For three days in a row, Wang Fang did not go out to urge taxes, he seemed to have forgotten about this matter, and talked with his father and brother and Mr. Hou Shuxian every day, he was not in a hurry, Chen Kang was in a hurry, Wang Pan returned to the house every day to see him, Chen Kang asked as soon as he saw Wang Bei: "Son, when are you going to run an errand." Every time he asked, Wang Bei replied with a smile: "When you are well, how can I take you if you are not good?" Chen Kang grinned when he heard this,

As soon as Laba passed, the flavor of the New Year was getting closer and closer, Chen Kang had cultivated for a few days, and he could walk around and get up, he thought that these two heads would take the time to go home and find a tooth man, regardless of the high price and low price to sell the house, and then follow the king after the New Year, Chen Kang thought of this, walked out of the room, stood in the courtyard and took a deep breath, the sound of talking faintly came from the front hall of the courtyard, strange, didn't Wang Gongzi go to the lord's house today,

As he walked along the corridor towards the hall, two children ran out of the inner house of the corner gate, and when they saw Chen Kang, the two children stopped, and one of them shouted to Chen Kang: "Mr. Chen, where are you going?" ”

Chen Kang immediately stopped, aren't these two children the two children who play with gunpowder in the Wang family's mansion, why are they here, and remembered that day Tong Guan called Wang Pan's father, oh, probably this tiger-headed child is Wang Pan's son, but it's not right, Wang Fang is only about twenty years old, the child in front of him is about eleven or twelve years old, how can Wang Pan have such a big son, I am wondering, Tong Guan has already walked in front of him, Chen Kang couldn't help but take half a step back, what is this kid doing, is it not over that day that day I robbed him,

Tong Guan tilted his head and looked at Chen Kang, he couldn't figure out how his father could let himself be called such a cripple gentleman, but since his father said so, he saw that his father entertained this cripple again, and asked Lang Zhong to treat him, and he went to see him every day, and he didn't dare to be arrogant to Chen Kang, he walked up to Chen Kang and said respectfully: "Mr. Chen, what are you doing here, are you looking for my father, go, I'll take you with me." As he spoke, he pulled Chen Kang and walked quickly towards the hall.

Wang was talking to Yuan Ze and Wa Zhuang in the hall, and vaguely heard a sound outside the door, and then as soon as the door opened, Tong Guan pulled Chen Kang, who was grinning, and walked in: "Daddy, I saw that Mr. Chen was in the courtyard, so I brought him to you." He let go suddenly, Chen Kang stumbled and almost fell, Tong Guan turned around, and laughed heavily, this Tong Guan was really a little naughty, Wang Bei made a face: "Guan'er, don't be rude." Tong Guan stuck out his tongue: "The child is out." Then he turned around and hurried out of the hall,

Chen Kang reluctantly smiled and said, "Don't get in the way, don't get in the way." But I kept rubbing the wound on my buttocks, and I was just pulled away by Tong Guan, which would be a faint pain.

Wang Bei greeted with a smile: "Mr. Chen is here, come, I will introduce you, this is my brother." Chen Kang hurriedly saluted the eldest son, and then looked up to see a young man sitting in the guest seat, medium height, slightly dark skin but looked very capable, the man hurriedly got up and said: "In Xia Wazhuang, it is Gongzi's entourage, I heard Gongzi say Mr. Chen, it seems that you are recovering well." ”

Chen Kang was moved by this, he was an unknown person, Wang Bi also mentioned himself to others, he hurriedly thanked him, and when he saw Wang Beng let himself sit, his butt just hit the stool, and he stood up again: "I, I'm still standing." Everyone laughed, and Wang Bian didn't force him, turned his head to Wa Zhuang and asked, "You said that Cai Ting is coming to Linchuan, is this news accurate?" ”

Wa Zhuang hurriedly returned: "When I was about to leave, Nanfeng, who was sent by Cai, should stay in Nanfeng for one or two days, if nothing else, he will be able to go to Linchuan tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." ”

Wang Bian nodded: "Okay, it's just in time, we are also about to start acting today." After speaking, he looked at Chen Kang: "Mr. Chen, we will start to run errands in the county today, what do you think?" ”

Chen Kang shook his hands: "Oh, son, how dare I say I won't go, but you also know this matter, it is very difficult to do." ”

Wang next to him laughed: "It's not difficult, it's not difficult."

Yuan Ze looked at Wang Bian suspiciously: "Brother, what are you doing, just hand over the documents of the county order to Cai Zhuan." ”

That's too cheap that Zhu County order, Wang Bei just did that, he called Chen Kang, first, second, third, arrange one by one, Chen Kang frowned and nodded, and after listening to him, he asked: "Do you do this, okay." Wang took out a few silver ingots and a stack of silver ticket hinges and handed them to Chen Kang: "Listen to me, it's not wrong, if you want to do it, you can do it generously." ”

Chen Kang took the silver and the silver ticket hinge, the silver was heavy, and he looked at the silver ticket again: "Childe, how much is this." The king looked at him carefully, and reassured him: "Don't count, you can do it if you believe it." Chen Kang gritted his teeth, he could make Wang Bei trust him so much, he would definitely be able to do this well, and said in his mouth, "Good, good." And he took the silver and the ticket in his bosom, and turned and walked out of the door.

