After walking out of Tian Ergeng's house and walking until the people queuing behind could no longer be seen, Xu Jian seemed to have come back to her senses.
"You didn't say anything about me. Is that okay?"
"So, now you can only be a commander-in-chief!" Jiang Wan smiled and shook his head: "Yes, that's enough. When your Commander Tian came to the concierge in person, I knew that it was done.
Got it!"
"Please tell me carefully!" Xu Jian was still confused and didn't understand what happened.
"The fact that your commander-in-chief can personally come to pick up this little deacon who has never seen me before shows that he attaches great importance to His Highness King Xin sending someone to congratulate him!" Jiang Wan smiled and said: "Otherwise, he wouldn't have done it in front of the concierge.
So many people here pointed out my identity!"
He pointed at Xu Jian with a smile: "You must know that you are a subordinate of Commander Tian. As a deacon of the palace, I brought you here instead of the servants of the palace. The meaning of this is that it is still useful.
Let me tell you, but you have to know something in your heart. No matter how you are in the Jinyi Guards, I am afraid that Commander Tian will not treat you as one of his own in the future, but will treat you as one of His Highness the King!"
"Without your guidance, how would our commander know about a little person like me, let alone one of our own!" Xu Jian laughed, but didn't care much. Anyway, for him, no matter if it is his own commander,
Or His Royal Highness King Xin, they are all high and mighty figures, and he cannot reach them even if he wants to.
"Didn't your commander ask you to stay and report back later? He will definitely ask about your relationship with me. Do you know what to say?"
"I remember, didn't you tell me when you came here that you and I are neighbors and have some personal relationships!" Xu Jian replied with a smile: "But we are all from the same family, so this is not a lie to the commander!"
"That's it, I don't know anything else!" Jiang Wan nodded: "Your commander is doubtful about your words, but he probably won't go into too much detail. You don't have to worry about the next thing. Just wait.
!”
Jiang Wan looked at the box in his hand, "What is Commander Tian's return gift?"
"It's a fire gun, a short fire gun!" Xu Jian opened the box and took a look, her face became brighter: "Mr. Jiang, I think this short fire gun is worth more than five hundred taels of silver!"
Jiang Wan looked at the box and laughed. There was a beautifully shaped short fire gun in the box. At first glance, it was not in the style of the Ming Dynasty's Artwork Bureau, but it looked like some overseas style. If nothing else, it should be
It is the kind of "gift weapon" of later generations. Its beauty and value far outweigh its practicality. Just from the ring of gems inlaid on the handle of this fire gun, it is obvious that this fire gun is definitely worth more than five hundred dollars.
Two silver coins.
"Then we have made a profit!" Jiang Wan pointed to the box: "Put it away. I have to bring this thing back to His Highness King Xin. I can't leave it in your hands. Do you have any objections?"
"No objection, no objection!" Xu Jian shook his head repeatedly: "Only a person like His Highness King Xin is worthy of such a treasure. What do I want to keep? Do I think I will live longer?"
The two slowly and leisurely returned to the vicinity of the Tenth Prince's Mansion. When they were about to break up, Xu Jian couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Jiang, did you really tell Prince Xin about this little thing about me?"
"Otherwise!" Jiang Wan tilted her head and looked at him: "Do you think I am so brave that I dare to pretend to be the prince and lie in front of the commander of the Jinyi Guard?"
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant!" Xu Jian stammered: "I'm asking first, if it's true, if I'm lucky enough to be able to live in hundreds of households, then I can be considered a disciple of Prince Xin.
?"
"What are you thinking about!" Jiang Wan laughed and scolded: "It's a sweet dream in broad daylight. At best, you can be my disciple. There are countless people who want to be our prince's disciple. Wait until you have thousands of households in Jinyiwei before you consider such a thing.
!”
"Qianhu of Jinyiwei!" Xu Jian took a breath of air: "I don't dare to think about such a thing even if I'm drunk..."
"Then you can think about it now..." Jiang Wan waved her hand, took the gun box from his hand, and walked into the Tenth Prince's Mansion.
Watching Jiang Wan's back disappear through the door, Xu Jian was agitated and ran back.
"Brother, big brother!" He ran to Qingyun Tower in one breath and couldn't wait to pull Xu Bai into the room: "Do you know where Mr. Jiang took me?"
"I won't take you to a brothel to spend the money!" Xu Bai replied deliberately casually when he saw his excited look.
"He took me to see our Commander in Chief!" Xu Jian lost his composure in front of Jiang Wan and said a little excitedly: "It was said that King Xin sent him to give a congratulatory gift to our Commander, but the Commander
The Lord came out in person to greet us!"
He told everything about what he saw and heard in Tian Ergen's place. Xu Bai listened quietly all the time. When he finished speaking, he slowly spoke: "He said, will things be done in this way?"
?”
"Well, brother, do you think this is reliable?" Xu Jian nodded: "I don't understand Mr. Jiang's behavior!"
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, just do it!" Xu Bai nodded slowly: "He can persuade His Highness King Xin to let him do things under the banner of His Highness King Xin, which is something you will never be able to do in your life.
If anything, follow him closely and do as he tells you!"
"Then I'll go back and report to the Commander!" Xu Jian nodded solemnly: "When I followed Mr. Jiang just now, I didn't feel anything, but now that I think about going to see the Commander alone, my legs are a little agitated.
I’m so weak that I can’t live up to expectations!”
"Go!" Xu Bai patted him on the shoulder: "If you are braver, maybe our Xu family will also have a character!"
As soon as Xu Jian arrived at Tian Ergen's mansion, someone took him in directly, probably on Tian Ergen's orders.
Everything was as Jiang Wan expected. Tian Ergeng first asked Jiang Wan about his duties and location, and then asked him why he came to him today with the deacons from the Tenth Prince's Palace.
Following Jiang Wan's instructions, Xu Jian answered one by one. He did not dare to say any unnecessary words.
Tian Ergeng was not amiable in front of him, but he was not amiable in front of Jiang Wan. Xu Jian could stand and speak eloquently without tying his tongue. He already felt that he had performed beyond his capacity.
"You're from the Dongcheng Qianhu Office!" Tian Ergen pondered for a moment, with a smile on his face: "I remember if the deputy Qianhu Office in the Dongcheng Qianhu Office was vacant. You have been in Beizhen Fusi for many years, and your skills and experience are
I think so, I will go back and see you Qianhu, and then ask you Qianhu to take you to the experience department to make up for this deputy Qianhu!"
"Ah! Thank you, Commander, for the promotion!" Xu Jian was stunned for a long time before he remembered to thank Tian Ergen: "I will do my best to repay the favor of Commander, Commander!"
"Do your job well!" Tian Ergen nodded slightly: "It is the time for the imperial court to employ people, and I, the Fusi of Beizhen, also want to learn from the old and adopt the new. Among my subordinates, as long as you have the ability, you are not afraid of not being able to get ahead!"
