"Playing Song"/Chunxi Di Xiao

Chapter 2

In the winter of the sixth year of Qingli, the first snow fell in Kaifeng early. A ox cart crossed the moat and drove towards Nanxunmen. The guards guarding the city stood upright in the snow in armor and even though the wind and snow were piled on their shoulders, they did not raise their hands to sweep. The guards responsible for the inspection method checked the "ID cards" of those who entered the city in an orderly manner and conducted security checks for them one by one.

There were three people sitting in the ox cart, one was a literary scholar, the other was a young woman holding a bun of women; the last one was a boy three or four years old. His hair was not shaved like an ordinary child, and his clothes were neatly worn, looking very well-behaved.

This family came back from Renman, Yangzhou. The literati named Wang Anshi. He has been a judge in Yangzhou for the past three years as a Huainan judge. He is probably the secretary of the General Office of the Yangzhou Municipal Government. It is a very good position for new officials who have just been admitted to the state civil servants. Unfortunately, Wang Anshi and his leader Han Qi are not very good at dealing with them, and they have been working very hard in the past three years.

This three or four-year-old boy is naturally the king. The king grew up in chaos and could speak, and learned the Song Dynasty's Mandarin from scratch. He grew up with Wang Anshi in Yangzhou, and was young, and had no references around him. He could only grop and learn, so as not to accidentally act too advanced and be burned by someone as a monster.

Wang's caution once made his mother Wu very worried. He felt that he had given birth to a silly son, speaking slower than others, walking slower than others, and not crying or making trouble. He sat in a daze every day (Wang occasionally secretly spread out his books to recognize words, and it looked like he was in a daze).

If someone else gave birth to a stupid son, he would definitely cry and wash his face with tears. Wu was not. Wu was worried about the king's "developmental delay" for a while, so he thought it open, but he hurt the king and treated him as his eyes!

Wu's personality is both cheerful and fierce. Even Wang Anshi dares to scratch his head when he protects his son. Wang lives happily under her wings, and no one can bully him. Gradually, he becomes more and more lively.

The king also carries the memories of his previous life. He was smart since childhood and his parents had high expectations for him, so he had high requirements and strict management. He had to spend all his time studying, and if he lost a point in the exam, he would be scolded for the previous week.

After Wang enjoyed the full range of care from Wu, how could he be a happy "fool" smartly? Wang Anshi wanted to enlighten him. He followed him obediently, but after learning ten, he only showed one point. It's enough to be smart and talented, so why do you perform so well?

Anyway, after Wang knew that his father was named Wang Anshi, he made up his mind to enjoy his life. Who is Wang Anshi? The future boss! He is not a history student, and he doesn’t know much about Wang Anshi, and only knows one thing: his father will become the prime minister in the future!

What does this mean? This means that he can be the most awesome second generation in the Song Dynasty in the future. His father is the most powerful boss in the court. Since he has no worries in the future, the king's previous life's enthusiasm for professionalism has disappeared. It's great to rely on the big tree to enjoy the cool!

Compared to studying hard in this Song Dynasty, Wang was more inclined to eat, drink, play and enjoy life.

This time, he followed his father to Beijing, and Wang had another thing to figure out: Did Sima Yan come here like him? If so, where was Sima Yan born?

Thinking of the unfriendly nature of ancient society to women, Wang couldn't help but feel sorry for Sima Yan. It would be fine if he was born in a wealthy family, but it would be miserable if he was born in a poor family, and all the conditions would be poor.

However, the surname Sima reminded the king of a person: Sima Guang.

Sima Guang, his father's future political enemy, the kind that fights to the end. Their propositions are completely opposite, but their tempers are the same. One is called the Aoxianggong, and the other is scolded by Su Dongpo as Sima Niu. Look, it is an irreconcilable mortal enemy!

Fortunately, Sima Guang and his father should not have become enemies during this period. The king didn’t know how many Sima’s surnames were in this era, nor did he know if Sima Guang was in the capital at this time, but he had come here, so he had to look for it and try his luck. What if he found it?

Wang's eyes rolled around.

The ox cart stopped at the city gate, and Wang jumped out of the car with his short legs and followed Wu for examination. As long as the child of Wang was clean, he was cute as long as he was clean, Wang was no exception. Wang walked with Xue and lined up next to Wu, and the people in front and behind would inevitably praise Wang Anshi: "The son is so handsome."

Wang Anshi is only twenty-six years old, so he doesn’t care if he gets a son early? He pretends to be modest: “How can a child of three or four years old tell whether he is handsome or not?”

Although Wang Anshi was a little unkempt, his figure was as handsome as a pine tree, and his heroic figure was even better than others. His face looked a little darker, but his facial features were upright and had a bit of straightforward appearance. Anyone who saw it would praise him for his talent.

The people around Wang for a while, and finally it was their turn to enter the city. After Wu's examination, it was Wang Anshi's turn, but Wang jumped forward and raised his hands to look serious, "You check, I guarantee I won't bring any dangerous things."

The guards in charge of the inspection were amused by him. The little kid should have checked. There had been guys who hid things on the child and tried to get through the barrier and brought them into the city. The guards checked the king up and down, saying that there was no problem at all. He had a very good attitude and asked the king to go back to his mother quickly.

