North Ya, back mountain, bamboo forest.

A five-year-old boy was practicing archery, and there was a middle-aged strong man standing beside him, surrounded by more than a dozen guards with knives.

And not far away, there is also a panda, which is while gnawing on bamboo.

"Teacher, can I rest?" The child asked.

The strong man smiled: "Go ahead." ”

The boy immediately dropped his bow and arrows, jumped up and ran towards the panda, rubbed the panda's head and said, "Mouse, come and play with me." ”

"Click!"

The panda wants to break the bamboo in one bite, ignoring the child, and concentrating on enjoying the food.

The young boy took out a handful of preserved fruits from his arms and said with a smile: "Look at the mouse, what is this?" ”

The panda threw away the bamboo in an instant, hugged the child, and stood on its tail with a piece of freshly pulled.

After a while, the child's clothes were torn by the panda, and there was a bloody mark on the back of his hand. But the child couldn't help but laugh bitterly, had a lot of fun with the panda, and used preserved fruit as a reward to direct the panda to do all kinds of antics.

The child's name is Song Ce, and he can also be called Wang Ce.

In comparison, the name of the panda is very ugly, who let Song Ling'er pick it up, it looks like a hairless little mouse.

As for the middle-aged strong man, it was Wang Yuan's martial arts teacher Yuan Gang. He is already the number one general in Shuidong, the commander of Song Linger's personal guards, with 4,000 Miao soldiers and 800 Qing troops under his command. His eldest son, Yuan Zhi, also Yuan Da's elder brother, is currently under the orders of Song Gongzi and commands 500 Song soldiers.

"Childe, Childe!"

A servant of the Song family rushed over and bowed his hand to Yuan Gang and said, "General Yuan." ”

Yuan Gang was practicing the knife, put away the knife and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The servant explained: "Today, the eunuch has already arrived, and the lady asked the prince to go back to receive the decree. ”

Yuan Gang immediately beckoned to Wang Ce: "Ace, go home." ”

"Oh," Wang Ce took two steps and turned to wave at the panda, "Mouse, come back with me." ”

The panda suddenly ran behind Wang Ce like a pug. When going downhill, the forefoot stepped into the air, curled up into a meat ball, and rolled down the mountain, making Wang Ce laugh.

Beiya had already gathered countless people, because they had been on official business three days ago, and knew that the eunuch was going to come to read the holy decree today.

Song Gongzi is also among them, the year before last he blindly started a number of projects, although they are all projects to benefit the people, but it has attracted collective resistance from Tusi and the people. This old man finally knew that it was powerful, and while alleviating the family conflicts, he recuperated with the people and stopped most of the projects.

However, the school project has not stopped.

After the land was changed and returned, the Song family was still in charge of nine small toasts. In each Tusi jurisdiction, there is at least one social school, and Song Gongzi is in Daxing culture and education.

"Grandma!"

Wang Ce ran on his calves.

Song Ling'er smiled and beckoned: "Ace, come here." ”

Wang Ce threw himself into his mother's arms, and looked around with a pair of watery eyes: "There are so many people today, do you want to hold a social drama at home?" ”

Song Ling'er said with a smile: "If you want to receive the holy decree, you also have a share." Suddenly, she saw the hole in her son's clothes, "I have been scratched by the rat again, go back to the house and change into a new one, and I can't be disheveled when I receive the holy decree." ”

As soon as Wang Ce changed his clothes, the eunuch had already arrived in Beiya, and said with a smile: "Song Ling'er, the daughter of Song Ran, the original Guizhou Right Propaganda Envoy, and his son Wang Ce received the order!" ”

Song Ling'er immediately pulled her son over, stood upright, and listened to the eunuch read the holy decree.

The general content is that the emperor gave marriage and sealed Song Ling'er's three-grade edict. However, after regaining Song Ling'er's position as a brocade guard and letting her get married, she must return to the capital to live, and she can no longer control the military power of the Song clan in Shuidong.

Wang Ce, who has just turned five, has a hundred households in Yinjin and has a hundred households, and he will start receiving his salary now. If you participate in the imperial examination in the future, as long as you show talent in the examination, the position of Jinyiwei will be automatically cancelled.

The eunuch placed the holy decree on the incense case, Song Ling'er took his son to kneel, and the rest of the Song family also knelt down.

After the ceremony, the eunuch took the big red envelope, congratulated him for a while, and left Beiya satisfied.

