Zhao Dezhao knew that Wang Pu should have heard some rumors and was a little dissatisfied with himself, but in front of others, he was embarrassed to say it directly.

It's just that now Zhao Dezhao is not sure if he is because of Pei Ge'an or because of the affairs of the Qin State Mansion.

In the lobby, a gray-haired old man sat on the top, and when he saw Zhao Dezhao coming in, he laughed. "Little second brother, what's wrong with your eyes?"

This old man is Wang Pu's father, Wang Zuo, but in terms of seniority, he is Zhao Dezhao's grandfather.

Zhao Dezhao didn't dare to slack off, hugged his fists and bowed down and said: "Yesterday, I gathered a crowd to frolic and took a few punches, but I didn't lose ......."

Wang Zuo was the third envoy in the Later Han Dynasty, and he was the assassin of any state in the Later Zhou Dynasty.

He can be literate and martial, but because of his arrogant temper, he doesn't get along well with interpersonal relationships, and he has never entered the center.

After Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, he was almost seventy years old, and with Wang Pu's worship of the prime minister, he only hung a false title of Suzhou defense envoy to let him spend his old age in peace.

However, this old man is still an official fan, he does not accept the old, and he refuses to honestly retire at home.

Whenever the minister goes to Wang Pu's house, he must first visit Wang Zuo.

Wang Zuo likes to be lively, every time he shouts and shouts to set up a banquet and toast them, but Wang Pu, as a son, can only serve beside them in court clothes, and the guests are restless.

Just kidding, as the prime minister standing next to him, which guest dares to sit there and enjoy?

As a result, he, the main master, could only retreat and avoid, and the guests accompanied an old man who was not convinced of the old man.

Wang Zuo also said to the guests: "He is just my son, there is no need to bother you to get up and send him off." ”

Every time it was like this, the guests did not dare to enter Wang Pu's door.

Wang Pu advised the old Wang Zuo to ask for resignation, Wang Zuo thought that the court would not allow it, but as soon as he handed over the recital requesting resignation, it was approved by Zhao Kuangyin.

Because even Zhao Kuangyin heard about Wang Zuo's nonsense, letting the second- and third-grade officials sit there and drink, and the first-grade prime minister waits next to him.

This kind of atmosphere can't be promoted, and the court law is more important after all.

Zhao Kuangyin didn't even keep him, and directly approved his resignation, and Wang Zuo was dumbfounded. scolded Wang Pu and said: "My muscles are not yet aging, you want to occupy your own phase steadily, but you confine me at home." ”

Although Wang Zuo is a fan of officials and a little unconvinced, he is not a person who does not learn and is unskilled.

Wang Pu can become a generation of historians, and his contribution in it is not small.

Su Mian's "Hui Yao" and Cui Xian's "Continuation of the Hui Yao" include many pre-Tang classics, but they were all collected by this old man.

Wang Zuo sat there loudly, Zhao Dezhao clasped his fists and saluted, and then Wang Pu also saluted, and the four grandsons saluted again.

Then he smiled. "There are no outsiders, why bother with it, just sit down."

Zhao Dezhao couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart, what he said soundly sounded, if he really didn't pay tribute, why didn't he say it before bowing.

But he also saw that this seventy-five-year-old man, at the age of doing whatever he wanted, was still obsessed with the era when he was once in power.

It's just that now there are no outsiders to pay attention to him, and he can only be the boss in front of his family.

Wang Pu married two wives and gave birth to six sons and four daughters, but only four sons and one daughter survived.

Xu gave Zhao Dezhao's daughter is the only third sister who survived, and she is also fourteen this year, less than a month older than Zhao Dezhao.

Zhao Dezhao insisted on refusing to sit with Wang Zuo, so he invited Wang Pu to take a seat and accompanied him on his left hand.

Opposite him, the four brothers-in-law sat down one by one, looking at him with fierce eyes.

After everyone sat down, Wang Zuo asked with a disrespectful smile: "I heard that you got together in the East Palace yesterday, and then went to the Qin State Mansion to see the beauty, but is it worth the trip?" ”

Zhao Dezhao pondered his words and said: "It's really worth the trip, if we don't go, I'm afraid that the Duke of Qin won't live today." ”

Except for Wang Pu, who should know some inside information, everyone else looked at Zhao Dezhao in surprise, especially Wang Zuo, who couldn't help but straighten up from the Han couch and asked, "What's the inside story?" ”

Zhao Dezhao said: "That Qin Guogong was already unaccustomed to the water and soil, and lived in the newly built Qin Guogong Mansion, and he was infected with lacquer poison, so he didn't see it well yesterday." Later, Qin Guogong was moved to the courtyard, and bloodlet was poured into mung bean soup to detoxify, which was considered to save his life. ”

When Zhao Dezhao finished talking about yesterday's experience vividly, the second brother-in-law Wang Yizheng couldn't help but ask: "Rixin, that Mrs. Hua Rui is really ......"

Wang Pu shouted: "Second brother! ”

Wang Yizheng, who was frightened, trembled, and didn't dare to raise his head.

Wang Zuo said with a smile: "Old and old-fashioned, knowing lust and admiring Shaoai is the nature of people, but you have to curb the nature of people." Second brother, don't be afraid of your father, he dares to take care of you, I'll beat him! ”

Wang Pu's face twitched, Zhao Dezhao almost couldn't hold back his laughter, and hurriedly reconciled his father-in-law. "My lord, it is natural for the father to teach the son, we might as well go drink and have fun......"

He sighed and said: "This unfilial son, he doesn't even let me drink more wine, I only have a pot of wine a day, alas......"

In this family, there is an unreliable old man, and the relationship between this family is chaotic.

