MTL - Great Tang Broom Star-~ Youth like a tiger (1): Wouldn't it be good to just eat and wait to die?

  Youth is like a tiger (1): Isn't it good to eat and wait to die?

   In the second year of Shangyuan, early spring.

  Jia Hong was sitting in the classroom, with a pale face and fat face, and a pair of thick eyebrows frowning seriously, listening to the teacher's lecture.

The gentleman turned his eyes, waved the scroll in his hand, and strengthened his tone, "The child is innocent, the eyes that look at the world are pure and innocent, and the mountains are mountains. From the beginning of entering mathematics, all the courses are telling you that the mountain is not Mountain…"

  My classmate and friend Zhang Lun stood up the book, lowered his head slightly and turned his face slightly, "Jia Hong, Qian Wuniang, the one you like, said that she doesn't like you, and she also said that when a man and a woman want to be happy, they need to be emotional first..."

  Jia Hong's chubby face collapsed, "It's fake."

  Aye said that the passion between men and women starts from sex. What do women like in a man? Looks first, temperament second, money and power third...but in many cases money and power come first.

  Jia Hong thinks this is not right...According to Aye, both men and women are animals who are greedy for profit. Aye smiled slightly at the time, seeming to hold back some complaints, then rubbed the top of his head and said, "Erlang has grown up. You must know that money, power, looks and temperament are the same... they are all resources."

   Jia Pingan hesitated to speak at the time, but finally held back a lot of words because Wei Wushuang came. Jia Hong resigned, and later heard his parents arguing about the previous words.

  "...It's a fact that men are miserable, but why are women like this?"

   "Both men and women are the same." Jia Pingan rubbed his short beard and said very complacently: "Although my husband is approaching age, but if I stand out, those girls still flock to him. Why? Power and money!"

   "What are you talking about with Erlang?"

   Wei Wushuang felt helpless, feeling that Jia Ping'an was becoming more and more out of tune.

Jia Pingan pondered for a long time, "I want to tell the children that loving people should be cherished, but I want to tell them that all this is just an exchange. Looks, temperament, money and power are used to exchange affection... Looks and temperament can last forever, but What is more permanent is the love bought with money and power..."

   Wei Wushuang said for a long time: "Everyone seeks profit."

   "Yes." Jia Pingan said in a low voice: "Last time I took you to the grassland to see the wolf king. Why is the wolf king like this? It is because it is the most vicious. In the world, this is money and power..."

  Outside the house, Jia Hong clenched his fists, raised his head and muttered, "Fifth Lady is not that kind of person!"

  …

not real!

  Jia Hong shook his head firmly.

get out of class has ended.

  Because they are about to graduate, so the discipline control is also tighter.

  The only fun is to go to the school gate, where there are several shops selling food and other sundries that students like, and the business is booming.

   "Two pancakes!"

  A group of students gathered around the small shop on the left. Qian Wuniang, who had fair skin and sharp eyes, stood behind the counter, looking behind while collecting money for goods.

Look at me! Look at me!

  Jia Hong is not tall, but he is not short either. He tried his best to tiptoe, just wanting Qian Wuniang to see his whole face clearly.

   There was joy and shyness in Qian Wuniang's eyes, and Jia Hong was overjoyed, and just about to push through, he found that his eyes seemed to go backwards.

   He glanced back...

  Xungui's son Hua Dingyun nodded slightly reservedly, a little more proud of being favored by a girl.

  Jia Hong blinked his eyes.

  He felt empty in his head and a little weak in his body.

  The boy was very frustrated and wanted to go out, but when he thought that he would be regarded as a failure, he forcibly suppressed the feeling that made him extremely frustrated.

  He followed the crowd to the front, Qian Wuniang raised her eyes slightly, looked over his head and asked, "What do you want to buy?"

  Jia Hong, who was ignored, froze for a moment. Looking at his favorite beef jerky, he felt sour in his mouth, no, it was sour in his heart.

