"Brother Qin, you're welcome. Just take the princess's reward... What's more, you really helped the princess in Qiqi City. You deserve it..."
Seeing that Qin Jinyang was a little restrained, the consort Bai Taikong waved his hand to relieve Qin Jinyang's embarrassment.
Upon seeing this, the servant immediately placed the elixir in front of Qin Jinyang.
"The consort is right, I give you the elixir, just take it. The Northern Eagle Flying General back then was so thick-skinned, he didn't know how to show off!"
"There is a reason why I gave you three pills! The first one is to reward you for saving Jiang Youliang's life... Although that stupid boy is annoying, he was my follower when he was a child. His wife died before she even got married.
What a pity Qi Qicheng is."
"The second one is for killing that bitch Xin Shancha."
"This third one...I am happy today."
"Husband, I am a little tired. You can drink with the guests. I will leave first!"
"By the way, you are now in the third rank, so you are going to Yuzhi Academy, right? By coincidence, I may also go there for a while, and maybe I can take care of you..."
As soon as the words fell, the delicate princess left leisurely. The scene of people crowding around made Qin Jinyang envious.
After the princess left, the atmosphere in the dining hall suddenly relaxed, and even the servants who were waiting secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"That...then...I'm not welcome..."
Qin Jinyang smiled at the Prince Consort and finally took away the three Origin Heart Pills.
He never expected that he could be related to that crazy female Xin Shancha.
"Haha, Brother Qin, please..."
Bai Taikong smiled heartily, stood up again, and helped Qin Jinyang pour the wine himself.
I have to admit that the handsome prince-in-law's smile is really just right and makes people feel like spring breeze.
“I don’t dare to take it, I don’t dare to take it!”
Qin Jinyang stood up quickly.
When the prince-in-law poured the wine himself, his reputation increased.
"Last time Jiang Youliang returned to the palace, he praised Brother Qin in front of the princess, and kept saying that you and him are good brothers. If it wasn't for the royal status and inappropriate status, we would definitely become sworn brothers... Since you are Jiang Youliang's good brother, you are also my Bai Taikong.
Brother..."
"They are all family members, there is nothing to be polite about!"
Bai Taikong smiled and said a few words, and the relationship between the two people became closer.
"Your Majesty, you are so complimentary!"
Qin Jinyang smiled.
Speaking of which, it’s been a long time since I last saw you.
Jiang Youliang, Yan Shaoyu... I don't know how these two guys are doing.
Especially Yan Shaoyu, the pressure is a bit high.
Prince Luan is in charge of Yundong Province, and if he wants to establish a martial arts palace, he will most likely go to Helan Villa.
Qin Jinyang suggested to his master and his wife to merge Helan Villa and Yi Cangzong, but their master and his wife directly refused.
As far as the imperial court was concerned, the former minister did not want to see the unified Jianghu forces.
Only endless fighting is the scene that the court wants.
Once all the sects in Yundong Province are unified, what will the imperial court be?
At that time, disaster will come.
Therefore, on the surface, Helan Villa and Yi Cangzong are only in an alliance, while Yundong Province is still in chaos, and it is still temporarily hostile to the Huangyun Sect.
"Brother Qin, you may not understand the relationship between Jiang Youliang and the princess..."
"The princess's mother died when the emperor was on patrol, and helped her father block the assassin's sword... Therefore, my father doted on Princess Xuanjin."
"In addition, when Princess Xuanjin's mother was still alive, she was the concubine chosen by the Empress Dowager herself, and she was the most favored by the Empress Dowager. With the favor of her biological father and grandmother, Princess Xuanjin's temper became a little more arrogant.
"Princess Xuanjin's mother had just been buried. The princess had trouble sleeping at night. She had a high fever and couldn't get enough water and rice. Her life was in danger. One day, the princess went out to relax and went to Prince Luan's Mansion to hang out... Maybe Prince Luan's Mansion had good feng shui. Princess
Suddenly she regained her appetite and started eating, so my father issued an order for the princess to live in Prince Luan's Mansion until she recovered from her illness before returning to the palace."
