小宋都尉也不见得如何勤于政务,经常带着清秀书童一起骑马出城赏雪,晨出晚归,期间多半跟乡野村庄的樵夫猎人讨口饭食,将就对付一下就行,县衙六房兵役都说小宋老爷虽然是个读书人,可没有读书人的娇气,一个月相处下来,几个投靠无门的老兵痞商量了一下,带了好酒好肉,还有几件新狐裘子,去了趟新都尉那栋宅子。没过几天,这几位就开始带着十几位心腹兄弟,光明正大沾手城内最大一座青楼的护院差事,被鸠占鹊巢的青皮无赖恼羞成怒,武泽县连女子都彪悍,谁都跟山林响马能搭上七大姑八大姨的关系,也就没有什么民不与官斗的说法,双方当街斗殴,要是以往处理这等纠纷,也就是让县衙里的大人息事宁人,然后各找爹娘靠山,坐下来喝酒吃肉送礼谈情分,谁身后的靠山说话有分量,谁就算赢了,可小宋都尉好说话不假,去也颇为护短,大手一挥,让刑房兄弟手持枪矛披上甲胄去支援兵房,别看这帮脱了官皮就跟土匪无异的家伙头盔歪斜,枪矛生锈,可小宋都尉使唤众人时,绝没有文官动动嘴武官跑断腿的习气,二话不说拿出才到手还没捂热的俸禄,一股脑都给了刑房,如此一来,那帮人数上本就不占优的地痞给打得哭爹喊娘,喧闹大街上看客无数,都觉得场面新鲜,虽说许多百姓都觉得那新都尉跟以往官老爷一丘之貉,有些腹诽冷笑,可毕竟满城都知道小宋都尉的威名了。后来宁州大帮派弟子身份的地痞头子亲自出面,拿棉布裹了一柄刀,招摇过市,喽啰们鼓吹造势,扬言大哥要去宅子讨个说法,可这位在武泽县有拼命六郎绰号的豪侠进了宅子后,一个时辰后满嘴酒气醉醺醺返回,叼了根竹签剔肉丝,别人问起,只是笑而不语,三天后所有人才恍然大悟,好嘛,敢情是官匪蛇鼠一窝了,六郎给那都尉招安进了刑房当了小头目,没有挤掉谁的位置,而是县尉大人大笔一挥,添了一个名额,如此一来,武泽县城不但知道了那姓宋的年轻官家,还知道了这家伙吃相难看得很!出人意料的是宋都尉如此僭越行事,县令和老都尉都没有出声,只有跟这两家关系近的亲戚,才知道喜好风雅的县令大人家里新挂了幅字画,严老爷那个学识平平做隔壁县刀笔吏的儿子,不知怎么就妙笔生花,帮主薄写了篇让郡守都拍案叫好的应对文章。这可是官场上罕见新婚燕尔的景象啊,武泽县都不得不开始重视这位小宋都尉,临近年关,去宅子送礼的富贾络绎不绝,姓宋的来者不拒,光是收礼,差不多就是日入斗金。不过谁都心知肚明,这些礼,不是白收的,人情有来就有往,以后得一一还上,要是不换,就坏了规矩,还轻了,照样是不懂规矩。别看武泽县顶着上县头衔,县城不大,可鸡毛蒜皮的事情多了去,宋恪礼这个从九品上的县尉,又是专门跟麻烦打交道的劳碌官,以后有得他受。

不过如胶似漆的局面很快就被打破,快到堪称迅雷不及掩耳之势,一向与世无争的主薄大人开始率先向新都尉发难,官衙事务百般刁难不说,还让染指青楼的兵房那伙人干脆利落丢了身份,让人瞠目结舌,几个丈夫原本在兵房做事的婆娘挣钱时眉开眼笑,交口称赞小宋都尉是爽利人,恨不得介绍当地俊俏小娘去暖床,可丈夫丢了官差后,立马去泼妇骂街,一个泼辣的,还拎捅去泼了屎尿在门口,说是要让姓宋的来年晦气一整年,县衙六房也连忙见风使舵,对小宋都尉敬而远之。宅子也被主人板着脸收回,说是给再高的价钱也不租了,墙倒众人推的新都尉也不见气恼,在县衙后堂独力收拾出一间偏屋,临近马房,结果马粪堆了几尺高,也无人打扫,只得跟书童一起清扫,县令和主薄两位大人在远处眯眼看戏,看到宋恪礼浑身臭味,还算泰然处之,倒是那个书童流泪不止,两位老爷相视一笑。

县令夫人起先还有些怜悯,心底其实是惋惜没法子再去揩油那位清雅俊哥儿的细皮嫩肉,被县令一顿臭骂,告知内幕,才知道轻重,原来那宋小哥竟是京城里的大族子弟,具体背景也语焉不详,很难考究,好似武泽县坐二把交椅的主薄也没能知晓,只是主薄大人的座师发话,咱们宁州有位惹不起的大人,正四品!他早就不顺眼小宋都尉的家族,得拾掇拾掇这个家道破落的穷酸小子,尽管怎么下作怎么来。In the stinkinghorse stable, SongKelihelpedhispartnerstudyingchildwipe the tearswith a smile, the 14 or 15-year-oldbookchildstarted to speak but hesitated, can only cry, the hugegrievancewas ordinary.
