Chapter 159 Farewell to Kaifeng

Chapter 159 Farewell to Kaifeng
Although the capital is about to be moved, Kaifeng, Tokyo is still the most prosperous city in the world.After Xin Wenyu, the commander of the imperial class, came off duty, he greeted his superior Yang Yizhong and then rode back to his residence in Tokyo, Tianshui Lane.

Along the way, Zhouqiao is prosperous and the six canals are accessible. At this time of year, there are three hundred miles of Yushu and Qionglin, and Qihuayao grass blooms in spring.

To be honest, Xin Wenyu was not in a good mood as he arrived at home. If it weren't for the tight money, he would not have rented a house in Tianshui Lane - this place had become a place where noble family members raised their wives.The size and layout of the house are good, but for his wife and children, Xin Wenyu feels that the environment here is very bad. Fortunately, he won't be able to stay long.

So when he arrived at the door of his house and saw his three-year-old son competing for candy with the neighbor's children, he became angry and shouted: "Xin Qiji, what are you doing!"

Xin Qiji, the future general of the Song Dynasty who was also the first frontier poet, the general who captured the flag among the thousands of troops, was frightened by his father.I watched helplessly as the candy man I got was snatched away by my friends again, and I stood at the door without daring to move.

Thanks to Mrs. Sun who heard the sound, she quickly came out to greet her husband and picked up her son, regardless of the fact that she was still wearing an apron.

Commander Xin would never get angry in front of his wife, so he tied up the horse after chatting.Entered the main house.Seeing that the little child was still a little scared and huddled aside, I couldn't help but feel sad.Over the years, I traveled around with the official family, and I did get a position, but I spent too little time with my children.His anger suddenly disappeared, and he called him to come to him and said politely: "Didn't daddy say that? The children in the Li family are not good and you are not allowed to play with them. Why don't you listen?"

Poor Xiao Xin then held back her mouth, her face turned red, and she said aggrievedly: "I didn't go play with them. They saw that my mother bought me candy and people came to snatch it from me." Seeing that her father was a little unhappy, Sorry, the child who has been smart since he was a child said: "Dad, when I was in my hometown in Zhangqiu, Weng Weng always told me to play with my neighbor's brother more, and he was called a good neighbor. Why don't you ask me to play with my neighbor, 豼Who is right with Weng Weng?"

Xin Wenyu suddenly felt that he understood Zhao Guan's mood of cutting off the cane. What a good boy, you are only a few years old and you already know how to use me to suppress your father. He was about to reason with him when he saw Mr. Sun coming out with fried meatballs. , the aroma was overflowing, Xin Qiji immediately went to his mother-in-law, Sun smiled softly and said: "Da Lang, your father has worked hard, tell him to eat first, and you drink some sweet water first."

She is not a particularly bright woman, but she has a special kind of gentleness and softness.Unlike people from Qilu, he looks like he came from a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.Anyway, Xin Wenyu got extremely angry outside, whenever he saw his wife.Eighty to ninety percent of it can be dissipated in an instant. He said: "I have told you a long time ago that you have to hire a cook to come back and cook, but you have to work yourself so hard. It's not like I can't support you two now. If it weren't for the fact that I'm about to Let's go. I don't want to live in this shabby place anymore. Zhai Laojiu also said that he was going to Danguifang to buy a small house." That's right, even though the two of them were so anxious that they both left the first Military Games that year. It's a killer move, but these troops don't know each other without fighting. If you don't handle the relationship with your colleagues well, how can you dare to hand over your back to the other party in the future?Therefore, these two people are more congenial than others these days.

Sun asked strangely, "Didn't the official say that he would soon move the capital with the official family? This uncle of the Zhai family is also a capable imperial official. Why did he buy a house in Tokyo at this time?"

Xin Wenyu sighed and said, "This is what I'm telling you. Every family has its own difficulties. Don't look at Zhai Biao. He is a fifth-grade Chaosan doctor and ranks first among the imperial commanders. I just think that he only thinks of Dong." The Huamen roll call, wearing red and purple, and being the magistrate of the state is the honor of the ancestors, forcing his nephews to study hard day and night. Zhai Biao was entangled by them and had no choice. He thought that after the capital was moved, the Imperial Academy in Tokyo would be retained, so he coaxed him Dad said it was easier to become a Jinshi here. He settled his nephews and sons here, and he slowly worked out a way out for them. Otherwise, they might not have been forced to do anything in his hometown in Xiping!"

Sun was curious, "Now the imperial court also holds martial arts examinations. Wu Jinshi is also a Jinshi. I heard that he can also be awarded officials. Doesn't the old man of the Zhai family know?"

"Madam, the martial arts examination also requires a test on policy theory, but Zhai Laojiu just finished studying "The Thousand Character Essay" two years ago and has not memorized even half of "Hundred Family Surnames". What do you think of his nephews?" Xin Wenyu told the truth.

