Chapter 5 Iwatani Prefecture Relations

In the quiet of the night, I was suddenly awakened by a rooster crowing. Bursts of chirping came into Wu Song's ears, and Wu Song opened his eyes and thought about what he was going to do today. Sensing the slightest flickering candlelight outside, but it was his brother who had already gotten up, Wu Song got up and fumbled to get dressed. Candles were lit. Correct appearance again. picked up the candle and walked to Wuda and said: Why doesn't my brother rest with my sister-in-law. smiled and whispered over Wu Da's ear: I am more gentle with my sister-in-law, and I am also hugging my little nephew early. I gave up my sister-in-law so early and came to get these things randomly. Wu Da sighed and said in a low voice: Why is Erlang so unreasonable, he is really going to beg for a beating, you go and sleep for a while, make a good breakfast, and then ask you to get up and eat. Don't say some crazy things here, don't be stunned, said and looked at Wu Song carefully, touched Wu Song's head, softened Wu Song's face, and said: Go and sleep more. I'll call you when the time comes.

Wu Song saw that Wu Da was not happy, and sighed in his heart that the thoughts of the ancients were really shackled. I don't dare to say more: brother, I'm used to getting up early, I went to wash my face and move my muscles. Then he said solemnly: Brother wait for me to earn more silver taels in the future, you must work less and be more happy. Without waiting for Wu Da to reply, he took cold water and washed his face and hands. I took some salt and groped for my teeth to clean my teeth. After washing up and moving my muscles and bones a little, I took a bucket and fetched water.

Wu Da saw that Wu Song took the bucket to fetch water, and hurriedly stopped him and said: Erlang, don't do this cheap business, don't be seen to lose face, wait for me to go by myself.]

Wu Song listened to Wu Da's words and said: What did my brother say, my brother went. Then he opened the door and went to fetch water.

Wu Dagang wanted to grab the water and didn't want Wu Song to have already walked out of the door, so he shook his head happily and helplessly, and was busy fiddling with the cooking cakes.

Pan Jinlian had already woken up, and when she heard the sound, she said unconsciously in a cold voice: How did this ignorant thing make my uncle get up so early... Then he thought to himself and said in a shy voice: I don't know what my uncle likes to eat, I want to get some, but it's a pity that I didn't have anywhere to get some meat for my uncle to eat so early.. Then I hurriedly got dressed. I didn't feel so distressed to light the candle and slowly tidy up my makeup. Hearing the sound of going back and forth below, I was so happy that I thought: Uncle is a good man, and he got a few trips of water so quickly. I couldn't help but speed up and looked in the mirror carefully. It's only when the crimson face is finished. Then I hurried downstairs. When he saw Wu Da, he complained and said: The eldest brother is ruthless, and he let his uncle get up and be busy so early. Without waiting for Wu Da to reply, he began to clean up the pot and stove, washed the rice food, and began to cook.

After a while, the glow of the sky flew up, and the sun poked its head out leisurely. The slightest mist lifted. Wu Song faced the rising sun, finished running, finished a few punches and kicks, and was a little hungry. So he went home. But he found that his brother was already carrying the burden and was about to go out, so he hurriedly stopped him and said: Brother, take a look, there is no figure on this street, you have breakfast, so you go out in such a hurry.

Wu Da smiled and said: Your sister-in-law specially got some food today, you go to stay and eat well and go to work, remember not to be reckless. I just have a lot of business, and I can't wait too late, so people are impatient to stay for a long time.

Wu Song couldn't take it, so he could only watch Wu Da hurriedly carry the burden away. Wu Song couldn't help but burst into tears again, and he was even more determined to think about getting more silver first. Silently entered the door, saw the cooking cake left on the table, and ate it. Two cookcakes are under the stomach, and they are already six points full.

At this time, Pan Jinlian had already made the rice porridge, brought it out, and said with a soft and delicate smile: Uncle will bring me vegetables and eat cakes and gruel with my uncle, don't be hungry. Without waiting for Wu Song to reply, he put the rice porridge and served the hot leftovers.

