Chapter 873: An Irresistible Gift

In front of Bai Chun's eyes is a courtyard with two courtyards, although it is not as delicate and elegant as the mansion in Yangzhou, light and poetic, but under the snow, the walls and eaves built of blue bricks as a whole, coupled with the black lacquered gate, also give people a sense of stability and atmosphere.

The shadow wall after entering the gate is like the appearance of the feeling, simple and unpretentious, but also implied to be simple and desolate, and even the carved pattern is vigorous and powerful.

Stepping into the courtyard from the Hanging Flower Gate, the snowflakes were still flying, but Bai Chun's mood was extremely excited, this was the first time she had looked at everything related to Ye Qing's daily life with the eyes of an outsider.

The courtyard is empty, and there are no rockeries, gardens, etc. like in Jiangnan, and at this moment under the snow, it seems somewhat empty, and even the verandah leading to the entrance of the second courtyard on both sides looks a little deserted at the moment.

Mo Xiaobao accompanied Bai Chun and the Red Mansion, looked at Bai Chun, who was standing in front of the Hanging Flower Gate and was not in a hurry to move forward, and said with a smile: "Madame is smiling, let's ...... That one...... The adults have just moved in, so they haven't had time to renovate it, and this front yard is now me and Zhong Silkworm, Jia She, and a few brothers who planted flowers and soldiers to accompany the ......adults. ”

"It's good, it's good." Bai Chun nodded, and then walked along the verandah on the left, while looking at the wings on both sides, and walked towards the door of the second courtyard, compared to the hanging flower door of the first courtyard, the door here seems to be more elegant, but overall, it still does not depart from the uninhibited style of the north, but it matches everything in Ye Qing's daily life.

The courtyard of the second courtyard is much more spacious, looking at the main house in front and the wings on both sides, it looks clean and tidy.

Although Ye Qing is very arrogant on weekdays, he has always liked to be clean and tidy, and the pillars in the verandah are still vermilion, without any decoration.

Stepping into the room of the main room, Bai Chun instantly seemed to feel Ye Qing's breath, and he looked at the Red Mansion room by room, but he was more interested in the two rooms connected to the study and the bedroom.

The Red Mansion walked to the kang, reached out and touched the neat and smooth mattress, as well as the quilt placed at the end of the kang, and finally muttered a sentence Aren't you afraid of the cold, and continued to look around with Bai Chun.

There were a lot of paperwork placed in the study, but it was a little scattered, Bai Chun helped to clean it up, and Mo Xiaobao at the door had already begun to fill the stove in the hall with black stones, and the chimney leading to the window also began to emit thick smoke at this moment, disturbing the snowflakes falling slowly.

With the arrival of Bai Chun and the Red Mansion, Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Silkworm, and Jia She, were also deprived of the qualifications to continue to live in the east and west wings in the backyard.

After all, before Bai Chun and the Red Mansion came to the future, Ye Qing was the only one living in the entire backyard, and he seemed extremely lonely, so the wing room of that thing was assigned by Ye Qing to Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Silkworm, and Jia She, and the front yard was guarded by more than a dozen soldiers of the Flower Plantation Army.

Bai Chun and the Red Mansion stood at the door, the thick curtain was lifted in a corner, and the cold wind was allowed to pour into the room, putting the so-called stench that Lord Ye could smell even if he was gone.

The stove behind him exuded warmth, the teapot on it sizzled, the chairs on both sides had cushions, and the table top seemed very clean.

Mo Xiaobao outside had already begun to greet a few soldiers, and began to move his luggage with Jia She, Zhong Silkworm to the front yard, and Bai Chun and the Red Mansion watched quietly through the corner of the curtain filled with cold wind.

It wasn't until they moved out and cleaned up that the two girls began to let Mo Xiaobao and others move the big bags they brought from Lin'an to the backyard, and then they first started to renovate and decorate the entire main house.

On the other hand, Ye Qing had just personally led King Qing and Duke Chongguo to visit each other's mansions at this time, compared to Ye Qing's mansions with two courtyards, Zhao Shichun's mansion had reached the scale of the four courtyards, and the scale of King Qing had reached the size of the five courtyards.

But Zhao Kai and Zhao Shichun looked at Ye Qing's solemn mansion for them, and the expressions on their faces became more and more solemn, from which they could naturally perceive that Ye Qing's determination to keep them here for a long time could be described as ...... It's rock solid.

And giving them such a big mansion obviously won't mean that they live alone, I'm afraid this is a hint that they want to take their families over.

As soon as he stepped out of the gate of the mansion and stood on the snowy street, Yu Yunwen ran over cautiously and handed a secret letter to Ye Qing.

"Hot Gongji can't wait to negotiate with you, Li Heng is now rampaging in Xia Kingdom, and Hot Gongji even wants to talk, how is it good?" Yu Yunwen's face was full of smiles, at the beginning, Hot Gongji was desperate to break Ye Qing's body into ten thousand pieces, but now with the loss of Guanshan, the whole person was instantly in a passive beating situation, which made Hot Gongji already worried in less than a month, as if he had aged ten years all of a sudden.

Relying on the fortress of Guanshan, the 20,000 troops led by Li Heng had to go out to fight the autumn wind almost every day, especially when they encountered the troops of the Xia people, they would fight without saying a word, and once they felt that the Xia people were not good to fight, Li Heng did not love to fight, and immediately led the army to retreat back to Guguan in an orderly manner.

The Xia people also wanted to recapture Guguan in a short period of time, but the Song people had just captured Guguan, and now it was snowing heavily, and they wanted to gather overwhelming troops to tackle key problems.

