Although the houses in Beijing are a bit expensive, Xu Qing thinks it's okay and she cares about her children.
So it's normal.
Xu Qing finally showed off his money in front of the two of them, but who knew that these two guys almost bought the house at the cheapest gate of the city and left the city in just two steps!
The houses in the outer city were so cheap that Xu Qing couldn't even show off how rich he was. Moreover, if the old man fell down again, Liu Ji and Li Dong would have to drive a carriage from the outer city to the inner city.
?
When these two boys were poor, they often cheated on their few pennies. Now that they are rich, they feel sorry for themselves?
Old Xu Qing's father died early in the line of duty, and his mother passed away not long after. From then on, he was raised by Li Dong and Liu Ji's family. It can be said that without these two families, it would be difficult for Old Xu Qing to grow up.
It's so big and waiting for him to walk through.
Therefore, the kindness of these two families to the old Xu Qing can be passed on to his new Xu Qing. Of course, they must choose a residence that is close to the best orthopedic hospital in Beijing, and it is also well-decorated. You can move in with your bags.
.
After Xu Qing chose a house for the two of them, he chatted with Liu's mother for a few words and then left. He still had a wife to take care of at home.
Li Dong stood in the lobby and exclaimed: "This house is really big, Xu Qing is too willing to give it up, and it is still in the inner city of the capital. How much money does it cost?"
Liu Jidao: "Okay, okay, hurry up and order a table of food. I have been working so hard that I haven't eaten yet."
After Li Dong left, Liu's mother looked at Liu Ji and asked, "This boy has been handsome since he was a child. I knew this boy from the Xu family could succeed."
Liu Ji couldn't help but sigh: "Yes...it's so successful. I married our county magistrate's daughter."
Mother Liu asked: "Xu Xiaozi just told me that he is now the Marquis of Anding County. Wasn't our County Magistrate Su transferred to this Anding County in the capital? What is the Marquis of Anding County? He is also under our County Magistrate.
An official of?"
"This... County Marquis..." Liu Ji said with complicated eyes: "Actually, he is not an official, but he is now bigger than the county magistrate."
He seemed to be still a county uncle when he came back, right? Now he is a county prince?
Since he became the shopkeeper of the Yongzhou branch of Qingxue Study School, he has also learned to read and read on weekdays. Naturally, he knows how difficult it is to be a county prince in Chu State.
Even if you are a minister, you may not be able to get a title in your lifetime.
To be a baron or a viscount is a sign of great favor from the emperor.
But how could Xu Qing still be promoted to this title?
Liu's mother was surprised when she heard Liu Ji's explanation: "It's older than the official Su County magistrate in our county?! How big of an official is this? The old Xu family is really blessed! I knew it when I was a child
This little boy will have a big future sooner or later. He has become such a big official and still recognizes us."
Liu Ji smiled and said, "What are you talking about, mother? Even if he disowns me, how can he disown you? Didn't you sew half of the clothes he wore when he was a child? Xu Qing is so rebellious...this...this
Boy, you are not that kind of ungrateful person. You are just a person who has heard too much about books. Who said that once you become a high official, you will definitely disown others?"

In the post house
There were two people sitting behind a round table.
One is Agula, and the other is a powerful warrior from their Wanyan tribe who follows the Khan in battles. Wanyan Chengji is on an envoy with Agula this time as the captain of the guard.
Wan Yanchengji sat on the chair and pounded the table hard, shouting: "Agula, come to the Chu country, you will lose the face of the grassland warriors! Are we going to let these Chu people be like this?"
Do cattle and sheep generally lead each other by the nose?"
Agula shook his head and said: "Now that Chu is becoming more and more powerful, we must not be reckless."
"Reckless?" Wan Yanchengji snorted: "Are you afraid of being reckless or afraid of Chu? In front of those Chu people, you don't even dare to say a harsh word?!"
Agula said, "The second prince didn't say anything either."
Wan Yancheng said, "Don't change the topic!"
Agula sighed and said: "Recklessness will not solve the problem! Yelling will not solve the problem."
Wan Yanchengji said angrily: "You coward on the grassland! You hide in the tent when the war comes. It's a shame that the Khan still trusts you so much! You are so weak when facing the people of Chu!"
Agula said: "At least I know how to use my brain better than you. Let me ask you, from the time our mission came to Chu State to now, do you know where Chu State's gunpowder formula is hidden?"
Wan Yancheng said: "Of course it's the Firearms Department. Is there any need to investigate? The Chu people don't hide it at all. Besides, the Firearms Department is always heavily guarded. Even if it is transported, a large army will accompany it. If you want someone to sneak into the Firearms Department
It would be really stupid to steal the gunpowder formula."
Agula said: "The Firearms Department is the top priority of the Chu State. Naturally, we can't enter. However, through my secret investigation, I found that in addition to the Firearms Department, there is another place that has the formula for gunpowder."
When Wan Yanchengji heard this, he couldn't help but stood up and asked, "Where is it?"
Agula said calmly: "Didn't General Chengji just think that I was a coward who would only stay in the tent during the war?"
Seeing Agula's expression, Wan Yanchengji gritted his teeth and said, "I was reckless just now, Agula, where can I find that formula?"
Agula said: "Chunyang Gym."
"Chunyang Gym?" Wanyan Chengji murmured and asked, "Where is the Chunyang Gym?"
Agula said: "Chunyang Taoist Hall is in Anding County, and Chunyang Taoist Hall is not heavily guarded. There are only some old Taoist priests who only know some medical skills and alchemy, and some ordinary disciples. Rumor has it that he is the one who is responsible for gunpowder."
The refined waste elixir was then turned into fireworks and sold in Chu State, and then was slightly improved by the Marquis of Anding County and turned into gunpowder."
Wan Yanchengji said with a fierce look on his face: "Agula means that as long as we can send people to sneak into the Chunyang Taoist Temple, we can steal the gunpowder formula? Can we also have firearms on our grassland?"
Agula nodded and said, "That's what I mean."
Wanyan Chengji said: "But Khan said that firearms are just scary things and can only be used for a short time. Is it really necessary?"
Agula said in a deep voice: "You and Khan have been fighting everywhere these years. No one has studied the firearms of Chu. General Chengji, listen to me. I am afraid that firearms will replace bows and horses in the future. As long as we can
By replicating firearms, we will have the confidence to attack the Central Plains."
When Wan Yanchengji heard Agula's affirmation, he finally nodded and said: "Okay! Since you said so, Agula, I will send someone over at night to steal the formula."
Agula said seriously: "If we can't steal it, we will secretly kidnap the old Taoist priest from Chunyang Gym. Even if we force him to interrogate, he must ask for the formula of gunpowder! This is related to the future of our grassland."
