At the gate of Bianliang City, Fang Jinshi saw that there were many more people leaving the city than entering the city. This was exactly the opposite of the previous situation. Moreover, a considerable number of people leaving the city were dragging their families with them, carrying carts on their shoulders, and moving. There are many.
Fang Jinshi saw this situation and said to Shi Quan: "Brother, with so many people leaving Bianliang, does your Mianxian Village have such a plan?"
Shi Quan also looked at the flow of people and said: "The roots of Mianxian Village are in Bianliang City. It is in Yong'an County. Where can it be moved?"
Fang Jinshi said: "I will go back to Jiangnan in a few days. My eldest brother will take Mianxianzhuang and go to Jiangnan with me."
Shi Quan said: "For those who are not familiar with the place in Jiangnan, maybe you can think of moving the entire Mianxian Village there. I'm afraid it will be difficult." He said this and added bitterly. : "I don't believe it. Hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops will not be able to defend Bianliang, Tokyo!"
Fang Jinshi said leisurely: "It's really hard to say." He paused, and then said to Shi Quan: "Grandpa, he is already old, and he is not like you and me. Even when Jin Bing comes close, his legs and feet are nimble. We can move away right away, but why has his old man been frightened so many times? Why not live in Jiangnan for a while, and then come back after the world has calmed down."
Shi Quan sighed: "It's precisely because my father is old that he doesn't dare to leave here easily. It's hard to leave one's homeland, but what you said makes sense. I'll discuss it with my family later."
The two of them talked and entered Bianliang City together with everyone else. When they separated at the intersection, Shi Quan said: "It's been a hard time for everyone these days. Let's go back and have a good rest."
Fang Jinshi said: "Eldest brother's wedding is not over yet. How can we do it without a few drinks and a lively atmosphere." Although the Feng brothers were tired, it was still a happy event for their sister to marry, so naturally they all agreed, and besides the acquaintances and friends in the city We haven't even invited him yet, so we went to find a big restaurant and opened several more tables together.
Fang Jinshi sent Liang and Huang back home, and went to continue drinking wine. This meal lasted until midnight. The banquet ended very late. Fang Jinshi drank too much and fell again while walking. His whole body was dirty. When he returned home, he was afraid that Liang Cuirong would scold him, so he went to the house where Huang Jinmian lived. After all, Huang Jinmian was easier to talk to than Liang Cuirong.
Huang Jinmian had gone to bed long ago and got up again to open the door for him. He washed his hands and face again and struggled for a long time. Huang Jinmian felt unhappy and couldn't help but scolded him a lot. Fang Jinshi even regretted it. He might as well go find Liang's eldest wife. Sleeping in that room.
The two of them finally blew out the lamp and lay down. Fang Jinshi was sleepy and tired, and was about to fall asleep in a daze. Huang Jinmian listened to him without speaking for a long time, and touched him with his elbow. After sighing twice, Fang Jinshi asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Huang Jinmian turned her back to him displeased and said, "It's nothing serious."
Fang Jinshi turned Huang Jinmian's body over, turned over to ride on his horse, lowered his head to kiss her neck, and whispered: "I'm so sleepy, hurry up and finish your work and go to bed." Huang Jinmian pushed him hard and cursed: "You're going to die, I'll do it all day long. Think about this."
Fang Jinshi hugged her, rested on her for a while, then lay down, covered his mouth and yawned, "I don't want to think about it anymore, I'm so sleepy."
Huang Jinmian stood up and lay on top of him, holding his chin and smiling at him: "Let me tell you something."
Fang Jinshi asked: "What's the matter?"
Huang Jinmian smiled first and then said: "Maybe... I really have Fang Xiaoshi."
Fang Jinshi was overjoyed after hearing this. Most of his sleepiness disappeared at once, and he hurriedly asked: "Really?"
Huang Jinmian raised his head and looked at the sky, rolled his eyes a few times, then giggled, hugged his waist and lay on his chest, smiling: "I think... it might be true."
