Chapter 239: Change in the New Year (Part I)

At the end of the wax moon is the year.

In a snowstorm that is suitable for the occasion, the New Year comes, which allows the people who have worked hard all year ago to finally rest for a while and spend a good year with their families. Especially for the people of Jiangzhou City, this year is a year worth celebrating, this year is not only a good year, but also even the river bandits who have been in trouble for a long time have been wiped out, presumably everyone's life will be more prosperous in the coming year.

In contrast, although the people in the government have also stopped their official duties early, they are still not idle, regardless of their status, there are still many entertainments that they need to bother to deal with before the New Year, otherwise maybe a wine banquet has not arrived, and a glass of wine has not been respected, and a colleague and boss will be offended unconsciously, and the consequences will be endless.

Even if Sun Tu has only been in Jiangzhou for half a year, and many officials in the city are not very friendly with the new military attaché, he is also busy for a period of time after the year, either drinking at the banquet or on the way to the next banquet, so that he rarely has time to accompany the little girl Ya'er.

Of course, from the fact that he is now widely invited by the officials and gentry in the city, it can also be seen that Sun Tu's status in Jiangzhou is really not low. Not only because he has been regarded as a hero by the people among the people, but also because everyone knows that he is already a close confidant of Taishou Cai Dezhang, and Cai Taishou has now subdued the official Yuan Wang, so Jiangzhou has become his hall, just ask those who have a reputation who will not try their best to curry favor with Taishou, and by the way, he also showed enough enthusiasm and kindness to Sun Tu.

Although he was tired of dealing with such officialdom, Sun Tu still did not forget his own work, so on the third day of junior high school, he deliberately took the time to personally lead people to personally send bags of polished rice noodles and cloth to the township soldiers who were also resting at home, which made the subordinates really flattered, and they were more and more grateful to Sun Tu for this regimental training.

The status of the warriors in this era was already low, and ordinary soldiers were even less valued, so it was naturally impossible for the future generations to have the behavior of the army during the New Year's holidays, and only when they won the foreign war, they would get additional rewards, and at other times it was the greatest luck to be able to get the military salary on time and in number. And now Sun Tu, the boss, not only never deducts their military salaries, but also thinks about them so at the New Year's Festival, and sends New Year's gifts, which naturally makes them grateful.

What everyone didn't know was that the reason why Sun Tu did this was not only to win people's hearts, but also for another reason, that is, to try to take out the things in the Ring Middle Realm warehouse system and check their quality.

Speaking of which, Sun Tu was a little speechless about this warehouse system, since his official position was promoted and his reputation became more and more famous, the system level has increased a lot, and there have been as many as five or six warehouses one after another. However, those warehouses did not bring him any substantial benefits, because the five warehouses were all stacked to the brim, like a hill of rice and flour, and the preliminary estimate was that there were hundreds or thousands of tons.

In terms of quantity, the goods stored in these five warehouses are quite rich, but Sun Tu can't always be an official, so he suddenly changed his career to become a grain merchant. Moreover, these grains have no serious origin, and the large amount will inevitably attract the attention of some people, and they will only cause trouble when the time comes, so Sun Tu can only leave them there in the end, just as if he has never opened a new warehouse.

It wasn't until this Chinese New Year, thinking that those township soldiers had also worked hard for several months, and he wanted to see the quality of these grains in later generations, so he took out a batch of grain and sent them over, and planned to ask them how they felt about these rice noodles after the New Year.

In addition to going to the banquet and visiting his boss to comfort his subordinates, Sun Tu also had to meet many subordinate friends at home who came to greet him during the New Year, especially the subordinates in the prison camp who were still under his control, and these people took this opportunity to come to the door to show goodwill. Sun Tu is not too iron-faced and selfless, so he naturally wants to meet and talk to them.

It can be said that Sun Tu has been very busy since the beginning of the year until the Shangyuan Festival, even if Song Jiang once came to visit him and offered to go to the restaurant with him to drink a glass of water and wine, he politely declined, after all, he was too busy.

And Song Jiang was quite popular some time ago, and he was a busy person with constant drinking and banquets every day, but this time was completely deserted. Not only Sun Tu here, but even Dai Zong and Li Kui had to be busy with all kinds of things to usher in and send him and could not get together with him for a long time, as for the Zhang Shun brothers and other friends in the rivers and lakes, but because their families were outside Jiangzhou City, they stayed in the countryside, and Song Jiang was a prisoner, although he was much freer than ordinary prisoners, but he could not leave Jiangzhou City at will, and he could only refuse their invitations.

In this way, Song Jiangke is a little too unaccustomed to it. You must know that his temperament is to like to be lively, make friends, and when he was a priest in Yuncheng County, once the New Year's festival was full, the family was full of friends, and he didn't have time to spare. But now that he is in a foreign land, he feels cold for a while.

