Chapter 82 Anger for Beauty
According to the prior agreement, the county magistrate brought the gentleman to see the king. As soon as he met the king, he couldn't help sighing that the Song Dynasty was really capable. The scholar in front of him is actually about the same age as himself.
This person's name is Wang Yansui, his name is Yanlin, and his name is Qingping. He is already a wizard of Xieyuan, Huiyuan and Lianzhong. This year, there is a science examination book that plans to go to Beijing to take the exam, but this person is different from ordinary people. He disdains to study hard. Instead, he puts down the book and takes this opportunity to walk around.
Wang Yansuo walked to Jincheng County and happened to see the county government posting a notice for Mr. Zhao Na. At first, Cheng Hao also felt that he was young, but he also felt erudite when talking. I stayed here for a month or two. When I heard Cheng Hao talk about the king, I had a heart to make friends and specially asked the adult to introduce me.
Wang Bian and Wang Yan are the same age. The two of them talked happily at first sight and made an appointment to see each other when they rushed to the exam in autumn.
By the way, the king of the banquet wanted Cheng Hao to inquire about this week's home dock. Cheng Hao said, "This week's dock is also a large local family, specializing in shipbuilding. Earlier, it was given to the royal special warship, and there was only one on the Yellow River, occupying the right time, place and people. In recent years, cruise ships and merchant ships have been renovated, but the person in charge is not surnamed Zhou.
Wang asked, "Why is this?"
Cheng Hao and the three of them chatted while drinking. Cheng Hao continued, "This family is rich, but there is no blessing and has children to inherit. There are only two daughters. The eldest daughter recruits a son-in-law Jiao Deyou. Now the old man of the Zhou family has passed away, and the internal and external affairs are handled by Jiao Gong."
Wang Bian listened and nodded and said, "I wanted to find this dock to make a transport merchant ship, but I didn't want to send it not only immediately, but also one more. I don't know why.
Cheng Hao said with a smile, "I heard that the two daughters are still waiting to be married. Isn't it a dowry before recruiting?"
The king shook his head. This handwriting was too big. Could it be that the second lady really couldn't get married? Besides, I don't know his family, and I won't act like this.
Wang Yansuo said, "If not, it is now famous. I have heard of it before, not to mention such a big move here."
Cheng Hao also shook his head, "I don't think so. It's better to be cautious if there is no virtuous brother"
The king said while toasting, "Brother Bochun, my value will not be as good as 4,000 taels of silver."
When Wang saw Cheng Hao, Wang Yansao didn't know what medicine was sold in this Jiaodeyou gourd. They thought to themselves: It would cost almost 2,000 taels to buy this ship. Not to mention tossing around in Jincheng, even if they didn't tosss, they would have to spend all their property.
But then again, I'd rather let people die than scare people to death! The soldiers will come and see what's going on tomorrow.
He raised his glass again and said, "After I finished dealing with the ship, I loaded the ship and set off. I will resign this time to invite you two."
Cheng Hao replied, "The weather has just turned warm. If there is no brother, he will transport coal back to the capital. Can it be sold?"
Wang said, "I'm afraid that the supply is in short supply."
Cheng Hao smiled and said, "You often make amazing actions. Let's see how your coal is in short supply when the weather is warm." The king laughed and said to his heart, "What's wrong with this?"
Wang didn't know that during the period when he was not in the capital, something happened in the capital. There was a reason for this matter. Once a doorman of Zhao Zongshi reported to Zhao Zongshi that a young woman went to Lord Ouyang Xiu and asked Lord Ouyang Xiu to plead for Lord Di Qing.
This young woman was Yuexia. After that, Yuexia was placed under house arrest in Pu's mansion. Zhao Zongshi held a funeral for her biological father, and Yuexia took the opportunity to escape from Pu's mansion. It has been more than a year, and Zhao Zongshi has forgotten it.
Mr. Zhao is not a three-wife and four concubines. Gao, whom he married to the emperor, is also a childhood sweetheart. He has a deep relationship and no other maids. Even after he became the emperor, he still said, "No one on the left and right." On that day, I grabbed the moon to find out the relationship between her and Di Qing. In addition, of course, the moon is beautiful, but Zhao Zongshi is really a little entangled. So Yuexia fled, and it took him a long time to find out, but he didn't take it to heart.
