Chapter 153 Beating the Madman
The scenery in autumn is beautiful, and it is a good time to travel with beauty.
By the Xuanwu Lake, the autumn wind is gentle, the shadows of trees are swaying, the lake is waving like scales, and the cruise ships are shuttled through, and the ladies and young men on the boat are singing and laughing, reciting poems and writing each other, which is so romantic.
Fang Zheng is not a so-called scholar and elegant person. In fact, he despises such people very much. After all, poetry is just a little trick. For him, writing a few sentences when picking up girls may be the finishing touch, but if you waste too much time studying it, you will lose your original intention.
This may be related to Fang Zheng's experience in his previous life. Although he graduated from the Chinese department of university in his previous life, he was just a typical product of the education line. He received cramming education since childhood. His parents stumbling and stumbled into the university, but since then he developed a hatred and burnout towards books. I believe many people who have read books can understand this. Therefore, Fang Zheng is very disgusted with those who shake their heads and show off their knowledge in public.
For example, the so-called literati and servants on the cruise boat stood on the bow of the boat with their hands behind their backs in front of the ladies of each family, looking noble and upright, tilting their heads towards the sky, chanting their own poems that they thought were wonderful, sometimes their clothes fluttered, sometimes their folding fans swayed lightly,—It's already autumn, and the weather is cool, aren't they cold when they shake the folding fans? Could it be that they want to calm themselves down?
"Husband, husband!" A sweet call came from his ears.
"Ah, what?" Fang Zheng came to his senses and looked at her with a smile.
Yanran looked at Fang Zheng's sarcastic smile, blinked her pretty eyes and said in a sweet voice: "My husband is so stunning when he sees the cruise ship on the lake, may he fall in love with which lady?" After saying that, he pouted in displeasure.
Fang Zheng laughed and said, "Come on, how can those vulgar and big breasts and brainless vulgar fans be able to get into the eyes of this young master? Look at it, my Yanran is the most charming..."
Seeing those young ladies who were showing off their charm on the cruise ship but were happy to smile, what would they be a vulgar fan?
"What are you looking at?" Yanran was very curious about Fang Zheng's sarcastic expression.
Pointing to the cruise ship on the lake, Fang Zheng said calmly: "I'm looking at those talents. They used all their skills to make the ladies smile and were full of sluts, as if they were the most talented in the world. If my Huachao was in a chaotic world at this moment, I don't know how these talents would behave..."
Yanran smiled, her smile full of mockery: "The so-called talented man, who is popular in the prosperous times, and is servile in the troubled times. After reading a few books, he thought he was superior and was ashamed of being a commoner. But if the Turks went south and occupied my great rivers and mountains, they would immediately change their homes. Even if they licked the Turkish master's feet, they must be happy to be tight..."
Fang Zheng laughed: "In this way, a talented man has no other ability, but his survivability is very strong."
Yanran looked at Fang Zheng with pretty eyes, and his eyes were flowing, and his eyes were circling. Zhanran said: "The husband is the only one who has real skills. He plans to retreat to the Turks, stabilize the country, save the lives of countless people, and negotiate with the Turkic envoys to prevent the Chinese dynasty from war. This kind of kindness and virtue are of great kindness. If descendants thousands of years later read history books, their reputation will leave a strong mark in the history books. The husband is a great hero who stands tall and upright, and Yanran is proud of his husband in this life."
Fang Zheng felt a little embarrassed when he was praised by his own woman: "This...ahem, low-key and low-key. Being kind is not known to everyone, but the truth is the kindness. You know, husband, I have always been a low-key person. - Let's not talk about this, since I'm traveling, it's better to get a cruise ship, and we will follow the crowd and go around the lake."
Smile and said softly: "Leave your husband's arrangement."
Fang Zheng ordered his servant to rent a small cruise ship with the boatman. The two of them took the boat together, and the boat swayed and headed straight into the lake.
Yanran leaned slanted beside the boat, looked at the distant view of Xuanwu Lake, and smiled at Fang Zheng, "My husband's literary talent is much better than those talented men. At this time, why don't you recite a poem to increase your interest in traveling?"
Fang Zheng laughed dryly and said, "Just have fun just to play, why do you have to recite poems? I really don't know who developed the problem..."
Yanran smiled and said, "Can you have no good sentences for your husband?"