Finally, at noon on the seventh day of the first lunar month, while the wind and snow had stopped, Song Jiang simply came to Xunyang Building alone to ask for wine and buy drunk, thinking of getting drunk to relieve his sorrows.

But in the past, a few glasses of wine that could make people forget their worries didn't work today, but after being a little drunk, he thought of his own situation: "I think I Song Jiangkong has ambitions and talents, but except for the false name of Hu Baoyi and Shiyu, he has nothing......

"Now I am thirty-six, not to mention serving the country and making contributions, but I have even lost my original official position, and I have to leave my hometown and be assigned to this Jiangzhou city to work hard, which is really a failure. When my sentence is over, I am afraid that I will be nearly fifty years old, and there will be no merit to speak of......"

The more he thought about it, the more Song Jiang felt a rush of anger in his heart, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that there were many poems inscribed by the previous drinkers on the wall of the private room, so he also had similar thoughts, and turned his head and shouted outside: "Man, I'm waiting for a certain pen and ink." ”

The guys in Xunyang Building have long been familiar with Song Jiang, an old customer, and also know that some drinkers like to dance and ink when they are drunk, and there are no guests in the building today, so they hurriedly agreed, and soon brought up the pen and ink inkstone and sent it to Song Jiang respectfully.

Song Jiang didn't say much at this time, his eyes were slightly slanted, he immediately took the pen, dipped it in ink, turned around and wrote on the large white wall vacated behind him. Although his calligraphy is not everyone, but the skills of the sword and pen are deep enough, and every word is powerful, such as a spear and halberd pierced on this wall, and a small order that is not too neat has been completed overnight.

After taking a glass of wine and taking a sip of it, he turned his head to look at the poem from afar, he laughed again, and as soon as the wine was up, he picked up the pen again, followed by the word and a seven-character quatrain was also inscribed, and finally left his own name - Shandong Yuncheng Song Jiang inscription.

It wasn't until the last inscription was written by him that Song Jiang felt that the block in his chest had dissipated with the two poems, so he threw the pen in his hand on the table, hugged his fist at the guy who had already seen straight, and took out a string of big money and threw it into his arms, then he strode away with a smile.

"Mr. Song, you're drunk, do you need a small car to take you back?" It wasn't until he saw that he was leaving, and the guy who was shocked by his wild inscription behavior came back to his senses, and hurriedly chased after him and asked.

Song Jiang waved his hand: "No need, now that the weather is just sobering up, I can go back." As he spoke, he had already staggered away from Xunyang Tower. Although he had a drunken intention, he still recognized the way back, and soon re-entered his cell in the prison camp, collapsed on the bed, and fell asleep.

When he woke up the next day, Song Jiang only remembered that he had drunk upstairs in Xunyang, but as for the inscription later, he had already forgotten about it......

¥¥¥¥¥

Sun Tu, who was busy socializing, didn't know what Song Jiang had done these days, and it wasn't until the evening of the thirteenth day of the first lunar month that he sent away a group of guests who didn't know the specific relationship, and he breathed a sigh of relief: "I finally received all the guests I didn't know, and then no one came to the door, right?" ”

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Ya'er sitting under the porch with some grievances, pouting and peeking at himself, which made Sun Tu feel guilty in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward and smiled: "Who made my Ya'er angry?" You tell the third brother, and I'll go to him to vent your anger for you. ”

Ya'er didn't answer immediately this time, but tilted her head, and said softly after a while: "I know who upset me...... Obviously, I promised people to accompany me to go shopping outside the city during the Chinese New Year, but as a result, hum ......"

The little girl is really unhappy, the third brother always went out early and returned late before, and he couldn't say a few words to himself every day. Thinking that it was finally the New Year, the two of them could finally have a good time, but he turned out to be even busier, either going out or meeting guests at home, but leaving himself at home with nothing to do.

Although there is no shortage of anything at home now, and life is much better than before, Ya'er does not feel happy, but misses the dull days when she opened a hotel in Yuncheng County.

Seeing this, Sun Tu hurriedly smiled, rubbed the little girl's hair with his hand and said, "Okay, the third brother knows that he was wrong, I shouldn't have snubbed Ya'er." Hey, it's called being involuntarily, in fact, I would also like to stay at home or go out with you. But don't worry, there won't be any more guests coming to your door after today, and I'll take you out for a walk tomorrow. And soon it's the Lantern Festival, and we can go to see the lanterns in the city together. ”

"Really?" Ya'er was a little happier at this time, her face turned back, and she asked with big eyes.

"Of course, when did I lie to Ya'er?" Sun Tu nodded in response.

Just as Ya'er smiled again, and Sun Tu was about to go to the guest hall for dinner, the doorman hired by the family rushed over to report: "Master, Huang Yuan asked to see him outside, saying that he had something important to report......