臭烘烘的马房内,宋恪礼笑着帮他的伴读书童擦了擦泪水,才十四五岁的书童欲言又止,只能哭,天大委屈一般。

门庭若市转瞬变成门可罗雀,小宋都尉依旧想要赏雪就出城,没有闲情逸致时便闭门读书,倒是那个也被连带一捋到底的地痞头目,去县衙探望了一次。除夕前一天,官衙除了几家官老爷亲眷忙碌异常,已经没有六房事务,在这么喜庆的一个清晨,一队骑士拂晓入城,马背上挂了十几只大布囊,城卫见是小宋都尉领头,也懒得多事。人员臃肿的兵房刑房有近百号人,其中真正管事的十几人都被新都尉请人喊去官衙,说是不去以后便不用当差了,应者寥寥,谁还把这个拔毛凤凰不如鸡的家伙当回事,也就或企图烧冷灶或胆小拉不下脸的家伙去了官衙牢狱,然后一个个呆若木鸡。牢狱刑架上吊着十几个彪形大汉,其中三四人都是登过城头匪榜的悬赏凶徒,正在被不在刑房之列的外人动用私冷酷刑,牢狱里有一只大火盆,炭火熊熊,小宋都尉就坐在小板凳上,面无表情,双手伸出烤火,时不时拈起火钳拨弄一下炭火,对于撕心裂肺的哀嚎声无动于衷,十几票大过年的赶上这恐怖光景的兵房刑房兄弟大多面面相觑,还有几个都蹲在角落呕吐去了,几个让宁州闻风丧胆的年轻小响马熬不住惨绝人寰的重刑,陆续吐出几处响马同伙的老巢,对行刑最为热衷的那个地痞头目转头对小宋都尉咧嘴一笑,白齿森森,看得刑房兵房众人一阵毛骨悚然。小宋都尉似乎犹不满足,轻轻吐出继续两个字,然后就不再说话。他从炭盆边缘捡起一串黄铜响铃,宁州响马,有两响,战马系铜铃,冲阵杀人之前必有一枝响箭示威,这个本该去青楼去听狐媚子抚琴唱曲儿的文雅书生,低头眯起眼,双指转动铜铃。县衙不小,可这边的动静实在太大,那几家都被牢狱里发出的鬼哭狼嚎给惊扰得无以复加,尤其是那些美妾稚童,更是吓得相互抱头痛哭,老都尉严华盛气势汹汹前来兴师问罪,结果恰好看到小宋都尉的那张冷漠侧脸,好似突然就极为陌生了,手上也曾染血不少的老都尉一时间竟是半个字也说不出口。小宋都尉没有理睬严华盛,放下那串铜铃,拿火钳夹起一块炙热火炭,缓缓起身,走向一名匪名赫赫的健壮马贼,汉子已是浑身浴血,眼神仍是冷冽凌厉,跟小宋都尉凶狠对视。littleSongCommandantsaid with a smilelightly: „End of the yearend of the year, the debt , the person of new year's celebrationdebtdifficultsuch asto pass throughthis yearthis year, thishad the view of end of the year, youdo not study, it is estimated that in childhoodwantsto readalsoreadsdoes not submit a written statement, perhapsdoes not understandthistruth, thiscould not complain aboutyou, maypay for a murder with one's lifeperfectly justified, whichno matter, could convincebywhichdynasty. Igiveyoufinally an opportunity, so long asyousaid the Ningzhou14bighighwaymananydens, Imadeyoudiecomfortably.”
