Chapter 91 His pride, I have it too
Chapter 91: I have his pride too
"Boss, when did I say that Cheng'er will do something about being insincere and forgetting about love?" In fact, when Tang Shuan just brought her teacup to drink water, Tang Zhang couldn't help but pursed his lips and wanted to laugh, but after hearing the last sentence Tang Shuan said, his face darkened again and he couldn't help it. "Tell me, since I was fifteen years old, I went into your Tang family. I didn't have the same reception as the relative in the Tang family came. A few years ago, when the family was in good condition, I should have sent as little as I could? Even when Cheng'er was sick, they would rather eat black bud noodles by themselves and greet them with the best white noodles saved. Oh, why did I forget about love and forgetting about love?"
"Look at you... I'm talking to Cheng'er, why did I pull it on you?" Tang Shuan said, and his rough big hand, like a rake, had habitually touched his head.
"You said Cheng'er, you said so much just now, it was clearly because Cheng'er was talking about me. Do you think I can't hear your turn?", Tang Shuan was talking just now, but now Tang Zhang kept talking, "Everyone said that his son followed his mother and Cheng was born. I don't know what he is like? I have never done anything that is too high and low. Can Cheng'er do something that is so unfaithful?"
In this case, Tang Shuan stopped talking as usual. He sat on a stool and scratched his head, allowing Tang Zhang to say that. Judging from his more than 20 years of experience, Tang Zhang would just whisper a few more words.
"Mom, dad doesn't mean that, don't say it," Tang Cheng persuaded him, and filled the water with a tea cup in his hand, then handed it over with a tea cup, "Come on, mom, drink water."
The teacup blocked Tang Zhang's mouth. Unfortunately, as soon as she finished speaking, Lancao pushed the door and walked in, saying that the meal was ready.
Fortunately, Lan Yatou didn't see it. Otherwise, this would be a joke. Thinking of this, Tang Zhang, who was holding a teacup, couldn't help but glar at Tang Shuan again.
Although Tang Cheng was talking casually with the Tang and Zhang couple during the meal, what he kept thinking about was the conversation they had just now.
Tang Shuan said so much before, but she couldn't help but forget about his feelings. What does this mean? The couple of Tang and Zhang took affection very seriously in their hearts, and they believed that Zhang County Magistrate and Lin Xue were kind to them.
When I thought of this, Zhao Laohu's words before coming back suddenly emerged. If the couple of Tang and Zhang, who were a villager, said all about feelings and used this as the foundation for establishing one's life, then Zhao Laohu, who was a county magistrate, said that the way to live is based on real utilitarianism, and pursues one's own protection and the maximization of interests on this basis.
Who is they right and who is wrong? Think about it again, these two statements are actually correct. Feelings and utilitarianism are always the most intense dilemma in conflict. From the nature of nature, they are naturally willing to choose feelings. But what happens when the result of this choice is related to too many things?
Specifically for Tang Cheng, the question is: If Erlong Village cannot be wiped out by September and it will lead to the defeat of County Magistrate Zhang, what will he do if he really reaches this point? How will he choose?
Was Gu Quan's feelings resigning from the errand of the county magistrate Zhang as a errand in the county magistrate? Or was he silently staying with Zhao Laohu's face and his face? This seems to be a false question, but if you look at it carefully, it actually involves the conflict between feelings and interests. After all, not only is Zhang County Magistrate Zhang's trusted him, but even the people in the yamen know that he is Zhang County Magistrate Zhang's confidant.
"Cheng'er, don't eat that dish all the time." As Tang Zhang spoke, he changed the vegetable in front of Tang Cheng with a plate of steamed white fish. "Since you're tired today, you should make up for it."
"Well, you guys eat too, my father and mother." Tang Zhang's question woke Tang Cheng up from his distracted son. After picking up a piece of fish and eating it silently, Tang Cheng suddenly smiled slightly and said, "Dad, mother, if one day I will lose my job in the yamen, what do you think?"
"Bah! Cheng'er, why are you saying such despicable words?" Tang Zhang's chopsticks stopped in the air, "What? What happened in the yamen?"
"No, just ask casually." Tang Cheng reached out and pressed Tang Zhang's hand, which was stretched out in the air, "I'm really fine!".
"It's fine." Tang Zhang picked up a piece of fish, and she took the chopsticks. Almost a quarter of the fish had only a skeleton left. After pressing this large piece of fish into Tang Cheng's bowl, Tang Zhang said: "If you can do it, do it well. After all, this job is not easy; but if you really want to lose it, come home. If you have something to eat with me and your father, you won't be hungry."
Nodded, Tang Cheng didn't say anything else, but just picked up a chopstick and pressed it into Tang Zhang's bowl.
