After breakfast the next day, Chao Gai and Wang Lun just took the road. In an hour, I came to a village. Walking more than ten steps away, a forest is full of green cypress and green poplars. Through the woods, a light flashed. Chao Tianwang pointed to the light and said, "Right there, is the Song Family Courtyard. And all the hearts rejoiced, and they drank and looked at the horses, and went there.

At that time, it turned into the forest to see, it was a village, all around it was an earth and stone wall, but there were dozens of pine and green bamboos outside the wall, not far behind the courtyard was a piece of earth and stone hill, and the wave was faintly seen under the post, it was a clear stream. Look at the courtyard, but see:

The front is through the forest road, and the back is against the Xigang. The forest is green and the trees are thick, and the stream is shining. The surrounding green poles follow left and right like shadows; The green branches are floating like smoke. The cattle and sheep were heard in the field, and the geese and ducks were heard in the wheat field. Although the house is simple, the poor can live in the shade of wind and rain; The countryside is abundant, and the hungry people can live.

Although it is not more dangerous than Chao Gaizhuang, it is born in a pleasant scenery.

The four of them came to the front of the village, tied the horses to the pine wood in front of the door, and then redressed their clothes, and Chao Gai came forward to knock on the door. In a moment, a dealer opened the door and came out.

Without waiting for Chao Gai to give him a salute, the Zhuang guest knew him, and hurriedly sang a fat song and said: "It turned out to be Chao Baozheng!" The wind is strong, you don't rest at home, run here, I don't know what to do? ”

Chao Gai replied: "Brother, please go and report to my father-in-law, and say that Chao Gai has brought a friend to visit." ”

The Zhuang Ke said apologetically: "It's really unfortunate, Haojiao Baozheng knows that Song Zhisi is not at home at this time. ”

Wang Lun learned that the person was not at home, and he had regret on his face. Chao Gai hurriedly asked, "But I don't know where Gongming's virtuous brother went?" Which one is in the village? ”

Zhuang Ke replied: "Bao Zheng asked, don't dare to hide it." Not long ago, someone from the county government came, saying that the county magistrate had summoned the priest, and there was something important to order, so he had already gone with the people, and only the old lady and Shiro were at home. ”

Chao Gai heard it and said: "Since there are Taigong and Shiro at home, it is just right, there is no reason not to see it." Annoying big brother, go and report one or two. ”

Zhuang Ke smiled: "Bao Zheng is joking, you are familiar with your family, where do you have to report here?" The weather is cold, a few people don't eat wind outside, please come into the village. The farmer summoned a few people to the village, asked them to lead the backyard of the carriage and horses, and led a few people to the front hall.

The Zhuang guest treated people kindly, instructed the left and right to prepare hot tea, and then said to a few people: "Please rest in the hall of the king and the heroes, and use some hot soup to drive away the cold, and the villain will go to report and invite the master of the house to come and see them." After speaking, he bowed and went to the back to look for someone.

At this time, Wang Lun sat down and smiled at Chao Gai: "Sure enough, it is worthy of its reputation, this timely rain Song Zhisi's tutor style is really good, so it is admirable!" ”

Not to mention Song Jiang's black belly, this Zhuang Ke alone is trained to use.

Ma Ling had also heard of Song Jiang's name, but he hadn't seen it, and he also praised: "That's true!" Only the people on this village are so polite and thoughtful, I don't know what kind of demeanor the owner of the village is, and it is so exciting! ”

Guanghui also said: "Look at him here, even Zhuang Hakka Ding is so gentle and generous, and he knows how to be polite, which can be seen." King Chao has known them for a long time, and he knows best. ”

Chao Gai nodded and said: "Yes, although his family lives in the countryside and makes a living from farming, he has always been a heirloom of poetry and books, with high manners and a gentlemanly atmosphere!" ”

It is not difficult to see that Chao Gai has a great impression of Song Jiang. Wang Lun just had the intention to remind Chao Gai to be careful of Song Jiang, and there was no way to exit.

After a few words, the tea was less than half a lamp. A few people gossiped for a while, and then they heard a voice coming: "Song Qing is late, and he has caused my brother and a few heroes to wait for a long time, and the younger brother is really guilty!" "The voice is soft and warm, and it makes people feel good.

