"The eldest prince has just returned from the northern barbarian border, so I hurriedly ran here to tell you the good news."

Xiao Cui said excitedly while panting.

Although Xiao Cui looked out of breath, Wang Yuanfeng knew that running from the gate to his courtyard was not less than five miles, and it was really not easy to run over like this, but there was no sweat at all, Wang Yuanfeng had long known that this Xiao Cui was not simple.

Ordinary people will sweat a little even if a warrior runs five miles, but how old is Xiao Cui, fifteen years old. Even if you cultivate martial arts, you can't be very high, because you are used to seeing this, and you don't feel strange.

His eldest brother is Wang Yuanhong, who loves martial arts and is bold, although he did not propose to dig a hole at the beginning, but as the boss, he believes that he took the lead in Wu'anhou.

It is estimated that it is impossible to hide anything from the Hou of Wu'an in any part of the Hou Mansion, so he was sent from Shengjing to the northern border, and it has been two years, and he only came back today. Just said.

"Big brother is back, then I'll go over and take a look. ”

Xiao Cui said again.

"The eldest prince also brought a woman, very beautiful, before entering the door, he said that he was not feeling well, you said that he was not feeling well, you said it was strange, I think there must be something wrong with this woman. ”

It's really weird, when the Hou Mansion was built, it was designed by the Taixu Guan Taoist official, it was designed for the Tibetan wind to gather qi and nourish the body and mind, which is really strange, but Xiao Cui said so, it is estimated that it must be eight or nine inseparable, although I don't know how she saw it, but the cultivation is definitely higher than herself, so she asked.

"Where did the eldest brother bring the girl?

"I don't know, anyway, seeing that the eldest young master cares about her very much, I asked Xiaolian to send her to the eldest young master's courtyard. ”

"Oh?"

Wang Yuanfeng was puzzled for a moment, and didn't think much about it, maybe it was the woman that the eldest brother liked?

It doesn't seem that the fifth princess has a marriage contract with him, or the fifth princess has not been married, and it is impossible to go to his place to rest.

There must not be as rash as a woman, and it is impossible for the two families to visit each other like this if they are not married. I guess I found it as a concubine. said to Xiao Cui.

"Let's go, let's go over and meet the eldest brother. ”

Xiao Cui hesitated for a moment and said.

"The Ouchi guards are still staring at the people here, it's not good. ”

"It's okay, when they are terracotta figurines, it's been two years, I got out of that hole and they didn't say anything, this time the situation is special, the special situation is special treatment, it's okay. Seeing that Xiao Cui was a little hesitant, he said.

Xiao Cui thought about it, and it was also the same reason, the few young masters were digging the hole at the beginning, but then it felt too slow, so she called some maids of the same age. And I was involved in that time, so I knew it. In the past two years, the fourth young master has gone out to play in that hole, even if he has drilled twice, and the Ouchi guards who are staring at it here have not said anything, probably pretending not to see it. He nodded and said.

"Okay. ”

Wang Yuanfeng took his sword, the three-foot Qingfeng, hung the three-foot Qingfeng on his waist, and walked out of the courtyard door with Xiaocui towards the place of the family hall.

At this time, although the atmosphere of the Great Liang Dynasty emphasized literature over martial arts, the Wang family established the family with martial arts, assisted by literature, or those who were biased, but they were both civil and military.

Whether it is a son's family or a young lady, they will all be able to use both martial arts, but they are either high or low.

So as long as the Wang family man goes out, he will hang a sword.

But no matter what, there is one thing that must be learned.

It is the mental art of measuring people's hearts, the study of self-cultivation and housekeeping, the principle of dealing with people, and the military science of distinguishing conspiracies and tricks. These are things that must be learned, so the Wang family has lasted for thousands of years. Because it is too realistic, it seems to be more practical and based on interests. Therefore, he was considered a villain by Wenchen and a concubine by the generals.

Just when Wang Yuanfeng and Xiaocui went out to the family hall, sure enough, a few guards who were staring at him seemed to pretend not to see it.

