() Under the leadership of Dongchang Fanzi, Zhong Jinwei finally arrived at his home on Dingfu Street. The street at the entrance was about 25 meters wide, and there was a huge and majestic stone lion at each end of the gate.
Zhong Jinwei knew that his home was a mansion when he looked at the door, and he was very happy.
There was already a group of people at the door. When they saw Zhong Jinwei approaching, they all knelt down to greet him.
When Zhong Jinwei saw this, he quickly urged his horse forward and saw that they were the people he had taken in.
The leader was the eldest Yu Haining. Seeing Zhong Jinwei approaching, he said: "Welcome to the master of the family!"
Zhong Jinwei did not dare to let the old man kneel on him, so he quickly got off his horse and helped Yu Haining and others up.
While Yu Haining let Zhong Jinwei into the house, he asked his son to lead the official of Dongchang, and took the horse to the stable through the back door.
At this moment, Gu Baichuan arrived and congratulated Zhong Jinwei from a distance. He was a smart man, and although Zhong Jinwei had to keep a low profile, being there to congratulate him would always make Zhong Jinwei happy.
When Zhong Jinwei saw his old acquaintance Gu Baichuan coming to congratulate him with an injury, he hurried over to greet him. He didn't care about the difference in status and chatted and slapped him. When the waiters saw the stall coming, they also came over to greet him.
There was a lot of excitement at the door for a while, and then I went back into the house.
Zhong Jinwei walked in first, and Yu Haining then introduced the layout of the house. Behind him were Gu Baichuan and the servant carrying the box and plaque, and behind them were several maids and Yu Haining's daughter-in-law and grandson.
When you enter the door, you will see a carved screen wall made of polished bricks, and on the right is the concierge. This is where Yu Haining lives now, and he himself is willing to be the concierge.
After entering the door on the left, you will see the opposite side of the house, which is now empty. Then you go through the hanging flower door on the central axis of the house. After passing the hanging flower door, there is a large courtyard with three east and west wing rooms on the left and right.
A maid and Yu Changjian's family lived here.
There are seven main rooms, several wing rooms, and several rooms behind the main house, including the stables.
Zhong Jinwei was too embarrassed to visit in detail at this time, so he just listened to Yu Haining's brief introduction.
After arriving at the main hall, the steward put down the box and placed the plaque on the table.
The maid who followed hurriedly served tea and water to entertain the guests. Zhong Jinwei secretly sighed at this big house that belonged to him without having to pay a mortgage, and then chatted with Gu Baichuan, while Fan Yi and Yu Haining kept him company.
After chatting for a while, there seemed to be someone knocking at the door. Zhong Jinwei was a little surprised when he heard that he was so low-key, who would come to visit him. So, he called Yu Haining, who was about to go to the door to check on the situation, and went out to take a look.
When I arrived at the door, I saw Sun Chengzong, Lu Xiangsheng and Yan Yingyuan, with a group of followers.
It turned out that Yan Yingyuan knew that his brother-in-law was moving to a new house today, so he told Lu Xiangsheng that he would come over to help.
Lu Xiangsheng knew that Zhong Jinwei had recommended him, so he was grateful. When he heard that Zhong Jinwei was moving into a new house, he also came over to congratulate him.
When Lu Xiangsheng asked for leave from Sun Chengzong, he let Sun Chengzong know about it. With the friendship between Sun Chengzong and Zhong Jinwei, it was natural that he also came.
Someone came to celebrate, so Zhong Jinwei was naturally happy and quickly let him in.
But because I didn’t expect anyone to come to congratulate me in advance, and I didn’t have any family members, so many people came at once and I couldn’t take care of them.
The six servants who came with Zhong Jinwei, because Zhong Jinwei's family did not have enough servants, became half masters, and had to help entertain the entourage brought by Sun Chengzong and Lu Xiangsheng. There were so many people around Zhong Jinwei, and he was at home, so naturally
No need for guards. If you say Sun Chengzong and Lu Xiangsheng are assassins, you won't believe them if they kill them all.
Sun Chengzong was the oldest and didn't care about food and drink at all, so he just said to come and sit down. There was a lot going on at the camp and he had to rush back soon.
Everyone came to the main hall. Sun Chengzong was the oldest and had the highest official position, so he naturally sat in the upper seat. Zhong Jinwei was accompanying him on the other side.
Lu Xiangsheng sat in the first place on the right, and Yan Yingyuan sat in the first place on the left. Because Gu Baichuan was injured and had experienced life and death with Zhong Jinwei, Yan Yingyuan sat next to Yan Yingyuan.
Sun Chengzong already knew about Zhong Jinwei's distress, but he didn't know the details yet, so he asked about the specific process.
Zhong Jinwei narrated yesterday's thrilling experience, focusing on Gu Baichuan's cleverness and Yan Yingyuan's ability.
Gu Baichuan was injured because of himself, so it was right for him to praise him a few words in front of the important officials of the court. Gu Baichuan would be grateful to him after hearing this. Zhong Jinwei would not spare this small amount of words.
