Chapter 572: Uninvited Guest
Just after sending Yan Zhangzong away, Song Zheng ushered in another uninvited guest.
"Brother Cong? How are you? Seeing Cong Ge, Song Zheng was very surprised (read the full text of the old dream of the house door with the encounter). In last year's palace examination, Cong Ge won the Jinshi, and finally awarded the county governor of Surabaya. Surabaya belongs to Yanzhou. Under the roads of Daqi, the county and the state are carried out simultaneously. Some small states with no counties below. In larger states, several counties are divided into counties, and counties are under their jurisdiction. Surabaya and Fengfu (Tai'an), Gongxian (Ningyang), Laiwu and other belong to Yanzhou.
"Xiaolang, congratulations! Congratulate! Cong Ge gave up. Although he had a smile on his face, there was a dark cloud between his eyebrows.
"Thank you Brother Cong for your kindness, come, take a seat." Song Zheng said hello, and someone made tea.
"Brother Cong, I remember that at the beginning of this year, you were going to take up your post in Surabaya, what? It's mid-February now, haven't you left yet? ”
"I've already been to Surabaya, it's not far from Licheng, and you can get there in a whole day. No, there was something going on in Licheng, so I rushed back. ”
Song Zheng thought that the other party came because of his own family affairs, however, after thinking about it, it was not right, Cong Ge's new official took office, just straightening out the relationship, and when he started to work, he shouldn't run back for himself (if he sees it, he will receive txt download). Besides, I didn't inform him.
Song Zheng looked at Cong Ge's face, and seemed to be even more sad. Song Zheng is not easy to say, just talking about some gossip.
Seeing that Cong Ge was getting more and more anxious, Song Zheng had no choice but to leave the left and right, "Brother Cong, is there something wrong with you?" ”
Cong Ge hesitated for a moment and asked, "Xiao Lang, do you remember your sister Yushuang?" ”
Song Zheng nodded, "Ling Meixiu is outside Huizhong, and I met her twice at the edge of Wulong Pond, so I naturally remember it." ”
Cong Ge suddenly stood up and saluted to the ground, "Xiaolang, please save my sister!" ”
Song Zheng was startled, and hurriedly helped Cong Ge up, "Brother Cong, you and my brother, please tell me about it, why bother with this big gift, Song really can't afford it!" ”
After placing Cong Ge on the chair again, he explained the reason. It turned out that his father Cong Kui wanted to marry Cong Yushuang to Xiao Ting of the Guogong Mansion.
Song Zheng was stunned, what's going on with this Cong Kui, isn't this just in time to sell his daughter? Two years ago, he hooked up with Huang Song and wanted to sell Cong Yushuang, and he also ran for Huang Song, causing a lot of trouble for Wan Yan Yusheng to go north. Why do you want to marry him to the Guogong Mansion this time?
"Brother Cong, Grandpa Guo is highly respected, and Xiao Ting is his grandson, and it is also a beautiful thing for Ling Mei to marry him!"
Cong Ge said angrily, "Xiaolang, why do you say such cool things. What is Ting's reputation, don't you know? It's just a rotten firewood, nasty billet, how can my sister marry him? ”
Song Zheng thought for a while and asked, "Brother Cong, what's going on with this marriage?" Is it the government that came to ask for marriage? Or did Ling Zun have this intention a long time ago? ”
Cong Ge didn't hide it, and soon said it in detail. His father, Cong Kui, turned out to be an old subordinate of Guogong Xiaotong, who served in the Jiangning City Guard, and was later transferred to Shandong Roadside Pass. Because of this relationship, Cong Kui and Xiao Tong come and go frequently (the latest chapter of the White Hands Across the Otherworld).
Cong Kui himself was reluctant to come to Shandong Road, and now, after staying in Shandong Road for a few years, he began to seek to return to the capital Jiangning to take up a post. However, he couldn't count on it, so he could only rely on it.
