Wu Shaowu came to the capital this time, completely accompanied Wu Qiming and Xu Zongying, Wu Shaogang was promoted to the commander of the urging army under the front division of the palace, guerrilla general, Wu Shaowu's status in the yamen is more prominent, the prefect Su Wengkui is very concerned about him, and then the news came that Wu Shaogang is very likely to marry the daughter of Li Tingzhi, the envoy of the two Huai systems, and Wu Shaowu's position will be more stable.

After coming to the capital, Wu Shaowu had nothing to do, every day was to wander around in the capital, and also went to Zhongwazi several times, approaching the Spring Festival, the capital seemed more prosperous, so that Wu Shaowu felt dazzled, and gradually had some ideas in his heart, but unfortunately he had almost no time to talk to Wu Shaogang, until the night before leaving the capital, he was able to sit down and talk to Wu Shaogang for a real time.

Although Wu Shaowu is older than Wu Shaogang, in front of Wu Shaogang, he behaves very respectfully and speaks very carefully, after all, Wu Shaogang's status is different, and the temperament he shows is by no means something he can learn.

Wu Shaogang didn't eat at home for dinner, Wu Qiming and Xu Zongying also had to prepare for departure, and his sister-in-law also wanted to go home early for the New Year, so Qingniang was not particularly prepared.

Wu Shaogang took Wu Shaowu to eat in the restaurant outside.

About a hundred steps away from his house, there is a restaurant, although it is not particularly luxurious, but the dishes taste good.

Entering the private room, Wu Shaogang ordered mutton hot pot and a few dishes very familiarly, and asked the little maid to serve the food as soon as possible, and not to disturb casually after the food was served.

When he picked up the wine glass, Wu Shaogang spoke.

"Cousin, how do you feel about coming to the capital this time?"

"Beijing and Luzhou are really different, and they are much more prosperous."

"Do you want to stay in the capital?"

When Wu Shaogang said this, Wu Shaowu's body trembled, and the wine in the wine glass almost spilled.

"Drink this glass, we're talking."

Wu Shaogang drank it in one go, and Wu Shaowu also drank it in one go.

After pouring the wine again, Wu Shaogang sighed.

"The prosperity of the capital is superficial, no identity, no status, it is not good to survive here, I remember I told you before, asking you to read more books, it may be that you have a lot of things to do in the yamen, and you have no time to read, I am afraid that it is because of this that you are attracted by the prosperity of the capital on the surface."

Wu Shaowu lowered his head and didn't speak, it wasn't that he didn't want to read, but he couldn't read it.

"Cousin, I can help you stay in the capital, but I don't plan to do this, the reason is very simple, if you do things in the capital, how much do you spend, with your income in the bureaucracy, can you maintain the expenses of your family, you don't have the slightest foundation in the capital, it is impossible to be taken care of by adults, and it is impossible to have a lot of income, just with your money, it is difficult for you to live personally, let alone support your family."

"The capital is indeed prosperous, much stronger than Luzhou, but the prosperity here, only a few people can enjoy it, my current status is not bad, I dare not spy on the prosperity of the capital, in time, I will leave the capital, because this place does not belong to me for the time being, let alone can fully accommodate me."

"Cousin, you are in the Luzhou Mansion, you are very comfortable, the prefect is very concerned about you, I heard that after the beginning of the year, the prefect is going to ask you to be in charge of the affairs of the office, so that the money can increase a lot, and I won't say much about the money in other aspects, give up such a good opportunity and status, fight to come to the capital, continue to live the days under the fence, and tremble every day, I really don't know what you think."

"Remember what I told you, the Wu family must rise, we are adrift, the foundation is still in the family, if the family can't prosper, everything we have is duckweed, everything we get will eventually be lost, where does the power and strength come from, not relying on outsiders to give, but to fight for ourselves."

"I became Lord Li's son-in-law, I think you are happy, and you are ready to congratulate me, but I won't be very happy, a manly man, I want to expand the territory, if you rely on women for promotion, even if you become the head of a hundred officials, you are also looked down upon by others, only what you can get by relying on your own hard work is real."

"The world is a little chaotic, the Mongolian Tatars in the north are eyeing each other, I don't know when they will launch a full-scale attack, Lizhou West Road, Lizhou East Road, Jingnan South Road, Huainan West Road and Huainan East Road and other places bear the brunt, Luzhou is the most cutting-edge place, the shame of Jingkang more than a hundred years ago, you know, who knows if such a shame will come again."

"How can there be eggs under the nest, as the commander of the Urging Front Army under the front division of the palace, if I watch all this happen, it will be a great shame, so my future road will not be in the capital, it should be at the forefront of the battle."

"Having said so much, it boils down to one sentence, in this life, you must rely on yourself, only when you become strong, can you really have power, and you can really live a good life."

