Compete for the Song Dynasty

Wang Pang ate voraciously, seeing Su Xiaomei not moving his chopsticks, he urged: "Eat quickly, it will be cold in a while!"

Su Xiaomei lowered her head, twisting the handkerchief with her hands, muttering in a low voice. "Just know how to eat, people come to see you..."

Only then did Wang Pang turn around. He had been busy at the bank all morning, and his time and space were almost "disordered".It was as if he had returned to the modern life. Even when Su Xiaomei came to visit him, he almost forgot that this was in the Song Dynasty.If it were in modern times, it would be casual for girlfriends to eat and talk.He hurriedly put down his chopsticks: "Miss Su, you came just in time, I have something to tell you!"

"Let's talk!" Su Xiaomei didn't look at Wang's side, she still lowered her head.

"Well, I, I took Rou'er as a concubine." After Wang Pang finished speaking, he observed Su Xiaomei's expression.Unexpectedly, Su Xiaomei didn't raise her head: "This matter is all up to the young master." It seems that he doesn't care about Wang Pang taking Rou'er as a concubine.In fact, Su Xiaomei already knew about the situation in Wang's residence.I've seen Rou'er earlier, which man doesn't have three wives and four concubines?This did not go beyond Su Xiaomei's expectation. [

Wang Pang was somewhat relieved now, and he continued: "There is one more thing, I have been thinking about it for the past few days. You see, our marriage is settled, but it will probably take a year and a half before I go to Yongzhou. Besides If I were to marry you before going to Yongzhou, the matchmaker would have said yes, but my parents are not in the capital, so it's too late to pick them up now."

Su Xiaomei's heart skipped a beat, and her face flushed immediately. Seeing that Wang Bang still had something to say, he probably said that he would make her wait for a year and a half.

Seeing the change in Su Xiaomei's expression, Wang Pang guessed that Xiaomei was thinking wrong, so he handed Xiaomei's food box to Xiaomei again: "You eat first, and listen to me while eating!"

How could Su Xiaomei have the heart to eat: "Young master, you can just say it straight."

Wang Pang said with a smile: "Now there is a bank matter, delay me to stay in the capital for a few more days, I want to find a time to discuss with you, let's travel and get married?"

"Traveling for marriage?" Su Xiaomei raised her head, her big watery eyes looked at Wang in confusion.

"That's right, with so many things going on right now, there's no time to get married. Why don't I take you around, and then set up a few banquets in Linchuan~"

Wang Bang said, Su Xiaomei pursed her lips, feeling a little unhappy.For Wang Pang, the marriage was not a big deal at first, but for Su Xiaomei, it was the first time for an older girl to get on a sedan chair, how could it be done so casually?

Seeing that Su Xiaomei didn't say anything, Wang Pang also guessed what Su Xiaomei was thinking. Although he also had some affection for Su Xiaomei, but if he made a big show, it would arouse his own thoughts.He sighed and said: "I had something to say first, so I won't set up the court, but Miss Su is a chivalrous person, and she cares about the tea farmers in Sichuan. I really admire her. I also believe that Miss Su can be my good wife, so I said it." My true thoughts. Of course, if you don't want to, you can wait for me to come back from Yongzhou and then do the wedding."

Su Xiaomei's heart was full of ups and downs, and what Wang Pang said was true. Besides, even his elder brother Su Shi was a man of informality, and most of Su Shi's friends were also like this.What's more, Wang Pang said it sincerely, and he wanted to wait, but he didn't know how long he would wait.She picked up the chopsticks to hold the food in the food box, and said shyly, "Then it depends on your travel or something."

Hearing that the younger sister agreed, Wang Pang became happy. Now as long as things go well, he feels very happy: "Since you agreed, it will be March soon, and Li Bai's fireworks in Tang Dynasty will go down to Yangzhou in March. It must be misty and rainy." The beauty is limited. Why don't I take you to Yangzhou for a trip first."

