Volume 2 Flowers follow the willows, the clouds are light and the wind is light! Chapter 3 Wang Zhi's Identity
When Zhang He heard that Tang Ning was going to be a neighbor with Shen Kuo, his face changed several times, and finally he asked hesitantly, "Are you sure?" ”
Tang Ning didn't have much luggage, just two clothes and two suitcases. The people sent by Wang Zhi to help Tang Ning move had already moved the boxes to the carriage, and one of them was to be sent to Wang Zhi.
There wasn't much furniture in that house, and it was cleaned enough to accommodate people, and it needed to be helped.
Tang Ning is alone now, and the people he knows are people like Wang Zhongxian, Zhang He, and Wang Zhi, so he can't ask these three to help clean up the house, right? Zhao Xu didn't dare to do this.
So the extra money from the box of golden sand asked Wang Zhi to help find some servants to clean the house and buy some furniture.
Wang Zhi, who had just finished pit Tang Ning, felt guilty, and suddenly received a box of golden sands, presumably he would definitely make twelve efforts to help Tang Ning arrange everything.
When Tang Ning heard Zhang He's question, he smiled and said, "Although Mr. Mengxi's character is despised by others, his knowledge is a real thing. The little nephew has no intention of entering the office, and his biggest wish in life is to stay at home to do learning, do business, be a learned rich man, marry a wife, have children, and the family will live this life peacefully. ”
Zhang He looked at Tang Ning and was speechless for a long time. It's just that his shoulders are shaking, and it can be seen that he is not lightly angry.
Thinking about it, if the disciple trained by this hermit is so unenterprising, it must be a person who feels sorry. And Zhang He is so good to himself, it is completely an investment. Now that he heard that his investment would not be rewarded, he had a feeling that he had been deceived.
Of course, he doesn't blame Downing, that's the good thing about being young. So not long after Tang Ning left, he returned to his home, picked up the teacup that Tang Ning had been using, slammed it on the ground, his eyes widened angrily, and he shouted: "Liu Ling, the official of the imperial city, is inseparable from you!" Of course, he didn't shout, he just shouted in his heart, God knows if there are any people from the Imperial City Division among his servants......
Wang Zhi, who received the money, was not usually fast, and by the time Tang Ning arrived at the place, a large group of servants and miscellaneous servants had already begun to clean up the entire house.
Tang Ning was very satisfied, but he didn't expect that Wang Zhi was also there.
"Don't you go to work? So idle every day. ”
"Brother, I'm recuperating from my injuries, and you don't know." Wang Zhi said proudly.
"I'm curious, someone like you can be a lieutenant general without doing anything, what is your background?"
"My ancestor is the King of Qin, Wang Xianqi!"
Tang Ning nodded, then Wang Zhi can be regarded as a child of a family, since this is the case, it is not surprising that Wang Zhi's various behaviors are not surprising.
It seems that he still wronged him, and it wasn't because he wanted to cling to the powerful to build a house here. That's because he didn't know that Shen Kuo had bought the piece of land next door to him many years ago, and he had always thought that the land was bought by a businessman to wait for appreciation!
Then Tang Ning was surprised: "Wang Xianqi? ”
"Ahh You kid actually called my ancestor by his first name, you really deserve to be beaten! But for the sake of you saving my life, I won't mention this matter anymore, and you will pay attention in the future. Wang Zhi said with a grin.
It was only now that Tang Ning began to face Wang Zhi squarely.
Wang Xianqi, one of the ten brothers of the Yishe, a good buddy and good brother of Song Taizu. After the Zhou Dynasty, he repeatedly made military exploits, and Emperor Gong was promoted to the palace before Yu waiting. At the time of the "Chenqiao Mutiny", he was the same as Shi Shouxin in the capital, which was a proper founding hero.
When Wang Xianqi was sick, Song Taizu went to see him personally, and when he died, he went to his mansion to mourn him bitterly, and stopped the court to mourn him on the day of his burial. The holy family is strong, and it is their family.
Posthumously crowned the King of Qin...... Among the four most honorable titles of Qin, Jin, Qi, and Chu, Qin is the first......
Perhaps it was because of this King of Qin, who would be snatched away by Zhao Defang ten years after Wang Xianqi's death, that the Wang family continued until the end of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Wang Zhi is obviously the heir of the Wang family's generation, and he is also the kind of person whose background is not particularly good...... Otherwise, he would not have gone to Runzhou to be the deputy general of the box soldiers at this time, he should be the general of the forbidden army.
