Chapter 14: Family Training
The "eight-person sedan chair" of the servants sent Master Zhang Tian back to Jiyuan like a pig.The team walked all the way back from the Dongxi Ferry. People in the fields, mountains and forests put down their farm work one after another, stopped to watch with great interest, then smiled and said honestly: Master Zhang really knows how to play.
The team arrived in the village.A group of children ran out from their homes, joined in the fun and helped to promote: "Come and see, the young master of the Zhang family is on the pig rack and will be sold!" The girls gathered together very shyly, watching and laughing generously, and then whispered: "Look, Master Zhang, it's really interesting, he is a scholar, but he likes to play around, it's unbearable. Lovely again."
After wasting all their efforts, the eight servants finally carried Master Zhang Tian back home.The Zhang family's mansion is in the countryside, although it is not as luxurious as the official residences in Jianzhou City, Zhang's residence is considered one of the best mansions in Jiyuan and even in Beiyuan area, much larger than those expensive official residences in the city .
When Zhang Tian was carried into the house, his father was already sitting in the front hall, waiting impatiently.
"Master, we sent the young master back, this bundle of rope?" the servant asked.
"Just leave it like this for now, and you can do other things." Zhang Liang ordered.
Zhang Tian cried and shouted all the way, his mouth was dry and his throat was hoarse.At this time, his body was still bound by the rope, and he could not move, so he shouted at Li Kuan:
"Ah Kuan, I'm thirsty, bring me a mug of herbal tea."
"Yes, sir."
Li Kuan responded, and was about to go to serve the pot to pour tea, but saw the old man staring at him angrily, so he stopped and obediently stood aside.
Zhang Liang focused his eyes on Zhang Tian again, but he saw that Zhang Tian, who was in a state of turmoil, closed his eyes, lying on the ground pretending to be asleep, completely ignoring the old man's face.Zhang Liang suppressed the anger in his heart temporarily, and asked:
"Run away from home? How about it? Do you still want to leave?"
"I think about it, of course I think about it. After all, I don't belong to this small place. Unlike you, Daddy, I am a person with great ambitions." Zhang Tian argued, still closing his eyes tightly.
"You, your wings are stiff, you want to fly, right? Let me see how you fly now." Zhang Liang saw that Zhang Tian was still stubborn, and continued to taunt: "If you want to leave, you should show me one now!"
"Let's go!" Zhang Tian's eyes widened in an instant. Lying on the ground, he bent his knees and spun around, first walked counterclockwise, then clockwise, and continued to choke: "Daddy!" Look, I'm back here again."
Zhang Liang was so angry that he couldn't help but want to do something anymore, and shouted to Li Kuan:
"Go and bring me the guy. This bastard is really thick-skinned and needs to be beaten. I must beat him to death today."
"But, master..." Li Kuan looked embarrassed.
"But what! Go!"
"Oh, yes, sir, I'll get it now."
Zhang Tian realized that if he didn't ask for help, his flesh and blood would really be torn apart this time, so he shouted for help:
"Mother, help! Grandpa, help!"
At this time, Li Kuan took his time and handed over a solid wooden feather duster to the old man.
"I see that you still dare to speak hard, run away from home, and say something with great ambitions."
"No, Daddy, that's a solid wooden duster. My dear Daddy, I won't leave, I really won't."
"It's useless to call it now."
As Zhang Liang said, the feather duster in his hand was lifted high, and then fell heavily on Zhang Tian's butt in a stiff arc.
"what!"
A heart-wrenching scream resounded through the entire Zhang residence. Li Kuan covered his face and couldn't bear to look directly.
While pretending to be pitiful, Zhang Tian winked at Li Kuan for help.
"Master, stop beating, it will be bad if you disturb the old man!" Li Kuan stretched out his hands and grabbed the feather duster in Zhang Liang's hand.
"Fuck you! I will break his leg today!"
Zhang Liang pushed Li Kuan away, and held up the feather duster again, seeing that Zhang Tian's butt was about to bloom for the second time.At this moment, a thick and powerful voice came from the backyard:
"Stop! I want to see who dares to break my precious grandson's leg!"
When the thick and powerful voice came, Zhang Liang immediately froze down. The feather duster in his hand seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, and lost its vitality in an instant.
In the direction where the voice came from, a white-haired old man leaned on a cane and walked from the backyard to the front hall with the help of a woman.The old man kept a straight face, which looked much uglier than Zhang Liang's.
"Father, why did you come out? You should lie down and rest more." Zhang Liang hurried over and helped the old man with the woman.
"Grandpa, mother, it hurts, my butt, my butt is probably torn apart, please help me." Zhang Tian said, about to cry.It turned out that the old man was the old man of the Zhang family, and the lady was Zhang Tian's mother, Mrs. Zhang.
"Good grandson, don't be afraid, with grandpa here, I'll see who dares to touch a hair of yours!" The old man pushed Zhang Liang beside him with difficulty, and angrily said, "I'm not dead yet, I'm still the master of this family!"
