As the twelfth lunar month gets closer, the weather in Jiehe Market is getting colder every day.

Several north winds blow, and the ice on the border river was frozen as hard as steel. The thickness had long exceeded three feet, but no matter how thick the ice layer was, it could not stop the fishermen's enthusiasm for fishing.

I don’t know when it starts. Every time when winter is frozen, some idle fishermen will dig a big hole in the thick ice surface, and then use fishing rods made of bamboo and wood to get carp from the ice hole. The Jiehe carp in winter is particularly plump, and because the temperature is very low, it is not easy to rot. It is used as a top-quality trowel, and of course the price is not cheap. However, for the rich people in Jiehe Market, as long as they want to eat, the price is affordable.

So every winter, many fishermen will fish in the cold wind on the frozen boundary river.

However, fishing is not allowed in all places, because the frozen boundary river is also the place where people who like ice and snow play and have fun. An artificial ice hole can devour human life! Therefore, in the river section where citizens gather and play, there are special police patrols watching, and fishermen are prohibited from approaching.

Wu Haogu had a rare time today, so he changed into casual clothes and took Pan Qiaolian, Ximen Qing, and a few older children. The whole family went to play on the ice near the Republic of China. However, Oliga, Luohanbi and Guo Xiaoxiao did not come.

These three women are now pregnant and are protecting their fetus in the house.

Children’s toys are horse-drawn sleds, which are vehicles that people use when Jiehe River is frozen. Now Jiehe Market has a permanent population of 200,000 to 300,000 yuan, and its commodity economy is very developed, no less than Kaifeng Prefecture and Haizhou. Even in the twelfth month of winter, the demand for cities is still strong. Naturally, some people think of using sleds to pull goods for business.

A villa in the north of Jiehe Shang City happened to be on the water surface, so there were several sleds used by servants to pull goods in winter. Today, Wanyan Wushu (Wushu has always lived in Wushu's house) who came out to play together, and also put on a small mare, became a coachman, and pulled Wushu's children to play. Wushu's eldest son Wu Yiyong was a classmate in elementary school. He was a big egg and could do it. He was riding a horse and shooting archery. He was learning to catch a big cart from Wanyan Wushu now!

Oh, by the way, Wu Haogu's eldest son and Wanyan Wushu are good friends... The most naughty child in Wu Yiyong's elementary school, while Jin Wushu is a gentle and polite child, and his academic performance is also very good. Wu Haogu's efforts to cultivate Wanyan Wushu into an artist have also achieved some success.

Although Jin Wushu was not very interested in painting (he could draw a little more), his musical feeling was actually good (probably inherited, his father was a part-time dancer). He could play the huqin and play the Qiang flute, and he could sing and dance! His best skills were singing the erhu while singing Su Dongpo's "Nian Nujiao. Nostalgia for the Red Cliff", but he was not out of tune.

I don’t know if this Jin Wushu will become a literary and artistic worker in the Great Jin Kingdom in the future?

The children were a little tired and sat around a sled. Jin Wushu took out the erhu, and Wu Yiyong took out the Qiang Di, which was much more savage than Jin Wushu. He was the king of fighting in elementary school, but he heard the words of Jin Wushu who was older than him (Jin Wushu did not fight, but could teach Wu Yiyong the ability to fight, so Wu Yiyong admired him in particular), and learned to play the Qiang Dig Dig from Yan Po'er, and now he can play with Jin Wushu.

"The river goes east, the waves wash away, and the eternal heroes..."

With the music of "Nian Jiao Nu" played by Erhu and Qiang Di, Jin Wushu began to sing in Henan dialect again.

This scene is really eye-catching!

Watching the young man Wu Shu play the violin and sing, Wu Haogu couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

"Official, is Wang Silang not singing well?" Pan Qiaolian walked over from Hebei Qiaosheng and asked Wu Haogu.

The Wang Silang she mentioned was Jin Wushu. The Wanyan surname was the meaning of "king" in the Jurchen language, so after the two brothers Aguda and Wuyashu successively converted to the laws of nature, they regarded "king" as the Han surname that was derived from the Tiger Water Wanyan tribe.

Wuya Shu's Han name is Wang Ya, Aguda's Han name is Wang Min, and Aguda's sons' Han names are all from the Zong generation. Jin Wushu is called Wang Zongbi. Because of Xingsi, he is also called Wang Silang and Wang Sige.

"Okay, very good," Wu Haogu said, "The fourth brother is very literary. Maybe he can win the top scorer in the future."

Wu Haogu's prophecy came true later, and Jin Wushu really won the top scorer later... He was the first top scorer in the Great Jin Kingdom! His father Wanyan Aguda kissed him.

Pan Qiaolian did not come here alone, but also brought a group of servants and Ximen Qing, two of whom were holding sabers, which were called later generations. After unfolding, they were placed on the ice. Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian sat on them one by one. Ximen Qing stood behind them, but his eyes were staring at her precious son Wu Yiyong.

