Pei Ruyu, Bai Muxiang and his wife will return to the imperial capital next year to report on their duties. However, Emperor Mu Xuan has sent an angel to deliver the rewards for the two of them. Except for land and property, Emperor Mu Xuan generously promoted the two of them.
For Mu Anzhi, the only people he cares about are Pei Ruyu and Bai Muxiang, but he is not the only one who has been promoted. The former Tang magistrate of Northern Xinjiang was promoted to the pacification envoy of Northern Xinjiang, and Pei Ruyu jumped directly up a rank and was promoted to the fifth rank of magistrate.
Bai Muxiang is the first meritorious officer. She was promoted the fastest. She is directly on the same level as the comfort envoy and is four levels higher than Pei Ruyu. She is now in the third rank.
Mu Anzhi told Li Yuhua about this happy event, and Li Yuhua was also happy for Pei and Bai.
The following are all happy events in the imperial capital. The first one is the engagement of Tang Mo. Although the eldest daughter of Marquis Lu is a little young and has not yet had her hair this year, this is a marriage given by the emperor, and the eldest princess Fengyang wants to settle it as soon as possible. Unfortunately, she did not get married last year.
The auspicious day has been waiting until this year.
Li Yuhua also went to congratulate him in person.
When Tang Mo gets engaged, it will be the wedding ceremony between the eldest daughter of Princess Fengyang and the Marquis of Yong'an. The marriage of top aristocratic families is not to mention lively and dignified. Moreover, the Tang and Li families have always been close, and they had deep roots thousands of years ago.
Said, since Ci'en Palace, Zhaode Palace, Fengyi Palace, and Dong Palace all have rewards, the two prince palaces are naturally not far behind. Especially when Li Yuhua got married, Mrs. Yong'an Marquis was the blessing person. Li Yuhua was usually free.
I often meet up with Mrs. Yong'an Hou to go to Jingxin Nunnery. She has a good relationship with the eldest princess Fengyang. This time I really wish I could go to the wedding banquet at both ends.
However, the eldest princess Fengyang is the direct aunt of the princes, so she still has to go to the Tang family for the wedding banquet. However, two sets of gifts must be prepared.
After these two happy events, Jiang Xun's marriage came next.
Jiang Xun's background was inferior to those of the Tang, Li, and Lu families, but he was still from a famous family, and because his parents were both dead, Emperor Mu Xun took good care of him and even specially rewarded him with congratulatory gifts.
Jiang Xun's aunt also came to the imperial capital early from her husband's appointment to arrange marriage arrangements for Jiang Xun. Many relatives of the Jiang family in the imperial capital also helped. The people from the He family arriving at the imperial capital early. This year Mr. He was promoted to the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu. This time
Mrs. He took her son and sent her daughter over, which meant that she attached great importance to the marriage.
Mrs. He also specially invited the old lady from Yao Guogong's mansion to comb her daughter's hair. Li Yuhua heard about this and said to Mu Anzhi, "I really can't tell. There are many wealthy families in the imperial capital, and the He family is not very conspicuous among the wealthy families. As soon as Li Yuhua makes a move,
Extraordinary, Mrs. Yao has such a long life, she doesn’t even come forward to do anything trivial."
"It's nothing more than other people's affairs. Miss He married Jiang Xun, and the Yao family will definitely come forward," Mu An said.
"I heard that his two families are old families, but eight out of ten of the powerful families in the imperial capital are old families. There is no ancestral relationship between them."
"The Yao family, the Jiang family, and the He family are different. The three of them are poor friends." Mu Anzhi leaned on his pocket and took a sip of plum drink unhurriedly. "That must have been a hundred years ago. The three families were still friends."
They were just ordinary official families. At that time, a strange person came out of the He family, Mrs. He, known as He Xiaoxian. Mrs. He married Duke Wenduan of Jiang, and it was from this Duke Wenduuan that the Jiang family became prosperous. Mrs. He was good at divination. It is said that
He is the descendant of the Tang Immortal in Qingcheng Mountain. He studied the stars and enlightened the Tao, and he knew the secrets of heaven. Mrs. He once had a great favor with the ancestors of the Yao family. According to legend, when the first-generation old man got married, the sky was unlucky, and it was Mrs. He who broke the law for the old man.
In the vision, the old man got his wife safely. It is said that the old man was in danger of his life three times in his life. The first time was when he was shot through the chest by a gangster with an arrow. He was blocked by a piece of jade, and the jade was shattered. The old man was safe.
The Duke asked Mrs. He for a piece of jade again, but this time it was poisoned by a servant. The servant was a person whom the Duke trusted greatly. He drank from the bowl, but suddenly he felt uncomfortable. As soon as he touched the jade, he felt that the jade was poisoned for no reason.
It broke into pieces. The old man didn't drink the medicinal soup at that time, so he tried it on someone else, and it turned out to be poisonous. I heard that later, Mrs. He gave the old man another piece of jade, and this time the jade suddenly broke into pieces, but the old man was not assassinated.
They were not in danger. The old Duke believed in Mrs. He's integrity and started to investigate carefully. He found out that a rockslide occurred in a valley they were marching through. If they had passed through the valley early, they were afraid of encountering mountain danger. If they were late, they would be trapped.
If rocks block the road, it will be impossible to pass."
"Is this true?" Li Yuhua asked curiously. She was mostly dubious about these divination things.
"I heard what the imperial grandmother said. Anyway, the Yao family is indeed very good to the Jiang family."
"If Mrs. He is still here, I can ask her to predict when we will have a baby." Li Yuhua said with some regret.
"Why are you so anxious? I believe everything has God's will. Ruyu and the others got married earlier than us, and Axiu was just born not many days ago." Mu Anzhi is not obsessed with the issue of heirs, "Besides, we have just consummated our marriage.
Years, whatever is due, will definitely happen. Children have their own time to be born, so there is no need to rush."
"That's right. There is a sister-in-law in our village who couldn't give birth to a child before she was thirty. After she was thirty, she gave birth to five sons in one go." Li Yuhua asked, "You said, I won't give birth after thirty."
Are you alive?"
Mu Anzhi said slowly, "It doesn't matter if you live again after fifty."
"Bah, bah, bah! How can anyone at fifty still have a baby if you don't have a crow's mouth!"
Although Li Yuhua is looking forward to having a child, she is not in a hurry. She and her third brother have always been in love, and he has never put pressure on her. In short, Mu Anzhi's relaxed state made Li Yuhua, who had always been a bit impatient, relax.
Mu Anzhi said to Li Yuhua, "When Jiang Xun gets married, your majesty will definitely give you a reward. Our family will also prepare a gift. It doesn't need to be too thick, and it doesn't need to be too thin. You can discuss it with the second sister-in-law, and it will be the same for our two families."
Jiang Xun's marriage was very honorable. Not only did Emperor Mu Xuan give him rewards, but also the Eastern Palace of Ci'en Palace gave him things. However, these rewards were in line with Jiang Xun's status as a fourth-grade military general and did not exceed the regulations.
Not only did Du Changshi give a heavy gift to Junior Brother Jiang, he also specially asked for leave from Mu Anzhi's place and became one of the eight envoys to welcome Jiang Xun.
Du Changshi's coquettish, no, romantic appearance attracted the attention of many ladies and ladies, and many of them inquired about him.
However, Du Changshi was not the only one who was in the limelight that day. Ji Ran Ji Baihu's limelight was no worse than that of Du Changshi. Ji Ran's red lips, white teeth and energetic face caught the eyes of the middle-aged and elderly lady, and immediately became more popular than the suave Du Changshi.
Shi Gengbo has a good impression.
Without him, Du Changshi's appearance would make people feel unsteady. Ji Ran was different. His appearance was no worse than Du Changshi's, but he gave people a feeling of being very well-behaved and considerate.
In particular, not long after Jiang Xun got married, Ji Ran caused a big incident. Didn't Xuan Jiawei embezzle military pay earlier? Ji Ran was paid by the army for the first time after he was appointed to Baihu.
Ji Ran took the money back in person and distributed it to the soldiers one by one, telling them, "I will never deduct money from my soldiers under my command!"
Not only is Ji Ran like this, starting from the two generals of the Wei family, the Xuanjia Guards have changed to this way of distributing salary silver. Instead of each salary manager taking it back and letting the soldiers collect it themselves, it has been directly changed to a hundred households of first-level generals to personally distribute it.
As much as you want, it’s clear at a glance!
General Wei did not forget to praise Ji Ran in front of the emperor. For no other reason, the method of distributing money in public was Ji Ran's idea to report it to General Wei. With General Wei's consent, the whole Xuanjia Guard army implemented it.
The negative reputation brought to Xuanjiawei due to his greed for military pay was greatly changed after this incident.
Ji Ran's cleverness and agility in dealing with people are simply breathtaking.
Mu An said, "With his good manners and Ji family's background, he had only served as one hundred households in the Lu Hou Army before?"
Du Changshi fanned a small tea fan to boil water and said, "He is his father's old son. He was very dear to him when he was a child. I remember that General Ji was a mighty man. He was rare under the command of his father Ruihou, Marquis of Lu.
A fierce general, he continues to follow Lu Hou to garrison troops in northern Xinjiang. He is such a strong man. When Ji Ran fell when he was a child, General Ji felt distressed with tears in his eyes. General Ji was very strict in raising his children, and his first three sons were all beaten.
