Chapter 23 Mind

There is a long pavilion outside Suzhou Prefecture, which is a must-pass place to leave the prefecture. Merchants and wealthy tourists will temporarily stay and reorganize their cars and horses, and literati and poets will also bid farewell to their friends here. There are many legends left here. There are always good sentences that have been heard in a year or two. People with good things are nicknamed the Farewell Pavilion, but more are still called the Qili Pavilion.

The Zhang family's carriages and horses did not attract much attention when they appeared. Hawkers shouted loudly on both sides of the official road, and there were three or five friends telling the tragedy of parting under the willow trees. People came and went, and even if there were more than a dozen or twenty people, it was common.

"Old lady, we're here at Qiliting. Let's stay and rest for the time being?"

The anxious departure from Xiafei Mountain was that everyone was exhausted. At the moment when Suzhou Prefecture was far away, it lost its initial energy. It was not too late to get to this little time, so Zhang Ren walked to the carriage and asked.

"Just do as Ren'er wants."

After receiving the old lady's approval, Zhang Ren immediately ordered: "Zhang Li, go home first to report the message; Zhang Quan, you bring someone but get some tea, and the others will follow me!"

This Qili Pavilion is not big. When you look around, you will see that the good place has been occupied by others. The Zhang family is not a domineering person and cannot do such a domineering thing as driving people away. After a moment of pause, they took people to walk towards one place.

Not far away, someone recognized the Zhang family and said to the left and right: "It's Zhang Ren, you should be staying for a while. Strange, where is he going?"

"Sixth brother knows this Zhang Ren?" The friend next to him asked with a smile: "I see a few carriages in his family, and there are maids in the team. I guess the ones who are sitting in the carriage should be the female family in the mansion, but the place we are looking for is not very good. If the sixth brother is familiar with him, please come and sit together, so as not to recognize him and be hurt by the harmony."

My friend was very kind, but he was not a local person and didn't know much about the situation in Suzhou Prefecture. The man called Liu Geer shook his head and said, "Silang, you are kind-hearted, but unfortunately I recognize this Zhang Ren, he may not know me!" Seeing that his friend was puzzled, he stretched his head and said softly, "He is the Zhang family, the butler of the Zhang family!"

Silang was stunned, and then suddenly realized that the Zhang family in Suzhou Prefecture was too famous, and Zhang Bancheng's name was even more famous. Even he had heard of it. After a little surprised, he said unconvinced: "Sixth brother, why should you look down on yourself? You are just a butler, you..."

"Be careful!" The sixth brother stopped him in a hurry, and then he smiled bitterly, "Silang, Brother Wei was almost cheated by you!"

"Why did Brother Six act like this?" Silang was puzzled, and knew that Brother Six was not a targetless person. Perhaps there was a hidden secret here. Thinking of this, he felt that he was too lazy and almost implicated his friends without any concealment.

Through this episode, the two of them suddenly lost the interest in talking, picked up the teacup and drank silently. The previous sorrow of parting was accidentally eliminated.

Zhang Ren and Wang's mother helped the old lady down from the frame. The servant had already spread the linoleum mat and quilt. The old lady didn't feel uncomfortable sitting on it. There was a maid next to her carrying melons, fruits, tea, but she bought it from a vendor not long ago. She washed it and put it in a wooden plate, and placed it in front of her one by one.

"Where is Yao'er? Why haven't you come here yet?" After waiting for a while, the old lady felt strange and asked Zhang Ren next to her. Zhang Ren had no idea why, so he hurriedly walked towards the carriage where Zhang Yao was. Later, he looked helpless: "Old lady, the young master is asleep. The young lady said that the sunlight outside was too strong, so she would not come down!"

"Sleep? How can this great day of slimness be used to sleep? Wake up people!"

This person's thoughts were really strange. If it were in the past, the old lady felt sorry for her grandson and turned a blind eye when she saw it. But now it is different. Zhang Yao's old illness has been eliminated and her mind has changed her life. She immediately turned her mind around. She thought that this business would be handed over to the grandson after all, and she would be the master of the future Zhang Mansion. In addition, she had been wasted more than ten years before, so she could no longer spoil her in the future. She had to urge her to do so. She would not want him to shine the family in the future, but she could not become the playboy and unscrupulous child.

Zhang Yao, who is in his dream, doesn’t know that the old lady has made plans for him in the future. It is said that she hopes that her son will become a dragon and a daughter will become a phoenix. She is pitiful to her parents all over the world!

Since the old lady spoke and no one else could do this job, Zhang Ren had to take the initiative with a bitter face. He didn't know how much he had slaughtered and said so many good things. In short, Zhang Yao took his wife out of the carriage, even though he yawned Liantian and looked reluctant.

He picked up the apple on the plate and took a bite. Zhang Yao asked while eating, "Huh? Where is Xiao Liu? Why didn't he see others?"

People with a little family background all pay attention to one who does not eat or sleep. Looking at the unruly appearance of their grandson, the old lady sighed in her heart, regretting that she valued change of fate over the years. She was always worried that she might fail in the end, but instead relaxed her discipline on Zhang Yao. She thought before that she needed to hurry up. After she went back, she immediately asked several gentlemen of Xixi to teach him how to read and study. In addition, this granddaughter-in-law. Although she is a lady from a wealthy family, she may not be good at controlling her husband, and she needs more guidance in the future.