小宋都尉轻笑道:“年关年关,今年债今年还,欠债之人过年之难如过关,这才有了年关的说法,你们不读书,估计幼时想读也读不上书,兴许不懂这个道理,这怨不得你们,可杀人偿命天经地义,不管到哪儿,到哪个朝代都说得通。我最后给你一个机会,只要你说出宁州十四大响马任何一个的老巢,我就让你死得舒服一些。”OldCommandantswallowedsaliva, wherehadexecutesto say the truthlike this? Sinceworked as the highwayman, the especially thosefight forsomereputationsto be tied down by care of one's family, has to the loyaltybe extremely hard, wantingthemto open the mouth, difficultsuch asto ascend to heaven, furthermoreholdsone, attainingenjoyed the silveralsoonlyto feardyingto be colored, the NingzhouCommandantdozenspeople, were masqueradedinto the cityto damagelethallearning from another's mistakesby the highwayman of revengingto the whole familiesmany. After this, whoturns a blind eye, being an officialisgood, that must have the lifeto be good.
老都尉咽了一口口水,哪有这样行刑说道理的?既然当了响马,尤其是那些打拼出一些名头又拖家带口的,不得不义气极硬,想要他们开口,难如登天,再者抓住一个,拿到了赏银也只怕没命花,宁州都尉几十人,不乏被报仇的响马乔装打扮入城给满门祸害致死的前车之鉴。这以后,谁都睁一只眼闭一只眼,当官是好,那也得有命才行。
The highwaymanwas really unyielding, spatbloody wateronlittleSongCommandantface.
那响马果然硬气,吐了一口血水在小宋都尉脸上。
The vagabondchieftainmustbeginto teachthisnot knowing good from badrobust man, unexpectedlylittleSongCommandantbeckons with the hand, butsaidindifferently: „Pries openhismouth.”
地痞头目就要动手教训这个不知好歹的壮汉,不料小宋都尉摆了摆手,只是淡然说道:“撬开他的嘴。”Thishighwaymanwas skiddedto open the mouthbytwo people, littleSongCommandantraised the fire tongs, pushed in thatcharking the highwaymanmouthslowly. In the prisonresoundsonegratinglyignitionsound, is the oldCommandantstrictHuasheng, mustfeel sickscared.
这名响马被两人撬开嘴,小宋都尉提起火钳,缓缓将那颗烧炭挤入响马嘴中。牢狱中响起一阵刺耳的嗤嗤灼烧声,便是老都尉严华盛,都要胆寒作呕。Does not wait forthishighwayman dead certainly, littleSongCommandantturned aroundto pick the charcoal, moved toward the nextmounted bandit, „previouslyforgot saying that after opening the mouthto inform, mymartialZedistrictCommandantSongKeli, after guaranteeingyoudie, ifthere is a family, thenprotectedyourfamilyto be safe and sound.”
不等这名响马死绝,小宋都尉又转身去夹起火炭,走向下一位马贼,“先前忘了说,开口告密之后,我武泽县都尉宋恪礼,保证你死后,若有家眷,便护着你们一家老小安然无恙。”
The highwaymansurfacehas the hesitation, thendoes not need the skidto open the mouth, to the bystanderimpressiontemperamentverygoodlittleSongCommandant, has poked to pieces the mouth of middle-agedmounted banditwith the fire tongspatientlydirectly, thenwants saying that did not have the opportunity.
