Tokyo City on Chinese New Year's Eve is one of the liveliest places in the world.

Song Jiang walked lonely on the streets of this bustling city, but his heart was full of confusion.

It is said that he should be happy, and there is a saying that "the man's life has been rewarded". From a young official in Yuncheng who never came out, to a water dyed in the green forest, and finally in exchange for this vermilion official uniform, he finally fulfilled his long-cherished wish to glorify his ancestors.

He also thought he should be happy. But he suddenly found that when he got what he dreamed of, he was not ecstatic as he imagined, but there was more indescribable loneliness.

During the Spring Festival, the family was reunited, and Song Jiang had nowhere to go. The younger brother Song Qing was his substitute ghost in Erlong Mountain, and the old father didn't last long before he died, and he never had the opportunity to see the beautiful paintings that his son promised all day and night come true.

Now in this world, there is no longer a relative, and only he Song Jiang is left to live alone. Stubbornly alive.

Although there are brothers, alas, brothers...... Song Jiang shook his head and smiled bitterly, the brother who couldn't stop complaining as soon as they met was the main reason why he Song Jiang had no intention of living a stable year in the barracks. As soon as these people meet each other, they inevitably complain about how unfair the court is. It is said that why did he endure humiliation and bear the burden in exchange for great merit, but in the end, he only heard the sound of the stairs and did not see anyone coming down. At this time, Song Jiang was the only one in the whole army, and he was appointed as a loose official from the Wupin Ranger General (almost the same as the deputy department-level non-leadership position in later generations), but he didn't even have an actual dispatch, and when he went to the Privy Council to ask those adults, he actually said in an official tone one by one, and said that he was going to celebrate the New Year now, and everything would be discussed after the year.

Well, just wait, as long as the court is fair. The late moon will be the late month! The hateful court is not what they say it is at all. Wang Qing, who has only been here a few days earlier, is now a dignified and upright court, and he will go out of Huazhou in the next year and enter the matter.

O civil servant! It's still a fucking civil official!

It's angry when I think about it, a little ruffian who was messing around on the streets of Kaifeng Mansion back then, and everyone else couldn't say it coherently, but he became the governor of a state in a blink of an eye!? Why, because he is a giant with the same name as Wang Lun and Tian Hu? Or did he rely on a woman to fall on the high branches of Tong Guan? But the brothers don't have a bad relationship, don't they all say that Brother Gongming is a person on the line of Cai Jing and Cai Xianggong!?

The firecrackers that rise to the sky from time to time release brilliant fireworks, decorating this New Year with warmth and splendor. Song Jiang's vision suddenly blurred. There was a bitter and unfamiliar liquid in the eye sockets. With mixed feelings, he turned into a time-honored antique calligraphy and painting shop that was still closed, and pretended to pick up calligraphy and paintings.

The Chinese New Year is a good time to contact feelings in officialdom. Most of the people who came out to buy calligraphy and paintings in the thirties of the Chinese New Year's Eve were officials who came to Beijing from other places to make offerings, and the guys in the shop saw Song Jiang dressed in vermilion official clothes, and they were afraid that they were small bureaucrats who came up to drill the camp below, and they were smiling and selling their own goods diligently.

Song Jiang had no intention of selecting carefully, and he really couldn't be careful with his methods. Compared with the gold and silver on his body, he hastily bought an expensive ancient painting, handed over the gold, packed it and left.

People have things on their minds. The steps are urgent, and the journey is short. I saw Song Jiang come to a low-key and luxurious mansion at this time and asked passers-by. After confirming that it was the benefactor's residence in Tokyo, he stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door, and it didn't take long. A doorman with a mouth full of oil came out, saw the official uniform on Song Jiang's body, and recognized it as the clothing of a fourth- or fifth-grade official, and immediately squinted his eyes and said, "Where is there such a time to give gifts?" Which yamen are you from? How can I not have any eyesight at all! I didn't run out of dinner for my family's reunion! ”

As the saying goes, the prime minister's doorman is a "grade" mile higher than himself! Song Jiang didn't dare to make a mistake, and said cautiously: "Xiao Ke is Song Jiang of Yuncheng, who is now leading the ranger general, and he is drawn by grace, and he is specially thanked for his gratitude." The villain also knows that Enxiang is busy, so he just wants to meet and express his gratitude in person! ”

"Ranger General?" Menzi sneered in his heart, a military attache who was idle also came to pretend to be a big head? At the moment, he said: "My family has to go to the lady's house to pay New Year's greetings after eating, so you can leave the things!" ”

Song Jiang sighed secretly when he saw it, he couldn't even see the main owner when he gave gifts, how could this be a problem? This disciple doesn't know if he remembers his own name. Thinking that the benefactor is in a high position, and he is the son-in-law of Cai Jing, the powerful minister of the court, there are countless people who have stammered, and naturally he has received a lot of gifts, how to be confused by this guy?

Song Jiang is a person who will come to things, he stretched out his hand and touched his body, and he wanted to sacrifice the silver bullet offensive that he was good at. Menzi has obviously seen the world, and he has been urging people to leave just now, but he didn't speak at this time, just smiled and waited. At this time, Song Jiang was dumbfounded, it turned out that he only cared about picking the most expensive one when he bought a painting just now, and there was not much money left on his body, and he only found ten taels of silver when he touched it, and he had no choice but to hand it to Menzi with a noisy face, and the door was sharp-eyed, and when he saw this ingot of silver, his face suddenly returned to his previous disdain, and his heart was so big, the master should still be gold! This Song Jiang heard that it was the thief head raised by the Xianggong from the green forest, what kind of righteousness and squandering money, ahhh, treating the old man as those called flowers on the rivers and lakes to send away?

Song Jiang is a person who is wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, but he was only assigned to Jiangzhou at the beginning, and the people of Jiangzhou did not offend him, so there was a wild saying of "blood stained Xunyang River Estuary". At this time, Menzi's contempt, how not to make him crazy in his heart. But he is a person who can calm down, and he didn't explain at the moment, but he just arched his hand without missing courtesy, and then left. Menzi didn't bother to stay for a moment, and his voice was gloomy, so he closed the door and went in.

At this time, a little snowflake fell in the sky, adding a bit of poetry to this warm Chinese New Year's Eve, but the lonely back of Song Jiang in the night seemed incompatible with this environment.

"General Song, General Song! Wait, wait! ”

Song Jiang, who had already walked to the corner of the street, heard someone shouting behind him, and when he looked back, it was the doorman just now, Song Jiang was surprised, stopped to see what he was doing, only to see that the doorman caught up, and said with an embarrassed face: "General Song, my family is invited!" ”

Song Jiang felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and the desolate mood that was cold and disheartened just now was suddenly thrown away, it seems that the next person is the next person, and Liang Zhongshu still has his own in his heart! At the moment, he didn't hold it anymore, and he urged Menzi to go back, Menzi chattered along the way, obviously selling well, Song Jiang knew that he was just trying to make a profit, and he was not reluctant to benefit, but there was only some broken silver left on his body, and it would be embarrassing to take it out, so he had to promise: "Song Jiang went out too hurriedly today, it was really rude, and he made a special trip to ask Brother Menzi to meet Xianlou another day!" ”

Menzi didn't know if it was true or not, but he didn't dare to underestimate Song Jiang anymore, after all, he had just been scolded by his master, and at this time he was much more tolerant than just now, and said straightly: "Then it's bothering!" ”

Song Jiang saw that this person could be handed over, naturally flattered all the way, the door led Song Jiang to the study of the house, and then retreated, at this time Liang Zhongshu was holding the ancient paintings sent by Song Jiang to appreciate, as if waiting for Song Jiang, Song Jiang was overjoyed when he saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward to give Liang Zhongshu a big gift, Liang Zhongshu smiled and accepted his salute, and then said: "The old year adds silk, and the new year eliminates the dark snow." General Song, you have been wronged! ”

Song Jiang is a half-scoop of water in the end, and he knows the meaning of Liang Zhongshu's deliberately reversed poem, and he said again and again: "Song Jiang only knows how to serve the country, but he doesn't know personal gains and losses." Everything is cultivated by the will and grace of the imperial court! ”

Liang Zhongshu laughed, but changed the topic and said: "The subordinate is ignorant, he has neglected General Song, I have already punished him, General Song don't take it to heart!" Liang Zhongshu is not as aggressive as Cai Jing's eldest son, and when he chats about the sky, he gives people a feeling of spring breeze.

Song Jiang was immediately flattered, to be honest, he and Liang Zhongshu had only met three or four times, and Cai Jing was even more Shenlong, and there was only one time in total, or on a small-scale occasion when he was facing the saint, so Song Jiang carried a pig's head and didn't dare to worship the temple gate, so he had to come to Liang Zhongshu here to throw stones and ask for directions.

Now that he has received the favor of the benefactor, at this time, the inferiority complex of the little official in Song Jiang's heart has dissipated a lot, and he said a bunch of polite words at the moment, and finally asked cautiously on the words mentioned by Liang Zhongshu himself: "The villain serves the court, all with a pure heart, and he definitely does not dare to care about the official position." But Enxiang, the generals who returned to the court with the villain, the villain wanted to let them experience the grace of the court, I don't know ......"

When Liang Zhongshu heard this, the ease on his face disappeared, he took a sip of the teacup in front of him, and said, "General Song, don't hide it!" For the sake of you doing a good job, the official and the Privy Council also blushed. However, although it is difficult, you have finally settled your affairs first. You just wait for you to take office with peace of mind, even if you don't actually grant a state governor at the beginning of the year, you can't have the ministry of a regimental training envoy! ”

Liang Zhongshu's tone was like a city grace, which cruelly made Song Jiang see clearly his actual weight in the other party's heart, and it seemed that the adults felt that they were at this price. But Song Jiang is good, he is a person who sees through and does not say anything, and there is room for everything. And to be honest, he doesn't care too much about the size of his official position, after all, he has suffered a lot, whether he was a junior official or betrayed his eldest brother, it is really not easy to survive today's results.

But the key is that the group of people who followed him have already grown their appetite under Tian Hu, and the palace marshals and squires came casually, and now that they have come to the end, they are only a single capital prisoner, that is, the level of Huang Xin in Qingzhou back then, even Qin Ming's gang can't catch up, how can this group of people under him come out!? And by what means to continue to envelop them? Let them continue to be his motivation in the officialdom!

Is it about feelings?

Now the people who can talk about feelings in this world are all fucking coaxed away by Wang Lun.

Just when Song Jiang was miserable, he suddenly heard Liang Zhongshu point out a key point: "Did General Song disobey the official family in the past?" (To be continued.) )