"Young Master, Master Xiaoliu failed to get rid of the sorrow in his heart, and hid in the car and refused to come out to see people."

Hearing Zhang Ren say this, Zhang Yao paused and sighed, "How come this very living person is gone if he says nothing?"

That day, Zhang Yao changed his life successfully, and the old lady was overjoyed, but his grandson failed to wake up on the spot, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried. Later, the attitude of Xia Fei changed drastically. He drove the person out of the Taoist temple early the next morning. The old lady was extremely puzzled and had to hide the doubts in her heart and order the housekeeper to pack up and set off for a trip.

Before he could walk far down the mountain, Master Xiaoliu suddenly came after him and said that the real person had a letter to hand it to the old lady. After opening the envelope, the letter was blank. He didn't know what happened. He thought that real person Xia Fei had put the wrong letter paper, but he didn't want to turn around and go back to the mountain. When the earth was moving, the smoke and dust covered the sky. Xia Fei Mountain collapsed!

Ordinary people may never see such a scene in their lifetime. First, the earth dragon turns over, and then the landslide collapses. Any of them is enough to scare people to death. Now two things happen at the same time. Someone looked like gray and mud on the spot, but then he no longer breathed.

Thinking of the scene at that time, the old lady still felt her hair standing upside down. If she hadn't gone down the mountain as soon as possible that day, she might have been smashed into meat paste by the rocks. She was very grateful to Xia Fei, but there was still something that could not be understood. The gods at Xia Fei's viewing should have calculated the disaster, but why were they unwilling to hide?

This question was never understood. That night, she was lying on the bed and tossing and turning. Somehow she suddenly remembered the past when she was a child. Her mother believed that her brother was heartbroken after she was lost. She vaguely remembered that her mother had taken her to the Taoist temple to ask for an old Taoist. After a few times, the other party was still unwilling to speak. The old Taoist disciple couldn't bear it and secretly told her that it was a disaster. Her mother also sought to break the disaster, but the other party sighed and said:

[I will be punished by God against the will of heaven. I hope the lay Buddhists will take care of themselves!]

The past decades ago suddenly appeared in my mind. The old lady woke up in an instant, feeling that the words in the dream lingered in her ears for a long time. She was shocked, but she didn't dare to think about it anymore. She secretly decided to completely forget the secret.

Speaking of this, we must mention the Huangliang Dream Technique that Master Yan Shen raised. The collapse of Xiafei Mountains is true, but the turn of the earth dragon is false. All living beings within a radius of hundreds of miles were fascinated by magic and had an illusion. After all, they were afraid that there were too many casualties and too much cause and effect. Even if Xiafei and the other two had some support, they would not dare to do whatever they wanted.

"Butler Ren, someone is looking for you there, saying he is an old acquaintance."

Zhang Ren turned his head and looked at him, feeling that the person who came was a little kind-hearted and could not name his name for a while. Seeing this, the old lady guessed what was going on and said, "If Ren'er has something to do, go and do it first. This Qili Pavilion is only a few miles away from our house, so you don't have to accompany us anymore."

Hearing the old lady's words, Zhang Ren nodded and said, "He really can't remember who the person was, but he should know him. Maybe he only had a few meetings. In the past, he just greeted him and greeted him a few words, but now the other party made a special visit. If he refused to see him, he would look down on others."

He picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The old lady put it down again and shook her head in her heart. The tea leaves and tea cups are all from her own home, but the hot water is not. The taste of brewing is wrong. Others may not be able to detect it. She was influenced by Mr. Zhang for the rest of her life and drank fragrant tea for decades. She felt that she would not make any mistakes.

"Yao'er, your illness has been cured, and you can't do anything as idle as before!"

Zhang Yao was stunned. He didn't expect the old lady to say this suddenly. He wanted to continue to be idle, but now it seems that he was probably a bit wishful thinking.

"Grandma means..."

"In life, there are always many problems that you don't understand. If you want to understand, you have to study!" The old lady said slowly: "Reading is not for promotion and wealth, nor for you to be able to be very knowledgeable. It is for people to understand the truth and distinguish right from wrong, and to understand the grudges of great righteousness. This is the real purpose of reading. The ancients have always said: There is a golden house in books, and there is also a beautiful woman in books..."

"Grandma wants me to study, right?" Before the old lady finished speaking, Zhang Yao nodded and said casually: "No problem, I just don't know which teacher is?"

"Well..."

"Have you not thought about it yet?"

The grandson's reaction was too strange. The old lady was a little confused, but she didn't know how to answer. Zhang Yao laughed in his heart. There would be a demon when something abnormal happened. The old lady was sure of hesitation. She just didn't turn a corner for a while. When she understood, she would immediately use her elder status to suppress others.

"Yao'er can't wait?" Sure enough, the old lady smiled later, "I heard that Mr. Qi from the North City of the Prefecture is knowledgeable and upright, and is a rare noble person. Why don't you ask him to be this Mr. Xixi?"

The retribution in this life came so quickly. Zhang Yao had just finished his cleverness, and then the old lady was attacked by the army. What does it mean to be noble and upright? To be nice, this person is stubborn and rigid, and not nice, it is the stone in the pit, which is smelly and hard. Of course, in terms of character, it is absolutely nothing to say, a true moral model.