响马面有犹豫,然后就不用撬开嘴,给外人印象脾气耐心一直都很好的小宋都尉,就直接用火钳戳烂了中年马贼的嘴,便是想说也没机会了。Draws out the fire tongs, littleSongCommandantturned aroundto pick the charcoal fireagain, third the mounted bandit who wanted the evil and cruelevil spiritto approachis also frightened out of one's witscompared with the highwaymanbythis, immediatelytremblingsound said: „Isaid,myanythingsaid!”
拔出火钳,小宋都尉再度转身去夹起炭火,第三个被这个比响马还要歹毒的恶煞走近的马贼魂飞魄散,立即颤声道:“我说,我什么都说!”SongKeli the knitting the browshead, thensaidin a soft voice: „Isuddenlydo not wantto listen. Thesedens, Iputsometime and thoughts, can lookafter all. Actuallyyourdamn, the resentfulthisway of the worldandthisgovernment, youare notanything.”
宋恪礼皱了皱眉头,然后轻声说道:“我突然不想听了。那些老巢,我花些时间和心思,总归是找得出来的。其实你们的该死,怨这个世道和这个官场,你们本身不算什么。”Previouslyboiledseveraltortureto be able the man of JieJiesinister smileto cry saying: „Thismaster, smallaskedyou, so long asyoucanpreserve the littlehusband and wife, smallknewtwobighighwaymen, said that listenedtoyou! Askedyou......”
先前熬住好几遭酷刑都能桀桀阴笑的汉子哭道:“这位爷,小的求你了,只要你能保住小的家室,小的知晓两处大响马,都说给你听!求你了……”SongKelidiscarded the fire tongs, that the bookchild who burst into tearsin the horse stableweaklyhas once been taking pen in handto recordsilently, thislittle whileslightlyran over, graspsto carry the paperto squatbefore the highwaymanbody, allocated the xuan paperto putwhen the knee, thisyoungsterraised the headlookchilling, did not seetimidly.
宋恪礼丢掉火钳,那个曾在马房软弱流泪的书童一直在默默提笔记录,这会儿小跑过来,握笔拎纸蹲在响马身前,平摊宣纸搁在膝上,这位少年抬头时眼神冷硬,丝毫不见怯弱。SongKelisaton the smallbackless stool of brazier, referred to the pastonlyflaunting the ominousvagabondchieftaininmartialZecounty, turned the headto sayto the strictHuashengsmile: „StrictCommandant, the songoes out of townto enjoy the snowwith the stonetigerbrothersas luck would have it, ran uponthisgroup of younghighwaymen, givesto bundlereturns to the county administration.

Strict can Commandant, troubleyou?”
宋恪礼坐回火盆的小板凳上,指了指以往只在武泽县城逞凶的地痞头目,转头对严华盛微笑道:“严都尉,赶巧儿跟石虎兄弟出城赏雪,撞上了这拨小响马,就给捆回县衙。快过年了,不想太过麻烦刑房兄弟,可又怕担上妄动私刑的名声,就劳动大驾请来看上几眼。不过明天这些马贼的尸体得挂在城墙上,还得劳烦刑房。还有,我估摸着有不少响马其实就在城内,说不定跟一些城里德高望重的老爷有些牵连,等会儿详细单子出来后,有些不熟的人头脸面,恐怕仍需严都尉帮忙传话一声,就说宋恪礼初来驾到武泽县,囊中羞涩,只能烧去这份名单,权且当是给众位乡一份亲见面薄礼,和气生财,大伙儿都能过个好年。严都尉,会不会麻烦你?”strictHuashengshakes the headlike the rattle-drum, „isn't troublesome.”
严华盛摇头如拨浪鼓,“不麻烦不麻烦。”littleSongCommandantrestoredthattowhomild-mannered and cultivatedscholar, saidbenignly: „Alsoknew that strictCommandant, SongKeliin the county administrationdid not celebrate the new year, to askBrotherstonetigerto rent a smallhouseinTao Ran Street.”