Ye Qing casually glanced at Zhao Kai and Zhao Shichun, and then asked instead of answering, "What's going on with King Wei Shao?" Did Yan Jing send a letter? ”

"It's hard to get the snow on the mountain...... I'm afraid that King Wei Shao and that Li Xiang will have to spend the first day in Jingzhao Mansion, and now it is the middle of November, and the time will be faster after entering the lunar month. Yu Yunwen said with a smile.

"Then don't pay attention to it, at night for King Qing and Chongguo Gong to pick up the wind and wash the dust, and call King Wei Shao and Li Xiang to cheer us up." Ye Qing said lightly, ignoring the fact that in a short period of time, a thin layer of snowflakes had fallen on his body.

Now in Jingzhao Mansion, almost all of them have the final say, so if he insists on standing on the street in the snow to talk about things, the rest of the people can only silently accompany him to "enjoy the snow", no one dares to disobey Ye Qing's intentions, let's go to the eaves to avoid the snow and talk about things.

Yu Yunwen nodded, which can be regarded as responding to Ye Qing's words, after all, for so many years, when will the Song people be able to arbitrarily instruct the Jin envoys like today? And let them accompany and cheer up!

handed the two documents to Ye Qing again, and Yu Yunwen said goodbye to Ye Qing and the others and arranged for other things.

Ye Qing turned his head, holding the two documents in his hand, looked at Zhao Kai and Zhao Shichun who were standing in the snow with him, and said with a smile: "King Qing and Chongguo Gong will rest first, and then send someone to pick you up in the evening." This is the list of compensation for the Jin people, King Qing and Chongguo Gong first look at it, if there is anything wrong and not worried, King Qing and Chongguo Gong may wish to write it directly on it, and then hand it over to the Jin people at today's dinner. ”

Listening to the conversation between Yu Yunwen and Ye Qing just now, even if Zhao Kai and Zhao Shichun didn't understand the ins and outs of the matter, they could still feel that now in the three-acre land of Jingzhao Mansion, or in this place where the three kingdoms of Jin, Xia, and Song border, it seems that Ye Qing is the boss who has the final say.

King Qing also had a lot of doubts in his heart at this time, as many as he was worried after he arrived at Jingzhao Mansion, and he couldn't help but ask, "Lord Ye is still at war with the Xia people?" You are not afraid of the golden people...... Will this be a two-sided enemy? ”

"It's not a war, at most, it's a matter of collecting some interest from me a few days ago, if you don't be tough with them like this, when the time comes to talk about compensation, they won't show sincerity." As for the Jin people, they are now also negotiating compensation ....... Ye Qingha said hotly.

"This ......." Zhao Shichun took the document that Ye Qing had just handed him and King Qing, and before he had time to open it, he first glanced at the cover and asked with some hesitation: "Is this ...... This won't be for the golden man to give...... Give us compensation, right? ”

"The days of the Great Song Dynasty compensating the Jin people are gone, naturally the Jin people will compensate us, Wanyan Yongji, and there is a father-in-law of Wanyan Jing, who came here this time to take the initiative to negotiate peace." Ye Qing said lightly.

But this simple sentence turned over in the hearts of Zhao Shichun and Zhao Kai, although they just vaguely felt that the list that Ye Qing handed over to the two of them was a list for the Jin people to compensate Ye Qing, but they only felt a little excited, after all, Ye Qing had never said it very clearly.

And at this moment, Ye Qing had already said it clearly, and instantly made Zhao Shichun and Zhao Kai feel like they had stepped into another world, another world of laws, such a thing completely subverted their cognition from childhood to adulthood, and it was hard for them to believe that one day, the Jin people would also take the initiative to negotiate peace with the Song people and compensate.

Holding some trembling paperwork in his hand, after Ye Qing told them that the mansion where he lived was only two squares away from them, he smiled and waved away.

Watching the figures of Ye Qing and the others disappear around the corner of the snow, Zhao Kai and King Qing looked down at the documents in their hands at the same time, outside the two adjacent mansions, there were several soldiers of Jingzhao Mansion who did not move at all, and in the mansions of the two, they were all subordinates and maids invited for the two of them from Chang'an City.

Naturally, when the two of them came to Jingzhao Mansion this time, they also brought their own people, and they also brought some gold and silver, so the big and small things in the mansion naturally didn't need the two of them to worry about.

After asking a little unfamiliar where the subordinate's study was, Zhao Kai and Zhao Shichun followed the subordinate side by side to the study.

The study room heated by the stove was clean and tidy, and after waving his hand to let the subordinates go down, the two of them sat down separately, and then they couldn't wait to open the so-called list that Ye Qing had just handed over to them.

The words 20,000 taels of gold and 150,000 taels of silver made them feel as if they had been punched in the face, and they lost their thinking in their minds, but they looked at the words in a hurry, their hands trembled more and more, and the sound of the paper shaking was clearly audible.

For them, this is definitely a thing that makes them proud and full of shame, and what makes them even more excited, and even crazy in their hearts, and they can't help but want to exhale out loud is that the royal items listed on the list, rare treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc., every name is so familiar, and every name is like a symbol of the royal family, which makes them feel cordial and heartache.

The breathing of the two people involuntarily became more and more rapid, they could imagine that once Ye Qing and the Jin people reached an agreement, if these things were returned by the Jin people, then in Lin'an, in the court, and in the royal family, it would be like an earthquake that shook people's hearts, and it would also make the spirits of the people of the entire Southern Song Dynasty lift!

And the more they looked down, the more their hearts trembled, especially the paragraph marked at the end, after the two names of the negotiators of this compensation and gold: Qingwang Zhao Kai and Chongguo Gong Zhao Shichun entered their eyes, the two of them instantly felt like fainting.

Naturally, they also understood that this was Ye Qing's gift to them to come to Jingzhao Mansion, one that they couldn't refuse, and an excellent gift that allowed them to be a royal family member with their own hands, a shame!
