"Auntie, good morning!"

"Well, good morning. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "The lady on the cake stall was busy putting the rolled dough into the pot, although she was too busy to care about who the person who spoke was, but she was still used to replying.

When the dough is put into the pot, it makes a "sizzle" sound, and slowly becomes browned, with a burst of wheat fragrance.

The eldest lady wiped the fine beads of sweat on her forehead with a towel and exhaled gently, looking pleasant and relaxed.

Looking up, he smiled and said, "Young man, are you here to buy baked cakes?" Then you'll have to wait a while, now the pancakes are just out of the pot, but they will be ready soon, you can sit down for a while. ”

Pointing to the pergola behind her, there were a few stools scattered around, the table looked a little old, the edges of the corners were still a little worn, but the table top was polished and shiny, and it looked clean.

"Auntie, I'm not here to buy baked cakes, I'm here to repay you for the baked cakes."

Mo Qian smiled and said, of course he has no money, these are all filial piety from the people below.

Mo Qian, who has been polished in the university and society, naturally knows the truth of communicating with others, as the so-called gentleman is harmonious but different, and villains are the same but not harmonious, this sentence is not necessarily true, but it does have a certain truth.

Mo Qian doesn't think he is a gentleman, but there are some etiquettes that are essential in his dealings with people, and people who follow the crowd too much are not worthy of attention, but those who are too arrogant are also unlikable.

accepted gifts from others, which also shows to a certain extent that everyone is of the same heart in a yamen as a whole, as long as they are not too angry, Mo Qian will not let go of such an opportunity.

"Huh?" The eldest lady looked at Mo Qian and looked surprised, and suddenly remembered that this voice was a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.

"Hey, you're the guy from yesterday, change your clothes and fix it, you're more energetic than yesterday." The eldest lady seemed very talkative, and while turning over the baked cakes in the pot, she continued to ask, "Have you found a job?" ”

Mo Qian scratched the back of his head, "Well, my uncle is on an errand in the yamen, and he helped me find a job in the yamen, don't I come to thank you." ”

The eldest lady waved her hand, "Hey, it's just a matter of baking cakes, thank you." ”

Mo Qian said, "Receiving the grace of people's dripping water, since the spring reciprocates, although you don't take the gift of cakes to heart, I can't help but remember it." ”

The eldest lady looked very indifferent, "Young man, who hasn't received a few favors from others, who hasn't helped others a few times, if you are always so careful, and you want to repay if you help, then you will be too tired to live, haha." ”

Mo Qian smiled, "Haha, then I'm not hypocritical, my uncle asked me to come out and buy two baked cakes." Mo Qian took out two copper plates from his pocket and handed them to the eldest lady, "He also specially."

He asked me to buy it at the intersection, and he said he liked it very much. ”

The eldest lady smiled: "Really? That's great, and the reliable officials will be more helpful in the future. Ma Li wrapped the baked cake and handed it to Mo Qian.

At this time, a man who was about thirty years old walked over, "Aunt Liu, bring me two baked cakes." ”

Aunt Liu responded, "Hey, okay." Wrapping up the baked cakes and saying, "Changgui, I got up early today, are you going to help Master Ma?" ”

The young man called Changgui said with a sad face, "Aunt Liu, you also know that Master Ma is doing stone carving work, which is also used for red and white ceremonies, where are so many people want stone carvings on weekdays, I got up so early to see if there is anyone in need, so as to earn a few copper plates to support my family." ”

Mo Qian sighed a little, some things are the same no matter where they are, there are always people who have to work hard for life, and there are always people who stand at the top of the pyramid, stretching out their hands to eat and open their mouths, but they still have to reach out to snatch a little hard-won harvest from the people at the bottom.

Aunt Liu didn't say anything, she couldn't help with these things, everyone was just supporting their families.