"Cousin, many of the things I said today, I said it for the first time, these words will never dare to be said outside, if it is known by others, it will be a grasp of my handle, and they can calculate me at any time."

"The prosperity of the capital, don't be nostalgic, the prosperity here does not belong to you, nor does it belong to me."

Back at home, Wu Qiming, Xu Zongying and his sister-in-law all packed up.

Wu Shaolan's things were also picked up.

Wu Shaogang originally planned to let his parents go home with some of the gold, but after thinking about it, he gave up, now is not the time, the tree is big, there are really people who covet the family's money, and boldly do it, he is too far away, and the whip is beyond reach.

Seeing Wu Shaogang coming home, Wu Shaolan's expression was not very good.

"Little sister, what's wrong, I'm going home for the New Year soon, I should be happy."

"Brother, we are all going home for the New Year, what should we do if you are left in the capital."

"Look at what you said, didn't I celebrate the New Year at home last year, I was still fighting in the army at that time, and this year's situation is much better, at least I can spend the New Year comfortably in the capital."

"Brother, why don't you go home with us for the New Year, and you can come to the capital after the New Year."

"Little sister, you are still young, you don't know what it is to be involuntarily, okay, don't talk about these things, remember, Huanhuan is the first time to leave the capital, there may be some changes in temper, I estimate that after returning home, Huanhuan only listens to you, you have to be careful to greet and don't let Huanhuan attack others, this consequence is not as simple as you think."

Wu Shaolan nodded vigorously, it has been almost half a year, the relationship between her and Huanhuan has been very deep, most of the time, Huanhuan is by her side, although Huanhuan looks very vicious, she is like a cat in front of her.

Huanhuan was lying on the ground at the moment, looking at Wu Shaogang and Wu Shaolan.

"Huanhuan, come here."

Hearing Wu Shaogang's shout, Huanhuan hurriedly got up and ran over.

Wu Shaogang patted Huanhuan's head.

"Huanhuan, follow my little sister home for the New Year, you must listen to your little sister, don't get into trouble, otherwise I won't be able to spare you."

Huanhuan stuck out her tongue, as if she understood.

When he was about to rest, the housekeeper Wu Lin came over and said that his wife was waiting in the courtyard.

Wu Shaogang hurriedly walked to the courtyard.

It's very cold in the yard on winter nights, and even if you wear warm clothes, you can't stand it for a long time.

"Mother, it's so late, and I won't rest, I'm going to leave early tomorrow morning."

"Mother is fine, just now, things during the day, mother thinks a lot, many things in the capital, mother has never seen it in her life, go to the house of the Li and Li family's mothers, nervous and don't know how to do it, can't say anything, mother thinks you don't know how many such things you have experienced, mother is worried about you, which time did not deal with it well, people don't hate you."

"Mother, you think too much, don't say that in Lord Li's house, even in front of the emperor, the child has nothing to fear."

"Don't say that, my mother heard that there are gods in the palace to protect them, and if anyone dares to spread wild in the palace, they will be sent to hell."

The idea of imperial power has lasted for thousands of years, and ordinary people are in awe, so it is not surprising that there is such an idea.

Wu Shaogang didn't want to explain in this regard, and he was afraid that the words he said would scare his parents half to death, and he was even more uneasy.

"Mother, the child knows, he will deal with it carefully, don't worry about it, it's cold outside, it's better to go back to the house early to rest."

"My mother knows, and I don't know why, these days, my mother always thinks of when you were young, your father and mother had no ability, and they didn't let you study, alas...

The corners of Wu Shaogang's eyes were a little moist, but he quickly suppressed his emotions.

"Mother, didn't the child have an opportunity, I met the old gentleman, taught the child a lot of things, otherwise the child would not be able to kill the enemy on the battlefield, the old gentleman said, the child's life is hard, and the gods in the sky are protected."

"Hearing you say this, my mother is even more uncomfortable, you encountered such a big thing, my mother didn't know, and I didn't thank the old gods."

"Mother, the old gentleman said that the child is not allowed to spread the news, if the news is spread, the old gentleman will punish the child."

"Yes, the gods are like this."

When helping his mother into the house, Wu Shaogang saw the light in the room, and a dark shadow stood in front of the window, it must be his father Wu Qiming.

Seeing that all the lights were extinguished, Wu Shao just walked out of the house and came to the courtyard.

After more than a year, Wu Shaogang has integrated into the Southern Song Dynasty, but he has too many things on his back and too much pressure, which no one will understand, he can't confide in, he can only bear it himself, if it weren't for his tenacious will and tenacious mind, I'm afraid he would have been unable to bear it a long time ago.

The road ahead will be even more dangerous, and if he is not careful, he may cause a big disaster, he himself has nothing to worry about, but the Wu family and his family can't bear all this.

Therefore, since Wu Shaogang has embarked on such a path, he must be ruthless and make decisions immediately, any indecision may lead to a place of no return.