Su Xiaomei had a smile on her face when she heard what Wang Pang said. She is not a person who wants to talk about ostentation, besides, her parents are no longer there. With Su Shi making the decision and being able to marry her wishful husband, she doesn't care about those details .The two decided that in a few days, Wang Pang would send a sedan chair to pick up the younger sister at Mayer's Mansion, and then entertain the people in the mansion at the Zhennan Palace to celebrate, which would be a simple wedding.

Wang Pang said that going to Yangzhou was not a sudden idea. Yangzhou is the first county on Huainan East Road, and it is close to the East China Sea.Wang Pang also wants to set up some banks and his own sea transportation organization in Yangzhou, so that the turnover and transportation will be much faster than going directly inland.And now that Shen Kuo is working as a manager in Yangzhou to join the army, he has long wanted to go but has never had the chance.

The bank was operating normally soon, and according to the agreement, Wang Pang took Su Xiaomei over to the mansion, and held a banquet at the mansion to celebrate.Although he didn't want to hold a lot of banquets, it was full of guests, even the current emperor Song Yingzong sent his prince Zhao Xu to send congratulatory gifts.

Su Xiaomei has officially passed the door, and this time I will take her around, so I won't be afraid of gossip.After the banquet, Wang Pang went back to the bedroom, thinking of his own experience, he even married Su Xiaomei when he came to the Song Dynasty, I am afraid that this is also a pleasure from time travel.

The next day, Wang Pang notified everyone that they were leaving on the same day: Lu Shenyan was in the capital, and Li Enxi took care of them; He Xingyuan led the team, Cai Jing and Wu Ling first went to Yongzhou, and then Yongzhou site selection, training bank employment, etc.; Hou Shuxian led the team, Chen Kang, Jiao Deyou Waiting for someone to go to Linchuan, I also prepared similar things, and at the same time brought a letter to my father Wang Anshi, and I will bring Su Xiaomei back to Linchuan on the tenth and a half months in the evening.Wang Pang himself went to Yangzhou with Su Xiaomei, with Zhe Kejun and others as guards.

After the arrangements were made, Wang Pang called Tong Guan to the study and told him to listen to Rou'er more.Seeing that Wang Pang didn't take him to Yongzhou, Tong Guan pouted with displeasure on his face: "It's no fun in the capital, by the way, Dad, didn't you marry a new wife? His brother's book boy, Cuju is good. How about... tell the bride to bring that bookboy to accompany me, okay?"

When Tong Guan said this, Wang Pang remembered that Su Shi's book boy named Gao Qi had come, and Wang Pang was really hesitant about this matter. He raised his face and said, "Look at He Zhu, it's better to study hard and work harder. Just let them play with you." Don't say that Wang Pang can't ask Su Shi for Gao Qi now, even if he wants to come, Wang Pang has to take good care of him.Like looking at Tong Guan and Cai Jing.

When everything was settled, the king took Su Xiaomei to set off, and in a carriage sat the newcomer Su Xiaomei and the maid who served her personally.Beside the king was Zhe Kejun, the leader of Han Derong's personal bodyguards, and behind him were a dozen bodyguards from the Zhennan Palace who were heading towards Yangzhou. [

At this time, it was full of spring, and a group of people stayed overnight at dawn. When it was getting late, Wang listened to the report from the guards who were exploring the road ahead. Not far ahead was the county town of Gaoyou, and there was still a day away from Yangzhou. itinerary.Gaoyou, this place name sounds very familiar, Wang Pang suddenly remembered that in Linchuan, Wu Chong once praised the county magistrate of Gaoyou, and said that the county magistrate had betrothed his daughter.The county magistrate's son-in-law is Qin Guan, a well-known young talent in the local area. Wang Pang can remember this clearly.

Just as he was hesitating whether to enter the county seat, a guard who was exploring the way came back and reported: "My lord, Xu Liang, the magistrate of Gaoyou County, is waiting at the city gate to take you into the city."

