The old patriarch and Qu Shun begged to see Li Bing and his wife.

After Li Bing returned home from Taiqingguan, the old patriarch father and son had come to visit several times, and the first two times they were holding gifts.

Qu Shun presented a silver ticket with a face value of two hundred taels with both hands, and said respectfully: "I heard that your family moved to Tanzhou Xinfu tomorrow, and our clan gathered some money to congratulate you on your move." ”

The Qu clan had already learned about this from Qu Kuaishou's mouth, and only fifty taels of the two hundred taels of silver tickets were made up by each family, and the rest were made by the old patriarch.

She didn't wait for Li Bing to speak, so she excused herself and said, "This can't be done." Our family can't ask for money from the clan. ”

"This is a little bit of the heart of everyone in the clan, if you don't accept it, I can't explain it to the clansmen." Qu Shun stood and refused to take back the silver ticket.

The old patriarch said excitedly: "The lord of Jing County gave the proceeds of a few acres of medicinal herb land to the clan, and said that if someone in the clan is seriously ill in the future, he will go to Tanzhou to find her for medicine, and she will not charge a penny." ”

Qu said proudly: "Sister Jing told me about this. She did a good job. ”

At the beginning, the old patriarch sold the land to Li Jingjing, and now Li Jingjing has donated the herbs produced in the land to the Qu clan.

The Li family is in favor.

Qu Shun said: "The three acres of medicinal herbs of the lord of Jing County are planted with easy-to-live medicinal herbs, and the income is more than ten times that of the rice field. ”

Li Bing smiled.

In order to see Li Jingjing often, Guangmingzi of Taiqingguan has written a letter to the master of Baiyun Guanguan to transfer to Qingyunguan in Tanzhou.

A medicine apprentice in his forties in Guangmingzi happened to have passed the pharmacist exam not long ago, and he will be a pharmacist in Taiqingguan in the future.

This pharmacist was taught by Guangmingzi, and he was respected as his own father, and he met Li Jingjing and his aunt.

Li Jingjing asked him to collect the Qu clan herbs is a matter of one sentence.

Qu Shun continued: "In the future, as long as the clan sends someone to take care of it, you can collect two hundred taels of silver every year, in addition to paying for the expenses of the school to ask Mr. to buy books." ”

Only then did Qu know that the annual income of the Lu Dao medicinal herb field was two hundred taels of silver, which was not a small amount.

"We'll take it." Li Bing took the silver ticket with both hands and said with a smile: "If there are any difficulties in the clan in the future, just open your mouth." ”

The old patriarch and Qu Shun were extremely happy when they got Li Bing's promise.

Li Jingjing came out of the medicine room, and was stopped by Deng Jing, who was standing under the tree and chatting with Li honestly, "Xiao Jingniang, grandpa will leave tomorrow." I see that the medicine you make is excellent, so you can give me some. ”

"Okay. What medicine do you want? "Li Jingjing likes to deal with this kind of straightforward person.

When Lin died, Deng Jing gave Qu a lot of face and sent silver money to Qu Kuaishou's family.

She thought about sending medicine to Deng Jing, but it was unlucky to send medicine, so she didn't take the initiative to speak.

"I know that Xiao Jing Niang is the most generous." Deng Jingxi said: "Let me tell you about the situation in my family, I only have one wife, no concubines, and your grandmother and I have seven sons and three daughters." We're better than your grandparents, aren't we? ”

He has a good relationship with his wife, and his children and grandchildren are one of the proudest things in life.

Li Jingjing giggled when she heard this, and shouted at Li Bing's bedroom: "Grandpa, Grandpa Deng said that giving birth to a child is better than you, do you accept defeat?" ”

"Sir, I'm joking with Xiaojingniang." Deng Jing hurriedly leaned over and covered Li Jingjing's mouth, and said angrily: "If I tell you about my family's population, you will sue me for being black." ”

He wanted to take the opportunity to tell Li Laoshi about the situation at home, so that Li Laoshi could agree to make Li Yunxiao his grandson-in-law.

He Jingyan walked out of Li Bing's bedroom and said in a loud voice: "Brother Changsheng, Uncle Deng has twenty-four grandsons in his family, and there is only one granddaughter. My niece Deng is nine years old this year, and she knows everything from poetry, piano, calligraphy and painting. Uncle Deng wants to marry Deng's niece to Yun Qing. ”

Deng Jing pointed at He Jingyan and said with a smile: "Uncle will go back to Chang'an and invite you to drink!" ”

Li honestly said very sincerely: "Uncle Deng, I can't be the master of Qing Yanzi's family affairs, you have to ask my father." ”

"Xiaojing Niang, I will continue to tell you about my family, you can see what medicine is good for them." Deng Jing was afraid that he would not have a chance to mention to Li Bing that he would be rejected, so he asked Li Yunqing and Li Laoshi.

