Chapter fifty-seven: three strategies of upper, middle and lower
Chen Kaizhi walked home, but thought in his heart that he had become a scholar, and the government school would distribute more rice and grain from now on. In this month, he would get almost a thousand coins and five dou of rice.
However, the addition of Chen Wuji now makes him feel a little stressed. He doesn't want to be hungry, nor does he want Chen Wuji who is studying at home to be hungry.
With one more person in this family, there will inevitably be a little more responsibility.
However, Chen Kaizhi did not regret it. How could he say that when he came to this world, he was helpless and had a mentor and recognized some friends, but his identity was very different in the end, which gave Chen Kaizhi a sense of psychological separation. However, he and Chen Wuji depended on each other for life. Both of them had no relatives and no support, which made Chen Kaizhi feel like he was dependent on each other for life.
At this time, Chen Kaizhi happened to pass by a stall and saw the lotus leaf chicken roasting with a refreshing fragrance. He didn't stop his index finger from moving, so he said to the vendor: "How much does this lotus leaf chicken cost?"
"Fifty-minutes..."
It was a bit extravagant, Chen Kaizhi thought for a while: "Come half."
"Young Master." The hawker smiled: "This lotus leaf chicken is only sold."
"Ah." Chen Kaizhi was a little embarrassed. Fifty Mont, it was really too luxurious. Hey, let's go home to drink porridge. He smiled and said, "Oh, I can't eat a chicken."
He is poor and has a short ambition. Chen Kaizhi is afraid that he will walk faster when he sees the hawker's strange gaze.
Along the way, I met several young children, clapping their hands around their heads, wearing luster, and confucian shirts, and accompanying the fish talisman, and shouting: "Little husband, little husband..."
The woman who was washing clothes on the roadside couldn't help but look at Chen Kaizhi a few more times. With a bit of springy eyes, Chen Kaizhi couldn't stand it. After all, he was still thin-skinned and too silly.
When he returned home, Chen Kaizhi was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back. He pushed the door open and was about to urge Chen Wuji to cook, but a scent of meat came to his face. On the table that was missing in the room, there was a table full of delicious food.
Chen Wuji dared not eat, and waited for Chen Kaizhi to come back with a mouth-watering difficulty. When he saw Chen Kaizhi pushing the door in, he immediately cheered and said, "Hurry, while it's hot, Brother Chen, have dinner."
"Where did this come from?"
Chen Wuji said: "Miss Xun heard that today is a ceremony for entering the Pan. He knew that Brother Chen must come back on an empty stomach. He called someone and brought these dishes, saying that Brother Chen had worked hard and he should reward himself."
Chen Kaizhi narrowed his eyes and became cautious. He was so sugar-coated shells that he couldn't help but say, "Don't he treat me as a soft meal?"
Chen Wuji was very unsatisfied and looked a little expectant: "Brother Chen, I will have a soft meal with you."
Chen Kaizhi smiled bitterly and shook his head, sat down, and coughed: "A gentleman is poor, but he doesn't eat food that comes from pity. But when he thinks about Miss Xun's first offense, he doesn't care. I'll send it to her next time. I'll scold her. Okay, have a meal."
Chen Wuji had been sharpening his knife for a long time. When he heard Chen Kaizhi's words, he immediately feasted. Chen Kaizhi wanted to show a little bit of politeness. After all, he was a big brother in front of him, and now he was a scholar. Seeing that he was swept away the wind, he couldn't hold his face: "Slow down." The chopsticks in his hand swept across like a battle knife. If the long sword was unsheathed, it would be stained with blood and returned.
After dinner, Chen Kaizhi enjoyed his current life very much. He was full of wine and was about to get up, but Chen Wuji burped: "I'll wash the dishes."
Chen Kaizhi waited for him to wash the dishes and checked what books he had read today. When Chen Wuji burned white water for Chen Kaizhi, Chen Kaizhi said: "Sit down, I have something to say."
Chen Wuji sat straight.
Chen Kaizhi stared at him: "Last time, do you know why I wanted to hit you?"
Chen Wuji was stunned for a moment and suddenly became listless: "Where is the tailor?"
Chen Kaizhi nodded.
Chen Wuji said carefully: "I am confused. I shouldn't have stole things, but..."
Chen Kaizhi took a sip of white water and shook his head: "You, I still don't understand. The tailor is not a good person. I have known it for a long time, but you have to know that anger without strength is worth a penny!"
Chen Wuji couldn't help but say, "I...I don't understand."
Chen Kaizhi sighed: "If you are confident that you can get your wages back and have a thorough way to make them helpless and get the benefits you deserve, then I would like to appreciate you no matter what you do. But you should be beaten, obviously weak and bullied, but you are so reckless. Do you know that if it weren't for me that day, you would be held like a thief. Will you still be able to turn over in your life?"
Chen Wuji said angrily: "But he..."
"Wuji, you are not young anymore. After living for so many years, have you met fewer evil people? Is the injustice that you encountered? You still don't understand that this place has never been a peaceful world, nor a bright world."
Chen Wuji's body trembled slightly. He had a very miserable life, so he had so much resentment.
Chen Kaizhi sighed: "Since the world is like this and you are not strong enough, you can't do anything by yourself. You are so blatantly regarded as a thief. This time it's luck. What about the next time? Do you know what consequences you will encounter? The consequence is that the tailor takes advantage of you, but he can still take you to the official position, let you be miserable thousands of miles away, and waste your life. And his anger cannot hurt him at all. He is still a good tailor, and his life is worry-free. Even your behavior is just an interesting thing to him. No one will remember you, no one will sympathize with you. Now, do you still dare to rob him of things openly?"
Chen Wuji beat the cicada.
Chen Kaizhi's eyes were faint, and he stared at Chen Wuji and said, "So, you must be patient and cruel!"
Chen Wuji was stunned for a moment: "How can you bear it? How can you be cruel?"
Chen Kaizhi said calmly: "The three strategies of the upper, middle and lower. If it is you, you have to endure it, because you don't have the strength, you have to protect yourself and swallow your anger. If you get angry next time you do such a thing, I will hit you. As for the Zhongshou, you can't use it, I... can't use it. You have to have the strength to use it. Just take people and smash the shop. The government should handle it in advance, and you have to bribe a person with a little face in the neighborhood and watch it. All the evidence must be done in detail to avoid any future troubles. As for this best strategy... I can use it, you can't use it..."
"What's the best strategy?" Chen Wuji looked surprised.
Chen Kaizhi lowered his head and took a sip of white water: "I asked some indescribable friends in the next song hall to help. From then on, I no longer went to the tailor's shop to cut clothes, and asked someone to spread some rumors about the tailor stealing materials. I have a friend in the yamen who has said hello and often goes there to "care". It's not long before the tailor's business will not only plummet, but also have a little irregularity, but may even have to sue."
Chen Wuji's eyes lit up and he said happily: "Thank you..."
Chen Kaizhi shook his head: "Remember what I said, be an honest person who compromises or you can do bad things smarter, do you know?"
Chen Wuji thought for a while: "But there is Brother Chen, I don't need to think about these things. I will do whatever Brother Chen asked me to do."
Hum? There is still this operation?
Chen Kaizhi's face was slightly pulled down, and he wanted to scold him with a stern face as if he was the eldest brother. The words came to his mouth, forget it, it seemed like he was eating a little too much.
……………………
Sweat, being scolded so hard that Chen Kaizhi hated Chen Wuji's overestimation of his own ability from beginning to end.
OK, today I will give you the third update, the disadvantages of being out of context are indeed obvious. After reading the first half, readers misunderstood and scolded, hey...
