"Hey, Qi Yue, are you drunk?" Song Cheng suddenly said cautiously, Qi Yue's sharp eyebrows and eyes seemed a little blurred and soft under the dim light, Song Cheng called out, Qi Yue didn't respond, his head was covered Song Cheng hummed softly in the hollow of his shoulder.

Song Cheng secretly stretched out his finger and hooked Qi Yue's fingertips, and found that Qi Yue didn't respond, so he boldly stretched his hand forward again, Qi Yue's palm was still slightly moist and hot as before, Song Cheng Gently tapped the palm of his hand, smiling like a stealing cat.

"Chengzi." Qi Yue said suddenly, and Song Cheng was so frightened that he immediately wanted to withdraw his hand, seeing that it had flowed out of Qi Yue's palm, but unexpectedly, Qi Yue reached out and grabbed it again, Qi Yue Yue held Song Cheng's hand tightly, and he stretched out his hand to break Song Cheng's fingers and said, "Still with the chicken's paw."

Song Cheng's face became hot and he was about to snatch his hand back, but Qi Yue was so drunk that he grabbed hold of it with all his strength: "Chengzi."

Unprepared, Song Cheng raised his head in a panic, his eyes were as timid as a deer, Qi Yue tilted his head to one side and opened his mouth to smile: "Why hide, I didn't see anything when I was young, what's wrong with holding hands." He also squeezed Song Cheng's hand into his bosom.

"Oh..." Unexpectedly, Song Cheng didn't respond to Qi Yue, and let him hold his hand and nestle at the door.

"Qi Yue, how long are you going to go?" Song Cheng's voice was a little low, Qi Yue couldn't hear clearly, he could only vaguely hear Song Cheng talking about his joining the army, and immediately remembered Song Cheng's footprints left at his door that day, For a while, he put away the joke on his face.

"Chengzi, don't worry, I will come back properly." Qi Yue pulled Song Cheng into his arms and hugged him. Song Cheng nodded silently, "Okay."

"Chengzi, I beg you to do something." Qi Yue let go of Song Cheng, and the two were still standing facing each other. Song Cheng vaguely saw the little Douding when they first met, he nodded and said, "Tell me."

"After I left, my mother was alone at home. She is usually very strong, but she is a woman. I don't worry about it. Chengzi, please take care of her when you have nothing to do." The sadness of parting comes.No matter how good the road ahead is, you can't let go of the people behind you.

"Yes, I will." Song Cheng replied.

"Take care of yourself too." Qi Yue looked at Song Cheng and added.

"Ah, you too."

Song Cheng lowered his head when he spoke, and Qi Yue felt that Song Cheng might be about to cry. He lifted Song Cheng's shoulders, went up to take a closer look, and stretched out his hand to wipe Song Cheng's face again. Cai said: "It's fine if you don't cry, it's fine if you don't cry. Chengzi, you don't know, I'm most afraid of you crying. When you were a child, you just shrunk your mouth, and I was terribly afraid."

Song Cheng kicked Qi Yue angrily and said, "You can't say nice things, if I cry you won't go, I would have cried long ago."

Qi Yue thought he was dazzled just now, so he lowered his head to look again, only to see that both of Song Cheng's eyes were glistening with water, and the color was slightly darker, it should be red, Qi Yue's heart ached suddenly, he reached out to embrace Song Cheng Li patted his shoulder and said: "Chengzi, don't cry, wait for Brother Yue, when we have won the Liao Kingdom and regained the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, Brother Yue will come back to accompany you."

"I remember what you said." Song Cheng yearned for this familiar embrace.His Qi Yue has grown up, not the one he hoped for, but the one he likes.

"Definitely." Qi Yue said with a smile.

Song Cheng reached into his neck and took off the board tied on the red thread. He said to Qi Yue, "Lower your head." Qi Yue lowered his head obediently, still not idle: "This What, your precious copper coins?"

"Well, dislike?"

"How dare." Qi Yue said with a smile.

While speaking, Song Cheng had already tied the copper coin around Qi Yue's neck, and Qi Yue took the copper coin in his hand and tapped it: "Why do I feel so strange wearing it?"

Song Cheng smiled and said, "No way."

Qi Yue stuffed the copper money into his clothes and said, "Okay, it's fine if you don't think it's strange."

