Chapter 86 Chapter 2 Heroes also have demos, heroes are inevitably snobbish

One day after January, Shi En and Wu Song were sitting and talking in the shop.Zhang Mengfang, the supervisor of the soldiers and horses of Mengzhou, sent someone to invite Wu Song.Zhang Dujian said to Wu Song: "I heard that you are a man, a man, an invincible hero, who dares to die and live with others. I don't have a single person in front of my tent. I don't know if you are willing to be my companion? " Wu Song knelt down and thanked him: "The villain is a prisoner in a prison camp; if you are favored by your kindness, you should serve your kindness with a whip and a stirrup."

Once again, we saw Wu Song's adult "miniature". Yes, Wu Song is an adult, a hero, a hero, and a hero. However, he often reveals his "small face": some flattery, some fawning, some fawning, some slavish, some obsequious... To put it more pleasantly, he takes the soft but not the hard, and knows how to be grateful. To put it bluntly, whenever he encounters power, whenever he encounters power and gives him a little color, he will immediately feel grateful and wish he could repay him wholeheartedly. A little appreciation from the magistrate of Yanggu County, and he was promoted to be a capital, so he was very grateful to the magistrate, and sent bribes to Tokyo for the magistrate, doing his best.

Shi En's father and son had a few drinks and dinners, and a few flattering words, which made him immediately refine his steel and turn it into soft fingers, and he was willing to be someone's thug. Now, Zhang Dujian asked him to be a personal entourage under the tent. To put it bluntly, he was a bodyguard. He called himself a villain and a prisoner in gratitude, and immediately confessed his loyalty and wanted to hold the whip and stirrup for him. The waiter behind the saddle... No matter how great a hero you are, as long as you have no official position, no matter how small a sesame seed official you meet, you will be discouraged immediately, you will be deflated immediately, and the hero will immediately become a bear...

Wu Song can beat tigers, and the person who can beat tigers with bare hands is a hero among men, right? However, as soon as he met a small county magistrate in the system, a small warden, and a prisoner, he immediately became three feet shorter. "Three-inch Dinggu bark". This is another form of "tyranny is fiercer than a tiger"! From then on, Wu Song stayed at Zhang Dujian's house.Sooner or later, the supervisor kept calling Wu Song into the back hall to have wine and food, and let him go into the house and enter the house, treating him like a relative; he also asked the tailor to make autumn clothes with Wu Song from inside to outside.

Food, clothing and housing are all taken care of. Because Zhang Dujian saw love, some people began to follow him. Zhang Dujian really gave Wu Song face, and Wu Song would obey all the requests of Dujian Xianggong.Wu Song became everyone's recognized celebrity in Zhang Dujian, so outsiders began to curry favor with him, giving him gold, silver, money, and horses.Wu Song bought a willow and rattan box and locked all the gifts in it, so he could get a share of the system again. This willow and rattan box was probably the first piece of furniture in Wu Song's life. He was slowly accumulating his family property, and he was short of a wife.

It is true that a villain often succeeds, but a villain will never be blessed. Time flies, but it is early Mid-Autumn Festival in August.Zhang Dujian even let Wu Song attend his Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet like a family member.When he got drunk, Zhang Dujian shouted, "Why do you use a small cup for a man to drink?" He asked the big bell to pour the wine, and persuaded Wu Song with arrows for several minutes.Wu Song was half-drunk, forgot the etiquette, and just drank heavily. Zhang Dujian called a beloved adoptive mother named Yulan to come out and sing.Zhang Dujian said to Yulan: "There are no outsiders here, only Wudutou, my confidant, is here. You can sing a song about the Mid-Autumn Festival and the moon, and teach us to listen to it." Magnolia sings a Dongpo Bachelor's "Mid-Autumn Water Tune Song": When will the bright moon appear, ask the blue sky for wine.I don't know the palace in the sky, what year is this eve.Wu Song really doesn't know what is going on today, let alone who he is facing today!

In fact, the author arranged for Yulan to sing Dongpo's "Water Tune Getou Mid-Autumn Ci" on such a special occasion, which is not a work for the occasion.This poem is written by Su Dongpo in memory of his younger brother Su Zhe on the Mid-Autumn Festival night.The last two sentences are to hope that although he and his younger brother Su Zhe can't get together often, they will be separated forever, "I hope we will live together for a long time." This is a masterpiece about Mid-Autumn Festival and brotherhood.It's a pity that Wu Song and his elder brother Wu Da are separated from each other!

The author writes the deep sorrow and pain in the characters' hearts in a calm manner, points out the sadness behind the joy and prosperity, and arouses the readers' infinite sympathy for Wu Song's life experience. After singing, Zhang Dujian asked Yulan to toast Wu Song with a glass of wine. Zhang Dujian pointed to Yulan and said to Wu Song: "This woman is quite smart. She is not only good at knowing the rhythm, but also very good at pointing fingers. If you are not too humble, I will choose a good time in a few days, and I will be your wife in the future." room."

The lady wants to have it too! Wu Song was so grateful that he stood up and bowed again, saying: "How can a person who is a villain dare to look at the family of his benefactor as his wife. He broke Wu Song's fodder in vain!" Why are we so familiar with these words? That's right, at the beginning, Shi En's father wanted Shi En to worship Wu Song as his brother, and Wu Song was also terrified, saying, "I broke Wu Song's fodder in vain." Now, Zhang Dujian wanted to marry his adoptive mother to Wu Song, and Wu Song said, " In vain, I broke Wu Song's fodder."

What kind of heroes are but fodder in front of these officials. But in all fairness, Zhang Dujian's performance up to now is indeed very respectable.He is also really good to Wu Song, not only caring about his life, but also respecting Wu Song very much, which is very rare.He was also worried about his marriage, which was really touching for Wu Song, who lost his parents early and lost his only family member and elder brother not long ago.Moreover, judging from Zhang Dujian's performance tonight, he is a very forthright and temperamental person. It is enough to have a confidant in life. From Wu Song's point of view, if Zhang Dujian really respects and cares about him so much, there is nothing wrong with him being so heartbroken for Zhang Dujian.A good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a talented person chooses a master to work.People treat me sincerely, and I will reciprocate sincerely.Inappropriate!

On the other hand, from Zhang Dujian's point of view, Zhang Dujian treated Wu Song in this way and won Wu Song's utter loyalty, which is also a good result.How can a first-class talent like Wu Song be recruited casually?Can only rely on luck.Now, it is almost a godsend to send him a first-class master nationwide. From his official position, he has obtained a first-class general without any effort; From a point of view, for such a person to be his personal bodyguard, for Wu Song, of course, it is inferior, and for the country, it is of course a waste. For him, isn't it a great luxury! Sima Qian once said with emotion, "When a scholar is in danger, he is easy to hear!" It means that when a person is in trouble, it is easy to make friends with him.Because at this time, he needs the most care and respect, and he doesn't ask too much, a little care and favor can gain his gratitude, thus gain his friendship and loyalty. If Zhang Dujian had gained the loyalty of a first-class expert like Wu Song through care and respect at such a time, wouldn't it be his most successful business deal!Unfortunately, he was not so lucky.Because he has no such realm. We say that the villain does often succeed, but the villain will never be blessed.
