In the courtyard of the courtyard, Tang Jiusheng on the recliner squinted his eyes, looking at the cloudy sky with a smile on his face, Ximen Yushuang did not go to the auction today, and stayed at home to take care of the injured Xianggong. Ximen Yushuang took the four little maids Jin Ju, Ginkgo, Tongcao, and Tielan to boil medicine and make soup, wash and cook, and beat Tang Jiusheng's back and legs, and they were busy inside and outside the house.

When Ximen Yushuang passed by Tang Jiusheng's side, he was pulled by Tang Jiusheng, "Shuang'er, don't be busy, move a chair over and chat with Xianggong, just leave some things to the maid to do, you don't have to do everything yourself, let go when it's time to let go, don't make yourself like a maid." ”

Ximen Yushuang was amused, and sure enough, she moved a chair and sat next to Tang Jiusheng, and the two chatted. Ximen Yushuang quipped: "Ouch, now my father-in-law can be famous in the rivers and lakes, last night on the lawn, after you stunned Zhu Tianba, the audience shook, many little girls threw flowers, chanting your name outside the venue, some girls also rushed into the venue to ask you for an autograph, fortunately there are fat people who stop them, otherwise the scene will really get out of control!"

Tang Jiusheng laughed and touched his chin that was just a little bearded, "That's not because the elder brother is handsome, if the old monk Puxuan wins against Zhu Tianba, how many girls do you think will come to him for an autograph? If the elder brother looks like Zhu Tianba, it is estimated that it is thanks to the strong man's life-saving grace, and the little woman is willing to be a cow and a horse in the next life to repay the great kindness of the strong man." ”

Ximen Yushuang smiled and said, "Xianggong, you are very handsome, but do you know what I like about you the most?"

Tang Jiusheng asked with interest, "Which point?"

Ximen Yushuang shaved her face with her hand and smiled back and forth, "Thick skin!"

Tang Jiusheng nodded, and said as if he was very serious: "Well, you have big breasts, you are reasonable." ”

The little girl Ginkgo standing behind her couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud. Ximen Yushuang glanced back at her, and the little maid explained in a panic: "Grandma, master, I was just passing by, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on you!"

Tang Jiusheng had a loveless expression on his face, "Grandma, master, are we all so old?" Shuang'er, what the hell do you think, you actually let them call us master, grandma?"

The names of the four maids: Jin Ju, Ginkgo, Tongzhu, and Tielan are all names given by Ximen Yushuang, and they were ridiculed by Tang Jiusheng for several days, gold, silver, copper and iron, how vulgar and vulgar they are, how much soil and how earthy they are, why can't they be like you and your sister, what kind of frost, Xue'er, although it is also a bit vulgar, but after all, it is the girl's family, isn't such a name better than any gold, silver, copper and iron?

Ximen Yushuang smiled and put her face on Tang Jiusheng's chest, "Xianggong, I hope that the three of us can grow old, and when we get old, the maids will still call me lord and grandma, and I will be content." ”

Tang Jiusheng deliberately shouted: "Big wife, move quickly, your chest is too heavy, I am going to be crushed to death by your chest......!

Ximen Yushuang smiled and lightly slapped Tang Jiusheng, "Death! How many people want it!"

Tang Jiusheng smiled evilly, "Didn't I suddenly get rich, so I want to show off?"

Ximen Yushuang sat up straight and said: "Last night, your little junior brother Yulong was empty, I heard that you overturned Zhu Tianba, and he was even happier than he won Zhu Tianba himself, I only hated that I was not present at the time, and I didn't see your feat, do your junior sisters and brothers worship you like this?"

Tang Jiusheng scratched his head, "No, after all, I am many years younger than them, Yulong Xingkong is thirty years old, and I am only fifteen, then, his little junior brother, won Zhu Tianba, one of the four demons, they all have light on their faces, and they are proud!"

The two were chatting, and the little maid Jin Ju ran in in a panic, "Master, grandma, there are a lot of officials from outside, all wearing pointed hats, white leather boots, brown clothes, and knives that broke in!"

Tang Jiusheng sat up, pointed hat, white boots, brown clothes? This strange costume should be Dongwei's people? I saw Dongwei's soldiers who walked in from outside, two in a team, and one team of Dongwei soldiers entered the courtyard with their waist knives, and soon there were dozens of soldiers standing in the courtyard of the patio, plus there were hundreds of people standing outside the door who did not come in.

A fan shouted hoarsely: "Lord Yang Jingzhong of the Eastern Internal Security Division has arrived!"

Tang Jiusheng sneered, "What a big show!"

A few little maids have never seen this battle, and when they heard that it was the famous Dongnei Wei Si, they were all scared and hid behind Ximen Yushuang and shivered, thinking that the head of the family had offended the people of Dongwei, and the servants came to raid the house. Fortunately, these servants didn't mean to take people, they just showed off their prestige.

