Wu Huaiyu sent Qin Qiong all the way back to the house, but did not enter the house. He said goodbye at the door and turned to leave.
One hundred elite Imperial Guard cavalry were waiting on the street, and another forty tiger warriors stood with tiger-skin scabbards and painted wooden swords.
Jinwu guards, tiger warriors and swords.
"Military Prime Minister!"
"Go home."
Among the hundreds of elite knights, a group of knights immediately took the lead to clear the way, and the street shop Wuhou also immediately shouted at the top of his voice to clear the way.
"When the military prime minister goes out, idle people stay away!"
All the way back to Xuanyangfang, under the protection of the imperial army, no pedestrians fought for the road on the wide road, and everyone retreated to both sides to give way.
Countless eyes on the roadside were looking at Duke Wu Ling.
It was still early in the day, the street drums on the Sixth Street Bell and Drum Tower were still beating loudly, the gates of Chang'an City were opened one after another, and the scholars, citizens, and merchants also began their busy day.
The Wu Family of Xuanyang Prefecture.
Fan Xuanfu and others also got up early, dressed up and were waiting, and specially sent someone to wait outside the imperial city. As soon as Huaiyu left the palace, the servants hurriedly rode home to report the news.
The Duke's Mansion of Jin State.
The door plaque has been replaced with a new one, the Wutou gate has been raised, the corridor inside the gate has been expanded, and the number of halberds inside the gate has also been increased.
It has been increased to fourteen halberds. This is the actual title of the Duke, and the second-grade minister of the Shangzhu State. At least the treatment that can only be obtained after serving as the Grand Governor. Otherwise, even if the Duke is added to the second-grade position, there will only be twelve halberds at most.
.
"Alang, our Wu family's family status is high again,"
The hunchback Wu Cheng came forward excitedly. Although he was hunchbacked, he was the first slave Wu Huaiyu had taken. In the past few years, he had been guarding the door of the Wu family, from Sanyuan cave dwellings, to Huaiyuanfang courtyard, to Yongxing'an mansion, and now
This high gate,
Wu Cheng felt that he was very successful in his life. As Alang became a higher and higher official, so did his sect become higher and higher.
The bigger the house, the more doors there will naturally be. Wu Cheng is now in charge of all the doors of the Wu family. He is responsible for many servants and is known as the concierge. He even wears a decent gown.
Every day he went to the gate in person, and the people he met were officials from the capital, foreign officials, and scholars. Regardless of whether he was a prince or a prince, no one was allowed to be polite to him.
Huaiyu looked at the somewhat unfamiliar gate of the mansion, and then looked at Wu Cheng, who was also somewhat unfamiliar. The changes in the family were indeed quite big.
Although I came back last summer and lived there for a long time, it has only been less than a year and my family has changed so much. I don’t know how many times the house and courtyard have been changed.
Once you are promoted to a higher official, you need to renovate it once, make it taller and deeper. Other families may be able to do it once or twice in their lifetime, but the Wu family may have to do it several times a year.
Deep inside the courtyard, under the expanded porch, in addition to the fourteen halberds standing there, demonstrating the status of the Wu family, there are actually fourteen halberd-wielding guards.
They even wear armor.
After asking, I found out that this was also arranged by the emperor. Wuhou, who was transferred from Wuhou Guards, also known as Jinwu Guards, took turns holding halberds and standing guard here day and night.
"Alang,"
Fan Xuanfu came out with his concubines and concubines. When he saw Wu Huaiyu's face looked tired and smelled of alcohol, he couldn't help but feel distressed. "You haven't slept all night. How much have you drunk? Go back home quickly and wash up and sleep."
"
After not seeing each other for more than half a year, the children have grown up a lot, and the eldest son, Chengsi, has grown a lot taller. Standing there holding his mother's hand, he seemed to feel that Huaiyu was a bit strange.
"Dalang, don't you recognize Aye?"
Huaiyu took out a Dongzhu, which was round and huge, crystal clear, and pale gold in color. This was a precious pearl from the Songhua River in Mohe. The Mohe people used Haidongqing to catch swans to collect the pearls.
As expected, the child fell in love with the bead as soon as he saw it and became very happy.
"Call Aye,"
"Aye,"
"Take it, boy."
The other older children couldn't help but come forward when they saw their eldest brother got a light golden pearl.
"Just call it Aye,"
So a group of children started shouting impatiently. They were a little unfamiliar just now, but now they are familiar with it.