Fang Zheng looked at the lakeside, pondered for a while, and then said confidently: "Who said there was no? Just recite poems. I opened my mouth and came and listened: Xuanwu Lake, the lake is very large, there are lotus flowers in Xuanwu Lake, and toads on the lotus flowers, and you can jump up as soon as you poke... What a poem, what a poem!"
After hearing this, Yanran laughed so hard that she covered her stomach and couldn't straighten her waist. Fang Zheng smiled proudly at the sky three times, but someone snorted coldly not far away: "I don't learn and I can't even learn to write poetry, which is ridiculous!"
Fang Zheng and Yanran were stunned and turned their heads together to look at them. Not far from the lake, there were a cruise ship that was very close to them. There were four or five people sitting scattered on the boat, one with his bow on his back, his face yellow and thin lips, his folding fan opened and closed, and he looked at them with a sneer. The words just now must have come from him.
Fang Zheng couldn't help but feel anger. I'm joking with his wife. What's wrong with you?
Just as he was about to start swearing, he heard a familiar voice in the boat shouting: "Huh? Isn't that Brother Fang? Brother Fang!"
Fang Zheng looked at the man, but the man was fat. There was an acquaintance sitting next to the fat man, and he was the King of Thailand.
These princes live a very comfortable life. Fang Zheng glanced at them enviously. He didn't have to give birth and didn't have to go to work. The court kept them in vain. He cried and shouted, begging you not to worry about anything. If you want to work hard and be positive, the emperor will be anxious if the prince is not anxious... Such days are exactly what Fang Zheng thought about day and night. I really envied them for reaching this level at a young age, but I don't know how many years he has to struggle...
With the fat man's loud greeting, the two ships gradually approached, and the boatman skillfully clamped a small anchor tightly on Fang Zheng's ship. The two ships were finally connected together.
Fang Zheng led Yanran and stepped over carefully. The fat man came out first, stood at the bow of the boat and punched Fang Zheng hard: "You kid really know how to enjoy happiness. You traveled with Mrs. Ru all day long, may you forget who I am?"
Yanran blushed when she heard this, and she lowered her head shyly.
Fang Zheng shouted: "Where is it? Your father sent me a lot of errands, and I was so busy that I was so busy that I took my wife out for a break..."
Before he finished speaking, someone next to him snorted coldly: "Pretending to behave!"
Fang Zheng turned his head and looked at him, and saw that the person who was talking was the one who had just stood at the bow of the boat and mocked him. He saw him looking at Fang Zheng with disdainful eyes, with a contemptuous expression as if he was looking at a piece of shit.
Fang Zheng couldn't help but be furious. This kind of eyes was only encountered when he was looking for a job in the talent market before traveling through time. Unexpectedly, in ancient times, he also looked at him with this kind of eyes, which made Fang Zheng feel like he was torn apart with a scar. Then Fang Zheng quickly calmed down. He had suffered a loss now and was now scheming. It was best not to be too reckless before he didn't understand the other party's identity.
Tugging the fat man's sleeve, Fang Zheng quietly whispered and asked in a low voice: "Who is that boy? Have you taken the wrong medicine? Do I know him?"
The fat man also curled his lips, "He is the manager of my Third Emperor's Mansion, named Chen Chong, a scholar who failed to win the title. He was taken over by the Third Emperor's Brother, but he was arrogant and always thought that he had the ability and was very talented. He could no longer tolerate anyone except the Third Emperor's Brother."
Fang Zheng suddenly realized that he was just a diner and thought he was a royal relative. Such people always acted like a wild and unruly person to show people how talented he was. Unfortunately, most of them only have the appearance of a madman, but no madman's connotation, and they imitate each other and are extremely pretentious...
Fang Zheng leaned close to the fat man and whispered: "No wonder this man looks like he is the biggest," he...but he always tilted his neck at such a forty-five-degree angle. Wouldn't he be tired? What should I do when I sleep at night? This posture is easy to get cervical spondylosis..."
The fat man smiled and said, "It's said that a talented man doesn't live long, so it's probably because of this. He just lost the title. He was arrogant and thought that he was more capable than he was, but he was not lucky enough to be on the list, so he didn't like anyone, as if he would be the top scorer next year..."
Forget it, don't bother with such people. I have too many things to do, so there is no need to cause trouble anymore. Fang Zheng smiled faintly, but ignored the person, and held Yanran's hand on his own. Yanran smiled and blessed the fat man, and said softly: "The civilian woman has seen His Highness the King of Fu."
The fat man hurriedly said, "If you don't dare to take it, don't salute me in the future, you won't be able to do it..."
