Chapter 333: A Salted Fish

The noble families don't care about money, that's because His Majesty has already left them a living. But Qin Ze is different, he, the marquis, still has a bit of a child's play.

But having said that, if it is about Qin Ze's merits, no one can have any objections. Whether it is the battle of Lingzhou in Yan'er Mountain, or the current collapse of the Turks, Qin Ze's meritorious achievements are enough to support his title.

But Li Er only gave an empty title, and there was an empty mansion. The eight achievements are to let Qin Ze toss by himself. lest Qin Ze go around "causing trouble" again.

This made Qin Ze uneasy, when the mansion was big, he always wanted to put something in it, but now?

After two months of busy work, Qin Ze also placed the inner mansion of the mansion and several surrounding courtyards properly, but he only simply placed some furniture.

Every time Qin Ze returned from the main gate, the pavilions and towers he walked along the way were all silent.

This can't be done, if this huge Jingyang Hou continues like this, won't it become a ghost house.

There is no way to do this, Qin Ze's side is full of only sixteen people. Zhou Cheng and they can't live in the inner mansion, they can only be arranged in the courtyard next to the inner mansion. It was originally where the guards lived.

The rest of Xiaoli and Xiaoxiao live in the east wing, because there is a plum planted outside the windowsill, so Xiaoli likes it.

Impermanence and the two tigers live in the courtyard on the east side, and the old gentleman lives in the courtyard on the east side.

In this way, although there are four courtyards in total, it seems to be even more empty. Qin Ze is alone, and he has no brothers and sisters and parents, so even if he breaks his head, he pretends to be dissatisfied with this Jingyang Hou Mansion.

Perhaps seeing the current situation of the Marquis of Jingyang's mansion, Li Er also deliberately allowed Qin Ze to go to Zuo Wuwei to select guards. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the Marquis of Jingyang can have one hundred and twenty guards, but what is the use of Qin Ze wanting these people?

They can be responsible for their own safety and impermanence, and the safety of the Houfu will be handed over to Zhou Cheng. If there were a hundred and twenty people at once, it might have been even more chaotic.

Besides, in the army, there are also hybrids of various forces. If Qin Ze brought people back like this, it was estimated that his safety would not be guaranteed.

And for now, Qin Ze doesn't worry about his safety at all. Nowadays, all corners of Chang'an City are full of beggars.

Whether it is a prosperous restaurant or near the gate of the noble family, there are beggars everywhere.

The drought in the second year of Zhenguan, coupled with the floods this year, caused a large number of displaced people to pour into Chang'an City. And these people are naturally candidates for the beggar gang, although the personnel are huge and complex, but there are only about 30 people who are really trusted. This is what Qin Ze requested, and he still understands the truth that it is better to lack than to abuse.

Who the beggars are, Qin Ze doesn't know. All the matters were handed over to the Song side and them, so that even if this force was exposed, it would not affect Qin Ze.

With the existence of these people, Qin Ze was much more at ease. The more people who are not taken seriously, the more news they get. In fact, if Qin Ze was willing, he would even be able to find out whose young lady had sneaked out to hang out with her lover, and whose master had married a concubine......

Qin Ze is now like a spider, constantly weaving cobwebs. These cobwebs are intertwined, which is Qin Ze's protective umbrella.

Each family has its own cobwebs, which is the foundation of their establishment in Chang'an. But there are always people who are an exception.

Tang Jian is such a person, he doesn't have his own cobweb, or his cobweb only has a thread.

One end of the silk connected to Li Er, and the other end connected to him. Although it is single, it is undeniable that as long as Li Er does not cut this thread, no one will be able to move Tang Jian.

Tang Jian's visit was naturally to use the guard of honor of the Houfu, which was to show respect for the visitors. It's just that Qin Ze's family doesn't have enough manpower, so it's impossible to welcome Tang Jian with a guard of honor.

Qin Ze simply put the guard of honor behind the screen of the mansion gate, which also saved trouble.

Tang Jian was still the same, without the slightest expression on his face. When I entered the door of the house, I didn't say anything when I saw that the honor guard was placed on the spot, but I saw that the instrument plate was a little tilted, but walked directly forward to straighten it. At the end, he had to reprimand Qin Ze a few words, but it made Qin Ze uncomfortable.

"Need a housekeeper." Tang Jian glanced at Qin Ze coldly and said lightly.

"There is no popularity in the house, where is the housekeeper." Qin Ze shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly.

Tang Jian looked around again, and then frowned again and said, "I need some domestic servants." ”

The huge Jingyang Hou Mansion is only two and a half women. Even Qin Ze didn't have a maid or servant by his side, not to mention how awkward it looked.

"I'm used to the cranes, and I don't know who serves whom." Qin Ze is right, if you don't say anything else, just talk about his first-hand cooking skills, who else can compare with the entire Chang'an.

So after talking about it, Tang Jian shook his head and said with a wry smile: "There is no female dependent in the house, after all, it is too lonely." But I heard that you are married to a girl from the Wang family, I don't know when you are ready to marry? ”

Being able to say such words from Tang Jian's mouth is already a great thing. It is estimated that there are not many people in the entire Chang'an who can receive this treatment from him.

