Chapter 204: Talking Outside the Door
Xiao Ding and Song Yinzi asked for a large table of dishes in the "One Step of Fresh People" restaurant, chatting while eating and drinking. During the banquet, Xiao Ding told King Mu about the letter he had found in the morning, and King Mu told the emperor.
Unexpectedly, Song Yinzi said that he had also mentioned the expansion of the army of the king of Jiaozhou before, but the emperor did not believe that the king of Jiaozhou would raise an army to rebel.
As soon as Xiao Ding heard this, he didn't say anything more, and said in his heart, anyway, it's your Song family's country, you all care about yourself, why should I follow my blind heart!
Through chatting with Song Yinzi, Xiao Ding also knew that the two people who were above the court that day and prevented the emperor from sealing his official position turned out to be Prime Minister Zhao Shisun and Taiwei Gao Geyu.
After lunch, the two returned to the mansion and saw that the people were preparing to change the plaque at the door.
After King Mu returned home yesterday, he sent someone to the plaque shop to arrange for a new plaque. Unexpectedly, the speed of this shop is still fast, and from last night to today, it will be delivered at noon.
Xiao Ding looked at the big words "Pingxi General's Mansion" on the plaque, and he was also very happy.
Hang this plaque, this house will not be the Ministry of War Shangshu Mansion in the future, of course I am happy in my heart.
The two commanded the subordinates, hung the plaque, and then walked into the courtyard.
When he arrived in the living room of the main room, Xiao Ding found the wooden box that contained the letter in the morning and handed it to Song Yinzi.
Song Yinzi opened the letter and glanced at it, and said, "It is indeed the handwriting written by my fourth uncle." "It seems that he is still more familiar with the king of Jiaozhou.

The two chatted in the house for a while, and King Mu returned home with a letter, and he had to go to the palace to tell the emperor about it.
Xiao Ding didn't stay long, and sent Mu Wang Song Yinzi out of the door.
Song Yinzi repeatedly told him that if there was something to do, he told the guards he left behind to do it, as well as the newly bought subordinates. Xiao Ding nodded in agreement.
In the morning, the house was almost cleaned up, and the items in the room were almost all taken to the street outside the gate, giving away to others, and selling at a low price.
Now, there's not much left of that.
The next step is to buy new furniture and supplies.
Xiao Ding took out a thousand taels of silver from his arms and handed it to the leader of the guards left by King Mu, and he took someone to help him purchase the items he needed. You can buy as good as you can, but if you don't have enough money, you will come back and ask him.
Xiao Ding thought that it would be a lot to take out 1,000 taels of silver to buy belongings, but he didn't expect that the head of the guard really came back to ask him for silver.
As soon as Xiao Ding asked, he realized that these guards, sure enough, everything was bought with the best things, they had lived in the palace for many years, what was good and what was not good, they had seen a lot. Therefore, when they selected items, they had already taken the shopping standards of the palace as Xiaoding's shopping standards.
Therefore, in addition to buying some furniture and daily necessities, they also went to the Jade Pavilion to order a lot of jade ornaments, so the money was not enough, so they came back to ask Xiao Ding again.
Xiao Ding had no choice but to take out another thousand taels of silver and hand it to the head of the guards.
After an afternoon of tossing, all the old items were given away or sold. The newly purchased items were also delivered. The guards and their men helped set it up.
The two thousand taels of silver were all spent, and Xiao Ding said secretly, these guards are worthy of King Mu's subordinates! This habit of spending money lavishly is exactly the same as Song Yinzi!
Looking at the jade ornaments bought by the guards in the house, Xiao Ding Xin said that it is better to keep all the jade gifts sent by King Mu before, in that case, you can also save some silver now.
It's a pity that at that time, I didn't think that the emperor would reward me with a mansion, so I lightened the burden at that time, and all those things were given to the daughters of Jinxiufang.
The gifts sent by King Mu twice, he had very little left. Only the four treasures of the jade study, Xiao Ding is impressed, but he can also take it and put it in the study to decorate the façade!
By night, the General's Mansion had basically been cleaned up.
Xiao Ding sent the guards who came to help away, and each of them rewarded a few taels of silver, which was counted as a thank you. Then he came back, and arranged the rooms and duties of these newly bought maids and servants, thinking that he still needed a housekeeper in this house to help his subordinates.
Otherwise, you have to do everything yourself, and the daily chores will be annoying.
