Chapter 059 Father and son get together

Jiangning Mansion, now in Nanjing, used to be the key place of "six generations of luxury" and "ten dynasties of Beijing",

The Southern Tang Dynasty (937, 975), one of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms, built its capital in Jinling, known as Jiangning Mansion, and built a city. In the Song Dynasty, this place was located in Shengzhou. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Jiangning Mansion was the capital of Jiangnan East Road.

Baitang was originally a low-lying water accumulation land on the way from the east gate of Jiangning Mansion to Jiangshan. Since Wang Anshi bought this land, he hired people to dig a pond to build a house, dig a ditch to divert water, and pick up the soil not only filled the low-lying land, but also a small hill and planted trees on the hill. For so many years, there have been a piece of trees. The wood has grown into a bowl with a thick mouth, and summer has become shade, and this late autumn season is even more charming when the leaves are paved.

Under the hill, the king and others took their horses and looked up at the hill and could faintly see a house.

"Your Highness, I'm going to explore the way." Shi Qian volunteered to come forward to inquire first,

"No, it must be here." Wang was very sure that this place reminded him of Linchuan's former residence, the Yanbuling in the southeast of Linchuan Middle County, or his father liked to look high at the place where he lived not far from Lincheng.

Four people and four horses stepped on the path covered with fallen leaves and went up the hill. The thick leaves stepped on the feet as if they were covered with a carpet. There was only one house on the hill, which was not so much a house as three houses, because this house had no courtyard at all.

This is convenient. You don't even have to knock on the door of the courtyard to get to the front of the house. Wang side and others tied up their horses and walked towards the house. It was quiet around, and occasionally there was the sound of birds flying from the deathbed.

The king stepped forward and patted the door. No one answered inside. The door was gently pushed open, and the panoramic view of the house was right in front of him.

The decoration in the room is very simple. The shelf by the wall is equipped with daily applications. There is also a table and chairs in the room. There are basin racks by the door, and the wing room is not big. There is a cabinet and a bed. There is a lamp on the table by the bed. There is a bookcase by the wall, which is full of some books.

The king returned to the living room and looked at a towel on the basin rack in the room. The king stepped forward and touched it. There was still some moisture. It seemed that his father had used it. Since the door was not closed, his father must not have gone far.

Shi Qian came in from the outside and grabbed the steamed bun in his hand and nibbled it: "Your Majesty, it seems that the old man has not gone far. This steamed bun is still hot."

Ma Sheng took the steamed bun from his hand: "I know how to eat it." After saying that, he put half of it in his mouth,

Wang looked at them like this. He thought that he was busy on his way when he was about to Jiangning Mansion. Several people didn't eat lunch. "You go and eat something first."

"Your Majesty, we have finished the dry food we brought on the way." Shi Qian said, "I thought there was delicious food here. I didn't expect it to be more shabby than your Meyer mansion. I found such a bun in the kitchen for a long time. By the way, there are some pickles. Ma Sheng, you don't want to eat it."

The king took out a tael of silver from his arms: "You go to Jiangningfu City. This is enough for you to eat and drink, and buy some rice and noodles."

He threw the silver to Shi Qian, and Shi Qian immediately smiled: "Brother Hu, Ma Sheng, it's my treat."

Wang Bian walked out of the house with them and watched the three people leave. Wang Bian himself walked around the hill. Although the house was simple, the surrounding environment was very good. The scenery was beautiful and there were some small animals in the forest. Wang Bian smiled secretly and had to spend a lot of money on environmental protection.

There was a popping sound on the south side of the hill, unlike the sound of a pheasant and rabbit. The king walked over and saw a woodcutter cutting firewood: "Brother, do you know where the owner of this house has gone?"

The woodcutter straightened his waist and looked at the king's side: "Look for Mr. Wang, go to Xie Gongdun to have a look. From here, facing north is Xie An's former residence in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Mr. Wang often goes there to rest, or Dinglin Temple in the south, where Mr. Wang has a study, and so on, wait, I seem to have seen him go to the west. The Baogong Pagoda over there, if all If you can't find it, go to Sun Quan's tomb in the east. Maybe he feels like Jiangdong there.

Wang was happy when he heard it: "Haha, brother, you have pointed to the southeast and northwest. The room on the hill is a cover. The study, the bedroom and the viewing platform are all around. No wonder there is no wall in this mound. This is just a big garden."

The woodcutter himself smiled and said, "You're really right. You're from the capital, right? Let's go. I'll take you to his place."

He said that he tied the newly cut firewood on his back and strode to the house on the hill of Wang Anshi,

Wang Bian felt that the woodcutter was a little interesting. He looked at his age relative to himself, but he did not speak vulgarly. The biggest advantage of the Song Dynasty was that everyone had books. Whether it was a woodcutter farmer or an artist in a handicraft workshop, Wang Bian followed him and asked, "What, are there many people coming to the capital recently?"

"There are many, not only in the capital, but also people from all over the world. It was not like this before. I heard that the son of the prime minister came back. I thought he was dead before. These people came to visit the prime minister again. Do you know what this is called? This is called poverty on the street and no one asked, and the rich man has distant relatives."

After he finished speaking, he realized that he had said too much. He turned his head and looked at Wang and smiled, "Son, don't mind. I didn't say anything about you. You are different from those people at a glance..."

