Chapter 11 Recognize a good godfather
Suddenly, the old housekeeper came over and invited the two sons into the house to talk. The two pushed open and walked into the room, saluted, and Wang Anshi said to the king. "If not, hurry up and knock on your father-in-law," Wang was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand. Father-in-law? What stepfather? He was at a loss, and heard Prime Minister Bao Cheng laugh and said, "Next to the king, are you willing to be the son of an old man?" ”
This is simply a thunderbolt in the clear sky, the world has fallen a big pie, and it falls on the head of the king next to him, this is Bao Zheng, he has become Wang Anshi's son is enough blood, and he actually crossed and asked someone Bao Zheng to be his godfather, Wang couldn't help but pinch his thigh, it really hurt! He immediately understood, and fell to his knees.
Bao Zheng instructed the old housekeeper to take Wang Pan to see Mrs. Bao, and cleaned Wang Pan's bedroom on the same day, and at the same time discussed with Wang Anshi to let Wang Pan serve his side. Wang Anshi happily accepted it, but Yuan Ze was a little reluctant, but he was happy to think about it for his younger brother. Wang couldn't help but sigh when he saw Yuan Ze and his family affection.
When the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, Bao Zheng sent invitations to several colleagues who have a good relationship with the DPRK and China, and the Mid-Autumn Festival set up a wealthy banquet, inviting everyone to enjoy the January Moon with their families, and celebrate the collection of Yizi Wang.
Fate has changed dramatically, is this a new beginning next to the king? At this moment, he was excited, and in the first few days, he thought that if he couldn't return to his predecessor, he would use Wang Anshi's fame to become a petty official, but he didn't know that he recognized Bao Zheng as his father-in-law one night. The career was opening its doors to him, and he had bigger ideas in his heart.
The following days became more and more fulfilling, Wang went to visit his mother-in-law Mrs. Cui every day, and then went to Wang Anshi's mansion to meet Mrs. Wu, and still listened to Mr. Yuanze's lectures for half a day, and the other half a day in Kaifeng Mansion and Bao Zheng's entourage guards to learn some weapons and boxing techniques. Even if you don't fight, you can at least do fitness and strengthen your body. The Mid-Autumn Festival is here in a blink of an eye.
On this day, the house was lit up with lights, and Bao Zheng feasted his colleagues and friends in the garden of the house.
The garden on Bao Zheng Mansion is huge. The road is paved with bluestone, and the road is lined with trees such as long pines, ancient cypresses, pomegranates, and cherries. The promenade runs through the main hall of the courtyard and other landscapes in the courtyard, and the two sides of the promenade are decorated with Julie, Shandan, Ruixiang and smiles. There is a man-made pool in the park, and a long corridor leads to the water pavilion in the pool. The pond is planted with lotus flowers, and there are more golden fish swimming in it, and there is a rockery about a few meters high in the corner of the garden, and the whole yard is scattered. The moon-viewing night banquet is on the terrace of the water pavilion, and the terrace of the terrace has already been set up with wine and food, and there are pomegranates, pears, dates, chestnuts, grapes and other fruits.
The people who went were all heavyweights: Ouyang Xiu at a table, grandfather Zhao Zongshi, Di Qing, Bao Zheng, Wang Anshi, Han Jiang and others.
During the chatting and drinking, there was only one person who said very little, this person was the privy envoy Di Qing, he didn't expect Zhao Zongshi to come, Di Qing didn't tell anyone about the things that Zhao Zongshi hinted at before, but he was really worried in his heart.
At the other table, there are two Su Shi brothers, Wang Pang brothers, and Zhao Zhongzhen, several teenagers. These people also talked in detail, but Su Shi was sullen. It is said that he is already a Jinshi and disdains to be with children, but there is a mentor Ouyang Xiu at the other table, and the others are also ministers of the court. This feeling of not being able to go up and down made him very embarrassed.
In the hall of the water pavilion, there is a table of family women. When the wine was drunk, Han Jiang raised his glass to congratulate Bao Zhengxi on receiving his son, everyone drank freely, and suddenly had a whimsy, and the children wrote poems against each other. Di Qing hurriedly waved his hand and called himself a rough person, not good at this style. Ouyang Xiu laughed, that is, it is better for adults to send questions for children to answer.
So I called a few children. Seeing that the adults regarded themselves as children, Su Shi was even more depressed. Even if Ouyang Xu loves his disciples, he naturally has no choice but to do so. Ouyang Xiu said: "The moon is bright and the moon is bright in August. Then he looked at the crowd and said, "Which son will answer?" Everyone looked at it, and Han Jiang said, "Why don't you answer with the son of Lord Wang?" Yuan Ze got up and said: "Shanshan Shanxiu Wushan Xiuxiu is very." Everyone lined up and applauded. Everyone played the pair of wine orders this time, and it was Wang Anshi's turn, and he asked Su Shi: "West of Tieweng City, Three Treasures of Gold, Jade and Silver Mountain." ”
Su Shi was speechless for a while, Ouyang Xiu also thought hard about Zhao Zongshi, who had already seen Su Shi's unhappiness, and saw that Wang Anshi's question was difficult for Su Shi, and he thought that Wang Anshi was stumped in front of everyone Ouyang Xiu's master and apprentice, and there was a good show to watch. It is better to try this Wang side as well, and he said, "Lord Wang, this question is really exquisite. Why don't you let the king try this question. ”
The king thought for a while and replied: "On the Jinluan Palace, there is a courtier in purple and blue green clothes. ”
Su Shi was young and vigorous, and he couldn't save face, so he said: "Master Bao, this topic is unfair, they are father and son, and it is inevitable that they will be connected." As soon as these words came out, Ouyang Xiu secretly complained in his heart.
