Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2603 The choice depends on yourself

Just when Fei Qian gave some "tests" to the Buddhist scriptures, in Chang'an, some people also ushered in their "tests".

Wang Ying.

Taiyuan Wang's daughter.

A child who was originally a "countryside" child may have reached an ordinary age, marry an ordinary family, and then live such a life, no one will remember her, no one knows what she is like, suddenly one day , because of her grandfather's death, she won the title of Han Dynasty!
The baroness of the Han Dynasty was not the only Wang Ying, but she was indeed the first since the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Western Han, after all, there were no "rules" when the old Liu family first started.

Later, there were rules, and no titles were given to women.

Fei Qian didn't give Wang Ying any high status, but just gave her a chance to get in touch with the officialdom in Zhiyin Prison.

Just like the baroness, it is actually an opportunity.

If you grasp it, you can go further, but if you don't grasp it, it's like holding a piece of gold in a busy city.

"See you, big sister. 』

A young man stood under the hall and saluted Wang Ying.

Looking at the young man, Wang Ying suddenly felt that she was in a bad mood for some reason.

She stared at this handsome young man with broad shoulders and a broad body, she was silent for a while, and said, "I've heard about you, it was Seventh Uncle who found you...You, you call..."

"Returning to the elder sister's words, the younger brother's name is Huai, and the character is Rongzhi." ’ Wang Huai smiled, showing his white teeth.

Wang Ying nodded, "Sit down." 』

"Thank you, sister. 』Wang Huai stepped forward and sat down.

No matter in words or demeanor, Wang Huai fully displayed the demeanor of a man of aristocratic family, neither appearing restrained nor too casual, as if everything around him was under control, which made Wang Ying I feel more and more uncomfortable.

When the emperor's edict came down before, some people said that the Wang family is not the last, and there are still men!
The so-called "male boy" is the Wang Huai in front of him.

Wang Ying remembers very clearly that those uncles stared round at that time, as if they were going to swallow her alive, thinking that she had snatched away the title that belonged to the Wang family, and it was she who prevented the "male" of the Wang family from inheriting it. To the glory of Wang Yun...

Wang Ying looked at Wang Huai in front of her, "I don't know why you came to Chang'an this time?" 』

Wang Huai grinned, showing his white teeth, "It's nothing serious, I just came to see my elder sister. 』

Wang Ying nodded silently.At the beginning, she thought that people were all human beings, that what she said was human, and what she did was human, because she had nothing at that time.Most of the people around the proletarians must be proletarians, so she has nothing to make people think about.After all, she was still young at that time, and it was not yet time to even talk about marriage.

But later, she discovered that people are not completely human. Some people speak human words but have ghosts in their hearts.Just like when Wang Huai said he was here to visit, Wang Ying felt that he was lying.She heard that her uncle had publicly stated more than once that she was not worthy of the current title.

So who should match?
Naturally, only those who are "qualified" are worthy of it.

For example, the Wang Huai in front of him.

It is said that it is Wang Yun's "pure" blood...

And it's still born with twists and turns, anyway, it's right to have a story, it's completely like a replica of "Chong'er" in the Spring and Autumn Period.Living abroad, weather-beaten, experienced the hardships of the people, understands the ways of the world, is in good health, and has a good appearance. It is almost all over the body, there is no place where the elite is not written, and no place does not show the glory of the gentry.

If such a person cannot inherit the Wang family title, who will inherit it?

But Wang Ying knew that his father had never found any orchids, let alone such a posthumous child wandering outside.

But the problem is that she doesn't count.

Well, even if it’s not the Han Dynasty, in later generations with various technical means, if you want to prove whether your father is a father, whether your mother is a mother, whether your grandparents are grandparents, it’s up to official and semi-official institutions, down to ordinary It is a major headache for private business owners and HR, and a problem in the world.

So even if Wang Ying knew in her heart that this Wang Huai might not have been "found" somewhere, what's the use?

