Chapter 180 Summary and a new beginning

"What a good road!", lifting the felt car curtain and looking at the Jinzhou road that had been repaired in front of him, Yu Dongjun exclaimed happily. After admiring, he turned his head with great interest and said, "Tang Cheng, you should have a good time, this is the road you built."

When Yu Dongjun turned his head, he noticed that Tang Cheng, who was riding a horse and accompanying him on the side of his felt car, had long disappeared. After observing, the adults slid their bodies slightly, they noticed that just before he spoke, Tang Cheng had already rode a small mound on the side of the road.

Standing on the mound on the side of the roadside, presenting Tang Cheng a flat road that can accommodate six cars in parallel. The loess is at the bottom and a thin layer of gravel is covered with sand and gravel. Then the gravel is paved with stones for building houses on the gravel. A light rain just fell on the stones on the road, making the whole road spotless and clean and fresh.

On both sides of the road, the weeping willows neatly transplanted over are graceful, and the green willow branches swing up and down in the slight autumn wind, adding a bit of fresh vitality and vitality to the stone road. Behind these two rows of weeping willows, which are street trees, many houses are under construction. Soon, these houses will turn into taverns, guest houses, or even mule and horse shops.

Looking at the houses being built in front of you, Tangcheng seemed to have seen the scene of people coming and going on this road.

Originally, Tang Cheng couldn't wait to climb the hill just because he was curious about what the road he planned and participated in the construction was like. But at this moment, as he stood on the hill for a longer time, Tang Cheng became more and more obsessed with everything in front of him. It was this obsession that made him unable to see this road enough.

From the width setting of the six vehicles on the road parallel to the rammed earth structure with gravel and stone slabs on it, to the selection of street trees on both sides and the construction of houses behind the trees, everything in front of him was poured into his hard work and hard work.

It is no exaggeration to say that the road in front of us is not only in Jinzhou, but also in the entire Shandong East Road, but also the most grand one. This is the first major event that Tang Cheng really did alone in the sense of time traveling to Tang. This road is his child. Although he wanted to see it when he was not born, after it was truly implemented, the parents would suddenly find that he was so beautiful and so connected with flesh and blood.

Looking quietly at the winding road under the hills, Tang Cheng, who looked calm, kept roaring his heart, "This is the road I built!" With this road, the people of Jinzhou will definitely be ten times more convenient than before when traveling again. With this road, the originally closed Jinzhou is destined to usher in a new, unprecedented carriages and horses, and the flow of people is varied in a textured prosperity.

All this is change, and the far-reaching impact of this change will be gradually revealed in the years to come, and will be gradually experienced and recognized by the people of Jinzhou.

Because of me, all this path is the change that will affect the lives of millions of Jinzhou people because of themselves and me. When this thought suddenly arose in my mind, Tang Cheng, who was riding the mountain, suddenly felt a burning and indescribable emotion surged from the bottom of his heart.

Accompanied by this hot emotion, Tang Cheng's confidence and pride burst out in his heart at this moment was so sudden and violent. All of this made Tang Cheng experience a refreshing psychological and emotional satisfaction that he had never received in his later life.

In a person's life, whether it is hard work or hard work, what he pursues is only the satisfaction of his own needs. Human needs are divided into many levels. The most basic and easiest to satisfy are material needs, and the most advanced and most difficult to accomplish are psychological and emotional needs and the realization of self-worth. In this pursuit process, the higher the level, the more difficult the need to achieve, once the needs are satisfied, the more satisfying and pleasure it brings will be stronger.

Why don’t men take Wu Gou and seize the fifty states of Guanshan Mountain? Is it better to have a king, prince, general, and minister? The emperor took turns to do it and came to my house today. After a thousand years, countless passionate men recited these poems to fight on the battlefield, and were not afraid of suffering and suffering. Turning their heads and shedding blood without fear of it. Drive them to do this, and they are pursuing the highest level of life satisfaction. This is ideal, realizing self-worth, and it is also the complete satisfaction of psychological and emotional needs.