Pan Qiaolian took warm and tonic hot soup from the servants, which was packed in a satin-wrapped copper hand pot. It can not only be drunk, but also used to warm hands. Pan Qiaolian handed the copper hand pot in her hand to Wu Haogu, then took another one by himself, leaned against her husband, and smiled: "Wang Silang is indeed a seed of study. Our eldest brother just needs to have half of his hard work."

"Brother is okay, right?" Wu Haogu smiled, "It's just that I don't have the literary talent of the fourth brother."

Wu Yiyong is a bit biased towards science, has good mathematics, and has a little poor literature. Confucianism is just mixed, and has good music and painting. He has the best martial arts grades, which are almost comparable to Jin Wushu. Because Jin Wushu is older and more sensible, he studies hard and has good grades in all subjects. Especially literature and Confucianism are quite good, and they can be compared with those children from famous private schools. If you choose the Jinshi of the Left List as your goal, you may be able to go to high school.

"You have to hurry up," said Pan Qiaolian. "I will be admitted to primary school in two years. Although I don't have to worry about not being able to enter Sikai Academy, but..."

"There is no need to enter the Sikai Academy," Wu Haogu interrupted his wife, "Enter Knight Primary School."

"Knight Primary School?" Pan Qiaolian was stunned, "That's a young military student..."

Knight Primary School is also an academy that teaches Six Arts, but it focuses on martial arts and military studies and implements strict militarization management. Entering Knight Primary School is equivalent to joining the army.

Because it is a counterpart from the Knight Academy, a high proportion of students entering the Knight Primary School will become students of the Knight Academy and will become professional soldiers in the future.

"Next year is 1108..." Wu Haogu muttered in a low voice, "There are seven to eight years left... It seems that the Knights Elementary School will shorten the course to four years."

If nothing unexpected happens, Wu Yiyong and Wang Zongbi should have entered the Knights Primary School in 1110, entered the Knights Academy in 1114, and graduated in 1118. If there is a war, you can still be a year ahead of the battle of Ping Liao.

"Dalang, what are you going to say?" Pan Qiaolian asked in confusion.

"Not much," Wu Haogu smiled, "I think Yong'er is a martial artist. It would be too difficult to get him to take the left-ranking Jinshi. It's better to join the army. Sister, do you think so?"

"That's right!" Ximen Qing replied, "Xin'er and Brother Tie are similar, they are both the materials of brave warriors."

Wu Yixin and Wu Tiege entered elementary school one year later than Wu Yiyong. If nothing unexpected happens, they should have graduated from the Knights Academy in 1119.

"All of them join the army?" Pan Qiaolian frowned slightly. Her son Yijiu is still young and has not yet started a escaping. However, looking at Wu Haogu's approach to teaching his son, will he be taught to be a martial artist?

"Of course, they won't join the army." Wu Haogu knew Pan Qiaolian's thoughts, "Jiu'er has been weak since childhood, so she is afraid she can't bear the hardships of the military."

Pan Qiaolian breathed a sigh of relief and stopped discussing the issue of children's education with her husband, but turned the topic to Wu Haowen.

"Dalang, what's wrong with the second uncle? I went to Qingchi County for the New Year."

Of course, Wu Haowen was having a quarrel with his brother, but Wu Haogu would not say this to Pan Qiaolian, but just smiled and said, "He has a lot of things to do. Cangzhou Prefecture wants to move to Nanpi, build a new city in Nanpi, and send military service in the Cangzhou Procuratorate... He has to do it well!"

Cangzhou has blessed the great development of Jiehe Commercial City, and has become rich in recent years. Moreover, many knight masters have been placed in the territory, including real masters who have obtained official positions. In the state, there are many officials and countless wealthy people. The original Qingchi County was too shabby and was not suitable for the prefecture. So the pacifier of Gaoyangguan Road submitted a memorial last year, proposing to take the prefecture capital of Cangzhou to Nanpi County on the north side of the Yellow River, and build a city in Nanpi. Now Zhao Ji has approved this suggestion, and the specific implementation has been put on Wu Haowen.

This is a waste of credit! Wu Haowen and Hailu Shuaisi can use the resources of Jiehe Shangshi. It is not like building a county town? It is necessary to go to Qingchi County in such a hurry?

Pan Qiaolian is from a big family and has long been used to the intrigues in the mansion. How could she not tell that the two brothers are not in harmony? And she could vaguely guess the reason... It must be for the sake of the third brother in the family, and she is so virtuous! But what can I do about this? It’s hard to say.

When the scene was a little awkward, Wu Chenglan, who was guarding the river bank, came trotted all the way. When he arrived at Wu Haogu, he whispered: "Shishuai Xuan, my seventh brother and his family have arrived."

Wu Chenglan's seventh brother was the one who successfully started a business in Haizhou and became an agricultural capitalist. Wu Haogu invited him to Jiehe Market for the New Year, and by the way, there was a very important mission to send him to do it.