As for Yan Yingyuan, his brother-in-law, I need to focus on describing him. Not only did he kill the most horse thieves, but also speaking more about Yan Yingyuan's abilities in front of his two future superiors, his brother-in-law, would be beneficial to his future career.
Sun Chengzong and Lu Xiangsheng were not fools, so they naturally understood what Zhong Jinwei meant.
Lu Xiangsheng waited for Zhong Jinwei to finish speaking, then he laughed and began to praise Yan Yingyuan: "Not to mention the supervisor, the humble officer also knows Li Heng's abilities. After he came to my camp yesterday, the humble officer took an assessment, and there is no need to talk about his martial arts.
Well, Beizhi was overjoyed with his foresight, carefulness and thoughtfulness, and his skills in arranging troops. And it just so happened that Beizhi liked melee combat, while Li Heng was good at long-range combat. It was a suitable chapter. If the supervisor could recommend Li Heng to come over, Beizhi was overjoyed!
"
After hearing what Lu Xiangsheng said, everyone burst into laughter, which actually made Yan Yingyuan feel a little embarrassed.
Lu Xiangsheng waited for everyone to laugh, and then said again: "It's just that Beizhi doesn't understand why Liheng, a person like Liheng, was recommended to Beizhi by the supervisor. The army led by Beizhi just temporarily gathered King Qin, and it's up to King Qin.
He has to return to Daming Mansion for his humble job. Where will Li Heng go then?"
When Lu Xiangsheng said this, he also looked at Sun Chengzong, meaning Zhong Jinwei, why don't you recommend your brother-in-law to Sun Chengzong, who has a higher status?
Sun Chengzong naturally understood the meaning of Lu Xiangsheng's words. He also felt strange, so he stroked his long beard under his forehead and looked at Zhong Jinwei with a smile to see how he would answer.
It’s really hard to answer this. When Zhong Jinwei first mentioned the recommendation, his first reaction was Lu Xiangsheng. The reason may also be because of Lu Xiangsheng’s subsequent performance in history. He loved the people, protected the soldiers, and would not be jealous and exclude others. Sun Chengzong never had any cronies of his own.
Team, if Yan Yingyuan is sent to Guan Ning's army, he still doesn't know how he will be squeezed out by the Liaodong Group.
Zhong Jinwei thought for a while, but still couldn't think of a suitable reason to explain, so he had to pretend to be mysterious and said: "This, the secret must not be leaked."
Lu Xiangsheng was speechless, but Zhong Jinwei was a superior, so it was difficult to ask further questions.
But Sun Chengzong thought: Is the emperor going to re-appoint Lu Xiangsheng? Sun Chengzong thought carefully, and based on the relationship between Zhong Jinwei and the emperor, it is very likely that he really knew the news in advance. The more Sun Chengzong thought about it, the more he felt that this was very possible, and he couldn't help but look deeply.
Lu Xiangsheng glanced at it.
Zhong Jinwei remembered something and said to Sun Chengzong: "I was able to escape this time, thanks to Hu Hao's night-time team of Guan Ning's army. How should I express it according to the law?"
Sun Chengzong chuckled and said: "Rescuing the earl and killing the horse thief are enough to advance to the next level, and the silver reward is naturally indispensable. You are still the supervisor of King Qin's army. I can explain the silver reward personally when I go back."
That's okay. Give them some benefits for the time being, and then promote them when opportunities arise later. After all, it's a life-saving grace, Zhong Jinwei thought.
At this time, Sun Chengzong noticed the plaque on the table, and after asking, he found out that it was the "Zhongxing Earl's Mansion" given by the emperor. Everyone in the hall had a deeper understanding of Zhong Jinwei's favor.
After drinking a cup of tea and chatting about things in the camp, Sun Chengzong stood up and left, and Lu Xiangsheng also left and returned to the camp.
Yan Yingyuan stayed temporarily and visited his future sister's mansion. Then he said goodbye to his brother-in-law and rushed back to Tongzhou. He would report to Lu Xiangsheng after the injury was healed in a year.
Zhong Jinwei saw that his brother-in-law's arm was injured and he was afraid that he would not be able to work well. He had an idea and asked two maids to follow Yan Yingyuan to Tongzhou to take care of Archi.
Yan Yingyuan was very pleased to see Zhong Jinwei thinking about Archie so much, so he did not refuse.
Yan Yingyuan came to the capital this time. Not only did he save his brother-in-law, but he was also received by Emperor Chongzhen. He was rewarded with the birth certificate of Wu Jinshi, so he no longer had to take the exam. He was also appreciated by Lu Xiangsheng and was given the position of deputy in the army, which was a great success.
What was gained, even though it was injured, was still worth it.
After sending Yan Yingyuan away, everyone returned to the main hall. Gu Baichuan suddenly winked and asked the Dongchang officers to surround Yu Changjian.
