(Today's fourth watch, this is the third watch, thanks to the collection and tickets of new and old book friends.) ）

The oil lamp in Song Nan's east wing was lit overnight, Xiaoping woke up in the middle of the night to relieve herself, a little curious, peeking through the crack in the door to see what the young master was doing, but saw Song Nan take out a large pile of ancient books and pile them on the table, rummaging through them and picking them up and sweating profusely.

Xiaoping doesn't know why, the young master seems to want to study hard, but far from quenching his thirst, even if he can clearly pass the imperial examination, how will the current difficulties be overcome? Song Nan's words during the day that he would go to get money early in the morning to solve livelihood problems were just childish jokes in the eyes of Song's mother and Xiaoping, and what way could the young master get money?

When the two walked out of the hall, they were startled by the scene in the courtyard, only to see Song Nan wearing pajamas on the big stone mill in the middle of the courtyard, his body twisted into various strange postures, and he made strange sounds from his mouth when he exhaled and inhaled, as if he had been evil.

Song's mother was startled, her son seemed to have fallen into an evil spirit, and the ghost gate turned around, don't be possessed by dirty things?

Song Nan opened his eyes and sighed, and ended the morning yoga exercise that he cultivated in later generations, this body was a little disobedient, and the ligament muscles were not as tactful and free as the body of later generations, and he could only do some of the most basic postures and breathing.

"My son, what's wrong with you? What do you do in the courtyard early in the morning? Don't scare your mother. Mother Song stepped forward nervously and took out a handkerchief to wipe Song Nan's sweat.

Song Nan smiled: "I'm fine, I'm exercising, my body is too weak, I'm always sick, exercising can make me less sick, you don't have to worry." ”

Mother Song sighed, patted her chest and said, "I see, I was an evil child, your posture just now was very strange, my mother has never seen it." ”

Song Nan was speechless, and couldn't explain what yoga was, and said with a smile: "I'll talk about it later, I'm hungry, I smell the aroma of millet porridge, I feel good appetite today, I want to drink three big bowls, and then I'll go get the money." ”

Song Muhu was suspicious: "Where is my son going to get money?" You are not allowed to be a traitor to get some ill-gotten gains, although our family is poor, we don't do those despicable things. ”

Song Nan said: "Don't worry, I'm just taking back the money that belongs to me, and I will never be a traitor, besides, as far as I am weak, can I steal or rob?" ”

Song's mother didn't know what Song Nan meant by taking back the money that belonged to him, but after listening to Song Nan's words, she didn't believe that her son could get any money back, but as long as her son was happy, it was okay to go for a walk, and with the big cow next door to accompany her, nothing would happen.

After breakfast, Li Da Niu next door had already called the door outside the courtyard, and Song Nan greeted Da Niu yesterday evening, asking him to accompany him to do something early this morning, not that Song Nan didn't dare to do things alone, he was really completely unfamiliar with Ulzhou City, and he couldn't distinguish between the southeast and northwest, and he needed Da Niu as a guide.

Ulzhou City is not very big, the main street is only four across the north and south, the rest are small streets and alleys, the most prosperous is a big street running through the north and south, the layout of the city is also a little strange, the general city is four city gates and Ulzhou only has three city gates in the southeast and west, the northernmost is the Jade Emperor Temple, Sanyuan Palace and other temples and Taoist temples, the state capital Yamen is also there, the reason for this layout is also to facilitate the defense of the remnants of the Meng Yuan, after all, although the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Yuan, but most of the north nominally submitted to the Ming Dynasty, In fact, it was the Mongols who actually controlled it, and it was not uncommon for the rangers to harass the border.

The two went out of the alley to the east, crossed a small stone bridge, and walked a few hundred paces before turning onto a street; As the sun rises, the crowds on the streets gradually bustle, and the noise of hawking fills the ear drums; From time to time, a small group of soldiers passed by with their heads held high, or there were officials in the sedan chair sounding gongs and shouting, and there were even knights in fresh clothes and angry horses, wearing high crowns and red and yellow armor shirts, galloping majestically past, frightening passers-by to dodge with rolling and crawling.

Song Nan really saw the ancient street scene for the first time, he was a little daze, a few fast horses galloped over, if it wasn't for the big bull's eye and quickly pulled him, he was almost knocked off by the horse, the knight on the horse didn't mean to slow down at all, but threw down a fierce curse and galloped away.

