Chapter 30: Within Three Zhang, I Am the Only One?
The maid served tea to Bai Yu, peeked at Bai Yu, lowered her head and slowly retreated, leaving the warm pavilion, maybe she was guessing in her heart, what is the origin of this little nine pins, can Hou Ye personally ask her to serve tea so seriously, even if the right waiter's son and nephew, Hou Ye does not have to pay so much attention.
Bai Yu looked left and right boredly at the furnishings of the warm pavilion, it was nothing more than a word "trench", it seemed that it should be a place to rest and read, there must be no important documents or anything like that, otherwise it would be impossible for him to wait here alone.
The beast gold charcoal burned red in the brazier, and there should be floor heating buried in the ground, a brazier alone would not be so warm, it might be too comfortable, Bai Yu felt drowsy, and of course it could be carbon monoxide......
He got up, walked to the window, pushed open the window to ventilate, and saw a beautiful landscape, which was a small lawn, and a young girl was jumping and holding a kite string.
She is about fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing plain and elegant rain silk brocade, delicate eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, her nose is greasy goose fat, her teeth are like braided shells, and her waist is like a bundle of vegetarians, like a white rose with buds waiting to be released.
She looked at the kite that was flying high, "giggled" and chuckled, for some reason, she was not very old, but she had a hint of charm.
Phew! Bai Yu hurriedly retracted his gaze, Jin Nanhou asked him to wait in the warm pavilion, he actually peeked at other people's daughters, and he couldn't call it a peek but he didn't see it unintentionally, after all, his character was here, and there was no such thing as peeking.
Of course, it may not be a daughter, but a concubine or something, this dynasty can't judge the relationship from age, if it's a concubine, Bai Yu definitely wants to give Jin Nanhou a sword book to ward off evil spirits, why not a sunflower treasure book, because Jin Nanhou belongs to the military attache system and is matched with the evil sword spectrum.
Bai Yu came to the bookshelf and looked up at the dazzling array of books, he couldn't help but think of the magical river when he returned to Jingzhao Mansion from Linfu County, and looked for it on the bookshelf.
Soon, he found a volume of "The Gods of Mountains and Rivers", the title of the book is very second, according to his experience of reading books, the more middle two, the better it often looks.
He leaned on the bookshelf and looked through it with relish, and the book said that the famous mountains and rivers originally had spirituality, and won people's reverence, praise, and worship, and over the years, the spirituality would turn into tangible gods, called "mountain gods" and "river gods".
The strength of the river god and mountain god is related to "fame", and the so-called "fame" is people's reverence, praise, and worship.
The greater the "fame", the stronger the mountain god and river god tend to be, and in the same way, if it is gradually forgotten, the mountain god and river god will weaken until it dies.
In order to obtain the allegiance of the mountain god and the river god and stabilize the country, each dynasty will carry out a huge ceremony to seal the gods.
Emperor Taizu of Daqian overthrew the Dajing Dynasty and set the world, and then carried out a canonization of gods, some of the mountain gods and river gods were willing to surrender and accepted the edict, and there were also a small number of mountain gods and river gods who were loyal to Dajing and refused to be sealed by the Great Qian, and Emperor Taizu could only suppress and seal the "thorny mountain gods and river gods" and let them reflect well.
One thing caught Bai Yu's attention, what happened in a place with a mountain god and river god, the mountain god and river god could sense it, and he was secretly glad that fortunately, fortunately, there was no mountain god and river god on the road from the Octagonal Pavilion to Linfu County, otherwise he would have been found out a long time ago.
After reading this volume, I took other books to read, until noon, Jin Nanhou and the right waiter had not come back, as a dry rice person, Bai Yu was hungry as soon as he arrived at the meal, but he looked left and right, as if no one had brought him food.
Bai Yu had no choice but to call the maid in, "Little sister, have you eaten?" ”
The maid looked at him strangely, not understanding why he asked, "If you go back to your lordship, the slave has used it." ”
Bai Yu asked, "Why don't you send food to this official?" ”
The maid was a little stubborn, "But Master Hou didn't ask the slave to bring you food." ”
How can this be reasonable, if the Marquis of Jin Nan didn't ask you to deliver the meal, you won't send it? Jin Nanhou asked you to serve me tea, the tea is there, what about it? Bai Yu was very angry, "If the Marquis of Jin Nan knew that you treated the distinguished guests like this, he would definitely punish you, and he would not hurry up and bring food to the official." ”
When the maid heard that she was going to be punished, her little face turned pale, "What do you want to eat, the slave and maid ask the kitchen to cook it for you." ”
Bai Yu thought about it, but he didn't know what he wanted to eat, because of the single seasoning in this world, none of them were very delicious, except for the demon snake meat, of course, the demon snake meat contained aura, even if there was no seasoning, it was extremely delicious, he wanted to ask "Is there demon meat", but he felt too embarrassed.
