Tang Jiusheng had the most peaceful sleep in three years. Where could he be more peaceful than sleeping at his own home? Tang Jiusheng sat up from his comfortable big bed and looked back at his bedroom. It was hard to imagine that the second son of the Imperial Master's family would live there.

Such an ordinary bedroom. The only valuable object in the bedroom is the ink orchid painting hanging on the wall, which was the calligraphy treasure of Cheng Yuncheng, a master of this dynasty.

Cheng Yuncheng was a lonely person. He would not sell his calligraphy and paintings to any princes or nobles who wanted to buy them. He did not take these common people seriously at all. It was for Tang Fulong's sake that he gave such a painting as a gift. Tang Fulong was proud of it.

After being complacent for several days, Tang Jiusheng liked this painting, so he asked him to hang it in his bedroom.

In addition, there is a canopy bed with long carved hollows, a small table made of brown pear wood, two embroidery piers, a celadon vase on the small table with a bouquet of longevity flowers in it, and one against the wall.

There are more than a dozen books on the small pearwood bookshelf, such as "Tai Gong's Art of War" and "Qingxuan Formation Pictures", as well as several "East Chamber" and "The Spring and Autumn Annals of the Han Dynasty".

Miscellaneous books.

Tang Jiusheng got up from the bed, took off his pajamas, put on his scholar's uniform, and walked to the bookshelf. The bookshelf was spotless. Apparently, in the three years since Tang Jiusheng left home, maids and maids often came to clean the room. Tang Jiusheng looked at the bookshelf and sighed.

After a while, he opened the small window of the bedroom, and what he saw was still the lawn that he often played on when he was a child, but his mother, eldest brother and two sisters were no longer on the lawn.

Things have changed and people have changed, which makes Tang Jiu Sheng feel sad. Tang Jiu Sheng left his bedroom and went to the small study room next door. The two rows of bookshelves in the small study room were filled with books, including classics and history. These books were written when Tang Jiu Sheng was still young.

He had already read nearly half of it when he was at home. He would read until late at night every day without the supervision of his parents.

On the small sandalwood desk, pens, inks, papers and inkstones were still neatly placed. Tang Jiusheng took a sniff and found that the study was still filled with the familiar fragrance of books and ink. The screen in the small study was given by the late Emperor Huizong, who worked on calligraphy and painting.

The calligraphy and painting on the screen are Huizong's imperial brushes. This thing is a rare thing. If it were taken to an auction house now, it would definitely be worth a lot of money. There will never be another thing like this on the market.

Of course, during the days when he left home to study in Heyue Academy, Tang Jiu Sheng spent more time practicing martial arts than reading. Qiu Shanze was a strict teacher. His disciples would be beaten and scolded if they did not practice martial arts hard. For Tang Jiu Sheng, Qiu Shanze treated Tang Jiu Sheng better than others.

Other disciples were more strict. Akiyama Ze firmly believed that since ancient times, strict teachers have produced outstanding disciples.

Although he was often scolded by his master, Tang Jiusheng did not hate Qiu Shanze. Whenever he made some achievements and improved his martial arts level, Qiu Shanze would get drunk with joy. Looking at this proud disciple, his eyes were filled with joy.

.

Tang Jiusheng thought of his master's death, and of Qiu Yunong, the scum of the sect. Tang Jiusheng would not let Qiu Yunong go. Tang Jiusheng believed that the retribution of the bad guys would come sooner or later. He might not dare to say anything else.

It can certainly be done, but when it comes to dealing with Qiu Yunong, he is confident that he has the strength to do so.

The little maid Qiu Ju saw the young master pushing open the bedroom window, smiling and carrying a pot of tribute tea into the bedroom, but found that the young master was not there. Qiu Ju looked at the study next door and found that the young master was standing in the study in a daze, "Second Young Master, you

Are you awake? Let's drink a bowl of tea first. Today's dinner is very rich, so it may be late. The Imperial Master said that when you wake up, he will let you move around and then go out to eat." As she spoke, Qiu Ju poured a cup of tea.

A bowl of tea is placed on the desk.

These maids in the Imperial Master's Mansion were very interesting. Qiu Lan called Tang Jiu Sheng the second young master, while Qiu Ju insisted on calling them the second young master. Anyway, they could call them whatever they wanted. Tang Jiu Sheng didn't mind. Even if they just called him Tang Jiu Sheng, he wouldn't mind either.

