The king tossed and turned all night, and finally fell asleep and woke up again from a dream. He was enjoying the warm winter quilt and was too lazy to do it.

I really miss the heated room, even though there is no shortage of coal in the house, but the ancients did not have the habit of sealing the stove, and the coal will burn out naturally when it is fully burned. Wang Pang always thinks about finding a blacksmith when he has time to build a stove according to modern people's habits.

At least the temperature will continue to grow a bit.

The fire in the stove had been extinguished long ago when I woke up. Only the bed was warm. I really don’t know if it’s cold over there under the moon. It would be much warmer if two people could hug each other. I felt like I was waking up but not waking up.

In the midst of it, He Libo actually called out to him.

He jumped out of bed but felt the cold around him. He opened the door latch for He Libo, and Wang Pang hurriedly got back under the quilt: "Brother, it's too early for you."

He Libo sat down on the chair: "It's getting late. It's been a long time since you practiced Kung Fu." [

Only then did Wang Pang remember that, not to mention the daily practice that Di Qing had urged him to do, he even forgot the moves that Zhang Yi had taught him in the Xingyi Sword Technique. He hurriedly got up and got dressed. The two of them came.

When he went to the garden and was exercising his muscles, Wang Pian noticed that He Libo was absent-minded and thoughtful.

A corner of the garden of the Meyer Mansion has been rebuilt by Wang Pang into a slightly spacious place, which is enough for him to stretch his muscles and practice the sword practice. Seeing that his muscles and bones were almost stretched, Wang Pang walked through the sword skills, and his body was already warm.

After a while, I looked at He Libo again. He was holding his own knife and doing right and left moves, but he didn't seem to be so focused.

Wang Pang looked at him like this. He Libo was just swinging his sword based on the moves in his mind, and didn't even notice that he had walked closer to Wang Pang. When a white light came down from the sword, he realized that there was someone in front of him.

Wang Pang didn't pay much attention at all, but suddenly he saw He Libo approaching, he slashed him with his sword, and hurriedly blocked it with his sword. With just this blow, a section of He Libo's sword was cut off.

Both of them were so frightened that they broke out in a sweat.

There was a cut on Wang Pang's clothes for some reason. He Libo hurriedly wrote: "Brother, you are not hurt, are you?" Wang Pang also hurriedly insisted whether he was hurt. While looking at him, he said: "Brother, what are you doing?

What's wrong."

He Libo sighed: "I never told you, but I always felt that Li Enxi didn't look like a Liao or Song person."

Wang Pang was immediately surprised, but he didn't seem too surprised: "I think she looks like a Korean. By the way, Brother He, how did you pick her up?"

The two simply stopped practicing and walked into the hall while chatting. He Libo said: "Didn't I say that I met a fellow villager in Jizhou, Daliao, and then I asked him to bring some household supplies to my family? Then he would rush

The mountain ahead was blocked by heavy snow, so I turned back to Song Dynasty."

"This eldest brother has mentioned it before," Wang Pang said.

"When I was traveling to Mozhou, I happened to hear a woman shouting on the roadside. I saw two men pulling this woman, oh, it was Li Enxi. I became anxious at that time, so I went over and beat the two men away."

"Then you didn't ask her why she was being pulled?"

"Of course I asked. She said she ran away from home because she was spotted by someone and forced to marry her as a concubine. She also said she wanted to go to Bianjing to look for relatives and friends. Seeing how pitiful she said, I came with her all the way."

The two of them said that and walked into the hall. Breakfast was already placed on the dining table. Xiao Lu and his wife, Yue Xia and Liu Qi were already waiting for them.

The maid prepared water for washing, and the two of them washed their hands and sat at the table. He Libo also stopped talking. Yuexia saw that Wang Pang's clothes were scratched and asked, "How did you get this shirt?"

Wang Pang said: "I accidentally hung it on a tree. I'll go back and find someone to correct it for Liu Qi." Liu Qi spit out his native tongue.

Yuexia smiled and said, "It's just right. I'll go back and take it to Granny Ao." Wang Pian looked at Yuexia while eating breakfast and asked, "Who is Granny Ao."

Yuexia said with a smile: "Don't ask, it will save you a lot of trouble." If you don't want to ask, don't ask. Anyway, she might be a girl from a poor family.

Wang Pang took a sip of water and rice and said, "I think you should just go with my master. I think his "Tuantou" has a successor."

Xiao Lu said with a smile: "If the tuan leader is also hereditary, or passed down from generation to generation, the young master will be the true heir."[

Yan Zhihu also replied: "I have heard from the maids in my house that this grandma is a well-known person even if she is down and out two or three years ago. I guess if you saw her when she was young, you would definitely eat.

I can’t bear it anymore.”

He Libo picked up a piece of steamed bun and asked, "But is it ugly?"

Yuexia laughed happily and ignored him. Yanzhihu said: "Let's see who we compare with. Miss Yuexia is uglier, but if she is better than me and Miss Li Enxi, she is much prettier." Lu Shenyan poked her: "How do you talk?

, I am better than you, why should I be better than Miss Li?"

Yan Zhihu glared at him: "I'm worried about Miss Li and I haven't said anything yet. You have to comment first." He Libo chuckled. Lu Shenyan said hurriedly: "I mean, how can you compare with my Tiger Girl?

You can't compare to the three girls in terms of beauty, at least not in terms of life experience."

Liu Qi put down his bowl and drank his own small bowl of water and rice and said, "You guys don't care about the children here, I'm going to read a book." After saying that, he went out with his hands behind his back like a little adult.