"I have three heads and six arms."

"That's not there, but seeing how sincere you are looking for the prime minister, you don't see those people. Some come to look at them and shake their heads and sigh, and some refuse to sit for a while. Even if the prime minister Wang sees these people, he will politely send them away."

The king didn't say anything. The woodcutter put the firewood into the kitchen, boiled a pot of water on the stove in the hall, scooped it out into a copper pot, and then carried the copper pot room as if he had entered his own house: "Sir, if you don't think it's this simple, drink some hot water."

"It's your hard work." Wang Zong smiled,

After finishing, the woodcutter picked up the coarse cloth hand towel on the basin rack and washed it in the basin, wiped the sweat on his head, and then put it back to the basin rack. Wang thought, was he wrong to judge that the hand towel was originally used by him,

After wiping the sweat, the woodcutter poured himself a glass of water and sat down. He talked to the king and said, "Son, did you come here alone?"

"Oh, I still have an entourage to buy some food in the city."

"Yes, that's right. Look at the prime minister, there is nothing in the kitchen. I want to know that I brought it to him when he came. Well, as soon as I saw a steamed bun, I thought about it at night. Now I don't know that the stinky boy has come, and even the steamed bun is gone..."

There are only two people in the room, him and Wang, which seems to be a little inappropriate: "Look at me, I'm not talking about you."

Wang Zong shook his head and smiled: "The steamed bun was eaten by my attendant. We were busy on the way and gave them a few hungry. What do you say, brother? If you don't mind, how about we use it together when my attendant comes back from the meal?"

"This, how embarrassing is this? Haha, it's better to obey than to be respectful. My surname is Chao, and I'm the second. Everyone calls me Chao Er."

"I don't know who Brother Chao is."

This person is a little bit stupid. I just heard that his surname is Chao, and Wang was shocked. I'm really afraid that such a person is Chao Gai, but Chao Gai is from Yuncheng County. That place is far away from Shandong.

"Hey, what kind of person is it? They are all passers-by. After a long time, passers-by become friends. I often come to collect firewood. Wang Gong supplemented me a little. By the way, he let me watch the mountain and forest. At that time, there was an old mother at home. With Wang Gong's subsidy, I finally sent my mother to an end. Now I am the only one in my family. In addition to helping Wang Gong see the woods, I also It's all right."

"I just heard from Brother Chao that he was going to eat that bun for dinner, and what did Wang Xianggong eat when he came back?"

"He, he won't come back at night."

"I won't come back."

"Yes, he reads in Dinglin Temple and stays in Xie Gongdun. He has three caves of cunning rabbits, and this prince has five or six caves."

Wang wanted to let him take him there. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he said outside the door and said, "Haha, who compares me to a rabbit?"

Before the words fell, Wang Anshi appeared outside the door. Wang stood up in a hurry, and the man who entered the door was also stunned. The man was full of white hair, his beard on his forehead was all white, and he was a crutch in his hand. He was a little old.

"Dad." The king came forward,

Poo, Chao Er just drank a mouthful of water and immediately sprayed out. For a long time, I didn't ask who came.

"Son the side." Wang Anshi narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang. His hand shook and pulled Wang and looked up and down,

"Zhu Er, help me with the lamp quickly."

It was very dusk, and the light in the room was a little dim. Chao Er quickly turned on the light. Wang Anshi's excited lips shibbed, and he burst into tears for a moment.

Fourteen years, Wang said that he could not quantify the loss of time. Even before leaving the capital, he knew that some people had passed away. He just sighed, but at this moment, his old father was in front of him. It didn't feel like seeing his old subordinates, and Wang could talk and laugh; it was not like seeing Wang Shi, Wang You can be excited; let alone seeing Su Xiaomei, Wang must be like a man who goes home,

At this moment, he can't help it anymore. The man has tears, but he will always be a child in front of his parents, and he can shed tears unscrupulously. Wang can't help kneeling in front of Wang Anshi. This kneeling is the nature of the instinct of the body, and it is also a kind of guilt. If he does not disappear for 14 years, if he I was more cautious in those years. If I hadn't believed in the so-called you, you would have lived up to you. If...

Too much if, no matter what, work harder, at least I won't let my father go through so many hardships and bear the charge of history. At this moment, the king was distressed and regretful. All the feelings have come to my heart since I came back.

Father and son cried with a headache, cried about their own experience, and cried even more about the lost relative Wang Yuanze,

The man's crying is extremely infectious. Chao Er wiped his tears and said, "It's not easy for you father and son to meet again. This is a great joy. All right, all right."

Wang Anshi stood up with Wang's side, and Wang's side helped Wang Anshi sit down: "Dad, I was going to ask Chao Er to take me to you, and you came back."

"Yes, Mr. Wang, why did you suddenly come back?"

Wang Anshi said, "I just heard that now the whole Jiangning Mansion has moved up and down to clean up the road of the city, saying that it would be cleaned up the water and splashed on the loess pads of the street, and that there would be a curfew to strengthen the vigilance. I thought about this. This movement is not for ordinary people. I just want to come back and pack up and go out to avoid it for a few days."

Wang was like this. He was relieved. Suddenly, Chao Er said, "It's bad, my son. The attendant who went to buy food hasn't come back yet. He can't get out if he closes the gate."