Tang Jiusheng sat on the chair in front of the desk, picked up the celadon bowl and drank the tea slowly. After drinking for a while, Tang Jiusheng put down the tea bowl, looked at the pretty Qiu Ju, and joked: "Qiu Ju, I haven't seen you in three years, and you haven't seen her for three years."

She has grown into a big girl! But our maid’s name is just tacky, Qiu Ju, Qiu Lan, oh, she still lacks Qi Bo!”

Qiu Ju smiled and said, "Whether the name is tacky or not, Qiu Ju doesn't dare to say, but I am very happy to be a servant in our house. The master, sons and ladies are all kind, and my wife was even more kind when she was alive..."

Seeing Tang Jiusheng's expression change, Qiu Ju knew that she had made a mistake. She quickly lowered her head and whispered: "Second Young Master, I'm sorry, it's Qiu Ju who talks too much!"

Tang Jiusheng shook his head, stood up from the chair, walked to the bookshelf, and said softly: "Qiu Ju, our family also has a big house in Yong'an City. The Imperial Palace in the capital is much larger and more magnificent than the one in Tianchang.

"Although I lived there for two years when I was a child, I love this house in Tianchang more. Do you know why?" The little maid Qiu Ju shook her head and felt relieved when she saw that the master didn't mean to blame her.

Come.

Tang Jiusheng said with a smile: "Yong'an City is the imperial capital. Under the emperor's feet, it is naturally much more prosperous than Tianchang City. However, the smoke and water vapor in Tianchang cannot be compared to Yong'an. Tianchang's air is pure and elegant, and the aroma of books is full. Go out and have a bowl of tea.

After drinking a glass of wine, the younger brother can recite a few lines of poetry. When he goes to a brothel to drink flower wine, the courtesan can also sing with his husband. This is one of the reasons why I like it, but the more important reason is that I

I had a happy childhood here!”

Tang Jiusheng picked up an old "The Analects of Confucius" from the bookshelf, flipped through it, put it back on the bookshelf, put his hands behind his back, and said: "Mom is gone, the eldest and second sisters have married away, and the eldest brother is not up to expectations. I

When I was traveling, my father was the only one at home in Tianchang. Although there were many people in the house, and although he had many things to deal with every day, I believe that in the dead of night, he must miss his mother, his children, and his children very much.

Very lonely." Qiu Ju stood aside, silent.

Tang Jiusheng was silent for a long time, and then said with a smile: "Let's not talk about this, Qiu Ju, let's go and eat, I'm hungry." Qiu Ju agreed, and the master and servant left the study one after another, walking on the paved stone pavement.

On the road, pass through the Moon Gate and come to the Yingbin Pavilion in another courtyard. The Protector's Mansion in Tianchang City has nine courtyards, large and small. The courtyard where Tang Jiusheng lived when he was young is called Qilin Garden, which was named by his father himself.

, meaning that my Tang family has another Qilin son.

The Yingbin Pavilion is the place where the Imperial Master's Mansion entertains distinguished guests. Today, the Shui family escaped danger and came to the Tang family for a family reunion. Such a happy event must be celebrated. Everyone in the Tang family, from the head of the family to the servants, was overjoyed. The maids and servants

We had already wiped the tables and chairs in the Yingbin Pavilion, prepared the tea and wine vessels, and soon began to pass the dishes around.

The dinner was extremely sumptuous. The wine was Liuyeqing, a famous wine. The aroma of the wine overflowed when we opened the jar. It was really an amber cup of fine wine. As for the dishes, they were indescribably delicious, including the fresh seabass from the Pearl River and the fresh shrimps from Yuetan Lake.

, snails, roe deer and wild deer from Qifeng Mountain, abalone and oysters from the East China Sea, sea cucumbers and stingrays from the South China Sea, as well as fat cows, suckling pigs, various seasonal side dishes from Tianchang, and so much more, which is dazzling.

During the banquet, there was laughter and cheers. Tang Fulong stood up to welcome the Shui family on behalf of the Tang family. Shui Yundong stood up to express his gratitude on behalf of the Shui family. The rest of the people also stood up to toast. During the banquet, Shui Rulong, Tang Jiusheng, Fatty, and Yulong

Xingkong and others competed with each other in boxing, sword and knife skills, and when they reached their peak, they clapped and laughed, feeling very happy. The banquet lasted until late at night, and both the guests and host returned home drunk, and parted ways happily.

In order to prevent Yin Chun from retaliating, the Shui family will not return to Liuquan County in Lingnan for the time being. At most, a few people will be left to clean up.