After growing up, I came to Ji Ran's place. I heard that before giving birth to him, General Ji dreamed of a pearl falling from the sky in his palm. Mrs. Ji gave birth to Ji Ran, and it turned out to be like a pearl. General Ji's four sons, the most beloved one
He is the one who has always refused to let him get involved in danger. He has spent his whole life selfishly on this younger son. He originally wanted Ji Ran to show his prominence with Lu Hou, but it turned out that Lu Hou was strict in running the army and would not be promoted without military exploits. No,
General Ji sent him to the imperial palace again, and this was indeed the right time to send him."
While talking about Ji's family affairs, Du Changshi made tea and gave it to Mu An personally, "If you ask me, it's a pity that Ji Ran became a military general. His ability to maneuver and maneuver can't be used by Lu Hou, but he is like a fish in water in the imperial capital.
It’s just the right time.”
Sure enough, as Du Changshi said, Ji Ran quickly became a new generation of young generals on par with Jiang Xun. He was still slightly two years younger than Jiang Xun. Although Ji Ran was not as senior as Jiang Xun, Ji Ran's obedient and smart temperament was better than Jiang Xun's.
It is true that Jiang Xun, who has always been serious about his words, is more popular.
Moreover, a few days later, Ji Ran appeared in front of the Queen Mother. Without him, the captured Prince Dashi was sent to the imperial capital. Because Ji Ran had served in Northern Xinjiang in the past, he was ordered to enter the palace to tell the Queen Mother about the customs of Dashi.
He was the candidate recommended by Mrs. Wei. Mrs. Wei said, "The child from the newly arrived army is really sweet, and he speaks eloquently. He came to the government that day to say hello to me, and said he was from Northern Xinjiang.
Everything is so vivid. I heard that there are many cannibals in Northern Xinjiang. He has just come from Northern Xinjiang and knows more about it than the officials at Honglu Temple in the imperial capital."
Ji Ran's very favorable appearance, coupled with his articulate and interesting words, and sometimes interspersed with a few words of his own opinions, made Queen Mother Lan think well of him. After listening to him talk about the Western Regions, she also
He was given a fine sword as a reward. The scabbard was studded with precious stones and was full of royal gaudy style.
From then on, Ji Ran gave up the sword commonly used in the army and wore this sword instead to show his honor and favor.
Ji Ran was so arrogant that he directly attracted Shangguan Feng Qianhu, who was dissatisfied. Feng Qianhu scolded him, "In the army, there are corresponding swords according to military ranks. Generals only wear sabers in the army. What is your status? Don't rely on the general's favor."
You don’t know east, west, north, south! You are a member of the army, not an actor dressed in all kinds of fancy clothes on the stage outside!"
This was quite an unpleasant thing to say, especially in front of his subordinates. He scolded Ji Ran so much that he lost all face. Ji Ran had to plead guilty on his own and received ten sticks in the army. He had been pampered since he was a child.
And because he was smart, he had never received such a heavy responsibility in his life. When he was carried back to the tent by his bodyguard, his face was pale with pain, and his forehead was dripping with sweat.
This was enough to show off his power. After General Wei heard about it, he went to see Ji Ran in person and comforted him, saying, "That rough guy, Old Feng, I told him to take good care of you. Tell me, you
Tell me, what is this?"
"It's also my fault that I didn't understand the rules when I first arrived. How can I blame Mr. Feng? He also kindly gave me advice. If the general blames Mr. Feng, my subordinates will never have the nerve to return to Xuanjia Guard as a servant in the future." He was blamed behind him, and he could hardly sit still.
An, it's not good to lie down, it's indecent to lie down. Now he is sweating and gritting his teeth to hold on. General Wei feels distressed just looking at him.
"Hey, you kid, you are so hurt, yet you are so considerate of others." General Wei sighed in distress.
After General Wei left, the waiter brought him some pain-relieving decoction, "This is too bullying. In the army, people don't just use whatever swords and arrows are most convenient for them. I have never seen such a fussy and particular person! In the army, there are still
Do you have to use a saber? Marquis Lu’s spear was struck by a blacksmith separately. Isn’t this deliberately looking for an excuse to get rid of you?"
"You don't know something. The Xuanjia Guards are one of the Four Imperial Guards. They are responsible for His Majesty's safety. Even if they don't go into battle to kill the enemy, they are equipped with first-class armor and swords. When they travel, they are mostly just for decoration.
So don't worry about being neat and good-looking." Ji Ran took the decoction, gritted his teeth, ate it, and ordered the attendant, "Send people out to keep an eye on the person named Feng!"
The corners of Ji Ran's lips curled up like blades, and his sweet and sweet face suddenly became extremely sharp, "Since someone wants to test my depth, let them try it!"
