Compete for the Song Dynasty

Chapter 88 Meet the Young Cai Jing

Standing in front of the king was a boy, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with his hair in a bun and wearing blue clothes and trousers. His forehead was wide and high. Just by looking at his forehead, these guys knew he was smart, and he looked shrewd. In comparison, Liu Qi looks simple and honest, while Tong Xiao is just naughty.

Lu Shenyan patted the child on the shoulder and said, "Master, this Cai Jing is Mr. Cai's place. Now that it's the [-]th and [-]th, Mr. Cai entrusts you to Mr. Young Master, who can be a book boy or a errand. "

Wang Pang knew that this was Lu Shenyan's favor. Cai Jing's father, Cai Zhun, was also an official in the court, and his cousin was the magistrate of Jianzhou. Naturally, with his status and background, he couldn't be an ordinary book boy or run errands.

Cai Jing stood upright, and this time he came to the capital with Lu Shenyan at his own request.When he was in Jianzhou, he heard about Wang Pang from the person who sent tea home. Cai Jing was very curious about how this young master Wang Pang, who was only four or five years older than himself, could do such a big business.

What made Cai Jing go out of the capital was that there were Ouyang Xiu and Su Shi in the capital.Regardless of his young age, he is indeed a well-known idiot and foodie in the local area.It is said that he is crazy because he is different from ordinary children. He likes to play and play, and he likes to write and draw with a pen all day long. [

Cai Jing admired Su Shi's calligraphy and painting, and it is said that his family also had friendship with Su Shi.His father Cai Zhun and Su Shi were "donkey friends". Of course, there was no such word at that time, but it was true that Cai Zhun and Su Shi often rode donkeys to visit mountains and rivers at that time, and this word was extremely appropriate.Su Shi was in the capital at this time, and his father was also an official in other places, admiring the celebrities in the capital, so Cai Jing wanted to come to the capital even more.

As for foodies, it is natural that Cai Jing is greedy for food at a young age, as long as he sees fresh and delicious food, he often eats until his stomach swells.When he was in Jianzhou, he heard people who went back say that there are so many delicious foods in the capital, and his eyes lit up, especially the famous "Splendid Tower" cooked with coal, which was delicious and delicious, and Cai Jing could no longer hold back.Besides, at the age of thirteen or fourteen, they should come out to see the market.

So, when Cai Jing saw Lu Shenyan, the steward of the Mayer Mansion, he pestered Xiao Lu to bring him to the capital.Naturally, Master Cai Xiang entrusted Xiao Lu to see if he could give Wang Bang a favor to take him with him.

Wang Pang just muttered, how many descendants don't know Cai Jing, the head of the six traitors in the Song Dynasty, but seeing that this child is only thirteen or fourteen, he is completely different from the legends of later generations.After thinking about it, I was afraid that Mrs. Cai would be unhappy; if I didn't, I was not sure that I could get well.Besides, right now, Cai Jing really can't see anything wrong.

First of all, when it comes to appearance, he has everything he should have; besides, he has everything about his personality, and he doesn't look like a greedy person; there is nothing to say about reading and writing.Wang Bang was really confused.

Cai Jing looked at Wang and saw that he was silent for a long time, feeling puzzled.He really likes this young man who is four or five years older than himself.It's just that this son looks stricter than Su Shi.He turned his head to look at Lu Shenyan. At this time, Lu Shenyan also looked at Wang Pang without speaking for a long time, and quickly asked, "Young master? What arrangements do you make for Yuan Chang (Cai Jing's character Yuan Chang)?"

Hearing Lu Shenyan's question, Wang Pang thought to himself: If you take good care of this child, maybe it might not be a bad thing, there is a definite number to do everything and know the destiny.So he said: "Yuan Chang is the elder among these children, and he is usually asked to take the children to do calligraphy and painting. You also have someone to help you when you go back and forth to Jianzhou."

When Cai Jing saw Wang Pang's response, he was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Thank you, my lord." He tilted his head and asked in puzzlement, "Who are these children?"

Lu Shenyan thought for a while, every time the young master gathers, some children gather together.Xiao Lu sighed, all of these children are more literate than Lu Shenyan.So he said: "They are all talented children in our family. The eldest son Yuan Ze's book boy Liu Qi, our house book boy Tong Xiao, Zhong Zhen's book boy Mitty (the son of Zhong Zhen's nurse), and Su Shi's son. Book boy Huang Tingjian. Anyway, everyone is more knowledgeable than me."

Listening to what he said, Wang was amused, how could Xiao Lu compare with these people, except for Liu Qi and Tong Xiao, each of whom is a famous person for future generations, and of course there is Cai Jing right now.He ordered Xiao Lu to take Cai Jing down and settle him into a room, so naturally he could be with Tong Xiao now.

Wang Pang summed up the Meyer Mansion. When he first came here, he thought it was quite big, but now there are more and more people.He stayed in the capital for three or four months, and more and more capable people came to him, and his master Zhang Yi even recommended some capable people to the king.

Even his uncle Jiao Deyou, the ship king, simply started the water transport business by Wang's side.It also helped Wang Pang choose many good coal-producing places along the Yellow River from Jincheng to Fenzhou.