For such a family, Tang Cheng was willing to rush forward no matter how tired or hard he was. He was behind such a family, no matter how many thorns and bumps there were on the road ahead, he was fearless!
The Zhang family of Tang did not leave, and Tang Cheng could not work hard on the book at night. After finishing writing the 200-word, he continued to work on the moonlight picture of the osmanthus picture two days ago. By the time he went to bed at night, he finally finished it.
When Tang Cheng woke up the next morning, he was about to put on his clothes and suddenly remembered that today was a holiday. Every ten days after the Tang Dynasty government offices went to the yamen, there was a day off. The same was true for the government schools to follow the yamen style.
Thinking of this, Tang Cheng fell down suddenly when he just sat up. It was really not easy to take the holiday back.
After resting on the couch for more than half an hour, Tang Cheng got up. Lan Cao'er remembered clearly better than him. He knew that he was on holiday today, and even though he got up late, he didn't come in and called him to get up.
It was comfortable to fall asleep while sleeping. When Tang Cheng finally got up from the bed, the lively sunlight outside had already shone through the gaps in the windows on the ground in the house. Although the light and shadow were mottled, it was exciting to see.
It is said that the more you sleep, the more lazy you become. This is true. Today, Tang Cheng slept more than usual, but his body became more lazy, but his energy was full.
"It's rare to have a day off, so I won't sleep for a while." Lan Caoer walked in with the washing water and smiled and said, "The weather is so good today. I heard that the pear blossoms in Tianfu Temple are blooming beautifully."
"Are you dull in the house?" Lancao just put down the copper basin in his hand, and Tang Cheng pulled him closer to his arms, "Then let's go to Tianfu Temple to see the pear blossoms today, and it's just a walk with my parents."
"Well... don't move... they are all outside..." Lancao knocked down Tang Cheng's hand that was doing evil, turned around and came out of his arms, "I can't go to Tianfu Temple now, and my aunt said she wanted to go back. All the things were packed."
"I'm going back today?" After hearing Lancao say this, Tang Cheng lost the intention of continuing to tease. He bent over and washed up and arrived at the yard. At this time, he saw Mrs. Tang coming out of the small kitchen in the second yard. "Mom, the weather is good today. Let's go to Tianfu Temple to see the pear blossoms."
"What's so good about the flowers and plants?" Tang Zhang wiped his hands with his waist, "I'm going to call you. Since I'm getting up, hurry up and have a meal. My mother has made you a dough fish and made it pick it up with long chopsticks. Keep it to your taste."
Tang Cheng followed Tang Zhang to the kitchen and said, "Looking at the pear blossoms is just a reason. In this way, there are many people in the temple, so we can hurry up and take advantage of the bustling atmosphere."
"How many days have you been out? What has the work on the slope been delayed? Your father is restless at night. Can you have the intention to go to the temple?" Tang Zhang was useless to the small bowl prepared by Li Yingwan. Yesterday, when he went out with Lancao, he bought a few large black and scrambled pottery bowls commonly used in the house. At this time, he handed them to Tang Cheng with a bowl of noodle fish, "Hurry up, it's not because my mother praises her. The food and food in the Gao family in the front yard are good, but if you want to say this half-faced fish is the most authentic one made by my mother."
"That's! My mother's tea and rice skills are praised by the whole village." The Tang Zhang family is indeed good at cooking. After more than a year, Tang Cheng couldn't eat enough. He smiled and thought about the first meeting with Li Yingwan last year. At that time, it was because the Tang family's tea and rice were good. Li Yingwan wanted to invite her to be a stovetop woman. "No matter how good the Gao family skills are, they can't make you taste like you, but I can't eat it now. I'm so tired every day when I go to the yamen. If I can't eat well..."
"You, it's useless to say it. I have to leave today. This is your father's decision." Tang Cheng said this and Tang Zhang's face shone brightly, but he didn't let go at all. "You don't know your father's stubborn temper? Eat while it's hot."
Tang Shuandi's temperament is also known. Once he decides something, he will not say anything. He will not argue with you or argue with you. But he will do whatever he thinks, and it will be useless to let others persuade you and argue again.
Seeing that he could not keep it anymore, Tang Cheng didn't say anything more and brought a large bowl of stone pottery to the yard.
Tang Cheng had a good breakfast, just like when he was in his village home. He didn't want a bench or sat on a table. He held a big pottery bowl and squatted in the corridor outside the kitchen with Tang Shuan. The father and son casually talked about the crops in the slope, while dripping the dough in the bowl, which made the sound of the fish drank in the bowl.
If there are outsiders, the way of eating in this way is indeed not elegant, but when the door is closed, they are all their own family members. Eating like this is really a relaxed and casual pleasure.