At the beginning of time travel, the only thing he could think of was to pursue material satisfaction. When this need was completed, Tang Cheng, who was traveling around Yangzhou in a small boat, naturally began a new pursuit. While filling his stomach, he began to think about the value of existence as a time traveler in a hazy way, and in the following time, he gradually combined the results of his thinking with different pursuits of life under different environmental backgrounds, and finally formed his ideal.

An ideal about change!

The road ahead is his first step to pursue his ideals. This first step was very steadily and the result was almost perfect. Tang Cheng also obtained the promised material and psychological satisfaction from this process and the result. Compared with the satisfaction at this moment, no matter how hard and hard work was spent in the pursuit process, it was worth it.

"Secretary Tang, it's time to leave. The master of the observation envoy told me to call you." The person who walked over to speak was an official in the Jinzhou Prefecture Office. Only a few months ago, when Tang Cheng had not visited the inspection envoy, the two were still laughing and laughing when they met in the prefecture office. However, at this time, the eyes and tone of his speech at Tang Cheng had changed completely differently.

Is it because of the change of identity or because of observation that adults value themselves? Looking at his colleague who had already changed, Tang Cheng was not sure what the reason for his change was. The only thing that can be confirmed is that pursuing ideals is by no means an empty illusion. In this process, everything people pursue in the world can be satisfied.

This is like your life ideal is to be successful. Prosperous is an abstract psychological satisfaction, but in the process of pursuing and realizing this ideal, there will be material wealth, luxury houses, and everything will be there.

Why not kill two birds with one stone?

It was heard that the observation made the adults come to Jinzhou to inspect the newly built roads, so Jinzhou Governor Yao Furong and Zhang Zishan were naturally forced to come to welcome him in person. As a result, the team has become larger and larger.

There was nothing to say on the way back. Tang Cheng almost exchanged greetings along the way. He clasped his fists and smiled. He said the words "joy and happy together" many times.

All the civil servants of the Jinzhou Prefecture Office who accompanied the governor and the Biezhu went out to welcome him could see that the observation made the adults very satisfied with this road. They also knew that although this road was built by Zhang Zishan, the one who made the greatest contribution was Tang Cheng. "Xiao Gui Cao Sui" said that the adults told Zhang Biezhu that day to explain everything. They also knew that the observation made the adults' joy and appreciation of Tang Cheng, not only in Jinzhou, but also in the officialdom of the south east of the mountain. Almost no one didn't know it.

With the figure No. 1 in the road, Jinzhou has made such great contributions to building roads. At this time, in the eyes of these old colleagues in the Jinzhou Prefecture Department, Tang Chengzhen, whose promotion has become inevitable, was very popular, and it was originally a custom in the officialdom. At this time, who would not come up to make a fame and say a few interesting and lively words!

The journey passed by in a bustling and lively manner. When he saw the Jinzhou City Gate, his desire for home instantly filled Tang Cheng's heart. After hurriedly escorting Yu Dongjun to the inn to settle the house, Tang Cheng, who had to leave the banquet at night, kept beating his horse and returning for a while.

Tang Cheng had been away for a long time this time. Seeing that he was back, the old man in the concierge, greeted him with a look of surprise and asked him to report it. However, Tang Cheng reached out to stop him.

Walking inside from the gate, I met two little girls along the way, and Tang Cheng was the same.

He deliberately walked around the door of the inner courtyard, standing against the wall, Tang Cheng poked his head slightly and looked inside. It was clearly going back to his own home, but at this time he was really like a thief, which caused the two little maids not far away to laugh.

As soon as his head poked out a little from the door, Tang Cheng quickly shrank back. It was so dangerous that he was almost discovered by Li Yingwan, who was walking in the inner courtyard.

