Start practicing from marrying a disfigured princess

Chapter 3 First Sign In

Great Zhou, the capital.

In March and April in spring, the breeze blows slightly, and the drizzle like feathers falls from the sky. In the suburbs, the birds sing, the swallows sing, the pear flowers are white, and the eyes are full of fresh green, and flowers bloom everywhere.

Although it was light rain, there were still many pedestrians on the streets of the city. Some were carrying goods, some were in a hurry, and some were holding oil-paper umbrellas, stopping to enjoy the view of the Shantang River.

Amidst the noise all over the street, a convoy slowly approached from the city gate.

The carriage was in the middle, and there were ten black-armored guards at the front and back, with swords across the waist and back, with a chilling air.

The Great Zhou established the country with military force, and the capital couldn't help but use weapons, but after all, it was at the feet of the emperor, no matter the three religions or nine streams, they would restrain themselves a lot when they entered the city gate, and it was common for them to remove their armor.

It is really rare for a team like this to enter the city in armor.

Pedestrians looked sideways and saw the small characters in official script printed on the black armor - Ren.

A well-informed person immediately realized that the convoy in front of him came from the northern border.

Combined with the previous rumors, someone suddenly said: "It turns out that the prince of Zhenbei has arrived!"

Immediately afterwards, in the streets and alleys, groups of people from the rivers and lakes began to discuss in low voices.

"I heard that the prince of Zhenbei received the imperial edict. Instead of evading it, he wept excitedly, saying that he has always admired Princess Chang'an, but was unable to meet her because he was in the northern border. Now he finally got what he wanted. I am so grateful." , I don’t know what is being said, and I don’t know if it’s true or not.”

"Regardless of whether it is true or not, if he can still say that after seeing Princess Chang'an, I respect him as a man."

"how do I say this?"

"Princess Chang An has been poisoned by Gu, and her appearance has been completely ruined. I heard that even the maids who served her since she was a child often wake up from nightmares when they see her current appearance."

"Speaking of which, the main thing is that Princess Chang An has not been disfigured, so how can it be his turn to take the position of the son-in-law."

"It makes sense."

Ren Pingsheng ignored the discussions of the common people on the street and in the carriage.

At this moment, he is staring at the system interface without squinting, waiting for the word [sign in] to light up.

The 20-year wait was about to come to an end. At this moment, Ren Pingsheng was extremely nervous. He even began to worry about whether there would be a bug in the system.

As the carriage moved forward, the heartbeat continued to accelerate.

Finally, at the moment when the carriage passed Pingqiao Street, the word [Sign in] on the system interface lit up.

coming!

Ren Pingsheng was short of breath, and silently said "sign in" in his mind.

In the next second, a synthetic voice without any emotion rang in his ears.

[Sign in successfully, get the heavenly skill "Longevity Kung Fu"]

Accompanied by the sound, streams of mysterious exercises and formulas poured into Ren Pingsheng's mind like a torrent.

Essence can transform qi, when full of essence, qi will be strong, qi can generate spirit, strong qi will make the spirit vigorous, vigorous spirit will make the body healthy, the five viscera will be enriched inside, and the skin will be moisturized and radiant on the outside.

The name "Longevity Kungfu" sounds like a secret book that an old Chinese doctor on the street coaxed an ignorant young woman to come up with, but it is actually a top-notch exercise that nourishes oneself with the aura of heaven and earth!
Cultivate to the highest level, you can live forever!

"The first time you sign in, it's a top-notch exercise. It's not in vain that I've worked so hard for 20 years, and it's still a cough cough."

The past is unbearable to look back on. With a system, breaking through to the eighth rank is just around the corner. Years of rejuvenating energy will have a place to use!
"Persist for the last trembling, and you will be able to go to the Jiaofang Division to sleep with the oiran!"

Thinking of this, Ren Pingsheng became excited and couldn't wait to start practicing while still in the carriage.

Running the meridians according to the formulas of the exercises, he felt a burst of warmth all over his body, and in less than a stick of incense, the fatigue caused by the exhaustion of the past few days was swept away!

"The practice of a stick of incense, the blood is more vigorous than the usual six hours of penance! It is indeed a top-level exercise!"

"It's a pity that my bones are too weak. Not to mention the slow cultivation speed, I can't bear too much spiritual nourishment. At most, it will leak out if I persist for a stick of incense. I have to wait for my strength to recover when I practice again."

Ren Pingsheng felt his body was unresponsive and sighed helplessly.

For him, top-level exercises are the icing on the cake.

Improving the root bone is the timely help.

It's a pity that "Longevity Technique" can't change one's aptitude.

"I can only hope that the subsequent sign-in will provide a way to improve my talent."

With this in mind, Ren Pingsheng withdrew his thoughts and opened the system interface again.

[Sign-in location: Dazhou Jingshi]

[Sign-in reward: random attribute]

The sign-in location is not refreshed, but the rewards are refreshed.