Fortunately, Li Yunqing is not very old, and his granddaughter is even younger, listening to Li Bing's tone, the Li family will only stay in Tanzhou for a few years before they will settle in Chang'an, and it will not be too late for him to mention family affairs at that time.

Early the next morning, before dawn, the Li family and the guests all got up, and they had breakfast.

Deng Jing, He Qing, and He Yiyun were escorted by the Imperial Forest Army to take the lead and return to Chang'an.

The Li family got into the carriage, the luggage was stacked on the carriage, escorted by He Jingyan's 100 soldiers, and left Qujia Village and drove to Tanzhou Mansion in the morning.

He Yiyun was lying in the carriage, getting up early today, but he was sleepy, thinking back to the bits and pieces of contact with Li Jingjing these days, and was convinced by Li Jingjing's medicinal skills.

The convoy galloped on the official road, passed Tanzhou, went straight to Wuchang, and stopped at a post house in a county town on Hunan Road in the evening to rest.

He Yiyun was afraid that Murong Ying was in a hurry in the imperial army, so he wrote a long letter under the lamp, a total of twelve pages, read it several times, added two more pages, sealed the letter with wax, handed it to Wang Zhi, and asked him to send it to Chang'an urgently for five hundred miles.

Mingzhu couldn't sleep because of something in her heart, and when she saw He Yiyun tossing and turning on the bed and couldn't sleep, she said softly: "Princess, I don't know if the slave has something to say." ”

He Yiyun said softly: "Come and sit down and talk." ”

Mingzhu sat on the edge of the bed and said in a low voice: "The slave maid heard from the young master of the Qin family that the biological mother, Second Lady Qin, was pregnant. ”

"So what?" He Yiyun's face was full of disgust when he heard the Qin family.

Her second uncle, He Xia, only married one wife in his life, and there was no connecting room.

Two years ago, her second uncle died in battle, and her second aunt, Princess Niu, lost her husband and only had two sons, He Jingqing was the second son.

Princess Niu has always planned to wait for He Jingqing to pass the filial piety period and marry him a virtuous and gentle daughter of a famous family.

He Jingqing was actually drugged by Qin Lan, the concubine of Qin State, to make a fool of himself in public, and fell into a notorious reputation for filial piety, and was scolded by Princess Niu for fifty years and sent to the front line in the north.

Old Princess Niu would rather let him die on the battlefield than let him marry Qin Lan into the mansion.

Qin Xionghuang, the Duke of Qin, came to the door with a cheeky face, and he was ashamed to ask He Jingqing to make Qin Lan the king of the county, and was ridiculed and scolded by the old princess Niu and went out.

Qin Xionghuang went to ask He Dong to marry He Jingqing and Qin Lan.

He Dong saw that Qin Xionghuang was the hero of the founding of the country, and gave Qin Lan to He Jingqing as the concubine of the county king, and set up a woman from a famous family as the princess of the county.

Princess Niu didn't enter the palace for this matter. Murong Ying personally went to the palace for He Dong to accompany Princess Niu. The old princess Niu was discouraged.

Originally, this was supposed to be the end of the matter.

Who knew that a few months ago, the Guogong Mansion actually let Qin Lan go to Tanzhou to play, and after walking for more than a month, the person did not come back, and the notoriety of being ambiguous with He Jingsheng and accepting bribes under the banner of He Jingqing spread to Chang'an.

The old princess Niu was so angry that she fell ill, and this time even Murong Ying hid and disappeared, and went directly to the other courtyard in the county town.

Qin Xionghuang treated her second uncle's family like this, let alone her, since she was born, she begged her to marry her eldest grandson Qin Pukang, who was five years older than her.

Qin Pukang's character is good, his martial arts are strong among the peers of the famous Gaomen in Chang'an City, he was a talent last year, and his knowledge is not bad, but his face is as black as charcoal, his body is fat, and he is only better than a pig if it is ugly.

Her dignified princess, although she does not have the appearance of a shy flower in the closed moon, she looks quite middle-class among the young ladies of the same age in the high gate.

Qin Xionghuang actually wanted her to marry Qin Pukang, and once even took advantage of He Dong's drunkenness at a banquet to ask for marriage in front of many people.

She was so angry that she left the table on the spot, and was ridiculed by the princess sisters born to several concubines afterwards.

This incident made her disgusted the Qin family even more than the previous one.

Mingzhu continued: "A few years ago, the slave maid once overheard the eldest lady of the Qin family telling the queen mother that the second lady of Qin was injured during childbirth and would not get pregnant again. The queen mother gave the second lady Qin medicinal herbs, and also hinted that the Qin family should be considerate of the second lady Qin and not embarrass her on the heir. ”

He Yiyun said: "The queen mother respects Second Lady Qin's talent and learning, and treats her differently. ”

There are often several books on the desk of her mother Murong Ying, and one book is always on the table, which is He Huishu's poetry collection.