"Qi Yue, which army do you want to join?" Song Cheng asked.

"Do you need to ask, of course it is Marshal Pan's army." Qi Yue said with a smile, "My father was General Pan's personal soldier, and I want to be his personal soldier, standing in the same position as my father , do what my father once did!"

Song Cheng thought to himself, following Pan Mei was better than following Yang Ye, at least it was less dangerous.He instructed: "Qi Yue, when you are in the army, you must remember to follow Pan and not Yang. You can only follow Pan Mei, and you must not follow Yang Ye to go to war, you understand?"

"Why?" Qi Yue asked.If it were someone else, he would definitely ask if he looked down on General Yang as a surrendered general, but this was said by Song Cheng. After getting along for so many years, Qi Yue knew that Song Cheng definitely didn't mean that, so he asked.

"Just promise me, anyway, you are serving as Marshal Pan's bodyguard, and you have nothing to do with General Yang." Song Cheng avoided Qi Yue's eyes.Qi Yue didn't quarrel with Song Cheng because of these irreconcilable matters, he nodded very simply and said: "Okay, I promise you."

"Be sure to remember." Song Cheng felt uneasy, and told him again.

"I know, I know, it's long-winded." Qi Yue said with a smile.

The New Year's bell is ringing, and the distant ancient rhyme penetrates every street and alley in Bianjing and spreads to thousands of households.Hearing the sound of the bell, Qi Yue smiled and said to Song Cheng: "Chengzi, Happy Chinese New Year!"

"Happy New Year." Song Cheng said with a smile.

Qi Yue felt that Song Cheng looked better when she smiled than any girl he had ever seen before, so he couldn't help but reach out and poke Song Cheng's smiling face, Song Cheng stretched out his hand and slapped it away.Although Qi Yue is only two years older than himself, this two-year-old is particularly obvious when he was a teenager. At this time, Qi Yue already has the outline of an adult, while Song Cheng is still like a child who has not grown up, a bit unchangeable .

Qi Yue sighed: "Chengzi, you said how wonderful it would be if you were a girl. My mother often said that if you were a girl, you would marry me as a daughter-in-law directly. It would save trouble and save her looking around."

"Your mother will give you a blind date again?" Song Cheng clenched his fingers tightly, it turns out that Qi Yue has grown up, if he...if he anything, Song Cheng can't think about it, this person is obviously his own.

Thinking that his small face has been pulled down here, Qi Yue immediately felt that something was wrong when he saw this, he hurriedly said: "Isn't this something that happened before I didn't join the army? I didn't mention any other girls, my mother said it would save me from harming other girls."

"Oh." Song Cheng said that he knew.

"Qi Yue, after the Chinese New Year, I may go to Suzhou with my teacher to see my elder brother, and he is going to marry that Miss Cheng family." Song Cheng said.

Qi Yue nodded and asked, "Then when will you come back?"

Song Cheng thought for a while and said, "June or July, just in time to come back from Bianhe with the merchant ship."

Qi Yue said with a smile: "The southeast has always been prosperous, it's fun for you to go." He rubbed Song Cheng's head as he spoke.Song Cheng nodded: "Qi Yue, I don't want to grow up, I will be separated when I grow up."

Qi Yue couldn't help but said, "I didn't expect you to say such childish things. People have to grow up. Only when they grow up can they do more things. How boring it is to be a child all your life."

It was getting dark, and the two of them went back to sleep.

Early the next morning, Song Cheng was just thinking about it when he heard someone talking outside. He thought it was Brother Cui who had already arrived. He hurriedly put on his clothes, tidied his hair and ran out to see that it was indeed Cui Pingzhi.Cui Pingzhi was wearing old clothes, and he was already in good spirits when talking and laughing.

Two years ago, Mrs. Cui still went. Cui Pingzhi seemed to have suddenly lost his support, and collapsed all of a sudden. After that, he hadn't been seen for half a year.Every time Song Cheng went to visit, he always saw a layer of depression between his brows.

"Brother Cui!" Song Cheng jumped out with a smile, "Happy Chinese New Year."

Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "My child, I have been thinking about you so early in the morning." Song Cheng hurriedly said to Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu, "Happy New Year, teacher and wife."

Mrs. Xu gave a sneer and said, "Let's all go inside, it's cold outside."