Wang Pang has more business and employs more people, and the rooms for these people coming and going to the Meyer Mansion are not so plentiful. Wang Pang is thinking about finding a place to buy real estate.That night, he went back to the inner house and talked about it with Yuexia.The two lay on the bed, Yue Xia lay on Wang Pang's chest, listening to Wang Pang's stories as usual.

What Wang Pang told her, she didn't tell others, she just regarded him as a fabrication, and she always listened to new things, and Yuexia also liked to listen.Sometimes I fall asleep listening to it.It's not that Wang Pang's speech is not good, but listening to Wang Pang's magnetic voice, I feel very comfortable and at ease.

Today, Wang Pang told Yuexia some stories about the waters of Liangshan. In the story, the corrupt officials and the name Cai Jing were mentioned.Yue Xia smiled and said in a low voice: "You made it up again, and besides, there are so many people with the same name, how can it be said that this Cai Jing will be broken in the future."

Wang Pangxin said, could it be that Cai Xiang has two cousins ​​named Cai Jing?But there are some things that she doesn't understand when she tells Yuexia.He patted Yuexia's back lightly, like patting a child. Originally, to Wang Bang, who was in his 30s in his previous life, sometimes he really felt that Yuexia was just a child.

"You, you just see that everyone is a good person, but you don't know that the world is cruel and people's hearts are unpredictable." Wang Pang said softly

Yuexia chuckled: "You see, you are not a weak crown, and sometimes you speak like a person in his decades. If you don't want to provoke or test people's hearts, it's fine. Besides, if it's what you said, that person is good Bad people always experience things before they change their character.”

Wang Pang listened to what Yue Xia said, and it seemed reasonable. He only tried his best to do things. Maybe because of his own hard work, it is unknown that Cai Jing, who was raped, is no longer a traitor.Just like He Libo is not doing well with him in the Song Dynasty now.Thinking of this, she let go of those worries, hugged Yuexia and said, "I'm already in my dozen years old, and you don't call me godfather much according to your age."

Yuexia blushed and said with a smile: "You are not ashamed, you want to be a father?"

Wang Pang chuckled: "Don't you need to do more homework?" He said and stroked Yuexia's back, making Yuexia feel itchy.

Yuexia made him tease him, but he was shy again, remembering what he had said halfway, and asked: "You are not honest when you are telling a story, you just said where is the water park Liangshan?"

Seeing her asking this question, Wang Pang thought for a while, "That place is in Wanzhou, also known as Gaoliang County. If I have a chance, I will take you to have a look."

Yuexia sat up and seemed to remember something, and said: "I have been to that place before, and I can go along the Yellow River, but it is not as fun as you said, the land around is full of loess, and the soil in that place cannot be burned. This bluestone."

Wang Pang didn't expect Yuexia to know this. He suddenly thought that this kind of soil is the soil used to burn bricks. If brick houses can be built, it will save a lot of time compared to building the current wooden house.He began to imagine, "Look back, let me study it, how about building a brick house for you?"

He thought Yuexia would be happy, but Yuexia pouted and said, "I don't want it. Green bricks are only used in mausoleums."

When Wang Pang heard it, he understood. It turned out that Yuexia had misunderstood. He hurriedly explained: "It's blue bricks, and what I want to build for you are red bricks and green tiles."

Yuexia knew that Wang Pang had a lot of fresh ideas, but Hong Brick had never seen it before, so he no longer blamed and smiled: "Officials always have novelties, and I will believe everything you say. It's just that there are too many businesses. , are you still busy?"

Yue Xia said a word to wake up the king, the current traffic and communication are not as good as that after a thousand years, and there are too many complicated things, and it is easy to lose sight of the other.It was rare for Yuexia to think about him so much, so he said: "I only do one or two pieces a year, which is enough for my whole life."

When two people are together, there are endless things to talk about and endless stories to tell every night. Here they are talking about each other. At this time, there is a person who is tossing and turning, and this person is He Libo.He was worrying about his promise to Li Enxi.

This matter started from the day when he went out to chase the gift-giver to the king. It turned out that He Libo really saw Miss Li Enxi that day, and learned that Miss Li came to the capital this time because the Japanese slaves attacked Goryeo.Goryeo asked Liao for help, and Da Liao had an ambiguous attitude.Right now there is a war in Goryeo, and the girl returns to Song Dynasty.

Seeing the girl say this, He Libo asked in puzzlement why the girl gave the gift in the name of Princess Goryeo.Listening to Li Enxi's answer, there are so many people who give gifts to the prince's grand wedding, and the gifts are piled up. If you don't use this name, the gifts will probably be put aside, let alone the legend in the capital that this ordinary person from the Meyer Mansion Can't get in.

Listening to what she said, He Libo also felt that there was a reason. Jin Meiye's house was either rich or expensive, and he and Xiao Lu were often not at the house. Naturally, those servants didn't recognize ordinary people like Miss Li Enxi.

The two haven't seen each other for a few months, and they chatted for half a day. He Libo invited Miss Li to return to Mayer's Mansion.

This posed a problem for He Libo. What kind of topic is good?