Da Niu looked at the back of the cavalry in the distance and spat and scolded: "Phew, a group of dogs fighting people." ”

Song Nan frowned and said, "Who are these people?" How can you be so arrogant. ”

Da Niu looked left and right and said softly: "You don't go out all day long, so naturally you don't know how to talk to them, do you see the knife on their waist?" That's the embroidered spring knife, this time you know who they are. ”

Song Nan frowned and said, "Embroidered spring knife? ”

Da Niu said: "Yes, there is only one kind of person in my Ming Dynasty who is qualified to wear this kind of knife, that is Jinyiwei, it is said to be made of stainless steel, the blade is as thin as a wing, and it is extremely sharp, it can be cut and stabbed, hehe, one day I can also have a handle." Da Niu licked his lips and his eyes were full of envy.

Song Nan's heart is in a daze, embroidered spring knife, flying fish suit, Jinyiwei, these terms are not unfamiliar in later generations, in Song Nan's impression, the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei are some ruthless spies, murderous demons, I didn't expect to be able to see Jinyiwei on the streets of Ulzhou today, sure enough, it is not a lie that the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty is all over the world, and there are Jinyiwei in this small Ulzhou city.

Song Nan summed up in his heart, but he laughed in his mouth: "What are you going to do, do you want to go up the mountain to chop wood?" ”

The big cow touched his head and laughed, he just thought about it, how can the embroidered spring knife be easily obtained, the legend is that each person in the brocade guard has a knife, the knife has a number, the knife is in the person, the knife is dead; Even if someone gives one to themselves, they don't dare to take it, it will cause a catastrophe, and I don't have the guts.

"Brother Nan, where are we going? Didn't you say you had something to do? Da Niu came back to his senses and asked.

"Where is the Song Mansion? I'm going to get back what belongs to me. Song Nan said.

"Song Mansion, you mean, your original home?" Da Niu said with wide eyes.

"Yes, it's my original home, there is property that belongs to me, and I want it all back, so that my mother doesn't have to worry about her livelihood."

"You're crazy, how can they give it to you? That Old Lady Yan is notoriously pungent and vicious, I heard my mother say that if it wasn't for this thief shrew to interfere back then, you and Aunt Song would not have fallen into such a situation......"

Song Nan sneered: "That's because I was young at the time, and I had no way to reason with them, but now I'm not afraid of them, it should be mine, I want to come back with a lot, but I can't help her play tricks." ”

Li Daniu looked at Song Nan with some surprise, as if he knew Song Nan on the first day, it was the first time he had seen Song Nan speak in this tone, Song Nan used to be unclear in his words, he had played with him for five years, and sometimes he treated Song Nan as a little sister, but he had never seen Song Nan like this today.

"Don't worry, I haven't been out for a long time, I don't know the way, you just show me the way, and when you get to the Song Mansion, you can leave." Song Nan saw Li Daniu's stunned expression, and thought that Li Daniu was scared, so he comforted.

Li Da Niu blushed and said, "Brother Nan, do you underestimate me Li Da Niu?" Is Li Da Niu a person who is afraid of things? When was you bullied and the bull didn't come forward for you? I just regret not bringing the firewood knife, if you had told me earlier, I would have pinned the firewood knife to my waist; Let's just find someone who can do it. ”

Li Da Niu turned his head to look around, there were no sticks or anything like anything on the street, there was a lot of cow shit and horse manure, and after looking for a long time, he found a green brick behind the beggar's butt on the street corner, and hurriedly jumped over and grabbed it in his hand, which immediately attracted the beggar's eyes.

Song Nan smiled dumbly, Li Daniu was a lover, it turned out that he was wrong to blame him, so he hurriedly broke off the green brick in his hand and threw it on the ground and said, "We're not going to fight, what are we doing with this thing?" “

Li Daniu said: "I'm afraid it won't work if you don't fight, but there are many families in the Song Mansion, and if you don't do it, you will suffer." ”

Song Nan smiled and said: "I have my own way, you just listen to me, let's go to do things quickly, and come back in the evening so that my mother can make leek and mutton dumplings for us to eat." ”

Song Nan walked forward, and Li Daniu followed behind in confusion, I don't know how Brother Nan, who is weak and can't help the wind, got so confident today.
