts.
Whether it is the third ancestor of the Dou family, Dou Yi and others, they all started their own business with their martial arts achievements.
A row of stone sculptures are displayed in front of the hall. Some are those who are standing with horses and swords, and some are those who are leaning on the ground with guns. They are all the achievements left by the ancestors of the Dou family.
When I entered the General Hall, a murderous aura came from the pavement.
There were more than a dozen people sitting in the main hall, and two desks were placed in front of the hall, with pens, ink, paper and ink.
The rain flowed down the eaves, eroding the ground under the steps into grayish white colors, revealing a solemn atmosphere.
Zheng Shi'an did not go in, but watched Zheng Yanqing walk into the gate of the General Hall.
There were many people gathered outside the door, including scholars and nobles. But more were ordinary people watching the fun.
"Zheng...Shi'an!"
Suddenly someone called Zheng Shi'an.
Zheng Shi'an Xun looked at it and saw a carriage under the steps near the gate.
There was a bamboo umbrella erected on the car, and the green satin umbrella surface was hanging down, slid the rain outside the car. Under the umbrella, Zheng Renji and Yan Shigu were sitting, waving to Zheng Shi'an. Next to the car, Xu Shiji and Zheng Hongyi stood respectfully.
Zheng Shi'an was wondering in his heart: Why did this young man greet him so proactively today?
But he didn't stop at his feet and hurried to the front of the car.
Even though he was separated from his family, Zheng Shi was still somewhat respectful to Zheng Renji after years of service to the Zheng family.
Zheng Weishan also stood beside him and smiled slightly at Zheng Shi'an.
"How is that... Yan Qing prepared?"
In terms of seniority, Zheng Renji should call Zheng Shi'an a clan uncle.
But it was really embarrassing that Zheng Renji. He almost blurted out that Butler Zheng came, and now he looked at Zheng Shi'an face to face, so he had to give up the title and ask softly.
Zheng Shian can understand Zheng Renji, and he will not expect Zheng Renji to truly recognize him as his uncle.
In fact, I'm afraid no one in Anyuantang would recognize his identity. Even Master Zheng did.
It is a great blessing to let you return to the clan!
"Young Master, I never ask about Yan Qing's affairs. You know, I can't ask about my ability."
Jung In-ki smiled awkwardly.
"By the way, how is the business on Xiong Sledgehammer? I heard that it's so hot."
"It's okay to ask the blessings of our ancestors... Dahammer has good skills and is serious in doing things. With the help of old neighbors, he finally gained a firm foothold. However, this matter has nothing to do with me."
Jung In-ki was stunned, "Why? Didn't you invest a lot of money?"
"Young Master, I'm doing business. I've just helped me and started... Besides, I'm older and my spirit can't keep up. I'm fine on weekdays, but I can't get busy. During this period, I often miscalculate the accounts... The day before yesterday, the people from the Zhang family in Wu County came over and discussed with Xiong Daehui and the others, and decided that they would pay for the management.
The young master was there that day, and the people from the Zhang family came to discuss this matter.
Now I only have half the profit, and I can get a profit of 1,800 yuan a year, and I am satisfied."
Jung In-ki was stunned!
"The Zhang family took over Xiong? How much is it?"
"In addition to returning the 1,000 guan I had previously lent to Dahammer and others, I invested another 10,000 guan to expand the storefront."
Jung In-ki is really not very clear about this business matter.
Hearing that the Zhang family made ten thousand coins of money, he could only sigh that the Zhang family was rich and extraordinary. As for the business like scissors, he didn't see it. An Yuantang had a lot of business, and the profit of tens of thousands of coins a year was really not as good as Zheng Shi'an's hundreds of coins. He just regretted it for a moment and stopped asking about this matter. However, Xu Shiji, who was standing beside him, seemed to have paid more attention to it...
