A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Huahua stood in the door between the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard, the dog's head slightly raised, looking at his master with some confusion.

"Is this unrecognizable?"

Shen An leaned over and touched its head, then one person and one dog went in.

"elder brother!"

Guoguo stood at the door to greet her, followed a little later by Yang Zhuoxue, who was holding a taro.

"Brother has made a meritorious service."

Shen An habitually touched the top of her sister's head, and then asked, "Are you good at home?"

"Be good." Guoguo asked excitedly: "Brother, brother, how many legs do you have this time?"

Shen An's head was full of black lines and he said: "No legs."

"I've met the officials."

Even though he had seen her before, Yang Zhuoxue still held the taro in her arms and saluted.

Shen An paid attention and found that there was nothing unusual about her. He felt relieved, took the taro, held it up and asked, "Good boy, can you still pee on your father?"

"ah……"

Taro screamed hard and danced very cutely.

"Brother, give me the taro and I'll hold it."

Taro is Guoguo's new toy, and the aunt and nephew can talk to each other for a long time.

Shen An handed her the taro, and then the family went in.

"This time in the northwest, my husband was negotiating with that Liang lady. That woman was shrewd and ugly..."

"Is she ugly?" Yang Zhuoxue said in surprise: "I heard that she is Li Liangzuo's cousin?"

"That's right." Shen An felt relieved and said with a smile, "This woman is ambitious. She negotiated with her for her husband. She paid attention to her words and deeds, so she didn't suffer in the end."

Yang Zhuoxue lowered her head, "But she must be proud."

"Why?" Shen An was a little tired.

He didn't feel like he was even energetic when he was on the road, but when he got home, the familiar feeling made him relax and he just wanted to lie down and sleep.

"Because she took advantage."

Yang Zhuoxue had been hiding her anger, and now she had a slight attack, "Guanren...does she admire you? Yes, she must admire you, otherwise how could it be like this? I don't know whether she is ashamed or not in her dreams at night."

A picture appeared in her mind: Shen An scolded Fang Qiu in front of the battle, and the Xixia people he led the army to kill threw away their helmets and armor. At this moment, Liang stumbled out, shouting Shen An's name sternly... …

Liang begged Shen An to let Xixia go, but Shen An just remained silent. Then Mrs. Liang knelt down and said that she was willing to be a slave...

The officials must be unwilling, right?

Yang Zhuoxue felt that she should not be willing, and he did not need such a woman as a servant.

Um! Do not care!

"Guanren, we don't want her in our family."

"Official?"

Shen An had fallen asleep leaning on the chair.

Yang Zhuoxue got up and went out, and saw Guoguo holding Taro and muttering, while Zhao Wuwu beside him was looking at Taro intently.

It is rare for a woman not to like children.

Zhao Wuwu is a bit older, so he has to get married, right?

Yang Zhuoxue quietly went to the front yard and called Zhuang Laoshi and Aunt Chen to discuss the matter.

"Zhao Wuwu?"

Zhuang Laoshi shook his head when he heard this, and Aunt Chen also shook her head, both looking embarrassed.

"Why?"

Yang Zhuoxue frowned and said: "Zhao Wuwu is good-looking. Although he is not young, he...should be easy to marry, right?"

Zhuang Laoshi shook his head, winked at Aunt Chen, and motioned for her to speak.

Aunt Chen sighed: "Madam, you are kind-hearted, Zhao Wuwu... She is quite old and can handle it, but she came from the palace and once served as a female official beside the Queen Mother. What kind of vision does she have? Madam, Didn't you notice? Zhao Wuwu only smiled lightly at everyone except the husband, you, and the young lady..."

"Yes!" Yang Zhuoxue remembered that Zhao Wuwu was indeed like this. Sometimes when guests came, she would just pour tea. Her gesture was impeccable, but she couldn't see any emotional fluctuations, as if what she saw in front of her was just a doll. .

Aunt Chen sniffed, "I have met a lot of people over the years, including those powerful and powerful, but I have never seen an aloof and arrogant person like Zhao Wuwu. Madam, how can she like this kind of person for ordinary people? But? Those nice men look down on her, so..."

There are many such people in later generations. They have high vision and would rather be alone than settle.

But at this time, people like Zhao Wuwu seemed particularly strange.

"But a woman will eventually get married. It's good to have a child and someone to rely on!"

Zhuang honestly said: "Madam, Zhao Wuwu...if these people are not still attached to the world, I am afraid they would rather be female Taoists, so unless they meet the person they love, they will not get married."

Yang Zhuoxue had a headache and called Zhao Wuwu after returning to the backyard.

Her fair and tender face was so delicate that she seemed to have no flaws. A pair of bright eyes were indifferent, and the lips were slightly pursed, revealing an aura of indifference before speaking.

"Have you ever thought about getting married?" Yang Zhuoxue felt that she still had to work hard. If she could succeed, it would be a merit.

Yang Zhuoxue felt a sense of accomplishment when she thought that Zhao would probably have a biological child in the future.

She is not idle. After confinement, she not only has to take care of the children, but also audits Anxiang's accounts.

Zhao Wuwu pursed his lips slightly to the left and frowned slightly, "Thank you madam, I just want to be alone."

"Why?" Yang Zhuoxue was really puzzled, "Wouldn't it be nice to have someone to rely on?"

She even used herself as an example, "Look at the time when I got married, I fell in love with the officials. After I gave birth to the child, my life became more exciting. Isn't that good?"

Zhao Wuwu lowered his head, "I refuse."

Why!

Yang Zhuoxue wanted to be a matchmaker for the first time, but ended in failure.

