Chang Mu said: "Why were you so careless at that time, you almost fell in love with Concubine Lu's Tao at that time. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Yun Xi replied: "Grandmother, I couldn't help it at that time. My mother has been dead for too long, and the Wenhua Hall is full of Concubine Lu's people inside and out, and she is also quite skillful, so it is difficult for me to inquire about the situation of Wenyuan Pavilion. When I left the palace, there were only the guards assigned to me by the emperor's grandfather. ”

Chang Mu asked: "Your situation is better now, there are 10,000 stone of Yulu (Note 1) every year, and Concubine Lu and the others have also moved out of Wenyuan Pavilion, and no one can hinder you." ”

Yun Xi said: "What is enough to do with 10,000 stone taels a year!" There are only more than 800 stones per month, and there are no less than 100 eunuchs of all sizes in the Wenhua Palace, and they need to be rewarded for their merits; There are also dozens of guards outside the palace, and they need to be appreciated for what they do well. Fortunately, the food and clothing are all from the palace, otherwise I would have been hungry without the emperor's grandfather's gift. ”

Chang Mu said: "How can it be done, you don't have the Huangzhuang now, and you have no other income." Chang Sen has a Zhuangzi outside the southern city of the capital, which is not big, but it is 3,000 acres of land, and the grain just laid is still in the Zhuangzi, so I will give you the income of this Zhuangzi first. ”

Yun Xi said that he didn't have enough money to spend, he really didn't ask the Chang family for money, he really just talked casually, and then wanted to ask the Chang family for a few craftsmen or something, and then asked for a small courtyard that was more remote for experiments. These things are not good to ask Lao Zhu for.

And at this time, the scene when Chang's mother wanted to give him money reminded him of the scene when Lin Daiyu first entered Jiafu. Although the actual situation is very different, he is now the strong party, not Lin Daiyu, who has just entered Jiafu and thinks that his food and clothing are provided by Jiafu and is careful everywhere, but Yun Xi still has a sense of immediacy.

So Yun Xi said: "Then how can you use the things of my grandfather's family." ”

Chang's mother had expected him to ask this question, and replied with a smile: "Aren't the things of our Chang family also rewarded by His Majesty; Besides, if it is an ordinary family, the girl has to marry with a dowry, you should be regarded as the dowry left by your mother to your mother. Seeing that Yunxi was still a little hesitant, he continued: "If you become the emperor in the future, you can still miss the Chang family, so you should borrow it in advance." ”

Yun Xi is not a hypocritical person, since the other party is determined to give it, there will be no one from the 'Discipline Inspection Commission' to investigate his corruption and bribery, so he will ask for it.

Seeing that he asked for Zhuangzi, Chang's mother soothed her expression slightly, and said, "Now you won't be short of money to spend." He also said: "A military academy will be established at the beginning of next year, and Your Majesty will definitely let you prepare it." ”

Yun Xi felt that this topic was a bit jumpy, but he still replied: "Grandpa Huang should let me lead this matter." ”

Chang Mu said: "Then do you know the various factions in this army? Who has a good relationship with whom? Who's against whom? Although His Majesty is wise and martial, after all, he has been in the top position for a long time, and he may not understand the actual situation below. ”

When Yun Xi heard her say this, he knew that he wanted to show the value of the Chang family, and told Yun Xi that the Chang family was a powerful family that had been in the army for a long time, not just a grandfather's family or a family that only contributed money.

Yun Xi also wanted to know more about the things in the Ming Army now, so he followed her and said, "Then grandmother, you know these things." After all, my grandfather was a great hero of my Ming Dynasty, and my eldest uncle and second uncle have also been in the army for 20 years. ”

Chang's mother's answer was not Yun Xi's expectation: "Sheng'er is about to go to Sanjin to train the army, and there is no time; Although Sen'er is not a weapon, he is good at making friends and is familiar with most of the people in the army. When you are free, you can come to the house to ask Chang Sen. But now," she said, looking sideways at the unopened window, "it's almost noon, so let's set the table first, and you can't go back without eating when you come to your grandfather's house." ”

Yun Xi also looked sideways at the window when he heard this, but there was too little sunlight that could penetrate through the window paper, and Yun Xi had no way to judge the time. He was still very uncomfortable with the fact that there was no glass, and that the room was very dark, and that he was not used to lighting candles in the daytime, so he now had a desk in his dormitory by the window, and when he was studying in his dormitory, he always had the window open and the stove burning. It's like a modern person with an air conditioner on and a quilt.

But since Chang's mother said so, he also went out of the house. was about to find Chang Jizong to go back to the front hall together, Chang Jizong appeared quietly, and then the two pretended to have a good chat and went out of the house to go back to the front hall. Chang's mother went out through another hidden exit.

Then everyone had a lively meal, and Hu and Wu persuaded Yunxi to eat more. The Chang family's lunch this time was also very attentive, there were many dishes that Yunxi had never eaten, and there were many dishes that he had never heard of in his two lives, so he also ate a lot.

After eating, Yun Xi just took a short break and went back to the palace. He has a heavy study task every day, and he doesn't always have time to stay at Chang's house, even if he comes to Chang Sen to ask about things in the army in the future, he can't stay for half a day, he can only go out to do errands and come by the way.

After sending Yunxi out of the door, Chang Mu, Chang Sheng, and Chang Sen gathered in Chang Mu's courtyard again. Without waiting to sit down, Chang Sen asked, "How is it, does Yun Xi still have feelings for our family?" It's not just about using our Chang family. Chang Sheng also looked at Chang Mu with burning eyes.

Chang's mother waited for her to sit down, took another sip of tea, and then said: "I mentioned Zhu Biao and Min'er (Chang Fei's name), Yunxi still has a lot of feelings for Min'er in my opinion, and she cried when she called me 'grandmother', and she is not without feelings for the Chang family." It's impossible for a teenager to fool me into getting eyes. ”

Chang Sen exhaled and said with a smile: "That's really good, our family didn't marry the eldest sister into the palace for nothing." ”

Chang Sheng said: "What is called 'marrying the eldest sister into the palace in vain'! You ......"

Chang's mother saw that they had a tendency to quarrel again, so she hurriedly interrupted: "Don't talk about it." Then he pointed at Chang Sheng and said: "You are going to Sanjin to train tomorrow, work under Feng Sheng, ask more questions if you don't understand, and be diligent." "Always rise to promise.

He pointed at Chang Sen and said, "Don't be idle, work hard in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, don't be a fool all day long." Chang Sen didn't dare to refute his mother's words, so he could only promise.

"Also, the men in our house, together with the men of Jizong's house in the north of the city, no matter whose son, whose brother, or who pleads with you, will be beaten with forty boards and expelled from the Changfu."

Chang Sheng asked, "Why is that?" If one person makes a mistake, it won't affect everyone. ”

Chang's mother told the two of them what Yunxi told him, and Chang Sheng knew how wrong they were, and he was peaceful, and said: "I have repeatedly told them that they are still like this, and my mother is punishing them right, and I must not spare them." Chang Sen said even more viciously: "If you kill them directly, why do you want to leave them alive." ”

Chang's mother said: "Now that there are few people in the Ming Dynasty, there are many people, and they kill people without authorization, even if they are their own subordinates, it is not good, just find a reason to send them to the government and let them distribute Liaodong." "Chang Sheng, Chang Sen promised.

Then Chang Mu said tiredly: "That's it, I'm also tired, you all go down." "It's also a lot of brains to talk to Yoon-hee today.

Chang Sheng and Chang Sen also knew that their mother was very tired, so they bowed and retreated.
