The five hundred and fortieth chapters overflow when the water is full
The brilliance of the sun gradually appeared on the horizon. When the first ray of sunlight finally shined through the faint mist on the city of Tokyo, the bells on the Xuande Tower rang on time, and then various bells on the turrets sounded the same tune.
Rhythm.
With the sound of the palace bells, the entire city of Tokyo wakes up to the sound of the bells of various temples and Taoist temples, and countless businesses start a busy day like hard-working worker ants.
Vendors walking along the streets pushed carts and shouted loudly selling hot noodle soup. The water transport ships on the Wuzhang River and the Bian River slowly sailed in from Xishuimen, transporting boatloads of goods to Tokyo City and the Fish Street of Xishuimen.
It is full of fresh river fresh food, and the slot gate on the north bank of the Bianhe River is also open during limited hours. All pigs, sheep and livestock can enter through this small gate.
Wang's gang has become accustomed to coming to Xishuimen to buy river fresh food. His wife's favorite is fresh crucian carp. Even though the fish is not valuable, the fish soup is as white as snow.
Of course, you have to go to the West Market near Xishuimen. Looking at the lamb that had just been slaughtered, the Wang Gang proudly asked for half of it among a group of stewards. Ordinary people could not afford such precious things, and only merchants or
Only a family of officials is willing to buy sheep to eat.
What's more, the steward of a merchant's house doesn't dare to blatantly buy sheep to eat, otherwise he will be ridiculed, saying that a merchant with a low career wants to eat expensive meat, and your family will not be able to eat dirty meat?!
But now it is basically impossible to tell, because since saints and officials issued decrees allowing people to wear silk and satin robes, it is difficult to tell their identity. Only the color of the clothes still has some rules to follow.
When Butcher Shen saw that it was the Wang Gang, he immediately said: "It's the Wang who is in charge, so it's no wonder that he is so generous. I heard that your young prince has made many military exploits in the northwest, and good news has been reported frequently!"
"What is Hu Qin?! My Marquis wrote in a letter and said that this was planned by Fan Xianggong. Of course, the Marquis is a little too humble. Only with Fan Xianggong sitting in charge can my Marquis kill everyone!"
"Yes, yes! Manager Wang was right. I almost violated a taboo! I know what happened in the court!"
The Wang Gang chuckled: "Even you know this, but there are still people who want to frame our Marquis. Do you think that person is hopelessly stupid?!"
When Butcher Shen saw more and more people gathered around him, he immediately said with a smile: "Steward Wang, this sheep is fresh! Half a sheep counts for five hundred questions, so I will send someone to Xinlingfang. Please go slowly."
!”
"Summer insects can't talk about ice!" Wang Gang shook his head and left. When he arrived at Xibian Bridge, he was about to buy some autumn pears for his wife and Xuan'er to try, but suddenly he heard the sound of horse hooves and loud shouts, and the people around him screamed.
They dispersed immediately, and even the vendors on the bridge pushed their stalls to the side. They would rather watch the fruits fall into the Bian River than make way for the middle of the road.
"Great victory in the northwest, Yunzhong County Marquis and General Cao joined forces to encircle and suppress five thousand Dangxiang rebels. Chief Li Deming was injured by an arrow, and most of the remaining thieves were killed or injured! Fan Shizhi used troops to ambush Dangxiang's reinforcements at Xiamo Village. Our court won a great victory.
Kill five thousand of the enemy, and the rest will flee!"
The Wang Gang, who was still complaining about the fuss made by the people around him, suddenly jumped up and rushed to his own bullock cart in three steps and two steps at a time. After getting on the cart, he waved his whip and drove the cart very fast. After the cavalry cleared the way, the road became smoother.
Good to go.
The fast horse entered Tokyo City from the Wansheng Gate in the west, and the shouts along the way made most of Tokyo know about it. After all, the West Market is a place where everyone in Tokyo comes.
The Wang Gang rushed back to Xinlingfang, but before they entered the mansion, Uncle Ge Sanshu, who was nearby, had already begun to greet the customers in front of his stall: "Ye Hou Dasheng, we won't charge you for this meal. After you finish eating, leave quickly and I will close the shop now!"
"
Except for Uncle Ge San, almost all the shops in Xinlingfang were left to others to take care of. Without exception, the shop owners all prepared gifts and rushed to the Yunzhong County Marquis Mansion.
The Wang Gang stopped the bullock cart and tied it to the horse-tethering stone, frowning dissatisfied and saying: "What did Madam explain before? No matter how great your achievements are, the Marquis cannot mobilize troops like this. It would be better for you to abandon your own business and not build the Marquis Mansion."
