The next morning, at Mao o'clock, Tieli's harvesting truck appeared exactly where it was yesterday.
And Yan He did not break the promise. He drove an old ox to pull a broken cart, carrying all the four bags of grain left at home, and was the first to meet Pailion.
Others who came to sell grain and see doctors also came here one after another. While everyone was lining up, they pointed at Yan He, who was dressed a little differently today, and started talking about it:
"It's true that 'a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle'. Wearing this shirt makes you look so much better!"
"Alas! I don't know if the canal is a 'flat valley', with only its skin and an empty belly!"
"Just say it!"
"If I were wearing this shirt, I would be more beautiful than him!"
"Go! Are you just a bad person? Hahahaha..."
…
Everyone joked and gave advice, some were envious, some were pretentious, some were jealous, and some looked down upon...
Seeing all these things in the world, Piao Lion secretly observed and saw that Yan He was sitting alone in an empty oxcart, closing his eyes and concentrating, turning a deaf ear to the nonsense that came out from time to time to ridicule his reputation. Look at his " The wind does not blow, the trees do not shake, and the heart is like still water." He is indeed not a common person.
An expert is an expert. After searching for several years, Piaoliang finally found the most suitable candidate for the Imperial Preceptor. After Zang Boyu asked him to serve as the Imperial Preceptor of the Wei Kingdom, Ji Yuan, who was extremely naughty, finally got the orthodox "Zhou Feng" "educate.
The condition for him to listen quietly is that Mi Zixia must accompany him to study.
This was certainly not an excessive request, so there was one more student under Yan He's door.
Pailion also got his reward: Ji Yuan, who understood true "filial piety", came to the door in person, took back his biological mother Jingyao, raised her, and lived the noble life that should have belonged to her ever since.
Ji Yuan grew up day by day. As his knowledge increased and Wei Jun's noble status increased, his temper became more and more irritable. For many things, as long as he saw it correctly, he still encountered opposition from others. , they will often use crude and simple methods to solve problems, regardless of public opinion.
Over time, everyone gradually discovered: In fact, this Ji Yuanweijun, apart from his bad temper, still has some abilities. He also gained confidence in the future of Weiguo.
And whenever he was arrogant and restless, the only person who could quickly comfort him was Mi Zixia who accompanied him to study. Mi Zixia, who is also outstanding in all aspects of knowledge, wisdom, and martial arts, is not only the most caring companion in his life; he is also an outstanding counselor that many people lack in the planning of state governance. When there are wars at home and abroad, , and he could wear armor and take orders at any time. Although Ji Yuan wanted to give him a higher position, he was only willing to accept the title of "general" and said: A real man should be proud of fighting on the battlefield and stand tall in the court. It is shameful to speak with tongue.
At that time, Weiguo was in a very delicate position among the powerful powers: everyone was stronger than it, but no one could do anything against it.
But Wang Dan, who had given Ji Yuan the gift of his flesh and blood, did not take advantage of him at all. If Tailion hadn't sent them all kinds of exquisite products from Weiguo from time to time, he would have almost forgotten that Weiguo's current prosperity is due to his part that cannot be known to others and cannot be seen in the light of day. of "credit".
Since from the beginning, there was no hope that this "biological son" would one day recognize him as his "biological father" - this was of course something that would never happen; Wang Dan focused on his younger son Wang Dan. Chang and his grandson Wang Xiang; as for Yang Zhen, he and Yang Liu'er have completely let go of it, comforting themselves by saying: Just pretend they never had this son.
However, people are so strange. What if they don't do well? They are ashamed to see the countryside; but once they become rich and famous, what they want to see most is the countryside. To make those who have always looked down on you feel ashamed, regretful, and "too high to reach", that will be heart-breaking!
That's what Yang Zhen is.
After becoming the "General Zhao" of the Tan Kingdom, as his military exploits expanded and his status improved, he became respected and prosperous, but gradually he was no longer satisfied with being just a prestige in a small Tan Kingdom.
If he didn't let the Song people, the Wei people, the Lu people... those "little people" who scolded him, all regret it; then he would not be the leader Yang Zhen who dared to give Huayuan to the Zheng people.
Looking at Yan'er and the two grown-up children, he came up with the idea of "provincing relatives".
I think about it every day and dream about it at night.
That night, Yang Zhen dreamed of the woods of Zheng State. Either he took the wrong mountain road on his way to collect Qiu Fu, or the single tree appeared again on the tree where he spent the night, and threw him a handful of soybeans. , circling around him and mumbling:
"Hey, you are so useless! I thought you would always be so arrogant! After all, you are still a 'little guy'. Do you think Tan country is so big? Is it great to be a general? I don't want to believe it. Are you still the same company? Hua Yuan's right master dared to give Zheng Ren's sheep? Oh! By the way, Zheng Ren knew that the 'leftover' who drove the horse had drowned! Haha! You think life is good now, right? No? Haha... You are really worthless! Go and see the Jin State, go and see the Chu State, you are just a general of the Tan State, not even as good as a township chief!... Come on, eat something, Give yourself some toughness! If you continue like this, what will happen to my gambling? You can't die in such a small place! Go out and have a look! Get out!"
"Shut up! I'm living a good life. I don't need you to teach me how to do my job! Come on! Come on!"
This annoying bastard not only did not leave, but came to his side again. He exposed his huge eyes and stared at his chest. He reached into his front shirt and took out a Yang Zhen to see if it was turned upside down. The map was waved in the air, and a beam of light popped up, illuminating the map and pointing it out to him:
"Look here, do you see that the country of Tan you think is no bigger than a soybean? Look at the countries of Song, Jin, and Chu next to it...how many soybeans can be placed there?"
Dumu not only said that, but also took out a soybean, broke it in half, and marked the position of "Tan Kingdom"; he sprinkled a handful more and spread it all over the Song Kingdom; then he rolled up the picture and rolled the soybeans into it. , thrust it back into Yang Zhen’s arms, and said with a smile:
"Yo! You're angry! That's right to be angry! Come on, be louder! Eat more, you'll understand!"
"Let's go! Let's go! Get away, you Podou!"
…
"Husband! Husband!"
Yang Zhen was woken up by Tan'er and was sweating profusely.
"Having a nightmare?"
"Yes!... Well... I'm thinking that since the children are old, I should take him to meet his grandpa and grandma."
