Chapter Fifty-Seven: A Low-key Honor

That Qiu Niang tried to chant a few times, and cooperated with the dance without a teacher, and shook her water sleeves a few times, which was as poignant and moving as promised.

For a while, everyone was immersed in the boundless sorrow that there were good days and beautiful scenery, but they could not get appreciation and pleasure, and could only make people doubly sad.

At the end of the song, Qiu Niang moved her lotus feet and "floated" over like a cloud, Ying Ying bowed down and said: "Little girl Qiu Niang, thank you Fang Gongzi for the song." A pair of big watery eyes were still shining, and intentionally or unintentionally, the tulle covering his chest fell off.

Fang Zhongyong only glanced at it, and then hurriedly withdrew his gaze.

Who said that in ancient times, they were all malnourished, this person is obviously very nutritious!

Don't look at indecency, don't look at indecency!

Qiu Niang's meaning, if Fang Zhongyong was not too boastful and amorous, he should have the idea of recommending himself as a pillow.

A magistrate said, you plagiarized a song "Dream in the Garden" to make the girl abandon a huge amount of money and cheapen you for nothing? In that case, we can save all the sisters who fell into the sea of suffering, and you can still get your turn?

You don't know. Why is Liu Yong, who is "ordered to fill in the words", favored by the sisters in the service industry? Is it because he is handsome, and he is handsome and can't be eaten. As for whether Yoo Young is handsome or not? This question is a matter of opinion. Personally, I think that one word, obscene, two words, extremely obscene (there are portraits to refer to).

However, although he is handsome and can't be eaten, poetry can be used to earn money. Especially the poems of famous writers, it is simply a prime-time advertisement. If a famous poet can give an exclusive song, this sister can be regarded as having her own brand. If you sing the track in the future, only she is genuine, and the others are all pirated posts. Cultivated and high-quality people naturally want to see the genuine, although it will cost a little money, but what you want is that style, you say yes?

It is no exaggeration to say that this song "Dream in the Garden" alone is enough for Qiu Niang to sing for five or seven or eight years, and it is not uncommon to even leave some pen and ink in anecdotes and miscellaneous notes. This is Tang Xianzu! This is "The Peony Pavilion"!

In comparison, 3,000 is not worth mentioning. Moreover, if Qiu Niang can spend a night with Fang Zhongyong, and then derive what "The Story Qiu Niang and Fang Zhongyong Have to Tell", the economic benefits will be even greater. Admirers naturally follow in the footsteps of their ancestors; The detractors also have to prove that Fang Zhongyong is just a pervert and is not in good health.

As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Fang, who was originally a little tense, died down, and Yan Juhou came to say: "Wenyuan, you are on!" ”

Fang Zhongyong couldn't help scolding in his heart: Which bastard has to pull someone to come, at this time, seeing that other people's little beauties favor me, I don't feel happy in my heart, right? This is jealousy, this is the jealousy of Hongguoguo, and it is even full of threats and even subsequent frame-ups. If I really "go", I will have eighteen kinds of torture waiting for me when I go home, right?

Besides, through the glimpse just now, although the little lady of Qiu Niang is nutritious, the scale is not large, at least it is not as good as my two delicate beauties, and there is still a huge room for growth in the future. I'll talk about it later, haha, I'll talk about it later.

Fang Zhongyong whispered to Yan Juhou: "Demao Hugh has to make fun of us, we still have something to do." As he spoke, his eyelids lifted upward.

Zeng Ye is the most old and sophisticated, and when he heard this, he said to Qiu Niang: "Although our brothers are not the willow Hui who is not in a hurry, they are not the reckless men who are anxious. The little lady has a heart, I will receive it. However, there are still important things to do, and he will come back to listen to the wonderful news of the lady in the future. Farewell! ”

This time, the four of them had a good heart, and once again brushed the folding fan together, and arched their hands and said: "In Xia Menglang, I disturbed everyone's Yaxing, please forgive me." ”

The people who ate melons were impressed by the demeanor of the four people, and saluted one by one: "The four are really Yashi! ”

successfully completed the task of fame (pretending to be 13), and several people left Shanhefang.

