This Northern Song Dynasty is a bit weird

Chapter 73
Ouyang Xiu has a good reputation in history.

If he insisted on making a point, he, like other literati, did not look down on military generals very much.

Di Qing was 'black' by him, and he was also one of the driving forces that led to Di Qing's unhappy death.

Other than that, there are no other faults worth discussing.

The neglect and suppression of Di Qing were political correctness in the political arena at that time, and no one could escape.

Even Pang Ji Pang Taishi, who once admired Di Qing very much, started 'hostility' after Di Qing became a privy envoy.

Of course, this is all the history of Lu Sen's previous life. At this time, Di Qing had no tattoos on his face. At the same time, he was negotiating with Runan County King to get rid of the position of privy envoy and get more of what he wanted.

For example, the right to participate in the Western Xia Raiders.

Seeing Ouyang Xiu's helpless expression, Lu Sen smiled and said, "Ouyang participates in politics, don't be in a hurry, you can't be in a hurry, why don't you sit down and have something to rest for a while... Come, eat a fruit first."

As if conjuring a trick, Lu Sen had a pear in his hand.

Ouyang Xiu's eyes lit up, he sat down, and then generously picked up the pear in Lu Sen's hand, and said with a smile: "It is said that the fairy fruit in Lu Zhen's home can make people feel a hundred times more energetic and prolong life. I have not eaten it yet, so I will try it. "

After all, he ate the pears in a few mouthfuls, and after a while, he felt much more comfortable all over his body.

He felt light and refreshed, as if he had returned to his youth.

Of course, youth is just an illusion.

Yang Jinhua, who was beside him, was a little puzzled, and couldn't help but ask, "Ouyang is involved in politics, I have already sent two baskets of fruit to your lady. Haven't you seen the fruit in my house?"

"I saw it, I saw it." Ouyang Xiu said rather embarrassedly, "But the old mother and the dog in the family are not in good health, so I let them share the food."

It turned out to be the case.

Lu Sen had also heard about Ouyang Xiu's mother. She was one of the Four Great Mothers and was quite famous.

After eating the pears, Ouyang Xiu wiped his hands and asked, "Does Lu Zhenren have a place to stay at night?"

"not yet!"

"Then there is a vacant yard behind the Hangzhou Mansion. It's quite a big place, and it's not a problem for a dozen people to live there."

Having said that, Ouyang Xiu stood up and continued, "I just happen to be going back to the residence to wholesale official documents, so let's go together?"

"Let's go together." Lu Sen shouted to the side at the same time, "Little Er, pack up."

"Guest officer, okay."

Yang Jinhua and Zhao Bilian were both carrying the food boxes presented by the restaurant... The hotel they settled in just now, the charges were not cheap, and it was no problem to send one or two simple and cheap wooden food boxes.

Lu Sen and Ouyang Xiu walked side by side.

At the same time, Ouyang Xiu was complaining to Lu Sen.

There are many pedestrians on Hangzhou Street now, many of them are foreigners, and some are brought by businessmen who are going to set off with the imperial fleet.

After all, the bigger the ship, the more manpower it needs to control, and another batch of manpower to do other chores.

Even when encountering enemy situations, they act as combatants.

These are Song people, and Hangzhou has no reason to stop them from entering the city.

And after the ship was parked outside the port, the ship owner sent his men to the city to buy basic ocean-going supplies, of which 'food' was the bulk of it.

Dried meat, soybeans, mung beans, and raw brown rice are hard currency for them.

In particular, soybeans, who have lived in the ocean for a long time, have almost no raw vegetables to eat, and it is easy to get sepsis after a long time.

Song sailors don't know what sepsis is, but they know that soybean sprouts can suppress the symptoms of sepsis, which is enough.

These ocean-going goods are moved to the ship one by one, and there are more than 1000 ships outside.

Even if the flow of goods in Hangzhou is huge, it can't stand such a toss.

Fortunately, because of the well-developed waterway freight in Hangzhou, Ouyang Xiu urgently mobilized officials and merchants to purchase goods in surrounding cities and bring them back, which barely caused prices to soar to an outrageous level.

still within the sphere of public acceptance.

"Thanks to Ouyang's participation in politics." Lu Sen surrendered.

"It's not hard work, but I'm worried that the prices in Hangzhou will not be able to support it." Ouyang Xiu led Lu Sen to the back of the Hangzhou government office and pointed to the yard surrounded by red walls between his fingers: "There is no one living there, and there is no shortage of furniture. Just less bedding."

"Thank you." Lu Sen slightly bent over and cupped his hands.

As soon as he arrived in Hangzhou, Ouyang Xiu helped him find a place to stay. Although there was no banquet, it was no problem at all.

Many times, human favors are owed like this.

"Old man still has official business, so don't bother." Ouyang Xiu cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Anyway, please ask Lu Zhenren to quickly build the Xianjia ship, and let the people in the port get out of the way. There are too many merchants. , Hangzhou Xishizi, they all feel tainted by the copper stench."

