Chapter Thirty-Five: Nowhere to Found
(At the beginning of the month, there are a few free monthly passes.) Thanks)
A small general flag was hired, not only did the Ulzhou Wei Qianhu lead hundreds of households to congratulate, but even the Fang Baihu of the Jinyi Wei Ulzhou Hundred Households also came to join in the fun, which was quite unusual.
The vast majority of people don't understand why Song Nan's fallen show will get such courtesy, so much so that some people even asked Wang Dan if he suddenly had such a general flag, is there any kinship with Wang Dan, in the eyes of everyone, if it is not for Wang Dan has a close relationship, it is unlikely that he will be the general flag in the first place, and it is even more impossible for the head and face characters to come to the door to congratulate, most of them still look at Wang Dan's face.
Wang Dan was on fire in his heart, and he wanted to beat and scold people to vent, but he couldn't be too out of shape, and only vaguely explained that there was a lack of literate and hyphenated officers in the army, and Xiucai Gong was willing to join the Ulzhou Wei Army, so he naturally had to give him an official position to show respect for Yunyun; Wang Dan knew very well in his heart, Jiang Bin said that this Song Nan was his distant cousin, Wang Dan secretly picked up Jiang Bin's ancestral eight generations of research, and there was no such cousin surnamed Song; On the contrary, the identity of this Song Nan was ascertained, this person was the servant son of Song De, a great merchant in Ulzhou, who had already been driven out of the Song Mansion and severed all relations.
Wang Dan never dreamed that he was planted in the hands of this Song Nan, and thought that Song Nan had played some tricks to trap Jiang Bin and Fang Datong, and how a poor and sour show could trap these two unruly people, but he couldn't figure this out.
Song Nan and Jiang Bin Fang Datong have formed a solid alliance, Jiang Bin needless to say, he can escape the catastrophe all depends on Song Nan's plan, although Jiang Bin also thought that this plan was too risky, and carried out it with the attitude of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and the result was a complete victory, Jiang Bin has no words to describe Song Nan except for gratitude and admiration.
And Fang Datong was originally forced to get on the thief ship, and in the end he obtained a lot of benefits, since this incident, Wang Dan no longer dares to ignore the existence of the hundred households of Ulzhou Jinyiwei, and he used to stay away from it, but now I am afraid that he has to consider Jinyiwei's feelings in everything, and he will never be as domineering as before; And the other party Datong personally made a lot of money, Wang Dan offered 30,000 taels of silver, Song Nan took out 10,000 taels to pay off all the debts for Fang Datong, and the remaining 20,000 taels Fang Datong still took the lion's head and got 10,000 taels alone; Song Nan and Jiang Bin each took 5,000 taels.
Fang Datong was very reluctant to go, and resolutely refused to accept it, Song Nan said: "Fang Baihu is a friend worth making, talking about money and hurting righteousness between friends, and they can afford to wait for us, so they will have the money in their hands, but first of all, they must fill the hole in the embezzled minister's money, so as not to be caught." ”
Just this last sentence made Fang Datong almost cry with gratitude, Song Nan did not continue to hold his handle, which shows Song Nan's sincerity, if this incident happened in Jinyiwei, it would be unimaginable, the reason why Song Nan gave him more silver taels was to help him wipe his buttocks, what is this not a brother? 30,000 taels of silver gave himself 20,000 without blinking his eyes, even his own brother couldn't be so chic.
The relationship is iron to such an extent, Fang Datong ran to congratulate Song Nan on joining the army regardless of his abrupt behavior, but he didn't know that Jinyiwei pursued an independent and self-authoritarian code of conduct, and he should not make friends with military and political personnel anywhere, Fang Datong didn't care about it, which shows the weight of Song Nan in his heart.
……
In a flash, Song Nan has been in the Ulzhou Guard for more than a month, and his top boss is Ma Baihu who was present when he congratulated him last time, Song Nan returned the gift twice according to the congratulatory silver sent by the hundreds of households that day, so that all the hundreds of households in the North felt that Song Nan was straightforward, most of the gifts were forced to do that day, and there was very little oil and water in the army, even if these hundred households were paid less than three taels of silver per month, and the expenses were large, Jiang Bin gave a death order that day and asked each person to send He Yi fifty taels, and almost didn't let these guys be pants; And Song Nan not only confiscated it, but gave back fifty taels, and the hundreds of households secretly praised Song Nan for being a man.
Song Nan actually took this opportunity to worship the mountain, if because Jiang Bin was the head of the North Thousand Households, he would not take these people in his eyes, it would be the behavior of a villain, if he wanted to mix well in the army, the relationship between these hundred households and the flag officers of the same level must be good, and Song Nan would have already known these experiences in later generations.