Even if Tang Cheng was eating quickly, he couldn't catch up with Tang Shuan. After decades of practicing, he ate quickly and cleanly. Even if he had food with soup, the whole bowl would definitely be clean and clean when he finished eating, and no waste of noodle soup.
After finishing eating, Tang Shuan looked up at the sun. His rough hand scratched his hair and slapped his knees and stood up. "The sun is halfway through the sky, it's his mother. We should leave. If we hurry up, we might be able to cook half acre of land after we go back."
Seeing Tang Shuan's heartfelt look, Tang Cheng wanted to keep them and didn't open his mouth at all. After sucking the fish in the bowl and drinking the fish in the bowl, he went to the room to help Tang Zhang take the things.
"Dad, you can take the Li family's wedding letter first. After I go home this time, I will show him when I see Liu Lizhengshi." Tang Cheng stuffed the wedding letter that Tang Zhang had already handed him into Tang Shuan's hand, and said with a smile: "After all, he is the top figure in the village and is sitting in the seat of the inner court. If my marriage is really done in the village, I can't avoid him no matter how hard you go. Dad, tell him this after you go back."
"Well, this is the truth, okay, I'll write it down." Tang Shuan took the wedding letter and put it into his waist carefully. He didn't say a single extra word, turned around and got into the carriage. Tang Zhang asked his son to take care of his health and went up together.
Watching the carriage go far away. Tang Que turned around and returned. When he left this time, no one of the three said that Tang Shuan was about to leave for the Master to go to Jinzhou to perform labor service. The couple of Tang Zhang did not say that they did not want their son to be upset about this matter, and even made up something in the yamen. However, Tang Cheng did not say that he knew that Tang Shuan would not have to go there any longer.
The reason why he specifically told Liu Lizheng that he had gotten married, and even brought his marriage letter back together was this. The villagers may not know who Li Yingwan's strong relative was in the county government, but as a minister, Liu San could not know.
With Zhao Laohu's good way to protect his children and methods, he saw his niece, a widow, living alone in the countryside with hundreds of acres of land, how could he not say hello to Liu Lizheng, a local snake?
The change in Liu Lizheng's attitude towards the Tang family mainly originated from Tang Que and Zhang County Magistrate, and like most people, he thought that Zhang County Magistrate would definitely not be able to defeat Yao Zhuan, so he made such a move to clear his mind. But what if he knew that Tang Shuan's future daughter-in-law was actually Zhao Laohudi's niece?
The name Liu Sanneng is not called for nothing!
Lancao, who came out to see Tang Zhang's couple out to see Tang Cheng laugh strangely, asked in surprise: "What are you laughing at?"
"I laughed at my mother for holding your hand when she left? Could it be that in my mother's eyes, my son is not as rare as you?" This sentence only made Lancao's red face happy. Seeing this, Tang Cheng couldn't help pinching her nose. "It's a pity that the weather is so good that it's stuffy at home. Let's go to Tianfu Temple too."
This was what Lancao thought about when she woke up in the morning. After hearing what Tang Cheng said, there was nothing else to be unhappy. Not only did a flower smile on her face, but her steps were much faster.
Tang Cheng's purpose in going to Tianfu Temple was naturally not simply visiting the temple. It was a rare day off. He happened to take his newly completed pink book to the old monk Chengning to listen to the class.
Tang Cheng packed the powder and waited for a while before the orchid came out, wearing her favorite goose yellow 30% folded goose yellow skirt. The bright goose yellow skirt in the sun only made her look more and more beautiful.
The Wanfu Temple was indeed very lively, especially the pear garden behind the temple. After Tang Cheng accompanied Lancao to the entire pear garden, he then took the powder book to the abbot of the old monk Chengning.
The outside was full of lively, but the abbot was as quiet as ever. When Tang Cheng walked in, the old monk Chengning was pointing in Liu Suifeng's pink book to tell them one by one.
Seeing Tang Cheng coming in, the old monk Chengning raised his eyes and looked at him and continued to speak. Seeing this, Tang Cheng made a lighter step and listened.
"The painting of a tree is like a person, with upright standing, side support, looking, lying prone, big branches are like arms, tops are like heads, and roots are like feet. A little unreasonable is like a person's incompleteness." Perhaps because Tang Cheng stood on the side, Liu Suifeng, who specifically sided his body and blocked Tang Qu's eyes, was not so focused. However, the explanation of the old monk Chengning was just over, "For example, your trunk is too straight, and it is too straight, and it is too straight; but this tree is too curved, and it is too curved and it is vulgar. You must not paint too much, too much is too much! Can you remember it?"
"Disciple has written it down." After the old monk Chengning took away the fingers of his penis, Liu Suifeng immediately rolled up his penis.