Wang Pang shook his head: "You see, this child is spoiled by Yue Xia. I will give it to Yuanze immediately. He doesn't look like a **-year-old child. He looks like a little old man. I guess Yuanze likes it."

Yuexia smiled: "Isn't your adoptive father doting on you like this?" She hit the point, but Wang Pang didn't know what to say. He turned around and asked, "How old is this grandma? Many people don't.

It's better to tell it to Brother He."

Lu Shenyan and Yan Zhihu both waved their hands, "No, no, no, no."

Wang Pang saw their expressions of panic and became curious: "Could it be that they were disfigured?"

"That's not true, but... Hey, Miss Yuexia is always sympathetic to others. All the needlework she has is given to the old lady." Yan Zhihu said.

It turned out that Grandma Ao and Jiao Guiying were originally famous prostitutes, but later met Wang Kui, a scholar. Wang Kui failed in the exam and fell into poverty. Jiao Guiying took pity on her talent and appearance, took her back to the brothel, and gave her a jade fan pendant as a token of love.

, become husband and wife.

In order to prevent Wang Kui from neglecting his studies, Jiao Guiying used his personal savings to support him in continuing to study poetry. Two years later, he supported Wang Kui again. Jiao Guiying was deeply in love and asked Wang Kui to collect the jade fan pendant. Wang Kui also swore to God that he would never

Change of heart.

When the examination results were released, Wang Kui entered the gold medal list and won the top prize. Unexpectedly, he was greedy for power and wealth, so he took the jade fan pendant as a betrothal gift and entered it into the palace of Prime Minister Han, and sent his family members to divorce Jiao Guiying with two hundred taels of silver and a letter.

Jiao Guiying was so resentful that she hanged herself. After being rescued, she seemed to be asleep and could not be awakened. Not long after, Wang Kui died inexplicably.

Many people said that Jiao Guiying's soul left her body and killed Wang Kui during those few days. From then on, the girl stopped accepting guests and made a living by helping people weave cloth.

When Wang Pang heard this story, he smiled and said: "I think Yue Xia and my master Zhang Yi will be the head of the group."

Yuexia said: "If this is a master-disciple inheritance, the leader of the beggar gang is not yours." After speaking, he covered his mouth and nose and laughed.

Wang Pangxin said, then I might as well get a dog-beating stick and become the leader of the Beggar Gang. Lu Shenyan said aside: "Today is the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, a colorful day on Lantern Mountain. Do you want to go and see it later?"

Wang Pang saw that breakfast was almost done, so he said: "That's good, I just want to send Liu Qi over."

He led Liu Qi out of the house and strolled to Bianjing Street. Since the winter solstice before and after New Year's Eve, the city of Bianjing has been tied up with mountain sheds and erected facing Xuande Tower; Donghua has gates on the left and right, east and west turrets, city gate avenues, and the palace.

When looking at the temples, they have set up mountain sheds.

The mountain shed is a tall wooden frame used to put up lanterns for the Lantern Festival. It is shaped like a mountain forest, so it is called a mountain shed. On the seventh day of the first lunar month, the lanterns on the mountain are decorated with gold and jade, and the splendid scenery intersects. Facing the north, it is all decorated with colorful knots.

People who paint stories about gods and goddesses, or people who sell medicine or divination in the market

Seeing that Bianjing was being decorated, they heard that on the day of the Lantern Festival, the emperor would also come out to watch the lanterns, and everyone was even more excited. Only He Libo was a little unhappy. Rouge Tiger teased him, maybe he could meet his sweetheart at the Lantern Festival.

Wang Pang sent Liu Qi to Yuan Ze, and Yuan Ze liked it. It didn't matter how young he was, the child was still very discerning. He served tea and poured water, sharpened ink and dipped his pen, and even prepared a few books that Yuan Ze could read.

Everything can be done.

Wang Pang knew that this child had been with Zhang Yi since he was a child, and it was Zhang Yi who taught him to read and do these things. It seemed that he had already planned to find him a richer family to be a book boy when he was older.

Yuanze saw that Wang Pang had little free time today, so he wanted to drag Wang Pang to the street. Wang Pang had just slipped around for a long time and was too lazy to get out. Yuanze said: "You have to go to Jianzhou after the first lunar month. I will go to Jianzhou in the past few days."

I specially visited a tea shop for you, and today I will take you to one we have never been to on weekdays."

Hearing what Yuanze said, Wang Pang knew that Yuanze was always thinking about his own affairs, and thought that he should think about going to Jianzhou to run errands anyway. He agreed to Yuanze, and Yuanze said, it would be better to call Zhongzhen together.

Order someone to ask Zhong Zhen to meet at the Immortal Cave.

This is the first time Wang Pang has heard of this name, and he was preparing to visit some street tea shops recently. When it comes to this matter, Wang Pang also has a headache. He also heard that Cai Xiang, the prefect of Jianzhou, knows a lot about tea.

It is exquisite, and it has been a tribute to good tea for many years, and even Emperor Zong praised it highly. If you suddenly ask yourself to do it, won't you steal the limelight from others?

The two brothers were walking and chatting. Yuan Ze said: "If you need to worry about it, Mr. Cai is a scholar and a scholar. Besides, he is not in the business of selling tea. All the tea he uses is used as tribute and is specially given to the emperor."

, the concubines, ministers, guards, etc. in this palace, it is not enough to expect that little tribute."

Wang listened to Yuan Ze's words and breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "The emperor ordered me to provide fragrant cakes the day before yesterday. I was still thinking about it. I don't know how much it should be. I am planning to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to inquire about it in the near future."

Yuan Ze smiled: "Then it's even more right that I made an appointment with Zhong Zhen for you today. He often goes in and out of the palace."
