The mansion is not small in area, but it doesn't look like Kou Mansion. Liu Mansion is magnificent.
The people guarding the door of the mansion were not the disciples or servants, but two old soldiers wearing armor and holding swords.
When Kou Ji arrived at the gate of the mansion, he was stopped by the old soldier.
"who?"
Kou Ji smiled calmly and said: "Kou Mansion, Kou Ji!"
"The young master from Prime Minister Kou's house?"
When the old soldier heard this, he screamed in surprise and hurriedly knelt down to salute Kou Ji.
One of them chatted with Kou Ji, while the other apologized and hurried to the mansion to complain.
After a while.
A tall, round-waisted man with a full beard and wearing casual clothes appeared outside the house with a big smile.
"Why did Mr. Kou think of coming to my house?"
"Don't blame me for being late to welcome you!"
The man laughed and said.
Kou Ji smiled softly, cupped his hands to the man and said, "Kou Ji, I have met Uncle Zhu."
The man was stunned when he heard this, and laughed and said: "I can't afford to be an uncle, so don't yell."
Kou Ji looked at him and said with a smile: "We are all members of our own family. Uncle Zhu does not need to see outsiders."
The man raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "My family...this sounds comfortable."
The man raised his hand, put it on Kou Ji's shoulder, and said, "You are indeed different from the other dandy boys in Bianjing City."
Kou Ji did not have any objection to his actions, but said with a smile: "Uncle Zhu can't talk nonsense. I am now an official of the imperial court, not a playboy."
"Hahaha……"
Seeing that Kou Ji didn't object, the man put his hands on his shoulders and immediately laughed loudly, "I now believe that what you just said was not hypocritical."
Kou Ji glanced at him, "My family?"
The man nodded and said frankly: "Zhu came from a bad background. Although he is in a high position now, the nobles in Bianjing City still look down on me, and the children in their family also look down on me.
Of course, it doesn't matter whether they think highly of me or not.
What matters is whether you, kid, can look up to me."
"Uncle Zhu is joking..."
Kou Ji said with a smile.
The man shook his head, "Zhu is telling the truth. Zhu came from a humble background. If Kou Gong hadn't promoted him, he would probably still be a captain guarding the border. Kou Gong was very kind to Zhu, so Zhu naturally had to be close to people in the Kou government.
After knowing that there was an additional master in the Kou Mansion, Zhu wanted to get close to him, but he was just afraid that you would dislike Zhu, so he didn't dare to take any action.
Now that I have met your boy, he is willing to call Zhu uncle, and Zhu is very happy.
This shows that you, the boy, do not dislike Zhu."
If it were someone else, hearing what the man said, they might still have doubts, think it was fake, and feel hypocritical.
But Kou Ji won't.
Kou Ji, who was familiar with historical data, knew that the man in front of him was the most loyal to Kou Zhun.
For Kou Zhun, he can do anything.
Historical records record that after Kou Zhun was dismissed from office and sent to Leizhou, he led his soldiers and horses and immediately rebelled, vowing to help Kou Zhun seek justice.
Although he was defeated and killed in the end, his loyalty to Kou Zhun can be proved by historical data.
He is Zhu Neng!
Kou Ji laughed and said, "Uncle Zhu's words are serious. I can look down on anyone, but I won't look down on you."
When Zhu Neng heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then grinned and said, "My family?"
Kou Ji nodded, "My family!"
Zhu Neng smiled even more heartily, "Since you are one of your own, don't stay outside the house and follow Zhu into the house quickly. Zhu went into the mountains yesterday and hunted a big insect, so we let the house stew it.
Let’s talk while eating.”
Kou Jile said: "Uncle Zhu is so generous..."
Zhu Neng was stunned, shook his head and said with a smile: "How generous is this? If you like it, Zhu will have one sent to you every day from now on."
Kou Ji shook his head and said, "No, no, no..."
"Really no need?"
"It's really not necessary."
At Zhu Neng's warm invitation, Kou Ji entered Zhu's mansion.
As soon as he entered the mansion, Zhu Neng ordered the people in the mansion to serve Kou Ji as if he were himself.
The servants and servants in Zhu's house all nodded in agreement.
Zhu Neng welcomed Kou Ji to the main hall and sat down. First he had several jugs of good wine served, and then some dishes.
It takes a lot of time to stew that big insect. Zhu Neng couldn't let Kou Jiqian wait.
After the two of them sat down.
Kou Jicheng asked his entourage to bring the small gift he had brought, "This is a small gift, please accept it from Uncle Zhu."
Zhu Neng looked at the gift handed over by Kou Ji without even looking at it. He pushed it back in front of Kou Ji and said carelessly: "If you call Zhu uncle, Zhu should give you a greeting gift, not you give a gift to Zhu."
"Butler! Butler!"
Zhu Neng immediately called the housekeeper in the house and ordered: "Go to the warehouse and see if there are any valuable items. Pack them together and bring them to Kou Xiaozi."
When Kou Ji heard this, his mouth opened wide with a look of astonishment on his face.
Kou Ji has seen a lot of people who give face-to-face gifts, but he has never seen people who send them to the warehouse as soon as they are made.
It can be seen that Zhu Neng sincerely wants to send it, and there is no falsehood.
Kou Ji was stunned for a moment, came to his senses, and quickly waved his hand: "No, no, no..."
Zhu Neng was stunned when he heard this, and said in deep thought: "You don't like it? Then what do you want? Zhu has thousands of hectares of thin fields on Yongxing Military Road. Do you want it? Or Zhu can select some with strong martial arts skills for you from the army."
Follow you?
If you don't like anyone, just let them die.
If something goes wrong, just call Zhu and he will call them back to the military camp, and no one else can find out even if they want to."
Kou Ji laughed dumbly and quickly shook his head and said, "No need really! I came here this time to ask Uncle Zhu for a favor."
Kou Ji quickly revealed his purpose of going to Zhu's Mansion.
He was afraid that if Zhu Neng continued to talk, the entire mansion would be given to him.
"help?"
Zhu Neng was stunned and asked: "What can I help you with?"
Kou Ji said frankly: "I recently got a good talent, and I want to put him under Uncle Zhu's hands to hone his skills."
Zhu Neng was stunned, "Just such a trivial matter?"
Kou Ji smiled and said: "I value him very much and believe that he will do great things in the future."
Zhu Neng nodded thoughtfully and asked: "Where are you going to place the people? Yongxing Army? Or the Forbidden Army? What position will you give them, school captain? Yuhou?"
Kou Ji pondered: "Forbidden Army... He went to the Yongxing Army and was going to be tattooed. I don't like to see him being tattooed. As for the position, there is no need to give him such a high position for the time being. He is not old, so let him go first
Start from the beginning.”
Tattooing is a tradition of the Song Dynasty.
In addition to the imperial army, all registered soldiers in the Song Dynasty must be tattooed.
And it’s not just a simple tattoo of one or two words.
The soldier's military station, military name, camp name, etc. all need to be tattooed on the body.
After changing the military station, running the army, and running the camp, you have to tattoo again.
It's a fucking trap.
The most embarrassing thing is that the soldiers of the Song Dynasty must be mobilized once every three years.
In other words, every three years, they have to tattoo again.
Originally, the officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army also needed tattoos.
But the warriors in Bianjing City did not agree.
Most of their children serve in the Forbidden Army, and they don't want their children to become covered in tattoos.