"In this way, the princess recovered day by day in Prince Luan's Mansion. Jiang Youliang was only a few years old at that time, and he followed the princess every day. The princess was naughty, and the two of them fished for fish and dug out bird's nests. They were closest to each other. Although they were cousins, they were closer than full siblings.
Want to kiss."
"You rescued Jiang Youliang in Qiqi City. The princess really treats you as one of her own."
The prince-in-law gave a brief explanation.
"I see!"
Qin Jinyang nodded.
On the way to the princess's mansion, the two eunuchs repeatedly emphasized that Princess Xuanjin's status was extraordinary.
It turned out that the Empress Dowager was backing her.
sharp!
In fact, both eunuchs couldn't figure out why Qin Jinyang could have a relationship with Princess Xuanjin.
You know, even Eunuch Han is not qualified to talk to the princess.
"When you arrive at Yuzhi Academy, wait with peace of mind... The princess and I will also go there for a while soon."
"The princess sits on behalf of the father and is also a special imperial envoy. She will put in a good word for you when the time comes. Although the stubborn old guys in the academy are stubborn, the princess still needs to give her face."
Bai Taikong patted Qin Jinyang on the shoulder.
"Thank you, Prince Consort!"
Qin Jinyang clasped his fists.
"Yuzhi Academy! Alas...it's been many years since we said goodbye."
"The princess and I met at Yuzhi Academy. We were both students at that time..."
Bai Taikong sighed, and a touch of sweetness suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he was recalling some sweet times.
"At that time, the national power of the Dachang Kingdom was not very strong, but it was already eyeing the Zhongzhou Dynasty. The Dachang Palace sent a delegation to the Yuzhi Academy for discussion... There was a witch named Xin Shancha who practiced a magic skill that was cruel and vicious.
I beat up several female students along the way..."
"The princess was so angry that she committed suicide... Fortunately, the princess was extremely talented and defeated Xin Shancha on the spot, saving the face of the dynasty..."
"Unfortunately, the princess was also injured... Later, when the princess was recovering from her injuries, she had to take some forbidden drugs, so her body became swollen and her appearance was no longer the same as before."
"Because of her obesity, the princess wanted to attack the Dachen Kingdom with her sword several times... But the border of Zhongzhou is full of dangers, and it is impossible for the father to start a war just because of the princess's happiness and anger..."
"You killed Xin Shancha in Qiqi City, and you really understood the princess's heartache... You are not afraid of your jokes. When you heard the news of Xin Shancha's death, the princess stayed up all night."
Bai Taikong briefly talked about the past grudges between Princess Xuanjin and Xin Shancha.
"I see……"
Qin Jinyang nodded.
When I killed Xinshan Tea, it was just to rush the market. I didn’t expect that there would be subsequent benefits.
"The princess you see now has been recuperated with elixirs... In the first few months of recovery, the princess's body was swollen and her whole body was shapeless..."
"She even had a tendency to commit suicide... At that time, I was determined to never leave her, so I moved the princess and finally became the consort..."
Bai Taikong said.
"The relationship between the princess and the consort can be regarded as a couple of gods and gods... I'm envious!"
Qin Jinyang sighed.
Although the prince-in-law did not mention more details, the two people must have experienced a lot of ups and downs.
From the eyes of the consort, Qin Jinyang could see his admiration for the princess.
In fact, the princess treated her husband-in-law with respect as a guest, which was different from the imagined scenario of a husband-in-law who would slap her at every turn.
…
The two chatted for a while.
Bai Taikong especially liked to hear about the heroes in the world. The chat with Qin Jinyang became more and more hearty, and the dishes were served again.
The two of them chatted until evening, before Qin Jinyang left.
Before leaving, Bai Taikong still had some unfinished thoughts.
"Brother Qin, your Beiying Mansion is old and needs to be repaired. When the time comes, I will introduce you to several skilled craftsmen, all of whom are royal craftsmen who cannot be hired with money..."