Tang Jiusheng and Ximen Yushuang didn't plan to go out to greet Yang Jingzhong, they both looked at the door, waiting for Yang Jingzhong to swagger down from the sedan chair outside, but there was no movement after waiting for a long time. Tang Jiusheng was puzzled, but Yang Jingzhong, who had white hair and white eyebrows, fell from the sky and landed quietly in the patio, standing a few steps away in front of Tang Jiusheng, with a smile on his face, "Tang Gongzi, don't come to harm?"

Tang Jiusheng didn't move on the recliner, just laughed, "Oops, it scared me, I thought that the chief manager Yang came in a sedan chair, but I didn't expect the chief manager to come from the sky, it turned out to be a cloud, and I can't salute the chief manager because of the pain in my lower back." I won't take the gold medal out, it's boring for everyone in the province to worship each other!"

Yang Jingzhong glanced at Tang Jiusheng helplessly, stroked his white and long eyebrows with his hand, and said with a wry smile, "Tang Gongzi, you are really still as naughty and naughty as you were when you were a child!"

Tang Jiusheng laughed, "The chief manager laughed, I was naughty and ignorant when I was a child, and I pulled a few eyebrows from you, but fortunately, you have a lot of adults, and you didn't have the same knowledge as me at that time." Oh, people say that the prime minister can support the boat in his belly, this is indeed true, you see, now the head manager has really achieved the Zhongshu order. Don't worry, I'm grown up and sensible now, and I won't pull your eyebrows anymore. ”

That year, the first emperor Huizong went to the National Teacher's Mansion to visit Tang Lao Guoshi, and heard that the six-year-old son of the National Teacher was very smart, so he specially wanted to meet Tang Jiusheng, Tang Jiusheng's mother was still alive, and took Tang Jiusheng out to see Huizong, at that time, Huizong was followed by Yang Jingzhong, the chief manager who was loyal to him.

Yang Jingzhong's natural long eyebrows, Tang Jiusheng wanted to play with his eyebrows, the emperor and the national teacher were present, Yang Jingzhong was not easy to attack, so he had to let Tang Jiusheng pull his long eyebrows, but Tang Jiusheng stiffly pulled off several blows and played, which provoked the emperor to laugh, and finally the old national teacher reprimanded his son, "Don't be rude to the chief manager!" Yang Jingzhong kept his eyebrows and was not pulled by Tang Jiusheng.

Later, the old national teacher apologized to the chief manager in private, saying that the child was stubborn and negligent in discipline, and asked the chief manager to forgive him. Although Yang Jingzhong was angry, he couldn't have a seizure, after all, he couldn't afford to offend this old guy like the national teacher. In the eyes of the emperor, the chief is just a minion, and the national teacher is far more important than him.

Tang Jiusheng, who remembered the past, smiled, turned his head sideways and instructed Ximen Yushuang, "Shuang'er, go and move a chair for the chief manager, the chief manager is a guest from afar, so you have to let the chief manager sit, you can't let the chief manager stand in the courtyard, otherwise others will laugh at our family's hospitality, what is that?"

Ximen Yushuang agreed, took out a chair from the house, and asked Yang Jingzhong to sit down. The little maid took out a small brown pear blossom wood table from the house, put it in front of Yang Jingzhong, made a pot of tea, poured it in the jade cup, put it in front of Yang Jingzhong, gave ten thousand blessings, and retreated behind Ximen Yushuang.

Tang Jiusheng smiled, "Chief Administrator, drink some tea to moisten your throat, our family's tea is a little low-end, not as good as the tribute tea in the palace, the chief manager can make do with it." ”

Yang Jingzhong was not polite, took a sip of the teacup slowly, tasted it for a while, and then nodded, "Well, the taste is lighter, but it is still a good tea." ”

Tang Jiusheng owed a debt on the recliner, "Lord Steward came to the Humble House unexpectedly today, I don't know if you have any advice?"

Yang Jingzhong said: "Our family naturally has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, I heard that Tang Gongzi won the battle against Zhu Tianba last night, and he shocked the martial arts, which is really gratifying, so our family came to congratulate Gongzi! I heard that Gongzi was slightly injured, and our family just brought some healing medicine in the palace when he left the palace this time, borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and gave Gongzi a few bottles, hoping to help Gongzi's injury." ”

Yang Jingzhong turned around and clapped his hands, "Xilu, take the medicine to Tang Gongzi." The little eunuch, who was called Xi She, came in from the outside, bowing down, holding a wooden plate with four small porcelain bottles, two green and two black.

Ximen Yushuang stepped forward to take the small porcelain vase, handed it to the little maid Ginkgo biloba, and the little eunuch Xilu said softly: "The internal administration of the green bottle, one pill a day, two days." The external application of the black bottle is also two days. After saying that, he bowed back again.

Tang Jiusheng arched his hand, "It's just a small injury, and the general manager is still worried, then I will thank the general manager first! Let's open the skylight and say something bright, we must be sure that the general manager is not for congratulations, nor will he come to deliver medicine for my insignificant illness, we are also old acquaintances, if we don't fight, we can't make a deal, it's boring to go around the bend!"

Yang Jingzhong took a sip of tea, put the teacup on the small table, and then said: "Sure enough, we like it! I don't know if Tang Gongzi is interested in coming to our East Internal Guard? If Tang Gongzi is willing to come, the Admiral of the Eastern Internal Health Department will naturally do it by our family, but the post of punishing a thousand households will be done by Gongzi, how about it?"

Tang Jiusheng laughed, "Lord Steward said that it was funny, if I wanted, wouldn't my father's position as a national teacher be hereditary by me in the future?" It's just that I have no interest in being an official, in fact, I feel very sorry for the lifters of Jiangnan Province, I took up the two of them, originally our Tang family's national teacher can be hereditary, I shouldn't go to the test for any lifting, in the end, I was still young at the time, and I had to try the talent in my chest. ”

Yang Jingzhong was displeased, "That's our family's own amorous? The head of the Eastern Internal Health Division is an important position, except for the commander and the chief governor, it is the biggest, that is, the squire and Shangshu of the six departments, and they have to be polite when they see the thousands of households in charge." ”

Tang Jiusheng sat up and said in a deep voice: "Lord Steward, I speak straight, don't be angry." I heard that the Governor of the Governor has killed a lot of officials and civilians who have spoken disrespectfully to your Governor, do you think that the reputation of Dongwei is not bad enough now? I am really afraid that the common people of the Great Shang Kingdom will drown me with spittle, and when I go underground, what face will I have to see the ancestors and ancestors of the Tang family?"

Yang Jingzhong sneered and stood up, "My Dongwei's reputation is naturally not worthy of you Tang Gongzi, then our family will not bother, farewell, Tang Gongzi should take care of his injuries!"

Yang Jingzhong turned around and was about to leave, Ximen Yushuang looked at Tang Jiusheng with a suspicious expression. Tang Jiusheng looked up to the sky and laughed, "Lord Steward, you are not very clever in this play!"

Yang Jingzhong turned around and said angrily: "Tang Gongzi, what do you mean by this? Tell me clearly, what kind of drama has our family played?"

Tang Jiusheng pointed to the chair that Yang Jingzhong had just sat on, "Lord Steward, sit down and talk, it's boring for the two of us to intrigue here, I, Tang someone, will not join Dongwei, you knew it before you came, everyone is a smart person, so why bother acting in this play?

Yang Jingzhong really turned around and sat on the chair, nodded, and gave a thumbs up, "Tang Gongzi is really not an ordinary person, this is all for you to see?" Okay, then our family will say it directly, our family is here to find Tang Gongzi to cooperate this time." I heard that Tang Gongzi is recruiting troops in Dangyang County, Jiannan Province, and that Captain Tongque is your subordinate again?"

Tang Jiusheng clasped his arms around his chest and asked quietly, "Well, there is such a thing, how did the chief manager know?"

Yang Jingzhong sneered, "In this big business country, as long as I want to know, what can be something that I, the Eastern Internal Guard, don't know? Even the princess of Pingxi, that is, your wife's second sister Ximen Yuxue, stole a few men!"

Ximen Yushuang was furious and shouted, "Yang Jingzhong, why do you slander my second sister out of thin air?"

Yang Jingzhong sat on the chair and lifted Erlang's legs, with a joking face, "Our family really doesn't have a good impression of your Ximen family, so let Dongwei investigate your second sister and second brother-in-law, it is also true that their husband and wife are not in harmony, your second brother-in-law is openly engaging in women outside, and your second sister is secretly engaging in men, and there are four or five of them in Pingxi Wangfu and the like." ”

Ximen Yushuang trembled angrily, and was about to scold, Tang Jiusheng took Ximen Yushuang's hand with his hand and signaled her not to get angry. Tang Jiusheng sat up straight with his arms crossed, "Yang Jingzhong, you came to my house to slander my second sister-in-law, you didn't give me any face, let's talk about a Mao cooperation?"

Yang Jingzhong waved his hand, "Tang Gongzi, you two have misunderstood. Our family doesn't mean not to give you face, but when it comes to the glamorous Princess Pingxi, our family not only knows where she stole the man, but even has a clear record of how long it was. A few days ago, King Pingxi and the princess had an argument because of this matter, but our family didn't mean to slander them, our family was just targeting King Pingxi. ”

Yang Jingzhong smiled apologetically at Ximen Yushuang, "Miss Yushuang, our family also asked Dongwei to investigate you, your background is innocent, I just gave an example, I hope you don't have to worry too much." You are you, your second sister is your second sister, the dragon gave birth to nine sons, and the nine sons are different. Just like your father-in-law's eldest brother Tang Jiulong, he is not the same kind of person as your father-in-law at all!"

Ximen Yushuang was still angry, and said angrily: "Dead eunuch, shut up!"

Yang Jingzhong didn't laugh angrily, "Miss Yushuang is really temperamental! Except for the first emperor, no one dares to scold our family for being a dead eunuch in front of our family! Even today, he doesn't dare!"
