Chapter 9: Brothers on Women

Wang got up early today, and he and Yuan Ze went to Wang Anshi's study together. On Wang Anshi's desk was the edict of appointment of the judge of the Herd Division. He was looking at a message sent by Han Jiang, saying that he had spoken well in front of Lord Bao, and Lord Bao would invite Wang Anshi and his son to sit in the house one day. Wang Anshi fell to the ground with a stone in his heart, and wrote back to thank Master Han. Wang Anshi put down his pen and looked up, and saw his two sons coming in hand in hand.

The eldest son, Wang Yan, Wang Yuanze, has clear eyebrows and beautiful facial features, more like the beautiful lady Wu, free, intelligent, and clever, full of poetry and books, people say that the three-year-old looks at the young and the seven-year-old looks old, and there is an allusion to the child's cleverness, when he was seven years old, the guests at home brought a deer and a deer, and asked Yuanze, which is the deer and which is the deer. The little child had never seen such a thing, but after thinking about it, he replied, "Next to the roe deer is a deer, and next to the deer is a roe deer." Such a wonderful answer attracted everyone's admiration, and Wang Anshi himself was very proud of this son.

The second son, Wang Fang, is like another person without this recovery, with sharp edges and handsome facial features, and recently heard that this son is not inferior to the eldest son who has been taught since childhood, and his heart is also very gratified. The two of them were already as tall as adults when they stood together, but after all, they were still children, their faces were slightly immature, and their bodies were slightly thin.

He motioned for his second son to sit down, and asked lovingly from his father, "I called you two here today to hear what you plan for your future?" ”

Yuan Ze and Wang looked at each other, and Yuan Ze thought that he was his brother, so he spoke first: "I have benefited a lot from coming to the capital this time, and I have seen the big exam." And the child also heard that Lord Ouyang is trying to focus on real talents, and he is not good at gorgeous and impetuous literary style, so he has changed his previous style of using talents. I also saw that the scholars of this science and technology were extraordinary, and they were ashamed. The child wants to continue the depth, and when he is confident, he will definitely ask for the title of the gold list. ”

Wang Anshi nodded with satisfaction, this was exactly what he was looking forward to. He turned his gaze again to the king, and saw that he had his head bowed as if in deep thought.

Wang Bianzai wanted him to enter the examination room and wanted him to die, not to mention the current classical Chinese, even when he returned to his predecessor, he dropped out of school in his teens. It's a coincidence to think about it, it turns out that I lost my family and gave up my studies when I was a teenager, and now I have more parents and brothers in my teens, and I have to read four books and five classics every day, and this deficit is too big.

Yuan Ze touched him with his elbow, Wang Bi hurriedly looked up, and saw Wang Anshi looking at him kindly, his heart was warm, and he looked at the family affection that he had not seen for a long time in his previous life for a month: "My illness is cured, and I haven't studied, so it's better to learn to take care of some daily chores in the house." In this way, my father can work with peace of mind, and my brother can concentrate on his studies. ”

Wang Anshi didn't expect that Wang was not very old, and he nodded when he thought about it: "I still learn my homework, I will take the two of you to meet Master Bao when I go back, if not, if you can get Lord Bao's appreciation, follow Lord Bao's side, and learn to handle cases on errands." ”

Wang Jian was excited when he heard it, isn't Master Bao Zheng Bao Zheng? Legend has it that the head door knocked a crescent scar on the black child. Seeing him alive this time, he couldn't help but laugh.

Wang Anshi and Yuan Ze looked at him at the same time, and said in their hearts that this king is stupid again, right?

What gave Wang a headache was that in order to see Lord Bao himself, he needed to make up for his evil first, and his brother Yuan Ze became his own tutor, and the two of them read during the day and read at night.

Speaking of candle night reading, when he moved from Wang to a courtyard with Yuanze, Wang Anshi sent someone to send candles and candlesticks. Originally, these lighting things were also available at home, but they would be much more expensive than oil lamps, so they were not as brightly lit as Pudi, and they would only be taken out when they and their children were reading at night. The rest of the family doesn't need to study, or they rest early, and they are only lit by oil lamps.

There is another advantage to moving to the courtyard where Yuan Ze lives, there is a study in that courtyard, and there is a stack of bookshelves against the wall, and two low tables are placed opposite each other, and the floor mat futons are placed respectively. The gentleman also has a set of chairs in the center, but the gentleman doesn't come every day, just like today, the gentleman doesn't come.

During the day, the two brothers read each other face to face, the study is spacious and bright, and there is a lotus pond in the main courtyard outside the window. Although he couldn't stand reading a book, and he couldn't bear to be sleepy and bored, he really didn't understand how the second son before he woke up would be interested in listening to reading.

The king walked beside him, thinking about the allusions to Bao Zheng's case. I couldn't help humming in my heart: Bao Longtu sat in Kaifeng Mansion and listened carefully. I once remembered the Dragon Boat Festival Day to congratulate the Son of Heaven, I talked to you in the courtroom, and when it came to the trouble, you looked uncertain, I expected that you must have an ex-wife in the original county. Now that his mother and son have come to look for you, why don't you recognize each other and deceive her? I advise you to recognize Xianglian as righteousness, and you can't regret it when the disaster comes.

Humming and humming, he sang out, and he was shaking his head and shaking his head happily, when he heard the laughter, he saw Yuan Ze applauding and said, "It's so interesting if you don't have a chant, but I don't understand what it means." Is it another phantom of your serious illness? ”

Wang Pan occasionally chatted with Yuan Ze about some modern things, and these were phantomed by Yuan Ze's illness.