In this world, I'm not afraid that there are no good things, but I'm afraid that there are no good people, such as that doorman. He ran to tell the prince that the little woman appeared again and lived in Meyer's house. Her name was Liang Yuexia, and she was the daughter of Di Qing.
Zhao Zongshi was annoyed. How could this king confront me everywhere? Today, I'm going to try you. He sent someone to hear that Wang has arrived in Jincheng and is ready to transport coal back to the capital. It happened that he was also building a ship and ordered someone to bring a letter to this Jiao Deyou.
He pretended not to know Liang Yue's background and still called him Miss Liang. I have to ask the king for transportation and need a ship. Some people learned that there was a Liang girl in Meyer's house, and she was willing to help the king's business prosper. She specially gave a boat in exchange for Liang's daughter to enter the house.
Wang didn't know these things. When he was on his way to the Zhou family dock with Yu Danian, he joked about Yu Danian. He heard that there was a second lady waiting to marry in the house this week, and he didn't know what he looked like. Unexpectedly, Yu Da Nian said sullenly, "If Zhoufu really intends to recruit a son, the second lady will suffer."
Wang knew that he spoke bluntly: "Son, my family is rich and talented. What's the trouble?"
Yu Danian said, "I heard that Mr. Su is talented and romantic. Mr. Wang is rich but seems to be demented."
Wang was stunned: "Where did this come from?"
Yu Danian said, "There is only a girl under the moon in the prince's heart, and it is rare for the young girl to be favored by the prince, not to mention other women, who are also neglected."
Wang Biangang seems to report injustice for Rouer. It's not right to listen carefully. Yu Danian doesn't want the second Miss of the Zhou family to recruit. So he asked with a smile, "Dinian, have you ever seen this second lady?"
Yu Danian said, "Of course I've seen it. I've been to the dock recently and have seen it two or three times." The king smiled and said nothing.
The two of them came to Zhou's house, and the family informed them that they would lead them into the house after waiting for a while. Wang thought to himself that the arrogance of Jiao Deyou was not small. Usually, even the magistrate of Cheng Hao County knew that he would welcome him when he visited.
The king walked to the door of the hall and saw a man in his thirties greeting him in the hall. This man is very burly, and his body is like He Li Bo, but his round face, his face is as black and red as Li Jian's old man, tiger-eyed, and his voice is like a bell. He stood there and arched his hand and said loudly, "Is it Wang Ruowu next to the king?"
Wang's side was talking nonsense, and his airs were not small, but he politely arched his hand and said, "It was I came to visit Jiao Gong. I came in a hurry and disturbed him."
Jiao Deyou invited Wang to enter the main hall. The two of them sat down. Wang saw Yu Danian standing outside the porch and looking left and right, and he knew a little more in his heart.
Wang Biao arched his hand and said, "I was going to customize the transport ship like Jiaogong dock, but I didn't expect it to be delivered so soon."
The man's so anxious friend looked up and down at Wang and said, "These two ships have been ordered by someone for a long time, but the owner of the ship paid the deposit two or three months late, so I can't keep them for him. Naturally, Mr. Wang will use them first."
Wang side thanked him and said, "I didn't bring enough silver on this trip. Now it is delivered to me. I have to go back to Beijing to get the silver before I can pick up the boat."
Jiao Deyou said, "Silver is not silver, it doesn't matter. You should make friends."
Wang pang shook his head and said, "Brother, settle the accounts clearly. Jiao Gong still says a number, so that I can go back and prepare."
Jiao Deyou said, "If I sell this boat to others, I can get 200 taels of gold, but the prince is famous, and it is calculated as 2,000 silver, and I won't lose money."
Wang listened to him say that it was not much different from the budget, so he said, "When it comes to the dock, I will also pay the deposit. I will pick up the ship when I come back from the capital to pay all the money."
Jiao Deyou smiled and said, "What's the need? I'm afraid you can't run away."