Just as Changgui was about to leave, Mo Qian said, "It just so happens that I need someone to come here, I wonder if Brother Changgui is willing to come and help?" ”

Changgui's eyes lit up, "This little brother, do you have any work to do?" I'm not afraid of hardship. ”

"It's not hard work, I just don't know if you're familiar with the neighborhood?"

"I've grown up here, so I'm not familiar with it." "That's great, I'm new here, and I'm worried that I'm not familiar with this place, so let's give you fifty yuan, can you take me around here?"

Changgui hurriedly shook his head, this is too much, it won't cost fifty yuan. Mo Qian actually doesn't know much about the price situation in this world, a thousand yuan can be exchanged for one tael of silver, ten taels of silver can be exchanged for one or two gold, and ordinary people's daily work is less than a hundred yuan, this is still hard work, let alone just taking people to walk around.

I couldn't help but take out a money bag from my arms, and just fifty yuan was stuffed into Changgui's hand, "Okay, you can take me around quickly, this is the task my uncle gave me, if I can't complete the task today, then I will be hit by the board, and you don't want me to be hit by the board." Mo Qian said with a smile.

Of course, Changgui could see that Mo Qian was joking, but he was really a little guilty about charging fifty yuan for nothing, for him, if he was free, he didn't want money, and it didn't matter if he took Mo Qian for a casual stroll.

In fact, in his previous life, Mo Qian was always nostalgic for the past, or nostalgic for the countryside, and always said that the human touch in the past was stronger than the cold interpersonal contacts in the city.

In fact, in such a rural society, everyone has long been connected as a whole, the circle is so big, everyone has such a consciousness, when others are in trouble, you don't help others, so when you need help, who will help you?

On the other hand, in modern society, egoism and money worship are prevalent, although there is nothing wrong with pursuing a better life, but life is like this, won't it be too boring?

In the capital, Taiji Palace, a richly dressed man sits alone on a carved wooden chair, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, it is the age of young and vigorous, but people look at it, but they feel majestic and calm, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, face like a knife cut stone carving, sharp edges and corners, quite a kind of style of looking down on the world. This person is the new monarch of Great Qi, Jiang Yang.

Looking at the watch in his hand, his face was uncertain, sometimes the sun was shining, sometimes it was cloudy.

It wasn't until he finished reading the last paragraph of text that his face became a little playful: "Mo Qian? Huang Chen, the son of Huang Huaiqi, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, injured Huang Chen because of a Qinglou woman who was jealous of the wind and injured Huang Chen, Huang Huaiqi played to the first emperor and asked for severe punishment, and the first emperor punished his young and frivolous, and in a fit of anger, he changed the first place in his palace test to the second fifteenth, and went to Ningyuan County to serve as the county commander, as if exiled. ”

After reading the content of the recital, he laughed first, "The first emperor really played a good chess hand, no wonder so many imperial uncles couldn't fight when they joined forces back then." ”

This Jiangyang Emperor has been living in intrigue and intrigue all the time since he was born, the power struggle under the inner court, the prince's seizure of the heir, nothing has been experienced, so many years of strategizing, creating Jiangyang Wenzhi martial arts conspiracy and power in one, such a derogatory reckage, in the eyes of outsiders, it is very common, but in the eyes of Jiangyang, the meaning of the first emperor could not be more obvious.

Mo Qian? It's kind of interesting.

Suddenly I remembered something, turned my head and asked,

"Tianxuan, I remember that you haven't been in the palace for a month, but what are you going to do?" There was no one else in the hall but him, and it was as if he were talking to himself.

But what is amazing is that in the corner of the wall, which was originally empty, a figure slowly appeared, dressed in a night suit, and if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't have noticed his presence at all.

It is Dongfang Tianxuan, one of the seven sons of the Dragon Guardian Villa, this Dragon Guardian Villa was established when Taizu was established, and it was only for the convenience of the emperor at the beginning, and later it had more supervision functions, which is somewhat similar to the nature of Jinyi Wei during the Ming Dynasty.