小宋都尉又恢复成那个对谁都温文尔雅的读书人,和颜悦色说道:“还得知会严都尉一声,宋恪礼就不在县衙内过年了,已经请了石虎兄弟在陶然街租了栋小宅子。”originally thoughtmustput in order the strictHuashengheart of trickonetight, after hearingisthisminor matterfeels relieved, immediatelysqueezes out the smile saying: „Isn't important, thenIgaveSongCommandantto pay new year's call, perhapsif the New Year supperarranged, Ihad a knowing wellmaster chef, the craftsmanshipwas good, inmartialZedistrictbeing able to stand in linenumber, will makehimgiveSongCommandantyour family placeto cooktomorrow.”原本以为又要整出幺蛾子的严华盛心一紧,听到是这种小事后如释重负,当即挤出笑脸道:“不打紧不打紧,回头我给宋都尉拜年去,要是年夜饭没准备好,我有个熟识的大厨,手艺还算不错,在武泽县都排得上号,明日儿就让他给宋都尉府上掌勺去。”Hasthatmounted banditto have a good start, the prisonis finally pure, the bookchildstarts to writerapidly, quickrecords, did not saywithoneselfmaster,extractsxuan paper, wrote the extrarelativelysuccinctlist, after finishing, blows the ink marksgently, givesfacial expressioncomplexoldCommandant.
有那个马贼开了个好头,牢狱总算清净下来,书童落笔急速,很快就记录完毕,不用自家主人多说,就又抽出一张宣纸,写了额外一份相对简洁的名单,写完之后,轻轻吹了吹墨迹,递给神情复杂的老都尉。littleSongCommandantstood upslowly, torture chamberbarrackvariouspeoplefrightenedas if by prior agreementretrocedeseveralsteps.
小宋都尉缓缓站起身,刑房兵房诸人都不约而同惊吓得后退几步。littleSongCommandantsupplesound said: „Today'smatter, reluctantlyiscounty administrationsoldierpunishmenttwosecretimportant matters, the brotherswatchedon the line.”
小宋都尉柔声道:“今天的事情,勉强算是一桩县衙兵刑两房的机密要事,众位兄弟看在眼里就行了。”Onegroup of peoplemake an effortto nod.
一帮人使劲点头。littleSongCommandantthenlookedtostrictHuasheng, „deliveredstrictCommandant.”
小宋都尉这才望向严华盛,“送送严都尉。”strictHuashengrushes saying: „Does not use.”
严华盛赶忙说道:“不用了。”ButSongKelidelivered to the prisonentrance, after folding the roadreturns, is only left overseveralwith the trusted aidebrothers who the stonetigertrades the life, in additiondelicatelets the youngsterbookchild who the stonetigerholds in high esteem.
可宋恪礼还是送到了牢狱门口,折路返回后,只剩下几个跟石虎换命的心腹兄弟,外加一个秀秀气气却让石虎刮目相看的少年书童。stonetigerinquired that the looklooks, SongKelinods.
石虎询问眼神望来,宋恪礼点了点头。In the prisonspreadsunwillingrapidwailing, after thaton the thoroughpuredeathly stillness, standsis hanging all over the corpse the stenchroom, SongKeliasked: „Reallycanfind No. fortyskillcleanfileson the rivers and lakes?”
牢狱中传出一阵不甘心的急促哀嚎,此后就彻底清净死寂,站在挂满尸体的腥臭屋子,宋恪礼问道:“真能在江湖上找到四十几号身手干净的档手?”stonetigeris rubbing handshehesays with a smile: „SongCommandantfelt relieved, Shiin the Ningzhoupath, althoughis not broad, but is very sturdy, thatgroup of humanitieswith the highwaymansimilarmoralitydesperado, Shisavedthemin the pastaccidentallygreatly, istheyowesme.

石虎搓着手嘿嘿笑道:“宋都尉放心,石某人在宁州路子虽然不算广,但都很牢靠,那伙人本就是跟响马差不多德性的亡命之徒,当年石某人无意中救下他们大当家的,是他们欠我的。再说了,也不是要他们白干,只要给足报酬,别说进山杀马贼拿赏银,就是让他们杀进官衙,都敢试上一试。别的地方万万不敢如此,可咱们宁州不一样,当官的不算大爷,当匪的才是。”SongKelinoddedto say with a smile: „Youalsofelt relieved, no matterlatermartialZedistrictCommandantoneistwo, has your seat.”
