"Father, if eldest brother wants to continue to stay in Nanya, it is best not to have any conflicts with Luo Xiaoqi these days." Su Xiaoxiao analyzed, "Although Xiaoxiao has never seen this person, he can
To win Qingyi's heart, there must be something extraordinary. The handling of this matter today was perfect. If it were another person, I'm afraid no one could do it better than him. Although he injured his elder brother, he didn't
Taking further actions will not only seek justice for myself, but also gain a good reputation. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone."
"Your elder brother was beaten and injured, and you still speak for the enemy?" Su Changhe said displeased.
"Father, I am just objectively stating a fact."
"Xiaoxiao, what do you think we should do in this situation?" Su Changhe asked, spreading his hands. He didn't dare to go to his sister, the imperial concubine Su Muer, to talk about this matter, or he might get scolded.
"I heard that Qin Hongtiao also went to take Luo Xiaoqi's written examination for new recruits?" Su Xiaodao.
Su Changhe nodded: "That's what happened. What's wrong?"
"If Qin Hongtiao can enter Nanya, then my daughter can also enter." Su Xiaoxiao said with a slight curve in her mouth. The things in the academy did not attract her at all. If she did not stay in the academy, she could recruit some talents.
, she didn’t even want to stay there and had already applied for graduation.
"Xiao Xiao, this Nanya has strict rules. Once you become a member of Nanya, you will be a member of Nanya for life. You have to think about it." Su Changhe said in shock.
"Qin Hongtiao has already made a marriage agreement with the fourth prince. She can enter Nanya, why can't I?" Su Xiaoxiao said.
Su Changhe knew that Su Xiaoxiao's ambition was to marry her cousin Ye Yuan, the third prince, and become the third prince's concubine. What she ultimately wanted was the position of queen.
However, Emperor Yongxi never let go of the marriage. Naturally, Concubine Su also wanted her niece to marry her son.
But she has no say in this matter, her husband has to nod.
Emperor Yongxi gave birth to five princes. The youngest was only eight years old. He did not consider marriage. The eldest was already married and the second was also engaged. However, the second was practicing martial arts all year round and was not interested in getting married. This was a matter for the future royal family.
Basically, the candidates for the throne will not compete for the throne. The third child is not married, but there are many women. The fourth child is also engaged, and they can only get married after opening a government office.
The princes of the Zhou Dynasty all get married relatively late, around the age of twenty-five. This marriage refers to a formal marriage. After all, the status of the official princes and concubines is different, so they need to be carefully selected. Even if the candidate is decided, it is easy to investigate, and it will not be until the end.
It may not be possible to determine for a moment.
The prince will only be given a title after he gets married, usually a county prince. Most princes wait until a brother of his generation succeeds to the throne before they are given a title, in order to gain favor.
Only a prince is qualified to be a prince.
But now Emperor Yongxi seems to have changed the rules. When he was alive, he did not intend to establish a prince. He has five sons, the eldest son Ye Huan, the second prince Ye Chuan, the third prince Ye Yuan, the fourth prince Ye Kai, and the fifth prince Ye Lin.
According to the ancestral system, he should make Ye Ming the crown prince, but Emperor Yongxi didn't seem to like Empress Cai very much. However, Empress Cai was assigned to him by the late emperor, and he did not dare to abolish her after he ascended the throne. After all, Empress Cai did not make any mistakes, and she still
He gave birth to the emperor's eldest son and the emperor's eldest daughter Ye Yan. At the beginning of his accession to the throne, the government was unstable, and he also needed the full help of the Cai family behind Empress Cai.
If he had to abolish the emperor and establish a new one, he would be accused of being "unfilial". How could Emperor Yongxi, who always cherished feathers, do such a stupid thing?
"I have already mentioned your marriage to your aunt. She said that when the third prince returns to the court after victory next year, she will personally mention it to His Majesty. You don't have to worry." Su Changhe said, "Your aunt will do it."
I believe that as my daughter-in-law, other women will not agree to this."
When Su Xiaoxiao heard this, she couldn't help but feel happy and said hurriedly: "Thank you, father."
"Okay, your brother's matter still needs to be resolved. Nanya can't just let it go like this." Su Changhe said.
"Since my brother is injured, let's take some leave and rest, and then go to Nanya after the matter calms down. Anyway, my brother's position has been decided, so it doesn't matter." Su Xiaoxiao said, "The problem now is how to arrange the people that my brother has recruited.
Go to the important position of the Special Investigation Division."
"What can you do?" Su Changhe asked.
"The chief officer of the Special Investigation Division is Mr. Yan Fangyan, the chief seal officer of Nanya. We only need to get through his relationship, and naturally the people recruited by the elder brother can be placed in key positions." Su Xiaodao.
"I understand the principle, but how to do it?"
"My daughter heard that Mr. Yan Fangyan was a scholar and liked the calligraphy of famous calligraphers of the past dynasties. Doesn't our family have a copybook of Mr. Wu Ming, a famous calligrapher from the previous dynasty? You can use this copybook as a stepping stone."
"Your father bought this calligraphy with great difficulty..." Su Changhe also likes to be elegant and has a lot of famous calligraphy, painting and calligraphy posts at home.
"Father, you keep these copybooks at home. You haven't looked at them for several years. They have become moldy at home. You might as well take them out and put them to good use!"
"Xiao Xiao, what are you talking about? Dad has only had such a few preferences in his life, but you say it's useless?"
"Can these copybooks help the Su family become the first aristocratic family in the Great Zhou Dynasty?" Su Xiaoxiao asked back.
"How outrageous, how can you say that about the first aristocratic family!" Su Changhe was shocked. This first aristocratic family is the royal Ye family. If you want to be the first aristocratic family, doesn't it mean you are telling others that our Su family is going to rebel?