Each generation of dragon guards is personally selected by the emperor, and the dragon guards are independent of the imperial court, do not participate in factional struggles, and directly serve the emperor, with extremely high loyalty.

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen escorted Ningyuan County Commander Moqian to take office by the secret order of the first emperor, because he met a bad guy on the way to office, so he was delayed for a month, and he officially returned to Beijing yesterday to resume his life."

"Oh? Tell me more about it. ”

"Yes, when Mo Qian was about to arrive in Ningyuan County, he encountered a group of horse thieves, who killed all the people and plundered the gold and silver treasures, leaving only Mo Qian alive. But the lowly thinks this gang of horse thieves is a little unusual? ”

"Well, what's unusual? Let's hear it. Jiang Yang's brows furrowed slightly.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen's investigation found that this group of horse thieves was named Chasing Cloud Village, and they were originally operating in the south of Jian'an Mansion, and their stronghold was not in Ningyuan County, but for some reason, they suddenly ran more than 300 miles overnight and ran to Ningyuan County to set up camp, and after intercepting and killing, they returned to their original place, as if they were premeditated."

"You mean, these so-called horse thieves were actually instructed by someone?" Jiang Yang's eyes were still very flat.

Tianxuan whispered, "This is just Wei Chen's humble opinion. ”

Jiang Yang stood up, walked around the desk, paced slowly, and said, "Mo Qian, I haven't met him, but when I was still the crown prince, the emperor mentioned him to me many times, and every time he mentioned it, he used four words to evaluate, and he had a good idea.

I also sent someone to inquire about him, although he is a scholar, but he has great ambitions, if he can be cultivated, he will be the mainstay of my great qi in the future.

Hey, this piece says that he was appointed to the remote area of Ningyuan County because he was jealous, but according to me, it seems that the first emperor loved him very much. ”

"Why is that?" As soon as Tianxuan spoke, he knew that he was speechless, and he hurriedly said forgiveness.

But Jiang Yang didn't seem to hear what he said, "Let him be noticed too early, not only will he not be able to grow up quickly, but it will also bring him a lot of unnecessary trouble." Jiang Yang turned to look at Tianxuan and said solemnly.

"Even killing."

Tian Xuan lowered his head, he knew that he shouldn't have listened to these words, as the emperor's guard, he knew what he should listen to and what not to hear.

Jiang Yang suddenly felt a little uneasy, and waved his hand, "Okay, you go down first." Also, those horse thieves, investigating the Dragon Guardian Villa, if there is any news, report to me at any time. ”

"Yes, Tianxuan understands." Tianxuan slowly returned to her original place and disappeared in front of Jiang Yang, as if she had never appeared.

There is another reason, Jiang Yang did not say.

It's not that Mo Qian is not reused, but it can't be reused by Emperor Jing, first marginalize Mo Qian, wait until he grows to a certain extent, and then Jiang Yang will transfer him back to the imperial court, so that not only can he seal the mouth of other people's right and wrong, but also make Mo Qian grateful to Jiang Yang and loyal to Jiang Yang.

Mo Qian is a wealth left by Emperor Jing to Jiangyang.

However, if Mo Qian did not impress Jiang Yang in such adversity, then there would be no need to transfer it back.

Because, what Jiang Yang needs is a talent who can assist him in pacifying the world, not a greenhouse flower who needs the emperor's blessing everywhere.

Jiang Yang walked slowly to the window, walking very slowly, but each step seemed heavy.

Dark clouds rolled outside the window, pressing from all directions, as if they had to crush people out of breath, suddenly, thunder loomed, a dazzling lightning bolt seemed to tear the sky, a gust of wind blew in, blowing the paper on the table in all directions.

The wind is blowing, Jiang Yang sighed, now there are feudal towns inside, those old guys in the court are colluding with each other, and there are Turkic armies pressing the border, always pressing.

Presumably, the storm in all directions is coming soon, and there is not much time left for me.
