Chapter 140 The warm soup pool outside Shenjing City!
Chapter 140 The hot spring pool outside Shenjing City!
In fact, there are many civil servants who come from aristocratic families who hope from the bottom of their hearts that the court will never fight wars. Even if they must fight, they can only fight some controllable defeats!
They have become accustomed to it, or in other words, they miss those days of being arrogant in front of military commanders. They even think that only the world of that period can be called a prosperous age!
Only in this way can the status of generals be suppressed. After all, the feudal lords fighting for hegemony in the late Han Dynasty and the disasters in the vassal towns in the late Tang Dynasty were all the result of those vulgar warriors becoming powerful. This must be strictly guarded against!
As for the later Song and Ming Dynasties, it was a fate. The generals were too afraid of death, and the mud-legged people were too ignorant. How can they be different from me and other upright scholars?
Why is the water too cold and the scalp is itchy? Those are all made of defeated wild boar skin!
It's because the scholars from our aristocratic family gave the Boar Skins several serious blows, making them hate them to the bone.
The Taizu of this dynasty was able to counterattack and finally seize this picturesque country. We have made great contributions to the country, and we should continue to be ranked above those vulgar warriors!
…
For the Imperial City Division, it was extremely disappointing that only a few days after the end of the year, the Black Lotus Society and Japanese pirates had infiltrated the Shenjing City into a suspected serious breach of duty.
Especially what Jia Sidao said last night, "Did your Black Lotus Society escape into Fusang?" made Liu Jin's scalp numb. No wonder the Imperial City Division has sent a large number of manpower since the Black Lotus Society missed its traces in the past few years.
They searched, but found very little.
It turns out that the headquarters of the Black Lotus Society is far away overseas? Many things seem to make sense.
Liu Jintian was waiting outside the Yangxin Hall before dawn. As expected, after being called in, he was scolded by Emperor Baode as soon as he finished reporting. The Imperial City Division was known as Daqing's Jin Yiwei, but in the end, he had not even had a black lotus in so many years.
No clues were found during the meeting. How could this satisfy Emperor Baode?
"Your Majesty, when the Japanese pirates were killed there last night, someone heard the Grandmaster of Rongguo Mansion talking to the Japanese pirates, saying that since the Black Lotus Society had colluded with the Japanese pirates, its headquarters was probably located in Fusang. In this way,
Those traitors are afraid that they are involved with those aristocratic families in Jiangnan..."
"Investigate strictly and don't try to alert others!"
"As you command!"
Liu Jin quickly responded, and then carefully glanced at Emperor Baode with the corner of his eye before continuing to report.
"What happened last night was because of the martial monk inheritance offered by General Wuwei of Rongguo Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River. General Jia's East China Sea Chamber of Commerce claimed that it contained some innate secrets of spiritual practice.
Let’s gather in Shenjing City during the New Year’s Day.”
"I know... Jia Lian has copied a copy of the secrets of monk practice and given it to the Supreme Emperor. It has been included in the inner library. You can go and have a look."
Liu Jin was overjoyed and quickly thanked the Holy Father.
Being able to take charge of key departments such as the Imperial City Department, Liu Jin was certainly a minister deeply trusted by the two emperors. Two years ago, he advanced to the Xiantian Grand Master by virtue of the Tiangang Boy Kung Fu that he had practiced diligently for more than fifty years. He was unparalleled in the limelight among the eunuchs.
two.
The Xiantian Grandmaster, who is over fifty years old, has an extremely extraordinary status in the imperial palace. Although this guy's name is indeed a bit unpleasant, he has worked hard for many years and can be said to be loyal to the Yang royal family. He was also loyal in the early years.
After many tests, he was able to take charge of the Imperial City Division.
In fact, Liu Jin did suffer a lot in the palace because of his name in his early years, but there was nothing he could do about it. Firstly, this name was given by his parents, and it was one of the last concerns for a person like him who had no future.
By the time he understood what was going on, the name "Liu Jin" had already spread to the ears of interested people in the palace, and it was too late to change it.
Therefore, his rise has somehow secretly started a trend of changing names among the eunuchs in the palace. Many eunuchs have begun to believe that the great eunuchs who have left their names in history represent a group of people.
With a mysterious aura, if there is a eunuch with a strong enough destiny to carry that name, he may one day be able to rise as miraculously as Eunuch Liu!
Many pretentious eunuchs were gearing up to think about changing their names. Suddenly, the business at the fortune-telling stalls in Shenjing City doubled.
The fortune tellers, Feng Shui masters and some poor scholars are even more confused. Why do so many people come to ask about the reputations and deeds of the ancient eunuchs who have been named in history, either obliquely or blatantly? Some people even directly put someone's birth date.
The horoscope and the name of an ancient eunuch were used by fortune tellers and feng shui masters to determine whether they were compatible.