I came here today to congratulate Bao Zheng and receive his righteous son, isn't this to set up Master Bao? Zhao Zongshi saw that the situation was a little chaotic, and he was even more overjoyed, so he said: "If you say so, it is better to let Master Bao ask the question." ”
Bao Zheng smiled: "It's okay, I have a question, you listen to one year old, two springs and two Augusts, two spring and autumn in the world, is this question difficult enough for Su Shixian's nephew?" ”
At this time, Bao Zheng was already unhappy because of what Su Shi just said, so he asked Su Shi if this question was difficult enough? If he says it's not difficult, see how he's right; If he says it's difficult, then it's normal that the king can't come up.
Su Shi was really stunned, not only Su Shi, but even Wang Anshi complained bitterly.
Wang looked at everyone present who had already drunk about the same, and Bao Zheng's face was already red.
Ouyang Xiu was the first time he had seen him, and he was nearly fifty years old, with a thin face and white beard. I also know in my heart that he is attained. Think about the so-called Song Liujia, there is only one person missing the position today. Look at this person, he is also a stubborn literati like Wang Anshi. Ouyang Xiu was still pondering.
Wang Bei turned his gaze to Di Qing, no wonder people said that Di Qing and Bao Zheng had changed their heads. One is a civil official, but he has a high eyebrow; One is a military general, but he is gentle and elegant.
The legendary Di Qing: There is a saying that Di Qing has tattoos on his face, so he wears a mask to fight. There is also a rumor that Di Qing is too handsome to wear a mask to fight.
It's very reasonable to see it today; The tattoo on his forehead did not affect Di Qing's appearance of Pan Anmei's masculinity at all, but it may have been absent from the battlefield for a long time, less murderous and more silent.
And when Wang Bian and Di Qing looked at each other, a strange scene, a scene he had never experienced before, clearly appeared in his mind, a general fought bloodily, with a shining sword in his hand, fighting with the enemy. Suddenly, he clearly saw that the general was himself.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, "The three generals of Liao and Xia are majestic, and the temple is majestic on all sides." ”
As soon as this sentence came out, Bao Zheng laughed, Wang Anshi was shocked, Ouyang Xiu Su Shi was unwilling, and Zhao Zongshi was secretly happy in his heart. Di Qing seemed to see a sneer in Grandpa Zhao's eyes, and his heart was greatly disturbed.
In front of everyone, the king showed his face, he didn't know, what was contained in Zong Shi's eyes when he looked at Di Qing? This sentence "the temple is majestic on all sides" made him invisibly fall into a bloody storm of the temple. He didn't know that from this moment on, Ouyang Xiu and Su Shi took a pimple on Wang Anshi's father and son; However, this is nothing, at this time, a person is rushing towards Bianjing. The strange woman who once said to Shen Kuo that he wanted to see has come to Wanshengmen.
There is a large compound in the north of Kaifeng Mansion. This compound is about the size of a football field, enter the courtyard gate and bypass the shadow wall, you can see that the courtyard is surrounded by several rows of trees, there is a ring in the middle of the open field, and the left and back sides of the ring are neatly placed with swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks. Directly opposite a building hall, the golden inscription plaque reads "Yingwu Building". If you sit behind the railing on the upper floor, you can see every corner of the entire courtyard.
A horse was running on the playground, and he saw the king of the horse beside a straw man holding a bow in his left hand and a bowstring in his right hand. The bow is supported, the front handle is pushed, the back handle is pulled, the front handle is supported, the back handle is held, the breast is pulled, and the elbow is turned to adjust the face. The eyes were hung with a line, the bow was drawn with a loose string, and an arrow flew out with a whizz, hitting the straw man opposite.
Wang was overjoyed, he liked the feeling of galloping too much. The horse returned to the front of the Yingwu Palace, and the king turned over and dismounted to meet Di Qing, who was sitting in front of the Yingwu Palace. "Master, please."
Di Qing said, "You have a good grasp of the basics. Memorize the essentials! ”
Wang recited "The front is like pushing Mount Tai, the back is like holding a baby, the bow is like a full moon, and the arrow is like a shooting star"
Di Qing stood up and took the bow and put it in his hand and shook it: "This bow is still light, although you have to master it, but the basic skills are not solid, when you have nothing to do, you have to step up your practice of standing skills." Standing skills are done, hang your arms. Only when the arms are hung can the bow be drawn. "Follow Master's teachings." The king arched his hand and said. The master and apprentice were talking, and saw Wang Yan and Wang Yuanze walking in from outside the courtyard.
"Yuan Ze meets Master Di." Coming to Di Qing, Yuan Ze bowed his hand.
Di Qing said, "No courtesy!" He turned his head to the king and said, "You have been practicing for a long time today, and you are making rapid progress, so remember the key points and stick to daily practice." The king nodded yes.
The two brothers said goodbye to Di Qing and walked outside. Since the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, the two brothers rarely have time to get together. Wang asked Yuan Ze: "How can my brother have time to come out today." He knew that Yuan Ze was studying hard for the next entrance examination.
"It's okay today, I want to come out to breathe, and I'm looking for a good brother to go to the street to play for a while." Yuan Ze said. The two chatted as they walked, and the king pointed to his arm and said, "I have been practicing horseback archery every day for the past few days. See! Isn't it much stronger. Yuan Ze patted him and nodded with envy. The virtuous brother is really much stronger. ”
The king asked, "What's new with my brother?" ”
Yuan Ze said: "There is nothing new, but there is a distinguished guest in the house today, guess who it is?" ”
Wang Bi shook his head, and Yuan Ze said, "Lord Sima Guang is here today. ”
Wang asked in surprise: "But that young man smashed the cylinder to rescue Sima Guang of his partner?" ”
Yuan Ze said, "Exactly, Lord Sima Guang recently arrived in the same department as my father. ”