宋恪礼点头笑道:“你也放心,以后武泽县都尉不管是一个还是两个,都有你的一张座椅。”stonetigershakes the headto say with a smile: „Seeking a person in officeplays the power and prestigeis a different matter, mainlyyouworkedwithSongCommandant, twocharacters, happy! A short time agohad the wanderingfour directionsfortune-tellerto calculatetome, bighonored person who laterwewere destined, was surnamed Song!

石虎摇头笑道:“谋个官身耍威风是另外一回事,主要是跟宋都尉你做事,就两字,痛快!前不久就有个云游四方的算命先生给我算过,以后咱命中注定的大贵人,就姓宋!他娘的,竟然还真没骗老子,当时没舍得给赏钱,这会儿愧疚得很呐!”SongKelishowed neither approval nor disapproval, „tomorrowislunar New Year's Eve, did Brotherstonestay up all night on new year's evewithmyboilingyeartogether?”
宋恪礼不置可否,“明天是除夕,石兄弟跟我一起熬年守岁?”stonetigersaidcarelessly: „Thisis indeed good.”
石虎大大咧咧道:“这敢情好啊。”stonetigerand his party of depart, prisononly thenSongKeliandyoungsterbookchild.
石虎一行人离去,牢狱就只有宋恪礼和少年书童。SongKelilookedto a corpse, thought aloud: „Manyterrible business, musteffect a permanent cureQingyuan, mustfollowaccumulatesgraduallytwocharacters, doingto be very difficult, mayalwaysneedsomepeopleto do. Completed, If nothing else, after was worstyourNingzhou, whomdid not haveto be willingto goto work as the highwaymanagain. Yournotrefusing stubbornlyline. The matterwantssomepeopleto do, the personalsosomepeopledies.”
宋恪礼望向一具尸体,自言自语道:“很多麻烦事,得治本清源,更得遵循积渐二字,做起来很难,可总是需要有人去做。做好了,别的不说,最不济你们宁州以后没谁再愿意去当响马。你们不死不行。事要有人做,人也得有人死。”
The bookchildaskedin a soft voice: „Young master, byyourskill, whereneedthatthick patch of grassstonetigercopes withthese No. more than tenmounted bandit? Thenwent to a highwaymanden, cankillto killseveralback and forth.”
书童轻声问道:“少爷,以你的身手,对付这十几号马贼哪里需要那草莽石虎?便是去了一处响马老巢,也能杀进杀出几个来回。”SongKeli the gentle voicesaid with a smile: „Customtwocharactersare heaviest, ifyoueverythingdid not speak the custom, is thinking the shortcut, association/willthereforeannoyingdid not speak the opponent of customcompared withyou. The old sayingsaid that oftenfollows the difficult not wetshoesin the riverside, isthistruth, with the rivers and lakesstyleconduct, wants getting wetshoessooner or later.

Kills the mounted bandit, is the Commandantjob, becauseIdo not have the badcustom, being insufficientmakes the road of governmentpromotionmorewalkis narrower.”
宋恪礼柔声笑道:“规矩二字最重,你若是事事不讲规矩,想着走捷径,总会因此惹上比你更不讲规矩的对手。古话说常在河边走难能不湿鞋,就是这个道理,以江湖风格行事,迟早都要沾湿鞋子。三品高手被二品小宗师所杀,小宗师为一品所杀,金刚被指玄杀,指玄被天象杀,一物降一物,没谁逃得掉。既然当官,就相当于乘了船看江湖,难就难在不能心存侥幸,难在一次都不可以下船去走在河边。像主薄梁伦针对我,都是官场手腕,并没有坏规矩,那我宋恪礼就接下了,接不住是我公门修行的道行不够,只能忍着,接住了,就等于在武泽县站稳了脚跟,可以慢慢经营,一步一步往上走。杀马贼,是都尉的分内事,因为我也没有坏规矩,就不至于让官场升迁之路越走越窄。”
The bookchildpurses the lips, sighs: „Young master, but can your little whilefrom the nine chief ministers of state, how manyyearsbecomelike the masterfrom the third gradedeliberation hallhigh-ranking court officialmerely?”
