Chapter 978: The dowry is received


The two envoys also wanted to say: You are really you, you said that your king, our king looks up to you, so we asked us to invite you for a lot of money.

If you become Chu Xiang, you can say goodbye to your current life.

You don't have to pretend, you can live a rich life generously.

What kind of life are you living now, it's the life of a poor ghost, it's a poor ghost life that others look down on, what do you think?

The two of them probably knew: Zhuangzi had silver at home, but he pretended to be poorer than he was, and lived like a poor person.

If Zhuangzi agrees to go to Chu to be an official, he will become a master all of a sudden, live the life of a high-ranking official, and enjoy the benefits of high-ranking officials.

The glory of the ancestors is small, and it can also shelter the children and grandchildren.

But seeing that Zhuangzi said it so clearly, they felt that they had nothing to say.

Zhuangzi said that he would rather be the turtle crawling in the mud than the glorious and noble looking dead turtle on the altar of Chu.

Zhuangzi believes that it is better to live than anything else Why didn't Zhuangzi become an official?

It's not just because he swore in front of Song Cuicheng that he would "never be an official".

Rather, he saw that being an official was not free.

The official position is just the ornament of the king, just the pawn of the king.

When you can't be used by the king, you can die at any time.

When you go against the king's will and are unwilling to be a pawn of the king, you may die at any time.

When you skillfully maneuver in front of the king, or when you are wise to protect yourself, although you are an official, what is the difference between you and the turtle on the altar You are a living dead, and you have lost the freedom to be a human being, the freedom of human nature.

The current Zhuangzi is very poor on the surface, but he has freedom.

He can weave straw sandals when he wants, and come out to fish if he wants to fish, how good it is, and these officials, secretly ran from the Chu State to the Song State, running around in this troubled era, and carrying so many gold, silver and jade, it is very dangerous, and even the bones of the family members can't be found when they die.

But just like that, I really can't give an account to the king.

I did this errand, I can't say that I gave a lot of money to Zhuangzi and then went to Zhuangzi's house to come back, if so, I didn't come to invite Zhuangzi to go to Chu to be an official, but to offend Zhuangzi.

If that were the case, they would be beheaded.

"The widow asked you to invite Zhuangzi, how can you offend him, you must be a spy dragged out and cut down" But all the gold and silver were given, and no one was invited, so they couldn't make a difference "Go away, I don't want your money, and I don't blame you.

I don't take a lot of money from you, and I don't want to be an official with you.

I took a lot of money from you, and instead of being an official, it's not my Zhuangzi, I'm not the kind of greedy person, let's go."

When the two of them heard this, they kowtowed to the ground again, and said: "This is given to you by the king, how can I take it back, whether you go to the state of Chu or not to be an official, it was all given to you by the king." ” The two of them said so, but they knew in their hearts that they would not be able to deal with the king if they went back empty-handed like this.

But what if you don't do this, it's a big deal, and the two of us will lose this heavy money.

I believe that the king will not let the two of us lose it, my God, this is going to be bankrupt "You guys, alas" Seeing the pus-like appearance of the two of them, Zhuangzi shook his head and sighed: "Actually, you didn't return empty-handed.

When you go back, tell the king what we have said in the past few days, and the king will not punish you, but will think that you have done a good job."

"This" "Woo woo" Seeing that these two people were not so bad and were still very loyal to their king, Zhuangzi sympathized again.

If it's a bad guy or a bad guy, they'd probably die rather than get the money back.

It's impossible to go back directly, but they can take the method of pestering, and if you get annoyed, they will naturally return the bride price to him.

So that they would not be punished much when they returned.

They will say: It was Zhuangzi who did not want the dowry money, so we took it back.

We have a good relationship with Zhuangzi, he just doesn't want to be an official, he doesn't offend, he doesn't offend If you want to go back directly, it will be stupid.

If King Chu Wei sent such a fool to invite Zhuangzi, it can be seen that King Chu Wei's IQ is problematic.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, not long ago, the Chinese ancestors paid great attention to talents and places of good names.

It is impossible for them to offend a non-partisan talent like Zhuangzi.

If Zhuangzi had a position to help a certain king speak from the standpoint of whoever was there, then King Chu Wei might find a way to get the dowry back.

For those who are unwilling to be officials, generally kings and important ministers will be close to you, saying who they are with, how and how they admire, in order to win a good name and put gold on their faces.

Seeing the two crying, Zhuangzi took back the fishing rod, called the two up, and taught the two how to go back and give an account to King Chuwei.

After the two got the reassurance, they fell to the ground and kowtowed to Zhuangzi.

Then he went away in tears.

Zhuangzi collected the fishing rod, hugged his son Yang Hu, and returned home in a flash.

At home, the seller is crying.

"Woo woo woo dad woo woo dad woo He closed the door of the courtyard and the door of the hall, and sat down in the hall and wept.

In front of her, there was a whole box of gold, silver, jade and jewelry.

In the face of these treasures, she became scared.

If so many treasures are known by thieves, they don't think about your family, and sooner or later your family will be patronized by thieves.

If the bandits find out, they will come directly to the door to rob it If outsiders knew that you had so many treasures in your family, you would dare to take your children to the streets, and people wouldn't kidnap you and kidnap ghosts Inside the hall, the twin sisters also stood next to the box, looking at the treasure inside the box.

But they don't know the importance of these treasures.

I'm just curious and want to take it out and play with it.

But it was stopped by his mother's drink.

Zhuang Ping was also confused, standing beside the eldest sister and the second sister, blinking and looking at his mother.

Zhuang Geng didn't know anything anymore, but when he saw his mother crying, he looked very dazed.

"He's Daddy, He's Daddy" Zhuangzi appeared in the hall, and Mai'er asked as if he had seen a savior.

"What should I do with his father, our family is going to be a thief again, woo woo woo" Zhuangzi's mind moved, and the box in front of him disappeared.

"I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything, eldest sister, second sister Ping'er, Yanghu, you didn't see anything, didn't you" Zhuangzi made a grimace at a few people and asked.

When the twin sisters saw this, they immediately turned their heads and replied, "Daddy, we didn't see anything." aa2705221:
