Song Jiu first glanced at Pan Li'er in surprise, then smiled and asked, "Mrs. Pan, are you willing to marry me." ”

"No, you have to send someone to the door to propose, that's love, not to scare me, and disagree with my family."

Song Jiu is happy again, the little girls have come to the door, what else is there to disagree, but this is the Song Dynasty, it is impossible to fall in love first, then live together, and then think about it, especially a woman like the Pan family. He said slowly: "No, you see I'm in a hurry, I plan to open the playground next year, which means that I have some industry in my hands, and the distance from your home will be reduced, and then I will send someone to propose marriage." Otherwise, if you mention it now, your mother will refuse it immediately, and it will not be good to mention it again in the future. ”

"That, that," Pan Li'er pinched the corner of her clothes and dared to ask, but her face had already become a red cloth.

"Mrs. Pan, that day I was gathering coolies to discuss, you stood on the lower earth bridge and watched, I was moved when I saw you, it was admiration, not frivolity. Although many people say that I am lazy, I don't understand, I am so diligent, how can I be lazy? ”

Pan Li'er couldn't help but bow her head and steal fun.

Hit a muddy, otherwise the little girl couldn't let go, Song Jiu said again: "Later, I saw you again on the river embankment, and at that time, I didn't know your name and address, so I tried to find a way to talk." The capital is vast, and if you miss it, you may miss it for a lifetime. But you think I'm light, and you're going to beat me with your two brothers. ”

"Many people in the capital say, can I not be angry?"

"That's too, Mrs. Pan, in fact, I am attentive and often inquire about your news."

"Don't say it. They all made me laugh at me. ”

"Either so, I'll come back from Liangchuan. and send to your house to propose marriage. ”

"Yes." Pan Li'er said, don't mention it again. Not only do the best friends joke, but the two brothers also laugh from time to time.

"Mrs. Pan, what do you think?"

"I'm good to ask." Speaking of this, Pan Li'er took out a sachet from her bosom and said: "This is the peace charm I embroidered, and there is also a peace charm opened by Master Huiyuan of Xiangguo Temple, you wear it, the two rivers are not calm, so that it can bless you all the way safe." ”

"Thank you." Song Jiu took the sachet and saw that her little hands were as white and lovely as jade. Gently holding that little hand.

"No ......"

"Don't worry, I'll have a safe journey," Song Jiu said, and gently brought her body over, hugged her in his arms, and kissed her on the red lips.

"Song Jiu. You slighted me. ”

"It's not frivolous, it's that I want you to be the only person I can do for the rest of my life."

"Don't you want to make it bad," Pan Li'er's voice became softer and softer, and the kiss just now scared her. A face turned red again. Suddenly, he said, "You're a bad person." ”

Then he trotted all the way to escape.

Song Jiu looked at Pan Li'er's back and thought to himself, could it be that the Pan family wanted to move?

As he walked out of the bridge pier, he saw Pan Li'er get into the car and leave. No one paid attention to this scene. Song Jiu continued to be busy, and returned home when it was about to get dark. I saw a young man sitting in the living room roasting and eating tea, and the young man looked very quiet. It's just that the whole body is brocade, and I want to come from an extraordinary background. Song Jiu didn't know him, he was talking to Yuping.

Seeing Yuping, Song Jiu felt a burst of guilt in his heart for no reason. Song Jiu came back, and the young man didn't stand up, sat on the chair and said, "Jiulang, right?" ”

"I'm Song Jiu, are you?"

"I'm Wang Jixun, the secretary of the guard infantry army."

"I've seen Uncle Guo, Wang Sishi, aren't you in Hanzhong?"

"I'm back early, and Your Majesty ordered me to go back to Beijing to recruit new troops."

"Isn't there still tens of thousands of troops on the Bashu side?"

"I know the truth."

Song Jiu and Yuping glanced at each other, Wang Jixun may know the Dao, may not know the Dao, but even if he knows the Dao, he will not tell them. This is a precaution that the imperial court is afraid of the entire erosion of the Liangchuan army, and it is done in advance. And before that, Song Jiu also said something.

Bashu is in chaos, Song Jiu said that the epidemic is contagious, this chaos is also slowly spreading, Qinnan West County Governor Zhongshe Wang Nuan was in the West County for the magistrate of the county, greedy and bribery, killing the people. As a result, the matter stabbed into the capital, and Zhao Kuangyin issued an edict to abandon the city. Then he issued an edict to transfer all the officials of the prefectures and counties in the southwest of Beijing for one year, and all those who passed the examination of the officials and the subordinates to be transferred to Liangchuan as officials, and only those who surrendered and those who were over 70 years old should not be reawarded. It's time to get started. But the action is small, and I am afraid of accidents. Including abandoning Wang Nuan to the city, it is purely a killing of chickens and monkeys. If it is guilty, at least 5,000 soldiers under Wang Quanbin should be punished for abandoning the city.

"It turns out that Uncle Guo returned to Beijing to recruit troops."

"There's no way, for the sake of Da Song, I have to go back and forth."

"Yes, yes," Song Jiu held the teacup with which Yuping had made tea and asked again, "...... Uncle Guo came to my house?"

"Two things, when I went back to the capital, I went to your river island to take a look, and I did a good job."

"Don't dare to be."

"But I don't understand, why did I receive only half of the silk?"

"At that time, the money was calculated, and at most 250,000 yuan was used, and the actual completion of the entire project was completed, and I estimated that 230,000 yuan was enough. It will be completed next year, but there will be no further work next year. This will not be until the year after then. I don't feel at ease when the money is kept in my home, so I have to send someone to take care of it, so I have agreed with the government that no one will accept it until the money is 250,000 yuan. Because it was the good intentions of the uncle, we made an exception to accept half of it. If it is harvested in full, the rules will be broken, and the river will not be able to manage it in the future, and it will be torn apart. At that time, the money you have invested will not only not be recovered, but will also be lost. Please forgive me. ”

"I see, I won't blame you, this is the first thing, the second thing is to say to you, I will say to Your Majesty, I will take the Xiongwu army to the west in the near future, you go with me."

