That night, Yang Yuanqing stayed in the palace of Prince Jin. The full moon filled the branches and paths with silver light, and the palace was exceptionally quiet.
"Sir, go this way!"
The two palace maids each carried a bright orange lotus lantern to lead Yang Yuanqing. Through a circular courtyard door, Yang Yuanqing came to the guest room area. This is the west courtyard of the palace, which is even more spacious. The guest room area alone covers an area of five acres, an area of 5 acres.
There are more than a hundred houses, including exquisite single courtyards and rows of single houses. Most of the rooms are empty and closed, and only a few small courtyards are dimly lit with lights.
"Sir, we're here!"
Two palace maids stopped at the door of a small courtyard, pursed their lips and said with a smile: "We won't go in, we will wait here for the young master."
"Thank you both!"
Yang Yuanqing bowed his hands to them and walked into the yard. There was a leafy apricot tree in the yard, which was three to four feet tall and towering. There were three rooms in a row of houses with lights on, and the door of one of them was open.
, you can faintly hear the laughter of Fat Fish and Kang Bas.
"General!"
Yang Yuanqing suddenly heard someone calling him. When he turned around, he saw Yu Chiwan sitting on a branch of an apricot tree, looking lonely.
"Why are you here?"
Yang Yuanqing dexterously climbed up the big tree, sat next to her and asked with a smile: "What are they doing in the house? The sound of their laughter seems wrong."
"The two of them have made a fortune! What else can they be happy about?"
Yuchi Wan's heart was full of contempt for the two of them, and they had sworn on the road that they would never sell the horse to a powerful person. But now, a prince offered ten times the price, and they had long forgotten the oath they made on the road.
Especially the fat man regretted selling fifty horses to the Su family, which was too much.
"I found out that that damn fat man is even more greedy than Lao Kang!" Yu Chiwan said bitterly.
Yang Yuanqing couldn't help laughing, "He has been greedy for a long time. Did you find out after so many years?"
"Of course I know, and I also know that sooner or later he will be killed by greed."
Yang Yuanqing smiled knowingly, "I'll see where they go."
He was about to jump off the tree, but Yuchi Wan stopped him, "General, I have something to ask, please give me some advice."
Yuchi Wan was so depressed that she couldn't help but tell the truth. In fact, she had been engaged since she was a child in her hometown."
"Are you running away from your marriage?" Yang Yuanqing somewhat understood what she meant.
Yuchi Wan nodded and whispered: "Part of it is to join the army for my father, and part of it is to escape from marriage."
She sighed and added: "I haven't liked that person since I was a child, so I had no choice but to join the army and escape from marriage."
Only then did Yang Yuanqing understand why she immediately turned against Yuchi as soon as she mentioned the marriage to Yuchi. It turned out that she had something hidden.
"But five years have passed, will that person still wait for you?"
"The woman cannot cancel the engagement. Even if he is already married, he can still take me as his concubine. If I marry, I will have to go to court. Even if I can escape it, my parents can't escape it either."
Yu Chiwan was worried to the extreme, Yang Yuanqing glanced at her and smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will find a way to cancel your engagement for you. I believe that as long as I take action, the person will obediently cancel the engagement, but this time
, you must go back to visit your parents no matter what."
Yuchi Wan was startled and waved her hands quickly, "General, I can handle the engagement matter myself. Don't mess around. That person is my cousin."
Yang Yuanqing pondered for a while, then nodded and said calmly: "Okay! I won't interfere. If you need help, just ask."
Although Yang Yuanqing regarded Yuchi Wan as a man most of the time, sometimes he would also remember that Yuchi was a female soldier and was already twenty years old. This age was already very dangerous in the Sui Dynasty. A man getting married late could be understood as making a successful career, but
Women are not good at it, they play different social roles, and late marriage is not tolerated by family etiquette. Perhaps this is the real reason why Yuchi dare not go home.
Yang Yuanqing didn't know what to do. He was decisive on the battlefield, but he was unable to do anything about this kind of thing. He originally wanted Yuchi to go home and let her family discuss marriage with her, but he didn't expect that she was already engaged.
, leaving Yang Yuanqing helpless.
He jumped off the tree and walked towards the room. When he reached the door, he turned back and said: "Yuchi, go back and discuss life-long matters with your sister!"
Yuchiwan scratched her hair. Her heart was also full of distress. She didn't want to get married at all. Why did everyone force her? Even Yang Yuanqing didn't understand.
She suddenly remembered something. She was going to serve as a guard for Princess Yicheng. This matter had not yet been discussed with Yang Yuanqing.
"General! General!"
She shouted twice, but Yang Yuanqing didn't hear her. He had already walked into the room.