Master Xu smiled and went in first, Song Chengyi leaned beside Cui Pingzhi, not knowing what to say, chattering.Cui Pingzhi and Song Cheng paid New Year greetings to their elders together, and then they got down to business.

"Master, I heard that you are going to Pingjiang Mansion." Cui Pingzhi asked.

"Yes, Fuzhi is getting married." Mr. Xu was full of smiles as he spoke, and he stroked his beard to express that he was very happy now.Madam Xu also pursed her lips and smiled as she sat beside her wife.

"I want to go with Master." Cui Pingzhi said, "My father told Pingzhi to always stay with Master and Chengzi before he was alive. Besides, I don't worry about the three of you going to Suzhou. If there are places that are not well taken care of, it is better for me to follow."

Song Cheng was sensible and didn't say anything, Cui Pingzhi's words were absolutely right, they were old and young, if they encountered any problems along the way, there was no one who could stop them.Peasant uprisings came and went one after another in the Song Dynasty, but he didn't have the courage.

In the blink of an eye, the fifteenth day passed, and the notice of recruiting soldiers from the imperial court came down. Presumably, Song Taizong wanted to speed up the pace of attacking Liao. Now even Qi Chen joined the army, and Qi Yue unexpectedly had an extra companion.

On the day Qi Yue and Qi Chen left, Lady Qi returned to the old house for the first time.The Qi family house is not small, and Grandma Qi Yue is still alive, but because of the death of Qi Yue's father, Mrs. Qi and her mother-in-law had a disagreement and moved out.Now that Qi Yue is so old, Mrs. Qi is getting older and understands her mother-in-law's suffering, so she took this opportunity to reconcile.

Qi Chen's mother cried so much that she couldn't even open her eyes, but Lady Qi kept smiling.Qi Yue held his mother's hand until the recruiting place and said: "Mother, you must take care of yourself when you are alone at home, and wait for your son to come back."

Mrs. Qi gave Qi Yue a haircut and said, "Understood, mother is waiting for you at home."

Qi Yue glanced at the back. When he went to see Song Cheng this morning, Song Cheng was fast asleep, so he didn't wake Song Cheng up, but just hugged him gently. Song Cheng has been by his side all the time, even Qi Chen is not as close as he is to him.

"Qi Yue, wait!" As soon as Qi Yue turned his head, he heard Song Cheng calling behind him. Qi Yue looked back, only to see that little scholar was wearing a green suit as usual, but he had never seen him running away in such a panic. look up.Qi Yue couldn't help laughing: "What are you in such a hurry for?"

"Why didn't you call me!" Song Cheng ran over to support Qi Yue to breathe, he stretched out his arms to hug Qi Yue and said, "You must come back properly."

Qi Yue saw that Song Cheng buried his head in his chest and did not lift it up, so he reached out and stroked Song Cheng's head and said, "You study hard, I will come back when you grow up."

"Yeah." Song Cheng let go of Qi Yue after rubbing, he stuffed the dagger that Xu Fuzhi gave him to Qi Yue and said, "Here you are!"

Qi Yue reached out to take it and gently pulled the scabbard away, only to see the dazzling cold light, he said in surprise, "Chengzi, where did you come from? This is for me?"

Song Cheng nodded and said, "Well, never leave yourself without a weapon on the battlefield. You must carry it at all times." But he didn't say where it came from. If Song Cheng said it was given by Xu Fuzhi Qi Yue definitely wouldn't want his gift, so don't hide it from him.

"Yeah." Qi Yue nodded towards Song Cheng, "I'm leaving, see you later."

This situation seems to be the same every time Qi Yue said goodbye since he was a child, but Qi Yue left this time, so he won't be able to see him tomorrow.

Song Cheng ninja nodded in tears and said, "Yeah."

Qi Chen stood aside and said with a smile: "Look at your little daughter-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely protect my brother. By the way, Chengzi, why didn't you say goodbye to me? You really have no loyalty, and only my brother is left in your eyes." .”

Song Cheng burst into tears and laughed: "Stop being so talkative, you'll come back well."

Qi Chen stretched out his hand and patted Song Cheng's shoulder and said, "Definitely."

