The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

"I made an order to grant Zhong Li Zhong Mei'er the title of Baolin, a reward of [-], [-] pieces of silk, [-] gold pancakes, and [-] mu of fertile land. It will be set up separately in Miantu County. It will be given to walk in the palace and given... ..."

Suddenly, Li Shimin walked back to the case, looked at Zhong Wen in the hall, then at Xiao Hua at the side, and made a loud noise.

And this scene came too suddenly, making Zhong Wen feel a little stupid standing there as if he didn't understand.

I was rewarded because of what happened in Miyagi at that time.

It is understandable to win the Lord for my father and mother.

But now, his younger sister has also been rewarded, and even his adoptive daughter Ren Zhu has also been rewarded, which is beyond his understanding.

Even with previous achievements, it is impossible for everyone around him to be sheltered, but now, this is really the case.

"Your Majesty, no, my sister is still young and has no achievements. How can she be granted a title or reward? Please take it back." Zhong Wen didn't know what Li Shimin's plan was, but he still chose to refuse.

"Nine-headed Taoist priest, once you open the holy words, it's not easy to take it back. Besides, you are more powerful than anyone else, so there is no need to refuse." Shadow stood up in time and responded to Zhong Wen.

It's too embarrassing for Li Shimin.

After all, he is the lord of the Tang Kingdom, and he is just a person who rewards him. Why did he come to Zhong Wen and want to refuse?

But fortunately, the shadow reminded Zhong Wen in time, and Zhong Wen didn't say no again, otherwise, this embarrassment would definitely continue forever.

At this moment, although Zhong Wen was puzzled in his heart, thinking that even the shadow had spoken, it would be difficult for him to disobey the holy order.

A Baolin, a sixth-rank duchess, and five hundred acres of land, and rewards here and there, that's all, for Zhong Wen, or for Xiao Hua, the future must be full of food and drink.

However, Zhong Wen didn't understand the matter of walking in the palace. How could his little sister be able to walk freely in this palace?Is it because of yourself?

Many questions began to tangle in Zhong Wen's mind, and he really couldn't understand why Li Shimin did this, but thinking about it, there must be a reason for Li Shimin's reward.

"I conferred the nine poems on General Qianniu of Zuo Yulin, I conferred the title of General Attendant on You Sanqi, and gave him the title of walking in the palace..." When Li Shimin saw that Zhong Wen didn't speak any more, he seemed to have accepted the award for his younger sister, and immediately , and began to reward Zhong Wen again.

"My lord, this..."

When Zhong Wen heard that he was named a general, a regular attendant, he felt confused.

What is the position of General Zuo Yulin Qianniu? Moreover, it sounds like a general. As for the regular attendant, Zhong Wen doesn't know what it is.

As far as the officials in this state are concerned, Zhong Wen understands, but the higher the level, the more Zhong Wen does not understand.

Even though he had a chat with Li Gaoyuan and the others when he was in the temple, Zhong Wen didn't understand all the official positions.

Now, with Li Shimin's reward, Zhong Wen couldn't figure out what Li Shimin was going to do.

In fact, this is also the reason why Li Shimin rewarded Zhong Wen's younger sister first, and then rewarded Zhong Wen.

First let Zhong Wen receive the reward from his younger sister, and then add an official to Zhong Wen, in order to win Zhong Wen, a natural master, by his side Li Shimin.

"Nine-shouted Daoist, in the future, you and I will work together. There is nothing to do on weekdays, and there is no need to go to the office. Nine-shouted Daoist, you can rest in the mansion. If you have something, you will need the Xiaodao. Come and deal with it."

At this moment, Shadow opened his mouth and explained to the bewildered Zhong Wen.

"However, it would be the best if the Nine Heads Xiaodao leader is willing to participate in the court discussion, or if he is willing to go to Mao."

Afterwards, Shadow added again, and even bluntly said to Zhong Wen that this matter seems to have been settled, and you, Zhong Wen, are not allowed to refuse.

"Your Majesty, Shadow, this time I brought my little sister to Chang'an, not because I hope to get a reward from the Holy Majesty, and I brought my little sister to Chang'an just to find a wife for my little sister, to study hard and so on. And , I may also leave Chang'an temporarily, and it is impossible to stay in Chang'an for a long time."

Zhong Wen quickly responded, as for the refusal, although Zhong Wen wanted to refuse in his heart, it was related to his little sister's future life, and he was entangled in his heart, but he did not say no directly.

"You all go down." At this moment, Shadow shouted to the other guards in the palace.

There were too many people in the hall, so it was inconvenient to say anything more, so the guards and eunuchs had to leave quickly, because there were some things that Shadow was going to say next, the less people knew the better.

"Xiao Daoist, don't worry, this reward does not restrict you from leaving Chang'an, but I hope you will come to help when you are needed. As for the matter of your Taiyi sect, I have already understood it with the Holy One. Please stay in Chang'an for more time."

Seeing the guards and eunuchs leave, Shadow started talking to Zhong Wen.