After the Spring Festival this year, Cong Kui sent Cong Ge to Surabaya to take up his post, and then went south. I don't know how to discuss it with Guogong Xiaotong, and when I came back, I announced that I would marry Cong Yushuang to the Guogong Mansion. When Cong Yushuang was in Jiangning, she had heard of Xiao Ting's stubbornness, but everyone was still young at that time, so they were not particularly disgusted. However, her marriage is always something to care about, and she wrote to Cong Ge.
Cong Ge went to Jiangning for a scientific expedition last year, and when he got together with old friends, he listened to a lot of stories. knows that Xiao Ting is notorious, second only to the number one villain Huang Yue. However, Huang Yue has already begun to get down to business, and Xiao Ting has been promoted to No. 1 gentleman. Although this guy was brought into the city guards by Xiaotong and arranged to Yang Dong's side, his notoriety is still there, and there are still many fox friends who use his reputation to do evil.
When Cong Ge heard the relevant rumors, he naturally knew what his nature was, and now he heard that his sister was going to marry him, so he rushed back from Surabaya in a hurry. As soon as I entered the house last night, I went to my father to argue, but I was severely reprimanded by Cong Kui.
Cong Ge thought about it all night last night, and there was no good way. This morning, he heard the housekeeper talk about Song Zheng welcoming his relatives in Licheng, so he ran over and wanted Song Zheng to give him an idea.
Song Zheng smiled bitterly, "Brother Cong, you really make it difficult for me to do this." Do you think I can speak in your house? Even if he speaks, how can Ling Zun listen to what I say? ”
Cong Ge also knew that this matter made Song Zheng embarrassed, and his own son couldn't hand over the words, let alone Song Zheng? Besides, Song Zheng didn't have much friendship with the Cong family, and it was even more complicated when it came to the Guogong Mansion.
"Xiaolang, is there no way at all?"
Song Zheng shook his head, "There is really nothing that can be done about this kind of thing." Don't say it's me, even the saints today can't care about this kind of thing! ”
"What then?" Cong Ge rubbed his hands in a hurry, "I can't watch my sister jump into the fire pit (Wind Boy reads the full text)." ”
"Brother Cong doesn't have to be too anxious!" Song Zheng said, "Although that Xiaoting has done some ridiculous things, since he joined the army, he has been cleaned up by Yang Dong. I've seen him twice in the past year, and he's changed a lot, and if I polish it again, it won't be too bad. ”
"Really?" Cong Ge looked at Song Zheng with some suspicion.
Song Zheng said with a smile, "Brother Cong loves his sister very much, I naturally know it." I won't lie to you about that kind of thing. Of course, knowing people and faces but not knowing hearts, although I have dealt with Xiao Ting, I am not too familiar with them after all. If Brother Cong really wants to know, you can ask Yang Dong. Yang Dong, you should know? ”
Cong Ge nodded, still a little uneasy.
Song Zheng didn't have anything to do, he really couldn't interfere in this matter, and it was not easy to interfere. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to have anything to do with people like Cong Kui.
Cong Ge finally left, and his mood was not high. Song Zheng sighed secretly, such a good cabbage is going to be arched by the pig Tingting.
In the afternoon, Song Zheng didn't bring anyone, so he went out alone. Chang'er is a bride, and Song Zheng doesn't want her to work too hard. Se'er and Ming'er both accompanied her, and the three of them talked and laughed, but they were very happy.
Not long after traveling west from Lufu, Song Zheng arrived at the gate of the Qizhou Martial Arts Academy. Further on, there is the original Four Transformations Inn, which was the place where he fought back then. Nowadays, the Four Transformations Inn has long been renovated.
Perhaps because too many people died at the beginning, the Four Transformations Inn was rumored to have a ferocious atmosphere, so the business was average, and it became a resting place for some foot traders and peddlers, and it was difficult to restore the glory of the past.
Song Zheng shook his head, climbed the mountain along the path on the west side of the martial arts courtyard, and with his foot strength, in less than two teas, he arrived at the door of a Taoist temple!
There are not many pilgrims in Sanqingguan, it seems deserted, perhaps it was affected by the war of the year, and grass has grown in some places in the yard, which seems to be a little declining.
