Chapter 7: First Encounter
Fenghua Valley is a valley on the outskirts of Beijing, backed by Yushan Mountain, full of red maples, very suitable for autumn maple appreciation!
This valley is valuable because of its unique geographical location.
There are not only red maples in autumn, but also hot springs underground, even in the cold winter, the climate is still pleasant, so the royal nobles are proud to have Zhuangzi in Maple Valley!
Soaking in the hot springs in winter while enjoying the snow on the top of Mt. Yushan is said to be the ultimate enjoyment.
It is said that the person who discovered the unique geographical environment of Fenghua Valley was Xining Bo Jiang Dayong!
Therefore, in addition to the imperial village built by Emperor Qianyuan in Fenghua Valley, the Zhuangzi of the Jiang family in Xining occupies the most extensive area and has the most advantageous geographical location, and there is no shortage of rich and noble people in the capital, but the land of Fenghua Valley is not something that can be bought with money.
The land price near Huangzhuang has been speculated to a sky-high price, even if someone pays more silver, Xiningbo will not easily sell his Zhuangzi in Fenghua Valley!
Although the Chiang family may not be able to appreciate the beautiful scenery of Fenghua Valley, not everyone can be neighbors with the emperor.
After all, before Fenghua Valley was not developed, it was just a small valley that was inhabited, and no one could have imagined that after Jiang Dayong bought most of the mountainous land, he would find underground hot springs!
Jiang Dayong was a loyal servant of the emperor, so he naturally dedicated the land with the best geographical location in Fenghua Valley to the emperor.
After Emperor Qianyuan built the imperial village, he also 'empathetic' turned a blind eye to Jiang Dayong's move to raise land prices.
The carriage traveled on a wide bluestone pavement, and the maple trees on both sides were as red as fire.
Wang Zhiyao took a deep breath, the jade mountain in the distance is quiet, silent, the red maple full of mountains is beautiful, and there are several pavilions on the mountainside that are built very well.
She turned around and smiled brightly at Jiang, "Mother, I like it here, I like it so much." ”
Fresh air, free life, at this moment, it is far more comfortable than competing with Wang Yixin and others in the Guanwen Marquis's mansion.
The corners of Jiang's mouth raised slightly, pointing to the scenery outside, burying his thoughts about Wang Yixin deep in his heart, and said with a smile: "Playful girl,"
"My mother likes it too, right?"
"Hmm."
Jiang's eyes were slightly condensed, holding his daughter's shoulder, the red maple was flying with the autumn wind, and the scenery was extremely beautiful.
"I've always wanted to walk on the path among the red maples with the fourth master, and walk hand in hand to the depths of the Jade Mountain."
Wang Zhiyao's excited expression dimmed a little, before their mother and daughter left the Hou Mansion this morning, Wang Yixin also came to see them off, although Wang Yixin was still polite and courteous, but Wang Zhiyao could see a trace of relief in his eyes and relaxed......
Without the Jiang family, Wang Yixin can pamper Wang Zhixuan's mother and daughter in the mansion without any care!
"Your father is full of arrogance, he can't accept the Zhuangzi who lives in the Jiang family." There was a hint of loss between Jiang's eyebrows, "Actually, your father is talented and capable, but he only competes among celebrities and scholars, and he never knows how to show his talent in front of the emperor, I can't talk about him...... I don't want the fourth master to complain that my career is too vulgar, I can only watch others be proud of their careers, and he is struggling for qualifications in the Hanlin Academy. ”
"Why didn't my mother say to my father, learn literature and martial arts, and sell the goods to the emperor's family?"
"Silly girl, after the Wang family is the Lang evil Wang family, they are proud, but I am afraid that the current emperor may not be able to make them surrender, the first emperor ...... That is, the founding Taizu was born as a military general. ”
A battle between the old and the new aristocracy?
Wang Zhiyao pouted secretly, if the Wang family continues to verify and beautify the genealogy from the unknown road, it will definitely be eliminated by the times in the future, and even the emperor's face will not be given.
"What about the Wang family in Wuyi Lane? Haven't you been killed by the soldiers? Wang Zhiyao looked down on the Wang family's style, "In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people!" Who knows if the Wang family is after the Lang evil royal family? ”
"Yao'er."