When Fang Jinshi heard what she said, he knew it was true. People who had studied medicine like Huang Jinmian would usually not make misjudgments. Fang Jinshi didn't sleep anymore. He tore off her clothes and put his ear to her belly to listen.
Huang Jinmian smiled and scolded: "Listen, you big-headed ghost, it's only been a few days, what can you hear?"
Fang Jinshi said seriously: "You can hear it, really."
Huang Jinmian said, "That's because I'm hungry, so my stomach is growling." Fang Jinshi immediately jumped out of bed and said, "I'll find you something to eat."
He really got up and went to find something to eat. Early the next morning, Fang Jinshi told Liang Cuirong the news. Although Liang was a little confused, she still said a few words: "Ancestors bless, ancestors bless."
Liang Cuirong immediately set up the incense table, presented incense and candles as offerings, and asked Fang Jinshi to offer incense to his ancestors, to express his condolences and thank his ancestors for their kindness. Fang Jinshi was a little repelled by these red tapes, but he did not dare to disobey Liang Cuirong. He took the incense and candles and muttered: "Everyone Ancestors and ancestors, if you have an extra piece of incense this month, why don’t you also thank me and bless me to become stronger and stronger, make them happy and have more children?” Then he gave me his blessing respectfully. Put the incense into the incense burner.
When Liang Cuirong heard that he was offering incense to Fang's ancestors like this, the more he talked about it, the more out of tune he became. She was very angry, but she didn't want to get angry in front of the ancestor's memorial tablet, so she just stamped and twisted his foot hard.
Outside Bianliang City, the situation at this time was becoming more and more unfavorable to the Song Dynasty. The Jin soldiers crossed the Yellow River and rushed all the way to Bianliang City. They crossed the river from Mengzhou Prefecture on the other side in an attempt to go around to the back of Bianliang City, forming a front and rear. In the form of a flanking attack, although the Jin soldiers occupied some places and also captured Heishiguan, in order to achieve the goal of attacking from behind, they had to capture at least Xingqing Pass, Xingyang, Zhengxian and other places. However, Xingqing Pass had been attacked for a long time. No less, blocking the Jin army.
At this time in Bianliang City, although there was chaos in the palace and court, Song Huizong was panicked and couldn't believe what that faction said. He simply hid in the Taoist temple built in the deep palace and went to pray to the Sanqing Saint.
In fact, the situation is not really that dangerous. People from all walks of life gathered together, and the south and west outside Bianliang City were all in the hands of the Song army. The Jin soldiers were small and could not annihilate or drive away these Song troops. Naturally, they could not The city was besieged on all sides, and the Song army took the initiative to attack, but was defeated several times in succession.
Fang Jinshi knew that Huang Jinmian was pregnant, so he naturally took care of him carefully. At this time, he thought that he should quickly find a way to Huaidong Road. Although Bianliang City would not fall for a while, it was still a place where swords and guns were used. , although Zhao Kai didn't urge him too much, but thinking about Huang Jinmian's current situation, it would be too tiring for him to travel long distances after a long time, and he was not willing to let Fang Xiaoshi live there. In the turbulent Bianliang City.
A few days later, at noon that day, Fang Jinshi was drinking tea with Shi Quan in Mianxian Village and joking with the newly promoted sister-in-law Shi Feng Wan. Two servants from the yamen came outside and shouted as they entered. : "Is Fang Jinshi here? Is Fang Jinshi here?"
Fang Jinshi hurriedly came over and said with a smile: "I'm here, I'm here, I wonder which yamen you two are from?"
The two envoys were polite and bowed, "We are from the military registration room. It's hard to find high-ranking officials like Fang. We have only found high-ranking officials here since the morning."
Fang Jinshi heard that the two men were from the Military Registration Room of the Privy Council, and he felt a thump in his heart. He was thinking something bad. The court was now looking for young men. Do you want me to go up to the tower to defend the city, or go out to fight? If I had known earlier, I would have gone to Huaidong earlier...
