Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 1
In the early spring of the seventh year of Zhenghe in the Song Dynasty, Shangshui County, Chenzhou, the sun was rising, softly like this era, making people linger and intoxicated.

Wang Xiu was sitting by the window on the second floor of Wang Ji grocery store, watching the bustling people on the street downstairs, her eyes were full of freshness.

Last night, when he woke up in the middle of the night, he found that everything had changed. He obviously went to Shennongjia to explore, and fell off a cliff with her in order to save a beautiful female donkey friend. The moment he slipped and fell, his eyes twisted. ?
Under the moonlight of the long window, the ancient furniture of the same color flashed into the eyelids, and with the memories flashing in his head, he realized that he was possessed by a man of the same age, same surname, and same name.

He sat on the vermilion lacquered bed for the whole night, except for blinking, he was in a daze,
When the boy knocked on the door and came in, he had reluctantly accepted the reality!The complete fusion of the two memories reminded him of conflicts with classmates from the county school, and he was hit on the head with a stick by Lu Tianshou. He seemed to see Zhang Qiyuan. Bed on the second floor.

The shop is located in the most prosperous section of South Street in the county seat. There are three rooms with blue bricks and blue tiles along the street. There are few miscellaneous goods, but they are in order, and an old economy and a small servant are hired.

When he washed his face with rice washing water, he went downstairs and reached the small door leading to the shop when he heard the boy's nagging voice.

"Old man Qiu, that old boy Zhang Wenshan has been spying on our proprietor's shop for a long time, and the Lu family is getting close to him again. In order to make ends meet, the proprietor borrowed money everywhere and broke his legs, and sold all the good houses. Let the petty official take the test with peace of mind. I haven't paid the salary last month. You say that the petty official is too disappointing. It's not good to provoke anyone. You have to fight with your brother-in-law. This is not for Lu Dayou to regret his marriage Is it an excuse? Hey, it’s strange to say that, early in the morning, the portrait of the little official has changed, and the sharpness of his eyes shocked me.”

Listening to the young man's words, Wang Xiu gradually figured out some clues. No wonder the Xu family's butcher shop next door took off the brand. It turned out that Zhang's family, known as a great benefactor, advocated Wenshan and coveted Wang Ji's grocery store. The shops are all sold out.

The Lu family is getting closer to the Zhang family again, and the conflict between him and Lu Tianshou seems to be caused by 'you are not worthy of my fifth sister', after careful consideration, it really is not an ordinary feeling.He couldn't help shivering, and decisively opened the curtain and came out.

"The little official has come out." Seeing Wang Xiu coming out suddenly, the servant immediately shut up, with a flattering smile on his face.

The old shopkeeper rolled his eyes at the servant, and said calmly: "Little official, if you didn't go back last night, I'm afraid the proprietor will be anxious."

Wang Xiu blinked, shook her robe unaccustomed to it, and reluctantly said, "I'll be back in a while." Looking at the scattered goods on the container, there were no customers in the shop, and it was a depressed scene. Asked: "Why aren't even the shelves full?"

On the contrary, the young servant rushed to say: "The proprietor said the day before yesterday that the goods will be processed as soon as the money arrives."

"Little official, have you submitted the test report? He Dong Lao, who is in charge of the famous register, is very famous." The old shopkeeper secretly looked at the bruise on Wang Xiu's face, and hesitated to speak.

"Not yet." Wang Xiu didn't think much, and replied casually, but didn't see the old housekeeper's sigh.

"Brother Wang, come to a small jar of soy sauce."

A gust of fragrant wind came along with the crisp sound of silver bells. A tall girl about fifteen or sixteen years old walked in. She was wearing a crescent-white double-breasted small dress inlaid with plain silver trim and a pale pink lotus skirt. Hair dish into short sideburns.

This woman is the elder sister of Widow Li's family in the neighborhood. Her surname is Youqin, and her surname is Mo Yan.

"Oh, good." Wang Xiu looked at it in a daze for a while, and only after the money was handed in front of her did she recall it. The old man blushed, and hurriedly waved his hands and said, "I still use my sister to give the money, no, no, no."

Youqin Mo Yan smiled strangely, his beautiful eyes were gouging out Wang Xiu, his two dimples were really charming, and he said in a crisp voice: "That's what I said, if the neighbors don't give money, then you don't want to eat the northwest wind, so why don't you eat it?" There are older brothers who make a living doing this."

