Chapter 54: Scoundrel
Being carefree is a state of life that most people cannot learn.
When many people work, they feel stressed, which triggers negative emotions. But once they have nothing to do, they feel even more boring, as if they have lost the meaning of life.
Of course this is a person who is short of money.
However, Shen Sanwen was obviously not like this.
There was once a question asking what would you do if you were rich enough and no longer had the pressure of life.
Many people may answer that they want to travel, want to learn something they are interested in, want to do charity, etc.
But most people don't choose to take action immediately.
Because they are not rich enough.
Human desires are endless, and I believe Boss Ma and Handsome Wang are the same, thinking that they are not rich enough.
But life is about taking action and creating at the same time. Doing whatever you think of is even more important.
Of course, these are not important. What is important is that the princess is really rich, so Shen Sanwen also lost everything.
He lost his worries.
It is many times better for an optimistic person to achieve financial freedom than for a pessimistic person to achieve financial freedom.
For example, a high-ranking official would be worried that his descendants would have no money, so he would start embezzling. If he was worried that their descendants would have no power, he would place them in the court early.
This is how the aristocratic family lives, living better than most people, and worrying more than most people.
Shen Sanwen will also worry about his princess.
But you can’t always use what will happen in the future to torture yourself in the present.
Cherish every moment now.
It's far more important than worrying about the future.
Visiting the lake is one of the princess's favorite hobbies.
There are always two days a week when the princess likes to face a quiet lake and enjoy the breeze by the lake.
This has become a habit.
Shen Sanwen was glad that the princess had such a habit.
This is a good habit.
If you stay at your desk for a long time or spend a long time with others, you will slowly lose your innocence.
The hypocritical masks, fluctuating emotions, and complicated trivial matters between people all accumulate into the straw that falls on the camel's back.
If you know how to release and relax, you will be able to enjoy yourself better, otherwise sooner or later it will erupt like a volcano.
Shen Sanwen also had such a habit in his previous life. He went hiking every month and walked around the lake in front of the office building after eating every day.
This time I came back from a trip to the lake and met a man who sold his body to bury his father.
An ordinary-looking woman knelt miserably on the side of the road, sobbing.
Businessmen traveling around may encounter such scams.
But there is no such bold liar at the feet of the emperor.
So, this must be a poor woman.
However, because of her average appearance, the rich people did not lend a helping hand.
There were only a few people watching.
A coffin, two workers and half a day's work, brought back an ordinary skinny woman, and many people were wondering whether the deal was a good deal or not.
There may be some losses.
This man obviously can't work.
It was said that it had been an hour, so the woman did not have the strength to cry.
Shen Sanwen heard about this, but it was impossible for him to care about it.
The Princess Mansion is not a charity. If you are a useful person and prove your worth, you can use your own ability to exchange for the necessary property. If not, such a good person cannot do it. Once you have an example of helping poor people , there will be countless poor people coming to you in the future, and they may even think, since you can help this person, why don’t you help me? I am very pitiful too. Is it because you don’t have a heart of compassion if you don’t help me? , last time it was just a show, and then it completely ruined your kindness.
What's more important is that in the future, people with real talent and knowledge will not come here casually for help. The more talented a person is, the more they value their reputation and the less willing they are to owe others favors. Who knows whether you are going to beg or sell.
Talent. As for favors, money is easy to repay, but favors are hard to repay. Today I owe the favor to the princess's house, and I will say a good word and do a good deed for the princess' house in the future.
Favors are a burden.
For talents, it is a stumbling block. If you are not careful, you will get the reputation of being ungrateful and be labeled as "Every man who is righteous will slaughter a dog, but a man who is unkind will be a scholar."
Even if some pretentious people come for help, it's better to get help from people who know nothing and are useless.
What's more, in the open society of Datang, many pitiful things can be changed by oneself.
The pity caused by one's own lack of effort does not deserve sympathy.
However, someone stood up. It was a refugee who came out. When he walked in, he put his hands on the woman's chin and said, "Young lady, I haven't married yet. If you come with me, I will help you bring your father to justice."
Buried. We will get married tonight."
Someone nearby was already scolding him as "the ultimate scoundrel".
Fortunately, this person doesn't care about these words.
This woman obviously wanted a good coffin so that her father could be buried in peace. She immediately broke away from his hand and said, "If Lang Jun can bury my father properly, Rou'er will serve you like a cow or a horse."
At this time, someone who knew this person spoke and said, "My dear, Junchen is a vagrant here. A good coffin costs a lot of money, but he can't afford it. Don't be fooled."
So Shen Sanwen didn't leave. He quietly stopped the carriage beside him, opened the carriage curtain, and watched.
This person is Lai Junchen.
Should I befriend him or get rid of him as soon as possible.
He was an important person during Empress Wu's reign.
It can be said that he was a very important person in consolidating Wu Zetian's rule.
If you really touch him, someone more cruel will appear?
The princess was sitting next to her. She knew that Shen Sanwen would not stop because of this woman.
"Consort, what's so special about that refugee?"
Shen Sanwen nodded and whispered, "This person will definitely be able to hold a high position in the future. He will be able to make decisions with a single word, control the power of life and death, and cause a lot of killings. However, I can't touch him. I want to befriend him, but it's not convenient."
"
The main reason was that he didn't dare to change his luck. If he suddenly became rich and famous, he might not have snitched. If he didn't snitch, he wouldn't have been beaten up by a fat man later, and then as a blessing in disguise, he would be chosen by Wu Zetian and become more powerful.
"Now I am also a relative of the emperor. If I suddenly make friends with a local gangster, it will easily arouse suspicion. Moreover, if I have a friendship with him and have the background of the Princess Palace, he will not work hard to climb up without the pressure of survival.
, will definitely hinder his wealth. This will change the life trajectory of many people. On the other hand, if I make good friends with him, I will have to meet many of his requirements. I will raise my benefactors and my enemies. In the future, I refuse
The more and more times he requests, I'm afraid it will become a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh."
"The consort is right, how do you plan to handle this matter?"