   But he still said, "Beef jerky."

  Qian Wuniang lowered her eyes and said seriously: "Although Datang now raises a lot of cattle in the grasslands and has lifted the restrictions on beef sales, the price of beef is still very expensive. You can change it."

  The girl was worried that he would slap his face swollen to pretend to be a fat man. In order to please her, he would "go bankrupt" and lose all his private money, so she kindly reminded her.

  Jia Hong shook his head, "Take it."

  Qian Wuniang snorted coldly, "Two liang."

  Jia Hong gave the money blankly, squeezed out of the crowd with an oiled paper bag.

  He quietly returned to the classroom, sat behind his desk, and slowly opened the oiled paper bag.

  Two taels of beef jerky sounds like a lot, but it is actually two small pieces.

   Jia Hong remembers that it was Aye's suggestion... After defeating Dashi, the world was shocked, and the name of Datang made foreigners bow their heads and ears.

"Those alien races were afraid of Datang, so they moved one after another, and the rest were at a loss. Zhao Guogong suggested to feed more beef cattle, and also proposed to cancel the ban on the sale of beef cattle, so that we can eat beef in a fair manner. But Jia Hong, this beef jerky It's not cheap, you won't spend this month?"

  Zhang Lun walked into the classroom, sniffing, a little hungry. Jia Hong threw him a lump of beef jerky and said, "This month is over."

  He has a lot of pocket money, but his parents are out of town at the moment, so no one cares about him. He just needs to talk to the elder brother who is in charge of the Jia family when he returns home.

  Children of the Jia family can’t even make beef jerky freely, and they will be laughed at if they speak out.

  Zhang Lun took a bite of beef jerky, squinted his eyes and said, "It's really delicious."

  The two ate beef jerky, Zhang Lun wiped his hands and asked, "The imperial examination is coming soon, Jia Hong, are you sure?"

   No matter how good you study on weekdays, no one is sure about the imperial examination.

  Jia Hong nodded with firm eyes, "I will definitely pass the exam!"

   When he spoke, his voice was a little louder, just as those classmates came in, they all laughed when they heard it.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

  They laughed unscrupulously.

  Jia Hong was not angry either.

  Back home later, Jia Hong first went to find Sister A.

  DouDou looked at him with a frown, "Erlang, my aunt told you to be a rich and idle person. Our family is not short of money. Wouldn't it be better for you to live your life so carefree?"

  Doudou has fully grown, tall and slender, with lively eyebrows and eyes. Now there is a saying in Chang'an City: Whoever can marry Jia Doudou is the number one handsome man in Chang'an!

   Jia Hong said stubbornly: "I don't want to be rice bugs!"

Doudou sighed, and said melancholy: "But you are too innocent, Aye doesn't say it, it's just worried that you are in a bad mood, and he also wants you to be a rich and idle person. Besides, the aunt said it, unless you are in the second Before the age of fifteen, you can reach the top seven grades, otherwise you will go home honestly and be a rich and idle person."

  The county magistrate of the upper counties is Zhengqipin. However, those who pass the imperial examination generally have to polish for a long time, and only those who are outstanding have the opportunity to become such a county magistrate.

   Jia Hong said seriously: "Sister, I have confidence."

  DouDou rubbed his eyebrows, "I also have confidence in you."

  The whole family, including classmates, are not optimistic about his imperial examination and career...Jia Hong was overjoyed, "Sister is so kind."

   Doudou sighed: "I have confidence in you as a wealthy and idle person."

  Jia Hong's face was downcast.

   "Da Lang-jun is back."

  Jia Yu is back.

  Now he is working in the James Mansion, his position is not high, and he is only the chief bookkeeper. It should be difficult for him to reach the seventh rank before he is twenty-five. Of course, this is not because the Jia family is incapable, nor is it because Jia Yu is incompetent, but the rhythm of the officialdom is like this. If you want to leapfrog, unless you are particularly outstanding.