"...... with you"

"Don't you want to?"

"How dare you, it's my honor, but this time it's different, I want to go back quickly, it doesn't matter if we break our own livelihood, I'm afraid of breaking the dock. It's just that the thirty light horsemen quickly went south, looked around, and returned to the capital. Song Jiu paused and said: "Besides, Uncle Guo also invested four or five thousand silks, although the emperor is very kind to Uncle Guo, I believe it is not a small number, right?" ”

Wang Jixun nodded.

"But they haven't been built yet. Not to mention making money, if I go to Liangchuan for a long time. If there is a mistake, it is not only a national project. And ours, it's all physical, and few people understand it. When the time comes, you can't blame me, who asked His Majesty to let me go to Liangchuan on business? However, Uncle Guo's money and silk will continue to be lost, and maybe other yamen will resent Uncle Guo. Why bother. ”

"That's right."

The two talked for a while, and Wang Jixun left.

Yuping looked at Song Jiu suspiciously and said, "Jiulang, you seem to be afraid of this person?" ”

The fear that Yuping was referring to was different from the other fears, and Song Jiu was also afraid of Sanzhao. But these are two different kinds of fear.

"Yuping, King Yama is so good, the little ghost is difficult. You remember, this uncle had better stay away like a ghost. ”

"Why?" Yuping was puzzled, ordinary people still have a very good opinion of this uncle, his father Wang Rao is a generation of famous ministers, who loves the people like a son, and his sister Queen Wang is a virtuous queen, if it is not short-lived. It is almost comparable to the Emperor Changsun.

"You don't need to ask, look at the attitude of other Yanai towards him, and you will know the way." Song Jiu didn't say much, now Uncle Wang may start eating human flesh. Maybe it's not started yet. However, thinking of this, Song Jiu couldn't help but say again: "Throw away the teacup he used." ”

Yuping felt very strange, but Song Jiu didn't say anything about it, and it was inconvenient for her to ask.

Song Jiu's approach was very wise. If the front refuses, something will happen to the Xiongwu army in the back.

Still can't leave right away. There were too many things, and Song Jiu's mother-in-law invited Boss Hu and another big man in the river to the house. After leaving, let the two of them guard with the Guo family. There is too much money at home, and there is no competent person to guard it, and there will be real accidents.

Only then did he go to Kaifeng Mansion to see Zhao Kuangyi.

Zhao Kuangyi sat him down and said, "This line of work has to be hard again. ”

"Yes, the second king, I said that it is not hard for the second king, do you believe it?"

"You drink this tea."

Song Jiu took a sip, and Zhao Kuangyi said: "Good tea, bitter and sweet." ”

"Second king, let's use it leisurely, otherwise I will die in the bitterness in the future."

"Death lies in talent, if you have talent, you can only suffer for a lifetime without care, and if you don't have talent, you can only bring about your own destruction."

"Alas, the second king, I'm just an ordinary man, so what talent do I have."

"Okay, Hezhou will all be handed over to the state, as well as your official position, unload it together, I will be in charge, and I will not let you go to Liangchuan."

"Wechen should go to Liangchuan."

"The other day, I saw a donkey pulling a cart of goods, because the road was icy and there was some steepness when crossing the bridge, and the donkey was reluctant to go on the bridge. As a result, the coachman whipped the donkey hard, and after a few strokes, the donkey pulled the cart over the stone bridge by himself. It's not good, it's not good......"

The two officials looked at Song Jiu and couldn't help but be happy.

Song Jiu was speechless.

While he was talking, a small yellow door came in to deliver the message. The will is vaguely stated. The imperial court asked Wang Jixun to recruit thousands of heroic soldiers to prepare for the expedition to Bashu, but more than a thousand recruits did not have wives. Wang Jixun reflected this situation to Zhao Kuangyin.

It's not clear to outsiders what the two of them said, maybe Zhao Kuangyin is also afraid that these soldiers who don't have wives will behave even more, after all, having a home is equivalent to having a concern. Therefore, he said to Uncle Wang: "There must be many families in Bianliang City who marry daughters, and there is no need to prepare much dowry money for the soldiers to marry their wives, as long as they send some wine and meat." ”

That is, the marriage of the soldier is done from the thrift.

Wang Jixun had a misunderstanding, even the wine and meat were saved, and he directly sent the army to the street, in this era, the unmarried and married can be seen from the bun, and when they see the unmarried and beautiful woman, they directly asked the soldier to go up and hug him, carry it on his shoulder and carry it back to the barracks, which is the beautiful wife of the soldier.

In fact, Da Zhao was also mistaken, not only in some areas where the war was serious, there were many widow villages, but there were also many widows in the capital, and the imbalance between men and women was serious. It's a beautiful thing that this thing has been done. So Zhao Kuangyin said that it was enough to give some wine and meat. But it can't be handed over to Wang Jixun to do, but it is necessary to choose an old and virtuous official to deal with it.

Wang Jixun dared to play in the capital as Bashu, this robbery is not to grab one, it is necessary to rob more than a thousand, and to rob the beautiful unmarried woman, women in this era also go out, not like the Ming and Qing dynasties. Let him grab it, and the entire capital was robbed by Wang Jixun. Zhao Kuangyin was furious when he heard this, sent someone to investigate, and then asked Kaifeng Mansion and the forbidden army to join forces to enter the Xiongjun army to arrest him.