Yanran said suspiciously: "Why can't you do it?"
Fang Zheng smiled and said, "How can I say that my sister-in-law saluted her brother-in-law? Besides, I still hold his handle in my hand. If he dares to accept your tribute, I will make his scandal public..."
Yanran said in confusion: "What is the handle of Your Highness Fu King who has been held by you?"
Fang Zheng leaned into Yanran's ear and whispered: "Once, I took the soldiers to perform a mission, but someone jumped into the river on the pleasure boat..."
The fat man was sweating profusely and said anxiously: "You can't say it, you can't say it! Brother Fang, I didn't offend you..."
"Give money! Cover the fee! Otherwise I will yell all over the world..."
“…………”
The three of them stood at the bow of the boat and said a few words. After seeing Yanran's stunning appearance, Chen Chong's expression, which was originally arrogant and noble, changed in vain. He radiated a fanatical light in his eyes, and he stared at Yanran blankly, unable to speak for a long time.
Seeing this, Fang Zheng frowned, turned around quietly, blocked Yanran, blocking Chen Chong's vision. The anger in his heart became more and more powerful, Damn! The so-called talented man in ancient times is just this kind of virtue? He laughs at men when he sees women when he sees women. If this is also called a talented man, I would rather be a gangster...
Under Chen Chong's disappointed and resentful eyes, the three of them walked straight into the cabin when he passed by him transparently.
The King of Thailand still smiled politely and politely. When he saw Fang Zheng coming in, he stood up and smiled and said, "Brother Fang, are you okay?"
Fang Zheng bowed and smiled and said, "Your Highness, you don't have to be arrogant. When we meet in the future, we will ask directly: 'Did you eat it?" I will answer: 'Eat it.' You will ask again: 'What did you eat?' I will answer: 'Leek Dumplings'... so kind, right?"
The King of Thailand laughed, and the few people sitting scattered in the cabin also smiled.
Then the King of Thailand introduced Fang Zheng to meet everyone. It turned out that the few people sitting in the boat were all literati and scholars, including Chen Chong, who was still standing foolishly on the bow of the boat. Seeing that the autumn was clear and cool today, the King of Thailand invited several friends from poetry to recite poems and write pairs to increase their interest.
However, although the people here don’t know how talented their literary talent is, they have a good character. After seeing Yanran’s stunning appearance, they were only briefly amazed, and then they turned their eyes away and stopped looking at them.
At this time, Chen Chong also walked into the cabin and sat down, but his eyes were staring at Yanran with a daze, looking like he was in a state of dismay. He was almost drooling. Yanran frowned slightly and turned his head quietly.
Seeing Chen Chong's ugly appearance, everyone shook their heads. The King of Thailand and the Fatty couldn't help but look dark. The King of Thailand's face was even more ashamed and annoyed. After all, Chen Chong was from his mansion. After all, he was so rude in front of Fang Zheng that he couldn't help but lose his face.
"Chen Chong, pay attention to your manners! Don't lose your etiquette!" The King of Thailand rebuked in a deep voice, with anger hidden in his voice.
Chen Chong is also a typical intellectual stubborn temper. He probably relied on his literary talent and was not very interested in the Thai king who was in charge of his food and clothing. Hearing him, he finally turned his eyes away from his eyes, but muttered with a pity: "A good saddle is more suitable for a bad horse, and a good wife is not a bad husband, and it is unreasonable..."
Although the muttering sound was small, everyone in the cabin heard it. Everyone's expression changed one after another when they heard it. This person was too arrogant! The King of Thailand and the Fatty's faces became even blue.
"Chen Chong! Do you know what you are talking about?" The King of Thailand had a bad tone. Fang Zheng was his new friend, and they had a good impression of each other, but his subordinates did not give him a face, which made him feel very embarrassed. Chen Chong always looked arrogant and unruly in the mansion. Seeing that he was indeed a little talented, he resisted not driving him out of the mansion. Unexpectedly, he was present today with outsiders, which made the King of Thailand extremely angry.
Chen Chong was a person who had no eyesight, of course he didn't know that he had already been angry at the moment. He bowed and said, "Your Highness, the student once said that beauty should be worthy of a talented man. This person is so vulgar, but he is in love with a beautiful woman. He is really a secret pearl, and the student sighs."
Yanran was so angry that her delicate body couldn't help but tremble, her face turned red, she opened her mouth and waited for refutation. When she saw Fang Zheng beside her, she didn't say anything at the right time.
Chen Chong still kept talking: "...Talented men are great talents in the country. How can there be a beauty who is not worthy of a talented man and follow a reckless man..." When he spoke, his eyes were half closed, so arrogant that he couldn't even look at Fang Zheng.
Fang Zheng looked at the King of Thailand with a pale face, thinking that this crazy thing was caused by the King of Thailand to deliberately disgust me? Originally, the two of them had a good impression of each other, but these princes grew up in court struggles and were used to conspiracy and cunning. Who knows what twists and turns in the King of Thailand is?
Seeing Fang Zheng looking at him with suspicion, the King of Thailand couldn't help but smile bitterly, knowing that Fang Zheng might have misunderstood that this person was ordered by him. Then the King of Thailand exchanged a wink with the fat man and nodded.
The fat man glanced at Chen Chong, who was singing with his hands behind his back, then leaned into Fang Zheng's ear and said, "Brother Fang is willing, we don't see anything..."
Fang Zheng was waiting for this sentence, and he sneered, regardless of what the scholars next to him looked at him. Under the shocked gaze of everyone, including Yanran, he lifted Chen Chong's collar and dragged it to the stern of the boat.
Chen Chong screamed in fear and shouted: "What are you going to do? I am a scholar and have a scholar's reputation. How dare you be rude to me..."
Fang Zheng put him down, slapped him hard several times, and shouted loudly: "I am still a court official, how dare you be rude to me?"
Chen Chong was stunned for a moment and said, "You... are you a court official?"
"Why? Doesn't it look like it?" Fang Zheng bulged his bulging chest muscles, but the effect was not great. In dissatisfaction, he copied a wooden stick that the boatman had placed on the stern of the boat, and glared at Chen Chong fiercely.
"You...you...even if you are a court official, you can't be rude to me!" Chen Chong was frightened. His arrogant look had long disappeared. He finally showed a look of fear on his face: "I...I...I...I have fame and fortune..."
"Your mother's name!" Fang Zheng swung the wooden stick and slapped Chen Chong hard, cursing, "I dare to beat up even the son of the Minister of the current dynasty. You little scholar is nothing!"
From the time of boarding the boat to now, Fang Zheng's heart finally vented, and he even more contempt for such a bullshit. This kind of pretender actually has the courage to covet my wife. This world is really a matter of human heart and moral quality is corrupt...
Chen Chong was beaten so hard that he screamed. Seeing that his master, His Highness, the King of Thailand, who had been so long, did not come out to save him, he couldn't help but shout: "...His Highness of Thailand! His Highness of Thailand! Save the students!"
Fang Zheng scolded while beating: "Scream! Give me a quiet look! Can't you let me beat you quietly? If you dare to hit my wife, you have to understand what the outcome is!"
After being a little tired of fighting, Fang Zheng slapped the wooden stick on the board, opened his eyes wide open, and shouted: "Say!...Eat wontons or board knife noodles!"
Chen Chong was stunned and didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence. Although Fang Zheng beat him a lot, he finally showed mercy and did not beat him too hard. He was afraid that the King of Thailand would be unable to get over the face. After all, there is a saying: It depends on the owner to beat a dog.
After looking at the clear lake water, Fang Zheng rolled his eyes and said, since he had to look at the owner of the dog, he could throw the dog into the water.
Patting Chen Chong's shoulder, Fang Zheng asked, "Hey! Is it watery?"
Chen Chong was beaten to a daze. He woke up a little while hearing this. He supported his head as swollen as a pig's head. He still maintained the demeanor of a scholar and said reservedly: "...understand a little."
Huh! At this time, he was still imitating Zhuge Liang, pretending to be deadly. Fang Zheng sneered, grabbed Chen Chong's front, and said in a secluded look: "Ask you a question."
"What?" Chen Chong didn't understand. Wasn't he being beaten now? Why did he ask questions instead?
"What is one plus one equal?" Fang Zheng's tone was gloomy, as if it was a bit murderous intent.
Chen Chong couldn't help but chill, thought for a while, and said, "It's equal to...two."
Fang Zheng grinned: "You know too much."
After saying that, he pushed Chen Chong into the lake, and then ordered the boatman to turn the cruise ship and row it elsewhere.
The boatman looked at Chen Chong in amazement and swam to the shore while rowing water, and stammered at him and asked Fang Zheng, "This official... this... what's going on?"
Fang Zheng looked at Chen Chong's busy figure and smiled with praise: "Learn more, life is more exciting."
