Chapter 311 Dust
Chapter 3yi
Song Nan thanked and ordered Wang Yong, Li Da Niu and others to stay in the yard and not disturb them. He went around behind the house, and there was a fenced courtyard behind the house. The yard was lush with some melons, fruits and vegetables, and an old hen under the grape rack walked leisurely with more than a dozen chicks.
"Wow, wow." A little flower dog screamed at Song Nan milkyly, which scared Song Nan.
"Huahua, don't scream, don't be rude." The crisp and delicate sound came from behind the tree outside the fence. Song Nan raised his eyes and saw a girl with big eyes behind the tree, frowning and scolding the dog.
"Your excellency, please follow me. My father is in the jujube forest behind." The girl's voice was crisp, with a yellow daisy on her temples, a well-proportioned and beautiful face, and a pair of big eyes like bright stars in the night, looking at Song Nan curiously and fearlessly.
"It's a good work, girl." Song Nan smiled and bowed his hand.
The girl smiled and said, "Come with me." After saying that, he turned around and left. Song Nan hurriedly followed him and walked along the path stepped out of the vegetation.
"Are you the commander of Jinyiwei?" The girl grabbed a handful of weeds and threw them while asking.
"Yes."
"What kind of official is that? Is it big?"
"Well... Anyway, it's not big or small." Song Nan smiled.
The girl turned around and looked at Song Nan and said, "Is there a former official of my father?"
Song Nan said, "I'm afraid it's bigger."
The girl said, "I don't believe you are so young, how can you be such a big official? It must have lied to me."
Song Nan was amused by her charming look: "It doesn't matter whether you are an official or not. The key is to be a good official. Like your father, you are a good official."
The girl stopped and tilted her head and said, "My mother also said so, but since my father is a good official, why was he dismissed? Our family has lived here for more than a year. It's not fun at all. I'm almost suffocate.
Song Nan's heart moved and smiled, "Why does your father want to live here? Don't you have a house in other squares in Beijing?"
The girl said, "Yes, but my father doesn't want to live anywhere. Baba built a house here, so my mother and I have to come here to accompany him. My mother said that my father is in a bad mood and living here can relieve my mood."
Song Nan nodded and said, "Your father is naturally in a bad mood. He is a good official, but he has been framed and idle. If so, I am also in a bad mood."
The girl nodded and said, "Yes, my mother also said so. What are you doing here to my father?"
Song Nan said, "I want to ask your father to be an official."
The girl said in surprise, "Can you restore my father to his position?"
Song Nan said, "Maybe."
The girl was happy and frowned again, "I'm afraid it's possible?"
Song Nan said, "What's the matter?"
"Dad said that he would never be an official from now on, but only celebrate his birthday."
Song Nan was stunned and said, "Why?"
The girl said, "Dad said that treacherous tycophants are in charge, and being an official is angry."
Song Nan smiled and said, "So that's it. Your father is not upset."
The girl said, "Yes, my father is hot-tempered and can't see others messing around, otherwise we wouldn't have returned to the capital from the northwest to live in seclusion here."
Song Nan nodded and said nothing. Yang Yiqing put his house on the lake full of graves. The picture was clean, invisible and upset. He was not sure whether he could move him out of the mountain.
"Are you a traitor?" The girl suddenly asked.
Song Nan was stunned. How could she ask such a question? This girl didn't seem to be very sophisticated.
"Why does the girl ask?"
"Dad said that the traitor is in charge, and you are a senior official, so I just asked casually."
Song Nan thought for a moment and said, "I'm not. Treacherous ci is a person who harms the country and the people. I may not be a good official, but I don't harm the country and the people, so I'm not."
The girl thought for a moment and said, "That is to say, you may not be a good person, but you are not a traitor?"
Song Nan smiled bitterly and said, "It can be said, but I think I'm a good person."
The girl smiled and said, "If you can move my father out of the mountain, we don't have to live in this suffocating place anymore, and I will admit that you are a good person."
Song Nan laughed and said, "Okay, it's a deal. In order to become a good person in the girl's mind, I will redouble my efforts."
The girl blushed and said, "I just don't want my father to be unhappy. In fact, I know that my father will be unhappy no matter where he stays, unless he can go back to the northwest to fight with the Tata."
Song Nan looked at the girl's bright eyes and said, "I will do my best. You should also help me. Let's work together."
The girl smiled and pointed to the sparse forest in front of her and said, "When Zaolin arrives, Dad will be there."
Song Nan squinted and saw a jujube forest with sparse leaves not far away. It was faintly visible that there was a gray figure in the open space in the forest, mixed with the sound of the blade breaking through the air.
In the open space of the forest, there are several volumes of books and a pot of tea on a small wooden table. An old man in a well-built cloth is slowly dancing with a three-foot green front in his hand. There are about 50 people at his age, but his hands and feet are not tremble, and his hands are flexible and he is concentive.
Song Nan and the girl named Koer came to the Zaolin. Yang Yiqing was obviously too focused to notice the arrival of the two. The girl opened her mouth, but Song Nan waved her hand slightly and stood behind her hand and watched with a smile.
Yang Yiqing used a set of swordsmanship and stood up. His face was red and energetic.
Song Nan applauded, and the applause shocked Yang Yiqing. In a blink of an eye, she saw the girl and Song Nan standing behind the tree and said doubtfully, "Kouer, who is this?"