Yuan Ze has always watched Wang Bei's actions, and when he saw Chen Yuan going out, he also asked Wang Bei suspiciously: "Brother, this Chen Kang is timid and afraid of things, although he will not be greedy for money, but I am afraid that he will not be able to do what you have explained." ”

Wang said to Yuan Ze: "Brother, don't worry, this Chen Kang has a good heart, and he has a little courage at the critical moment; What's more, his cowardice is purely because of the disability on his feet, so he has low self-esteem, and take his time, there is something about this person. Wa Zhuang also received the grace of the king, and he said: "Don't worry, the eldest son, the second prince will not look at the wrong person." ”

Yuan Ze smiled: "Okay, since you started to urge taxes, and someone else is helping you with things, I'll go back." The king asked, "Why, there's still a good show, don't you watch it?" Yuan Ze stood up and asked curiously, "What else do you want to do?" ”

Wang next to the sly smile, ordered someone to call Rou'er, Rou'er into the room Wang stood up, walked to Rou'er, around Rou'er, up and down to look at this Rou'er, this careful look only to find that Rou'er is no longer the thirteen or fourteen-year-old little girl, although every day to meet but he has never looked at Rou'er so carefully, see Rou'er is already a big girl in her early twenties, see Rou'er is plain, clothes and accessories, standing there gentle and quiet, this girl is clever, but I don't know if I can do it, And Wang always felt that there was something wrong with Rou'er,

Yuan Ze and Wa Zhuang didn't know what Wang Bian was doing, and suddenly heard Wang Bian say to Rou'er: "Do you have any bright clothes, red, the more glamorous, the better, and you go and bring all the jewelry at home, oh, by the way, you go and dress up, rouge gouache, dress up beautifully." Rou'er was so red that she felt like this, and her heart was beating a drum, she didn't know what the king was going to do, but the king told her so much, so she had to obey the order.

This arrangement by the king also confused Yuan Ze, and when Rou'er turned around and walked out of the room, Yuan Ze asked Wang next to him: "Brother, what are you doing here, do you want to give Rou'er the identity of a good person." As soon as Wang saw Yuan Ze asking, he knew that Yuan Ze had misunderstood, and he explained with a smile: "I asked Rou'er and Wa Zhuang to do something too." Suddenly, he felt that Yuan Ze was talking about a good person, he had never heard of this word before, and immediately asked: "What is the identity of a good person?" ”

Seeing the blank face next to the king, Yuan Ze sighed: "I said brother, how can you understand and be confused for a while, our Great Song Song Law has regulations, the status of slaves and maids is lowly, it is considered private property, and what you want is your own business, but Song Law strictly prohibits "taking maids as concubines", you want Rou'er to change into gorgeous clothes, and ask her to wear jewelry, isn't it to give him the status of a beloved, and it is a concubine." ”

Wang Jian was stunned for a while, he only heard that in ancient times men could have three wives and four concubines, but he didn't know that there was such a rule in the Song Dynasty, he thought that if he didn't accept concubines, he wouldn't delay Rou'er, but he didn't know that it had been delayed so deeply, thinking of this, Wang Bian was a little self-blaming, but after thinking about it, it would be better for Rou'er, but what Rou'er wanted to do now was not what Yuan Ze thought,

As he was talking, Rou'er came in from the outside, wearing a bright red, lightly applying fat powder to sweep the moth eyebrows, so it looked really good-looking, Wang took the jewelry box, opened it to see, and thought that his own jewelry was really a lot, pearl agate, gold and silver jade, and took out a few hairpins from the jewelry box, picked a pair of earrings, and chose a green bracelet and handed it to Rou'er: "You put these on." ”

Rou'er put it on with a red face, and the king commanded: "You, I'll take a few steps." ”

Now it was difficult for Rou'er, she walked a few steps in the room as usual, and the king stopped her and said: "Stop, this won't work, twist your waist, as if you will sprain your foot at any time...... Yes, yes, and also, you talk a little more horizontally, don't talk to me like you usually do, okay, okay, that's it. ”

Rou'er glanced at Wang Bian embarrassedly, and Wang Bian called Wa Zhuang: "You take Miss Rou'er to Ruyi Restaurant." ”

Wa Zhuang and Rou'er sighed at the same time, and the king then arranged, "You, do this...... After listening to the arrangement next to the king, Rou'er was still a little hesitant, and said generously: "Miss Rou'er, if the prince tells me so, you can do it, if there is something, I will still be here." Rou'er nodded, and these two people also left the mansion,

The king's eyes fell on Yuan Ze, and Yuan Ze turned around and wanted to run: "Don't call me, these are all bad ideas you come up with, I can't do it." ”

Wang Fang grabbed him: "What are you running, you don't need to do these things, Rou'er and Wa Zhuang are good at doing things, and people will recognize you as soon as you go out, but it's not easy to do." Saying that, Wang put the jewelry box into Yuan Ze's arms: "When you are almost there, just take these to Ruyi Restaurant to find me, and you don't have to talk much when the time comes." ”

Yuan Ze looked at the jewelry box and looked at the king, with a helpless expression: "I know that you won't let me be idle, what you said is about the same time, when is it." ”

The king looked at the sky outside: "At noon, when the most people go to eat." ”
