Chapter 162 Ma Dongyang can't do it

Chapter 162: Ma Dongyang is not able to do anything

I lost!

Since he failed to Tang Cheng in the impromptu poems in Yunxi County that day, Liu Suifeng has paid great attention to this one-year appointment; after that, after the Liyuan Wenshu Association, Liu Suifeng has become more and more careful. Although today's day is ordinary for Tang Cheng, he attaches great importance to him.

As the grandson of Liu Xiyi, a famous poet in the early Tang Dynasty, Liu Suifeng, who was extremely smart and hardworking, was outstanding since childhood. He was confused at the age of five, studied poetry at the age of seven, and had no stagnation in his conception when he was nine. At the age of fifteen, he was shocked by the poem "Ode to Return to Hong" and was praised by the Jinzhou literary world as the first generation. He never failed to meet poetry and prose with students of the same age.

The one who caused him to suffer defeat and was the Tang Cheng in front of him.

For this day, Liu Suifeng prepared for a year. When he came to burn incense and bathe, he heard this sentence: "I lost!"

Before he had even competed, Tang Cheng had already admitted defeat. Liu Suifeng was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He did not have the joy of victory he had expected in his heart, but was empty.

Liu Suifeng had not spoken yet, but Zhang Xiangwen on the side stopped doing it, "Brother, you can't be timid if you are a man. How can you admit defeat? Compare with him."

What to compare? After all, I have known each other for so long, and the two even have a friendship with each other. Tang Cheng knew very well that Liu Suifeng was not only very talented, but also willing to work hard. From a literary perspective, if he had not had the rigid advantage of time travelers, he would have been incomparable to him.

Although the two of them started to practice painting almost at the same time, as early as Yunxi, he had been faster than his own. After that, he went to Jinzhou and wasted some days because of his trip to Yangzhou. Even though he picked it up again with Mr. Yan, he had never stopped working on the road construction these days, even following Lao Yan's instructions. However, the time for practicing for an hour every day was indeed a big discount, and sometimes he could only squeeze out three or two incense sticks. Even if he didn't say this, after Lao Yan over the past few months, he taught and said that he was just copying the basic skills of his basic skills, and he didn't even mention the color rating. In short, Tang Cheng is still working on the basic skills in practicing painting, and he is not even proficient in color. Compare? What can he compare?

In addition, after last year's trip to Yangzhou and the major road construction work in front of him, Tang Cheng, who had a broad vision and mind, was no longer so concerned about the painting itself. No matter how he looked at the matter in front of him, he was a bit like a child fighting spirit.

"Just because he is a man, he must admit it openly when he should give in." Tang Cheng waved his hand to stop Zhang Xiangwen's clamor, and looked at Liu Suifeng again and said seriously: "I lost!".

When Tang Cheng said these three words calmly, he thought of the scene of Liu Suifeng giving in public the first two times.

People treat me with a gentleman. I will answer it with a gentleman!

If Liu Suifeng's calm conceit is because of pride, then I have your pride too!

Liu Suifeng quietly looked at the serious look of Tang Cheng, then looked up at the bright and clear sky, "Tang Cheng. You didn't disappoint me." After saying this inexplicable sentence, Liu Suifeng did not stop and turned around and walked outside.

Since Liu Suifeng came in, no one else except Tang Cheng looked at him. At this time, he said such a coquettish word and turned around and left. How could Zhang Xiangwen bear his "superior" spirit? "If my elder brother wasn't busy building roads and really didn't have time to practice bird painting, would he lose to you? Hey, Liu Di, don't think you won today, it would be 'winning'. Do you know what this word means? That's because my elder brother saw you lose so much that he told you..."

The white-clothed Shengxue, who had just walked out of the second entrance, was fixed.

"Second brother, if you lose, you lose, you have to admit it." Tang Cheng interrupted Zhang Xiangwen with an insult, "If you lose, you have to find excuses. This is a cowardly man."

"A man surnamed Liu, I didn't hear this. This is a real man." Zhang Xiangwen has the nature of Zhang Xiangwen, and he repeatedly ignored Liu Suifeng. Zhang Xiangwen's self-esteem was really severely damaged. Therefore, he was not moved by Tang Chengdi's eyes and continued to sneer: "At best, your painting is just painted on paper. In addition to hanging it on the wall as wallpaper, it also has a bird egg. My elder brother used Jinzhou as a scroll and used hundreds of people as a brush to paint a "Jinzhou Road Map". After this painting is completed, the 200,000 descendants of Jinzhou will benefit. What are you going to compare?"