"Okay, even if we are the same ancestor, now the Wang family doesn't remember the lessons of the past, and blindly holds the shelf of the legacy of the scholar clan, I think...... Mother, the times are different, and only progress can make it possible to stay rich forever. ”
Wang Zhiyao leaned on Jiang's arms, knowing that it was not easy to say too much at this time, Jiang's love for Wang Yixin was deep-rooted, and if she wanted to awaken the Jiang family who was intoxicated with love, she must not take drastic medicine, and it was not something that could be done overnight.
Jiang is not a fool, as long as she understands Wang Yixin's 'hypocrisy', the strength she burst out is enough to turn the Wang family upside down!
Besides, Wang Zhiyao still has her grandfather's family to rely on, and she will help the Jiang family seek justice from Wang Yixin.
Dream ...... Wang Yixin once called Yao'er...... Wang Zhiyao clenched her fists, and she had to seek justice for Wang Zhiyao in her dreams!
The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and Jiang listened to it and said in surprise: "There are more than a hundred and ten good horses...... I didn't hear that His Majesty was in Maple Valley today. ”
"How do you know how many good horses there are in Lu Dao?"
"I have lived in the northwest with your grandfather for more than ten years, and I am used to seeing wars, these are all taught to me by your grandfather, your grandfather not only saved His Majesty three times, but also pacified the northwest for His Majesty, and a large piece of land at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains was brought back by your grandfather."
Jiang Shi was a little regretful, "If it weren't for the fact that I fell in love with your father as soon as I entered Beijing, your grandfather would be the Duke of the Kingdom now, not the current Xiningbo!" ”
"For what?"
“…… You just need to know that your grandfather is the best father and the best general! ”
Jiang Shi asked the carriage to stop on the side of the road, waiting for the horse team to pass first, Wang Zhiyao looked outside with wide eyes, to see who was such a big shelf, and at the same time kept in mind what Jiang had not finished.
The gap between the titles of duke and earl is not small, there must have been a change back then, otherwise Emperor Qianyuan would not have lowered the title of his grandfather Jiang Dayong.
The credit for saving the driver and opening up the territory is the most solid, and the rewards and punishments are clear to be worthy of the reputation of Emperor Qianyuan.
……
"Ah, is it the third young master of the Gu family?"
Jiang Shi saw the face of the leader of the horse team clearly, tilted his body and looked back, "Could it be that Your Majesty has also come to Fenghua Valley?" ”
The third young master of the Dingguo Gong Gu family?
Wang Zhiyao only felt that this title was strange and familiar.
Third Young Master Gu has a handsome face, starry eyes, and a jade face, and he is a handsome young man.
Dressed in a silver helmet and bright armor, his posture is as tall as a pine and cypress, although his facial features are not as handsome as Wang Yixin's, but the heroic spirit and bronzed skin on his body are more in line with Wang Zhiyao's aesthetics.
Mother Qi, who was riding in the same carriage, smiled playfully, "Gu Sanshao is here, and I am afraid that your majesty is only going out of Beijing." ”
"For what?"
Wang Zhiyao withdrew her gaze from Gu Sanshao, "Could it be that Gu Sanshao is the emperor's personal guard?" ”
"Miss Seven......" Mother Qi also lit the flame of gossip, especially the gossip of the third young master of the Gu family of Dingguo Gong, who couldn't finish talking for three days and three nights, "Gu Sanshao is only fifteen this year, and his current official position is the commander of the four grades, he is much higher than the official position of His Majesty's personal guards, Gu Sanshao was raised by the emperor himself...... Outside they all say ......"
"Mother Qi." Jiang shook his head disapprovingly, "Don't talk to Yao'er about these shadowless things." ”
Wang Zhiyao's eyes are full of I want to hear it, I love gossip...... Coquettishly said: "Mother." ”
Jiang Shi knocked her forehead, originally wanted to educate Wang Zhiyao to talk less about the rights and wrongs of the Gu family, and the existence of the Dingguo Mansion that no one could provoke, but seeing Gu Sanshao who was holding the reins, he wondered: "Why did he stop?" ”