The two lined up for a while and then disappeared. Song Cheng turned around and saw Qi Niangzi and Qi Chen's father. Seeing their son who had gone away, they suddenly felt a sense of sympathy for each other, and smiled at each other.

"Let's go, Chengzi, let's go back." Lady Qi said to Song Cheng, then turned to Qi Chen's father: "My uncle will be back early too."

Qi Chen's father nodded and replied, "Sister-in-law, go slowly."

Once Song Cheng returned, he began to prepare to go to Jiangnan.

In the Song Dynasty, Suzhou was called Eastern Wu, Changzhou was called Zhongwu, and Huzhou was called Western Wu.As the saying goes, the shape of the southeast is superior, the cities of the three Wus, and Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times.Song Cheng's tossing gradually put aside those reluctant parting emotions when Qi Yue left.

The Bianhe River was only open to navigation in March, and now the only way to go to Jiangnan is by land. Master Xu bought a carriage specially for the southbound trip. On the way, Master Xu and Mrs. Xu sat in the carriage, while Cui Pingzhi and Song Cheng sat outside the carriage. Leisurely travel to the south of the Yangtze River.In early spring in the south of the Yangtze River, the flowers bloom just right.

Xu Fuzhi hadn't seen him for four years, and he was already infiltrated by the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, making him a little more warm.Even if they walked slowly on the road, Master Xu and Mrs. Xu were too old to withstand the bumps. When the group arrived in Suzhou, they were covered in dust.

The road conditions in Suzhou city are quite complicated, fortunately Xu Fuzhi got the letter early and waited outside the city to pick it up, otherwise he would have to go around a lot to get home.

Song Cheng jumped down when he saw the gate of the city, and he and Cui Pingzhi helped the two old men down.Mr. Xu got off the carriage, looked at Suzhou and sighed, "It's a good place."

Mrs. Xu couldn't care less about seeing how the city was doing. After getting off the carriage, she took Xu Fuzhi's hand to see how her son was doing. After looking at it for a long time, she felt that the water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River really nourished people, and her son looked better than before. Immediately more smiles.

Xu Fuzhi's business has flourished in the past few years, and he bought a big house in Suzhou. The surrounding environment is quiet, and Song Cheng can tell at a glance that it is for two elderly people.Looking around again, it really is a good place. Master Xu and Mrs. Xu have always been open-minded, and it would be good to be by their son's side. As for the fallen leaves returning to their roots, the two elders are still in good health, so it's too early to say.

Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu were also happy to see the house bought by their son. How can parents not be happy when their son is doing well?

"Fuzhi, how did you discuss your marriage with the girl from the Cheng family? Has the date been settled?" Mrs. Xu asked.

"I've already been hired, and I'm just waiting for your elders to host, and the elders over there are also waiting for you." Xu Fuzhi said with a smile.

"Okay, okay." Mrs. Xu said a few words of hello with a smile.

Xu Fuzhi laughed again and said: "Our matter is different from other people's. Parents can go to Cheng's house to see if they want to. The two elders of Cheng's family often say they want to see you."

Mrs. Xu said a few more words of hello, then turned to discuss with Master Xu.Master Xu said: "Fuzhi has been taken care of by the Cheng family for so many years, so he should come to see him."

Xu Fuzhi smiled and ordered people to prepare. Mr. Xu couldn't understand his behavior of buying people, so he couldn't help but said: "Why did you buy people, no one is good at learning, just thinking about making some money Call people."

Xu Fuzhi laughed immediately when he heard his father's words, "Father, I can't do business without a housekeeper. You said that people who do business with you come to the door every now and then. You can't let your son serve customers and do business alone, right?" .”

Master Xu thought about it, so he swallowed the rest of the words.

The Cheng family is not considered a wealthy family, with food and clothing at most. Since Xu Fuzhi came to take care of them these years, it is much better than before.After two days of rest at home, the Xu family prepared gifts and came to visit the Cheng family.

If you don't choose where the Cheng family lives, it's just two lanes away.The Qingwa wet road in the south of the Yangtze River is full of poetry.

"It's this one." Xu Fuzhi said with a smile when he arrived at the door, walked up to knock on the door and said, "Uncle Cheng, Aunt Cheng." After a while, the door was answered by a voice from inside.It was Cheng's father who opened the door. As soon as he saw Xu Fuzhi leading a group of people in, he immediately knew that Xu's parents had arrived, and immediately greeted the two elders with a smile.