Seeing that he could not stop him from speaking except blocking Zhang Xiangwen's mouth, Tang Cheng reached out and pulled him and was about to walk into the inner courtyard. At least he could not really block Zhang Xiangwen's mouth in front of Feng Haizhou, especially Liu Suifeng. He knew this second brother very well. Although he was laughing and laughing all day long, he was not indifferent at all, especially his arrogance in his bones was no less than that of himself and Liu Suifeng.

Although he is a sworn brother, although he is the eldest brother, and although Zhang Xiangwen has always obeyed him, Tang Cheng clearly understood from beginning to end that all this was based on respect. Once this was missing, although the two brothers would not turn against each other, they would definitely go further and further away.

Tang Cheng was just pulling Zhang Xiangwen to walk back, but suddenly he saw Liu Suifeng stopping at the gate of the yard and suddenly turned around and walked towards him.

"This is my own business, brother, please let go!" Zhang Xiangwen broke free from Tang Cheng and looked at Liu Suifeng who was getting closer and closer: "I have a little skill in writing and ink, and I have wanted to compete with him since last year, but now I can finally get what I want."

It was messy, it was all chaotic. Zhang Xiangwen was as excited as he was injected with chicken blood. Liu Suifeng was getting closer and closer. Faced with such a scene, Tang Cheng simply stepped back and stood there. If he loved anyone, since he wanted to fight, then just beat him. Anyway, this world would not be able to kill anyone, at most he would just be bruised and swollen.

Both of them are both donkeys and have never suffered any losses. They pinch them as soon as they meet, and their noses and faces are bruised and swollen, which may be a good thing for them. They can only spend more time in the future.

At this moment, Liu Suifeng, who had turned back from the door, had already walked to Zhang Xiangwen.

"How is it! You can't pretend this time, face to face, okay, see clearly, I'm Zhang Xiangwen." Zhang Xiangwen, who laughed, stretched out his hand and waved to Liu Suifeng, "Come on, let you take action first."

Liu Suifeng looked at Zhang Xiangwen's tolerance suit and smiled faintly, "Looking at your vulgar words, I guess I don't know that the Master has six arts." As soon as he finished speaking, he had already stretched out his fist and hit Zhang Xiangwen in front of him.

Liu Suifeng's punch came slowly, with obvious traces. Obviously he didn't want to attack and take advantage of it. After Zhang Xiangwenge blocked it, the two of them started fighting back and forth.

"Haizhou, don't pull it, let them fight." Tang Cheng grabbed Feng Haizhou, who was about to go forward to persuade him to fight, and turned around to Li Yingwan and Lancao, who had walked out quickly after hearing the sound, and said, "Prepare the medicinal wine, by the way. Come over with two more cups of tea."

"Sit", after Tang Cheng pressed Feng Haizhou on the stone table, he seemed to be the two people in the fight with great pleasure. He thought that Zhang Xiangwen was active and had been doing so for such a long time to do the tolerance. He must have gained the upper hand. Who knew that the scene at this time was unexpected. Although Zhang Xiangwen was a little more flexible, Liu Suifeng was not bad at all in terms of physical fitness. The two of them fought back and forth without any difference.

Six Arts! Thinking of Liu Suifeng’s words just now, Tang Cheng understood. With Liu Suifeng’s usual practice of poetry and books, he did not even pull down the harsh and squirm in the Six Arts, thus creating a solid foundation of the body.

Li Yingwan personally sent the tea tray over, looking at the scene in front of her was worried, "Acheng, this..."

"It's okay. Don't worry," Tang Cheng turned around and patted Li Yingwan's hand in comfort, "These two of them still have the character of children, maybe they will get better after fighting."

At first, both of them were strong enough, and they were both straight and stern. After Tang Cheng finished drinking a cup of tea, the two men who had exhausted their strength not only shouted less, but also had no rules for the punches and feet. They hugged each other like children fighting and rolled around on the ground. Their faces were not satisfactory after this fight.

The elegant and elegant Liu Suifeng darkened his left circle, but Zhang Xiangwen was not good either. His right circle was also blue and black, and the tolerance suit, which was already covered in dust, could no longer be seen in color, and Liu Suifeng was as beautiful as the snow-white clothes.

