Chapter 112: Hasty Decision
Just after noon, Zhang Zong planned the location of the greenhouse in the yard. Yesterday he had found the foreman and agreed that the other party would bring people to build the greenhouse in the next two days. However, before that, Zhang Zong needed to clean up a place.
Although the flowerbed is not small, it is full of flowers and plants, so it is not easy to clean up a place. In addition, the greenhouse must be built in a position where sunlight can be directly exposed. In this way, in winter, the sunlight can heat the greenhouse during the day. If it is not particularly cold, there is no need to heat the greenhouse with fuel.
In the end, Zhang Zong chose to approach the gate, a southward area. All the jasmine that Zhang Zong had cut before were planted here. After all, this is a jasmine that cannot be killed. Naturally, he had to choose the best place for sunshine. However, jasmine is also afraid of the cold, so he can only move them to the greenhouse.
Just when Zhang Zong was holding a tool and was about to change the place for Jasmine, he suddenly saw the Ni Nirvana Master walking in with a food box. Zhang Zong was stunned when he saw him. After all, he had not appeared for many days.
"Brother Zhang, is there any other strong wine from last time?" The Ni Nishishi raised the food box in his hand and smiled at Zhang Zong, but there was an indescribable bitterness in his smile.
Zhang Zong also heard about Ni Nie Master from Xue Shao, and almost guessed that he was in a bad mood. So he smiled and nodded and said, "There is still a lot of wine, enough for you to get drunk!"
When the Ni Ni Nii laughed when he heard Zhang Zong's answer, Zhang Zong invited him into the living room and went to the cellar to get the strong wine. The Ni Ni Niii also put the wine and food he brought on the table. When the wine was poured, he immediately picked it up and drank it all. Then the eyes and beard on his face shrank into a ball. After a while, he let out a long breath and said, "Good wine!"
"If you like it, drink more!" Zhang Zong once again gave the other party a full drink. The other party should have suffered a great blow these days. Drinking some wine can relieve the boredom in his heart.
Ni Nie was not polite either. He drank a few sips at the moment, but he didn't eat a few bites of the dishes he brought. This kind of drinking is the easiest to get drunk, so soon a few traces of red wine appeared on Ni Nie Nie's face.
"Brother Zhang, you should have heard of my story?" Master Ni Nie finally put down his wine glass and asked Zhang Zong with a little drunkenness.
"I heard it!" Zhang Zong nodded. Xue Shao told him the Ni Ni Niizhai that day that day that he was asking Master Ni Niizhai to marry him, but for the person involved, the blow was a bit too tragic.
"Haha, I think so. In just a few days, I became the laughing stock of the capital again. I don't know how many people laugh behind my back and overestimate my ability!" Ni Nishima smiled bitterly, and after saying that, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all. In the past few days, he and his father proposed marriage everywhere, and even he himself didn't remember how many times he had been rejected.
"Drink!" Zhang Zong didn't know how to comfort the other party, so he had to pour the other party full of wine again.
However, this time, the Ni Nie Master did not drink anymore, but smiled bitterly: "Brother Zhang, have you been deceived by your father?"
"This..." Zhang Zong was stunned when he heard this strange question. Then he thought about it before answering, "I was forced to study by my father since I was a child, and my father was very strict with me, but it seemed that he did not say that he was cheating."
Hearing Zhang Zong's answer, Ni Nie Master finally picked up the wine glass and drank it all again. Then he said in a hazy way: "Brother Zhang, you are so happy. When I was very young, I was sent to the Tang Dynasty by my father. I haven't seen him again for ten years. Although he often wrote to me, I gradually couldn't remember what he looked like."
When the Ni Nie Master said this, he burped and then said, "Every time my father wrote to me, he would remind me not to forget the great cause of restoring the country. My mother also taught me since childhood that my father was a great hero of Persia. Even though Persia had destroyed the country, my father still did not give up. He struggled to stay in the Western Regions for more than ten years without taking a step back. I have also regarded my father as my role model since I was a child!"
When he said this, Ni Nishima's eyes were red, and there seemed to be something crystal clear in his eyes: "But I was wrong, it was a big mistake. His father gave up. Since he came to Chang'an, he gave up the great cause of restoring the country. Now he just wants to get some benefits from your Tang Dynasty under the banner of restoring the country!"
Zhang Zong also looked surprised when he heard this. He had never seen Beilus and did not know him. However, since these words were said by Ni Nishima, I think there should be no mistake.
However, Zhang Zong thought about it carefully, but he felt that it was normal for Beilus to have this idea. He worked hard for half his life, but he still had no hope of restoring the country. In this case, it seemed that nothing wrong for him to give up restoring the country and come to the Tang Dynasty to enjoy his second half of his life. After all, not everyone has the indomitable spirit, and not everyone can become a hero who can turn the tide.