"By the way, I will introduce you to a few more princes-in-law and uncles from various princes... When we all get acquainted, through them, I can introduce you to some princesses who are not yet married. Unfortunately, my father does not have any.
A princess of the right age is getting married."
Bai Taikong was a little drunk and squeezed Qin Jinyang's shoulders tightly.
"Uh...hehe...let's get together when we have time..."
Qin Jinyang laughed a few times.
This is really a son-in-law alliance.
"Although a royal marriage is a marriage, the Queen Mother is open-minded and will respect the opinions of the princesses and princesses, and also allows them to choose their own husbands... Once you get to know the sons-in-law of the royal family, you can accidentally get to know a few more princesses.
The one near the water should get the moon first!"
"Don't expect anything from Prince Luan's mansion. Prince Luan doesn't have a princess of suitable age for marriage."
"Don't underestimate us son-in-laws. Just be idle sons-in-law and do business, and you will live a rich and prosperous life. How fulfilling it will be."
Seeing that Qin Jinyang's expression was not too happy, Bai Taikong seemed to have seen through something, smiled and continued:
"Brother Qin, I know what you are thinking... At your age, I also have great ambitions in mind... The thing that bothers you is that the consort cannot be appointed as an official, right?"
"Honesty is harsh to the ears, but I'm not afraid of your sadness, so I'll tell the truth... You, Northern Eagle Flying General, are actually just a false name. Even if you graduate from Yuzhi Academy, there will still be no official vacancies..."
"The current situation is that there are too many candidates for office, but too few vacancies... How many outstanding talents have survived from youth to middle age, and even into old age... They can only wait for vacancies in the Kyoto Imperial Guard, unknowingly
A lifetime wasted."
Bai Taikong shook his head and couldn't help but sigh.
Thanks to the alcohol, his eyes were still a little moist.
Perhaps, Bai Taikong also thought of how sharp he was when he was young.
Qin Jinyang nodded...
He heard the eunuchs talking.
Every year in the dynasty, there are top picks and top picks... There are also various descendants of distinguished nobles rising up. The emperor can't wait to gather all the young people under his command... This group of people are the same, they all want to pursue an official career and make contributions...
…
But the dynasty has long stopped expanding its territory, and there are so many vacancies in the world. What's more, with the fall of the city in recent years, not only are there not many vacancies, but they are getting fewer and fewer.
All these people can do is wait...
During the waiting period, you can choose to return to your hometown to practice, but there will be no salary.
You can do business, or you can work as a guest of a high-ranking official, which is called learning government administration in advance...
Similarly, you can choose to stay in the Royal Guards and stay closer to the emperor while guarding Kyoto.
Of course, the imperial guards are paid, but they are not high.
As long as your brain is not burned out, you will know that it is a joke to go back to your hometown and wait, and it is even more nonsense to serve as a hawk for free for the officials of the current dynasty.
Most of them choose to be in the Royal Forest Army.
The emperor was also smart, using the least amount of money to build the most loyal, youngest, and most dedicated army of gold and iron...
If there are no accidents, with Qin Jinyang's resume, if he wants to pursue an official career... first, go to Yuzhi Academy for further studies, and after graduation, serve in the Yulin Army...
As for whether I can wait until an official position becomes vacant in the future, it depends on fate.
Perhaps there are vacancies in some remote areas, but the hearts of these people in the Imperial Guard are as high as the sky, and no one will go there.
In fact, it is not surprising that these best people are staying in Kyoto. They have seen the life and death of the imperial city, so who would want to go to the countryside.
"Actually, many people want to go to war... People will die in war. Only if enough people die can more vacancies be made..."
"But what does this and other things have to do with our consort? We only focus on making money. Although we don't participate in running the country, we don't delay making money... In a man's life, it is also a kind of success to train his children to be unparalleled talents."
"They are working so hard at the border just for us to be free and at ease? Hahaha!"
After patting Qin Jinyang's shoulder hard again, Bai Taikong turned around and went back.
well……
Qin Jinyang stood at the door.