According to the experience of the previous few times, Liu Suifeng said goodbye every time Chengning finished explaining to him and never stayed for a long time, but today he was very strange. Although he collected the powder book, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he took two steps back and stood still.
Seeing Chengning's porous eyes look over, Tang Cheng had no intention of putting on Liu Suifeng, and took two steps forward to spread the powder book in front of the old monk.
As Tang Cheng's pink book unfolded, Liu Suifeng stood on the same side quietly stepped forward two steps. After seeing the content of the pink book clearly, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
The abbot was extremely quiet. Although Liu Suifeng's breathing sound was light, Tang Cheng could still hear it clearly. When Chengning pointed to his pink version and said, "The use of the double hook method was too awkward", Tang Cheng even saw the smile on the corner of Liu Suifeng's mouth.
Liu Suifeng, the mind of fighting for victory is too serious! The emphasis on writing poetry, painting, and even playing the piano is on peace of mind. According to his strong and arrogant personality, he can certainly promote progress in the early stage, but if he reaches the later stage of practicing various skills, he will inevitably suffer from this loss and cause mental disorder, which will affect his final achievements.
Tang Cheng was also a little distracted because of Liu Suifeng's actions. The faint and clear mountain spring eyes of the old monk Chengning attracted him and focused on his analysis and lecture.
Tang Cheng had many miscellaneous things, and he was indeed not as good as Liu Suifeng when it comes to the foundation and entry, so the old monk Chengning explained more in detail, more and took longer.
When the lecture on fans was finally completed, Tang Chengcai noticed that Liu Suifeng had left at some point. Then Chengning asked about Tang Cheng's feelings and experiences in practicing calligraphy. After assigning the lesson, he waved his hand to signal that he could leave.
After coming out of the abbot, Tang Cheng went to the Heavenly King Hall, where Lancao was waiting. The two of them visited all the halls in the front temple. When they felt hungry, they walked towards the mountain gate.
"Hey, why is he still here?" As soon as he walked out of the mountain gate, Tang Cheng saw Liu Suifeng.
Against the backdrop of the handsome and rich and powerful horses beside him, Liu Suifeng, dressed in white clothes as snow, was really like jade, and the horse was like a dragon, which was eye-catching and eye-catching. Even though the people entering and exiting the mountain gate were bustling, he must be the first thing he noticed when he walked out of the mountain gate.
When Tang Cheng saw Liu Suifeng, Liu Suifeng, who had been paying attention to the mountain gate, also saw him and walked over with his horse reins in his hands.
Today, Tang Cheng brought Lancao to Wanfu Temple. The men I met along the way while walking around the temple in front and back were better. The younger ones could hardly help but turn their heads to look at Lancao. However, Liu Suifeng seemed to have not realized the beauty of Lancao at all, and his eyes almost stopped for a moment. When he arrived in front of Tang Cheng, he spoke straight: "How long do you spend every day practicing painting?"
"You wait for me to ask this?" Seeing him nodding, Tang Chengzhen was speechless. Calculate the time. Liu Suifeng had to wait at least one hour, and he waited for so long just to ask such an inexplicable question, "It takes half an hour, even the time he thought about it."
Tang Cheng is telling the truth. He has to do too many things now. It is rare to have half an hour every day, that is, one hour in the future.
"Okay, I won't learn painting anymore within one month. After one month, I only spend half an hour a day. Brother Tang, don't forget the one-year appointment that day!" After saying this, Liu Suifeng did not stop and led the horse and turned around and walked into the bustling crowd.
"Who is he? So arrogant!" Even though many people on the flat field in front of the mountain gate could not hide Liu Suifeng, wearing white clothes. Lancao looked at his back and said, "Acheng, what did you make an appointment with him?"
It was not until after listening to Liu Suifeng's words that Tang Cheng knew that the reason why he had been waiting for so long to ask such a question was that the reason was that it was in Chengning's abbot just now.
Liu Suifeng clearly saw the difference between the two, and probably knew his busyness, so he asked this question and the following sentence.
Waiting for a month means giving up the previous time and waiting for Tang Cheng's painting skills to tie up. The two of them are standing on the same starting line again. As for what they said later, it only took half an hour a day, and the meaning is even more clear. He actually doesn't want to take advantage of Tang Cheng at all.
"He is proud!" Tang Cheng's eyes also fell on Liu Suifeng's back, watching him walk out of the flat field and turn over and disappear into the distance, "but he does have something to be proud of."
"What are you making an appointment?"
Tang Chengbian walked forward and explained casually: "We will study painting with the elder Chengning of the Temple, and we will compare the painting skills in about a year later."
"Acheng, you are so busy..."
Chapter completed!