Seeing the brazier burning vigorously next to him, he had an idea, this winter, shabu-shabu should be good.
He immediately said his request, "You ask the kitchen for a small pot, put some bone broth in the small pot, and ask for some slices of meat, cut them thinly, and some fresh vegetables, remember that the slices of meat and vegetables must be raw." ”
The maid felt inexplicable, and she stopped talking, but she still went, anyway, the guests could eat as much as they liked, and it had nothing to do with her.
In a big family, there are cooks and cooks, and the efficiency is high, and the things that Bai Yu wanted were delivered quickly.
He puts the small pot in the brazier, and when the bone broth in the pot boils, he can start shabu-shabu.
Somehow, a lot of people gathered outside the window, sneakily probing their heads into the warm pavilion, it turned out to be a group of naughty half-grown children, maids, maids and the like, and the beautiful girl who flew the kite before was also there, laughing and playing like a flock of little sparrows.
"I heard the cook say that the guests of the warm pavilion want to eat raw meat lettuce, how to eat raw meat lettuce, aren't you afraid of diarrhea?"
"Look at him put the small pot in the brazier, put the raw meat lettuce down and scalded it and sucked it into his mouth, hahaha, it must not be cooked yet."
"He seems to be eating very deliciously, is it so delicious?" ......
Bai Yu turned his head and glanced at them, his gaze unconsciously stopped on the face of the beautiful girl, there was no way, it was too beautiful, like a swan mixed in from a flock of ducks, it was difficult not to pay attention.
The beautiful girl looked at him for a moment, as if realizing that he was looking at herself, and her little head turned away, and hid by the wall.
After waiting for a while, the beautiful girl secretly came out to see it curiously.
Bai Yu didn't care about them, and worked silently.
When they were about to finish eating, Jin Nanhou and Right Squire came back, and the two of them were smiling, obviously in a good mood.
Seeing Bai Yu eating strangely, Jin Nanhou was stunned for a moment, and then saw a group of people peeking outside the window.
Jin Nanhou glared at the beautiful girl slightly, "Jin Wu, you are peeking at the guests like this, there are no rules, and you don't disperse quickly." ”
The beautiful girl reacted quickly, and before Jin Nanhou finished speaking, she trotted away, and the rest of the children also scattered with the chatter.
Jin Wu? Bai Yu pondered the tone of Jin Nanhou's tone, it should be a daughter, not a concubine, and the concubine was not so bold to come to peek at the male guest's meal, he took back the sword spectrum to ward off evil spirits, and saw that Jin Nanhou was not good-looking, but he had such a good-looking daughter, and he would give birth to more.
He put down the dishes and chopsticks and bowed his hand to the Marquis of Jinnan, "Master Hou, I'm really sorry, the lower official felt hungry, and he took it upon himself to have someone bring food." ”
"It's okay, Ben Hou didn't expect it to take so long, but the hospitality was not good."
Jin Nanhou smiled and waved his hand slightly, and looked at the small pot and raw meat and lettuce strangely, "Why do you eat like this?" ”
Bai Yu explained, "This is my original way of eating. ”
"You make something as good as Tianxiang Yulu, this original way of eating it should be good."
Jin Nanhou may feel novel, "Don't you mind eating with Ben Hou, right?" ”
This is your house, do I dare to mind? Bai Yu was a little speechless, Jin Nanhou was too polite or too polite, worthy of being honored, not as noble and vulgar as in the costume TV series.
He smiled and made a gesture of please, "Of course I don't mind, Master Hou please." ”
The Marquis of Jin Nan asked his subordinates to come in with two pairs of chopsticks.
This food, Jin Nanhou and the right attendant of the criminal department brightened their eyes, and they couldn't stop at all, and the two quickly understood the essence of eating like this, and they ate it after scalding, retaining the umami of the food to the greatest extent, and it was delicious.
"Hmm, send some more raw meat slices and lettuce in, the more the better, quick!"
The Marquis of Jin Nan didn't care about the image of Xungui anymore, his mouth was hot, and he waved his subordinates vaguely.
In the end, the three of them were all overwhelmed, and they sat and drank tea with their stomachs upright.
The right attendant of the Criminal Department said in a deep voice, "Hou Ye and this official entered the palace together to face the saint, and reported that you want to offer Tianxiang Yulu, Your Majesty Longyan Dayue, let Hou Ye and your official take care of Tianxiang Yulu together, of course, you are mainly responsible for taking care of it, Hou Ye and this official supervise, nominally Tianxiang Yulu is still your private property, and the profits will not go directly to the treasury, and will be received by His Majesty's internal funds, Your Majesty did not say how many percent, but it can be understood from Your Majesty's words that it should be eighty percent." ”
It seems that the old emperor is also a person with ideas, but he doesn't know what to do with so much private money...... Bai Yu comprehended and said with a smile, "The remaining two percent, how about the difference between the lower officials and the two adults?" ”
Don't underestimate two percent, it's also a huge wealth.
