Lu Cheng's family is known as the hairpin family of Zhong Ming Ding Shi in Da Ming country, his ancestors have fought the world with Taizu, is a brother on horseback, one of the founding heroes, rewarded by Taizu, his family in the capital of the house is large and exquisite, no worse than the prince's mansion, several generations of management, the heritage of Lu Mansion is getting deeper and deeper.

Jiang Banxia followed behind Lu Cheng, she walked all the way and sighed all the way in her heart, there are thousands of people in the world, some people are born to stand at the top, and some people climb all the way or fall into the mud.

Lu Cheng handed Jiang Banxia to the housekeeper and instructed: "This is Jiang Xia, the nephew of my distant cousin, arrange a room for him to entertain." ”

The housekeeper hurriedly said yes.

"From now on, you will think that this is your home." Lu Cheng patted Jiang Banxia on the shoulder and said, "Later, I will introduce you to your aunt and Ah Yun." ”

"Thank you, uncle."

"You're welcome, just treat this as your home." Lu Cheng had a smile on his face, and he looked a little kind.

Jiang Banxia lived in the westernmost courtyard of the Lu Mansion under the arrangement of the housekeeper, as a relative who couldn't be beaten by the eight poles and was a 'foreign man', it was reasonable for her to live here.

This courtyard is next to the street, and there is a small door alone, but no one has been there for many years, and the small door is completely blocked by the crazy big trees, and she is very satisfied if she is thin and squeezed.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Lu Cheng sent someone to invite Jiang Banxia to dinner.

Jiang Banxia sat in front of the bronze mirror and carefully sorted out her appearance and used a special ointment to cover the not obvious ear holes on her ears, watching herself in the mirror become more and more handsome, Jiang Banxia followed with satisfaction and invited her maid to go to the main hall together.

In fact, there was no need for Lu Cheng to introduce Jiang Banxia to the people in his family, but he still introduced it, which was enough to show the weight of Jiang Hailin in Lu Cheng's heart.

Lu Cheng pointed to the noble lady sitting on the right hand side of the main seat and said, "This is your aunt." ”

"Hello Auntie."

"This is Ah Yun, more than three years older than you, you can call him Zi Fan."

Jiang Banxia bowed his hand to the peer salute: "Cousin Fan." ”

Lu Yun hurriedly returned the salute.

The delicate girl who had been covering her face with a fan was quietly looking at Jiang Banxia with her residual vision, although her mother complained to her during the day that her father had recruited poor relatives from nowhere, but at this time she saw Jiang Banxia, who was quite handsome, her heart was beating like a deer, and her voice was like a mosquito fly: "Cousin Jiangxia is good." ”

This girl is Lu Cheng's most beloved daughter Lu Man.

Lu Cheng's wife is the daughter of a noble family in the Qing Dynasty, he and his wife have two sons and a daughter, the youngest son Lu Xun is the most naughty and mischievous, Lu Cheng sent people to the academy on the mountain early, saving him from annoying people at home.

The atmosphere in the banquet was only superficially harmonious, and Jiang Banxia could feel that the aunt didn't want to see her, so after the meal, Lu Cheng broke up the stall.

As the spring night deepens, the fragrance of flowers mixed with the slightly cold wind blows through the cracks in the windows and into people's dreams.

Cao Yu sat in the duty room, his brows furrowed, and the secret report in his hand was crumpled into a ball and thrown into the charcoal brazier at his feet.

"Cao Bingye is really bold, and he actually opened a border market without reporting." Fei Le, who was following behind Cao Yu, said: "Isn't this blatant contempt for Long live? ”

"He's too early to rejoice." Cao Yu took the blank letterhead on the table and considered, "Let Xu Ruilin continue to star." ”

Cao Alcohol was born in the master of ceremonies and concurrently served as the governor of the East Factory, his daily life is not as idle as many people think, every day has nothing to do at home and thinks about how to rectify the person, he is actually very busy, most of the time during the day in the duty room of the master of ceremonies to reply to the documents of the inner court supervisors, sometimes in front of the emperor according to the will of the will of the red red, if the night is on duty when he also needs to be on duty in the Forbidden City, but also because he is also the governor of the East Factory, the affairs at hand are as vast as a sea of smoke, there is no end.

"The Overseer is getting daylight." The little eunuch who came to add the lamp said respectfully.

Cao Yu looked at the slightly white sky, he rubbed his brows tiredly and said, "Prepare a sedan chair and go to Chengqian Palace." ”

At this time, Banzai should have risen, and the news of Cao Bingye's private opening of the border market has reached Banzai's ears, and he wants to probe the wind.

When the day began to be white, the Yamen of Fusi in Beizhen began a new day.

Jiang Banxia, who reported on the first day, stood at the back of the line, although she wore heightened soap boots, she was still a little shorter, especially in front of these powerful brocade guards, she looked even more petite.

The person standing in front of her looked at her for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Little brother, how come I have never seen you?" ”

Jiang Banxia said with a smile on his face: "I'm new here, and it's the first time I've come here today." ”

"Oooh." The man nodded again and again, but there was still doubt in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Banxia.

He was wondering how Jiang Banxia got into Jinyiwei? Generally, except for the hereditary one, the rest of the people who can enter the brocade guard rely on their own real skills.

If it was hereditary, he should have seen this little brother earlier, and he only saw it for the first time today, could it be that this little brother is capable?

But... The little brother's height seems to be a little unqualified, right? Jinyiwei, which evolved from Yiluan, still has strict requirements for the appearance and height of selected talents.

This made him puzzled, and finally attributed Jiang Banxia to the hereditary one in his heart, because he really couldn't think of a reason.

...

Lu Cheng thought very thoughtfully, he didn't come forward himself, but asked a hundred households surnamed Han under his command to arrange a place for Jiang Banxia.

Han Baihu, who was entrusted with this kind of errand, was also very embarrassed, he thought about it, since it was related, why not arrange it with that group of hereditary people, they were all here to mix, and there was no great danger.

"In the future, you will follow Cao Xiaoqi, he is short of people, do a good job." Han Baihu decided to arrange Jiang Banxia under Cao Lang.

Recently, he has a headache Cao Lang, Cao Lang is the only son of Huaiyuan's general Cao Bingye, recently his father is in the limelight, and he dare not offend, Cao Lang inherited his father's shadow and got a small flag position.

The little flag bearer has to be in charge of ten people, but Cao Lang usually only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, and he doesn't contribute, and he doesn't have any merits, let alone promotion, and several aspiring Lux captains who followed him were all transferred to other places, and for a while, Cao Lang had no one under him, so he began to mess with him.

Han Baihu glanced at Jiang Banxia, who had the support of the commander, and felt that this person was really good, so he let these two people learn from each other, and give him less trouble all day long.

Han Baihu, who had made plans in his heart, smiled and gave Jiang Banxia a uniform costume and a knife, and led her to see Cao Lang.

Surname Cao, Cao Lang? Cao Bingye's only son?

Jiang Banxia had a general understanding of his future chief, but he didn't expect his luck to be so good? As soon as he entered Jinyiwei, he met Cao Bingye's only son, which was carried by the death of the surname Cao?

Han Baihu summoned the person in charge of the Yamen of Fusi in Beizhen and asked, "Did that kid Cao Lang come to order today?" ”

"My lord, I haven't." The person in charge of lighting the mao was a little unhappy, and suppressed the fire in his heart and complained: "Cao Xiaoqi has not lit it for three consecutive days. ”

Han Baihu said: "Okay, I know, you go down first." ”

He basically turned a blind eye to this kind of thing, as long as this little ancestor didn't make any big trouble for him, he felt that it was okay.