If it wasn't for the fact that the angels came earlier, so that those guys had no time to prepare, the Wang Huai in front of him would have changed his name to Wang Ying, and then Wang Ying would have become Wang Ying, or Wang Ying, or something else. .

Anyway, how do I prove that I am myself, how can I prove that my parents are my parents? From ancient times to modern times, it has been staged every year. It seems that it is not uncommon to have an extra Wang Ying. This question is like A loophole that can never be filled, or a black hole that can never be regulated.

People have social attributes, and this social attribute is endowed by society.
So when people's blood relationship becomes socialized, or needs social approval, these seemingly funny things are actually not so funny, and a little sad.

In the hall, the two were not familiar with each other, let alone friendship. When there was no topic to talk about, the atmosphere would inevitably become a little depressed.

At this moment, Wang Huai suddenly smiled and said, "Eldest sister has been in Chang'an for a long time, do you miss your hometown?"When are you planning to visit your hometown? 』

Wang Ying shook her head subconsciously, and then seemed to realize that something was wrong with her, so she quickly added: "I don't have any free time recently, and the affairs are a bit complicated. When I have free time, it's not too late to go back..." Wang Ying Ying suddenly discovered that the somewhat troublesome affairs of Zhi Yin's supervisor seemed to become wonderful at this moment.

Wang Huai nodded, as if he believed Wang Ying's excuse, and immediately said with a smile: "In this case, the elder sister has time to arrange... oh, yes..." Wang Huai cong He took out a stack of booklets from his sleeve and asked the maid at the side to pass them to Wang Ying.

"This... what is it? ’Wang Ying asked with some doubts.

Wang Huai said with a smile: "These are the elders in the family who have selected some of the beauties for the eldest sister. They are all honest and responsible people with good conduct... Well, my younger brother has disturbed the eldest sister for a long time, so I will leave for the time being... Eldest sister stays, younger brother bids farewell...』

Wang Huai left.

Although Wang Huai said that there is no need to send it, Wang Ying still stood up and sent it to the gate of the courtyard. Fang came back and sat down again, picked up the "booklet" and looked through it.

"Zhang, eighteen years old, fair-faced, tall, without any hidden illness, gentle and good-natured, with some proficiency in writing and ink, willing to marry..."

"Ms. Chang, nineteen years old, has a good face, no hidden diseases, easy-going temperament, willing to marry..."

"..."

Wang Ying watched, her eyes widened involuntarily, and then her face turned red, and she threw the booklet away as if she was holding a piece of red-hot charcoal, then her breath became short of breath, her hands and feet trembled...

...(╯=╰)...

In the early morning, just after dawn, the Buddhist scriptures slowly woke up.

The pilgrim sat up, then stared blankly at the dim light outside the window, as if he hadn't fully woken up yet.

After a while, he stood up, walked to the door, and stretched out his hand to slowly push the wooden door of the house open.The faint morning light came in through the narrow crack of the door and shone into his eyes, causing him to squint his eyes. Suddenly he woke up, looked at the morning light, and stood at the door like a fool, unable to move. .

The courtyard in front of you has red tiles and blue walls.

And then that long road to learn Buddhist scriptures, those mountain roads that are constantly trekking and climbing day and night, those hardships and sufferings along the way, that wilderness where black and white, red and green blend together, is like a strange dreamland Same, flickering in his mind...

"I... arrived at the big man..."

"I... have arrived in Chang'an! 』

"Big man, Chang'an! 』

He stared blankly at the morning light through the crack of the door, and only then did he realize what he had experienced and what he had accomplished. It just happened.

Thinking of the scene yesterday in the Hushi General's Mansion, and the painful journey in the wilderness and snow-capped mountains, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, yes, there are still tests...

Yes, the test.

The General of Hussars is right, but what should we do with this "test"?
Although the pilgrim didn't have a clue about the test yet, he wasn't in a hurry right now. He was going to go to the Baiyi Hall first, to visit his companions and entourages.

