Chengdu Mansion, Song family.

Looking at the building of the lake, the drizzle, today, the two people sitting by the window have solemn faces, although they are not full of sadness, this originally elegant atmosphere, but because of the two people's posture and become depressed.

There were seven or eight servants, dressed in green clothes and wearing small hats, all of them came up from downstairs cautiously, holding food, water and wine in their hands, and placed them on the jade table one by one.

The Lord is like this, and they are extremely careful not to make the slightest mistake.

There were a few musicians, playing quiet music, in the partition of this small building, through the curtain, the sound of music came dingdong.

But the two sat silently until the servants had laid out the food and wine, and one of the white-bearded men waved his hand and said lightly, "Go down, I won't speak, and no one will come up." ”

He looked at the curtain and said, "You also go down for the time being." ”

"No!" the servants, along with the musicians, all bowed their bows and then withdrew.

The sound of footsteps faded away, and the second floor was quiet again.

Upstairs at this time, only the two brothers remained, the aroma of wine filled the air, the food was also fragrant and attractive, the window was open, although it was sometimes a hot summer, but the second floor was high, but from time to time there was a thin breeze blowing in, sweeping away all the stuffiness on the first floor.

On the lake in the distance, there are many fewer talented and beautiful people, but the lake seems to be bright.

At such times, even if you love to play tricks, you also know that walking and sweating in the hot summer season is by no means a good time for the long clothes in the book to be fluttering and full of romance.

Occasionally, the music on the cruise ship came, and it was also a little hot, and it was dull and panicked.

Song Heng raised his head and looked at his brother, but saw that his brother's expression was indifferent, and he only turned his head to look at the lake in the distance, with no expression on his face, which made outsiders unable to see his joy and anger for a while.

Brother Mo Ruo, he and Song Hannai are brothers of the same father and mother, and they have had a good relationship since childhood, like him, they can distinguish what emotions the other party is.

The other party suddenly called himself over today, although he was drinking and talking, but he didn't have any joy at all.

He had the intention to talk about other topics, but at this time, he really didn't dare to speak.

Since learning that Wang Shoutian had a flat wife, his brother Song Han has been unhappy, which made Song Heng, who had intended to promote this matter, really uneasy.

Thinking of the rumors in the market now, Song Heng really wanted to arrest Wang Shoutian and teach him a good lesson.

My niece, how virtuous and intelligent is she, isn't she as good as a commoner woman?

Originally, after his nephew returned, he thought that his family should not drag the marriage like this, and the other party naturally knew the intention, so why not divorce the flat wife as soon as possible?

No matter how good that woman is, in terms of family background, knowledge, and appearance, she must be inferior to her niece, and some ambitious men are also very smooth in their decisions.

Until now, there was still no news from Jishui County, and his heart began to be depressed.

It is really stupid to scold this Wang surnamed Xiao'er in his heart!

If he knew this was the case, he shouldn't have contributed to this in the first place!

It actually caused the Song family to become a joke in this Shu land!

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and when Song Han turned around, he saw the expression of his brother.

Seeing this, Song Han smiled.

Only in this smile, there was a lot of helplessness: "Second brother, you say, my Song family, is it really decaying in the hands of my brother?"

Turning the amber cup in his hand, Song Han asked with some self-deprecation.

This small cup is extremely exquisite, but it was cherished by the Marquis of Wei in the previous dynasty, and it was absolutely priceless when placed outside, but with such a cup to drink, he still didn't feel how sweet the wine was.

"Big brother, why do you say this?" When had Song Heng seen the appearance of the eldest brother, and hurriedly said: "The eldest brother has good means, the Song family is in the hands of the eldest brother, and it has always developed, why did you suddenly say this?"

"I'm really uneasy for my brother. Song Han sighed rarely, and said gloomily: "I think my Song family, who migrated here hundreds of years ago, is the Shu clan, and even the state pastor does not dare to look down on it, but now...... But now, my Song family has become a joke on the streets, which really glooms my brother's heart!"

As he spoke, he drank all the wine in his cup.

Song Han's mood was depressed, which made Song Heng more and more dissatisfied with Wang Shoutian in his heart.

"Big brother, it's just that the Wang family is stupid, why should the eldest brother care so much for an ignorant child? If he refuses to divorce that flat wife, my Song family will not allow this marriage, anyway, if this marriage contract has not been formalized, it will not be allowed, how can this Wang family tolerate my Song family?"

Song Han shook his head and smiled faintly: "You, don't you think that I am only angry with that Wang family child?"

"What's the matter, the eldest brother is not just unhappy about this marriage?" Song Han's words surprised Song Heng, he always thought that the eldest brother was worried about Wang Shoutian's affairs.

Song Han poured himself another drink, and sighed: "The poor and lowly friends must not be forgotten, and the wife of the bad chaff does not go to the court. ”

"Second brother, think about it, if he hides it and doesn't say it, what can you and I do when this matter is officially decided? Could it be that it can really ruin the marriage contract? If this is the case, the reputation of my Song daughter's reputation will be ruined. What other faces, walk in this Shu land again?"

Seeing Song Heng's contemplative expression, he raised his head and drank another glass of wine, and a chill appeared in his eyes: "I'm angry, but there are two points, the first is that this Wang family child is unwilling to depreciate, and the second is these people who tell the truth." ”

"What the eldest brother is referring to is the person who caused the rumors in the market?" Song Heng was a little bit, and he immediately understood.