Lu Sen had to nod and agree: "Tomorrow, we should be able to start."

Ouyang Xiu cupped his hands again and turned to leave.

After Ouyang Xiu disappeared at the corner of the street, Lu Sen took Yang Jinhua and the others into the courtyard, walked around, and then went into the small building to watch for a while, and they were all very satisfied.

The yard is quite large and has some landscape layouts. The small building is divided into two floors, three large rooms upstairs, and five medium-sized houses downstairs besides the kitchen and bathroom, which are enough for Lu Sen and the others to live in.

At this time, Pang Mei'er stood at the door of the yard, gave a thousand blessings ceremony, and said: "Lu Zhenren, the little girl will go to the relative's house first, thank Zhenren for taking care of him all the way."

"You're welcome." Lu Sen shook his head indifferently.

"Wait, Meier, I will go with Bilian to meet your grandmother." Yang Jinhua said suddenly.

Zhao Bilian nodded again and again.

"Aren't you two going to rest first?" Pang Mei'er was a little moved and asked.

"I'm sitting or lying down all the way, how can I be tired." Yang Jinhua stepped forward and took Pang Mei'er's hand: "We are like sisters, your grandmother is not my grandmother. I should go and see. We still need bedding in the small building, and after seeing my grandmother, Bilian and I will buy some daily necessities from the street and come back.”

Pang Meier thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

At this time, Yang Jinhua walked to Lu Sen's side and whispered, "Officer, can you allow me two or three fruits."

"Give you."

Lu Sen took out three peaches from the system backpack and put them on Yang Jinhua's white hands.

Lu Sen saves two or three fruits in the system backpack every day. After a long time, he will save five or six hundred fruits.

And there are plenty of green vegetables and two dozen bottles of honey.

It can be said that even if there is no food to eat, just eating these things is enough for a few of them to consume for a long time.

"Let's go, let's go see grandma." Yang Jinhua took Pang Mei'er's hand, and then greeted Zhao Bilian: "Hurry up and follow."

In the past, Pang Mei'er was the hidden 'leader' of the three best friends, but now, Yang Jinhua has begun to control the scene.

Noticeably calmer.

Pang Mei'er looked at the peach in Yang Jinhua's hand. Although there was no expression on her face, her eyes were obviously grateful.

During this period of time, Yang Jinhua sent three baskets of fruit to the Pang family in the name of visiting Pang Meier, but Pang Meier only ate a loquat, and the other fruits went into the mouths of the elders who were not in good health.

And it works very well.

The elders who have eaten the fruit are significantly less sick and more energetic.

Pang Meier knew that these three peaches must have been given to grandma.

Some time ago, she always felt that Yang Jinhua and Bi Lian married a man at the same time, which was a betrayal of herself, and Yang Jinhua's little movement would make her mood fluctuate sensitively.But now she was a lot less angry, and when she looked back at Yang Jinhua, she found that the other party didn't seem to have changed much.

It's just that she changed her identity, from the youngest daughter of the Yang family to the Yang family of Dwarf Mountain.

The same goes for Zhao Bilian.

It's because he likes to be angry too much.

Lu Sen watched the three girls leave, and saw that the atmosphere between the three of them was much more harmonious than before. He smiled. He was sincerely happy for Yang Jinhua and Zhao Bilian.

It's hard to know oneself in life, it's rare to have real good girlfriends, and friends who have grown up together since childhood have cultivated a more sincere and valuable relationship.

As for the safety of the three, Lu Sen was not worried.

Yang Jinhua's strength is very strong, and Pang Meier is accompanied by two masters. Under normal circumstances, no one should be able to hurt them.

Lu Sen asked Hei Zhu and Ringo to clean the small building, while he took out the fence from the system backpack and surrounded the small building.

Just like the last time he came to Hangzhou, he also vacated half an acre of system home space, just to go out and sleep at night to feel more at ease.

And the effect doesn't stop there.

Although it is still spring, Hangzhou is still very cold.

The clammy cold that seeps into the bone.

But now, as soon as the home system is put up and enclosed, the temperature of the whole small building immediately warms up to an extremely comfortable level.

Hei Zhu and Ringo, who were working in the small building, sweated for a while, and the two immediately took off their thick coats and continued to work.

After Lu Sen set up the fence, he was about to enter the small building to help, but saw four men rushing towards him.

The leader was a young man dressed as a scholar. He was not very old, at most fourteen or fifteen years old. He walked over with three men and saw Lu Sen clasping his fists and asking, "I dare to ask, but the capital of Bian is short. Shanlu real person?"

This young man's appearance, Lu Sen looked at, vaguely felt a little familiar.

He clasped his fists and replied, "I'm Lu Sen, may I ask the young man Lang Gui's surname, is there something important?"