"Father, look at what you're talking about, you might as well scold me directly." Zhang Liang said aggrievedly.
"Do you think I dare not scold you, I still want to beat you!" The old man said, raised his crutches and hit Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang dodged in time and was spared.
"Father, calm down, calm down, you are right, you are the head of the family, you sit down first, let's talk well, talk well." Zhang Liang repeatedly comforted, seeing that the old man's emotions were not so excited, So he approached the old man again and helped him to sit on the right seat in the front hall.
The old man was sitting upright, while Zhang Liang and Mrs. Zhang stood aside.The old lady glared at Zhang Liang and said:
"Hurry up and untie the rope, do you want me to do it myself?"
Zhang Liang's face was tangled, and he seemed extremely reluctant, so he ordered Li Kuan:
"Go, go, untie your young master."
Li Kuan immediately ran to Zhang Tian's side.
The old man glared at Zhang Liang again, and said:
"I told you to loosen the rope, but you act as a master in front of me and stand aside to make room for my precious grandson." As he spoke, he waved to Zhang Tian and called, "Every day, sit down until Grandpa Come to the side and tell grandpa how this guy bullied you."
"Okay, grandpa!" Zhang Tian responded.
Li Kuan's hands and feet were numb, and it took him a long time to untie the rope that was tied to Zhang Tian's body.
"Ah Kuan, you are so stupid, help me quickly and go to my grandfather's place, hey!" Zhang Tian stood up, with one hand on Li Kuan's shoulder and the other on his own. Ass, walking hard.
The two cuddled tightly, and Li Kuan gave Zhang Angel a contemptuous look quietly, as if to say, "I was just beaten up, why pretend to be so exaggerated?"
With years of tacit understanding, Zhang Tian was able to understand, and gave Li Kuan a resentful look, as if to say: "Why don't you try to be spanked like this by me, then you will know how fragile your butt is. Now, don't come up with some bitter tricks in front of my grandfather, how to get out of my father's body."
Li Kuan conveniently brought a stool and placed it next to the old man's seat, and Zhang Tian sat on it carefully.Unexpectedly, as soon as his butt was seated, a shrill scream resounded through the Zhang family mansion again.
"Ouch! It hurts!"
"Wait a minute, I'll get a cushion." Mrs. Zhang said, and walked quickly into the backyard, and brought the cushion from the back room after a while.
"Look at you, what a beating he is, it's outrageous!" The old man raised his crutch and wanted to swing it at Zhang Liang again.
"Father, I just hit him once!" Zhang Liang argued.
"Sure, why don't I try to hit you too?" The old man raised his crutch eager to try, but Zhang Liang dodged quickly, finding a seat and sat down depressingly.
"I'm going to make a pot of tea, every day, and the child's father, you all talk well, don't make the old lady angry anymore. Ah Kuan, come and help me." Mrs. Zhang said, leading Li Kuan to the In the backyard, make tea.There are many details about making tea, and Mrs. Zhang often does it herself.
Zhang Tian held his breath, and had already made up his mind to wait for the opportunity to speak.At this moment, the old man calmed down and said:
"Speak!"
As soon as the old man finished speaking, Zhang Tian rushed to say:
"I'll say it first, I'll say it first."
The old man nodded and said, "Okay, let's talk first."
Therefore, Zhang Tian began to slightly change today's affairs, adding oil and vinegar, and eloquently said:
"It's like this, Grandpa, today my grandson and Ah Kuan just wanted to go out for a walk, and they walked to the ferry by the Dongxi River by accident. The grandson thought that the pens, inks, papers and inkstones in my study were almost used up, so I thought Go buy some and come back. In addition, I will go to the book market to see if there are any latest books. Therefore, my grandson decided to take a ferry to Jianzhou City. By the way, I saw the neighbor's aunt on the way home, so my grandson asked her to tell our servants about my leaving home. My grandson thought it was going to the city A trip? It only takes three hours to go back and forth, so Dad won’t disagree. Grandpa, tell me, is there anything wrong with grandson’s thinking like this?”
After Zhang Tian said it, he regretted it. If the facts were changed too much, it became a lie.Sure enough, Zhang Liang jumped up from his seat angrily when he heard this, and scolded:
"Nonsense! You bastard, you've learned to lie now, haven't you!"
Just in time, Mrs. Zhang came out from the backyard, followed by Li Kuan, holding a pot of hot tea that had just been brewed.
Mrs. Zhang saw that Zhang Liang's mood was out of control again, so she quickly comforted her:
"Father, you just sit down and talk about it, the old lady is still sitting here."
This time, the old man did not target Zhang Liang, but said to Zhang Tian:
"Grandson, grandpa is here, tell the truth what you think in your heart, if you tell lies, then no one can help you."
Zhang Tian was silent.Holding the teapot, Li Kuan served hot tea to the old lady, the old man, and Mrs. Zhang one by one, and then brought Zhang Tian a large cup of herbal tea.Zhang Tian, who was already thirsty, picked up the cup of herbal tea, drank it all after a few chugs.
