Compete for the Song Dynasty

Zhang Yi's personal arrival made Wang Pang very happy, and at the same time he kept in mind what Zhang Yi said; Zhang Yi also readily agreed to Wang Pang's desire to hand over the management of the tea farm to Zhang Yi.Wang Pang called Cai Jing and Nan Jifeng again. Knowing that the two had successfully sent the suspect to the official department, he briefly asked about the situation on the road. look.

In the next few days, Jinxiang Mansion, Tea Farm, and Xixia Salt Farm and Pharmacy all divided the shares in detail according to Wang Pang's instructions, and each entered into independent management documents with Wang Pang. From then on, these business matters Wang Pang did not participate at all; Hou Shuxian also summarized the implementation and summary of Wang Pang's various systems in Yongzhou, and after Wang Pang approved it, he could bring it back to Linchuan for Wang Anshi to review; And Tong Guan and others gathered together to teach them how to deal with documents, which has become Wang Pang's usual schedule.This is simply a training class for secretaries. These few people know that they can work next to the king, and they are all gearing up and are very happy.

The happiest person here is Tong Guan. Wang Pang has always been his idol, especially since he is the young master of the mansion. Now Tong Guan is a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, and he often chases after Lu Shenyan in the mansion. Wait for someone to ask Wang Pang what kind of things he did when he was fourteen or fifteen years old, and what kind of official position he achieved.What makes Tong Guan somewhat regretful is that this time when Wang Pang returns to the capital, he seldom sees him, and Tong Guan is very excited when he thinks that he will be by his adoptive father's side every day in the future.When Cai Jing explained clearly what he was going to pay attention to, Tong Guan stood with his waist in front of He Zhu, and Zhe Keshi said in front of the two of them: "Listen up, you two, you must not be sloppy in doing things in front of my adoptive father. Follow my orders more."

Zhe Keshi's father was originally a general under Wang Pang, and he was usually close to Tong Guan, so naturally he listened to Tong Guan; He Zhuwen was weak, so naturally he listened to Tong Guan.The two said in unison: "Yes!".Cai Jing wanted to laugh when he saw this situation, everyone was a book boy, the prince got three of them, and divided the labor between civil and military.

Cai Jing reckoned that it would be noon and arranged: "Get ready, follow me to see the prince tomorrow morning!" After speaking, he turned and left the room, and just a few steps away, someone shouted from behind: "Brother Cai, wait for me! ", and then Tong Guan had come to him, "Brother Cai, isn't my father at the house today?" [

"The prince is very busy every day, so he asked Jia Xian to go to the bank with him early this morning. Does the young master want to sneak out to play while your father is not there?" Cai Jing looked at Tong Guan with a smile and asked.

Tong Guan looked innocent: "Of course not. If Daddy is not at the house, I will invite you out for lunch, okay? There are so many delicious foods in the capital, you haven't had a good appetite for a long time." Tong Guan squeezed winked.

Speaking of delicious food, Cai Jing just wanted to drool, he looked up and down to see Tong Guan, how generous this young master is today: "You invite me? Hehe, wait a minute, wait until you start to do things, you have it." It's not too late to invite me after the payment is paid. Besides, you are a young master, how dare I let you invite me?"

Tong Guan walked up to him and pulled Cai Jing's arm. This kid was really aggressive: "What? Are you still afraid that I don't have money? Let's go!" Then he pulled Cai Jing and walked out of the mansion.

Zhennan Prince's Mansion is to the west of Liangmen, and the two of them walked through Liangmen not far away, and there is a historian's gourd shop.Tong Guan and Cai Jing entered the store, and Xiao Er greeted them.Tong Guan pulled Cai Jing to find a table to sit down, took out a few copper coins and threw them on the table, and ordered very skillfully: "One piece of gourd soup, some steamed buns, and some wine and vegetables for two slings of wine!"

Cai Jing smelled the aroma in the shop, and felt his stomach growling long ago. Seeing that Tong Guan wanted wine and food, he hurriedly said in a low voice: "The wine is free, the prince has a rule, and you are not allowed to drink while doing business. .”

Tong Guan rolled his eyes: "Didn't you say that my father is not at home today!"

Cai Jing also felt that it was a problem, he was a bit greedy, besides, if he came out with Tong Guan, he might not really be punished if he had a drink or two of Wang Pang.He just nodded with a smile, but saw Tong Guan say: "Okay! Then no more wine. Hurry up and serve steamed buns and gourd soup, I'm hungry!"

Cheapskate, I knew I would stop talking too much, Cai Jing secretly regretted it.When the gourd soup and steamed buns were brought up, Tong Guan grabbed the steamed buns and said to Cai Jing while eating: "Brother Cai, this shop is new, try this soup, it's gourd soup, made from boiled mutton, delicious That's great."

Cai Jing took a sip, and the aroma really filled his mouth. He couldn't help but ate it, and said while eating: "Young master, you really look like a prince. It's just that the prince doesn't have time to study delicious food now. Don't talk about it. The mutton is really fresh. When the prince made the hot-boiled mutton, not many people ate mutton."

"That's right! Who is my father? Since then, my father has gone north and returned from the Liao Kingdom. From the imperial city to the common people, he can eat the mutton tribute from the Liao Kingdom and sold by merchants. I didn't bring you to the wrong place, did I?" Tong Tong Guan said while eating.