In fact, Lu Sen looked like a handsome young man in his early sixteen or seventeen years old, but he couldn't hold back his marriage.As long as they get married, they will automatically increase their seniority.

Children often call you uncle.

Lu Sen is also the same now, so he can calmly call the person who is about the same age as him 'young man'.

"Brother-in-law!" The young man shouted happily.

Lu Sen was stunned for a moment. He recalled for a while, and said, "In my impression, neither the wife Yang nor the concubine Zhao have your younger brother."

"Like Sister Bilian, I grew up outside the mansion." The young man smiled happily: "So you are my brother-in-law, that's right."

To put it nicely, it is called 'Grow up outside the mansion', or to put it bluntly, it is 'illegitimate child'.

Lu Sen is different from the ancients. He does not discriminate in this regard, but he does not believe that the other party is Zhao Bilian's younger brother.

Someone ran over and called brother-in-law, so he has to recognize it?
Not so stupid.

"Brother-in-law?" Lu Sen looked up and down the young man and asked, "Do you have any proof?"

"Oh, look at my memory." The young man took out a wooden sign from his arms and handed it to Lu Sen: "My father sent someone over a month ago to instruct us to do everything for my brother-in-law. Prepare. An hour ago, we heard a very strange Fanggema river boat coming by the river, and we knew that it was you, brother-in-law, and we were thinking about how to find you in the city. I told us that you are here. Uncle Pan should have come to meet you in person, but he went out to transport lumber yesterday, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come back tomorrow, so I can only be my brother-in-law to wash the dust for my brother-in-law. "

Lu Sen looked at the wooden sign, handed it back to the young man, and asked, "What's your name?"

"Zhao Zonghua." The young man clasped his fists and gave a big gift: "Brother-in-law just call me Xiaohua."

"Well, Xiaohua, come in and sit." Lu Sen took the wooden sign and made a gesture of invitation.

"You wait outside." Zhao Zonghua whispered to the three strong men, then turned around and walked in with Lu Sen.

After he came in, he saw that the fence surrounding the small building was a bit strange, but when he walked into the fence and felt the warm air, he exclaimed in surprise, "Brother-in-law, this is the rumored technique of the cave."

"Yes." Lu Sen replied casually.

The first floor has been cleaned by Heizhu and Ringo, Lu Sen asked Zhao Zonghua to sit down, then took out a few fruits and put them in front of Zhao Zonghua, and said, "I just arrived here, I have nothing to entertain you, so I can only ask You have eaten some fruit."

Looking at the fresh peaches, Zhao Zonghua blinked and asked in surprise, "Brother-in-law, is this the peach tree that you secretly transplanted from the sky to the world, and the peach on earth that grew?"

"It is indeed a peach planted in my house, but a peach tree transplanted from the sky to the world?" Lu Sen felt a little surprised when he heard it: "How can there be such an outrageous rumor?"

"But I listened to the people who came from Bianjing City. People who have eaten Xiantao from my brother-in-law's house recovered from serious illnesses without medicine. Even with just one breath, they could be rescued. It's a pity that there is too little fairy energy in this world. The effect of [-]% of the peach." Zhao Zonghua shook his head and said: "Otherwise people eat it, they should be able to directly get the immortal's body."

"Oh, it's really outrageous." Lu Sen shook his head and said, "This peach does have the effect of healing people's diseases, but it's not an elixir."

"It is already very powerful to be able to heal the sufferings of the world." Zhao Zonghua looked at the peaches in front of him, looking very excited, and then he asked cautiously, "Brother-in-law, can I take these peaches home and let my mother taste them? ? She has suffered a lot in order to raise me these years, and her body and bones are very poor. I want to make up for her."

"Of course you can."

Lu Sen smiled.

He has already discovered that when outsiders get his raw vegetables or fruits, the first reaction is to give the elders to eat and treat the elders.

Whether it was the Pang family, the Yang family, Ouyang Xiu, or the young man in front of him, this was the case.

This should be the embodiment of the ancients' emphasis on filial piety.

Hearing Lu Sen's promise, the young man laughed so hard that his eyes could hardly be opened.

At this time, Lu Sen also found out what Zhao Shihua felt familiar to him. It turned out that his eyebrows were very similar to the young version of Runan County King.

"By the way!" Zhao Zonghua touched the peach with his hand, and suddenly remembered something: "Brother-in-law, I wonder if you have heard of the Donghai Penglai Saint Immortal Sect?"

Lu Sen waved his hand gently: "I'm not familiar with Jianghu."

"Last month, some people from Donghai Penglai Shengxianmen came to Hangzhou to make trouble, saying that they wanted to take away Ouyang Chun's position as the leader of the army. I also suffered a bit of a loss, the moves of those Saint Immortals are very... miraculous." Zhao Zonghua said in a low voice: "They also said that Donghai Penglai is a sect of cultivation techniques, and brother-in-law, you are from the same sect, but different sects. That's it."
