I Xiaoxiong

Chapter 114

Princess Ningguo's Mansion and Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion are both located in Yongping Square in the north of the city.

Among them, the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion faces south, with a length of [-] Zhang from north to south and a width of [-] Zhang from east to west.It was originally a royal family's mansion, but it was left unoccupied because of childlessness.After Fu Jinchuan was granted the title of Marquis of Wu'an, it became his residence. ,
There is an archway in front of the gate, and then the Yimen Gate, which is used to decorate the main gate. After entering the gate, there is a corridor connecting the platform, a high platform protruding in front of the main hall of the mansion, and the platform has steps on three sides.The city is built of white jade, with east and west wing rooms and sanitation platforms on both sides.

At the back is the front hall, which is the Yin'an Hall of the former county prince's mansion. On the roof, there are ridged beasts and owl kisses, but the dragon pattern tiles have been replaced with lotus tiles.

Behind the front hall is a back garden with pavilions and pavilions, and the east and west rooms on both sides are now used as warehouses.

The back room is also the dormitory. Although it has been furnished a long time ago, Fu Jinchuan has never lived in the mansion because he stayed in the Duke's mansion for a few days after he was newlywed. After returning home, he moved directly into Princess Ningguo's mansion.

The reason why Fu Jinchuan led Zhao Yuanshu to the Marquis Mansion was also because Zhao Yuanshu took Fu Jinchuan to look at the warehouse of the Princess Mansion on purpose yesterday.

In the treasury, there are rewards and dowries that Zhao Yuanshu has received over the years.As the daughter of the first emperor, the rewards over the years have been the most generous, and before getting married, the Emperor Daojun allocated [-] mu of land from Huangzhuang to her.

And Zhao Yuanshu's mother, Empress Mingde, and uncle Xiping Hou's family also added a lot of dowry.So Zhao Yuanshu brought Fu Jinchuan here quite proudly, with the meaning of "showing off his might".

But Fu Jinchuan didn't say anything after seeing it, and the next day he took his newlywed wife to his "home" Wu'anhou Mansion.

Then he asked the housekeeper to open the east and west rooms that were temporarily used as warehouses, but Zhao Yuanshu was amazed.

"Where did you get so much money?"

Zhao Yuanshu looked carefully, and there were nearly [-] copper coins in each hanging.There are also many gold and silver utensils, as well as various jewelry of different colors, many of which are not popular styles in the Central Plains, but with obvious styles of Jinzhang, Qingtang and Western Regions.

There are also several large boxes full of gold coins circulating in the Western Regions.

Pointing to these treasures, Fu Jinchuan said: "These gold bricks are the treasury of Yuezhen Kingdom. After Xue Cong captured Chifotang City, they all belonged to him. He gave me [-]%. After all, I was in Shule City for him. blocked Qingtang's reinforcements."

"These gold and silver utensils were bought by Mr. Huang that night in Xiaoye City."

"These gold coins are all given by passing merchants. They are regarded as tolls. We provide them with defense. You see, these jewels have different qualities. They were all seized from horse thieves. I have never counted them. Go back and find a few people to check it out.”

"This silver bowl was used by Tuoba Chide, and I captured it together in the Battle of Shule."

"I still have a group of migratory locusts in Hexi, looking after more than 1 cattle, sheep and horses for me, and two or three thousand acres of land."

"these are"

After counting the items in several rooms, Fu Jinchuan took out another big wooden box.

"Inside, it's filled with land deeds and shops, which can be regarded as the family property I got from the branch government."

Zhao Yuanshu looked at the thick pile of properties, deeds, and shops and fell into deep thought. Why did he come with him?
Then Fu Jinchuan took a large bunch of keys, "I've given them to you, you can take care of them. Tonight, I'm going to Fan Lou to entertain the heroes from the capital. You don't have to wait for me for dinner."

All the newlyweds in the capital are not as rich as Zhao Yuanshu and Fu Jinchuan.

After all, the British government has accumulated a hundred years of savings. In terms of background, there are only a few in the entire capital that can be compared.The Fu family used to be thin, and they were basically handed down in the same line. When they came to Fu Xun, they became flourishing, and Fu Jinchuan was the first to separate the family, and it was still granted by meritorious service. The accumulated land and pavements were allotted to Fu Jinchuan.

