Chapter 43
Kang Kunlun tilted his head and looked at her mischievously.

"...Are you a citizen of Tang Dynasty?"

Ye Qingluan pinched her waist, "You Western Regions man, you're so swollen now that you come here and ask me?"

Kang Kunlun narrowed his blue eyes narrowly, "Then why can't you figure out the key here?"

"Ah?"

His words really reminded her, she quickly searched in her mind.

After a while, she also clapped her hands and laughed.

"Of course I know, I just asked you on purpose, to test whether our Kangkang is a full-fledged Tang Dynasty person~"
.
——The royal family of the Tang Dynasty was surnamed Li. Because the original family status was not high, even if they became the emperor, they would still be looked down upon by Cui Qian and his family. Therefore, the royal family of the Tang Dynasty simply said that they were descendants of Lao Tzu (Li Er).

Since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the emperors of all dynasties have continued to honor Laozi: Tang Gaozu Li Yuan once named Laozi as the ancestor, and built palaces and palaces in Laozi's hometown; "Emperor Taishang Xuanyuan" and created the ancestral hall.

Since the Chongxuan Department is in charge of the world's monks and Taoists, its status has naturally been raised accordingly.There is no need for the imperial court to set up an additional clan mansion to manage the royal genealogy, and just hand it over to the Chongxuan Department.

Now the Chongxuan Department belongs to the "stuffed cake in the sky". It was originally a small fringe organization under the jurisdiction of Honglu Temple, but it has been transformed into the de facto patriarchal government of Datang in Datang.

The officials of the Chongxuan Administration, even though their grades were not high, may have actually improved their status because they had the opportunity to manage the royal household affairs.

Ye Qingluan figured it out, and couldn't help smiling.It was her carelessness. She had already seen something wrong with Li Gou, but she didn't think about it in time.

——Li Gou is just a small official from the ninth rank, but he has a fish bag hanging on his belt!

Ordinarily, his grade is not qualified to hang fish bags, but since he dared to hang them in public, it proves that the court must have given him special rewards.

But just relying on Li Gou, what kind of contribution could he make to win such a reward?
If he is really meritorious, then the imperial court should promote his rank first--but his old man has been promoted from a fifth-rank official wailang to a ninth-rank official, which shows that he has never established anything at all. achievement.

Then there is only one possibility for this fish bag - it is only because he became the emperor's retainer because he managed the royal family's housework, so he got this special treatment.

From this point of view, officials should not only be judged by rank, Li Gou was by no means as insignificant as he appeared on the surface.

Tsk, it seems that Grandpa Wu Niang is really worth exploring.
.
A hand stretched out in front of her eyes, brushing away all the images of Li Gou in front of her eyes.

She came back to her senses, and met Kang Kunlun's dumbfounded eyes.

"What are you thinking about? Didn't you test me? Why did you get stuck first?"

She bared her teeth and grinned, "You passed the test! You will ask me back, which shows that you have grown a lot in the past two years!"

There was still a smile in his eyes, but he turned his head slightly to hide his melancholy.

"...How dare you not use your energy when you are in the court?"

Ye Qingluan's heart trembled, and he quickly grabbed his arm.

"Well, Kangkang, it's hard for you. I understand."

He is a native of the Western Regions, although the current official is still in charge of the barbarians, but he has a rank after all, he is an official appointed by the court, so naturally he has to walk in the court, and he must also make friends with officials from the Tang Dynasty in the court.

When she first bought him at the dental shop two years ago, he was just a child; in just two years, he has forced himself to grow up.

Looking at him now, he was already more mature and calm than herself.

All the "precocious" people in this world are forced to grow up.

She couldn't help asking softly, "...do you regret joining the court as an official?"

It was she who made the decision for him back then.

Because this child is like her uncle back then, who has no other abilities except studying, and is quite noble in his bones, so he is doomed to be unable to carry shoulders, lift hands, and even do business. .

His uncle was lucky to have her to support him; but Kangkang had to find a way to settle down in Datang by himself.

If you are a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, since you can study, you can still take the imperial examination.

But he is a fool.Even if the Tang Dynasty later allowed Hu people to take part in the imperial examination, it was a long and difficult road after all.So she helped him find a more convenient way - to use illusion to win over the priest of the Fire God Temple.

If he regrets it today, then she is also to blame.

She poked the dimple on his elbow lightly with her finger, "Kangkang, I'm sorry."

Kang Kunlun smiled and raised his hand to pat the back of her hand.

"Don't overthink it."

He was still not at ease, Tete bent down to find her eyes, "...I was willing to do so, why do you want to say I'm sorry?"

Ye Qingluan fixed his eyes, "Really?"

He slowly broke into a smile, "It's absolutely true."

Only then did Ye Qingluan heave a sigh of relief, "If you don't want to be an official in the future, then just resign and not do it! At that time, when all my joint stores open, I'll give you one!"

"Anyway, you won't be hungry when the time comes!"

She is quite confident about her future business layout!

Moreover, by then... She has already finished her revenge, right?

Letting go of her hatred, she can finally relax, take her cubs, and live the rest of the Tang Dynasty well... Or try to become the richest woman in the Tang Dynasty?
He looked at the soft light gradually rising on her face, and stretched his eyebrows, "Okay."

He paused, tilted his head and asked, "By then, the uncle will be married too, right?"
.
accident.

She was a little choking, and hurriedly lowered her head and coughed.

Just coughing, looking up and smiling, "Oh, you are more worried about him than I am a professional Xi lady. Kangkang, what's the matter, do you also want to be a 'Xi Langjun' and steal my business?"

He also laughed, "Who dare...I naturally bow my head and surrender."

He made a gesture to kneel down in front of her.

She couldn't help laughing, "Don't tell me! I said you people from the Western Regions, why do you kneel when you see people? Don't make trouble, get up quickly."

When he got up, his fingertips brushed her skirt very naturally.

He didn't get up in a hurry, so he raised his head and smiled at her in this posture, "I prostrate myself under your pomegranate skirt."

Ye Qingluan could only laugh out loud to cover up her embarrassment and embarrassment.

What Kang Kang said is also reasonable. She is Xi Niangzi, and her "professional attire" is naturally a red skirt.Therefore, it is not "pomegranate skirt".

"...If Pu Pu sees it, don't you think that you also want to worship me as your mother? Then I will become Pu Pu's grandmother!"

Kang Kunlun smiled helplessly, stood up and stared at her, "Nonsense again."
.
His attitude made her a little strange.

She could only respond with a smirk, "Ahaha, Kangkang criticized me."

Kang Kunlun's face was also slightly flushed.

He is from the Western Regions, and his skin is fairer; in addition, as a priest, he serves the gods, and his heart is far more steadfast than ordinary people, so even she seldom sees him blushing.

She chased after him, "Is our Kangkang really blushing?"

Kang Kunlun couldn't hide, so he simply stopped and let her watch.

Although slightly embarrassed, the corners of his lips curled up happily, "...Also, don't call Pu Changhai 'Pu Pu'."
