Water Margin people

Chapter 1406 Wu Song Resigns

"What happened to the little tiger-fighting hero?"

Sun Lei smiled and touched Wu Xuan's little head and asked, "It seems that Wu Song is taking the baby out for a walk today, but Wu Song's rough personality makes it difficult for him to lead a child."

"Father wants to send me to school!"

Wu Xuan quickly pointed at Wu Song and said that he knew Sun Lei was his father's brother and his father had to listen to what he said.

"School is a good place, why don't you want to go?"

Sun Lei asked with a smile.

"I want to play at home. If I go to school, I have to memorize books and write big characters. It's not fun at all!"

Wu Xuan said with a pout.

"Reading and learning how to read are such good things, why don't you want to go?"

Wu Song pulled his son over and scolded him with a stern face.

"I don't...I want to practice martial arts at home. My uncle said that my father also practiced martial arts at home!"

Wu Xuan pouted and said unconvincedly.

Wu Song's face turned black. His dark history was actually known by his son and was spoken out in public. He not only practiced martial arts at home, but also had a bad temper and acted recklessly. He often fought with others in Qinghe County, causing trouble and even getting into lawsuits. As a result, Wu Dalang often went to the government office to get into lawsuits. Later, he mistakenly thought that he had killed someone and fled to Cangzhou.

Wu Song used to think he was fearless, and it would be a joke if these scandals were revealed.

But now Wu Song couldn't stand it anymore. He would never let his son know these things. It was too shameful. He felt that he should be a tall and upright father, not a street fighting hooligans.

Wu Xuan held his mouth tightly and his eyes turned red as he was about to cry. He felt very wronged that his father didn't "love" him at all.

"There's no point in crying. I think you're just itching for trouble. Go to school tomorrow!"

Wu Song's face darkened as he slapped the chair next to him. The solid wood chair instantly broke into pieces. He absolutely could not bear to see his child follow his old path.

The shop owner was startled by the noise, but looking at the chair that had turned into pieces, he didn't dare to step forward. He could only hide behind the counter and watch, thinking about how to go out and report to the police, hoping that these people would not smash the shop.

Sun Lei took out a small piece of silver from his pocket and threw it directly over. The shopkeeper took the silver and immediately smiled. He didn't care if the shop was burned down as long as the money was in place.

Lu Zhishen was helpless watching all this. It was right for Wu Song to teach the child a lesson and to let the child go to school. He could only take a sip of the wine bowl, then secretly touched Sun Lei's arm, trying to find a way to help Sun Lei.

"What are you doing!"

Sun Lei didn't want to get involved in this matter. His own children seemed to like going to school very much, and he heard that they had a lot of fun.

"You try it, don't you see my nephew is crying?"

Lu Zhishen lowered his voice and said that although Wu Xuan did not cry out loud, her tears as big as beans were dripping down, which looked pitiful.

"Xiao Xuan, there's nothing wrong with going to school. There are kids there, and it's fun to play together. Besides, there's more to school than just memorizing and writing characters. You can also practice martial arts, play football, and play games. Look, haven't Sun Yao and Sun Yao both gone to school..."

Sun Lei pulled Wu Xuan over to comfort him. Wu Song was a rough man who only knew how to use his hands to educate his children. But if everything could be solved with a slap, then nothing would be difficult in the world.

After Sun Lei talked for a while, Wu Xuan stopped crying immediately and even had some longing for school. Children like lively occasions and who can refuse to have fun with a group of peers? Finally, Sun Lei asked the vendor at the door to bring him a candied haws. This combination of punches completely made the little guy happy.

"Brother, I really am..." Wu Song drank several bowls of wine in a row. Raising a child is more difficult than fighting a tiger.

"It's a technical job to coax a child, you can't just slap him!"

Sun Lei said while looking at Wu Song with a smile.

"That's enough, Erlang is not as cunning as you! This kid seems hard to coax!"

Lu Zhishen helped Wu Song out of the predicament, but both he and Wu Song were rough men and had no idea how to coax a child.

"Brother, I want to resign!"

Wu Song drank another large bowl of wine and then looked at Sun Lei and whispered.

"Resign? What do you mean?"

Sun Lei looked at Wu Song and asked, now Wu Song is still the commander of the imperial guards and the commander of the infantry. With his military achievements, he can be conferred the title of marquis and the rank of general in a while.

"Brother, I haven't received much education, and I don't know how to be an official. The only thing I did was to be a captain for half a year, but I'm not proficient in this job. Li Yun does it better than me. All I know is fighting."

"But now that the war has ended, I don't have the chance to charge into battle. I'm also not used to sitting in the government office. After thinking it over, I decided to take the initiative to resign. If you need me in the future, I will come to help you!"

Wu Song looked at Sun Lei seriously and said.

Lu Zhishen looked at Wu Song, then at Sun Lei, and had the same idea in his mind. He also didn't like sitting in the yamen. He was now the Privy Councilor, and almost all the affairs of the Ministry of War had to be handled by him. Fortunately, he had pushed them all to Zhu Wu, but this couldn't always be the case.

"Haha, Erlang, since ancient times, brothers have fought together to conquer the world, but in the end they all felt that their positions were too low. You are still the first one to resign!"

Sun Lei looked at Wu Song and said that Wu Song was a very straightforward person. He did not like to keep things in his heart and could not stand other people's cold words, so he was the first Liangshan brother to point out that he was not suitable to be an official.

"Brother, I never thought of becoming an official. I followed you just to make a career. Now that the world has been settled, I can't help you much, so it's better to retire now!"

Wu Song shook his head and said that he was not the kind of person who liked to be an official, nor was he the kind of person who was greedy for power, and he would not do anything to fight for power and profit.

"You don't have to worry so much. I don't mean to force you to sit in the court. In fact, you can feel that the heads of the various government offices don't need to sit in the court every day to handle affairs. You just need to make simple coordination."

Sun Lei looked at Wu Song and said that the political system of Qi was different from that of the previous dynasties. Government affairs were subdivided, and officials at all levels would handle their own government affairs. When they finally came together, there was not much difficulty. It was just a matter of making a decision or sending it back for re-discussion.

"But if this happens, won't I just be a useless person?"

Wu Song said hesitantly. He couldn't stand that kind of contempt. He still remembered what happened to him at Chai Jin's house.

"Who told you to just sit there and eat? Are your achievements in fighting for the country fake? Besides, you are an upright person and loyal to me. I feel more at ease with you around, right? It takes brothers to fight tigers!"

Sun Lei looked at Wu Song and smiled.

These words completely made Wu Song give up the idea of ​​resigning. The world was complicated and he couldn't leave Sun Lei to enjoy himself at this time. Even if he didn't know how to be an official, he could still support Sun Lei by his side.

"But you really have to stay home more, you still have to look after the child!"

Sun Lei pointed at Wu Xuan and said, when Wu Song was not at home, Pan Jinlian was the one taking care of the children. Pan Jinlian was not very knowledgeable and only knew how to spoil the children. There was no need to mention Wu Dalang, the uncle, who devoted himself to selling pancakes.