Why are you making fun in front of the door?!"
Uncle Ge San held the clay pot and said with a smile: "I'm not giving you any big gift, my family just gave me some good mutton oil. What the Marquis and the County Lord like the most is eggplant roasted in mutton oil. Hey... you're such a good steward."
Yes, that’s unreasonable!”
Gang Wang was helpless for a moment. He was doing things according to his wife's instructions, but these people told him otherwise.
"Since it's a gift from a neighbor, it should be under my command, Wang Bang, but I have to register the gifts from each family clearly so that I can return gifts in the future."
Qin Mumucong still knew the news about the northwest. Xuan'er had already heard about it when she went to Nanmen Street to collect the bill, so she naturally dropped everything and rushed back.
Following Qin Mumu's words, a group of people happily sent gifts into the Hou Mansion, chatting in the outer hall. The Hou family and the Tie family's mother burned tea and brought it to Xuan'er, and also set out snacks and candied fruits to entertain her.
.
There were not many rules in the Yunzhong County Marquis Mansion, and they usually walked around a lot. When they arrived in the outer hall, they started chatting freely. Qin Mumu didn't say anything, but smiled as he watched everyone praise Ye An.
"County Lord, the Marquis has made such a great contribution, will he be generously rewarded by the officials after returning to the court?"
Uncle Ge San saw Qin Mumu's eyes and immediately interrupted Madam Zhang's words: "What are you asking about? The Marquis went to Bianzhou to serve the country and the people. If it comes to your mouth, it will become a problem."
In order to covet the rewards from the imperial court, even a short-sighted person would not be ashamed!"
Mrs. Zhang's wife immediately slapped her mouth and said, "Young woman doesn't know the importance of this and makes the county king laugh."
Qin Mumu shook his head slightly and said: "We are all neighbors. Don't worry about this. But you can't mention it again when you go out. All the credit belongs to Fan Shizhi. The Marquis is just following orders. Things in the court have always been like this. Marquis
If you take too much credit, you will definitely be ostracized. You don’t want to see me, the Marquis of Yunzhong County, being ostracized and criticized for no reason, right?"
This can be regarded as breaking the words and telling everyone that they all live at the feet of the emperor. How could the people of Xinlingfang not know what Qin Mumu meant? They suddenly realized that they would never let the Hou Mansion
I don’t dare to show off too much when I receive groundless accusations.
Qin Mumu smiled slightly and said to Xuan'er beside him: "After all, it was the Marquis who won. Although it is not easy to publicize it outside, it is rare for our neighbors in Xinlingfang to get together, so naturally we have to celebrate. Xuan'er goes
Invite the cook from Lan Kwai Fong to come and host a banquet for all the neighbors!"
A group of people suddenly smiled and praised the "county gentleman's benevolence and righteousness"!
Qin Mumu bowed slightly to everyone and then turned to the backyard to change clothes. Since she stayed in the Song Dynasty for a long time, her behavior has become more and more like a big woman, but there is still some girlishness in her body, which makes the ladies in Tokyo envious.
It doesn't work.
It's just that when Mrs. Hou was helping Qin Mumu change her clothes, she noticed that the county prince's expression in the mirror was extremely ugly, as if it could make rain fall from the clouds.
"What's wrong with you on such a happy day, Lord County?" Hou, who hesitated repeatedly, couldn't help asking while combing her hair.
Qin Mumu smiled bitterly and shook his head, reached out to take the jade hairpin and inserted it into his bun and said: "Even the neighbors in Xinlingfang can see that Ye Lang's achievements are so high that they almost changed the Fan Shi system. What do you think about others?
What do you think? Don’t forget, our Lord Marquis is not yet twenty years old!”
Hou Shi smiled and helped Qin Mumu tidy up her hanging temples. She was so envious of herself for having such beautiful hair: "Look at what you said, it shows that Mr. Hou is young and promising! You should be happy! If the men in our family can
He is half...no, half as promising as the Marquis, I can laugh out loud even in my dreams!"
"The water overflows when it is full, and the moon waxes and wanes. The Marquis has such military exploits at such a young age, and is still a bachelor of the official family. Do you think a saint can tolerate him? How should he be rewarded? Duke? Prince? Or?
…”
scare!
Ms. Hou was suddenly startled. Although she was a woman, she knew some taboos in Tokyo. She waved her hands and said: "Master, don't say any more. It's too scary. Even though I am a commoner woman, I also know the greatness of the drama."
As soon as the earthquake master said it, what should we do?"
Qin Mumu smiled bitterly: "Don't worry, our cunning Lord Marquis will definitely destroy his reputation! Just don't use too much force!"