If it wasn't for his followers who risked their lives to protect him on the road, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to walk such a difficult road.

You know, on the wasteland, there are not only vicious wolves, but also tigers and leopards, and there are even more ferocious ones than wolves, tigers and leopards...

people.

When the pilgrim walked out of the courtyard, he stepped into the morning light, only to find that outside the courtyard, there were several officials of the big man, and then he was faced with another choice.

"What's the meaning?Give up learning from the scriptures? The learner's eyes widened in astonishment, "Is this what Hushi General meant?" 』

"No, no, it's not what the general meant," Guo Tu said, waving his hands, "it's my personal suggestion. 』

"You haven't obtained the scriptures yet, so you still have the opportunity to give up, and you still have the opportunity to choose another path that is completely different, but absolutely equally exciting and bright, and it must even be more comfortable and pleasant than going back." 』Guo Tu sat in the hall, took a sip of the hot tea at hand, slightly relieved the drowsiness caused by lack of sleep last night, then looked at the somewhat stunned, silent learner, slowly He said: "I think it is not easy to come out, and to be honest, even if you bring the scriptures back, what can you do?"So I think you can choose the second path...』

"Look, here in Chang'an, is there anything that you don't have?Is there any place in the world that is more comfortable than Chang'an? Guo Tu continued, "As long as you give up learning the scriptures, many difficulties will be easily solved.Your own burden will also be lightened a lot, won't it? 』

"Of course, you think it's not worth it to give up so easily..." Guo Tu looked at the man who learned the scriptures with his head down, and didn't respond, but he was a little displeased, and said, "It's like what the general said. In other words, even if you have obtained the scriptures, so what? 』

"However, I can give you another absolutely sufficient reason..." Guo Tu pointed to the hall, "You can see this, this is the Dahan Translation Pavilion, which is responsible for all kinds of translations from neighboring countries and local foreign countries. Document translation, archiving work... You are from the Southern Wilderness Snow Region, so of course you are also qualified to take up a position here... Think about it, wouldn't this be better than bringing the scriptures back with you after all your hard work? ?In a few years, maybe not even ten years, when you get promoted, when you take my position, you will become a worshiped person in the Southern Wilderness Snow Area, and you can even bring guards and pawns of big men , go back to the Southern Wilderness Snow Region again, and do what you want to do... Wouldn't it be a hundred times better than what you are doing now, just going back with some scriptures? 』

The scripture learner remained silent, but there was quite a stir in his heart.

Not long after entering Chang'an, I met the Hushi General yesterday. It was only a one-night effort, and everything seemed to be a little different. The scriptures, the position, it seems that I can choose at will...

"I know your devotion to the five gods..." Guo Tu looked at him and continued, "But people always have to eat, don't they?I can also give you a promise here, as long as you are willing to come to my office, I will never treat you badly.If there is any opportunity for promotion in the future, I will definitely take care of you first. 』

"The scriptures, of course it's very good, it's a very high and wonderful thing, but what good can reading the scriptures do for you?I mean the benefits to you..." Guo Tu smiled, "No.Even if you really take the five-direction God's Tao Sutra and go back, who will remember you in the Southern Wilderness Snow Region in the future?If you stay here, you can definitely leave your name, maybe people in the future will know what your name is... By the way, I don't even remember your name now, I just know that you are a Buddhist... ...'

"DeGranzi. The learner looked up, "My name is DeGrandzi." 』

"What ride?Oh, wolf riding. ”Guo Tu nodded, obviously perfunctory and said, “The name is not bad. 』

Guo Tu disturbed DeGrandzi's heart, and his thoughts were flying.

Staying in Chang'an as an official is like a splendid golden road unfolding under his feet.This road is comfortable, stable, more comfortable and more enviable than when he went back with scriptures...

So should we choose ease and comfort, or choose hardship and difficulty?

This is really an extremely difficult choice.

