Chapter 7 Section VII

Picking an auspicious day for the long trip, I loaded the luggage into the car on the first day, and I was busy until dusk came to an end.Mrs. Gong called the door in and had something to say. "My master is leaving tomorrow, and I won't go out today. I have already said goodbye to the dinner. If someone comes to invite you temporarily, you don't need to return it. Just say thank you." "Yes." The door turned to leave. "Come back! I still have something to say." Mrs. Gong said, "From tomorrow onwards, if you have anything to do, you must first ask Master Wen for instructions, and you are not allowed to make your own decisions!"

After explaining, Mrs. Gong cooked a lot of dishes for her husband as a farewell party.But at the couple's departure banquet, there was a foreign guest, and it was not easy to arrange the seats. Liang Dingfen wanted to invite the "third brother" to sit up, but Wen Tingshi said that it was a farewell party for Liang Dingfen, and he was an accompanying guest, so he could only sit beside him. "Every day I eat, my third brother sits on it. Today's situation is different, so don't be polite!" Because of Mrs. Gong's words, she was able to sit down.Liang Dingfen was in the middle and facing south, accompanied by Wen Tingshi and Mrs. Gong.Both of them have something to say, but Lichou's throat was blocked, and they both found it difficult to speak, and they didn't have the interest to speak until they had a few glasses of wine.

"Xinghai, there is a saying that has been on my mind for a long time, and I have to say it today. You engraved the "dismissed from office at the age of 27" chapter, as if you have never left the mountain. This idea is bad! " Liang Dingfen smiled helplessly, "What if it's not like this?" He asked, "Could it be that we are going to compete for a job, or weep bitterly?" There was anger in the words, and Wen Tingshi shook his head even more: "Xinghai, when you encounter this kind of place, when you see self-cultivation, sometimes you pretend to be hesitant, but show a resentful attitude. You'd better keep flowing and pay for it." Calm attitude."

"I've always been like this." Liang Dingfen said, "'Looking at other people with white eyes' is my old way, and I don't need to change him. Could it be that a strict decree really taught me a lesson, even my temper has changed." Seeing that the conversation between the two seemed out of place, Mrs. Gong came to interrupt, "Liang Shun, you are reliable, but there is one thing that is not good. The words are contrary to his name, and they are not harmonious." She sighed and said: "You He has a quick temper, and the master and servant look like they came out of the same mold, so I really can't be at ease."

"It doesn't matter." Liang Dingfen comforted her and said, "I will always remember your words, just don't get angry with him." "Write a letter when you arrive in Tianjin." Mrs. Gong said again, "The sea boat is rough, so be careful." "I slept as soon as I got on the boat, and I slept in Shanghai." "Foreigners have a medicine for seasickness, which is very effective. You might as well try it." "Oh," Liang Dingfen asked, "what's your name?" "I can't tell you the name of the medicine." Wen Tingshi said, "When you arrive in Tianjin, you might as well live in the Fozhaolou in Zizhulin. The inn is clean and the people are not crowded. You can ask the guy there, he knows the medicine. "

"okay, I get it." "I have something to ask you." Wen Tingshi put down his chopsticks and leaned his elbows on the table, looking very solemn, "As soon as you arrive in Tianjin, Beiyang Yamen will know..." "So what if I know?" Liang Dingfen said angrily, "Can I still be 'deported'?" "Look at you!" Mrs. Gong complained to him, "Third brother hasn't finished talking yet, you're so anxious!" "By the way, you have to listen to what I have to say first. I mean, the Beiyang yamen knows that you are going to Tianjin, so of course they will do their best to be a landlord. Do you accept it or not?"

"No!" Liang Dingfen replied decisively. "Where is Li Xiangzhi's gift to Cheng Yi?" "No!" "Would you like to invite you to dinner in the next post?" "Not accepted either!" "He came to pay homage to you in the inn?" This makes it impossible to say the word "stop driving".Liang Dingfen shook his head: "No way! Why should he condescend to see me, a degraded seventh-rank official? " "'The Prime Minister's belly is so good to punting', if there is such a move?" Liang Dingfen was deeply distressed by Wen Tingshi's forced questioning, but after thinking about it calmly, it was not difficult to answer: "He is Daoguang Dingwei, and I am Guangxu Gengchen." Fen, "There are four dynasties, separated by fifteen subjects. Thirteen subjects used to be called 'Old Seniors', and I only treat him with the etiquette of Hanyuan."

"You really figured it out!" Wen Tingshi clapped his palms and smiled, looking extremely relieved, and then said seriously: "Xinghai, why am I being aggressive and have to ask for a result? I just hope you know the way to respond. My aspirations are all over the world, and if there is a little bit of grievance, it's okay." "Yes," Mrs. Gong chimed in, "Your temper is too biased and stubborn, so you always listen to third brother's persuasion. If you lose money, it's cheap." After Mrs. Gong finished speaking, Wen Tingshi said again, and the two of them urged him again, just to persuade him to be wise and protect himself, and take care of himself.Liang Dingfen couldn't help but accept the affection of his beloved wife and good friend, but for some reason, he felt more and more that he was on the outside, as if he was listening to the advice of his friends and his wife.
