Cry for Song

Chapter 093 Protect Brother Xiao Wusong

As soon as Dai Zong entered the door, he saw the king coming forward and said, "Your Majesty, you have arrived. I've been here for two or three days, and I'm thinking about where to find you."

Wang Ban smiled and said, "No wonder it's Shenxing Taibao. One person is faster than our two horses."

"God's Taibao." Shi Qian, who was beside him, asked curiously, "Is this Brother Dai's nickname?"

Dai Zong hurriedly said, "What nickname? The prince is flattered."

The king shook his head. Did he give the nickname himself? Dai Zong said again, "I saw the military official's book as soon as I came. He also knew that you were going to Qinghe County, so he specially said hello to the hotel hall along the way. Once I saw you two, I went to inform him. I also listened to him. I guess he would arrive soon."

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Wu Ling to come to the inn. Before he entered the house, he had heard the greetings of the shopkeeper and Xiao Er: "Wu Shishu, the guest you are waiting for is upstairs." Then there was the sound of the stairs. Wu Ling almost ran up all the way. As soon as she pushed the door, she saw him sitting next to the king. Wu Ling came to the king in three steps and pulled the king in two steps, and he was a little choked.

Wang was also very excited. This was the brother who was born and died in the battlefield that year. Seeing that he was nearly 40 years old, his hair and beard were a little gray. After more than ten years, he was gone in a flash, he couldn't help sighing in his heart.

"Sit down, sit down, change the time, and give tea to the martial arts book quickly." The king was busy and ordered.

"Your Majesty, why did you come? We are anxious to wait."

"On the way, I passed Liang Shanbo and happened to have something to do with Ruan Xing's family, so I delayed the trip for a few days. Tell me how you have been these years."

"Even if it's okay, I always feel that I'm not happy when I'm with the prince."

"How's your home? Is Wu Nan?" Wang asked with concern.

"My family is still living a stable life. My father-in-law used to be the county magistrate of the county, but now he has stepped down. Fortunately, trusting the county magistrate is also a person at the door of the old government office. Aren't I still hanging this official's position? Wu Nan is also an adult. She married a daughter-in-law and has her own business. When can give birth to a son and a half daughter, she will bring her sister-in-in-law. Take care of it. Wu Ling said happily, it seems that life is not bad.

It seems a little inappropriate for Wang to greet Wu Ling to go with him as soon as he comes. After all, it is not as good as before. Wu Ling has also established a family and career. Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "It is also his blessing for Wu Nan to have an uncle like you. In those years, your brother Wu Su also worked for me. Unfortunately, he left earlier. Wu Nan's child is now What kind of business are you doing? Let him follow me.

Wu Ling smiled and said, "In a small business, I opened a porridge cake shop in the county. It's not bad. You can't follow the prince. You can't let the prince eat porridge and cook cakes."

Wang also smiled, but when he heard the cooking cake once, he thought that the family happened to be surnamed Wu, so he asked, "Are there many people surnamed Wu who make cooking cakes in Qinghe County?"

"Let's not talk about making cooking cakes. It's just our family with the surname of Wu in Qinghe County, so it's easy to find us here."

Wang's heart thumped when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "Do you have any children in Wuling?"

Wu Ling smiled shyly and said, "The prince is laughing. The dog Wu Song is six years old this year."

Wang Bong almost jumped out of the chair: "Your son's name is Wu Song."

Wu Ling was shocked and asked blankly, "Why, isn't this name good? Why don't you change it?"

"Okay, how can you change the name casually, very good, very good very good."

This frowned and said very well. Everyone wondered what was wrong with the prince. The king didn't do anything. He just thought that he was going to come to the Song Dynasty for a reform drama, but he didn't expect to let the future people stir it into a prequel to the Water Margin.

He suddenly thought of another thing and asked, "Which daughter did Wu Nan marry?"

"This girl's maiden name is Pan."

The king grinned. Now he heard Wu Ling and said again, "This family was originally a small business to open a porridge shop. Wu Nan learned the craft to bake cakes next door. As soon as he went to the porridge shop, the shopkeeper Pan saw that Wu Nan was honest and honest. However, there was a ruffian in the county who proposed marriage to the Pan family. The shopkeeper Pan would rather marry his daughter to Wu Nan than marry the ruffian."

"This is also related to Wu Ling's work at the gate of the government."

"Your Majesty, you are right. I took care of you at the door of the government, and the young couple will not suffer losses. The girl passed the door, and the two families opened the porridge cake shop. The business is getting better and better. My eldest brother can be at ease if he has a spirit in heaven."

Wang's heart is really full of heart. Although the name is right, the fate may not be the same after the previous experience. Several people chatted for a while. Wu Ling said, "Your Majesty, you are here for a wronged night tonight. It's not easy to walk on this snowy night. I'll pick you up in the county early tomorrow morning."

"Well, by the way, I'll ask again if there is a family surnamed Ximen in Qinghe County."

"No." Wu Ling replied very simply.

"I'm sure not."

Wu Ling thought for a while: "Your Majesty, there is such a large place in Qinghe County. Although I have been responsible for the promotion of officials for many years, all the big and small families in the county also know it. There are all surnames, but there is no Ximen."

Now the king was relieved. He laughed and said, "There is no best."

Looking at Wang's strange smile, Wu Ling was curious but inconvenient to ask more questions. He thought that it was probably the prince had been away for 14 years, and it was normal that he didn't understand some things.

