Chapter 398: Step by step
"Xiaolang, where did you get another five hundred taels of silver?" Ming'er took the one thousand taels of silver tickets handed over by Song Zheng and asked curiously.
It was already noon, and not long after Song Zheng returned home, someone came to visit. The person who came introduced himself as a family member of the Dong Mansion, and was ordered by Dong Mingyan to return the 500 taels of silver he had borrowed earlier. Song Zheng rewarded him with a tael of silver and sent him away, and then happily beckoned Ming'er into his room and personally beckoned him the silver ticket.
Song Zheng smiled, "I went out to fight, and I earned five hundred taels, how about it?" Your husband is amazing, right? ”
"It's not in shape!" Ming'er's face turned red, and she glared at Song Zheng with disgust, "Quickly recruit from the truth!" ”
Song Zheng smiled and told him about the fight with Han Kui. continued, "Then Dong Mingyan is interesting, I looked at him twice, and he obediently sent me the silver. ”
Ming'er also smiled, "I'm afraid that you will tell the truth about the battle." ”
"That's the good thing about villains. With your own heart, save the belly of others. But he didn't know, even for Han Kui's sake, I couldn't tell me about it. Song Zheng shook his head and sighed, "Han Kui will drag his straight fist, I think it was handed to him by the handsome Han Zhong." However, he didn't practice very well, and he shouldn't have figured out the trick in the last few styles. However, this kid is a character, and there should be something to borrow in the future. ”
"Xiaolang, you let Han Kui go like this, will Yang Dong be annoyed if he knows about it?"
"Han Kui is still very powerful, and Yang Dong is not sure that I can win, otherwise he wouldn't tell me to be careful. Han Kui and Dong Mingyan will definitely not say it, and I naturally will not say it. The relationship between this is complicated, and when I first arrived in Jiangning, I had to make as many friends as possible. Han Kui is different from Dong Mingyan, and Mu Boyo can all be fought for. The situation in Jiangning City is so complicated, maybe who will be used in the future, even if it is now a good fate. ”
"Then Huang Yue is the same, right?"
Song Zheng nodded, "Huang Yue's side, there is a meaning for me to follow them." However, this is not in a hurry, I will finish the work of Wubi first, and then slowly figure it out. ”
"Xiaolang, although you have just arrived in Jiangning, you have found so many clues, which can be regarded as a good skill!" Ming'er did not hesitate to praise.
"Far from it, everything we do now is to gain a foothold." Song Zheng said, "I now have a preliminary plan. The first is to take the Wujin exam, so you have a certain amount of capital and fame. I can't always follow my father's name. This is the first step. The second step is to use Xu Mingxuan, Dong Mingyan, Han Kui and others to communicate with these noble sons in the capital and make a name for themselves. The third step is to occupy a place in the Jiangning public opinion circle through Mr. Wei Buzhouwei. Although his father was a great Confucian, he didn't like to socialize with people and only did academics. Compared with Wei Buzhou, Jiang Ning Su Confucian, it is much worse. Mr. Wei also admires me very much, and as long as I deal with it properly, I should be able to get a relatively high reputation. Only by going so far can we stand firm. Only later can we talk about revenge. ”
Ming'er looked at Song Zheng quietly, very emotional. Song Zheng is like a chess master, making plans.
"How to develop next, in fact, I don't know the bottom of my heart. However, Huang Song is the direct murderer of my grandfather and Dr. Gao, and he must be eradicated first. The reason why I hooked up with Huang Yue was to provoke their brother's infighting first. It is best to kill Huang Song, and if he can't die, he will also hurt the vitality of the Huang family. Ming'er, I have always remembered the agreement made four years ago. ”
Ming'er nodded vigorously, "I know, I know." You've been trying. If it weren't for the sake of gaining the trust of the juniper, you wouldn't have to go to Dajinzhongdu, and you would have been delayed there for a year. As she spoke, Ming'er walked to Song Zheng's side, hugged Song Zheng's waist tightly, and pillowed her head on his shoulder, "Xiaolang, don't worry, no matter what you do, I will support you, I believe in you." ”
Song Zheng took a long breath, all these thoughts of his own, only Ming'er alone can say it. Others, even Lu Yan and Li Hongniang, can't say it. I played ambiguous with Huang Yue, so I was afraid that Ming'er would misunderstand. Now that Ming'er is so sensible, he is relieved.
He touched Ming'er's hair and said, "Huang Yuandu's side, Huang Yue is an opportunity." On the juniper's side, there is no clue yet. However, Brother Ying once revealed that if I am admitted to the martial arts examination, there will be a so-called 'great benefit' waiting for me. I don't know what it is, but I guess it has something to do with the cypress. I'm in Dajin Zhongdu, Xiao Hui must have the bottom in his heart. It's just that I don't know how he's going to use me. ”
Song Zheng sighed, "Our current strength is too weak, we must wander between all forces, strengthen ourselves at the same time, and seek revenge." It's a long-term process. Our current level is still too low. It can only be like a chess piece, being swung around. If you're not careful, you'll be crushed. Everything has to be done with great effort, step by step, and it is also frightening step by step! ”
"Xiaolang, you can do it, I know, you will do it!" Ming'er hugged her tighter, "We started from a small mountain village, and now we have come to the present, you see, what have we all won?" You are the first civil and military person in the Great Qi Kingdom, and there is also a potential Huitong trading house, and there is still a part of King Lu's secret treasure buried at home. We have all become the people of the Imperial City Division, you are still the head of the team, and you can be used by traitors to get rid of common sense. Now that you have just arrived in Jiangning, you have opened up the situation. The road is long, but we all see hope. ”
Song Zheng sighed, if he was a person, he would rather be a free thief, and he would not have to worry about it every day like now, thinking about how to develop and how to succeed as soon as possible. But he has concerns, parents, and confidants such as Ming'er, Li Hongniang, Chang'er, and Se'er. This made him can't help but integrate into the current society and assume his own role. The life of a thief in his previous life has not appeared in his dreams for a long time, and he only thinks about it occasionally when he is extremely tired. Now he only hopes that after finishing his heart, he will leave with these women of his own, return to the mountains and forests, wander the rivers and lakes, and be a living immortal at ease.