Jin Nanhou shook his head slightly, "On the way back, Ben Hou and Lord Shilang have discussed, you take one percent, Ben Hou and Lord Shilang can share one percent, if Tianxiang Yulu encounters any trouble, Ben Hou and Lord Shilang will come forward to solve it." ”
"Thank you, both of you."
Bai Yu didn't shirk anymore, after all, the Tianxiang Yulu came from him, maybe the two adults were embarrassed to share it with him equally because they took care of their faces.
With the royal family's "industry" as a background, he believes that no one will think of the trouble of finding Tianxiang Yulu.
"If there is no trouble, then create trouble...... For example, Zhang Qicai? ”
Bai Yu's heart moved, and he secretly sneered and had a small idea.
He got up and was about to say goodbye and leave, but Jin Nanhou stopped him and asked him to wait, he asked what else was going on, but Jin Nanhou smiled and said nothing, he looked at the right waiter, and the right waiter was also mysterious, and it was rare to sell Guanzi.
Don't...... Could it be that Jin Nanhou is ready to recruit me as a son-in-law? Bai Yu was whimsical, remembering that he already "had a wife and children", he felt a sense of regret, it seems that he has to have his own identity, otherwise how will he marry a wife in the future?
After waiting for about half an hour, a man wearing a eunuch suit came with a floating dust in his hand, who seemed to be the father-in-law of the palace, followed by a team of palace guards.
Jin Nanhou and Right Squire got up to greet him.
Bai Yu hurriedly got up.
Jin Nanhou exchanged a few words with the eunuch, and pointed at Bai Yu with a smile, "He is Lord He, the secretary of the Criminal Department." ”
The eunuch opened the brocade box held by the guard, and looked at Bai Yu with a solemn expression, "Lord He, take the order." ”
The Great Qianhuang Dynasty does not need to kneel in front of the saint or receive the decree, it is still a little dignified, Bai Yu bowed and bowed to the holy decree.
The eunuch took out the holy decree, spread his hands, and suddenly thought in frustration, "Fengtian carries the emperor, and he says: He Zhiyu, the secretary of the criminal department, is loyal to the holy dynasty, self-denial and public service, diligence and thrift, and bestows the male of Fengxian County, and gives the mansion, bullfighting clothes, and one hundred taels of gold. ”
This tone! This tone! It's got an inside taste...... Bai Yu was pleasantly surprised, Qifeng County Male, which means baron, although it is the lowest title, he has also become a noble.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long."
He took the decree in both hands.
The eunuch said congratulations expressionlessly, asked the guards to put down the reward, and left with the guards.
Marquis of Jin Nan joked, "Congratulations, sir." ”
"Congratulations."
The right attendant of the criminal department is also rarely smiling, you must know that the requirements for knighthood are extremely high, and he must make great contributions to the dynasty or make great achievements, he does not have a title as the father of the concubine, of course, he is a high-grade civil official, and he does not need a title to show his status.
Bai Yu didn't dare to be arrogant, and hurriedly bowed his hand in return, "Thank you for the cultivation of the two adults, and the lower officials will remember it in their hearts." ”
He knew that the two adults must have helped him "say good words" in front of the emperor, of course, it was mainly the huge wealth brought by Tianxiang Yulu that impressed the old emperor, which led to this baron's edict.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to the prince, there is no fief in any other title in the Daqian Dynasty, it is just an honor, of course, Yulu must have it.
[Character Card 2 Advanced!] 】
[Name: Bai Yu (He Zhiyu, character Zhongjing)]
[Race: Human]
[Identity: Baron (Qifeng County male); Secretary of the Criminal Department (Jiupin, one of the twelve secretaries of the Criminal Department)】
[Skill: Roll call (anyone who is named by you will fall into a state of stiffness); Detective (you have a pair of detective eyes that can see through false appearances); Domain (you, as a baron, have your own domain, with a range of three zhang)]
[Item: None]
Bai Yu was overjoyed, compared to the title, this is a bigger surprise, but I don't know what this extra [domain] skill means?
Within three zhang, I am the only one......
No matter how strong the enemy is, as long as he is close to three zhang, he can be seconds......
It shouldn't be like this, otherwise wouldn't it be invincible?
In addition to the title of baron, there are also mansions, bullfighting clothes, and gold hundred taels.
He now has half a warehouse of silver, and a large amount of silver is constantly coming in, and he is not short of money at all, so the mansion and a hundred taels of gold are meaningless.
However, this bullfighting suit is still very good, and it must be majestic to wear!
Bullfighting clothes are something that money can't buy, as a gift, to show status.
He still remembered that the young and promising young man in brocade clothes and Wei Qianhu, who was in the fifth grade, was wearing a bullfighting suit, which was magnificent.
Bullfighting suit, I also have hey, newer than yours...... He has already made up for the scene of the young Jinyi Wei Qianhu in the future, and he really stepped on the horse...... Immature!