"Good fortune and longevity, but do you want incense?" A Taoist servant greeted him and made a mockery (the latest chapter of the madness exorcism of another world). The Taoist servant was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and his face was also new.
Song Zheng nodded, "I have heard the name of Sanqingguan for a long time, so I came to offer some sesame oil money." With that, Song Zheng took out two silver tickets from his arms and walked over.
The Taoist servant took it and was immediately shocked, "The donor's money, but it's all for the view?" ”
"What? Too little? Song Zheng said with a smile.
"No, no." The little Taoist waved his hand again and again, "Shanfushou, please come in quickly, I'll call the master." ”
Song Zheng nodded and smiled, didn't enter the incense, and went directly to the side hall. The side hall was cleaned up, it was the resting place when he came back from Dajin, and Song Zheng had a special feeling.
While admiring an ink painting on the wall, the door opened, and a black-faced leopard-eyed Taoist priest walked in and saluted, "Lingjizi, the abbot of the Poor Dao Sanqingguan, has seen the donor." ”
Song Zheng turned around with a smile, "Dao Chief, it's always been good!" ”
"Little Lang donor?" Lingjizi's eyes lit up.
The little Taoist servant who followed behind him was also stunned, "Master, do you recognize this benefactor?" ”
Lingjizi nodded, "This is the master's friend, why don't you go quickly, make tea!" ”
The little roadmaid hurriedly turned around and went out.
After sitting down again, Lingjizi shook the Buddha's dust, "Xiaolang, why are you here?" ”
Song Zheng briefly said the scene after parting, and Lingjizi was naturally full of emotion. Then he also gave a general account of the current situation of the Quanzhen Sect.
At present, Quanzhen Religion has been widely spread in Dajin, and has almost become the state religion, steadily overpowering Buddhism. But Guangningzi is very numerous, learned the lesson of Ran, never participates in political affairs, and has always stuck to the Shifang Temple, and did not go to Zhongdu (Supreme Saint).
Wanyan Yusheng has no interest in Quanzhen Religion, but because of his knowledge, he does not like Buddhism. In contrast, the Quanzhen Sect had the support of Wanyan and soon flourished. Wan Yan is the son of Wan Yan Yusheng's eldest brother, and he is dedicated to teaching, Wan Yan Yusheng is also very relieved of him, and rewards a lot of money every year.
On the side of Daqi, the Quanzhen Sect has been subjected to some opposition. In particular, since the establishment of the Rikkyo Yuan, under the auspices of Di Fei, the Quanzhen Church has also been affected. However, the Quanzhen Sect originally emphasized asceticism, and since Song Zheng saw Changchun Ziqiu's disposal, although there have been some changes, it is always much poorer than Buddhist monasteries. In general, the Quanzhen Sect did not develop much on the side of Daqi.
The two chatted for a while, and Lingjizi said, "Xiaolang got married, and Poor Dao didn't go to congratulate him in person, so he shouldn't have been." Today, I asked you to donate silver taels, and I really can't help it. ”
Song Zheng looked at his Dao robe, which was still patched, and couldn't help but shake his head, "Dao Chief, a little thing, it's not enough to worry about." Actually, I came this time to ask the Taoist. ”
"Oh, Xiao Lang just say it."
"I want to go to Songshan once, I don't know if it's long, I can talk about it in advance."
Lingjizi was stunned for a moment, "Xiaolang, are you going to visit the Taixu Guan Sect?" ”
Song Zheng nodded, "Back then, I made an appointment with Changchunzi, preparing to meet with the sons of Changzhen on the second day of the second month of the ninth year of the Zhengyuan Dynasty, but I was entangled in mundane affairs and could not attend the meeting, which is a deep regret." Therefore, I took the opportunity of going north to complete the marriage and went to Taixu to worship the president Mako. However, this time the time is also quite urgent, so please send someone to inform your master first. I should go to the meeting around February 20. ”
Lingjizi nodded and said, "This is not difficult, I will go for a run myself." In addition, the Changdao Temple of Changchun is also not far from Licheng. He will also be invited to attend the meeting. ”
Song Zheng nodded, "Then there will be Chief Laodao." ”