After a while, the two of them had a tie. In the end, Liu Suifeng and Zhang Xiangwen were completely exhausted and rolled on the ground. No one could do anything about anyone's panting.

After this time, Tang Cheng finally stood up and said, "The fight is done, it's time to go down." As he said, he and Feng Haizhou walked up to each other, separated the two of them from the left and right.

Tang Cheng always saw that Liu Suifeng was spotless and suave. He pulled him up and looked at the black-eyed chicken with a blue nose and swollen face. He curled his lips and wanted to laugh. Although he could barely hold it back in the end, his face turned strange since then.

On the other side, Zhang Xiangwen was helping her to the ground by Feng Haizhou, but she couldn't see Tang Cheng's strange appearance. "Brother, just want to laugh, don't be so disgusting." As soon as he finished speaking, he took a sip, but because what he said just now touched the injuries on his face.

"Just rest for you," Tang Cheng threw over and helped Liu Suifeng to the stone table and sat down, pushed the medicinal wine that had been prepared long ago and said, "Young Brother Liu came to me today. After all, this is my family again. I'm really sorry for something like this..."

"If I don't want to fight him, I can't fight no matter how loud he shouts." In this way, Liu Suifeng raised his head and looked at Tang Cheng, "Of course, I won't let Brother Tang sit on the mountain and watch the tiger watch the fun."

"This, this..." Tang Cheng had a rare time like this. Seeing him like this, Liu Suifeng, who had a bruised nose and swollen face, smiled, "This is a matter between me. Brother Tang, what's wrong with you? I want to thank him."

Not only Tang Cheng said this, even Zhang Xiangwen, who was sitting next to him, was stunned and turned his head to look at Liu Suifeng in shock.

"What we scholars have sought in our lives is just the four words "cultivating all our might and governing peace". The others are really a little bit of a path. Compared with Brother Tang's busy recent "The Road Map of Jinzhou" I am now superficial." When Liu Suifeng said this, the panda's eyes shone brightly, "Brother Tang, I want to make another appointment with you in Chang'an."

"Chang'an?".

"Yes, Chang'an! The Ministry of Rites in the Imperial City will decide the victory and defeat on the field. From then on, the Ministry of Personnel will select and pacify the people. Let's see who can better live in the rivers and waters under the rule of the country." Speaking of this, the light Liu Suifeng's voice has always been rising and higher, "Tang Cheng, do you dare to compete with me?"

"Oh, Brother Liu is going to compare this." Looking at Liu Suifeng's face was full of energy and excited, Tang Cheng suddenly burst into his chest with a sense of pride. He immediately slapped the stone hard and said, "I've agreed!"

"Okay!" Liu Suifeng slapped the stones the same time, and suddenly turned his head to look at Zhang Xiangwen opposite him, "Do you dare to come?"

"Me?" Zhang Xiangwen was stunned and said, "Come on, grandson dare not!"

"A man has a promise of a thousand gold." After laughing and saying this, Liu Suifeng did not use medicinal wine, so he stood up and walked out. While walking, he still laughed loudly and said loudly: "A good man has been determined to be a governor of Shen throughout his life, and to plan the skills of emperors. He strives for his intelligence and is willing to be a supporter. He will make the world clear and the Haixian County clear. The way of serving the king is completed, and the righteousness of honoring relatives is completed. Then he will float with Tao Zhu and Liu Hou on the five lakes. He will play in Cangzhou. At this point in life, what else can he ask for? Have fun, and have fun!"

Amid the laughter and singing, Liu Suifeng walked away, not caring about the bruised and swollen face on his face, not caring about the dusty robe. At this moment, this man who looked at the proud and calm person burst out with a bold spirit that Tang Cheng had unexpectedly seen. Looking at his floating figure, listening to his voice and expressing his life's ambitions, Tang Cheng didn't say a word, but his heart felt really excited.

This is true for a good man, he endured all kinds of hardships and established his life ambition! He went through hardships but did not change. He was not moved by the axe but did not change. Even if he died nine times, he still did not regret it!

Just as Liu Suifeng finished his voice, Zhang Xiangwen praised: "Liu Suifeng. You have said everything in my heart! If you don't fight, you won't know each other, I've made friends with you!"

