Song Beiyun

King Fu raised his whip, but he couldn't laugh or cry when he was called father, he clutched his chest and panted heavily: "You are going to piss me off!"

Song Beiyun didn't dare to be vague, he quickly made tea and cakes for King Fu, and then massaged his shoulders.

"What about the bloodiness of my Da Song man!" Fu Wang took a sip of tea: "Are you trying to make the whole world laugh at my Da Song man for being cowardly like a mouse? If you tell people that I taught you , where is my old face, Zhao Defang?"

"My lord... Look, I actually won this." Xiao Song scratched his head and said, "My lord, this is a melee between warlords, not fighting alone. His Buddhist slaves can't be Qin Shihuang, and neither can we." Then the country of Yan and Zhao. If this is a real battlefield, she will be eaten."

"How dare you argue!" King Fu stared, "How did I teach you?"

"But……"

Xiao Song didn't know the reason for a long time. In fact, it's not impossible for him to have a better record, and even be the first. He knew it in his heart, but he still chose to live on.

Fu Wang was angry because he was angry here. He was too inactive in this battle and gave the enemy too many opportunities and loopholes. Even if it weren't for the sand table, they might have been trapped to death in Xiangyang City by now.

This kind of wasting opportunities for nothing makes the older generation of military strategists feel uncomfortable, he has a bottom line in his heart.

"father……"

At this time, Jin Ling'er came in, and called out sweetly "Daddy" with her big belly, and King Fu's brows immediately relaxed.

"What are you doing here? Why don't you rest in the house." Fu Wang looked at Jin Ling'er: "It's almost seven months old. You two, one is about to become a father and the other is about to become a mother, but Still so childish! If one day I go, what will you do?"

Looking at the white hair on King Fu's sideburns and the nagging, Xiao Song smiled and walked over to hold Jin Ling'er's hand and said, "My lord, she's going to get bored in the room all day, let her move around." Let's move."

"That's right." Jin Ling'er also pouted and said, "My concubine even let me move around."

"Your mother and concubine are the ones who don't let me worry, and now you are more!"

"Okay, speak ill of me behind your back." At this time, Princess Fu came in from the outside, holding a small tiger-head jacket worn by a child in her hand: "Old man, you have learned to scold me in front of children, haven't you? "

Xiao Song almost laughed out loud, and quickly turned his head away, but King Fu glanced at him, and then said sharply, "Follow me!"

Just as Wangfei was about to speak, King Fu raised his hand: "After I teach this kid a lesson, Wangfei will talk about other things."

After finishing speaking, he carried Song Beiyun away majestically, and as soon as he reached the backyard, he immediately let out a sigh of relief, looked around, and sat in the small pavilion: "I will spare you this time, If there is a next time, I will definitely tear you apart!"

"understood……"

King Fu sighed: "Go, bring me some tea."

"You are quite afraid of the princess..."

"Just go if you are told, what are you talking about!"

"Okay, I'll go, I'll go..."

After drinking some tea, King Fu looked up at Song Beiyun, and Xiao Song, who had just sat down, got up quickly.

"How will you deal with it next time?"

"It's a small idea." Song Beiyun raised his fingers and said, "I am not only good at both civil and military skills, I am also proficient in eating, drinking and playing. Tell me what you can compare with, martial arts boxing, poetry recitation, mahjong dice, poker rings, wine tasting theory Tea, business and official career, which one I don’t know?”

"Arrogance!" King Fu snorted, "Restraint me a bit, don't underestimate the heroes of the world, the prince of the Liao Kingdom should not be underestimated."

"Just her?" Song Beiyun's eyes slanted, "I'm not even worthy of carrying my shoes."

"You little bastard! Are you so rampant?"

"My lord, it's not that I'm crazy. That guy has never taken advantage of me. If she wins me once, I'll eat three big bowls of soup cakes upside down." Song Beiyun said boldly: "I know that girl too well." People, if you want to say whether she has talent, then she must have it, but this girl has one biggest problem, or even a flaw, that is, she is too competitive and shows her sharpness. You also know that although this sharpness Lee, but it is easy to break and break, no matter how strong the ability is, everything will be over if the mentality explodes."

"Don't be stubborn, do you know who is behind the eldest prince of the Liao Kingdom?"

"The King of the South Court of Liao Kingdom, her mentor." Xiao Song was disdainful again: "Is this a coincidence, the King of the South Court has never defeated you in his life, so his apprentice can win your apprentice?"