Zhang Rang, Tong Guan, Li Fuguo, Wei Zhongxian, Lao Ai, and some even calculated whether they were numerologically compatible with Shu Diao, the first eunuch in history!
Of course, compared to those eunuchs with bad records in history, the names of eunuchs with good reputations are more popular. Cai Lun, Zheng He, Gao Lishi, Wang Chengen...

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, which is the day of the human being, it is a good time for people to win and eat Qibao soup. It is a good time to travel and climb high!
It was rare to have someone to play with. Jia Cuizhu was extremely excited. She kept circling and rising and falling above the convoy of Rong Guofu. The second frame in front of her was a specially made landing frame for it. It had many toys.
I have them all with me.
It happened to be a warm and sunny day in winter, and Jia Lian took his two daughters-in-law together with Sichun, Daiyu and Lin Yong, Jia Cong's two little carrot heads, and the big-faced Bao and Jia Cong who were shamelessly clamoring to follow.
Shi Xiangyun, who was picked up by the Hou Mansion, went out for an outing together on the pretext of celebrating the festival.
Originally, Jia Lian wanted to bring his two aunts with him, but they were declined. When they heard that Jia Lian and his entourage planned to spend the night in Zhuangzi outside the city, they waved their hands, but still pushed the three-year-old Jia Cong over.
Formed a team with Lin Yong.
As for Jia Huan, first of all, this little guy is the concubine of the second wife. Secondly, he is less than three years old and does not often show up in Rongqing Hall. No one in the group except Tanchun has thought of him. Finally, Wang
This is Jia Huan's aunt, who punished Aunt Zhao again early this morning.
Jia Lian was too lazy to argue with the Wang family for Jia Huan...
Jin Ling'er still transformed into a golden little cat form. From time to time, she would jump into the arms of Qin Keqing and Wang Xifeng and meow a few times to beg for food. After eating enough, she would get into another big carriage with Sanchun, Daiyu, Xiangyun and other little cats.
Act cute around girls.
Speaking of which, there is a strange thing happening recently about the little cat Jin Ling'er. The little cat, who has always been aloof to other people and is extremely attracted by the eager eyes of the maids and ladies of the Rongguo Mansion, has miraculously fallen in love with her recently.
Grandma Zhu Li Wan!
In the days before and after the Spring Festival, many maids saw this golden little kitten nestling in Li Wan's plump arms, meowing and acting coquettishly. This was completely different from the treatment Li Wan received when he first entered the house, especially
Suyun and the others around Li Wan knew even more clearly that Li Wan, who first married into the Rongguo Mansion, was once treated coldly and coldly by Jin Ling'er.
Although many maids who could not resist cute things did not dare to directly inquire about the widowed Li Wan, they began to ask Suyun and the others non-stop...
Of course, Li Wan did not go out with Jia Lian and his entourage today. After all, Jia Lan was still young, not to mention that the two aunts did not come out, so it would be even harder for her, Jia Lian's widowed sister-in-law, to go out.
The large carriage was padded with thick bedding. Yuan Chun, Jia Lian, Qin Keqing, Wang Xifeng, Lin Yong and Jia Cong were riding in the same carriage, plus four or five serving maids and women, making the carriage full to the brim.
In a carriage at the back, Sanchun, Daiyu, and Xiangyun were sitting together, laughing and joking. You glanced at me quietly, and I pushed you away quietly. As long as Shi Xiangyun was around, the little sisters never stopped.
This Miss Shi is a notorious talker. All the sisters in the Jia family know that even when she is sleeping, she sometimes keeps mumbling. Even though her situation is the worst among the sisters, Xiangyun
But she is also the most optimistic of them all. She carries an innate heroic spirit about her. She seems to be laughing and joking all day long, but in fact she is extremely open-minded.
Although Sanchun, Daiyu, Xiangyun and other high-ranking ladies were not locked in the boudoir, unable to step forward or leave the second door. However, when they reached the age of Yuanchun, they began to have restrictions a few years ago.
So when he went out with Jia Lian this time, Yuan Chun, the oldest among the sisters, was also very excited. He hugged Qin Keqing's arm and kept whispering. His delicate eyes swept over Jia Lian's flawless face from time to time.
He glared at him and warned him not to eavesdrop.
Thirty miles outside the southwest gate of Shenjing City, there is a small imperial mansion owned by Princess Yongji, which covers an area of just over two hectares. It is considered to be a relatively inferior imperial estate around Shenjing City.
It's just that Princess Yongji was granted the title late after all, and the good villages around Shenjing City had long been divided into pieces. The Zongren Mansion and the Ministry of Internal Affairs finally pieced together two larger palaces for the princess.
With this addition, the village just managed to get enough treatment at the princess level to give Qin Keqing.