The old shopkeeper and the servant were almost amused, Wang Xiu looked embarrassed, and was scolded by the little loli, what a shame!He trotted over in a hurry, took a jar of soy sauce, and said, "Sister, you want to go home?"

"Yes!" Youqin Mo Yan blinked her big eyes, showing a hint of cunning.

Wang Xiu picked up the sauce, and said generously: "I'll carry it for you, along the way." It's true, the Wang family paid off the house, and Widow Li leased a house left by her deceased father to the Wang family at a low price. Neighborhoods become neighbourhoods.

Youqin Moyan paid the money, raised her eyebrows, and said bluntly: "Brother is really a good man, I just happened to go to buy some melons and fruits, so I can save my money."

"You're quite honest." Wang Xiu rolled her eyes. Isn't this just looking for trouble?Hey, it's not easy for Widow Li and her daughter. Her husband died early, and the mother and daughter are left to depend on each other. It's not very convenient to do business. It's a good deed to act as a coolie.

When the two of them left the shop, the servant curled his lips and said with a smile: "Old Man Qiu, even a nerd like a small official can send tributes to Juren, then I'll be number one."

"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb."

.

Wang Xiu struggled to carry a bag of melons and Jiang Qing, gritted her teeth with a bitter face, and finally delivered Youqin Moyan to the door.

"It's the eldest brother of the Wang family! Why did you send it here? It's true." Widow Li, who has a charming appearance and undiminished charm, opened the door and saw Wang Xiu, who was sweating profusely and pale. Looking at her daughter, she hurriedly said: "You are exhausted, come in and have a cup of tea."

Youqin Moyan covered her lips and snickered, with a look of playing tricks, and the angry Widow Li kept rolling her eyes.

Wang Xiu put the things in the door, and hurriedly said: "No, ma'am, I'll go back first." The world style in Song Dynasty was still open, and women did not fall into the embarrassment of staying at home in Ming and Qing Dynasties, but there were disputes in front of the widow's door. It's better to be careful, not to mention a beautiful widow in her forties.

"That said, I don't even drink a cup of tea."

"No, auntie. Sister, if you work harder next time, just tell your brother." Wang Xiu waved her hand gracefully, pretending to be a big-tailed wolf after being exhausted.

"Well, in a few days, a batch of silk will just be delivered." Youqin Mo Yan smiled, but because of Widow Li's wink, she didn't continue.

"Ma'am, I'm going home first." Wang Xiu secretly glanced at Youqin Moyan, that delicate little face was full of conspiratorial smiles, and couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat.

"You girl, you know how crazy you are all day long."

"Mother, Brother Wang wants to do whatever he wants." Youqin Moyan pouted, showing a cute and coquettish expression of dissatisfaction.

"Okay, the little brother of the Wang family is so stupid. Well, I've become an idiot in reading, and I'm afraid there is no hope of solving it. Okay, help my mother move in."

"That's right! If you don't tell me, mother, you'll forget about it. The elder brother of the Wang family is no longer in a daze, and he can speak quickly."

"What do children know, hey, the Wang family will be in trouble, Mrs. Xie is so virtuous." Widow Liu sighed softly, not paying attention to her daughter's frown.

Wang Xiu was walking on the Qingshi street, he was afraid that his family knew about the fight, escape was not an option, so his steps became more steady.

. .

The house rented by the piano player is at the entrance of Shuizhu Lane, East Street, a small house with gray tiles and blue bricks, the dark walls are covered with moss, and the walls of the house are particularly old, with mottled gray walls in many places. The plaster had obviously not been applied for a long time.

Coincidentally, just as Wang Xiu entered the door without even looking, his father, Wang Cheng, came out of the front hall to see him off. In front of him was an old man with a wretched smile, wearing a precious blue Shu brocade silk robe. .

When he noticed his father's unkind gaze, he immediately stepped forward and bowed. The whole set of movements was the same as he had practiced thousands of times, and he said in a vivid voice: "This junior has met shopkeeper He."

Wang Cheng's complexion was very ugly. He Laodao blinked his mung bean eyes, his eyes flickered, stroked the mouse's beard, and said with a smirk: "So it's Da Lang! Why, did you go to the county school to prepare the report? Hey, what's the matter?" A bruise on the face."

