Seeing Song Qing accompanying him, looking at Chao Gai's face, Wang Lun did not object.

A group of five people, through Tian Village, over the cloud mountain, through the wild forest. Along the way, I saw that the sky was fine, the clouds were white and smoky, the grass was green and the trees were onions, and the songbirds were flapping their wings. Without the wicked and ferocious beasts, it is also a good scenery.

The five of them believed in the reins, and in half a day, they had arrived in the territory of Yuncheng, Jeju. Seeing that the sun is in the middle of the day, the belly is hungry, and I don't know if I can hurry again. See the hotel not far from the front of the city gate. The path is flat and paved with bluestone; A wine flag swirled, and a half-curtain of reeds flew. Looking at the magnetic basin through the window, the white Ling Ling is full of storage village mash; The tile urn is viewed through the door, and the fragrance is overflowing. A good seat is like a wine place, and a real gentleman should be a dwelling.

The four of them went to this hotel to rest and prepare for tomorrow morning. The four of them opened the room, called the man, and gave the money to buy some food and drink, and let them be sent to the room to eat.

"Brothers, let's eat and drink here, and then find Brother Song Xian!" Chao Gai, as the host, made a decision directly.

Wang Lun saw that the sun was really poisonous, and he was happy to rest here. "Very good!"

When the five of them were about to eat, they heard the neighing of galloping horses coming from outside. Immediately afterwards, a clear and gentle voice sounded outside the house: "Shopkeeper, Xiao Ke has been away for a day, people are sleepy, please sell some wine and food to eat."

When Song Qing heard this voice, his face showed joy, and he said to Chao Gai and Wang Lun: "It's my brother, you sit down, I'll go and ask for a meeting!" After that, he got up and walked out.

Chao Gai was also pleasantly surprised, and said with a smile: "I don't want it to be timely rain!" But I met here! Let's not lose our courtesy, and go to greet us!" Wang Lun wanted to see him early, so he got up at the same time as Guanghui and Ma Ling and followed Song Qing.

The shopkeeper outside saw Song Jiang, and he was also very enthusiastic. "Song Zhusi is hard, you are really brilliant when you come to the shop!"

"Oh...... You have a culture in this store, and you actually use idioms! ”

Wang Lun walked out of the room, and saw that on the wooden bench in the lobby, there was a person standing on his back, and two servants beside him.

When Song Qing saw his brother, he looked happy and shouted, "Brother, the little brother is here!" Hurrying in.

The man heard someone shouting, turned around to look, and saw that it was Song Qing, he was also happy, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be my brother!" Get up and take a step to greet it.

But I saw what the man looked like: his body was six feet high, and he stood in his thirties. The eyes fly thin Danfeng, and the eyebrows lie bright silkworms. The two ears are hung with jewels, and the eyes are inked with paint. The lips are red and the mouth is square, and the forehead is broad and the cheeks are full. The mustache hangs down three times, and the bun is square. Move like a wolf, sit on the mountain. Xuan Ang is a man with strong ambitions.

Speaking of this person, that's very remarkable. His surname is Song and his name is Jiang, his name is Gongming, he has three lines in his family, and he also practices guns and sticks, and he has learned martial arts. The father is extremely filial and praised by the township. Not only does he have a filial piety name, but it is also rare that he is righteous in nature, often sparse money and poverty, and people call him filial piety Hei Saburo, and his reputation is high in the rivers and lakes.

The old father, Song Taigong, had the heart to cultivate, let him read more scriptures and history books, and also talked about the virtuous deeds of Xiao Cao in the Han Dynasty. It is skilled in knives and pens, and he knows a lot about officials. When the county magistrate heard about it, he recruited him and became the first chief of the Yali in Yunseong County, Jeju Prefecture, and everything was handed over to him to deal with, and he was satisfied.

Although he is in the public gate, he loves to meet the heroes on the rivers and lakes. But if someone comes to defect, if it is a good man, no matter how high or low, he will accept it carefully. Stay in the village, ask for warmth, there is no shortage of food and clothing, and there is no tiredness; If you want to get up and go back, try your best to sponsor it, which is quite comfortable. Even if someone is in trouble and asks him for some money, he doesn't shirk it, and the silver money is like rain, and he is bold, and he regards gold as soil. Every row of difficult disputes is solved, helping the poor and the needy, just taking care of people's lives. It is famous for Shandong and Hebei, and they all call him "timely rain".