Wu Song picked up the rice porridge, smelled the sweetness, and ate it. Pan Jinlian came out with the leftovers, and brought herself a bowl of rice porridge and put it on the table, happily watching Wu Song's sweet food. Not much to say. Wu Song saw his sister-in-law looking at him. Hurriedly said: Sister-in-law works hard early in the morning, eat quickly, don't take care of the little brother politely, otherwise the little brother will never dare to stay at home to eat in the future, and the sister-in-law will be tired.

Pan Jinlian smiled happily when she heard Wu Song's pause: The slave family will eat here, and the uncle must not say that he will not eat at home. Full of joy, he picked up the bowl and ate it slowly, occasionally eating some cooking cakes and vegetables.

Wu Song ate all the bowl of rice porridge, got up and went to the kitchen to eat another bowl without speaking. Seeing Wu Song sitting down at the dinner table, Pan Jinlian said: Why didn't my uncle wait for the slave family to serve the meal, but went to the kitchen to be busy by himself, didn't he dislike the slave family, let outsiders know that the slave family did not serve the uncle to eat, and he would laugh at the slave family for not knowing things.

Wu Song hurriedly said: What did my sister-in-law say, I wanted to get up early to make a meal to eat with my brother and sister-in-law, but when I saw that my sister-in-law had gone to cook by herself, I went to the outside world to move my body. How dare you let your sister-in-law work hard to eat, sister-in-law should please eat with peace of mind. The younger brother has never honored his brother and sister-in-law, and it is already a loss of heart, and outsiders dare to bully and laugh at his brother and sister-in-law, I will not let them take a break.

Pan Jinlian listened to Wu Song's words and was even more happy. , maybe he would be wrong about what modern people mean. Although I have been listening to Wu Song talk about my brother, I feel a little unhappy. But it doesn't stop me from being full of joy.

Wu Song finished drinking the rice porridge and ate some cooking cakes and vegetables. Only then did he get up and salute: Sister-in-law eat slowly, I am full, I have to go to the yamen to order, sister-in-law will sit down and go to the younger brother. Just when the sister-in-law got up to send her off, Wu Song had already walked out and said: Sister-in-law is safe to use slowly, and the little brother is gone.

Pan Jinlian looked at Wu Song's departing back stupidly, and suddenly remembered something. I drank all the rice porridge, hurriedly cleaned it up, rubbed some silk I bought yesterday with joy, and said to myself with a smile: This fabric is good, and when the clothes are made and worn by my uncle, it must be extraordinary, and I think about it is a shy smile. Then I straightened my face and started to dress seriously.

The sun seems to refresh the spirit and pass on endless warmth. Sprinkled on the land of Yanggu County. There were gradually more pedestrians on the street, and Wu Song hurriedly nodded. I instructed a few younger brothers, bought a few gifts, and let people send the carts to the four big families in the county in turn., the gifts are not very valuable, but there are many kinds.

Xu Han County Ling was eating tea at home, and when he heard that Wu Song had sent a gift, he suddenly felt a little unhappy. Xu Ming saw that Xiang Gong didn't like it, so he was so busy that he snatched the gift list in the hands of his subordinates, took it in his hand and looked at it, no wonder Xiang Gong didn't like it. He hurriedly handed it to the county magistrate and said: Master, this is Brother Song's gift list, and when I see him again, I will let him get some more to accompany him. The province is unhappy with the master. The county magistrate read the gift list, but turned angry and said with joy: Don't let him send it again, Wu Song is also a person with a heart. It's not in vain that I'll lift him up. Xu Ming waved his hand to let his subordinates leave, and ordered someone to reward some copper coins, and then asked with a smile: Xianggong, why are you angry first and then happy, I read the gift list and there is nothing special. The county magistrate scolded with a smile: You guy, you often let you study, but you just don't listen, and now you don't understand the truth! Wu Song's people have no foundation and no property because they have just come to the county. When I saw him giving gifts, I thought that he was the same as others, and he took the silver taels I rewarded and bought a generous gift, then he was not a sincere person, just like those flattering villains. I'll have something to do later. How dare you use it as a confidant. But I read the gift list and bought a gift, although it is cheap, but there are many types, and I cut them into two copies. It means that Wu Song is a polite person, although I don't have the money to buy that expensive gift, but in the future, I will definitely be more attentive and harder than others." Then he patted Xu Ming's head and said: Understood! Read more in the future!" Xu Ming then said: Brother Wu Song is such a careful person, I will definitely be close to him in the future.

