Chapter 187: An Unexpected Treasure
Although the small courtyard is small, it has its own advantages, and although the big mansion is good, it also has its own troubles, and when Yang Ming came to the mansion of the former Hedong County Commander in Xianyang, he realized that the intuitive mansion was more vivid than the lines on the plain silk.
Even in the inner city of Xianyang, the scale of this mansion is quite not small, the high households of Zhumen are not the same, although it is not as good as the mansion like the Meng family, but in the inner city of Xianyang, it can definitely be regarded as a mansion, entering from the main entrance, there are three lobbies in the front, middle and back, and about a dozen small courtyards are scattered in the center of the two lobbies in the middle and back, which is a place that can live more than 100 people.
It's just that such a mansion is quite troublesome to take care of.
At the very least, just a little orchid can't do it.
"Isn't that a little too big?" Sure enough, Hu Ji, who was following behind Yang Ming, was already unable to hide her surprise at this time, although it was a good thing that the house was too big, but it was she who did the work.
"This kind of regulation can only be regarded as moderate, but Brother Yang really has to consider taking some slaves." Meng Tian, who has almost recovered, can be said to be alive and well, said on the side.
Yang Ming doesn't have many friends in Xianyang, and there are naturally even fewer people who can accompany him to see the house.
"I know, Brother Yang, you are already the title of the fifth doctor, and according to the regulations, you can have dozens of slaves, whether you find it from your own manor or buy it when the time comes." Meng Yidao, who likes to join in the fun, came along.
"Besides, let's see how this mansion is now, little orchid, you can find a courtyard for yourself." Yang Ming had already taken the lead in entering the mansion as he spoke.
At this time, there were still a few officials and soldiers from the Inner History Mansion in the mansion, and when Yang Ming and Meng Tian came to a small courtyard, they found that dozens of people were crowded in the small courtyard.
"These people are all members of the family of the former Hedong County Guard, and they are about to be exiled to the border land of Longxi." The official in charge of raiding the mansion explained to Yang Ming.
"Hmm." After knowing the identities of these people, Yang Ming also roughly understood why some of these people were so angry in their eyes, but Yang Ming didn't bother to pay attention to these people, what did their anger have to do with him, and in those angry eyes, Yang Ming's last trace of sympathy disappeared.
When Yang Ming was about to leave, a young woman pulled two little girls and rushed out under the obstruction of the soldiers, people like Yang Ming and Meng Tian naturally did not worry about what threat the young woman would have to her.
Sure enough, when the soldier was about to stop him, the young woman had already pulled the two little girls to their knees: "Please be kind and take my two daughters, they can be slaves and maids, and serve you." “
"Who are they?" Meng Tian frowned and looked at the little official of the Inner History Mansion on the side.
"Back to the major general, she is the concubine of the former Hedong County Guard, and the two girls are her daughters." The little official of the Inner History Mansion hurriedly replied.
"If Lord Zhongcheng is interested, I can issue a document and exile to the land of Longxi, the adult may be able to live, but it is difficult for such a little girl to live." The small official of the Inner History Mansion said.
He had received the favor of the county guard of Hedong County, and if he could help some, he would naturally be very willing.
The border land of Longxi is a bitter cold place, and the big families of the high families may not be affected, but the life of the wandering prisoners is extremely hard, even adults can hardly get through, let alone such a group of little girls who are less than five years old.
Besides, they are only concubines and daughters, not concubines, and they are not that important, and there is completely room for operation, but all this depends on Yang Ming's meaning.
Looking at the woman with a pleading face and the two little girls behind her who were trembling with fear, Yang Ming muttered, "Will there be any trouble?" ”
For strangers, Yang Ming's compassion is really limited, but if he can save two little lives with a single effort, Yang Ming doesn't mind doing it.
"It's not troublesome, because the two of them are concubines and daughters, plus they are still young, they are not above the household registration." The small official of the Inner History Mansion said.
"Then please ask Your Excellency to help issue such a document." Yang Ming had already left as he spoke.
Finally, Yang Ming came to the location of the backyard and found a gazebo to sit down.
"Brother Yang, it seems that there are still a lot of things to buy here." Meng Tian looked around.
"As long as you can live, as for the rest, take your time." Yang Ming said indifferently.
"Brother Yang, this is different, now that you have established a family, many things are no longer a question of whether you like it or not, but a matter of identity façade." Meng Yi, who was already quite a housekeeper at a young age, reminded on the side.
"Identity façade? Can this kind of thing be exchanged for my own comfort? Yang Ming didn't care, his pursuit of power was not an end, but just a means, and he didn't want to do anything against his will for the sake of power.
"That's what I said, but in the future, Brother Yang will inevitably usher in something to be sent here." Meng Yi reminded.
"Take your time, there's no rush for this." Yang Ming said.
"By the way, Brother Meng, do you have any plans that you can't make in the future?" Yang Ming asked.