Master Xu and Mrs. Xu looked at each other, thinking that this should be a greeting, so he replied with a few good words from the first meeting, "I'll thank you for taking care of our family.Xu Fuzhi and Song Cheng forcibly suppressed their smiles when the three old men greeted each other, and then even entered the door after a miscommunication.Cui Pingzhi said that he didn't understand anything.

People in Jiangnan speak Wu Nong's soft language, and the Cheng family can't speak official dialect. When Mr. Xu and his party arrived at Cheng's house, the collision between Henan dialect and Jiangsu dialect began immediately.Fortunately, there was Xu Fuzhi's translation, otherwise it would be really impossible to communicate.

Mrs. Xu and Cheng's mother went to see the girls of the Cheng family again. Cheng Yiya is seventeen years old, she is in the grade of a flower, and she is gentle and beautiful. When the two entered, she was working as a female celebrity. Mrs. Xu glanced at her from a distance, Seeing the two mandarin ducks embroidered vividly, Mrs. Xu felt even more satisfied immediately. She has a good appearance and skillful hands. She looks a bit shy and has a good temper. She is a good daughter who manages the house.

"Auntie." Cheng Yiya saluted Mrs. Xu, her face flushed a little.Mrs. Xu approached with a smile and held Cheng Yiya to look at it for a long time, afraid that the daughter-in-law-to-be would not understand what she was saying, but after a few words, she discovered that the daughter-in-law-to-be could speak some official language, and the two immediately started talking.Cheng Yiya thought in her heart that it was fortunate that she had learned so much Mandarin in order to speak to Xu Fuzhi, otherwise it would be broken right now.

Don't take special care of Song Cheng here, Mr. Xu's family has long raised Song Cheng as his own child, and Cheng's father's family is also a scholarly family from his ancestors. When it comes to poetry and books, Song Cheng feels that he is just a second time. After going to school once, it was only by waiting for Mrs. Xu to come that she escaped the catastrophe.

The auspicious day of the zodiac has also been chosen long ago, and after a little calculation by the two families, they set the date to the sixth day a month later.

As soon as Mrs. Xu went back, she started to make a fuss, everything was done by herself, and the butler followed Mrs. Xu all day long to listen to her order and do translation by the way.Xu Fuzi played chess with him every day, or read a book, and sometimes went fishing, so he lived a very leisurely life.

Song Cheng took Cui Pingyi's face around the city of Suzhou for many days, because Suzhou has developed handicrafts since ancient times, embroidery, porcelain, printing and so on.Song Cheng is most interested in printing.He went to many bookstores and libraries, and found that the books here were still engraved and printed, so the types of books sold in each bookstore were extremely limited.

Song Cheng thought that when he went back, he would open the Jingxiang library. Only after seeing other people's libraries opened did he feel that his library was really dilapidated.Cui Pingzhi didn't understand what Song Cheng was thinking, he just followed Song Cheng around.

In the blink of an eye, it was the eve of the big wedding, and the entire Xu Mansion was decorated with lights and festoons, with extremely festive colors inside and out, and even Xu Fuzhi's house had turned completely red.

Xu Fuzhi couldn't sleep at all that night, so he sat in the yard for a while, the moonlight was very bright, as if it were daytime.

"Brother." Song Cheng called out from the window, "Why don't you go to sleep?"

"I'll sit for a while." Xu Fuzhi said with a smile.Song Cheng stepped on his shoes and came out, Xu Fuzhi sat a little lonely under the moonlight.

"You're getting married tomorrow, what's there to be unhappy about? Don't people say it? It's a joy in life when you get married in the bridal chamber and when you are named on the gold list." Song Cheng smiled and said to Xu Fuzhi, and Xu Fuzhi touched Song Cheng. He smiled and said: "You are still young, you don't understand."

"I'm already fifteen." Song Cheng retorted.

"Fifteen is still young." Xu Fuzhi smiled and said, "I heard that Qi Yue joined the army?"

"Yeah." Song Cheng nodded.

"Reluctant?"

"Sure, it's so dangerous on the battlefield, and besides, we've never been separated since we've grown up." Song Cheng lowered his head.