Jia Lian and Qin Keqing didn't care much at first, since they were here for nothing. But a few days ago, Jia Lian casually said that he wanted to find a hot spring pool to build a Huaqing Pool...
Isn't it a coincidence? There happens to be a hot spring in this small imperial village. In previous years, because of its relatively remote location and the small area of the imperial village, the royal family never chose to build a garden here.
Now it's just easier for Jia Lian. Anyway, he has already seen various "miniature" buildings in his previous life, even hot spring pools that can only accommodate two or three people.
What's more, smallness has its advantages, and the hot spring pool in Xiaohuangzhuang is far from small. It can accommodate about twenty people at the same time.
As for issues of safety and taboo avoidance, please ask Pei Sanniang, Pei Siniang and the five female disciples they trained in recent years to be responsible for the inner defense.
The personal guards are scattered around the perimeter, and the sensitive Jin Ling'er and Ahu, Lu Xiaobai and Jia Cuizhu are also around, plus a large number of maids and women waiting on them, so safety is absolutely safe.
The group set out in the afternoon and traveled thirty miles. When they arrived, the western half of the sky was filled with burning clouds.
There were stewards and servants waiting at the door. A group of ladies, big and small, got off the carriage. As far as the eye could see, there were all kinds of camphor, cedar and other evergreen trees, as well as various flowers that were blooming even in winter.
.
Looking deep into the Imperial Manor, you can see the patchwork sea of flowers and trees of various colors complementing each other with the gorgeous sunset in the western sky. Such a scene cannot be seen in the boudoir courtyard.
The villagers on Zhuangzi have long been arranged outside the village. Now there are only a few housekeepers and rough maids who have been arranged in advance in the village. Therefore, Daiyu, Xiangyun, Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun are all following them.
When the little maids saw such beautiful scenery and exquisite portraits, they all let go and shouted with joy.
Under the leadership of Wang Xifeng, the sisters of the Jia family entered the village and began to choose their own rooms. Behind them were many wet nurses and aunties who went to make beds and quilts. After Jia Lian and Qin Keqing looked at each other and smiled, they walked hand in hand in the woods in the village.
Chat.
…
Until it gradually darkened, Jia Lian used a wooden stick to push away the embers in front of a bonfire, and then pulled out a mud ball.
After letting the mud ball roll on the ground for a few times, the [moonlight] around Jia Lian's waist shone slightly, and the mud layer instantly split and spread, and a rich mixed fragrance of fresh lotus leaves and sweet chicken spread out.
The Jia sisters, who had been crazy and naughty for a long time in the palace, happened to come closer and swallowed their saliva almost at the same time. Then they looked at each other, blushed for a while, and laughed loudly together.
stand up.
At this time, sitting by the bonfire, the eldest sister Yuan Chun, who had always been relatively stable, looked at the stars gradually appearing in the sky and said:
"I never knew it looked like this outside. It's so nice..."
Jia Lian, who was sitting opposite her and picking up the beggar's chickens, heard this and replied:
"My sister turns out to like a place like this. What's the problem? Second brother, I will search for you outside the city of Shenjing. I will definitely find you a close match, which can be considered as a dowry for you!"
Yuanchun's face was filled with red clouds immediately. Although his big watery eyes were full of shyness, he also enjoyed Jia Lian's pampering and felt warm in his heart.
Jia Lian tore off a fragrant chicken leg and handed it to Lin Yong, and gave the other to Jia Cong. He handed the lotus leaf wrapped with the remaining chicken to Sichun and Daiyu, Xiangyun, and said:
"Eat a little bit for each person to have a taste! There is fish soup and a few farm side dishes. If you don't want to eat these barbecued fish, you can go there to enjoy it.
…
The girls had relatively small appetites, and they were all full after a while. They started to sit around the campfire, laughing and chatting in a novel way. When they heard Jia Lian describe the warm soup here, they suddenly went crazy and asked the grandma and maids to go crazy.
He lit up the lantern and said he wanted to give it a try.
Jia Lian had nothing to do. The venue had already been arranged anyway, not to mention that he himself also wanted to take a dip in the warm soup pool.
The only pity was that Jia Lian could only soak in another small pool with spring water from the hot spring pool with Jia Cong and Lin Yong.
Not far away, Jia Lian was able to hear the sounds of his sisters and wives laughing and playing in the distance due to his own overly powerful [divine] attribute, especially the crisp and crisp voice of Wang Xifeng, who was good at sociability and had already gotten along well with her sisters.
, the recognition is particularly clear.
Since his sisters were also there, Jia Lian decided to let the [Blue Dragon Jade] sneak over and take a closer look.
After soaking in the small pool for a while, Jia Lian was afraid that he might not be able to hold back, and after soaking for a while, he asked the person responsible for taking care of him to keep an eye on him.
The two younger ones got up and went out.
I caught up today, I will try to see if it can break out next month.
