Chapter 40 The Little White Rabbit and the Old Fox
Chapter 40 Little White Rabbit and Old Fox
Without the woman, the good official and the big head ate voraciously. After eating, the servants of the Yan family came in and carefully cleaned up the leftovers and did not dare to speak much. However, they might have to chew the root of their gossip in private.
After dinner, the good official rested for a while and was about to write a little more. Datou laid paper for the master, grinding it thick ink. Seeing the master biting the pen and thinking hard, he quietly left the cabin and turned into the cabin where Mr. Zheng and Shan Chixia lived.
His father Dan Chixia sat in the cabin and meditated and breathed. Speaking of which, this is probably the difference between the Eastern martial arts system and the Western martial arts system. For example, Spain, the most powerful country in the West, is extremely powerful under the rule of Philip II and his wife Bloody Mary. There are countless swordsmen. Spanish swordsmen are honing their physical training skills, especially good at stabbing swords with both hands. They usually use mercenaries as their professions and kill countless people in various wars of Spain conquering the colonies. However, European swordsmen basically quickly declined when they were old, either died of old age or died at the hands of young swordsmen.
The Eastern martial arts system pays more attention to spiritual training. Even the top masters of the Eastern world, like Shan Chixia, do not deliberately temper their bodies, but focus on breathing. Oriental swordsmen can basically maintain their peak state or slowly decline until they die. This is also the source of the skill of two Jiazi in later martial arts novels. The older they are, the more powerful their killing skills are, and then they will be derived from a philosophical system of transformation from heaven and man. Martial arts will turn strangely here, from killing to living people, and instead pursue metaphysics, either from Buddhism, Taoism, or fellow practitioners of the three religions of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, completely deviating towards religion.
Even if there are five hundred years, breathing is a standard for judging whether a fighting technique is ancient. Those with breathing must be ancient and circulating, while those without breathing are modern sports competitions.
Mr. Zheng also learned breathing skills from Shan Chixia. In fact, Mr. Zheng has been able to survive over the years because of practicing breathing skills.
Shan Chixia opened her eyes slightly, looked at her son, and said, "What, is there something wrong?"
"Master, Dad." Datou told Miss Yan's story. Zheng Liancheng, who was lying on the couch, turned his body sideways, hesitated, and said to Shan Chixia: "Chixia, what do you think?"
"I also think the Yan family looks like a big family. If it really makes sense, the young master will inevitably be angry from there in the future. However... the young master is about to be fourteen after the New Year, so let the young master make his own decisions! I think the young master's ideas are very positive." Shan Chixia said slowly.
Dad Zheng coughed twice, sighed, and said to Datou: "Good boy! Don't contradict the other lady Yan's family in the future, no matter what..." Datou nodded hard without waiting for him to finish speaking, "Master, I understand."
A smile appeared on his pale face, and Dad Zheng said, "Bigou, I know you are a smart child. Of course, I hope that the good official can find a gentle and gentle girl with a good match. However, depending on the situation, the good official still has to wait for another two years."
"The young master is now in a rushing sky. I can't say that he will be a Juren at the age of 16 or 17, and will be a Jinshi in his early twenties. At that time, even the daughter of the old master, our Zheng family is qualified to ask. Let's pretend that we don't know about this Yan family!" Shan Chixia knew that the Yan family probably had this idea, a merchant! Seeing that there were good things to buy at a low price, it was normal. However, in two years, the young master would not look down on the young master.
When Mr. Zheng heard this, he felt that this was justified. Since the good official entered school, he became more and more arrogant. Speaking of which, Mr. Zheng had a certain responsibility for painting a fan. He bought the person back and treated him as a child bride, but suddenly became a concubine. His wife and concubine, which was equivalent to a phoenix and a hen. The gap was big, and it would be strange if he could balance it.
Shan Chixia always felt that the young lady and the young master of the Zheng family were all the same kind that they would not fly, but they would have soared to the sky. Although the young master was only thirteen years old, he had already confirmed the title of a famous scholar. Now he went south to Jiangnan and slowly wrote some poems and songs. He raised his hope in Jiangnan where the literary style is rich and literati gathered. In a few years, he would be a juren, and in a few years, he would be a Jinshi. At that time, whether he would enter the Hanlin Academy or a foreign official, the Zheng family would be considered an official family. Miss Yan family, although beautiful, they are older to the young master, and look at her appearance, they don’t seem to be too easy to talk to. The Zheng family’s three generations of the Zheng family will pass on their own. If a wife who is not allowed to take a concubine comes in...
When Shan Chixia thought of this, she shook her head slightly. He was always sophisticated and used to traveling around the world. She was confident that she was still somewhat accurate in looking at people. The young lady of the Yan family looked at it a few times from a distance. Although she was beautiful, her eyebrows were straight on her temples and she must have a arrogant temper.
Such a young lady is okay to be a concubine, but she is a wife, it’s a pity...
However, Shan Chixia also found it a bit ridiculous to let the Yan family be a concubine. Seeing that the Yan family is also rich, how could she be willing to be a concubine for her daughter?