She has read He Huishu's poems, which are full of vicissitudes, not like poems made by young women, these poems that have been praised by many celebrities, she can't resonate with them when she is too young.

Mingzhu couldn't see through it, so she could only say bluntly: "Princess, Second Lady Qin is a barren person, but this time she is pregnant." The slave maid listened to the tone of the young master of the Qin family, it was the medicine of the county lord of Jing County that cured the stubborn illness of the second lady of Qin. ”

He Yiyun smiled: "This can confirm Xiao Jingniang's superb medicinal skills." Tomorrow, I wrote about it in the letter and told my mother. ”

Yinzhu walked over and squatted down, looked at He Yiyun, who was innocent with blue eyes, and said softly: "Princess, what Mingzhu and the slave mean is that the queen mother was also injured during childbirth and couldn't get pregnant at all. ”

He Yiyun sat up and said hurriedly: "I'm really confused, why didn't I think of this." ”

Yesterday, Deng Ying asked Li Jingjing for medicine, and asked for so much, everyone in the family asked for it.

She wanted to give some to her father and mother, but when she thought that the medicine used by her father and queen mother was all handmade by Li Jingjing's master, the medicine god Chi Lingzi, she dispelled this idea.

Mingzhu took the clothes and put them on He Yiyun, and said softly: "Princess, you are not confused, you are thinking about the prince's affairs, and you don't have the heart to think about anything else." ”

He Yiyun's face was full of chagrin and self-blame, but he never complained about the two palace maids, and said: "I will tell the imperial uncle tomorrow morning that I will return to Tanzhou to find Xiaojing Niang and ask for medicine for my mother." ”

"Princess, the slave has a suggestion for this matter." Mingzhu said in a low voice: "The slave maid gave the queen mother a pulse, and she knew the mother's physical condition, so it was better for the slave and maid to return to Tanzhou and tell the Lord of Jing County about it, if there is medicine, take it back, and forget it if you don't have it." ”

Yinzhu held He Yiyun's little hand and said softly: "Princess, Mingzhu and the slave maid have not talked about this matter in the Li family, because they think that you are not married and it is not suitable to talk about it." Although the county lord of Jing County is not married, he is less than seven years old and is just a child, so it doesn't hurt for Mingzhu to tell her about it. ”

"The queen mother is a daughter, and whatever disease she suffers from is a secret in the palace. It's not the same as the slave saying it. Mingzhu continued: "If the slave maid says it, it will spread in the future, and no one will believe that the reputation of the queen mother will not be damaged because of this." ”

"It's about the reputation of the queen mother, and we can't say anything recklessly." He Yiyun closed her eyes and thought about it, opened her eyes for a while, and said, "Mingzhu, you and Xiaojing Niang are said to be one of my relatives." ”

Mingzhu praised: "It's still our princess who thinks thoughtfully." ”

Early the next morning, He Yiyun asked Wang Zhi to send four Imperial Forest Army to escort Mingzhu to Tanzhou. The motorcade was waiting at the Chengfu Post Station in front.

Let's say that the Li family was escorted by 100 personal soldiers of the Huben Army to the territory of Tanzhou, and went straight to the Sanpin Founding Marquis Mansion given by Emperor He Dong.

He Dong canonized Li Bing's official position as the first rank of Taishi, which was several levels higher than that of Cong Sanpin.

He Dong did not give the Taishi Mansion because the court regulations stipulate that the mansions of civil and military officials must be taken back with the dismissal and transfer, and the mansions of knighted officials can be lived in for generations.

Li Bing's Founding Marquis Mansion was the palace of the Hunan King of the Kai Dynasty, built between the Tanzhou Academy and the Tanzhou Qin State Mansion.

The king of Hunan has two palaces in Tanzhou. Li Bing got the main mansion of the palace, and Qin Guogong got the annex of the palace.

The main mansion of the palace was once magnificent, and the furniture and ancient trees alone were worth a lot of silver, and there were more than 1,000 antiques, but they were robbed by the rebels more than ten years ago, and they were empty inside.

The Ding Dynasty fought wars every year, and the treasury was imaginably poor.

He Dong gave Li Bing this kind of palace, which looked very atmospheric, that is, to give face to Aichen, but not to be opposed by the ministers, the best of both worlds.

Li Bing sent Li Li to the Hou Mansion in advance.

Li Yunqing got He's order to stay in the Hou Mansion for a few days, arranging furniture according to his family's preferences, etc., and thinking about making all his family members live satisfactorily.