For Ren Pingsheng, this is undoubtedly the best result.

Next, as long as he stays in the capital with peace of mind, he can continue to grow stronger by practicing secretly.

Of course, the premise is that no one takes the initiative to provoke him.

The carriage was still moving, but the noise outside had subsided a lot, because they had already entered the inner city.

As the most prosperous city in the Central Plains, the capital of Dazhou is quite large in scale. Sixteen main streets extend out to thousands of streets and alleys. There are no less than one million people living in it. Four city walls divide it into four parts.

Ordinary people and all kinds of people from the rivers and lakes live in the outer city. Although there are policemen patrolling the streets day and night, there are unavoidable things that cannot be taken care of, and theft and robbery often occur.

Entering another city gate is the inner city, and most of the people who live here are high-ranking officials and dignitaries, otherwise they are wealthy businessmen with a lot of money.

Unlike the outer city, the inner city has a strict curfew, and there are stronger Jinwu guards patrolling the streets day and night, so it is naturally safer.

Being able to have a house here is a status symbol in Dazhou, which is probably equivalent to the CBD on Blue Star?

Further inside is the imperial city, where the official offices of the six departments and nine ministers are located.

Inside the imperial city is Miyagi, which is the residence of the emperor. In addition, the cabinet scholars also deal with political affairs here on weekdays.

With Ren Pingsheng's status, he naturally wanted to live in the inner city.

Before Ren Pingsheng entered Beijing, the old man gave him a carriage and twenty battle-tested guards, as well as 1 taels of silver as settling expenses.

Ren Pingsheng wanted to ask for a little more, but in exchange he said, "The son sent out, the water poured out, the money from the father is used for great things, so I will give you 1 taels!".

His parents didn't approve of him coming to the capital, and Ren Pingsheng could only give up after hearing the words, thinking that 1 taels of silver is not too little. According to the prices in Yunzhou, at least it is enough for him to live in luxury for a year and a half .

When I arrived in the capital, I found out after talking with the officials from Honglu Temple who came to greet me, that this was not the case at all.

First of all, the most basic housing is not available.

Originally, the capital had a Zhenbei Prince's Mansion bestowed by the emperor, but it was later taken back by the emperor for some reason.

The construction period for the palace built for him and the princess was slow, and they had to wait at least a year before they could move in.

Honglu Temple can provide a residence, but it can only provide a single courtyard for Ren Pingsheng, and twenty guards have to squeeze into the common shop.

They were all confidantes brought over from the northern border, sheltering him from the wind and rain all the way, and working hard without complaint. Ren Pingsheng couldn't bear to let them squeeze in the Datong shop for a year, so he gritted his teeth and took out 5000 taels at the suggestion of the Honglu Temple officials. Yinzi rented a super luxurious mansion with four entrances and five exits with a back garden for one year.

In this way, the 1 taels of silver was reduced by half in an instant. Whether this amount of silver, let alone fine clothes and food, is enough depends on the price of the capital.

"My lord, we are here."

While thinking wildly, when he heard a thick voice from outside the carriage, Ren Pingsheng withdrew his thoughts and replied, "Got it."

Open the curtain and get out of the carriage.

When he raised his eyes, what caught his eyes was a black gold-threaded nanmu plaque, on which there were two large characters - Ren Fu.

The people in Honglu Temple were quite careful, even the plaques were changed.

Ren Pingsheng nodded in satisfaction, looked at the guards, and said, "Take the horse to the backyard, and leave me a yard to enter, and you can take care of the rest."

"Yes! Prince!"

The guards thought they would live in Tongpu, but when they heard Ren Pingsheng's words, they felt much happier, and led their horses one after another, and entered the house through the side door.

Ren Pingsheng looked at Li Yong, the commander of the guards, and said, "Follow me to the White House."

"Yes!"

Li Yong's sharp-edged face was expressionless, and he replied.

Bai Mansion, also known as An Guo Gong's Mansion, is the family home of Ren Pingsheng's mother.

When Ren Pingsheng's mother was 16 years old, she married Ren Pingsheng's father as the eldest daughter of An Guogong's mansion.

Since then, he has settled in the north for more than ten years, and only has correspondence with Anguo Gongfu through letters.

Twenty years ago, for unknown reasons, Ren Pingsheng's father had an affair with the imperial court, and even the correspondence between his mother and An Guogong's mansion became very few.

And Ren Pingsheng has never seen his mother's family since he was born.

Maybe it was because he wanted to ease the relationship, or maybe he just wanted his family to meet his grandson and nephew. Before leaving the northern border, his mother specifically told him that he would have a chance to visit An Guogong's mansion when he arrived in the capital.

After so many years, it was the first time his mother asked him to do something, so the first thing Ren Pingsheng did when he came to the capital was to fulfill his mother's wish and visit his grandfather, Duke An, in the White Mansion.

I just don't know if this grandfather recognizes his grandson whom he has never met.