"Yishu and I met on the battlefield. At that time, I had just joined the army as a recruit, and so was he. Yishu looks very similar to your new sister-in-law. You haven't met Miss Cheng yet, have you?" Xu Fuzhi suddenly thought Song Cheng asked.Song Cheng smiled and said, "No."

"When I saw Uncle Cheng for the first time, I wondered if Yishu would be like that when he was old." Xu Fuzhi shook his head with a smile and said, "It was difficult when I first came to Suzhou. I always lose more and gain less, and I don’t understand the language, and I feel really hard. At that time, the only thing I had was that this was Yishu’s hometown, and here were the people he entrusted to me.”

Song Cheng didn't dare to speak, so he listened to Xu Fu alone. Perhaps Xu Fuzhi could only say these words to himself.

"The person who died on the battlefield that time should have been me. Yishu was injured by the Liao army because of me. He was seriously injured. Did the army have enough medicine? The doctor was at a loss what to do. He went there in two days. In those two days, he told me a lot about his life experience. The last thing he was reluctant to part with was that his younger sister was still young, Gao Tang was old, and had no one to support her. I said, I will take care of you and I will take care of you. You take care of it. But Chengzi, why do you say that I did what he said, and my heart is still so empty? It’s as if I haven’t done anything.”

"Brother." Song Cheng called Xu Fuzhi, but didn't dare to say anything else.

"It's late at night, go back to sleep." Xu Fuzhi got up and smiled.

"Well, big brother also goes to bed early." Song Cheng said.

Xu Fuzhi nodded, and walked back with heavy steps. As soon as he took off his shoes, he lay on the bed. The room was red and even a little dazzling. He stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, pulled the quilt aside and fell into a drowsy sleep.

In the early morning of the next morning, firecrackers were buzzing outside Xu's mansion, and joyous music was played in unison. Xu Fuzhi was wearing a groom's uniform and riding a tall horse, and everyone behind him carried a sedan chair, and went to welcome the bride.Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu also put on new clothes recently, and Song Cheng and Cui Pingzhi were entertaining guests outside.

"The daughter of the Cheng family is really lucky. When the young master of the Cheng family died in the north, the Cheng family thought the sky was about to collapse. Unexpectedly, Boss Xu came. Hold it up."

"That's right, it's really a blessing. I thought I had a niece in my family and wanted to betrothed to Boss Xu, but I didn't expect that she already had a marriage contract. Fortunately, I didn't open my mouth, otherwise the two sides would be embarrassed."

Song Cheng is a fast learner, and he can already understand most of these Wu dialects. At this moment, Xu Fuzhi has not returned from welcoming his relatives, so he is listening to these guests chattering here.

"The bride is here, everyone, go out and have a look!" Suddenly someone shouted at the door, and immediately the people in the yard rushed out, Song Cheng hurriedly followed, and Cui Pingzhi avoided it because of Xiao Xiao. .

Song Cheng went out late, and saw that Xu Fuzhi had already carried the bride in from the outside, and put it down before the brazier. Cheng Yiya helped Xu Fuzhi's hand to hang over the brazier, and everyone cheered again.The red hijab on Cheng Yiya's head completely blocked his sight, and he could only see a few inches below his feet. In order not to slip, he had to hold Xu Fuzhi's hand tightly.

Xu Fuzhi also laughed, anyone who would hold back his face when they got married was not forced to marry.

When Mrs. Xu saw Xu Fuzhi leading the bride in, her eye circles were also red, and she cried while clutching the handkerchief. Mrs. Xu patted the back of the boss's hand lightly and said, "It's a happy event, don't cry, my child." Not good to see."

Mrs. Xu nodded in response and wiped away her tears, "I couldn't hold back for a while."

To say that when Xu Fuzhi was young, it was better than closing Qi Yue. Qi Yue's mischievous energy was most likely learned from Xu Fuzhi.

The master of ceremonies shouted loudly at the side: "Bow to heaven and earth——"

"Second worship high hall-"

"Husband and wife greet each other—"

"Licheng, send it to the bridal chamber—"

Everyone smiled and blessed the newcomers. Xu Fuzhi carried Cheng Yiya to the new house, and the banquet outside began to be set up. Xu Fuzhi toasted the guests next to the wine table. In the end, he was so poured that Song Cheng took the place Two cups, unexpectedly Song Cheng's strength was exhausted, and the two of them got drunk together.