When he was about to look for that Shi Zongyong, a steward had already come and said: "My young master has been waiting in the restaurant in front for a long time, I thought it would take some time, and the special little one is waiting here." A few sons please! ”

When I arrived at the restaurant, I introduced the private room. Before the person in charge had retreated, Shi Zongyong made a fuss: "Could it be that Brother Demao has some hidden illness, and he will be finished with only half a cup of tea?" ”

Yan Juhou scolded with a smile: "You are a stone er, you don't know how to restrain yourself if you haven't seen you for two years." Just humiliating the surname Zhou like you just now, there won't be any disaster, right? You know, who dares to transport grain on this canal, who doesn't have a backstage, don't cause trouble for your family? ”

Shi Zongyong said with a smile: "Demao, just rest assured, I know the surname Zhou." It's just that the two daughters were sent to the Gao family, so they used the tiger skin of the Gao family to play a prestige on the canal. It's okay to fool a bunch of shallow guys, but you want to show your teeth in front of me and can't beat him? ”

and Fang Zhongyong and the others re-greeted, and their words were not as vulgar and rude as Fang Cai.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. During the banquet, Shi Zongyong was humorous and humorous, and he was very respectful, without arrogance and domineering.

Seeing that Fang Zhongyong had some doubts about his former and backward respects, Shi Zongyong said: "Wen Yuan's poetry talent is quite good, but he has lived in the countryside for a long time, and everything he hears and sees is an open-minded and innocent person, and he is afraid that he doesn't know much about the sinister nature of officialdom, right?" ”

Fang Zhongyong couldn't help but pout secretly, looking at you, a high-level speaker, what kind of "open-minded and innocent person", you might as well just say that I am a country kid and don't know how to save trouble.

Shi Zongyong said again: "Wen Yuan should know my details, right?" ”

Fang Zhongyong hurriedly bowed his hand to show his respect: "The great name of the mighty county king, how can you not know it?" In those years, the mighty county king had the merit of following the dragon and posthumously awarded the title of the county king, and he was actually the first-class person in our dynasty. ”

Shi Zongyong waved his hand and said, "Which one wants you to brag about." You only say that the ancestors are from the dragon's work, so why don't you say that my ancestors deducted the wages of the workers who built the Buddhist temple in Luoyang, Xijing, and the Liao people were defeated by the Liao people in the four years of Taiping Xingguo, and they were dedicated to gathering in the Tianping Army Festival for 17 years? ”

Fang Zhongyong was dumbfounded, this is all what you said, is it really good to pick up your ancestor's black materials like this?

I don't know if Shi Zongyong drank too much, so he continued to make nonsense without care: "Taizu is merciful, although he has a glass of wine to release his military power, he has high-ranking officials to support him, and after his death, there are many people who have been posthumously named the king of the county." However, is it really a good thing for a courtier to become the king of the county? If at this time, if we wait for the nobles to make any efforts to make the country and hang the lonely and ask for cold, it is tantamount to looking for death. Therefore, the ancestors collected wealth everywhere, and the one of the Gao family did not like money, so he fought with people all day long, chatting with himself. ”

Yan Juhou persuaded: "Zong Yong is drunk, don't say these useless words anymore." If it reaches the ears of those who have a heart, it will be true and wrong for the rest of his life. Besides, your Shi family controls this canal and waterway, and it's probably not an exaggeration to say that it is a daily progress, right? Talking about yourself so miserably, could it be that you want to pay for this drink? ”

Shi Zongyong was like a classmate in Sichuan opera, and the sadness on his face was instantly swept away: "Demao said that he laughed, even if my brother and I are so poor that we want to eat, we can't miss everyone's wine and meat." Come, drink to win! ”

Watching the drunken Shi Zongyong staggered away with the support of the steward, several people were relatively speechless. This benevolent brother has excellent wine, and he will never steal and play tricks. But the amount of alcohol was too bad, and after only three or four drinks, he was drunk and unconscious.