Meng Tian is about to be twenty years old, and naturally he is going to join the army, before that, he has participated in the battle of Qin Wangzheng for five years to attack Wei, at that time he was considered to be out of the division, and now, Meng Tian is about to step down from the position of general, so naturally before leaving, Meng Tian will be arranged.
"Grandfather is going to let me go to Binh Duong." Meng Tian said.
"Pingyang Heavy Armored Army?" Yang Ming said without surprise.
In the original trajectory, Meng Tian originally went to the Pingyang Heavy Armored Army, and because of this, he got an opportunity three years later, an opportunity for him to become a confidant of Qin Wangzheng.
"Yes, my grandfather said that the infantry combat power of the Pingyang Heavy Armored Army is the strongest in the Qin State, and our Meng family is good at cavalry combat, and we still need to experience in the Pingyang Heavy Armored Army to make up for my shortcomings." Meng Tian said.
"What position?"
"According to the military exploits during the Battle of Yucheng, I got the position of a thousand-commander." Meng Tian said.
"That's not bad, it seems that soon your men will surpass me, and I only have two hundred people left now, and I can't even make up the number of six hundred for a while." Yang Ming said with envy and jealousy.
The guards of Ganquan Palace haven't been able to make up for it for a while, and now Yang Ming is really a little pitiful.
"How can that compare." Meng Tian said speechlessly, he had already experienced Yang Ming's playful temperament too many times, so how could he take it seriously.
"Work hard, the Pingyang Heavy Armor Army is a good place, a place that can really let you take off." Yang Ming is meaningful.
"Didn't Brother Yang learn the prophetic divination techniques of Taoism and Yin and Yang?" Meng Yi asked.
"Of course I didn't learn it, but when it comes to the art of prophecy and divination, Taoism and Yin-Yang may not really be like me." Yang Ming said confidently.
Although Yang Ming can't predict the art of divination, he can cheat, if you really talk about it, Taoism and Yin and Yang are far behind.
"Brother Yang, this is not a joke, the mountain gate of the Taoist Heavenly and Human Sect is not far from Xianyang, and the people of the Yin and Yang family are also in Xianyang, be careful that people come to the door." Meng Yi reminded.
"Then let them come to the door, speaking of which, I have long thought that I would meet the people of the Yin and Yang family." As Yang Ming spoke, his eyes inadvertently glanced somewhere, where there was probably a very fierce and fierce big guy hidden.
"Why is there only the Yin and Yang Sect, and not the Taoist Heaven and Man Sect?" Meng Yi said curiously.
"Because the Taoist Heavenly and Human Sects are not good-looking." Yang Ming explained seriously.
What kind of existence is the Yin-Yang Family? Can Yang Ming still not know?
From Dongjun to the Moon God, to the Great Si Ming, the Young Si Ming, and Mrs. Xiang, which one is not a woman who is captivating the country and the city, dealing with such a woman is always more interesting than dealing with the Taoist Heaven and Man Erzong, after all, the Yin and Yang family is the real leader of the aesthetic existence of this era.
"What kind of reason is this, it's almost the same to fool a child." Meng Yi was dissatisfied, he was already an adult now, but did Yang Ming's words sound like a complete deception to a child?
"Maybe that's it?" Yang Ming said half-truthfully.
In the midst of the small talk of several people, the official of the Inner History Mansion returned with the young woman and the two little girls from before.
"Lord Zhongcheng, this is a document issued by the Inner History Mansion, and from now on, the two of them will be the slaves of Lord Zhongcheng." The official of the Inner History Mansion sent a volume of documents to Yang Ming and said.
"I'm tired." Yang Ming took the paperwork and immediately unfolded it.
"The sinner has thanked the adults for their great kindness." The woman took her two daughters to their knees and bowed repeatedly.
The two girls beside her showed panicked expressions when they saw their mothers like this.
"Black and white, you must always remember the great kindness of adults, and in the future, adults will be your masters, and you must listen to adults as you listen to your father and mother." The woman pulled her two daughters and said with a reluctant expression.
She doesn't know if her two daughters will live a better life in the future, but now she has no choice, if she brings her two daughters to the border of Longxi, it will be difficult for them to survive, besides, it is better to be a slave in a powerful house than to be a prisoner in the border of Longxi.
I only hope that Yang Ming will be a good host, at least from the performance point of view, Yang Ming is still kind, at least willing to help them.
"Black, white?" Yang Ming looked at the bamboo slip in his hand, and then heard the woman call her two daughters like this, and suddenly thought of a possibility.
No way? Only, if this is not the case, what is the thief hiding under the eaves for?
I really have a relationship with the Yin and Yang family. Yang Ming thought about putting away the bamboo slips, and said to the woman: "The border land of Longxi may not be a dead land, they may be able to take you back in the future." ”
"Yes." The woman was slightly stunned, and then understood Yang Ming's kindness, people must have a thought in life, if not, it is difficult to persist in a place like the border of Longxi.