Wang listened to him and was very uncomfortable. He seemed to be above the momentum, so he said, "My side of the king has no merit. The deposit of 200 taels of silver is not small. Within the normal construction time of the ship, I will not lose you a point with all the money."
Jiao Deyou looked at him and felt that the king was a little different. He seemed to be a little arrogant and said, "You just don't give me a penny. It's worth giving you this boat to you. Why should you be so proud? There are many ways to get to know nobles.
Wang side smiled and said, "It's just that Jiao Gong, the noble man, is too big to be restrained." After saying a few words, he stood up and wanted to say goodbye.
Wang Pang really wanted this boat in his heart, but he would rather go a few times than let the people press.
Seeing that the king was about to leave, Jiao Deyou said, "Come on, there is another ship. Do you want it or not? It was given to you by someone else."
Wang Bian was puzzled. Jiao Deyou handed Zhao Zongshi's letter to Wang Bian. Wang Bian knew that this week's dock was also a way for the imperial court, so it went smoothly. Whether it was a warship or a cargo ship, it was mostly built for the royal family. That's why I have such a family background.
After reading the letter, the king laughed. Jiao Deyou asked, "Did the prince take the ship?"
Wang said whether Brother Jiao would like to drink with the ship tonight, and he should practice it for his younger brother. Jiao Deyou sneered in his heart. Your little appearance was high, and he was not afraid that the boat could not afford it. I heard that someone sent the boat and agreed to everything.
But on the thought, if the king took the boat, he would be like a fish in water in the future, and he would not be offended. He said, "At sunset, I met the prince at the pier of Jinxiangfu."
The king got up and left and went back to Jinxiang to prepare. At sunset and dusk, the king set up a banquet on the bow of the ship behind him, and the two of them sat opposite each other and drank against each other.
Seeing that the moon rose into the sky, a bright moon shone on both sides, and more than a dozen people came from the Jinxiang Mansion like a wharf, each holding torches. Walking into the dock, the dock is clear.
Wang stood up and looked at Jiao Deyou. Naturally, Jiao Deyou also looked at him. Wang sneered and said, "Jiao Gong said today, now I'll give you an answer. Tell me which one is Mr. Zhao's."
Jiao Deyou looked at Wang's serious face and said to your heart, a child under twenty, what else can he do, so he pointed to the previous ship and said, "That's it."
Wang Nodded and looked at the ship solemnly, but said to Jiao Deyou, "Do you know Zhao Zongshi, who Miss Liang is?"
Jiao Deyou's face was expressionless: "It's probably just Mr. Wang's heart. The prince took the boat, which is also a matter of current affairs."
Wang side smiled and said, "Ship, I took it. I'm afraid that Jiao Gong will be embarrassed, but Zhao Zongshi said that I can't agree. I can only answer him with practical actions." Jiao Deyou was suddenly shocked. Wang's eyes were no longer the teenager who had just drunk and talked to the sky. To an angry lion, no matter how thick the sky was thick, Wang Bian waved his hand and roared, "Fire, burn the ship in front of me!!"
With the order of the king, more than a dozen villagers jumped on the bow of the boat and threw the torches at the mast. The king ordered people to pour oil on it. As soon as they dipped in the fire, they burned. More than a dozen torches were thrown away at the same time. After a while, the wind helped the fire. There was a gas fire on the ship, and the boat crackled into the sky.
The king will never press this tone. The ship worth 2,000 taels of silver was torched by the king. He was really angry and turned into a beautiful face. He was very angry to see that he was the crown prince. The ship on the future Emperor Yingzong was shocked regardless of the Jiao Deyou around him.
The firelight shone on the unruly and handsome face beside the king, and a smile appeared on the corners of his mouth, a kind of contempt and arrogance. I don't care who you are. My people will never compromise on what I want to do!
Note of this article: The Song Dynasty did not take the nobleness and humble as the standard, but the difference between virtuous or not, which was the popular name of the Song people. The nobles are called the public, the sages are the king, and the rest are called you. In the Northern Song Dynasty, father-in-law was generally known as the elders and father-in-law, and the word father-in-law was used more.
