Bai Yousi finally sneered, then turned around holding the sword and walked inside.
Zhang Qian and the others did not dare to neglect, and immediately followed.
Entering the gate, you will first see a huge stone carving of Fenshanjun and Bihaijun. Turning around, you will suddenly see a huge courtyard with a stone road in the middle like a street. There are long soldiers on both sides, similar to the halberds standing in front of the door.
.Further away, under the wall gallery on both sides, there are crossbows and short soldiers.
Going around, there were people dressed in brocade, young men in green, and some strong middle-aged women, but most of them were big men in civilian clothes. When they saw Bai Yousi, they all leaned over to say hello, with a respectful attitude.
At the same time, further away on the left and right sides, there was the faint sound of weapons clashing, and the sound of bows and crossbows firing. Zhang Xing, who had lived here for a few days, knew very well that both sides were martial arts training grounds and shooting ranges.
Outside are the dormitories of these strong men, and I once lived in the courtyard of these dormitories.
These are typical family generals and family soldiers, and they are legal family generals and family soldiers. Together, they are about five hundred people. They are the military officers of the generals of the Zhu Kingdom since Bai Yousi's father, Bai Hengqiu, received the title in his early years.
Tradition, the result of past great achievements...and the number five hundred is actually comparable to the Duke's Mansion inherited by Uncle Bai Yousi.
And now, the Marquis of Ji'an has entered Nanya at the age of forty-six or seventeen.
All I can say is that people's fate is indeed... and indeed they still have to be fought for.
I don’t know how many times they walked into the courtyard, but the three of them finally stopped. Bai Yousi, a few attendants, and a few maids who came to greet them walked in first, but Qian Tang and Zhang Xing couldn’t help but look at each other.
Without him, they actually arrived in front of the ancestral hall where the statues of the three radiances and four emperors were placed.
What is this?
Should I take an oath first when I come in, or should I pay homage first?
But there was no time to think too much. Bai Yousi went in for a moment, and four maids came out to welcome them, and then led the two people in front of the door into the ancestral hall.
Once you enter the ancestral hall, the regulations are much higher than those in ordinary people's homes.
For ordinary people, a few small wooden carvings are enough. To worship on weekdays, they have to go to the public temple in the village community. Here in Dongdu, there is also a Gongguan Temple in the square, and almost every square has one.
There are separate temples dedicated to them, either honoring the three splendors or honoring one of the four emperors.
It was not until a wealthy man of Feng Yong's level had the money to build a large house at home, with the four royal palaces on all sides, the three splendors in the middle, and the ancestral tablets around it.
Here in Ji'an Marquis Mansion, it is even more exaggerated.
There is actually a small courtyard inside the ancestral hall, surrounded by independent temples of the four emperors. In the middle of the middle courtyard, there is a hollow pavilion. Inside the pavilion is a three-hui-thick 'golden pillar', made of copper and coated with gold.
The beads are all covered with patterns of the sun and the moon. They are several feet tall and look like a big tree. However, this tree does not bloom or bear fruit. It is just divided into three at the top, and each has a sculpture of three brilliance of one day and two months.
.
Not to mention, there are actually corner pavilions in the surrounding corners, and there are several real dragon statues with good reputation among the people.
"Which one is Qian Tang?"
Just when Zhang Xing's attention was slightly attracted by the four-faced statue, under the golden pillar, a handsome old man with gray hair and dressed in brocade clothes had already spoken on the futon.
Zhang Xing noticed that there was a chessboard in front of this person, and the chessboard was clearly black and white. It had already reached the middle game, but there was one missing opponent. Bai Yousi was standing behind this old handsome guy.
There is even no other futon on the other side of the chessboard, so I don’t know who Mr. Bai is playing chess with?
"The villain is Qian Tang." Qian Tang was obviously a little nervous, so much so that he instinctively swallowed his saliva when he bowed his hands. "I have met Mr. Bai."
This voice, not to mention that Bai Hengqiu is rumored to be a master who has reached the master level. Even if he is not, ordinary people can hear it clearly.
Therefore, Qian Tang immediately swallowed his saliva for the second time.
"Big money, right? I've heard your name a long time ago."
Bai Hengqiu turned around, pressed the chessboard and smiled, his tone was particularly kind. "Sisi, I have thanked you for your hard work for a long time."
Qian Tang quickly humbled himself: "It's all patrolling to protect our men, so where is our hard work?"
"That's not the case. How can I not understand my daughter?" Bai Hengqiu pressed the chessboard on the futon while twirling his beard and sighed with a smile. "Not long after she was born, I met a Taoist from the Nandi Temple and said she was
The destiny of the mighty phoenix is to become a dragon and become a god in the future... Although this statement is nonsense, it is indeed because he has been gifted since he was a child. He was sent to the Trinity Orthodox Church in Taibai Mountain when he was a teenager, and his practice has made rapid progress.