Wang Pang thought to himself, the county magistrate is very well informed, they came to the gate of Gaoyou County with a group of people, and sure enough, they saw the county magistrate with people from the government office at the gate of the city.Seeing Wang Pang, the magistrate of Gaoyou County, felt familiar, but for a while, he couldn't remember where he had seen him.

Xu Liang, the magistrate of Gaoyou County, brought Wang Pang and others to the government office, and the greetings were flattering all the way.The residence prepared by Gaoyou County Magistrate for Wang Pang is also a large courtyard, and it can be seen that sufficient preparations and arrangements have been made before. "I don't know if King Zhennan is satisfied with the arrangement of the next official. You rest first. I will entertain King Zhennan at the mansion tomorrow." Gaoyou County Magistrate said and retreated.

Seeing him go out, Wang Pang heaved a sigh of relief. He tried his best to avoid socializing along the way. Unexpectedly, the county magistrate of Gaoyou not only got the news quickly, but also was very enthusiastic.The curtain of the back room was lifted, and Su Xiaomei came out: "Does this man have something to ask his husband to do? Why is he so humble and polite."

"You can see it too? I also find it strange. I'm just an official passing through here, not a censor. Let's stay for one night and leave early tomorrow."

Su Xiaomei chuckled: "You're not the censor, you're the God of Wealth. Look at the places we've walked, and the officials there are not always polite to you."

What she said was correct, not to mention that Wang Pang's status in the court is now in full swing.Wang Pang looked at Su Xiaomei and suddenly thought of something and smiled: "He may not be targeting me, but probably targeting my wife, little sister."

"What's none of my business?" Su Xiaomei asked puzzled.

"Hehe, I'm probably afraid that you will rob someone's good son-in-law. Have you ever heard of Qin Guan?"

Su Xiaomei thought for a while: "I've never heard of it."

Wang Pang also smiled, it seems that the so-called ancient secrets are nothing more than that, Su Xiaomei never knew about Qin Guan, so why did the allusion of my younger sister's Sannan Qin scholar?

Early the next morning, County Magistrate Xu came to see Wang Pang in person, and set up a banquet in the mansion to entertain everyone around Wang Pang.After drinking for three rounds, Wang Pang thought of Qin Guan and said, "I heard that the county magistrate Xu has a son-in-law who is very good at poetry and prose. Could you please come and see him?"

Speaking of his son-in-law, County Magistrate Xu was very proud, and hurriedly sent someone to call Qin Guan to accompany him.When Wang Pang saw Qin Guan, he really liked the handsome young man, and he wanted to take him south to stay with him to do things. How did he know that the young man said: "Students know that they are not talented enough, and it is a great honor to be appreciated by the king of Zhennan, but I think we should stay here." Concentrate on preparing for the scientific examination in Gaoyou."

Xu Liang cursed inwardly, this unworthy son-in-law is so ignorant.If you can work with Wang Pang, you will definitely have a high salary, and with the relationship between Wang Pang and the prince, you will definitely be able to feel like a fish in water in the future officialdom.He hurriedly looked at Wang Pang's face, but Wang Pang laughed loudly: "Good boy, he has ambition. He will surely become a blockbuster in the future. Who is your teacher?"

Wang Pang liked Qin Guan very much, he thought that if Qin Guan could be taught by his father, he would be a talented person in the future.I heard Wang Pang ask Qin Guan, "I'm living at home and studying, but I haven't joined the school yet. But there is one person I admire very much, can the prince do it for me?"

"Tell me about it?" Wang Pang looked at Qin Guan with a smile, he was much more handsome than Gaoyou County Magistrate who had a fat head, big ears, and a cunning face.

"I want to learn from Su Shi and Su Zizhan. I wonder if the prince can do it for me?" Qin Guan said loudly.

Wang Pang glanced at Su Xiaomei who was next to him: "Hey, you can handle this matter, my lady!"
