Chapter 37: The Winged Tiger
His mother's leg injury will be recuperated for more than a month, and seeing that it is getting better, Wang Lun has nothing else to worry about. The www.biquge.info is not a few days away from the August state exam, and Wang Lun has been studying at home these days.
The little spirit official walked in from outside and reported to Wang Lun. "Young master, Chao Bao is here with a capital head."
As soon as he heard about Chao Gai's visit, Wang Lun simply put down the book in his hand and got up to greet him. When I came out of the study and came to the courtyard, I saw Chao Gai talking to Wang Xin, followed by two dukes.
Wang Lun was the first to greet Chao Gai and said, "Brother Chao is here, making the humble house shine. ”
When Chao Gai saw what Wang Lun said, he laughed and said, "I know that Brother Wang is very knowledgeable, don't be so sour about me!" ”
Wang Lun arched his hand to Chao Gai and said, "Where, where!" Then he looked at the man beside him. This is ......"
The person next to Chao Gai is dressed as a public man, with a waist and a simple knife, tall and long legs, purple begonia skin, and a fan-circled beard, which is unforgettable at first sight.
Chao Gai heard Wang Lun ask and introduced: "This is the head of the infantry of Yuncheng County. ”
Hearing the name Lei Heng, Wang Lun's face did not change, but his heart turned upside down. The heroes in the Water Margin, he has known a few since he hit it. But they are all small people, and the most famous is probably Chao Gai. The Lei Heng he saw today is the best martial artist he has known so far, maybe Chao Gai and the two are not compatible.
It's a pity that there is one, Wang Lun has some regrets. This person is Song Sanlang's old friend and his descendant.
Between the turns of his mind, Wang Lun still greeted Lei Heng warmly. said: "It turned out to be the famous Lei Dutou, and the name of the winged tiger is known to everyone in Jeju. ”
Lei Heng heard Wang Lun praise himself, and said modestly: "It's all the brothers in the rivers and lakes who carry love, and they can't compare to Wang Daguan!" ”
After several people saluted each other, Wang Lun entered the house with Chao Gai and Lei Heng. The three of them sat down in the host and guest seats, and Lei Heng explained his intention first. "Last month, there were Wang Xin brothers fighting tigers in Kusonggang to eliminate harm, and all the fathers and villagers in Yuncheng County were grateful in their hearts, and now there are three hundred taels of silver rewarded by the Yamen of Yuncheng County!"
After that, Lei Heng took off the burden on his body and handed it to Wang Lun.
After taking a sip of tea, Chao Gai said, "It's been more than a month since the last goodbye, and I have long wanted to come over to visit my brother. It just so happened that yesterday the county's reward came down, and after Brother Lei sent it to my village, we sent it to my brother together. ”
Yuncheng County offered a reward for silver to fight the tiger, and Chao Gai told him last time, but now the reward has become less, and it is expected that Yuncheng County will be greedy for ink. Wang Lun didn't care about this, and he didn't look at the silver.
Wang Lun hugged his fists and thanked Lei Heng: "I'm tired of Lei Dutou running in person, Wang Mou feels guilty!" ”
Originally, Lei Heng was still a little worried that Wang Lun would ask about the lack of silver, but at this time, he saw that Wang Lun just thanked him, and said in his heart that the white-clothed Xiushi was worthy of his name.
didn't dare to be Wang Lun's thanks, Lei Heng also returned a salute. "I don't deserve a word of thanks from the officials of Wang, I am fortunate to see the officials of Wang today, and Lei is fortunate to have three lives."
Chao Gai thought that this reward was also thanks to a friend of his own, so he said to Wang Lun: "Brother Wang, this silver reward is thanks to Song Zhusi of Yuncheng County, otherwise this reward will be deducted a lot!" ”
As soon as he heard that it was Song Abbot, Wang Lun immediately thought that this person was Song Jiang and Song Saburo. But he still pretended not to know and asked, "Who is this Song Absei?" ”
Chao Gai stroked the beard under his chin and replied with a smile: "This Song Zhisi and I have also been friends for many years, and Lei Dutou is also incompatible. After a pause, Chao Gai began to speak again. This person's original name was Song Jiang, nicknamed Hu Baoyi, who was anxious and righteous, and often saved people in times of crisis, so he was also called timely rain."