After a few months of not seeing each other, Li Yingwan's belly was already showing signs of embarrassment, so she had to deliberately push forward when walking. And her face was smooth and smooth, and there were a few dark marks on her face.

Seeing Li Yingwan being supported by Lancao, after walking over to the gate, Tang Cheng then walked into the inner courtyard and tiptoed to Li Yingwan's back.

"Madam, I'm almost gone to the ground today, let's take a break."

"If it doesn't work, there are still three laps." Because of his heavy body, although Li Yingwan walked very slowly, she had already breathed in her voice after walking down the circle. Even so, she refused to stop. "A Chengxin said it clearly. Just walk ten laps a day in this inner courtyard, and the child will be smarter in the future."

"Madam, you are so heavy. Grandma Xiao said yesterday that you can't stand being frightened or being harassed now."

Lancao and his two were all focused on Li Yingwan's belly, and they didn't notice that someone was already close behind them. Tang Cheng, who was successfully sneaking out his teeth and claws and spread his arms to attack, suddenly heard Lancao's words and felt a little shocked.

He naturally wanted to surprise Li Yingwan, but...what if he was shocked? At this point, Tang Cheng opened his teeth and claws and stretched out his hand suddenly retracted it, and withdrew his breath and focused, he stepped out of the door step by step.

Outside the inner courtyard, the two little maids who were waiting to watch the fun were so stupid that they saw this strange scene. What is the master doing?

After exiting the door of the inner courtyard, Tang Cheng suddenly flashed to the side. Fortunately, neither Li Yingwan nor Lancao noticed him.

After letting out a long breath, Tang Chengzhong walked around from one side to the road not close to the inner courtyard, and waved to the two little girls who were staring at him.

"I'll report it and say I'm back." The little maid Mu nodded blankly. After turning around, Tang Cheng stopped her again, "When I report, remember to make the voice softer, don't be shocked, remember?"

"Remember", after seeing that the little girl had already walked into the gate of the inner courtyard, Tang Cheng then coughed twice, walked slowly inside with his hands behind his back.

With his hands behind his back, his head slightly raised, and his feet were walking in a row. This is the most common walking posture in Taoism from doctors in various subjects to students. He swayed one step at a time, and then accompanied by the green collar and Confucian uniform on his body. Tsk tsk, this step is obvious at first glance, revealing his temperament and knowledge, and it is really stylish and stylish.

Since he reached Taoism, Tang Cheng has seen this set a lot, but for him who is often busy, walking with this pace is really a rush. He has never used it once. Today, he has finally demonstrated it for a while to waste time. Unfortunately, he has not yet fulfilled his style, so he has to give up hastily before he can express it.

Li Yingwan came out, and what was even more terrible was that she came out of the inner courtyard and was jogging.

My mother! As soon as I saw Li Yingwan with a big belly erect, she put on this position. Tang Cheng's four-sided steps immediately turned into rabbit legs, and the hand that was originally carrying behind her suddenly stretched forward.

"Don't run, don't run," Tang Cheng shouted not to run, but his feet were running wildly. Seeing that they were together, Tang Cheng, who was afraid that he would hit Li Yingwan's belly, suddenly gave way to the side, and tightened his extended hand. He had already hugged Li Yingwan from the side.

"Oh, why are you running away?" After standing still with her arms around Li Yingwan, Tang Cheng carefully looked at her belly, "How is it? Does it hurt?"

Li Yingwan's hand habitually touched her stomach, and she didn't say anything when she heard this, but just looked at Tang Cheng and kept smiling.

"I'm back," Li Yingwan smiled a little silly. But it was her slightly silly smile that made Tang Cheng laugh.

He reached out and gently wiped a small layer of fine sweat from Li Yingwan's forehead. Tang Cheng hugged her with his other hand and walked towards the inner courtyard. "Look at your sweat, I'll rest after entering, so don't move anymore."