The only response to him was Liu Suifeng's singing and laughter gradually moving away.

If you have a disagreement, you will pull your fists to face each other; if you are in the same aspirations, you will have a broad life and ambition, and make a hundred-year agreement. A man should be like this, and a young man should be like this!

The "contracting" system formulated by Tang Cheng was quickly implemented, and the big pot of rice was broken. Stimulated by the more work and more fruitful things, the atmosphere on the entire road construction site changed. There were fewer chats and quarrels, but the voices of "Hangshi Hangshi" suddenly increased. Those teams of fifty people burst out with unprecedented enthusiasm. Now they do more work in a day than in the past two days. There are even a few teams who actually do three times the amount of work in a day, which is correspondingly their wages are also doubled.

Just because of the changes in the distribution method, the road construction progress has been greatly improved. After the four technical officials from the Ministry of Works came to see the huge changes before and after inexplicably, Tang Cheng, who came to patrol the quality of the road, finally had an unprecedented sincerity intimacy. Tang Cheng accepted this intimacy very happily. Good guy, after spending so much effort in front of them, these people are always lukewarm, and now they have finally truly accepted and recognized him.

It was also after this time that when Feng Haizhou executed Tang Cheng's instructions again, even if the instructions were contrary to his common sense, he would immediately obey them and not ask: "Sir, is this OK?"

After the previous fight with Liu Suifeng, Zhang Xiangwen quietly changed some things. Although the tricks have not changed, he has become more serious and persistent in doing things than before. After finishing business every day, he no longer traveled around the streets to find the fun and join in the fun. Instead, he picked up the book of the law and read it.

One night, he accidentally witnessed Zhang Xiangwen holding the thick "Tang Dynasty Law Commentary" fighting at night. The shocking scene in front of him almost made Tang Cheng cry. Since taking over the task assigned by Sima Zhang Zishan that day, from last year to now, he has been trying hard to persuade Zhang Xiangwen to do his best. He didn't know how much talk, how much effort he spent, but there was no effect at all. However, he didn't expect that the fight would wake up the sworn brother.

Oh my god, the earth, you finally opened your eyes!

That morning, Tang Cheng, who had just woken up, was crawling on Li Yingwan's belly piously and listening to the fetus moving, and the girl outside knocked on the door.

Hearing the sound, Tang Cheng didn't move, and still pressed his ears tightly against Li Yingwan's increasingly bulging belly.

Just as Lancao opened the door, a "ah" scream suddenly came from behind, and Lancao's hand holding the door frame was frightened. When she turned her head, Tang Cheng suddenly turned out of the quilt. He said in surprise: "It's moving, Yingwan, he's moving, my son beat me."

Tang Cheng has developed the habit of sleeping naked since his later years. This habit has not been changed until now. At this moment, he turned over in surprise and immediately exposed his whole body naked outside. Li Yingwan and Lancao were nothing. The little girl who had just entered the door suddenly saw this scene, her eyes flashed like an electric shock, and her face was as smear as a big red cloth. She didn't know where to put her hands.

Seeing this scene, Li Yingwan, who was also surprised, reacted first, "Acheng..."

"You really moved, don't you believe Yingwan?" Although he was a human being in two lives, he had never been a father. For the first time in his life, Tang Cheng, who was immersed in excitement, had not yet reacted from the surprise. He thought that Li Yingwan didn't believe that the child was really moved, so he pointed his left face with his finger and said, "Here, he is here to hit the ground, numb, hehe. This little guy is quite energetic."

Looking at Tang Cheng, who was gesturing in his hands and laughing foolishly on his face, Li Yingwan, who was already in surprise, couldn't help laughing out loud. While laughing, she had reached out to lift the quilt to cover Tang Cheng, turned her head and asked to the girl, "What's the matter, so urgent?"

"The second master is here, I want to invite the high-ranking official." The little girl didn't dare to look up when she replied, "The second master said something happened in the road construction site."

"What, something happened on the road?" Li Yingwan asked again with a blanket. Tang Cheng finally woke up. After hearing the little girl's reply, he pressed his ear back just now and suddenly sat up, "Orchid. Get the water."

Let's get dressed and wash it up quickly. Tang Chengzhong, who had already reached the door, turned back to the edge of the bed.

"What's wrong?" As soon as Li Yingwan asked, she saw Tang Cheng beside the bed leaning over and kissing her, "Son, Dad is going to work, you're good at home!"

