"Wang Ben, tell the elders to prepare the guest room and arrange for the third young master to stay..." Wang Jian waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to leave.
"promise!"
Nodding in agreement, Wang Ben stood up from behind the desk, stretched out his hand and said: "Third Young Master, please..."
Ying Gao stood up calmly, raised his hands to Wang Jian, and after Wang Jian nodded, he walked towards Wang Ben and said, "Uncle Wang, you don't have to be so rigid about etiquette, just call me Qin Gao!"
"After all, I have been living in the house for a long time, and I am just a scholar, not a young master!"
"call……"
After Ying Gao said these words, Wang Jian nodded, and Wang Ben's eyes lit up, and his impression of Ying Gao became a little better.
"Since the young master said so, then Wang Ben has gone too far!"
…
Ying Gao was helpless. In the Qin Dynasty, he couldn't understand some things. For example, in history, Fusu Huhai was named Zhao, while he and General Lu were named Qin.
A surname can change once it is passed down, but a surname remains unchanged for thousands of years. Although there is a theory that Qin and Zhao have the same origin, "shi" is a reflection of the family's social status. If the family's status improves, another "shi" can be established.
Although Qin's ancestors started to prosper a little later than Zhao's, they can be said to have caught up from behind.
Feizi, the ancestor of Qin, was appreciated by King Xiao of Zhou because he was good at raising horses. He was granted the title of Qin Yi and became the first king of Qin.
During the reign of Duke Xianggang of Qin during the Spring and Autumn Period, the state of Qin was officially classified as a vassal state, while the Zhao branch was not officially classified as a vassal state until the Warring States Period.
It can be said that Zhao is far less glorious than Qin!
In an era like the Pre-Qin Dynasty, the most noble person was the king, and the king did not need a family name to show his dignity.
The funniest thing is that they are all descendants of the Qin prince. Although they have one father and multiple mothers, it seems nonsense to support the Zhao family and win the Qin family.
Unless these princes all had fiefs. However, Ying Gao knew that from the beginning to the end, none of the royal princes of the First Emperor's dynasty had fiefs.
Even if it is a false seal!
After all, in the Great Qin Empire, there is no war meritorious service that cannot be awarded!
Except for Fusu, many of the princes of the Qin Dynasty have never been on the battlefield. But Fusu does not need to be sealed, the whole world belongs to him.
Therefore, the princes of Great Qin did not have fiefdoms at all, so it was impossible for them to have different surnames.
However, Ying Gao liked Qin more than Zhao.
After all, there was already a Zhao Gao in the Great Qin Dynasty. He was a dignified heir to the Qin Emperor, and he could not have the same name and surname as a eunuch.
Therefore, he usually calls himself Ying Gao or Qin Gao.
…
Thoughts flashed in his mind, and Ying Gao could only sigh, Hegel's famous saying: Existence is reasonable.
…
After checking into the palace, Ying Gao was walking cautiously in the courtyard. He needed to understand the simplest layout in the palace.
After all, he wanted to live in it, and he should not trouble Wang Jian too much. The most important thing was to support himself.
At the stone doorway leading to the main courtyard garden, a big black dog guarded the threshold and snored vigorously under the hot summer sun, its narrowed eyes only darting towards wanderers.
The end of May is the busiest time of the year for farming and also the hottest weather.
The summer wind blew and the leaves rustled. Ying Gao walked to the stone door and smiled, saying: "There is actually a dog, so fierce and evil!"
Ying Gao felt the ferocious aura from this black dog, and he couldn't help but hesitate in his steps. He didn't think that he had ever fucked such a fierce dog at this moment.
"Even a dog bullies me, I can't survive this life——!" Ying Gao glanced at the big black dog, muttered to himself, and wandered around the yard again.
"Are you a young master?"
Just when Ying Gao was blocked by the big black dog and was about to turn back, a boy of eleven or twelve years old walked out of the stone door, his eyes full of exploration.
"Um!"
Nodding, Ying Gao naturally knew that if he could appear in Wang Jian's mansion, it would most likely be Wang Li.
"Are you the son of General Wang, Wang Li?"
…
The two people looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and they seemed to know each other.
Wang Li was eleven or twelve years old, which was the most playful age for boys. He rolled his eyes and said, "Gao, are you planning to go to the backyard? I can take you in, Dahei doesn't dare to bite me..."
"Li, the backyard is the inner house. As an outsider, I can't go in..." Ying Gao shook his head. He knew that generally speaking, the back house is the last one to enter.
"Gao, you are overthinking it. The backyard is my martial arts training ground and no one lives there..."
After hesitating for a moment, Ying Gao nodded and said: "Let's go, I also want to see my brother's martial arts..."
For Ying Gao, he naturally wanted to build a good relationship with Wang Li. After all, Ying Gao was alone and had no foundation in the Qin Dynasty.
As for Wang Li, you can figure it out slowly!
…
Wang Jian's mansion is not big. The last step you enter is a small garden with two acres of land, and next to it is the small bamboo forest courtyard where Ying Gao lives.
"Gao, this is the martial arts training place. I am the only one in the entire Wang family who can come in..." Wang Li was a little proud. As the eldest grandson of the Wang family, he naturally has a high status.
Moreover, a family of generals like the Wang family has an orderly inheritance, and they are even more strict in the training of their descendants. There can be multiple generals in one sect.
But there will never be multiple handsome talents!
Among the entire Wang family, Wang Li is the next person to train handsome talents.
"Brother Li..."
…
"Third Young Master, young master, today's mission sent by the master of the family——!" The elder of the family greeted at the stone gate, waiting for the arrival of Wang Li and others.
Wang Li took the parchment and waved to the elder: "My elder, please go down, I will tell the third young master——!"
Wang Li did not dare to act arrogantly when it came to his family elders. In a family like the Wang family with an orderly inheritance, etiquette was extremely important, and the identity of the family elders was not simple.
Even Wang Li doesn’t dare to be disrespectful!
Wang Li only remembered the time when he bumped into his family elders and was severely beaten by his grandfather. That meal of stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots was a bloody lesson.
Since then, Wang Li has been a little worried about his family getting old.
…
"Gao, my grandfather gave you a task. You must chop the sword five hundred times, and each time you will leave white marks on the tree!" Wang Li raised the parchment in his hand, and the smile on his face was a bit gloating.
He came from Ying Gao's age, so he naturally knew how difficult it was to split a sword five hundred times, and Ying Gao was in poor health. He also knew this from his father.
Therefore, splitting the sword five hundred times will make Ying Gao paralyzed from exhaustion!
…
"Brother Li, where is the sword? Since the teacher has a task, as a disciple, you should try your best to complete it!" Ying Gao's eyes flashed and he shouted to Wang Li.
Unlike Wang Li, although Ying Gao is only six and a half years old on the surface, he is already as old as Wang Jian in his heart. He knows in his heart how chaotic the world will be in the future.
Martial arts will be your foundation for settling down!
Now that Wang Jian planned to give him all his money, Ying Gao was naturally happy to see it come to fruition. He even agreed to Wang Jian's offer to live in the Wang family.