It's good that the courtyard is not dilapidated. The Shui family have temporarily settled in Yueyun Garden of the Tang family, planning to buy another house after Yin Chun has paid off the money.

Tang Fulong was very happy when his son returned home. The two of them chatted in the study until late at night. During this period, Tang Jiusheng asked his father whether he would go north to collect Shui Ruyue, Ximen Yushuang, Tiedun and others when they came back, or go to the fief first?

Tang Fulong laughed loudly, "Son, don't make a choice in this kind of thing, just do the first thing, and do the rest slowly. If there is a shortage of people in your land, dad can provide you with a few people to help!

"

The two of them chatted until almost dawn before going to bed. Before going to bed, Tang Jiusheng went to pay homage to his mother's coffin.

After breakfast the next day, Tang Jiu Sheng took Fatty, Shui Rulong, and Yu Long Xingkong to his martial arts arena. They had a spar. Tang Jiu Sheng's second-level seventh-level strength could compete with a fifth-level master.

Of course, they were not as good as Fatty and the others, but Tang Jiusheng was extremely excited and fought with Fatty. Fatty didn't hold back and gave Tang Jiusheng a good beating.

Shui Rulong who was watching was dumbfounded. He didn't know how much hatred the two brothers had. Moreover, it was long rumored in the world that his brother-in-law was a powerful master of the Minglong Sword. Why was he only at the seventh level of martial arts? After being beaten up by the fat man, Tang Jiusheng went back to practice Tianxuan.

Jue, it was still the same the next day. After three consecutive days of beatings, Tang Jiu Sheng's martial arts level rose from the seventh level to the sixth level, and he had the strength to compete with a fourth level martial artist.

Shui Rulong didn't expect that in just a few days, his brother-in-law's martial arts level would have jumped from the seventh level to the sixth level. Shui Rulong's face was filled with disbelief. Tang Jiusheng smiled and told his uncle that his name was Tianxuan.

Shui Rulong suddenly realized that it was only after being beaten that he could advance quickly. After that, every morning after that, Shui Rulong and Fatty would brutally torture Tang Jiu Sheng on the martial arts field, and Tang Jiu Sheng enjoyed it as well.

In the blink of an eye, he had been staying at home for seven or eight days. Shui Rulong's injuries had recovered, and Tang Jiusheng's martial arts level had stabilized at the second rank and fifth level. If Fatty and Shui Rulong beat him again, his improvement in martial arts level would be limited. Tang Jiusheng decided to set off northward.

, went to Yong'an to pick up Shui Ruyue, Tiedun and others, and also solved the problem of Shen Xiaoyu in Luoyu Pavilion.

Before leaving, Tang Jiu Sheng called the fat man and entrusted him to go to his fiefdom in Anshu County, Jiannan Road to settle the affairs of the palace. Tang Jiu Sheng drafted a royal edict, stamped it with the seal of King Wei, and handed it over to the fat man. The previous emperor

Yin Guang had already given Tang Jiusheng the original Anshu County Prince's Mansion in Anshu County.

At the time, the Prince of Anshu County overstepped his bounds when building the Prince's Palace and built the Prince's Palace into the size of the Prince's Palace. Later, a royal censor took a copy of this Prince's book and, in compliance with the vassal regulations, the Prince of Anshu

As a result, the king was deprived of his title and driven out of the Anshu County Prince's Mansion. The huge Prince's Mansion was abandoned.

It just so happened that this county prince's palace, which was built according to the standards of the prince's palace, could be used by Tang Jiu Sheng. He just needed to take over it and renovate it. It would save money and effort, and it would save the people and money of building a new palace. Fatty Le Dian Dian agreed.

He liked the feeling of getting rich and making money the most, and the fat man couldn't resist it. When Tang Fulong heard about it, he sent a steward named Tang Zhong from the Imperial Prefecture to assist the fat man.

After Shui Yundong heard about this, he called Shui Rulong and gave him some instructions. He also sent Shui Rulong to assist Fatty, saying that he wanted to give his son some experience. So Fatty and Shui Rulong, Tang Zhong took

A dozen or so family members from the Imperial Prefecture were on the road and rushed to Anshu County, Jiannan Road, to renovate the residence of the new King Wei.

Tang Jiusheng also said goodbye to his father and father-in-law, put on a new face, brought some scattered silver and several hundred taels of silver notes, and rode out of the Imperial Master's Mansion alone, heading north. He was going to pick him up.