The governor of Hunan Province, the governor of Tanzhou, Shi and others had never seen Li Bing, and when they learned that the Li family was going to move to Tanzhou, they all sent their eldest son to the Hou Mansion to send furniture, antiques, famous trees, etc., and asked Li Yunqing about when the Li family would arrive.

On this day, more than 200 officials from Hunan Province wearing light green, dark green, light crimson, dark crimson, and purple official robes gathered in front of the Founding Marquis's Mansion.

Everyone is pulling their necks and looking forward to seeing the legendary heroes of the ages who wiped out tens of thousands of Xiongnu troops with one enemy, and the mysterious figure admired by the emperor of the enemy Xiongnu Dynasty - Mr. Crouching Tiger, who was respected by the emperor in the court.

The officials waited for an hour, and they had a lot of urgency to drink soup for breakfast, and they couldn't help it, so they told the slave guarding the door of the Hou Mansion.

Among the four slaves, the middle-aged slave led by half of his left eyebrows was missing, neither humble nor arrogant, and said in a loud voice: "The eldest young master of our house has already put down his words, people have three urgency, everyone has to go to the toilet, everyone has internal urgency, please go to the toilet room in the outer courtyard of the house." ”

The eldest young master is Li Yunxiao, the son of the founding marquis, who will inherit Li Bing's throne in the future. This Hou Mansion will belong to him in many years.

The officials didn't feel embarrassed when they heard this, and they were quickly led into the mansion by two slaves, and went to the toilet room in the outer courtyard not far away to relieve their internal anxiety, and when they were comfortable, they took the opportunity to look at the Hou Mansion.

The entire Hou Mansion has just been painted with white white, with blue bricks and white walls, and gray bricks on the ground, revealing a breath of fresh air.

The main entrance of the Hou Mansion is the outer courtyard, two rows of houses facing north in the south, each row is twenty rooms, each room is a large house with six doors and nine windows, and the number of auspicious wishes is taken.

I can only see the furnishings in the living room, all the new mahogany furniture, not as valuable as the rosewood furniture, a few half-person high gold-inlaid enamel vases, blue and white porcelain vases do not look like hundreds of years of antiques, but there are dozens of years.

Luxury and wealth can never be talked about, it can only be simple and atmospheric.

The two slaves and the two slaves who were guarding the outer courtyard turned out to be physically defective.

The two elderly servants standing at the door of the reception hall were each missing a hand.

The two middle-aged slaves who were serving fruit plates in the reception hall each had one ear missing.

Compared with these four people, the four slaves with broken eyebrows and few fingers in front of the Hou Mansion are already complete people.

The Li family has three marquis and three county lords, and Li Bingguan worships the first grade of the Taishi, and his status is equal to that of the four princes.

The subordinate of the Hou Mansion turned out to be a disabled person, because Li Bing had no money, or there was a hidden secret.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, a hundred murderous steel-armored cavalry escorted six carriages galloping from the official road.

The four servants at the gate of the Hou Mansion lit the nine firecrackers tied to the bamboo poles, and the firecrackers rang loudly, deafening, and jubilant, attracting passers-by to stay and pay attention.

He Jingyan got out of the carriage one by one, personally lifted the curtain of the first carriage, helped Li Bing and Qu Shi down, and said loudly to the officials: "This is my master, Mr. Crouching Tiger, and next to my master is my master, the county lord of Qu. ”

Li Bing wears a yellow fox fur hat, a light purple cotton robe, and a dark purple belt, with a thin and tall figure, a reddish complexion, long eyebrows about to enter the sideburns, a straight nose, lips that are not thick or thin, peach blossom eyes are deep and bright, except for the slight hunchback, his appearance is outstanding, and his temperament is elegant, more like a doctor in Tanzhou Academy.

His body is much stronger than ten days ago, the disfigured skin on his face has recovered eighty percent, and in a few days, when he can run on his legs, he can stop the ant tiger regenerating bone cream and apply muscle powder to the burned skin on his body.

Qu combed his flying bun, his hair was inlaid with rubies and golden phoenix hairpins, he was wearing a long skirt of iron embroidered red cloud brocade, covered with a white fox fur shawl, and wearing an emerald gemstone gold ring on the ring finger of his right hand.

She had never seen so many officials, her eyes were on the ground, and she didn't dare to make a sound.

The officials didn't care to look at the couple carefully, and the governor of Hunan Province knelt down a few steps forward and said, "We will meet the Taishi and the county lord of Qu. ”

"Let you wait for a long time, get up quickly, and follow me and my wife into the house for a cup of tea." Li Bing's voice was calm, and he shook Qu's hand hard.

The officials hurriedly got up to get out of the way, and the governor of Hunan Province also respectfully invited Li Bing and Qu to walk over.

At this moment, a young couple came down from the second carriage.