The next morning, Wang Bian and others came to the county seat of Qinghe County. The county seat is not very large, but it is densely populated. The county has six towns under its jurisdiction. The county seat is located in six towns. The county seat is oval. The inner and outer sides of the city wall are built with seven layers, and the middle is rammed with earth. Hundreds of ash slag is covered with a thickness of 1 foot. It is 3 feet high and 2 feet wide. There are There are three gates in the east, west and south, but there is no north gate. The government buildings, temples and theater buildings in the county are quite prosperous. The east and west Zishi Street on the north and south Lion Road divide the city from east, west, north and south.

"Is Wu Nan's porridge cake shop on this Zishi Street?" Wang Bing thought of Wu Dalang's residence in the Water Margin and asked.

Wu Nan smiled and said, "The prince only thinks about Wu Nan. If he knew how happy he would be, you are right, but it's still early. If you want to taste the craftsmanship of their young couple, you have to wait for an hour. It's better to sit down first and recognize your own door."

Wang also smiled. He thought that Wu Dalang's cooking cake was famous, but he wanted to see if the daughter-in-law surnamed Pan of Wu University was virtuous and virtuous. If it was really as written by the god Shi Nai'an, he would not have to wait for Wu Song to appear. But think again, Wu Song is just six years old now, and his daughter-in-law is more than ten years older than Wu Song. When Wu Song is an adult, Pan Jinlian is also a half-old Xu Niang, and she still talks about hooking up or not.

Several people came to Wuling's house while talking. Wuling was just an official's book in the county. The six rooms in the county government office were not appointed by the imperial court. The staff of the six rooms of the government office said "sold points", "book clerks", "book office", "book service", "Xu official" and so on. None of the members have salaries and food silver. They can only rely on the meager paper and pen fees, transcription fees, food and food expenses, etc. to make a living. Therefore, they can only rely on all kinds of self-interest to make up for their low income. In these positions, the officials are officials, powerful and powerful, and work under the direct leadership of the county, so there are often some rewards and welcome people. There are also many, so the income is still medium-sized, but the martial arts age is straightforward and disdains to make a living on self-interest. His father-in-law is also a clean official, so his house looks a little shabby.

One person's high courtyard wall enters the three main rooms of the courtyard. The ear room in the courtyard is the kitchen or pile of debris. The six- or seven-year-old child is waving a high broom with him, struggling to clear the snow on the way from the courtyard to the main room. When he heard the sound of the courtyard door, he looked up and saw Wu Ling coming back with three or four people, so he threw down the broom and shouted that his father came back. I ran over.

The woman greeted her from the room: "But the prince has arrived. I'm shabby. The prince, please come to the room quickly."

Wu Ling didn't care about this simple house: "Bake up the water quickly and go to the teahouse to buy some good tea."

The woman seemed to have something to say. Wang Zong saw that his face was slightly difficult and smiled and said, "Neither than outsiders. Dai Zong, please go there faster." With that, he took out some silver and handed it to Dai Zong. He looked down at the child who was hugging Wu Ling's crotch: "This is Xiao Wu Song."

Wu Ling said to the king that his son was young, so he smiled and said, "The child is stubborn. As soon as he goes out, he fights with the children next door. He is no match for him when he is two or three years old. I let my mother-in-law look at him to avoid trouble."

"What can a six-year-old child do?" Wang patted Wu Song's head.

"The prince doesn't know that he sealed the eyes of the child next door a few days ago, and now the child's eyes are still blue, this child." Wu Ling's words were full of smiles.

"Who let him laugh at my brother? Now I'm weak. When I grow up, I'll twist off his head." Xiao Wusong raised his loose cotton trousers and looked unconvinced.

"This child knows how to fight and kill, but he is really like your father." The woman whispered.

Wu Ling laughed and said, "Of course my son will follow me. When you grow up, let you go to war with the prince. The prince, please come to the room. Don't stand in the yard and talk."

Wang's heart was full of mixed feelings. At the age of three, he looked at the age of seven years younger. At a young age, Wu Song's fierceness had been revealed for the first time. The child's child's words were unscrupulous. Looking at this tiger-headed child, Wang's child, Wang really liked it from the bottom of his heart. He followed Wu Ling to the main room. Seeing that the snow had fallen to the thickness of his ankles this night, he ordered, "Shi Qian, you Play with Wu Song for a while and make a snowman for him.

"Snowman, what is it?" Shi Qian looked blank.

Wu Ling stopped at the door when he heard this: "Yes, it was more than ten years ago when we made a snowman. At that time, he walked forward for us to make a snowman, thinking as if it was the same thing in front of us."

Wang's side also appeared in front of him. He thought that it may not be suitable to take Wu Ling with him like this. It's good to relive it, so he rolled up his sleeves and said, "Come on, let's pile up another one."

When Dai Zong came back, Wang's side Wu Ling was moving to make a big snowman at the door of the yard. Wu Song stood in the snow and clapped his hands and smiled. Three or five neighbors around him poked out their heads and looked. The snowman was made up. Wang Bian put the broom in the snowman and clapped his hands: "It's done, Let's go for tea." Several people returned to the room with a smile to drink tea and chat.

At noon, Wu Ling took Wang to Wu Nan's porridge and cake shop. As soon as he went out, Wang was happy, and the doorsteps of the neighbors around him imitated them and piled snowmen of different sizes.