Song Nan came forward and arched his hand and said, "I have heard that Yang Da is full of humanities and martial arts for a long time. Today, I really admire this set of swordsmanship and gods with superb skills."
Yang Yiqing bowed back with a puzzled face and said, "Dare to ask the driver..."
Song Nan said, "Song Nan, the commander of Jinyiwei, came to disturb you today, and I hope Lord Yang will forgive you."
Yang Yiqing was stunned and said, "Are you Song Nan, the new commander of Jinyiwei?"
Song Nan said, "That's right."
Yang Yiqing nodded and said, "Although I haven't met Commander Song, I have heard many anecdotes of Commander Song, which is rude; but I don't know how Commander Song has taught me. You and I don't seem to have any friendship."
Song Nan smiled and said, "How dare you talk about friendship with Lord Yang? When Lord Yang dominates the northwest, he is still a child."
Yang Yiqing saw Song Nan's words being modest and decent, and his face was slightly grim. He stretched out his hand and said, "Please sit down, Koer, make tea."
The girl came to the wooden table and took a teacup and poured two cups of herbal tea. Yang Yiqing hung his long sword on the scabbard on the branch and sat on the small stool. Song Nan was not polite and sat on another small wooden stool.
"Lord Yang is really good at enjoying it. He actually installed his house here, which is also very clean and undisturbed." Song Nan smiled.
Yang Yiqing brushed his long face and smiled, "Is this also called enjoyment?" It is surrounded by graves and taboo places that no one has set foot in. The day is gloomy and the ghost fire at night. Is this also a pleasure?
Song Nan said, "A calm state of mind is enjoyment. Sometimes it's better to be with ghosts than to be with others. Sometimes people are more terrible than ghosts, isn't it?"
Yang Yiqing raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "The Song commander's words are so unfathomable that I don't quite understand."
Song Nan smiled and said, "Lord Yang, you don't know from yourself. Isn't Lord Yang hiding in this secluded place to avoid some people who are more disgusting than ghosts and gods?"
Yang Yiqing laughed and said, "Song's command is unpredictable. Yang is just a cloth coat. He spends his old age here. Where did he get so many strange ideas?"
Song Nan laughed and said, "That's what I have to say. I'll forgive you."
Yang Yiqing smiled and said, "Lord Song is busy with official business. He didn't come to find me to play the front. I don't know if I can say it clearly."
Song Nan said, "To be honest, I'm here to talk to Lord Yang about the major events of the court today."
Yang Yiqing waved his hand and smiled and said, "Don't laugh. Yang is getting old and can't stand the trouble of official affairs. He just wants to live a clean day. What does the affairs of the court have to do with me?"
Song Nan smiled and said, "Lord Yang, it is everyone's responsibility to rise and fall in the world. As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, how can you say that the big things in the dynasty have nothing to do with you?"
Yang Yiqing waved his hand and said, "Naturally, everyone can say the big truth, but it sounds ridiculous. Yang really doesn't care about the court. I'm afraid Lord Song has worked hard for nothing."
Song Nan smiled and said, "Lord Yang, I like to speak straight. I heard that Lord Yang is also a straightforward person, otherwise he would not have been offended by the inner court and the outer court at the same time and be fucked to the end."
Yang Yiqing frowned and said, "Song Commander was here to embold me."
Song Nan said, "How dare you? I just heard about Lord Yang, and I feel a little upset for Lord Yang. This year, my conscientiously garriling the border and loyalties have ended up like this. It's very chilling to think about it."
Yang Yiqing smiled and said, "Commander Song, I really don't quite understand your intention. Yang hasn't come to the point of asking someone to comfort him; Yang asked himself that he has a clear conscience, which is enough."
Song Nan smiled and said, "I admire that Lord Yang is detached, but he can't help falling into the handle of unfaithful words."
Yang Yiqing said angrily, "Song Commander, you should be careful when you speak. Although I'm just a cloth, I can't let Lord Song be slandered casually. I have been an official for more than 20 years and dedicated to serving the Ming Dynasty. If you are loyal, you think you are unmatched."
Song Nan smiled and said, "Don't be excited. That's what happened in the past. Now you are hiding here to enjoy the tranquility. You don't care about the affairs of the court or the northwest town will fall into chaos. What is this unfaithful?"
Yang Yiqing shouted angrily, "Hold up, it's my fault that only the people who are connected to govern in his position."
Song Nan said, "People say how capable they are, how big their responsibilities are. Is it right that Lord Yang has the ability to garrison the border and suppress the enemy, but let the border affairs be ruined?"
Yang Yiqing was very angry. Song Nan's words were sharp, but it was a messy rogue speech. It really couldn't be refuted and swallowed.
"Chief Song, what on earth are you going to say?"
Song Nan smiled and said, "I don't know if you have heard about the emperor's patrol?"
Yang Yiqing said calmly, "I know, but I will not comment."
Song Nan said, "I don't want adults to judge what the emperor did. After the emperor went on a tour, he provoked a large-scale attack by the Tsars and almost fell into prison. In the middle of the court, he was deeply worried about the inability to rescue the border town and the poor transmission of information. The disadvantages of border towns fighting separately, rescue delays and slow decision-making have been exposed. I don't know what Lord Yang thinks.