Asked about Yan Juhou, who was most familiar with Shi Zongyong, Yan Juhou said indifferently: "Don't be deceived by this guy. I'm afraid this guy's amount of alcohol is only comparable to Wen Yuan, where is it so easy to get drunk. It's just that the interest is exhausted and I leave early.

To say that this Shi Zongyong is actually quite good, although he has scheming, he has no bad intentions. Today's events are actually tantamount to using his name. Do you understand what he meant? ”

Zeng Gong said: "Could it be that he wants to be like his ancestors and make contributions? ”

Zeng Ye smiled: "Zigu is honest!" At present, there is no war with the Liao State, the Western Xia also has a large army to deal with, Dali and Tubo have people from the Cao family to deal with, where there is a place where he has made contributions, most of them are disease-free**. ”

What Zeng Ye said was actually the general view of the current Song people, who were blindly optimistic about the current situation, and did not have a comprehensive and practical evaluation of the combat strength of the Song Dynasty army. I thought that except for Liao, the surrounding areas were all small, and as soon as the heavenly army arrived, it became powder.

It was not until October 11 of the first year of Song Baoyuan (1038) that Li Yuanhao was officially proclaimed emperor and founded the country as Daxia, and the relationship between the two sides officially broke down.

In the following years, Yuan Hao successively launched four major battles, including the Battle of Sanchuankou, the Battle of Haoshuichuan, the Battle of Linfufeng, and the Battle of Dingchuanzhai, annihilating tens of thousands of elite people in the northwest of the Song army. And in the seventh year of Yanzuo (1044), he defeated Liao Xingzong with 100,000 elite royal drivers in the Battle of Hequ. At this time, the total strength of the Western Xia was about 500,000 people, posing a huge threat to the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty woke up from the dream of "the kingdom of heaven" and really began to examine its own problems.

Yan Juhou did not agree with Zeng Ye's evaluation, of course, it was not that Yan Juhou could predict the future, but he knew the reason better.

Yan Juhou was very gossipy: "You don't know anything. Although Shi Zongyong is a descendant, he is not the eldest son, and most of this title will not fall on him. The Shi family wanted to marry the eldest princess of the country, and at least he would give Shi Zongyong the official title of captain of the horse. It's just that the eldest princess of the country has been the Tao since she was a child, and the official family has given her the name 'Master of Qingxu Lingzhao', and she is the most cold. Shi Zongyong originally disagreed with Princess Shang, and felt that the eldest princess of the country had always been unpretentious to men, so she must have refused. Who would have thought that the princess Hongluan Xingdong would actually agree.

As soon as this guy heard this, he was in a hurry, and he found an excuse to float outside all day long, urging him many times at home, but he only listened to the wind. The official family was angry at his rudeness and ordered him to return to Beijing at the end of the year to complete the marriage, otherwise he would be punished for the crime of defrauding the king. That's why he has so many complaints.

As for the meritorious service, his Shi family's ability to ensure the smooth waterway of this canal, and the transportation of grain and salt to and from Tokyo is the greatest credit. ”

Fang Zhongyong remembered some of the information he had read in his previous life, didn't it say that the canal was dispatched and managed by the government, why did he run out of the Shi family and privately control the lifeblood of the capital, this Song Emperor's heart was too big, right?

"Where does the public and private come from, this noble family seems to be useless, but in fact, it is the most one-minded with the country. To put it mildly, ordinary people have the possibility of surrendering to the enemy country, but the royal family and nobles will never defect to the enemy and commit treason. is already a very popular minister, and he surrendered to others, can he still give him an emperor? Zeng Gong could see it clearly.

Fang Zhongyong asked, "Then Shi Zongyong wants to go with us?" ”

Yan Juhou replied, "Don't go together." It was okay for us to play together in private, and the court was only ignorant of us young people. If you plan something with great fanfare, I am afraid that you will be suspected of forming a party for personal gain. Therefore, the Chinese officials of the dynasty actually have a good personal relationship with the noble family, but there are almost no marriages, and there is no one who advances and retreats together. ”