He was worried about Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, but he still said politely: "Then it's too hard for you two. I don't know why you two distinguished ministers have worked so hard to find me."
The leading clerk made a noise and said, "I don't know much about the dispatches from the Shangfeng Military Registration Room, but I heard... I just heard that Fang Guanren has been promoted to the rank of Zhenwei Colonel. .”
Fang Jinshi thought for a moment in confusion and said, "What level is this? I seem to have never heard of it."
The messenger said: "It's a martial arts from the sixth grade. Fang Guanren has been promoted from the seventh grade to the sixth grade all at once. It's really gratifying and congratulatory." After saying that, he bowed deeply, and the other person also bowed and saluted, and Fang Jinshi Knowing that they wanted a reward, he immediately took out some money to buy wine for the two police officers. Naturally, Shi Quan also took out the money as usual.
After sending away the two envoys first, Shi Quanxi said: "It is extremely rare to be promoted to two levels in a row. My brother is really auspicious and has a bright future."
He was getting ready to open a banquet to celebrate again, but Fang Jinshi stopped him and said, "This is just what two petty officials heard about. We haven't received the documents yet. It's not too late to celebrate once we officially have the documents. It's a pity that he is a casual official with no authority and cannot go into battle." Kill the enemy, defend the country, and make achievements, hey..."
On the contrary, Shi Quan comforted him and said: "You will naturally find a job after a while. If you want to make contributions and serve the court, it is never too late."
Little did he know that Fang Jinshi was naturally happy because he had been promoted. What was even more happy was that this official was a military casual official. He just received an extra salary and an official position, not a real job. Naturally, he did not need to be "captured" by the court at this time.
He was still wondering if it would be more effective if I offered incense to my ancestors like this, and good things would happen one after another.
Without further ado, Fang Jinshi immediately went to the Military Registration Room to sign documents, use his seal, and make files. The signature from the Military Registration Room flattered him and said: "Captain Fang's promotion has been smooth and smooth. Yesterday, the guarantee document from the Jing'an Army arrived. , I will immediately send someone to handle it as soon as possible."
When Fang Jinshi heard what he said, he knew that this promotion must be done by Prince Yun Zhao Kai, so early the next morning, Fang Jinshi came to Prince Yun's Mansion. Zhao Kai gave him such a big reward. He always Just show your loyalty.
As soon as he walked into the meeting hall of Prince Yun's Mansion, he saw Fan Kui from the Jing'an Army sitting there drinking tea. When he saw Fang Jinshi come in, he immediately stood up and said, "Congratulations to Captain Fang. Congratulations to Captain Fang for being promoted to two levels in a row."
Fang Jinshi said: "Brother Fan is really well-informed about the news."
Fan Kui replied with a smile: "That's natural. I don't care about anything else. I'm very concerned about Brother Fang's future." Fang Jinshi naturally knew the meaning of his words. He was Fan Kui's cash cow. There were six or seven people sitting there, all of whom were close friends of King Yun Zhao Kai. He knew almost all of these people.
Most of these people looked happy, as if they all had a happy event like Fang Jinshi.
Another civil servant ridiculed him and said: "Brother Zhao was so generous with his kindness, and he didn't hear anything about it beforehand. You just heard about it from Butler Li. Is this a serious concern?" Fang Jinshi had seen this man before. Several times, it was a minister named Zhao who served in the court.
Fan Kui said with a smile: "Isn't the young master Fang who I just got Xi Xun not a big concern? In addition to Brother Yang from Xinde Mansion, who has also been promoted to two ranks, which one of you can be promoted to two ranks in a row? Shouldn't you? Do you want to come forward to celebrate?"
Fang Jinshi was stunned. It turned out that Zhao Kai had not given him an official position, a title, or an increase in salary, but all his capable officers had given him favors in varying degrees.
