The daily life of the crown prince of the Song Dynasty

After seven years, returning to Bianjing again, Wang Anshi and his family felt as if they were separated from another world.Also, after not coming to Bianjing for seven years, Wang Anshi's family found that Bianjing was more prosperous, which made them think they came to the wrong place for a while.

Compared with Bianjing, Shuzhou is a remote and backward small village and a prosperous metropolis.

In the past seven years, Wang Pangpang and his family have been used to living an ordinary life in Shuzhou, but suddenly they came to such a prosperous place in Bianjing City, and their family was not used to it.However, they soon got used to it.

On the first night when they came back, Zeng Gong cleaned up their family in Fanlou.Wang Pangpang finally ate some delicacies that Zhao Yang told him in the letter, and they were really delicious.

As for the braised pork, the homemade ones are not as delicious as the ones cooked in Fanlou.The braised pork cooked in restaurants in Shuzhou is not as good as that made in Fanlou.

As early as a few years ago, braised pork spread all over the Song Dynasty.It is no exaggeration to say that every household can make braised pork, which is the difference between good and bad.

During this period of time, Wang Pangpang and his family were on their way, and the food they ate in the inn or inn was so-so.Now that such a delicacy is in front of them, their family is of course not welcome.

While drinking and eating with Wang Anshi, Zeng Gong told Wang Anshi what happened in Bianjing recently.

"The official ordered you to rest at home for a few days, and don't rush to report to the palace for the time being." After Zeng Gong finished speaking, seeing Wang Anshi's unshaven and unkempt appearance, thinking of the previous official's advice, he looked at Wang Anshi teasingly. Wang Anshi, "The official also told you to take a good bath and cleanse before entering the palace."

When Wang Anshi, who was preparing to pick up vegetables, heard this, he couldn't help but stop the movements in his hands.

After hearing this, Wang Pangpang quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, raised his hands to applaud, and said loudly: "The officials are wise! The officials are wise! The officials are wise!" Departing from Shuzhou to Bianjing City, Along the way, his father didn't take a bath even once.No matter how he and his mother persuaded him to take a bath, he refused to do so.

Wang Anshi put down the chopsticks in his hand, and looked at his friend helplessly: "Zigu, you will not pass on the imperial decree, will you?" Say these words.

"Give me ten guts, and I don't dare to pass on the imperial decree." Zeng Gong said with a smile, "It was the official who told me that you should take a good bath before entering the palace."

Wang Anshi still didn't quite believe it: "Why did the officials make such a strange decree?"

Wang Pangpang complained about his father unceremoniously: "Daddy, the officials must have heard about your dislike of taking a bath." Then, he gave his father a disgusted look, "The officials must despise you Dirty, that's why I specially ordered you to take a good bath and clean yourself before entering the palace." After finishing speaking, he deliberately moved to Wang Anshi's side and smelled it, then covered his mouth and nose, with a look of distressed expression on his face. He couldn't help but said, "Daddy, you didn't take a bath all the way, you smell bad."

Being humiliated by his son in this way, Wang Anshi looked calm, without any embarrassment or shame at all, instead he said straightforwardly: "I am manly."

When Wang Pangpang heard his father say such shameless words, he immediately rolled his eyes, and then showed a dazed expression: "Oh~ Daddy, so you are a stinky man."

Zeng Gong was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and laughed unceremoniously.

Wang Pangpang said very "filially", "Daddy, you are a stinky man in my mother's mouth." As he spoke, he suddenly realized and nodded, "No wonder Daddy is so stinky."

When talking about his father, Wang Pangpang is not polite at all.

"Smelly man..." Zeng Gong said while laughing.

Wang Anshi who was laughed at by his friends: "..."

"Uncle Zeng, I'm right."

Zeng Gong smiled and said, "Xiao'er, you are very right."

Wang Anshi glared fiercely at the unfilial son Wang Pangpang: "Did you say that about your father?"

Wang Pangpang looked innocent: "Daddy, you said it yourself."

Wang Anshi was too lazy to talk to Wang Pangpang, a rebellious son, and said to Zeng Gong: "Why do the officials care whether the ministers take a bath or not?"

"Jiefu, to be honest, you do have a smell." Zeng Gong was hard to say just now, but now that he heard Wang Pangpang hurt Wang Anshi, he could say it easily. "Do you think it's appropriate for you to go to the official's house just like you are now?"

"Uncle Zeng, my father wants to smoke the official family to death."

Wang Anshi glared at Wang Pangpang again, and said in a deep voice, "Shut up."

Wang Pangpang was not afraid of his father's warning at all, but he didn't say anything more.

"Jiefu, don't lose your manners when you meet the officials. After dinner, I'll take you to take a bath."

Wang Anshi directly refused, saying: "Tomorrow I will not enter the palace to meet the officials."

"You'd better take a shower with me." Zeng Gong was really helpless about his friend's habit of not taking a shower, "You haven't taken a shower all the way, I'm afraid it won't be clean if you wash it overnight. I'll take you there tonight." Take a bath, and then take you to wash again before you enter the palace."

"I'll just wash before entering the palace." I won't enter the palace tomorrow, so there's no need to take a bath tonight.

Zeng Gong clenched his fists and bowed in the direction of the palace, and said to Wang Anshi, "I'm taking you to take a bath by imperial decree, are you trying to resist the decree?"

Wang Anshi: "..." Why do the officials care whether he takes a bath or not.