Li Shimin also stood there quietly, waiting for Zhong Wen's response.

He believed that Zhong Wen would definitely agree, because this was a solution he had negotiated with Ying Ying, and it was also a solution to keep Zhong Wen in Chang'an.

In fact, the reward for Zhong Wen should have been awarded a year ago. At that time, Zhong Wen could only be blamed for leaving without saying goodbye, which made this matter nearly a year late.

Speaking of which, General Zuo Yulin Qianniu is a general from the third rank and has real power.

Moreover, he was still a general in charge of the Miyagi guards, and his authority was superimposed with Li Shan's, but he did not have the right to mobilize too many troops.

As for the regular servant of You Sanqi, he is also from the third rank, but this is not an ordinary official position.

Before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, this official position was generally held by eunuchs, but now, in the Tang Dynasty, they have different functions.

You Sanqi Changshi can walk freely in the palace, whether it is the front part of the palace city or the back part of the palace, that is, the harem, they can walk freely, which is a bit big.

For example, the shadow is the regular attendant of Zuo Sanqi, but now, awarding Zhong Wen as the regular attendant of You Sanqi is enough to show that this is to win over Zhong Wen.

But at this time, after Zhong Wen listened to Shadow's explanation, he was very hesitant in his heart. Although he was unwilling, he couldn't refuse.

Whether it's for my parents, my younger brother Xiao Wu, or even my younger sister, there is a supreme temptation.

With these identities, my father and mother's identity will probably rise to a higher level, and my little sister will also have no worries in the future.

Even his younger brother, Xiao Wu, is still only one year old and has his own identity. In the future, it is absolutely certain that he will be rewarded.

How to refuse?

Zhong Wen really didn't know how to refuse.

Moreover, from the shadow's words, he could also hear all the meaning of Li Shimin's move, which was obviously to trap himself in Chang'an City.

Chapter 366 Zhong Li walked everywhere and was shocked

Zhong Wen's entanglement is not in the reward, but in Chang'an.

Chang'an is the capital city, and there are fish eyes mixed with real people, dragons and snakes mixed up, and characters of all kinds of religions and nine streams are everywhere.

Zhong Wen was also worried that someone would find out about Longquan Temple, fearing that some accidents would happen to Longquan Temple and Longquan Village, perhaps it was a subconscious sense of crisis.

Zhong Wen didn't refute, nor refused.

Rewards are no longer important to him.

But for his family, that is definitely very important, so Zhong Wen no longer thinks about rewards.

Zhong Wen and the others who returned to the inn finally saw Jin Shui who had returned.

"Master Dao, you are finally back. I heard Xu Fu say that you are back. I believed it at first. Master Dao, is this your little sister?" Jin Shui looked at Zhong Wen and the others as they entered the guest house, Just came straight over.

"Well, this is my little sister, Xiao Hua, Jin Shui. I heard that you haven't come to the guest house very much recently. Are you so busy with business?" Zhong Wen asked, looking at Jin Shui.

"Daoist, it's not that there's nothing going on recently, that's why I didn't come to the guest house. Besides, with Xu Fu around, it's my turn." Jin Shui heard the meaning of Zhong Wen's words, and pretended to say that Jin Shui didn't seem to help wearing the same.

Indeed, after Zhong Wen entered the inn today, he found that there were no customers in the inn, and felt a little strange.

This is Zhong Wen's property, so he has to live it up no matter what.

Now it's like a stagnant water, not to mention alive, not even the most basic.

"Brother, I'll take Xiaozhu back to the room first." At this time, Xiaohua seemed to be a normal person, leading Ren Zhu into the room.

As for the award, she didn't seem to care at all. In other words, when Xiao Hua was with Zhong Wen, she was influenced by Zhong Wen, which made her not interested in the award, but was interested in martial arts. Things are more fancy.

Is Zhong Wen lazy?

lazy.

If it wasn't for Shimen's affairs, Zhong Wen would rather stay at home every day and be a rich second generation with nothing to do.

Well, the rich second generation can't do it, only the rich generation can do it.

Whether it's for your own offspring, or for the offspring of your younger brother and younger sister, you have to work hard.

What's more, Zhong Wen is more willing to see those mountains and rivers than cities like Chang'an City, because whether it is Lizhou or Chang'an, from the beginning to the end, Zhong Wen can't find any sense of belonging.

That night, Xu Fu cooked a lot of dishes to welcome Zhong Wen and his sister.

The next day, Li Shan came to the guest house early in the morning, and took Zhong Wen and the others to the Hou Mansion.

Hou Mansion is not small, but it is not big either.

It's not small, it's definitely not small for other people's ordinary houses.

But compared to the mansions of those dukes, it's really not that big, it's definitely incomparable.

However, there are basically everything that should be there, and nothing that shouldn't be left behind.

On that day, the imperial decree for the award of the brother and sister had already arrived.

Not in the guest house, but in the Hou's mansion.

As soon as the imperial decree arrived, Zhong Wen had no choice but to change his place of residence to the Hou's Mansion.