He could feel that Bai Taikong was deceiving himself and others, and he felt unwilling in his heart.
Money, silver... is just a tool.
The greatest achievement in a man's heart is always power.
…
Qin Jinyang turned around, and after walking a few steps, he saw an acquaintance.
"elder brother……"
Yao Xiaojie stood in the middle of the road, slim and graceful.
Qin Jinyang rubbed his eyes.
It had been a long time since we last saw Yao Xiaojie, and her whole body stood upright.
She also became more beautiful.
Could it be that he is a water breeder from Kyoto?
Meeting an old friend in a foreign land, Qin Jinyang was a little excited for a while.
"you……"
Qin Jinyang pointed at Yao Xiaojie and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Brother... you went to the princess mansion at noon, why did you come out at night? I've been waiting for you here all afternoon!"
Although Yao Xiaojie pouted, the joy in her eyes could not be suppressed at all.
There were even some tears in the corners of her eyes.
These are not tears of sadness, but tears of excitement and happiness.
"Haha, I had a lot of fun chatting with the Prince Consort... How was your stay in Kyoto? Did anyone bully you?"
Qin Jinyang stepped forward and gently stroked Yao Xiaojie's head.
This dress is completely different from that in the countryside.
"With Eunuch Han's help, I am now the little princess's personal maid... Brother, thank you!"
Yao Xiaojie's eyes became increasingly red.
Only when she came to Kyoto did Yao Xiaojie realize what it means to be a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.
Walking on the street, it seems that everyone has an unfathomable background.
My father was so naive back then, thinking that with a little money he could serve the princess.
My father was too stupid. In fact, the Yao family was deceived. The so-called distant relative just accepted the money and allowed him to come to Kyoto for a stroll.
Not to mention serving princesses and concubines... you are not even qualified to have contact with the concubines of high-ranking officials in the imperial court.
You can't imagine how many young girls came to Kyoto.
The money has been spent, and when the time comes, I can only go back in despair.
Yao Xiaojie witnessed a large number of country girls coming in a hurry and then returning with frustrated faces.
What's more, the whole family borrowed money to come here, trying to change the fate of the family by working as a maid and getting in touch with high-ranking officials.
Unfortunately, country people are still too naive.
A first- or second-level warrior is a common passerby in Kyoto.
Some of the most prestigious brothels in Kyoto, all the courtesans inside are of the third grade...
Some rural girls have no choice but to go to brothels to perform as entertainers... Although they do not sell themselves as performers, who knows where they will go when they are desperate.
Yao Xiaojie made great leaps all the way and finally became the little princess's personal maid, which was as difficult as an imperial examination.
"Don't be too polite to me... Is the little princess difficult to take care of? Have you been wronged?"
Qin Jinyang asked again.
"No, the little princess is a bit naughty, but she likes me very much... In fact, these princesses and princes are also very pitiful. They are surrounded by people who want to take advantage of them. A place like the palace is too snobbish."
Yao Xiaojie sighed.
She has experienced humility and insignificance all the way to being in the spotlight, and now, wearing the tiger skin of a little princess, she actually has some considerable authority.
Even the maid herself is surrounded by all kinds of flatterers.
But Yao Xiaojie also knew in her heart that once she fell out of favor, these people would immediately come to add insult to injury.
"Brother, I came to you this time because I heard that you are going to Beiying Mansion. My ability is limited, so I helped you find out some information..."
Yao Xiaojie said hurriedly.
…
It was getting dark, and Yao Xiaojie wanted to coax the little princess to sleep. It was inconvenient to stay outside the palace, so she said a few words and hurried back to the palace.
Ever since Yao Xiaojie heard that Qin Jinyang was going to inherit Beiying Mansion, she had been helping him find out the news.
In fact, there was no special information. The two young eunuchs also told a lot of information along the way.
When Zhao Beiying retired and returned to his hometown, the Beiying Mansion in Kyoto still belonged to Zhao Beiying. According to the law, it was inherited by Zhao Beiying's descendants.