A few small guys, the gifts were sent to the other three big homes, heard the same gifts, the county order was angry and then happy, and rewarded the copper coins to let the little guys leave. The little guys finished their work and regained their lives to Wu Song. Wu Song asked about the situation. I took some loose silver and let the little Si go to eat and drink. The little guys happily divided the copper coins and went to eat wine and food. I have more respect for this new captain in my heart.

Seeing that the sun was already hanging in the heavens and the earth, according to the current hour, it was almost twelve o'clock, and Wu Song was about to go to dinner. But seeing Xu Ming coming over, Xu Ming smiled and said to Wu Song: Brother, the minister said that you have just arrived in the county, and there must be no good place to eat, so I have come to ask you to go over for a meal. My brother came with me, don't let my husband stay unhappy for a long time. Wu Song got up and tidied up his appearance, and followed Xu Ming to the county governor's house. The county magistrate's house is located in the inner garden of the county ya, and he lives with the other three elders, but he also opened the courtyard door and separated the mansion. The prefectural order is the largest, and the other three are slightly smaller.

But in the inner courtyard, the house is located and beautifully decorated, according to the eyes of modern people, this is the perfect garden-style villa. Wu Song didn't dare to look at it more. Immediately following Xu Ming, about five minutes, he had already arrived at the dining hall. The prefectural order is to sit upright on the main seat. Wu Song was so busy that he knelt on the ground and thanked Master Enxiang for his grace. Xu Han smiled and helped Wu Song up: You are a person with a heart, do things well in the future, I will not treat you badly, although I will sit on your head, but I am afraid that you have no foundation, and some people around you will underestimate you, and specially invite you to come over for dinner. Let them not embarrass you in the future. Wu Song was so busy that he wanted to thank him again, and the county order had already helped Wu Song to say: No need to pay attention, let's eat, I know that you are a man, and I specially ordered the kitchen to prepare more meat. Wu Song thanked the county order again, and the Yahuan next to him poured a glass of wine, and Wu Song was so busy that he picked up the wine and saluted Xu Han. Xu Han and Wu Song ate a few glasses of wine and ate some food. He also said to Wu Song: Don't detain, you can take care of yourself, and let Xu Ming accompany you to eat some wine. I went to dinner with my wife. Save yourself from having enough to eat here. Tomorrow, I will lead you to see Madame again. Wu Song was so busy that he got up and thanked Zhixian. Xu Han patted Wu Song on the shoulder and went back to the inner hall.

Wu Song and Xu Ming bragged, drank and drank, and after a short time, they were already full of wine and food, and they were about to go to thank Zhixian for their kindness, but Yahuan said: The eldest master has instructed, if Wudu is full, drink some tea, and let Ming lead him away, and there is no need to thank each other again. Wudu will come to the house often in the future, and there is no need to bring any gifts. If you encounter difficulties, you can find him at home. Wu Song secretly raced some scattered silver. Thank you for your kindness. I ate some tea with Xu Ming, and when the time was almost up, I said goodbye to Xu Ming and went to work in the government office. The psychology is muttering: In the feudal society of dog days, civil officials are really superior! It is no wonder that Yu Yunwen, a civil official of the same level, recognized the military general as his godson, and the military general happily charged into battle and won a great victory in Quarry Rock.

Wu Song took the time to apologize to his boss Cao County, claiming that because he had just arrived in the county, he didn't know the details, and his hands were really shy, so he happened to win a lot of silver. I'm going to write an IOU and pay it back to the boss in the future. County Lieutenant Cao knew that Wu Song was at the county magistrate again at noon and had lunch. He refused to let Wu Song write any IOUs. In the end, Wu Song was rewarded with a few taels of silver. only then did Wu Song leave.
