Gongzi Read Water Margin No. 187
In the past, watching "Water Margin" always paid attention to the stories of those "big IP", and Lu Da in the town of Kansai, Lin Chong in the burning hay field, and Wu Song who drunkenly beat Jiang Menshen were the well-deserved protagonists in the book.
Among the 108 good men, there are only a few people who are in the C position, and they pay little attention to the supporting roles among them, and they do not care about their joys and sorrows.
Take the plot of "Lu Ti Jurisdiction Punching Town Kansai", at that time, the main focus was on the lu ti jurisdiction that was acting heroically and righteously.
The row of ruti is large enough that it is valued everywhere it goes. When he saw that Shi Jin had grown up, he thought he was a good man, so he affectionately called him Shi Dalang and dragged him to drink wine and eat meat.
On the way, I met Shi Jin's master, and since it was Shi Dalang's master, let's drink wine and eat meat together, and see how bold it is.
When they arrived at the hotel, Xiao Er asked Ruda what dishes to eat, and Ruda said proudly, "Ask what!" But there is, just sell it, and pay you back with a shot. ”
It's like when we go to a restaurant and say to the waiter to fry a book.
The atmosphere during the banquet was very good, everyone drank wine and ate meat, talked about allusions on the rivers and lakes, and competed in martial arts. If nothing else, this will be a situation where guests and hosts are happy.
However, in the private room next door, the sound of women crying and crying was heard. Ruda was talking happily, and he was very anxious to hear the crying. So he threw the plates and bowls on the table downstairs. The shopkeeper hurriedly came up to explain that the father and daughter who were selling songs next door were crying sadly.
After Ruda asked the reason, he was furious, and his sense of justice exploded in an instant, and he was about to go and kill the evil town of Kansai. Under the persuasion of Shi Jin and Li Zhong, Lu Da gave up.
He began to help Jin Cuilian's father and daughter, he took out five or two pieces of silver from his body, and then asked Shi Jin and Li Zhong to borrow money. Shi Jin took out ten two, and Li Zhong took out two or two. Lu Da hated that Li Zhong's money was too small, said "It is not a cool person", and threw the silver back to Li Zhong.
He generously handed over fifteen taels of silver to Jin Cuilian and told him to leave Weizhou tomorrow with the money.
At that time, when watching this plot, I always felt that Lu Da's generosity and righteousness were too perfect, and that kind of admiration came out of nowhere.
However, when I read this episode again recently, I always felt that Ruda's behavior was a bit outrageous to others, and it was difficult for others to be strong. On the contrary, it was Li Zhong, who took the silver, who was really wronged.
In Lu Da's eyes, Li Zhong was an unpleasant person. Is this really the case?
I don't think so, Li Zhong and Lu Da met for the first time, and they met him through Shi Jin, and he was "hard invited" to dinner.
At that time, Li Zhong was selling art on the street, and his stinky sweat had finished, and he was about to start peddling plasters. Just then, Ruda invited him to dinner.
"When the boy sells the plaster, gets the money back, and goes with TiZhi."
Seeing that the money was about to be earned, Li Zhong was reluctant to leave, so he made a request to Lu Da for a while.
However, Ruda was already impatient. "Whoever waits for you, go with you."
Seeing that Li Zhong was still hesitating, Ruda scolded the onlookers: "These people are spreading out with their ass eyes, and those who don't go to the house will be beaten." ”
Li Zhong was helpless when he saw the situation, and could only laugh and say, "Good acute person." ”
In this relationship, Li Zhong's status is very low, so he is also very humble.
During this meal, he lost a lot of income.
During the banquet, Ruda raised money from them.
Li Zhong was very hesitant, this grumpy mention jurisdiction out of five two, the rich second generation took ten two, if he did not come out, it seemed stingy, if it was too much, it was a little hurt for him, after all, he was not so rich.
He groped in his arms for half a day, and he thought about it for half a day. Gritting his teeth, he pulled out two or two pieces of silver, which were his hard-earned money for a few days, but in order to get by, he still pulled it out.
However, in his opinion, there was already a lot of silver, but in Rudana, he couldn't look at it at all. Ruda threw the silver to him and said that he was an unpleasant person.
Li Zhong's expression is not described in the book, but it should be very embarrassing to think about. Although Li Zhong is only a jianghu artist, will the grand tiger fight not have face?
When I was a child, I never considered Li Zhong's economic status, but simply gave him a miserly label from the amount of money he paid.
Now looking at it, one is a tijiao, a rich second generation, and their conditions are much stronger than this jianghu artist. Two or two silver is really not much in their eyes, maybe they are only their meal money, but for Li Zhong, who earns hard money, two or two silver may be his half a month's food.
Moreover, Li Zhong and Lu Da are not familiar with each other, and lending money to Lu Da is his love, but Lu Da does not care about this love, it really should not be.
A person whose life is not rich can lend a helping hand when others are in difficulty, what qualifications do "we" have to say that others are unhappy?
In my opinion, Li Zhong is not unhappy, but quite righteous, but lacks people's understanding and respect.