  Jia Yu's beard is sparse. For the sake of appearance, he cleans it up from time to time, maintaining the image of a white-faced scholar.

   "About the imperial examination, Erlang, isn't it good to be rich and idle?" Jia Yu frowned slightly.

  The whole family felt sorry for this innocent Jia Erlang, and worried that he would be tricked and cheated when he went out.

  Jia Hong shook his head, "Aye said that people should have goals in life, and my goal is to be a useful person!"

  The young man is very determined, with a bit of high spirits.

  Adi is very stubborn, Jia Yu smiled bitterly, "Then prepare."

  Dad said he was going to inspect schools in various places, and took their mother to play along the way, but he disappeared after this trip. So Jia Yu immediately became the head of the family and was very busy.

   Doudou has to take care of the family affairs, and it is not easy on weekdays. She said: "Brother, I have to go out tomorrow."

   Jia Yu frowned, "It's only early spring and it's still cold, where are we going?"

  Doudou proudly said: "Wang Qiang invited me to have a spring outing."

  Jia Yu's head was full of black lines, "Play as long as you play, what excuses are you looking for? Bring more people."

  Jia Hong said: "Sister is the safest thing to do."

  Erlang is really loyal!

  Doudou raised his eyebrows, "Naturally."

  Jia Yu had a headache, he looked at Jia Hong, "Remember, you are a child of the Jia family, if anyone wants to bully you, be decisive, ah!"

  Doutou pursed his lips, "Kerang didn't reveal his identity outside."

  Jia Yu said lightly: "Aye's reputation is too great, he has many friends and enemies. In addition, Aye doesn't want us to gain power, so Erlang and Saburo are not allowed to report their families, which is also considered experience."

  Jia Dong, who has been silent all this time, said calmly: "Second brother is too kind, that's not good."

  Jia Hong said dissatisfied: "Why not?"

Jia Dong squinted at him, and said coldly: "People are bullied by kindness. This is how it is in this world...the weaker you are, the purer you are, the more others will bully you and take advantage of you. The second brother is such a pure Temperament, if you don't want to be bullied by others, the best way is to take someone's knife and punch you... Spreading your reputation will naturally save you a lot of trouble."

  Jia Hong shook his head.

  The three of them looked at him for a long time, and all sighed.

   After dinner, Jia Hong sat in his room and read a book.

  Suddenly he felt something, opened the door and walked out.

  The moonlight in the early spring swayed in the courtyard somewhat desertedly. The old tortoise crawled past him as if no one was around, and there was a nest for it on the right side.

  The spring breeze is blowing, slightly cold. The branches and leaves of the trees in the courtyard are swaying, and the shadows are just below.

  Jia Hong took a deep breath of cool air, clenched his fists, and said seriously: "I want to prove to everyone that I am not an idiot!"

  He has been loved by his father and brother since he was a child. At first he didn't understand, but then he gradually understood that he was too pure...Jia Hong always thought he was stupid, and his family changed his words to say that he was pure for his self-esteem.

  Father said that it is difficult to change the nature of the country. Looking at the pitying eyes of his father and brothers, Jia Hong didn't say anything, and followed his brothers to study and practice together. Back at his place, he waited carefully for the servant girl to leave, then covered the window with his coat, lit the candles, then sat on the ground, leaning against the desk to study...

  He will get up earlier in the morning, and practice at his own place...sword skills, archery skills...

  The indoor candlelight is flickering, shining on the neatly written notes, those pictures are meticulous, and behind those records are countless experiences...

  Jia Hong took out the horizontal knife, and the light of the knife flickered in the courtyard in an instant.

  Under the moonlight, the chubby body moved nimbly, and the sharp knife light covered the entire courtyard...

  ………………

  The new book is still being prepared, and the house is being renovated by the way. A book friend asked how long it will take for the new book to come out... I don't know now, I mean it sincerely, but it will be as soon as possible.