Sun's mouth twitched, and she politely did not delve into the topic further, but said: "Dangui Fang is very good. At the beginning of the country, Dou Yanshan's family was named after five Jinshi in the imperial examination. Every inch of land there has always been very valuable. , but now that the capital is about to be moved, there are quite a few families moving, so it should be much cheaper."

Xin Wenyu nodded and said: "That's natural. There are hundreds of officials in the Central Secret Pavilion alone. Many of them are not rich but want to follow them north. Naturally, they want to pawn off their business, and not everyone is Mr. Zhang. Those who are rich in Shangshu Lin’s family will naturally have to take care of things. Alas, it’s a good thing that we don’t have much family property here.”

Mrs. Sun then said: "Speaking of which, sir, how good are the things sent by Lin Shangshu's family? Those cloths and spices don't look very eye-catching. I went out to inquire about it and found out that they are worth half a house. I should have known it earlier." How can we ask for it! But we don’t have money to return the gift." After hearing this, Xin Wenyu twitched the corner of his mouth. Out of professional ethics, he did not tell his wife everything, but just said: "You are overthinking it. Lin Shangshu's family has been a big family in Fujian since the Renzong Dynasty. He gave these away for a reason, just keep them—just don’t tell anyone else."

Of course, it cannot be said that although Xin Wenyu is a member of the official family, he is really not as high as Lin Shangshu, who has served as a long-term official for 16 years and is recognized as a heavenly official soon.The reason for this intersection must be thanks to the third prince Zhao Dan who is currently rolling around and about to go out.

Wasps came like a tide that day, and Xin Wenyu and others naturally focused on protecting Zhao Guanjia, but then Guanjia fell down, and Yang Yizhong led the people closer to block Guanjia with his body. Lin Jingmo happened to fall next to Xin Wenyu at that time, with his nose Unfortunately, he was stung by a bee. He was so painful that he wanted to slap the bee to death and take it away. Xin Wenyu instinctively shouted: "Shang Shu, please don't take this bee away. Don't move, otherwise all these wasps will come at you." ”

Lin Jingmo was stunned to hear what this unfamiliar officer said. Xin Wenyu also became anxious for a moment: "Bees are afraid of the color red. Anyone who wears a red sweat towel should quickly cover their face."

This is his standard rule of thumb.Without him, Commander Xin was also a brat when he was a child, and he did a lot of things like digging out bird eggs and destroying beehives. After learning countless lessons, he also gained some experience in protection.

He had good intentions and wanted the pillars of the country to suffer less. However, in the chaos at that time, few people could believe him. Only Lin Shangshu, who had a quick brain in analysis, listened to his words, so he was the least injured among the six ministers. Later, When I got home and asked, I was given the most correct advice, so of course I have to thank you.

But this kind of matter, which concerns the face of the imperial court officials, is so easy to publicize. Even to your wife, it is best not to talk too much, otherwise you will mention the great achievements of the third prince again.

Thinking about the kindness of the official family, I might as well forget it.

It is said that he often works overtime recently, thanks to this dragon. The frightened Prince Yang and Prince Liu teamed up with Feng Yi, the chief regent of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, to conduct a comprehensive and blind investigation of all safety hazards in Tokyo. It was really even a mouse. All holes have to be destroyed, let alone a big killer like a honeycomb. I wish I could destroy them all within a hundred miles.

So he looked at his son with a dangerous look and said, "If you have nothing to do, just stay at home and listen to your mother telling the story of Meng's mother's three moves. If I come back next time and I test you and you can't answer, you won't be allowed to follow after the Dragon Boat Festival." Let’s go out and worship God.”

Our Xin Caizi has been different since he was a child. Children in other families are only afraid that they cannot go out. He asked: "Dad, doesn't our family not worship God or Buddha?"

"This time it's different. I'm going to Yuetai to worship me, Song Zhongliang, as my glorious hero."

Decades later, Xin Qiji returned from the northwest and returned to the old capital that was no longer prosperous. He didn't have to go to anything, but he would definitely go to Yuetai Temple to worship after bathing and changing clothes - even though the gods here were all The soldiers or loyal citizens who died before he was born, and the shrines of his comrades are all in the Lanzhou Temple. Although his parents who brought him here since he was a child have died in his hometown of Jinan, Xin Qiji still remembers the sensational scene when he was three years old. ——When the emperor paid homage to himself, among the Buddhist scriptures and Taoist scriptures, the wealthy and leisurely Tokyoites in the past cried so uncontrollably that he wanted to ask at that time, why?
When we found out, it was a long time later and thousands of miles away.

 Three-year-old Xiao Xin appeared, but unfortunately Zhao Guan’s family didn’t know about him yet.