"Exactly, this Wang family child is Wang Zunzhi's intended heir, although it has not been disclosed, this has eyes, but it can be seen that originally, such a young man, after some deeds, is also worthy of my family. ”

"Now, the entire Shu region knows that this is not only the Wang family's children, but also the prestige of my Song family. ”

"These two things, one table and one inside, the former can't make this Wang family kid decide, and the latter has no scruples, which proves that the prestige and prestige of my Song family are not as good as before, and I am depressed in my heart!"

"If it is a hundred years in the morning, who would dare to act like this to my Song family?"

"Big brother, what you said is right, it's just not your fault, now is a troubled time, martial arts have always been in charge, although my Song family has connections, gold and silver, and there is no decline, but the end of the world has changed. ”

Listening to his younger brother's words, Song Han also sighed again: "What you said is right, so I hesitated, if it was a hundred years ago, the son of a town marshal, no matter how good it was, if this happened, I shouldn't have done it." ”

"Now that the martial arts are in charge, we must find a person in charge of the military as a backing, but now the town marshal, either old, or already have a match, no heir to his wife, and would rather find a family background with more political interests, now it is difficult to find a suitable candidate!"

This is also one of the reasons why Song Han has never officially refused, but as long as there is a place to turn, he doesn't want to simply refuse it, but this room for turn is a little difficult.

"The child of the Wang family is a kind person!" Although he was annoyed that Wang Shoutian did not stop his wife, this act made Song Han, who also had a daughter, a little emotional.

If this affection can fall on his daughter, it can be regarded as finding a lover for You'er.

In such troubled times, there are many aspirants who divorce their wives and remarry for the sake of their future.

In Song Han's view, this is not impossible.

But if the other party is his own uncle, it is a different feeling.

Even if he is the head of a big clan, how can he not feel sorry for his daughter as a father?

Now, we have to wait and see.

Thinking of the secret report he received a few days ago, Song Han squinted his eyes.

I heard the second brother Song Heng say: "Heavy affection, if this troubled world is too long-natured, how can you provoke a big responsibility?"

Song Han nodded, but agreed with this: "A few days ago, I received a secret report that this Jishui County and Nataisu County are constantly rubbing off, and I am afraid that there will be a war." ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Song Heng was stunned, and then snorted coldly: "This Wang family has not been in charge of the army for a long time, and Jishui County has just recovered, but Taisu County has been in business for a long time, do you really dare to fight this battle?"

"You don't underestimate the Wang family's children, if it weren't for his previous actions, you and I wouldn't value him so much, this time, it's up to him to see if he can bring surprises. Stroking his long beard, Song Han whispered.

"Could it be that the eldest brother still has the intention of marrying the Wang family?" Song Heng said questioningly when he saw this.

Song Han neither answered yes nor no, but said lightly: "In the troubled times, those who can become heroes will definitely bless the people, such a person is rare to meet in a hundred years, it only depends on whether he has this potential." ”

"This matter, the little brother will make people pay attention, if there is news, it is better to make a decision as soon as possible!" Song Heng pondered for a moment, and at this time he also understood the eldest brother's thoughts.

If this Wang Shoutian has the upper hand in the war, then this marriage will naturally fail.

But this kid won, and he can show that this kid is not bad, and there is still a chance for this marriage.

Although he has a flat wife, when he really achieves great things in the future, what are these things?

At this time, the dish was a little cold, it was June, the two brothers didn't care, so they didn't talk about it anymore, and the two began to push the cup and call the lamp.

Among them, some of them are borrowing wine to kill their sorrows, and some of them are venting their pleasures, but they are unknown to outsiders.

Taisu County

After storming the city gates, almost no resistance was met, and the hundred soldiers surrendered.

At dusk, a team of thousands of people had arrived, and Wang Shoutian, supported by the generals, inspected the entire Taisu County.

Taisu County was originally the base of the capital of Sichuan, and now the capital of Sichuan has finally been exterminated.

The booty had thirty war horses, which together could build a small pasture, and the bows and arrows could be used to equip a thousand people, and there was still a batch of three hundred taels of gold.

This batch of gold, only after asking about it, I knew that it was a rampant expropriation, and even a family extermination.

Wang Shoutian did not have the joy he expected, he saw that there were many homeless people in the county, and some were starving to death on the street.

It was an old man and a little girl, starving to death in the street.

When the generals saw him staring at the bones on the ground, they had to wait patiently.

Wang Shoutian said with a wry smile: "On the battlefield, either you die or I die, I have never felt it, and I always feel panicked when I see this." ”

The generals hurriedly said: "Lord, now that this county is under your control, naturally there will be no such tragedy." ”

Wang Shoutian sighed and said: "People are not plants and trees, there are some feelings, you listen to my orders." ”

The generals promised: "No!"

"First, the burial of corpses should be restricted, and the streets and within five miles outside the city should not be seen in the wilderness. ”

"Second, count the grain depots, open warehouses to release grain, and when the grain is released, register the displaced people one by one, transport them back to Jishui County, and enrich the household registration. ”

"Third, report the battle report to the commander and the whole town. ”

The generals responded in unison, all of them awe-inspiring, and did not dare to disobey.
