Career is a lifelong pursuit for an ambitious man.±

If a person spends his whole life pursuing a goal, no matter what the goal is or whether it can be achieved, the person must be the closest to the goal. This principle is of course of being of universal value to some normal, ordinary, and universal human beings.

The existence of monsters is specifically used to break universal values. Yun Zheng saw such monsters today.

Li Chang's family is very lively today, with a cluster of cars and horses enviable. The servants in brand new clothes stood from the mansion gate to the street. Anyone who brought gifts would invite them to enter Li's mansion for a cup of tea.

Everyone in Tokyo knows that Li Chang is a good official who is as honest as water. Therefore, everyone brought enough gifts on the birthday of the old lady of Li’s house today, and prepared to reward this Lord Qingtian who never accepts gifts.

Be kind and filial, this is the national policy. Li Huangmen, who usually doesn’t enter the oil and salt, must make an exception today, because the gifts they bring are all filial to the old lady, not to bribe Li Huangmen.

Life is rare in seventy years. Even the poorest officials will prepare some birthday peaches and birthday noodles to congratulate them today. No matter how many gifts Li Chang received today, no one will impeach them without hesitation. If he still wants to have the opportunity to receive gifts on such a large scale, he will have to wait until the old lady’s 80th birthday. From this point of view, the saying that an old man in the family, as if he has a treasure is right.

There are eight brothers in Li Chang, which is very enviable. Eight people stand in line in front of the Li Mansion to greet the guests, which looks very domineering, especially after putting on the official robe, they are so arrogant that they make people have nothing to say.

In the Song Dynasty, there were many brothers and sisters, so it was a profit. Needless to say, there were eight brothers who were officials, this was already a wealthy family.

Yun Zheng also hoped that eight big men would stand in front of his door to receive gifts when he celebrated his 70th birthday. However, when he thought about Lu Qingying and Ge Qiuyan's attitude towards having children, he felt that he might have hopeless in his life.

What he can't get must be sour. At least Yun Zheng thinks that at least seven of the eight brothers of the Li family are above the corpse, and they specifically deceive Zhao Zhen to pay his salary.

Li Changyunzheng walked over with his eight-character steps and hurried forward to greet him. He held Yun Zheng's hand and smiled, "The military commander is here, and the humble house is full of glory."

Yun Zheng glanced at Li Chang and said, "What's the matter with you when I'm here to celebrate the old lady's birthday?"

Li Chang had long been accustomed to Yun Zheng's moodiness. He was not angry at all after hearing this. He said with a smile: "I am the eldest son of my mother, so I will naturally welcome the guests on behalf of my mother. Military commander will invite you."

Yun Zheng pointed to the carriage behind him: "I don't know what the birthday ceremony prepared by the lady is inside. Just take it away. I can also complete the military order."

Li Chang smiled like a flower. He said it was a waste of money, but the newly-dressed row of mouth was made of something, and his teeth were dazzling.

Li Changyunzheng looked at his mouth, smiled and knocked his teeth, saying, "Ivory, the craftsmanship of Persian craftsmen."

It turned out that there was a special dentist at this time, which was something that Yun Zheng didn't know. However, after Li Chang had teeth, Yun Zheng immediately felt that he felt much less guilty.

"I'll send this craftsman to my mansion. I'm going to study the dentures carefully. Don't you think it's ugly to put ivory in your mouth?"

Li Chang laughed and said, "Some people have already said that I am a dog and can't spit out ivory anymore. Now I have ivory in my mouth. I want to see what they have to say."

Yun Zheng had a deep understanding of Li Chang's shamelessness. He looked at him with a thumbs up and came to the Li Chang's brothers and listened to Li Chang's introduction to him.

"It turns out that the whole family is full of purple and purple." After hearing Li Chang's introduction, Yun Zheng could only say this with emotion. His seven younger brothers had the lowest official positions and the magistrate of Jiangning Mansion. From this point, we can see how profound the Li family's background is.

"You brothers actually entered the bureaucratic system of the Song Dynasty through scientific research. Lao Li, I am indeed surprised by this. What surprised me even more is that you didn't cheat!"

Li Chang laughed and said, "I, Li Chang, can do anything to get promoted, but if one of the Li family enters the officialdom through fraud, his fate will be much worse than losing his official position.

My mother always believed that the first condition for being an official is that her knowledge must match her official position. If the two cannot be equal, the official will not be able to do well. Maybe it will cause disaster to himself and others in the family because of his insufficient ability."

Yun Zheng sighed, turned around and took out a box of ginseng from the pile of gifts he brought, hugged it in his hand and said to Li Chang: "Brother Li, please lead the way. I really hope to meet the old lady in person to ask her to educate her in person."

Li Chang smiled proudly and said, "Mr. Military Commander, please drink tea in the flower hall. I will go and invite my mother out now."

Being able to enter someone’s flower hall means that Li Chang did not regard Yun Zheng as an outsider.