It's just that Song Zheng doesn't know when he will be able to wait for such a life. Since four years ago, when he was eleven years old, he made an agreement with Ming'er and Song Yu, and he devoted all his energy to the great cause of revenge. For the moment, study hard, practice martial arts diligently, fight with humanities, and rack your brains. The only one who can share all this with herself is Ming'er, and only the princess in her arms.
After sighing, Song Zheng suddenly said, "Ming'er, what's the news from the third uncle?" ”
"I heard Dong'er say that the third uncle came once. Not long after Mr. Song came to Jiangning, one night, a man came to visit Mr. Song, and Mr. Song called him the third child. Dong'er once went to serve tea and described to me the person's appearance, I guess it was the third uncle, but I don't know the other circumstances. ”
"I haven't been in touch with my third uncle for a long time. I wrote a letter to him before I went to Dajin, and I asked Hu Qiang to find someone to pass it on to him. Since he hadn't done it at that time, he had communicated several times before, and they were all the addresses of an inn he had left. For more than a year, the third uncle was admitted to the Jinshi, and it was impossible to live in the inn all the time. I just don't know what official position he holds now and where he lives. I had time to ask my father what he should know. Alas, this matter will wait for the big competition of martial arts. ”
"The third uncle is smart, he reads well, and he is also good at doing things. Should be able to surprise us. Ming'er muttered, "In addition, there is more definite news from the second aunt and grandmother." ”
"The second aunt is not as rigid as her father, and she also knows how to hurt people, so the relationship between her and the second uncle should be relatively good." Song Zheng said with a smile, "In my father's generation, there are four brothers and sisters, and three are in Jiangning, but I don't know where the fourth uncle has gone." Alas, the people of the Song Mansion, Xiaosi and Xiaoping, know that there are two people, the third uncle and the fourth uncle. And my aunt and grandmother at home, I haven't seen her for so long, I still miss her a little, she is so good to me. ”
"My aunt and grandmother eat fast and pray for Buddha, and her body is fine. The one named Yan Yu Niang Yahuan was promised by her aunt and grandmother to the Erhei who could do carpenter work in her hometown. These two people have great respect for their aunts and grandmothers, and they have supported them inside and out. Life is quite happy. If everything here is over, I want to go back to Songjiazhuang to live, I can't forget it after staying in that place for so many years. Fantasizing about life after revenge, Ming'er is full of anticipation.
"Speaking of our Song family, I really have one thing to ask you. After my grandfather retired from the army, he has been living in Songjiazhuang, why did he marry his second aunt to Jiangning? Was Fang Jingui's father the hammer guard back then? ”
"I've heard my father-in-law talk about this." Ming'er replied, "Although Grandpa Song has been away from the army for a long time, he is a person who misses the old. Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken my stepfather and me in. According to his father-in-law, Grandpa Song was a stick guard back then, and he was very good with Hammer Guard Fangda. The two once joked that if they had children, they would be in-laws. Two years after Grandpa Song left the army, Fang Da also lost one hand due to an injury, so he also quit the army. Fangda was originally from Jiangning, and his family background was also good. After returning to Jiangning, he inherited the family's shop and married. Later, after Fang Da had a son Fang Jingui, he sent people to Songjiazhuang. At that time, it happened that your second aunt Song Huan had just been born. The two sides decided on this family business. At that time, he also said that if the two parties had children, they would still be in-laws. Later, Fang Da gave birth to two more sons, and your Song family also had a third and fourth uncle. Naturally, I can't continue to be in-laws. ”
"So did Fonda have any connection with the Marshal's Mansion later?"
Ming'er shook her head and said, "My father-in-law didn't tell me, so it doesn't seem to have any connection." You know, my father-in-law was in that position in the palace at that time, and there were a lot of things, and this kind of trivial matter should not come to him. Grandpa Song didn't seem to tell him this. ”
Song Zheng was silent. Fang Jingui is just a small treasurer in Jiangning Mansion, and his official rank is too small to help him in the future. As for the stunned cousin Fang Dingping, he is even more of a white foodie. Thinking of this, Song Zheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, what's wrong with him? This is the closest relative to the Song Mansion, but he thinks about how to find benefits from others, which is simply not a son of man.
After a moment of warmth with Ming'er, Ming'er took the initiative to go out. The inspection two days later was a big hurdle, and Song Zheng naturally wanted to look at the military book and the like to prepare for the inspection.
From afternoon to evening, Song Zheng carefully flipped through the military books, such as "The Art of War", "Wu Zi", "Taibai Yin Jing" and other military books, and also found out the war cases on the "Zizhi Tongjian", and seriously experienced it.
The next day was almost noon, Song Zheng was endorsing, and Huzi suddenly returned to the Song Mansion and reported that the "wild camel" Li Yuanzhen appeared! ~
