Compete for the Song Dynasty

Wang Pang was a little surprised to see the mansion early in the morning. Seeing the visitor staring blankly at his breakfast, it seemed that he probably came on an empty stomach.Wang Pang asked with a smile, "Have Mr. Su eaten? Haven't eaten a piece?"

The visitor smiled: "Young Master Su Wen has a way of eating and drinking. Since the Young Master invites you kindly, then I, Su, will not be polite." After finishing speaking, he sat down generously. "

"Come here, serve Mr. Su breakfast." Wang Pang ordered.

Lu Shenyan stayed there with his mouth open, usually there were quite a few people coming in and out of the house, and occasionally friends came to eat together in time for dinner, but this was someone who came to the house early in the morning and didn't usually know each other. , This is the first time that we sit down and have breakfast together.

"What are you doing in a daze?!" Seeing Lu Shenyan in a daze, Wang Pang asked with a smile. [

Lu Shenyan hurriedly took the bowls and chopsticks for Mr. Su, and filled the porridge and rice.Mr. Su raised his nose and sniffed it, took a spoonful of porridge lightly with a spoon, blew it and put it in his mouth, the salty aroma was different from the usual porridge and rice, and he couldn't help but tasted two more mouthfuls.

Lu Shenyan walked up to Wang Pang, imitating Mr. Su holding a spoon with a half-smile, secretly gestured at Wang Pang, Wang Pang had already seen it, Mr. Su's thumb and index finger were holding the handle of the spoon, while his ring finger and little finger were knocking. It is clear that this is a woman picking up flowers.The entourage beside Young Master Su glared at Lu Shenyan, and touched her Young Master with his hand.

Wang Pang pretended not to see the two people's actions, thinking that it was strange that they came here, and saw that he was still wolfing down without losing his composure.When Mr. Su put down his chopsticks, Wang Pang asked: "Is this Mr. Su from the capital? I just heard that Mr. Su is very interested in this Mayer Mansion. I wonder what Mr. Su has doubts about?"

Someone came to look at Wang. Just now he clearly said that he wanted to negotiate the price. This young prince can pretend to be stupid: "Su Xiaonai is from Meizhou. This time I plan to live in Beijing, so I want to find a mansion. See Wang Gongzi just posted a notice on this house, so he came to find a price."

"En!" Wang Pang nodded: "It is also necessary for a man to set up a family and buy a property. To be able to look at the mansion of this mansion is also the son's insight. The price has just been told to Mr. Su by Director Lu. I don't know what else you don't understand? "

Su Xiao said: "Su Xiao originally came here for fame, and the prince's reputation must not be different from this mansion, but the price..."

Wang Pang said with a smile: "The capital is worth every inch of land. Since Mr. Su also knows that this mansion is not bad, there is naturally no room for negotiation on the price."

"This..." Su Xiao hesitated for a moment. Obviously, he was not a master at negotiating prices, and he didn't know where to start when he wanted to negotiate prices.

Wang Bang didn't care about his tricks: "If Mr. Su didn't think about it, then go back and think about it again?!"

Hearing what Wang Pang said, Su Xiao just took a walk around, the house is very pleasant, but he still feels that the price of 500 taels of gold is a bit high, not because he can't afford it, but because he doesn't have any room to bargain.

"My lord, the price is not a one-time price. Besides, there is nothing wrong with this house. There should be room for it." Su Xiao said after a long while.

Originally, Wang Bang also knew that this house was not a one-off price, and he had a bottom line in his heart, but he saw that Su Xiao was very interesting, so he didn't rush to negotiate the price: "That's good, if Mr. Su finds a suitable reason and tells the problem of this house, How about we talk about it?"

"Then let me think about it," Su Xiao said.

Anyway, there are still some things to do in the capital, and there is no rush, Wang Pang said: "Okay, since Mr. Su is so sincere, I will make an exception and give Mr. Su three days. If Mr. Su does not give Wang an answer within three days If not, Wang will find another buyer, okay?"

"Then it's settled. I'll think about it for three days before I reply to the young master. Su is leaving." Su Xiaoxiao stood up.

"Don't be in a hurry! You haven't finished your breakfast yet!" Wang Pang greeted.

Su Xiao looked at the king, looked at the breakfast, sat down again, and ate slowly without making a sound, and the attendant handed over the handkerchief.Su Xiao wiped the corner of his mouth and said: "Thank you, Mr. Wang, I want to know, what are the black and brown things in this porridge?"

Wang Pang knew that Su Xiao must have never seen this thing before, so he said solemnly: "This is called a preserved egg. It is a stolen egg laid by a duck god who has practiced for thousands of years. The egg white is brown and the yolk is black. This is a good thing for health. Why? Like? Does it taste good?"

Su Xiao nodded in admiration, "It's really good, but where can I steal the eggs of the duck god who has practiced for thousands of years?" [

"This is a secret that must not be leaked. It's okay to steal one or two occasionally. If the world knows it, it will be troublesome. But seeing that you and I are destined today, I will tell you that there is a Shuangta Mountain in Liao Kingdom. The god duck In 100 years, I flew to the top of the two boulders in Shuangta Mountain to lay a nest of eggs, and I got it by accident." Wang Pang said that he was in awe, and he himself endured it, pretending to be serious.