The elder brothers of the Fu family have no complaints about this, and the influence of the Fu family in the army will be supported by Fu Jinchuan in the future.

Fan Lou had put up a sign long ago, saying that it was closed on the seventh day of March.This seemed unbelievable to many diners and gourmets. Only after inquiring about it did they find out that Lord Wu'an had reserved the venue and wanted to entertain the guests from Beijing.

At night, the lights are brightly lit, and all the heroes of Shangjing have arrived.All of them came to Fan Lou with their own expensive gifts, fearing that the gifts would be too light.

The little bone who opened the gambling shop hit a golden ax, which weighed 30 taels.Han Si of the car and horse gang directly hit two gold medals with auspicious words engraved on them.There are also a full set of gold jewelry and suet jade bottles.

Li Qiye paid a lot of money to buy a famous knife, and Gongsun Fu, a tycoon in the North City, asked someone to go to the south of the Yangtze River to find a pair of giant buffalo horns that can be used as a strong bow.Zhao Kang sent a tiger skin.
Anyway, heroes from all walks of life racked their brains to collect rare items as congratulatory gifts for Fu Jinchuan.

"Old Zheng, you and Zhang Kui are so powerful now!"

As the former leader of the Butcher Gang, Zheng Fengchun is the tallest of the four tycoons in the capital who accompanied the army. He is already the Zhenwei Colonel from the sixth rank, and he is also a regiment colonel in the army, commanding 300 soldiers.

Zheng Fengchun was wearing a dark green round-neck gown, with a majestic figure. He had killed countless pigs in the capital, and followed Fu Jinchuan for a few years.Because this sound is extremely terrifying.

"Hehehe, it's all thanks to Master Hou, and from a sixth-rank captain, he is really not a high-ranking official. All the subordinates around Lord Hou are random captains of the sixth and seventh ranks, which is not worth mentioning."

Ding Fengshan, who was sitting with him, said: "Old Zheng, is your subordinate still recruiting soldiers? How about letting my eldest son go to your command and become a soldier?"

When Ding Fengshan asked, many people looked at Zheng Fengchun.

But Zheng Fengchun waved his hand directly, "Old Ding, it's really not that I don't help you. Our [-] march is in the hands of the British father-in-law, and there will be a spring hunting parade in a few days. Now there is a school lieutenant in the new army. Three hundred brothers, these brothers have all seen blood from Hexi, and every army is closely watched from above."

Ding Fengshan nodded after hearing this. In fact, he also saw Zheng Fengchun, Zhang Kui, Wei Shilang and others became officials and approached Marquis Wu'an, so he was a little jealous.But he was reluctant to let him give up his current family business and go to the army for a career, so he wanted to arrange a way out for Shiliu's eldest son.

But he didn't want to go to Fu Jinchuan directly for this matter. After all, today is different. Fu Jinchuan is a Marquis of Wu'an. You just want your son to eat and pay. You can also spend some money to find the master of the Ministry of War.

Today I just watched Zheng Fengchun mention it by accident, but Zheng Fengchun refused but still gave Ding Fengshan an idea.

"If your eldest son just wants to earn food and pay, you can go to the Ministry of War and spend dozens of dollars. Isn't it easy to let your son join the Imperial Army? If your eldest son has some skills, you can simply ask Lord Hou to let him This kid is going to be a squire for Lord Hou. Lord Hou has always liked young talents who are brave and good at fighting."

Talking unintentionally, but listening intentionally.Several people who wanted to arrange a future for their nephews or brothers became alive in their hearts.

When Fu Jinchuan arrived, the guests were already full, and when they saw him coming, they all stood up to greet him.

"Thank you for a long time, everyone."

"Your Majesty, you are welcome."

"Master Hou, this is a person who is in high spirits on happy occasions."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Anyone who knows Fu Jinchuan well knows that this Lord Hou is actually very easy-going, and he doesn't take joking and laughing seriously.And there is no shelf.

Fu Jinchuan first received a toast from the group of tycoons, and then had a drink with every table guest. This approach is a courtesy to all the tycoons in Beijing.Doesn't it make you look good when you say it out?
The wine was drunk until the end of the night. Fu Jinchuan didn't ride a horse when he went back. He was in the carriage that Zhao Yuanshu had arranged for him a long time ago.