When Song Cheng woke up, it was already the second day.

This was the first time Song Cheng saw Cheng Yiya, and he felt that Jiangnan women were like this, like water.Cheng Yiya served tea to Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu, changed her words, and got presents from Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu. Mrs. Xu took her daughter-in-law's hand and said: "If you bully you again in the future, you will My mother will take care of him for you."

"Brother Xu is very nice." Cheng Yiya blushed as she spoke, making her even more shy.

Xu Fuzhi angrily said to his mother, "Mother, is your son like that?"

Master Xu just stroked his beard and smiled.

After the big wedding, the two elders of the Xu family stayed in Suzhou for the time being. After all, their son just got married, so it would not be good to leave by himself.

After discussing with Master Xu, Song Cheng decided to go outside for a study tour, and it happened that Cui Pingzhi followed, so everyone felt relieved.Mrs. Xu told Song Cheng a lot of things to pay attention to on the way. Mrs. Xu brought several clothes for Song Cheng to change. Xu Fuzhi was the most direct and gave a lot of money.

Song Cheng went on a study tour for the first time, and the end point was Bianjing. He wanted to go back all the way, and then take good care of the library when Master Xu was away.According to Xu Fuzhi and Song Cheng's predictions, when Cheng Yiya is pregnant for one year and takes care of the child for another year, the old couple will stay in Jiangnan for at least two years. Song Cheng wants to take advantage of these two years to tidy up the library .

It was already April when Song Cheng and Cui Pingzhi set off from Suzhou.

It was hot at noon that day, so Song Cheng and Cui Pingzhi took a rest at a small tea stall by the side of the road to avoid the sun. It was so nice to meet three or four businessmen who were also walking here to rest their feet. I taught them everything about the world. .

"I heard that Ye Luxian, the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, died." A person suddenly said, and when this person said this, the people who were talking next to him stopped immediately.Just when someone was thinking whether this statement was true or not, someone immediately asked, "Where did you hear it? Is it true?"

"What are you doing to lie to you? My brother came back from doing business in the north. He said that Ye Luxian, the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, died the year before last, and his wife, Empress Dowager Xiao, is now in power. You know, I even ordered someone to poison Han Derang's wife to death a few days ago!" The man said immediately, telling the news he heard one by one, and those who heard it clicked their tongues.

"Sure enough, they are some barbarians who even have adulterous affairs. They are despised by others. This matter is placed in my court. I have to soak her in a pig cage!" One person said contemptuously.

"That's not the way it is said. Our Han empress dowagers are much more flirtatious than Empress Dowager Xiao. Earlier there was the Empress Dowager Xuan of Qin, and the one who was closer was the Emperor Wu. Even this Empress Dowager Xiao is really ugly." One person said. Take a sip of the tea ceremony.

"I don't know this brother, but who is the current minister in power in the Liao Kingdom?" Song Cheng said suddenly, and he bowed to the person who spoke.

The businessmen who were talking turned around and saw that it was a young gentleman who was studying, and he did not despise him and returned the salute with a smile: "Young gentleman also cares about this matter of beating and killing?"

Song Cheng replied with a smile: "We are also from Song Dynasty, how can we not care?"

"Little Xianggong is quite open-minded. Scholars nowadays don't take war men seriously." The businessman sighed, "It is said that the young emperor of the Liao Kingdom was only 12 years old when he ascended the throne. Han Derang and Yelu Xiezhen are the masters. Now that the Liao Kingdom has become so rotten, it is a good time for us, Song Dynasty, to go to war!"

"Yeah, it's a good time. I hope the officials can take back my Han family's Yanyun sixteen prefectures in one fell swoop, and it will be a shameful blow!"

"Yes, yes, it's up to Pan Yang."

"My famous generals in Song Dynasty are not limited to Pan Yang, but also Cao Bin, Mi Xin, etc. There are so many of them. They will definitely bring out the evil spirit of the Five Dynasties of Tang Dynasty!"

Several people talked more and more lively, and even Cui Pingzhi laughed too.But Song Cheng really didn't like it, Queen Mother Xiao, Han Derang, Yelu Xiezhen, which one is more fuel-efficient?Also with Brother Yeluxiu from Youzhou, this battle is not easy.