书童撅了撅嘴,叹气道:“少爷,可你这会儿仅仅是从九品上啊,得多少年才能像老爷那样当上从三品的朝堂重臣?”SongKeliknocked the head of youngster, the lookwas warm, the spoken languagereproved: „Toldyouaccumulatesgraduallytwocharacters, forgot?”
宋恪礼敲了敲少年的脑袋,眼神温暖,言语训斥道:“才跟你说了积渐二字,就忘了?”
The youngster, smiled.
少年哦了一声,笑了笑。
The youngstersaidsuddenlyin a soft voice: „stoneHuzhenis stupid, had not lookedunexpectedlythatfortune-telleris the young mastermasquerades!”
少年突然轻声道:“那石虎真笨,竟然没有看出来那算命先生是少爷乔装打扮!”Closes with a smileinSongKeli who martialZedistrictlaunchesa series ofmeticulouslayouts.
早早在武泽县展开一系列缜密布局的宋恪礼一笑置之。SongKegave precedence out of courtesy the youngsterto siton the smallbackless stool, oneselfsquattedto put out a handto warm upat will, mutters: „It seems likeinCapital Citysomepeopleknow that I arrived here, startedto fudge, mentionedstrangely, no onegave opportune helptoSong Family, thiswas not unusual, butSong Familyisgoes down in the worldhence, actually will somepeoplealso worry aboutsmallCommandant? Song Familya few years ago the high position invites criticism, mayalwaysnot tie the deadenmityon the government, is really antagonizes peoplemuchin the literary arena, buttheseopponenthow manyalsowant the face, hastheirsideto serve the rich and powerful by literary hack workto treat as personal matter the person, curries favor with the literary giant who thisgroupalwaysdoes pay no attention to the ordinary affairson own initiative? Otherwisethiscold wind, blowing some are not right.”
宋恪礼让少年坐在小板凳上,自己随意蹲着伸手取暖,喃喃道:“看来京城里有人知道我到了这里,开始动手脚了,说来奇怪,没有人对宋家雪中送炭,这不稀奇,可宋家都已是落魄至此,竟然还有人会惦念一个小小都尉?宋家前些年树大招风,可在官场上向来不结死仇,在文坛上确是树敌不少,可这些对手多少都还要点脸面,难道是有他们身边的帮闲体己人,借此跟这帮向来不理俗事的文豪主动献媚?否则这阵阴风,吹得有些不对劲。”SongKelistopped the fingerto rap the movement of forehead, graspedthatskewer of bronze bells, self-ridiculedto say with a smile: „Thinks that does not understanddoes not think.”
宋恪礼停下手指敲击额头的动作,抓起那串铜铃,自嘲笑道:“想不明白就不想了。”„HeardPrefecture Princesswhen the young masterleaves Beijing, almostmustblock the way.”
“听说郡主在少爷离京时,差一点就要拦路。”„Deep love between man and woman, loses the spirit of enterprise. Is useless, noqualificationsthinkthese.”
“儿女情长,英雄气短。多想无益,也没资格想这些。”„The young master must always get married and begin a career.”
“那少爷总还是要成家立业的。”„Thisnaturally, martialZedistrictlooks forvirtuouswoman, is good.”
“这个当然,武泽县找个贤淑女子,也不错。”„Thishowline!”
“这怎么行!”„To be how good?”
“怎么就不行?”„How can theybe joined to the youngster?!”
“她们如何配得上少年?!”
After sayingthese words, the bookchildeyeswere red, sob saying: „Young masteris the Song Familyyoung phoenix, mustbecome the character of the world scholarsleader.”
说出这句话后,书童眼睛通红,抽泣道:“少爷是宋家雏凤啊,原先是要成为天下士子领袖的人物啊。”SongKelismiled, put out a handto wipe the tearsfor the naiveyoungster.
宋恪礼轻轻一笑,伸手替天真少年擦去泪水。