After arranging all the things on this side of the mansion, Xiao Ding rode back to the inn.
As soon as I got up to the second floor, I saw Tinker Bell standing at the door waiting for him to come back.
"Brother Tian, you're finally back! I've been waiting for you for a long time. Tinker Bell said happily when he saw Ding.
"Little junior sister, what are you waiting for me to do? Is there something wrong? Xiao Ding asked curiously.
"Brother Tian, let me tell you good news, today my senior sister went to the Gao Wang's Mansion with gifts and the seventh senior sister to apologize. That old man Gao was really a very good talker, and when he saw that we were sincerely apologizing, he didn't pursue it. Then my senior sister proposed to borrow the soul bead from him, but I didn't expect the old prince to agree! The little sister said excitedly.
"Shhhhhhh Be quiet! Xiao Ding made a boo gesture and said. The heart said, this little girl is still inexperienced, how can anyone say that she has borrowed treasures in public? This girl is too careless! In case someone who has a heart listens to it and spreads it to the rivers and lakes, then there are a lot of people who see the treasure and think about it, and they don't come over collectively to grab the treasure?
Tinker Bell also realized that he had missed his mouth, so he quickly stuck out his tongue, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Thank you Brother Tian for reminding me, I was a little carried away just now!" ”
"You still have to pay attention in the future, this matter can't be said everywhere, if everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that the soul bead has fallen into your hands, then will you still have an child?" Xiao Ding said solemnly.
"Okay, Brother Tian, I won't say it in the future, Brother Tian, don't kill me, okay? When you speak seriously, you look so scary! Tinker Bell said timidly as he looked at Ding.
"Well, okay, I won't talk about you, you should be more cautious in the future." Xiao Ding said kindly.
"We will! Brother Tian! My senior sister said that we are all going to return to Yangzhou tomorrow, and we must go to save my master as soon as possible. Brother Tian, we are back in Yangzhou, I won't see you in the future, what should I do? Tinker Bell said worriedly.
"No, if I have the opportunity to go to Yangzhou in the future, I will go to see you." Xiao Ding comforted.
"Really? Brother Tian? Tinker asked innocently.
"Really, at the same time, I have good news for you, the emperor has rewarded me with a general's palace, which is on the main street north of the city. There is a plaque at the door, and the house with the words 'Pingxi General's Mansion' written on it is my house. In the future, when you come to Zhongzhou City, you will go to my mansion to live. Xiao Ding sincerely invited.
"That's great, Brother Tian, when we come to Zhongzhou in the future, we will go to your house to find you." Tinker Bell said happily.
"Okay, always welcome. However, I have been busy with the mansion for the last two days, and I may return to my hometown. Xiao Ding said.
"Brother Tian, where is your hometown, is it far from here?" Tinker Bell asked, looking up.
"Yuan, my hometown is in a small mountain village in Luoxia County, Yongzhou, and I haven't been home since I went to fight in the army, so I'll go back to reunite with my family as soon as I'm done here." Xiao Ding said.
"Brother Tian, will you come to Zhongzhou after you return to Yongzhou?" Tinker Bell asked with concern.
"I don't know much about this, whether I want to move to Zhongzhou or not, I still have to go back and ask my family for advice." Xiao Ding replied truthfully.
The two were standing in the doorway talking, when the door to Tinker Bell's room suddenly opened.
Xiao Ding looked at it and saw a young girl in a white Luo skirt walking out, it was the sixth senior sister who had helped heal her injuries.
"Brother Tian, little sister Xie Xiyun thank you Brother Tian for saving your life!" Sixth Senior Sister Xie Xiyun was about to bow down after saying that she was about to bow down, but Xiao Ding hurriedly stopped her and said, "Miss Xie doesn't need to be polite, I'm just raising my hands, so I don't have to take it to heart." ”
"Where is it, Brother Tian's life-saving grace, the little sister is difficult to repay, if Brother Houtian uses the little sister's place, the little sister will definitely die!" Xie Xiyun said and hugged her fists again.
"Miss Xie is so polite, if you have the opportunity to go to Yongzhou in the future, you must go to Luoxia Village in Luoxia County to find me. Of course, you Zhongzhou City can also go to my mansion, and I will instruct the people in my mansion to receive you well. Xiao Ding also began to be polite.
At this moment, another voice suddenly came into the ears of several people, "I said, what are you guys talking about standing at the door?" Why don't you come into the house and talk? ”
