Yutai Bi

Chapter 84 Confession
"I'm teasing you." Du Jingshu shook her hand, looked back, and saw that the second son Yuchi welcomed Li Shangzhi and Du Yansui to the martial arts field in the outer courtyard, and said with a light smile, "Look at them Three. The second son of Yuchi is a school lieutenant in the Youbalin Army. Your second uncle is in Zhechong Mansion. My ninth brother joined Qianniuwei. Actually, if your grandfather didn’t become an official, your second uncle could also enter Yulin Jun and Qianniuwei..."

After some explanations, Cen Sanniang finally understood roughly.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were inner government soldiers and outer government soldiers.The Zhechong Mansion where Li Shangzhi lived belonged to the Foreign Mansion, which generally consisted of the children of officials below the sixth rank and sons of good families.Neifu soldiers recruit the children of officials of the sixth rank and above, and they can also be hereditary.The father is dead, and the son can top the quota and continue to hold the iron rice bowl and so on.

To put it more simply, the Habayashi Army guards the gates of the imperial palace, and the Qianniu Guards are the personal guards in the backyard.

When the soldiers of Zhechong Mansion came to fight, they wanted to pull them out to see Zhenzhang.The Habayashi Army and Qianniuwei are the emperor's personal guards, who stay at home as bodyguards.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were nine temples and five prisons, which corresponded to six departments of officials, households, soldiers, criminals, and criminals.The eldest son of Yuchi served as Wei Weiqing, who was the head of the nine temples of the third rank, and was only a piece shorter than the Minister of the Ministry of War.In charge of the country's arsenal, in charge of the ceremonial guards for the high priests and the emperor's travels, etc.The position is important, and he often shows his face in front of the emperor.It can be called a red man.Completely inherited Yuchi Gong's original status.In the future when the Yuchi Mansion will be separated, he is also the best candidate for the head of the family.

Compared with his elder brother, Yuchi Baoshu is a bastard.As usual, he entered a place where children from meritorious families like the Habayashi Army gathered together, and mixed up with a seventh-rank school lieutenant, who was in charge of a ten-member team.But the Habayashi Army is the emperor's personal guard, and has gathered a large number of high-ranking children, so the Qiu family is so arrogant.

Li Shangzhi's Zhechong Mansion is stationed in the Gyeonggi area of ​​Guannei Road, and he is the second lieutenant general in the battalion.From the official to the sixth rank.Seeing that there is no glory of the Habayashi Army, in fact, there is real skill in leading soldiers under his hands.

Compared with these two, Du Yansui appointed Qianniuwei's general, and there was only one leading general Qianniuwei.The second-in-command of the emperor's bodyguard, not to mention his martial arts skills, is also extremely trusted by the emperor.The weight and future are not comparable to that of the Second Young Master Yuchi and Li Shangzhi.

Cen Sanniang shivered.Isn't Du Yansui a member of Li Jiancheng's 27 hidden guards?Senior undercover agent and assassin?If he was a man, wouldn't it be convenient to kill Tang Gaozong if he wanted to raise the flag for rebellion?
Du Jingshu proudly said to Cen Sanniang: "Sanniang, my ninth brother is very capable. He left home when he was young. He is today not because of the glory of his grandfather and my Jingzhao Du family."

Cen Sanniang's heart trembled, and she asked casually, "When did your ninth brother return to Du's house?"

"Brother Jiu went to Lingnan with my third uncle when I was young. Then my third uncle passed away, and he didn't know where he went after returning to Du's house for more than half a year. But every year he remembered to bring gifts to all the brothers and sisters in the family. After he came back last year, my father said that he would not leave in the future.”

Cen Sanniang let out a long sigh of relief.She was sure that Du Yansui was Kong Qing.

She seemed to have a picture scroll called Infernal Affairs unfolded in front of her eyes.Seven or eight-year-old Du Yansui and a group of children of the same age let Teng Wang and Jinshang choose together.At the age of seven or eight, Du Yansui understood the truth and conspired with His Royal Highness Prince Jin, who was only ten years old, to go undercover next to the 13-year-old King Teng.

The more she thought about it, the more surprised she became. So, Du Yansui is still a double undercover agent?While gaining Jinshang's trust, Li Jiancheng is still a hidden guard at the same time?

Cen Sanniang instantly wanted to say thank you to Du Yansui.It's too wise to deny yourself.It's great to turn your back on yourself.She will pray to God and Buddha to bless Du Yansui to continue to carry the identity of the Jingzhao Du family and continue to be a promising general.This means that Li Jiancheng's hidden guards will no longer come to contact him.

As long as there are no hidden guards, Mrs. Li has no intention of exposing his identity.Wasn't Li Jiancheng also named the hidden prince later?He also adopted a son from the clan to inherit his incense.For her genuine granddaughter who will not reveal her identity, even if the emperor knew about it, she would turn a blind eye to it.

People seized the throne and passed it on to the second generation.The world is stable and the economy continues to prosper.If you suddenly jump out and want to rebel, the right time, place and people can't take advantage of it.Not to mention that she has no intention of treason at all.If one day, other hidden guards find her.I'm sorry, but she just passed through and doesn't value blood and family ties. Maybe she will sell all the hidden guards just to survive.

Thinking of this, Cen Sanniang became much happier.

If she knew that she was not Li Jiancheng's granddaughter at all, Cen Sanniang would wake up laughing from her dream, and she was still worried about wool!
While talking, the two were welcomed into the backyard.