From the corner of Wang Xiu's eyes, he noticed that his father's face was very ugly. He pretended not to care, turned his face and smiled and said, "I didn't find anyone. I plan to go tomorrow. What a pity. There are two mad dogs at the gate of the county school."

"Mad dog?" Faced with Wang Xiu's polite attitude, he replied without saying a word, making He Laodao nod with a smile. He has been around for decades, how could he fail to understand Wang Xiu's meaning, thinking to himself how can this nerd speak so smartly?He didn't point it out, and said with a smile to Wang Cheng: "Okay, I don't want to bother you anymore. Proprietor Wang, stay for a while. I'll discuss it again in three days."

Wang Cheng looked dignified, and his attitude was neither warm nor cold. He cupped his hands and said, "The shopkeeper He is easy to leave. I won't see you off."

After He Laodao left, Wang Cheng went back to the house with a pale face. Wang Xiu understood half of it, and didn't make a sound. He followed to the living room, and when Wang Cheng sat down, he said, "Father, is shopkeeper He asking for money?"

Wang Cheng glared at Wang Xiu fiercely, his face was extremely ugly, and he turned back to the room without saying a word.

Wang Xiu was thinking about something, followed Wang Cheng in, and sat down on the chair, but when he heard Wang Cheng snort, he suddenly remembered, this is ancient times!How can the son sit in front of Lao Tzu, like a needle pricked his ass, jumped up "huo", scratched his head and said in embarrassment: "Father, how much did our family borrow?"

Wang Cheng frowned slightly, and said impatiently: "Read your book carefully, and don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

Seeing that Wang Cheng was dissatisfied, Wang Xiu did not flinch, and said calmly, "Father, I am nineteen years old, and I can take care of the family's worries. When is it? The shop is my whole life's effort, can I not ask?"

When Wang Cheng heard about his hard work, he couldn't help sighing softly. He didn't have a great future in his life, and his son was a taciturn person all day long.This one seems to be a little different, he looked at his son in surprise, and said slowly: "It's good that you have this kind of heart, did you live in the shop last night?"

"Yes." Wang Xiu answered honestly. Anyway, sooner or later, Wang Cheng would know that it was just a fight, and it was no big deal in his eyes.

"En." Wang Cheng didn't ask any further, and took a sip of tea from the Xiuhua celadon cup.

"I don't know, I don't know how much money Dad borrowed from the shopkeeper He?" Wang Xiu was confused, and took advantage of Wang Cheng's tea time and strike while the iron was hot, and then turned the topic to money.

Wang Cheng frowned, and said: "Okay, you will go to the county school to prepare papers in the afternoon, and then study hard. This year, you must study in Tokyo."

Wang Xiu said very solemnly: "The shopkeeper He came to ask for the money in three days. Is daddy sure to pay back the money? Could it be? Dad, this is your painstaking effort for many years. Mother has worked hard all her life. The child must not let mother worry for the rest of her life."

Wang Cheng was startled when he heard the words, and immediately bowed his head in silence. He was really unwilling!His son's words pierced his heart like a needle, and he couldn't let the virtuous woman suffer. He seemed to want to say it but didn't say it, so he waved his hand and said, "Even if I sell the shop, I still want to help you study, okay, Your mother left food for you."

Mrs. Xie is a kind woman with simple clothes, dignified and beautiful. When she saw Wang Xiu, she smiled kindly and said softly, "Brother, mother made fish for you."

It's been a while since I ate meat, Wang Xiu felt very warm, put aside her heavy thoughts for a while, and couldn't help laughing: "Mom, I'm really hungry."

"Brother, your father found out what happened yesterday, and even got angry, so don't contradict him."

Wang Xiu was stunned for a moment, knowing that Wang Cheng let him go, he laughed and said, "I'll go eat first."

Really hungry!Just as he was waiting voraciously, Mrs. Xie came over quietly, stuffed him with a heavy blue cloth bag, and said softly: "Brother, I'm afraid there will be trouble in front of the county school gate. You take this, so you can do some human affairs." .”

Wang Xiu put down her chopsticks, and slowly raised her head to look at Mrs. Xie, feeling that something had happened.
