Due to the sudden tension in the river. Originally, the disposal of the Beiting Protectorate and Jijing Xiahou's family had to be suspended, but a painless edict was issued, but for Xiahou Mao, the title of the Duke of Zhenguo would return to Chang'an sooner or later, and Jijing's division would be beaten back to its original form, so for Li Ang, who provided this opportunity. He was grateful and regarded Li Ang as his own, so when he knew that Li Ang was going to defend the western front of the river and fight against the Persians, he and his nephew provided a large amount of gold baht, and at the same time sent the children of Xiahou's family to Li Ang's tent to listen to it.
"In that case, then I will be disrespectful." Seeing that Xiahou Mao said sincerely, and assured that those children of the Xiahou family would absolutely obey his orders. This made Li Ang somewhat understand the old man's thoughts, the family alliance has decided to let the title of the Duke of Zhenguo return to Chang'an, and the division of the Xiahou family in Jijing, who has committed a big taboo, is not to worry, but as the ancestral hall elder of the Xiahou family. Xiahou Mao had to think more, if the family did not have enough strength to subdue the separation. It will only make the world laugh, and now he asked the children of his family to go with him to the western front of the river to fight against the Persians, just to temper these children, and his intentions can not be described as bad and bitter.
Let's talk about business, Li Ang and Xiahou Mao talked about family life, and the most talked about was the matter of Feng Siniang, Xiahou Mao felt some regrets about Feng Siniang who couldn't recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. "Husband, I've brought Qi'er here." Outside the study, the voice of Feng Siniang suddenly sounded.
"Come, call my father-in-law!" took the eldest son from Feng Siniang's arms, and Li Ang hugged it to Xiahou Mao. "Father-in-law!" Jing Qi, who was taken into Xiahou Mao's arms, looked at the old man in front of him with a pair of black and white eyes, and shouted obediently according to his father's wishes.
"Good, good!" Looking at Jing Qi in his arms, Xiahou Mao looked at Feng Siniang, his voice trembled a little, returned Jing Qi to Li Ang, took off a jade pendant from his body and put it in swaddling clothes, and then teased Jing Qi for a while, then got up and said goodbye.
"Husband, why do I think something is wrong with this old man when he looks at our Jingqi!" After Xiahou Mao left, Feng Siniang looked at Li Ang, who hung the jade pendant for her son, and asked with some puzzlement, she could feel the kindness of Xiahou Mao when he looked at Jing Qi, as if Jing Qi was his grandson.
"Siniang, there are some things I don't think I should have been hiding from you." Holding his son, Li Ang decided to tell Feng Siniang the truth, in the past, he was afraid that Feng Siniang would be involved in the internal struggle of the Xiahou family, so he wanted to keep this secret, but now, the matter of the Xiahou family has been settled, under the auspices of the family alliance and the royal family, the title of the Duke of Zhenguo will definitely return to Chang'an, and Xiahou Mao will sooner or later let Feng Siniang know her life experience, he doesn't want Feng Siniang to misunderstand her because of this.
Listening to what her husband said, Feng Siniang's expression never changed, and it wasn't until Li Ang finished speaking that she looked at him and suddenly hugged him, "I know, you just want to protect me by hiding it from me." After speaking, he didn't care at all, but blinked his eyes and teased his son, "Son, you have another backer, and you can walk sideways in Chang'an City in the future." ”
Seeing that Feng Siniang didn't care, Li Ang breathed a sigh of relief, and Feng Siniang also said well, the Xiahou family is bound to be the center in the future, and his son is indeed another backer, the emperor is the godfather, and the chief Sima and the chief of Zhishi are the godfathers, plus Xiahou Mao's father-in-law, as long as he is not a rebel, he can really walk sideways in Chang'an City. Thinking of this, Li Ang laughed, the future is always like this, beautiful and exciting!
After solving this matter, Li Ang simply opened his mouth with Xiahou Mao, and asked the Jingqi brothers and sisters to live in Xiahou's house, and asked him to take care of them together with Da Sima and the chief minister, and Xiahou Mao agreed, and now he is waiting for Li Ang and Feng Siniang to come back from the river, so that Feng Siniang can recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors in a beautiful manner.
After setting the date of departure, Li Ang chose a not very busy day to meet the Greek businessman Contriano in Trist's mouth, in order to grasp the initiative, he specially asked Li Mowen and Jinyiwei to check the details of this Greek businessman, and the result was surprised.
After the Greeks of Contriano were out-and-out wealthy families, he had a long history, his father was a marshal of the Greek navy, and he was extremely powerful in Greece. After learning about Contriano's origins, Leon became interested in the Greek, who had spent six years in Chang'an and had married a Han Chinese, and he wondered what the Greek was trying to do, who appeared to be a faithful convert to Chinese civilization.
