As the wax moon is getting closer and closer, the weather in Jiehe Commercial Market is getting colder day by day.

A few northerly winds blew down, and the ice on the Boundary River was frozen as hard as steel. The thickness has long exceeded three feet, but no matter how thick the ice is, it can't stop the fishermen's enthusiasm for fishing.

I don't know when it began, but every winter when it was frozen, there would be some idle fishermen who carved a large hole in the thick ice, and then used a fishing rod made of bamboo and wood to carp from the hole in the ice. In winter, the Kaihe carp is particularly fatty, and because the temperature is very low, it is not easy to spoil, so it is used to make the best quality of cutting carp, and the price is not cheap. However, for the wealthy people in the Jiehe Commercial Market, as long as they want to eat, no matter how expensive the price is, it is also affordable.

Therefore, every winter, many fishermen brave the cold wind to fish on the frozen boundary river.

However, fishing is not allowed in all places, because the frozen boundary river is also a place for people who love ice and snow to have fun. Artificially dug ice caves can devour people's lives! Therefore, in the section of the river where citizens gather and play, there are special police patrols to watch, and fishermen are forbidden to approach.

Wu Haogu also had a rare time today, changed into casual clothes, took Pan Qiaolian, Ximen Qing, and a few older children, and the whole family went to play on a piece of ice near the Republic Square. However, Olga, Luo Hanwen and Guo Xiaoxiao did not come.

These three women are now pregnant, and they are protecting the baby in the house.

The children's toy is a horse-drawn sleigh, a vehicle that was only used when the boundary river was frozen. Now there are two or three hundred thousand permanent residents in Jiehe Commercial City, and the commodity economy is very developed, no less than Kaifeng and Haizhou. Naturally, some people thought of using sleds to pull goods.

Wu Haogu's villa in the north of Jiehe Shang City happened to be against the water, so there were also a few sleds used by servants to pull goods in winter. Today, I was found by Wanyan Wushu (Wushu has been living in Wuhaogu's house) who came out to play, and he also put on a little mare, became a coachman, and pulled several children of Wuhaogu to play hard. Wu Haogu's eldest son, Wu Yiyong, is a classmate of Wanyan Wushu in Mengxue, he is a big egg, he can ride a horse and shoot arrows, and he is catching up with Wanyan Wushu at this time!

Oh, by the way, this eldest son of Wu Haogu and Wanyan Wushu are good buddies...... Wu Yi Yongmeng is the most naughty child in the school, but Jin Wushu is a good child of Sven Zhili, and his academic performance is also very good. And Wu Haogu's efforts to train Wanyan Wushu into an artist have also achieved some success.

Although Jin Wushu doesn't have much interest in painting (he can paint a little), his musicality is actually good (it is estimated that it is genetic, and his father is a part-time dancer). I can play the huqin, play the Qiang flute, and sing and dance! The best thing is to play the erhu while singing Su Dongpo's "Nian Nu Jiao. Chibi Nostalgia", is not out of tune.

I don't know if this golden vulture will become a literary and artistic worker in the Dajin Kingdom in the future?

The children, a little tired of skin, sat around a sleigh. Jin Wushu took out the erhu, and Wu Yiyong took out the Qiang flute - this kid is much more savage than Jin Wushu, and he is the king of fighting in Mengxue, but he listens to the words of Jin Wushu who is older than him (Jin Wushu does not fight, but will teach Wu Yiyong the ability to fight, so Wu Yiyong especially worships him), and also learned to play the Qiang flute from Yan Po'er, and now he can play an ensemble with Jin Wushu.

"The great river goes east, the waves are exhausted, and the romantic characters ...... through the ages"

Accompanied by the music of "Nian Jiaonu" played by the erhu and Qiang flutes, Jin Wushu began to sing in Henan dialect again.

This scene is really a bit spicy!

Watching the young man play the violin and sing, Wu Haogu couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

"Official, isn't Wang Shilang singing well?" Pan Qiaolian came over from Hebei Qiaoshengsheng at this time and asked Wu Haogu.

The Wang Shilang in her mouth is the Golden Vulture. The surname Wanyan means "king" in the Jurchen language, so after the two brothers, Aguta and Wuyashu, converted to Tianli, they took "Wang" as the Han surname of the Hushui Wanyan Department.

The Han name of Wu Yashu is Wang Ya, the Han name of Aguda is Wang Min, and the Han names of the sons of Aguda are all Zongzi generations, and the golden vulture is called Wang Zongbi, because of Xingsi, also known as Wang Shilang and Wang Sige.

"Okay, very good," Wu Hao Gu said, "The fourth brother is very literate, maybe he can win the top prize in the future." ”

Wu Haogu's prophecy later came true, and Jin Wuxuan really won the champion after surgery...... It is the first champion of Daikin Country! It was his father who made it to his heart.

Pan Qiaolian didn't come alone, but also brought a group of servants and Ximen Qing, among which there were two servants holding a pestle, which was what later generations said as Maza, unfolded and placed on the ice, Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian sat on it one by one. Ximen Qing stood behind the two, but her eyes were firmly fixed on her precious son Wu Yiyong.