Who doesn't like compliments, Fu Wang chuckled: "That's true, but you must not take it lightly, if you lose this time, it will be a big trouble."

"It's okay, don't worry." Xiao Song waved his fingers: "Just look at it, everything is under control."

Chapter 424: On October 10th of the second year, the sunny heart rises to the bright moon, why bother to enter the arms

While everyone was paying attention to this princess competition, a theater had opened in every major city in the Song and Liao Dynasties.

There is no fanfare and no erotic gambling business, but it is said to be an extension of Goulan, and some small dramas will be staged every day to entertain everyone.

It is said that the headquarters of this theater is in Jinling City, and the plays that come up are quite interesting, such as the fox demon opera scholar, the monk fighting the white snake, the three heroes fighting Lu Bu, and the monkey making trouble in the heavenly palace.

These plays were so interesting that the theater was overcrowded on the first day it opened, making it hard to get a ticket.And sharp-eyed people will find that the people who work in these theaters are all prostitutes who redeemed themselves from the brothels and painting boats, but now these prostitutes are no longer prostitutes. They perform their duties in the theater, some of them are Those in charge of ticket sales and cleaning, some are responsible for serving tea and water, and some are actors on stage.

Although they are still some low-level jobs, but they are no longer contemptuous women, if they flirt with others indiscriminately, they will be sued.

And the big plays in these theaters are staged at night, but people like the atmosphere here, and many people come to listen to a little song, chat, and listen to gossip during the day.

What they talk about the most these days is the selection of sons-in-law in the Song and Liao countries. If they were in the Liao country, they would still hear some craftsmen complaining that they can't live on now, and they are all planning to change careers. What else can they say? No matter how much you toss, the things you get are not as good as the Song country products sold on the street, and they sell them so cheaply, the cost price on your side is higher than that on the other side, and if you continue to sell them, you will lose as much as you do.

"It's better to go back to raise cattle and sheep, and plant fields." A Liao craftsman sat in the opera garden and sighed: "This workshop can't continue."

"Then go back and raise cattle and sheep. My old man has already made up his mind, and he will start hoarding fodder next month." Another person leaned into the ear of the craftsman and said, "There is a rumor that the pigs, cattle and sheep will make a fortune next year, so hurry up." Bar."

"really?"

"Then can there be a fake? You have forgotten that my godfather is a servant in the palace, and he is the most well-informed. Hurry up, if someone else wins, you will earn less."

"Good talk!"

In fact, even if you don’t need to work in the palace, this matter has actually spread in the Liao Kingdom. Many people have heard the news, and even the exact purchase price has been proposed, but it is much higher than the current price. Half of it, and it is said that the caravan of the Song Dynasty also covered the wear and tear.

Where can such a good thing be justified?Those big families have already started to return the unprofitable business, and they all returned to their hometowns to start buying fields and building barns, and they will do a big job in the spring of next year.

Nowadays, there are almost no craftsmen in the city, and some of them are merchants who moved from the Song Dynasty. They sell all kinds of things, and they also buy things like wood and stone. Anyway, many people in the city have been doing speculative things recently. The business made a lot of money.

"Brother, don't worry. Believe me, you will make a lot of money, which is more than you can earn by working hard. I heard that your family still has ten acres of land in the country? Nowadays, it is fashionable to lease the land to the local big family. You collect rent. And then help the big family to farm, raise cattle and pigs, one return is equal to two shares of money."

"Anything like this?"

"That's natural, brother, don't worry, I won't lie to you if I lie to anyone."

Such or similar dialogues are happening all over the Liao Kingdom. The Liao Kingdom, where the handicraft industry had just begun to emerge, has turned into a large agricultural country in a very short period of time.

The Ministry of Household Affairs of the Liao State was even rejoiced when they saw the decrease in workers and the increase in farmers. They even took the initiative to release news to encourage those workers in the process to return to their hometowns for farming, breeding, and animal husbandry.

And at this moment in Xiao Song's home, he was standing under a pear tree in the courtyard, staring up at the top of the tree, thoughtful.

No one knew what he was thinking, but he saw deep eyes, as if he was thinking about something, which resulted in no one coming to disturb him all morning.

"What do you think?"

At noon, Jin Ling'er with a full belly came over. After seeing Xiao Song's expression, her biggest Jin Ling'er walked over and poked him: "See you this morning!" , are you cultivating immortals?"

"Don't bother him, he must be worried about the competition." Qiaoqiao supported Jin Ling'er: "Don't disturb him."