The two put down the books in their hands, and Wang remembered that Peking Opera was only one or two hundred years old, and Bianjing, where they were located, should be Kaifeng, Henan now. Peking Opera is Beijing Opera, even if Peking Opera has a history of 1,000 years, it is the current Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures belong to the Liao State boundary.

Wang said in his heart, I said that he didn't understand it and said with a smile, "It's my ill illusion, then Chen Shimei won the champion and became a concubine, don't spoil the chaff at night, and was clicked by Lord Bao with a guillotine." ”

Yuan Ze laughed when he heard it and said: "Sure enough, from ancient times to the present, only Zheng Hao, the champion of Tang Huichang for three years, has been a horse, and there is no one else." After Song Taizu, he mainly took the literary examination, and the champion was awarded the title of Wenchen. Didn't the virtuous brother know that the dynasty was not allowed to kill Wenchen? ”

Wang Bi was shocked, but fortunately Yuan Ze reminded him, otherwise it would be worse if he said the wrong thing, and he thanked his brother. How do you know that Yuan Ze became serious after listening to it, "If there is no such dream, the most difficult thing in the world is a woman, there is an allusion in "The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of He Jin", does my brother want to listen to it?" ”

Seeing that he was talking about women at a young age, Wang Jian was funny, so he simply nodded. Seeing Yuan Ze shaking his head and talking. "At the end of the Shang Dynasty, Jiang Taigong lived in seclusion by the Weishui River. His wife, Ma, disliked his poverty and left despite the fact that the Taigong was retained, and later the Taigong helped King Wen and King Wu to establish the Western Zhou Dynasty. After sealing in Qi, it is the ancestor of the Spring and Autumn Qi Kingdom. Seeing that he was rich and powerful, Ma regretted that he had left him. found Jiang Taigong and asked to restore the relationship with him. Mrs. Jiang had seen through Ma's personality and didn't want to restore the relationship with her, so he poured a pot of water on the ground and asked Ma to put the water away. Ma hurriedly lay on the ground to get water, but could only receive some mud. So Jiang Taigong said to her coldly: "You have left me, and you can no longer be together." It's like water poured on the ground, and it's hard to take it back! The so-called 'easy things for the state?' If you don't collect it, you should think about it.'"

Suddenly! This horse splashes water in front of it, and it is difficult to collect the water, and it is also a drama, I didn't think that Yuan Ze also knew, it seems that this story is old enough.

The king applauded, "Well said! Yuan Ze smiled. The two chatted happily, Wang Pan already knew that Wang Anshi had been on duty in the government for the past two days, not in the house, he asked Yuan Ze to go out to play, Yuan Ze was also a child of the 14th Five-Year Plan after all, which was the beginning of Wang Bang, and was about to get up and go to the street, and the family Ding said that the master had just returned to the house, and asked the two sons to change their clothes and go to Kaifeng Mansion with the master.

Going to Kaifeng Mansion so soon? Wang Fang suddenly felt as if he had not prepared for anything. The two brothers next to Wang followed the small sedan chair where Wang Anshi was sitting and walked in Bianjing City, Yuan Ze looked at this strange city dizzily, and it was the first time for him to follow his father to the capital. Although he has been here for a while, he rarely goes out of the compound on weekdays, especially when he is on the street with his younger brother for the first time.

Wang next to the view of the city from a different angle, a thousand years later, he has been to the city more than once, the royal street from the palace Xuande Gate, to the south through the inner city of the Suzaku Gate, until the outer city of the south smoke gate, as long as more than ten miles. They walked along the streets, there were ditches dug on both sides of the royal street, the ditches were planted with lotus flowers, peach trees, plum trees, pear trees, and apricot trees were planted on both sides of the ditch, and the east and west sides of the ditch were royal corridors, which were areas for civilian activities, and there were various shops on the street.

The four rivers of Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty penetrate into the capital, among which the Bianhe River is connected between Bianjing and the rich Jiangnan, which undoubtedly adds prosperity to Bianjing. Passing by the merchants, students, preaching monks and so on in and out of the capital, all kinds of shops are not inferior to the current express hotels.

There are flat talks, miscellaneous dramas, dances, acrobatics, shadow plays, jokes, etc., which are staged in the south of the street, not only there are performances and storytelling, but also medicine shops, fortune telling, gambling, shaving heads, and so on. There are also various restaurants such as "Sichuan Restaurant", "South Restaurant", "Gourd Soup Shop", "Wonton Shop", "Sufen Tea" and so on.

The two brothers looked at each other dizzily, and were in high spirits, when they suddenly saw a crowd of people clamoring in front of them, and the king listened to it, as if it was because of the matter of coins. The quarrelsome man had brass coins in his hands, iron coins, or even lead and tin coins for the exchange ratio, and the quarrels were red-faced.

What are they arguing about? Wang couldn't help but be curious.

Yuan Ze seemed to be surprised: "Oh, it's not because of how this coin is exchanged?" Each family has its own algorithm, and the algorithm is unfair, so there is a quarrel! ”

A few steps further and a short distance away, a shop in front of the door with a curtain blocked, hanging on the big character of the banner written "fragrant soup" two type, Wang looked around and asked Yuan Ze: "Do the people of Bianjing have to use a curtain to block the soup?" ”

Yuan Ze laughed, no wonder this demented brother had never seen it, he hurriedly explained: "If you don't want to make a joke, this fragrant soup is the place to bathe." Wang Bi also wanted to laugh when he heard it, this bath water is soup, and he can't smell it, this ancient man bought and sold names, but it is interesting.