When one person gets an East Pearl, there will be no life left.
"These are Dongzhu from Mohe, Liaodong. With this size and color, these are the finest Dongzhu. Children don't know how precious they are. It would be a pity to lose them while playing."
The East Pearl was a top luxury product in Chang'an City, and was considered a treasure along with the South Pearl produced in Hepu, Lingnan Province. Once a top-quality East Pearl appeared in Chang'an, attracting many powerful people to compete for it, and was finally sold to the Prince of Hejian County, Li Xiaogong.
Bought for a million dollars.
A pearl is worth two thousand gold,
Although the beads Huaiyu gave to his sons are definitely not as good as Li Xiaogong's, the light golden color is also the best among the East beads. The size and texture are also very good. One pearl is worth a hundred thousand yuan, and it can be replaced with
A BMW.
"One is only worth a hundred dollars. It's just a little gift from Aye to his children. They won't lose it casually."
Fan Xuanfu, Qiu family, Yun family and others all came from well-known families, and each had a lot of dowry. They didn't care about Bai Laiguan, but were happy that Alang was so generous to the children, which showed that they were interested in him, especially the rare treat of all people, regardless of gender, legitimate concubines.
, one per person.
The hunchback Wu Cheng stood nearby and didn't even feel the slightest bit moved when he heard that Bai Guan's beads were being used as gifts and toys for young men and young women.
When he first came to Beijing, he often stole meat and bones from Huaiyu's two dogs and ate them. Now that his horizons have improved, he can't even feel anything.
"Come home quickly,"
After entering the house, this baby was hugged, that baby was lifted up, kissed and pinched, and it felt hard to understand.
"I have prepared gifts for you, but they are still on the way."
Huaiyu's main luggage was to go south with the Yang family, while they took a boat along the canal south and then west to Chang'an with their baby under the age of 18. They stopped and stopped on the way for an hour and a half before they could reach there.
"Who cares about that," Fan Xuanfu said.
Runniang felt sorry for Huaiyu who stayed up all night and drank for so long, "Alang wants to eat something, I'll go get it."
"Just millet porridge and steamed cakes,"
"I'll go to the kitchen and get it right away."
Sanniang had been standing nearby without coming forward. Huaiyu discovered that she was already pregnant and would give birth in a month or two.
Huaiyu took her hand and felt her pulse directly.
"Well, the pulse is very stable. The little guy actually knew that Aye was coming and was kicking in his stomach."
Li Qing gained some weight, stroking his big belly with a smile, "Girl or boy?"
"Didn't Sanniang see a doctor?"
"without,"
"It's a girl."
Li Sanniang didn't care whether it was a son or a daughter. She was very happy to hear that it was a daughter.
The front hall is very lively,
Even the entire Jin government was moved into action because of Wu Huaiyu's return.
I greeted and chatted with my wives and concubines, and from time to time the steward came over to say hello.
Amidst the commotion, Huaiyu finished eating the millet porridge and steamed buns that Chen Runniang brought from the kitchen, and Fan Xuanfu immediately showed off his ladylike demeanor and drove everyone back.
"Let Alang take a bath and then have a good sleep. Please say hello if you are okay for a while."
Everyone was reluctant to leave, especially the concubines, who hadn't seen anyone for more than half a year. It was so hard to come back, and everyone didn't even get a chance to chat.
After taking a nice hot bath to relax and soothe my whole body, I went back to my room and lay down on the newly made warm and comfortable couch, and fell asleep immediately.
When I woke up, it was already evening.
Many people came to see Wu Huaiyu during the day, but they were all blocked by Fan Xuanfu. She personally guarded the entrance to Huaiyu's courtyard during the day, not allowing anyone to enter and disturb her.
She really felt sorry for her husband. When she came back this time, she felt obviously haggard.
During the New Year period, my husband led his army to attack in the ice and snow outside the Great Wall all day long. Although he made great achievements, he rushed back to Chang'an without stopping.
Those who rushed to visit only knew that Jin Wu was the guardian of the house and the master of the Jin Dynasty. He was now even more appreciated and relied on by the saints.
The director of the East Palace Army and Horses is still special Jin, Shangzhu Kingdom, Prince's Young Master, Bachelor of Chongxian Hall, and the Duke of Jin with a title of 1,300 households.
True power is so high that it is so hot that if you can climb it, your future will be unclear.
But who would feel sorry for her for his hard work?