It's not that I really didn't see it, but I really didn't see it, and this is all thanks to the status of Wu Anhou and Wang Yuanfeng's grandfather's money.

First, the status of Wu'an Hou is superb, and secondly, Wang Yuanfeng's grandfather is the richest man in Jiangnan, Jia Wanqian, so even if the Hou Mansion has no income, as long as the Jia family is there, there is no shortage of money.

I have to say that the three wives and four concubines of Wu'an Hou, officials above the third grade, pay attention to three wives and four concubines, one wife, two flat wives, and four concubines.

The main wife, Liu, is the eldest lady of Wu'an, and has a son and a daughter, Wang Yuanhong, the eldest son of the Hou Mansion, and Wang Ling'er, the second lady. Moreover, the eldest lady is the daughter of General Zhenyuan, General Zhenyuan is a general, an official residence, stationed on the border of Beizhou for a long time, and leads 100,000 troops.

Ping's wife, Zhang, is the second wife of Wu'an Hou, has a son and a daughter, Wang Yuanling, the second son of Houfu, and Wang Xin'er, the eldest lady. His father is a scholar of the household department, and he is also considered to have an extraordinary status. There are many protégés and former officials in the court, and their influence is grand.

Jia's wife, the third lady of Wu'anhou, has three sons, the third son Wang Yuanxing, the fourth son Wang Yuanfeng, and the sixth son Wang Yuanqing. His father was Jia Wanqian, a merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, who was rich enough to rival the country.

The four concubines also have extraordinary backgrounds, and they have three daughters and one son for Wu'an Hou, the fifth son Wang Yuanqing, the third miss Wang Rong'er, the fourth miss Wang Shuang'er, and the fifth miss Wang Shuang'er.

It can be said that Wu Anhou can have today's status, and his wives and concubines have also played a big role.

There are these people who have a planned greeting to these Ouchi guards, and these guards are also human beings after all, and they will also add some meat to their meals.

These inner guards seem to be in the wind and rain outside, but the Hou Mansion definitely does not lose a cent of their money for tea and wine, which can be regarded as a fat difference.

Therefore, as long as Wang Yuanfeng goes out, as long as he is not known by the ninth princess, it is estimated that there is nothing to do, and as for the emperor, it is estimated that he has long forgotten about it. So I continued to be a terracotta warrior and stood there staring at the courtyard.

......

This time, Wang Yuanhong went home, but it meant that he was returning to his hometown. From leaving Shengjing, he was promoted from an idle guard to a third-rank general, and he returned to Beijing to face the saint.

The general was a third-grade military general in the Great Liang Dynasty and needed to be awarded by the emperor himself. That's why he came to Shengjing this time to face the saint. is also considered to be a high authority, although his own rights open the way, and money is indispensable at all, but Wang Yuanqing's ability cannot be ignored.

Charging on the battlefield, often making military exploits, and having extraordinary martial arts, it is logical for these three-grade military attachés to get their hands on it.

The two arrived near the gate of the Hou Mansion, because Wang Yuanfeng's courtyard was remote and not in the Inner Mansion, unlike the Inner Mansion where the family affairs hall could be reached directly, so they had to pass through the front hall and the back hall to get to the house affairs hall, and this gate was a necessary way, and suddenly heard someone making noise in front of them. Wang Yuanfeng and Xiaocui walked near a rockery and looked at the people in front of them.

What caught his eye was several family members of the Hou Mansion, who were confronting a person dressed as a guard at the gate, and the family Ding saw that he was dressed as a family member in his Hou Mansion and the guard didn't know him, as if he was dressed as a guard next to the King of Nine Mountains.

I saw a family member say proudly.

"The little prince finally came once, quickly notify the Hou Mansion to come out and kneel to greet him, if the little prince is happy, it will also be a kind of creation for your Hou Mansion. ”

The seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, although the Marquis of Wu An, although he is high and powerful, he can't tilt the power to the government and the opposition, and there are many people who are not convinced of him, this King of Jiushan is one of them, even if he is a guard in front of the prince of Jiushan, not many people dare to oppose it in Shengjing.