Lei Heng admired Song Jiang and made up what Chao Gai didn't say. "Brother Song, there is an old father and a younger brother in the family, and the Yu family is filial piety. For others, he is righteous and squanders money, and takes care of us a lot, and everyone calls him filial piety Hei Saburo. ”
For Song Jiang, Wang Lun was even more repulsive, in his heart, Song Jiang was like Liu Bei, who could only cry. Liu Bei also cried to Jingzhou and Yizhou, and he only cried to a group of heroes who were recruited. The tragic ending of the heroes of Liangshan was caused by him, and if you read it carefully, it is not difficult to see Song Jiang's hypocrisy and cunning.
Wang Lun remembered that when he watched the Water Margin in his later life, there was a chapter where Lu Junyi captured Shi Wengong alive, and it was written that Lu Junyi's reaction to catching Shi Wengong and Song Jiang was one joy and one annoyance, which illustrates the problem.
However, in front of Chao Gai and Lei Heng, Wang Lun also echoed it. "Yuncheng Hubaoyi has been famous for a long time, and today Fang is well-known."
Speaking of this nickname, Chao Gai pointed to Wang Xin who was standing next to him and said: "Don't hide it from Brother Wang, Erlang now has a nickname in Yuncheng County, called Xiao Yuanba!" Just this Erlang's strength, it's really amazing. ”
When Wang Xin heard this nickname, he smiled, obviously satisfied. Seeing this, Wang Lun was noncommittal, and only chatted with Chao Gai and Lei Heng about some customs.
After another half an hour or so, Xiao Lingguan came to report that Pan Xiaoqi was here. Wang Lun did not shy away from suspicion in front of Chao Gai and the two, and directly called Pan Xiaoqi in. When Pan Rabbit came in, he took his subordinates to inquire about Wang Lun's news, and he usually sent Pan Xiaoqi to pass the news.
Wang Lun asked bluntly, "Is there something wrong?" ”
Pan Xiaoqi was used to going back and forth at Wang Lun's house, and he was also familiar with Wang Lun, so he replied crisply: "My father just saw a team of officials entering the city at the city gate, let me tell you." ”
At this time, an official came to Jeju, and nine times out of ten it was Lee Bangyan, a member of the Ministry of Officials. "Got it, you go back first."
Wang Lun glanced at Chao Gai and the others, afraid that they would think too much, so he explained: "Now my brother has an errand from the county government faction, and he has to receive adults from the court, so he has to pay attention to it. ”
Unexpectedly, Wang Lun was quite well-informed, and Chao Gai thought that this show was really unusual.
Chao Gai knew that Wang Lun was going to take the state exam in August, and seeing that it was not too early, he and Lei Heng had to go back. So he stood up and said, "Since Brother Wang still has something to do, then let's leave first!" ”
Wang Lun also got up to send him off, and said sincerely: "I wanted to drink a few glasses of thin wine with the two brothers, who wants not to follow people's wishes, and they will make up for it in the future!" After that, Wang Lun was deeply moved.
Chao Gai dragged Wang Lun's hand and did not accept his salute. "Wait for the next time my brother sits on the brother's village, we won't get drunk and go home."
Wang Lun kept sending Chao Gai and the two to the gate, and also took out two packages, saying: "Brother has nothing to give, a few tiger bones to show their hearts." ”
Chao Gai took it generously, Lei Heng didn't expect that he would have a gift when he met Wang Lun for the first time, and thanked him again and again.
After sending away Chao Gai and the others, Wang Lun and Wang Xin wanted to go back to the Drunken Immortal Tower and bid farewell to Wang Yang's family. "Tonight, the Drunken Immortal Building is going to entertain a few distinguished guests, and the children are going to take care of it."
Wang Yang's injuries have gradually improved in the past few days, and he has become much more energetic. Thinking of the soup he made for his son, he was afraid that he would not be able to drink it. He said, "I also specially made soup for you, or I will ask Xiao Lingguan to send it to you later?" ”
Wang Lun didn't expect that he told his mother yesterday that he hadn't drunk the soup made by his mother for a long time, and his mother made it for himself today. Feeling grateful in his heart, Wang Lun couldn't bear to caress his mother's heart and said, "Okay!"
So Wang Lun took Wang Lun back to the Drunken Immortal Tower, at this time Wang Lun didn't expect that just sending this bowl of soup would cause a big thing.