Pan Qiaolian also took the warm hot soup from the servants, which was packed in a copper hand pot wrapped in satin, which could not only be drunk, but also used to warm hands. Pan Qiaolian handed the copper hand pot in her hand to Wu Haogu, then took another one herself, leaned against her husband's side, and smiled slightly: "Wang Shilang is indeed a seed of reading, and it would be good if our eldest brother had half of his hard work." ”

"Big brother is okay, right?" Wu Haogu smiled, "It's just that there is no fourth brother's literary talent." ”

Wu Yiyong is a bit of a science, arithmetic is very good, literature is a little worse, Confucianism is mixed, music and painting are good, martial arts are the best, almost on par with Jin Wushu. And because Jin Wushu is older and more sensible, he also works hard in his studies, and his grades in all subjects are very good. In particular, literature and Confucianism are quite good, and they can be compared with those children of famous schools. If I choose the left list Jinshi as the goal, I may be able to really go high school.

"It's better to hurry up," Pan Qiaolian said, "I'm going to enter primary school in two years, although I don't have to worry about not being able to enter Sikai Academy, but ......."

"You don't have to enter the Sikai Academy," Wu Haogu interrupted his wife, "Enter the Knight Elementary School." ”

"Knight Elementary?" Pan Qiaolian was stunned, "That's a young military school......"

Knight Primary School is also a academy that teaches the six arts, but it focuses on martial arts and military science, and implements strict militarized management. Entering the Knight Primary School is equivalent to joining the army.

Because it is the counterpart of the Knight Academy, there should be a high proportion of students who enter the Knight Elementary School to become students of the Knight Academy, and they will become professional soldiers in the future.

"Next year will be 1108......," Wu Haogu muttered in a low voice, "seven or eight years to go...... It seems that Knight Elementary School will have to shorten the curriculum to four years. ”

If nothing else, Wu Yiyong and Wang Zongbi should have entered the Knight Primary School in 1110, the Knight Academy in 1114, and graduated in 1118. In the event of a war, it can be advanced by a year. It should be possible to catch up with the Battle of Pingliao.

"Da Lang, what are you talking about?" Pan Qiaolian asked a little puzzled.

"It's nothing," Wu Haogu smiled, "I think Yong'er is a martial artist, and it would be too difficult for him to take the Zuobang Jinshi exam, so it would be better to join the army." Eldest sister, did you say? ”

"That's right!" Ximen Qing responded, "Xin'er and Brother Tie are similar, they are both martial artists. ”

Wu Yixin and Wu Tiege entered Mengxue a year later than Wu Yiyong, and it is not surprising that they should have graduated from the Knight Academy in 1119.

"Are you all in the army?" Pan Qiaolian frowned slightly, her son Yijiu is still young and has not yet been enlightened, but looking at Wu Haogu's godson route, will he also be taught to be a martial artist?

"Of course they won't all join the army." Wu Haogu knew Pan Qiaolian's thoughts, "Jiu'er has been weak since she was a child, and I'm afraid she won't be able to endure the hardships of the military." ”

Pan Qiaolian breathed a sigh of relief, and did not continue to discuss the issue of children's education with her husband, but turned the topic to Wu Haowen.

"Da Lang, what's the matter with the second uncle? The New Year's Festival just went to Qingchi County. ”

Of course, Wu Haowen and his brother are in trouble, but Wu Haogu will not say this to Pan Qiaolian, but just smiled: "He has a lot of things, Cangzhou Prefecture is going to move to Nanpi, to build a new city in Nanpi, and to send military service in Cangzhou...... You've got to do a good job! ”

Cangzhou has benefited from the great development of Jiehe Commercial City, and it has also expanded in recent years. Moreover, there are many knights in the territory, many of whom have obtained official bodies. Within a state, there are officials everywhere and countless wealthy people. The original Qingchi County was too shabby to be a state governor. Therefore, the pacification envoy of Gaoyangguan Road made a concert last year, proposing to move Cangzhou Prefecture to Nanpi County on the edge of the Yellow River flowing north, and build a city in Nanpi to open a market. Now that Zhao Ji has approved this suggestion, the specific implementation will fall on Wu Haowen.

That's a lot of credit for nothing! Wu Haowen is also the commander of the sea route, he can use the resources of Jiehe Shang City, and it is not like playing to build a county seat? Do you need to be so anxious to go to Qingchi County after the New Year?

Pan Qiaolian is from a big family, and she has long been accustomed to seeing the intrigue in the mansion, how can she not see that the two brothers are not getting along? And she could vaguely guess why...... It must be for the sake of the family's old three martial arts virtues! But what can be done about this? It's hard to say.

When the scene was a little embarrassing, Wu Chenglan, who was guarding the riverbank, came over at a trot, and only then did he whisper when he arrived at Wu Haogu's side: "Xuan Shuai, my seventh brother and his family have arrived." ”

Wu Chenglan's seventh brother is the one who successfully started a business in Haizhou and became an agricultural capitalist Wu Chengchang. It was Wu Haogu who invited him to Jiehe Shang City for the New Year, and by the way, there was a very important dispatch to be sent to him.

"Your seventh brother is my seventh uncle!" Wu Haogu stood up, "Okay, let's stop here today...... Let's all go and meet with Uncle Seven's family. Eldest sister, you go to arrange a banquet and go to the Luoyang water banquet. ”