Although the king of Jiushan is in the land of Dongzhou, but his son is in Shengjing, although the fief of the king of Jiushan in Dongzhou is not large, there are also 30,000 horses, plus in recent years, the emperor has been bent on refining the elixir of immortality, and there are folk rumors that the king of Jiushan has the emperor's destiny, which has caused the only son of the king of the nine mountains, Li Gongzi, to act domineering and have no scruples. Even his subordinates are also arrogant.

Because there is the King of Nine Mountains in Dongzhou, it will not lead to chaos, so the emperor will take this matter as a rumor that slanders the King of Nine Mountains, and he will not pay much attention to it, as long as the King of Nine Mountains in Dongzhou does not rebel, there will be no chaos.

The guard didn't pay attention to himself, and suddenly became a little angry and said.

"Hurry up and show me the way, delay your Hou Mansion kneeling to welcome the little prince, can you bear it?"

A few family members still stood in front of this guard, but they didn't let a single step.

I didn't pay attention to him, this person didn't pay respects, and he was arrogant, and the guards of the Hou Mansion knew that all the people who were the King of the Nine Mountains, including Li Gongzi, the son of the King of the Nine Mountains, were not allowed to enter the Hou Mansion.

So he just said that he broke his throat, and his few people did not receive an order, even if the knife was put on his neck, he would not let him in.

The guard hated this kind of person who looked down on him the most, and he held the hilt of his sword and prepared to do it. Wang Yuanfeng walked out from behind the rockery with Xiaocui and said.

"What are you doing, where did the wild dogs come to the gate of the Hou Mansion to spread wild. ”

I didn't find out that this thing is nothing, but if I found out, I can't ignore it, looking at a sedan chair in the distance, and a group of guards who are waiting for the battle, I know at a glance that I am not here to contact the relationship, but the person who is looking for something is more similar.

If you really make a move, there will only be four guards in the Hou Mansion, but there are dozens of people over there, maybe with Li Gongzi's character, they will really break into the door, and it will be the Hou Mansion who will lose face at that time, even if Li Gongzi is caught afterwards, he can't do anything to him, at most he will be beaten.

Wang Yuanfeng walked to the door and looked at the guard with disdain.

A few of the housekeepers bowed down and shouted.

"The Fourth Son. ”

"Hmm. Wang Yuanfeng nodded at a few guards, ignored the guards, and looked at the sedan chair in the distance.

The sedan chair was carried by sixteen people, eight people, four people, and two people, but I had never seen seven people carry it.

I saw that the sedan chair was hung with pearl jade agate, the top cover of agarwood, the body of pear blossom wood, and even the pole used by the sedan chair man to carry the sedan chair was made of nanmu, and the sedan curtain was red, but it was definitely not to marry, Wang Yuanfeng only had one word to describe it, that is, vulgar.

But this is okay, the key is that the sedan chair is carried by seven people, and the sedan chair is carried by the yang people without odd, and the building emphasizes the yang people with odd and not even.

Even numbers are used to carry sedan chairs for the living, and singular numbers are used to carry coffins for the dead. In architecture, half of the living people are used in singular, and only in dead artificial coffin tombs are used in even numbers.

I don't know what this Li Gongzi means by carrying a sedan chair for himself with seven people.

The emperor traveled sixteen lifts, the important ministers of the court used eight to carry the sedan chair, the third grade and below the four lifts, and the petty officials and officials used two to lift, of course, the people could not use it in ordinary times.

But only when they get married, they are promoted to one level, the people use two to lift their relatives, the small officials and small officials use four to lift, the middle officials can use eight to lift, and the important ministers of the court use sixteen to lift, as long as they meet the sedan chair on the road, even the emperor's relatives will also avoid it slightly.

But although Li Gongzi's sedan chair is a bit like taking a kiss, Wang Yuanfeng knows that this is definitely not a marriage. If you meet yourself on the way to get married, you can avoid it.

But as Li Gongzi, he can use eight sedan chairs to take relatives, and usually only four people can carry them, but what does it mean to use seven people to carry them?