Moreover, like Datou, Shan Chixia subconsciously felt a disgusted with those who were older than the good official because of the fan painting.
The Zheng family was discussing and pretending not to know. The news that the Zheng family's young master seemed to be quarreling with his lady over there was soon reached the old butler Yan Gan's ears. The old butler frowned and called He Maxiang, the boss of the ship, to come over, and ordered the people below not to discuss it, otherwise the family law would be used, and then the matter would be reported to the master.
When the skin heard this, she patted her forehead desperately with her palm, trying to go to her daughter's cabin to ask clearly. Knowing that her daughter was thin-skinned, she might not be angry and even her father was turned away. After thinking about it, he tiptoed to the door of her daughter's cabin and knocked her gently twice. After a while, Xiaoqian opened the cabin door and saw his master standing sneakily at the door with his neck shrinking.
"Xiaoqian, come on, don't disturb the lady, come with me." The color pulled the little maid into his cabin, and then he found that the little maid's eyes were swollen, "Is this... you cried with Qingwei?"
Xiaoqian's face turned slightly red, she shook her head slightly, and said in a low voice: "After the lady comes back, I'm not allowed to serve the young master of the Zheng family anymore. I..." She said, her eyes turned red and Yingran was about to cry.
Oh! Hey! This daughter! She slapped her forehead with her palm and walked a few steps back and forth, asking Xiaoqian to explain the whole story clearly. Xiaoqian said it from beginning to end. Boat Master Yan carefully analyzed it and felt that it was blamed for him. He was too impatient. The younger Mr. Zheng was only thirteen years old, so he might not understand that his daughter is more arrogant than the top. If he waited for another two years, Mr. Qingteng, the teacher who was famous in Zhejiang, would not be able to take out the airs that were higher than the top.
As the head of the Yan family, it is also a worldly wise man. The truth between men and women is very clear. It is absolutely not advisable to have a case in line. Either the east wind overwhelms the west wind or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. Even if you are engaged in a business with others, you will still have a major shareholder and a small shareholder!
But there is the biggest conflict here. When Zheng Xiaogong is famous, he is chasing Mr. Qingteng Xu Wenchang. How old is his daughter? Although the Yan family is the leading ocean businessman in Ningbo, it does not mean that other businessmen are not as good as him. The Yan family is famous because they have been scholars for generations. If others also like Zheng Xiaogong, he may not have any advantages.
He really wanted to explain to his daughter: silly daughter, there is a good timely help, and finding a man and doing business is the same.
But he also knew that if he really told his daughter about these words, he would definitely be kicked out by his daughter.
Alas! He sighed to the sky. After all, he read too much, which ruined his mind. It was indeed like what others said, "A dementia-written woman."
Being someone’s father is really difficult! It’s much more difficult than doing business.
Boat Master Yan shook his head and sighed. Seeing Xiaoqian standing in front of him with red eyes, he suddenly had an idea and came up with a wonderful idea.
"Xiaoqian!" He coughed twice, and said to the little maid in a serious tone: "When did you start serving the lady, do you still remember?"
Xiaoqian blinked her big eyes and said, "I remember, when Xiaoqian was six years old, her father went to sick. Once, I hid in a corner of the garden and cried. The lady saw me pitiful, so she asked me to serve me in the room and had been following the lady since then."
"How good do you to you on weekdays?"
Xiaoqian nodded vigorously.
"Then, if I give you to the Zheng family's young master, you will..." The color pulled his beard and thought about it in his mind, using a relatively calm statement, "What would you do?"
Xiaoqian was stunned and gave me to the young master of the Zheng family?
Boat owner Yan looked at the little maid like a cunning fox. Xiaoqian had read books, but she had not become an obscene literary woman like Miss Yan. She had seen some worldly stories. She had even seen Mr. Qingteng Xu Wenchang, the world's leading famous scholar. In addition, her young mind was flexible and flexible. After thinking about it, she immediately understood that for a moment, she felt a sense of excitement in her heart.
However, the little maid was not stupid either. She jumped up with a happy look on her face and made the master think?
So, she said quietly: "Master, do you think Xiaoqian has not served the lady well?"
The color was a little disappointed, oh, I didn't answer the point! However, being able to answer like this is considered loyal, so I said to Yue: "Master, I mean, I'm giving you to the Master of the Zheng family. If you are there, will you think of the lady?"
Xiaoqian nodded vigorously, and her snailed double green bun shaking up and down, and she felt cute and cute. "Xiaoqian has never separated from the lady since she was six years old. Master, don't give me to others, okay, I will serve the lady well for the rest of my life."
What about this! It is a typical family tone. The owner of the ship Yan is also an old fox. Unfortunately, he doesn't understand. The so-called lover forgets his parents, let alone he is just a master. Sometimes, the little white rabbit can also play with the old fox.
The old fox smiled and touched his beard, "Xiaoqian! You can also use other methods to never separate from the lady."