"Alang, I'm hungry. What do you want to eat? I asked the kitchen to get some." Fan Xuanfu asked.
"It's so late, has everyone eaten?"
"not yet."
"It's still the old rule. We eat together in restaurants. It's rare to have fun together at home."
"Okay." Fan Xuanfu went to make arrangements. When Wu Huaiyu was not at home, each hospital had its own food.
Dinner was very lively.
In the huge restaurant, there are groups of wives and concubines, and the house is full of children.
"Alang,"
"Shijiao Li is here."
This is the third time Li Yi's Mansion has come to Jin Guogong's Mansion today. He came here in the morning, again in the afternoon, and now he comes again.
"Didn't I tell him to come back in a few days?" Fan Xuanfu didn't like his husband's student very much because he was too clinging to him.
"Shi Li said that something important happened, something happened to General Su."
"Senior Brother Su?"
Huaiyu asked someone to invite Li Yifu in, but he didn't let him go to the study room without being too discreet, and directly asked him to come to the dining room.
"You haven't had dinner yet, let's come together and chat while we eat."
Li Yifu no longer had his usual pleasant expression. Instead, he frowned and said, "Teacher, something happened to General Su Dingfang."
"Don't be in a hurry, sit down and talk slowly."
Su Lie beat Hou Junji, and then Su Lie was imprisoned.
Hearing this, Wu Huaiyu stopped with the chopsticks in his hand, in disbelief.
But it does happen,
In the afternoon, Hou Junji went to the Ministry of War to take up his post and perform his new duties. Although he was the Minister of the Ministry of War, he also had the title of prime minister to participate in government affairs, so there was a set of grand ceremonies when traveling.
There were five hundred people shouting in front, followed by formations of halberds, swords, shields, bows and spears, maple drums, golden trumpets, ceremonial knives and fans, and officers and assistants accompanying them.
Halfway through, an accident happened. A group of people in front couldn't escape and were whipped by the guards who cleared the way. As a result, the horse was frightened and rushed to the roadside to avoid the crowd. Seeing that it was trampling and injuring people, Su Dingfang happened to be coming from another street. He was also going to the Imperial Palace.
Reported by Chengzuo Tunwei Yamenwei,
Su Lie's troops rushed to control the frightened horse and rescued pedestrians on the roadside in danger.
That piece was very skillful and timely. This was originally a good thing, but when subduing the frightened horse, he knocked over a Wu Bai who was shouting in the ceremonial guard.
When Hou Junji saw that it was Su Lie's person, he didn't know where his muscles were. His soldiers rushed into the prime minister's guard of honor and insisted on being flogged twenty times in public.
Su Lie stepped forward to reason and beg for mercy, but Hou Junji instead asked his men to add twenty more sticks and to whip him again.
He directly held the person down in front of Su Ding and then beat him with a cane. The blows were quick and cruel, and the result was that he was beaten to death in three to five blows.
Now Su Dingfang couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately ran away and started fighting Hou Junji on the street. Hou Junji was also a fierce general, and he was in his early thirties.
Su Lie is also at this age and is equally brave and tough.
But he didn't expect that Su Dingfang would dare to beat him in the street. As a result, Su Dingfang pulled him off his horse and hit him hard with his fists while riding underneath him.
A fierce general from Guanzhong, a fierce general from Hebei,
The two armies had faced each other on the battlefield in Hebei back then. No one thought that one day General Youwei, who was a minister in the same palace, would fight with General Zuotunwei in the street.
It's so surprising.
Although Hou Junji's guards quickly stepped forward and dragged Su Dingfang away, it was said that Hou Junji's nose was broken, two teeth were missing, one of his eyes was blood red, and his face was bleeding all over, making him very miserable.
Su Dingfang's all-out attack was as fast and accurate as his thousands-mile attack on Jie Li.
Wu Huaiyu's chopsticks dropped to the ground in shock.
"Where is General Su now?"
"His Majesty sent a hundred cavalry to take General Su to Dali Temple. He is now in Dali Temple Prison."
"Where is Hou Junji?"
"I am temporarily locked up in the province by His Majesty,"
"Your Majesty said that the court meeting tomorrow will be reviewed by the three departments."
Li Yifu had just been promoted to the Supervisory Censor, and he was also a direct bachelor of the Chongxian Hall of the East Palace. The prince served as a lecturer. After learning about this, he immediately rushed to inform the teacher. After all, Su Lie was the teacher's senior brother and Li Jing's eldest disciple.