—
Outside Leon's estate, Contriano sat in a carriage. Calm down the excitement. He had lived in Chang'an for six years, and now he could finally get in touch with the big names in the center of Great Qin's power, unlike Li Ang. Contriano had been paying close attention to Leon's situation, and from what he knew, the Great Qin general he was going to meet was the first general of Great Qin in thirty years, he was invincible on the battlefield, and the barbarians of the steppe were all terrified when they heard his name, and his fame even spread to Persia and beyond. And most importantly, his personal friendship with Emperor Great Qin is very good, and he has a lot of influence in Great Qin, which is very crucial to his ambition, and he must win the friendship of this general.
The carriage stopped, and Contriano got out of the carriage with his wife, a Han girl with pure blood, and the strength of Great Qin was manifested in many ways. For example, in the city of Chang'an, it is difficult for the wealthy merchants of various countries to hire Han people to work for them, because for the Han people, it involves a matter of face. If you work for foreigners, they will be looked down upon by the people around them. Therefore, Contriano only had to marry a Han woman as his wife according to the unwritten rules, so that he could borrow his wife's name and hire some Han people to work for him, otherwise he would hire Han people at will, and if he was reported, Jing Zhaoyin of Chang'an would unceremoniously seal his shop, and even let him walk around on the charge of contempt for Daqin.
Looking at the wife who commanded the people to take the gifts from the car, Contriano had a smile on his face, he loved his wife very much, compared with the women of Greece, Persia and Rome, the women of Daqin were much more virtuous, they would not make irresponsible remarks about men's affairs, but kept their duty as wives, although they were much better educated than the women of Greece and Rome, but they never expressed their opinions easily, they only cared about the family the most. This made Contriano feel very lucky, and he felt a moment of silence for the wives of his two brothers in Greece.
Although he did not receive any grand welcome, Contriano did not care, at least he felt that General Lee had his butler receive him personally, rather than being guided by a few servants when he visited a few officials, as in the past.
Along the way, Contriano carefully observed the situation in the manor, compared with the mansions of several Confucian officials he had been to in the past, Leon's manor seemed too simple, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Contriano would have found it hard to believe that this was the residence of the first general of Great Qin, but what he cared about the most was that among the walking crowds in the manor, it was obvious that there were many Great Qin people of foreign origin, which made him look forward to the next meeting, from his previous experience, Confucian officials usually maintain a sense of superiority over foreigners, believing that they are obligated to let them believe in their Confucian sages, while Legalist officials tend to be indifferent and only talk to others about practical matters, and if foreigners deal with them in the same way they have learned from the scribes, you will be despised by them, while the soldiers of Great Qin maintain a natural hostility and contempt for foreigners, but from the current situation, Contriano felt that the Leon he was about to meet would be very different from the Great Qin soldiers he had seen before.
Contriano was very pleased to see Leon and Feng Siniang in the main hall, and he was summoned by his master's family in the main hall, indicating that he was not despised. For Contriano, the third son of the Greek marshal, Leon's first impression was that he was an energetic and very urbane man. After a few pleasantries, Contriano directly expressed his desire to talk to Leon about something, and he could see that Leon in front of him had a temperament similar to that of a Legalist official, and they hated wasting time saying meaningless things.
In the study, after inviting Contriano to sit down, Li Ang handed the file about Contriano investigated by Jinyiwei to the Greek, when he read the contents of the contents, Contriano couldn't help but feel a little cold in his vest, he didn't expect that the people he had visited in the past six years had been found out, although he was shocked and inexplicable, but he still kept his composure, returned the file to Li Ang, and complimented, "Your Excellency General, sure enough, your wrist is up to the sky." ”
"Mr. Chen, don't you mind if I call you that?" Leon looked at Contriano and said, "The Greek wife's surname is Chen, and he has given his Han surname Chen."
"Of course you don't mind, General, please?" Seeing that Li Ang had something to say, Contriano couldn't help but cheer up, he thought that this Great Qin General had already seen his true intentions, and the next moment was to decide his fate.
"From this, it is not difficult to see that Mr. Chen has great ambitions." Leon tapped on the file on the table, looking at the Greek humanist in front of him, in the past six years, he had tried his best to contact the officials of Great Qin, and even the military, and he definitely had a great plan.
"So I hope Mr. Chen doesn't hide anything from me, I want to hear the truth." Leon looked at Contriano and said, his expression became cold, which made Contriano feel a sense of danger, if he didn't tell the truth, he would die here, this was all the thoughts in his mind.
