A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 9 The cunning Bao Zheng

Shen An declined all kinds of invitations, but there was an uncle who insisted on marrying his daughter to him, which troubled him a little.

I'm only fourteen years old!

The age of marriage for men in the Song Dynasty seems to be sixteen years old...

Guoguo stood beside him, raised her head and shouted, "My brother won't marry!"

Well!

Shen An and the uncle were relatively stunned, and then laughed together.

His stove was still there, and even the iron pot was intact, as were the dozens of potstickers on it.

"No one said you were setting up a stall here last night!"

A merchant said firmly: "Whoever dares to speak out will be killed by us!"

Shen An stood in front of the stove, looking at the enthusiastic people in front of him, and suddenly felt that there were many things worth remembering about this Song Dynasty.

very warm!

When she saw Bao Zheng in plain clothes, Shen An smiled.

A very warm smile.

Everyone has their own persistence.

"You are too brave."

Bao Zheng reached out and touched Guoguo's head and said, "Although Shen Bian is a bit deviant, he is not as courageous as you. At least he did not dare to shoot the eagle of the Liao envoy in the street."

Shen An said calmly: "My father has not harmed any interests of the Song Dynasty."

Bao Zheng wanted to refute, but in the end he laughed at himself: "You are just a child, and some things are not as simple as you think."

Shen An said: "I know that it is the rule of our ancestors to use literature to control martial arts."

Bao Zheng nodded and smiled.

"But times have changed, and the Xixia and Liao people are two hungry wolves. God knows what more enemies will appear in the future. What will the Song Dynasty's suppression of the warriors bring?"

Bao Zheng's expression changed slightly and he said: "That's nonsense!"

Shen An smiled and stopped talking about this.

"Congratulations to Bao Qingtian for his reputation resounding throughout the sky again."

Last night, Bao Zheng's bravery to fight to the death was shocking, and Bao Qingtian's hard-headedness moved Shen An.

Bao Zheng looked uncomfortable and looked away.

Laobao is actually shy?

Shen An found it funny.

"That poem of yours is good."

Bao Zheng brought up old things again, which made Shen An immediately alert, and then asked: "Does Bao Longtu want to settle accounts after the fall?"

Bao Zheng shook his head, "The officials asked who the hawker who shot the Liao falcon was last night, but I said I didn't see it clearly. Shen An... people like you seem to be kind, but I know you are very dangerous."

Guoguo took Huahua to the back, and Bao Zheng raised his voice and said: "You can confuse people. This is a skill that can be big or small. If it is used to confuse stupid people, it will be a disaster for the country. You should take the exam, Officialdom will make you forget all ambitions..."

"I have no ambition."

Shen An retorted: "I have never had any ambitions. I only instigated the vendors to deal with those rogues and to find some extra money for myself. It is not as sinister as you think."

Bao Zheng smiled, pointed at Shen An and said: "You can do something that can deal with gangsters and make money at the same time. What is this? This is your ability. I am old and have seen many capable people, as young as you." The boy... that's all, a monster-like boy! But the Song Dynasty is not about to die, so you can take care of yourself. If you want to take the exam, you can come to me and I will recommend it to you."

The imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty began with the Jiejie Examination, which was the rural examination. However, there was no county or government examination to connect the previous and the following. They relied on recommendations.

Without recommendations, even if you are a talented person, you can only dig soil and farm at home.

Shen An shook his head, and Bao Zheng finally said: "If you can roll your name outside Donghua Gate, you will definitely become a pillar of the Song Dynasty twenty years later. If I were still alive at that time, I would crawl here to congratulate you and for the Song Dynasty." Song He!"

Take the wool test!

Shen An was laughing secretly in his heart.

Bao Zheng took a step forward, looked back at Shen An, and asked, "The Inspection Department and the thugs colluded with each other. What do you think should be done?"

Shen An subconsciously said: "Send someone to be an undercover agent among the rogues, or directly bribe the rogues. Once you get the information, take action. You must be ruthless so that the successors will not dare to step out of the way... Hiss!"

The old guy dares to trick me?

Looking at Bao Zheng with a bitter look on his face, Shen An felt that he had underestimated the wisdom of this era.

Bao Zheng sighed: "You are full of conspiracies and tricks, don't you want to be upright? It doesn't sound like a good thing if you have to be an undercover agent. You also have to bribe scoundrels... If I have time, I will guide you again and let you start again. Be human.”

Shen An was dumbfounded as he watched Bao Zheng walk away. He wanted to scold but didn't know what to scold.

"Brother, write."

Fortunately, Shen An feels comforted by having a studious sister.

The two went home and the landlord was receiving new tenants.

"...I'm not bragging. In Bianliang City, even the prime ministers and ministers have to rent a house, so it only costs ten guan a month, which is already very cheap."

The new tenants turned out to be two women, one was in her early twenties, beautiful, very beautiful, but also very arrogant.

The other one wasn't really a woman, she was a girl in her teens, a little older than Shen An, but she was old enough to be a mother now.

"Ms. Azhu, you want three rooms. If that doesn't work, ask Shen An how much his room costs."

The landlord, who used to be very charitable, has become a little cunning now, but Shen An is not willing to get involved in such things.

The woman named Azhu raised her eyebrows slightly, opened her mouth slightly, and said coldly: "That's it."

I go!

I was so proud of renting a house that I actually rented out the presidential suite. UU reading www.uukanshu.net

"Brother, be afraid!"

Guoguo followed Shen An along the way and met all kinds of people, and she was very sensitive to certain smells.

This is a proud and proud woman. The half-grown woman who looks like a maid also has her nostrils turned upward. The temperament of the master and servant can be summed up in four words.

Keep away strangers!

"Let's go practice calligraphy!"

Shen An is only fourteen years old now, and the opposite sex is not that attracted to this body yet.

Ah Zhu glanced at the Shen An brothers and sisters who came in, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, with some disdain.

After practicing calligraphy for half an hour, Shen An told Guo Guo a story.

"...The vicious queen caught the princess and kept her under her guard from then on. If the princess didn't finish a bowl of rice every meal, the queen would deal with her..."

Guoguo leaned on her brother's arms and pouted dissatisfiedly: "Brother, there is more."

Shen An thought for a while and continued: "Later, seven dwarfs came to rescue the princess. They became short because they were picky eaters, and the queen kicked them out one by one..."

Guoguo said melancholy: "Brother, I want to eat."

It was almost noon. Shen An lit the small stove with a smile and started cooking.

Shen An and the two new women now live in the front yard, and Da Song's current habit is to have two meals a day, without lunch.

As smoke rose from the kitchen, Shen An added shredded pork and stir-fried cabbage. Although he didn't add much seasoning, it was very fragrant because of the excellent raw materials.

He made two dishes and finished with egg soup.

He moved the table out, and Guoguo also struggled to move the small stool. Then when he saw the two women at the door looking at him in surprise, he smiled proudly.

"Brother, eat."