At dinner, when she saw her beloved hot pot, Shen An couldn't care less about the brother-sister relationship, and kept eating, leaving Guoguo to only pick up a few pieces of tofu.

"Brother, are you going to endure hardship?"

Guoguo asked while serving food to her brother.

"It's not hard work, there are a lot of cattle and sheep in the northwest." Shen An ate a piece of mutton, "But after all, the taste is not as good as the one at home. Ermei is really good at making hot pot now. If he goes out to open a restaurant specializing in hot pot, I'm sure Business is booming.”

After dinner, the autumn wind was blowing, and it was cool to wear thicker clothes.

Shen An lay on the bed, his eyes rolling on his wife's body.

"sleep."

This was a code, but Yang Zhuoxue didn't go to bed for a long time, either to look at taro or to look at the moon.

"It's not the Mid-Autumn Festival. Go to bed quickly."

…

After a while, Yang Zhuoxue talked about Zhao Wuwu.

"Why doesn't she care?"

For Yang Zhuoxue, getting married and having children is an inevitable experience in life, but Zhao Wuwu's idea subverted her three views.

"It's nothing strange. People are different. Zhao Wuwu has seen the most wealthy and wealthy people around the Queen Mother. How can ordinary people fall in her eyes?"

"Then why did she come to our house?" Yang Zhuoxue thought this didn't make sense.

"Otherwise, where can she go?" Shen An was about to sleep and said drowsily: "For her, she would rather be alone than spend time with those she hates."

…

"Anbei, hahahaha!"

Su Shi's laughter was always so hearty, as if nothing in the world could stump him.

Shen An, who was having breakfast, did not go out to greet him, but just asked someone to get an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks.

Su Shi sniffed as soon as he came in. As a close friend, he didn't need to avoid anything.

"Got a tofu noodle? Come and have a bowl."

Su Shi sat down carelessly, and then said: "Anbei, there's a fight, hahahaha, the Xixia and Liao people are fighting."

Shen An perked up, put down his chopsticks and asked, "Really?"

"I heard from Fu Bi one morning that an envoy from the Liao Kingdom had arrived, and his attitude was very...soft."

A very soft and gentle attitude speaks for itself.

Shen An was overjoyed and said: "Yelu Hongji really doesn't have the confidence to deal with the Song Dynasty and Xixia people at the same time. In this way, the Song Dynasty will gain time to develop. A good thing, a great thing!"

Su Shi got bowls and chopsticks, so he made a big bowl of tofu curd and a big spoonful of hot sauce, and ate heartily.

After breakfast, Shen An asked him, "Are you asking for leave today?"

"Today I made an appointment with a Taoist priest for a trip."

Su Shi is now at home in Yushitai, and it is convenient for him to take leave.

"You have to work hard." Shen An felt that it was necessary to give him a warning.

"You have worked very hard." Su Shi said seriously: "When I asked for leave, I said I was going out to look for the gentry's bad deeds..."

Well, Shen An felt that he couldn't compare with this guy, "Look at X, he is serious about his work. Everyone agrees. If you want to be promoted, you'd better be more serious. At least you have to let the superior think that you are working hard." ,Understand?"

"It's a small matter." Su Shi was still bold, but then he said: "I don't want to be promoted, otherwise I will directly impeach the official next time."

This Su Dazui!

"The official family is different from the late emperor. Don't imitate those fools. If you don't do it right, the official family will write it down in their little book and settle the accounts in the future."

"I'm not afraid."

Su Shi said with high spirits: "At worst, if I don't get promoted, I will still feel comfortable."

This guy makes you want to slap him!

Shen An immediately went to the Privy Council. UU reading www. uukanshu.net

At the gate he met Fu Bi who came out in a hurry.

When Fu Bi saw him, he said, "Let's go, let's go. The officials are talking about the fight between Liao and Xixia. You have to go too."

The two of them entered the palace all the way. When they entered the main hall, Zhao Shu, the three prime ministers, and Bao Zheng were all there.

"Shen An is here?" Zhao Shu's mood was very high. "The Liao envoy came and directly asked about the Song Dynasty's attitude towards the war between Xixia and them. Han Qing said that the Song Dynasty had no time to take care of it. The Liao envoy didn't believe it and got entangled. for a long time."

Han Qi said calmly: "How can I pay attention to him? He just left after saying that. He followed me and talked all the way, just like a woman."

"The Liao people took action against Xixia this time because Yelu Hongji purged Yelu Zhongyuan's party, and the internal stability became stable. However, there were more complaints. He had to do something, but he did not choose the Song Dynasty to vent his anger. It makes me a little confused!"

Zhao Shu was not confused, but he was clearly proud.

Fu Bi joked: "Your Majesty, their heavy cavalry was dispatched in Fuzhou, but they were still defeated. If they attack again, the divine crossbows, gunpowder cans, kerosene bombs... are enough to give Yelu Hongji a headache, so he only You can vent your anger on the Xixia people."

Zhao Shu lamented: "How many years has it been? A few years ago, when the Liao envoys came to the Song Dynasty, they were arrogant, gesticulating, and domineering. At that time, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were helpless, but now? Now the Liao people are actually I want to test the meaning of the Song Dynasty... In the past few years, the Song Dynasty has changed so much, which makes me happy."

He looked at Shen An and said approvingly: "You came up with the divine crossbow and gunpowder. You have done a great job."

Shen An raised his head, "I am just thinking about my late father's legacy and looking north to the country."

In an instant, the atmosphere in the hall became excited.

Shen Bian, this long-lost name was once again remembered by the emperor and his ministers.

Looking north to the country!