Move all the things in the original guest house to Hou's mansion.

Xu Fu, the accountant of the Hou Mansion, can be regarded as having a place to use this time.

In the past, because there was no Hou Mansion, it was just a name, and even his guest house was sold to Zhong Wen.

But now, his accountant can be said to be so busy that he can't keep his feet on the ground.

Of course, his accountant is also the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, and Xu Fu is now in charge of everything inside and out.

From the arrangement to the servants, everything was handled by him, and Zhong Wen didn't care at all, even Jin Shui was involved.

After a few days, Hou's mansion has gained some popularity. After all, the mansion is getting bigger and bigger, and it is no longer that small guest house.

"You guys, hurry up and clean up the backyard for me. Also, the little ladies need to buy more things from their daughter's house in their house. Xiaosi, you pay some money and bring a few people to buy it, Xiaohuan. Don't just stand there motionless, hurry up and move." At this moment, Xu Fu acted like a conductor, directing all the servants in the Hou's mansion to get busy.

But at this time, Xiaohua took Ren Zhu to wander around Chang'an City, but Zhong Wen didn't follow, and there were naturally two servants who followed.

In the past few days, Ren Zhu's study has been put aside for the time being, perhaps to welcome the Zhong Wen brothers and sisters, or more likely, to give Xiao Hua some time to adapt to the future life in Chang'an.

"Xiao Zhu, let's go, let's go to the West Market. Two days ago, brother took me to the West Market to buy not many preserved fruits. I still want to buy some to send back to my mother and younger brother." Looking like an adult, he led Ren Zhu, and went straight to West Market after he came out of the Hou's mansion.

"Little lady, please slow down." The two servants followed behind, carefully reminding.

"Auntie, there are many people in West City." Ren Zhu felt a little nervous.

For her, West Market was a bad place. Besides, in her heart, she felt that if she went to West Market with the little aunt in front of her, she was afraid of being beaten.

"It's fun when there are many people. If there is no one, then you have to go to the mountains. Mountains are not fun, but places with many people are more fun." not much.

Besides, it has only been a few days since she came to Chang'an, except for the first two days after her brother took her for a walk, she started a journey of exploring the secrets of Chang'an.

In addition, the Hou Mansion is not far from the West Market, which makes Xiao Hua willing to go to the West Market. What's more, besides food, the West Market also has a lot of strange things.

As for people, let alone, there are basically all people of the three religions and nine streams in the West Market, and Xiao Hua is even more willing to go shopping in the West Market.

If there is no night in a day, or if there is no curfew, maybe Xiao Hua can stay in West Market for a whole day and not take it away.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the two girls arrived at the west gate of the West Market after bouncing all the way.

"Xiaozhu, what do you want to eat? If you want to eat, tell auntie." As soon as Xiaohua took Ren Zhu into the West Market, she started to go to the place to eat.

Although the little flower is a little ghost, but her heart has never forgotten Ren Zhu, at least, she still held Ren Zhu's little hand all the way.

As for the two servants who followed her, what they were most afraid of was that something would happen to the two little ladies in front of them. Moreover, they were just servants who followed her, and they didn't dare to say anything to stop them.

Although the two of them had only arrived at the Hou Mansion for a few days, under Xu Fu's training, they knew the identities of the two young ladies they were following.

One is the younger sister of the current Marquis, Bao Lin, who is also a baroness, and the other is younger, also a baroness.

As far as the identities of the two of them are placed on anyone, they should be quiet and obediently stay in the mansion to rest, or do some daughter's work.

But now in Hao, there is a flower coming out of wandering around, and they can't stop at all, so these two servants have to deal with it carefully every time, for fear that something will happen to them, not to mention that they will lose their errands. Might lose your life.

However, the law and order in Chang'an is still good, so no one would dare to bully others.

If there are really deceitful people, they are basically the children of officials, or some honorable children, but in today's West Market, the noble children are unwilling to come, and the officials' children dare not come at will.

What happened half a year ago is probably still in front of some people's eyes. A young minister of Sinong Temple, if he said he would avoid it, he would avoid it. This is not what everyone wants to see.

……

"Boss, how much is your candied fruit per catty? How much do you have? I want to buy a lot." Xiaohua stood in front of a candied fruit stall and asked a person from the Western Regions.

Xiaohua has seen a lot of people from the Western Regions, or foreigners, and it's not as rare as it was at the beginning.

Unlike when Zhong Wen took her to visit Chang'an City, when seeing a foreigner, one had to ask: Where is he from?Why do you grow up like this.

"Little lady, how much do you want? I still have some one or two hundred catties. My candied fruit costs seven cents per catty. If my lady wants too much, I won't be able to bring that much." The man responded cautiously.

As for the little lady in front of him, the clothes he was wearing were not someone he could mess with, let alone a foreigner.

"One or two hundred catties? That's okay, you will transport it all to Zhonghou's Mansion in Yongpingfang in a while, and someone will pay you." After hearing the man's reply, Xiaohua left a sentence directly, and led Ren Zhu to go. went elsewhere.