"My daughter made a mistake."
"Let me give it a try. Yan Fang is different now. He may not listen to me." Su Changhe thought about it for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "What should I do about Luo Xiaoqi? Are we going to let him continue to be so arrogant?
"
"Father, if you want someone to die, you don't have to do it yourself. You can kill someone with a borrowed knife!"
"Whose right is it to kill someone with a borrowed knife?"
"Yaowang Valley."
"Why did Yaowang Valley want to kill Luo Xiaoqi?" Su Changhe was a little puzzled. His thinking was really unable to keep up with his resourceful daughter.
"Father, you don't walk around in the world, and you don't understand the dangers of this world. If you read the stories of Yaowang Valley for thousands of years, you will understand that since Luo Xiaoqi possesses magical medical skills, he must be paid attention to by Yaowang Valley.
, Yaowanggu’s approach has always been about getting something and destroying it. Unless Luo Xiaoqi has a great background and can make Yaowanggu so scared that he dare not take action, otherwise he will only have one end, marrying into the family.
Yaowang Valley, or be killed by Yaowang Valley!" Su Xiaoxiao explained, "Not to mention the far ones, but the near ones, you should know the fate of Su Xiaoye, the chief of the Royal Pharmacy Bureau a hundred years ago."
"Su Xiaoye was first attracted by the Saint of Yaowang Valley, and then abandoned her. She joined the Great Zhou Imperial Pharmacy, and then was kicked out by the Imperial Pharmacy. It is said that she was involved in an affair between a man and a woman, and in the end, she was unknown.
Traces." That's all Su Changhe knew.
"Whether it was the Medicine King Valley or the Royal Pharmacy Bureau, they were all taking advantage of Su Xiaoye back then. Today, Xia Yuanli, the chief of the Royal Pharmacy Bureau, is Su Xiaoye's grandson." Su Xiaoxiao chuckled.
"Xiao Xiao, how do you know these secrets?" The Su family is still too young and their background is too shallow. Su Changhe doesn't know many secrets, and no one will tell him.
"These are all recorded in the library of Jixia Academy. My daughter usually likes to read the anecdotes and biographies of famous people. There are many seniors in the Academy who have left relevant records in their works," Su Xiaoxiao said.
, "The disciples of the Su family are too few. If you want to reach the upper echelons, you must spend more time studying and interrogating than others. Also, you must make a marriage arrangement for Su Rui. The Su family is too small and must be branched out as soon as possible."
Sanye, of course my father can also add some younger brothers and sisters for us, I don’t mind.”
Su Changhe blushed. As a man, he naturally wanted to marry more concubines, but his first wife, Su Rui, and Su Xiaoxiao's mother were very powerful. He could play outside, but he had to marry them back home.
, that would be difficult.
He did take a concubine, but the problem is that she is the wife's dowry girl, and she has not yet given birth to her daughter.
"Father, as long as we see the opportunity to add fuel to the flames, we don't have to worry about Yaowang Gu and Luo Xiaoqi getting into trouble or even turning against each other. When the time comes, we'll just wait and watch the show." Su Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and said with a smile.
"Okay, this is a great plan!"
…
In the morning, I will instruct Hua Laosan and the others to practice boxing as usual, then have a meal and go to the Nanya Special Investigation Office to answer questions.
There is nothing going on in the Special Investigation Division, the staff is still being deployed, and the new people recruited by Su Rui did not come over immediately to apply for induction.
Basically, I was given three days to sort out some of my own affairs before joining the company, which was considered a cooling-off period.
Joining Nan Ya is not like other departments. Once you complete the entry procedures, you cannot withdraw. This is better than registering to join the army. If you want to withdraw, you are a deserter and will be dealt with directly by military law on the battlefield.
In reality, you may be beaten with twenty military sticks, then sentenced to hard labor, sent to a cannon fodder camp or a death camp, and have a chance to survive until retirement.
This is considered light. If you join Nanya, you can't leave. If you want to leave, you must meet the conditions stipulated by Nanya or the imperial court recruits you. If the imperial court recruits you, you will still belong to Nanya, and then you will die and be buried in the soil.
, then no one will care about you anymore. Anyway, no one will dig you out and beat your corpse.
Early the next morning, as soon as Luo Xing arrived at Nanya, he met Xu Chanjuan, who had come early to apply for employment.
This girl was also impatient. Luo Xing took her into Nanya, helped her get hired, received Tiqi's belongings and waist badge, and then arranged for someone to take her to familiarize herself with Nanya's environment. He then went to find Meng Yi himself.
.
He had to discuss Miss Xue's matter with Master Mengyi, and also informed him about his visit to the Shen Mansion.
Mengyi agreed very much with his refusal to accept the one hundred thousand taels of gold consultation fee and only left a gold ticket.
Sometimes, you don’t necessarily have to accept what others give you. Accepting everything is not necessarily a good thing.
Of course Shen Zhuang is not such a stingy person, but by accepting this money, it will be regarded as a buyout, and there will be no further involvement.
A favor from Cheng Guogong Shen Zhuang is much more valuable than these one hundred thousand taels of gold.
Three days like this passed in a flash.
Zhou Jiayu has come to Nanya to join the job. He even changed into new clothes to wash away the fishy smell from his body.
The lowest level Tiqi status, clothes, weapons, waist badges, etc. given upon joining are all given out immediately.
Luo Xing also specially asked Wang Miao to win a "hound" position for Hei Niu. In this way, Hei Niu can also receive a separate share of food and grass in Nanya, which is similar to the horse feed subsidy for mounts, but the war horse is provided with horse feed.
, and Hei Niu was directly converted into money and given to Zhou Jiayu, so for Zhou Jiayu, the burden of raising Hei Niu, a big eater, was much lighter.