Wang Zhi's age is not very old, and he will be eighteen or nineteen years old when he dies, but his beard is very thick, which makes him look like a man in his twenties. So far, he should have never married a wife, and he has visited Wang Zhi's house several times, but he has never seen the hostess except for the maid.
The family threw him to Runzhou, probably to fend for himself, and the rest didn't think much about it. It's just that he didn't expect that he came to Runzhou before last, and it was only two years before that, and he got mixed with military merits.
The credit for exterminating the Nanshan bandits can be big or small. With the efforts of the Wang family, this credit will definitely become great.
When the reward is down, this guy is about to be promoted, and he is also a general anyway.
"How is it, do you admire my brother and admire me all of a sudden...... What do you mean by that? ”
"It's like a surging river, and it's like the Yellow River flooding and out of control!"
"Yikes! The flooding of the Yellow River can't be said nonsense, that is, my brother and I, and I must never be mentioned by others. Kaifeng Mansion is just below the Yellow River......"
Wang Zhi hurriedly blocked Tang Ning's mouth and whispered in his ear.
Tang Ning blinked his eyes to show that he knew, Wang Zhi let go of his hand, and then took Tang Ning's hand and said, "Brother Tang, since you and I are waiting here is boring, why don't you go into the city with your brother to eat some wine?" ”
Tang Ning also wanted to taste the food of the Song Dynasty, after all, in later generations, the things of the Song Dynasty were delicious and famous.
However, when he arrived at the restaurant, he regretted that the so-called food was nothing more than steamed meat, either steamed or grilled, and even a large piece of meat boiled in plain water.
I don't know what kind of meat it is, it won't be a cow anyway, and this kind of thing can't be slaughtered at will, even if the beef cattle are killed, if the ploughing cow dies, it will have to be reported to the government.
Pork is also unlikely, although Su Dongpo made braised pork with pork, but at this time, most people still think that pork is cheap meat, and they feel that eating this kind of creature rolling in the mud is no different from eating mud directly.
Downing lost his appetite when he looked at that piece of meat, so he wouldn't know what kind of meat it was.
So he ate a roast chicken, a whole one.
Wang Zhi looked at Tang Ning and smiled: "It's still a picky." With that, he ate the piece of boiled meat.
Tang Ning sighed: "There's no way, people live in the world, and that's all there is to it." I don't want to be an official, and I don't have much of a penchant for alcohol, and there are too many women, and I still think it's a burden, so I can only scratch my mouth. ”
After speaking, Tang Ning spit out a piece of chicken neck bone from his mouth, called Xiao Er, got a basin of water to wash his hands, and wiped it clean. I heard Wang Zhi say with great emotion: "When you say this, you don't look like a fifteen-year-old boy at all, but you fall to my father, who has no strength to walk." ”
Tang Ning smiled: "There are too few people in your Wang family who are not officials, and you don't feel ashamed to speak." ”
Wang Zhi shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "There are not as many officials in my Wang family as you imagined, otherwise now above the court, it is the Yiyan Hall of my Wang family." There can only be seven people in a generation who are court officials, this is the rule.
My family has moved away from Bianliang when I was my great-grandfather, and my father, my ancestor, and my great-grandfather were not officials, so I was given the deputy general of the Zhenjiang Army. ”
Tang Ning knew that it was actually easy for the sons of Xungui to become officials, but a big family like the Wang family had to master a degree. Like what Wang Zhi said just now, the emperor will order the Wang officials to be demoted to the edge of the sky before that day.
As for why he didn't raid his house, because the emperor didn't kill the scholars.
After they were full of wine and food, the two decided to go to the street to consume food, and Tang Ning also took this opportunity to familiarize himself with Runzhou City, maybe this is the place where he will live for the rest of his life.
Tang Ning, who combed a simple ponytail, had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and such an offspring looked very aura, so it attracted a high return rate.
Wang Zhi is a few years older than Tang Ning, but he seems to be ten years longer than him. As soon as the tall man followed Tang Ning, someone on the side of the road said to him: "Your little lady is really handsome." ”
Wang Zhi held back a smile and didn't dare to laugh, he looked very annoying, Tang Ning wanted to punch this bearded guy to the ground and couldn't get up again.