He even felt that this choice was like getting lost in the wilderness and trying to choose the direction to go.

DeGrandzi looked at Guo Tu, he knew that as long as he nodded, everything would change, he believed that Guo Tu's words were true, because Guo Tu didn't need to deceive him.

Guo Tu looked at the emotional reaction in his eyes, his face suddenly became serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Do you know how difficult it is for a big man to take up an official position?"Maybe this is an opportunity given to you by the five gods?If you miss it, you will regret it in the future. 』

There is no doubt that just now it was a lure, but now it is a naked threat.

DeGrandzi was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice: "I, I will think about it..."

"Well, you should think about it. 』Guo Tu let out a breath, apparently dissatisfied with not being able to complete the task assigned by the hussars immediately, but he did not continue to say anything, but waved his hand and asked someone to take DeGrandzi out.

Confused, DeGrandzi went to the Hundred Medical Center.

After seeing his entourage who was still being treated, the doctor at the Hundred Medical Center told him that he had used all the medicines, which were taken internally and applied externally, and now it was up to his entourage...

"What does it mean to look at yourself?" 』DeGrandzi hadn't fully recovered from Guo Tu's words before, and asked with some doubts.

"Only by himself, the medicine is all outside help, the most important thing is himself..."

The doctor gave deGrandzi a casual explanation and went away.

Physicians in Baiyi Hospital are very busy, because there are many people in Chang'an, more people will get sick, and Baiyi Hospital is not the kind of hospital that only accepts high-end customers, so it must be all kinds of noisy and busy.

After listening to the doctor's words, DeGrandzi seemed to have thought of something, so he couldn't help lowering his head and stood there dumbfounded.

There were people coming and going around, and their voices fluctuated loudly and softly.

I don't know how long it took, DeGrandzi raised his head slowly, and the color of the morning light that shone on his door this morning seemed to appear in his eyes again...

It was a light full of hope.

"So, this is the test..."

...(~￣▽￣)～...

On the other side of Chang'an.

Although Zhen Mi broke away from the Dahan Chamber of Commerce, donated her own property and moved to live in the official dormitory of Jing Zhaoyin, the living conditions inevitably dropped a lot, but she didn't seem to feel that this was the case. How unacceptable life is, I am busy dealing with writing and affairs every day, and people have become more and more capable. Even rouge and gouache seem to be used a lot less.

Zhen Mi's current position can be regarded as what she was originally good at. It is responsible for handling business matters, and she can be regarded as a subordinate of Xun You, the chief steward of Chang'an.

Even though Zhen Mi lacked a lot of attire, she had a good foundation after all, and she was extremely gorgeous no matter how you looked at it. Even the officials who came and went in the mansion of the Hussar General of the Han Dynasty, they couldn't help slowing down on purpose when they passed by, twisting their heads. The ones on the neck, the ones looking sideways with the head lowered, are all different.

Zhen Mi donated property, but she has no money, but it doesn't mean that Zhen Mi becomes a pauper immediately.For people like Zhen Mi, the caravan and others have donated their floating wealth, but she still has real estate and shops...

And if it is true that Zhen Mi donates her property, it will become impossible to continue living, and there is no such reason.

Which merchant is willing to raise donations next time?
In Zhen Mi's office, Wang Ying was somewhat uncomfortable.

"Sister of the Wang family, you are..." Zhen Mi asked her maid to pour some syrup for Wang Ying, "Come on, drink some water first."This is the peach blossoms that I have freshly collected from outside the city, and then soaked in the dried peaches of last autumn, it has a special flavor...』

Wang Ying drank some syrup, collected herself, and narrated what happened to Wang Huai.

"Recruitment? ’ Zhen Mi smiled and asked softly, ‘Then what do you mean? 』

"I, I mean? ’Wang Ying still couldn’t help feeling a little shy, ‘I don’t understand...’

"This is a test, but also a choice..." Zhen Mi looked at Wang Ying, "You have to think about it..."
