Sima Yulou and Jin Yi walked all the way along the bluestone road outside Qinxin Building, and saw Yunhui coming back from the former mansion. Seeing the two coming hand in hand, Yun Hui's thick eyebrows tightened, snorted heavily, and turned her head to go around the other way.

Jin Yi only glanced at that place, and the corners of her lips were still crooked and smiling, not at all concerned. Sima Yulou also smiled, didn't say anything, and walked forward with her.

The establishment of the palace is more than twice as large as the Qingrong Marquis Mansion, the sixteen pavilions and pavilions in the front of the palace, the main hall Tiger Roaring Hall standing in front is a two-storey hall and pavilion, the momentum is majestic and solemn.

The rest are all courtyards with one or two entrances, except for the residence of guests, they are idle on weekdays, and only the people who take care of the cleaning are left in the courtyard.

The highest is the wind and rain building where Sima Yulou used to live, in front of the building is a wide school field, and there are weapon shelves, stone piers, stone locks and other things on both sides. There are also several terraced houses and fine houses on both sides of the school field, and from time to time people walk out of the inside, walk through the school field, and enter the wind and rain building.

Sima Yulou didn't take Jinyi over, but just pointed out to her from afar, "There are staff members living in the house over there, who used to help me take care of the affairs of the palace property, and my mother said that you will take care of these public properties in the future." ”

Jin Yi didn't feel surprised, although the concubine now entrusted Yunhui to take care of the family affairs, but after all, she is a daughter who married out, and it is not easy for her to take care of the public property, "After that, I read the account books and showed them to my mother." ”

Sima Yulou shook his head, "Mother didn't care about these things before, just look at it." ”

Jin Yi let out an "oh" and didn't say anything more.

Sima Yulou said again: "I have asked the emperor for an order to appoint Yishantang to come forward to negotiate trade matters with merchants in the Western Regions, and there will be more contacts with Yishantang in the future, and you don't have to hide your eyes and ears when you meet Uncle Cheng." ”

Jin Yi nodded, remembering Uncle Cheng's words last time, and asked, "Do you know about the martial arts?" ”

Sima Yulou raised his eyebrows, "Everyone in the world knows that the people of Yishantang are good at business and wealth, and there are often families who hire them back to be the stewards of the house, or the treasurer of the industry. But over the years, there has been no such thing as a martial artist, and only some cultivation and training methods have been handed down. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the townhouse next to the wind and rain building, "There are guards of the palace who live there, all of them are private soldiers left by my father, although there are not many people, but all of them are good hands." The chief of the guard is called Xiahou Yi, and he is the Wu Xuan. He had trained the guards himself. ”

He paused for a long time and said slowly: "Back then, my father got a group of martial artists from Mr. Ji, and in the name of Yishantang, they were recommended to the side of the military officials of the DPRK and China as guards. It was with the support of these people that my father finally helped the emperor overthrow the former prince and win the throne. ”

Jin Yi suddenly realized that it was no wonder that King Chuchen back then was able to establish his prestige in the army with just a casual prince.

"My father has an open-minded temperament, and the military officials in the court are willing to be close to him, and Zhongyi Gong had a good friendship with him back then, and at that time Zhenguo Gong had not yet entered Zhongshu Province, and his prestige was far inferior to that of Zhongyi Gong and his father." Sima Yulou said.

Jin Yi nodded, "No wonder Zhen Guogong is jealous of you now." ”

Sima Yulou smiled calmly: "Grandpa is old, and now Zhenguo Gong has the highest prestige in the army, he is naturally afraid that someone will miss the old feelings and tend to me, but now that there is a right minister fighting with him, I am afraid that he has no time to scruple about me." ”

"What happened to those Martial Masters now?"

"Since the emperor ascended the throne, this group of people has not moved, and now the times have changed, and there is no trace of them."

Jin Yi frowned, he thought that Mr. Ji was just a Jianghu person, but he didn't know that he had such a deep relationship with the old King Chuchen, and the martial artist he cultivated single-handedly was able to influence the court back then, thinking about his cold and indifferent temperament, but he took care of himself a lot, and faintly felt that he was more and more unfathomable.

Sima Yulou gently brushed a strand of hair from her ear, and said with a smile: "I just want to explain these things to you first, now that the two sides of Zhenguo Gong and the Right Prime Minister have a lot of disputes, I want to stay out of the way for the time being, and the matter of the Western Regions Business Road is the best excuse." ”

He remembered the words of the right minister that day, and smiled indifferently: "I'm afraid that in the future, the ladies of the southern family will deliberately get close to you, and the right minister will use these means to maintain the balance between the north and the south." However, the Duke of Zhenguo must not want the Chuchen Mansion to sit big again, and you have to guard against the people of the Huan family in the future. …… Although I am relieved of your methods, you still have to be careful, when you go out in the future, there will be guards to follow you, and listening to the rain will also hide in the dark to protect you. ”

Hearing him say that he was going to arrange guards for himself, Jin Yi was a little surprised, "Listen to the rain or follow you, I'm just going out to participate in a banquet or something, what danger will there be." Since Zhenguo Gong is suspicious of you now, you have to pay more attention to safety. ”

Sima Yulou stared at her for a long time before he said, "If you hadn't listened to the rain and followed you in the Wang family last time, if I came back one step later, you would have fallen into Ma Canli's miscellaneous trap." I asked Tingyu to hand over the carrier pigeon to Qian Mo, and you have never used it. Now it's not as good as before, what you did was just an intrigue behind closed doors in the Qingrong Marquis Mansion. …… In the future, you can't go your own way, you have to discuss everything with me. ”

Jin Yi pursed her lips, "I see." ”

Sima Yulou laughed gently, "Just to remind you, don't be afraid, I have everything for me." ”

Jin Yi whispered dissatisfiedly: "I'm not afraid, I have learned strategy from Mr. Ji for three years, but I am not a powerless woman in the inner house, you are not allowed to underestimate me." ”

Sima Yulou smiled, his words were full of doting, "How dare I underestimate you, I just can't allow you to suffer the slightest grievance." ”

Jin Yi stubbornly clenched his hand firmly, but his heart was as sweet and soft as a marshmallow.

The two left the wind and rain building, and after walking for a while, Jin Yi suddenly asked, "Why do you worship under Mr. Ji's door?" ”

Sima Yulou smiled, remembered for a long time, and then said: "It was ten years ago, I followed my father to Shuzhong to travel, and he went to Meiju to visit Mr. Ji. Later, he accepted me as a disciple and stayed there for more than a year, and it was not long after he met you that Mr. Ji sent someone to send me back to Jianye, when I was only ten years old.

After my father died, I lived in Mei for a few years, and learned a lot from Mr. Ji, and then he kicked me out and let me go to the rivers and lakes by myself, and the 'One Night Wind and Rain' was built at that time,......" Speaking of this, he laughed self-deprecatingly, "Those years were very interesting, and I realized why my father didn't even do the prince back then, and wanted to mingle in the market."