"Hey!" Jin Ling'er didn't believe it, she shook Song Beiyun vigorously: "What are you doing, you've been standing all morning."

Xiao Song came to his senses slowly at this moment, and pointed at the pear tree: "You said, if we graft poultry on it in the future, will there be apples and pears to eat?"

Big doubts slowly rose in the eyes of Jin Ling'er and Qiaoqiao, and Qiaoqiao asked in surprise, "You've been standing this morning thinking about such things?"

"It should be possible." Xiao Song said affirmatively with his hands on his hips, "You don't want to try?"

"Tomorrow is going to be a competition! But you are not panicked at all?" said pretty and puffed up, "Aren't you too sloppy?"

Jin Ling'er sighed: "Look, I knew he was definitely not thinking about those things."

Xiao Song blinked his eyes, his face full of innocence: "What's the trouble with that kind of thing?"

But at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door outside, and Jin Ling'er quickly walked into the room with Qiaoqiao's support.

Song Beiyun walked over and opened the door, but saw Bai Nian'an with an anxious expression on his face.

"Old Bai, what's the matter? You're in a hurry."

"Lord Song!" Bai Nian'an clasped his fists together: "The son of the governor of Luzhou insisted on seeing you, and even said that if you don't let him see, he will sue the imperial court, saying that the Imperial City Secretary has abused lynching and tortured you!"

"Beipo?" Xiao Song asked with disbelief on his face, "He went to visit the prison?"

"Isn't that right, the lower officials don't dare to offend a Hanlin guard on duty, they are all close ministers of the emperor..."

"All right, all right, look at what you look like, you're so flustered over such a trivial matter, I'll walk with you."

Bai Nian'an complained in his heart, now that the son of the governor of Luzhou has already made his way to the top and entered the Hanlin Academy, his father is a third-rank official in frontiers and worshiped under Ding Siqing's family, this person is really not easy to offend... After all, Bai Nian'an is not Song Beiyun, although he In the same position, Mr. Song is a chess player, what kind of thing is he, Bai Nian'an?

Following Bai Nian'an to the Imperial City Division, he changed into a set of plain clothes and went straight into the death row. Not long after he lay down, he saw Bei Po walking in with a food box in his hand, but his face was as deep as water.

"Brother Beipo."

Seeing him walk in, Xiao Song hurriedly dragged the shackles to the door of the cage, leaning on the fence and looking towards Beipo.

When Beipo saw Song Beiyun, he also sighed softly. He squatted on the ground and opened the food box, which contained wine and vegetables. After that, Beipo didn't say much, just poured wine for Song Beiyun, and the two drank a glass together.

"Beiyun, you didn't suffer, did you?"

"They dare not." Song Beiyun patted his chest and said, "Who dares to do something to me, die!?"

Beipo sighed softly, sat on the ground and put the food boxes into the cages in batches, and said with a serious expression: "I have already told my father that after the princess contest, I will let him write to the official's house to ask you to go to Luzhou Go be a petty official. No matter what, save your life first, the death of the grand master must be a headache for the officials."

"Thank you, Brother Beipo..."

Xiao Song was still very shocked after hearing this. He didn't expect that after he was locked up here, those friends who didn't know would stay away, but Beipo, who was called by him, was walking around looking for relationships for him. .

This really hits the heart a bit...

"You saved my life. How can a gentleman not repay his kindness? Just repay his kindness with kindness. Besides, you and I are considered brothers. When you gained power, you didn't say anything wrong with me, but I deliberately distanced myself. I felt sorry for it. Now When you are in trouble, how can I stand by and watch."

Song Beiyun was really touched and couldn't express it. Although Beipo's heart was a little narrower, at most he belonged to the ranks of literati. Celebrities are celebrities after all. Luzhou's young leaders are well-deserved. .

"Okay, brother Beipo, don't be too hasty, and I will give you a background. I will definitely come out in a few days. At most, I won't be able to be an official for a year or so. What else should I do? .”

"Oh? Seriously?" Beipo's eyes suddenly lit up: "How do you know?"

"Think about it, who am I working for? If I say that I am collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country, do I still have the ability? Isn't this all the business of the government, the Minister of Zhao, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Households? How can I have that? You are capable! It's just that no one can talk about the grand master's death, so I have to let me, a pawn, come out and stand in the way. Naturally, the official has a debt in his heart, and he will think of a way for me."

"That's good, that's good."

Beipo shook his head as if he breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother, I've been running around these past few days, from my mentor Mr. Ding to Mr. Zhao, from my uncle to my father..."