"Smelling of alcohol, I know you can't drink less." Zhao Yuanshu heard the sound of carriages and horses, and brought a few maids out to greet him.

Fu Jinchuan said with a smile: "They are all old acquaintances, and they are also from the rivers and lakes. They don't care about trivial matters, and they all value face the most. It is inevitable that they drank a few more glasses."

The two entered the back hall of the Princess Mansion together, and Zhao Yuanshu ordered hot tea and hangover soup to be prepared.

Here Fu Jinchuan was reclined on the couch, pillowed on Zhao Yuanshu's lap, and Zhao Yuanshu pinched his forehead to enjoy this unique and transcendent treatment.

After a while, the hot tea was served, and Fu Jinchuan also got up and sat up, blowing the tea while saying: "In a few days, Yaoshi Wu and He Yang will get married, what gift do you give? Yaoshi Wu gave me a jade claw a few days ago." Hai Dongqing is extremely handsome and worth thousands of gold, what kind of gift do you think we should give back?"

Although he didn't know what Wu Yaoshi's purpose was, Fu Jinchuan still understood the principle of reciprocity.Moreover, Prince Yan's Mansion did not turn against the court for a day, so the court treated Yan's Palace with courtesy.

Zhao Yuanshu thought for a while: "Don't you have some good horses? Give him a good horse, and he can get it."

When Fu Jinchuan heard this, he nodded, "I captured thousands of horses in Shule City, and some of them are Qinghai Cong. The horse I am riding now is Mihong from Liuzhi Township, Qinghai Cong. .Then I’ll give him a Qinghai Cong. And this thing is considered a noble breed in Qingtang, let alone Shangjing, it’s rare in Hexi. I only have a few horses in Shangjing.”

Rare things are valuable, just like the falcons like Haidongqing, which are native to Liaodong, and the horses like Qinghaicong.

At this time, Zhao Yuanshu reminded: "Don't just think about Wu Yaoshi, there will be the marriage between Xincheng and Feng Erlang in a few days, and the marriage between Zhao Yuanzhang and that female barbarian, and the marriage between your sister and the eldest grandson of Prince Yong's residence. "

Fu Jinchuan slapped his head, "Xincheng and Feng Erlang have a lot to say, and sending a horse from Liangzhou and Hexi is also very valuable. Zhao Yuanzhang's and Mr. Zhu's dowry will be added when the time comes. Give him the knife when the time comes. In 14, when I passed the customs with Aye, Fu Bo took a fancy to my knife and let me beat him up. Hehehe, it’s been almost four years. Who knew that this kid would become My brother-in-law."

After hearing this, Zhao Yuanshu laughed and said, "Is this the one who has called you brother-in-law for several years, but has never even seen me, my distant sister?"

Fu Jinchuan said with a smile: "Exactly, this kid was trained by Aye and me. He is barely worthy of Mr. Zhu. Anyway, he is much better than the sons of Zixungui and clan disciples in Shangjing."

Zhao Yuanshu said: "By the way, in the past few days, your grandfather's house, my uncle's house, and Uncle Zhou's and Prince Liang's houses, these elders' homes have to visit one by one, and they all have invitations."

Fu Jinchuan sighed and said, "Why are there so many things? This person who bows his head and doesn't see him when he looks up, still sends invitations?"

Zhao Yuanshu also sighed and said, "Then what can be done? When a new couple gets married, don't they all have to walk around with their relatives? Besides, we have opened a mansion, and we live in a single household. It has to be like this. If the etiquette is not thorough, why don't people make fun of the Duke's Mansion and my mother?"

Fu Jinchuan said: "That's fine, look at the arrangement. Originally, I thought about going out for a walk in the next few days, and it will be spring hunting in a few days."

Zhao Yuanshu said with a smile: "Well, you Fu Sanlang, now that you're married, leave all these trivial matters to me."

Qingtao and Hongshao at the side were secretly laughing while listening to the conversation of the two masters.In their eyes, the princess and Lord Hou, even if they are newlyweds, are not as good as the couple next to them.

On the contrary, it is more like a couple who have been married for some years, and the night light gossip is just a trivial matter of the parents.

There is no lack of warmth between the two, like gurgling water, endless.

But it is not like dry wood and raging fire. When it burns, it is scorching hot. After the fire is burnt out, only soot is left.