Song Gongzi smiled and said, "Sister, congratulations." ”

"Thank you, brother," Song Ling'er smiled happily, and then sighed, "It's a pity that I can't lead troops in the future, and living in the capital must be very boring." ”

Song Gongzi said: "The girl's family should teach her husband and children, and it is a man's business to lead troops to fight." ”

Song Ling'er didn't bother to discuss this kind of topic with her cousin, so she only instructed: "Brother, you are too broad-minded, I must be on guard against Xiaoxiao after I leave." I will also hand over all the 4,800 elite soldiers in Yuan Gang's hands to you, but don't treat them badly. ”

"Don't worry," Song Gongzi said, "General Yuan is good at fighting, and he will have to rely on him a lot in the future." Alas, I don't know when Ruoxu will come back, I haven't seen him for many years and miss it very much, but I don't expect him to be the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites. ”

Song Ling'er said with a smile: "Didn't Brother also become the right consolation envoy in Guizhou?" ”

Song Gongzi said embarrassedly: "I, the consolation envoy, should be a mess, and there are still many things to learn and improve." Lao Tzu said, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and now I have a deep understanding. Not to mention governing the country, it is the land of governing Tusi, and it must not be impatient, and it must be gentle and drizzle, moisturizing things silently. ”

Song Ling'er reminded: "Don't be too gentle, they will oppose if you force it too quickly, and they will gain an inch if you let it too far." ”

Song Gongzi nodded and said, "I understand." This is the problem of heat, the fire is too small to stew, and the fire is too big to fry. ”

The two brothers and sisters, after some small talk, went their separate ways to prepare.

Song Gongzi went to prepare a dowry for his cousin, and Song Ling'er also called Yuan Gang over, planning to hand over his elite soldiers in advance.

Although it is said that it is an elite soldier, in fact, they are not out of production, they are busy farming, and they are practicing in their spare time. But the victory is that they are all young and strong, and they do not accept conscription, and have more time and energy for military training.

In addition, these soldiers were also allocated land, which were all borderless lands after the war, so they fought very bravely.

Song Ling'er explained the matter clearly, and Yuan Gang was ordered to retreat.

Wang Ce leaned on his mother's knee and asked, "Grandma, is Abba coming back?" ”

"yes, I'll be back soon." Song Ling'er smiled.

Wang Ce was suddenly ecstatic, clapped his hands and said, "I can see Abba, I can see Abba." Hmph, whoever dares to say that I don't have Abba, I'll beat him to death with a stick! ”

Song Ling'er suddenly frowned, and her face was like frost and asked, "Who said you don't have Abba?" ”

Wang Ce said: "Those classmates in the family studies. Song Kuan, Song Zhen, Song Pu, the three of them always laughed at me, but I let the rat scare them and scared Song Pu's urine out. ”

As soon as she heard that all of them were children, Song Ling'er finally suppressed her anger and asked with a smiling face, "Did Ace study today?" ”

Wang Ce nodded and said, "Well, I memorized eight sentences of "Thousand Character Text" in the morning. ”

Song Linger rubbed her son's head: "Hurry up and carry it to Grandma." ”

Wang Ce learned from Mr. Wang, shook his head and recited: "If you know something, you must change it, and you must not forget it." Ignore the shortcomings of the other and rely on their own strengths. The messenger can be covered, but the desire is immeasurable. Ink is sad and silky, and the poem praises the lamb. ”

Song Ling'er asked, "Do you know what it means?" ”

Wang Ce nodded and said, "I know, Mr. has already spoken." If you know that you have made a mistake, you must correct it. To learn useful skills, you must master them and not forget them. Don't talk about other people's shortcomings, and don't rely on your own strengths to be arrogant......"

"It's so smart," Song Ling'er was very happy and praised her, "When Grandma is your age, she can't even memorize the "Three Character Classic", and Ace is already learning the "Thousand Character Text". ”

Wang Ce held his head high: "When I grow up, I want to be the champion like Abba!" ”

Song Ling'er laughed happily: "As long as Ah Ce works hard, he will definitely be able to take the top prize." But you still have to insist on practicing martial arts, you are both civil and military, and you can't be a weak scholar. ”

Wang Ce said matter-of-factly: "Grandma, I'm not weak, I can chase and beat my classmates who are older than me." ”

"Hahahaha," Song Ling'er laughed heartily, and after laughing, she warned again, "Don't fight with your classmates casually." ”

Wang Ce said: "I won't lose, even if I lose, I'll let the rats scratch them, and make sure they cry!" ”

Song Linger said: "Rats are beasts, they don't know how heavy they are, and they will scratch people to death." ”

"Oh, then I won't let the rats scare them." Wang Ce was careful and obedient.

"That's good!"

Song Linger picked up her son: "Let's go, grandma will take you to ride a horse." ”

Wang Ce was overjoyed: "Okay, I can ride a horse again." ”

Five-year-old children, of course, couldn't ride a horse alone, they were all encircled in Song Ling'er's arms.

The mother and son rode horses and galloped in the bamboo forest, followed by more than a dozen guards, and a panda was running and having fun.