"Thank you for your kindness." Song Beiyun stood up in the prison and bowed deeply to Beipo: "I will be prosperous in the future, and I will definitely live up to my brother's kindness."

Beipo sat there with a smile: "You don't want to be fooled again. Although you say so this time, being with a king is like a tiger. If there is really no other way, you will still have to suffer in prison."

Song Beiyun scratched the bag that had just been bitten out by fleas: "Isn't it... I've suffered enough these past few days. Huh? By the way, brother Beipo...didn't participate in the princess's wedding ceremony outside?"

Hearing this, Beipo's eyes suddenly dimmed, and he picked up the wine glass and drank it down: "There is a bright moon in my heart, where can I not be happy."

"Huh? Brother, what you mean is..."

"Brother, I understand now that the Song Dynasty is in a time of turmoil, and the love of children is lingering in my heart. I am afraid that I will miss that prosperous age. And I have a relationship with the princess, and the princess has no intentions for me. It is better to be as neat as a man than to fall into trouble. If you have the strength to fight for fame and fortune, you might as well study hard and wait for the prosperous age. Why don’t a man have a wife.”

Xiao Song Chao cupped his hands on Beipo: "Brother understands righteousness."

Beipo just smiled wryly and didn't answer, but his eyes already said everything, and it must have been a heart-wrenching pain.

Chapter 425: On October 10th of the second year

After seeing off the slightly drunk Beipo, the two made an appointment to have a drink after Song Beiyun came out.

Xiao Song has been sitting in prison and thinking for a long time. Is the Confucianism he has always opposed desirable?The final answer is yes, absolutely.Confucian benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, trustworthiness, gentleness, respectfulness and thrift are absolutely virtues. What is bad is not Confucianism but those who misunderstand their thinking.

This can be seen from Beipo and Yusheng. A modest gentleman is as gentle as jade, and he is sensible and righteous in his heart. Compared with them, he, a person in a future civilized society, is like an uncivilized monkey, full of intrigue, Intrigues and scheming.

But the only thing Xiao Song can do is to protect them. Such people are treasures, and the outside of the treasure must be guarded by the most vicious evil gods.

After coming out of prison, Bai Nian'an asked Song Beiyun to stay for dinner, but he politely refused. After all, there is a pregnant woman in the family. It is really inappropriate not to go home. After all, to Xiao Song, the most important thing in this world is to him This is the word "home".

"Actually, it's not that I don't like Beipo. This kind of thing is like picking a dog. Talk about eye relationship. No matter what kind of good-looking dog it is, if it doesn't match the eye, it won't help. If it does, Even a gray dirt dog is fine."

Jin Ling'er's words made Xiao Song knock on the bowl, and Qiaoqiao patted his hand: "You are not allowed to knock on the bowl when eating! You will beg for food."

"Can't you hear it! She is cursing me around the corner."

"Of course I can hear it, so what if you let her scold you." Qiaoqiao filled Xiao Song's food and put it in front of him: "Jin Ling'er is the youngest in the family, so you let her."

This attitude... Xiao Song immediately understood that Jin Ling'er must have reached an agreement with Qiaoqiao, and used ten miles of red makeup to compensate the pretty baby.

No woman in the world can resist that kind of style. It is said that the Princess Wedding Ceremony planned by the Ministry of Rituals will use [-] palace lanterns to decorate the entire Jinling City in a grand occasion. One is to let the world open their eyes and take a good look Another reason for the grand occasion of the Song Dynasty was that the Liao Kingdom did not dare to despise the princess of the Song Dynasty.

"Okay, you guys have united to torment me." After eating two mouthfuls of food, Xiao Song buried his head and looked at the wonderful words beside him: "Miss Ji Wang is better."

Miao Yan slowly raised her head and glanced at him, then smiled and gave him a chicken butt: "Come on, Chicken King treats you to eat your ass."

The room was full of joy, and Xiao Song threw the chicken butt to the kitten who was begging next to him, raised his head and asked, "Has your Broadway project officially started?"

"The forty theaters are started simultaneously, and the same script is staged every day, all of which are synchronized. Now the Legend of the White Snake is being staged, and the response is not bad, and there are already additional performances." Miao Yan nodded: "And the intelligence network has begun to be laid out. Your family, Xu Li, has formed two nets, light and dark, and the construction of the dark part will probably take several months to half a year."

"Your Women's Army is quite strong." Xiao Song highly affirmed Miaoyan: "I'll wait for your good news."