"Daddy, you'd better follow Uncle Zeng to take a bath obediently later." Wang Pangpang smiled very happily when he saw his daddy was deflated.

Wang Anshi's expression was very speechless, but this was an imperial decree, and he couldn't resist the decree, so he could only obediently agree.

Zeng Gong was amused by his friend's hopeless expression: "Jiefu, the official is telling you to take a bath, not to die, why do you have such a desperate expression?"

Wang Anshi glanced sideways at Zeng Gong, and said angrily, "I don't like taking a bath."

Wang Pangpang said to Zeng Gong: "Uncle Zeng, when you see the official family, please ask the official family to order father to take a bath frequently." For a father who doesn't like bathing, Wang Pangpang is disgusted and helpless.

Hearing this, Wang Anshi raised his hand and pinched his son's small mouth into a duckbill shape.

Wang Pangpang couldn't say a word, he could only hum.

Zeng Gong smiled and said, "That's a good idea."

Wang Anshi shouted in dissatisfaction: "Zi Gu!"

"Jiefu, I didn't expect you to be afraid sometimes, hahahaha." Zeng Gong smiled gloatingly, "Now I've caught your hand."

Wang Anshi looked at his treacherous friend who was smiling, and felt a little regretful in his heart, wondering if it was too late for him to break up with Zigu now?

"By the way, not only the officials ordered this, but His Royal Highness also ordered me to take a bath."

Wang Anshi: "..." I knew he would not have come back from Shuzhou.

"Daddy, I'm afraid you are the only courtier who can tell the officials and His Royal Highness to take a bath together." Wang Pangpang mocked, "Daddy, you are really amazing!"

Wang Anshi: "..." I can't have this son.

Seeing Wang Pangpang hurting his friends so much, Zeng Gong thought it was amused.They laughed at Wang Anshi along with him: "Jiefu, this is an honor."

"Zi Gu, you've turned bad." I haven't seen you for seven years, I didn't expect Zi Gu to become so bad.

"Hahahahaha..." Zeng Gong stopped teasing Wang Anshi, and continued to drink and eat with his friends.

Wang Pangpang let his father go for the time being, and concentrated on eating delicious food.

After dinner, Wang Anshi reluctantly took a bath with Zeng Gong.Of course, Fatty Wang followed suit.

There are many bathhouses in Bianjing, and many of them are very luxurious.Of course, Zeng Gong did not take Wang Anshi to take a bath in a high-end bathhouse, but took a bath in the bathhouse he often went to. The price was not cheap, but it was not expensive either.

Wang Anshi didn't take a bath all the way, so one can imagine how dirty he was.

It took Zeng Gong and Wang Pangpang a lot of effort to wipe out Wang Anshi.

After taking a shower, the three of them went back.

The house that Zeng Gong rented to Wang Anshi's family was near his home.

Before entering the door, Zeng Gong also jokingly said: "Tomorrow, the officials and His Royal Highness will ask me if I have taken you to take a bath, and I can do business."

Wang Pangpang said with a smile: "Uncle Zeng, it's really hard for you."

Zeng Gong nodded and said, "It's really hard." He flicked his wrist lightly, "My hands are still a little sore."

Wang Anshi said angrily: "You deserve it." After speaking, he left angrily.

Fatty Wang bowed to Zeng Gong: "Uncle Zeng, let's go."

"In the past few days, you should rest well."

"We will."

After Wang Pangpang said goodbye to Zeng Gong, he ran to chase his father.

Standing in the distance, Zeng Gong saw Wang Anshi and his son fighting, and shook his head with a smile. Jiefu's temperament is really childish sometimes.

As soon as Wang Pangpang got home, he told his mother about the government and His Royal Highness ordering his father to take a bath, and Mrs. Wang was taken aback when she heard it.Knowing that Wang Anshi went to the bathhouse to take a bath tonight, Mrs. Wang thanked the official family, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and Zeng Gong very much.

Mrs. Wang didn't go to Fanlou for dinner with Wang Pangpang and the others, but went directly to Zeng Gong's house, had dinner with Zeng Gong's wife and daughter, and then they also went to the bathhouse to take a bath.

The next day, after the court, Zeng Gong was called to Funing Palace.

Song Renzong and Zhao Yang asked him about Wang Anshi's situation.

Zeng Gong told Song Renzong and the others exactly what happened last night.

Song Renzong and Zhao Yang listened to Zeng Gong's description, and the father and son were very dumbfounded.

"Why taking a bath is like killing Wang Anshi?"

"Officials, for Jiefu, taking a bath is killing him."

Zhao Yang was stunned: "It's the first time I've seen someone who doesn't like to take a bath." Wang Anshi, a civil servant, doesn't care about his appearance. It's really... If a general doesn't take a bath, he can understand it, but Wang Anshi doesn't take a bath. incomprehensible.

"It's also the first time I've seen you."

"Jiefu's son said that he hoped that the officials and His Royal Highness would order his father to take a bath frequently."

Song Renzong couldn't help laughing: "Hahahaha, it seems that Wang Anshi's son can't stand him not taking a bath."

Zhao Yang said: "A normal person can't stand it."

Zeng Gong said: "What His Royal Highness said is absolutely true."

Song Renzong said with a smile: "I have granted his request, and I will often order Wang Anshi to take a bath."

Throughout the ages, Wang Anshi is probably the only one who can keep the emperor ordering to take a bath.