There are words to praise him: self-humility is called Baoyi, and a good man respects and respects him. Although he is a sword and pen official in the flower village, he dares to make the wind and clouds move. The great names are heard all over the world, and gold and silver are regarded as dung. Shandong Haojie timely rain, righteous spirit to moisten all things.

There is also a poem: Gongming and righteousness Shi Ganlin, helping the poor and having a good mind. The knife and pen dare to Qi Xiao Xiangguo, and his reputation does not let Meng Weijun.

Compared with the beautification of Song Jiang in the Water Margin book, later generations have mixed evaluations of Song Jiang!

Jin Sheng sighed that Song Jiang was an inferior person, and he was very depreciated. Song Jiang himself said: black appearance, short body, born as a small official, Wen can't be Anbang, martial arts can't serve the public, no hands have the power to bind chickens, and no body has the ability to shoot arrows (in the sixty-eighth chapter of "Water Margin"). This shows that Song Jiang is still self-aware.

When Water Margin appeared in Song Jiang, he introduced that he and his father Song Taigong were farming in the village, guarding some farms to live, and working as a priest in Yuncheng County. It can be said that Song Jiang is a person at the bottom of society with a little bit of power. His background experience and personality have made him develop a kind of cautious, improvised, and like to play with power.

Song Jiang has neither outstanding martial arts nor surprising appearance, but he can be called "timely rain", and becoming the general leader of Liangshan's heroes must have his superiority.

First, he is ruthless, revenge must be avenged, and he is resourceful.

In the White Dragon Temple outside Jiangzhou City, Liangshan Bo Haohan robbed the Dharma field and saved Song Jiang, more than 20 heroes, a total of only one hundred and forty or fifty people, came to Mu Hong's father Mu Taigong Zhuang to discuss the next step. Chao Gai thought that it was not suitable to steal the camp and rob the village at this time, but Song Jiang tried his best to override the public opinion at this time, and arranged for the bandits to rob the Wuwei army, killing Huang Wenbing's poor family of forty or fifty people, and let Li Kui cut Huang Wenbing with a knife, and won the respect of the bandits with his military talent and cruelty.

Looking at the experience of making Lu Junyi and Qin Ming up the mountain in the future, it all reflects his ruthlessness and resourcefulness.

Second, he is accustomed to using ghosts and gods to play with power.

At the beginning of the row of seats in the Juyi Hall, Song Jiang strategically insisted on only sitting in the second position, but then immediately told the leaders about the fabrication of rumors by the prefect of Cai Jiu in Jiangzhou, and mentioned the nursery rhyme of "Spending the country because of the wood, swords and soldiers point to water".

At this time, Song Jiang mentioned the previous words (, obviously in order to take advantage of the awe of ghosts and gods of all heroes, and establish his authority of "being ordered by heaven". After that, he went home alone to visit his father, claiming to have been passed on by the Nine Heavens Xuannu Niangniang to receive three volumes of heavenly books, and further established a leading position in the hearts of all heroes.

Third, there is the virtue of fighting righteousness and squandering wealth and helping the needy.

Look at the author to write Song Jiang's appearance: "Because of his black face and short body, people call him to be black Song Jiang; He is also well-known for his filial piety, and he is righteous and wealthy, and everyone calls him filial piety and righteousness. This Song Jiang is free to be a priest in Yuncheng County, he is proficient in knives and pens, and he is proficient in Taoism; He also loves to learn guns and sticks, and learns a lot of martial arts. In his life, he had to get acquainted with the heroes on the rivers and lakes; But if anyone comes to him, if he is high or low, he will not accept anything, and he will stay in the valley of John's Pavilion, and he will be with him all day long, and he will not be tired; If you want to get up, do your best to fund. It's like spending money! When asked for money, he did not shirk it; And it's easy to do, and it's difficult to solve disputes every time, but it's just a matter of people's lives. Coffins are often sprinkled with bait to help the poor. Therefore, Shandong and Hebei are famous, and they all call him timely rain, but they compare him to the timely rain in the sky, which can save all things. ”

Fourth, traditional feudal Confucian morality is deeply rooted in the heart.

As mentioned above, Song Jiang has the temperament of a "chivalrous", sticking a knife in the ribs for his friends, not close to women, he is depressed and dissatisfied with his position as a subordinate subordinate, and even took the opportunity to vent happily when he was drunk, as evidenced by the ink dripping on the upper floor of Xunyang.

However, he knew that Lin Chong, Yang Zhi and others had a common enmity with Gao Yu, and he still had to flatter Gao Yu in order to seek peace. Why is there such a contradictory approach? This is the other side of him, which is deeply influenced by Confucian morality.