After Wang Anshi received the examination, he took his wife and children to find a place to live.

As officials who are waiting for new positions in Beijing, they can rent "public rental housing" funded by the government at a very low price. Most of the public rental housing is located near the Imperial College, and it is very convenient to rent it with your ID documents. You can move in with your luggage.

After Wang Anshi's family of three went to register for rent after checking the house. According to the rent, the house was divided into three levels. Wang Anshi had just entered the officialdom for a few years, and his mother was the father's successor, while his father was gone in the early years. The family could not provide much support, and he was short of money and his official position was not particularly high, so he had to choose the worst house.

This house is very small, without a yard, and only a box is divided into one room, which is similar to a single room for later generations. Along the way, Wang could only occasionally rely on his sweet mouth, cute face and take a shower with a sweet face. He felt that his body was smelly, so he put down his luggage and urged Wang Anshi: "Go and take a shower!"

Wang Anshi is the least fond of taking a shower, especially on this cold day, how cold it is when he takes off his clothes. He said with a thumbs-down: "Don't go, don't mess around."

Seeing Wang Anshi's refusal, Wang changed his mind and found Wu, and shamelessly acted cute and shaking her arm: "Mom, go take a shower."

Wu’s everything is good, but he just dotes on his son unconditionally. She pulled Wang Anshi and said, “It’s not bad for this amount of money, just take him there! He likes to be clean, and his body is dirty and he doesn’t feel comfortable sleeping at night.”

"Yes!" Wang Zhi nodded, "There will be lice!"

Speaking of lice, it was really a nightmare for Wang. He slept with Wang Anshi and the others two years ago. Although he didn't fully remember the events of his previous life, he was much precocious than other children. One morning, he opened his eyes and suddenly saw lice that were only bulging and bulging on the pillow, and he was about to climb to his side!

Wow, lice! Although Wang was forced to study every day when he was a child, his living conditions had never been different, so he had never seen lice!

The source of lice is his father.

His father didn't like taking a bath the most. Once, his mother saw that his father had a dark face and was very bad. She was afraid that his father would get sick after staying up late to read books, so she secretly called the neighbor doctor to see his father. After the neighbor doctor saw it, she shook her head and said, "I'm not sick, my face is because I didn't wash my face, and there is too much dirt accumulation."

Wang didn't know what to say. The conditions were poor and he couldn't take a bath every day. Wang also tolerated it, but his father didn't even wash his face. What could he say? Wang couldn't bear it. Since he could walk and grow teeth, he insisted on getting up every morning to brush his teeth and wash his face. He also pulled his father with a fierce look on his face. Of course, it's unknown whether his father would hear it because he was fierce enough or too cute.

Anyway, one day when his father didn't wash his face, he would sniff and cover his father's face with cold water early in the morning, waking him up coldly.

At this moment, Wang Anshi saw that his wife and children had decided, and wanted to struggle again: "Then you go, I'll just read the book at home."

"No," Wang firmly disagreed, with a serious face, "I am a real man and can't go to the women's bathhouse."

Wang Anshi had no choice but to bring money to go out with his wife and children. Kaifeng was very prosperous and there were many bathhouses. Wang Anshi's family of three went out with their clothes changing. Before they could go out, they saw a shop with a pot hanging at the door.

This is the symbol of the "bath center" of the Song Dynasty. Wang hugged his small clothes and ran in and asked the price first. Kaifeng is the capital, and the price is high. When they were in Yangzhou, they could wash it for three to five cents, which cost ten cents here. However, the store said that they would give it to the pancreas, which is the prototype of soap, and they could use it to wipe the body and wash your hair.

When Wang saw Wang Anshi heard the price, he wanted to leave, so he quickly cut the price with the store. I saw that the other store was cheaper, and whether it would be cheaper for all three to wash it. Wang Ren was not as tall as the cabinet in front of him, so he could only stand on tiptoe and discuss with the store: "Get a 50% off or 60% off!"

The store owner was surprised: "What is 50% off?"

"It's just a discount," Wang's eyes were bright, so cute. He tried hard to give an example to the store, "For example, 50% off for ten cents is 50 cents!"

"Oh, you can count it so little, and this statement is quite fresh." The store owner said, "Then calculate it for me, how much does it cost to calculate the family of three?"

"Do you give us a 50% discount?" Wang refused to bargain.

"Okay, you count." The store owner is about the same age as Wang Anshi, and he also has a son of this age at home, so he likes the clever and cute Wang very much.

"Fifteen articles!" Wang directly reported the number. After he reported it, he turned around and urged Wang Anshi, "Dad, give the money!"

The store owner felt even more surprised. The child asked the price himself throughout the whole process, and he probably didn't know the price before. Such a small doll was so fast! The store owner took the fifteen cents handed over by Wang Anshi and praised Wang Anshi: "The son is so smart."

Wang Anshi was originally reluctant to spend money to take a bath, but he felt relieved after hearing the shop owner praise the queen. However, he would not show it. People who are fathers should be calm and calm! This kid in his family is too naughty, and someone praises him, but he doesn't lift his tail up to the sky? So Wang Anshi said disapprovingly: "He is very naughty."