Cen Siniang and Yuchi Baozhu were impatient for waiting.Baozhu, the third daughter of Yuchi's family, also wore a Hu suit at home.She is 17 years old this year, her hair is tied in a golden crown, her appearance is not beautiful, but she is upright, her skin is a healthy wheat color, and her eyes are shining like black grapes.

As soon as Yuchi Baozhu saw it, he often moved in the sun.Unlike other wealthy ladies Cen Sanniang has seen.The autumn sun in Leyouyuan is not shining at all, but after riding a horse, they can get together to discuss whether to use pearl powder for face or to use goat milk and egg white to whiten the face, and the chat can't be over.

In the past, Cen Sanniang rarely saw Yuchi Baozhu when she went to the mansion.She was actually here today, Cen Sanniang understood after thinking about it.This Yuchi girl who is not afraid of the sun and tanned skin may also be a cockfighting enthusiast.

Sure enough, after seeing the ceremony, Yuchi Baozhu yelled: "Eleven Niang, the second sister-in-law said that she would give you a fighting cock. You must like this, when will we have a competition?"

Du Jingshu actually smiled and said: "Today is fine. Si Niang wants to give me a game cock. I think the family must also love game cocks, so I brought one here."

After a few words, it was about cockfighting. Cen Siniang saw that my sister-in-law and Du Jingshu were rubbing their hands together, so she didn't bother to sit and drink tea anymore, so she simply ordered someone to go to the cockfight hall to prepare.He also asked someone to inform Li Shangzhi and the other three.Take the girl and mother-in-law to the back garden in a mighty way.

Yuchi Baozhu and Du Jingshu were chatting happily, at this moment Cen Sanniang seized the opportunity to ask Cen Siniang: "Fourth Sister seems to be very concerned about Sister Jingshu?"

Cen Siniang smiled, and said in a low voice: "Baozhu is seventeen years old, my father-in-law got a daughter, and he dotes on her very much. I want to marry the Du family, and I fell in love with Du Yansui."

"Huh?" Cen Sanniang recalled that day when the five roasted deer girls surrounded Du Yansui, and Wei Xiaowan seemed to have taken a fancy to him too.She couldn't help but curse secretly, Du Yansui, you rotten peach blossom!

Seeing Cen Sanniang's surprised face, Cen Siniang continued to explain to her: "Accordingly, Du Yanwan is his biological sister, so I should be friends with Du Yanwan. His brother and sister lost their father since childhood, and the marriage is decided by Mrs. Du. Mrs. Du I am a widow at home and stay at home. My father-in-law is not convenient to come to the door, so I thought about going through the head of the Du family. The head of the Du family is the father of Shi Niang, so I made friends with Shi Niang in every possible way. .”

Duke Yuchi's mansion and Jingzhao Du's family are also well-matched.Generally, when a large family is married, the two families have basically reached a consensus before the matchmaker comes to the door.There will be no scenes where one party refuses to embarrass the other.It is also necessary to find a safe middleman in private to match the bridge.If the marriage fails, it won't hurt face.

As Yu Chigong, it was naturally inconvenient to meet Mrs. Du in person.Although the eldest son Yuchi is in front of Wei Weiqing, the old father is still there, so it is not his turn to make decisions about the sister's marriage.So I thought of Patriarch Du.

Cen Siniang accidentally met Du Jingshu in Leyouyuan, and for the sake of her position in the mansion, she seized the opportunity to make friends with Du Jingshu.

Thinking about coming to Yuchi's house, he knew that the chief of the Du clan was a cockfighting enthusiast.Whether Du Jingshu likes it or not, she will be happy to get a good breed of fighting cock for her father.

It's just that Du Jingshu herself didn't expect to like this way.Cen Siniang took the opportunity to invite her to the house, which led to the friendship between Yuchi Baozhu and Du Jingmei.

There were so many thoughts in her mind, but at that time, Cen Siniang went along with the flow and made friends with Du Jingshu very naturally.Cen Sanniang couldn't help admiring her: "Fourth sister is a very smart person."

Cen Siniang was selected by the palace and married again.Her mind was completely different from when she was a lady at home, she shook Cen Sanniang's hand and said seriously: "Sanniang, I tell you this frankly because you are also the daughter of Cen's family. Don't worry about the thoughts of my children in Hongzhou. When I arrived in Chang'an and married into Yuchi's mansion, I realized how happy I was when I was unmarried at home. Fortunately, my second uncle works in Chang'an, and you also came to Chang'an, otherwise I wouldn't even have a natal family to talk to."

Cen Sanniang noticed the difference after a little thought.

Yuchi Baozhu was 17 years old, and Cen Siniang was also 17 years old.The former is still flying and playing cockfighting, but Cen Siniang is carefully planning the marriage for the younger sister, trying her best to be the daughter-in-law of the Yuchi family.In the future, when the old Duke Yuchi left, Cen Siniang made friends with his sister-in-law and took good care of her sister-in-law.Even if Yuchi Baoshu has no future, her family has broken bones and tendons, and her husband and wife still have a family to rely on.

Maternal family?Cen Sanniang was at a loss when she thought about what Xu said to Baicao today.For a moment, she was a little envious of Cen Siniang.When she was a girl, Mrs. Cen San made plans for her, and when she got married, she had her husband's family and her mother's family to rely on.I have none of it.Also live in fear.

No, she also has a vision and chic that Siniang doesn't have.She will not stick to one family or one country.As long as she is given a chance, she will live a different life.

Thinking of this, Cen Sanniang felt calm.

Cen Siniang's slightly sad emotions disappeared in an instant, and said with a smile: "Hey, Mr. Xiang and the others arrived before us."