Feeling the dampness and heat in her stomach, and hearing Tang Cheng's words, Li Yingwan suddenly felt her chest rushing backwards. This breath kept rushing to her nose, and then her nose became sore, and then to the corner of her eyes. Then, the mist condensed into crystal clearness. When Tang Cheng stood up and kissed her cheek gently, then turned away, the inexplicable tears finally couldn't help but slip.

"What's the matter?" After leaving the inner courtyard, Tang Cheng asked directly to Zhang Xiangwen who was waiting at the gate of the courtyard.

"Brother, look at this." Zhang Xiangwen handed over the official document and scolded fiercely: "The old horse is looking for trouble again."

Tang Cheng took the document and saw that the content above was to ask the counties in the state to start recruiting corvee labor from now on to renovate the Han River embankment. There are three particularly eye-catching points in this document: the first is the comprehensive recruitment; the second is that the corvee labor recruited by each county must be adults and strong, and the elderly, weak women and children must not be perfunctory to the elderly, weak, women and children; the third is that the time for the recruitment is set to gather within half a month.

"The Han River embankment was only majorly renovated last year, and today it is going to be repaired. Why do you need so many people?" Zhang Xiangwen pointed to the official and said, "Brother, look at the contents on this, everything is for us. With this recruitment, now all the people in the road construction site have to go back to do corvee service and do some bird egg work!"

"Well, don't worry, the one with the signature on it is Ma Dongyang. Although this matter is under his jurisdiction, he still has a Yao envoy on his charge." At this point, Tang Cheng collected the official document and said, "Let's go and find Lao Yao. Now I don't worry, he has to worry."

At this time, an old man in the villa was also looking at the official document. Because he was old and dazzled, the old man who was like an orange peel had brought the official document to a place very close to him, he still couldn't see it clearly.

In the end, the old man had no choice but to hand the official document to the underground people around him to "read".

After listening to the official document word by word, the old man leaned against the couch and closed his eyes, "Go and call Ma Dongyang to see me."

This is the first time since he heard him call his son-in-law by calling him the name of his son-in-law in the past ten years since he was stunned and went to the death.

When Ma Don't Drive came in, he looked impatient. Since he failed to take office after he left, Lao Ma has no longer had the respect for this old and immortal father-in-law. "My father-in-law, the son-in-law is still in a hurry to come to the yamen. If you have any questions, please tell me quickly."

Seeing Ma Dongyang like this, the old man who had been sitting up from the couch slowly leaned down again, pointing at the official document with his thin fingers tremblingly, saying, "Is this your idea?"

"Yes," Ma Dongyang nodded, "My father-in-law is old, so don't worry too much about these small things in the Jinzhou Prefecture yamen. It's important to take care of your health."

When the old man heard this, he raised his head and looked at Ma Dongyang with his already turbid eyes for a long time, and waved his hand, "You go."

I was called in early morning for this matter, but the official document did not contain my signature and seal! "I'm so confused." When I walked out of the room, I didn't spit.

After watching Ma Dongyang leave the room, the old man murmured to himself: "Idiot!" After talking to himself, he waved to his subordinates again, "Go and invite the lady."

"Dad, what are you asking me for?"

"Come on, sit next to my father." The old man leaning on the couch looked at Mrs. Ma with a kind face and said softly: "Lingyue, you and Ma Dongyang are 'alive'."

Mrs. Ma never expected that the old man would say this, "Dad, what are you talking about?"

"The thing that my father regrets the most in his life is that he shouldn't be soft-hearted that day, and he will be allowed to have your marriage with Ma Dongyang." The old man's words were full of desolation, "Golden jade outside, and scattered inside. I thought Ma Dongyang was just a traitor and unconscious, but I didn't know that he was so stupid. Ling Yue, Dad can't live much longer. Once his father dies, something will happen to Ma Dongyang. What will you do then?"

Mrs. Ma Ling Yue knew his father's ability since childhood, so she didn't ask him what happened to him and how he knew the news. She just said with red eyes that she didn't want to "get along".

The atmosphere in the room was very silent for a while. After a long time, the old man who sighed again patted his daughter's hand, "Don't reunited, don't reunited, Ling Yue, please pack up. Ma Dongyang is so incredible, but this may protect you from the rest of your life."
Chapter completed!