In the room, Fat Fish and Compas smiled and narrowed their eyes. They were dividing the money. The money they received for selling horses was all silver. There were hundreds of official silver piled on the table, all of which were silver cakes cast in Lingnan. Fifty taels
A piece of silver is wealth, not currency. It is mainly used to reward military merits, but it can also be exchanged for money from the di shop. Yang Yuanqing remembers that five years ago, one tael of silver could be exchanged for twenty coins.
Their one hundred and fifty horses were sold for a total of fifteen thousand taels of silver, which is ten times the market price. For ordinary people, this is unimaginable generosity. But when you think that Yang Zhao is the grandson of the King of Jin, all the inconceivability is easily solved.
.
On the first day after returning to Beijing, they sold horses and made a fortune.
Yang Yuanqing sat down and asked the two of them with a smile, "Tell me, what are your plans for this money?"
"General, I think" Combas hesitated, not knowing what to say.
"Lao Kang, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't be so hesitant."
Combas couldn't speak, but Fat Fish said for him, "General, he means that he wants to retire from the army and go into business."
Yang Yuanqing was silent. For a moment, he slowly asked Compas, "Have you decided?"
Combas nodded silently and sighed: "It has been five years. I miss my wife and daughter very much. I want to open a shop in the capital and bring them over."
"Okay! No problem, I will arrange your military status for you."
Combas suddenly fell to his knees in front of Yang Yuanqing, and he started crying, "General, I don't want to leave you, but I really do."
Yang Yuanqing quickly helped him up, patted his shoulder, and comforted him: "Lao Kang, don't apologize for anything. We can all understand. After all, you have a wife and daughter. Unlike us, we are all single and have nothing to worry about."
Fat Fish muttered beside him: "Actually, I also want to be concerned."
Yang Yuanqing was angry and funny. He turned around and punched him, "You kid, shut your mouth!"
Yang Yuanqing comforted Compas for a few more words, then glanced sideways at the fat fish and said, "Tell me! You fat fish, what are your plans?"
Fat Fish blinked his little eyes and laughed, "Actually, I just made an agreement with Lao Kang. I will invest all the money I earned this time in him. I will have a share in his shop in the future. I think Lao Kang is indeed very good."
He knows how to do business, and a pair of broken porcelain bottles was turned into tens of thousands of taels of silver by him. He is simply the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, Kang Caishen!"
Yang Yuanqing stretched out his hand and slapped his scalp, and scolded him with a smile: "That's because the King of Jin is looking after me. Do you think he will pay attention to you? And your horses, if I hadn't told the Turks, do you think they would?"
Sell you a war horse? You kid actually forgot about me."
Fat Fish covered his head and said: "Of course I know it's you, but do I dare to say it? What if you want a share of the pie?"
Yang Yuanqing and Kang Bas couldn't help laughing. Who said this fat guy has no heart?
At this moment, a palace maid said at the door: "General Yang, my prince is looking for you in the front hall!"
"I'll go right away!"
Yang Yuanqing nodded and ordered them: "Since you have money, you should find a shop as soon as possible. If you find a shop, move out. I will go to Renshou Palace tomorrow. It may take some time to come back. Fat Fish will help me put the five hundred gold
Compensate them one by one, and then you can go back to Dali City, and then I will go back directly."
"General, don't worry! We know what's going on."
Yang Yuanqing patted Combas on the shoulder again and said earnestly: "Old Kang, do your best. If you have any difficulties in the capital, just go to the Yang Mansion and they will help you solve it."
Combas was moved in his heart and nodded silently.
Yang Yuanqing turned around and headed to the front yard.
Returning to the front hall, he saw Yang Zhao carrying a large plate of fruit. While eating, he curiously looked up and down a cloth bag. Yang Yuanqing recognized it at a glance. It was the cloth bag he had placed in Yang's house. Yang Xuanting added it to the front hall.
It was sent back, but how did he know that he was in Prince Jin's Mansion?
When Yang Zhao saw Yang Yuanqing coming back, he smiled and said, "This is what Yang Mansion sent just now, saying it is yours."
He asked curiously: "What's in this? It feels heavy."
"It's my military merit!"
Yang Yuanqing smiled and said, "It's filled with lime."
"lime?"
Yang Zhao didn't understand what the relationship between lime and military merit was. He looked at Yuan Qing suspiciously.
Yang Yuanqing opened the cloth bag and found a wooden box inside. He smiled and said: "There is a human head in the lime. It belongs to the head of the Western Turks Datou Khan. Do you want to see it, Your Highness?"
Yang Zhao was startled and waved his hands repeatedly, "No! No! I won't watch."
He suddenly came to his senses, his eyes widened suddenly, and he asked in surprise: "Are you the head of the Western Turks Bujia Khan here?"
Yang Yuanqing nodded and said with a faint smile: "This is my military merit. I think your Majesty would really like to see it with your own eyes."
"I can present it to the emperor's grandfather for you. We will set off to Renshou Palace tomorrow morning. You and I will go together."