In addition to being respectful and polite on weekdays, Song Nan is not taking the opportunity to give some small favors, such as drinking wine, sending some tea and clothes, etc., subtle deeds are the most heartwarming, and the relationship between people sometimes does not have to be life and death to treat each other with all sincerity, and ordinary and subtle words and deeds are enough to make the relationship strong.
If it is said that when Song Nan first entered the barracks a month ago, everyone was still polite to him because of Jiang Bin's relationship, a month later, these people had already expressed their closeness to Song Nan from their hearts; When Song Nan walked around in the North Thousand Households, he could see people greeting him everywhere, and Song Nan also had a affectionate title called "Nan Ye" in the army.
"Master Nan, come and have a cup of tea."
"Nan Ye, the old lady asked me to say hello, I like the cloth you sent very much, Nan Ye is really polite, thank you."
"Master Nan, the family slaughtered a sheep today, how about a drink in the evening?"
“……”
All this has become Song Nan's daily ordinary scene, Song Nan took the five thousand taels of silver as ill-gotten gains, and spent them without mercy, but it is a pity that the silver of the Ming Dynasty is too valuable, and it can be made vigorously, so it can be spent less than two thousand taels.
In terms of military affairs, Song Nan was originally subordinate to Ma Baihu, the 300th household of the North Thousand Households, and should have been stationed in the Cattle Fort twenty miles north of the city.
Later, at the military affairs meeting, the hundreds of households received a lot of favors, and took the initiative to transfer Song Nan back to the city to garrison and patrol, Song Nan resigned, and the hundreds of households resolutely demanded, so Jiang Bin made the decision and transferred Song Nan back to the city to be responsible for the patrol of the eastern city; This small transfer is not only a thousand differences in circumstances, but also shows that Song Nan has successfully gained universal recognition among the North Thousand Households.
The New Year is approaching, the city of Ulju is gradually lively, whether rich or not, as the most solemn festival of the year, the people will save a little savings on weekdays without mercy to spend, the city is bustling every day.
Since Song Nan was transferred back to the city, he came to Fanggu's shop several times, but unfortunately he always ate behind closed doors, once or twice before Fanggu was still there, but he was indifferent to Song Nan, and excused himself that he would not receive Song Nan due to lack of wine and food, and over time, Song Nan also understood that he didn't know when he became an undesirable person in Fanggu's shop, and he no longer went to ask for fun; Recently, when Song Nan couldn't help but go to Fanggu's shop again, she found that the small hotel was empty, and asked the neighbors and diners nearby, but said that the proprietress and her cousin had closed the shop, and they didn't even know where they were.
Song Nan was a little empty when he was stunned, although he was only a simple acquaintance with Fang Gu and others, and he didn't have too deep friendships, but he always felt a little weird, and he didn't figure out where his words and deeds made Fang Gu dislike, and he really had some small regrets.
This New Year's is lively, the Song family moved to the big house on North Street, a year ago because Uncle Zhong was old and gradually inconvenient, Song's mother hired two people to come back to help, Li Daniu learned that Mao recommended himself, and took his sister into the Song family to help.
Song Nan was reluctant to do this, after all, when Li Da Niu was like a brother, the helper would be suspected of being called like a servant, Li Da Niu didn't mind, Song Nan himself couldn't help it, but then the Li family's aunt personally came to the door to ask Song Mu, and said to Song Mu: "Our big cow is more than half the size of a person, and there is no livelihood, unlike your brother Nan who is still a year younger and has already become a military master, no matter what, let Brother Nan take him to teach him......" After chattering for a long time, Song's mother couldn't stand it, so she told Song Nan this.
Song Nan thought about what he said to Da Niu that day to take him to enjoy all the glory and wealth, and he couldn't let Li Da Niu be idle all day long, so he nodded and agreed, so Li Da Niu happily brought the little sister of the Li family into the Song family to help, and Uncle Zhong was promoted to housekeeper.
Uncle Zhong actually became a housekeeper when he was old, he couldn't close his mouth with a smile, as if he was ten years younger, and the wrinkles on his face turned into chrysanthemum petals all day long, but he didn't know that this housekeeper was just a good name, in the end, the Song family was still a small family, and it was even more different from the real big family.
Jiang Bin deliberately gave Song Nan a few days of vacation, and Song Nan didn't want others to gossip, so he returned to the barracks on the second day of the Lunar New Year to handle military affairs normally.
On the night of the third day of the Lunar New Year, it was Song Nan's turn to lead people to patrol the night, Song Nan patrolled in the second half of the night, and the third watch day took over until dawn, just around the fourth watch, an unexpected thing happened.