Following the prestige, by the light, I saw a man from behind, about twenty-three or fourteen years old, six feet tall, wearing a green gauze turban, lined with a close-fitting white cotton shirt, wearing a stone black single straight jacket, a variegated cloth around the waist, a thick blue satin, and multi-eared moccasins. The raw is delicate, and the ground is a good demeanor:

The dark clouds and hair were dyed with ink, and the purple jade face was flushed. The sword eyebrows are thick and the mountains are thick, and the starry eyes are deep and blue. The thick dan lips are shiny, and the jade pillars are wide and white. Wen Xiulang is humble and gentle, and her husband is respectful.

This one, surnamed Song Mingqing, has four lines in the family, is known for his etiquette and promises, his father is filial, and those who know each other call him filial piety. Mother died early, only the father was in the hall, the three brothers above, except for the eldest brother and the second brother died early, the third brother Song Jiang, the name Gongming, called timely rain, is so famous in the rivers and lakes. Because his brother worked as a public servant in the county, he and his father worked in the village on weekdays and kept some farms at home. His family lives a worry-free life, and they are all kind-hearted, sometimes doing good deeds, and helping the villagers.

This Song Qing is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, loves to learn guns and sticks, and learns a lot of martial arts. He is thoughtful, conscientious and responsible, where there is a business entrusted to him, do not worry, he will do the proper thing, people love him exquisitely, and there is a good reputation in the rivers and lakes, all call him "iron fan", but he is compared to a good fan to send cool in the hot summer, which is very satisfying.

Although he didn't have a good sense of Song Jiang, Wang Lun couldn't be unhappy when he saw Song Qing.

Song Qing came out from behind, came to him in three or two steps, bowed to Wang Lun and a few others, and said: "I really don't know how many heroes have arrived, the younger brother has not been able to greet each other, the etiquette has not been comprehensive, and I hope to forgive one or two!" ”

He was familiar with Chao Gai, so he apologized to Wang Lun and the others first.

But man is brought by Chao Gai, and he naturally wants to speak. Chao Gai grabbed Song Qing and said, "I really don't dare to be it, please get up!" It is already abrupt and offensive for us to come to the door early in the morning to disturb each other, and if my brother is like this, wouldn't he be ashamed of my foolish brother! ”

Song Qing wanted to pay full salutes and worship sincerely. Chao Gai exerted force in his hand, and he didn't let him bow down. Song Qing had no choice but to get up.

Seeing him get up, Chao Gai said, "When we come to the door, we should visit the elders first." Brother Xian, I don't know where the old man is? Quickly led us to the ceremony. This Chao Gai didn't care about Wang Lun, and made his own decision.

Song Qingdao: "My father is old and in poor spirits, and he is sleeping in the room. ”

Chao Gai said: "Since he has fallen asleep, it is inconvenient to go over and disturb his old man's rest, which is really rude." ”

Song Qing said with a smile: "If your family doesn't say this, you can just get it." Seeing that Wang Lun and the others were extraordinary, he asked Chao Gai again: "These people know at a glance that they are amazing characters, and I hope that my brother will introduce my younger brother to him, thinking that I have made acquaintances!" ”

At that moment, Chao Gai introduced Wang Lun and a few people to Song Qing to know, and when he heard the names of several people, Song Qing was very happy, and after meeting them, he asked for warmth. However, Song Qing was much less surprised than Chai Jin, Li Ying and others that Wang Lun had met before, maybe in his heart, only his brother was really a good man!

Looking at the appearance of Song Qing, you will know the characters of Song Jiang!

Wang Lun saw that he couldn't see Song Jiang, so he didn't stay longer, and said bluntly: "Since Song Zhisi is not here, I might as well go to Yuncheng County for a walk, I heard that there are southern Huashigang coming over these days." ”

Song Qing was strange that Wang Lun dared to enter the city as a criminal. But in front of Wang Lun and Chao Gai, he was silent.

Chao Gai listened to Wang Lun's suggestion and said, "Since this is the case, let's go to the county!" ”

Song Qing over there was also very enthusiastic, and took the initiative to say: "The little brother is fine, so he will be with a few brothers."