This is a small compartment, and outside the flower window is the Li family's small garden. The reason why it is called a small garden is because this garden is indeed not big compared to the Yun family's garden.

Yun Zheng sat in the flower hall for a while and immediately found that there were countless beautiful scenery in this small compartment. As long as he moved his body, a completely different picture would appear in front of him.

Several green bamboos outside the flower window were cut into a living green bamboo picture by the flower window. When you took a step forward, a clump of orchids beside the green bamboo came into view, and the green bamboo picture immediately turned into orchids and green bamboos. After a step back, a pot of thick pine bonsai was cut into a wonderful fan by the fan-shaped flower window with its primacy structure.

The small gallery is not deep, but a beam of sunlight falling from the patio happened to shine on a quaint stone urn covered with moss. A white lotus flower was blooming brightly. The graceful maid passed under a pomegranate tree with tea. The red flowers on the pomegranate tree were in full swing. The maid accidentally hit a broken flower, which fell on the white porcelain plate, but it was a little more desolate.

An old woman walked over a pebbly path. Her hair was snow-white, but her face was particularly rosy. She couldn't see her old look while walking.

Li Chang shrank his neck and hugged his hands in his chest, followed by the old woman, blinking at Yun Zheng from afar, and there was a hint of naughtyness on the old face.

Yun Zheng stood up and welcomed the old woman to sit in the main seat, knelt on one knee to congratulate the old birthday star on his birthday, and sent the ginseng he brought to wish the old man a hundred years of life.

The old woman laughed and said, "Get up, let you, an invincible general, kneel down and bow to the old woman, a little aggrieved."

Yun Zheng bowed and said, "I have a friend with Brother Li and I will hold my brother-in-law when I see the old lady. This is a natural thing to do, so why can I feel wronged?"

"You knocked down my son's eight teeth?"

He beat his son and is now being questioned by his mother. No matter how thick-skinned Yun Zheng was, he blushed at this time, and he was so silly that he didn't know how to answer.

Li Chang smiled and said, "Mother Rong Bing, Brother Yun had a political conflict with his child at first, and he was enemies of each other at that time, and such things were inevitable.

Later, when the boy met with Brother Yun, he found that they were sincere gentlemen and regretted the past. He remembered very clearly that the military commander and the boy led the army to Tang County. We only had 10,000 troops, and the Liao army had as many as 15,000. The extremely cruel and inhumane savage Yelu Huata, a savage from the Liao Kingdom, fought in Tang County.

The military commander decided to fight Yelu Huata in Tang County. Before going out, the military commander told me: If he dies in this battle, I will forget about his beating me.

The child said that he had forgotten it, so he asked his mother not to mention this matter again."

The old woman looked at her son, then at Yun Zheng, got up and held Yun Zheng's hand and said, "What else can you not see if you crawl out of the pile of dead people together?

I heard that you were the first to lead the army in Tang County to fight for the battle in blood. This is the case. I won’t blame you. When I came back and talked about the tragic part of that battle, even if I was the old man, my back was cold and the savages were cruel, our soldiers naturally had to fight to the death.

General, please receive a gift from the old woman.”

Yun Zheng said he didn't dare, and helped the old woman sit back and said, "Thank you for your magnanimity. Yun Zheng was young and did nothing at that time. He relied on some minor achievements to do things in the court. Now he often feels sweating profusely and regrets it."

The old woman sighed and said, "Every family has a difficult sutra, who has never been stumbling over the rest of their lives? Even my son has repented after being beaten by you. His vision of things has risen a little further without realizing it. Even from this point of view, it is not unfair to lose eight teeth.

When I heard my son talk about you, I always thought you would be a domineering young general. Now, you already know that you are hiding your weakness, which is a good thing.

I only wish you can support each other and end your life. Don’t wait until you are old to realize the preciousness of true love. If a person is old, it will be too late to do anything and can’t do anything except thinking about it.”

Yun Zheng bowed to thank the old lady for her teachings, and the old woman stood up and said, "You sit for a while, and you will take a nap after a while, and you will also help these unsavvy descendants to gain wealth. Although you are already seventy-five, you have to hold the 70th birthday, and you will not be laughed at."

After watching the old lady be helped by the maid, Yun Zheng sat on the chair and said to Li Chang: "I just want to know how the old lady trained all of you brothers to become talents!"

Li Chang said in pain: "This situation is really not enough to be told to outsiders. I can only say that my mother's family rules are really powerful.

Our eight brothers were not born to one mother. My father had just served as a prefect. In terms of talent, my mother said that she could not compare to any of our brothers.

My brother has lived in the shadow of his mother since childhood. After failing to complete his studies, he immediately made a board. When I was in Qianzhou, someone sent some peaches to my father. Eight of my brothers each divided one. Because we did not take them in the order of old and young, all eight of us were punished. Since then, I have never eaten peaches again..."

Yun Zheng said in surprise: "Can you say..."

Li Chang said angrily: "Our ability is now beaten by our mother. From childhood to adulthood, I may have been hit by more sticks than you, the general, got hit by more sticks." (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