"I was originally moved by my father. After all, compared to restoring the country, staying in the Tang Dynasty was obviously a smooth road, but there was no road to restoring the country. I had to step out a road with my barefoot and blood, so I retreated. I agreed to my father arrange a marriage for me, but I didn't expect to become the laughing stock of Chang'an City again!" After saying that, Ni Nie Master drank a cup of pain again, and tears also burst out.
"It always takes some price to stay. Sometimes these prices may hurt more than you think!" Zhang Zong was silent for a moment before he said slowly.
"It's not just the pain, it's heart-to-heart pain, so painful that I never want to experience it again!" The Ni Nishima suddenly slapped the wine glass on the table, his face suddenly changed from its previous decadence, and his eyes became very sharp. "But I also want to thank this experience, because it was this pain that finally made me wake up. Instead of living in humiliation like this, it's better to fight with great strength!"
"Is it a bit hasty to decide this?" Zhang Zong frowned when he heard the words of Ni Ni Ni Nii, and asked back. Ni Ni Nii, had been shaken before, but now he wanted to choose the path of restoring his country just because he was rejected because of his proposal. This kind of thing sounds a bit unreliable.
"Are you sloppy? Maybe, but just like Brother Zhang, you said just now, I thought I could stay in the Tang Dynasty with peace of mind, but now I found that I was wrong. The price I paid for staying far exceeds my imagination. I don't want to live such a cowardly life. If I don't fight, I will not be willing to do so no matter what!" The Ni Nie Master also showed a firm look at the end.
Seeing that the Ni Ni Nirvana had made up his mind, Zhang Zong did not persuade him again. He picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine for the other party. The Ni Nirvana picked it up and drank it all, then directly picked up the wine jar next to him and drank half of the jar in one breath.
At this time, Ni Nishima was already drunk and shaking, but he still forced himself to stand up and looked at Zhang Zong drunk and said, "This... this is the last wine I have to drink. Unless... unless... I successfully restored my country, I will never get a drop of wine in my life!"
After saying that, Ni Nie's body softened and fell directly on the table, and he was so drunk that he couldn't wake up.
Looking at the drunken mud, Zhang Zong couldn't help but feel speechless. He had made such a hasty decision to restore the country just now, and now he vowed not to drink after drinking. This made him even more suspicious of the sincerity of the mud. Could it be that what he said just now was drunk, and he forgot everything he woke up the next day, right?
Zhang Zong went out to rent a carriage and then put the Ni Ni Ni Ni Niika on the carriage. Last time Ni Ni Ni Ni Niika and Luo Binwang got drunk with him, but the room was filled with wine smell. Later, Wan'er washed all the bedding, and the room was ventilated and incense. It took several days to taste. So Zhang Zong didn't want to ruin his room anymore.
As soon as the carriage carrying the Ni Nirvana Master left, he saw Xue Shao's carriage slowly coming from a distance. Zhang Zong simply waited at the door. Soon the carriage came to him and stopped. Xue Shao also jumped out of the carriage: "What are Brother Shi doing at the door? Who was in the carriage just now?"
"Master Ni Nie came to me and got drunk, and said that he would quit drinking from now on." Zhang Zong replied.
"Brave, if he can quit drinking, I will run around Qujiangchi with my bare butt!" Xue Shao said with disbelief.
Apart from being shameless and unscrupulous, Ni Nieji Master is most famous for his drinking. Last time, even the old drunkard Luo Binwang was not his opponent. Moreover, Ni Nieji Master usually likes to do something that he is drunk on the street and then finds someone to fight, so Xue Shao doesn't believe that he can quit drinking.
"I think..." Zhang Zong originally wanted to support Ni Nie Master mentally, but thinking of the other party's hasty performance just now, he suddenly lost confidence. He swallowed the words to his mouth and said, "Well, what you said makes sense!"
"Brother Shi, how is the manuscript written? My mother urges me again!" Xue Shao was too lazy to inquire about Master Ni Ni, and immediately told the important matter of his coming to Zhang Zong.
"I'm too busy here, so how can I have time to write manuscripts? Please help me persuade the eldest princess and ask her to wait!" Zhang Zong smiled bitterly when he heard this. The eldest princess' appetite is getting bigger and bigger now. In the past, it could be passed by a thousand words a day, but now there are not three or four thousand words a day, so the other party will immediately send someone to urge him.
"You know my mother's temper, how dare I persuade her?" Xue Shao mentioned that his mother was also afraid. When he saw Princess Chengyang, he was like a mouse or a cat, and he didn't even dare to say anything more.
Zhang Zong also knew Xue Shao's difficulties, but at this time he had an idea, so he slapped his hands excitedly and said, "Come on, let's get on the carriage, you take me to pick up things, and you should be able to divert the eldest princess' attention by then!"
"What's the matter? Could it be mahjong or something?" Xue Shao asked curiously.
