Chapter 91 Have You Lived Too Much?

Chapter 91 Have you ever been extravagant?

Chapter 91 Have you ever been extravagant?

Wang Shouren moved back home.

On a sunny afternoon, he wore the blue robe he had worn when he first met. He waved his sleeves and took away not a single cloud, but only a stack of paper, which contained his thoughts and feelings these days.

Although the insights were his, the paper on which these insights were written was named Xia. Saint Wang was so poor that he was so poor that he had no money to buy paper.

If such a thick pile were converted into silver taels, I think it would be worth nine cents. Take it to a tavern, line it up to warm two bowls of wine, and have a plate of fennel beans. You can also show off your knowledge by telling you how many words there are for fennel.

A way of writing.

Of course, none of this matters.

The important thing is that Xia Yuan finally lived the life he had dreamed of, and could sleep until he woke up naturally every day.

In order to celebrate this great day, he drew a drawing, found a carpenter, built several deck chairs, and invited Xiaoqizi to experience this epoch-making product.

According to Xia Yuan's personal research, there was indeed no such thing as a recliner in the Ming Dynasty, and it was estimated that it would not appear until the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.

There was a table between the two lounge chairs, with dried fruit preserves and tea to quench thirst.

The snacks and tea must be placed carefully on the table. They cannot be too close or too far away. If they are too close, it will be uncomfortable if they cannot straighten their arms. If they are too far, they have to sit up to get them. They must be placed evenly.

It is best for people to sleep on a recliner and straighten their arms just enough to reach it.

Most lazy people understand this feeling.

After Xia Yuan's precise measurement, he drew a line between 37 and 37 on the table. He took 7 and Xiaoqiaozi took 3. He placed snacks and tea on this line so that both of them could reach it with straight arms.

The bare leaves of the ginkgo tree could not block the sunlight at all. The two of them nestled comfortably in the lounge chairs, enjoying the warm winter sun and the candied dried fruits on the table.

Zhao Yuerong felt that she might have really fallen, and she had now begun to like this 'luxurious' life.

Her two little feet in embroidered shoes were dangling gently on the recliner. She stretched out her arms to pick up a candied fruit and put it into her mouth. Feeling the sweet taste, she liked it even more.

Chewing dried fruits in her mouth, she vaguely expressed her concerns, looking worried, "Husband, there is a saying that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. I think it is not good for us to do this."

"Do you still know this sentence?" Xia Yuan was slightly surprised by her knowledge.

"I listened to what my father said."

"Oh, have you ever been extravagant?"

"It's very luxurious now. I don't have to do anything all day long. I can also lie on a chair, eat candied fruit and bask in the sun."

"You're worthless, what are you doing now?" Xia Yuan reached out and touched a piece of preserved fruit and stuffed it into his mouth, "If you think it's luxurious now, that's because your life was too bitter before, so a little sweetness makes you feel luxurious.

,Actually, this is not called luxury at all.”

"Then what is luxury?"

"Well, for example, if you are feeding yourself candied fruit now, if you want to feed candied fruit to a dog later, that would be called luxury."

"."

Xiao Qizi imagined the scene for a moment, then looked at the candied fruit in her hand, and suddenly felt that her heart ached.

It turns out that luxury is heartache.

This made her a little melancholy.

"Husband, my mother-in-law said that people should be able to endure hardship. This is a virtue. But I am living too well now, and I may not be able to endure hardship in the future."

"If you can't endure hardship, just eat it. Besides, being able to endure hardship is never a virtue. It's at best a helplessness." Xia Yuan turned his head and looked at her, "My husband asked you, do you like to live a good life or a hard life?"

"I like to live a good life."

"That's right, everyone likes to live a good life. Why endure hardship when you can enjoy it? Isn't this just a disease?"

Xia Yuan said with a serious look on his face: "So, enjoy what you have to enjoy, life is short, enjoy yourself while you can, do you understand?"

"People are like a fleeting horse. If you don't enjoy yourself in time, you will be sad. I wonder if my mentor's eight words summarize this sentence?"

Xia Yuan raised his head and took a look. Wang Shouren appeared out of nowhere again. Although it was quite magical to appear and disappear, he still wanted to say, I am chatting with my little lady, can you please stop making trouble.

"Is it worth it?"

"Um."

"Then please stop over there and don't block my sunlight."

A tall man of about 1.8 meters stood next to his recliner, blocking the sunlight completely. Xia Yuan often wondered if this guy had no idea about his height?

Wang Shouren moved aside very sensibly and looked at the recliner in front of him. "This chair is very novel, and students have never seen it before."

"You want to lie down too? Well, there's some extra over there."

"."

The word polite may not be in some people's lexicon. After hearing this, Wang Shouren walked straight over, carried the recliner over and lined it up with Xia Yuan's chair, and then lay down on it.

After feeling it quietly, he suddenly said: "Teacher, my student has a heartfelt request."

"explain."

"I wonder if my teacher can give this chair to a student?"

Xia Yuan: "."

Just lie down for you, but when you feel comfortable, you want to pack it up and take it away. This really shows that you don’t regard yourself as an outsider.

The little kid next to her couldn't help but open her eyes wide, a little shocked. How come this person doesn't blush?

"Teacher, the student is not using it for himself, but wants to give it to his father at home. My father has always suffered from back pain. I think this kind of chair will be much more comfortable for him to lie on."

Xia Yuan was silent for a while and asked, "If I asked you for money, would you feel alienated?"

"Of course not. In fact, the student wanted to pay for it just now, but he was afraid that the teacher would find out and think that the student and you were too different, so he shamelessly asked the teacher to give it to the student."

"Okay, for the sake of fulfilling your filial piety, I will take away the twenty taels of silver, and you will not be deceived."

Since he moved back to his mansion yesterday, Wang Shouren is now different from the past. He has become the eldest young master of the Wang family. He is no longer short of money. Moreover, in view of what happened last time when his father kicked him out, he now has a problem. He does not carry hundreds of dollars in his arms.

With two silver dollars, I always feel insecure when I go out.

Twenty taels of silver was completely childish. After taking out the money, Wang Shouren was a little moved, "My teacher is always so considerate and always considers his students."

"Uh, how do you say this?"

"The teacher must have felt that if he gave the chair to the students for free, the students would feel guilty, so he asked the students to pay for it."

Oh, so that’s what you thought?

Xia Yuan thought about it for a while, and maybe it was true.

"Hey, this chair is nice. Where did you get it, master?"

"."

Xia Yuan found that this recliner was comfortable, but there was a small flaw, that is, someone would always pop up next to it for no apparent reason.

"You want it too?"

"Master, are you going to give me a gift? How can this be so embarrassing?"

Zhu Houzhao rubbed his hands excitedly. Xia Yuan looked like a fly.

"I know you're embarrassed, so I won't give it to you. It's fifty taels a handful. You're a good boy. Pay the money first, and then go over there to pick up the goods."
