Compete for the Song Dynasty

As soon as Dai Zong entered the door, he saw Wang Pang stepping forward to salute and said, "My lord, you are here. I have been here for two or three days, and I was wondering where to find you."

Wang Pang laughed and said, "No wonder it's Shenxing Taibao, one person is faster than us two horses."

"Shen Xing Tai Bao?" Shi Qian beside him asked curiously, "Is this the nickname of Big Brother Dai?"

Dai Zong hurriedly said: "What nickname, the prince is too proud."

Wang Pang shook his head, did he give this nickname to him?I heard Dai Zong say again: "I went to see the military official book as soon as I came. He also knew that you were going to Qinghe County, so he specially said hello to the hotels and posthouses along the way. Once I see you two, I will inform him. I I also heard what he said, and it is estimated that he will arrive in a while." [

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Wu Ling to come to the inn. Before he entered the room, he heard the greeting from the shopkeeper and the waiter: "Wu Lishu, your guests are waiting upstairs." It was the sound of the stairs, Wu Ling ran up almost all the way, and saw Wang Pang sitting upright at the door, Wu Ling came to Wang Pang in three steps and took two steps, and pulled Wang Pang close to him, even a little choked up.

Wang Pang was also very excited in his heart, this is the brother who was born and died together on the battlefield.Seeing that Wu is nearly forty years old, his hair and beard are a little gray, and he disappeared after more than ten years, he can't help but sigh in his heart.

"Sit down quickly! Sit down fast! Shi Qian, hurry up and offer tea to the military official Shu." Wang Pang hurriedly ordered.

"My lord, why did you come here? We are so anxious to wait."

"Passing through Liangshanbo on the way, I just happened to catch up with Ruan Xing's family, which delayed my trip for a few days. Tell me, how have you been these past few years?"

"Even if it's okay, but I always feel that I didn't have fun doing things when I was with the prince."

"How is the family? How is Wu Nan?" Wang Bang asked with concern.

"The family lives in peace and stability. My father-in-law was originally the magistrate of this county, but now he has resigned. Fortunately, trusting the county magistrate is also considered sympathetic to the people at the old yamen's gate. Am I still the official secretary? Wu Nan is also an adult Now, if you marry a daughter-in-law and have your own business, when you can give birth to a son and a half, you can bring your sister-in-law to take care of you." Wu Ling said cheerfully, it seems that life is not bad .

Wang Pang thought that it would be inappropriate to call Wu Ling to go with him as soon as he arrived. After all, Wu Ling has already married and established a business. Thinking of this, he nodded and said: "It is also his blessing that Wu Nan has an uncle like you." , your elder brother Wu Su also worked for this king back then, but unfortunately he left earlier. What kind of business does this kid Wu Nan do now? Should he follow me to do it?"

Wu Ling laughed: "Small business, I opened a porridge and cake shop in the county town, and it's pretty good. It's not good to follow the prince. You can't let the prince eat porridge and cook cakes."

Wang Pang also chuckled, but when he heard about cooking cakes once, he thought that the surname of this family happened to be Wu, so he asked, "Are there many people with the surname Wu who make cooking cakes in Qinghe County?"

"Don't talk about cooking cakes, our family is the only one with the surname Wu in Qinghe County, so it's very easy to find us here."

When Wang Pang heard this, his heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked again: "Then Wu Ling, do you have any heirs?"

Wu Ling smiled embarrassedly and said, "My lord is laughing, my son Wu Song is six years old this year."

Wang Pang almost jumped up from his chair: "Your son's name is Wu Song?"

Wu Ling was taken aback and asked with a blank face: "What? Is this name not good? Why don't the prince change it?!"

"Okay! How can you change the name casually?! Very good, very good!"

This frowned and said it was very good, everyone wondered what happened to the prince.There was nothing wrong with Wang Pang, he just thought that when he came to the Song Dynasty, he thought it was going to be a drama of reform, but he didn't expect that the future people would stir up and it would become a prequel of the Water Margin.

He suddenly thought of another matter and asked: "Which family's daughter did Wu Nan marry?"

"This girl's maiden name is Pan!"

Wang Pang grinned, this time he sprained.Hearing Wu Ling say again: "This was originally a small business and opened a porridge shop. Wu Nan learned the craft and baked pancakes next door. When he came and went to the porridge shop, the shopkeeper Pan saw that Wu Nan was honest and kind. It just so happened that there was a ruffian in the county who asked Pan. If the family proposes marriage, Shopkeeper Pan would rather marry his daughter to Wu Nan than marry that ruffian."

"Is this also related to Wu Ling, what you do at the gate of the yamen?"

"My lord, what you said is really wrong. I have taken care of me at the gate of the yamen, and the young couple will not suffer a loss. After the girl passed the gate, the two families opened this porridge and cake shop together, and the business is getting better and better. My eldest brother If there is a spirit in the sky, you can feel at ease."

Wang's listening was really up and down, although the names were right, but the fate may not be the same after the previous experience is different.Several people chatted for a while, and Wu Ling said: "My lord, you will be wronged here tonight. The road is not easy to walk in this snowy night. I will pick you up in the county seat tomorrow morning!"

"Alright, by the way, let me ask again, is there a family with the double surname Ximen in Qinghe County?"

"Yes!" Wu Ling replied very simply.

"Are you sure?"

Wu Ling thought for a while: "My lord, Qinghe County is such a big place. Although I have been in charge of official promotion for many years, all the big and small households in the county know about it. They have all kinds of surnames. There is a man named Simon."

Now Wang Pang felt relieved, he laughed and said, "It's best if you have it."