"Yes", I don't know if pregnant women are prone to changes in temperament. In short, Li Yingwan is showing this now. She leaned tightly in Tang Cheng's arms while stroking her belly with her hands. She smiled and nodded. Oh, that look, she is so gentle that she can drip out of water. Just looking at her now, no one would have thought that she had the nickname of "poisonous widow".

Seeing that he had arrived at the inner courtyard, Tang Cheng didn't want to enter the house because the sunset was setting, thinking about letting her Li Yingwan get more breath. However, just as he was holding Li Yingwan and was about to sit down in the middle of the yard, Li Yingwan, who was suddenly stunned, suddenly thought of something, and she stood up again, already sitting down.

"Acheng. You are waiting here." After Li Yingwan, who turned his face, said this, he asked Lancao to help him into the main house.

After about two incense sticks, Li Yingwan walked out again by orchid, but compared to the past, her slightly messy hair was neat and shiny. More importantly, the obvious pregnancy spots on her face were completely covered by cosmetics. At this moment, Li Yingwan completely returned to her former brightness.

But it turned out that Li Yingwan was in a hurry to go in and pack up her makeup just now. Looking at this scene, Tang Cheng felt both funny and sad.

"Yingwan, you are so beautiful. Come on, sit on my lap, the stone table is too cold." After holding Li Yingwan in his arms, Tang Cheng smiled and said softly: "Yingwan, let me tell you a story."

Li Yingwan's voice was very soft and "good".

"Once upon a time, there was a scholar who married a very beautiful wife. The two lived happily together. Later, a fire broke out in the family. Although they escaped by chance, the originally beautiful woman's appearance of the scholar's wife was completely destroyed."

"Ah?", when he heard this, Li Yingwan's body suddenly stiffened, "What's next?"

The story later was very simple, and it was also very vulgar for later generations. It was like "the prince and the princess lived a happy life from then on." It was nothing more than that although the beautiful appearance of the husband's family was ruined, the scholar did not dislike or disgust him at all. The two continued to live happily together, gave birth to many children, and finally grew old together slowly. Then at a time like today, the old scholar who was already gray-haired, held the old husband's hand and spoke a very bloody and 8 o'clock romance.

A very bloody story, but the result was that Li Yingwan was crying in a very bloody way.

After the story was told, Li Yingwan didn't speak for a long time, but just watched the sunset quietly, and then whispered: "Acheng".

"Um?".

"You are so nice." Li Yingwan's wet cheeks pressed against Tang Cheng's face. The already soft voice became softer, softer like the murmuring in the middle of the night, "I want to give birth to a lot of children for you, and I want to grow old slowly with you. After I can't get there, you will still be the treasure in my palm."

A stupid Tang Dynasty woman hid in the arms of a time traveler and repeated the words of the bloody story. The colorful sunset shone light on the two people hugging each other. The scene at this moment was really eight o'clock. It was very bloody...

For some time after that, Tang Cheng basically stayed at home and stayed with his family. I don’t know how long it took to go to Chang’an. Now he really cherishes every minute and every second in front of him.

However, the more I wanted to keep time, the faster I ran as if I had grown my feet. The day of departure was getting closer and closer. On this day, Tang Cheng made a special trip to his hometown village school to meet Mr. Yan. Since he was transferred to Daocheng, Mr. Lao insisted on going home and continuing the work of the village school.

Not long after returning from Daocheng, Tang Cheng came here, but unfortunately, Mr. Yan happened to see his daughter that time, so Tang Cheng, who had lost everything, left only a collection of his own poems.

The village school is as always, and the study of Master Yan in the village school is also as always. At this moment, Tang Cheng's collection of poems written on the best paper and written by the best craftsman is placed correctly on the desk of Master Yan's desk. He just looked at the traces on the pages, but he had never even opened the collection of poems.

It has been so long since the collection of poems he sent so far. Mr. Yan never even read them. The scene in front of him really surprised Tang Cheng, "Teacher..."