Zhao Dezhao provoked another right and wrong, and he didn't dare to answer, so he could only smile and smile at his brother-in-law Wang Yisun: "Brother Xiangxian, this heavy rain in Kaifeng, can the Ministry of Gold allocate money?" ”

Wang Yisun has already taken office, and now he is a member of the Ministry of Household Finance, the Ministry of Finance is the department in charge of money, he is the deputy of the Ministry of Finance, and he is a serious official.

Wang Yisun had long been accustomed to the struggle between this unreliable grandfather and father, and he didn't care at all. "30,000 yuan has been allocated to save lives by giving porridge around Kaifeng."

30,000 is a lot for one person, but it is too small for the people affected by the disaster.

The two fathers and sons on the top fought for a while, but Wang Pu still couldn't deal with the old father, so he could only admit defeat.

He turned to Zhao Dezhao and asked, "Second brother, it is reported that you took the woman who was injured by the Falling Sun into the East Palace, but is there such a thing?" ”

Zhao Dezhao came today to make this matter clear to him, although this old man has come down from the position of prime minister, he is still a first-class member, and now he is still the prince Shaobao, and he is the teacher of the serious Zhao Dezhao.

As one of the few natural allies in the DPRK and China, Zhao Dezhao attaches great importance to his presence.

He will not hide the affairs of Pei Ge'an, only the truth and the truth will make outsiders unable to figure out the details.

Zhao Dezhao nodded and said, "This is indeed the case, I took her to the East Palace, and I will serve me personally in the future." ”

Wang Pu said: "The third sister will enter the door in a few months, don't make mistakes." ”

Zhao Dezhao couldn't help but laugh and said, "My lord, she's only nine years old......"

Wang Pu was stunned, and the seriousness on his face couldn't hold back anymore. Zhao Dezhao explained: "I injured her that day, and I originally only wanted to make a little compensation, but knowing that her family is a blacksmith, I wanted to make something, so I stayed in the East Palace and transferred my household registration to my name." ”

"Just to make something?"

Zhao Dezhao nodded. "A nineteen-year-old village girl, who has not grown up, how can she fascinate me? Don't worry, adults. ”

Wang Pu also felt ashamed and felt that he wanted to be crooked. can only say: "As a prince, you should focus on studying and practicing martial arts." ”

This is preaching, Zhao Dezhao got up, and then sat back cross-legged on the Han couch. "As a prince, you should not learn from the Six Classics, but only learn from history."

Confucianism in the early Song Dynasty actually existed in name only, and the warlords were in power for 200 years, who really paid attention to Confucianism?

Now whoever has more is the boss, and Confucian students are also dependent on warlords and struggling to survive.

Like Wang Pu, although he was born in a family and has a good reputation, he only studies history and does not study scriptures.

As a prince, Zhao Dezhao studied history and knew right from wrong, and it was enough to learn from history.

As for studying the scriptures like a Confucian student, that's not his job.

Wang Pu nodded and asked, "Can you finish learning the Five Classics?" ”

Zhao Dezhao nodded. "It's because I've finished studying that I want to learn history from adults."

In any case, if you want to study history, you must also have a foundation.

Just like in later life, you must at least have a beginning of Chinese, and with basic knowledge, you can learn more profound knowledge.

Wang Pu asked again: "Can you talk to the official?" ”

"I already told my father a few days ago."

He nodded and said: "Tomorrow I will share with the official family, if there is no accident, in the future, I will get up every morning to go to the East Palace to teach you, half a day a day, don't be slack." ”

This time, Zhao Dezhao got up again.

After getting down to business, the next topic is mainly small talk.

As the future son-in-law of the Wang family, the family is still very close to him, especially Wang Zuo, relying on his age, today Zhao Dezhao is here, and his son Wang Pu must give face, and he will drink the day's wine at noon.

However, this is the rice wine of the early Song Dynasty, the wine is not strong, a pot of rice wine is less than three catties, but it is not too much.

Like Zhao Dezhao, he drinks two or three pots at a time on weekdays, and he is only slightly drunk.

The luncheon was placed in the back hall, but unfortunately, not only is the wine banquet now a separate meal system, but the men and women are in different rooms, and they don't see the beautiful little face of the fiancée.

The last time I saw her was when she was twelve.

When I left the palace in the afternoon, I felt like a steamer between heaven and earth.

After the rain, it is a hot day, and this humid heat is unbearable for most people.

"Second brother, are you still going to Chen's house?"

Zhao Dezhao looked at the sky and said, "If you don't go today, you'll go tomorrow." Tomorrow the ground should be dry, and after I visit Chen's house, I will go to the farm. ”

Another old man, Chen Sirang, is 63 years old this year, and now he is the envoy of the National Protector Army and the Yin of Hezhong.

He is not in the capital, only the eldest son Chen Qinzuo is in the capital, and now he is the envoy of the incense medicine storehouse.

His son Chen Ruozhuo is already married, he has become a grandfather, and the sixth sister, who is engaged to Zhao Dezhao, is only fifteen years old this year.

The Chen family was a family of Jiangmen in the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty was gone in the year Chen Sirang was born, and their Chen family has always been a local warlord.

But Chen Sirang believed in Buddhism, all his family wealth was relieved of the monks, and he had a cold relationship with his family, and he had a bad relationship with his eldest son, and he didn't care much about this daughter who was almost fifty years old

Zhao Dezhao is a little awkward every time he comes to the door, even if he goes to Chen's house, at most he sends a salute, sends a few small gifts to the sixth sister, and rarely keeps food.

Knowing that this old man would not live for a few years, coupled with the awkward family relationship, Zhao Dezhao had little hope for the Chen family, and just hoped that he would not be held back.
