The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1266 Returning to Zhuangzi

Now Xuan Shijing is thinking about Zhuangzi's affairs, and he plans to go to Zhuangzi's college after returning, to visit Gao Shilian, and see how the children in Zhuangzi are doing. .

The three of them went back to Zhuangzi, and there was nothing to clean up. They just took a cloak and got into the carriage. The driver drove the carriage towards the outside of the city.

"Husband, when you go to court today, can your father set a reward for you?" Jin Yang asked.

Speaking of this topic, Qin Bingyue also showed anticipation on his face.

"Yes, he has entered the Duke of Jinyang and is the third-rank crown prince Zhan Shi." Xuan Shijing said, "As for other rewards, they are optional."

His Majesty Li Er rewarded a lot of goods, but in the eyes of Xuan Shijing, these things are really dispensable. Royal things are good, but there is no shortage of them in the Houfu. You can also buy it in your hand. To put it bluntly, the Xuan family is not short of money.

"Duke of Jinyang County!" Qin Bingyue exclaimed, "Your Majesty actually gave the land of Jin to your husband as a title."

"It sounds surprising at first, but if you think about it carefully, that's what happened." Jin Yang said with a smile: "The concubine's title is Jinyang, and Jinyang County is also the fiefdom of the concubine. , now that my husband is enfeoffed as Duke of Jinyang County, the fiefdom is still in Dongshan County, because this Jinyang County is already our family's land, even if there is any change in the future, it will be a matter of the concubine's death, and the husband's This Duke of Jinyang is only in the name of Jindi."

"Sizi is right, but this Jinyang is different from other places for the Tian family, but my father gave me the title of Duke of Jinyang County. This is a favor." Xuan Shijing sighed and laughed. : "But other than that, it's not without any other benefits. The fiefdom of Dongshan County has expanded sixty miles eastward."

Xuan Shijing used to be the Marquis, and Dongshan County’s fief was given according to the title of the Marquis. Now that he has become a Duke of the county, the fief should naturally be expanded. As for Jinyang County, it is still the fief of Princess Jinyang. There is no change in size.

When Jin Yang was a child, his health was not as good as it is now. His Majesty Li Er directly gave his beloved daughter the title of Princess Jin Yang. He wanted to use the blessing of the Li family's dragon prosperity to protect his daughter's health. Later, Jin Yang His body gradually became healthy after the imperial physician's conditioning and acquired exercise, so His Majesty Li Er was relieved.

His Majesty Li Er had many children who died before they were born, and some of them didn't even have names, not to mention titles. Therefore, Jin Yang's body when he was a child made His Majesty Li Er worry a lot.

There are quite a few Buddhist pagodas outside Chang'an City. When Jin Yang was young, His Majesty Li Er used the proceeds from Princess Jin Yang's fiefdom to order them to be built, just to pray for his daughter.

"Husband is still young now, and the days to come are still long." Jin Yang said with a smile: "So the current position of the Duke of the County is just right."

Xuan Shijing nodded: "Well, that's right, it's just that there is still the official position of the prince Zhan Shi, who is the third rank, and maybe I can guess a thing or two about your father's thoughts. In the next few years, your husband and I don't care. Whether it is an official position or a title, there will be no progress."

"Your Majesty wants your husband to assist the Crown Prince, and this is to leave room for the Crown Prince." Qin Bingyue pointed out.

"That's true." Xuan Shijing laughed.

I just don't know how much His Majesty Li Er's body can last. The Zhenguan Dynasty in history was only more than 20 years old. Now it is the 21th year of Zhenguan, and in a few months, it will enter the [-]st year of Zhenguan.

"By the way, my father asked me to bring you a sentence, telling you to go to the palace more often when you have nothing to do. The father and mother miss you very much in the palace." Xuan Shijing Said: "However, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and then you will stay in the palace for two more days."

"Well, let's wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival and then enter the palace, and stay in the palace for two more days. Speaking of the time when my husband went to Liaodong and came back, I really didn't have much time to go into the palace to see my father and mother. Well, it's really disrespectful."

"Okay, after I leave, you need to help take care of such a big village, as well as the Shenhou Mansion, thank you for your hard work, now that I'm back, you can take a good rest and do whatever you want , don’t worry about it.” Xuan Shijing said.

Back at Zhuangzi, the carriage stopped at the gate of the Houfu mansion. After the imperial decree from the Ministry of Education came down, the plaque of the mansion would have to be remade.

"You guys go back first, it's still early, I'll go to Zhuangzi for a walk." Xuan Shijing said.

"Husband, let's go back to the mansion first, at least you have to change the clothes on your body." Jin Yang covered his mouth and smiled.

Xuan Shijing lowered his head and looked at himself. He was still wearing an official uniform. It was really not good to go out like this, so he got out of the carriage and asked the driver to wait outside for a while, then he, Jinyang and Qin Bingyue went back to the mansion .

Jin Yang went directly to Wang's place and reported to Wang that Xuan Shijing was rewarded in Chang'an City Palace, while Xuan Shijing and Qin Bingyue went back to the room, and under Qin Bingyue's service, they put on Wear regular clothes.

Xuan Shijing, who was dressed in blue uniform, went out, got into the carriage, and ordered the coachman to detour from the market on Zhuangzi to the college.

The market on Zhuangzi was as bustling as ever. In late autumn, all the dealers in the farmer's gate had already harvested. In addition, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days. There were many people who came out to buy things. The market was lively and busy. Cargo merchants come and go on the Dongshan Lake wharf to pick up and restock.

After the farmer's family is idle, they will go to the wharf to find a job to carry the goods for the merchants. Some are calculated by the day, some are calculated by the goods, and at least they can get a few copper coins.

It's just that in the past few days, the job of porter on the dock has become more competitive, because the dealers have finished collecting, and young and strong people from several nearby villages will also come to Dongshan County to find a job and earn some money to subsidize their work. Fan's house.

It is precisely because of this that the dealers on Zhuangzi are more diligent. They have to go to the pier to guard before dawn in the morning. For some things, they are first come, first served.

Going out of the market, the carriage walked slowly towards the higher-lying college. After walking for a long time, Xuan Shijing got off the carriage when he reached the gate of the college. Some horse grass to feed the horses.

Xuan Shijing entered the courtyard from the main entrance, and heard the sound of reading in the school, there was a gazebo outside the courtyard, but he saw Gao Shilian in the gazebo, drinking a pot of tea by himself.

"The student has met the teacher." Xuan Shijing walked to Gao Shilian's side and bowed to salute.

"Xuanhou, I heard that you returned to Chang'an the day before yesterday, come and sit down." Gao Shilian called Xuan Shijing to sit down.
