Chapter 218 My Future Is Not a Dream



Chapter 211 My Future Is Not a Dream

In fact, Zhao Huan really hadn't figured out what he would do in the future. The one idea he had that was probably quite clear was to try as many things as possible to make this life given by God more colorful.

First of all, your career should be enriching.

Then, even from a fun perspective, I can’t windsurf, ski, rock climb, or dive… It’s ok that I can’t fly a plane, but I can’t even drive a yacht… What’s that?

In his previous life, he had no energy, no money, and no time. In this life, is the so-called successful life just about cocktail parties, luxury houses, and Forbes rankings? Zhao Huan didn't want it.

"Make the bed, make the bed, have children and grandchildren, have a son for the husband, and a daughter for the son."

In this rebirth, I've already experienced at least two life-threatening situations. Add to that the ever-present hurdle of 2015, and I'm not sure if I can successfully overcome it...

Zhao Huan doesn't want to see one day in the future when everything suddenly ends and he looks back and realizes that he just made a lot of money.

And... I really want to be a father again.

Generally speaking, the wedding night is on the wedding day, but they were an exception. They were still at sea on the wedding day, so their wedding night was not made up until today.

As usual, people watching the wedding would make a fuss in the bridal chamber on the wedding night, but Zhu Ping'an and Li Shu's wedding night was separated from their marriage, so there was no fuss in the bridal chamber.

This thought, along with the two near-death experiences and the appearance of Nian Nian, was actually becoming stronger and stronger. Zhao Huan had even dreamt of such a scene several times.

After all, the mentality of a man in his thirties is not comparable to that of his teens and twenties, and his desire for family will be stronger.

Listen to the stories told by the coal mine boss

"My parents passed away early," Yuwen Xuzhong said as he recalled, "When I was thirteen, my uncle and aunt took me to the mine.

It was a private illegal mine. I still remember clearly that I was standing by and listening to them talking to the head of the mine. They actually only asked two questions that day.

First, how much money can this child earn in a month?

Second, if someone dies, how much compensation can be paid?"

Yuwen Xuzhong spoke calmly, but these words and these two questions actually caused an immense shock to these talented people present.

"Guess what the foreman said if I died in the mine, how much compensation would I get?"

No one answered.

"Three thousand." Yuwen Xuzhong said.

There was a sigh of relief on the spot.

"My aunt and uncle almost got the money. Less than a month after I started working in the mine, a landslide occurred and I was buried. Actually, only a section of the mine collapsed, and I was still alive. But the boss organized people to dig for a day, but couldn't find it all... so he gave up. Because I and another person were buried inside, he probably thought it was more cost-effective to pay the money."

"I broke one hand, so I used the other to dig it out. There was also someone outside who didn't give up and dug in... This person was a girl, who later became the biological mother of my son Jinshan.

She was working with her family at the mine, responsible for cooking. She was two years older than me. Everyone else gave up, but she didn't. Braving the pouring rain and the risk of another landslide, she dug bit by bit, day and night, until her hands were covered in blood..."

"When the digging was done, I looked at her and she looked at me. I said, 'I'll get rich and marry you.' She said, 'It's okay if I don't get rich.'"

“Pah…”

“Pah pah pah pah…”

For those present, this story was difficult, cruel, yet also full of romanticism. Thunderous applause...

"After I climbed up, my boss came to see me. He gave me 500 yuan and said, 'Come back after your hand is healed.' At that time, there happened to be a safety inspection team on our side, so I took the plunge. I told him, 'I'm not coming, just give me 10,000 yuan. I almost died, one of them died inside... If you don't give it to me, I'll report it to the safety inspection team.' He said, 'What do you think they're going to do to me?' I said, 'I know they won't, but it will cost you more money.'"

"Did you get the ten thousand yuan?"

"Yeah. Because I told him that besides those two options, there was only one other way, and that was to bury me again. He actually dragged me to the entrance of an abandoned mine and wanted to bury me. I stood there watching him fill the hole with dirt. When the dirt reached his chest, he said, 'Come up, and I'll give you ten thousand.'"

"I started with that 10,000 yuan. A year later, I had my first million. I went back to the black mine and treated the boss to a meal. Then I gave my wife's parents 100,000 yuan and took her away."

There was a burst of cheers at the scene, and everyone listened with great interest and full of anticipation.

Confucius was trapped between Chen and Cai, and had been without food for seven days. He played the qin in his room. Yan Hui left vegetables outside his door to show his respect for his teacher and his loyalty to him.

From then on, "Shicai" represented respect for teachers, and the "Shicai ceremony" became one of the two major etiquette systems in the worship of Confucius. Shicai means honoring the teacher with fruits and vegetables, and the "Shicai ceremony" is the "teacher worship ceremony". However, as time went by, new scholars also had to perform the "Shicai ceremony", thank the teacher Confucius, and then take off their coarse cloth clothes and straw sandals, indicating that they had entered the official career.

After entering the Confucius Temple, officials from the Imperial College led Zhu Ping'an and others into a side hall, where they washed and changed their clothes. They took off their clothes and put on coarse cloth clothes and cloth shoes that had been prepared long ago. Under the guidance of officials from the Imperial College, they lined up according to their ranking in the palace examination.

"In fact, this applies not only to the Three Kingdoms, but to the entire world. For example, in the early Han Dynasty, Xiang Yu was a man of unparalleled strength and courage. He became famous after the Battle of the River with his back to the river, and his generals and counselors were all gathered. If Xiang Yu had followed Fan Zeng's strategy at the Hongmen Banquet, killing Liu Bang and seizing the world would have been a piece of cake. But what would have happened? Xiang Yu was not shameless or evil. He let Liu Bang escape at the Hongmen Banquet, and in the end he committed suicide by slashing his throat at the Wujiang River, his body and head separated!"

"Liu Bang, on the other hand, was both thick-skinned and cunning. For example, when he was escaping, he was dissatisfied with his son's weight and the slow speed of the carriage, so he kicked his son out of the carriage several times. Xiang Yu threatened to cook Liu Bang's father to death, but Liu Bang shamelessly said, "Cook our father well, don't skimp on the pepper and star anise, and give me a bowl of broth when it's done..."

The door to the bridal chamber was also painted red to suit the occasion, with festive couplets posted on it and two exquisitely composed double happiness characters in the middle. Two maids stood at the door of the bridal chamber. They were Li Shu's personal maids. One of the maids was holding a scroll in her hand and was looking up at the third courtyard door.

The bridal chamber also has a red theme. There are double happiness characters on the walls, including screens, porcelain bottles, jades and other furniture. The floor is covered with red carpets, which makes the bridal chamber glow with red light and full of joy.

In addition to officials from the Imperial College, there were also officials from the Ministry of Rites in the Confucius Temple, who served as the Tongzan, Yinzan, and other ceremonial personnel for the Shicai Ceremony.

Ever since I learned to read, I've been struck by the great names and riches of the ancients. I've tried to understand the reasons for this, but I've found nothing. I've searched the Six Classics and various histories, but I've found nothing. I've searched the various schools of thought, but I've also found nothing. I've assumed the ancients must have some secrets, but my nature is so dull that I can't discern them. For years, I've searched relentlessly, forgetting to sleep or eat. Then, when I happened to read the Records of the Three Kingdoms, I suddenly realized: those who achieved great things in ancient times were nothing more than cunning and treacherous.