Qin Ze counted one, and that was because Tang Jian knew what he had done. At the beginning, in the Turkic enemy camp, Qin Ze gambled with his life, but he died once. This move alone has already won Tang Jian's approval, not to mention the life-saving grace later.

"It's too late this year, so we can only wait for the snow to melt next year."

Previously, because the mansion was to be renovated, the marriage of Qin Ze and Wang Yuxi could only be delayed. And now it is Chinese New Year's Eve in more than a month, and the marriage can naturally only be put on again. But that's okay, the mansion is empty now, and I don't even have the ability to entertain guests, so how can I get married?

Besides, Wang Yuxi is also very busy now, and the food and food affairs on the other side of the fiefdom are all done by her alone, how can she be unlucky.

In the final analysis, this is the reason why Qin Ze does not have his parents, there is a lack of head in the family, and he is from a "mud leg" background, so he can only take his time little by little.

Tang Jian listened to Qin Ze's words, nodded and took a salted fish from the old slave beside him, and then handed it to Qin Ze, saying, "Please let me know when you get married." ”

Qin Ze hurriedly took the salted fish, and then bowed down to invite Tang Jian into the mansion.

The salted fish is a gift that Tang Jian brought with him this time, and it is a real salted fish. And I don't know how long it has been pickled, but long white hairs have precipitated on it.

If someone else comes to the Marquis Mansion of Jingyang and brings a salted fish, they will definitely be laughed at, but Tang Jian is worthy of respect if he can take it out. Qin Ze knew that Tang Jian had nothing to do with anything other than the imperial court.

With his 20 or so yuan a month, he can support dozens of people in his family, which is already very good.

Therefore, Tang Jian took salted fish as a prayer, which is something worthy of respect.

As the first guest to visit the Marquis of Jingyang's mansion, Qin Zecai didn't believe that Tang Jian was just here to catch up with himself.

Greeted Tang Jian to the main hall, where Qin Ze hadn't cleaned up much. Just spread a thick wool felt on the floor, and then only put a table.

When Qin Ze came over, Erhu had already brought the stove and tea set over. When he saw this scene, Qin Ze suddenly made up his mind that he would find some servants in the future.

Even if you don't care about yourself, you still have to pay attention to it as a courtesy.

After making tea for Tang Jian, Qin Ze sat there and waited for him to speak. But he didn't want Tang Jian, but he kept staring at the stove next to him.

This stove was specially built by Qin Ze when he came back, and it couldn't be better for burning coal. It is also extremely convenient to make tea on weekdays and warm your hands.

Qin Ze saw Tang Jian staring at the stove, and thought he was interested, so he smiled and said, "If Tang Gong likes it, it is better to let the craftsmen in the house make some and bring them back, it will be so cold that it will warm up your body." ”

He made a lot of this thing when he was Turkic, but because it was made of iron, it was destined to be impossible to implement on a large scale.

Qin Ze thought that Tang Jian liked it, but he didn't want the other party to just shake his head, and then said abruptly: "The Emperor Taishang has moved out of the Taiji Palace. ”

Suddenly hearing Tang Jian say this, Qin Ze was also stunned, but then he reacted.

After the change of Xuanwumen, although Li Yuan abdicated, he still lived in the Taiji Palace, the previous palace, and Li Er could only live in the Lizheng Hall of the Ming Official.

And now that Li Yuan is moving out of Taiji Palace, shouldn't it be a good thing?

Qin Ze looked at Tang Jian, but found that the other party obviously had no intention of continuing, so he had no choice but to speak: "The Emperor Taishang has always liked to be noisy, and it is normal to move out of the Taiji Palace, but I don't know what Tang Gong means?" ”

In fact, the reason why Li Yuan moved out of Taiji Palace was because after the Tang Dynasty's war to destroy the Turks, Li Er's prestige was no longer comparable to him. So at this time, it would not be a wise move to move out of the Taiji Palace.

Tang Jian couldn't help but smile when he saw that Qin Ze used a sentence and attributed the reason why Li Yuan moved out of Taiji Palace to Li Yuan's personal preferences.

At the moment, he also followed Qin Ze's words and said: "It is true that the Emperor Taishang likes to be noisy, but now he is going to move to Hongyi Palace in the west of the city. ”

Hearing the three words Hongyi Palace, Qin Ze finally knew why Tang Jian had such an expression. It is estimated that the entire court minister is now depressed.

What is Hongyi Palace? It was originally built in recognition of Li Er's outstanding military exploits when Li Yuan was in power, in other words, it was the palace before Li Er.

The furnishings, layouts and various pomp and circumstance in the palace are one grade lower than those of Taiji Palace, not to mention, it is not good for Li Yuan to move there.

"Your Majesty has begun to gather people to discuss the matter of building another palace for the Emperor Taishang. It's just that if it's freezing today, Your Majesty is afraid that the Emperor Taishang will be frozen, so I'm here to ask the old man to ask you for a solution. Tang Jian nodded, and simply said what he meant.

Qin Ze was not a fool, so he naturally understood what Tang Jian meant. It's just that this is obviously using himself to divert the pressure of the court.

Use Qin Ze to fool yourself Lao Tzu......