Dad can only be convinced. Among the young people, Sima Erlong is slightly ahead of him because of his age, but he is still pretty much the same."
At this point, Bai Hengqiu turned back and glanced at his daughter, who was standing like a stone sculpture holding a sword, and continued to sigh:
"Actually, she does not lack the education that a child of aristocratic families should have. It's just that she has such a high level of cultivation, comes from such a family, and after all, she is a girl who rarely works outside. She can't help but be a little paranoid and arrogant, and also a little naive and unruly.
Down-to-earth... Unlike Sima Erlong, after becoming an official, he can naturally hang out with his subordinates. He knows the sufferings of the people, the treacherous officialdom, and the helplessness of the world... So, with an experienced person like you following me
It is indeed a blessing to have her by your side. From now on, you will continue to work hard. If you have any difficulties, or if you can't persuade her, just come to me directly."
Qian Tang was inexplicably excited and hurriedly responded, but tears were almost streaming down his face, and he almost choked up: "I will certainly live up to what Mr. Bai said today."
Bai Hengqiu nodded, then twisted his beard and looked at the expressionless Zhang Xing, then sighed: "Zhang Sanlang, I have heard your name and deeds many times...did you live in my house before?
I'm a little unhappy, the servants treated you lightly?"
Bai Yousi, who had always been expressionless, couldn't help but glance down at the top of his old man's head.
Zhang Xing, who had bent over with his hands in hand, was also startled for a moment, then quickly stood up and shook his head, telling the truth: "No such thing, this must be provoked by a villain, please give me Bai Gong's warning."
"Oh, that's probably a misunderstanding." Bai Hengqiu nodded, thoughtfully. "However, there is a reason for my misunderstanding. I can guess it just by listening to your deeds and relaying your words to others.
, you are a truly capable person with an unlimited future... It is normal to be a little cynical when you are so young and working through qualifications."
Zhang Xing'er seemed to feel something was wrong. He opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know how to defend himself. There was really no way to defend the disharmonious remarks he had made in front of Bai Yousi and others over the past six months.
"Do you think this is a good idea?" Bai Hengqiu continued to rub the chessboard and said erratically. "I think you will soon have all the eight main meridians. It is a rare talent. Then I will go to Nanya tomorrow to discuss something, and I will find your Prime Minister.
Mention your name, and first transfer to Bashu or Jiangdong to be a local black ribbon. After two or three years, when your cultivation level has improved and your qualifications have been obtained, you will transfer to another state..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere under the golden pillar was a little strange for a moment.
Bai Yousi was surprised at Zhang Xing's rapid improvement in cultivation. He cleared the sixth track so quickly before, and then he made Bai Shou, and then started to clear the seventh track. She also knew, but how to practice the eighth track.
In front of you?
Qian Tang's mood was much more complicated.
First of all, he must have been surprised that Zhang Xing had caught up with him in practice so quickly, but he was also secretly surprised at the level of Bai Gong's cultivation, because his own inspection was obviously also surprised, but this Bai Gong knew at a glance,
The benefits are visible.
However, the more important thought lies behind, on top of Bai Gong's words... If the arrangement of Lord Bai is followed, Zhang Xing will be asked to leave the Eastern Capital and show up less in front of the inspection, which will inevitably cost him money.
Bai Shou felt a little relaxed in his heart; but on the other hand, with this person's identity, openly promising to leave a state is unlikely to be invalid, and this means that Zhang Xing will become a state before he is twenty-seven or eight years old.
Don't drive away, go to the hall and enter the room.
At that time, the basic identity levels of both parties will be widened, and the children of Jianghu... Bai Xunjian doesn't seem like someone who is willing to settle down in a year or two?
Of course, I don’t know what the other people were thinking. Zhang Xing also had some strange thoughts at this time. He always felt that this old man meant to give you five million. Here is the check. Sign it and leave my daughter.
Moreover, like Qian Tang, Zhang Xing also felt that these five million dollars were so damn tempting!
Immediately he will be the black ribbon, and two years later he will be the Yizhou Zuoer. Before the age of thirty-five, he may be able to return to the Eastern Capital and become a lieutenant or general, and he will be a king or a general.
"If Mr. Bai praises him in this way, and if I don't respond, won't it appear that I don't know how to praise him?"
Zhang Xing thought for a while, then glanced at Bai Yousi, who was expressionless again, and finally bowed seriously, and then spoke sincerely. "But, as Bai Gong said, I have always been cynical... These days, I am
Sitting at the Jing'an Terrace, watching Mr. Bai supervising the construction of the Mingtang, there are always some things that are stuck in my throat... I am so loved by Mr. Bai, if I don't vomit today, not only will I be unhappy, but I will also be responsible for the support of Mr. Bai, and the inspection of many life-and-death stalemates...
…Mr. Bai, can you please let me speak freely?"
Bai Hengqiu stared intently at this little bastard who didn't know how to praise others.
