Chapter 124: The so-called way of being an official
String String smiled and said: "I recognize you, you are Chang Shaoqing."
Chang Shan came back to his senses and quickly raised his hands and said: "Chang Shan has seen the princess."
Stringer stepped forward, shook his head and said, "Chang Shaoqing doesn't have to be like this. I'm already a person in the underworld, and I'm no longer a princess long ago."
Chang Shan was stunned for a moment.
Suddenly he reacted!
Yes!
As early as a few years ago, this string music master had been sentenced to death.
What we see now is...
Chang Shan was shocked and looked at Mr. Chen.
He should have thought long ago that Mr. Chen would definitely not be such a simple alchemist.
But he has never fully seen how capable his husband is, so he must be a man among gods and immortals.
Chang Shan immediately invited his husband and princess into the mansion.
After sitting down, he ordered his servants to serve some candied fruits.
Changshan could now clearly see the string music, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. After all, he had never thought that there really were dead souls in this world.
Several people were sitting in the courtyard talking.
The maids and servants in the house all felt a little strange.
"It's really weird."
"There are obviously only two people at the table, why does it feel like there are three..."
"Yes, I saw the master talking to the empty stool just now."
"Don't stay here anymore, let's go quickly."
The servants couldn't help but have some guesses in their minds, but they didn't dare to say it out loud, just thinking it was to scare themselves.
"By the way, who is the person sitting with the master?"
"The master called him husband. Maybe he was the gentleman who taught him how to read before?"
"Probably so."
This gentleman did not want any servants to take care of him at first. The servants in the house were afraid that this gentleman would be difficult to get along with.
But after getting along with him, I found that this gentleman was particularly kind and easy-going. He was not as dignified as the old man.
Moreover, this gentleman was good-looking, and sometimes the maids in the house would be shy and blush when they saw him, and would run away in a hurry without even saying a few words.
Sometimes when Stringer saw this scene, she couldn't help but smile and say to her husband: "Mr. Chen seems to be very popular with the little girl."
Chen Changsheng smiled helplessly when he heard this and said, "Chen didn't do anything."
String String looked at the gentleman and said, "It's just that the gentleman himself doesn't understand."
Chen Changsheng sighed, maybe he really didn't understand.
The next afternoon.
Chen Changsheng went out again. He had an appointment to go to the teahouse yesterday, but he couldn't miss it.
String string did not go with him, but stayed at the house.
She thought that when she had free time, she could go outside and see more of the scenery outside the palace, because she wasn't sure how much longer she could see it.
When Chen Changsheng arrived at the teahouse, he looked up and saw Liu Huaizhang sitting in the same seat as yesterday. Perhaps he had been waiting here early.
"Sit down quickly."
Liu Huaizhang invited Chen Changsheng to sit down, and then the waiter in the teahouse served tea.
After Chen Changsheng sat down, he said, "When did you come?"
"A certain house has just arrived."
Liu Huaizhang smiled and said: "Little brother, drink tea."
Chen Changsheng said thank you, drank a cup of tea, and then continued on about Journey to the West just like yesterday.
Liu Huaizhang listened to Chen Changsheng's story, and couldn't help but make some comments when he talked about good and bad things.
Through the stories in Journey to the West, many problems that exist in today's world will be raised.
Without exception, they are all related to the court, family and country.
Whether he was listening to stories or drinking tea, Liu Huaizhang's heart was always about his home country and never stopped for a moment.
Chen Changsheng took a look at the patches on Liu Huaizhang's clothes and said, "The old man should have a high official position, otherwise he wouldn't know so many things. Why would he..."
Liu Huaizhang lowered his head and glanced at his patched clothes, and said, "I'm not afraid of the little brothers' jokes. I just think that these clothes can be worn in any way, but it doesn't matter if there are too many patches."
Chen Changsheng smiled and said: "I have money to drink tea, but why don't I have money to change my clothes?"
Liu Huaizhang smiled and said: "The tea money is a favor from the shopkeeper. Otherwise, I would not be willing to come here to drink tea."
"It's actually like this..."
Chen Changsheng couldn't help but shake his head and said: "But as an official, he should also have a salary."
Liu Huaizhang said with a helpless smile: "All the deductions are done."
"Did you commit a crime?"
"I contradicted the emperor every time, once, twice and three times. I am afraid my salary will be withheld until the day I am buried."
Chen Changsheng couldn't help but smile when he heard this and asked, "I'm lucky that the old man didn't be beheaded."
Liu Huaizhang shook his head and said: "Under that court, I never said I missed anything. Right is right and wrong is wrong. I am not like them, who confuse right and wrong."
Chen Changsheng asked: "Why don't you try to work around it?"
Liu Huaizhang smiled and said: "The court needs an official who dares to speak out. Although many times I stand on the opposite side of the officials, this is the way of being an official in a certain family."
"The way to be an official?"
"good."
Liu Huaizhang nodded and said: "In this court, there must be someone who does not follow the crowd. Such a person will be despised and disgusted by others, and will be secretly hindered and even be killed.
.”
Chen Changsheng looked at him and said, "It's probably not an exaggeration to say it's a way to die, right?"
After hearing this, Liu Huaizhang nodded and said, "That's the way to die."
He had long understood the path he had chosen.
In this court, there are all kinds of people, loyal ministers, sycophants, and those who follow the crowd. In such a court, there should be a green pine tree standing in it.
And he, Liu Huaizhang, is that green pine tree.
Chen Changsheng took a sip of tea and said, "The old man has already made up his mind."
Liu Huaizhang raised his tea cup and said with a smile: "Drink tea."
Chen Changsheng raised his glass as a gesture, and then drank the tea in one gulp, as if drinking alcohol.
He couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart.
The way to be an official.
These four words were also interpreted in his heart.
…
At dusk, the teahouse gradually dispersed.
Before Liu Huaizhang left, he agreed to come to the teahouse the day after tomorrow, but said that he had something to do tomorrow and would not be able to come.
Chen Changsheng agreed and agreed to meet again the next day.
After leaving the teahouse, they walked towards two roads.
Chen Changsheng looked back and took a sip of wine.
"What a good way to be an official."
Chen Changsheng laughed, then drank the Qiu Yueniang and returned to Chang Mansion.
Arrive at Changfu.
Seeing that his husband returned home in high spirits, String String asked, "Did you encounter something happy, sir?"
Chen Changsheng smiled and said: "I heard someone explain four words."
String String was a little puzzled and asked: "Four words?"
Chen Changsheng did not explain, but walked into the courtyard while drinking wine.
String String blinked, and after reacting, she chased after her husband and asked.
"Sir, what four words are they?"
But in the end, the husband didn't say anything and just went to drink.