Seeing Wang Pang's weird smile, Wu Ling was curious but it was inconvenient to ask more questions, thinking that the prince had been separated for 14 years, and it was normal to not understand some things.

Early the next morning, Wang Pang and others went to Qinghe County. The county is not very big, but it is densely populated.There are six towns under the jurisdiction of the county, and the county seat is located in the six towns, and the county seat is oval.The inner and outer sides of the city wall are built with seven layers, the middle is rammed with earth, and hundreds of feet of ash are used to seal the roof. It is 1 feet high and 3 feet wide. .Yamen, temples, and theater buildings in the county are quite prosperous.North and South Lion Road, East and West Zishi Street, divide the city into east, west, north and south.

"Is Wu Nan's porridge and pancake shop right here on Zishi Street?" Wang Pang asked thinking of Wu Dalang's residence in Water Margin.

Wu Nan smiled and said: "The prince is thinking about Wu Nan, if he knows, he will be very happy. You are really right, but it is still early, if you want to taste the skills of their young couple, you have to wait It was an hour ago. Why don't you take a small seat first and recognize your own door."

Wang Pang also laughed, thinking that Wu Dalang's cooking cakes are famous, but he wants to see if the daughter-in-law of Wu Dalang named Pan is virtuous and virtuous. Wait for Wu Song to appear.But thinking about it again, Wu Song is just six years old now, and that daughter-in-law is ten years older than Wu Song, and this will have to wait until Wu Song becomes an adult, and Pan Jinlian is also half-old, so there is no talk of hooking up or not.

During the conversation, a few people came to Wu Ling's house, Wu Ling was only the official secretary of the county, and the six houses in the county government office were not considered officials hand-picked by the imperial court.The staff of the Sixth Office of the Fuya are called "Sadian", "Book Official", "Book Office", "Book Service", "Subsidiary" and so on.The staff of Liufang all have salaries and work and food silver, and can only rely on meager paper and pen fees, copying fees, and food expenses to survive. Therefore, they can only rely on seeking various self-interests to make up for their low income.Among these positions, the official office is in charge of officials, has power and power, and works under the direct leadership of the county magistrate.So there are often some rewards, and there are many people who flatter, so the income is still moderate and can be maintained.But Wu Ling is upright by nature, disdains to make a living by self-interest, and his father-in-law is considered a clean official, so his house looks a bit shabby.

The courtyard wall is one person high, and there are three main rooms in the courtyard. The side room in the courtyard is the kitchen or the storage of sundries.The six or seven-year-old child was waving a broom that was as tall as him, struggling to clear the snow from the road from the courtyard to the main house.Hearing the sound of the courtyard door, he looked up and saw Wu Ling returning with three or four people, so he threw down the broom and called his father to come back, then ran over.

The woman greeted her from the room: "But the lord has arrived, and the house is poor, please come to the lord quickly!"

Wu Ling didn't care much about this simple house: "Hurry up and boil the water, and go to the tea house to buy some good tea."

The woman seemed to have something to say, Wang Pang saw the slight difficulty on her face and smiled and said: "They are not outsiders, Dai Zong can trouble you to go there sooner." He took out some money and handed it to Dai Zong, and looked down at the woman. The child who hugged Wu Ling's crotch: "Is this Xiao Wu Song?"

Wu Ling only said that Wang Pang said that his son was young, so he smiled and said: "The child is naughty, and he fights with the neighbor's children as soon as he goes out. No one is his opponent, two or three years old. I will let the mother-in-law watch him so as not to cause trouble." .”

"What trouble can a six-year-old child cause?" Wang Pang patted Wu Song on the head. [

"My lord doesn't know, I sealed the eyes of the neighbor's child a few days ago, and now the child's eyes are still blue! This child!" Wu Ling complained, but his eyes were full of smiles.

"Who told him to laugh at my brother?! I'm weak now. When I grow up, I'll unscrew his head!" Xiao Wusong lifted up his baggy cotton trousers, showing dissatisfaction.

"This child knows how to fight and kill, but he really looks like your father!" The woman whispered.

Wu Ling laughed loudly: "Of course my son will follow me. When you grow up, let him go to war with the lord! Please come to the room, lord, don't stand in the courtyard and talk!"

Wang Pang had mixed feelings in his heart, he looked younger at three years old and looked older at seven years old, Wu Song's ruthlessness had already begun to show signs at such a young age.Tong Yanji, a child, really likes this tiger-headed child Wang Pang from the bottom of his heart.He followed Wu Ling towards the main room, seeing that the snow had already fallen ankle-deep this night, he ordered, "Shi Qian, play with Wu Song for a while and build him a snowman."

"Snowman? What is it?" Shi Qian looked bewildered.

Hearing this, Wu Ling stopped at the door: "That's right, it was more than ten years ago when we made snowmen, and at that time we built snowmen for us and moved forward. of."

Wang Pang also had old things flashing before his eyes, thinking that it might not be suitable to drag Wu Ling to follow him like this, and it would be good to review it, so he rolled up his sleeves and said, "Let's make another one."

When Dai Zong came back, a big snowman had been piled up at the entrance of Wang's Wuling Shiqian, which was in full swing. Wu Song was standing in the snow, clapping his hands and laughing, while three or five neighbors stuck their heads out to watch.When the snowman was finished, Wang Pang put the broom on the snowman and clapped his hands: "It's finished, let's drink tea!" Several people laughed and went back to the room to drink tea and chat.

At noon, Wu Ling took Wang Pang to Wu Nan's porridge and cake shop, and Wang Pang was happy as soon as he left.The surrounding neighbors followed their example and built snowmen of different sizes.