Later, Zhao Beiying died without any descendants.
But after all, he left a message, whoever can get the Northern Eagle Order will be the successor.
The emperor kept everything that belonged to Zhao Beiying.
Because of his outstanding achievements and fame in those days, Beiying Mansion has always been safe and sound, under the care of his former domestic slaves.
The domestic slave came from a small country that had perished. Zhao Beiying destroyed another small country and saved many slaves. At that time, there was a slave with extremely high qualifications and talent, and he followed Zhao Beiying all the time.
Over the years, this slave was loyal and loyal, and even made great achievements on the battlefield many times. Zhao Beiying even recommended him to become an official in the court, but the slave refused directly and vowed to serve his master all his life.
At that time, many people envied Zhao Beiying for having such loyal subordinates.
The main point why Yao Xiaojie came over was how many descendants this slave had.
These descendants are accustomed to living in Beiying Mansion and have always regarded Beiying Mansion as their home. In addition, the slaves themselves are extremely talented and have become fifth-grade masters many years ago.
The offspring of geniuses will not have weak qualifications.
The descendants of the slaves are also figures. Following the relationship between the Northern Eagle Flying Generals, these descendants have also gained some authority in the capital. Two of them even married wives and had children, and their wives' families also have some power.
The two eunuchs told Qin Jinyang along the way that he must handle the relationship between the descendants of his slaves.
Cui Sishan!
The slave's name is Cui Sishan.
Several of his children are talented and have good martial arts achievements, and they all serve in the Royal Forest Army.
In other words, these children are all waiting for official positions to become vacant.
The young eunuch also said that General Beiying Fei had made great contributions back then, and the emperor had rewarded him with many royal bricks.
Using these precious bricks to build a house can create a spirit-gathering effect similar to that found in a royal palace.
Even in Kyoto, few mansions have treasure bricks.
It's no wonder that the descendants of domestic slaves can achieve great success. It's strange that they grew up in this kind of environment and are mediocre.
…
Beiying Mansion!
Cui Sishan put on brand new clothes.
Early in the morning, he took a shower and changed clothes, and had already knelt down before Zhao Beiying's memorial tablet.
Behind him are three men, one woman, and four children.
The four children also kowtowed respectfully to Zhao Beiying’s spiritual throne.
"The young master should be back soon... We are the slaves that the master rescued. Once we are slaves, we will be slaves for life! Don't think that just because you are flattered by the outside world, you will be complacent."
"If I hadn't taken care of you back then, you would have starved to death long ago."
"If you let me know who dares to be disrespectful to the young master, don't blame my family for serving him!"
Cui Sixhan was not stupid. He knew that several children were dissatisfied.
After all, the young master was born out of nowhere and was not his own flesh and blood.
But so what.
The master said during his lifetime that whoever gets the Northern Eagle Order will be the Northern Eagle Flying General.
All I need to do is listen to the master and that's enough.
In fact, Cui Sixhan knew in his heart that even if he was the master's own flesh and blood, his children would not be convinced.
They grew up in Kyoto, Zhongzhou. Although the country was destroyed, they were supposed to be the descendants of slaves. If the master had not saved them back then, their fate would have been to be slaves forever.
But since they were young, they have been no different from the people in Zhongzhou, and their status is even more noble than that of ordinary people.
The children have become arrogant without knowing it.
"My child understands!"
The four children knelt down in unison.
In front of this unsmiling father, no one dared to show any disrespect.
"Um……"
Cui Sishan nodded.
He looked at the eldest and second eldest son emphatically.
When the country fell, the eldest and the second child were already quite old. Now they are married and have children. Both daughters-in-law have some backgrounds. Now is the time when their ambitions are at their most swollen.
But his son is afraid of him, so he shouldn't cause any trouble.
If you make the young master unhappy, the worst possible outcome is to separate the family and have the two of them move out of Beiying Mansion.
…
ps: Sorry everyone, I originally wanted to add another chapter today, but I waited all night...
My mood is broken!
Starting tomorrow, close all media and code with peace of mind.