"Tang Cheng, I remember that you are just about the age of 80, right?"

Tang Cheng nodded in confusion. Master Yan today is a bit strange.

"At the age of a young age, I published a collection of poems..." Master Yan, pressing his hand on the collection of poems, only said half of it, but Tang Cheng could not tell from his expression that this was praise or criticism, "Tang Cheng, you have been in Taoism for some time. What do you have in the Five Classics?"

"The disciple has been transferred to the Jinshi class." Seeing that Mr. Yan's face changed, Tang Cheng hurriedly added: "This is what Master Zhengdao's meaning is to learn from Taoism."

"Oh! Master Xuezheng", Master Yan slowly closed his eyes and took his hands back from the collection of poems.

This was almost time for a meal. Master Yan didn't say anything, and Tang Cheng didn't know what to say.

"Tang Cheng, I still remember when you first came to the village to study. From then on, you learned from the village to the county, then the state, and Taoism. Your land has changed a lot, and you are in the town. Some people say you have a great fortune, some people say your family's Feng Shui is good, and some people say you are smart." At this point, Master Yan suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Tang Cheng with a bright look: "Do you know why there will be such a big change in just a short time?"

Tang Cheng really didn't think about this question carefully, "I don't know".

"Diligence and strength", facing Tang Cheng's gaze, Master Yan said these two words heavily, "Do you still remember two slang words that you said in your spare time?"

Before Tang Cheng could answer, Master Yan continued: "How much sweat, how much food you eat; how many kinds of seedlings you harvest! Your unintentional slang is the root of your life today." When he said this, Master Yan stood up, "You should not rely on talent, and you should not rely on your so-called intelligence. If you lose this down-to-earth diligence, no matter how fast you rise, it will be like a castle in the air, and there will be a day when you collapse."

Before he came back a few days ago, Tang Chengru felt that he had something wrong since he arrived in Daocheng, but he didn't figure out where it was wrong. At this time, in the extremely simple study of Master Yan, he suddenly realized.

"This is what you fell when you went to Daocheng that day." Mr. Yan, who turned around and walked back from the bookshelf, was holding a wooden ruler. The wooden ruler he gave to Tang Cheng that day, "Since you didn't bring it, I took it back."

Seeing this ruler and hearing Mr. Yan’s words, Tang Cheng was ashamed. He was so sad that he really forgot about this thing Mr. Yan gave him to his own precepts.

Silently, Master Yan didn't say anything, Tang Cheng consciously stretched out his hand.

With a crisp "bang", the ruler hit Tang Cheng's hand heavily. Master Yan's only four words of admonition fell along with the ruler, "Be careful of arrogance and impatience."

"Keep arrogance and impatience", the four short words ring like a heavy drum in Tang Cheng's heart. At this moment, he finally understood what was wrong in Daocheng.

Self-pride and impetuous! All this he obtained in Daocheng, from fame to improving the Jinshi exam and getting the opportunity to take the imperial examination, was obtained through those poems. However, none of these poems was written by himself. As a time traveler, in order to pursue his ideals, Tang Cheng did not regret borrowing these poems. What made him reflect on at this moment was his mentality when dealing with the things behind these borrowed poems.

Although you don’t regret borrowing poetry, it does not mean that you can be complacent about the reputation and praise brought by it. You always steal it. Although you don’t feel shameful about this matter, you will never be so glorious that you are content with it.

When falsehood is true, true and false. Even though things in the world are like this, if you are the same with yourself, you should not be arrogant and impetuous. When this habit becomes heavier, a person who loses himself will eventually encounter failure.

To prevent the problem from escalating, this ruler is a revelation before Tang Cheng is about to embark on his journey to Chang'an!

Three days later, Tang Cheng said goodbye to his family in a complicated mood and left Jinzhou.

Ten days later, Tang Cheng, who had settled down in all matters in Daocheng, officially set off for Chang'an.
Chapter completed!