Su Xiao suddenly realized: "Oh! I also heard that Prince Wang built twin pagodas on the boulder in Liao Kingdom. This is not only an amazing move, but also such unexpected gains. It seems that I did not come in vain today."

Wang Pang snickered in his heart, your breakfast is very expensive, it could have cost you a hundred taels of gold, but one or two preserved eggs would do the trick.

Su Xiao recalled the adventure in Wang Pang, and the delicacy of eating preserved egg and lean meat porridge by chance, thinking about how to find fault with Wang Pang's mansion, and left thoughtfully.

But Lu Shenyan couldn't bear it any longer. As soon as Su Xiao left, Lu Shenyan covered his stomach and laughed: "My lord, what do you think? The duck eggs you asked to be burned with lime and plant ash can be said to be made by the gods of ducks. How about that?" How could the Duck God still fly to the boulder on the mountain?"

"Hey, it's not uncommon for the god duck among ducks to be able to fly!" Wang Pang said so, and he couldn't help laughing.

They were chatting and laughing, Zhe Kejun, He Xingyuan, Wu Ling and others came to the hall one after another, seeing Wang Pang and Lu Shenyan laughing, they looked at Wang Pang and Lu Shenyan blankly.

Lu Shenyan recounted what happened just now, and everyone burst into laughter.Wu Ling said to He Xingyuan: "Master, you see how capable Wang Shilang is. The lime we get can not only build walls, but also burn eggs. He doesn't say that the burnt eggs are made of lime, but that they were made by gods." You really don’t need to talk about it, as for the Shuangta Mountain in Liao Kingdom, without the frame that my son put up, you can only fly up like a duck.”

After everyone laughed, Lu Shenyan filled a big bowl for himself and said, "I've been busy since I got up this morning. This young master came really early, and I'm also in the glory of this god duck."

Wang Pang had finished his breakfast at this time, and when Lu Shenyan mentioned it, he asked, "What is the origin of this Mr. Su? Do you know, Steward Lu?"

"Hi! He said it was from Su Pingshi's mansion, but if he said that Su Pingshi and the young master were old friends. Why did such a sissy come out of the mansion." Xiao Lu said while gesturing to Su Xiao holding a spoon.

"Su Pingshi? Which Su Pingshi?" Wang Pang looked at Lu Shenyan and asked.

Lu Shanyan said: "It's that Su Zizhan, who used to make cloud picking with the young master. When you went to Xixia two years ago, his father died of illness in Bianjing, and Su Zizhan Dingyou went back to his hometown to support the funeral."

"What is Ding You?" Now it was Wang's turn to be confused.

He Xingyuan had already put down the bowls and chopsticks at this time, and he said to everyone: "My son has been saying some weird words to everyone recently, and there are things you don't know if you dare to love. This Ding You is an ancestral system. Specifically, it is the parents of court officials. After death, no matter what official or position the person is in, he must return to his ancestral home for 27 months from the day he learns about the funeral, this is called Ding You."

Wang Pang immediately understood that the feeling was that Su Shi and Su Zizhan had come back, so who came to see the mansion?I haven't seen this person before, is it the real mother or the fake son?This thing is a bit interesting.But I learned another word, Ding You.

After breakfast, Wang Pang invited everyone to discuss matters in the wing room, and Wang Pang looked at him eagerly when he saw everyone sitting upright.Wang Pang ordered Lu Shenyan to give each of them two coins. Everyone held the coins and looked at each other, not knowing what Wang Pang was going to do again.

Zhang Ping put all the money on the table and said: "Young master, we have been taking money with you. Now we all know that there is no business in the house, but we are willing to follow you. If you don't give us money, we have a lot of savings." , Are you going to dismiss us by giving so much all at once?"

Wang Bang smiled and said: "What are you talking about? If I want to dismiss, why don't I make it clear to King Ying when King Ying mentioned it? These are travel expenses and New Year's money, and the Chinese New Year is only a month or two away, Zheke Jun, Zhang Ping, Han Derong, Cai Jing and you guys are going back to your hometown for the New Year, you and I haven’t had a good holiday for so long, this time we have a big holiday, you will come back after the first lunar month.”

Wang Pang then said to He Xingyuan and Wu Ling: "Both of you can go back to Xixia to meet with the masters and apprentices. Manager He will leave the Xixia matter to the old man. Before the salt harvesting season next year, I will go to Xixia to meet you."

He Xingyuan hurriedly said: "My lord is too polite, this is something I should do well."

Wang Pang also thanked Jiao Deyou: "The eldest brother has a lot of money, and he and the younger brother have shared weal and woe through life and death. Wang is very grateful." [

Jiao Deyou said: "What wealth do I have? Those boats and the dock are the dowry left for the girl. I am willing to work with my brother. Firstly, I feel happy. Secondly, I am also a rough person. If I can help my brother make it Great things are also my creation."

Wang Pang finally said: "It is thanks to everyone that Wang can be today. There are still some important matters to be done in the capital. I will go back to Jiangning with my brother when the affairs of Jinxiang Mansion are settled. Wa Zhuang will go with me After that, I will be entrusted by Zeng Xiangzhi to go to Guangnan. Everyone will take care of themselves in the past few days. Before leaving, I will personally practice for everyone."

Lu Shenyan asked: "Can you really give Mr. Su three days?"

"Of course! But don't worry, I guess Su Xiao has bought this house!" Wang Pang said confidently.
