I was a young master in ancient times

After selling all the remaining goods at home, Song Shitou took Meiniang on the road to Yuyang after a brief talk with his family.

Meiying looked at the ox cart leaving unwillingly, stomped her feet in resentment, and said to Song Shikuai full of resentment, "Your elder brother is used to living outside, it is better than home!"

Song Shitou remained silent with a sullen face.

Two small packages were placed on the bullock cart.A package contained two sets of clothes for Song Shitou and three sets of clothes for Meiniang.The other package contained the cakes Meiniang baked last night.

Meiniang felt apprehensive, leaned forward and asked, "The battalion commander you mentioned can really take us in?"

"Yes." Song Shitou was sure.

Meiniang still has no idea.Will someone who can become a battalion commander be willing to take care of them?

The husband and wife are very frugal people, and it was summer again, so they parked the ox cart by the side of the road at night, and Song Shitou and Meiniang lay on the ox cart to sleep.

Yuyang County is in the east of the central part of Daliang, and Song Shitou's hometown is in the northwest. The distance between the two places is farther than Yuyang to Beijiang.

Song Shitou and his wife walked for a month and three days, eating and sleeping in the open, and finally drove into Yuyang County when the weather started to turn cold.

As soon as he entered the city, he looked around, and the big white characters on the city wall attracted Song Shitou's attention.It read: Strive for literacy, don't be illiterate.

Song Shitou read out softly, and muttered, "Isn't this done by Captain An?"

"You can read?" Meiniang looked at her husband in disbelief.Unexpectedly, Xianggong is still a scholar, why has never heard anyone mention it.

Touching his head with his only hand, Song Shitou said shyly, "I just know how to read. I don't know how to write well. It was Battalion Commander An who taught me. In the military camp, everyone in our grain camp learned to read with him. And Chen Ziche, he also taught us with Battalion Commander An."

From time to time, one or two children holding books walked by on the street, chirping and joking, pushing and jostling from time to time.

Song Shishi suddenly felt very familiar.They were also like this when they were in northern Xinjiang, holding books when they were free.

These things Song Shitou was familiar with made him have a great impression of Yu Yang.

"Children, do you know how to get to Qiulin Lane in Yuyang?" Song Shitou spoke with a foreign accent and asked the two companions.

The two children looked warily at the stranger with one arm missing, raised their heads and asked, "What are you doing in Qiulin Lane?"

"I'm looking for relatives."

The child then asked, "What kind of relative?"

"Ankang."

Hearing this name, the children who were still very vigilant immediately smiled and said courteously, "We will take you there."

Song Shitou and Meiniang looked at each other, they got out of the ox cart, followed the child, walked into the street for a while, and turned into a narrow alley.inside

At the entrance of the alley is written: East Alley.

Song Shitou stopped immediately, "This is not Qiulin Lane. We are going to find Ankang."

The short child jumped in front of Song Shitou and explained, "Master An is not in Qiulin Lane now. He must be at the magazine office now. He is usually there during the day."

Hearing the child mention the magazine office, Song Shitou's heart fell. He knew that Battalion Commander An used to run a magazine office.The textbooks they read were magazines run by the battalion commander.

After walking half an alley, we finally arrived at the place.

The child pointed to the gate of the magazine office, and said "here", "I didn't lie to you."

The two children jumped into the yard and talked to someone.

Song Shitou clearly heard the voices of the children, "The one who came to find Master An is missing an arm and brought a wife."

Huzi guessed it was Song Shitou as soon as he heard it, and ran out of the yard.

"Brother Shitou." Huzi was pleasantly surprised to find that the unshaven man outside the door was Song Shitou, and there was a young woman standing beside him. "Brother Shitou, is this sister-in-law?"

Song Shitou nodded.

Ankang was naturally pleasantly surprised when he saw Song Shitou.

Song Shitou grinned at Ankang and said, "Battalion Commander An, I'm here to find you."

"It's good to be here, it's good to be here. I always miss you." Ankang warmly invited Song Shitou to An's house as a guest, ready to treat him well.

The first time she saw the gate of Anfu, Meiniang clutched Song Shitou's clothes cautiously, this Anfu is really magnificent.

Song Shitou was also a little apprehensive, fearing that the nobleman would be alarmed, so he whispered to Ankang, "Captain An, why don't you find me a place to wash up before seeing the nobleman. I can't see anyone with this smell on my body."

"Yes, yes, Huzi, take Brother Shitou back to my yard." Ankang said excitedly, "Let's find acquaintances for dinner at noon, and call Chen Ziche, Qiu Yuan, Pang Youde, and Zhao Qin. We will eat at my house in the evening. Brother Shitou, Both Zhao Qin and Pang Youde are married, let's meet together."

Meiniang put on clean clothes, dressed up, and put on the wooden hairpin that she was reluctant to bring along.This wooden hairpin also cost three hundred Wen.

She also patiently shaved Song Shishi's beard clean.You can't be rude when you come to such a family.

When Mrs. An and Mrs. An heard that Song Shitou was coming, they gathered in the flower hall early and wanted to have a good chat with Song Shitou.

As she grows older, Mrs. An likes to gossip with her old friends more and more.

Song Shitou was wearing his most decent blue cloth clothes, and with Meiniang, he greeted Mrs. An and Mrs. An cautiously.

Seeing Mrs. Wei, Song Shitou and Meiniang kowtowed respectfully three times, "Thank you Madam for the meal. Shitou kowtows to you. I wish you a long life."

It was Wei's Wei's Firm that allowed him to buy cheap goods and sell them so that he could support his family.

Xianglan helped Song Shitou and Meiniang up.

Wei's inquired, "The Wei's firm in your hometown pays [-]% of the price?"

"It's [-]%, it's [-]%." Song Shitou replied respectfully.

After seeing former friends, the group happily drank some wine.Even Ankang drank half a catty of white wine.

Huzi supported Ankang, and the master and servant walked back to the yard with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Xianglan was waiting in the yard with Ping An, seeing the two walking crookedly, she hurried over to help them.

"Brother." Ping An ran forward and opened his arms to hug, "Brother, hug."

Ankang looked at his younger brother with a smirk, squatted down, and picked up Ping An.

Xiang Lan was afraid of falling down, so she persuaded Ping An to come down.

But Ping An didn't see his brother all afternoon, even if his body smelled bad, he still firmly hugged Ankang's neck and refused to go down.

When the two brothers chatted, there were endless topics to talk about.

I don't know how these two brothers, who are more than ten years apart in age, got together.

Ping'an was close to Ankang, and he felt dizzy and sleepy after a while, and fell asleep in Ankang's arms after a while.

Xianglan didn't dare to leave Ping An to the two drunks, coaxed and persuaded Ankang to let go, and quickly hugged Ping An back.