"That's right, that's right, it's really delicious, but why did you think of asking me out for dinner, Young Master?"

"Hey!" Tong Guan smiled: "Young master, I'm not as good as you and I have been with my father for a long time. I just want to ask you, what is my father like when he does things? What's special about him? I don’t have the habit. I’m afraid that in front of those two boys in the future, I won’t behave as well as them.”

"So it is like this!" Cai Jing laughed haha: "Don't worry, the prince is usually very good. Well, he doesn't like to use his relationship for personal gain. When we were in Songshou last time, he pretended to give me a warning Song Shou county magistrate. Also, if the prince looks at someone, he should be careful. Qin Minxue is an example, and I think Yang Jian is also hanging. Every time the prince looks at him, he will It's as if this person doesn't exist."

"Yang Jian? Which Yang Jian?"

"A little eunuch next to the prince," Cai Jing said without raising his head, the soup in front of him really attracted his attention.

"He actually went to work with the prince, hum! Let my father clean him up sooner or later!"

"Do you know him?" Cai Jing heard it now, and raised his head curiously.

"You forgot, I stayed in the palace for a while. This Yang Jian relied on his master as the chief eunuch, and always bullied the little eunuchs in the palace. Alas, fortunately, I was protected by my master at that time. I don't know if my master is now What's the matter! I always want to go and see, but I'm afraid my father won't let me. My father seems to dislike my connection with people in the palace." [

Seeing that Tong Guan didn't eat much anymore, Cai Jing pulled the big bowl of soup towards him: "What are you worried about? You will be by the prince's side in the future. If the prince has a chance to enter the palace, you just follow him." If you find another chance to meet your master, it will be easy!"

Tong Guan really wanted to see Shi Zhicong who took care of him when he was in the palace, but now that Yang Jian was by the prince's side, he felt extremely upset.Cai Jing seemed to see what was on his mind: "Then Yang Jian, don't pay too much attention to it. Now that the crown prince has something to discuss with the prince, are you still afraid of being a eunuch?"

"Who's afraid of him!" Tong Guan said unconvinced, and took a hard bite of the steamed bun in his hand.

Cai Jing's belly was bulging, and Tong Guan thought of Shi Zhicong who treated him very well in the palace, and he had something on his mind.The two walked out of the ladle soup shop and returned to the palace for a stroll. Just as they reached the mansion, they were about to step up the steps when Cai Jing pulled Tong Guan's sleeve: "Say Cao Cao is here, look at the man over there. "

Tong Guan followed what Cai Jing said and saw a person walking towards them in a hurry. The person who came was seventeen or eighteen years old. He was wearing a public uniform and a puppet with soft wings. At first glance, he looked like a palace official.Tong Guanli recognized that it was the Yang Jian they just mentioned. He hadn't seen this guy for a few years, but he didn't change much.

Yang Jian hurried up the steps, and suddenly raised his head to see two people standing in front of him, one of whom he recognized the book boy beside Wang;I was still hesitating, when I suddenly heard Tong Guan's muffled voice asking: "Hey, what are you doing here?"

Cai Jing was taken aback when he heard that, he hurriedly pulled Tong Guan, and said to Yang Jian with a smile: "Guard Yang, is there something wrong with coming to the palace in such a hurry?"

Yang Jian was still looking at Tong Guan, remembering where he met him, and Cai Jing hurriedly said: "The prince has something to see the prince, so he specially asked me to invite the prince."

As soon as Cai Jing heard this, he moved out of the way: "We also just came back from going out. I don't know if the prince is in the house at this time. Steward Yang, please come inside, and the guards will take you in." After saying that, he moved to make way for Yang Jian.

Seeing that Cai Jing was very polite to him, Yang Jian was very proud, he raised his head and stood up after taking two steps, then turned to Cai Jing and asked, "Who is this kid!"

Cai Jing smirked twice: "Hehe, this is our prince's adopted son, our young master, do you know Guanshi Yang?"

No matter how stupid Yang Jian was, he still remembered what happened back then. At that time, Tong Guan was going to be Shi Zhicong's apprentice. In the end, the Queen Mother asked Tong Guan to consider whether to cleanse himself when he became an adult. Moreover, Tong Guan was so courageous that he dared to drag him out. Emperor Yingzong.Yang Jian had an impression of Tong Guan, but at the time he didn't know that Wang Pang would really come back alive, let alone that Wang Pang would become so powerful later on.And he also got up. At that time, he saw that the boy had a bad temper, so he brought a few eunuchs to bully him, and sometimes threw stones at him and his master.

Thinking of this, Yang Jian quickly squeezed out a smile and said, "This son has the air of a prince, majestic, how can we people in the palace know him. Don't know him, don't know him!"

Tong Guan didn't expect Yang Jian to say that, he just thought that Yang Jian had really forgotten and was still flattering himself, so he couldn't help but listen to his chest and say: "Cai Yuanchang, let him go quickly, don't delay the business!".Yang Jian hurriedly walked in, Cai Jing looked at Tong Guan's dazed look and couldn't help but smiled: "Young master, you have to pay attention in the future, and do things by the prince's side, don't cause trouble for the prince."
